--  This is a simplified version of the System.Tasking.Stages package,
--  intended to be used in a restricted run time.

--  This package represents the high level tasking interface used by the
--  compiler to expand Ada 95 tasking constructs into simpler run time calls
--  (aka GNARLI, GNU Ada Run-time Library Interface)

--  Note: the compiler generates direct calls to this interface, via Rtsfind.
--  Any changes to this interface may require corresponding compiler changes
--  in exp_ch9.adb and possibly exp_ch7.adb

--  The restricted GNARLI is also composed of System.Protected_Objects and
--  System.Protected_Objects.Single_Entry

with System.Task_Info;
--  used for Task_Info_Type

with System.Parameters;
--  used for Size_Type

package System.Tasking.Restricted.Stages is
   pragma Elaborate_Body;

   --  Compiler interface only. Do not call from within the RTS.
   --  This must be called to create a new task.
   --
   --  Priority is the task's priority (assumed to be in the
   --  System.Any_Priority'Range)
   --
   --  Stack_Address is the start address of the stack associated to the
   --  task, in case it has been preallocated by the compiler; it is equal
   --  to Null_Address when the stack needs to be allocated by the
   --  underlying operating system.
   --
   --  Size is the stack size of the task to create
   --
   --  Task_Info is the task info associated with the created task, or
   --  Unspecified_Task_Info if none.
   --
   --  State is the compiler generated task's procedure body
   --
   --  Discriminants is a pointer to a limited record whose discriminants
   --  are those of the task to create. This parameter should be passed as
   --  the single argument to State.
   --
   --  Elaborated is a pointer to a Boolean that must be set to true on exit
   --  if the task could be sucessfully elaborated.
   --
   --  Chain is a linked list of task that needs to be created. On exit,
   --  Created_Task.Activation_Link will be Chain.T_ID, and Chain.T_ID
   --  will be Created_Task (e.g the created task will be linked at the front
   --  of Chain).
   --
   --  Task_Image is a string created by the compiler that the
   --  run time can store to ease the debugging and the
   --  Ada.Task_Identification facility.
   --
   --  Created_Task is the resulting task.
   --
   --  This procedure can raise Storage_Error if the task creation fails

   procedure Activate_Restricted_Tasks
     (Chain_Access : Activation_Chain_Access);
   --  Compiler interface only. Do not call from within the RTS.
   --  This must be called by the creator of a chain of one or more new tasks,
   --  to activate them. The chain is a linked list that up to this point is
   --  only known to the task that created them, though the individual tasks
   --  are already in the All_Tasks_List.
   --
   --  The compiler builds the chain in LIFO order (as a stack). Another
   --  version of this procedure had code to reverse the chain, so as to
   --  activate the tasks in the order of declaration. This might be nice, but
   --  it is not needed if priority-based scheduling is supported, since all
   --  the activated tasks synchronize on the activators lock before they
   --  start activating and so they should start activating in priority order.

   procedure Complete_Restricted_Activation;
   --  Compiler interface only. Do not call from within the RTS.
   --  This should be called from the task body at the end of
   --  the elaboration code for its declarative part.
   --  Decrement the count of tasks to be activated by the activator and
   --  wake it up so it can check to see if all tasks have been activated.
   --  Except for the environment task, which should never call this procedure,
   --  T.Activator should only be null iff T has completed activation.

   procedure Complete_Restricted_Task;
   --  Compiler interface only. Do not call from within the RTS.
   --  This should be called from an implicit at-end handler
   --  associated with the task body, when it completes.
   --  From this point, the current task will become not callable.
   --  If the current task have not completed activation, this should be done
   --  now in order to wake up the activator (the environment task).

   function Restricted_Terminated (T : Task_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Compiler interface only. Do not call from within the RTS.
   --  This is called by the compiler to implement the 'Terminated attribute.
   --
   --  source code:
   --     T1'Terminated
   --
   --  code expansion:
   --     restricted_terminated (t1._task_id)

   procedure Finalize_Global_Tasks;
   --  This is needed to support the compiler interface; it will only be called
   --  by the Environment task in the binder generated file (by adafinal).
   --  Instead, it will cause the Environment to block forever, since none of
   --  the dependent tasks are expected to terminate
