Is there an Ada-To-C translator and where can I find it? I don't care about how it could be done or whether it's a good idea. Has someone already done this or do I have to write one myself?" This question has been answered many times on CLA, if you read CLA it is hard to believe you have missed these answers, but here goes again once more with the answer. NO! If you want to write one yourself, go ahead, you will need a full Ada front end to do it of course, and you could consider adapting the GNAT front end for this purpose. Be warned that if you are talking about a 100% translation, you are talking a project that will take person years of effort for someone who knows both languages and the GNAT front end well.
