Using grep-find, I found gps-20.1/lal/core/lal-ada_languages.ads; apparently GPS is using libadalang for indentation.

I'm particularly interested in how well it handles syntax errors, compared to Emacs ada-mode. I have a test suite with syntax errors for Emacs ada-mode; I'll see how GPS handles that. If anyone has any annecdotes/comments in this area, please let me know.

I'd still like to compile gps from source, so I can trace into the libadalang syntax error handling and indent compute more easily.
