In addition:

For memory corruption, the memcheck tool of valgrind is extremely
valuable.  This is a rare occurrence in Ada but use-after-free can still
happen.

For race conditions, the helgrind tool of valgrind is extremely
valuable.  Again, a rare occurrence in Ada if you use protected objects
but not so rare if you use rendez-vous between tasks.

Of course, we're only talking about "complex" projects here.  That is,
technology sufficiently "advanced" to seem "magical" :)
