| -- This package provides low level primitives used to implement clock and |
| -- delays in non tasking applications on Alpha/VMS |
| |
| -- The choice of the real clock/delay implementation (depending on whether |
| -- tasking is involved or not) is done via soft links (see s-soflin.ads) |
| |
| -- NEVER add any dependency to tasking packages here |
| |
| package System.OS_Primitives is |
| pragma Preelaborate; |
| |
| subtype OS_Time is Long_Integer; |
| -- System time on VMS is used for performance reasons. |
| -- Note that OS_Time is *not* the same as Ada.Calendar.Time, the |
| -- difference being that relative OS_Time is negative, but relative |
| -- Calendar.Time is positive. |
| -- See Ada.Calendar.Delays for more information on VMS Time. |
| |
| Max_Sensible_Delay : constant Duration := |
| Duration'Min (183 * 24 * 60 * 60.0, |
| Duration'Last); |
| -- Max of half a year delay, needed to prevent exceptions for large |
| -- delay values. It seems unlikely that any test will notice this |
| -- restriction, except in the case of applications setting the clock at |
| -- at run time (see s-tastim.adb). Also note that a larger value might |
| -- cause problems (e.g overflow, or more likely OS limitation in the |
| -- primitives used). In the case where half a year is too long (which |
| -- occurs in high integrity mode with 32-bit words, and possibly on |
| -- some specific ports of GNAT), Duration'Last is used instead. |
| |
| function OS_Clock return OS_Time; |
| -- Returns "absolute" time, represented as an offset |

| function Monotonic_Clock return Duration; |
| pragma Inline (Monotonic_Clock); |
| -- Returns "absolute" time, represented as an offset |

| -- corresponding changes in the compiler. |
| |
| procedure Timed_Delay (Time : Duration; Mode : Integer); |
| -- Implements the semantics of the delay statement when no tasking is |
| -- used in the application. |
| -- |
| -- Mode is one of the three values above |
| -- |
| -- Time is a relative or absolute duration value, depending on Mode. |
| -- |
| -- Note that currently Ada.Real_Time always uses the tasking run time, so |
| -- this procedure should never be called with Mode set to Absolute_RT. |
| -- This may change in future or bare board implementations. |

| -- Convert Duration to VMS system time |
| -- Mode is one of the three values above |
