At the moment all the function on the Ada side does is something like

type c_data_type is array(0..8) of Interfaces.C.Char;

function ADA_Func( data: c_data_type ) return Interfaces.C.Int is
begin
  text_io.put_line("Here we are :) ");
 return 0;
end ADA_Func;

The data being passed in is from a a function calll in the thread in the C
dll code, so really it shouldnt be much different from the thread calling
a normal operation ?
