-- This package provides internal RTS calls implementing operations
-- that apply to general entry calls, that is, calls to either
-- protected or task entries.
-- These declarations are not part of the GNARLI
with Unchecked_Conversion;
with System.Compiler_Exceptions;
-- Used for, Exception_ID
package System.Tasking.Entry_Calls is
procedure Internal_Lock
(Object : access Protection;
Ceiling_Violation : out Boolean);
-- This version of lock is used internally to lock a protected
-- object. It returns a Ceiling_Violation flag instead of raising
-- program error, avoiding the need for exception handlers in the
-- runtime to clean up after a ceiling violation.
procedure Internal_Lock_Read_Only
(Object : access Protection;
Ceiling_Violation : out Boolean);
-- This version of lock is used internally to lock a protected
-- object for read access.
-- It returns a Ceiling_Violation flag instead of raising
-- program error, avoiding the need for exception handlers in the
-- runtime to clean up after a ceiling violation.
procedure Lock_Server
(Entry_Call : Entry_Call_Link;
No_Server : out Boolean);
-- This locks the server targeted by Entry_Call, returning
-- No_Server=True if no server is currently targeted.
-- This may be a task or a protected object, depending on the
-- target of the original call or any subsequent requeues.
-- It will fail if there is no such target.
-- This routine is needed because the field specifying the server
-- for this call must be protected by the server's mutex. If it were
-- protected by the caller's mutex, accessing the server's queues would
-- require locking the caller to get the server, locking the server,
-- and then accessing the queues. This involves holding two ATCB
-- locks at once, something which we can guarantee that it will always
-- be done in the same order, or locking a protected object while we
-- hold an ATCB lock, something which is not permitted. Since
-- the server cannot be obtained reliably, it must be obtained unreliably
-- and then checked again once it has been locked.
procedure Unlock_Server (Entry_Call : Entry_Call_Link);
-- Unlock the server targeted by Entry_Call. The server must
-- be locked before calling this.
procedure Unlock_And_Update_Server (Entry_Call : Entry_Call_Link);
-- Similar to Unlock_Server, but services entry calls if the
-- server is a protected object.
procedure Enqueue_Call (Entry_Call : Entry_Call_Link);
procedure Dequeue_Call (Entry_Call : Entry_Call_Link);
-- Enqueue (dequeue) the call to (from) whatever server they are
-- calling, whether a task or a protected object.
procedure Wait_For_Completion (Entry_Call : Entry_Call_Link);
-- This procedure suspends the calling task until the specified entry
-- call has either been completed or cancelled. It performs other
-- operations required of suspended tasks, such as performing
-- dynamic priority changes. On exit, the call will not be queued.
-- This waits for calls on task or protected entries.
-- Abortion must be deferred when calling this procedure.
procedure Wait_Until_Abortable
(Caller : Task_ID;
Call : Entry_Call_Link);
-- This procedure suspends the calling task until the specified entry
-- call is queued abortably or completes.
-- Abortion must be deferred when calling this procedure.
