   -- Predefined primitive operations --
   -------------------------------------

   --  The predefined primitive operations (PPOs) are subprograms generated
   --  by GNAT for a particular tagged type. Their role is to provide support
   --  for different Ada language features such as the attribute 'Size or
   --  handling of dispatching triggers in select statements. PPOs are created
   --  when a tagged type is expanded or frozen. These subprograms are later
   --  collected and inserted into the dispatch table of a tagged type at
   --  fixed positions. Some of the PPOs that manipulate data in tagged objects
   --  require the generation of thunks.

   --  List of predefined primitive operations

   --    Leading underscores designate reserved names. Bracketed numerical
   --    values represent dispatch table slot numbers.

   --      _Size (1) - implementation of the attribute 'Size for any tagged
   --      type. Constructs of the form Prefix'Size are converted into
   --      Prefix._Size.

   --      _Alignment (2) - implementation of the attribute 'Alignment for
   --      any tagged type. Constructs of the form Prefix'Alignment are
   --      converted into Prefix._Alignment.

   --      TSS_Stream_Read (3) - implementation of the stream attribute Read
   --      for any tagged type.

   --      TSS_Stream_Write (4) - implementation of the stream attribute Write
   --      for any tagged type.

   --      TSS_Stream_Input (5) - implementation of the stream attribute Input
   --      for any tagged type.

   --      TSS_Stream_Output (6) - implementation of the stream attribute
   --      Output for any tagged type.

   --      Op_Eq (7) - implementation of the equality operator for any non-
   --      limited tagged type.

   --      _Assign (8) - implementation of the assignment operator for any
   --      non-limited tagged type.

   --      TSS_Deep_Adjust (9) - implementation of the finalization operation
   --      Adjust for any non-limited tagged type.

   --      TSS_Deep_Finalize (10) - implementation of the finalization
   --      operation Finalize for any non-limited tagged type.

   --      _Disp_Asynchronous_Select (11) - used in the expansion of ATC with
   --      dispatching triggers. Null implementation for limited interfaces,
   --      full body generation for types that implement limited interfaces,
   --      not generated for the rest of the cases. See Expand_N_Asynchronous_
   --      Select in Exp_Ch9 for more information.

   --      _Disp_Conditional_Select (12) - used in the expansion of conditional
   --      selects with dispatching triggers. Null implementation for limited
   --      interfaces, full body generation for types that implement limited
   --      interfaces, not generated for the rest of the cases. See Expand_N_
   --      Conditional_Entry_Call in Exp_Ch9 for more information.

   --      _Disp_Get_Prim_Op_Kind (13) - helper routine used in the expansion
   --      of ATC with dispatching triggers. Null implementation for limited
   --      interfaces, full body generation for types that implement limited
   --      interfaces, not generated for the rest of the cases.

   --      _Disp_Get_Task_Id (14) - helper routine used in the expansion of
   --      Abort, attributes 'Callable and 'Terminated for task interface
   --      class-wide types. Full body generation for task types, null
   --      implementation for limited interfaces, not generated for the rest
   --      of the cases. See Expand_N_Attribute_Reference in Exp_Attr and
   --      Expand_N_Abort_Statement in Exp_Ch9 for more information.

   --      _Disp_Requeue (15) - used in the expansion of dispatching requeue
   --      statements. Null implementation is provided for protected, task
   --      and synchronized interfaces. Protected and task types implementing
   --      concurrent interfaces receive full bodies. See Expand_N_Requeue_
   --      Statement in Exp_Ch9 for more information.

   --      _Disp_Timed_Select (16) - used in the expansion of timed selects
   --      with dispatching triggers. Null implementation for limited
   --      interfaces, full body generation for types that implement limited
   --      interfaces, not generated for the rest of the cases. See Expand_N_
   --      Timed_Entry_Call for more information.

   --  Life cycle of predefined primitive operations

   --      The specifications and bodies of the PPOs are created by
   --      Make_Predefined_Primitive_Specs and Predefined_Primitive_Bodies
   --      in Exp_Ch3. The generated specifications are immediately analyzed,
   --      while the bodies are left as freeze actions to the tagged type for
   --      which they are created.

   --      PPOs are collected and added to the Primitive_Operations list of
   --      a type by the regular analysis mechanism.

   --      PPOs are frozen by Exp_Ch3.Predefined_Primitive_Freeze

   --      Thunks for PPOs are created by Make_DT

   --      Dispatch table positions of PPOs are set by Set_All_DT_Position

   --      Calls to PPOs proceed as regular dispatching calls. If the PPO
   --      has a thunk, a call proceeds as a regular dispatching call with
   --      a thunk.

   --  Guidelines for addition of new predefined primitive operations

   --      Update the value of constant Max_Predef_Prims in a-tags.ads to
   --      indicate the new number of PPOs.

   --      Introduce a new predefined name for the new PPO in Snames.ads and
   --      Snames.adb.

   --      Categorize the new PPO name as predefined by adding an entry in
   --      Is_Predefined_Dispatching_Operation in Exp_Disp.

   --      Generate the specification of the new PPO in Make_Predefined_
   --      Primitive_Spec in Exp_Ch3.adb. The Is_Internal flag of the defining
   --      identifier of the specification must be set to True.

   --      Generate the body of the new PPO in Predefined_Primitive_Bodies in
   --      Exp_Ch3.adb. The Is_Internal flag of the defining identifier of the
   --      specification must be set to True.

   --      If the new PPO requires a thunk, add an entry in Freeze_Subprogram
   --      in Exp_Ch6.adb.

   --      When generating calls to a PPO, use Find_Prim_Op from Exp_Util.ads
   --      to retrieve the entity of the operation directly.

   --  Number of predefined primitive operations added by the Expander
   --  for a tagged type. If more predefined primitive operations are
   --  added, the following items must be changed:

   --    Ada.Tags.Max_Predef_Prims         - indirect use
   --    Exp_Disp.Default_Prim_Op_Position - indirect use
   --    Exp_Disp.Set_All_DT_Position      - direct   use
