24 /// All instances are valid tasks created by the C portion of the kernel.
25 ///
26 /// Instances of this type are always ref-counted, that is, a call to `get_task_struct` ensures
27 /// that the allocation remains valid at least until the matching call to `put_task_struct`.
28 ///
29 /// # Examples
30 ///
31 /// The following is an example of getting the PID of the current thread with zero additional cost
32 /// when compared to the C version:
33 ///
34 /// ```
35 /// let pid = current!().pid();
36 /// ```
37 ///
38 /// Getting the PID of the current process, also zero additional cost:
39 ///
40 /// ```
41 /// let pid = current!().group_leader().pid();
42 /// ```
43 ///
44 /// Getting the current task and storing it in some struct. The reference count is automatically
45 /// incremented when creating `State` and decremented when it is dropped:
46 ///
47 /// ```
48 /// use kernel::{task::Task, types::ARef};
49 ///
50 /// struct State {
51 ///     creator: ARef<Task>,
52 ///     index: u32,

57 ///         Self {
58 ///             creator: current!().into(),
