During the last two months, I took on my free time to fix some bugs in FSF GNAT. AdaCore was very reactive in assisting me, reviewing the proposed fixes, testing them using their own regression test suite and modifying them when needed. As a company, AdaCore will not fix bugs reported by non-customers before doing what they have to do for their customers. But they do invest resources in helping people *fix* bugs in the public version. The way to influence FSF GNAT development is to *do* it :) Sam -- Samuel Tardieu -- sam@rfc1149.net -- http://www.rfc1149.net/
