Description-en: GNU Ada compiler
GNAT is a full-featured Ada 2012 compiler. A quote from
http://www.adaic.org says: "Easily reused and maintained, readable
and user friendly, Ada code facilitates such massive software
projects as the Space Station and the Paris Metro. It has proven to
be extraordinarily robust in decades' worth of daily field tests
under the most rigorous conditions in which millions of lives have
been at stake." Ada is the language for real-world, mission-critical
programming.
.
At the same time, Ada's radical type safety helps novice programmers
avoid many common mistakes and deliver their software on time (see
http://www.adaic.org/atwork/trains.html).
.
This empty package depends on the default version of the Ada compiler
for Debian, which is part of the GNU Compiler Collection. Its
enforces the same version for all Ada compilations, as described in
the Debian Ada Policy.
