ACATS Test Modification List

ACATS Test Modification List

Version 2.5L
January 7, 2005

Changes from the last list:

C392014 includes an illegal discriminant constraint on line 181. Since the constraint is not used by the test, it has been removed.

C92005B assumes that the storage size of a task will fit in the range of Integer; this is not guaranteed by the Standard.

CXB3012 checks behavior modified by AI-242 (which was approved by WG9 in June 2002). The test was modified to allow either behavior. (Ultimately, of course, only the new behavior will be allowed.)

CXD4009 contains a race condition; the T tasks may make their second entry call before the Checker task finished processing the first set. The test was modified to use separate entries for the two subtests.

Note that there is no version 2.5I of the list. As ISO requires with the Ada standard, we do not use the letters I and O in version numbers, to avoid confusion when reading.

The ACAA would like to remind ACATS users that a base test suite update is not planned for the near future. There has been insufficient change to the test suite to justify the expense of developing a new baseline. The ACAA will give 90 days notice of a new baseline test suite, as required by the ACAA procedures.

New tests inserted between January 1, 2005 and April 1, 2005 will become required for conformity assessments on October 1, 2005. No new tests were inserted between January 1, 2004 and January 1, 2005. New tests added to the ACATS before January 1, 2004 are now required for conformity assessments. The effective dates of tests are marked in the lists.

List explanation:

Test numbers given are for the basic test. Categories are "Withdrawn" (the test should not be processed for Ada conformity assessments); "Allowed Modification" (either the original test or the modified one should be processed for Ada conformity assessments); "Modified" (the modified test must be processed for Ada conformity assessments); "Pending New" (the test does not need to be processed for Ada conformity assessments, but will be added in the future); "New" (the test is processed for Ada conformity assessments).

ACATS version labels are provided with all new and modified tests. Use this label to retrieve the test from the ACATS VCS. See "How to get new and modified tests".

In citations, line numbers are given relative to the start of a test file in the format of '@<line#,line#,...>'; if a test program comprises more than one file, then the particular file will be indicated by "fn", where "n" is the test-program name's file-designator numeral. E.g., "B38103E : @f1-31, ... " denotes test file b38103e1.ada. In cases where there are two or more rationales for different errors in a test program, these different rationales with their respective line citations are listed on separate lines. References to the Ada 83 & Ada 95 standards are given in the format:
<section|chapter>.<clause>[.<subclause>]:<paragraph>
These references are to the Ada 95 standard unless "Ada83" is specified.

        The Base attribute @70, 71, 72, 81 is illegal (the prefix is not
        scalar), and thus cases do not check the test objective.

        Check that checks are made properly when a per-object expression
        contains an attribute whose prefix denotes the current instance of
        the type (Technical Corrigendum 1, 3.8(18/1)).

C380002 [New] New VCS Label: A2_5B
        Check that an expression in a per-object discriminant constraint
        which is part of a named association is evaluated once for each
        association. (Technical Corrigendum 1, 3.8(18.1/1)).

        Pragma Elaborate_All (Report); was added @49 in order to ensure
        Program_Error is not during elaboration.

                  Required after 2005-07-01
        Constraint @181 is not allowed as the type has unknown
        discriminants by 3.7(26). It was removed.

C3A2003 [Modified] VCS Label: A2_5B
        Pragma Elaborate_All (Report); was added @92 in order to ensure
        Program_Error is not during elaboration.

B3A2009 [Modified] VCS Label: A2_5A
        Commented out subtest at @145, as it conflicts with the under
        consideration AI-229.

        This test is replaced by C456001.

        test conformance.

C45624B [Withdrawn] VCS Label: A2_5F
        The test objective is incorrect; the correct objective does not
        test conformance.

C460002 [Modified] VCS Label: A2_5B
        Pragma Elaborate_All (Report); was added @93 in order to ensure
        Program_Error is not during elaboration.

        (Technical Corrigendum 1, 8.5.4(5/1)).

C854002 [Modified] VCS Label: A2_5B
        Pragma Elaborate_All (Report); was added @83 in order to ensure

C854003 [New] New VCS Label: A2_5A
        Check that a renames-as-body only requires mode conformance
        if it occurs before the subprogram is frozen. (Technical
        Corrigendum 1, 8.5.4(5/1)).

                  Required after 2005-07-01

How to get new and modified tests:

The official home of the ACATS test suite is the ACAA web site. The site can be accessed from the Compilers and Conformance section of the Ada IC web site (www.adaic.org). It also can be accessed directly at www.ada-auth.org.

The complete set of official new and modified tests are available in the Mod_2_5L Zip and Tar files on the ACAA web site.

Individual new and modified tests can be retrieved from the ACATS VCS. Simply navigate to the appropriate directory (folder), and select the test you want. Select the revision you want (usually the most recent) and it will be retrieved for you. Tests are stored in directories that correspond to the test's prefix. For instance, the test CD92001.A will be found in the CD directory. You can also browse the differences between versions of a test. [In case of a conflict, the files in the ACATS VCS should be considered the 'official' versions.]

If you cannot get the files from the official site or you cannot get the files in a format appropriate for your processor, please contact your ACAL.

The baseline ACATS 2.5 is available in various formats on the ACAA web site.
