This seems like general interest. I don't know why they don't mail it to the mailing list themselves... -- Karl -- Date: Fri, 10 Nov 89 17:48:43 EST From: SYSTEMS Administrator (AJPO.SEI.CMU.EDU) <haven!ajpo.sei.cmu.edu!action> Subject: Update on validatiing Ada compilers ------- Blind-Carbon-Copy To: action Subject: Update on validatiing Ada compilers Date: Fri, 10 Nov 89 17:48:43 EST From: SYSTEMS Administrator (AJPO.SEI.CMU.EDU) <action> Subject: Update on validating Ada compilers This is an update on the process and test suite for validating Ada compilers: Version 1.11 of the Ada Compiler Validation Capability (ACVC 1.11), which was publicly released in July 1989, will become the current version on 1 December 1989 without a second release. In other words, there will be no re-release of the suite with changes; a list of tests that have been challenged successfully already and withdrawn has been provided to the Ada Validation Facilities (AVFs). To compensate for the delayed release of ACVC 1.11, implementers will be allowed to use ACVC 1.10 until 31 January 1990. There will be no change in the common expiration date of 1 December 1990 for certificates that are awarded for validations under ACVC 1.10. This means two things: One, the ACVC 1.11 that was released this summer as a preliminary version is now officially THE test suite for Ada compilers to pass in order to be validated. Two, compilers can continue to be validated under test suite ACVC 1.10 until 31 January 1990. However, all certificates issued for passing the ACVC 1.10 will expire 1 December 1990. If you have any questions about this statement, please call me or Michele Kee at (202) 694-0210, or contact your local AVF. Sincerely, John P.
