Re: Newbie question about generic linked list tasks

[rlk@rational.com (Bob Kitzberger)]

I (rlk@rational.com) wrote some drivel:

: 	generic
: 	  type Element ...
: 	package List_Generic is
: 	  type List is private;
: 	  ...
: 	end;
...
: 	package body List_Generic is
: 	  task Access_Control is
: 	    entry Start_Reader ...;
...
: 	  end Access_Control;


This is an example of what happens when firing off an answer before
thinking it through (and yes, I had my morning coffee, so I can't
use that as an excuse ;-)

This solution will technically work, but will serialize access across
all List objects for a particular List_Generic instantiation... when what
is desired is serialized access to a particular List object.  This implies
the need for one task per List object, rather than one task per List_Generic
instantiation.

Egg on my face... see Robert Eachus' solution for a better approach.
