hello,
maybe this topic has already been discussed here, but i can't find any
information about that.
i have a specific hardware (an i/o board) that i have to use in a system i am
developing. unfortunately, the manufacturer of this hardware knows nothing
about Ada and so gives only a C header file and the corresponding .lib file to
interface with the driver.
i know it is possible to import C functions into Ada through Pragma Import, but
the header file is somehow big and i don't want to make any mistake while
writing the functions definitions.
so, is there any piece of software which would automagically convert my C
header into a valid Ada package specification ?
(i am using GNAT 3.15p on windows)
thanks in advance.

Have you looked at c2ada (search Google for the URL) ?
I've never tried it, so I don't know how good or otherwise it is.

There is c2ada, of which I happen to have a copy.
If you want it, just ask by private e-mail

The version I have is prebuilt for Linux, but it can be compiled for
windows provided you install Python and a few other things.

You can also give cbind a try which is readily available for Windows at:
