If you use C null-terminated char arrays, you can translate between
C strings and Ada strings using Interfaces.C. See your local header
file or the ARM for more information.
GNAT would let you interface directly with the C++ string class using
Interfaces.CPP. I don't think ObjectAda has a similar facility, but it
can't hurt to look.
