32 -- This is the OpenVMS Alpha version
34 -- This package defines some system dependent parameters for GNAT. These
35 -- are values that are referenced by the runtime library and are therefore
36 -- relevant to the target machine.
38 -- The parameters whose value is defined in the spec are not generally
39 -- expected to be changed. If they are changed, it will be necessary to
40 -- recompile the run-time library.
42 -- The parameters which are defined by functions can be changed by modifying
43 -- the body of System.Parameters in file s-parame.adb. A change to this body
44 -- requires only rebinding and relinking of the application.
46 -- Note: do not introduce any pragma Inline statements into this unit, since
47 -- otherwise the relinking and rebinding capability would be deactivated.

167 -- depends on the scheduling policy.

175 -- transfer of control (ATC) are disallowed. If set to True, it is
176 -- assumed that neither construct is used, and the run time does not
177 -- need to defer/undefer abort and check for pending actions at
178 -- completion points. A value of True for No_Abort corresponds to:
