Dear Gautier,

I'm afraid I don't understand your question.
I downloaded TDM-GCC-5.1.0-3.exe from the TDM website.
(I was directed there from GetAdaNow -Windows)
I understand that this is their installer for TDM32 MinGW edition with SJLJ exception handling.
I then downloaded gcc-5.1.0-tdm-1-ada.zip which is supposed to be Ada support with SJLJ exceptions.
I then downloaded the GPR tools from GetAdaNow.
Together I can use these to compile and build my Ada applications that seem to execute correctly.
However, if I raise an exception I only get the name of the exception and the message. The traceback is missing.
In the .gpr we have
   package Binder is
      for Default_Switches ("ada") use ("-E");
   end Binder;
The -E is required in order that you get a traceback.
The other packages in the gpr are
   package Builder is
      for Default_Switches ("ada") use ("-s", "-g");
   end Builder;

   package Compiler is
      for Default_Switches ("ada") use
         ("-O1", "-gnatQ", "-gnata", "-gnato", "-g", "-gnat12",
          "-gnatwcehijkmopruvz.c.n.p.t.w.x", "-gnatykmpM120");
   end Compiler;

MfG
