GNAT Pro’s Integrated Development Environment

Tools you can use

GPS’s extensive navigation and analysis tools can generate a variety of useful information including call graphs, source dependencies, project organization, and complexity metrics, giving you a thorough understanding of your program at multiple levels. It allows you to interface with third-party Version Control Systems, easing both development and maintenance.

Robust, Flexible and Extensible

Especially suited for large, complex systems, GPS lets you import existing projects from other Ada implementations while adhering to their file naming conventions and retaining your directory organization. Through its multi-language capabilities you can also handle components written in C and C++. GPS is highly extensible; a simple scripting approach lets you plug in additional tools. It is also tailorable, allowing you to specialize various aspects of the program’s appearance in the editor.

Introducing Remote Programming

GPS, Remote Programming technology let’s developers connect from just about anywhere to just about ‘anyware’. Remote Programming provides a secure and efficient way for programmers to access any number of remote servers running a wide variety of platforms while taking advantage of the power and familiarity of their local PC workstations. Learn more about how your team can benefit from Remote Programing.

Easy to learn, easy to use

If you are a new user, you will appreciate GPS’s intuitive menu-driven interface with extensive online help (including documentation on all the menu selections) and “tool tips”. The Project Wizard makes it simple to get started, supplying default values for almost all of the project properties. Experienced users will appreciate that GPS offers the necessary level of control for advanced uses; e.g. the ability to run command scripts. Anything you can do on the command line is achievable through the menu interface.
