Please take a look at this ChangeLog which is only 10 days old: http://gcc.gnu.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/gcc/gcc/ada/ChangeLog?rev=1.683&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup Of course this is not GCC 4.0, but perhaps the newer Ada frontend can be used in GCC 4.0 with only minor modifications and who knows when 4.1 is released (and how stable it will be...). Perhaps I'll install the newest bleeding edge GCC tomorrow and see how it {doesn't work,works}. -- Tapio
