----------
-- Self --
----------
-- For Solaris version of RTS, we use a short cut to get the self
-- information faster:
-- We have noticed that on Sparc Solaris, the register g7 always
-- contains the address near the frame pointer (fp) of the active
-- thread (fixed offset). This means, if we declare a variable near
-- the top of the stack for each threads (in our case in the task wrapper)
-- and let the variable hold the Task_ID information, we can get the
-- value without going through the thr_getspecific kernel call.
--
-- There are two things to take care in this trick.
--
-- 1) We need to calculate the offset between the g7 value and the
-- local variable address.
-- Possible Solutions :
-- a) Use gdb to figure out the offset.
-- b) Figure it out during the elaboration of RTS by, say,
-- creating a dummy task.
-- We used solution a) mainly because it is more efficient and keeps
-- the RTS from being cluttered with stuff that we won't be used
-- for all environments (i.e., we would have to at least introduce
-- new interfaces).
--
-- On Sparc Solaris the offset was #10#108# (= #16#6b#) with gcc 2.7.2.
-- With gcc 2.8.0, the offset is #10#116# (= #16#74#).
--
-- 2) We can not use the same offset business for the main thread
-- because we do not use a wrapper for the main thread.
-- Previousely, we used the difference between g7 and fp to determine
-- wether a task was the main task or not. But this was obviousely
-- wrong since it worked only for tasks that use small amount of
-- stack.
-- So, we now take advantage of the code that recognizes foreign
-- threads (see below) for the main task.
--
-- NOTE: What we are doing here is ABSOLUTELY for Solaris 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6
-- on Sun.
-- We need to make sure this is OK when we move to other versions
-- of the same OS.
-- We always can go back to the old way of doing this and we include
-- the code which use thr_getspecifics. Also, look for %%%%%
-- in comments for other necessary modifications.
-- This code happens to work with Solaris 2.5.1 too, but with gcc
-- 2.8.0, this offset is different.
-- ??? Try to rethink the approach here to get a more flexible
-- solution at run time ?
-- One other solution (close to 1-b) would be to add some scanning
-- routine in Enter_Task to compute the offset since now we have
-- a magic number at the beginning of the task code.
-- function Self return Task_ID is
-- Temp : aliased System.Address;
-- Result : Interfaces.C.int;
--
-- begin
-- Result := thr_getspecific (ATCB_Key, Temp'Unchecked_Access);
-- pragma Assert (Result = 0);
-- return To_Task_ID (Temp);
-- end Self;
-- To make Ada tasks and C threads interoperate better, we have
-- added some functionality to Self. Suppose a C main program
-- (with threads) calls an Ada procedure and the Ada procedure
-- calls the tasking run-time system. Eventually, a call will be
-- made to self. Since the call is not coming from an Ada task,
-- there will be no corresponding ATCB.
-- (The entire Ada run-time system may not have been elaborated,
-- either, but that is a different problem, that we will need to
-- solve another way.)
-- What we do in Self is to catch references that do not come
-- from recognized Ada tasks, and create an ATCB for the calling
-- thread.
-- The new ATCB will be "detached" from the normal Ada task
-- master hierarchy, much like the existing implicitly created
-- signal-server tasks.
-- We will also use such points to poll for disappearance of the
-- threads associated with any implicit ATCBs that we created
-- earlier, and take the opportunity to recover them.
-- A nasty problem here is the limitations of the compilation
-- order dependency, and in particular the GNARL/GNULLI layering.
-- To initialize an ATCB we need to assume System.Tasking has
-- been elaborated.
