30 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
32 -- This package provides overall initialization of the tasking portion of the
33 -- RTS. This package must be elaborated before any tasking features are used.
35 package System.Tasking.Initialization is
37 procedure Remove_From_All_Tasks_List (T : Task_Id);
38 -- Remove T from All_Tasks_List. Call this function with RTS_Lock taken
40 ---------------------------------
41 -- Tasking-Specific Soft Links --
42 ---------------------------------
44 -- These permit us to leave out certain portions of the tasking
45 -- run-time system if they are not used. They are only used internally
46 -- by the tasking run-time system.
48 -- So far, the only example is support for Ada.Task_Attributes
50 type Proc_T is access procedure (T : Task_Id);
52 procedure Finalize_Attributes (T : Task_Id);
53 procedure Initialize_Attributes (T : Task_Id);
55 Finalize_Attributes_Link : Proc_T := Finalize_Attributes'Access;
56 -- should be called with abort deferred and T.L write-locked
58 Initialize_Attributes_Link : Proc_T := Initialize_Attributes'Access;
59 -- should be called with abort deferred, but holding no locks
61 -------------------------
62 -- Abort Defer/Undefer --
63 -------------------------
65 -- Defer_Abort defers the affects of low-level abort and priority change
66 -- in the calling task until a matching Undefer_Abort call is executed.
68 -- Undefer_Abort DOES MORE than just undo the effects of one call to
69 -- Defer_Abort. It is the universal "polling point" for deferred
70 -- processing, including the following:
72 -- 1) base priority changes
74 -- 2) abort/ATC
76 -- Abort deferral MAY be nested (Self_ID.Deferral_Level is a count), but
77 -- to avoid waste and undetected errors, it generally SHOULD NOT be
78 -- nested. The symptom of over-deferring abort is that an exception may
79 -- fail to be raised, or an abort may fail to take place.
81 -- Therefore, there are two sets of the inlineable defer/undefer routines,
82 -- which are the ones to be used inside GNARL. One set allows nesting. The
83 -- other does not. People who maintain the GNARL should try to avoid using
84 -- the nested versions, or at least look very critically at the places
85 -- where they are used.
87 -- In general, any GNARL call that is potentially blocking, or whose
88 -- semantics require that it sometimes raise an exception, or that is
89 -- required to be an abort completion point, must be made with abort
90 -- Deferral_Level = 1.
92 -- In general, non-blocking GNARL calls, which may be made from inside a
93 -- protected action, are likely to need to allow nested abort deferral.
95 -- With some critical exceptions (which are supposed to be documented),
96 -- internal calls to the tasking runtime system assume abort is already
97 -- deferred, and do not modify the deferral level.
99 -- There is also a set of non-inlineable defer/undefer routines, for direct
100 -- call from the compiler. These are not inlineable because they may need
101 -- to be called via pointers ("soft links"). For the sake of efficiency,
102 -- the version with Self_ID as parameter should used wherever possible.
103 -- These are all nestable.

153 -- This version is only for use in Terminate_Task, when the task is
154 -- relinquishing further rights to its own ATCB. There is a very
155 -- interesting potential race condition there, where the old task may run
156 -- concurrently with a new task that is allocated the old tasks (now
157 -- reused) ATCB. The critical thing here is to not make any reference to
158 -- the ATCB after the lock is released. See also comments on
