ACATS Test Modification List

ACATS Test Modification List

Version 2.4B
May 24, 2001

Changes from the last list:

C392013 contains an error; the result for the 9 = 9 case is incorrect. As this was a Pending New test, this change results in the test's required date being adjusted to January 1, 2002.

CB41004 was erroneously included as an "allowed modification" test in the 2.4A list; it is in fact part of ACATS 2.4.

Tests CE2120A, CE2120B, and CE3119A are withdrawn. The ARG has informally determined that the second sentence of A.8.2(22) is Implementation Advice. The ACATS does not generally test Implementation Advice, and the only purpose of these tests is to check this sentence.

The support file MACRO.DFS was modified to remove the substitution parameters for the three tests withdrawn above.

New tests inserted between April 1, 2001 and July 1, 2001 will become required for conformity assessments on January 1, 2002. New tests inserted between January 1, 2001 and April 1, 2001 will become required for conformity assessments on October 1, 2001. New tests inserted between October 1, 2000 and January 1, 2001 will become required for conformity assessments on July 1, 2001. New tests added to the ACATS before October 1, 2000 are now required for conformity assessments (and are included in ACATS 2.4). 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 Categories are "Withdrawn" (the test should not be processed for Ada conformity assessments); "Allowed Modification" (either the original test or the modified one should be processed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.

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_4B 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 2.4 is available in various formats on the ACAA web site.
