So for example ZFP should allow us to create ope= rating system using Ada. Basically ZFP is a tiny runtime library, that impl= ements only compiler's intrinsics and doesn't rely on any services that are= provided by operating system. But where to get ZFP? GNAT GPL provides onl= y default runtime library (profile). I've googled out that some people rein= vent a tiny subset of ZFP in order to make their OS experiments, like it is= done here: https://github.com/Lucretia/tamp... So is there any ZFP availab= le and where to get it, or I have to reimplement it myself?
