Would you mind giving me an example?
Please consider the following C++ code:
===== header file
$ cat aleatorio.h 
#ifndef GUARD_aleatorio_h
#define GUARD_aleatorio_h

#include <unistd.h>
#include <ctime>
#include <cstdlib>

void iniciarSemente();
double gerarAleatorio(int a, int b);
int gerarAleatorioInteiro(int a, int b);
int arredondar(double res);

#endif

===== source file
$ cat aleatorio.cpp 
#include <unistd.h>
#include <ctime>
#include <cstdlib>
#include "aleatorio.h"
#include <math.h>

using std::srand;
using std::rand;

void iniciarSemente() {
	srand(time(NULL));
	//srand(10);	//gerar sempre a mesma semente para comparacoes
}

double gerarAleatorio(int a, int b) {
	return (b-a) * ( (double) rand()/RAND_MAX) + a;
}

int arredondar(double res) {
	return (res > 0.0) ? floor(res + 0.5) : ceil(res - 0.5);
}

int gerarAleatorioInteiro(int a, int b) {
	// verificar colocação do (int), parêntesis 
	float res;
	res = gerarAleatorio(a, b);
	return arredondar(res);
}

=====

From Ada, how can I use these h and cpp files to call, for example, 
gerarAleatorioInteiro(0,10)?
