Re: rendez-vous underlying mechanism

["Marin David Condic" <dont.bother.mcondic.auntie.spam@[acm.org>]

What do you mean by "done internally"? Generally speaking, the whole
business of task scheduling and communication is something that an Ada
compiler provides in part by how it compiles the statements and in part by
its available runtime and/or OS primitives. The rendezvous has to impact
scheduling of tasks, so it isn't typically something that can be done as
simply as a procedure call.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish? It is possible to cobble together
something resembling tasks and rendezvous in C provided you have proper OS
support, but you're really asking to make your life hard when it doesn't
necessarily have to be.
