When I run the example (with no changes, using GNAT GPL 2011) it works
just fine :-).
However, (a) it's much better to debug using static libraries, (b) Lion
has made a sgnificant change to linking an executable, in that the
default behaviour is now to create position-independent executables
which can be loaded into store at random addresses to defeat malware.
I find I can run domexample2 under the debugger (including the ability
to set catchpoints for exceptions and breakpoints) by
$ gnatmake -P default domexample2.adb -g -XLIBRARY_TYPE=static \
-largs -Wl,-no_pie
This still gives the warnings about load commands...
$ gdb domexample2
