But the problems seemed more related to the dwarf-2 reader directly than with the Ada support, although it is admittedly a grey area. I've made the assumption that the gdb patches for Ada from GNAT/ACT are uninteresting for the gdb baseline, but this may not be the case? The patches for adding 4.17 are available in src/gdb-4.17.gnat.diff contained in the file ftp://ftp.cs.nyu.edu/pub/gnat/gnat-3.11p-src.tar.gz This includes ada-lang.c, ada-exp,c, etc. I'd certainly be happy if these made there way into the baseline for gdb (the stuff in the tar file is GPL'ed). What are the roadblocks to adding this to the baseline? -Brian Nettleton
