Subject: Delayed deallocation of non-terminated task in Gnat?
Date: Tue, 30 Aug 2011 06:22:43 -0700 (PDT)

Saw this pop up in AdaCore's Developer Center notices:

>[GNAT] Automatic deallocation of task upon termination
>
>Monday August 29, 2011
>
>If Unchecked_Deallocation is called on a non-terminated task (which was previously a no-op),
>the task is now marked to be freed automatically when it terminates.

[http://www.adacore.com/2011/08/29/NF-65-H911-007-gnat/]

This *looks* to me like one could dynamically allocate a task instance
and then immediately free it with an instantiation of
Unchecked_Deallocation, yet the task would continue to function
normally until it terminates.

This seems rather a stretch to me, is there more to this than this
brief summary lets on?
