76 -- Abstract Procedural Interface For The GNAT Dispatch Table --
77 ---------------------------------------------------------------
79 -- GNAT's Dispatch Table format is customizable in order to match the
80 -- format used in another language. GNAT supports programs that use two
81 -- different dispatch table formats at the same time: the native format
82 -- that supports Ada 95 tagged types and which is described in Ada.Tags,
83 -- and a foreign format for types that are imported from some other
84 -- language (typically C++) which is described in Interfaces.CPP. The
85 -- runtime information kept for each tagged type is separated into two
86 -- objects: the Dispatch Table and the Type Specific Data record. These
87 -- two objects are allocated statically using the constants:
89 -- DT Size = DT_Prologue_Size + Nb_Prim * DT_Entry_Size
90 -- TSD Size = TSD_Prologue_Size + (1 + Idepth) * TSD_Entry_Size
92 -- where Nb_prim is the number of primitive operations of the given
93 -- type and Idepth its inheritance depth.
95 -- In order to set or retrieve information from the Dispatch Table or
96 -- the Type Specific Data record, GNAT generates calls to Set_XXX or
97 -- Get_XXX routines, where XXX is the name of the field of interest.
