I used to work with it in C++ until a few years ago when switched to Visual Studio for that. I know it used to have problems with the Ada beautifier but they seem to have caught up with that. they are currently working on a new version and I follow their progress loosely in their forum, even reported a bug with Ada which they promised to fix for the final release. From my tests with the 2013 version it seems that it is already pretty good. the main thing that interests me there is the hierarchy tree (in C++ it would be a class browser) that shows all the packages hieraries for an Ada program and which provides a nice browsing feature. It misses stuff that GPS has, for instance it does not provide the parameter names for a subprogram call but for me that is worth less than a good browser. My main problem with GPS is that I quickly loose overview over my program because from my work in C++ I am not used to looking at it in terms of source file hierarchies but class hierarchy. --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
