• 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.

• How are Ada packed arrays handled? Are they converted to strings? and if so, do you add 1 extra byte for the null?

  Packed arrays are referenced as byte-arrays in C, with appropriate shifting and masking to handle cases where the elements are less than 8-bits/element. We don't generally add an extra byte. Ada strings are converted to C char-arrays, and C string ...

• How are AdHow are Ada generic packages converted?

  Instances of Ada generic packages are expanded at compile-time into non-generic code C/C++. Generic packages themselves do not translate into anything in the C/C++ code. We can provide assistance in a semi-manual procedure for generating C++ ...

• How are Ada record types converted? What do they look like if they have bit representations?

  Ada C/C++ Changer use C/C++ bit field specifications as necessary to provide an identical "struct" representation as described in above answers.

• How are calls to Ada library packages converted (wind32, calendar, text_io)

  When generating C++, each Ada package becomes a separate C++ namespace. For bindings like Win32, the generated C/C++ code has direct calls on the corresponding C interface, using export "C" {}.
