35 -- Host/Target Dependencies --
36 ------------------------------
38 -- It is vital to maintain a clear distinction between properties of
39 -- types on the host and types on the target, since in the general
40 -- case of a cross-compiler these will be different.
42 -- This package provides definitions of values that describe the properties
43 -- of the target types. All instances of target dependencies, including the
44 -- definitions of such packages as Standard and System depend directly or
45 -- indirectly on the definitions in the Ttypes packages.
47 -- In the source of the compiler, references to attributes such as
48 -- Integer'Size will give information regarding the host types (i.e.
49 -- the types within the compiler itself). Such references are therefore
50 -- almost always suspicious (it is hard for example to see that the
51 -- code in the compiler should even be using type Integer very much,
52 -- and certainly this code should not depend on the size of Integer).
54 -- On the other hand, it is perfectly reasonable for the compiler to
55 -- require access to the size of type Integer for the target machine,
56 -- e.g. in constructing the internal representation of package Standard.
57 -- For this purpose, instead of referencing the attribute Integer'Size,
58 -- a reference to Ttypes.Standard_Integer_Size will provide the needed
59 -- value for the target type.
61 -- Two approaches are used for handling target dependent values in the
62 -- standard library packages. Package Standard is handled specially,
63 -- being constructed internally (by package Stand). Target dependent
64 -- values needed in Stand are obtained by direct reference to Ttypes
67 -- For package System, the required constant values are obtained by
68 -- referencing appropriate attributes. Ada 95 already defines most of
69 -- the required attributes, and GNAT specific attributes have been
70 -- defined to cover the remaining cases (such as Storage_Unit). The
71 -- evaluation of these attributes obtains the required target dependent
72 -- values from Ttypes and Ttypef. The additional attributes that have
73 -- been added to GNAT (Address_Size, Storage_Unit, Word_Size, Max_Priority,
74 -- and Max_Interrupt_Priority) are for almost all purposes redundant with
75 -- respect to the corresponding references to System constants. For example
76 -- in a program, System.Address_Size and Standard'Address_Size yield the
77 -- same value. The critical use of the attribute is in writing the System
78 -- declaration of Address_Size which of course cannot refer to itself. By
79 -- this means we achieve complete target independence in the source code
80 -- of package System, i.e. there is only one copy of the source of System
83 -- Note that during compilation there are two versions of package System
84 -- around. The version that is directly with'ed by compiler packages
85 -- contains host-dependent definitions, which is what is needed in that
86 -- case (for example, System.Storage_Unit referenced in the source of the
87 -- compiler refers to the storage unit of the host, not the target). This
88 -- means that, like attribute references, any references to constants in
89 -- package System in the compiler code are suspicious, since it is strange
90 -- for the compiler to have such host dependencies. If the compiler needs
91 -- to access the target dependent values of such quantities as Storage_Unit
92 -- then it should reference the constants in this package (Ttypes), rather
93 -- than referencing System.Storage_Unit, or Standard'Storage_Unit, both of
94 -- which would yield the host value.
