"This is a complete set of Ada Xlib/Xt/Motif bindings, and a set of examples.

The Ada Xlib/Xt/Motif bindings require the existance of the C Xlib/Xt/Motif
bindings.  (Ie: the include files and the libraries are available).

The actual bindings are pure Ada code, produced by tools written in Ada and C,
with all the tools etc. in the tar file.

The C tools are compiled using your systems Xlib, Xt, and Xm include files,
and they use the information found there to produce Ada representation 
clauses, constants, etc. that exactly match the C representations of the 
structures, etc.

This is how this kit can reliably generate bindings for a range of
architectures, regardless of word-size, alignment-rules, etc.

applications programmer to write portable applications. An API is a 
specification of types, operations, etc, to be used by an applications 
program, along with their associated semantics. A Profile selects one or 
more standards and identifies options, restrictions, interoperability, 
and other characteristics to support a specific applications domain."

Binding: C2Ada , A Bindings Generator Tool for Ada 95

"Intermetrics has released C2ada, a C to Ada translator. This tool 
is based on the "cbind" tool previously available from Rational. 
C2ada is capable of generating thin Ada bindings, by translating C 
header files into Ada package specifications, and in addition is 
capable of translating C functions and statements into Ada package 
bodies. C2ada will do about 80% to 90% of the work of producing a 
thin binding or a translation, but the last 10% to 20% of the work 
must still be done manually. The program is free, includes source 
code, has no warranty, and is released to the Ada community in the 
hope that it will be useful. Intermetrics has used C2ada to 
produce Microsoft Windows, X Windows, and GCCS bindings.

Binding: Xview

"XView Library for Ada95

Andreas Almroth of GWU announced the release of the XView Library 
for Ada95. It is a small library for Ada95 using Gnat on a PC running
Linux. The library implements some of the objects in the XView C Library.

    What is it?

XV Ada Library is actually a bindings package for the XView library. 
I have built a new own library upon the XView bindings in hope of that this
would be easier for programmers to deal with. You don't see the real 
binding to the XView C library, they are hidden within my functions in the
various packages.

XV Ada Library is copyrighted with GNU LIBRARY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE. 
Read the file LGPL for more information. You don't need to send me any 
money to use it, but you could, if you visit Uppsala-Sweden, buy me a 
beer or just say hello, or send me a postcard...

    What does it support?

It's only a small subset of the XView C library. XV Ada Library only 
supports Frames, Panels (with Buttons, Text items, Numeric items, Choices,
Toggles, Checkboxes, Scrolling Lists and Messages), Menues, Icons, Fonts 
and Server images. As you see, this is far from the complete XView C
library. The three demo programs shows you what the library supports."

Binding: PVM

"Ken Thomas has created bindings to PVM which allows the creation of 
parallel code on machines such as the MEIKO-CS2. He wrote:

One of the problems at present with parallel Ada is the dependence 
of the tasking model on a shared memory. Hence writing parallel
code on machines such as the MEIKO-CS2 depends on a distribution 
strategy. It is possible to write message passing programs and to
this aim I have a binding for PVM. The current version 2 has been 
tested on a MEIKO-CS2 and a SPARC with gnat version 3.01. The
binding uses Ada95 stream attributes to pack the message buffers. 
These have only recently been implemented."

Re: List of Ada bindings (LONG)

[Juergen Pfeifer]

wrt the ncurses binding the information in PAL is rather out of date.
It's hard to get an updated version into PAL:-(

The current status is that the ncurses binding has version 4.2 and
copyright has been transfered to the FSF. It is now full open source
and has the same license as the GNAT runtime. You can find it on
ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu or more recent developer versions on
ftp://ftp.clark.net/pub/dickey/ncurses!
