-- -gnatQ is set.
Total_Errors_Detected : Nat renames Err_Vars.Total_Errors_Detected;
-- Number of errors detected so far. Includes count of serious errors and

-- the Serious_Errors_Detected value.
Warnings_Detected : Nat renames Err_Vars.Warnings_Detected;
-- Number of warnings detected
Configurable_Run_Time_Violations : Nat := 0;
-- Count of configurable run time violations so far. This is used to
-- suppress certain cascaded error messages when we know that we may not
-- have fully expanded some items, due to high integrity violations (i.e.
-- the use of constructs not permitted by the library in use, or improper
-- constructs in No_Run_Time mode).
type Compiler_State_Type is (Parsing, Analyzing);
Compiler_State : Compiler_State_Type;
-- Indicates current state of compilation. This is put in the Errout spec
-- because it affects the action of the error message handling. In
-- particular, an attempt is made by Errout to suppress cascaded error
-- messages in Parsing mode, but not in the other modes.

-- Id of current messages. Used to post file name when unit changes. This

-- Source_Reference line, then this is initialized to No_Source_File, to
-- force an initial reference to the real source file name.
Raise_Exception_On_Error : Nat renames Err_Vars.Raise_Exception_On_Error;
-- If this value is non-zero, then any attempt to generate an error
-- message raises the exception Error_Msg_Exception, and the error message
-- is not output. This is used for defending against junk resulting from

-----------------------------------
-- Suppression of Error Messages --
-----------------------------------
-- In an effort to reduce the impact of redundant error messages, the
-- error output routines in this package normally suppress certain
-- classes of messages as follows:
-- 1. Identical messages placed at the same point in the text. Such
-- duplicate error message result for example from rescanning
-- sections of the text that contain lexical errors. Only one of
-- such a set of duplicate messages is output, and the rest are
-- suppressed.
-- 2. If more than one parser message is generated for a single source
-- line, then only the first message is output, the remaining
-- messages on the same line are suppressed.
-- 3. If a message is posted on a node for which a message has been
-- previously posted, then only the first message is retained. The
-- Error_Posted flag is used to detect such multiple postings. Note
-- that this only applies to semantic messages, since otherwise
-- for parser messages, this would be a special case of case 2.
-- 4. If a message is posted on a node whose Etype or Entity
-- fields reference entities on which an error message has
-- already been placed, as indicated by the Error_Posted flag
-- being set on these entities, then the message is suppressed.
-- 5. If a message attempts to insert an Error node, or a direct
-- reference to the Any_Type node, then the message is suppressed.
-- 6. Note that cases 2-5 only apply to error messages, not warning
-- messages. Warning messages are only suppressed for case 1, and
-- when they come from other than the main extended unit.
-- This normal suppression action may be overridden in cases 2-5 (but not
-- in case 1) by setting All_Errors mode, or by setting the special
-- unconditional message insertion character (!) at the end of the message
-- text as described below.
---------------------------------------------------------
-- Error Message Text and Message Insertion Characters --
---------------------------------------------------------
-- Error message text strings are composed of lower case letters, digits
-- and the special characters space, comma, period, colon and semicolon,
-- apostrophe and parentheses. Special insertion characters can also
-- appear which cause the error message circuit to modify the given
-- string as follows:
-- Insertion character % (Percent: insert name from Names table)
-- The character % is replaced by the text for the name specified by
-- the Name_Id value stored in Error_Msg_Name_1. A blank precedes the
-- name if it is preceded by a non-blank character other than left
-- parenthesis. The name is enclosed in quotes unless manual quotation
-- mode is set. If the Name_Id is set to No_Name, then no insertion
-- occurs; if the Name_Id is set to Error_Name, then the string
-- is inserted. A second and third % may appear in a single
-- message, similarly replaced by the names which are specified by the
-- Name_Id values stored in Error_Msg_Name_2 and Error_Msg_Name_3. The
-- names are decoded and cased according to the current identifier
-- casing mode. Note: if a unit name ending with %b or %s is passed
-- for this kind of insertion, this suffix is simply stripped. Use a
-- unit name insertion ($) to process the suffix.
-- Insertion character %% (Double percent: insert literal name)
-- The character sequence %% acts as described above for %, except
-- that the name is simply obtained with Get_Name_String and is not
-- decoded or cased, it is inserted literally from the names table.
-- A trailing %b or %s is not treated specially.
-- Insertion character $ (Dollar: insert unit name from Names table)
-- The character $ is treated similarly to %, except that the name is
-- obtained from the Unit_Name_Type value in Error_Msg_Unit_1 and
-- Error_Msg_Unit_2, as provided by Get_Unit_Name_String in package
-- Uname. Note that this name includes the postfix (spec) or (body)
-- strings. If this postfix is not required, use the normal %
-- insertion for the unit name.
-- Insertion character { (Left brace: insert file name from names table)
-- The character { is treated similarly to %, except that the input
-- value is a File_Name_Type value stored in Error_Msg_File_1 or
-- Error_Msg_File_2 or Error_Msg_File_3. The value is output literally,
-- enclosed in quotes as for %, but the case is not modified, the
-- insertion is the exact string stored in the names table without
-- adjusting the casing.
-- Insertion character * (Asterisk, insert reserved word name)
-- The insertion character * is treated exactly like % except that the
-- resulting name is cased according to the default conventions for
-- reserved words (see package Scans).
-- Insertion character & (Ampersand: insert name from node)
-- The insertion character & is treated similarly to %, except that
-- the name is taken from the Chars field of the given node, and may
-- refer to a child unit name, or a selected component. The casing is,
-- if possible, taken from the original source reference, which is
-- obtained from the Sloc field of the given node or nodes. If no Sloc
-- is available (happens e.g. for nodes in package Standard), then the
-- default case (see Scans spec) is used. The nodes to be used are
-- stored in Error_Msg_Node_1, Error_Msg_Node_2. No insertion occurs
-- for the Empty node, and the Error node results in the insertion of
-- the characters . In addition, if the special global variable
-- Error_Msg_Qual_Level is non-zero, then the reference will include
-- up to the given number of levels of qualification, using the scope
-- chain.
-- Insertion character # (Pound: insert line number reference)
-- The character # is replaced by the string indicating the source
-- position stored in Error_Msg_Sloc. There are three cases:
--
-- for package Standard: in package Standard
-- for locations in current file: at line nnn:ccc
-- for locations in other files: at filename:nnn:ccc
--
-- By convention, the # insertion character is only used at the end of
-- an error message, so the above strings only appear as the last
-- characters of an error message. The only exceptions to this rule
-- are that an RM reference may follow in the form (RM .....) and a
-- right parenthesis may immediately follow the #. In the case of
-- continued messages, # can only appear at the end of a group of
-- continuation messsages, except that \\ messages which always start
-- a new line end the sequence from the point of view of this rule.
-- The idea is that for any use of -gnatj, it will still be the case
-- that a location reference appears only at the end of a line.
-- Insertion character } (Right brace: insert type reference)
-- The character } is replaced by a string describing the type
-- referenced by the entity whose Id is stored in Error_Msg_Node_1.
-- the string gives the name or description of the type, and also
-- where appropriate the location of its declaration. Special cases
-- like "some integer type" are handled appropriately. Only one } is
-- allowed in a message, since there is not enough room for two (the
-- insertion can be quite long, including a file name) In addition, if
-- the special global variable Error_Msg_Qual_Level is non-zero, then
-- the reference will include up to the given number of levels of
-- qualification, using the scope chain.
-- Insertion character @ (At: insert column number reference)
-- The character @ is replaced by null if the RM_Column_Check mode is
-- off (False). If the switch is on (True), then @ is replaced by the
-- text string " in column nnn" where nnn is the decimal
-- representation of the column number stored in Error_Msg_Col plus
-- one (the plus one is because the number is stored 0-origin and
-- displayed 1-origin).
-- Insertion character ^ (Carret: insert integer value)
-- The character ^ is replaced by the decimal conversion of the Uint
-- value stored in Error_Msg_Uint_1, with a possible leading minus.
-- A second ^ may occur in the message, in which case it is replaced
-- by the decimal conversion of the Uint value in Error_Msg_Uint_2.
-- Insertion character > (Right bracket, run time name)
-- The character > is replaced by a string of the form (name) if
-- Targparm scanned out a Run_Time_Name (see package Targparm for
-- details). The name is enclosed in parentheses and output in mixed
-- case mode (upper case after any space in the name). If no run time
-- name is defined, this insertion character has no effect.
-- Insertion character ! (Exclamation: unconditional message)
-- The character ! appearing as the last character of a message makes
-- the message unconditional which means that it is output even if it
-- would normally be suppressed. See section above for a description
-- of the cases in which messages are normally suppressed. Note that
-- in the case of warnings, the meaning is that the warning should not
-- be removed in dead code (that's the only time that the use of !
-- has any effect for a warning).
--
-- Note: the presence of ! is ignored in continuation messages (i.e.
-- messages starting with the \ insertion character). The effect of the
-- use of ! in a parent message automatically applies to all of its
-- continuation messages (since we clearly don't want any case in which
-- continuations are separated from the parent message. It is allowable
-- to put ! in continuation messages, and the usual style is to include
-- it, since it makes it clear that the continuation is part of an
-- unconditional message.
-- Insertion character !! (unconditional warning)
-- Normally warning messages issued in other than the main unit are
-- suppressed. If the message ends with !! then this suppression is
-- avoided. This is currently used by the Compile_Time_Warning pragma
-- to ensure the message for a with'ed unit is output, and for warnings
-- on ineffective back-end inlining, which is detected in units that
-- contain subprograms to be inlined in the main program.
-- Insertion character ? (Question: warning message)
-- The character ? appearing anywhere in a message makes the message
-- warning instead of a normal error message, and the text of the
-- message will be preceded by "warning:" in the normal case. The
-- handling of warnings if further controlled by the Warning_Mode
-- option (-w switch), see package Opt for further details, and also by
-- the current setting from pragma Warnings. This pragma applies only
-- to warnings issued from the semantic phase (not the parser), but
-- currently all relevant warnings are posted by the semantic phase
-- anyway. Messages starting with (style) are also treated as warning
-- messages.
--
-- Note: when a warning message is output, the text of the message is
-- preceded by "warning: " in the normal case. An exception to this
-- rule occurs when the text of the message starts with "info: " in
-- which case this string is not prepended. This allows callers to
-- label certain warnings as informational messages, rather than as
-- warning messages requiring some action.
--
-- Note: the presence of ? is ignored in continuation messages (i.e.
-- messages starting with the \ insertion character). The warning
-- status of continuations is determined only by the parent message
-- which is being continued. It is allowable to put ? in continuation
-- messages, and the usual style is to include it, since it makes it
-- clear that the continuation is part of a warning message.
-- Insertion character < (Less Than: conditional warning message)
-- The character < appearing anywhere in a message is used for a
-- conditional error message. If Error_Msg_Warn is True, then the
-- effect is the same as ? described above. If Error_Msg_Warn is
-- False, then there is no effect.
-- Insertion character A-Z (Upper case letter: Ada reserved word)
-- If two or more upper case letters appear in the message, they are
-- taken as an Ada reserved word, and are converted to the default
-- case for reserved words (see Scans package spec). Surrounding
-- quotes are added unless manual quotation mode is currently set.
-- Insertion character ` (Backquote: set manual quotation mode)
-- The backquote character always appears in pairs. Each backquote of
-- the pair is replaced by a double quote character. In addition, any
-- reserved keywords, or name insertions between these backquotes are
-- not surrounded by the usual automatic double quotes. See the
-- section below on manual quotation mode for further details.
-- Insertion character ' (Quote: literal character)
-- Precedes a character which is placed literally into the message.
-- Used to insert characters into messages that are one of the
-- insertion characters defined here. Also useful in inserting
-- sequences of upper case letters (e.g. RM) which are not to be
-- treated as keywords.
-- Insertion character \ (Backslash: continuation message)
-- Indicates that the message is a continuation of a message
-- previously posted. This is used to ensure that such groups of
-- messages are treated as a unit. The \ character must be the first
-- character of the message text.
-- Insertion character \\ (Two backslashes, continuation with new line)
-- This differs from \ only in -gnatjnn mode (Error_Message_Line_Length
-- set non-zero). This sequence forces a new line to start even when
-- continuations are being gathered into a single message.
-- Insertion character | (Vertical bar: non-serious error)
-- By default, error messages (other than warning messages) are
-- considered to be fatal error messages which prevent expansion or
-- generation of code in the presence of the -gnatQ switch. If the
-- insertion character | appears, the message is considered to be
-- non-serious, and does not cause Serious_Errors_Detected to be
-- incremented (so expansion is not prevented by such a msg).
-- Insertion character ~ (Tilde: insert string)
-- Indicates that Error_Msg_String (1 .. Error_Msg_Strlen) is to be
-- inserted to replace the ~ character. The string is inserted in the
-- literal form it appears, without any action on special characters.
----------------------------------------
-- Specialization of Messages for VMS --
----------------------------------------
-- Some messages mention gcc-style switch names. When using an OpenVMS
-- host, such switch names must be converted to their corresponding VMS
-- qualifer. The following table controls this translation. In each case
-- the original message must contain the string "-xxx switch", where xxx
-- is the Gname? entry from below, and this string will be replaced by
-- "/yyy qualifier", where yyy is the corresponding Vname? entry.

-----------------------------------------------------
-- Global Values Used for Error Message Insertions --
-----------------------------------------------------
-- The following global variables are essentially additional parameters
-- passed to the error message routine for insertion sequences described
-- above. The reason these are passed globally is that the insertion
-- mechanism is essentially an untyped one in which the appropriate
-- variables are set depending on the specific insertion characters used.
-- Note that is mandatory that the caller ensure that global variables
-- are set before the Error_Msg call, otherwise the result is undefined.

-- Used if current message contains a ~ insertion character to indicate

-----------------------------------------------------
-- Format of Messages and Manual Quotation Control --
-----------------------------------------------------
-- Messages are generally all in lower case, except for inserted names
-- and appear in one of the following three forms:
-- error: text
-- warning: text
-- The prefixes error and warning are supplied automatically (depending
-- on the use of the ? insertion character), and the call to the error
-- message routine supplies the text. The "error: " prefix is omitted
-- in brief error message formats.
-- Reserved Ada keywords in the message are in the default keyword case
-- (determined from the given source program), surrounded by quotation
-- marks. This is achieved by spelling the reserved word in upper case
-- letters, which is recognized as a request for insertion of quotation
-- marks by the error text processor. Thus for example:
-- Error_Msg_AP ("IS expected");
-- would result in the output of one of the following:
-- error: "is" expected
-- error: "IS" expected
-- error: "Is" expected
-- the choice between these being made by looking at the casing convention
-- used for keywords (actually the first compilation unit keyword) in the
-- source file.
-- Note: a special exception is that RM is never treated as a keyword
-- but instead is copied literally into the message, this avoids the
-- need for writing 'R'M for all reference manual quotes.
-- In the case of names, the default mode for the error text processor
-- is to surround the name by quotation marks automatically. The case
-- used for the identifier names is taken from the source program where
-- possible, and otherwise is the default casing convention taken from
-- the source file usage.
-- In some cases, better control over the placement of quote marks is
-- required. This is achieved using manual quotation mode. In this mode,
-- one or more insertion sequences is surrounded by backquote characters.
-- The backquote characters are output as double quote marks, and normal
-- automatic insertion of quotes is suppressed between the double quotes.
-- For example:
-- Error_Msg_AP ("`END &;` expected");
-- generates a message like
-- error: "end Open_Scope;" expected
-- where the node specifying the name Open_Scope has been stored in
-- Error_Msg_Node_1 prior to the call. The great majority of error
-- messages operates in normal quotation mode.
-- Note: the normal automatic insertion of spaces before insertion
-- sequences (such as those that come from & and %) is suppressed in
-- manual quotation mode, so blanks, if needed as in the above example,
-- must be explicitly present.
----------------------------
-- Message ID Definitions --
----------------------------
subtype Error_Msg_Id is Erroutc.Error_Msg_Id;
function "=" (Left, Right : Error_Msg_Id) return Boolean
renames Erroutc."=";
-- A type used to represent specific error messages. Used by the clients
-- of this package only in the context of the Get_Error_Id and
-- Change_Error_Text subprograms.
No_Error_Msg : constant Error_Msg_Id := Erroutc.No_Error_Msg;
-- A constant which is different from any value returned by Get_Error_Id.
-- Typically used by a client to indicate absense of a saved Id value.
function Get_Msg_Id return Error_Msg_Id renames Erroutc.Get_Msg_Id;
-- Returns the Id of the message most recently posted using one of the
-- Error_Msg routines.
function Get_Location (E : Error_Msg_Id) return Source_Ptr
renames Erroutc.Get_Location;
-- Returns the flag location of the error message with the given id E
------------------------
-- List Pragmas Table --
------------------------
-- When a pragma Page or pragma List is encountered by the parser, an
-- entry is made in the following table. This table is then used to
-- control the full listing if one is being generated. Note that the
-- reason we do the processing in the parser is so that we get proper
-- listing control even in syntax check only mode.
type List_Pragma_Type is (List_On, List_Off, Page);
type List_Pragma_Record is record
Ptyp : List_Pragma_Type;
Ploc : Source_Ptr;
end record;
-- Note: Ploc points to the terminating semicolon in the List_Off and Page
-- cases, and to the pragma keyword for List_On. In the case of a pragma
-- List_Off, a List_On entry is also made in the table, pointing to the
-- pragma keyword. This ensures that, as required, a List (Off) pragma is
-- listed even in list off mode.
package List_Pragmas is new Table.Table (
Table_Component_Type => List_Pragma_Record,
Table_Index_Type => Int,
Table_Low_Bound => 1,
Table_Initial => 50,
Table_Increment => 200,
Table_Name => "List_Pragmas");
---------------------------
-- Ignore_Errors Feature --
---------------------------
-- In certain cases, notably for optional subunits, the compiler operates
-- in a mode where errors are to be ignored, and the whole unit is to be
-- considered as not present. To implement this we provide the following
-- flag to enable special handling, where error messages are suppressed,
-- but the Fatal_Error flag will still be set in the normal manner.
Ignore_Errors_Enable : Nat := 0;
-- Triggering switch. If non-zero, then ignore errors mode is activated.
-- This is a counter to allow convenient nesting of enable/disable.
------------------------------
-- Error Output Subprograms --
------------------------------
procedure Initialize;
-- Initializes for output of error messages. Must be called for each
-- source file before using any of the other routines in the package.
procedure Finalize (Last_Call : Boolean);
-- Finalize processing of error message list. Includes processing for
-- duplicated error messages, and other similar final adjustment of the
-- list of error messages. Note that this procedure must be called before
-- calling Compilation_Errors to determine if there were any errors. It
-- is perfectly fine to call Finalize more than once, providing that the
-- parameter Last_Call is set False for every call except the last call.
-- This multiple call capability is used to do some processing that may
-- generate messages. Call Finalize to eliminate duplicates and remove
-- deleted warnings. Test for compilation errors using Compilation_Errors,
-- then generate some more errors/warnings, call Finalize again to make
-- sure that all duplicates in these new messages are dealt with, then
-- finally call Output_Messages to output the final list of messages. The
-- argument Last_Call must be set False on all calls except the last call,
-- and must be set True on the last call (a value of True activates some
-- processing that must only be done after all messages are posted).
procedure Output_Messages;
-- Output list of messages, including messages giving number of detected
-- errors and warnings.
procedure Error_Msg (Msg : String; Flag_Location : Source_Ptr);
-- Output a message at specified location. Can be called from the parser
-- or the semantic analyzer.
procedure Error_Msg_S (Msg : String);
-- Output a message at current scan pointer location. This routine can be
-- called only from the parser, since it references Scan_Ptr.
procedure Error_Msg_AP (Msg : String);
-- Output a message just after the previous token. This routine can be
-- called only from the parser, since it references Prev_Token_Ptr.
procedure Error_Msg_BC (Msg : String);
-- Output a message just before the current token. Note that the important
-- difference between this and the previous routine is that the BC case
-- posts a flag on the current line, whereas AP can post a flag at the
-- end of the preceding line. This routine can be called only from the
-- parser, since it references Token_Ptr.
procedure Error_Msg_SC (Msg : String);
-- Output a message at the start of the current token, unless we are at
-- the end of file, in which case we always output the message after the
-- last real token in the file. This routine can be called only from the
-- parser, since it references Token_Ptr.
procedure Error_Msg_SP (Msg : String);
-- Output a message at the start of the previous token. This routine can
-- be called only from the parser, since it references Prev_Token_Ptr.
procedure Error_Msg_N (Msg : String; N : Node_Or_Entity_Id);
-- Output a message at the Sloc of the given node. This routine can be
-- called from the parser or the semantic analyzer, although the call from
-- the latter is much more common (and is the most usual way of generating
-- error messages from the analyzer). The message text may contain a
-- single & insertion, which will reference the given node. The message is
-- suppressed if the node N already has a message posted, or if it is a
-- warning and warnings and N is an entity node for which warnings are
-- suppressed.
procedure Error_Msg_F (Msg : String; N : Node_Id);
-- Similar to Error_Msg_N except that the message is placed on the
-- first node of the construct N (First_Node (N)).
procedure Error_Msg_NE
(Msg : String;
N : Node_Or_Entity_Id;
E : Node_Or_Entity_Id);
-- Output a message at the Sloc of the given node N, with an insertion of
-- the name from the given entity node E. This is used by the semantic
-- routines, where this is a common error message situation. The Msg text
-- will contain a & or } as usual to mark the insertion point. This
-- routine can be called from the parser or the analyzer.
procedure Error_Msg_FE
(Msg : String;
N : Node_Id;
