34 -- This package obtains parameters from the target runtime version of
35 -- System, to indicate parameters relevant to the target environment.
37 -- Conceptually, these parameters could be obtained using rtsfind, but
38 -- we do not do this for four reasons:
40 -- 1. Compiling System for every compilation wastes time
42 -- 2. This compilation impedes debugging by adding extra compile steps
44 -- 3. There are recursion problems coming from compiling System itself
45 -- or any of its children.
47 -- 4. The binder also needs the parameters, and we do not want to have
48 -- to drag a lot of front end stuff into the binder.
50 -- For all these reasons, we read in the source of System, and then scan
51 -- it at the text level to extract the parameter values.
53 -- Note however, that later on, when the ali file is written, we make sure
54 -- that the System file is at least parsed, so that the checksum is properly
55 -- computed and set in the ali file. This partially negates points 1 and 2
56 -- above although just parsing is quick and does not impact debugging much.
58 -- The parameters acquired by this routine from system.ads fall into four
59 -- categories:
61 -- 1. Configuration pragmas, that must appear at the start of the file.
62 -- Any such pragmas automatically apply to any unit compiled in the
63 -- presence of this system file. Only a limited set of such pragmas
64 -- may appear as documented in the corresponding section below,
66 -- 2. Target parameters. These are boolean constants that are defined
67 -- in the private part of the package giving fixed information
68 -- about the target architecture, and the capabilities of the
69 -- code generator and run-time library.
71 -- 3. Identification information. This is an optional string constant
72 -- that gives the name of the run-time library configuration. This
73 -- line may be ommitted for a version of system.ads to be used with
74 -- the full Ada 95 run time.
76 -- 4. Other characterisitics of package System. At the current time the
77 -- only item in this category is whether type Address is private.

85 -- Configuration Pragmas --
86 ---------------------------
88 -- The following switches get set if the corresponding configuration
89 -- pragma is scanned from the source of system.ads. No other pragmas
90 -- are permitted to appear at the start of the system.ads source file.
92 -- If a pragma Discard_Names appears, then Opt.Global_Discard_Names is
93 -- set to True to indicate that all units must be compiled in this mode.
95 -- If a pragma Locking_Policy appears, then Opt.Locking_Policy is set
96 -- to the first character of the policy name, and Opt.Locking_Policy_Sloc
97 -- is set to System_Location.
99 -- If a pragma Normalize_Scalars appears, then Opt.Normalize_Scalars
100 -- is set True, as well as Opt.Init_Or_Norm_Scalars.
102 -- If a pragma Queuing_Policy appears, then Opt.Queuing_Policy is set
103 -- to the first character of the policy name, and Opt.Queuing_Policy_Sloc
104 -- is set to System_Location.
106 -- If a pragma Task_Dispatching_Policy appears, then the flag
107 -- Opt.Task_Dispatching_Policy is set to the first character of the
108 -- policy name, and Opt.Task_Dispatching_Policy_Sloc is set to
109 -- System_Location.
111 -- If a pragma Polling (On) appears, then the flag Opt.Polling_Required
112 -- is set to True.
114 -- If a pragma Detect_Blocking appears, then the flag Opt.Detect_Blocking
115 -- is set to True.
117 -- if a pragma Suppress_Exception_Locations appears, then the flag
118 -- Opt.Exception_Locations_Suppressed is set to True.
120 -- If a pragma Profile with a valid profile argument appears, then
121 -- the appropriate restrictions and policy flags are set.
123 -- The only other pragma allowed is a pragma Restrictions that specifies
124 -- a restriction that will be imposed on all units in the partition. Note
125 -- that in this context, only one restriction can be specified in a single
126 -- pragma, and the pragma must appear on its own on a single source line.
128 -- If package System contains exactly the line "type Address is private;"
129 -- then the flag Opt.Address_Is_Private is set True, otherwise this flag
130 -- is set False.
132 Restrictions_On_Target : Restrictions_Info;
133 -- Records restrictions specified by system.ads. Only the Set and Value
134 -- members are modified. The Violated and Count fields are never modified.
135 -- Note that entries can be set either by a pragma Restrictions or by
136 -- a pragma Profile.
138 -------------------
139 -- Run Time Name --
140 -------------------
142 -- This parameter should be regarded as read only by all clients of
143 -- of package. The only way they get modified is by calling the
144 -- Get_Target_Parameters routine which reads the values from a provided
145 -- text buffer containing the source of the system package.
147 -- The corresponding string constant is placed immediately at the start
148 -- of the private part of system.ads if is present, e.g. in the form:
150 -- Run_Time_Name : constant String := "Zero Footprint Run Time";
152 -- the corresponding messages will look something like
154 -- xxx not supported (Zero Footprint Run Time)
156 Run_Time_Name_On_Target : Name_Id := No_Name;
157 -- Set to appropriate names table entry Id value if a Run_Time_Name
158 -- string constant is defined in system.ads. This name is used only
159 -- for the configurable run-time case, and is used to parametrize
160 -- messages that complain about non-supported run-time features.
161 -- The name should contain only letters A-Z, digits 1-9, spaces,
162 -- and underscores.
164 -----------------------
165 -- Target Parameters --
166 -----------------------
168 -- The following parameters correspond to the variables defined in the
169 -- private part of System (without the terminating _On_Target). Note
170 -- that it is required that all parameters defined here be specified
171 -- in the target specific version of system.ads (there are no defaults).
173 -- All these parameters should be regarded as read only by all clients
174 -- of the package. The only way they get modified is by calling the
175 -- Get_Target_Parameters routine which reads the values from a provided
176 -- text buffer containing the source of the system package.
178 -- The default values here are used if no value is found in system.ads.
179 -- This should normally happen only if the special version of system.ads
180 -- used by the compiler itself is in use. The default values are suitable
181 -- for use by the compiler itself in normal environments. This approach
182 -- allows the possibility of new versions of the compiler (possibly with
183 -- new system parameters added) being used to compile older versions of
184 -- the compiler sources. This is not guaranteed to work, but often will
185 -- and by setting appropriate default values, we make it more likely that
186 -- this can succeed.
188 Compiler_System_Version : Boolean := True;
189 -- This is set False in all target dependent versions of System. In the
190 -- compiler default version, it is omitted entirely, meaning that the
191 -- above default value of True will be set. If the flag is False, then
192 -- the scanning circuits in the body of this package do an error check to
193 -- ensure that all parameters other than this one are specified and not
194 -- defaulted. If the parameter is set True, then this check is omitted,
195 -- and any parameters not present in system.ads are left set to their
196 -- default value as described above.
198 ----------------------------
199 -- Special Target Control --
200 ----------------------------
202 -- The great majority of GNAT ports are based on GCC. The switches in
203 -- This section indicate the use of some non-standard target back end
204 -- or other special targetting requirements.
206 AAMP_On_Target : Boolean := False;
207 -- Set to True if target is AAMP
209 OpenVMS_On_Target : Boolean := False;
210 -- Set to True if target is OpenVMS
212 -------------------------------
213 -- Backend Arithmetic Checks --
214 -------------------------------
216 -- Divide and overflow checks are either done in the front end or
217 -- back end. The front end will generate checks when required unless
218 -- the corresponding parameter here is set to indicate that the back
219 -- end will generate the required checks (or that the checks are
220 -- automatically performed by the hardware in an appropriate form).
222 Backend_Divide_Checks_On_Target : Boolean := False;
223 -- Set True if the back end generates divide checks, or if the hardware
224 -- checks automatically. Set False if the front end must generate the
225 -- required tests using explicit expanded code.
227 Backend_Overflow_Checks_On_Target : Boolean := False;
228 -- Set True if the back end generates arithmetic overflow checks, or if
229 -- the hardware checks automatically. Set False if the front end must
230 -- generate the required tests using explicit expanded code.
232 -----------------------------------
233 -- Control of Exception Handling --
234 -----------------------------------
236 -- GNAT implements three methods of implementing exceptions:
238 -- Front-End Longjmp/Setjmp Exceptions
240 -- This approach uses longjmp/setjmp to handle exceptions. It
241 -- uses less storage, and can often propagate exceptions faster,
242 -- at the expense of (sometimes considerable) overhead in setting
243 -- up an exception handler. This approach is available on all
244 -- targets, and is the default where it is the only approach.
246 -- The generation of the setjmp and longjmp calls is handled by
247 -- the front end of the compiler (this includes gigi in the case
248 -- of the standard GCC back end). It does not use any back end
249 -- suport (such as the GCC3 exception handling mechanism). When
250 -- this approach is used, the compiler generates special exception
251 -- handlers for handling cleanups when an exception is raised.
253 -- Front-End Zero Cost Exceptions
255 -- This approach uses separate exception tables. These use extra
256 -- storage, and exception propagation can be quite slow, but there
257 -- is no overhead in setting up an exception handler (it is to this
258 -- latter operation that the phrase zero-cost refers). This approach
259 -- is only available on some targets, and is the default where it is
260 -- available.
262 -- The generation of the exception tables is handled by the front
263 -- end of the compiler. It does not use any back end support (such
264 -- as the GCC3 exception handling mechanism). When this approach
265 -- is used, the compiler generates special exception handlers for
266 -- handling cleanups when an exception is raised.
268 -- Back-End Zero Cost Exceptions
270 -- With this approach, the back end handles the generation and
271 -- handling of exceptions. For example, the GCC3 exception handling
272 -- mechanisms are used in this mode. The front end simply generates
273 -- code for explicit exception handlers, and AT END cleanup handlers
274 -- are simply passed unchanged to the backend for generating cleanups
275 -- both in the exceptional and non-exceptional cases.
277 -- As the name implies, this approach generally uses a zero-cost
278 -- mechanism with tables, but the tables are generated by the back
279 -- end. However, since the back-end is entirely responsible for the
280 -- handling of exceptions, another mechanism might be used. In the
281 -- case of GCC3 for instance, it might be the case that the compiler
282 -- is configured for setjmp/longjmp handling, then everything will
283 -- work correctly. However, it is definitely preferred that the
284 -- back end provide zero cost exception handling.
286 -- Controlling the selection of methods
288 -- On most implementations, back-end zero-cost exceptions are used.
289 -- Otherwise, Front-End Longjmp/Setjmp approach is used.
290 -- Note that there is a requirement that all Ada units in a partition
291 -- be compiled with the same exception model.
293 -- Control of Available Methods and Defaults
295 -- The following switches specify whether ZCX is available, and
296 -- whether it is enabled by default.
298 ZCX_By_Default_On_Target : Boolean := False;
299 -- Indicates if zero cost exceptions are active by default. If this
300 -- variable is False, then the only possible exception method is the
301 -- front-end setjmp/longjmp approach, and this is the default. If
302 -- this variable is True, then GCC ZCX is used.
304 GCC_ZCX_Support_On_Target : Boolean := False;
305 -- Indicates that the target supports GCC Exceptions
307 ------------------------------------
308 -- Run-Time Library Configuration --
309 ------------------------------------
311 -- In configurable run-time mode, the system run-time may not support
312 -- the full Ada language. The effect of setting this switch is to let
313 -- the compiler know that it is not surprising (i.e. the system is not
314 -- misconfigured) if run-time library units or entities within units are
315 -- not present in the run-time.
317 Configurable_Run_Time_On_Target : Boolean := False;
318 -- Indicates that the system.ads file is for a configurable run-time
320 -- This has some specific effects as follows
322 -- The binder generates the gnat_argc/argv/envp variables in the
323 -- binder file instead of being imported from the run-time library.
324 -- If Command_Line_Args_On_Target is set to False, then the
325 -- generation of these variables is suppressed completely.
327 -- The binder generates the gnat_exit_status variable in the binder
328 -- file instead of being imported from the run-time library. If
329 -- Exit_Status_Supported_On_Target is set to False, then the
330 -- generation of this variable is suppressed entirely.
332 -- The routine __gnat_break_start is defined within the binder file
333 -- instead of being imported from the run-time library.
335 -- The variable __gnat_exit_status is generated within the binder file
336 -- instead of being imported from the run-time library.
338 Suppress_Standard_Library_On_Target : Boolean := False;
339 -- If this flag is True, then the standard library is not included by
340 -- default in the executable (see unit System.Standard_Library in file
341 -- s-stalib.ads for details of what this includes). This is for example
342 -- set True for the zero foot print case, where these files should not
343 -- be included by default.
345 -- This flag has some other related effects:
347 -- The generation of global variables in the bind file is suppressed,
348 -- with the exception of the priority of the environment task, which
349 -- is needed by the Ravenscar run-time.
351 -- The calls to __gnat_initialize and __gnat_finalize are omitted
353 -- All finalization and initialization (controlled types) is omitted
355 -- The routine __gnat_handler_installed is not imported
357 Preallocated_Stacks_On_Target : Boolean := False;
358 -- If this flag is True, then the expander preallocates all task stacks
359 -- at compile time. If the flag is False, then task stacks are not pre-
360 -- allocated, and task stack allocation is the responsibility of the
361 -- run-time (which typically delegates the task to the underlying
362 -- operating system environment).
364 ---------------------
365 -- Duration Format --
366 ---------------------
368 -- By default, type Duration is a 64-bit fixed-point type with a delta
369 -- and small of 10**(-9) (i.e. it is a count in nanoseconds. This flag
370 -- allows that standard format to be modified.
372 Duration_32_Bits_On_Target : Boolean := False;
373 -- If True, then Duration is represented in 32 bits and the delta and
374 -- small values are set to 20.0*(10**(-3)) (i.e. it is a count in units
375 -- of 20 milliseconds.
377 ------------------------------------
378 -- Back-End Code Generation Flags --
379 ------------------------------------
381 -- These flags indicate possible limitations in what the code generator
382 -- can handle. They will all be True for a full run-time, but one or more
383 -- of these may be false for a configurable run-time, and if a feature is
384 -- used at the source level, and the corresponding flag is false, then an
385 -- error message will be issued saying the feature is not supported.
387 Support_64_Bit_Divides_On_Target : Boolean := True;
388 -- If True, the back end supports 64-bit divide operations. If False, then
389 -- the source program may not contain 64-bit divide operations. This is
390 -- specifically useful in the zero foot-print case, where the issue is
391 -- whether there is a hardware divide instruction for 64-bits so that
392 -- no run-time support is required. It should always be set True if the
393 -- necessary run-time support is present.
395 Support_Aggregates_On_Target : Boolean := True;
396 -- In the general case, the use of aggregates may generate calls
397 -- to run-time routines in the C library, including memset, memcpy,
398 -- memmove, and bcopy. This flag is set to True if these routines
399 -- are available. If any of these routines is not available, then
400 -- this flag is False, and the use of aggregates is not permitted.
402 Support_Composite_Assign_On_Target : Boolean := True;
403 -- The assignment of composite objects other than small records and
404 -- arrays whose size is 64-bits or less and is set by an explicit
405 -- size clause may generate calls to memcpy, memmove, and bcopy.
406 -- If versions of all these routines are available, then this flag
407 -- is set to True. If any of these routines is not available, then
408 -- the flag is set False, and composite assignments are not allowed.
410 Support_Composite_Compare_On_Target : Boolean := True;
411 -- If this flag is True, then the back end supports bit-wise comparison
412 -- of composite objects for equality, either generating inline code or
413 -- calling appropriate (and available) run-time routines. If this flag
414 -- is False, then the back end does not provide this support, and the
415 -- front end uses component by component comparison for composites.
417 Support_Long_Shifts_On_Target : Boolean := True;
418 -- If True, the back end supports 64-bit shift operations. If False, then
419 -- the source program may not contain explicit 64-bit shifts. In addition,
420 -- the code generated for packed arrays will avoid the use of long shifts.
422 -------------------------------
423 -- Control of Stack Checking --
424 -------------------------------
426 -- GNAT provides two methods of implementing exceptions:
428 -- GCC Probing Mechanism
430 -- This approach uses the standard GCC mechanism for
431 -- stack checking. The method assumes that accessing
432 -- storage immediately beyond the end of the stack
433 -- will result in a trap that is converted to a storage
434 -- error by the runtime system. This mechanism has
435 -- minimal overhead, but requires complex hardware,
436 -- operating system and run-time support. Probing is
437 -- the default method where it is available. The stack
438 -- size for the environment task depends on the operating
439 -- system and cannot be set in a system-independent way.
441 -- GNAT Stack-limit Checking
443 -- This method relies on comparing the stack pointer
444 -- with per-task stack limits. If the check fails, an
445 -- exception is explicitly raised. The advantage is
446 -- that the method requires no extra system dependent
447 -- runtime support and can be used on systems without
448 -- memory protection as well, but at the cost of more
449 -- overhead for doing the check. This method is the
450 -- default on systems that lack complete support for
451 -- probing.
453 Stack_Check_Probes_On_Target : Boolean := False;
454 -- Indicates if stack check probes are used, as opposed to the standard
455 -- target independent comparison method.
457 Stack_Check_Default_On_Target : Boolean := False;
458 -- Indicates if stack checking is on by default
460 ----------------------------
461 -- Command Line Arguments --
462 ----------------------------
464 -- For most ports of GNAT, command line arguments are supported. The
465 -- following flag is set to False for targets that do not support
466 -- command line arguments (VxWorks and AAMP). Note that support of
467 -- command line arguments is not required on such targets (RM A.15(13)).
469 Command_Line_Args_On_Target : Boolean := True;
470 -- Set False if no command line arguments on target. Note that if this
471 -- is False in with Configurable_Run_Time_On_Target set to True, then
472 -- this causes suppression of generation of the argv/argc variables
473 -- used to record command line arguments.
475 -- Similarly, most ports support the use of an exit status, but AAMP
476 -- is an exception (as allowed by RM A.15(18-20))
478 Exit_Status_Supported_On_Target : Boolean := True;
479 -- Set False if returning of an exit status is not supported on target.
480 -- Note that if this False in with Configurable_Run_Time_On_Target
481 -- set to True, then this causes suppression of the gnat_exit_status
482 -- variable used to record the exit status.
484 -----------------------
485 -- Main Program Name --
486 -----------------------
488 -- When the binder generates the main program to be used to create the
489 -- executable, the main program name is main by default (to match the
490 -- usual Unix practice). If this parameter is set to True, then the
491 -- name is instead by default taken from the actual Ada main program
492 -- name (just the name of the child if the main program is a child unit).
493 -- In either case, this value can be overridden using -M name.
495 Use_Ada_Main_Program_Name_On_Target : Boolean := False;
496 -- Set True to use the Ada main program name as the main name
498 ----------------------------------------------
499 -- Boolean-Valued Floating-Point Attributes --
500 ----------------------------------------------
502 -- The constants below give the values for representation oriented
503 -- floating-point attributes that are the same for all float types
504 -- on the target. These are all boolean values.
506 -- A value is only True if the target reliably supports the corresponding
507 -- feature. Reliably here means that support is guaranteed for all
508 -- possible settings of the relevant compiler switches (like -mieee),
509 -- since we cannot control the user setting of those switches.
511 -- The attributes cannot dependent on the current setting of compiler
512 -- switches, since the values must be static and consistent throughout
513 -- the partition. We probably should add such consistency checks in future,
514 -- but for now we don't do this.
516 -- Note: the compiler itself does not use floating-point, so the
517 -- settings of the defaults here are not really relevant.
519 -- Note: in some cases, proper support of some of these floating point
520 -- features may require a specific switch (e.g. -mieee on the Alpha)
521 -- to be used to obtain full RM compliant support.
523 Denorm_On_Target : Boolean := False;
524 -- Set to False on targets that do not reliably support denormals
526 Machine_Rounds_On_Target : Boolean := True;
527 -- Set to False for targets where S'Machine_Rounds is False
529 Machine_Overflows_On_Target : Boolean := False;
530 -- Set to True for targets where S'Machine_Overflows is True
532 Signed_Zeros_On_Target : Boolean := True;
533 -- Set to False on targets that do not reliably support signed zeros
535 -------------------------------------------
536 -- Boolean-Valued Fixed-Point Attributes --
537 -------------------------------------------
539 Fractional_Fixed_Ops_On_Target : Boolean := False;
540 -- Set to True for targets that support fixed-by-fixed multiplication
541 -- and division for fixed-point types with a small value equal to
542 -- 2 ** (-(T'Object_Size - 1)) and whose values have an absolute
543 -- value less than 1.0.
545 --------------------------------------------------------------
546 -- Handling of Unconstrained Values Returned from Functions --
547 --------------------------------------------------------------
549 -- Functions that return variable length objects, notably unconstrained
550 -- arrays are a special case, because there is no simple obvious way of
551 -- implementing this feature. Furthermore, this capability is not present
552 -- in C++ or C, so typically the system ABI does not handle this case.
554 -- GNAT uses two different approaches
556 -- The Secondary Stack
558 -- The secondary stack is a special storage pool that is used for
559 -- this purpose. The called function places the result on the
560 -- secondary stack, and the caller uses or copies the value from
561 -- the secondary stack, and pops the secondary stack after the
562 -- value is consumed. The secondary stack is outside the system
563 -- ABI, and the important point is that although generally it is
564 -- handled in a stack like manner corresponding to the subprogram
565 -- call structure, a return from a function does NOT pop the stack.
567 -- DSP (Depressed Stack Pointer)
569 -- Some targets permit the implementation of a function call/return
570 -- protocol in which the function does not pop the main stack pointer
571 -- on return, but rather returns with the stack pointer depressed.
572 -- This is not generally permitted by any ABI, but for at least some
573 -- targets, the implementation of alloca provides a model for this
574 -- approach. If return-with-DSP is implemented, then functions that
