Annex E - distributed systems - is it supported ?

Annex E - distributed systems - is it supported ?

[Yoav Tzruya]

I'm interested in learning more about this annex and have some questions
:

1. does the gnat stub generator for this annex supports the dynamic
binding - that is calls to remote subprograms identifed by accesses not
known at compile time .
2. does tha gnat stub generator supports that use of RACW types
completely (that is - remote access to class wide types).

I ask these questions cause as far as I could see it only generates
stubs that are compatible with static remote calls.

(I ask these questions after reading the 'Design Document Implementation
of Distributed Systems Annex of Ada9X in GNAT' by Kermarrec, Pautet and
Schonberg )

can anyone help me out with this ?

Try looking at the latest descriptions of this (from a users point of
view) in GLADE.  See cs.nyu.ed pub/gnat/glade.
