hi alex, Shiva here. I have done a small program which uses protected and 2 tasks. Check this, but this program works........ with Ada.Text_Io; use Ada.Text_Io; procedure Protected_Task is protected Task_Var is procedure Increment; private A : Integer:=0; end Task_Var; protected body Task_Var is procedure Increment is begin A:=A+1; New_Line; Put(" A value :"); Put(Integer'Image(A)); end Increment; end Task_Var; task type A1 is entry Increment1; end A1; task body A1 is begin loop accept Increment1 do New_Line; Put(" Inside increment of task 1"); Task_Var.Increment; New_Line; end Increment1; end loop; end A1; task type A2 is entry Increment2; end A2; task body A2 is begin loop accept Increment2 do New_Line; Put(" Inside increment of task 2"); Task_Var.Increment; New_Line; end Increment2; end loop; end A2; Tsk1 : A1; Tsk2 : A2; begin loop Tsk1.Increment1; Tsk2.Increment2; delay 1.0; end loop; end Protected_Task; I have also attached the program and the exe of it... This was done on GNAT compiler, Ada gide editor (See attached file: protected_task.adb)(See attached file: protected_task.exe) Regards, shiva....!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- No.4, Service road, (Near) Shanthi sagar, Domlur, Bangalore - 560 071.

I have a protected object (PO), and when a single task accesses this PO, then everything is fine. As soon as I have more then one task trying to access the PO, the software hangs as soon as the 2nd task trys to gain access. What could cause this to happen? All the tasks have the same priority. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Alex This email may contain confidential or privileged information for the intended recipient(s).
