Using Ada in the Real-Time Avionics Environment. Issues and Conclusions.

Abstract

This projected involved studying the real-time avionics environment in which Ada will become the primary programming language in the near future. A set of issues of concern regarding the use of Ada within this environment was identified and described. Test programs, including the new Prototype Ada Compiler Evaluation Capability, were evaluated as to their applicability to these issues. The applicable test program were compiled and executed using two validated Ada compilers. Compile time and run time statistics were gathered to form a baseline against which other Ada compilers (preferably MIL-STD-1750a Ada compilers) may be compared.
