Use of c2ada by someone who does not know C

Use of c2ada by someone who does not know C

[karhof21]

This question is for those who are familiar with c2ada.

Are there any limitations of c2ada? Or can we expect all C programs to be smoothly translated into Ada?

Is c2ada a useful tool for someone who does not know C at all, and who simply wants to translate C programs into Ada code?
Or is some knowledge of C required?

Finally, are comments preserved in the translated code?


Thanks

See my last comment on this subject [1]; this was in reply to someone
who couldn't get "hello, world" translated.
