If I use gcc directly, instead of GPL GNAT 2009 edition, would I be losing any features? I am a bit confused why there are different GNAT versions around. The reason if would prefer gcc is that gcc is more likely to be installed on all Linux systems than GNAT itself, so if someone wants to compile the code, they would not have to download GNAT first, or is my thinking wrong on this? If I were to develope Ada code in GNAT, then may be it will not compile with gcc due to some features not being the same? I need to catch up on Ada, been a while... I'll look at GTK for the GUI. --Nasser
