Re: protected type interrupts

I'm just reading what the RM says. But, although I'm not an expert at
this, I don't believe your argument makes sense given the way protected
objects are supposed to work. A task cannot, of course, access data
internal to a protected object directly; it has to call one of the PO's
subprograms or entries to get it. When it does so, then assuming
Ceiling_Locking is in effect, no other task can use the PO---but it's
not because other tasks are blocked, it's simply because the protected
action runs at a higher priority than any task that could use the PO
(and the protected action is supposed to complete very quickly). So no
mutual exclusion or blocking is necessary when calling protected
subprograms. At least I think that's how it works.

That makes sense. Thanks.
