The bulk of the frontend is in Ada, and the > backend is in C. Okay, the statement that GNAT is in Ada and C is being repeated so often that people are now actually starting to beleive it. The correct statement would be that GNAT is written in Ada95 and the GCC RTL. i.e. GCCs internal representation tokens. As far as I know, there is not a single line of C code anywhere in the GNAT source code "proper". I could be mistaken, but I dont think I am. Chris
