> Honest question: do you have advice for debugging exceptions in GDB?***

Do you know about the "catch exception" command ? gdb will automatically br=
eak when an exception is raised. There could be a lot of these, so you can =
also try the variant "catch exception unhandled".
This doesn't always help to investigate what happened just before an except=
ion, so we have also started using the "rr" tool, which basically executes =
your program and records everything at every step, so that you can replay i=
t. There is a cost in performance of course, but not as big as one would ex=
pect.

Finally, going back to the subject of this thread (alternative IDEs), I jus=
t found the following video on AdaCore's website. It describes the new cros=
s-referencing engine in GNAT Studio, and how it can be used with other IDEs=
, in particular Visual Studio Code.
