John Trono (1994) published a new exercise in concurrent programming – the Santa Claus problem – and provided a solution based on semaphores. His solution is incorrect because it assumes that a process released from waiting on a semaphore will necessarily be scheduled for execution. We give a simple solution in Ada 95 using higher‐order synchronization primitives: protected objects and rendezvous. We then give a solution in Java, although this solution is not as elegant as the Ada 95 solution because the Java synchronization primitives are rather limited. The problem demonstrates that semaphores, designed for low‐level mutual exclusion, are not appropriate for solving difficult concurrent programming problems. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…Open systems that provide coherent interfaces to their internal components allow integration with tools in ways the original designers had not envisioned. Multiple programming (Maybee et al 1996, Taft 1996 and process languages allow alternative means of specification of the work model and its behavior, increasing a system's flexibility. ¼ Ubiquitous and mobile.…”

“…For example, the Java Virtual Machine, which provides garbage collection and exception handling, has been used as a target for languages other than Java, including Ada [36], ML [7], Scheme [12], and Haskell [39]. But a sophisticated platform like a virtual machine embodies too many design decisions.…”

Abstract. For a compiler writer, generating good machine code for a variety of platforms is hard work. One might try to reuse a retargetable code generator, but code generators are complex and difficult to use, and they limit one's choice of implementation language. One might try to use C as a portable assembly language, but C limits the compiler writer's flexibility and the performance of the resulting code. The wide use of C, despite these drawbacks, argues for a portable assembly language. C--is a new language designed expressly for this purpose. The use of a portable assembly language introduces new problems in the support of such high-level run-time services as garbage collection, exception handling, concurrency, profiling, and debugging. We address these problems by combining the C--language with a C--run-time interface. The combination is designed to allow the compiler writer a choice of sourcelanguage semantics and implementation techniques, while still providing good performance.
