I'm trying to make a call to Ada.Task_Identification.Abort_Task
(Environment_Task) ; using the Gnat 3.14p compiler on WindowsNT. It is
failing to terminate the program. From looking at the documentation for:
pragma Polling and the -gnatP switch, its looking like I've got to do
something special to get this to work. A package body: 4wexcpol.adb seems to
be mentioned, but it is not clear how to get this included in the build. Can
anyone offer some advice on how to get the Abort_Task to kill the whole
program on demand? Thanks.
