C++ with its inline functions, preprocessor and other stuff is an
extreme job for a binding generator.  A more practical approach (which
admittedly features some implementation difficulties) would be the
integration of a (partial) C++ compiler into an Ada compiler, so that
you can import C++ declarations into Ada code.
