I don't really know how GCC is the backend for GNAT. Does gcc translate
Ada code into c and then compile c into machine language, or is it from
Ada code directly to machine language code? I'm just curious, and since I
don't have gcc installed, I was wondering if someone can either explain
this or direct me to a place where I can find this out for myself. Thank
you for any help.
