I don't know whether it was done formally or not; I wasn't involved with that. In any case, it is irrelevant to the existence of the ACAA, operated under the requirements of an ISO standard, for performing conformity assessment of Ada compilers. Or do you want to deny that I actually exist, that the ACAA and its websites, test suites, and authorized laboratories, exists? You can argue about the value of such testing (an argument that I'll sit out), but that's a different subject. Randy.
