Actually GNAT only generates 1 c file (and the newer versions don't even
have to do that).

If you had checked the documentation and/or stepped into the code a little
the ada would have
magically appeared... Of course I am assuming that you had the Ada aware
gdb....(And even
if you did not, you could still see the Ada source).

I do prefer the ddd interface to gdb...Makes it much easier to use when you
don't use gdb
much.

As always I would recommend consulting the super secret hidden information
about gdb and GNAT the the
files who's names can not be mentioned...
