GNAT Studio Product Update
GNAT Studio is a powerful and intuitive IDE that supports the full development workflow, from coding to system integration, testing, debugging, and code analysis. It is particularly well-suited for programmers using Ada, SPARK, C and C++.
This year the interface remains the same on the outside, but we have a new engine behind GNAT Studio: the Ada Language Server (ALS). This new engine is based on Libadalang and isn't compiler-dependent, compared to our previous technology that depended on ALI files generated from a compilation. ALS uses the Microsoft Language Server Protocol (LSP), that defines a standard communication method to connect development tools with local language servers. This common framework makes it easy for IDEs to support more languages, and it makes it possible for language-specific code to be reused. It also gives the possibility to not use GNAT Studio at all and enjoy Ada functionality in a number of other IDEs.
Check out this video to see how these new changes make GNAT Studio more efficient, more reliable, and more maintainable.
