------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- This package contains the definitions and routines associated with the
-- implementation and use of the Task_Info pragma. It is specialized
-- appropriately for targets that make use of this pragma.
-- Note: the compiler generates direct calls to this interface, via Rtsfind.
-- Any changes to this interface may require corresponding compiler changes.
-- The functionality in this unit is now provided by the predefined package
-- System.Multiprocessors and the CPU aspect. This package is obsolescent.
-- This is the Solaris (native) version of this module
with System.OS_Interface;
package System.Task_Info is
pragma Obsolescent (Task_Info, "use System.Multiprocessors and CPU aspect");
pragma Preelaborate;
pragma Elaborate_Body;
-- To ensure that a body is allowed
-----------------------------------------------------
-- Binding of Tasks to LWPs and LWPs to processors --
-----------------------------------------------------
-- The Solaris implementation of the GNU Low-Level Interface (GNULLI)
-- implements each Ada task as a Solaris thread. The Solaris thread
-- library distributes threads across one or more LWPs (Light Weight
-- Process) that are members of the same process. Solaris distributes
-- processes and LWPs across the available CPUs on a given machine. The
-- pragma Task_Info provides the mechanism to control the distribution
-- of tasks to LWPs, and LWPs to processors.
-- Each thread has a number of attributes that dictate it's scheduling.
-- These attributes are:
--
-- New_LWP: whether a new LWP is created for this thread.
--
-- Bound_To_LWP: whether the thread is bound to a specific LWP
-- for its entire lifetime.
--
-- CPU: the CPU number associated to the LWP
--
-- The Task_Info pragma:
-- pragma Task_Info (EXPRESSION);
-- allows the specification on a task by task basis of a value of type
-- System.Task_Info.Task_Info_Type to be passed to a task when it is
-- created. The specification of this type, and the effect on the task
-- that is created is target dependent.
-- The Task_Info pragma appears within a task definition (compare the
-- definition and implementation of pragma Priority). If no such pragma
-- appears, then the value Unspecified_Task_Info is passed. If a pragma
-- is present, then it supplies an alternative value. If the argument of
-- the pragma is a discriminant reference, then the value can be set on
-- a task by task basis by supplying the appropriate discriminant value.
-- Note that this means that the type used for Task_Info_Type must be
-- suitable for use as a discriminant (i.e. a scalar or access type).
