AdaCore Delivers Most Advanced Ada 2005 Development Environment; GNAT Pro 5.04 Enables More Efficient Creation of Dependable Software.NEW YORK New York, state, United States New York, Middle Atlantic state of the United States. It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Atlantic Ocean (E), New Jersey and Pennsylvania (S), Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Canadian province of -- AdaCore today launched the latest and most advanced version 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 open-source Ada development environment, GNAT Pro 5.04. Enabling faster creation of robust, dependable software, it supports all the major new features in the Ada 2005 release of the Ada programming language, with over 120 enhancements to the technology. Created under the auspices of the International Organization for Standardization International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Organization for determining standards in most technical and nontechnical fields. Founded in Geneva in 1947, its membership includes more than 100 countries. (ISO (1) See ISO speed. (2) (International Organization for Standardization, Geneva, Switzerland, www.iso.ch) An organization that sets international standards, founded in 1946. The U.S. member body is ANSI. ), Ada 2005 introduces significant enhancements in many areas, including Object-Oriented Programming, interfacing with other languages (most notably Java), software architectural design, real-time systems, and predefined libraries. It offers improved support for high-integrity applications, including the standardization of the Ravenscar profile for certifiable cer·ti·fi·a·ble adj. 1. That can or must be certified. Used of infectious, industrial, and other diseases that are required by law to be reported to health authorities. 2. concurrent programs. Ada 2005 represents the first major upgrade of the Ada language in 10 years. GNAT Pro 5.04 incorporates improved installation, easier usage, and new features, including options for stack usage analysis and a tool for enforcing project-specific rules. It is implemented on more than 30 configurations, the widest variety in the Ada industry, including new 64-bit platforms, such as SGI's Altix servers, HP's Integrity servers, and the x86-64. Over half of the new features in GNAT Pro stem from customer requests, demonstrating the effectiveness of AdaCore's unique support model, which ensures customer queries are answered by the product developers themselves, the largest and most experienced group of Ada experts in the world. "With its many enhancements, Ada 2005 is the best choice for reliable and efficient software, across a wide spectrum of applications, including high-integrity systems," commented Cyrille Comar, managing director, AdaCore. "The latest release of GNAT Pro extends these benefits to programmers, enabling faster development of safe and robust code." "Ada 2005 truly advances the state of the art in programming language design," added Robert Dewar, AdaCore's 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. . "As one example, its unification of concurrency Operations that are performed simultaneously within the computer. For example, dual-core CPUs provide complete overlapping of two independent processes. See dual core, hyperthreading, multiprocessing, multitasking, multithreading, SMP and MPP. concurrency - multitasking and object oriented technology is a breakthrough that can help programmers develop more maintainable systems. AdaCore's GNAT Pro 5.04 brings these benefits to the industry now, backed by the quality support and high-caliber expertise that we have been providing to our customers since our company was founded." GNAT Pro 5.04 includes advanced AltiVec support, both direct to PowerPC and simulated to other compatible targets; greater stack size control and analysis; and efficient, linker-level removal of unused subprograms and data. The new ASIS-based GNATCHECK tool provides evidence of the enforcement of project-specific rules. Pricing and Availability GNAT Pro 5.04 will be available in mid-February to AdaCore customers on selected platforms. Pricing for GNAT Pro subscriptions starts at $14,000.
