I've found some typos, etc. in chapter 1 ("About This Guide") of the
GNAT Reference Manual.
Here they come in order of appearance:
#1
This manual contains useful information in writing programs using the
GNAT compiler.
s/in writing/on writing
#2
It includes information on implementation dependent characteristics
of GNAT…
s/implementation dependent/implementation-dependent
#3
GNAT implements Ada 95, Ada 2005 and Ada 2012, and it may also be
invoked in Ada 83 compatibility mode.
s/Ada 2005 and Ada 2012, and/Ada 2005, and Ada 2012, but
#4
By default, GNAT assumes Ada 2012, but you can override with a
compiler switch to explicitly specify the language version.
s/override/override that
#5
Throughout this manual, references to ’Ada’ without a year suffix
apply to all the Ada versions of the language.
s/’Ada’ without a year suffix/Ada, without a year suffix,
or
s/’Ada’ without a year suffix/’Ada’ – i.e., without a year suffix –
#6
However, since Ada is designed to be used in a wide variety of
applications, it also contains a number of system dependent features
to be used in interfacing to the external world.
s/system dependent/system-dependent
s/interfacing to/interfacing with
Maybe someone can take the time to fix these.
Thanks.
