As many people here will tell you, this is not possible in a general sense.
Ada has features that are not supported by C, such as tasks, generics, and
exceptions, to name a few. For this reason, you cannot buy an Ada to C
translator off the shelf.

If your Ada is restricted to features found in C, then you could write such a
translator, but it is unlikely that you will find an existing one that you can
use.
