--  This package defines some system dependent parameters for GNAT. These
--  are values that are referenced by the runtime library and are therefore

--  relevant to the target machine.
--  The parameters whose value is defined in the spec are not generally
--  expected to be changed. If they are changed, it will be necessary to

--  recompile the run-time library.
--  The parameters which are defined by functions can be changed by modifying
--  the body of System.Parameters in file s-parame.adb. A change to this body

--  requires only rebinding and relinking of the application.
package System.Parameters is

pragma Pure (Parameters);
   Count_Max : constant := Integer'Last;
   --  Upper bound of type Ada.Text_IO.Count. This value must be large
   --  enough so that the assumption that the Line, Column and Page

   --  counts can never exceed this value is a valid assumption.
   Field_Max : constant := 255;

   --  Upper bound of type Ada.Text_IO.Field
   type Task_Storage_Size is new integer;

   --  Type used in tasking units for task storage size
   type Size_Type is new Task_Storage_Size;

   --  Type used to provide task storage size to runtime
   Unspecified_Size : constant Size_Type := Size_Type'First;

   --  Value used to indicate that no size type is set
   function Default_Stack_Size return Size_Type;

   --  Default task stack size used if none is specified
   function Minimum_Stack_Size return Size_Type;

   --  Minimum task stack size permitted
