Hello,
A simple question: Is it possible to make linux kernel modules in Ada? I
would assume some special bindings are needed? Has anyone made them yet?
Thanks,
Brad

I have spent some time thinking about this. Some work would have to
be done to map the GNAT run-time stuff into the Linux kernel. This is
stuff that GNAT requires from the compiler's point of view. It is not
just a matter of the right bindings to the kernel stuff.
I'm not sure how much work it would be, but it wouldn't be impossible
to do.
