style enforcer

style enforcer

[Ian Thomson]

I'm re-writing some of the language-defined system libraries.  GNAT forces style
checks on the re-written libraries.  I'm fed up with getting hundreds of petty
style errors.

There must be a simple tool around to reformat source code to comply with all
the rules in style.adb.  I just can't find it in the Public Ada Library. Any
suggestions? (running under Linux)

cheers

Perhaps the emacs ada-mode (http://ada.eu.org/ada-mode/) will help? I
doubt it will be perfect, though ..

You have the GNAT sources; you can always disable the style checks.
Of course, this doesn't do much good if you want to distribute your
re-written libraries to other GNAT users.
