- -- This package contains a set of subprogram access variables that access
- -- some basic tasking primitives that are called from non-tasking code (e.g.
- -- the defer/undefer abort that surrounds a finalization action). To avoid
- -- dragging in the tasking all the time, we use a system of soft links where
- -- the links are initialized to dummy non-tasking versions, and then if the
- -- tasking is initialized, they are reset to the real tasking versions.
-
- package System.Tasking_Soft_Links is
-
- -- First we have the access subprogram types used to establish the links.
- -- The approach is to establish variables containing access subprogram
- -- values which by default point to dummy no tasking versions of routines.
-
- -- Note: the reason that Get_Address_Call has a dummy parameter is that
- -- there is a bug in GNAT with access to subprograms with no params ???
-
- type No_Param_Proc is access procedure;
- type Get_Address_Call is access function (Dummy : Boolean) return Address;
-
- type Proc_SS1 is access procedure (X : Address);
- type Proc_SS2 is access procedure (X : out Address; Y : Integer);
-
- -- Declarations for the no tasking versions of the required routines
-
- procedure Abort_Defer_NT;
- -- Defer task abortion (non-tasking case, does nothing)
-
- procedure Abort_Undefer_NT;
- -- Undefer task abortion (non-tasking case, does nothing)
-
- procedure Task_Lock_NT;
- -- Lock out other tasks (non-tasking case, does nothing)
-
- procedure Task_Unlock_NT;
- -- Release lock set by Task_Lock (non-tasking case, does nothing)
-
- procedure SS_Init_NT (Stk : out Address; Size : Natural);
- -- Initialization of the secondary stack (if no sec-stack does nothing)
- pragma Suppress (Elaboration_Check, SS_Init_NT);
- -- ??? Needed due to elaboration order problem.
-
- procedure SS_Free_NT (Stk : Address);
- -- Release the secondary stack (if no sec-stack does nothing)
-
- function Get_TSD_Address_NT (Dummy : Boolean) return Address;

- -- is allocated and initialized by the System.Task_Specific_Data package)

-
- Lock_Task : No_Param_Proc := Task_Lock_NT'Access;
- -- Locks out other tasks. Preceding a section of code by Task_Lock and
- -- following it by Task_Unlock creates a critical region. This is used
- -- for ensuring that a region of non-tasking code (such as code used to
- -- allocate memory) is tasking safe. Note that it is valid for calls to
- -- Task_Lock/Task_Unlock to be nested, and this must work properly, i.e.
- -- only the corresponding outer level Task_Unlock will actually unlock.
-
- Unlock_Task : No_Param_Proc := Task_Unlock_NT'Access;
- -- Releases lock previously set by call to Lock_Task. In the nested case,
- -- all nested locks must be released before other tasks competing for the
- -- tasking lock are released.
