Does anyone know of any sort of C-to-Ada translator?  I have only
sketchy details (and don't know Ada), but I understand that Ada has a
sort of self-documenter that parses the code and essentially figures
out roughly what it does (?!) to produce output useful for maintenance
and enhancement; I'd like to find a way to apply this parser to
existing C code (not for myself, but to pass up the chain to folks who
are in competion and want to be able to match the other guys...)

If anyone out there has any idea of what I'm talking about, I'd like
to hear about it-- even if they can't solve the problem, I'd be pretty
interested in how the parser works.
