The GNAT Programming Studio in FreeBSD is at version 5.0.1, which is the latest that can be built with an Ada-enabled version of gcc 4.6. http://www.freshports.org/devel/gps home page: http://www.adacore.com/home/products/gnatpro/toolsuite/gps/ It's multi-language. The languages with graphical support by default are Ada, C, and C++. You can add support for any other language by added xml configuration files (see documentation). I haven't tried, but I suspect the configuration can be set to use clang for the C/C++ languages. It deserves a look by those seeking a language IDEs. John
