It : has to generate really efficient code, but if it does, we might be able : to use it in the next go-around.) For this sort of market, we have a version of our Ada 95 front end which generates optimized, readable ANSI C as its intermediate language, and depends only on the standard C implementation of setjmp/longjmp to implement exceptions, tasking, abort, and ATC. We include #line directives in the generated C so that a normal C debugger will show the Ada source rather than the intermediate C source when debugging.
