Ada mode 8.0.4

Available via Gnu ELPA.

Requires Emacs 25.3 or greater. Compiling the required Ada code requires GNAT GPL 2017 or later; tested with GNAT Community Edition 2019 and GNAT Pro 20.

To install:

Enable packages in your ~/.emacs: (package-initialize)
Invoke M-x list-packages, select ada-mode 8.0.4, install.
In a bash shell:
```
cd ~/.emacs.d/elpa/ada-mode-i.j.k
./build.sh
./install.sh
        
```
These scripts use Alire; if you have it in PATH.

Access git repository, etc.

To clone the git repository, use "git clone -b org.emacs.ada-mode"; otherwise git uses the non-existent branch "master". After cloning that branch, run git_checkout.sh to checkout wisitoken, sal, etc.

Using the AdaCore ada_language_server (als) via eglot is supported, for cross reference (als does not yet support all the other features we'd like to have). als is installed with GNATStudio (which ada-mode will find by default), or can be built with Alire. If you build it with Alire, either put it in PATH, or set gnat-lsp-server-exec. To try it:

      (setq-default ada-face-backend none)
      (setq-default ada-indent-backend none)
      (setq-default ada-xref-backend eglot)

Not tested with lsp-mode. You can set ada-*-backend to 'other to expermiment with that, or tree-sitter, or some other backend.

Incremental parse is provided. It still has some bugs, so it is not enabled by default. To try it:

      (setq-default wisi-incremental-parse-enable t)

Please report success or issues to the ada-mode mailing list

Notes

Ada mode uses a parser for the indentation, fontification, and navigation engine. The tools used to produce the Ada parser are included in the ada-mode and wisi ELPA packages; the upstream development version is available from the git repository in the Emacs ada-mode savannah project.

WisiToken: The parser generator.
SAL: Containers and other utilities used by WisiToken.
