yes; Pretty_Printer is only supported by later (non-public) versions
of gnat.

report@gnat.com. 

But there's not much point; they are not going to change GNAT 3.15p,
nor are they going to dumb-down the public release of GPS. The
simplest thing you can do is wait for the next public release of GNAT.

Or fix it yourself, but that's a big job.

Better to use Emacs, rather than GPS.
