<h5 class="subsubsection">15.4.10.7 Extensions for Ada Tasks</h5>
<p><a name="index-Ada_002c-tasking-1070"></a>
Support for Ada tasks is analogous to that for threads (see <a href="Threads.html#Threads">Threads</a>).
<span class="sc">gdb</span> provides the following task-related commands:
<a name="index-info-tasks-1071"></a>
<dl><dt><code>info tasks</code><dd>This command shows a list of current Ada tasks, as in the following example:
<pre class="smallexample"> (gdb) info tasks
ID TID P-ID Pri State Name
1 8088000 0 15 Child Activation Wait main_task
2 80a4000 1 15 Accept Statement b
3 809a800 1 15 Child Activation Wait a
* 4 80ae800 3 15 Runnable c
</pre>
<p class="noindent">In this listing, the asterisk before the last task indicates it to be the
task currently being inspected.
<dl>
<dt>ID<dd>Represents <span class="sc">gdb</span>'s internal task number.
<br><dt>TID<dd>The Ada task ID.
<br><dt>P-ID<dd>The parent's task ID (<span class="sc">gdb</span>'s internal task number).
<br><dt>Pri<dd>The base priority of the task.
<br><dt>State<dd>Current state of the task.
<dl>
<dt><code>Unactivated</code><dd>The task has been created but has not been activated. It cannot be
executing.
<br><dt><code>Runnable</code><dd>The task is not blocked for any reason known to Ada. (It may be waiting
for a mutex, though.) It is conceptually "executing" in normal mode.
<br><dt><code>Terminated</code><dd>The task is terminated, in the sense of ARM 9.3 (5). Any dependents
that were waiting on terminate alternatives have been awakened and have
terminated themselves.
<br><dt><code>Child Activation Wait</code><dd>The task is waiting for created tasks to complete activation.
<br><dt><code>Accept Statement</code><dd>The task is waiting on an accept or selective wait statement.
<br><dt><code>Waiting on entry call</code><dd>The task is waiting on an entry call.
<br><dt><code>Async Select Wait</code><dd>The task is waiting to start the abortable part of an asynchronous
select statement.
<br><dt><code>Delay Sleep</code><dd>The task is waiting on a select statement with only a delay
alternative open.
<br><dt><code>Child Termination Wait</code><dd>The task is sleeping having completed a master within itself, and is
waiting for the tasks dependent on that master to become terminated or
waiting on a terminate Phase.
<br><dt><code>Wait Child in Term Alt</code><dd>The task is sleeping waiting for tasks on terminate alternatives to
finish terminating.
<br><dt><code>Accepting RV with </code><var>taskno</var><dd>The task is accepting a rendez-vous with the task <var>taskno</var>.
</dl>
<br><dt>Name<dd>Name of the task in the program.
</dl>
<p><a name="index-info-task-_0040var_007btaskno_007d-1072"></a><br><dt><code>info task </code><var>taskno</var><dd>This command shows detailled informations on the specified task, as in
the following example:
<pre class="smallexample"> (gdb) info tasks

<br><dt><code>task</code><dd><a name="index-task_0040r_007b-_0028Ada_0029_007d-1073"></a><a name="index-current-Ada-task-ID-1074"></a>This command prints the ID of the current task.

</pre>
<br><dt><code>task </code><var>taskno</var><dd><a name="index-Ada-task-switching-1075"></a>This command is like the <code>thread </code><var>thread-id</var>
command (see <a href="Threads.html#Threads">Threads</a>). It switches the context of debugging
from the current task to the given task.

command (see <a href="Thread-Stops.html#Thread-Stops">Thread Stops</a>). The
<var>location</var> argument specifies source lines, as described
in <a href="Specify-Location.html#Specify-Location">Specify Location</a>.
<p>Use the qualifier &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">task </span><var>taskno</var></samp>&rsquo; with a breakpoint command
to specify that you only want <span class="sc">gdb</span> to stop the program when a
particular Ada task reaches this breakpoint. The <var>taskno</var> is one of the
numeric task identifiers assigned by <span class="sc">gdb</span>, shown in the first
column of the &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">info tasks</span></samp>&rsquo; display.
<p>If you do not specify &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">task </span><var>taskno</var></samp>&rsquo; when you set a
breakpoint, the breakpoint applies to <em>all</em> tasks of your
program.
<p>You can use the <code>task</code> qualifier on conditional breakpoints as
well; in this case, place &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">task </span><var>taskno</var></samp>&rsquo; before the
breakpoint condition (before the <code>if</code>).
<p>For example,
