From my own experience, the OS/2 port of GNAT (3.15, ADA95) does not suffer from a lack of performance compared to current versions under Windows or Linux (ADA2005). Even more, for my applications, it still provides the best performance close to the Windows version, the Linux version is a step behind. The fact that it generates direct code is not a real argument to me. The weak point for me of the GNAT compiler is not really the performance but the too big size of its executables.
The reason for this port is for me
- to benefit from the ADA2005 related language imporvements
- to use a more modern linker able to cope with recent C or C++
- to get some bug fixes.
