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
