The current status of GDB is as follows. There is a version of the latest Ada aware GDB that works correctly on NT, but it causes serious termination problems on Win95. We are working on correcting the Win95 problem (best guess is that Eva was really asking about Win95), and will release a publicly available vesion when this problem is solved. The termination problem results in total system failure, requiring a reboot, on some Win95 systems, so it is something that needs fixing before release. This is the new GDBTK version which has a full visual front end (it is similar in style to the Cygnus GDBTK front end, but we have done substantial enhancement work). The old GDB for version 3.09 will still work to some reasonable extent with 3.10p on NT, so you can go and dig that up and build it if you want. Our intention is that for the NT release, we will include a prebuilt binary version of GDBTK that will integrate smoothly with AdaGIDE. This works nicely on NT now, and several of our customers are successfully using this with 3.10b on NT. SO all that needs to be done is to sort out this termination problem, and everything should work well. We will make an announcement here on CLA as soon as this new version of GDB is released.
