Ada Programming/Pragmas/Import
Summary
[edit | edit source]The pragmaImport 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 | edit source]/* C file */int my_C_function() { return 1; }
-- Ada FilefunctionMy_C_FunctionreturnInteger;pragmaImport (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!
