36 -- This package encapsulates and centralizes information about
37 -- all uses of interrupts (or signals), including the
38 -- target-dependent mapping of interrupts (or signals) to exceptions.
40 -- PLEASE DO NOT add any with-clauses to this package.
41 -- This is designed to work for both tasking and non-tasking systems,
42 -- without pulling in any of the tasking support.
44 -- PLEASE DO NOT remove the Elaborate_Body pragma from this package.
45 -- Elaboration of this package should happen early, as most other
46 -- initializations depend on it.
47 -- Forcing immediate elaboration of the body also helps to enforce
48 -- the design assumption that this is a second-level
49 -- package, just one level above System.OS_Interface, with no
50 -- cross-dependences.
52 -- PLEASE DO NOT put any subprogram declarations with arguments of
53 -- type Interrupt_ID into the visible part of this package.
54 -- The type Interrupt_ID is used to derive the type in Ada.Interrupts,
55 -- and adding more operations to that type would be illegal according
56 -- to the Ada Reference Manual. (This is the reason why the signals sets
57 -- below are implemented as visible arrays rather than functions.)

67 type Interrupt_Mask is limited private;
69 type Interrupt_ID is new System.OS_Interface.Signal;
71 type Interrupt_Set is array (Interrupt_ID) of Boolean;
73 -- The following objects serve as constants, but are initialized
74 -- in the body to aid portability. This permits us
75 -- to use more portable names for interrupts,
76 -- where distinct names may map to the same interrupt ID value.
77 -- For example, suppose SIGRARE is a signal that is not defined on
78 -- all systems, but is always reserved when it is defined.
79 -- If we have the convention that ID zero is not used for any "real"
80 -- signals, and SIGRARE = 0 when SIGRARE is not one of the locally
81 -- supported signals, we can write
82 -- Reserved (SIGRARE) := true;
83 -- and the initialization code will be portable.

86 -- The interrupt that is used to implement task abortion,
87 -- if an interrupt is used for that purpose.
88 -- This is one of the reserved interrupts.
90 Keep_Unmasked : Interrupt_Set := (others => False);
91 -- Keep_Unmasked (I) is true iff the interrupt I is
92 -- one that must be kept unmasked at all times,
93 -- except (perhaps) for short critical sections.
94 -- This includes interrupts that are mapped to exceptions
95 -- (see System.Interrupt_Exceptions.Is_Exception), but may also
96 -- include interrupts (e.g. timer) that need to be kept unmasked
97 -- for other reasons.
98 -- Where interrupts are implemented as OS signals, and signal masking
99 -- is per-task, the interrupt should be unmasked in ALL TASKS.
101 Reserve : Interrupt_Set := (others => False);
102 -- Reserve (I) is true iff the interrupt I is one that
103 -- cannot be permitted to be attached to a user handler.
104 -- The possible reasons are many. For example,
105 -- it may be mapped to an exception, used to implement task abortion,
106 -- or used to implement time delays.
108 Keep_Masked : Interrupt_Set := (others => False);
109 -- Keep_Masked (I) is true iff the interrupt I must always be masked.
110 -- Where interrupts are implemented as OS signals, and signal masking
111 -- is per-task, the interrupt should be masked in ALL TASKS.
112 -- There might not be any interrupts in this class, depending on
113 -- the environment. For example, if interrupts are OS signals
114 -- and signal masking is per-task, use of the sigwait operation
115 -- requires the signal be masked in all tasks.
117 procedure Initialize_Interrupts;
118 -- On systems where there is no signal inheritance between tasks (e.g
119 -- VxWorks, GNU/LinuxThreads), this procedure is used to initialize
120 -- interrupts handling in each task. Otherwise this function should
121 -- only be called by initialize in this package body.
