There has been a lot of disagreement within the Ada83 community on the 'enforcability' of Chapter 13 requirements... My practical experience is that a lot of work is needed to get the portability I want in Ada83, given the current set of compilers. Maybe Ada9X will be different, but just because the LRM says something is no particular guarantee that all compilers implement it correctly. dave -- --The preceeding opinions do not necessarily reflect the opinions of --The MITRE Corporation or its sponsors. -- "A good plan violently executed -NOW- is better than a perfect plan -- next week" George Patton -- "Any damn fool can write a plan.
