To be honest, I am personally a bit disappointed to see such a long discussion on what is allegedly not possible to do with GNAT-LLVM (and was absolutely not possible before anyway), rather than all the possibilities that GNAT-LLVM opens.
Hi Fabien,
That's a fair point. As with any compiler related development (and software in general), I'm sure the amount of time and effort it took to create GNAT-LLVM was significant. Aside from the licensing issue/debate, it is a really great contribution to the Ada community and I hope it becomes production quality in the very near future.
AdaCore is the main (if not only) company that continues to make innovative and very helpful tools related to Ada (e.g. libadalang and LearnAda). As you pointed out, AdaCore was not obligated to make such contributions. GNAT-LLVM could very well have been kept in closed doors to only further AdaCore's internal development.
When news about GNAT-LLVM first came out, I for one thought it would finally allow people to create IOS apps in Ada and to further the adoption of the language. Sadly, not sure that will ever happen now...
-Wesley
