'''GNAT''' is a [[free software|free-software]] [[compiler]] for the [[Ada (programming language)|Ada programming language]] which forms part of the [[GNU Compiler Collection]] (GCC). It supports all versions of the language, i.e. Ada&nbsp;2012, Ada&nbsp;2005, Ada&nbsp;95 and Ada&nbsp;83. Originally its name was an [[acronym]] that stood for '''''G'''NU '''N'''YU '''A'''da '''T'''ranslator'', but that name no longer applies. The front-end and run-time are written in Ada.
