hi, i am a total newbie needing to learn a little ADA on a giant ADA code/files. my boss wants me to troubleshoot where an error is caused by some ADA file of a 100+ set of ADA files. i have no idea where to start learning a little ADA so i can even work on the task. can someone please point me in the right direction of learning some ADA?
thank you!
What is the exact compiler message or what kind of exception is raised?
I can offer an introductory PowerPoint course (in English or German) on the basis of Ada 95 with appropriate later amendments affecting 95 features:
It’s my personal view of Ada.
nordic, the error is not specific to ADA or a compiler. the error is specific to the code itself of which there are hundreds of lines. i will look over the ADA basic Course that you provided and see if that will help me. thanks!
AdaCore has a nice, interactive short course on Ada that you may want to check out.
The quote at the beginning from Richard Riehle hits even harder when you see 150 or more C++ rules that need to be followed and which I happened to stumble across last week.
I would be happy to help: start with a a Zoom meet and a look at your environment, Ada set up, Using GNATStudio GUI or something else, etc. and then go from there
When I was still active, I reworked our team’s coding standard, this is I removed about a third or more of the rules because they just said “use the corresponding Ada feature”.
