Dear all,
I am scheduled to give an introductory talk (45 min) about Ada at the next "Open Source Day" here in Udine. I was thinking about giving an overview of the language, emphasizing those parts that are unique (or almost unique) to Ada, with the objective of making people curious.
Among other things, I am planning about saying something about the existence of Annex E for distributed systems.
While reading section "E.4.1. Asynchronous Remote Calls" of our beloved RM, I got a doubt: as I understand the language does not define any specific mechanism for getting the "return value" of an asynchronous call; if I want the result back I must implement the "back channel" by myself (e.g., a callback or a polling function of type "are we there yet?" [to be said with childish voice] :-). Am I right?
Thank you for your help
Riccardo
