I don't know of one, offhand, but I would suggest not doing this in
the first place.  Any 'conversion' is going to be difficult to
maintain and not take advantage of the features of the language.  Over
the long term, a complete rewrite will be cheaper than trying to
maintain either the C (because you will have to repeatedly convert it,
correct the conversion, etc.) or the converted Ada (because it will be
an incredibly ugly mess).
