Isn't a 3.15 (of some sort) already used by companies? *I* think so. If you mean a public release, I doubt we will see one but you never know. Act seem to be concentrating on the gcc 3.xx integration and probably would rather be doing that and keeping their customers happy than prepping' a public release of 3.15 which would soon become outdated by the 3.xx effort (if they prepared a 3.15p then they'd likely have to divert work from 3.xx and it would hold things up on that front...). Still it's a weird world and you never can be sure of anything. > Can someone enlighten me as to how future GNAT releases > and GCC release will relate to one another Aren't they going to be the same? I thought that once integration was complete, gcc and gnat would live together, and act wouldn't be inclined to make special public releases, just work on the gcc tree (and their customers needs). Would it make any sense to do otherwise? > Better still, is there a web page or other resource which > discusses the integration of GNAT into GCC etc ? Unfortunately not really! I've been trying to find out how things are going, but there is no progress summary *publicly available* and ACT seem to work away at it and then drop things into gcc 3.xx in 'big merges', so we only see any fixes to incompatibilities with the existing incorporated gnat sources and gcc quickly and big differences less frequently.
