Ever try to translate something from a foreign language with which you're not too familiar? You wind up identifying a word at a time, and then it's often necessary to make guesses about tense and number before rearranging the parts of a sentence. New software from SDC Systems Limited aims to save you from a similarly painful process where Ada and C are concerned.
AdaMagic is designed to convert legacy software written in Ada to C. Peter Heyes, the sales director at SDC Systems, explained in a statement why this is so important.
"Until now, converting legacy systems from Ada to C/C++ has been a very costly and time consuming process," he said. "AdaMagic gives developers peace of mind by providing an error free tool that prevents mistakes being made in the error prone task of a manual rewrite."
So users should save time, money, and eliminate the possibility of goofs, in other words.
As for some more technical advantages, Heyes continued, "AdaMagic is compatible with Ada 83 and Ada 95 source code and it generates ANSI C output as well as certain C++ features while preserving the Ada code's comments, files structures and variable names to ease ongoing code maintenance."
Sounds like it'd be hard to ask for anything else. Unless you count the idea of a conversion tool that'd interface with Latin, French, and Spanish, as well, anyway.
