-- Abstract procedural interface for the GNAT dispatch table --
----------------------------------------------------------------
-- GNAT's Dispatch Table format is customizable in order to match the
-- format used in another language. GNAT supports programs that use
-- two different dispatch table format at the same time: the native
-- format that supports Ada 95 tagged types and which is described in
-- Ada.Tags and a foreign format for types that are imported from some
-- other language (typically C++) which is described in interfaces.cpp.
-- The runtime information kept for each tagged type is separated into
-- two objects: the Dispatch Table and the Type Specific Data record.
-- These two objects are allocated statically using the constants:
-- DT Size = DT_Prologue_Size + Nb_Prim * DT_Entry_Size
-- TSD Size = TSD_Prologue_Size + (1 + Idepth) * TSD_Entry_Size
-- where Nb_prim is the number of primitive operations of the given
-- type and Idepth its inheritance depth.
-- The compiler generates calls to the following SET routines to
-- initialize those structures and uses the GET functions to
-- retreive the information when needed
