Perhaps there's a misunderstanding here. We had a case where a
new release of a compiler fixed one problem but instruced a new one. The
symptom of the new problem was a compiler crash on legal source code.
Clearly in that case the new compiler, having crashed, won't generate
ASIS stuff, and thus can't be used with AdaBrowse. Using the old compiler
is undesirable because a) it had a (different) problem that forced a special
contorted version of our source code, and b) I don't know of any way
to switch easily between two versions of Gnat on one machine.
Demanding that something completely compile with a possibly broken
compiler seems excessive when all you really want is a prettification of
the public part of some specs and some fancy cross-refererencing info.
