Thanks.

Yes, with a few comments:

Suggest to mention Ada explicitly:

  @cindex breakpoints and tasks, in Ada

> +@cindex task breakpoints

Likewise.

> +@kindex break @dots{} task @var{taskno}

Similarly:

  @kindex break @dots{} task @var{taskno}@r{ (Ada)}

It is better to point to "Specify Location", where @var{linespec} is
_really_ described.

                                ^^^^^
What is this part?  Should we explain it in some footnote?  And what
about _task=0x11ffffc60 part, should it perhaps be explained, too?

"Running"? shouldn't it be stopped at breakpoint?

Finally, please add a cross-reference to here in the "Set Breaks"
node, saying that Ada supports thread-specific breakpoints.

Thanks.
