For Ada 12, there are synchronous queues (ARM A.18.27-29).

http://www.ada-auth.org/standards/rm12_w_tc1/html/RM-A-18-27.html

If you use a language supported by more than one compiler vendor, the PragmARCs
(both for ISO/IEC 8652:1995 and ISO/IEC 8652:2007) have protected queues, both
bounded and unbounded:
