Opinions about documentation can always differ, but I trust that
Marin has a copy of the GDB manual from the FSF (this is available
either online, or in nice printed form, either from FSF, or at
your favorite technical bookstore).
This is an important source of basic information on the facilities
in GDB.
The information on Ada mode is certainly not complete (because Ada
mode is very new, and under continuing development), so there you
have to rely on the documentation that comes with GNAT.
It is also the case that the documentation for the GUI interface
(GDBTK) is also incomplete, although, in the tradition of GUI's,
the idea is that it is supposed to be easy to use without documentation :-)
Still we are busy generating more comprehensive documentation for the
GUI features.
