CS Parts is a collection of reusable Ada software
components that was put together from (1) items in the ASR
and (2) new items written to meet specific needs not found
in the ASR. It was developed originally to support courses
in Software Engineering with Ada, and it has been used on
several DoD projects as well.
CS Parts include several different kinds of components:
1. components that implement useful data structures,
such as binary trees, B+ trees, C strings, dynamic arrays,
dynamic strings, linked lists (single and double), queues,
and ordered sets
2. components that provide a number of math routines,
such as bit manipulation, matrix and vector manipulation,
algebraic and trig functions, permutations, and random
number generators
3. components that support string manipulation, such
as case sensitive and insensitive string comparison,
character set testing, string parsers, string searches,
and many different kinds of string manipulation (such as
insertion and removal of substrings)
4. components that support output reports in various
forms, such as screen displays (with cursor positioning
and color), unit test logs (which note test results and
other data), and formatted report generation (with page
headings, footers, automatic numbering, underlining,
bold facing, and other options)
5. components that support command line interfacing,
such as a UNIX-like ARGC/ARGV facility and an include
file processing facility
6. components that support file generation, including
various forms of text and binary files.
Documentation includes a Software User's Manual (SUM) and
a Version Description Document (VDD) in DoD-STD-2167A format
(built from the DoD-STD-2167A templates in the ASR).
All Ada package specifications are compliant with the
proposed MIL-HDBK-1804 (also available in the ASR). The
Portable Text Formatter (PTF) from the ASR and the PAL is
required to assemble the documents.
CS Parts is the core reusable components library used to
support many ASR- and PAL-specific tools. The files associated
with CS Parts include:
CSPARTD.SRC -- a PAGER2 file containing the SUM and VDD,
where the VDD contains instructions for compiling the parts
CSPARTS.SRC -- a PAGER2 file containing the Ada specs
of the parts in compilation order
CSPARTBn.SRC -- 3 PAGER2 files containing the Ada bodies
of the parts in compilation order (numbered 1, 2, 3)
CLIBODY.SRC -- a PAGER2 file containing many alternate
implementations of the Command Line Interface package
body for a variety of target Ada compilers and platforms
Included is an interactive reader for users of CS Parts.
This reader allows a user to scan the specifications of the
components online, doing string searches, printing out selected
information, reviewing the error messages, etc. This reader
is the same basic architecture as the readers for the Ada 83
and Ada 9X Reference Manuals, so users will find the usage of
all three readers to be similar.
The file csp_pc.zip contains a ready-to-run executable of
the CS Parts Reader. The file csp_rdr.zip contains the source
code. Both *.ZIP files contain the file qstart.txt, which is
a tutorial on the use of the reader.
