-- This generic package provides a target independent implementation of the
-- floating-point attributes that denote functions. The implementations here
-- are portable, but very slow. The runtime contains a set of instantiations
-- of this package for all predefined floating-point types, and these should
-- be replaced by efficient assembly language code where possible.
generic
type T is digits <>;
package System.Fat_Gen is
pragma Pure;
subtype UI is Integer;
-- The runtime representation of universal integer for the purposes of
-- this package is integer. The expander generates conversions for the
-- actual type used. For functions returning universal integer, there
-- is no problem, since the result always is in range of integer. For
-- input arguments, the expander has to do some special casing to deal
-- with the (very annoying!) cases of out of range values. If we used
-- Long_Long_Integer to represent universal, then there would be no
-- problem, but the resulting inefficiency would be annoying.

function Valid (X : access T) return Boolean;
-- This function checks if the object of type T referenced by X
-- is valid, and returns True/False accordingly. The parameter is
-- passed by reference (access) here, as the object of type T may
-- be an abnormal value that cannot be passed in a floating-point
-- register, and the whole point of 'Valid is to prevent exceptions.
-- Note that the object of type T must have the natural alignment
-- for type T. See Unaligned_Valid for further discussion.
--
-- Note: this routine does not work for Vax_Float ???
function Unaligned_Valid (A : System.Address) return Boolean;
-- This version of Valid is used if the floating-point value to
-- be checked is not known to be aligned (for example it appears
-- in a packed record). In this case, we cannot call Valid since
-- Valid assumes proper full alignment. Instead Unaligned_Valid
-- performs the same processing for a possibly unaligned float,
-- by first doing a copy and then calling Valid. One might think
-- that the front end could simply do a copy to an aligned temp,
-- but remember that we may have an abnormal value that cannot
-- be copied into a floating-point register, so things are a bit
-- trickier than one might expect.
--
-- Note: Unaligned_Valid is never called for a target which does
-- not require strict alignment (e.g. the ia32/x86), since on a
-- target not requiring strict alignment, it is fine to pass a
-- non-aligned value to the standard Valid routine.
--
-- Note: this routine does not work for Vax_Float ???

-- Note: previously the validity checking subprograms (Unaligned_Valid and
-- Valid) were also inlined, but this was changed since there were some
-- problems with this inlining in optimized mode, and in any case it seems
-- better to avoid this inlining (space and robustness considerations).
