c2ada running problem

[Henrik Quintel]

Dear all,
Peter helped me fine. c2ada is now running on my system.
The problem that comes up is that it ony translates small files
but no large ones. c2ada doesn't accept C comments in any way.
It doesn't accepts empty lines. A lot of strange things happens.
A typical "hello world" program is translated, but in other cases
it doesn't. If ahve the readme file and the HTML documentaion many
times but I don't know what to do.
If someone has a c2ada compiler that works, is it possible that I send
you the sources of my C programs (3 .c files and 4 .h files, very
small!).
On the other hand side it seems that c2ada primary translates the header
files.
In some cases it hangs and I have to kill the associated process.
Strange, strange.
Perhaps someone can help me!

Thanks for all.

Greetings Henrik

I have not used c2ada in a long time, but I believe its purpose is to
generate Ada bindings to C header files, not to generally translate C
programs into Ada.  Your experience supports this.

  That sound curious because on the webpage c2ada.html they say that c2ada
translates header files and bodies. BTW, small C programs like a "hello world"

are translated by c2ada perfect.

Thanks for all.
