Ada Compiler Validation Summary Report. Certificate Number 880616S1. 09146 Naval Underwater Systems Center, ADAVAX, Version 1.7 w/ OPT, VAX 8600 (Host) to VAX 8600 (Target)
Abstract
This Validation Summary Report describes the extent to which a spec ific Ada compiler conforms to the Ada Standard, ANSI/MIL-STD-1815A. This report explains all technical terms used within it thoroughly reports the results of testing this compiler using the Ada Compiler Validation Capability. An Ada compiler must be implemented according to the Ada Standard, and any implementation-dependent features must conform to the requirements of the Ada Standard. The Ada Standard must be implemented in its entirety, and nothing can be implemented that is not in the Standard. Even though all validated Ada compilers conform to the Ada Standard, it must be understood that some differences do exist between implementations. The Ada Standard permits some implementation dependencies-for example, the maximum length of identifiers or the maximum values of integer types. Other differences between compilers result from the characteristics of particular systems, hardware, or implementation strategies. All the dependencies observed during this process of testing this compiler are given in this report. This information in this report is derived from the test results produced during validation testing. The validation process includes submitting a suite of standardized tests, the ACVC, as inputs to an Ada compiler and evaluating the results.
