  • Big differences between gnatmake and gprbuild

    From Doug Telford@21:1/5 to All on Sun Dec 26 17:39:44 2021
    I am using gnatmake 9.3.0 and gprbuild community edition 2021. The Ada executable from gnatmake is about 50% smaller than that of gprbuild and runs much slower than the gprbuild version. Is gnatmake deprecated, obsolete, or not maintained?

    It looks like the compiler, linker & binder options that, in your case, gnatmake sends to GNAT, are different than those gprbuild sends, especially optimization options.
    What are the command line options to gnatmake you are using ? And to gprbuild ? _________________________

    I think part of the problem is the version of gnatmake. Version 9.3.0 is vintage 2019. I am not sure how I got this version. When I use the gnat community 2021 version of gnatmake, then everything was ok.

    If you give current gnatmake a project file, it will delegate to
    gprbuild if it's present.
