Do you mean that C is a concurrent language? I suspect that SofCheck has written a runtime that it makes calls to to support concurrency in the generated C code.

I said an Ada-to-C++ translator is impossible, unless you want to do what SofCheck has done and supply a portable runtime to support concurrency in the generated C++. What Jacob's needs are has no bearing on that. It may be that he's only using a subset of Ada, and so only really needs a translator for that subset, but that's not what he asked about. > Note also that Jacob didn't say a word about the target platform.

I'd like to know how to translate Ada tasking into portable C++ that will run on "any mainstream operating system". -- Jeff Carter "Now look, Col. Batguano, if that really is your name."
