At least with GNAT you have

a) the line and file name of code and exception with "-g"
b) same info, plus a trace-back with addresses for "-g -bargs -E"
c) same as b), but a symbolic trace-back with the extra code.

The other compilers I know provide c) without any option or extra
code.

T. Moran, do you need a "ada.exceptions.except..." to obtain
c) on your compiler ?
