Does Adata... sorry... Ada interact with C?

One example is an Ada program that calls POSIX routines
as implemented for GNU/Linux, another is one that calls
Windows™ GUI's functions (Win32).
That, as well as the fact that the Ada standard specifies how
Ada and C should interact (in LRM B.3, Interfaces.C), should
answer the question not just by particular example but for
every compiler on any supported system.

You could take a look at https://github.com/JvanKatwijk/ada-dab
which contains source for a DAB decoder and is using a number of C libraries
a.o it interfaces to C libraries for sdr input devices and soundcard output using a number of callbacks as well.

Well

Interaction between Source languages is one thing but you need to take 
the tool-chain into consideration as well.
Take a look on C++, libraries compiled with  Microsoft C++ and GCC C++ 
are not compatible.
But GCC Ada, C and C++ are compatible, the compiler gcc could even 
generate the ada-specs from C and C++ headers ,not all but the ones that 
are "compatible" and the most recent gnat could generate C headers from 
ada-specs.

And the food chain as well. What ate dBase? Foxpro? Clipper? :)

I barely remember that both Foxbase and Foxpro were written in C?
