Renaming packages is a bad idea. Either use fully-qualified names 
"Interfaces.C.size_t" or else do use-clause "size_t". Renaming lacks 
advantages of either approach inheriting their corresponding disadvantages.

size_t is defined in Interfaces.C.

pragma Convention (C, Real_Function);

     function Integration_QNG
       (f: Real_Function;
        a, b, epsabs, epsrel: Interfaces.C.double;
        result, abserr: access Interfaces.C.double;
        neval: access Interfaces.C.size_t)
       return Interfaces.C.int;

P.S. For convention C assume this:

1. out T, in out T, access T are equivalent

2. in T and access T are equivalent when T is non-scalar (you can pass 
int, array, or record, the compiler will sort that out)
