Correct. Not shared. I got GNAT to work by: - booting into Win XP - exporting the ACT registry settings (which contained references to C:) - saving the reg-file - booting into Win 2003 - importing the reg-file into 2003 registry (on E:) - inserting C:\GNAT ... at the beginning of the path variable I was then just curious whether my manual changes to the environment were similar to what you get when you install GNAT in another directory than the default (C:\GNAT...). Case closed, thanks to all.

Oooh ... thank you :-)) Now, I can at least compile & run most of the samples :-) I guess I'll experiment a bit with GWindows now, before I try to find out how to have that A# compiler create exes which don't throw an exception upon start-up ...

FBI SADISTS could possibly have installed a transponder chip in my body like Ethan did to Nyah in Mission Impossible 2.

As both you and Dimitry observed, I rather neglected to toss in the class parameter. I should have put in an example with a base class operation that looked like: procedure Some_Op (The_Thing : in out Some_ Tagged_Type'Class) is abstract ; Then the intent was to discuss the need to have child operations with different parameter profiles: procedure Some_Op ( The_Thing : in out Some_Tagged_Type_Child1 ; Parm1 : in Integer) is abstract ; procedure Some_Op (The_Thing : in out Some_Tagged_Type_Child2 ; Parm1 : ... - Mon, Nov 1 2004 4:58 am 3 messages, 2 authors http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.ada/browse_thread/thread/6129ccd596d4814d Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) Ada Algorithm - all new ---------------------------------- ... Sorry. To be brief: 1. Optimization of data via generics was avoided. All data is 32-bits. The rationale is: a. If size optimized and packed, more instructions are required ... data changes, and is invariant to any application. 3. The generics: a. Handles transmission of data to/from cell datum fields. b. Creates a free list (an array of cells) in the generic body. c. At instantiation, populate the free list. d. Provide an interface to the List Manager and some application ... At the end, the generic functions are all... - Mon, Nov 1 2004 8:17 am 1 message, 1 author http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.ada/browse_thread/thread/4246083efae0e43b Why these "Drop" parameters? - all new ---------------------------------- Yes, I was afraid that it would get lost, so I sent it myself after noting that you hadn't done so. ...

Of course, if you want to search all known Ada sites, including AdaPower (and avoid all of the non-Ada stuff that pops up on general search engines), you can use the Ada-wide search engine at http://www.adaic.com/site/ wide-search.html.

According to this you can use Xcode: http://pyrite.truman.edu/~ millerj/AdaonOSX/ See also macada.org But I'd also love to see the actuality of this confirmed by a seasoned "Ada on Mac" person in this group. Me I'm just "switching". I'm waiting for the new iBook 12" at 1.2GHz with Airport ( wireless g). It's expected in 3 weeks in Portugal.

The results are inconsistent and I don't believe that both sets of errors can be correct. Before I scream and holler, I wonder if there are wiser heads who can provide insight into which (if any) compiler version is incorrect. The summary is that a pointer to a definite type and a pointer to an indefinite typed value have different constraints, detected and reported. I would assume that compliant... - Tues, Nov 2 2004 11:32 am 2 messages, 2 authors http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.ada/browse_thread/thread/29c1212970bb6877 Two generic families: I'm confused by error msg - 5 new ---------------------------------- I'm puzzled by an Ada error. The error arises in the attached program, which uses two different (parent-child) pairs of generic packages. And the error seems to indicate a hard-for-me-to-understand issue of visibility. The first two packages (numeric_io and it's child *.matrix_io) do some IO on vectors and matrices of floating numbers. Just about like the new Ada.Numerics.Generic_ Real_Arrays.Generic_IO. Two more packages (name_io and its child *.matrix_ name_io) add services that parse name-directed input for... - Tues, Nov 2 2004 9:40 pm 5 messages, 4 authors http://groups-beta.google.com/group/comp.lang.ada/browse_thread/thread/3039151bd3ba684d Distributed compiles? - 2 new ---------------------------------- ...
