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

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