I used GNAT on an Alpha/VMS platform & it supported the full Ada95 language. It had some pragmas that were not in the standard that were put there to support old DEC-Ada83 pragmas. (BTW: Perfectly legal, just in case someone wants to start The Great DEC/Ada/Nonstandard/Failure Debate again. :-) There was probably some support for DEC/Ada supplied packages that weren't in the standard (Starlet comes to mind), but I never had to use that, so I don't know for sure. (Again, a perfectly legal and reasonable thing to do.) Most/all of that was done for compatibility with the Ada83 DEC compiler & beyond that I don't know of any "extensions". I think the original issue was one of trying to take some Ada95 code and cobble it backwards to run on the DEC Ada83 compiler. Upgrading to Ada95 would likely solve the problems. I doubt there would be much need to get any extensions made to the compiler to do that.
