Yes. That way, you can keep different sets of compiled code around; one with "debug" options, one with "release" options, one compiled with ObjectAda, one with GNAT, one with the real-time target cross compiler. On the other hand, "normal" is whatever your customer thinks it is :). > I think this approach is viable, as long as we can explain to them > what needs to be done. Having your tool build the tree files it needs simplifies things a lot. In particular, you can use ASIS-for-GNAT even when your customer is not using GNAT. Hmm, unless compiling everything to get the tree files takes "too long". -- -- Stephe
