Ada Programming/Pragmas/Import
Summary
editThe pragma Import directs the compiler to use code or data objects written in a foreign computer language.
Which foreign languages are supported depends on the compiler implementation. Typically C, C++, Cobol, and Fortran are supported.
Example
edit/* C file */ int my_C_function() { return 1; }
-- Ada Filefunction
My_C_Functionreturn
Integer;pragma
Import (Convention => C, Entity => My_C_Function, External_Name => "my_C_function" ); ... Some_Variable := My_C_Function; -- Ada uses a foreign language like a pro! -- Huzzah!
