there is also no reason not to use gdb without emacs, if you are so
inclined.  i love emacs, but this shouldn't be an impediment for those who
don't.

gdb steps into and over ada statements, and even switches languages for you
when your ada program imports c routines or exports subprograms that are
called by c functions.  you can also examine most simple ada structures and
even some complex ones if you have a little patience.
