No, gnattest is not available in Debian packages at the moment. As you noticed the sources are part of the gnat-gps sources but for a version later than 5.1 (Debian currently has gnat-gps 5.0). > It's a synchronisation problem. > > gnattest is an ASIS[1][2][3] tool (it has to understand the program > structure). > > I'm pretty sure that the only ASIS sources we GNAT users get to see are > those in the GNAT GPL sources on libre.adacore.com. Debian has libgnatvsn, built from the GCC sources, to ensure synchronization between GCC and ASIS. > gnattest first appeared in GNAT GPL 2012 ASIS, and Debian is (I > believe) currently using the GNAT GPL 2010 version. More correctly, GCC 4.6 and ASIS GPL 2010 Edition, glued by libgnatvsn. >> If "gnattest" is really missing, is there any quick way to install it >> instead of uninstalling Debian's Gnat and downloading AdaCore's?

There is no quick way. You'd have to rebuild ASIS and GPS from sources using GNAT GPL 2012 Edition; gnattest would come as part of GPS.

I've already completed the packaging of GNAT 4.8 (with its libgnatvsn) for Debian. The next steps are to package ASIS 2012, a later version of GtkAda, and then (last) a recent version of gnat-gps. Usually, doing this takes me between 6 and 12 months. Now if someone would step forward and offer help... :) -- Ludovic Brenta.
