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.
