Markus says

<<No, this was quoted from the GNAT RM, not the Ada RM. The sentence
"Followed ..." refers to what GNAT does, although the first sentence
seems to be copied from the Ada RM. Annex C of the GNAT RM is a
very minimalistic approach of writing this annex. For most sections,
it just says "Followed." without any further discussion of how the
implementors did it. Some more information about for which targets
GNAT supports Ada handeled interrupts would have been been nice.
The annex C of the GNAT RM reads very much like a text that has
been written for the sole purpose of fulfilling the standard by the
letter.

GNAT *does* implement interrupts on all targets, it maps signals to
interrupts, so the GNAT reference manual is correct! We have lots of
customers using interrupts on a wide variety of systems.
