Two implementations of the Ada program library
Jim Briggs · Software Practice and Experience · 1984
Abstract The programming language Ada defines a separate compilation mechanism which must enforce the language rules in the same manner when compiling a program either in several units or as one compilation unit. Two implementations of the Ada program library required by this mechanism are described. Each has an associated compiler manager program which is the user's interface to the library. The first maintains a central map file containing the library structure. The second uses the UNIX tool make to maintain the library and permits more flexibility in the UNIX operating system environment. Higher level tools could use the second manager as a component part.
