Re: Reading Float Data from a binary file into ada

Basically I need to be able to read in the binary data byte by byte but store it into a 32 bit Float. The C union example above uses the same memory address for the Float as it does for the size 4 char array. I don't even know if the VB dump will correspond with the way ada handles floats or not, but I'll worry about that later.

Any reason you can't call this C function from Ada?
