37 -- This is a DEC Unix 4.0d version of this package.
39 -- This package contains the definitions and routines associated with the
40 -- implementation of the Task_Info pragma.
42 -- Note: the compiler generates direct calls to this interface, via Rtsfind.
43 -- Any changes to this interface may require corresponding compiler changes.

51 -- Implementation of Task_Info Feature --
52 -----------------------------------------
54 -- The Task_Info pragma:
56 -- pragma Task_Info (EXPRESSION);
58 -- allows the specification on a task by task basis of a value of type
59 -- System.Task_Info.Task_Info_Type to be passed to a task when it is
60 -- created. The specification of this type, and the effect on the task
61 -- that is created is target dependent.
63 -- The Task_Info pragma appears within a task definition (compare the
64 -- definition and implementation of pragma Priority). If no such pragma
65 -- appears, then the value Task_Info_Unspecified is passed. If a pragma
66 -- is present, then it supplies an alternative value. If the argument of
67 -- the pragma is a discriminant reference, then the value can be set on
68 -- a task by task basis by supplying the appropriate discriminant value.
70 -- Note that this means that the type used for Task_Info_Type must be
71 -- suitable for use as a discriminant (i.e. a scalar or access type).

;
96 -- Type used for passing information to task create call, using the
97 -- Task_Info pragma. This type may be specialized for individual
98 -- implementations, but it must be a type that can be used as a
99 -- discriminant (i.e. a scalar or access type).
