  35 --  This is the default version used for all systems for which no special
  36 --  target-specific version of this package is provided.
  37
  38 --  This package defines some system dependent parameters for GNAT. These
  39 --  are values that are referenced by the runtime library and are therefore
  40 --  relevant to the target machine.
  41
  42 --  The parameters whose value is defined in the spec are not generally
  43 --  expected to be changed. If they are changed, it will be necessary to
  44 --  recompile the run-time library.
  45
  46 --  The parameters which are defined by functions can be changed by modifying
  47 --  the body of System.Parameters in file s-parame.adb. A change to this body
  48 --  requires only rebinding and relinking of the application.
  49
  50 --  Note: do not introduce any pragma Inline statements into this unit, since
  51 --  otherwise the relinking and rebinding capability would be deactivated.
