Anyway, be reassured: the 83->95 upward compatilibility is ~99.995%.
I did port a >100'000 lines program from Alsys (Ada 83) to
GNAT, without ever using the -gnat83.
There were +/- 5 lines to change:
- a pragma Elaborate_body in 1 package
- generic_elementary_functions to Ada.(the same)
- a 1 place, GNAT couldn't decide between
character and wide_character (a loop).
That's all!
For my own projects in numerics I have plenty of packages
that travel from DEC Ada (83) to GNAT and vice versa
without any change...
