I too find it frustrating at times dealing with interfaces.  This is not
unique to interfacing between Ada and C.  I have the same frustrations
interfacing with Delphi.

My greatest frustration usually comes from poorly documented interfaces
where some behaviour is presumed.  Sometimes it gets really ugly when
tasking (or multiple threads) is involved.
