32 -- This is the OpenVMS Alpha version
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.

138 ---------------------

145 -- Locking Strategy --
146 ----------------------
148 Single_Lock
: constant Boolean := True;
149 -- Indicates whether a single lock should be used within the tasking
150 -- run-time to protect internal structures. If True, a single lock
151 -- will be used, meaning less locking/unlocking operations, but also
152 -- more global contention. In general, Single_Lock should be set to
153 -- True on single processor machines, and to False to multi-processor
154 -- systems, but this can vary from application to application and also
155 -- depends on the scheduling policy.
161 No_Abort
: constant Boolean := False;
162 -- This constant indicates whether abort statements and asynchronous
163 -- transfer of control (ATC) are disallowed. If set to True, it is
164 -- assumed that neither construct is used, and the run time does not
165 -- need to defer/undefer abort and check for pending actions at
166 -- completion points. A value of True for No_Abort corresponds to:
167 -- pragma Restrictions (No_Abort_Statements);
168 -- pragma Restrictions (Max_Asynchronous_Select_Nesting => 0);

200 -- exception message (see RM 11.4.1(18)). The value for VMS exceeds the
