#85063 - waivers
Responding to: ???'s previous message

i'm guessing that programs that required Ada granted waivers for C or assembly when 8051 targets were involved.


Admittedly off-topic, but waivers were granted to allow C and assembly language to be used for DSPs. Face it, you couldn't afford the run-time overhead of Ada when working with a TMS320C25. I don't remember if there ever WAS an Ada compiler for those DSPs. Getting your compiler certified was hideously expensive.
