Re: GDB w/GNAT 3.11p w/NT4.0 Question

Here is a small program that will show this behavior.

with Text_Io;
procedure Show_Debugger_Problem is
    Line : String(1..100);
    Length : Natural;
begin
    Text_Io.Put("Enter Line : ");
    Text_Io.Put_Line(Item => Line, Last => Length);
    Text_Io.Put_Line("You Entered " & Line(1..Length));
end Show_Debugger_Problem;
