Annex B
(normative)
Interface to Other Languages
{interface to other
languages} {language
(interface to non-Ada)} {mixed-language
programs} This Annex describes features
for writing mixed-language programs. General interface support is presented
first; then specific support for C, COBOL, and Fortran is defined, in
terms of language interface packages for each of these languages.
Ramification: This Annex is not a “Specialized
Needs” annex. Every implementation must support all non-optional
features defined here (mainly the package Interfaces).
Language Design Principles
Ada should have strong support for mixed-language
programming.
