Anyway, you are not obliged to pollute your code with testing and/or
unportable pragmas. You can put them
in a file like "debug.pra" and compile with -gnatecdebug.pra .
Advantages:
- all your sources will be compiled with the pragma
- you can keep a debug/test version and also have a fast one without
changing source.
- you can use also another Ada compiler for release (or not...).
