The validation suite consists of many, many programs and doesn't come
close to what this student is after. We do need to point out that
a reasonable Ada "program" typically consists of a main and several
packages; a monolithic Pascal-style program is simply not Ada-like.
Actually, the instrument panel example from the GNAT samples library
is a quite good approximation to what this student is looking for.
It shows generics, dynamic data structures (linked lists), and type
extension/dispatching quite nicely, in addition to the usual syntactic
stuff.
Tasking is missing; also user-defined exceptions. But as a concise
example of most of Ada 95, I'd recommend it highly. It's included
with every GNAT distribution archive.
