--  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.

--  This unit may be used directly from an application program by providing
--  an appropriate WITH, and the interface can be expected to remain stable.

--  This is the SGI (libathread) specific version of this module.

   -- Binding of Tasks to sprocs and sprocs to processors --
   ---------------------------------------------------------

   --  The SGI implementation of the GNU Low-Level Interface (GNULLI)
   --  implements each Ada task as a Posix thread (Pthread). The SGI
   --  Pthread library distributes threads across one or more processes
   --  that are members of a common share group. Irix distributes
   --  processes across the available CPUs on a given machine. The
   --  pragma Task_Info provides the mechanism to control the distribution
   --  of tasks to sprocs, and sprocs to processors.

   --  Each thread has a number of attributes that dictate it's scheduling.
   --  These attributes are:

   --      Bound_To_Sproc:  whether the thread is bound to a specific sproc
   --                       for its entire lifetime.

   --      Timeslice:       Amount of time that a thread is allowed to execute
   --                       before the system yeilds control to another thread
   --                       of equal priority.

   --      Resource_Vector: A bitmask used to control the binding of threads
   --                       to sprocs.
   --

   --  Each share group process (sproc)

   --  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 Task_Info_Unspecified 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).
