Translating complex Ada code to C is a difficult task under the
best of conditions, but trying to do it if you do not know Ada is
likely to be close to impossible. I recommend a thorough study of
Ada (work through one of the online tutorials, and in particular
read a good Ada text book describing the use of tagged types).
