Prior to this, we had not seen requests for this feature. The reason for not supporting this in the past is that on most of the target architectures we support, it would result in significantly less efficient code than power-of-2 sizes. We are investigating support for this when specifically requested via a 'Component_Size specification, so that the "default" packed array implementation will remain time efficient, while allowing for special component sizes when necessary. However, other priorities derived from more frequent customer requirements have our Ada 95 product line improving and growing in other areas. Improvements and additions include a secure memory-protected runtime for multi-level safety critical and mission critical applications, bare target runtimes, and the release of the next version of our Ada 95 embedded software development environment, AdaMULTI 2000. This engineering focus has resulted in significant improvements to the entire graphical user inteface, advances in the area of remote cross debugging (i.e. advanced multi-tasking/multi-processor debugging features), additional debugger connection strategies using serial, ethernet, JTAG, BDM and other unique interfaces required by our customers, and continued improvements in the area of optimizations across our entire family of embedded Ada95 compilers and runtimes.
