was planned for lang/gnat-aux to upgrade to version 4.7, then 4.8, etc.
However, some cross-compilers are based on it and there are some significant
differences between gcc 4.6 and 4.7. lang/gnat-aux also installs with a
${LOCALBASE} of /usr/local which has a high potential of file conflicts with
other lang/ compilers. Another reason for keeping them separate is just about
every Ada program will need to be patched for it due to new binding
interpretations stemming from Ada-2012 work. Simply updating gnat-aux would
break them all instantly.
The AUX compiler supports several languages: Ada, C, C++, Fortran and
Objective-C. Since Ada support must be built by an Ada-capable compiler, only
platforms for which a bootstrap compiler is available can build the AUX
compiler.
The AUX compiler is based on release versions of the Free Software Foundation's
GNU Compiler Collection. It carries with it the GMGPL license, the modified
version of the GPL that exempts generic instantiation from resulting in a
GPL-licensed executable. It also carries the GCC Runtime Library Exception, so
the resulting binaries have no licensing requirements. Binaries produced by
the AUX compiler should be legally handled the same as binaries produced by any
FSF compiler.
The AUX GNAT compiler implements the full Ada-83, Ada-95, Ada-2005 standard and
provides a partial implementation of Ada-2012.
