Pat,
Not sure what you are trying to do . Are you trying to generate C code
from Ada? If so, can you clarify why? In other words, what is the high level
problem you are trying to solve and that you'd like to achieve? Is it the
ability to navigate in Ada code?
If you want to generate C from Ada, GCC isn't the right tool, since GCC
doesn't generate C code, it generates an intermediate representation which
is then translated into assembly code directly, without ever generating C code.

Hi Arnaud
Thanks for responding to my post. I am not trying to generate C but to
follow the intermediate representation into the Ada runtime.
So let's just say we had this:
*with* Ada.Text_IO;
*use* Ada.Text_IO;
*procedure* Do_Delays*is*
*begin*
Put_Line("Wait 5 seconds.");
*delay* 5.0;
Put_Line("Wait 2 seconds.");
*delay* 2.0;
Put_Line("Wait 7 seconds.");
*delay* 7.0;
Put_Line("That's all folks.");
*end* Do_Delays;
I want to follow "delay" through the intermediate representation into the Ada
runtime to see where the code actually causes a pause state to occur.
I can do this with GnuCOBOL because it compiles to C but that is not the case
here and I can't seem to figure out how to follow the code as it is being
translated through it's various stages and into the runtime.
Thanks again-Pat
