What is interface inheritance in Ada 2005?

Used to declare an interface. Interfaces are the most important innovation in Ada 2005. The basic semantic has been taken from the interface concept of the Java programming language. Interface inheritance is a reduced form of multiple inheritance . Can be used as interface to limited tagged type. All synchronized interfaces are also limited.

What is Ada 2005?

For Ada, this constant innovation is most obvious in the real-time arena, where Ada 2005, like Ada 95 before it, raises the bar for real-time programming languages by providing facilities that are either new to the industry or are only partially available in other programming languages.

Can Ada be used for embedded projects?

It's not just for defense contracts any more. Ada has developed into a useful programming language for plenty of different embedded projects. This expert shows how new Ada standards improve Ada's real-time capability to meet those tight deadlines.

Is Ada 95 enough for real-time programming?

Although the core tasking model in Ada 95 has great expressive power and is difficult to use incorrectly, it's not enough for real-time programming. For example, the core doesn't define a notion of priority, nor of priority-based queuing or scheduling. That's where Ada's Real-Time Systems Annex comes into play.
