I've got the entire rest of the thing handled if I can get the symbol table and don't have an OS stopping me from reading addresses. I probably can't utilize a debugger because it is too much rework on what is already in place, changes the operating concepts dramatically and would probably introduce too much delay into things. The project isn't really for debugging so a debugger is simultaneously too much and too little and I don't want to complicate the issue. What I want is the symbol table. I'm going to start presuming that since nobody has said "All you have to do is type gnatmake xxx -largs" to get a symbol table...." that nothing in Gnat produces a symbol table - or that everyone is ignorant of how to make that happen. Its a pretty simple switch for XD-Ada to make one, so I have to believe it was never a concern for the writers of Gnat to produce one. Perhaps some other solution exists by reading/processing other artifacts that come out of Gnat, but it isn't obvious from here. I'll have to poke around a bit more, but my presumption at the moment is that a solution does not exist.
