Webinar: GNAT Pro for OpenVMS on HP Integrity servers
Summary
AdaCore’s GNAT Pro for HP OpenVMS I64 is a full-featured Ada development environment offering a natural migration path for Ada applications from other platforms. It includes a compiler that can handle all three versions of the Ada standard — Ada 83, Ada 95, and Ada 2005 — and provides a rich set of auxiliary tools and an extensive set of libraries. Ada-aware debugging is provided through HP’s OpenDebug.
In this half-hour webinar AdaCore, with HP’s participation, will describe the features and benefits of the GNAT Pro Ada development environment on HP OpenVMS I64 and answer questions from the audience. A particular focus will be on how to port Ada code from HP Ada on VAX and Alpha servers to GNAT Pro on OpenVMS I64. GNAT Pro supplies an extensive set of pragmas and attributes that are compatible with HP Ada, and for most Ada code the porting process should be reasonably straightforward. For those situations where the program makes architectural assumptions that do not apply to I64 (for example 32-bit addresses) the webinar will identify the issues and offer effective solutions.
