15.4.8.7 Tasking Support when using the Ravenscar Profile

The Ravenscar Profile is a subset of the Ada tasking features, specifically designed for systems with safety-critical real-time requirements.

set ravenscar task-switching on
Allows task switching when debugging a program that uses the Ravenscar Profile. This is the default.


set ravenscar task-switching off
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 gdb or in the Ravenscar runtime is preventing gdb from working properly. To be effective, this command should be run before the program is started.


show ravenscar task-switching
Show whether it is possible to switch from task to task in a program using the Ravenscar Profile.
