Date: 1999/03/19 Message-ID: #1/1 X-Deja-AN: 456743660 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.72.3155.0 Newsgroups: comp.lang.ada Date: 1999-03-19T00:00:00+00:00 List-Id: Question: Say you dynamically create a task using the "new" operator, the task runs and terminates normally. Should you then use an instantiation of Unchecked_Deallocation() to free the memory allocated to the pointer to the task as you would with any other data type? Or is that not needed with tasks? Can not find any details on this topic. I only know that it is a no-no to free the pointer as a means of terminating the task. Thanks, George
