So what I do when I get a dump like this in the closed code-base is: Copy all required files in one folder then i put 60 minutes or so to reduce the code to a bare minimum that reproduces the problem, that way i could rewrite the offending code by hand on a computer with internet access and publish the problem. And when working on code intended for the internet i got no problems what so ever to send the complete set of files (however, some small effort usually reduces the amount quite a bit) and i find it decent to do that initial work before i send a report. And in my opinion to report problems on "open software" with good quality reports is for certain within the price-range of a hobbyist and everyone benefits from it. /P On 08/11/18 03:06, Roger wrote: > I'm often getting this: > +===========================GNAT BUG DETECTED==============================+ > | Community 2018 (20180523-73) (x86_64-apple-darwin16.7.0) GCC error: | > | in gnat_to_gnu_entity, at ada/gcc-interface/decl.c:2985 | > | Error detected at gl.ads:27:53 | > | Please submit a bug report by email to report@adacore.com. | > > I usually get around it by rearranging code or finding just where in my code the bug is getting generated and working on something else for a while. > The bug request asks me to provide a large number of files which I'm not happy to do as in the past of had little success in submitting such bug reports. > Any recommendations. > Perhaps use a different Ada compiler? >
