Comments on "Critical races in Ada programs

Comments are made on the above named work by G.M. Karam, C.M. Stanczyk, and G.W. Bond (see ibid., vol.15, no.11, p.1471-80, 1989), in which the semantics of the Ada rendezvous mechanism are discussed in terms of the critical race problem and a method is proposed for designing critical race-free programs. It is noted that this problem has been well described and numerous solutions have been presented in the literature during the past ten years (1980-90).<>
