  • Ann: HAC v.0.1

    From Gautier write-only address@21:1/5 to All on Sat May 14 05:35:55 2022
    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!

    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,
    Leo

    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."
