I might have misunderstood Arno's point, but my understanding is that AdaCore no longer makes any patch for ASIS.
So whatever pro customers have access to (and ASIS was always a paying addon), the community also has access to by downloading the latest available sources.
The GNAT Pro compiler apparently is losing the capability to generate the tree information, just like the free version of the compiler.
If you want to use ASIS, my understanding is that you would have to do a separate "compilation" pass using the compiler from the dedicated branch just for the purpose of generating the tree files (and you can discard all the object files it perhaps generates at the same time). Then you can run ASIS tools.
This is for sure a pain for AdaControl maintainers and users, no one disputes that. On the other hand, if tree generation was indeed getting in the way of compiler improvements that benefit every one, I, for one, am happy to see the change.

I suggested in an early message that perhaps the community could build an ASIS API on top of libadalang, if there is a need for that.
I also suggested that libadalang documentation should be improved, I definitely agree with that one !
