{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).
1.b
Ada should have strong support for mixed−language programming.
1.c
{extensions to Ada 83} Much of the functionality in this Annex is new to Ada 95.
1.d
This Annex contains what used to be RM83−13.8.
