Hello, everybody,

I remember, a long time ago I did read a paper entitled like "Rendezvous
are dead. Long live protected object" where it was stated that protected
types are much more convenient for communication between tasks than
rendezvous. And also the rationale dwells mostly upon these types, not
rendezvous.
The question is: are there any practical instances (in Ada 95) when use
of rendezvous is more advantageous than of protected types? In other
words, is it worhty of trying to write the code using only protected
types and completely ignoring rendezvous as possible solution (like the
GOTO operator)?

Thanks in advance,
Anatoly
