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.
49 package System.Parameters is
50 pragma Pure;

53 -- Task And Stack Allocation Control --
54 ---------------------------------------
56 type Task_Storage_Size is new Integer;
57 -- Type used in tasking units for task storage size
59 type Size_Type is new Task_Storage_Size;
60 -- Type used to provide task storage size to runtime
62 Unspecified_Size : constant Size_Type := Size_Type'First;
63 -- Value used to indicate that no size type is set
65 subtype Ratio is Size_Type range -1 .. 100;
66 Dynamic : constant Size_Type := -1;
67 -- The secondary stack ratio is a constant between 0 and 100 which
68 -- determines the percentage of the allocated task stack that is
69 -- used by the secondary stack (the rest being the primary stack).
70 -- The special value of minus one indicates that the secondary
71 -- stack is to be allocated from the heap instead.
73 Sec_Stack_Ratio : constant Ratio := Dynamic;
74 -- This constant defines the handling of the secondary stack
76 Sec_Stack_Dynamic : constant Boolean := Sec_Stack_Ratio = Dynamic;
77 -- Convenient Boolean for testing for dynamic secondary stack
79 function Default_Stack_Size return Size_Type;
80 -- Default task stack size used if none is specified
82 function Minimum_Stack_Size return Size_Type;
83 -- Minimum task stack size permitted
85 function Adjust_Storage_Size (Size : Size_Type) return Size_Type;
86 -- Given the storage size stored in the TCB, return the Storage_Size
87 -- value required by the RM for the Storage_Size attribute. The
88 -- required adjustment is as follows:
90 -- when Size = Unspecified_Size, return Default_Stack_Size
91 -- when Size < Minimum_Stack_Size, return Minimum_Stack_Size
92 -- otherwise return given Size
94 Default_Env_Stack_Size : constant Size_Type := 8_192_000;
95 -- Assumed size of the environment task, if no other information
96 -- is available. This value is used when stack checking is
97 -- enabled and no GNAT_STACK_LIMIT environment variable is set.
99 Stack_Grows_Down : constant Boolean := True;
100 -- This constant indicates whether the stack grows up (False) or
101 -- down (True) in memory as functions are called. It is used for
102 -- proper implementation of the stack overflow check.
104 ----------------------------------------------
105 -- Characteristics of types in Interfaces.C --
106 ----------------------------------------------
108 long_bits : constant := Long_Integer'Size;
109 -- Number of bits in type long and unsigned_long. The normal convention
110 -- is that this is the same as type Long_Integer, but this is not true
111 -- of all targets. For example, in OpenVMS long /= Long_Integer.
113 ----------------------------------------------
114 -- Behavior of Pragma Finalize_Storage_Only --
115 ----------------------------------------------
117 -- Garbage_Collected is a Boolean constant whose value indicates the
118 -- effect of the pragma Finalize_Storage_Entry on a controlled type.
120 -- Garbage_Collected = False
122 -- The system releases all storage on program termination only,
123 -- but not other garbage collection occurs, so finalization calls
124 -- are omitted only for outer level objects can be omitted if
125 -- pragma Finalize_Storage_Only is used.
127 -- Garbage_Collected = True
129 -- The system provides full garbage collection, so it is never
130 -- necessary to release storage for controlled objects for which
131 -- a pragma Finalize_Storage_Only is used.

136 ---------------------
137 -- Tasking Profile --
138 ---------------------
140 -- In the following sections, constant parameters are defined to
141 -- allow some optimizations and fine tuning within the tasking run time
142 -- based on restrictions on the tasking features.
144 ----------------------
145 -- Locking Strategy --
146 ----------------------
148 Single_Lock : constant Boolean := False;
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.
157 -------------------
158 -- Task Abortion --
159 -------------------
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);
170 ---------------------
171 -- Task Attributes --
172 ---------------------
174 Default_Attribute_Count : constant := 4;
175 -- Number of pre-allocated Address-sized task attributes stored in the
176 -- task control block.
178 --------------------
179 -- Runtime Traces --
180 --------------------
182 Runtime_Traces : constant Boolean := False;
183 -- This constant indicates whether the runtime outputs traces to a
184 -- predefined output or not (True means that traces are output).
185 -- See System.Traces for more details.
187 -----------------------
188 -- Task Image Length --
189 -----------------------
191 Max_Task_Image_Length : constant := 256;
192 -- This constant specifies the maximum length of a task's image
194 ------------------------------
195 -- Exception Message Length --
196 ------------------------------
198 Default_Exception_Msg_Max_Length : constant := 200;
199 -- This constant specifies the default number of characters to allow
200 -- in an exception message (200 is minimum required by RM 11.4.1(18)).
