Gautier says

<<The ``ez2load'' GNAT (PC) has a traceback utility without manual use of gdb
- showing parameter values, source code lines (even with generics).>>

Notice the very important qualification ("manual") here. Of course this
traceback *does* use GDB, and is a demonstration of the fact that such use
of GDB can in fact be made quite transparent if you wish (several people
have written to me to tell me that DOS gives tracebacks without using GDB :-)
