It is impossible to create a correct vgrind definition for ada.
There are two major difficulties:
1. Some reserved words can also be attributes (digits).
2. The ' does either mark the start of a character constant or
something else (qualified expression, attribute etc.).
Vgrind is not able to handle this. For our local use I have written
a {n,t,dit}roff preprocessor that is able to handle correctly Fortran
and Ada code, but does not have a lot of the niceties of vgrind.
I might feel inclined to post it somewhere.
