See http://www.semdesigns.com/Products/DMS/DMSToolkit.html. It could be very easily configured to extract arbitrary information from Ada comments. Its Ada83/95 parser builds a full syntax tree decorated with the comment text. Walking over the tree can visit all the comments, what you do with them after than can be arbitrary. A "trivial" application is to print the source code, with the comments, nicely formatted. See http://www.semdesigns.com/Products/Formatters/AdaFormatterExample.html. -- Ira D.
