"However, there’s a version of GNAT released by AdaCore called “GNAT Community Edition” which is similar to FSF GNAT but does not provide the runtime exception."

Ok, so if I download the GNAT Community Edition from Adacore, how I do switch GPS to use the FSF GNAT tool chain? How about the static analysis tools? Windows and Linux?

Everytime I look at Ada, I want to start doing a project with it. What a wonderful tool.

I added a note about how you can use the Alire 1.1 release candidate to install toolchains.

Toolchains are customizable within GNAT Studio. If you use `alr edit` your Alire-configured toolchain should be selected. I would check to be sure. I don't work on Alire, but that work last time I tried. (I've been using Visual Studio Code lately as my editor)

> Windows and Linux?

I've built and run several projects on Windows and Linux without a problem.
