36 -- This is the default version used for all systems for which no special
37 -- target-specific version of this package is provided.
39 -- This package defines some system dependent parameters for GNAT. These
40 -- are values that are referenced by the runtime library and are therefore
41 -- relevant to the target machine.
43 -- The parameters whose value is defined in the spec are not generally
44 -- expected to be changed. If they are changed, it will be necessary to
45 -- recompile the run-time library.
47 -- The parameters which are defined by functions can be changed by modifying
48 -- the body of System.Parameters in file s-parame.adb. A change to this body
49 -- requires only rebinding and relinking of the application.
51 -- Note: do not introduce any pragma Inline statements into this unit, since
52 -- otherwise the relinking and rebinding capability would be deactivated.
