Date: 2001-05-10T17:44:25+02:00 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <mailman.989509930.7705.comp.lang.ada@ada.eu.org> (raw)
Using the pragma Import method of calling non-Ada entities, am I only
allowed to define functions? How about procedures? What I want to do is
to create a text file, give this text file as a parameter to a C
program, and then wait until the C program finishes. By then it will
have produced another text file that I want to use.
Can I use a dummy result variable like the 'result' in the following
(from another mail):
procedure Command is
function C_System(value : String) return integer;
pragma Import(
C, C_System, "system");
result : integer;
begin
result := C_System("pwd ");
result := C_System(value => "acdsee D:\work\pictures\BP47.jpg ");
end Command;
