You create tasks in Ada just like you create variables of any other
type.  If you have a task type:

    task type T;

    task body T is
    begin
        ... 
    end T;

then you can create local tasks:

    X: T;

or you can create them in the heap:

    type T_Ptr is access T;

    X: T_Ptr := new T;

You can also have record components of type T, and create local records,
or records in the heap.
