34 -- This package spec exports version information for GNAT, GNATBIND and

return String;
40 -- Version output when GNAT (compiler), or its related tools, including
41 -- GNATBIND, GNATCHOP, GNATFIND, GNATLINK, GNATMAKE, GNATXREF, are run
42 -- (with appropriate verbose option switch set).
44 Gnat_Static_Version_String
: constant String := "GNU Ada";
45 -- Static string identifying this version, that can be used as an argument
46 -- to e.g. pragma Ident.
48 type Gnat_Build_Type

51 Build_Type
: constant Gnat_Build_Type
:= FSF

52 -- Kind of GNAT build:
55 -- GNAT FSF version. This version of GNAT is part of a Free Software
56 -- Foundation release of the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC). The bug
57 -- box generated by Comperr gives information on how to report bugs
58 -- and list the "no warranty" information.
61 -- GNAT GPL Edition. This is a special version of GNAT, released by
62 -- Ada Core Technologies and intended for academic users, and free
63 -- software developers. The bug box generated by the package Comperr
64 -- gives appropriate bug submission instructions that do not reference
65 -- customer number etc.
67 function Gnat_Free_Software
return String;
68 -- Text to be displayed by the different GNAT tools when switch --version
69 -- is used. This text depends on the GNAT build type.
71 function Copyright_Holder

73 -- GNAT tools when switch --version is used.
75 Ver_Len_Max
: constant := 64;
76 -- Longest possible length for Gnat_Version_String in this or any
77 -- other version of GNAT. This is used by the binder to establish
78 -- space to store any possible version string value for checks. This
79 -- value should never be decreased in the future, but it would be
80 -- OK to increase it if absolutely necessary.
82 Library_Version
: constant String := "4.3";
83 -- Library version. This value must be updated whenever any change to the
84 -- compiler affects the library formats in such a way as to obsolete
85 -- previously compiled library modules.
87 -- Note: Makefile.in relies on the precise format of the library version
88 -- string in order to correctly construct the soname value.
90 Verbose_Library_Version
: constant String := "GNAT Lib v" & Library_Version

91 -- Version string stored in e.g. ALI files.
93 Current_Year
: constant String := "2007";
