Command line for Ada version?

Question

I am looking for a command line to check for the version of my Ada installation. Any help ?

Answer 1

Since you listed gcc as your compiler this gcc -x Ada --version should work.

Alternatively, if you're using GNAT, gnat compile --version should work. This command should give you the version of GNATMAKE.

I'm not sure what the default language version is for gnat 4.4.1 (I use GNAT GPL, where it's still Ada 95). To ensure a particular language version, use the -gnat95 or -gnat05 switches. (Or -gnat83 if you're working with old code, or, if you're feeling frisky, you can try out -gnat12). – Vibration

@Marc C : Got that ! .... -gnat05 Ada 2005 mode (default) :-) ... thanks for gnat12 - did not know about that one ! – Bagnio

"gnatmake --version" If you want your version of gnatmake, should match up with the answer provided by Shark8. – Brooklyn

The "which compiler is this" command that I was told by AdaCore is "gnatls -v". This also tells you the compiler search paths. The end of the "gnatmake -v" output tells you what language versions are supported and which is the default. – Snowblind

None of these work on my CentOS 5.6 machine except gnatls -v. I only get the GCC version otherwise. – Bloat

Answer 2

Recommended way is: gnatls -v, output would be like this:

GNATLS Pro 6.3.1 (20100111-43)

or:

GNATLS GPL 2010 (20100603)

to get version relations between Pro, GPL and GCC, see here.
