Re: Newbie: Best Ada Compiler for MS Windows ?

Hi,

> Does raised ADA.NUMERICS.ARGUMENT_ERROR : ...

Perfectly good point and I don't disagree, but not my issue.

Handful of names on "cla" which it behoves one to notice.

Two of those names take contrary positions on a public 
forum and they do not seem as if they are going to explain
the situation.

One position leaves me totally at a loss. 

That position introduces extra code and then uses
the results of that as an example of user unfriendliness.

It seemed like adding a teaspoon of salt to a sugar bowl 
until the "Gautier" example showed me that the real issue 
was one of default traceback abilities.


Separate issue:

I gave up using traceback information several years ago.

Vague memories of Janus, Meridian (<- late 80's versions), 
DEC VAX, DEC OSF/Motif and Rational Apex error handling led
me to totally ignore anything but the line number and source 
file. The only traceback that I found useful was on Rational 
clusters which would take me right to the line in the source 
text (let me know when your "non-free" compiler does this, 
and I might consider buying it :-).

So please forgive me for not realizing the significance of
