Check out the book `The Concurrent C Programming Language' by Narain
Gehani and William D. Roome, published 1989 by Silcon Press, ISBN
0-929306-00-7.  Chapter 5 discusses Concurrent C++ (this looks similar
to an article published recently in Software Practice and Experience).

The concurrency model in Concurrent C is based on the `rendezvous
concept,' and people familiar with Ada's tasking model should feel
comfortable with many of its constructs (see appendix C for a
comparison between Ada and Concurrent C).

I'd be interested in hearing whether anyone else has actually
programmed in Concurrent C/C++, and also whether it is available for
general use.  It certainly sounds like an interesting extension to
C/C++.
