The data sheet focuses on type conversions between Ada and C++.
It completely ignores conversions of Ada run-time and compile-time
error
checking.
It claims to make a conversion from Ada strings to the C++ primitive
string
type, which is the same as the C string type. This eliminates all
bounds
checking, all string slicing, and all direct assignment of string
objects.
A better conversion would be to the C++ String class, which is not a
primitive type.
The data sheet does not indicate how nested subprograms or packages
are translated. It also does not indicate how elaboration issues are
converted
to C++.
I see no indication that they understand Ada sufficiently to properly
translate
sequential programs.
There is also no indication they can translate concurrent programs.
