I attended the Conference on Ada Technology last week in Atlanta. Interesting things came to my attention; for example, as I understand it, the British MoD will soon be able to validate Ada compilers. The British validation will have equal standing with the DoD validation. However, the British are developing their own ACVC... so I can see compiler X passing one but not the other. Perhaps more important, there would then be two standards, and it is possible software written under one validation would not be portable to compilers under the other validation. Comments?? -------
