Some are quite crappy. Many Ada compilers optimize quite well, and some are quite crappy too. You really have to check into this on a compiler-by-compiler basis. > and popular APIs are in C or C++ and Very few API's are actually in C++. There are some, but C++'s name mangling makes them a pain to deal with if you are using any compiler other than the one that compiled the API. For C API's, I don't really care. I can call C API's nearly as easily as C code can using any Ada compiler, so why should I care?
