[Gautier de Montmollin]

Hello!

Here are some suggestions and bugs.
The version I tested is 1.2.5 for Win32, this for GNAT 3.14p & GDB
and under NT 4.

Suggestions
===========

S1) GVD could include the source of the main procedure
    in the sources tree.

S2) GVD could display at once the source of the main procedure
    (instead of nothing)

S3) When one wish to start running a program step by step
    GVD could jump to the first instruction (by placing a provisory
    breakpoint ? anyway, with the technique of "Continue Until Line..."),
    it could be nicer than the dry "The program is not being run" message
    by GDB.

S4) For choosing sources (File/Open Source...) the box could offer
    filters (Ada files: *.ads, *.adb, ... | C files: ...)

S5) Add a list of recent files, especially sources, e.g. in the menu
    "File"

Bugs
====

B1) "File/Close" then "File/Open Source..." displays
    "Unexpected internal error, please report"

B2) GVD doesn't find sources that the GNAT compiler finds
    (e.g. the a-except.adb etc.). Possible reason:
    in addition to ADA_INCLUDE_PATH, GVD should look
    into the registry:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ada Core Technologies\GNAT\Standard 
Libraries

Cheers
