Description

REQUIRED PATCH SERIES IDs:
    Starting with Apex 4.0.0, most Native and Embedded patches have a
    SeriesID associated with them. Specifying a SeriesID as a
    prerequisite for installation as opposed to a PatchID prevents
    prerequisites from becoming obsolete as new patches are created.
    SeriesIDs are text strings -- eg runtimes, views, etc -- and are
    listed next to the PatchIDs at
    ftp://ftp.rational.com/patch_info/index.html

    Before installing this patch, you must install a patch from
    each of the following product-series:
      Apex Native: series sun4_solaris2 [patchID 20010710 or later].
      This product: series runtimes [patchID 20010905 or later].

This patch fixes the following:

Defect RATLC00151031:

The Applied Micro Circuits Corporation (AMCC) 440EP variant of the
PowerPC processor has an instruction set similar to the PowerPC 603
supported by Rational Ada Embedded Developer. However, it does not
implement recording floating point instructions such as fadd. (note
the '.' in the mnemonic, which is what distinguishes this from the
non-recording fadd). The Apex PowerPC code generator makes extensive
use of recording operations to simplify floating point code.

This patch Rational Ada Developer 4.0.0 for LynxOS PowerPC views that
contain the compilation switch:

CODER_OPTIONS: -INFO SUPPRESS_RECORDING_FP_INSTRUCTIONS:TRUE

and that have been compiled with a code generator that recognizes this
switch. Floating point code in these views avoids the use of
recording floating point instructions and can be executed on the
PowerPC 440EP. This code is also compatible with the PowerPC 603 and
equivalent processors, though it is somewhat less efficient than
unrestricted code.

----------------------------------------------------------
The following were fixed in earlier patches. The fixes are
included in this patch as well.

Defect PEBU00007432:

Default TestMate switch settings are now provided for the delivered
testmate.ss views.

Defect PEBU00007444:

The correct TMS I/O model is now provided for LynxOS targets. Coverage
output is now dumped to file by the harness. (Previously, the memory-
mapped method used for Rational Exec was incorrectly provided.)

Defect PEBU00007522:

stream_io.index and stream_io.set_index incorrect in predefined.ss views.

When reading, the function Index incorrectly returned the index of the
last byte read into the buffer, instead of the last byte actually read
by the user program. When reading, Set_Index had no effect if it
tried to set the index immediately after the last byte was read into
the buffer.

Defect PEBU00007599:

The tm_examples.ss views were missing example ada files and test cases.

Defect PEBU00007624:

The default output files in the tm_examples.ss views reflect an
obsolete message in the TestMate log. Specifically, the message indicating
the coverage kind has changed from a 'positive' message to the more correct
'note' message.
