- ZLib for Ada thick binding (ZLib.Ada)
- Release 1.3
- ZLib.Ada is a thick binding interface to the popular ZLib data
- compression library, available at http://www.gzip.org/zlib/.
- It provides Ada-style access to the ZLib C library.
- Here are the main changes since ZLib.Ada 1.2:
- - Attension: ZLib.Read generic routine have a initialization requirement
- for Read_Last parameter now. It is a bit incompartible with previous version,
- but extends functionality, we could use new parameters Allow_Read_Some and
- Flush now.
- - Added Is_Open routines to ZLib and ZLib.Streams packages.
- - Add pragma Assert to check Stream_Element is 8 bit.
- - Fix extraction to buffer with exact known decompressed size. Error reported by
- Steve Sangwine.
- - Fix definition of ULong (changed to unsigned_long), fix regression on 64 bits
- computers. Patch provided by Pascal Obry.
- - Add Status_Error exception definition.
- - Add pragma Assertion that Ada.Streams.Stream_Element size is 8 bit.
- How to build ZLib.Ada under GNAT
- You should have the ZLib library already build on your computer, before
- building ZLib.Ada. Make the directory of ZLib.Ada sources current and
- issue the command:
- gnatmake test -largs -L<directory where libz.a is> -lz
- Or use the GNAT project file build for GNAT 3.15 or later:
- gnatmake -Pzlib.gpr -L<directory where libz.a is>
- How to build ZLib.Ada under Aonix ObjectAda for Win32 7.2.2
- 1. Make a project with all *.ads and *.adb files from the distribution.
- 2. Build the libz.a library from the ZLib C sources.
- 3. Rename libz.a to z.lib.
- 4. Add the library z.lib to the project.
- 5. Add the libc.lib library from the ObjectAda distribution to the project.
- 6. Build the executable using test.adb as a main procedure.
- How to use ZLib.Ada
- The source files test.adb and read.adb are small demo programs that show
- the main functionality of ZLib.Ada.
- The routines from the package specifications are commented.
