<< This is unfortunate, IMO. Do you think that it would be
prohibitively difficult to implement the library in standard Ada 95? I've
started working on my Ada pattern matching library, which is based on a
Perl style regexp matcher, but I'd drop it if I knew that something better
was on the way. Here "better" also means "portable".>>
Since we are only interested in it working with GNAT, as efficiently
as possible, this is not unfortunate from our point of view. Yes it
would be possible to do a portable version, but it would be annoyingly
limited (by not allowing the use of nested functions), and the syntax
would not be nearly so neat.
This implementation will of course be portable between all implementations
of GNAT! It will be GPL'ed code, so you can certainly use it as a starting
point for a more standard version (it's about 10,000 lines of code in all
including comments).
