Abstract

A binding to Tcl from Ada is described. The goal of this binding is to make scripting language features, such as associative arrays, regular expression matching, and execution of OS commands available to an Ada programmer and to allow a Tcl programmer to use Ada in place of C where needed. This binding exploits several new features of Ada 95 that make interfacing to C much cleaner and more direct than Ada 83.
