I would like my compiler not to find errors. I just want my compiler to be _capable_ of finding errors, on the distant chance there were any.

What would you like the word "continue" to mean ? If "continue" means something in another language with which you are familiar, please do not assume that we all know that language. It might actually mean different things in different languages. I see from ... That meaning is implicit in Ada, or you can use the statement "null;" if you are being compensated on a per-line basis :-) ... - Thurs, Oct 28 2004 3:38 am 5 messages, 5 authors http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.ada/browse_thread/thread/bccad95d5436eaf8 next_period = start + n*period; versus next_period = next_period+period; - all new ---------------------------------- ... life. A 1 msec jitter on start time may be OK in one case but completely unacceptable in another. I know one system with a 50 usec window (every 12.5 msec) to receive a message otherwise it will go into "safe mode" and take several minutes to recover. We don't even TRY to feed that data with a software interrupt handler - we set up the transfer in advance and use a hardware trigger to send the data. In the case of missing a deadline, the action still should be application specific. --Mark ... - Thurs, Oct 28 2004 6:37 am 1 message, 1 author http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.ada/browse_thread/thread/47cd14062de43094 visibility of private incomplete types - 3 new ---------------------------------- hello, is GNAT correct in compiling the following program without complaints?

The instructions suggest compiling and linking sketch using the command gnatmake sketch. The linking phase fails on the command line option -lwinmm. I get a message saying .. ld: cannot open -lwinmm: No such file or directory. Other purely text based programs compile just fine with my current installation, so its something to do with Jewl. I beleive I'm running gnat 3.15, and the gcc part reports its own vesion as 2.8.1.

In this case an End_Error exception is raised. Question: when the End_Error exception occurs, is anything known about the value of the parameters to Get_Line? Does the procedure still return meaningful values? I suspect it is compiler dependent, since I didn't manage to find any explanation in the LRM.

Besides JGNAT, which works well on most PDA's (the trick is to get a JVM :- ) there now is MGNAT for PDA's as well. There will be a tutorial by Martin Carlisle in the next SigAda conference in Atlanta. I have already successfully ported (well copied and compiled :-) some applications on the iPAQ. It integrates even into the Visual Studio .Net so you can debug the Ada code as well on the emulated PDA. For this, MGNAT generates debug info into the .IL files There should be an official release soon ... - Fri, Oct 29 2004 12:12 am 1 message, 1 author http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.ada/browse_thread/thread/9bb2f8291201ed9f ======================================================================= You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "comp.lang.ada". comp.lang.ada http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.ada Change your subscription type & other preferences: * click http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.ada/subscribe Report abuse: * send email explaining the problem to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: * click http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.ada/subscribe ======================================================================= Google Groups: http://groups-beta.google.com
