Network Applications in Ada 95 Jörg Kienzle

This document describes an approach to support network applications, that is client-server applications with a dynamic number of short-lived clients, within the original Ada 95 distributed systems model. The conformance of this concept with the Ada Standard is verified. An implementation based on GLADE, the implementation for the GNAT compiler of Annex E of the Ada Reference Manual, is presente...

ASIS for GNAT: From the Prototype to the Full Implementation

This article is about the implementation of the Ada Semantic Interface Specification (ASIS) for the GNAT Ada 95 compilation system (ASIS-forGNAT). It discusses implementation problems and their solutions. It explains the interaction of ASIS-for-GNAT with GNAT and its internal data structures. Finally, it describes the current state of ASIS-for-GNAT.

Real-Time Programming with GNAT: Specialised Kernels versus POSIX Threads1

The fact that most of the GNAT ports are based on non real-time operating systems leads to a reduced usability for developing real-time systems. Otherwise, existing ports over real-time operating systems are excesively complex, since GNAT uses only a reduced set of their functionality, and with a very specific semantic. This paper describes the implementation of a low-level tasking support for ...
