Predefined Language Libraries
Ada's built-in library is provided by three root library units: Ada, Interfaces, and System; other library units are children of these. The library is quite extensive and well-structured. These chapters too are more reference like. Most specifications included in them have been obtained from the reznikmm/adalib repository.
The package Standard contains all predefined identifiers in the language.
Standard
Ada
Interfaces
System
Ada 83 had a much smaller library and did not yet have this library structure. These root libraries were introduced in Ada 95 to inhibit a name pollution. To preserve compatibility, there exist renamings of all Ada 83 library units XXX as Ada.XXX respectively System.XXX; see RM J 1 Renamings of Library Units. Contrary to the names in the root hierarchies, the original Ada 83 names XXX are not protected – they may be reused for user-defined library units.
Implementation-Defined Language Libraries
Every Ada implementation has as an extension of the predefined Ada library. One example is the library provided by the GNAT implementation.
