   -- 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 formats 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.

   --  In order to set or retrieve information from the Dispatch Table or
   --  the Type Specific Data record, GNAT generates calls to Set_XXX or
   --  Get_XXX routines, where XXX is the name of the field of interest.

   --  Information associated with the secondary dispatch table of tagged-type
   --  objects implementing abstract interfaces.

   type Select_Specific_Data (Nb_Prim : Positive);
   type Select_Specific_Data_Ptr is access all Select_Specific_Data;
   --  A table used to store the primitive operation kind and entry index of
   --  primitive subprograms of a type that implements a limited interface.
   --  The Select Specific Data table resides in the Type Specific Data of a
   --  type. This construct is used in the handling of dispatching triggers
   --  in select statements.

   type Type_Specific_Data;
   type Type_Specific_Data_Ptr is access all Type_Specific_Data;

   Default_Prim_Op_Count : constant Positive := 15;
   --  Number of predefined primitive operations added by the Expander for a

       Abstract_Interface);

   --  signatures are generated by the frontend and are used by the Check_XXX
   --  routines to ensure that the kind of dispatch table managed by each of
   --  the routines in this package is correct. This additional check is only
   --  performed with this run-time package is compiled with assertions enabled

   --  The signature is a sequence of two bytes. The first byte must have the
   --  value Valid_Signature, and the second byte must have a value in the

   --  the Check_XXX routines to indicate that the signature is wrong.
