Subject: Deallocating records with task type fields.
Date: 9 Dec 2005 14:49:14 -0800
Date: 2005-12-09T14:49:14-08:00 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1134168554.826805.70690@g49g2000cwa.googlegroups.com> (raw)
Please consider these declarations for a task with some task local
data:
type Listener_Type;
task type Listener_Task_Type(Env : access Listener_Type);
type Listener_Type is
record
Port : Positive;
Executive : Listener_Task_Type(Listener_Type'Access);
end record;
With this, the executive task has access to the task local environment
exemplified here by a port number.
Here are the questions:
1. Is this a good idiom for implementing task local data, or is there
some other preferable method?
2. As I read the ALRM it is incorrect to deallocate a Listener_Type
object until the Executive task has exited. What is a good idiomatic
way for the Executive to deallocate its own task local storage just
before it exits and without causing a race condition? [The only ways I
can come up with seem like excessive machinery.]
Thanks in advance.
