Does any one know how to set "Break-points" or and other Debug function within C++ code. i have searched high & low, without any luck... The text book has NO reference to any debug functions, as far as I can tell. If you do know, please post a code segment with the appropriate coding. Thanks. I can be contacted directly at rickairby@aol.com. Help! Does any one know how to set “Break-points” or

You know, Ada have been made by Jean David Ichbiah. He had passed away 26 January 2007. Ada has very interesting concurrent possibilities(especially in the conjunction with real-time domain). Maybe somebody form AdaCore can tell some words about Ada. http://www.adacore.com/home/company/exec_team Or maybe John Barnes can. He is the author of Ada 2005\95 Rationale. And according to the wiki he is the primary inventor of and protagonist for the Ada Rendezvous mechanism.

Simon: you are, of course, right. The problem with going back and fourth like you describe in an email-interview is, that it takes a lot of time. Not only my time, but also the time of the person being interviewed - and I do not want to risk loosing a potential interview partner because of time constraints. The second issue is that what interests me the most may not be as interesting for you. So let's make a deal: I think the interviews as they are can stand by themselves. If you or anyone else wants to know more or wants to discuss an answer, just leave a comment under the respective post and I will (after some time has passed) collect your further questions and send them to my interview partner. Of course, I can give you no guarantees they will be so kind to answer me again, but it won't hurt to try... Pongba: thanks, maybe I will try my luck with some of the people you have mentioned.
