I think the reason why gdb doesn't work with Ada is because of the changes in gcc, but I'm not sure about this. Somebody else will probably explain it correctly. Now that Ada is included in the gcc, things ought to be easier though. At any rate there is a patch made by Adian Skinner for the 5.2. I hope the patch gets accepted can be maintained so that gvd and gps will be able to work with the gdb and that one do not have to have a special version of gdb for Ada. -- Preben Randhol ---------------- http://www.pvv.org/~randhol/ -- "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent", Isaac Asimov
