The compiler front end, the GNAT Programming Studio (GPS) Interactive Development Environment, and the GNAT Tracker web-based interface all served as sources for the components. The GNATColl components complement the predefined Ada and GNAT libraries and deal with a range of common programming issues including string and text processing, memory management, and file handling. Several of the components are especially useful in enterprise applications.
