Re: Suggestion for gnatstub

It doesn't have to work 100% of the time. Just often enough that it is
useful in saving someone from having to generate lots of stuff by hand.
Remember that the goal is not to produce a working, correct program, but to
produce something that saves the developer some time in the process of
getting to that working, correct program. If it works on 70% of the
situations and I've got to go in and fix a compiler error on the other 30%,
I still got 70% of my work done for me and probably 90% of the remaining 30%
of the work done on the stuff I have to modify. That's not a bad deal, is
it?
