I am sure this has been hashed around a lot, but I am VERY new to
this group, as well as knowing VERY little about ada.
I need to be able to call a C routine from ada. The problem is
that I don't have the C source to this routine so I have to use
the existing file.o. In addition, the calling sequence to this routine
has to be flexible enough to allow a variable number of args
as well as character string args that vary in length. Below are
example calling sequences:
my_exec( 1 )
my_exec( 2, "file", 1 )
my_exec( 3, buffer, len )
my_exec( 4, buffer, len, 0 )
.... etc
I could create different routines for each case:
my_exec1()
my_exec2( "file", 1 )
my_exec3( buffer, len )
my_exec4( buffer, len, 0 )
which would work, but how do I handle passing variable length character
strings.
Unfortunately, this project needs to be finished ASAP, so I can't speed
a lot of time RTFM, so I would appreciate ANY comments, suggestions on
places to look, recommendations on books to read, PD examples, flames.....
Thanks in advance
