That's a thought. gdb is used with Ada just not so often. >> Why do they like to play Sherlock Holmes during hours to look for a >> bug? > > Strange. That would mean, Ada programs have no bugs. That is indeed No, did not say that. But I certainly do not enjoy that and I have far less this role when programming in Ada than in C++. >> Here are the real >> questions to me, again nothing wrong with Ada to me ! > > Pascal, you're person which a proven track record and a good standing > in the Ada community (whereas I'm probably better known as a constant > complainer, but hope that I have my reasons).

An application full of bugs, awful buffer overflows, unreadable... so I'm probably tired and have less control over myself :) Pascal.
