   I am currently working on a project that is doing Ada 95 bindings to C++
   and it is a virtual nightmare.  Very high learning curve and I still
   don't think I got it.  Does anyone have a nice "cheat sheet" that
   describes a C++ object oriented ism to an Ada 95 way of doing it.

   For example:
   class A {
     int Func (const A& p1);
   }
   package A is
     type Object is tagged null record;
     function Func (This : in out Object;
                            p1   : in       Object'Class)
                                     return Integer;
   end A;

I have the benefit of going the other way right now (making C++ bindings to
Ada), and I'm using ASIS.  It's an absolute delight.

What I map is:

     private types
     tagged types
     variant records

To C++ classes.  Maybe you could consider one of those other options,
depending on whether the methods are virtual or not.
