The GNAT RM gives a complete description of GNAT specific
features which can be used by programmers to improve the
efficiency of their Ada programs. It is thus writen for users of the
compiler.

   On the contrary, my book gives a description of the current
implementation of the Ada Run-Time (how it uses the POSIX
services to implement the Ada semantics). This is a complete
different point of view which is important for teaching on
systems programming (specially real-time concepts) and
compilers.
