This works for me for Windows
    type Points is record
      x,y : interfaces.c.int;
    end record;
    type bool is new interfaces.c.int;
    function GetCursorPos(point : access points) return bool;
    pragma import(stdcall,GetCursorPos, "GetCursorPos");
    current : aliased points;
    ...
      if getcursorpos(current'access) = 0 then
        -- current now has mouse position
      else -- Windows error
