AdaCore's GNAT Pro Ada Development Environment Now Available for HP OpenVMS on HP Integrity Servers; GNAT Pro helps customers meet stringent requirements for mission-critical software systems.SALT LAKE CITY -- Today at the Systems & Software Technology Conference AdaCore announced the immediate availability of its flagship GNAT gnat, common name for any one of a number of small, fragile-looking two-winged flies of the suborder Nematocera, order Diptera, which includes the families Tipulidae (crane flies), Bibionidae (hairflies), Ceratopogonidae (biting midges), Chironomidae (true midges), Pro Ada development environment for HP OpenVMS on HP Integrity servers. GNAT Pro for OpenVMS on HP Integrity servers is tailored to the needs of developers who require reliability, performance and maintainability in their software. It can be used for a broad spectrum of applications, including database systems, device control and transportation. GNAT Pro for OpenVMS on HP Integrity servers comprises a full Ada compiler, a comprehensive toolset, and supplemental libraries and bindings. It allows developers to build pure Ada applications as well as Ada components in multi-language systems. The product not only implements Ada 95, but it also supports the Ada 83 subset and a large set of the new Ada 2005 features. It is optimized to take full advantage of the performance and scalability of the 64-bit HP Integrity server architecture, allowing full use of the large address space. AdaCore has been providing Ada products on OpenVMS platforms since 1998, when the company introduced its GNAT Pro environment for HP AlphaServer systems. "GNAT Pro and OpenVMS have always been a natural mix because of their shared emphasis on reliability and robustness," said Robert Dewar, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of AdaCore. "With GNAT Pro now available for HP Integrity servers running OpenVMS, developers on the platform have the opportunity to use Ada, the language best suited for mission-critical systems." GNAT Pro is especially useful for systems comprising many thousands of modules and millions of lines of code The statements and instructions that a programmer writes when creating a program. One line of this "source code" may generate one machine instruction or several depending on the programming language. A line of code in assembly language is typically turned into one machine instruction. . Its robust system architecture allows scalability based on program size and does not degrade abruptly when a fixed capacity is reached. Its project facility provides a flexible framework for organizing large, multi-person development efforts. "We are delighted that AdaCore has chosen to strengthen its commitment to HP OpenVMS and extend the value of HP Integrity servers to its customers," said Ann McQuaid, general manager of the OpenVMS Group, Business Critical Servers, HP. "The deployment of Ada products on HP Integrity servers enables customers to experience the synergy between the mission-critical enterprise computing Refers to information technology in the larger company.

GNAT Pro is highly compatible with the HP Alpha-hosted Ada 83 compiler (formerly known as "DEC Ada"), implementing HP-specific pragmas and attributes, following HP Ada's representational conventions, and providing a binding to the HP Ada predefined library. GNAT Pro tool invocation invocation, n a prayer requesting and inviting the presence of God. has the OpenVMS "look and feel", using standard OpenVMS syntax and conventions. GNAT Pro for OpenVMS implements both Ada-specific and platform-dependent optimizations, and the run-time library (operating system, programming, library) run-time library - A file containing routines which are linked with a program at run time rather than at compile-time. The advantage of such dynamic linking is that only one copy of the library needs to be stored, rather than a copy being has been designed to map Ada's dynamic features directly and efficiently onto the underlying OpenVMS services. The product features a comprehensive tool suite, including a pretty-printer, program browser and program metrics generator. Ada debugging (programming) debugging - The process of attempting to determine the cause of the symptoms of malfunctions in a program or other system. These symptoms may be detected during testing or use by real users. support on HP OpenVMS is being provided by the OpenVMS Debug To correct a problem in hardware or software. Debugging software means locating the errors in the source code (the program logic). Debugging hardware means finding errors in the circuit design (logical circuits) or in the physical interconnections of the circuits. tool. Ada capabilities are being phased into this tool, with additional functionality planned for subsequent releases. AdaCore distributes GNAT Pro with complete source code, and backs the product with rapid and expert support service. Availability GNAT Pro for OpenVMS is currently available for HP Integrity servers. Pricing for GNAT Pro subscriptions starts at $14,000. Please contact AdaCore (sales@adacore.com) for the latest information on pricing and supported configurations.
