Dynamic functions under Ada

Dynamic functions under Ada

[Poul-Erik Andreasen]

Hej

I am in need for som simple dynamic functions, therefore i am in need 
for a Ada interface to the simplest possible scripting machine or maybe
just at math evalution-system. I would like to know if anyone have a 
good idea. It is of some importense that the system is fast.

kindly

I have Ada bindings for GUILE (a Scheme interpreter) at
http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/bdbryant/guile-for-ada/index.html

The bindings are somewhat old, so if you try it and get linkage
problems with your version of GUILE, drop me a line and I'll send you
a "works for me" update that isn't quite ready for release.

http://www.adapower.com/index.php?Command=Class&ClassID=Applications&CID=258

With a litle rewriting it fine for my needs

Thanks anyway.

Of course the only problem with that calculator example is that you can not 
legally do anything with it.

It is marked with
Copyright (C) 1999 by Eugene Nonko, cm@liceum.secna.ru
(and of course at least in the US even if it were not marked it would be 
covered).

Since there is no specific license grant it is not clear that we should even 
read it without our
eyes burning out.

It is given as a example so lets just say that i will be inspired by it, 
to write my own solution, witch  will be quite defferent :-)

Relax.

Just write to Eugene and get his okay to do whatever it is you want with
this calculator.  DTraq (www.mckae.com/dtraq.html) uses some other software
he wrote and he freely gave me his okay to use that.

As a Russian, he may not be fully aware of the copyright paranoia that the
DMCA, SCO, the RIAA, and that lot are trying to foist on the US.

Well of course I was being somewhat dramatic in my response (mostly for fun) 
but really this has
little to do with the DCMA, SCO or RIAA. When someone goes to the trouble
to stick a copyright statement on their code (even though not required in 
US) I would never presume
that it can be usedfor anything "real". The code is copyrighted plain and 
simple. No need to look to
blame SCO, DCMA, the Patriot Act or any other political hot topic to find a 
potential problem.

Other possibilities include

http://www.cyberdanx.co.uk/ada95/lua.html

Or perhaps (not looked at this at all) look at the python support integrated 
into GPS to see if you can make use of that.
