AdaCore is free to do what they want with their own version of GCC. However, removing a useful feature from the FSF version with the goal to promote their own, in-house tool is clearly against the spirit of free software. Does anybody know the procedures set by the FSF to challenge a patch? -- J-P. Rosen Adalog 2 rue du Docteur Lombard, 92441 Issy-les-Moulineaux CEDEX Tel: +33 1 45 29 21 52 https://www.adalog.fr
