ACATS Test Modification List
Version 2.6F
August 9, 2017
Changes from the last list:
Test C453001 was modified to remove the dependence on Ada.Containers (which of course is an Ada 2005 feature).
Many of the tests in ACATS 2.6 are incompatible with Ada 2005. ACATS 2.6 is intended for testing Ada 95 compatibility only; use ACATS 3.1 for testing Ada 2005 and ACATS 4.1 for testing Ada 2012.
No further new tests are expected for version 2 of the ACATS test suite (future development will be done on the Ada 2012 version, which is version 4.1 of the ACATS test suite). However, if a new test developed for Ada 2012 is appropriate for Ada 95, it may be added to this version of the test suite. New tests posted between July 1, 2017 and September 30, 2017 will become required for conformity assessments on April 1, 2018. New tests posted between January 1, 2017 and March 31, 2017 will become required for conformity assessments on October 1, 2017. New tests added to the ACATS before January 1, 2017 are now required for conformity assessments. The effective dates of tests are marked in the lists.

List explanation:
Test numbers given are for the basic test. Categories are "Withdrawn" (the test should not be processed for Ada conformity assessments); "Allowed Modification" (either the original test or the modified one should be processed for Ada conformity assessments); "Modified" (the modified test must be processed for Ada conformity assessments); "Pending New" (the test does not need to be processed for Ada conformity assessments, but will be added in the future); "New" (the test is processed for Ada conformity assessments).
ACATS version labels are provided with all new and modified tests. Use this label to retrieve the test from the ACATS VCS. See "How to get new and modified tests".
In citations, line numbers are given relative to the start of a test file in
the format of '@<line#,line#,...>'; if a test program comprises more than
one file, then the particular file will be indicated by "fn", where "n" is the
test-program name's file-designator numeral. E.g., "B38103E : @f1-31, ... " denotes test file
b38103e1.ada. In cases where there are two or more rationales for different errors
in a test program, these different rationales with their respective line citations
are listed on separate lines. References to the Ada 83 & Ada 95 standards are
given in the format:
<section|chapter>.<clause>[.<subclause>]:<paragraph>
These references are to the Ada 95 standard unless "Ada83" is specified.

C433001 [Modified] VCS Label:A2_6D Messages @85, 107 should refer to Second_Component and messages @88, 110 should refer to Last_Component. C453001 [Pending New] New VCS Label: A2_6F Required after 2018-04-01 [VCS Label A2_6E] Check that modular adding operators wrap around rather than raising Constraint_Error. [VCS Label A2_6F] Remove with of Ada.Containers and all uses of it, as it is an Ada 2005 feature. C460013 [New] VCS Label: A2_6A Check that null excluding subtypes do not allow null values: access parameters. Includes a check for the not null syntax as required in Ada 95 by AI-447. C460014 [Pending New] New VCS Label: A2_6E Required after 2017-10-01 Check that Constraint_Error is raised appropriately when converting access-to-classwide to another access type. B730013 [Pending New] New VCS Label: A2_6E Required after 2017-10-01 Test operations available for a private type; replaces test B74203E. B74203E [Withdrawn] VCS Label: A2_6E Replaced by B730013. C761006 [Modified] VCS Label: A2_6D Rewrite test to not fail if the deallocated object is finalized twice. (This is allowed by AI95-0179-1.) CB41004 [Modified] VCS Label: A2_6B Test case @99-107 should allow Constraint_Error to be raised, as per the Binding Interpretation AI-446. CD1009A [Withdrawn] VCS Label: A2_6E Has one of the objectives of, and thus redundant with, test CD2A31C (now CD30012). CD1009B [Withdrawn] VCS Label: A2_6E Has one of the objectives of, and thus redundant with, test CD2A21C (now CD30011). CD1009L [Withdrawn] VCS Label: A2_6E Virtually identical to, and thus redundant with, test CD2D13A. CD1009M [Withdrawn] VCS Label: A2_6E Virtually identical to, and thus redundant with, test CD3014C. CD2A21C [Withdrawn] VCS Label: A2_6E Replaced by CD30011. CD2A31C [Withdrawn] VCS Label: A2_6E Replaced by CD30012. CD30011 [Pending New] New VCS Label: A2_6E Required after 2017-10-01 Merges legacy tests CD1009B and CD2A21C to eliminate duplication (CD1009B has the same objective as one of the objectives of CD2A21C) while adding modern formatting and applicability criteria. CD30012 [Pending New] New VCS Label: A2_6E Required after 2017-10-01 Merges legacy tests CD1009A and CD2A31C to eliminate duplication (CD1009A has the same objective as one of the objectives of CD2A31C) while adding modern formatting and applicability criteria. CXAC005 [Modified] VCS Label: A2_6A The function @114-7 may raise Program_Error for some implementations of Stream_IO.File_Type. ===== Annex C ===== BXC3002 [Modified] VCS Label:A2_6D Declaration @103 is not illegal as Amendment repealed the relevant rule. CXC7001 [Modified] VCS Label: A2_6B Checks at @165 and @177 are backwards. ===== Annex D ===== [None] ===== Annex E ===== BXE2009 [Modified] VCS Label: A2_6A Package Ada.Finalization @140 is not a "normal" package. ===== Annex F ===== [None] ===== Annex G ===== [None] ===== Annex H ===== [None]
How to get new and modified tests:
The official home of the ACATS test suite is the ACAA web site. The site can be accessed at www.ada-auth.org.
The complete set of official new and modified tests are available in the Mod_2_6F.Zip and Tar files on the ACAA web site.
Individual new and modified tests can be retrieved from the ACATS VCS. Simply navigate to the appropriate directory (folder), and select the test you want. Select the revision you want (usually the most recent) and it will be retrieved for you. Tests are stored in directories that correspond to the test's prefix. For instance, the test CD92001.A will be found in the CD directory. You can also browse the differences between versions of a test. [In case of a conflict, the files in the ACATS VCS should be considered the 'official' versions.]
If you cannot get the files from the official site or you cannot get the files in a format appropriate for your processor, please contact your ACAL.
The baseline ACATS 2.6 is available in various formats on the ACAA web site.
