ADA, GNAT, and GDB
Hello,
What is the status of Ada/Gnat support in GDB 5.x?
I found a patched version of gnat-gdb-5 lying around, but this is really
old (and buggy), and doesn't seem to support binaries compiled with Gnat
3.1:
>~/tmp/gnat-gdb-5/gdb/gdb ./mytest
GNU gdb 5.0.gnat.3.15w-41
Copyright 2000 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
Ada Core Technologies version of GDB for GNAT Professional

If you do not have a current support agreement, then there is absolutely
no warranty for this version of GDB. Type show warranty for details.
This GDB was configured as "i686-pc-linux"...Dwarf Error: Cannot handle
DW_FORM_strp in DWARF reader.
I would file a bug report on gdb, but there already are bug reports, one
almost 3 years old.
So I tried debugging my gnat 3.1 compiled application using Gdb in
Debian, anyway, and it seems incapable of doing even very primitive
stuff (maybe this is as a result of gcc 3.1 ABI changes?):
(gdb) b main
internal error - unimplemented function unk_lang_create_fundamental_type
called.
