Ada Issues

Ada Issues are developed by the ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG9 Ada Rapporteur Group (ARG) in response to comments on the Ada standard (and related standards) from the general public. These comments usually concern possible errors in the standard. The ARG is tasked with resolving the errors, and the Ada Issues are the result. (To submit a comment, use the ones of the ways described in the Ada Standard, or see below).
Ada Issues are grouped by the standard which they are for. (For this purpose, Corrigendum 1 for Ada 95 is grouped with the Ada 95 standard, and Corrigendum 1 for Ada 2012 is grouped with the Ada 2012 standard.) For newer classes of issues, this site contains downloadable versions of the entire set of issues and important subsets. It also contains the master version control system for most classes of Ada Issues. Any version of an Ada Issue document (since April 1998) can be downloaded from the version control system.
See the ARG Procedures document for more information on this process. trap Keep in mind that some issues are still under consideration, and may change significantly before final approval.

Commenting on the Standard

Comments can be sent to the ARG in one of three ways:
  • by creating a new "issue" on the ARG GitHub site:
    The ARG Github site is a place to send and discuss technical comments on the Ada Standard. It is not the place to ask questions about specific Ada compilers, Ada programming problems, or Ada tools. (Such questions are best sent to the comp.lang.ada newsgroup or other social media avenues.) The site is open to the public.
  • via e-mail to the Ada Comment mailing list.
    The mailing list is another place to send and discuss technical comments on the Ada Standard. The list is open to the public. Details for joining the list as well as other information on the list are found here.
  • by filling out a web form at:
    The web form just populates a Github Issue, so it it preferred to directly create such an issue if you are already familiar with using Github. When you directly create an issue, you will get e-mails when people post comments to your issue, so you can more easily respond to questions and criticisms.
