The data has to be passed, within one architecture, from Ada to C and
vice versa,
through files, tcp/ip "messages", calls to libraries.
The code (Ada and C) has to run on several architectures, it provides,
by instance,
interface to UNIX calls.
As an example, just consider that a file size, of type "long" in C, can
be
implemented on 32 or 64 bits, depending on the operating system.
Clear?
