I asked Joe for specific code, and he responded:

<<There is tons of such code available for free on the internet.  Just look
for I/O drivers, such as for UNIX and VxWorks. VxWorks Board Support
Packages are another example.  
 
Even C-coded I/O drivers and kernel initialization sequences resort to
some assembly code.  
 
As for shared memory, look into the handling of driver comm pools, queues
shared between tasks and also with ISRs.  And so on.
 >>

Sorry that is not what I asked for. I asked for specific code. If you are
just repeating what others have told you, fine, such second hand information
is often ill-informed and inaccurate. But if on the other hand, you have a
real technical point to make, please illustrate it with very specific code.

(P.S. I have written lots of device drivers, and I cannot think of anything
I have ever done that could not be done in Ada), but if you think you have
such an example, let's see it!
