#ifdefs  are  not used only to make sources portable, but also to
make it possible to not compile functionality which is not needed
by specific user.

However  #ifdefs  make  the code very hard to read. Also in C/C++
there is no standard support for multi-threading and synchroniza­
tion.

I  based  above statement on what I have learned during my lectu­
res. Obviously my lecturer didn't know Ada  well  enough.  Now  I
know that these models are nearly the same.
