I occasionally wonder what the intended purpose of the package
Ada.Task_Identification is. You cannot use the Task_ID to call
a task entry.
You can determine whether or not two task access objects access the
same task. You can determine whether or not a task is terminated
or callable. Finally, you can abort a task via the Task_ID.
Of course, you can determine whether or not a task is callable or
terminated without using Ada.Task_Identification. You can also
abort a task without using Ada.Task_Identification.
Is the only real use of this package to determine if two different
ID objects refer to the same task? Is this a common need? I have
never used a system that needs this ability.
