-- Simple task lock and unlock routines
-- A small package containing a task lock and unlock routines for creating
-- a critical region. The lock involved is a global lock, shared by all
-- tasks, and by all calls to these routines, so these routines should be
-- used with care to avoid unnecessary reduction of concurrency.
package GNAT.Task_Lock is
pragma Elaborate_Body (Task_Lock);
procedure Lock;
pragma Inline (Lock);
-- Acquires the global lock, starts the execution of a critical region
-- which no other task can enter until the locking task calls Unlock
procedure Unlock;
pragma Inline (Unlock);
-- Releases the global lock, allowing another task to successfully
-- complete a Lock operation. Terminates the critical region.
end GNAT.Task_Lock;
