Especially since the Ada is completely portable. To be truly fair, remember that __LINE__ is defined by ANSI C, and is therefore as portable as anything defined in Ada 95. This is one facility that Ada 95 does NOT have; it requires a pre-processor to support it. ANSI C defines a pre-processor; Ada 95 does not. The rest of Alan's critique is well taken! -- - Stephe
