Re: Hiding Concurrency; semaphores in ADTs, etc.
Providing better support for data-oriented synchronization
is a high priority for the Ada 9X revision. We are addressing
both the issue of synchronizing access to shared data without
introducing an additional task, as well as the importance of
by-reference parameter passing when passing shared or volatile
data objects. For now, explicit use of access values to prevent
by-copy parameter passing may be the only "portable" solution,
though most compilers have an upper bound on the size of the
object they will pass by copy.
