First Year of the HBAP Ada WWW Server

First Year of the HBAP Ada WWW Server

[Magnus Kempe]

The Home of the Brave Ada Programmers (HBAP Ada WWW Server) "celebrated"
its 1st anniversary on March 3rd.  There have been more than 250'000
hits since this server was created.  Usage has steadily increased, with
a total of about 32'000 hits in January 1995 (compare to 7'500 in March
1994) and over 40'000 hits in the first half of March 1995!

The HBAP keeps growing.  Here are some salient, recent additions and
contributions:

March 1995
      The hypertext version of the Ada 95 Reference Manual (final
      version 6.0) is online.  The hypertext Reference Manual and
      Rationale are downloadable by FTP.  A group at the University of
      Geneva has created a very nice set of documents describing and
      cross-referencing the syntax rules of Ada 95, illustrated with
      syntactic diagrams ("syntax as railroad maps" :-).

February 1995
      New repository registered: AdaBasis.  Added a tutorials section
      (based on info assembled by David Wheeler).  Added PDI in the
      examples section (contributed by David Wheeler).  The Ada 95
      Rationale is online in hypertext format (contributed by Laurent Guerby).

January 1995 
      Added a free online Ada 95 tutorial: Lovelace (written by David Wheeler).
      "Programming with Ada" FAQ added.

December 1994 
      Added a searchable bibliography in the Books, Articles, and
      Bibliographies section (refer file contributed by Dave Emery).
      Added a section for Ada examples.  Added a link to the formal
      definition for the SPARK Ada 83 subset.


Do _you_ also have something to contribute?  Then Presto!  Email it to me.

Direct your www-browser at the HBAP, URL http://lglwww.epfl.ch/Ada/ for
further information.

Enjoy.

There is a nice Ada 83 (pseudo-machine) compiler at

   ftp://ftp.seas.gwu.edu/pub/ada/gw-adaed/mac/...

(or, in English instead of URL: FTP to "ftp.seas.gwu.edu" and change
into subdirectory pub/ada/gw-adaed/mac and poke around).

Ada compiler

[Sergey]

Hi, 

Guys, I'm experienced C++ programmer and pretty new to Ada. Despite
from that I'd like to use Ada for my current project (it's not a big
deal but ...) and I have   same questions for you ... I've to use
RHEL-3 ( NPTL is the keyword here ) - a platform where ( as I heard )
gnat-3.15p doesn't do well ( tasking is completely broken ). RHEL-3
comes with gcc-3.2.3 and contains gnat as well, but ( been googling a
little ) I've found that it isn't recommended for use in production
...  So my question - what Ada compiler are you guys using on RHEL (
or RHL-9 )?


Sincerely 
Sergey

I don't use Red Hat Enterprise Linux (I assume that's the correct
expansion of the acronym), but I think your problem can be solved by
setting the environment variable "LD_ASSUME_KERNEL" to "2.4.1" (or
"2.2.<something else>").

You have a few alternatives:
  - if you care about "use for production", you should probably get a 
support contract from Ada Core Technologies. That way, you get a 
validated compiler built for RHEL. ACT's support is a little expensive 
and geared for large development teams but the quality of support has 
been excellent.
  - if you don't have $$, you can still use 3.15p if you specify
   export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1
to get the old tasking behavior (which works fine). This was described 
on comp.lang.ada some time ago. For example, see
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&selm=uel0sqyq8.fsfYB8X%40earthlink.net
for more information.
  - or you can try gcc-3.2.3. Perhaps someone else can comment on how 
well it works (or doesn't).

I run RH 9 where I use two Ada development accounts, one for 3.15p
development and one for what came with the system, i.e., gcc-3.2.3.

Ditto, this is what I do, never had any problems with it.

I compile the exact same code from the 3.15p baseline under gcc 3.2.3 and it
compiles and runs fine--I've noticed no differences in execution. (And I
admit being a bit surprised about my lack of problems given the reports of
3.2 problems.) The only compilation difference is 3.2.3 warnings that the
pragma "Unreferenced" is unknown.

My software, DTraq (www.dtraq.com/dtraq.html), heavily uses tasking and the
GUI is implemented with GtkAda, and so far--knock on wood--my experience
with the output of the two compilers has been one of identical execution.
(DTraq also uses ASIS, which isn't available for 3.2.3, so I can't compile
that portion of DTraq of course, but the output of the 3.15p version of the
executable that employs ASIS is usable by the remainder of the tool, so
everything ends up working just fine.)

If you have the source of gcc 3.2.3 (good distribututions come with sources)
then you could compile your own ASIS:

Ok, I don't know exactly but the only thing that I can said for
certain - it isn't that good. I've tried to compile aws-1.4.0 using
3.2.3. Compilation finished well, but regression tests have badly
failed...

Hunh, that's very curious. Have you been able to track it down to specific
lines of code or constructs that aren't executing correctly? I'm curious,
it'd be interesting (to me, anyways :-) to see just what kind of constructs
aren't compiling correctly.

DTraq uses the aforementioned tasking, as well as (gnat) sockets, stream I/O
and attributes, dynamic allocation of objects and tasks, tagged and derived
types, protected objects, child packages, generics--pretty much the whole
gamut of language features, and nothing yet appears to be acting up for me.

Have you filed problem reports in GCC's bugzilla?  This kind of
information, if detailed, is very valuable, especially if the problems
are regressions since 3.15p.

I just received a bunch of very detailed bug reports for 3.15p.  Since
3.15p doesn't have a public bug database, I'll file them in the Debian
bug tracking system for all to see.  Time permitting, I'll do this over
this and next weeks.

Hi Ludovic, gcc 3.2.3 is horribly out of date, so wouldn't it be pointless
to file bug reports against it?  Better to use gcc from CVS.

It is true that GCC 3.2.3 is a bit old, but 3.3.x is not much better
as far as Ada is concerned.  Filing bug reports against 3.2.3 and
trying to reproduce them on 3.3.x and 3.4 would be a tremendous help
for GCC developers.

Moreover, several GNU/Linux distributions still in widespread use ship
GCC 3.2.x (e.g. Red Hat 9, Slackware 9.1, Debian Sarge, and Red Hat
Enterprise Linux which Sergey, the OP, uses).

I think that if you find a bug with 3.2.3, then you should check if the bug
still exists in gcc CVS before reporting it to the gcc people.  What is the
point of telling the gcc developers about bugs they already fixed?  There
is however a point in reporting such bugs to your distribution (Debian etc),
since it is sometimes possible to backport fixes from CVS to gnat 3.15p or
whatever (I do this myself: I'm running 3.15p + patches).

People compiling Ada would do better to stick to 3.15p.

This is indeed the policy of GCC developers; they do not support any
version of GCC but the latest release (3.3.3 as of now).

Before filing a bug to GCC, you should not only check it against the
latest release, but also make sure that this bug was not introduced by
the distribution; i.e. you should only file bugs if you use an
unmodified GCC.  Also, you should search the bug database to see if it
has been reported before.

Still, if you find a bug in 3.2.3 that is fixed in 3.3.3, I think you
should file it and close it immediately, and provide any workaround
you know of for the version in question.  The fact that this bug was
fixed is valuable information that deserves to be public.  The
workaround, if any, is even more valuable.

> There is however a point in reporting such bugs to your distribution
> (Debian etc), since it is sometimes possible to backport fixes from

Yes.  The distribution acts as the front line of support for all the
software therein; if you find a bug in any software that came with
your distro, you normally report it to the distro.  The main reason
for this is that distros often patch the software, and the bug may or
may not originate from upstream.

If it turns out that the bug does come from upstream, the maintainer
(for Debian that would be Matthias Klose or myself) will forward the
bug to upstream, i.e. report@gnat.com or the GCC bugzilla database.
If you *know* that the bug comes from upstream, then you help us by
submitting the bug there as well as in the distro's bug database.

Another way in which bug databases are useful is to permit tracing
patches to bugs; i.e. by looking at the bug log, you can find out
which change to GCC fixed a particular bug.  Without this information,
it is very difficult to backport fixes.

I just filed a bunch of bug reports in the Debian database for GNAT
3.15p.  There are several more that I have to file as well.  The next
steps are to try and reproduce them with GCC 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4.  Those
not fixed should then be tagged upstream and forwarded to GCC's
bugzilla.  I will appreciate any help with this; if you wish to
contribute some of your time, please add information to the bugs in
the Debian database:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=gnat

> (I do this myself: I'm running 3.15p + patches).

I have already applied one of your patches to gnat in Debian (see the
changelog if you don't believe me).  But I would be very interested in
your other patches, if any.  Here again, the bug database is a useful
tool for traceability.

Yes, but they don't necessarily know that and use whatever their
distribution chose for them.

Hi Ludovic, as far as sockets go, I gave up on the 3.15p implementation
and replaced it entirely with the gcc CVS version.  To do this, it is enough
to replace the files g-soccon.ads  g-socket.adb  g-socket.ads  g-socthi.adb
g-socthi.ads with the files of the same names from gcc CVS.  Also, you will
need to extract the entry socket.o from CVS libgnat.a, something like this:
	ar x libgnat.a socket.o
and then stick the extracted socket.o into the 3.15p libgnat.a.  If you want
to build socket.o from source, I guess you will have to modify the 3.15p
Makefiles a bit.

Ciao,

Duncan.

Thanks for the info.  Indeed I must be able to rebuild from sources;
this is Debian policy.  I do not mind that I have to tweak the
Makefiles, as I have already done that quite a lot.  Would you explain
just why you gave up on GNAT.Sockets in 3.15p?  Would you file bugs in
Debian for me?  Then I will do as you say and fix the bugs.  Filing
the bugs in the Debian bug tracking system helps justify and trace
these fixes.

Re: Ada compiler

[Duncan Sands]

Hi Ludovic,

> ...  Would you explain
> just why you gave up on GNAT.Sockets in 3.15p?

the main reason was the bad support for select (Check_Selector):
the Socket_Set_Type allowed for only a maximum of 32 file
descriptors (sockets + normal files).  Believe me, it is easy to write
a program that has more than 32 files open at once.  Fixing this
requires a complete rewrite of Socket_Set_Type, which was done
by the GNAT people at some point after 3.15p.  I could have backported
just this change, but since it was quite big and the 3.15p GNAT sockets
implementation seemed generally weak, and much better in CVS, I just
grabbed the whole lot from CVS.

> Would you file bugs in Debian for me? ...

I will try to find the time.

Duncan.

I thought it doesn't make much sence, because everybody over there was
(and still) saying that you shall stay away from using gcc-ada due to
its pre-alpha quality.

Good! Thank you for making such a usefull job!


Guys, i can only bow my head in sorrow ...
I am in a sense threw it away (gcc-ada) ... But if the time permit,
i'll install it once again at week-end.

I don't. I am using gcc 3.5 for some time now and I am quite happy.
Especialy the imporved project manager becomes the killer feature here.
With 3.15p I never got dll suport working - with 3.5 dlls works like a
charm.

Also 3.5 comes with a host of helpfull new warnings.

And if I do find a problem I file a bug report.

Hi Claire,

You can get the GNAT distributions from my website (http://www.adaworld.com)
in the related links section.

A download link section would do better for a beginner to visit. 
Otherwise, some of them may get frustrated searching for the download 
link in the related links. :)

I still notice Ada is typed as ADA. This could mislead beginners too.

Cheers, :)

That depends on what the user wants. If they just want to download
GNAT, the nyu site is better (easier to get straight to what they
want). If they want more general information about GNAT, including
other related tools, the act-europe site is better.

You're probably right.  It's just I've always downloaded mine from nyu so
that's where I think of first.

the GCC toolchain is available under cygwin IIRC, so GNAT should also be 
since it's now an integral part of GCC.

Nowhere, AFAIK there is no Ada compiler based on Cygwin. GNAT is based on
MingW32.

Stop by the Home of PCADA.  You can choose from IntegrAda, Visual Ada,
Janus/Ada, or ActivAda.  We also have a complete selection of
language-sensitive tools, libraries, and design & documentation tools that
allow you to write interchangeable source code between PC compilers.

IntegrAda/386 lets you target small or medium model 16-bit or large 32-bit
applications with the same development and the same source code.  Just set
the target with a simple menu choice.

Stop by and pick up a DEMO Disk from our WEB Site at
"http://www.pcada.com."

Could you guys stop sending ads several times a week on this group ?
This is turning into SPAM posting, which is not pleasant to see for
usual c.l.a readers. If you want to raise the reputation of your

A freeware GNU Ada 95 compiler for DOS protected mode (DPMI) programming
using DJGPP is available at cs.nyu.edu/pub/gnat.  Download the GW-GNAT
EZ2LOAD distribution having the AdaCAPS IDE.  Additionally, there is a
freeware development system called AdaSAGE that has alot of DOS specific
source code located at http://sageftp.inel.gov/sage/homepage.html

If you are accustomed to Borland's textual user interface for DOS users
called Turbo Vision then check out:
  Turbo Vision for DJGPP
  http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/~rho/tvision.html

And there is the comp.os.msdos.djgpp newsgroup.

Good so far.

>http://www.jumbo.com/prog/dos/ada/

I just checked this site and they seem to have completely garbled
the filename structure for both GNAT and GW-Ada/Ed. Worse, GNAT 3.05
has been available since June but this site is still providing
GNAT 3.04.

PLease don;t recommend this site. They seem to have NOTHING that's
not available from NYU (GNAT) or PAL (GNAT and other stuff). And 
NYU and PAL don;t make you wait for the ads to download!

As I recall, this is not an IDE but a binding to the Turbo Vision
libraries. I tried checking this site but couldn;t get in.

The Borland textual IDE is provided by AdaCAPS, the editor
that comes with ez2load (see above).

FTP to cs.nyu.edu.  In pub/gnat you will find GNAT binaries for most
platforms of interest (including Win/95/NT).  The source is also there
if you are so interested.  GNAT is the "Gnu Ada95 Compiler", utilizes
the same backend as other GNU compilers (GCC) and is all around an
excellent compiler.

While you are there, you can pick up the emacs Ada mode which also works
extremely well.  May as well pick up the Ada aware (GNAT) GDB debugger
too.

Hello,

For a freeware Ada 95 compiler system, sources, editors and utilities:
  ftp://cs.nyu.edu/pub/gnat
(The EZ2LOAD distribution provides editors for DOS or Windows v3.1.)

To get the FAQ's and links to most everywhere else about Ada, see:
  Home of the Brave Ada Programmers (HBAP)
  http://lglwww.epfl.ch/Ada/

And lastly, there are several books to help learn about Ada 95.  The
freeware Ada 95 Rationale is a big help.  The freeware Ada 95 Reference
Manual is useful too.  Also I use "Ada as a Second Language" by Norman
Cohen (price:~ $35).

 Cohen, Norman H.  Ada as a Second Language, 2nd ed.  McGraw-Hill,
   1996. 1133 pp. (ISBN: 0-07-011607-5)
 See http://www.research.ibm.com/people/n/ncohen/a3sl.html

Mike Feldman distributes source code examples from his newly released 
books.  I found them by the EZ2LOAD distribution of GNAT v3.05 for DPMI. 
The DPMI version works under DOS, Windows v3.1, or OS/2 in a DOS session.

ftp://ftp.gwu.edu/pub/ada/ez2load

or via NYU or PAL or their mirrors.

Nice book plugs, too! A couple of details should be fixed, though:

I'd also like to put in another plug for the new web site,

Short answer: check out GNAT and "ez2load".  First, get a web browser.
Then, for GNAT, take a look at the GNAT Project Home Page at
"http://cs.nyu.edu/cs/projects/gnat/".

"ez2load" is an easy-to-load prepackaged version of GNAT + editors
for IBM-compatible PCs running MS-DOS or Microsoft Windows 3.1/95/NT.
You can find more information about "ez2load" by going to
"http://lglwww.epfl.ch/Ada/Resources/Compilers/Compilers.html", selecting
"Free Compilers", then selecting "ez2load".  The actual ez2load package
is at "ftp://ftp.gwu.edu/pub/ada/ez2load/".

If you're learning Ada, take a look at my Ada tutorial, Lovelace, at:
  "http://lglwww.epfl.ch/Ada/Tutorials/Lovelace/lovelace.htm".
It includes references to all of those things, and much more.

Finally, for general Ada information, take a look at the newsgroup FAQs
and the various Ada web servers. One of them is HBAP, at:
  "http://lglwww.epfl.ch/Ada/"

ADA compiler

["Mike Schofield"]

Apologies if this a FAQ - I'm enquiring for a colleague - and I'm no 
language expert.

Can anyone recommend a supplier for a (reasonably priced) ADA compiler 
for use with 68000 hardware and VME? 
Need a robust (validated?) version - for safety-related applications.

TIA,

Mike.

I don't believe there are any '(reasonably priced)' for 'safety-related 
applications'.  Safety critical compilers will be expensive.  Prices I 
believe run about $30,000 - $60,000.  If you friend has web access tell 
them to check out http://www.acm.org/sigada/vendors/vendors.html, if 
not, some of the companies to try are Rational, Thomson, Green Hills, 
and DDC-I.  A more complete list is at the SigAda site.

Hey, I'm a newbie to ADA, and I kinda like it.  I would really like to get a
good compiler.  I take that back.  I can write a program in any editor, I would
just like a reliable compiler that will make .EXE files on a DOS based system. 
If any of you can help, I would much appreciate it.  I'm sure that you can find
my E-mail address.  Thanks.

The Janus Ada 80x86 Compiler from R.R. Software is cheap and satisfactory
for learning Ada.  It currently lists for around $99 (US) from The
Programmer's Shop (U.S. phone: 800-421-8006 or 617-749-2018).  If your 
looking for a site license or more capable products, you can talk to R.R.
Software Inc. directly at 1-800-722-3248.  Their mailing address is P.O.
Box 1512, Madison, WI 53701.

This cheapie compiler comes with some libraries, a (so far) not so useful
editor-environment, a turtorial, a make tool, its own special linker, and a
simple library manager.  It runs on and will generate code for PC-Clones.
John says check it out.
