Books to learn Ada generics?
Note also that much of the standard library is generic, so studying it can be instructive. There are also many free libraries available, such as the PragmAda Reusable Components that contain many generic units.

Ada How to print what file/line/etc... you are at?
What you're looking for (file name, line number) is very compiler dependent, and not portable. However, it's possible to get the current unit name portably and automatically; see PragmARC.Reflection

Confused about how controlled types work
You can use a "safe pointer" pkg such as PragmARC.Safety.Pointers.

Converting `Ada.Containors.Vectors.Vector` into C array
Conversions between vectors and their equivalent fixed arrays are missing operations in the Vectors pkg. You can use PragmARC.Conversions.Vectors for this. As is stated in the comments:

February 2022 What Are You Working On?
I did some work on Ada GUI and incorporated D. Norte de Moraes' 512- and 1024-bit versions of Threefish into the PragmARCs. I also prepared a presentation on Ada GUI for FOSDEM.

Introducing AURA - A(nother) native package manager and build system for Ada
I have looked through the documentation, and do not see how one makes existing code into an AURA repository, whether dealing with code on the local file system, or an existing on-line git repository such as the PragmARCs.

Can I find an extensive list of vulnerabilities that ada prevents? and how it prevents them?
Finally, a couple of Ada people are working on Ada-inspired languages: Guest's (Lucretia on here) Orenda and Carter's (me) King. You might want to look at what they think.
