Units of measurement for Ada 2.8 (Default branch)
ImageThe library provides an implementation of dimensioned values for Ada. Unit checks are made at run-time, if not optimized out by the compiler. SI and irregular measurement units are supported. Shifted units like degrees Celsius are supported too. Conversions from and back to strings are provided for all various irregular units. An extensive set of GTK widgets for dealing with dimensioned values is included, though use of GTK is not mandatory for the rest of the library.License: GNAT Modified GPL (GMGPL)Changes:
Conversion factors were verified and, whennecessary, corrected. The references to thesources are now provided in the documentation. Theirregular units dram, gill, and league were added.The SI derived unit katal (kat) was added. Theirregular unit candle was removed. Bq was moved toderived SI units. The Unicode ounce sign is nowsupported for ounces. A bug was fixed inGet_Value_As.Image

NAME

       asistant - interactive command-line ASIS tool

SYNOPSIS

       asistant program

DESCRIPTION

       ASIS is the Ada Semantic Interface Specification; it is an application programming interface that allows Ada programs to inspect the struc-
       ture of other Ada programs.  GNAT, the GNU Ada compiler, can parse Ada source text and produce tree files suitable for use through ASIS.

       asistant is an interactive command-line tool with a simple language that allows you to inspect the semantic information	about  a  compiled
       program.  Thus you can learn ASIS and try ASIS queries interactively before writing them in your programs.

AUTHOR

       ASIS-for-GNAT  was originally developed	by the ASIS-for-GNAT team at the Software  Engineering	Laboratory  of	the Swiss  Federal  Insti-
       tute  of Technology (LGL-EPFL) in Lausanne,  Switzerland, in cooperation with the Scientific  Research  Computer  Center of   Moscow  State
       University  (SRCC  MSU),  Russia,  with funding partially provided  by grants from the Swiss National  Science  Foundation  and	the  Swiss
       Academy	of  Engineering Sciences.     ASIS-for-GNAT    is     now    maintained    by	 AdaCore (http://www.adacore.com).
