Re: Ada Library, called, returns and continues ?

"Implementation of bindings or the way of using them? "

Actually both

"I see, it is difficult to learn how to drive a car. In order to ease the
process you decided to build a new car by yourself... (:-)) "

Actually both of the cases are due to my desire to understand the code I am writing even at the expense of power. I don't mean to knock the hard work of the GTk binding but it is difficult for new people to get started with it. Now I can manage(I might try again soon) because I have made progress with C/C++ in the past few months but I couldn't understand many lines in the examples a few months ago.

To pick one at random:
Cal : access Gtk_Calendar_Record'Class

Now I know this is a pointer to a C object but only because I basically get C/C++ now.

If there was a simple little Ada widget toolkit that only had a C/C++ core, then I think it would be very pleasant for newbies to program in, I personally don't like messing around with pointers. It seems to me that C and friends are so strong these days because of inertia alone. I would love to work with more Ada code that was not just a thin binding.
