--  This package provides a system-independent implementation of stack
--  checking using comparison with stack base and limit.

--  This package defines basic types and objects. Operations related to
--  stack checking can be found in package System.Stack_Checking.Operations.

   --  This unit has a junk null body. The reason is that historically we
   --  used to have a real body, and it causes bootstrapping path problems
   --  to eliminate it, since the old body may still be present in the
   --  compilation environment for a build.

   type Stack_Info is record
      Limit : System.Address := System.Null_Address;

   --  task control block in the tasking case.
   --  This specific layout has the advantage of being compatible with the
   --  Intel x86 BOUNDS instruction.

   type Stack_Access is access all Stack_Info;
   --  Unique local storage associated with a specific task. This storage is
   --  used for the stack base and limit, and is returned by Checked_Self.
   --  Only self may write this information, it may be read by any task.
   --  At no time the address range Limit .. Base (or Base .. Limit for
   --  upgrowing stack) may contain any address that is part of another stack.
   --  The Stack_Access may be part of a larger data structure.
