No, that doesn't do it. I believe the original poster wants to kill the
program (really, the "partition", in Ada terms, or the "process", in OS
terms), even if some tasks are in an abort-deferred state. Furthermore,
the desire is to skip finalization. Aborting the env task doesn't do
that.
So I think it's true that Ada has no portable way of doing what was
desired. Furthermore, I think it's a reasonable desire, in some rare
cases.
On the other hand, every OS has such a mechanism, and on most of them
it's called "exit". That's portable enough, in practise.
