-
-==============================================================================
-1. Syntax Highlighting ~
- *ft-ada-syntax*
-
-This mode is designed for the 2005 edition of Ada ("Ada 2005"), which includes
-support for objected-programming, protected types, and so on. It handles code
-written for the original Ada language ("Ada83", "Ada87", "Ada95") as well,
-though code which uses Ada 2005-only keywords will be wrongly colored (such
-code should be fixed anyway). For more information about Ada, see
-http://www.adapower.com.
-
-The Ada mode handles a number of situations cleanly.
-
-For example, it knows that the "-" in "-5" is a number, but the same character
-in "A-5" is an operator. Normally, a "with" or "use" clause referencing
-another compilation unit is coloured the same way as C's "#include" is coloured.
-If you have "Conditional" or "Repeat" groups coloured differently, then "end
-if" and "end loop" will be coloured as part of those respective groups.
-
-You can set these to different colours using vim's "highlight" command (e.g.,
-to change how loops are displayed, enter the command ":hi Repeat" followed by
-the colour specification; on simple terminals the colour specification
-ctermfg=White often shows well).
-
-There are several options you can select in this Ada mode. See|ft-ada-options|
-for a complete list.
-
-To enable them, assign a value to the option. For example, to turn one on:
- >
- > let g:ada_standard_types = 1
->
-To disable them use ":unlet". Example:
->
- > unlet g:ada_standard_types
-
-You can just use ":" and type these into the command line to set these
-temporarily before loading an Ada file. You can make these option settings
-permanent by adding the "let" command(s), without a colon, to your "~/.vimrc"
-file.
-
-Even on a slow (90Mhz) PC this mode works quickly, but if you find the
-performance unacceptable, turn on |g:ada_withuse_ordinary|.
-
-Syntax folding instructions (|fold-syntax|) are added when |g:ada_folding| is
-set.
-
-==============================================================================
-2. File type Plug-in ~
- *ft-ada-indent* *ft-ada-plugin*
-
-The Ada plug-in provides support for:
-
- - auto indenting (|indent.txt|)
- - insert completion (|i_CTRL-N|)
- - user completion (|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-U|)
- - tag searches (|tagsrch.txt|)
- - Quick Fix (|quickfix.txt|)
- - backspace handling (|'backspace'|)
- - comment handling (|'comments'|, |'commentstring'|)
-
-The plug-in only activates the features of the Ada mode whenever an Ada
-files is opened and add adds Ada related entries to the main and pop-up menu.
-
-==============================================================================
-3. Omni Completion ~
- *ft-ada-omni*
-
-The Ada omni-completions (|i_CTRL-X_CTRL-O|) uses tags database created either
-by "gnat xref -v" or the "exuberant Ctags (http://ctags.sourceforge.net). The
-complete function will automatically detect which tool was used to create the
-tags file.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-3.1 Omni Completion with "gnat xref" ~
- *gnat-xref*
-
-GNAT XREF uses the compiler internal informations (ali-files) to produce the
-tags file. This has the advantage to be 100% correct and the option of deep
-nested analysis. However the code must compile, the generator is quite
-slow and the created tags file contains only the basic Ctags informations for
-each entry - not enough for some of the more advanced Vim code browser
-plug-ins.
-
-NOTE: "gnat xref -v" is very tricky to use as it has almost no diagnostic
- output - If nothing is printed then usually the parameters are wrong.
- Here some important tips:
-
-1) You need to compile your code first and use the "-aO" option to point to
- your .ali files.
-2) "gnat xref -v ../Include/adacl.ads" won't work - use the "gnat xref -v
- -aI../Include adacl.ads" instead.
-3) "gnat xref -v -aI../Include *.ad?" won't work - use "cd ../Include" and
- then "gnat xref -v *.ad?"
-4) Project manager support is completely broken - don't even try "gnat xref
- -Padacl.gpr".
-5) VIM is faster when the tags file is sorted - use "sort --unique
- --ignore-case --output=tags tags" .
-6) Remember to insert "!_TAG_FILE_SORTED 2 %sort ui" as first line to mark
- the file assorted.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-3.2 Omni Completion with "ctags"~
- *ada-ctags*
-
-Exuberant Ctags uses its own multi-language code parser. The parser is quite
-fast, produces a lot of extra informations (hence the name "Exuberant Ctags")
-and can run on files which currently do not compile.
-
-There are also lots of other Vim-tools which use exuberant Ctags.
-
-You will need to install a version of the Exuberant Ctags which has Ada
-support patched in. Such a version is available from the GNU Ada Project
-(http://gnuada.sourceforge.net).
-
-The Ada parser for Exuberant Ctags is fairly new - don't expect complete
-support yet.
-
-==============================================================================
-4. Compiler Support ~
- *ada-compiler*
-
-The Ada mode supports more then one Ada compiler and will automatically load the
-compiler set in|g:ada_default_compiler|whenever an Ada source is opened. The
-provided compiler plug-ins are split into the actual compiler plug-in and a
-collection of support functions and variables. This allows the easy
-development of specialized compiler plug-ins fine tuned to your development
-environment.
-
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-4.1 GNAT ~
- *compiler-gnat*
-
-GNAT is the only free (beer and speech) Ada compiler available. There are
-several version available which differentiate in the licence terms used.
-
-The GNAT compiler plug-in will perform a compile on pressing <F7> and then
-immediately shows the result. You can set the project file to be used by
-setting:
- >
- > call g:gnat.Set_Project_File ('my_project.gpr')
-
-Setting a project file will also create a Vim session (|views-sessions|) so -
-like with the GPS - opened files, window positions etc. will remembered
-separately for all projects.
-
- *gnat_members*
-GNAT OBJECT ~

- project file. If called with an empty string then the project
- and associated session are closed.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-4.2 Dec Ada ~
- *compiler-hpada* *compiler-decada*
- *compiler-vaxada* *compiler-compaqada*
-
-Dec Ada (also known by - in chronological order - VAX Ada, Dec Ada, Compaq Ada
-and HP Ada) is a fairly dated Ada 83 compiler. Support is basic: <F7> will
-compile the current unit.
-
-The Dec Ada compiler expects the package name and not the file name to be
-passed a parameter. The compiler plug-in supports the usual file name
-convention to convert the file into a unit name. For separates both '-' and
-'__' are allowed.

-8. Extra Plugins ~
- *ada-extra-plugins*
-
-You can optionally install the following extra plug-in. They work well with Ada
-and enhance the ability of the Ada mode.:
-
-backup.vim
- http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1537
- Keeps as many backups as you like so you don't have to.
-
-rainbow_parenthsis.vim
- http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1561
- Very helpful since Ada uses only '(' and ')'.
-
-nerd_comments.vim
- http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1218
- Excellent commenting and uncommenting support for almost any
- programming language.
-
-matchit.vim
- http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=39
- '%' jumping for any language. The normal '%' jump only works for '{}'
- style languages. The Ada mode will set the needed search patters.
-
-taglist.vim
- http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=273
- Source code explorer sidebar. There is a patch for Ada available.
-
-The GNU Ada Project distribution (http://gnuada.sourceforge.net) of Vim
