  61
  62    --  GNAT's Dispatch Table format is customizable in order to match the
  63    --  format used in another language. GNAT supports programs that use
  64    --  two different dispatch table formats at the same time: the native
  65    --  format that supports Ada 95 tagged types and which is described in
  66    --  Ada.Tags, and a foreign format for types that are imported from some
  67    --  other language (typically C++) which is described in Interfaces.CPP.
  68    --  The runtime information kept for each tagged type is separated into
  69    --  two objects: the Dispatch Table and the Type Specific Data record.
  70    --  These two objects are allocated statically using the constants:
  71
  72    --      DT Size  = DT_Prologue_Size  + Nb_Prim * DT_Entry_Size
  73    --      TSD Size = TSD_Prologue_Size + (1 + Idepth)  * TSD_Entry_Size
  74
  75    --  where Nb_prim is the number of primitive operations of the given
  76    --  type and Idepth its inheritance depth.
  77

  79    --  initialize those structures and uses the GET functions to
