Hello,

I'm having trouble debugging my Ada code under the RHIDE environment. I
am using an Ada 'aware' version of GDB and the Ada compiler is DOS GNAT.

The problem is that the IDE doesn't seem to recognise any Ada variable
names when I set watches - instead I get 'variable_x: Not Available'
even though the variable is in the current scope. Stepping though the
code, non-conditional breakpoints and 'run to cursor' work as expected.

Maybe there's some sort of pre/suffix for variable names that will get
me around this problem?

Thanks,
Matt.
