Reading the source. (Novice question.)

Reading the source. (Novice question.)

[McDoobie]

I downloaded and installed the mw_components library from adapower.com

Now, I'm a little fuzzy on where I look in the source code to find names of the
routines and parameters that I actually call from this group of packages.
(I'm sure this is proabably covered in my book somewhere, I just havent 
found it yet.) Specifically, I'm interested in the "bags" package. 

I'm gonna try writing some code to see if I can figure it out on my own, but a 
little pointer or two would be helpful.

Laters.

Look in the package specifications.

Apart from the obvious (looking into the .ads file and the test_bags* 
files), you can get a cross-referenced view of the source code with 
gnathtml. That's sometimes quite useful when browsing thru source.

Thanks. I am browsing the .ads files. Very informative.

This is actually easier than I thought. Compared to browsing C libraries in
particular.

Just about got the OOP concepts worked out. Those .ads files are helping 
alot with that.

Thanks again.

Indeed. I learned GtkAda by this.
