The documentation for rt_task_shadow says:

   task The address of a task descriptor Xenomai will use to store the
        task-related data. This descriptor must always be valid while
        the task is active therefore it must be allocated in permanent
        memory.

Is it correct to assume that it is OK to the following:

   void func() {
     RT_TASK task;
     int err;

     err = rt_task_shadow(&task, ...);
     ...  Realtime activities ...
     if (err == 0) {
       rt_task_delete(&task);
     }
   }
