Newsgroups: comp.lang.ada Date: 1999-01-19T00:00:00+00:00 List-Id: Generally everything is very simple. Almost any compiler has the option of producing Assemler listing. Anyone who wants to know what is really happening can turn on this option and to study assembler code which will answer all the questions. This is very interesting. Moreover if anyone really interested to know his/her tool then he/she will do this occasionally. Complains that he/she does not have University education in CS are not serious regarding this issue. Any professional educates himself/herself when needed. University education is only a starting point. Any professional should be able to learn things without any coursers and to find any needed information. Of course I admit that there are some things that difficult to grasp without someone help (some abstract theories that difficult to understand without help of teacher) but assembler is not abstract theory and there are a lot of excellent books. I can tell that there are a lot of things that much more complicated than simple assembler. So if one wants to know something just go ahead and spend some time learning new things. I think that everything depends only on personal mentality. Some people like to learn new things some others not. Some people do not like to strain themselves. Probably company that produce particular compiler should pay more attention to this aspect and provide some manuals or help files about using assembler with that system. Even if person will not develop any assembler code it will help to better understand compiler itself (for those who want). I found that GNAT , Aonix do not provide clear, good information regarding this issue. A good example is a Borland Delphi RAD which has comprehensive assembler section and it takes less then hour to understand assembler within Delhi. In Win NT world Delphi is the best example how things should be done. If any company will produce something close to Delphi based on ADA95 this can have great success. RR Software with CLAW product is making steps in right direction but may be ACT or Averstar also will think about this ? Regards to all.
