Re: rendez-vous underlying mechanism

["Jeffrey Creem" <jeff@thecreems.com>]

Wow..This one just never dies.. GNAT does not translae Ada code to C.
Prior versions of GNAT used to generate the main binder program in C (calls
to elaborate the
packages followed by a call to the main program) but even that is now gone.

There are compiler switches that you can use to see the expanded Ada code
but this is
certainly not C.

As to the original question, seems like a pretty boring rendevous since C
has no tasking. Now, if you
say C and some particular tasking run time library than one could begin to
construct something similar to
the Ada.

Which thread library is being targeted?
