[comp.lang.ada] calling other languages

leisner.wbst139@XEROX.COM (02/20/91)

I find you need to specify a C compiling system when you want to integrate C
code into an ADA program.

Most C compilers are somewhat incompabitable with each other (ANSI-C from GNU
is great).

When vendors use different C compilers on cross/host modes, for all practical
purposes they implement somewhat different languages.

Interesting...

Precisely. That's why whenever someone tells me they write in C I always
make it a point to ask "Which one?".
