IIUC, that means that pure Ada programs work perfectly well but that
exceptions cannot cross language boundaries, i.e. if your Ada program
uses some C++ library that raises exceptions, then you cannot handle
the exception in Ada?  Big deal.

Otherwise, could you please elaborate on what you mean by
"stuck/confused"?
