Object IDs
----------
An object ID is a unique unsigned integer value which uniquely identifies an
object instance. Object IDs are passed as arguments to many directives in
RTEMS and RTEMS translates the ID to an internal object pointer. The efficient
manipulation of object IDs is critical to the performance of RTEMS services.
Because of this, there are two object Id formats defined. Each target
architecture specifies which format it will use. There is a thirty-two bit
format which is used for most of the supported architectures and supports
multiprocessor configurations. There is also a simpler sixteen bit format
which is appropriate for smaller target architectures and does not support
multiprocessor configurations.

The sixteen bit format for an object ID is composed of three parts: API, object
class, and index. The data type ``rtems_id`` is used to store object IDs.

The sixteen-bit format is designed to be as similar as possible to the
thrity-two bit format. The differences are limited to the eliminatation of the
node field and reduction of the index field from sixteen-bits to 8-bits. Thus
the sixteen bit format only supports up to 255 object instances per API/Class
combination and single processor systems. As this format is typically utilized
by sixteen-bit processors with limited address space, this is more than enough
object instances.
