HAC (HAC Ada Compiler) is a quick, small, open-source Ada
compiler, covering a subset of the Ada language.
HAC is itself fully programmed in Ada.

Web site: http://hacadacompiler.sf.net/
From there, links to sources and an executable for Windows.

Source repositories:
#1 svn: https://sf.net/p/hacadacompiler/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/
#2 git: https://github.com/zertovitch/hac

* Main improvements since v.0.0996:

- packages and subpackages are now supported
- modularity: packages and subprograms can be standalone
library units, stored in individual files with
GNAT's naming convention, and accessed from other units
via the WITH clause
- validity checks were added for a better detection of
uninitialized variables.

Package examples and modularity tests have been added.
Particularly, a new PDF producer package with a few demos
is located in the ./exm/pdf directory.

Enjoy!

PS: for Windows, there is an integrated editor that embeds HAC:

which subset of the Ada language is covered?

I just tested this on MacOS Monterey 12.3.1 and it works perfectly out
of the box (as expected for Ada code :).

Great work Gautier!

Cheers,

You beat me to it by an hour!

Great work Gautier!

Ditto.

Doctor Who:

which subset of the Ada language is covered?

Quoting from ./doc/hac.txt (section "Language subset"):
"The available Ada language subset supported by HAC is so far, roughly,
the "Pascal subset", plus tasking, plus packages, less pointers.
From a different perspective, HAC supports Ada 83, less pointers, less generics,
less unconstrained types, plus a few items from Ada 95 and 2005.
Recursion and nested subprograms are supported."
and: "Tasks are implemented, but not working yet."
