There is at least a Pascal to Ada translator, which also (or in a
special edition) accepts Borland Pascal source code.  It may also have
been modified to accept Delphi source code.

PasTran does Pascal-to-Ada, of course, and we've done custom versions for
various clients and various Pascals, but we've never had anyone ask for
Delphi. We could of course do a custom version, but their would need to be a
quite a bit of code to translate to make it economic.

* Swapping Ada 95 and Delphi code between the DLL and the EXE file ? *

Has anybody succeed in putting Delphi code inside of a DLL and
getting it called by a GNAT Ada 95 main program (inside of a *.exe
file) ?.

Since attaching to a DLL slows down debugging very significantly, it
would be preferred to have these 2 versions of the software:

 (1) Ada is in the *.exe file;
 (2) Delphi is in the *.exe file.

Any URLs saying how to put Delphi GUIs inside of DLLs ?.

Yes, I have about 2 years ago, using Delphi 3 and gnat 3.15a1. It took a 
while to figure out how to generate the files required by gnat. 
(.lib-files?). All the tools needed was available with gnat. I also 
think I remember

No, Did this with Delphi 1 in 1995 (called from a VB3 app). Never caused 
any problems. Autocreate of forms naturally won't work. You create an 
procedural interface that call the form-stuff inside the DLL.

You should also be able to create an ActiveX interface that you can use 
from Ada, but all my attempts to do this has resulted in loads of 
unreadable code that worked but was not reliable. I guess it leaked 
memory but I could never find the leaks. Do a web-search for a package 
called gnatcom. It contains the stuff you need for Ada/COM interfacing.

Sorry for not beeing able to be very precise. I really don't remember 
how I did most of this stuff.
