Ada Programming/Ada 80

80 __TOC__ Ada 80 was a preliminary version of the Ada programming language. The Military Standard reference manual was approved on December 10, 1980 (Ada Lovelace's birthday), and given the number MIL-STD-1815 in honor of Ada Lovelace's birth year. The Ada 83 standard, MIL-STD-1815A, was later derived from Ada 80. Ada 80 is just interesting from a historic point of view, there is no code that must conform with this standard. Summary of features Pragmas Controlled Include (not in Ada 83) Inline Interface List Memory_Size Optimize Pack Priority Storage_Unit Suppress System_Name (named System in Ada 83) The following pragmas were not defined in Ada 80, but were later added in Ada 83: Elaborate (Ada 83 only) Page (Ada 83 only) Shared (Ada 83 only) Attributes Actual_Delta (not in Ada 83) Address Base Bits (not in Ada 83) Constrained Count Delta Digits Emax Epsilon Failure (not in Ada 83) First First_Bit Image Large Last Last_Bit Length Machine_Emax Machine_Emin Machine_Mantissa Machine_Overflows Machine_Radix Machine_Rounds Mantissa Pos Position Pred Priority (not in Ada 83) Range Size Small Storage_Size Succ Terminated Val Value The following attributes were later added to Ada 83: Aft (Ada 83 only) Callable (Ada 83 only) Fore (Ada 83 only) Safe_Emax (Ada 83 only) Safe_Large (Ada 83 only) Safe_Small (Ada 83 only) Width (Ada 83 only) See also Wikibook Ada Programming/Ada 83 Ada Programming/Ada 95 Ada Programming/Ada 2005 Ada Programming/Ada 2012 References DoD The Programming Language Ada Reference Manual — Proposed Standard Document United States Department of Defense November 1980 http://www.springerlink.com/content/un24t0851755/ 2008-06-06 External links Steelman language requirements Stoneman requirements History of the Ada Programming Language The naming of Ada (January 1983) The History of Ada (March 1984) DoD's Common Programming Language Effort Ada—the project: the DoD high order language working group Introducing Ada The Department of Defense software initiative—a status report Ada: past, present, future The ACM position on standardization of the Ada language A Language is Born: Ada, IEEE Computer (November 1981) p. 123 — Advertisement about Ada 80 books Ada, an analyst and a metaphysician (March 1991) Ada 1980 Ada 1980
