  66. <a name="index-Ravenscar-Profile"></a>
  67. <p>The <em>Ravenscar Profile</em> is a subset of the Ada tasking features,
  68. specifically designed for systems with safety-critical real-time
  69. requirements.

  82. <dd><p>Turn off task switching when debugging a program that uses the Ravenscar
  83. Profile. This is mostly intended to disable the code that adds support
  84. for the Ravenscar Profile, in case a bug in either <small>GDB</small> or in
  85. the Ravenscar runtime is preventing <small>GDB</small> from working properly.
  86. To be effective, this command should be run before the program is started.

  97. <p>When Ravenscar task-switching is enabled, Ravenscar tasks are
  98. announced by <small>GDB</small> as if they were threads:

  102. [New Ravenscar Thread 0x2b8f0]

  104. <p>Both Ravenscar tasks and the underlying CPU threads will show up in
  105. the output of <code>info threads</code>:

  117. <p>One known limitation of the Ravenscar support in <small>GDB</small> is that
  118. it isn&rsquo;t currently possible to single-step through the runtime
  119. initialization sequence. If you need to debug this code, you should
  120. use <code>set ravenscar task-switching off</code>.
