I thought the real problem described was X-windows callbacks,
in which case the Ada program does not have to do the jumping,
just supply the address. Typically one cannot deal with X-windows
from Ada without a binding to the various X libraries, and those
who wrote the binding will typically have worked out how to feed
the X-windows system on the machine in question. For DEC Ada on
VMS there are lots of lovely comments in the binding source that
explain the scheme.
