See the home of the ARM[1] - scroll down to the second heading, "Ada
Reference Manual Source Files". If you're interested, I'd download the
zip archive - the VCS used appears to be CVS. (Would be better ion
Github, IMO)

It's a requirements manual for what an Ada compiler must do (and, of
course, must not do) so things do have to be spelt out!

There isn't an authoritative user-oriented manual; the Rationale[2] says
why things are the way they are. There are learning materials listed[3].
