2.66 Pragma External ¶

Syntax:

pragma External ( [ Convention =>] convention_IDENTIFIER, [ Entity =>] LOCAL_NAME [, [External_Name =>] static_string_EXPRESSION ] [, [Link_Name =>] static_string_EXPRESSION ]);

This pragma is identical in syntax and semantics to pragmaExport as defined in the Ada Reference Manual. It is provided for compatibility with some Ada 83 compilers that used this pragma for exactly the same purposes as pragmaExport before the latter was standardized.
