There is no such feature in standard Ada 95 (this was very
deliberately omitted from the language design for reasons that
have been extensively discussed here and elsewhere in the past).
Many vendors have indeed implemented some kind of separate
conditional compilation semantics, e.g. GNAT comes with the
gnatprep tool that provides preprocessing capability.
There is no agreed on standard for these preprocessing
capabilities, so their use should be avoided in portable code.
