Your concern being compilation time and efficiency whereas I was
thinking of my ability to transfer my C/Motif skills over to the Ada
lobe of my brain :-)
Certainly my example was from real code, but as it was my code I can't
say if it was realistic for others.
Was there a review of the bindings or where they just commisioned and
produced?
One interesting feature of them is that almost none of the examples of
X and Motif programming given in the literature work with a simple
translation of C to Ada since the type safety of Ada is so much
stronger (the C examples relying on unportable assumptions and silent
coercions).
