Re: Some Ada FreeBSD ports I wrote

How easy is it to get GNAT's symbolic tracebacks running, in FreeBSD ?.

I.e. the "GNAT.Traceback.Symbolic.Symbolic_Traceback" feature.

A debugger is not always a good option.

Those documents would be ignored by the FreeBSD staff since at the bug site
and not reporting bugs.

The Bindx software available from its homepage does not contain the text "BSD".

    Ada bindings to "X window (and OSF/Motif or lesstif)": 


Linux loses a lot of data, so having FreeBSD (or Windows 98) run GNAT is of
interest.

Skipping the details on how Linux will erase all data, without asking if that
is OK, and while typically producing too many errors in a nearly erased partition
to "ext2ed" edit away, I note that Linux can be runs inside of VMware. Then if
there is a small underdocumented hang during a shutdown appears (and where the
program doing that is not named), then the largely destroyed (ext2) filesystem
can be rolled back to a point where the data still existed.
