Understanding GNAT Ada task states under VxWorks5.5

Ada Core Technologies' GNAT Pro for Tornado provides an implementation of Ada'95 which maps Ada tasks directly onto VxWorks tasks. However, the task state models for VxWorks applications and Ada applications use different terminology and transitions. This technical note discusses the different models and illustrates the mapping between them through the debugging of a multi-task Ada application under VxWorks5.5
