<h5 class="subsubsection">15.4.7.4 Stopping at the Very Beginning</h5>

<p><a name="index-breakpointing-Ada-elaboration-code-867"></a>It is sometimes necessary to debug the program during elaboration, and
before reaching the main procedure. 
As defined in the Ada Reference
Manual, the elaboration code is invoked from a procedure called
<code>adainit</code>.  To run your program up to the beginning of
elaboration, simply use the following two commands:
<code>tbreak adainit</code> and <code>run</code>.
