Re: How do typical Ada calling conventions work ?

@Per : Actually, I already use this extended return syntax quite liberally in my code, mostly because I like its aesthetics better than the declare..begin..end equivalent : it is more concise, and simultaneously clarifies that the variable being declared will ultimately hold the function's result... :-)

Unfortunately, I'm using the 3rd edition of the Numerical Recipes book, which is C++-only. Also, I only have access to the book, not the code archive.

Besides, something which I may not have made clear enough is that this is mostly a personal exercise to work a bit on my Ada skills, not a project which I need to finish quickly for work or anything like that. So in this context, it makes more sense for me to carefully walk through the code, examine ways I could re-write it to use more idiomatic Ada constructs, have some fun with Ada 2012 contracts, and overall take my time.
