Types of Ada 83 tools.

As for any computer language, tools for Ada 83 include editing services and compilers toolchains.

Other categories of tools are of special usefulness in Ada 83, that is cross referencing tools, and structure analysis tools.

Ada 83 has been specified for designing and implementing extensive software systems. Tools for displaying high level program structure are very useful, but choosing what aspects of the structure are to be displayed and how has never been very satisfactorily resolved.

An overview of such problems can be perceived by reading "A simplified graphic notation for Ada programs" by D.Sterne et al. Ada Letters, September/October 1989 Vol.IX N°6.
