  34 --  This package contains the definitions and routines associated with the
  35 --  implementation and use of the Task_Info pragma. It is specialized
  36 --  appropriately for targets that make use of this pragma.
  37
  38 --  Note: the compiler generates direct calls to this interface, via Rtsfind.
  39 --  Any changes to this interface may require corresponding compiler changes.
  40
  41 --  This unit may be used directly from an application program by providing
  42 --  an appropriate WITH, and the interface can be expected to remain stable.

  53    --  The Task_Info pragma:
  54
  55    --    pragma Task_Info (EXPRESSION);
  56
  57    --  allows the specification on a task by task basis of a value of type
  58    --  System.Task_Info.Task_Info_Type to be passed to a task when it is
  59    --  created. The specification of this type, and the effect on the task
  60    --  that is created is target dependent.
  61
  62    --  The Task_Info pragma appears within a task definition (compare the
  63    --  definition and implementation of pragma Priority). If no such pragma
  64    --  appears, then the value Task_Info_Unspecified is passed. If a pragma
  65    --  is present, then it supplies an alternative value. If the argument of
  66    --  the pragma is a discriminant reference, then the value can be set on
  67    --  a task by task basis by supplying the appropriate discriminant value.
  68
  69    --  Note that this means that the type used for Task_Info_Type must be
  70    --  suitable for use as a discriminant (i.e. a scalar or access type).
