The better Ada compilers give a walkback in the string returned by Ada.Exceptions.Exception_Information, eg CONSTRAINT_ERROR Divide By Zero Detected On Line Number 7 In TEST.SOME_PROCEDURE Called from line number 12 In TEST and of course you can force an exception just to get such a string. If object X is some kind of descendant of a Gun, then Ada.Tags.Expanded_Name(X'tag) returns a string giving its full name, eg, Children_Of_A_Gun.Son Are those what you mean?
