32 | -- This package provides facilities for creation or registration of foreign |
33 | -- threads for use as Ada tasks. In order to execute general Ada code, the | |
34 | -- run-time system must know about all tasks. This package allows foreign | |
35 | -- code, e.g. a C program, to create a thread that the Ada run-time knows | |
36 | -- about, or to register the current thread. | |
37 | ||
38 | -- For some implementations of GNAT Pro, the registration of foreign threads | |
39 | -- is automatic. However, in such implementations, if the Ada program has no | |
40 | -- tasks at all and no tasking constructs other than delay, then by default | |
41 | -- the non-tasking version of the Ada run-time will be loaded. If foreign | |
42 | -- threads are present, it is important to ensure that the tasking version | |
43 | -- of the Ada run time is loaded. This may be achieved by adding "with | |
44 | -- GNAT.Threads" to any unit in the partition. | |
