Abstract
Ada Gem #35 --- Ada 95 introduced "protected types" as a fundamental building block for efficient concurrent programming and interrupt handling. In this Gem we examine the use of protected types in the implementation of the classic asynchronous bounded buffer abstraction provided by the GNAT hierarchy of library units. This Gem assumes the reader is somewhat familiar with protected types and will, therefore, explain some, but by no means all, of their semantics.

Gem #37: bounded buffer package in GNAT hierarchy (part 2)
Ada Gem #37 --- Part 1 of this Gem briefly introduced bounded buffers, protected types, and the declaration of the generic package GNAT. Bounded_Buffers, exporting protected type Bounded_Buffer. In Part 2 of the Gem we examine the private part of ...
Gem #56: creating Ada to Java calls using GNAT-AJIS
In a previous Gem we introduced ada2java, which maps an Ada specification to a Java specification, to support calls from Java to Ada. Even though ada2java doesn't support creating Ada bindings of Java specs, it's still possible to use it to support ...
Gem #84: the distributed systems annex 1 -- simple client/server
Ada Gem #84 --- This is the first in a series of Gems introducing the facilities defined by the optional annex for distributed systems (Annex E) in the Ada Reference Manual. In this introduction, we show how a simple client/server architecture can be ...
