32 -- This package contains the definitions and routines associated with the
33 -- implementation and use of the Task_Info pragma. It is specialized
34 -- appropriately for targets that make use of this pragma.
36 -- Note: the compiler generates direct calls to this interface, via Rtsfind.
37 -- Any changes to this interface may require corresponding compiler changes.
39 -- The functionality in this unit is now provided by the predefined package
40 -- System.Multiprocessors and the CPU aspect. This package is obsolescent.
42 package System.Task_Info is
43 pragma Obsolescent (Task_Info, "use System.Multiprocessors and CPU aspect");
44 pragma Preelaborate;
45 pragma Elaborate_Body;
46 -- To ensure that a body is allowed
48 -----------------------------------------
49 -- Implementation of Task_Info Feature --
50 -----------------------------------------
52 -- The Task_Info pragma:
54 -- pragma Task_Info (EXPRESSION);
56 -- allows the specification on a task by task basis of a value of type
57 -- System.Task_Info.Task_Info_Type to be passed to a task when it is
58 -- created. The specification of this type, and the effect on the task
59 -- that is created is target dependent.
61 -- The Task_Info pragma appears within a task definition (compare the
62 -- definition and implementation of pragma Priority). If no such pragma
63 -- appears, then the value Unspecified_Task_Info is passed. If a pragma
64 -- is present, then it supplies an alternative value. If the argument of
65 -- the pragma is a discriminant reference, then the value can be set on
66 -- a task by task basis by supplying the appropriate discriminant value.
68 -- Note that this means that the type used for Task_Info_Type must be
69 -- suitable for use as a discriminant (i.e. a scalar or access type).

84 type Task_Info_Type is new Scope_Type;
85 -- Type used for passing information to task create call, using the
86 -- Task_Info pragma. This type may be specialized for individual
87 -- implementations, but it must be a type that can be used as a
88 -- discriminant (i.e. a scalar or access type).
