  34    -- Host/Target Dependencies --
  35    ------------------------------
  36
  37    --  It is vital to maintain a clear distinction between properties of
  38    --  types on the host and types on the target, since in the general
  39    --  case of a cross-compiler these will be different.
  40
  41    --  This package and its companion Ttypef provide definitions of values
  42    --  that describe the properties of the target types. All instances of
  43    --  target dependencies, including the definitions of such packages as
  44    --  Standard and System depend directly or indirectly on the definitions
  45    --  in the Ttypes and Ttypef packages.
  46
  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).
  53
  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.
  60
  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
  65    --  and Ttypef.
  66
  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
  81    --  for all targets.
  82
  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.
