- <h4 class="subsubsection">15.4.10.9 Tasking Support when using the Ravenscar Profile</h4>
- <a name="index-Ravenscar-Profile"></a>
-
- <p>The <em>Ravenscar Profile</em> is a subset of the Ada tasking features,
- specifically designed for systems with safety-critical real-time
- requirements.
- </p>
- <dl compact="compact">
- <dd><a name="index-set-ravenscar-task_002dswitching-on"></a>
- <a name="index-task-switching-with-program-using-Ravenscar-Profile"></a>
- </dd>
- <dt><code>set ravenscar task-switching on</code></dt>
- <dd><p>Allows task switching when debugging a program that uses the Ravenscar
- Profile. This is the default.
- </p>
- <a name="index-set-ravenscar-task_002dswitching-off"></a>
- </dd>
- <dt><code>set ravenscar task-switching off</code></dt>
- <dd><p>Turn off task switching when debugging a program that uses the Ravenscar
- Profile. This is mostly intended to disable the code that adds support
- for the Ravenscar Profile, in case a bug in either <small>GDB</small> or in
- the Ravenscar runtime is preventing <small>GDB</small> from working properly.
- To be effective, this command should be run before the program is started.
- </p>
- <a name="index-show-ravenscar-task_002dswitching"></a>
- </dd>
- <dt><code>show ravenscar task-switching</code></dt>
- <dd><p>Show whether it is possible to switch from task to task in a program
- using the Ravenscar Profile.
- </p>
- </dd>
- </dl>
-
- <a name="index-Ravenscar-thread"></a>
- <p>When Ravenscar task-switching is enabled, Ravenscar tasks are
- announced by <small>GDB</small> as if they were threads:
- </p>
- <div class="smallexample">
- <pre class="smallexample">(gdb) continue
- [New Ravenscar Thread 0x2b8f0]
- </pre></div>
-
- <p>Both Ravenscar tasks and the underlying CPU threads will show up in
- the output of <code>info threads</code>:
- </p>
- <div class="smallexample">
- <pre class="smallexample">(gdb) info threads
- Id Target Id Frame
- 1 Thread 1 (CPU#0 [running]) simple () at simple.adb:10
- 2 Thread 2 (CPU#1 [running]) 0x0000000000003d34 in __gnat_initialize_cpu_devices ()
- 3 Thread 3 (CPU#2 [running]) 0x0000000000003d28 in __gnat_initialize_cpu_devices ()
- 4 Thread 4 (CPU#3 [halted ]) 0x000000000000c6ec in system.task_primitives.operations.idle ()
- * 5 Ravenscar Thread 0x2b8f0 simple () at simple.adb:10
- 6 Ravenscar Thread 0x2f150 0x000000000000c6ec in system.task_primitives.operations.idle ()
- </pre></div>
-
- <p>One known limitation of the Ravenscar support in <small>GDB</small> is that
- it isn’t currently possible to single-step through the runtime
- initialization sequence. If you need to debug this code, you should
- use <code>set ravenscar task-switching off</code>.
