ASIS Implementation for GNAT

On January 19, 1995, Dr.Sergey Rybin announced a Partial Implementation of ASIS for GNAT:

The project is aimed at the development of a prototype implementation of the ASIS interface for the GNAT compiler. It is performed by the Scientific Research Computer Center of Moscow State University. The project was initiated by Prof. Alfred Strohmeier from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne and it is funded by the Swiss EST programme. A first prototype should be available in November 1995.

We are now in the detailed design stage. According to our plan the following issues should be dealt with:

definition and validation of the architecture of a full ASIS implementation for GNAT;
implementation of a representative subset of ASIS queries;
estimation of the amount of time and resources needed for the development of the full implementation of ASIS for GNAT.

The abstract semantic tree (AST) produced by the GNAT front-end will be used as the base for implementation. The implementation will be written in Ada 95 and GNAT will be used as a compiler.

The project team consists of:

Dr.Sergey Rybin (rybin@alex.srcc.msu.su), and
Eugene Zueff (zueff@such.srcc.msu.su),

and the group of the senior and middle-course students of Moscow State University.

We are open to any discussions concerning the ASIS implementation for GNAT and related problems.
