Here's the deal.  I currently have some Ada code.  Quite a bit of it.
The originators of the code had done some C interfacing with the Ada
code.  So, I have some procedures like the following:

procedure Write_Array( my_array : in My_Array_Type );
pragma Import( C, Write_Array, "c_write_array" );

The C function prototype from the header file I was given is:
void c_write_array( void *array );

In the C code is there anyway I can get the length of the incoming
array?  So, is Ada actually passing in a structure or an array?
Hope this clears things up.
