This is of course an Ada 83 style comment.

For Ada 95, there is no dependency in properly written code,
since you simply use the proper types from Interfaces.C to
match the float types in your C code, and you are guaranteed
portability, no matter what the definitions of the standard
types in the Ada compiler or the C compiler are.
