Initialising the Ada string with others => some_non_null_character to force the C string to be as long as the Ada string was a work-around. gdb's not as bad as it was. Several of my colleagues use the DDD GUI front-end. We tried the GVD GUI front-end but it was unacceptably slow starting up, hope to try the new 1.2.4 release soon. ******************************************************************** This email and any attachments are confidential to the intended recipient and may also be privileged.
