Re: pragma importing sem_init gives me a segmentation fault

It might be better to redesign the program to use Ada protected types

If the semaphore is in shared memory (and it is, see original question), then I'd expect that some other programs make use of it. There is no provision that all such programs are written in Ada.

And how do you make a protected object that is shared between processes, btw?
