25
26--  This package obtains parameters from the target runtime version of System,
27--  to indicate parameters relevant to the target environment.
28
29--  Conceptually, these parameters could be obtained using rtsfind, but
30--  we do not do this for four reasons:
31
32--    1. Compiling System for every compilation wastes time
33
34--    2. This compilation impedes debugging by adding extra compile steps
35
36--    3. There are recursion problems coming from compiling System itself
37--        or any of its children.
38
39--    4. The binder also needs the parameters, and we do not want to have
40--        to drag a lot of front end stuff into the binder.
41
42--  For all these reasons, we read in the source of System, and then scan
43--  it at the text level to extract the parameter values.
44
45--  Note however, that later on, when the ali file is written, we make sure
46--  that the System file is at least parsed, so that the checksum is properly
47--  computed and set in the ali file. This partially negates points 1 and 2
48--  above although just parsing is quick and does not impact debugging much.
49
50--  The parameters acquired by this routine from system.ads fall into four
51--  categories:
52
53--     1. Configuration pragmas, that must appear at the start of the file.
54--        Any such pragmas automatically apply to any unit compiled in the
55--        presence of this system file. Only a limited set of such pragmas
56--        may appear as documented in the corresponding section below,
57
58--     2. Target parameters. These are boolean constants that are defined
59--        in the private part of the package giving fixed information
60--        about the target architecture, and the capabilities of the
61--        code generator and run-time library.
62
63--     3. Identification information. This is an optional string constant
64--        that gives the name of the run-time library configuration. This
65--        line may be omitted for a version of system.ads to be used with
66--        the full Ada 95 run time.
67
68--     4. Other characteristics of package System. At the current time the
69--        only item in this category is whether type Address is private.

171
172   --  The following parameters correspond to the variables defined in the

174   --  that it is required that all parameters defined here be specified
175   --  in the target specific version of system.ads. Thus, to add a new
176   --  parameter, add it to all system*.ads files. (There is a defaulting

183   --  a particular target (e.g. OpenVMS, AAMP). The default values are
184   --  suitable for use in normal environments. This approach allows the
185   --  possibility of new versions of the compiler (possibly with new system
186   --  parameters added) being used to compile older versions of the compiler
187   --  sources, as well as avoiding duplicating values in all system-*.ads
188   --  files for flags that are used on a few platforms only.

242   -----------------------------------
243   -- Control of Exception Handling --
244   -----------------------------------
245
246   --  GNAT implements three methods of implementing exceptions:
247
248   --    Front-End Longjmp/Setjmp Exceptions
249
250   --      This approach uses longjmp/setjmp to handle exceptions. It
251   --      uses less storage, and can often propagate exceptions faster,
252   --      at the expense of (sometimes considerable) overhead in setting
253   --      up an exception handler. This approach is available on all
254   --      targets, and is the default where it is the only approach.
255
256   --      The generation of the setjmp and longjmp calls is handled by
257   --      the front end of the compiler (this includes gigi in the case
258   --      of the standard GCC back end). It does not use any back end
259   --      support (such as the GCC3 exception handling mechanism). When
260   --      this approach is used, the compiler generates special exception
261   --      handlers for handling cleanups when an exception is raised.
262
263   --    Front-End Zero Cost Exceptions
264
265   --      This approach uses separate exception tables. These use extra
266   --      storage, and exception propagation can be quite slow, but there
267   --      is no overhead in setting up an exception handler (it is to this
268   --      latter operation that the phrase zero-cost refers). This approach
269   --      is only available on some targets, and is the default where it is
270   --      available.
271
272   --      The generation of the exception tables is handled by the front
273   --      end of the compiler. It does not use any back end support (such
274   --      as the GCC3 exception handling mechanism). When this approach
275   --      is used, the compiler generates special exception handlers for
276   --      handling cleanups when an exception is raised.
277
278   --    Back-End Zero Cost Exceptions
279
280   --      With this approach, the back end handles the generation and
281   --      handling of exceptions. For example, the GCC3 exception handling
282   --      mechanisms are used in this mode. The front end simply generates
283   --      code for explicit exception handlers, and AT END cleanup handlers
284   --      are simply passed unchanged to the backend for generating cleanups
285   --      both in the exceptional and non-exceptional cases.
286
287   --      As the name implies, this approach generally uses a zero-cost
288   --      mechanism with tables, but the tables are generated by the back
289   --      end. However, since the back-end is entirely responsible for the
290   --      handling of exceptions, another mechanism might be used. In the
291   --      case of GCC3 for instance, it might be the case that the compiler
292   --      is configured for setjmp/longjmp handling, then everything will
293   --      work correctly. However, it is definitely preferred that the
294   --      back end provide zero cost exception handling.
295
296   --    Controlling the selection of methods
297
298   --      On most implementations, back-end zero-cost exceptions are used.
299   --      Otherwise, Front-End Longjmp/Setjmp approach is used.
300   --      Note that there is a requirement that all Ada units in a partition
301   --      be compiled with the same exception model.
302
303   --    Control of Available Methods and Defaults
304
305   --      The following switches specify whether ZCX is available, and
306   --      whether it is enabled by default.
307
308   ZCX_By_Default_On_Target : Boolean := False;
309   --  Indicates if zero cost exceptions are active by default. If this
310   --  variable is False, then the only possible exception method is the
311   --  front-end setjmp/longjmp approach, and this is the default. If

457   -------------------------------
458   -- Control of Stack Checking --
459   -------------------------------
460
461   --  GNAT provides three methods of implementing exceptions:
462
463   --    GCC Probing Mechanism
464
465   --      This approach uses the standard GCC mechanism for
466   --      stack checking. The method assumes that accessing
467   --      storage immediately beyond the end of the stack
468   --      will result in a trap that is converted to a storage
469   --      error by the runtime system. This mechanism has
470   --      minimal overhead, but requires complex hardware,
471   --      operating system and run-time support. Probing is
472   --      the default method where it is available. The stack
473   --      size for the environment task depends on the operating
474   --      system and cannot be set in a system-independent way.
475
476   --   GCC Stack-limit Mechanism
477
478   --      This approach uses the GCC stack limits mechanism.
479   --      It relies on comparing the stack pointer with the
480   --      values of a global symbol. If the check fails, a
481   --      trap is explicitly generated. The advantage is
482   --      that the mechanism requires no memory protection,
483   --      but operating system and run-time support are
484   --      needed to manage the per-task values of the symbol.
485   --      This is the default method after probing where it
486   --      is available.
487
488   --   GNAT Stack-limit Checking
489
490   --      This method relies on comparing the stack pointer
491   --      with per-task stack limits. If the check fails, an
492   --      exception is explicitly raised. The advantage is
493   --      that the method requires no extra system dependent
494   --      runtime support and can be used on systems without
495   --      memory protection as well, but at the cost of more
496   --      overhead for doing the check. This is the fallback
497   --      method if the above two are not supported.
498
499   Stack_Check_Probes_On_Target : Boolean := False;
500   --  Indicates if the GCC probing mechanism is used
501
502   Stack_Check_Limits_On_Target : Boolean := False;
503   --  Indicates if the GCC stack-limit mechanism is used
504
505   --  Both flags cannot be simultaneously set to True. If neither
506   --  is, the target independent fallback method is used.
507
508   Stack_Check_Default_On_Target : Boolean := False;
509   --  Indicates if stack checking is on by default
510
511   ----------------------------
512   -- Command Line Arguments --
513   ----------------------------
514
515   --  For most ports of GNAT, command line arguments are supported. The
516   --  following flag is set to False for targets that do not support
517   --  command line arguments (VxWorks and AAMP). Note that support of
518   --  command line arguments is not required on such targets (RM A.15(13)).

523   --  this causes suppression of generation of the argv/argc variables
524   --  used to record command line arguments.
525
526   --  Similarly, most ports support the use of an exit status, but AAMP
527   --  is an exception (as allowed by RM A.15(18-20))
528
529   Exit_Status_Supported_On_Target : Boolean := True;
530   --  Set False if returning of an exit status is not supported on target.
531   --  Note that if this False in with Configurable_Run_Time_On_Target

533   --  variable used to record the exit status.

536   -- Main Program Name --
537   -----------------------
538
539   --  When the binder generates the main program to be used to create the
540   --  executable, the main program name is main by default (to match the
541   --  usual Unix practice). If this parameter is set to True, then the
542   --  name is instead by default taken from the actual Ada main program
543   --  name (just the name of the child if the main program is a child unit).

561
562   --  The attributes cannot dependent on the current setting of compiler
563   --  switches, since the values must be static and consistent throughout
564   --  the partition. We probably should add such consistency checks in future,
565   --  but for now we don't do this.
566
567   --  Note: the compiler itself does not use floating-point, so the
568   --  settings of the defaults here are not really relevant.
569
570   --  Note: in some cases, proper support of some of these floating point
571   --  features may require a specific switch (e.g. -mieee on the Alpha)
572   --  to be used to obtain full RM compliant support.
