Subject: Estimating conversion of Ada 83 to Ada 95

Message-ID: <7jj9kr$2hr$1@news2.tor.accglobal.net> (raw)
We're converting a 640 KSLOC real-time, distributed simulation from
Ada 83 (VADS) to Ada 95. I expect most of the work will be replacing
VADS-specific packages with Ada 95 library packages and POSIX packages.
Based on some limited conversion work we've already done, I'm using
162 LOC/Hour for converting from VADS to GNAT Ada 95 for those files
which include lots of special stuff such as OS calls, use of VADS
packages, use of Oracle Pro*Ada, etc. For the rest, I figure it'll
be at least 5 times faster than that, for a conversion rate of
812 LOC/Hour. This includes conversion, compilation, and testing.
I expect we'll use the GNAT Ada83 switch for the first pass, then
turn it off to see what happens.
Anyone have any evidence that I'm way off on this estimate?
