In GNAT the compiler generates assembly code. With one exception that is "GNATBIND" program. Using the "-C" option, GNATBIND with produce its binder program in C. But that does very little for what most people want. A thesis, back in 1991 by Jeffrey Skinner, was in titled "Ada2C: An ADA-To-C Program Translator" but it seams that today, most "Ada2C" programs have more to do with homework assignments than actual working programs.
