Hi I have an ADA function that I'd like to call from my C program.

Is there any way to provide a .h file containing a C prototype for the
ADA function and then link the ADA with the C? Does anyone have any
experience of this?

I'm using a GNU setup on Linux.

Thanks.

C doesn't define how to mix C with other languages. I believe Ada does
define how to mix Ada with other languages, so you're better off asking
in an Ada newsgroup.

Ada (not "ADA"; it's not an acronym) provides mechanisms for
cross-language calls between Ada and C; C does not. The folks in
comp.lang.c won't be able to answer your question. I've redirected
followups just to comp.lang.ada, and I suggest that others do
likewise.
