Ada binding to the Boehm-Demers-Weiser conservative garbage collector.
- GCC >= 4.7
- Boehm GC >= 6.8
- headmaster
- Prepare the translated headers.
Translate the C headers with headmaster. :
$ headmaster --to ada -p -D import-dir boehmgc-ada/source/import.hHowever, it may not work well in your environment. The plan B is recommended.
- Download them from pre-translated headers page.
Add the source directories of boehmgc-ada and the translated headers to search path for gnatmake. :
$ gnatmake -Iboehmgc-ada/source -Iimport-dir your_main.adbOr please write .gpr file for your environment.
Link the translated headers to examples/import. :
$ mkdir boehmgc-ada/examples/import $ ln -s $PWD/import-dir boehmgc-ada/examples/import/$(gcc -dumpmachine)If this step is omitted, headmaster will be used.
Build them. :
$ make -C boehmgc-ada/examples
