Contact me to receive it. oliver.kellogg@vs.dasa.de -- GNACK (the GNU Ada CORBA Kit) is a project to produce a freely distributable OMG IDL to Ada95 mapping implementation that uses the GNU Ada compiler, GNAT. It is obviously a lot of work to produce a full native Ada95 ORB. So initially the goal is set a little lower: interface to an existing free CORBA implementation. The first target of this is ORBit, a C language based ORB (for further info, see http://www.labs.redhat.com/orbit/) ORBit was chosen for the ease of interfacing between Ada95 and C. It is further planned to support interfacing with TAO, a C++ based ORB (see http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/TAO.html), however the current GNAT version 3.11p still has problems with the C++ interfacing. GNACK makes use of IDLtree.pm, an IDL parsing frontend written in Perl. The Ada source code generator backend is idl2ada.pl. The interfacing is light weight, i.e. thin Ada wrappers around the C/C++ produced by the ORB system's IDL compiler. A small demo program with an Ada client and an Ada server communicating through ORBit is now running. However, the development stage is still to be considered alpha. I am announcing this at an early date to encourage active participation by others interested in using CORBA with Ada. Oliver M.
