The company I was working for last year was using SunAda. Each time we
had to call the hotline because of a compiler bug, the call has been
redirected directly to Rational. So, if you want not to loose 1 day
each time you find a bug, I'd suggest you buy the compiler directly
from Rational.
During the whole year (from 95/09 to 96/08), I've compiled the same
code on SunAda, Thomsoft and GNAT compilers. While SunAda was probably
the best compiler at the beginning, GNAT has been chosen to go on
because of the stability of the 3.05 release, even for Ada83 code.
AFAIK, GNAT is not validated yet for Sun because noone paid for
it. You should contact support@gnat.com (right address ?) to get more
information about the validation process.
Hope this helps.
Sam
