Hi:

Im trying to debug an Ada program compiled with gnat 3.14p-3.
Im using "GNU gdb 5.3-debian" with gvd.

The problem is that I cant use ada expressions when debugging, I have to 
guess what identifier correponds to each variable.

If I finally manage to know whats the name for a structured variable (an 
array, a record etc.. ) and I print it, I get a strange structure, maybe 
GNATs internal representation.

Im using incompatible debugger and compiler versions?


Thanks in Advance
