+   -- Definitions for Parameter Mechanism Control --
+   -------------------------------------------------
+
+   --  For parameters passed to subprograms, and for function return values,
+   --  a passing mechanism is defined. The entity attribute Mechanism returns
+   --  an indication of the mechanism, and Set_Mechanism can be used to set
+   --  the mechanism. At the program level, there are three ways to explicitly
+   --  set the mechanism:
+
+   --    An Import_xxx or Export_xxx pragma (where xxx is Function, Procedure,
+   --    or Valued_Procedure) can explicitly set the mechanism for either a
+   --    parameter or a function return value. A mechanism explicitly set by
+   --    such a pragma overrides the effect of C_Pass_By_Copy described below.
+
+   --    If convention C_Pass_By_Copy is set for a record, and the record type
+   --    is used as the formal type of a subprogram with a foreign convention,
+   --    then the mechanism is set to By_Copy.
+
+   --    If a pragma C_Pass_By_Copy applies, and a record type has Convention
+   --    C, and the record type is used as the formal type of a subprogram
+   --    with a foreign convention, then the mechanism is set to use By_Copy
+   --    if the size of the record is sufficiently small (as determined by
+   --    the value of the parameter to pragma C_Pass_By_Copy).
+
+   --  The subtype Mechanism_Type (declared in Types) is used to describe
+   --  the mechanism to be used. The following special values of this type
+   --  specify the mechanism, as follows.
+
+   Default_Mechanism : constant Mechanism_Type := 0;
+   --  The default setting indicates that the backend will choose the proper
+   --  default mechanism. This depends on the convention of the subprogram
+   --  involved, and is generally target dependent. In the compiler, the
+   --  backend chooses the mechanism in this case in accordance with any
+   --  requirements imposed by the ABI. Note that Default is never used for
+   --  record types on foreign convention subprograms, since By_Reference
+   --  is forced for such types unless one of the above described approaches
+   --  is used to explicitly force By_Copy.
+
+   By_Copy : constant Mechanism_Type := -1;
+   --  Passing by copy is forced. The exact meaning of By_Copy (e.g. whether
+   --  at a low level the value is passed in registers, or the value is copied
+   --  and a pointer is passed), is determined by the backend in accordance
+   --  with requirements imposed by the ABI. Note that in the extended import
+   --  and export pragma mechanisms, this is called Value, rather than Copy.
+
+   By_Reference : constant Mechanism_Type := -2;
+   --  Passing by reference is forced. This is always equivalent to passing
+   --  a simple pointer in the case of subprograms with a foreign convention.
+   --  For unconstrained arrays passed to foreign convention subprograms, the
+   --  address of the first element of the array is passed. For convention
+   --  Ada, the result is logically to pass a reference, but the precise
+   --  mechanism (e.g. to pass bounds of unconstrained types and other needed
+   --  special information) is determined by the backend in accordance with
+   --  requirements imposed by the ABI as interpreted for Ada.
+
+   pragma Assert (Mechanism_Type'First = -2);
+   --  Check definition in types is right!
+
+   --  All the above special values are non-positive. Positive values for
+   --  Mechanism_Type values have a special meaning. They are used only in
+   --  the case of records, as a result of the use of the C_Pass_By_Copy
+   --  pragma, and the meaning is that if the size of the record is known
+   --  at compile time and does not exceed the mechanism type value, then
+   --  By_Copy passing is forced, otherwise By_Reference is forced.

+   --  This value is the default mechanism used for C convention records
+   --  in foreign-convention subprograms if no mechanism is otherwise

+   --  of a C_Pass_By_Copy configuration pragma.

+   --  type in the case of a function are established. The function of
+   --  this call is to set mechanism values for formals and for the
+   --  function return if they have not already been explicitly set by
+   --  a use of an extended Import or Export pragma. The idea is to set
+   --  mechanism values wherever the semantics is dictated by either
+   --  requirements or implementation advice in the RM, and to leave
+   --  the mechanism set to Default if there is no requirement, so that
+   --  the back-end is free to choose the most efficient method.

+   --  has the right form, and if not issues an error message. If the
+   --  argument has the right form then the Mechanism field of Ent is
+   --  set appropriately. It also performs some error checks. Note that
+   --  the mechanism name has not been analyzed (and cannot indeed be
+   --  analyzed, since it is semantic nonsense), so we get it in the
