Annex B
(normative)
Interface to Other Languages
1
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.
1.a
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
1.b
Ada should have strong support for mixed-language
programming.
