- Track: Ada devroom

GSH is an implementation of a POSIX shell developed for the Windows platform. The aim of the project is to speed up builds of GNU projects on Windows in a large automated build infrastructures. GSH can be used to compile projects depending on autotools, UNIX make, ... It is up to 2-3 times faster than Cygwin shells for GCC builds.
In this talk I will present:
- what makes GSH faster than other Windows shells for building GNU projects;
- how GSH was developed;
- how you can use it to speed up your builds;
- the limitations;
- what features of Ada we benefit from in this project.
