  48    --  Move the current task to the outermost level (level 2) of the master
  49    --  hierarchy of the environment task. That is one level further out
  50    --  than normal tasks defined in library-level packages (level 3). The
  51    --  environment task will wait for level 3 tasks to terminate normally,
  52    --  then it will abort all the level 2 tasks. See Finalize_Global_Tasks
  53    --  procedure for more information.
  54    --
  55    --  This is a dangerous operation, and should never be used on nested tasks
  56    --  or tasks that depend on any objects that might be finalized earlier than
  57    --  the termination of the environment task. It is for internal use by the
  58    --  GNARL, to prevent such internal server tasks from preventing a partition
  59    --  from terminating.
  60    --
  61    --  Also note that the run time assumes that the parent of an independent
  62    --  task is the environment task. If this is not the case, Make_Independent
  63    --  will change the task's parent. This assumption is particularly
  64    --  important for master level completion and for the computation of
  65    --  Independent_Task_Count.
  66    --
  67    --  NOTE WELL: Make_Independent should be called before the task reaches its
  68    --  "begin", like this:
  69    --
  70    --     task body Some_Independent_Task is
  71    --        ...
  72    --        Ignore : constant Boolean := Make_Independent;
  73    --        ...
  74    --     begin
  75    --
  76    --  The return value is meaningless; the only reason this is a function is
  77    --  to get around the Ada limitation that makes a procedure call
  78    --  syntactically illegal before the "begin".
  79    --
  80    --  Calling it before "begin" ensures that the call completes before the
  81    --  activating task can proceed. This is important for preventing race
  82    --  conditions. For example, if the environment task reaches
  83    --  Finalize_Global_Tasks before some task has finished Make_Independent,
  84    --  the program can hang.
  85    --
  86    --  Note also that if a package declares independent tasks, it should not
  87    --  initialize its package-body data after "begin" of the package, because
  88    --  that's where the tasks are activated. Initializing such data before the
  89    --  task activation helps prevent the tasks from accessing uninitialized
  90    --  data.
  91
  92    Independent_Task_Count : Natural := 0;
  93    --  Number of independent tasks. This counter is incremented each time
  94    --  Make_Independent is called. Note that if a server task terminates,
  95    --  this counter will not be decremented. Since Make_Independent locks
  96    --  the environment task (because every independent task depends on it),
  97    --  this counter is protected by the environment task's lock.
