Hello!
I am in the very early stages of looking at writing a Linux kernel
module in ada for a University project. I have looked around and it
seems to be possible, if tricky.
The Big Online Book of Linux Ada Programming
(http://www.vaxxine.com/pegasoft/homes/16.html) has some information,
and I have a test module written based on the example code there.
Any module would need to avoid anything which used the ada runtime.
There are references to pragma no_run_time but I have found that as
long as I stear clear of using anything that requres the runtime there
is no problem even without the pragma.
However I would quite like to use exceptions and allocate veriables
from the heap. The BOBOLAP states:
"If you have the time, you can always copy some of the standard Ada
packages to a separate directory and compile them into your GNORT
project, effectively creating your own small, custom run-time system."
I have had a play around trying to do this, but am somewhat stumbling
in the dark. Does anybody have any pointers to how I go about this?
Or indeed any example ADA linux module code!
Thanks
Rohan
