• When converting from Ada, which programming language is better, ‘C’ or ‘C++’ ?

  C++ comes with powerful tools like object-oriented programming and templates, which can make your code more organized and easier to work with, especially for complex projects. By adopting C++, your team can improve our software development efforts, ...

• What is the difference between Ada-C/C++ Changer and an Ada to C language syntax converter?

  Ada-C/C++ Changer is not an Ada to C language syntax converter, which is very inefficient. Ada-C/C++ Changer technology is actually an Ada compiler along with a few command line switches that are used to perform Ada to C conversion. Since the ...

• How are Ada arrays with enumerated indices handled? (i.e. Ada allows array indices to start with non-zero, even non-numeric values) How is this mapped to C which must always start at zero?

  Enumerated indices are not generally a special case, as enumeration values may be used as indices in C. However, if the Ada enumeration type has an enumeration rep clause which leaves holes in the enumeration sequence, then a table is used to ...

• How are fixed and scaled integer/floats handled (i.e. Ada delta).

  Ada fixed-point types are translated to C integer types, with run-time routines used for special operations such as fixed-fixed multiply and divide where the built-in C operators don't do the right thing.
