Hi Rick,

I would recommend tracing to "debug" what your application is doing (either=
 print messages to standard out or logging to a file). In a multi-task appl=
ication I've preferred tracing for a long time over stepping through code u=
sing a debugger like gdb. When using the GNAT Pro version of GNAT I've neve=
r had any issue with gdb and it has worked very well to step through code u=
sing it. However, rarely I've managed to get it working with the community =
edition and in my mind I've just thought about it like "if I want to use th=
e debugger dbg I should use GNAT Pro". Maybe others in the Ada community ha=
s had a more positive experience with gdb using GNAT CE?

Best regards,
Joakim
