Hi,
Does anyone know if i can use GNAT to do OS work? I don't mean writing
apps but the OS itself. Currently just starting work on it and we're
implementing virtual FS support as a file on disk. We're doing it in C via
DJGPP but i hate C, like many on this group i gather. I know of AdaOS and
have been to the site for it. The info seems to suggest that you can't use
GNAT, and the development of an Ada compiler for this kinda thing is needed.
Why can't i use Ada? Everything would be great and falt free, well free
from C anyway. Can I link DJGPP with Ada? That might be a temp solution.
I thought GNAT was modified C backend so what would get in my way.
I wouldn't have to edit autoexec.bat, reboot, do some C work, edit
autoexec.bat and reboot, do some Ada work, etc...
Thanks
Chris Campbell
