There is a very high probability it will, provided you don't use
identifiers that have become keywords in Ada 2005: "interface",
"overriding", "synchronized".
You can continue programming Ada 95 with an Ada 2005 compiler.
You will just benefit from the improvement of compile-time
diagnostics.
They have become very smart over time.
So the main surprise that may arise by switching from GNAT 3.11 to a
recent version of GNAT might be a number of new warnings about
uninitialized variables, or about the wrong assumption that s'First=1
if s is a String parameter, or unused code or variables, or
potentially infinite loops, etc.
