Ada and VxWorks VxMP

Ada and VxWorks VxMP

[Peter Richtmyer]

We will be using VxWorks VxMP Shared Memory Objects between two 
boards, our code is in Ada. We will be passing messages using 
Shared Message Queues, and we will have some data objects.

Does anyone know of, or have, some Ada examples using VxMP that
they could share?  Even snippets showing the Ada to C interface 
Progmas would be helpful. And any advice that is not in the book
(VxWorks Programmer's Guide, 5.4) ?

thanks,
Peter

Have you tried getting this from your compiler vendor?

Yes. A co-worker took a course there, and asked them last summer.
As soon as I get our "User ID" and "password" for support I am going
to prod the company again. 

I was hoping somebody had some examples out there. It could help 
support our fight against that "Axis of Evil".  

really   :-)

Oh.  So this is some gubment boon dougle job written in Ada.  Write it
in C and be done with it.

So you are asking how to call a VxWorks function from Ada?  Surely
someone has written a set of binding for this.

You don't say what compiler you're using.  If you're using GNAT, I recall
seeing some interfaces to VxWorks in the run time library sources (which
should be included with your distribution).
