You can build a DLL with GNAT, and then call it from C++. Or vice versa.
See Jerry van Dijk's page http://stad.dsl.nl/~jvandyk/ for more info.

You can use ObjectAda, which uses the Microsoft linker, and thus can be
linked directly with the MS C++ code. ObjectAda is free, at
http://www.aonix.com/ (although their web server seems to be down at the
moment!).
