DriverStartChain: DEFINITIONS =
BEGIN
-- NOTE: When AR 3536 is fixed, the modules HeadStartChain, DriverStartChain, and StoreDriverStartChain may be replace with single module StartChain.
-- Mechanism used to implement starting extensible set of modules (e.g. heads, drivers, test programs)
-- We refer to a member of the set of modules as a ‘‘link’’; we refer to the module wishing to start the set as the ‘‘master link’’.
-- Each link should export Start with a body consisting simply of a call on Start imported through a second instance of StartChain (e.g. IMPORTS RemainingHeads: StartChain).
-- The master link should export Start with a body which just returns and should also contain a call on Start imported through a second instance of StartChain named EntireStartChain.
-- The machinery is completed with a configuration which sets up a chain of StartChain imports-exports from EntireStartChain, through each of the links, and back to the master link.
Start: PROCEDURE;
-- Start the (rest of the) chain
END.
