Jon says
<<I think Robert is taking "conversion" to me "translate the Ada95 into
C which is then intended to be read and maintained by humans". Using
this definition, then his points are relevant. But, it seems from
what you've said a few times now, that you are really looking for a
"converter" which compiles Ada to C. Using this definition I believe
Robert would say that, while there may be some issues, this is
certainly doable and may well have been done.>>
Yes, this has been done for Ada 83, and could be done for Ada 95. The
resulting C is fundamentally inefficient, and completely unreadable.
So the question is: what would it be good for, and the answer is as
an intermediate language in some cases, but I can't see man y such
cases.
In virtually all cases, people asking for Ada to C translation are NOT
asking for this kind of approach!
