The bindings I've built (I'm particularly thinking of my high-level NT service bindings) I have tried fairly hard to make portable. That's cheifly because *I* want to be able to reuse them, no matter what project or compiler I may find myself working on. However, that's quite tricky to do when you have to use importing pragmas, and don't have a second Windows compiler to try it out with. But hopefully my portability issues are confied to: o Using a particular convention name (eg: "stdcall") that may not exist on other compilers. (The only predefined one is "C", which is not what a lot of Win32 uses). o Assuming Ada's Address type is compatable with C pointers. For my interface types, I always use types from Intefaces.C.* (except record/strucs, which always get rep-claused). -- T.E.D.
