The specification of this type, and the effect on the task -- that is created is target dependent. -- The Task_Info pragma appears within a task definition (compare the -- definition and implementation of pragma Priority). If no such pragma -- appears, then the value Task_Info_Unspecified is passed. If a pragma -- is present, then it supplies an alternative value. If the argument of -- the pragma is a discriminant reference, then the value can be set on -- a task by task basis by supplying the appropriate discriminant value. -- Note that this means that the type used for Task_Info_Type must be -- suitable for use as a discriminant (i.e. a scalar or access type). ------------------ -- Declarations -- ------------------ type Scope_Type is (Process_Scope, -- Contend only with threads in same process System_Scope, -- Contend with all threads on same CPU Default_Scope); type Task_Info_Type is new Scope_Type; -- Type used for passing information to task create call, using the -- Task_Info pragma. This type may be specialized for individual -- implementations, but it must be a type that can be used as a -- discriminant (i.e. a scalar or access type). type Task_Image_Type is access String; -- Used to generate a meaningful identifier for tasks that are variables -- and components of variables. procedure Free_Task_Image is new Unchecked_Deallocation (String, Task_Image_Type); Unspecified_Task_Info : constant Task_Info_Type := Default_Scope; -- Value passed to task in the absence of a Task_Info pragma end System.Task_Info;
