<-------------------> Is there anyone out there who either is, or knows of someone who could answer a few technical questions about Ada standards? What I'm really looking for is someone who is an "authority" on the subject. (If there are such people in existence) My problem is this: I have recently joined a project for the writing of an Ada compiler, and have found what I believe to be a few flaws in some of the assumptions that has been made about Ada. I brought these matters to the attention of the others involved, and now we are indecisive about a few directions to take on certain matters. So, if anyone knows (or is) someone who could help me, I'd be appreciative. -- Len Armstrong St. Joseph's University {astrovax | bpa | burdvax | allegra }!sjuvax!armstron

Do mean that certain parts of the LRM are ambiguous, or that there apear to be contridictions in it? What I think you mean is that you and the others that you are involved appear to be in diagreement as to some of the semantics of the Ada language. If you have a valid gripe or comment about the LRM then you can contact: Ada-Comment@ECLB or send mail to: Ada Joint Program Office Office of the Under Secretary of Defence Research and Engineering Washington, DC 20301 Check the Section: Postscript: Submission of Comments in the back of the LRM for more details on this.
