Such a comparison is not obvious, it relies too much of the compiler's
optimization.
But Tartan who makes both C and Ada compilers for Digital Signal
Processors seems to like Ada much better than C to implement the same
algorithms.
see : http://www.adahome.com/Ammo/Stories/Tartan-Realtime.html
See is due to the fact that Ada gives a more abstract and precise
definition of what as to be done, compared to C who tend to stay at a
lower level. Therefore although it is easier to write a simple C
compiler, when it turns to optimization, Ada is much better.
Borland who made both C and Pascal compilers said the same. Pascal can
be seen as an "ancestor" of Ada, because it's syntax is quite close.
