What happens if we have Tasks without any entries ?

The tasks are instanstiated when the task body
is elobrated .
If there are more then one tasks I think
the implementation decides which task starts first
and then the tasks are inter-leaved (including the implicit main task).

Is it possible to provide mutual exclusion and synchronization
to these tasks using pragma shared on a integer variable and
using it as a semaphore?
Would it depend on how implementation deals with tasks 
(multi-tasking or time-slicing)?
