NAME¶
asistant - interactive command-line ASIS tool
SYNOPSIS¶
asistant program
DESCRIPTION¶
ASIS is the Ada Semantic Interface Specification; it is an application
programming interface that allows Ada programs to inspect the structure of
other Ada programs. GNAT, the GNU Ada compiler, can parse Ada source text and
produce tree files suitable for use through ASIS.
asistant is an interactive command-line tool with a simple language that
allows you to inspect the semantic information about a compiled program. Thus
you can learn ASIS and try ASIS queries interactively before writing them in
your programs.
