I am following a course about languages and compilers; I would like to
have an idea about how a real-life language and compiler is done. I
will post you some questions, and I hope that someone who works in the
project of a commercial ADA compiler will answer me.

1- is ADA an LR(1), an LALR(1) language, or neither?
2- how is a commercial ADA compiler structured?
3- what kind of tools are used to support the developing of the
compiler?
4- are there some features in the language that deserve particular
attention, or create particular trouble?
5- are attribute grammars the formalism used for the semantical
analisis? if not, what kind of formalism is used, and why?

Thank you!
