I disabled it (i.e., it's not compiled) in the latest version of the patch I sent, and do not expect it to be reviewed. We've decided that now is as good a time as any to do a much-needed major revision of ada-tasks.c; I'm not sure right now if I want to remove the source entirely from the repository. Depends on how major a change I need. The "underlying issues" are that Ada has tasks and they are (in general) built on top of, but in principle distinct from threads. As for why to put it in a separate file---well it's messy, due to the fact that tasks map onto threads differently on every single confounded platform, it seems. > Did that previous ChangeLog problem get fixed? Not yet, but I haven't forgotten it. It must go in, but I fear it will be of no help for the current task. Paul Hilfinger
