[GAP] gnat3.15p + AdaCore's gnat environment

[Martin Carlisle]

I actually use AdaGIDE+GAP compiler.  The particular item needed to make
this combo successful is to be able to invoke the GPS debugger instead of
GVD.  To do this, I use the following small program in place of GVD.

I suspect when the project wizards in GPS become better that I won't feel a
need to use AdaGIDE instead of GPS.

--Martin

with Ada.Command_Line;
use Ada.Command_Line;
with Gnat.Os_Lib;
with Ada.Strings.Fixed;
use Ada.Strings.Fixed;

procedure Gvd is
   Al : Gnat.Os_Lib.Argument_List(1..2);
   Name : String := Argument(1);
   Result : Gnat.Os_Lib.Process_Id;
   pragma Linker_Options("-mwindows");
begin
   Al(1) := new String'("--debug=" & name);
   Al(2) := new String'(Name(Name'First..Name'Last-3) & "adb");
   Result := Gnat.Os_Lib.Non_Blocking_Spawn(
      Program_Name => "gps.exe",
      Args         => Al);
      
end Gvd;

Hello Peter,

I am afraid this may not be straightforward. Relatively recent GNAT versions
packaged by AdaCore for Windows can all be installed at the same time
without perturbating other distribs. I don't think this was already the case
for 3.15.

Why wouldn't you upgrade your students to the GAP release? (or the GPL
edition if you want them to be able to download it easily from the Libre
site)
