ADA 9X PROJECT
REQUEST FOR INFORMATION
In order to expedite the Ada revision process, the Ada 9X Project Office
under sponsorship by the Ada Joint Program Office has tasked the Software
Engineering Institute to perform a number of focused short-term studies.
These studies will not replace the Ada 9X Project requirements analysis but
are intended to augment and facilitate future Ada 9X activities. One of
these studies deals with Section 11.6 of the reference manual. This section
provides rules that were intended to allow increased optimization of Ada
programs but it appears that useful optimizations may have been inadvertently
prohibited, and dangerous optimizations may have been allowed. To help
complete this study, comments on the following topics will be helpful:
- Useful optimizations potentially prevented by the current wording
of section 11.6;
- Dangerous optimizations potentially allowed by the current wording.
The point of contact for this study is
Dr. John B. Goodenough
Software Engineering Institute
Carnegie Mellon University
Pittsburgh, PA 15213

Please send your comments to Dr. Goodenough by 31 March 1989. The report
on this topic will be made available to the public upon completion.
Ada 9X is an Ada community project. I appreciate your support and
consideration of this matter.
