Can Ada exceptions cross C functions? E.g. if an Ada subprogram called
a C function, which called an Ada subprogram which raised an exception,
would the exception propagate across the C void?
If they don't (and pragma import of external language elements is
basically incompatable with exceptions) then couldn't you just
translate all Ada subprograms into equivalent C functions but with
an extra exception paarameter?
