Re: Ravenscar - program termination

Well, it terminates. What does termination mean in a "high integrity"
embedded system -- does the hardware go away? :-). I think if someone
wants to shutdown such a system the thing happening is, that every
task goes into idle mode and the last thing a controlling task does,
is, to display (or otherwise indicate) "you may now shut off power,
the countdown to eject the warp core has been stopped" or something
like this.

Termination in an embedded system often means the processor no longer has power :)
