34 -- This package contains the definitions and routines associated with the
35 -- implementation and use of the Task_Info pragma. It is specialized
36 -- appropriately for targets that make use of this pragma.
38 -- Note: the compiler generates direct calls to this interface, via Rtsfind.
39 -- Any changes to this interface may require corresponding compiler changes.
41 -- This unit may be used directly from an application program by providing
42 -- an appropriate WITH, and the interface can be expected to remain stable.
44 -- This is the Solaris (native) version of this module.

53 -- Binding of Tasks to LWPs and LWPs to processors --
54 -----------------------------------------------------
56 -- The Solaris implementation of the GNU Low-Level Interface (GNULLI)
57 -- implements each Ada task as a Solaris thread. The Solaris thread
58 -- library distributes threads across one or more LWPs (Light Weight
59 -- Process) that are members of the same process. Solaris distributes
60 -- processes and LWPs across the available CPUs on a given machine. The
61 -- pragma Task_Info provides the mechanism to control the distribution
62 -- of tasks to LWPs, and LWPs to processors.
64 -- Each thread has a number of attributes that dictate it's scheduling.
65 -- These attributes are:
67 -- New_LWP: whether a new LWP is created for this thread.
69 -- Bound_To_LWP: whether the thread is bound to a specific LWP
70 -- for its entire lifetime.
72 -- CPU: the CPU number associated to the LWP
75 -- The Task_Info pragma:
77 -- pragma Task_Info (EXPRESSION);
79 -- allows the specification on a task by task basis of a value of type
80 -- System.Task_Info.Task_Info_Type to be passed to a task when it is
81 -- created. The specification of this type, and the effect on the task
82 -- that is created is target dependent.
84 -- The Task_Info pragma appears within a task definition (compare the
85 -- definition and implementation of pragma Priority). If no such pragma
86 -- appears, then the value Task_Info_Unspecified is passed. If a pragma
87 -- is present, then it supplies an alternative value. If the argument of
88 -- the pragma is a discriminant reference, then the value can be set on
89 -- a task by task basis by supplying the appropriate discriminant value.
91 -- Note that this means that the type used for Task_Info_Type must be
92 -- suitable for use as a discriminant (i.e. a scalar or access type).
