Not precisely. I'm not speaking for ACT, but what I remember of previous discussions, and can extrapolate from current behavior, is that ACT will continue to make "internal, customer" releases of GNAT. They will also continue to dump changes into the gcc tree. There will not necessarily be synchronized releases; there is no need. But in general, the gcc tree will track the GNAT releases. I would not be surprised to see lead/lag times of a year, though (in either direction). > > Better still, is there a web page or other resource which > > discusses the integration of GNAT into GCC etc ? apparently the gcc developer mailing list is where this is mostly discussed. I have not tried to wade thru it. -- -- Stephe
