   type RTS_Lock is limited private;

   --  and the RTS_Lock is that the later one serves only as a semaphore so
   --  that do not check for ceiling violations.

   type Suspension_Object is limited private;
   --  Should be used for the implementation of Ada.Synchronous_Task_Control

   type Task_Body_Access is access procedure;
   --  Pointer to the task body's entry point (or possibly a wrapper
   --  declared local to the GNARL).

   type Private_Data is limited private;
   --  Any information that the GNULLI needs maintained on a per-task basis.
   --  A component of this type is guaranteed to be included in the
   --  Ada_Task_Control_Block.
