I'll speculate that SofCheck's AdaMagic (emitting C or C++)
is available in some form for Macs. (A picture shows one of
its authors with a Mac in front of him.)

And it likely has Integer'Size >= 32. But see below.

I understand that Janus/Ada produces 32 bit executables for Win32,
but that its Integer'Size = 16. What size of int does the Windows ABI
suggest?
