crossplatform

To support multiple platforms in C/C++, one would use the preprocessor to enable conditional compiles. E.g.,

#ifdef _WIN32
  #include <windows.h>
#endif

How can you do this in Ada? Does Ada have a preprocessor?

It needs to be accurate and it needs to return a float for precision. So how do I determine the modulus of a Float in Ada 95? elapsed := time_taken mod… >>> More
