:
I have a question about DoD certification of ADA.
I was recently told that certification is given for an ADA compiler,
it's runtime support, running on a certain machine with a stated
configuration, and targeted for a certain machine with a certain machine
with a stated configuration.
Thus a certified ADA cross compiler running on a Vax under UNIX and
producing code for a SUN workstation would have to be recertified if
the code was to be used on some other 68000 machine.
How much of this is true? Sounds outrageous.
If this is largely true, doesn't it mean that ADA can never be used on
a new machine? A target machine must be at least as old as the certification
process is long?
Thanx, B<
