NAME
- RemTask
-
remove a Task from the system
SYNOPSIS
RemTask(task)
void RemTask(struct Task *);
A1
FUNCTION
This function removes a Task from the system. Deallocation of resources should have been performed prior to calling this function. Removing some other Task is very dangerous. Generally, is is best to arrange for Tasks to call RemTask(NULL) on themselves.
RemTask() will automagically free any memory lists attached to the Task->tc_MemEntry list.
RemTask() will automagically free any memory lists attached to the Task->tc_MemEntry list.
INPUTS
- task
-
pointer to the Task node representing the Task to be removed. A zero value indicates self removal, and will cause the next ready Task to begin execution.
BUGS
Before Kickstart 2.0 (V36) if RemTask() was called on a Task other than the current task, and that task was created with amiga.lib/CreateTask(), there was a slight chance of a crash. The problem can be hidden by bracketing RemTask() with Forbid()/Permit().
