Annoying bagatelles in Ada
E. Farkas · ACM SIGAda Ada Letters · 1982
More than a year ago I began to work on the codegenerator of an Ada Compiler. The work is problematic because of1/ the inexact definition of the language,2/ some constructs in the language that are very hard to implement,3/ some irritating bagatelles in the language.To the second point belong the "generic", the "representation specification" and the "exception" in a multitasking environment. The implementation of these features is not easy, but it is a big gain for the programmer.
