AdaGIDE will complete library package names, and the names of operations in those packages, and will create a skeleton for named parameter association for those operations. Other IDEs will have different capabilities. GNAT 3.15p has gnatstub, which creates body skeletons for packages. It also adds a short comment to each operation. Unfortunately, that comment simply repeats the operation name, violating the basic rule that comments should not repeat what's in the code. -- Jeff Carter "Have you gone berserk?
