I am working slowly on moving gnat to this, but its not as trivial as
you may think.
1. make files between mpw and gcc are MUCH different. stan made a
translator which does some of the work, but i don't yet know how much
work its going to be to move ada make to mpw
2. tasking runtime we did depends very much on machten libraries event
the native one is using a stripped down soon to be statically linked
version of machten libs. so tasking runtime will have to be redone
completely. mpw environemnt does not provide made facilities required
by fsu and provenzano threads so this is a VERY non-trivial process
certainly more than i am interested in doing so while i will probably
port the compiler in the next couple months, i will not be providing
tasking with it.
3. it appears that because of the way mpw has forced stan to translate
the make files and patches that it will be a lot more work to maintain
the updates than it is with gnat.
bottom line, i would really like to have a version that was a
metrowerks plugin, but mpw version is just not worth the trouble. mpw
offers NO advantages (other than some people already have it) over
machten once the new codebuilder version comes out from tenon. This
will happen in the next month or so depending on how quick we get
native mac tasking wrapped up.
