Issue 6344: Ada Mapping of Sequences Too Heavy                                                                                                                                                                      (ada-rtf)
Source: Objective Interface Systems (Mr. Victor Giddings, victor.giddings@mail.ois.com victor.giddings@ois.com)
Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: The current mapping of IDL sequences to the Ada language results in a instantiation of a defined generic package. However, each instantiation results in roughly 150K of additional object code. This is excessive for embedded systems, especially if multiple sequences are used in an application. A lightweight alternative, such as the mapping defined for C++, should be defined.
