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