No, it's not just you - I have asked a senior Praxis person before if they had plans for a C++ version and they told they had spent plenty time thinking about how one could achieve something worthwhile for C++ and similar to SPARK but they just couldn't think of anything! Doesn't prove that such a thing could be done, of course, but they are the people in the best position to attempt such a thing! That was also ~2001 - things may have changed! Cheers -- Martin p.s. I didn't want to name names! If the Praxis person wants to verify this conversation from Ada-Europe in Belgium they are free to do so! :-)
