I have put gnat-2.00-hppa-bin.tar.gz in languages/ada/incoming on
wuarchive.wustl.edu

it is 3127693 bytes.

looks like the respective sparc-bin,
tasking still isn't supported. :(

have fun,

Re: Ada to C translator

[Robert Dewar]

Polar asks:

"Can anyone give me a pointer to an Ada to C language translator that
 *supports Ada tasking*.

I am getting the impression that GNAT does not. However, I would prefer
C to C++ as that C++ would just require yet another compiler."

The comment on GNAT seems to suggest that GNAT might be an Ada to C
translator. It is most certainly nothing of the kind, it is an Ada
compiler, and no more relevant to the issue of translating Ada to C
(with or without Ada), than any other Ada compiler.

Doing an accurate translation of tasking Ada to C would be a big job,
since you would have to have a complete, and usable, version of the Ada
tasking support library written in C.

Thanks to Eric Slutz (slutz@dtc.hp.com).
For those guys in Europe who don't want to get hang on wuarchive (what a
crowded place!), I have copied  gnat-2.00-hppa-bin.tar.gz in pub on
ftp.enac.dgac.fr
And now let me see what it looks like.

Remember you can mount wuarchive via NFS if you don't want to wait for
years to get ftp access: 
wuarchive.wustl.edu:/archive

Mirroring in Europe makes more sense, anyway.

I've just tried to build gnat-2.00-src with gnat-2.00-hppa-bin and
have already encountered a show stopper.  Unfortunately, there is no
place in the docs that says where to report bugs.  Can someone help me?
I'm desperate to get Gnat running here.

Instructions for bug reports are in the source directory in the file
gnatinfo.txt.

Re: GNAT 2.00 HP

[Robert Dewar]

Ronald, it is clearly written in the docs to send bug reports and other
reports of difficulties to gnat-report@cs.nyu.edu. There are a couple of
special tricks to getting the HP-UX cross-port to work. I don't know them,
but if you send mail to gnat-report@cs.nyu.edu, you can get some help.

Sorry for posting this, but I guess there are still people in the Ada world
who don't know the address!
