32--  This package provides an interface used in HI-E mode to determine
33--  whether or not the back end can handle certain constructs in a manner
34--  that is consistent with certification requirements.
35
36--  The approach is to define entities which may or may not be present in
37--  a HI-E configured library. If the entity is present then the compiler
38--  operating in HI-E mode will allow the corresponding operation. If the
39--  entity is not present, the corresponding construct will be flagged as
40--  not permitted in High Integrity mode.
41
42--  The default version of this unit delivered with the HI-E compiler is
43--  configured in a manner appropriate for the target, but it is possible
44--  to reconfigure the run-time to change the settings as required.
45
46--  This unit is not used and never accessed by the compiler unless it is
47--  operating in HI-E mode, so the settings are irrelevant. However, we
48--  do include a standard version with all entities present in the standard
49--  run-time for use when pragma No_Run_Time is specified.

55   --  This is the type used for the entities below. No properties of this

59   HIE_64_Bit_Divides : Dummy;
60   --  This entity controls whether the front end allows 64-bit integer
61   --  divide operations, including the case where division of 32-bit
62   --  fixed-point operands requires 64-bit arithmetic. This can safely
63   --  be set as High_Integrity on 64-bit machines which provide this
64   --  operation as a native instruction, but on most 32-bit machines
65   --  a run time call (e.g. to __divdi3 in gcclib) is required. If a
66   --  certifiable version of this routine is available, then setting
67   --  this entity to High_Integrity with a pragma will cause appropriate
68   --  calls to be generated, allowing 64-bit integer division operations.

70   HIE_Long_Shifts : Dummy;
71   --  This entity controls whether the front end allows generation of
72   --  long shift instructions, i.e. shifts that operate on 64-bit values.
73   --  Such shifts are required for the implementation of fixed-point
74   --  types longer than 32 bits. This can safely be set as High_Integrity
75   --  on 64-bit machines that provide this operation at the hardware level,
76   --  but on some 32-bit machines a run time call is required. If there
77   --  is a certifiable version available of the relevant run-time routines,
78   --  then setting this entity to High_Integrity with a pragma will cause
79   --  appropriate calls to be generated, allowing the declaration and use
80   --  of fixed-point types longer than 32 bits.

82   HIE_Aggregates : Dummy;
83   --  In the general case, the use of aggregates may generate calls
84   --  to run-time routines in the C library, including memset, memcpy,
85   --  memmove, and bcopy. This entity can be set to High_Integrity with
86   --  a pragma if certifiable versions of all these routines are available,
87   --  in which case aggregates are permitted in HI-E mode. Otherwise the
88   --  HI-E compiler will reject any use of aggregates.
89
90   HIE_Composite_Assignments : Dummy;
91   --  The assignment of composite objects other than small records and
92   --  arrays whose size is 64-bits or less and is set by an explicit
93   --  size clause may generate calls to memcpy, memmove, and bcopy.
94   --  If certifiable versions of all these routines are available, then
95   --  this entity may be set to High_Integrity using a pragma, in which
96   --  case such assignments are permitted. Otherwise the HI-E compiler
97   --  will reject any such composite assignments.
