A lot of types were not converted and carried over to the ‘C’ files. There were no errors issued by the compiler. Why?

• The .h and .c files were created, but all it contained were the comments. No errors were reported in the command console. Why were these files not converted?

  This normally means there was some compile-time error, or it might be that the file produces no code. This might happen for a generic package or generic subprogram, which produce code only when instantiated. We would need a test case to be sure ...

• Why are .h and .c files created for each Ada file? I expected the Foo.1.ada file to be converted to Foo.h and the Foo.2.ada to be converted as Foo.c. Instead, I get a pair of .h and .c files for the Foo.1.ada and Foo.2.ada files.

  A single Ada source file can have any kind of code within it, though some compilers are more restrictive than that and use specific naming conventions (such as Rational’s .1.ada and .2.ada, or AdaCore’s .ads and .adb). Ada-C/C++ Changer is designed ...

• How does Ada-C/C++ Changer handle run-time errors?

  Ada language, by default, automatically handles various run-time errors that are not handled by the application. It is recommended that the Ada code be first inspected manually or using Ada Inspector tool to ensure there is enough error handling code ...

• What are the components of Ada-C/C++ Changer?

  There are six components of Ada-C/C++ Changer: AdaCgen - Ada compiler which automatically compiles all user-registered Ada source and generates interim optimized C files, then the compiler will go through the optimized C files and convert them to ...

• How is the Ada bit representation for record types converted?

  There is a fairly direct translation, with Ada records becoming C/C++ structs, and Ada components becoming C fields, with C/C++ bitfield specifications generated as appropriate.
