Is anyone planning to construct a formal grammar (suiable for input into a
parser generator) for the Ada 2005 language which could be published under
the terms of the GNU Public License?

If so, I would be interested in using this (for ECLAT, the AdaOS
compiler). If you would like, I would be happy to collaborate on
constructing this grammar.

I have a Ada 95 YACC grammar published under a liberal licence by
Intermetrics (now called AverStar) in 1994. I have already developed this
into a form that I wish to use for my own parser generator, which could
possibly form the basis of a public Ada 2005 grammar. Is anyone at
AverStar interested in publishing an Ada 2005 grammar or collaborating
with me on developing one?
