Gnat Ada Tasking and Threads

Gnat Ada Tasking and Threads

[Jakob Erber]

Hello,

are Gnat Ada Tasks based on the thread modell, the operating system offers
(for example pthreads), or does Gnat Ada implement its own threading system?

best regards

Jakob

This question is answered in the secret documentation furnished with each
GNAT
distribution -- in this case in the GNAT Reference Manual section entitled
Implementation-defined characteristics, item 94, i.e.:
94. The affect of implementation defined execution resources on task
dispatching. See D.2.1(9). Tasks map to threads in the threads package used
by GNAT. Where possible and appropriate, these threads correspond to native
threads of the underlying operating system.
