With gnat on windows you simply have to enable polling to get ATC's to work correctly. I remember ATC working properly on windows (with polling) since at least gnat 3.12p. Incidently, on gnat 3.15p with the command : gnatmake -gnatP testtask.adb you get an executable with the intended behavior. I am sure that pragma Polling would also work too. So I would like to know where in the documentation it is stated that ATC does not work due to Windows native threading scheme or why you didn't even bother to compile and test program with polling on. It took a whole 30 seconds to do.
