@begin{RunTime}

@Defn{interrupt}
@Redundant[An @i{interrupt} represents a class of events that are detected by
the hardware or the system software.]
@Defn2{Term=[occurrence], Sec=(of an interrupt)}
Interrupts are said to occur. An @i{occurrence} of an interrupt is
separable into generation and delivery.
@Defn2{Term=[generation], Sec=(of an interrupt)}
@i{Generation} of an interrupt is the event in the underlying hardware
or system that makes the interrupt available to the program.
@Defn2{Term=[delivery], Sec=(of an interrupt)}
@i{Delivery} is the action that invokes part of the program as
response to the interrupt occurrence.
@Defn{pending interrupt occurrence}
Between generation and delivery, the interrupt occurrence @Redundant[(or
interrupt)] is @i{pending}.
@Defn{blocked interrupt}
Some or all interrupts may be @i{blocked}. When an interrupt is blocked, all
occurrences of that interrupt are prevented from being delivered.
@Defn2{Term=[attaching], Sec=(to an interrupt)}
@Defn{reserved interrupt}
Certain interrupts are @i{reserved}. The set of reserved interrupts is
implementation defined. A reserved interrupt is either an interrupt for
which user-defined handlers are not supported, or one which
already has an attached handler by some other implementation-defined means.
@Defn{interrupt handler}@PDefn2{Term=[handler],Sec=[interrupt]}
Program units can be connected to nonreserved interrupts. While
connected, the program unit is said to be @i{attached} to that interrupt.
The execution of that program unit, the @i{interrupt handler}, is invoked upon
delivery of the interrupt occurrence.
@ChgImplDef{Version=[2],Kind=[Deleted],InitialVersion=[0],
Text=[@ChgDeleted{Version=[2],
Text=[Implementation-defined aspects of interrupts.]}]}
@begin{Honest}
  As an obsolescent feature,
  interrupts may be attached to task entries by an address clause.
  See @RefSecNum{Interrupt Entries}.
@end{Honest}

While a handler is attached to an interrupt, it is called once for each
delivered occurrence of that interrupt. While the handler executes, the
corresponding interrupt is blocked.

While an interrupt is blocked, all occurrences of that interrupt are prevented
from being delivered. Whether such occurrences remain pending or are lost is
implementation defined.

@Defn{default treatment}
Each interrupt has a @i{default treatment} which determines the system's
response to an occurrence of that interrupt when no user-defined
handler is attached. The set of possible default treatments is
implementation defined, as is the method (if one exists) for configuring
the default treatments for interrupts.

An interrupt is delivered to the handler (or default treatment) that is in
effect for that interrupt at the time of delivery.

An exception propagated from a handler that is invoked by an
interrupt has no effect.

@Redundant[If the Ceiling_Locking policy (see @RefSecNum{Priority Ceiling Locking}) is
in effect, the interrupt handler executes with the active priority that is the
ceiling priority of the corresponding protected object.]

@end{RunTime}

@begin{ImplReq}

The implementation shall provide a mechanism to determine the minimum
stack space that is needed
for each interrupt handler and to reserve that space for
the execution of the handler. @Redundant{This space should accommodate
nested invocations of the handler where the system permits this.}

If the hardware or the underlying system holds pending interrupt
occurrences, the implementation shall provide for later delivery
of these occurrences to the program.

If the Ceiling_Locking policy is not in effect, the implementation
shall provide means for the application to specify whether interrupts
are to be blocked during protected actions.

@end{ImplReq}

@begin{DocReq}
@Leading@;The implementation shall document the following items:
@begin{Discussion}
This information may be different for different forms of interrupt handlers.
@end{Discussion}
@begin{Enumerate}
For each interrupt, which interrupts are blocked from delivery when a handler
attached to that interrupt executes (either as a result of an interrupt
delivery or of an ordinary call on a procedure of the corresponding
protected object).

Any interrupts that cannot be blocked, and the effect of attaching
handlers to such interrupts, if this is permitted.

Which run-time stack an interrupt handler uses when it executes as a
result of an interrupt delivery; if this is configurable, what is the
mechanism to do so; how to specify how much space to reserve on that stack.

Any implementation- or hardware-specific activity that happens
before a user-defined interrupt handler gets control (e.g.,
reading device registers, acknowledging devices).

Any timing or other limitations imposed on the execution of interrupt handlers.

The state (blocked/unblocked) of the nonreserved interrupts
when the program starts; if some interrupts are unblocked, what
is the mechanism a program can use to protect itself before it
can attach the corresponding handlers.

Whether the interrupted task is allowed to resume execution before the
interrupt handler returns.

The treatment of interrupt occurrences that are generated while
the interrupt is blocked; i.e., whether one or more occurrences
are held for later delivery, or all are lost.

Whether predefined or implementation-defined exceptions are raised as a
result of the occurrence of any interrupt, and the mapping between the
machine interrupts (or traps) and the predefined
exceptions.

On a multi-processor, the rules governing the delivery of an interrupt
to a particular processor.

@begin{ImplPerm}

@ChgRef{Version=[2],Kind=[Revised],ARef=[AI95-00434-01]}
If the underlying system or hardware does not allow interrupts to be
blocked, then no blocking is required @Redundant[as part of the execution of
subprograms of a protected object @Chg{Version=[2],New=[for which],Old=[whose]}
one of its subprograms is an interrupt handler].

In a multi-processor with more than one interrupt subsystem, it is
implementation defined whether (and how) interrupt sources from
separate subsystems share the same Interrupt_Id type
(see @RefSecNum{The Package Interrupts}).
In particular, the meaning of a blocked or pending interrupt may then be
applicable to one processor only.
@begin{discussion}
This issue is tightly related to the issue of scheduling on a
multi-processor. In a sense, if a particular interrupt source is not
available to all processors, the system is not truly homogeneous.

One way to approach this problem is to assign sub-ranges within
Interrupt_Id to each interrupt subsystem, such that @lquotes@;similar@rquotes@; interrupt
sources (e.g. a timer) in different subsystems get a distinct id.
@end{Discussion}

Implementations are allowed to impose timing or other limitations on the
execution of interrupt handlers.
@begin{Reason}
These limitations are often necessary to ensure proper behavior of the
implementation.
@end{Reason}

should be adhered to.

vary from one occurrence of the same interrupt to another.

@end{ImplPerm}

@begin{ImplAdvice}

@ChgRef{Version=[2],Kind=[Revised],ARef=[AI95-00434-01]}
If the Ceiling_Locking policy is not in effect, the implementation
should provide means for the application to specify which interrupts

for @Chg{Version=[2],New=[finer-grained],Old=[a finer-grain]} control of
interrupt blocking.
@ChgImplAdvice{Version=[2],Kind=[AddedNormal],Text=[@ChgAdded{Version=[2],
Text=[If the Ceiling_Locking policy is not in effect and the target system
allows for finer-grained control of interrupt blocking, a means for the

actions should be provided.]}]}

@end{ImplAdvice}

@begin{Notes}

The default treatment for an interrupt can be to keep the
interrupt pending or to deliver it to an implementation-defined
handler. Examples of actions that an implementation-defined
handler is allowed to perform include aborting the partition, ignoring
(i.e., discarding occurrences of) the interrupt, or queuing one
or more occurrences of the interrupt for possible later delivery
when a user-defined handler is attached to that interrupt.

It is a bounded error to call Task_Identification.Current_Task
(see @RefSecNum{The Package Task_Identification}) from an interrupt handler.

The rule that an exception propagated from an interrupt handler has no effect
is modeled after the rule about exceptions propagated out of task bodies.

The instruction sequence and interrupt handler used to measure interrupt

@begin{RunTime}

The Interrupt_Id type is an implementation-defined discrete type used to
identify interrupts.

The Is_Reserved function returns True if and only if the specified
interrupt is reserved.

The Is_Attached function returns True if and only if a user-specified
interrupt handler is attached to the interrupt.

@ChgRef{Version=[1],Kind=[Revised],Ref=[8652/0069],ARef=[AI95-00166-01]}
The Current_Handler function returns a value that represents the
attached handler of the interrupt. If no user-defined handler is attached to
the interrupt, Current_Handler returns @Chg{New=[@key{null}],
Old=[a value that designates the default treatment; calling Attach_Handler
or Exchange_Handler with this value restores the default treatment]}.

@ChgRef{Version=[3],Kind=[Revised],ARef=[AI05-0229-1]}
The Attach_Handler procedure attaches the specified handler to the
interrupt, overriding any existing treatment (including a user handler)
in effect for that interrupt.
If New_Handler is @key[null], the default treatment is restored.
@Defn2{Term=[Program_Error],Sec=(raised by failure of run-time check)}
If New_Handler designates a protected procedure @Chg{Version=[3],New=[for],
Old=[to]} which the @Chg{Version=[3],New=[aspect],
Old=[pragma]}
Interrupt_@!Handler @Chg{Version=[3],New=[is False],Old=[does not apply]},
Program_Error is raised. In
this case, the operation does not modify the existing interrupt treatment.

@ChgRef{Version=[1],Kind=[Revised],Ref=[8652/0069],ARef=[AI95-00166-01]}
The Exchange_Handler procedure operates in the same manner as Attach_Handler
with the addition that the value returned in Old_Handler designates the
previous treatment for the specified interrupt.@Chg{New=[ If the previous
treatment is not a user-defined handler, @key[null] is returned.],Old=[]}
@begin{Ramification}
Calling Attach_Handler or Exchange_Handler with this value for New_Handler
restores the previous handler.

application interrupt handlers. However, the default handler cannot be
cascaded this way (Old_Handler must be @key(null) for the default handler).]}
@end{Ramification}

The Detach_Handler procedure restores the default treatment for the
specified interrupt.

For all operations defined in this package that take a parameter of type
Interrupt_Id, with the exception of Is_Reserved and Reference, a check is
made that the specified interrupt is not reserved.

raised.

If the @Chg{Version=[4],New=[aspect Discard_Names is True

@begin{Reason}
A typical implementation of the Image attribute for enumeration types is
to store a table containing the names of all the enumeration literals.
@Chg{Version=[4],New=[Aspect],Old=[Pragma]} Discard_Names allows the
implementation to avoid storing such a
table without having to prove that the Image attribute is never used
(which can be difficult in the presence of separate compilation).

We did not specify the semantics of the Image attribute
@Chg{Version=[4],New=[when aspect Discard_Names is True],Old=[in the presence
of this pragma]} because different semantics might be desirable in
different situations.
In some cases, it might make sense to use the Image attribute to print
out a useful value that can be used to identify the entity given
information in compiler-generated listings.
In other cases, it might make sense to get an error at compile time or
at run time.
In cases where memory is plentiful, the simplest implementation makes
sense: ignore the @Chg{Version=[4],New=[aspect],Old=[pragma]}.
Implementations that are capable of avoiding the extra storage in cases
where the Image attribute is never used might also wish to ignore the
@Chg{Version=[4],New=[aspect],Old=[pragma]}.

The same applies to the Tags.Expanded_Name and Exceptions.Exception_Name
functions.

@end{Discussion}

@Defn2{Term=[sequential], Sec=(actions)}
Two actions are sequential (see @RefSecNum{Shared Variables}) if each
is the read or update of the same atomic object.

@PDefn2{Term=[by-reference type], Sec=(atomic or volatile)}
If a type is atomic or volatile and it is not a by-copy type, then the type
is defined to be a by-reference type. If any subcomponent of a type is
atomic or volatile, then the type is defined to be a by-reference type.

If an actual parameter is atomic or volatile, and the corresponding
formal parameter is not, then the parameter is passed by copy.
@begin{ImplNote}
Note that in the case where such a parameter is normally passed by
reference, a copy of the actual will have to be produced at the call-site,
and a pointer to the copy passed to the formal parameter. If the actual
is atomic, any copying has to use indivisible read on the way in, and
indivisible write on the way out.
@end{ImplNote}
@begin{Reason}
It has to be known at compile time whether an atomic or a volatile parameter
is to be passed by copy or by reference. For some types, it is unspecified
whether parameters are passed by copy or by reference. The above rules
further specify the parameter passing rules involving atomic and volatile
types and objects.
@end{Reason}

@PDefn2{Term=[external effect], Sec=(volatile/atomic objects)}
The external effect of a program
(see @RefSecNum(Conformity of an Implementation with the Standard))
is defined to include each read and update
of a volatile or atomic object. The implementation shall not
generate any memory reads or updates of atomic or volatile
objects other than those specified by the program.
@begin{Discussion}
The presumption is that volatile or atomic objects might reside in an
@lquotes@;active@rquotes@; part of the address space where each read has a
potential side effect, and at the very least might deliver a different value.

@Leading@;The rule above and the definition of external effect are intended to
prevent (at least) the following incorrect optimizations, where V is
a volatile variable:
@begin{itemize}
X:= V; Y:=V; cannot be allowed to be translated as Y:=V; X:=V;

Deleting redundant loads: X:= V; X:= V; shall read the value of V from
memory twice.

Deleting redundant stores: V:= X; V:= X; shall write into V twice.

Extra stores: V:= X+Y; should not translate to something like V:= X; V:= V+Y;

Extra loads: X:= V; Y:= X+Z; X:=X+B; should not translate to something like
Y:= V+Z; X:= V+B;

Reordering of loads from volatile variables: X:= V1; Y:= V2; (whether or not
V1 = V2) should not translate to Y:= V2; X:= V1;

Reordering of stores to volatile variables: V1:= X; V2:= X; should not

@begin{RunTime}

When an instance of Task_Attributes is elaborated in
a given active partition, an object of the
actual type corresponding to the formal type Attribute
is implicitly created for each task (of that partition)
that exists and is not yet terminated.
This object acts as a user-defined attribute of the task.
A task created previously
in the partition and not yet terminated has this attribute
from that point on. Each task subsequently created in the partition
will have this attribute when created. In all these cases, the initial value
of the given attribute is Initial_Value.

The Value operation returns the value of the corresponding attribute of T.

The Reference operation returns an access value that designates the
corresponding attribute of T.

The Set_Value operation performs any finalization on the old value of the
attribute of T and assigns Val to that attribute
(see @RefSecNum{Assignment Statements} and
@RefSecNum{Assignment and Finalization}).

The effect of the Reinitialize operation is the same as Set_Value where
the Val parameter is replaced with Initial_Value.

@begin{ImplPerm}

An implementation need not actually create the object corresponding
to a task attribute
until its value is set to something other than that of Initial_Value,
or until Reference is called for the task attribute.
Similarly, when the value of the attribute is
to be reinitialized to that of Initial_Value,
the object may instead be finalized and its storage reclaimed, to
be recreated when needed later.
While the object does not exist, the function Value may
simply return Initial_Value, rather than implicitly creating the object.
@begin{Discussion}
  The effect of this permission can only be observed if the assignment
  operation for the corresponding type has side effects.

@begin{ImplNote}
  @ChgRef{Version=[2],Kind=[Revised],ARef=[AI95-00114-01]}

  of Initial_Value.

An implementation is allowed to place restrictions on the maximum number of
attributes a task may have, the maximum size of each attribute, and the
total storage size allocated for all the attributes of a task.

@begin{ImplAdvice}

@ChgRef{Version=[2],Kind=[Revised],ARef=[AI95-00434-01]}
Some implementations are targeted to domains in which memory use at run
time must be completely deterministic. For such implementations, it is
recommended that the storage for task attributes will be pre-allocated
statically and not from the heap. This can be accomplished by either
placing restrictions on the number and the size of the @Chg{Version=[2],
New=[],Old=[task's ]}attributes@Chg{Version=[2],New=[ of a task],Old=[]},
or by using the pre-allocated storage for the first N attribute objects,
and the heap for the others. In the latter case, N should be documented.

@end{Reason}
@begin{Notes}

An attribute always exists (after instantiation), and has the initial value.
It need not occupy memory until the first operation that potentially
changes the attribute value. The same holds true after Reinitialize.

The result of the Reference function should be used with care; it is always
safe to use that result in the task body whose attribute is being
accessed. However, when the result is being used by another task, the
programmer must make sure that the task whose attribute is being accessed
is not yet terminated. Failing to do so could make the program execution
erroneous.
