Ada Development Environment for LynuxWorks LynxOS

GNAT Pro for LynxOS is a robust and flexible Ada development environment targeted to the LynxOS real-time operating system. It comprises a full Ada compiler, an Integrated Development Environment (GPS, the GNAT Programming Studio), a comprehensive toolset including a visual debugger, and a set of libraries and bindings. GNAT Pro for LynxOS allows development of pure Ada applications as well as Ada components in multilanguage systems. It is distributed with complete source code, and is backed by rapid and expert support service.

Excellent code quality

Efficient object code is achieved through a combination of Ada-specific and GCC back end optimizations; a supplemental tool reduces code size by removing unused subprograms from an executable. The run-time libraries have been tuned to provide high performance, with a special focus on exception handling and tasking.

Ease of transitioning from other Ada compiler systems

GNAT Pro implements several attributes and pragmas that ease the porting of existing Ada 83 or Ada 95 code bases to GNAT, and the Project Manager facility allows you to adopt the same file naming conventions and directory structure as were used in the previous system.

Open source technology

Full source code is provided for all GNAT Pro components. Developers can see how the run-time libraries implement dynamic Ada features in the context of the LynxOS kernel.

Support for LynxOS 5.0

GNAT Pro customers can now take advantage of the many new features offered by LynxOS 5.0, including:
