Subject: Ada to C translator for small microcontrollers

Hi all,

As there exists at least one free decent C cross-compiler for smaller
8-bit and 16-bit architectures (Pic, Avr, 8051 etc.), but none Ada
compiler that I know of, I was wondering whether there is a demand for
an Ada to C translator, that would implement some sort of Ada subset
and output corresponding ANSI C source code. I am not a compiler or
Ada expert, so I cannot really estimate the effort how hard this would
be.

As far as I can see the problem, the first thing is to identify a
suitable subset(s) to be implemented, and then to come up with the
corresponding C source idioms.

Any comments on this subject?

Br,
Kalvin.
