Yes. I did not say there is not standard POSIX Ada, I instead said POSIX=
  =

Ada is not part of the Ada standard.

GNAT specific, that's a big enough point (I will have to check it : I'm =
 =

also afraid this may make use of some GNAT internals). As Jean-Pierre  =

underlined in a message in this same thread, maintaining a standard is n=
ot  =

the same as adding a vendor specific feature when this pleased this vend=
or  =

or single person. GNAT.Sockets, is vendor specific. I don't want the use=
  =

of Sockets in Ada source, to be an advertising for GNAT, I would prefer =
it  =

to be an advertising for Ada as a language (while the reason is not abou=
t  =

advertising, but about a pressing requirement in the real world), be it =
 =

GNAT (which I still enjoy, of course), Aonix, Janus, and others. If you =
 =

use GNAT specific stuff, this is not Ada anymore, this GNAT (there is no=
  =

legitimate way to reduce Ada to GNAT, whatever how much good GNAT is).
