32 -- This package provides low level primitives used to implement clock and
33 -- delays in non tasking applications, for LynxOS.
34
35 -- The choice of the real clock/delay implementation (depending on whether
36 -- tasking is involved or not) is done via soft links (see s-soflin.ads)
37
38 -- NEVER add any dependency to tasking packages here

40 package System.OS_Primitives is
41 pragma Preelaborate;
42
43 Max_Sensible_Delay : constant Duration := 16#10_0000.0#;
44 -- LynxOS does not support delays as long as half a year, so we set this to
45 -- a shorter, but still fairly long, duration. Experiments show that if
46 -- pthread_cond_timedwait is passed an abstime much greater than about
47 -- 2**21, it fails, returning EAGAIN. The cutoff is somewhere between
48 -- 16#20_8000.0# and 16#20_F000.0#. This behavior is not documented.

50 procedure Initialize;
51 -- Initialize global settings related to this package. This procedure
52 -- should be called before any other subprograms in this package. Note
53 -- that this procedure can be called several times.
54
55 function Clock return Duration;
56 pragma Inline (Clock);
57 -- Returns "absolute" time, represented as an offset relative to "the
58 -- Epoch", which is Jan 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC on UNIX systems. This
59 -- implementation is affected by system's clock changes.

61 Relative : constant := 0;
62 Absolute_Calendar : constant := 1;
63 Absolute_RT : constant := 2;
64 -- Values for Mode call below. Note that the compiler (exp_ch9.adb) relies
65 -- on these values. So any change here must be reflected in corresponding
66 -- changes in the compiler.
67
68 procedure Timed_Delay (Time : Duration; Mode : Integer);
69 -- Implements the semantics of the delay statement when no tasking is used
70 -- in the application.
71 --
72 -- Mode is one of the three values above
73 --
74 -- Time is a relative or absolute duration value, depending on Mode.
75 --
76 -- Note that currently Ada.Real_Time always uses the tasking run time,
77 -- so this procedure should never be called with Mode set to Absolute_RT.
78 -- This may change in future or bare board implementations.
