i'm working on a user defined task scheduler.

my problem is:
if a task type is defined in a package how i can export a pointer to
this task?
the main problem is that the task have a "generic" part so an user can
write different body for thid task.

it look like this

task type dummy is
entry dosomething;
....
task body dummy is
...
loop
accept dosomething
user_defined_work;  <--generic part.
end loop;
....

the problem is that the task type is visible only inside the pakage.
my idea is to crate a scheduler task with an array of pointer of dummy
task
but

if i put the scheduler in the package, evry time that i make a new
dummy task a new scheduler start.

if i put the scheduler outside the pakage i can't define the the arry
of task.

using some trick (like win32 package) is possible have a pointer to the
entry of a task?

thanks
