Yes, GNAT is, AFAIK, the only implementation of Ada 12. There have been no announcements here of any other implementations. If you want portability among compiler vendors, Ada 12 is not the way to go. > I see a huge list of Ada 95 implementations here: > > http://www.ada-auth.org/cpl/lists/CPLbase.html Not long after the publication of the 95 standard, all vendors had implementations. A similar amount of time after the publication of the 07 standard, about half of the vendors had implementations (and many who didn't still don't). Now, nearing 3 yrs after the publication of the 12 standard, only 1 vendor has an implementation. -- Jeff Carter "C's solution to this [variable-sized array parameters] has real problems, and people who are complaining about safety definitely have a point."
