Dear fellow teamers, I am contemplating transitioning a system in Ada83 to Ada95. Our current implementation uses a programming environment that supports "export sets" from components, i.e. the ability to define for a given software component (CSC, say 10-50 kSLOC) the package specifikations that are allowed to be "with"ed from another component. In Ada95, this ability was added to the language itself, using visibility of child packages as the means to define the export set of a component. (I never actually used Ada95, but this is how I understand it from the "glossies" ;-) Hence, as I understand it, it should be possible to transform the Ada83 source of a system built as a set of components to a corresponding set of top level "component packages" with public and private child packages in Ada95. Is this possible? Has it been done? Is it a stupid idea alltogether? Any other ideas? Thanks for any replies. Cheers, Dan Daniel Wengelin, CelsiusTech Systems [log in to unmask]
