Help with workflow

[Patrick <patrick@spellingbeewinnars.org>]

Hi Everyone

This is my first post here.

I need help mapping a enjoyable workflow from GnuCOBOL to GCC.

I love COBOL and with GnuCOBOL, I can compile one of my programs to 
intermediate C and then take the GnuCOBOL source code for the runtime 
and the C outputted and hop around though it using ctags.

It is great to write something in COBOL and then to see how it is 
actually implemented in the runtime in C.

I want to do the same thing with Ada.

This was my first attempt:

gcc -c -gnatDGL

but the output wasn't really that meaningful, it was basically just my 
program with no ctag links into the runtime.


I tried to create a little shell script :

gcc -c -fdump-tree-original-raw ada83_syntax.adb
gcc -c -fdump-tree-gimple-raw ada83_syntax.adb
gcc -c -fdump-tree-cfg-raw  ada83_syntax.adb

ctags ../*.[ch] ../ada/* *.original *.gimple *.cfg
gvim ../*.[ch] ../ada/* *.original *.gimple *.cfg tags

I was hoping that I would catch the top level C code and that it would 
help. It didn't seem to.

Could anyone help with what I am trying to do?
