I am not sure about an Ada coding standard specific for GNU, I will ask around. I know there is a manual that makes some recommendations in terms of coding standars: Ada Quality and Style. I am reluctant to provide a link from adahome.com as I've heard that the site is no longer maintained, but that's the only place where I could find it: http://www.adahome.com/Resources/refs/aqs.html << Ada Quality and Style: Guidelines for Professional Programmers" (AQS) intended for Ada 83 programmers, was published by the Software Productivity Consortium (Van Nostrand Reinhold, ISBN 0-442-23805-3), and has been revised for Ada 95 (new version released in October 1995). The AQS has plenty of good ideas, recommendations, and rationales for coding styles, but note that it is quite detailed and thorough (in case you were thinking of using it as a reference for code inspections/auditing). Finally, one doesn't have to adopt or agree with every guideline in it. >> -- Joel
