Ada95 and RTOS

Ada95 and RTOS

[juan carlos diaz martin]

Do I need a Real Time Operating System -such as POSIX.4- under Ada95 in
order Ada95 programs using the Real Time Anex behave in the predecible
way the programmer expect? Or Posix.1 + Ada95 is enough?
Comments and bibliografic references would br appreciated.

The compiler vendor has to validate using a combination of a compiler
and a run-time system.  You shouldn't need to select your own
RTOS, and you probably can't expect a given Ada compiler to integrate
direclty with an arbitrary RTOS.  Instead, you should select which
validated compiler/RTOS combination meets your needs, by surveying the
Ada 95 compiler vendors who support the RT annex
(alphabetically: ACT, Aonix, Concurrent, DDC-I, Green Hills, ICS, OCS, 
Rational, RR, TLD, ...).
