Here are a few quick questions for you Ada programmers out there.
Does Ada support...
Procedures passed as parameters?
Return of multiple values from procedures?
Automatic dereferencing of pointers?
Monitors?
Dynamically allocated arrays with length determined at run time?
Programmer definable machine representation of data structures?
(i.e. specifying which bits are used to hold a given field of a record.)
Thanks,

Why should we do your hack work?

Re: "Why should we do your hack work?" Robert, Thanks for participating in the free exchange of ideas on the Ada DL. I'm sure that you are as pleasant in person as you come across over the net. John p.s. I would like to thank all of the people who responded with information about the questions that I asked. Your knowledge and personal observations about these aspects of Ada have been most helpful.
