   --------------------------------------
   -- System Implementation Parameters --
   --------------------------------------

   --  These parameters provide information about the target that is used
   --  by the compiler. They are in the private part of System, where they
   --  can be accessed using Rtsfind. All values defined here must be
   --  constants, since they are accessed at compile time.

   --  Note these definitions must come before the definitions of any
   --  complex types or other code that may require Rtsfind to access
   --  these entities during compilation of System itself.

   -----------------------------------
   -- Control of Exception Handling --
   -----------------------------------

   --  GNAT provides two methods of implementing exceptions:

   --    Longjmp/Setjmp (-gnatL)

   --      This approach uses longjmp/setjmp to handle exceptions. It
   --      uses less storage, and can often propagate exceptions faster,
   --      at the expense of (sometimes considerable) overhead in setting
   --      up an exception handler. This approach is available on all
   --      targets, and is the default where it is the only approach.

   --    Zero Cost (-gnatZ)

   --      This approach uses separate exception tables. These use extra
   --      storage, and exception propagation can be quite slow, but there
   --      is no overhead in setting up an exception handler (it is to this
   --      latter operation that the phrase zero-cost refers). This approach
   --      is only available on some targets, and is the default where it is
   --      available.

   Zero_Cost_Exceptions : constant Boolean := False;
   --  Set False for Longjmp/Setjmp, True for Zero Cost

   -------------------------------
   -- Control of Stack Checking --
   -------------------------------

   --  GNAT provides two methods of implementing exceptions:

   --    GCC Probing Mechanism

   --      This approach uses the standard GCC mechanism for
   --      stack checking. The method assumes that accessing
   --      storage immediately beyond the end of the stack
   --      will result in a trap that is converted to a storage
   --      error by the runtime system. This mechanism has
   --      minimal overhead, but requires complex hardware,
   --      operating system and run-time support. Probing is
   --      the default method where it is available. The stack
   --      size for the environment task depends on the operating
   --      system and cannot be set in a system-independent way.

   --   GNAT Stack-limit Checking

   --      This method relies on comparing the stack pointer
   --      with per-task stack limits. If the check fails, an
   --      exception is explicitly raised. The advantage is
   --      that the method requires no extra system dependent
   --      runtime support and can be used on systems without
   --      memory protection as well, but at the cost of more
   --      overhead for doing the check. This method is the
   --      default on systems that lack complete support for
   --      probing. The stack size for the environment task is

   Stack_Check_Probes : constant Boolean := False;
   --  Set True for GCC Probing, False for GNAT Stack-limit Checking

   Stack_Check_Default : constant Boolean := False;
   --  Set True for systems where stack checking is performed by default

   ---------------------------
   -- Underlying Priorities --
   ---------------------------

   --  Important note: this section of the file must come AFTER the
   --  definition of the system implementation parameters to ensure
   --  that the value of these parameters is available for analysis
   --  of the declarations here (using Rtsfind at compile time).

   --  The underlying priorities table provides a generalized mechanism
   --  for mapping from Ada priorities to system priorities. In some
   --  cases a 1-1 mapping is not the convenient or optimal choice.

   type Priorities_Mapping is array (Any_Priority) of Integer;
   pragma Suppress_Initialization (Priorities_Mapping);
   --  Suppress initialization in case gnat.adc specifies Normalize_Scalars

   --  On NT, the default mapping preserves the standard 31 priorities
   --  of the Ada model, but maps them using compression onto the 7
   --  priority levels available in NT.

   --  To replace the default values of the Underlying_Priorities mapping,
   --  copy this source file into your build directory, edit the file to
   --  reflect your desired behavior, and recompile with the command:

   --     $ gcc -c -O3 -gnatpgn system.ads

   --  then recompile the run-time parts that depend on this package:

   --     $ gnatmake -a -gnatn -O3 <your application>

   --  then force rebuilding your application if you need different options:

   --     $ gnatmake -f <your options> <your application>


   Underlying_Priorities : constant Priorities_Mapping :=

     (Priority'First .. 1        => -15,

      2 .. Default_Priority - 2  => -2,

      Default_Priority - 1       => -1,

      Default_Priority           => 0,

      Default_Priority + 1 .. 19 => 1,

      20 .. Priority'Last        => 2,
