Re: Ada95 to ANSI_C converter

[xanadu@ripco.com (Jennifer E. Lee)]

Dear Nick,

Thank you, what I meant is ANSI C now.
Because C is NOT an OO language, and C is only a subset of C++.
We can not convert C++ code back to C.
Our system is an HP Broadband System which only knows C and TTCN.
Since our project is about the side of 10K to 13K LOC.
We believe that using an OO language like Ada95 would be a plus
for us in term of debugging and integration at the testing phase.
If we want to use C, at least we will look into how to code
C like an Object-based language like Ada with "PACKAGE" usage.
However, I really don't know how to do it without using CLASS
and INHERENT definitions.
Could you share your .02$ on this?
Thanks. (A girl is crying for helps :^( ***)
