Re: Pragma Import to C "Accept" function?

Al Priest asks

<<I'm looking for a "nice" way to interface to the C accept function. Given
it's clash with the reserved word accept, is there a good way to interface
to the function? Currently the only way I can do it is by writing a C
function to interface to the accept, and then interfacing to that in my
Ada program.>>

No one ever said you must use the same name on the Ada side as on the
C side. It is often nice to do so, but there are many cases where it
is not possible (in addition to the reserved word case, consider
names like _____hello and cases where Hello and hello are different
functions).

You just write

  pragma Import (C, Ada_Name_Of_Function, "C_Name_Of_Function");

e.g. for your case:

  pragma Import (C, C_Accept, "accept");

or somesuch. It would be helpful if you could track down why you had a
misunderstanding here so that whatever text you are using can be clarified.
The RM itself seems clear on this point.
