No, I am saying something different, it is perfectly possible to run Pentium optimized code under VxWorks, and any decent Ada compiler for the x86 should be able to generate such code, and your Ada vendor should be able to tell you how! For gnu-c code, gcc has the capability of generating Pentium-optimized code that can be used under gcc, and again your Ada vendor should be able to tell you how to do this. If they can't then this really is not a VxWorks limitation! -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own
