Using sockets on Solaris with Ada

Using sockets on Solaris with Ada

[Gilles Dubochet]

Hello everyone,

I am a computer science student in Switzerland, and I am currently
learning Ada on a Sun computer running Solaris 5.7.

I was wondering if there exists some package that deals with sockets on
this platform. I know one could do everything using C, but I am in the
first year and C is a second year class, therefore, I'll need an Ada
solution for now.

Thank you very much for your answers.

No no no no don't use C, Ada is much better. You can find AdaSockets here:

Yes, one could do everything using C. One could also build a full-scale
suspension bridge out of toothpicks. That doesn't make it a good idea. :-)

Some compilers will provide a package for you that will give you everything
you need for sockets. You didn't say which compiler you are using. I recall
the VADS Ada compiler on this platform had a package to do this - but I
don't remember the details. Others probably do as well.

Check the documentation for your specific compiler and see if they mention
sockets. If you don't find anything, try posting here the specific
compiler/version you are using and maybe someone will know what the package
is called & where to find it.

Thank you for your answers. AdaSockets works great.
