package System.Machine_State_Operations is
subtype Code_Loc is System.Address;
-- Code location used in building exception tables and for call addresses
-- when propagating an exception (also traceback table) Values of this
-- type are created by using Label'Address or extracted from machine
-- states using Get_Code_Loc.
type Machine_State is new System.Address;
-- The table based exception handling approach (see a-except.adb) isolates
-- the target dependent aspects using an abstract data type interface
-- to the type Machine_State, which is represented as a System.Address
-- value (presumably implemented as a pointer to an appropriate record
-- structure).
function Machine_State_Length return System.Storage_Elements.Storage_Offset;
-- Function to determine the length of the Storage_Array needed to hold
-- a machine state. The machine state will always be maximally aligned.
-- The value returned is a constant that will be used to allocate space
-- for a machine state value.
function Allocate_Machine_State return Machine_State;
-- Allocate the required space for a Machine_State
procedure Free_Machine_State (M : in out Machine_State);
-- Free the dynamic memory taken by Machine_State
-- The initial value of type Machine_State is created by the low level
-- routine that actually raises an exception using the special builtin
-- _builtin_machine_state. This value will typically encode the value of
-- the program counter, and relevant registers. The following operations
-- are defined on Machine_State values:
function Get_Code_Loc (M : Machine_State) return Code_Loc;
-- This function extracts the program counter value from a machine state,
-- which the caller uses for searching the exception tables, and also for
-- recording entries in the traceback table. The call returns a value of
-- Null_Loc if the machine state represents the outer level, or some other
-- frame for which no information can be provided.
procedure Pop_Frame (M : Machine_State);
-- This procedure pops the machine state M so that it represents the
-- call point, as though the current subprogram had returned. It changes
-- only the value referenced by M, and does not affect the current stack
-- environment.
function Fetch_Code (Loc : Code_Loc) return Code_Loc;
-- Some architectures (notably HPUX) use a descriptor to describe a
-- subprogram address. This function computes the actual starting
-- address of the code from Loc.
--
-- Do not add pragma Inline to this function: there is a curious
-- interaction between rtsfind and front-end inlining. The exception
-- declaration in s-auxdec calls rtsfind, which forces several other system
-- packages to be compiled. Some of those have a pragma Inline, and we
-- compile the corresponding bodies so that inlining can take place. One
-- of these packages is s-mastop, which depends on s-auxdec, which is still
-- being compiled: we have not seen all the declarations in it yet, so we
-- get confused semantic errors ???
procedure Set_Machine_State (M : Machine_State);
-- This routine sets M from the current machine state. It is called when an
-- exception is initially signalled to initialize the state.
