Victor, That's is another thing you can read in the book (chapters 2 and 3). In addition, in chapter 4 you can learn how protected objects are implemented (with POSIX mutexes), and in chapter 6 you can learn how the POSIX signals are handled by the Run-Time to implement the Ada interrupts semantics. In general, understanding the underlying technology helps you writing better programs. -- Javier Miranda ---------------------------------------------------------------- A Detailed Description of the GNU Ada Run-Time (J.Miranda, 2002) Free book available at: http://www.iuma.ulpgc.es/users/jmiranda ---------------------------------------------------------------- __________________________________________________________________ The NEW Netscape 7.0 browser is now available.
