These studies will not replace the Ada 9X Project requirements analysis but are intended to augment and facilitate future Ada 9X activities. One of these studies deals with Section 11.6 of the reference manual. This section provides rules that were intended to allow increased optimization of Ada programs but it appears that useful optimizations may have been inadvertently prohibited, and dangerous optimizations may have been allowed. To help complete this study, comments on the following topics will be helpful: - Useful optimizations potentially prevented by the current wording of section 11.6; - Dangerous optimizations potentially allowed by the current wording. The point of contact for this study is Dr. John B. Goodenough Software Engineering Institute Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, PA 15213 412-268-6391 Goodenough@sei.cmu.edu Please send your comments to Dr. Goodenough by 31 March 1989. The report on this topic will be made available to the public upon completion. Ada 9X is an Ada community project. I appreciate your support and consideration of this matter. CHRIS ANDERSON Ada 9X Project Manager February 22, 1989
