pretty-print? and ada specific debugger?

[alan walkington]

Two quick questions:
  1. does a pretty printer exist under linux for gnat Ada95 files?

  2. the gdb which came with linux's gcc development system is pretty
Ada95-stupid.
       Is there a gnat-enhanced gdb I should be using?

Take a look at gdb-4.16.gnat.1.13.diff.gz in the gdb/
directory on any GNAT ftp mirror.
It provides better support for Ada95 in gdb.

you may try a2ps which is included in most linux distributions (RH, Debian)

as already said, you need to patch gdb, and AFAIK, even if you want
to use ddd (which uses gdb)
