Ada (or others) to C

[biesack@falstaff.steinmetz (david j biesack)]

We're interested in the problem of converting Ada code to C.
If anyone knows of any references, please send me mail; I can
post a summary if there's something to summarize.

Specifically, I'm looking at information about implementing Ada features
in C code, such as nested subprograms, dope vectors, exception handling,
etc.  I'm not worried about the parsing aspect - assume I'm already
working with an abstract Ada syntax tree. 

Things like this *must* have been done before... I'd welcome info
on translating other languages (Pascal, Modula) to C as well.
I've heard that some compiler companies started their implementations
by generating C code as an intermediate step - references to such work
would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks;
