ANN: Ada 2005 standard container library tutorial available

[Matthew Heaney]

The Ada 2005 standard container library tutorial that I presented at
Ada-Europe 2005 is now available:

<http://charles.tigris.org/ai302_tutorial.ppt>
<http://charles.tigris.org/ai302_tutorial.pdf>

The links appear under the "Related resources" section in the
Description part of the Charles library CVS repository home page:

<http://charles.tigris.org/>

The standard container library is specified by AI-302, the drafts of
which are maintained here:

<http://www.ada-auth.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/AIs/AI-20302.TXT>

Regards,

No deques?

Have deques been dropped from the container library?  I seem to
remember seeing them mentioned in the past, and both Charles and
the C++ STL have them.

They are not part of the AI that is approved for Ada200Y - there is only 
room for so much.

There are no deques in the Ada 2005 standard container library.  (They 
were in my original proposal, but were quickly dropped in order to keep 
the library to a manageable size.)

In the Ada User Journal, there is a series "Rationale for Ada 2005" by 
John Barnes, which will eventually be reprinted in one document. I think 
such a container tutorial should be included in the final Rationale for 
Ada 2006 (of course more in prose).

I wrote a paper last year for the Ada User Journal about my Charles
tutorial, and was already thinking about writing a similar paper for
this year's standard container library tutorial.  (Maybe I can convince
you to be a reviewer...)

John has been writing such a paper as part of the Rationale. Indeed, its
pretty much the only part that he's still working on. His work caused
another bunch of minor changes to the library at the recent York ARG meeting
(no, nothing was deleted).
