ACATS Test Modification List

ACATS Test Modification List

Version 3.0F
October 1, 2008

What is this?

This the ACATS test modification list for ACATS 3.0. This document includes test corrections, test removals, and new tests for ACATS 3.0. ACATS 3.0 is the test suite for the current version of Ada (often known as "Ada 2005") that became current with the approval and publication of Amendment 1 by ISO as ISO/IEC 8652:1995/AMD 1:2007.

ACATS Test Modification List version 2.6C for ACATS 2.6 remains current for that test suite. ACATS 2.6 should be used for testing Ada 95 implementations, and will continue to be maintained as necessary for the foreseeable future.

Changes from the last list:

As this is the first list of a new quarter, some tests have changed status. Check the lists for details.

Tests C3A0021 and C3A0024 are corrected in order to eliminate default-initialized null-excluding access objects (which always raise Constraint_Error).

Test B3A1A01 was corrected to remove duplicate names and incorrect test cases.

Test B831001 has a renames that attempts to rename a previously incorrect declaration. The ACATS is not about the quality of error recovery, so this was eliminated.

New test CC30003 tests that types derived from generic formal tagged private types inherit primitive routines properly.

New tests B3A1005 and B3A1A04 test that rules 3.10.1(9.3/2) and 3.10.1(9/2), respectively, are enforced properly.

New tests that originated in the ACATS 3.0 release are required for conformity assessments using ACATS 3.0. New tests inserted between October 1, 2008 and January 1, 2009 will become required for conformity assessments on July 1, 2009. New tests inserted between July 1, 2008 and October 1, 2008 will become required for conformity assessments on April 1, 2009. New tests inserted between April 1, 2008 and July 1, 2008 will become required for conformity assessments on January 1, 2009. New tests inserted before April 1, 2008 are now required for conformity assessments. The effective dates of tests are marked in the lists.

Notice:

The ACAA has created and maintains the Ada Conformity Assessment Test Suite for the purpose of conformity assessments conducted in accordance with the International Standard ISO/IEC 18009 - Ada: Conformity assessment of a language processor. This test suite should not be used to make claims of conformance unless used in accordance with ISO/IEC 18009 and any applicable ACAA procedures.

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 standards are given in the format:
<section|chapter>.<clause>[.<subclause>]:<paragraph>
These references are to the consolidated Ada standard as available at http://www.adaic.com/standards/05rm/html/RM-TOC.html.

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_3_0F.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 3.0 is available in various formats on the ACAA web site.
