The cleanest way would be a protected generator of unique task IDs:

    protected ID is
       procedure Get (ID : out Integer);
    private
       Free : Integer := 0;
    end ID;

       procedure Get (ID : out Integer) is
       begin
           ID := Free;
           Free := Free + 1;
       end Get;

    task body T is
       D : Integer;
    begin
       ID.Get (D);
       ...
    end T;

No discriminants.
