ISO/IEC 8652:2023

This document specifies the form and meaning of programs written in Ada. Its purpose is to promote the portability of Ada programs to a variety of computing systems. This document specifies: — The form of a program written in Ada; — The effect of translating and executing such a program; — The manner in which program units can be combined to form Ada programs; — The language-defined library units that a conforming implementation is required to supply; — The permissible variations in conformance to the rules of this document, and the manner in which they are to be documented; — Those violations of the requirements of this document that a conforming implementation is required to detect, and the effect of attempting to translate or execute a program containing such violations; — Those violations of the requirements of this document that a conforming implementation is not required to detect. This document does not specify: — The means whereby a program written in Ada is transformed into object code executable by a processor; — The means whereby translation or execution of programs is invoked and the executing units are controlled; — The size or speed of the object code, or the relative execution speed of different language constructs; — The form or contents of any listings produced by implementations; in particular, the form or contents of error or warning messages; — The effect of unspecified execution; — The size of a program or program unit that will exceed the capacity of a particular conforming implementation.
