Joel says
<<Currently as I understand it almost no Ada compilers can interface to
"real" C++ methods/types/etc. except for GNAT interfacing to GNU C++.
Plans are in the works for more of the GNAT style interfaces for other
compilers (like ours, though don't hold your breath).>>
No, this is wrong, there is nothing GNU C++ specific about the GNAT
C++ interface, and indeed the most extensive use of this interface is
in conjunction with the SGI Delta C++ compiler, which is not compatible
with G++.
In GNAT, a single runtime unit defines the layout of tagged types and
the dispatching interface, and to interface to a new C++ compiler, only
this one runtime unit must be modified (zero changes are required to the
compiler itself, it is not even necessary to recompile the compiler).
