These validations apply to: GNAT 4.00 SPARCstation 5 under Solaris 2.5.1 GNAT 4.00 SGI Power Indigo2 under IRIX 6.2 GNAT 4.00 SGI O2 under IRIX 6.3 These are the first validations from any vendor that cover 100% of applicable tests in not only the core language, but also in all the special annexes. The total number of unsupported tests is zero in all categories. GNAT is the only Ada 95 technology that fully supports all aspects of the Ada 95 language as defined in the international standard. It is of particular note that GNAT fully supports the information systems annex of the standard, and is the only Ada 95 compiler available which does so. The Information Systems Annex provides COBOL-like facilities for use in financial applications and means that GNAT is an attractive technology for reengineering of legacy applications in COBOL. GNAT is also the only Ada 95 capability that supports the Distributed Systems Annex of the Ada 95 standard. For the first time, this provides distribution capability integrated into a general-purpose language, making Ada 95, as implemented by GNAT, an attractive candidate for generating distributed applications, including client-server systems. GNAT is used by a large community of Ada 95 programmers throughout the world, and has been used for major Ada 95 applications in both commercial and government applications. Ada Core Technologies can offer high-quality support for these and many other versions of GNAT. For information on obtaining these validated compilers, please contact Ada Core Technologies.
