Fortunately - since some Ada constructs like nested procedures or visibility
of type and var definitions may render poor C (or other pre-Pascalian language,
even ++ised).

Another possibility would be to bind C++ and Ada. IIRC recent
GNAT (3.12 ? 3.13 ?) offers features in that direction. It could
be much simpler and safer than a translator.
