Implementation Modules
Note to the reader (September 1993): Much of the material in these implementation modules is out of date. Please refer to the most recent (Annotated) Ada 9X Reference Manual (version 3.0) for the definition of the semantics for the features. However, many of the implementation models suggested still apply, even though the definitions of the features have been improved and tightened over the past two years. Note that the "MI"s (Mapping Issues) referenced are not widely available, but the relevant material has all been extracted either into the various Ada 9X Rationale documents or the Annotated Ada 9X Reference Manual.
