Which Win32Ada to use with GNAT 3.10p1?

Which Win32Ada to use with GNAT 3.10p1?

[Steve Doiel]

Version 3.0 of Win32ada is available from the AdaIC.  There are also a number
of patches to this version.

When the .zip file is expanded there are 2 directories created under
  ..\Win32ada\src, one for GNAT and one for ObjectAda.

I tried using the one for GNAT and found something that didn't work.  To be
specific I was using the cursor positioning function in the Win32-Wincon
module.  It turns out that a pragma had to be changed for this to work.

I then looked at the ObjectAda version and found that this change had already
been made.

Should I be using the ObjectAda version of the binding?

Also, is anyone maintaining the binding?

Thanks in advance,
Steve Doiel

I advise subscribing to chat@gnat.com for discussions regarding GNAT. There
are far more knowledgable people there who may be able to give informal
advice, many of whom do not read or contribute to CLA. In addition of course
we can supply to our supported customers versions of the binding that will
work with GNAT.
