Having the debugger "just work" was also one of the most genuinely
surprising and gratifying experiences we had during the early Photran
days. So yes, kudos to the debug dudes. We still owe you a beer. Now
Doug does too.

Subject: [cdt-dev] Proof in the pudding
Hey gang,
As I mentioned in the *DT bug report, I am playing with extending the
CDT to do Ada. I spent a half an hour this morning setting things up and
I was shocked at how much I got going.
Here are a couple of screenshots of the Editor and Debugger working with
Ada. I am using gnatmake in Standard Build as my builder and created a
Make Target to pass in the name of the Ada unit I wanted to build and
the -g option for debug symbols.

I created the content types for Ada's ads and adb files and hooked up
the CEditor to those content types. Obviously the CEditor doesn't know
about Ada keywords and there's no CModel populated for Ada things. But I
don't see this being too much work, and is something we need to do to
properly support things like gcc specific keywords.
The biggest surprise was that breakpoints and the debugger just worked.
A lot of this has to do with the multi-lang capabilities of gdb but also
with the fact that the CDT's debugger hasn't forced language on the
debug session, at least from what I can tell. Great work debug team!
Cheers,
Doug
