Hi,
I wrote a package to be included with my main program, my directory
looks like:
generic_list.ads // package def
generic_list.adb // package body
AdaGenericLinkedList.adb // my main program
Now I need all three to be present in the same directory to compile the
main adb file with gnat make. I see some websites suggesting Ada's
compilation method is different than C++'s, as in you don't need all
the package parts to be present in order to compile successfully, but
that doesn't seem to be the case here (if I remove generic_list.ads /
adb compilation fails).
Is there some other compilation style which lets you segment out some
files somehow?
Thanks,
Mark

No, see my other post. Note that GNAT can't do inline expansion without the body - other Ada compiler are better in that respect. Martin ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

By not using the usual object files (which are mostly a memory image plus relocation info), instead storing a more highlevel description of the compiled code and doing inlining during linking? I admit I don't know what I'm talking about, but that would be how I'd try to implement this feature. Regards -- Markus ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

That's not unlike how the C++ compiler which implements "export" for templates does it. But of course, doing this means that the implementors have to invent yet another intermediate format and a set of tools to deal with it. Since the source code is a perfectly good representation of what needs to be inlined, there's no real need to do all that work. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread

In short you need one of those to link: 1) .adb & .ads 2) .o & .ali 3) .lib & .ali 4) .dll/.so & .ali In C++ speak: the .ali files are kind of "precompiled header files". Also Note: This is the way GNAT implement the an Ada-Library-Manager. Other compiler might use different techniques. Martin ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 9+ messages in thread
