Anybody using Adabroker with GNAT 3.3?

Anybody using Adabroker with GNAT 3.3?

[Bruce Conroy]

I installed Adabroker on my Debian system using 
gnat 3.14p, and got the examples to work.

I then tried to install it on Fedora Core 2 using
gnat 3.3.3-7.

First the ./configure step failed, saying that
gnat 3.3.3-7 was less than gnat 3.12, so I had
to upgrade.

I edited the configure script to bypass the test
so the configure was successful, but the make step
failed with a bunch of errors like the following:

../../idlac/idlac ./File.idl
File.idl:0:15 Error: An idl file name should have a ".idl" extension.
<built-in>:0:19 Error: An idl file name should have a ".idl" extension.
 2 error(s) during parsing.

There hasn't been a mention of it for several years, so
I'm asking if it is still in use.

AdaBroker is no longer maintained, its successor is PolyORB:

Hope this helps,

Thanks. It does help some. There are 2 problems.

1) it looks like a more heavyweight solution than I
need, and

2) it also gives nonsenseical error messages when I
try to install it. The fragment

                       declare
                           Ok : constant Boolean
                             := Add_Identifier (Result, Get_Token_String);
                           pragma Warnings (Off);
                           pragma Unreferenced (Ok);
                           pragma Warnings (On);
                           --  here, the addentifier is really added only if
                           --  we're not in the case where the module name
                           --  was already defined
                        begin
                           Set_Default_Repository_Id (Result);
                           Set_Initial_Current_Prefix (Result);
                        end;

aborts the make stage with the warning Ok not referenced (when
it clearly is.)

For what I want now, I'm going back to AdaBroker and Gnat 3.14p

Or more powerful and configurable, depending on your needs ..

This is very odd, which GNAT do you use ? PolyORB builds on GCC 3.4.0
out of the box.

I thought I was up to date with 3.3.3-7. I guess I'm not.

This is bizarre code. I would delete the two Warnings pragmas

The semantics of Unreferenced changed from GNAT 3.15 to GNAT 5.01,
which is equivalent to gcc 3.3; it now means "not read". I think if
you delete the Warnings pragmas, this will compile.

always a choice.

That's not bizarre. These pragmas are their to kill warnings for old GNAT
version which does not have pragma Unreferenced implemented.
