[gvd-devel] (no subject)

[Carlisle Martin C Dr USAFA/DFCS]

As pointed out by Gautier, -largs -g saves the b~ files.  I deliberately do
not do this, as their presence tends to confuse students.  In teaching the
debugger, I tell them to do "break name_of_main_procedure" then "run" at the
start.  I find this easier than trying to explain to the intro programmers
about the purpose of the files generated by the binder.

# Right, AdaGIDE is probably doing something like
# gnatmake main -cargs -g
# which is *not* equivalent to
# gnatmake -g main
# What is equivalent is
# gnatmake main -cargs -g -largs -g
# Even if I would suggest using the simple form gnatmake -g main # # Arno

Adding "-largs -g" in the "GNAT local options" indeed cures
the problem: gnatlink has a "-g" and GVD runs now with
every trees, subtrees and so on...
Woa, that's a sexy debugger 8-P !
Certainly an improvement potential to AdaGIDE (not difficult
to solve: only the "gnatmake" command to adapt a bit).
