<p>Support for Ada tasks is analogous to that for threads (see <a href="Threads.html#Threads">Threads</a>).

<small>GDB</small> provides the following task-related commands:

<dt><code>info tasks</code></dt>

|
<p>These commands are like the <code>break … thread …</code>
|
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>
|
<p>Use the qualifier ‘<samp>task <var>taskno</var></samp>’ with a breakpoint command
|
to specify that you only want <small>GDB</small> 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 <small>GDB</small>, shown in the first
|
column of the ‘<samp>info tasks</samp>’ display.
|
</p>
|
<p>If you do not specify ‘<samp>task <var>taskno</var></samp>’ when you set a
|
breakpoint, the breakpoint applies to <em>all</em> tasks of your
|
program.
|
</p>
|
<p>You can use the <code>task</code> qualifier on conditional breakpoints as
|
well; in this case, place ‘<samp>task <var>taskno</var></samp>’ before the
|
breakpoint condition (before the <code>if</code>).
