This tool really is Ada-smart. It reads your code into an attributed tree where each node in the tree corresponds to a program structure. In this way it automatically categorizes each construct in your file. In contrast, if you used text-oriented tools like awk, sed, grep, or perl, you must do the categorization yourself. Ada-ASSURED can also do a smart grep where it can do a structured search across multiple Ada files. Tasks like these are trivial with the AA scripting language because it has access to the structure of your Ada program, not just the text. There is a small catch, however. It's not free (some of us tool vendors who invested in Ada would like to eat, too ;-), unless you're an academic teaching an Ada class. I'd be happy to let you try it out for free, however. Drop me a line if you'd like an eval. Jeff Burns ----------------------------- Jeff Burns, Director of Marketing GrammaTech, Inc.
