[gps-devel] Features in public GPS

GPS supports spaces fine as far as we know. Maybe your underlying compiler
does not support them properly.

This has been fixed recently.

It does, assuming you have the proper version of the pretty printer and
a recent enough gnat toolchain.

Never seen this problem. A complete reproducer would be needed to investigate
this issue.

Note that if you are a supported ACT user, I'd suggest you report these to
report@gnat.com using your customer number.

If not and you are using GPS in the context of your work, I'd recommend
contacting sales@act-europe.fr to get the proper gnat pro toolchain and
support, since the GPS Academic edition is not intended to be used in an
industrial context.
