+ * \brief Creates a new #m_task_t (a parallel one....).
+ *
+ * A constructor for #m_task_t taking six arguments and returning the
+ corresponding object.
+ * \param name a name for the object. It is for user-level information
+ and can be NULL.
+ * \param host_nb the number of hosts implied in the parallel task.
+ * \param host_list an array of \p host_nb m_host_t.
+ * \param computation_amount an array of \p host_nb
+ doubles. computation_amount[i] is the total number of operations
+ that have to be performed on host_list[i].
+ * \param communication_amount an array of \p host_nb* \p host_nb doubles.
+ * \param data a pointer to any data may want to attach to the new
+ object. It is for user-level information and can be NULL. It can
+ be retrieved with the function \ref MSG_task_get_data.
+ * \see m_task_t
+ * \return The new corresponding object.
