I've been assigned the task to provide alternatives and solutions to bringing legacy Ada 83 code to a new embedded system.
The new system's hardware, OS and language of choice is fixed (Mercury Computer SBC PPCs, MC/OS, and C). The use of C is not required, however, if a justifiable alternative is presented.
The options I see are:
1) Port the code from Ada to C 2) Find Ada compilier for MC/OS PPCsTranslating to C gives better tools and vendor support. Using Ada gives more robust code and eliminates translation errors.
Has someone pursued any options similar to these on a project before? If so, what did you do, how did you do it, and how was the outcome? Thanks, pauL
