I don't use GLADE, of course, so it is just guessing. Under Windows 
G_MODULE_EXPORT is likely DLL export used to bind to the procedure after 
loading the DLL. In Ada terms it must be

    pragma Export (C, Test, "Test");

or, if GLADE uses Windows API conventions:

    pragma Export (Stdcal, Test, "Test");

The external name "Test" is up to experiments. It could be "_test" or 
some Windows mangled name "Test@...". I have no idea what external names 
GLADE uses. An error message upon loading/linking should hint at it.
