A while back I made an experimental release of gnatgcc 3.3 for Windows
available through www.mingw.org. Meanwhile there have been some further
improvements (bringing the number of AVCS failures down to 47). However
I did not see any bug reports, so I wonder if there is any interest in
newer releases...
gr.
Jerry.

Sure there is. It is worse to lack support of something, so someone could
think Ada is not a choice for him and use decreases.

About my type of interest (I think not only mine): currently the only reasons
which would cause me to switch to a newer version of GNAT than 3.14p:
1. Bugs found in old releases.
2. Improved speed of programs and speed of compilation, decreased
executable size.
3. Extensions in GNAT.* library.
4. Better tools and docs provided with the compiler.
5. New good pragmas etc.
It means that even having the possibility to download a never version of
GNAT, I will do it only before releasing some Ada software, not in the
meantime. So I have interest but not now.
Also we need some ASIS programs, where AFAIK gcc 3.x does yet not
support ASIS.

I have been using the GNAT version from mingw.org...
Just have not hit any bugs yet. (Code I am working on with this is all
fairly straight forward stuff though
so I am not hitting any edge cases of the compiler yet)...
In any case, I am interested in new releases if for no other reason than to
stay current with
others working on the code on different platforms.

I have used it a little recently. Didn't hit any bugs (yet). So, there's
interest...
