Re: DEC Ada V3.3

[Rob Kirkbride <rk-comp@rk-comp.demon.co.uk>]

This is the sort of email that worries me. We have just upgraded to 3.3
in fact. We do have bits of code that interface with C and pass strings
back and forth. On todays evidence, that stuff still seems to work. We
have identified one problem that DEC have initially said was a feature.
It concerns the use of Text_Io.Put, it does not seem to flush these
until the program has finished running - even if a Text_Io.Get_Line is
done! Has anyone else spotted this - how did you fix it?

We get library corruption problems every couple of weeks generally when
we have obsoleted some base types files several times. Anyone get
similar results?
