MachineParms: DEFINITIONS = {
These definitions cover the Sun SPARC architecture.
BitOrder: TYPE = {msBit, lsBit};
msBit => bit N is more significant than bit N+1 in a word
(PrincOps, Dragon, Motorola 680x0, IBM 360, Sparc)
lsBit => bit N+1 is more significant than bit N in a word
(PDP-11, VAX, Intel 80x86)
WordOrder: TYPE = {msWord, lsWord};
msWord => word N is more significant than word N+1 in multi-word arithmetic
lsWord => word N+1 is more significant than word N in multi-word arithmetic
bitOrder: BitOrder = msBit;
wordOrder: WordOrder = msWord;

logBitsPerLongWord: NAT = 5;
bitsPerReal: NAT = 32;
For BITS[REAL] on the target.
bitsPerPtr: NAT = 32;
For pointers into local and global frames.
bitsPerLongPtr: NAT = 32;
For all other pointers.

monLockInit: ARRAY [0..wordsPerMonLock) OF CARD32 = ALL[0];
bitsPerStringBound: NAT = 16;
StringBody has fields length & maxlength which must be unsigned[bitsPerStringBound]. STRING = POINTER TO StringBody.
TEXT has fields length & maxlength which must be of type [0..2**bitsPerStringBound-1), and the fields must occupy bitsPerStringBound bits each.
bitsPerLink: NAT = bitsPerPtr;
This length is used for imports/exports links.

TRUE iff there is fast random access to bytes
