I have the following task specification:
with Ada.Real_Time; use Ada.Real_Time;
package pkg_task is
task type task_t is
activationTime : constant Integer := 1;
period : constant Integer := 2;
computingTime : constant Integer := 1;
startingTime : Time;
end task_t;
end pkg_task;
When I compile I obtain the error mentioned on the title in all the lines of the task specification where I declare the variables, and I don't know what is the problem.
As Jacob wrote, you can't export anything that is not an entry in tasks.
In this case, your task is really straightforward
package pkg_task is
task type task_t;
end pkg_task;
In the body, you can then use your variables.
package body pkg_task is
task body task_t is
Activation_Time : constant Integer := 1;
Period : constant Integer := 2;
Computing_Time : constant Integer := 1;
-- Starting_Time : Time;
begin
null;
end task_t;
end pkg_task;
Anyway, it would be easier if you explained us what you're trying to do.
The interface to a task is its entries, so you only declare entries in a task specification. Any local variables in a task are declared in the declarative part of the task body.
A task without any entries is simply declared:
task Something;
