This is surely because the natural mixing is the reverse:
interfacing C / assembler from Ada.
Some reasons, roughly:
- there are interfacing facilities in Ada language for C/C++, Fortran,...
- Ada has modularity, so an Ada package has a richer information
than that you find in an .o file produced by assembler/C/C++ or any other
macro-assembler;
- there are initialisation sequences in an Ada package;
- there are exceptions that should be able to be cascaded until the main procedure;
- you can choose the main procedure without calling it "main"
The thing you are trying to do is like interfacing C code into
a main program in assembler...
Hoping it helps...
