I try to avoid code in C at all costs.

When I do need to pass pointers to C, I just use 'Address on the Ada
side. It's not guarantteed portable, but neither is the C code, so
it's good enough. And it's far easier to get right, and usually more
efficient, than messing with Interfaces.C pointer stuff.
