There is no "standard" interface to every editor on the planet, so this would be a hopeless goal. 2) A compiler like GNAT provides a good deal of programming interface (such as ASIS) so that if you were so inclined, you could integrate it to your favorite editor with your own glue code - presuming, of course, that your editor of choice had the capabilities you need to invoke some code & utilize the results. I don't think its practical to ask of a language and IDE that it somehow connect to any given other piece of software anywhere. I don't know of any IDE that could achieve that goal.
