All, on a only somewhat related note... is anyone aware of a restricted runtime environment (for Windows NT) that doesn't have dependencies on userland libraries (msvcrt, threading)? Background is that we have code that needs to run as kernel modules/kernel dlls/device drivers under Windows NT/2000/XP. Using pragma no_run_time is a bit harsh in its restrictions and leads to code that is less than perfectly readable (e.g. with regard to technically unconstrained arays). So -- is anyone present or aware of folks that have developed device drivers in Ada under Windows and maybe have a neutered GNULL implementation? Long shot, I know. -- later, Stephen Fraunhofer-IGD | mailto: Stephen Wolthusen | [log in to unmask] Fraunhoferstr. 5 | [log in to unmask] 64283 Darmstadt | [log in to unmask] GERMANY | | Tel +49 (0) 6151 155 539 | Fax: +49 (0) 6151 155 499
