    Jack Ganssle describes and discusses the McCormick, Singhoff, and Hugues book on embedded programming in Ada, suggesting that embedded programmers should read it, regardless of which language they currently use.

    Ada inflitrates strongSwan

    by brukardt

    The popular strongSwan open source IPsec VPN project now makes use of Ada.

    The latest strongSwan release 5.0.3 [1] contains support for the Trusted Key Manager (TKM), which is a separate process providing security critical operations of the IKEv2 protocol. The TKM has been implemented from scratch in Ada, using some of the new Ada 2012 contract features for added confidence of meeting the specification.

    For more, see the project website at http://www.codelabs.ch/tkm/.

    Site updates

    by brukardt
    There recently have been some questions about how often the pages here are updated. We try to verify the information on the pages at least twice per year, and of course we add information as it becomes available. For instance, today we added a couple of free libraries (OpenGLAda and Yami4) that we had previously unintentionally left out. If you find any stale information on our site, please use the contact page to tell us about it.

    Updated ARA Edition of the Ada 2012 Rati...

    by brukardt

    An updated edition of the Ada 2012 Rationale is available at:

    http://www.ada-auth.org/standards/rationale12.html

    This edition of the Rationale combines the first six chapters of the Rationale into a single document, fixes a number of errors, adds an index, and adds discussion of various details of Ada 2012 that were changed since the original publication of these chapters in the Ada User Journal. Newly added material includes discussions of new features related to iterators and storage pools. We expect that additional chapters will be added to this edition roughly every three months.

    The Rationale for Ada 2012 provides an overview of new Ada 2012 features, examples of their use, compatibility with Ada 95 and 2005, and more. It was written by John Barnes, and was sponsored in part by the Ada Resource Association. This is an unofficial description of the language; refer to the Ada 2012 standard for detailed language rules.
