Abstract

This paper describes the aspects of the Ada compiler for the Air Force Ada Integrated Environment (AIE) that are concerned with sharing code among generic instances. Sharing is achieved by forming equivalence classes of generic instances and sharing executable code among members of the class. This approach achieves the required efficiency for embedded applications while minimizing the storage consumed by the executable code of generic instances.
