It might be worth mentioning, in this discussion, the existence of the 
Ravenscar Profile - a subset of Ada tasking designed explicitly to meet 
the certification requirements of high integrity Ada programs.

The profile was defined at the 8th International Real-Time Ada Workshop 
in April 1997 (held at the Ravenscar Hotel, North Yorkshire, UK). 
Details are in the proceedings, published as the September/October issue 
of Ada Letters (Volume XVII Number 5).

At least one vendor has announced plans to provide a 'certifiable'
run-time that supports this subset.

Use of the profile is recommended in the HRG Guidance document (an ISO 
technical report on the use for Ada in high integrity software currently 
in preparation).

Phil Thornley.
