With respect to openVMS, Digital has chosen ACT to supply a version of GNAT for OpenVMS, and ACT is carrying that port out under contract to Digital. In accordance with the general shift to acquisition of third party software, this will remain an ACT supported product, rather than an official Digital product, but it will be subject to standard Digital qualification procedures including: a) Digital Field Testing (now in progress) b) 100% passage of the DEC Ada test suite In addition this version of GNAT will be highly compatible with the DEC Ada 83 product including a) DEC Ada 83 additions to package System b) Data formats and layouts c) DEC Ada 83 pragmas and attributes (including AST_Entry) d) DEC Ada 83 library packages (including Starlet) The current status is that the compiler is in good shape, and is very close to 100% full ACVC compliance, as well as executing a lot of user code correctly (one of our field test sites has already reported in that they have compiled all their code and run it without difficulties). There is more work to be done on tools and packaging, and an official release of the validated product will probably occur at the end of the second quarter. However, we can provide and support versions of the compiler in its current state at the current time, with the understanding of updating to the official released version as soon as it is available. Send email to sales@gnat.com for further details, or to info@gnat.com for a copy of our electronic brochure (which does not yet mention this version, since it is new) Robert Dewar President Ada Core Technologies ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

Please, *please* identify the supported host platforms when discussing this port! Unless something is changed, OpenVMS refers to implementations on _both_ VAX and Alpha architectures, but this port is only for Alpha! -- LMTAS - The Fighter Enterprise - "Our Brand Means Quality" For job listings, other info: http://www.lmtas.com or http://www.lmco.com ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

So far no one has been interested in funding a Vax port, though it is certainly technically feasible, and we are gathering information on anyone who might be interested in commercial support for a Vax port if one existed. So if you are interested in commercial support for a Vax port of GNAT (which like the AXP port would be highly DEC Ada compatible), please send email to sales@gnat.com and let us know.
