Hi all,

I often see people asks questions related to moving from C to Ada95, well
I'm asking for information about the opposite step.

I've been using Ada95 for a few years (and I also know C fairly well), but
I've just started a job where I'll be writing *real-time* code in C.
Obviously the simple things are present (semaphores etc.) but useful
constructs such as Protected Objects, Accepts and so forth are lacking.

As I'm comfortable designing real-time systems in Ada I'd like to use
similar design methods for our (as yet undecided) implementation of
real-time C.

Does anyone have any information (books, websites) regarding 'getting the
stuff you remember from Ada95 into C'!?

Thanks,

Sploo.

PS Anyone replying and saying 'why not just use Ada?' will be beaten with a
copy of the Reference Manual. Soundly.
