Hello,

I have just checked in support for Ada tasking, together with the
documentation patch that Eli reviewed. Here is the associated NEWS
entry.

2008-10-22  Joel Brobecker  <brobecker@adacore.com>

        * NEWS: Add entry for new feature (Ada tasking support).

OK to commit?

Thanks,

Is "task ID" the same as "TASK_NO"?  If so, let's use a consistent

Yes, it's the same. How about:

    task
      Print the task number of the current task.

Fine, but then may I suggest

   info task N
     Print detailed information about task number N.

(and similar change in "task TASK_NO")?
