Annex B

(normative)

Interface to Other Languages

1
   {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.
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.
