I am working with Gnat 3.13a on Windows NT 4.0.

I would like to use gcov to profile our application containing several
tasks.
The problem is that the da-files are written when the application exits,
but because most tasks contain infinit loops, the main program will not
exit.
I tried Win32.Winbase.ExitProcess but no da-files are written then.

- so how to write intermediate profiling info to the da-files without
having to exit the application.
- or how to exit or terminate the application in such a way that the da-
files are written.
Note that aborting the tasks is not an option because not all tasks-
names are known or in scope.

Regards,
Jorg van Daelen
