From sdl@herbrand.Inference.Com (Daniel Lee): > 2. math library > Most Ada compilers come with a math library. They are usually very similar, > but slightly different because there exists no standard for it. At Tri-Ada '89, Sholom Cohen told me that the Numerics Working group took about eight years to come up with a standard math package, and that the Ada Run-Time Environment Working Group also required about eight years to come up with a standard run-time environment package. These should make it into Ada 9X, and should take care of some of the remaining portability problems. Apparently there is quite a lot of work involved in coming up with good solutions to these problems, but progress is being made on these very important issues. Bill Wolfe, wtwolfe@hubcap.clemson.edu
