package System.Tasking.Abortion is
   procedure Abort_Tasks (Tasks : Task_List);
   --  Abort_Tasks is called to initiate abortion, however, the actual

   --  abortion is done by abortee by means of Abort_Handler
   procedure Change_Base_Priority (T : Task_ID);
   --  Change the base priority of T.

   --  Has to be called with T.Lock write locked.
   procedure Defer_Abortion;
   --  Defer the affects of low-level abortion in the calling task until a
   --  matching Undefer_Abortion call is executed.  Defer_Abortion can be
   --  nested; abortion will be deferred until the calling task has
   --  called Undefer_Abortion for each outstanding call to
   --  Defer_Abortion.  Note that abortion must be deferred before
   --  calling any low-level (GNULLI) services.

   pragma Inline (Defer_Abortion);
   procedure Undefer_Abortion;
   --  Undo the effects of one call to Defer_Abortion.  When the calling
   --  task has called Undefer_Abortion for each outstanding call to
   --  Defer_Abortion, any pending low-level abortion will take effect,
   --  and subsequent low-level abortions will have an immediate
   --  asynchronous effect.
