Did you try it with AdaGide with switch "Trace exception" set? Compile F3,
run F4.


No, I din't. But I've done it now without success. It seems that the
"Trace exceptions" option lets AdaGide to run the program through an
"AD" utility that interfaces with GDB. In my machine AD itself seems to
crash. Example:


(...)

This AD should disappear one day - I don't know if it even sometimes
works...

Looking at the sources I see that your original AD was written for MS-DOS, and that AdaGide contains a modified version for WinNT. But even the adapted sources have not been updated since 1999.


The solution to your problem ("the GNAT 3.13+ way") is, generically
written:


....[code snipped]...

Yes, this is an interesting alternative.


Of course you can do it without the generic wrapper, just paste
the exception part at the end of your main procedure.

I've put the message reporting code in a separate subroutine, called from the exception part of the main procedure.


The switches mentioned in the above code correspond to the compiler
switches "debug info" and "trace-back" in the "Debugging" group
of AdaGIDE's "Project settings" -> "Debug/Release settings".

Your post has alerted me about a new version of AdaGide. I was using v7.0, thas has a different set of options. After installing v7.3 I see a checkbox that enables/disables the usage of AD.

Thanks, a lot.
