DEBUGGING Ada95 APPLICATIONS
Ada95 provides extensive I/O support using the Ada.Text_IO package (similar in functionality to C’s stdio library). With the package, you can add trace statements and print data values.
The Ada95 IDE also provides support for using either the GNU gdb debugger or the visual version VDI that is invoked from the GNAT Ada95 IDE. With it, you can examine code, single step, step into, watch variables, and set breakpoints.
