There are several people here writing C++ code using g++, and I'd like to be able to gradually wean them to Ada. Having a binding generator so I can easily integrate new Ada code with the current C++, using all the current functionality, would be great. That would make it easier for me to get funding for ACT support. -- Stephen Leake, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center > > Robert Dewar > Ada Core Technologies > > -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- > http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own
