+-----------------------------
+-- Use of These Functions --
+-----------------------------
+
+-- Calling complicated functions from the debugger is generally pretty
+-- risky, especially in a multithreaded program.
+
+-- The debugger may interrupt something that is not an Ada task,
+-- within the thread implementation, and which is not async-safe.
+
+-- For example, under Solaris, it can interrupt code in "_dynamiclwps",
+-- which seems to serve as dispatcher when all the user threads are
+-- suspended. By experience, we have found that one cannot safely
+-- do certain things, apparently including calls to thread primitives
+-- from the debugger if the debugger has interrupted at one of these
+-- unsafe points. In general, if you interrupt a running program
+-- asynchronously (e.g. via control-C), it will not be safe to
+-- call the subprograms in this package.
+
+-----------------
+-- Future work --
+-----------------
+
+-- It would be nice to be able to tell whether execution has been
+-- interrupted in an Ada task. A heuristic way of checking this would
+-- be if we added to the Ada TCB a component that always contains a
+-- constant value that is unlikely to occur accidentally in code or
+-- data. We could then check this in the debugger-callable subprograms,
+-- and simply return an error code if it looks unsafe to proceed.
+
+-- ???
+-- Recently we have added such a marker as a local variable of the
+-- task-wrapper routine. This allows Self to generate a fake ATCB for
+-- non-Ada threads of control. Given this capability, it is probably
+-- time to revisit the issue above.
+
+-- DEADLOCK
+
+-- We follow a simple rule here to avoid deadlock:
+
+-- We do not use any locks in functions called by gdb, and we do not
+-- traverse linked lists.
+--
+-- The use of an array (Known_Tasks) has many advantages:
+
+-- - Easy and fast to examine;
+-- - No risk of dangling references (to the next element) when traversing
+-- the array.
