------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- This package provides RTS Internal Declarations.
-- These declarations are not part of the GNARLI
with Ada.Unchecked_Conversion;
with System.Task_Primitives;
package System.Tasking.Utilities is
function ATCB_To_Address is new
Ada.Unchecked_Conversion (Task_Id, System.Task_Primitives.Task_Address);
---------------------------------
-- Task_Stage Related routines --
---------------------------------
function Make_Independent return Boolean;
-- Move the current task to the outermost level (level 2) of the master
-- hierarchy of the environment task. That is one level further out
-- than normal tasks defined in library-level packages (level 3). The
-- environment task will wait for level 3 tasks to terminate normally,
-- then it will abort all the level 2 tasks. See Finalize_Global_Tasks
-- procedure for more information.
--
-- This is a dangerous operation, and should never be used on nested tasks
-- or tasks that depend on any objects that might be finalized earlier than
-- the termination of the environment task. It is for internal use by the
-- GNARL, to prevent such internal server tasks from preventing a partition
-- from terminating.
--
-- Also note that the run time assumes that the parent of an independent
-- task is the environment task. If this is not the case, Make_Independent
-- will change the task's parent. This assumption is particularly
-- important for master level completion and for the computation of
-- Independent_Task_Count.
--
-- NOTE WELL: Make_Independent should be called before the task reaches its
-- "begin", like this:
--
-- task body Some_Independent_Task is
-- ...
-- Ignore : constant Boolean := Make_Independent;
-- ...
-- begin
--
-- The return value is meaningless; the only reason this is a function is
-- to get around the Ada limitation that makes a procedure call
-- syntactically illegal before the "begin".
--
-- Calling it before "begin" ensures that the call completes before the
-- activating task can proceed. This is important for preventing race
-- conditions. For example, if the environment task reaches
-- Finalize_Global_Tasks before some task has finished Make_Independent,
-- the program can hang.
--
-- Note also that if a package declares independent tasks, it should not
-- initialize its package-body data after "begin" of the package, because
-- that's where the tasks are activated. Initializing such data before the
-- task activation helps prevent the tasks from accessing uninitialized
-- data.
Independent_Task_Count : Natural := 0;
-- Number of independent tasks. This counter is incremented each time
-- Make_Independent is called. Note that if a server task terminates,
-- this counter will not be decremented. Since Make_Independent locks
-- the environment task (because every independent task depends on it),
-- this counter is protected by the environment task's lock.
---------------------------------
-- Task Abort Related Routines --
---------------------------------
procedure Cancel_Queued_Entry_Calls (T : Task_Id);
-- Cancel any entry calls queued on target task.
-- Call this while holding T's lock (or RTS_Lock in Single_Lock mode).
procedure Exit_One_ATC_Level (Self_ID : Task_Id);
pragma Inline (Exit_One_ATC_Level);
-- Call only with abort deferred and holding lock of Self_ID.
-- This is a bit of common code for all entry calls.
-- The effect is to exit one level of ATC nesting.
procedure Abort_One_Task (Self_ID : Task_Id; T : Task_Id);
-- Similar to Locked_Abort_To_Level (Self_ID, T, 0), but:
-- (1) caller should be holding no locks
-- (2) may be called for tasks that have not yet been activated
-- (3) always aborts whole task
procedure Abort_Tasks (Tasks : Task_List);
-- Abort_Tasks is called to initiate abort, however, the actual
-- aborting is done by aborted task by means of Abort_Handler
procedure Make_Passive (Self_ID : Task_Id; Task_Completed : Boolean);
-- Update counts to indicate current task is either terminated or
-- accepting on a terminate alternative. Call holding no locks except
-- Global_Task_Lock when calling from Terminate_Task, and RTS_Lock when
-- Single_Lock is True.
