Ken asked

<<I've only just started learning about Ada, so I don't know how well
the C++ constructs correspond to the Ada features I have yet to learn.
But is it possible (or feasible) to make compatible those constructs
that might directly correlate between the languages?>>

GNAT provides for direct interface between Ada 95 and C++ (for example, it
can use exactly the same data structures for tagged types that C++ uses
for classes). The SGI implementation of GNAT is for example interoperable
with SGI Delta C++.
