Interfacing Ada to operating systems

Abstract

This paper examines approaches used by the Ada programming language to interface to explicit operating system services such as events and sockets. We examine the potential for updating a specific interface, the POSIX Ada binding, to a more gereral interface to operating systems services. An approach is proposed to unify classes of services such as synchronous and asynchronous file IO in such an interface.
