Is there an OSS version of such a tool?

I’d love to see Ada get “modernized” where the syntax could fundamentally change but the ideas are similar. Being able to explicitly say the range of values is pretty cool, for example.




Ada syntax takes a little while to get used to, but replace {} with begin/end and it otherwise feels like any other procedural language out there.

This is one of the better intros: http://cowlark.com/2014-04-27-ada/index.html

One of my favorite lesser-advertised features is the ability to return arbitrary-length arrays or sum types from functions without heap allocation due to the use of a secondary stack.


One of the more experienced embedded Ada devs out there wrote this: https://github.com/simonjwright/stack_usage

I’m not sure if it would meet your requirements or not.
