Subject: How smart are Ada compilers?

Message-ID: <7d5n3s$mf8$1@nnrp1.dejanews.com> (raw)
The Ada 83 code (Apex compiler) I am examining uses machine code to access
486 block move instructions to copy data into and out of memory shared
between multiple boards. I would think that an Ada compiler targeted to a
486 would use such instructions to implement Ada assignments of large objects
without resorting to machine code. Does Apex (GNAT, Aonix, Green Hills, RR,
etc) generate such code automatically?
