− | These Release Notes contain information relevant to Version 5.4e of the OCS PowerAda Compilation System, supplementing the PowerAda User's Guide.
| + | Release notes for current versions of OCS products are available at http://docs.ocsystems.com/w/index.php/OCS_Downloads. Login credentials are required to access downloads, contact [mailto:support@ocsystems.com Contact OC Systems] for assistance. |
| | | |
− | == 1. Introduction ==
| + | A complete list of available release notes for earlier versions can be obtained via [http://docs.ocsystems.com/w/index.php?search=release+notes&go=Go this search link]. |
− | Version 5.5 of the PowerAda Compilation System is a bug-fix update to version 5.4e of the PowerAda development tools from OC Systems. These notes identify the differences between this version and version 5.4e.
| |
− | | |
− | == 2. Getting Help ==
| |
− | If you have any comments, would like additional information, need a different media format, or you have any other installation or configuration problems, please contact OC Systems by internet at [mailto:support@ocsystems.com support -at -ocsystems.com] or by telephone at (703)-359-8160.
| |
− | | |
− | == 3. Requirements ==
| |
− | System Requirements for each of the three PowerAda hosts are: For PowerAda/AIX: any computer running AIX version 4.2 or later (including AIX version 5.3) For PowerAda/Linux: any modern Intel Pentium-based computer running Red Hat Linux 8 or later (with a version 2.4.18 kernel or later) Contact OC Systems for help installing PowerAda on versions or platforms other than these. Typically, 500 Megabytes of disk space are required for installation of PowerAda on any of the host platforms. The file (README) contains more detailed notes on requirements. Please refer to this before installing the PowerAda product on any supported host.
| |
− | | |
− | == 4. Licensing ==
| |
− | PowerAda 5.5 works with the software product FLEXlm. PowerAda 5.5 for AIX does not require a new license if you already have a valid license for PowerAda 4.1 or newer for AIX. PowerAda 5.5 for Linux may require a new license be issued. Contact support@ocsystems.com if you have not received a license key specifically for PowerAda 5.3 (or newer). The license keys for AIX are different from those for Linux, as the products are sold separately. See the PowerAda 5.5 Installation Guide for more information about setting up the license manager.
| |
− | | |
− | == 5. Compatibility ==
| |
− | On both AIX and Linux Linux, PowerAda 5.5 is source-code compatible with PowerAda 5.2, 5.3, and 5.4. But the runtime libraries have been recompiled in each version. Furthermore, the internal data structures inside of a sublibrary changed in version 5.4. A complete recompilation of your source code is recommended, but is not required in all cases. It is not required if you are currently using PowerAda 5.4 or newer, but it is required if you are using an older version. Some source code changes may be required when recompiling programs currently working with PowerAda version 4.3 or earlier. Projects created using earlier versions of PowerAda cannot be opened using PowerAda 5.5. Note that future versions of PowerAda 5 may not support AIX 4. PowerAda 5.5 will continue to be supported as the LegacyAda version of PowerAda for use on AIX 4 operating systems.
| |
− | | |
− | == 6. Limitations and Unimplemented Features ==
| |
− | If you encounter any problem, or have any suggestions for improvement or enhancement, please contact OC Systems at [mailto:support@ocsystems.com support -at- ocsystems.com]. We can't fix what we don't know about. See APPENDIX C, "Implementation Characteristics" (corresponding to Annex M of the Ada95 Reference Manual) for a detailed description of which optional portions of the language have been implemented. PowerAda/Linux does not do any stack overflow checking, and so it will dump core on insufficient stack space rather than raise STORAGE_ERROR. The user should make sure that all task stacks are given sufficient storage to execute.
| |
− | | |
