Martin, I think you have very little chance of succeeding with this attempt
at direct interfacing. If you want to pursue this, read carefully the
documentation on the special C++ interfacing pragmas in GNAT.
These C++ interfacing pragmas are very powerful, and are used for example
by SGI to give access to their C++ graphics packages like Inventor.
But you really have to know what you are doing to use them. Generally they
are intended for use by a binding generator, not by humans. They can be
used by humans, but you really need to understand a lot.
The easiest thing for most people is to write a C wrapper for their C++
code and to interface to the C wrapper. This can be done using only
standard features of the language as described in annex B of the RM.
