Subject: Equivalent to C++'s 'this' for tasks?

Message-ID: <5ltfe8$edr$1@goanna.cs.rmit.edu.au> (raw)


If I wanted to create a task...

	task type a;
	task type a_ptr is access all task;
	
	task type a;
	
would it be possible in the body of a to construct/obtain
a pointer to the task?

Something like...

	task body a is
	   me : a_ptr;
	begin
	   me := ???'{Unchecked_}Access;
	
	end;

You could then pass this information around and let other
parts of the program query this object as to its state, or
would I have to allocate the object dynamically and hand it
the access value as part of an initialisation entry?
