Due to some company re-structuring I've been programming in C++ lately. On
complex calculations I still write small test programs in Ada first, then
translate working logic to C++. I have no question that it saves me time in
the long run.
Recently I have been doing a bunch of geometric transformations. Matthew
Heaneys' implementation of Ada.Numerics_Generic_Real_Arrays made my testing
a snap.
I just wanted to say thanks :-)

Well, I'd love to accept your thanks, except that I don't think it was
me who wrote Ada.Numerics_Generic_Real_Arrays. I did write
Ada.Containers.*, but that's a separate subsystem. Hmmm... Are you sure
you're not confusing me with Martin Dowie, perhaps?

I am able to help identify the source of Generic_Real_Arrays. (At
least I know the source of *one* such library.)
I have a collection that has several numeric math packages, and one
from Drexel University contains Generic_Real_Arrays.Operations.
Now that I review this item, I discover that this package defines a
subprogram "Singular_Value_Decomposition". By golly, that is the
answer to another recent posting as well!
You can acquire the Drexel U Matrix Math items from
http://dflwww.ece.drexel.edu/research/ada/
They are marked:
-- Copyright (c) Drexel University, 1996 --
-- Data Fusion Laboratory --
-- Electrical and Computer Engineering Department --
-- $AUTHORS: Chris Papademetrious, Xiaoxun Zhu, Moshe Kam
BTW I am just completing a library that is useful for programs that
want to perform IO operations for numeric applications. I'll be
seeking a venue for making this stuff publicly available within the
next few days. Suggestions and early-look testers welcome....
John

What about making an AI for Ada.Linear_Algebra?

That's an implementation of the now obsolete ISO standard ISO/IEC
13813:1996(E).
The Ada0Y version, that John Barnes was responsible for, is based on this
but does have differences (not to mention that it now comes under the
"Ada.Numerics" standard package.
The implementation is available from
http://www.martin.dowie.btinternet.co.uk/
Glad someone is finding these useful :-)
Cheers

Im a programmer. Of course I'm confused ;-)
Thank you Martin.

Matthew, if Ada.Numerics_Generic_Real_Arrays is based on Ada.Containers,
then by the unwritten laws of generic instantiation you are an author of
Ada.Numerics_Generic_Real_Arrays. Next, world domination :-)

Sorry - there are no containers in Ada.Numerics.Generic_Real_Arrays... :-)
