Hi,

I've just written a program to prove it, but am I correct in saying that
the GNAT procedure/function calling mechanism is to pass parameters from
right-to-left (C-style), rather than left-to-right (PASCAL-style)?

I was also wondering if there is an Ada standard way to changing the
mechanism? Or this compiler specific?

Thanks,
Luke.
