Hash table

[David Trudgett <wpower@zeta.org.au.nospamplease>]

I'm looking for a Free Software Ada95 container library, or in
particular, a hash table (or associative list).

I noticed that Ada 2005 may include a standard Ada.Containers library,
but is there a working prototype of this available now?

A bit of searching found the ASL (Ada Structured Library --
http://sourceforge.net/projects/adasl), which hasn't had a new release
since 2001 (which means it must be perfect ;-)). Should I use ASL, and
if I do, will it be completely different from the proposed
Ada.Containers standard?

I'm using Gnat (3.15p) on Debian Linux.

Thanks.

David

Most of the major ills of the world have been caused by well-meaning
people who ignored the principle of individual freedom, except as
applied to themselves, and who were obsessed with fanatical zeal to
improve the lot of mankind-in-the-mass through some pet formula of
their own. The harm done by ordinary criminals, murderers, gangsters,
and thieves is negligible in comparison with the agony inflicted upon
human beings by the professional do-gooders, who attempt to set
themselves up as gods on earth and who would ruthlessly force their
views on all others - with the abiding assurance that the end
justifies the means.
