In this paper we propose a technique to add a preprocessing phase to the GNAT front-end. This technique reduces time required to implement a high quality preprocessor and it facilitates the use of the GNAT front-end to experiment with Ada extensions. We briefly introduce the GNAT architecture, we describe our proposed technique and we present our proposed modifications to the GNAT sources to support it.
