RTEMS Frequently Asked Questions
The Ada95 Language Reference Manual requires that the Ada.Calendar package support years through the year 2099. However, just as the hardware is layered on top of hardware and may inherit its limits, the Ada tasking and run-time support is layered on top of an operating system. Thus, if the operating system or underlying hardware fail to correctly report dates after 2099, then it is possible for the Ada.Calendar package to fail prior to 2099.
