Thanks for this correction Robert; I hoped you were listening. :-) I think it would be a huge advantage for Ada to have a tool which could even semi-automate the generation of bindings to C++ code. However, I'm not about to volunteer to write one as all my free-software effort is currently expended on the glacial kUML project. (Hmm, reverse engineer C++ code into UML diagrams then generate Ada bindings from UML? Once the repository is done and the XMI input/output is working. *sigh*) -- Chris M.
