Hi there,

I've been using CBIND revision 4 to translate tiny (one page)
C programs into Ada.  I recently noticed a problem that the
CBIND program incorrectly translates matrices.  For example,
in the C file:

 float          my_matrix[3][3];

becomes in Ada:

    type vector_of_c_float_t is
        array(integer range <>)
        of c.float;

    type matrix_of_c_float_t is                              
        array(integer range <>)
        of vector_of_c_float_t(0..2);

    my_matrix: matrix_of_c_float_t(0..2)(0..2);

The problem is with the final line, which should be:
    my_matrix: matrix_of_c_float_t(0..2);

Does anyone know if there is a newer version of CBIND 
out there which corrects this problem.  Or, do you 
recommend I use the "c2ada" tool to fix this problem?
My translations are really small, so I'd rather use
CBIND if I can.  

Thanks!
Viqar

Recently gained Ada experience:  
Ada9X RM and GNAT 3.09 do not allow underscores at the 
end of a procedure / function / variable name.  Why not?
