The Ada compiler’s debugging messages (dmsg) now include additional information to aid developers. Missing attributes of Error_Msg_Object are now printed, and support for printing locations and fixes has been added via new dedit, dfix, and dloc functions. Helper functions for converting spans and file/line/column numbers to strings were also moved/added.
