Re: Ada to C translation

Meridian Software's Ada compiler has a "back end" which
can generate C, rather than machine code for the target.
This allows them to "retarget" to new targets quite
quickly, presuming the target has an existing C compiler.
I believe that their current Sun-4 compiler uses this
technology.  Meridian Software is located in Irvine, CA.
