I agree with the need, and the Booch Components are probably the best available starting point. My first thought was to make this exact same post. However, the current implementation of Booch has not really been designed with real-time needs in mind. For instance, many of the "bounded" structures, which one would naievely assume don't perform dynamic allocations, do in fact perform dynamic allocations, sometimes even during lookups. The STL does seem to have been designed with a fair bit of thought into being implementable in real-time environements (using the appropriate structures of course). I'd like to see at least that same level of thought go into anything which we would enshrine into the Ada standard. I don't mean to rag on the current Booch maintainer. We all should be thankful that someone signed up to do the job, and he has been doing a good one. --- T.E.D. homepage - http://www.telepath.com/dennison/Ted/TED.html No trees were killed in the sending of this message.
