With the exception of the SGI platform (well, there might be others), there is no halfway decent source-level debugger available for GNAT. Cygnus is busy integrating GDB with Tk, so there may be a chance to integrate Ada sensitivity into it. Paul Hilfinger, who did the work at UC Berkeley, indicated that the effort to integrate the "GNAT" changes to 4.15 into 4.16 would be "nontrivial". Perhaps somebody in the gnat.com domain would care to coment on this? -- Visit the Ada 95 Booch Components Homepage: www.ocsystems.com/booch This is not your father's Ada -- www.adahome.com <== Note new URL!
