Polar asks:

"Can anyone give me a pointer to an Ada to C language translator that
 *supports Ada tasking*.

I am getting the impression that GNAT does not. However, I would prefer
C to C++ as that C++ would just require yet another compiler."

The comment on GNAT seems to suggest that GNAT might be an Ada to C
translator. It is most certainly nothing of the kind, it is an Ada
compiler, and no more relevant to the issue of translating Ada to C
(with or without Ada), than any other Ada compiler.

Doing an accurate translation of tasking Ada to C would be a big job,
since you would have to have a complete, and usable, version of the Ada
tasking support library written in C.
