Gnatmake and Source Listings

Gnatmake and Source Listings

[Jaime W]

I am using gnatmake to work on some of my programs for school at home.
One of the requirements is that I turn in a listing of my compiled
program.  A listing being a line numbered listing of my source code.
I can get gnatmake to display the main source code, but none of the
subunit's code.  Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,
Jaime Wyant

If you have access to a UNIX box,
	cat -n foo.adb >foo.lst
will give you a "listing" with line numbers.

Here we require electronic submission of the original source code;
in the past I've known students edit a compiler listing to delete
the error messages they couldn't fix any other way.

OK, if people are going to post such hokey answers, I will give the
proper answer here (although I really think that students (and others!)
should look this sort of thing up in the documentation :-)

use -gnatl, it gives exactly what you want, a listing with line numbers
(and interspersed error messages). It also gives the time stamp of the
source file (useful for grading purposes, put there in answer to a request
from one Michael Feldman :-0)

You need to get hold of gnatinfo.txt. It documents the option to achieve
this and many other useful capabilities with GNAT via compiler options.
For a quick list of these options, type gnatf with no parameters.
