Subject: Fixed point design error in Ada95

Message-ID: <6t6ihg$dkn1@onews.collins.rockwell.com> (raw)
I don't follow this newsgroup regularly, so I'm sorry if this topic has
been discussed to death already.
I'd like to know if there is a plan to fix the design error in Ada95 that
prevents user overloading of the "*" and "/" operators for fixed-point
types (it results in an ambiguity on the call)? The last I heard, the
GNAT compiler did not implement fixed-point correctly (as per the Ada95
spec) so this wasn't a problem for that compiler. Is that true? Can
other compilers do the same?
I had heard that this problem was known and was being discussed over a
year ago. Was there a resolution, or is it being deferred to the next
version of Ada?
Is there a web site that contains Ada language issues such as this?
Also, what is the name of the Ada language maintenance committee?
Thanks,
Wayne.
