Abstract

The draft standard POSIX Threads Extension provides an application program interface to operating system services supporting the creation and execution of multiple threads of control within a single process. Where Ada is implemented over an operating system that supports POSIX-like thread services, there are good reasons to implement the Ada tasks as POSIX threads. This paper explores some of the design issues involved in implementing Ada 9X tasking constructs on a system supporting POSIX threads. 1 Introduction We are developing a runtime system (RTS) library to support Ada 9X tasking. To enhance portability, this RTS is being designed to be able to use standard interfaces for operating system services. It will use a set of low-level primitives that can either be implemented directly on a bare machine, or mapped onto the services of an operating system that supports multiple threads of control within a single address space. The first such OS interface to be targeted is the POSIX 1003....
