ANNOUNCE: GNAT 3.15p release

ANNOUNCE: GNAT 3.15p release

[Arnaud Charlet]

 GNAT is a complete Ada95 compilation system, maintained and distributed
 under the GNU Public License by Ada Core Technologies.

 GNAT is based on GCC, the GNU Compiler Collection developed by the
 Free Software Foundation.

 From time to time, Ada Core Technologies makes available public
 versions of the GNAT technology, derived from the same code base
 as the commercial GNAT Pro technology. These versions are freely
 and widely downloadable from multiple web sites at no charge.
 They are intended for student and research use, where a comprehensive
 Ada 95 compiler technology is needed, but no support of any
 kind is required.

 This is NOT an evaluation version of GNAT Pro: if you want to
 evaluate an industrial-strength, fully supported Ada compiler, please
 contact either Ada Core Technologies (sales@gnat.com) or
 ACT Europe (sales@act-europe.fr) for information on availability and
 support services for the GNAT Professional edition.

 The current distribution of the public version of GNAT is 3.15p. This
 version is based on GCC 2.8.1. It should not be confused with the
 version of GNAT available with GCC 3.2, which is an alpha version of the
 integration of GNAT with recent versions of the GCC code generator, and
 does not correspond to any specific GNAT release.

 GNAT 3.15p is available at http://libre.act-europe.fr/GNAT and is
 mirrored at ftp.cs.nyu.edu/pub/gnat

 The list of new features is available at
 http://libre.act-europe.fr/GNAT/3.15p/features

  When I try to gnatmake something, it compiles, then ends with:

  I downloaded and executed gnat-3.15p-nt.exe and gnatwin-3.15p.exe
from libre.act-europe.fr/GNAT to replace my old 3.14 installation.
Is something additonal needed to get "consistent versions of gcc/gnatbind"?

I first removed all 3.14 related installations, then installed the
corresponding 3.15p versions. A Hello World! compiles and runs.

Then I've tried mkshapes.bat from the CLAW IE, which ran into
an elaboration circularity.

  When I installed 3.15 it asked if I wanted to remove 3.14 and I said
Yes.  When that resulted in the gcc/gnatbind problem I tried "Add/Remove"
to get rid of all Gnat stuff and then reran gnat-3.15p-nt and
gnatwin-3.15p.  "gnatmake test" still gets the same gcc/gnatbind error
message.

  Apparently the static elaboration in Gnat 3.15 doesn't work like others.
The full fix is an appropriate set of "pragma"s.  That's used in the
upcoming Claw release (which also drops the special patches no longer
needed to get around a Gnat 3.13/3.14 bug).  For today, the easy fix is to
use "-gnatE".

  The problem turned out to be the continued existence of an old, patched,
version of s-osprim.ali  Deleting that made things start working.

  Or you can use wglink - search www.adapower.com for "wglink".

  How about if you add a protected type declaration. I get

gnatbind -x hello.ali
fatal error: file s-osprim.ali is incorrectly formatted
make sure you are using consistent versions of gcc/gnatbind
  ...

  when I do "gnatmake hello" where hello.adb is

with ada.text_io;
procedure hello is
  protected Variable is
    procedure Read(X : out integer);
    procedure write(X : in integer);
  private
    v : integer := 0;
  end variable;

  protected body variable is
    procedure Read(X : out integer) is
    begin x := v;end read;
    procedure write(X : in integer) is
    begin v := x;end write;
  end variable;

begin
  ada.text_io.put_line("hello");
end hello;

We faced a small problem with gnat 3.15p and -s switch for gnatmake.
For some compiler switches combinations, it does not recongnize that this is
the same combination.
See example above.
This occurs with linux and windows versions.

Did I miss some changes in this new version ?
Did I miss something in the documentation ?

Yes. The GNAT Users Guiide says -s is used in place of -c, not in addition

Are you not confusing -s and -S?

Yes, I think he is
Anyway, suppress the -c option if you want.
The same problem will occur : hello_world.adb will be recompiled.

I know this problem occurs on 3.15a1 built for Linux from sources, but
thought it was fixed for 3.15a1 binary for Windows. I believe it's
fixed for Linux in a 3.16 wavefront, but that won't help 3.15p users!

(the Linux/Windows business above may be down to my misinterpretation
of an ACT remark and the symptoms, of course. I did wonder why there
would be a difference ..)

For what it's worth, the problem also exists in GCC 3.3 -- at least if
you use any optimisation.

   smaug.pushface.org[19]$ gnatmake -c -u -s -g user.adb -gnatwaL -f
   gcc -c -g -gnatwaL user.adb

You see that [20] correctly realised there was nothing to do.
