Abstract

This paper discusses the issues involved in servicing interrupts in Ada, with reference to the mechanisms in (Refs. 1 and 2), and concludes that it can be done efficiently and reliably, but that some form of asynchronous communication is needed, and that this is best done explicitly using an additional run time system interface.
