No, it's not. It is just an automatically generated binding, with a few minor
changes. This is extracted from the binding:
-- Changes from automatically generated source:
--
-- Remove X_ prefix from all identifiers.
-- Add identifier type definitions.
-- Replace event types with variant record.
-- Replace DISPLAY_TYPE with a subtype of SYSTEM.ADDRESS.
-- Rename EVENT_TYPE argument of CHECK_TYPED_EVENT and
-- CHECK_TYPED_WINDOW_EVENT procedures to EVENT_TYP, to avoid conflict
-- with type name.
-- Make SIZE_HINTS_TYPE.SZHN_FLAGS be SIZE_HINTS_MASK_TYPE.
---
The identifier type definition are just "subtype" of SYSTEM.UNSIGNED_LONGWORD !!
The binding is 20574 lines long, without a tool like SCA it is useless....
By the way which is the latest version of Steve Hyland X-Ada. We have got the
version named Release 2 ? We have modified this version to run on VMS with
DECWindows. Anybody interested ?
