34 -- This package provides necessary definitions to handle simple (i.e without
35 -- entries) protected objects.
37 -- All the routines that handle protected objects with entries have been moved
38 -- to two children: Entries and Operations. Note that Entries only contains
39 -- the type declaration and the OO primitives. This is needed to avoid
40 -- circular dependency.
42 -- This package is part of the high level tasking interface used by the
43 -- compiler to expand Ada 95 tasking constructs into simpler run time calls
44 -- (aka GNARLI, GNU Ada Run-time Library Interface)
46 -- Note: the compiler generates direct calls to this interface, via Rtsfind.
47 -- Any changes to this interface may require corresponding compiler changes
48 -- in exp_ch9.adb and possibly exp_ch7.adb
