How much does that support from the US AdaCore, cost?. It seems to be a mistake to recommend paying with there being exactly one option. >You should seriously consider getting AdaCore support; it is very good >- by far the best support from any vendor I've ever had. Maybe AdaCore withholds little bits of information, eg. that MinGW C would mix with GNAT 3.15p in one *.exe if this is added: typedef double Real __attribute__ ((aligned (4))); The GNAT documents didn't mention that. For the swiftest compile times, a GCC 2.8.1 Ada would be used with GCC 3.x.x C/C++. Comments alleging that GCC is getting lessa and less able to build a correct executables, at least since maybe August 2003, is at the GMP big numbers package: http://swox.com/gmp/ So a logical is to not pay for the compiler; but what about the support ?. Are the C++ pragmas and binutils objdum, and all the rest of the tools, debugged as a reult of good service ?. -- Craig Carey
