That was me - but it seems Dave Korn's post broke the thread. But isn't
it easy enough to sort messages on subject?
Anyway, I tried a noddy example, as follows...
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~
$ cat imp.adb
procedure imp is
procedure Doit(A : integer; B : boolean; C : character);
pragma Import (Stdcall, Doit, "FormatMessageA");
begin
Doit(1, true, 'x');
end;
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~
$ gnat compile imp.adb
gcc -c imp.adb
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~
$ nm imp.o
00000000 b .bss
00000000 d .data
00000000 t .text
U [EMAIL PROTECTED]
00000000 T __ada_imp
So Gnat is generating a stdcall-style linker symbol with @12 (the
parameter block size) correctly appended. If Frédéric is not seeing
this with stdcall, it is probably an indication that the specification
used for Doit is wrong - ie it hasn't been defined to take any parameters.
If you change the pragma line to
pragma Import (Stdcall, Doit, Link_Name => "FormatMessageA");
the symbol is generated as
U [EMAIL PROTECTED]
so you can generate it without the leading underscore, but with the
stdcall postfix, if you wish.
[Note - the above is just an example - the *real* FormatMessageA should
take 7 words (28 bytes) of parameters, and the Ada spec should match the
kernel32 definition.]
