#gnat — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #gnat, aggregated by home.social.

  1. I may have gone slightly overboard with the #focusstacking, but it worked. Improved the lighting a bit, and returned the #frankenscope to the photo tent. Still more to be done. The long legs made me miss a few corners, so in the end that's ~250 stacks with a total of ~50000 captures, all for one #gnat. Might be a #mycomya from the antenna colours, tiger stripes and wing veination?

    Unfortunately, the usually excellent book delivery service for the public libraries went bankrupt, so I cannot just order keys from the universities. Might be I will find a key online. As usual, I'd be happy for any id help, as far as that is possible from the pictures.

  5. Two #blog posts in less than one week!

    It was considered known that there is no support within GNAT (Ada) for illumos. We cross-build a complete native binutils+gcc toolchain for illumos to test out this claim.

    ...only to discover that illumos has full support within GNAT. Not a single test fails.

  10. @adanskana AFAIR, this is the reason #GNAT is not distributed through #Homebrew either.

    Perhaps instead of GNAT, distributions could package #Alire ? [1] It can be used to obtain open source #AdaLang / #SPARKLang toolchains (including #FSF GNAT licensed under #GPL with GCC RLE) similarly to how #RustLang toolchain can be obtained with #Rustup . Alire is like a mix of Rustup and #Cargo, but for #Ada.

  11. Following my recent post about #GHDL, I was made aware that there is no bootstrap chain for #GNAT! For such a widely used and historically significant language like #Ada (totally not biased), it seems like a strange hole to be left. Plus, it would mean that GNAT could be included in full-source distributions like #Guix.

    Thankfully, there is an #NLNet project [1] just for this! I'm glad that there's some real resources being devoted to this. LMK if anyone has news!
