Subject: C Integers -> Booleans: shortcut?

Hi,

Can you (in general) import a function taking/returning a C integer and 
treat it like a boolean for import?  Let the compiler deal with the 
difference?

Like say,

function is_broke (something : sometype) return Boolean;


pragma Import (C, Is_Broke, "is_broke");

with is_broke actually,

int is_broke (sometype something);


instead of going through

function is_broke (something : sometype) return Boolean is
begin
    return c_is_broke (something) /= 0;
end is_broke;


Cheers,
Chris
