package Types is
pragma Preelaborate (Types);

--  This package contains host independent type definitions which are used
--  in more than one unit in the compiler. They are gathered here for easy
--  reference, though in some cases the full description is found in the
--  relevant module which implements the definition. The main reason that
--  they are not in their "natural" specs is that this would cause a lot of
--  inter-spec dependencies, and in particular some awkward circular
--  dependencies would have to be dealt with.

--  WARNING: There is a C version of this package. Any changes to this
--  source file must be properly reflected in the C header file a-types.h

--  Note: the declarations in this package reflect an expectation that the
--  host machine has an efficient integer base type with a range at least
--  32 bits 2s-complement. If there are any machines for which this is not
--  a correct assumption, a significant number of changes will be required!

   -------------------------------
   -- General Use Integer Types --
   -------------------------------

   type Int is range -2 ** 31 .. +2 ** 31 - 1;
   --  Signed 32-bit integer

   type Dint is range -2 ** 63 .. +2 ** 63 - 1;
   --  Double length (64-bit) integer

   subtype Nat is Int range 0 .. Int'Last;
   --  Non-negative Int values

   subtype Pos is Int range 1 .. Int'Last;
   --  Positive Int values

   type Word is mod 2 ** 32;
   --  Unsigned 32-bit integer

   type Short is range -32768 .. +32767;
   for Short'Size use 16;

   --------------------------------------
   -- 8-Bit Character and String Types --
   --------------------------------------

   --  We use Standard.Character and Standard.String freely, since we are
   --  compiling ourselves, and we properly implement the required 8-bit
   --  character code as required in Ada 95. This section defines a few
   --  general use constants and subtypes.

   EOF : constant Character := ASCII.SUB;
   --  The character SUB (16#1A#) is used in DOS and other systems derived
   --  from DOS (OS/2, NT etc) to signal the end of a text file. Internally
   --  all source files are ended by an EOF character, even on Unix systems.
   --  An EOF character acts as the end of file only as the last character
   --  of a source buffer, in any other position, it is treated as a blank
   --  if it appears between tokens, and as an illegal character otherwise.
   --  This makes life easier dealing with files that originated from DOS,
   --  including concatenated files with interspersed EOF characters.

   subtype Graphic_Character is Character range ' ' .. '~';
   --  Graphic characters, as defined in ARM

   subtype Line_Terminator is Character range ASCII.LF .. ASCII.CR;
   --  Line terminator characters (LF, VT, FF, CR)

   subtype Upper_Half_Character is
     Character range Character'Val (16#80#) .. Character'Val (16#FF#);
   --  Characters with the upper bit set

   type Character_Ptr is access all Character;
   type String_Ptr    is access all String;
   --  Standard character and string pointers

   procedure Free is new Unchecked_Deallocation (String, String_Ptr);
   --  Procedure for freeing dynamically allocated String values

   subtype Word_Hex_String is String (1 .. 8);
   --  Type used to represent Word value as 8 hex digits, with lower case
   --  letters for the alphabetic cases.

   function Get_Hex_String (W : Word) return Word_Hex_String;
   --  Convert word value to 8-character hex string

   -----------------------------------------
   -- Types Used for Text Buffer Handling --
   -----------------------------------------

   --  We can't use type String for text buffers, since we must use the
   --  standard 32-bit integer as an index value, since we count on all
   --  index values being the same size.

   type Text_Ptr is new Int;
   --  Type used for subscripts in text buffer

   type Text_Buffer is array (Text_Ptr range <>) of Character;
   --  Text buffer used to hold source file or library information file

   type Text_Buffer_Ptr is access all Text_Buffer;
   --  Text buffers for input files are allocated dynamically and this type
   --  is used to reference these text buffers.

   procedure Free is new Unchecked_Deallocation (Text_Buffer, Text_Buffer_Ptr);
   --  Procedure for freeing dynamically allocated text buffers

   ------------------------------------------
   -- Types Used for Source Input Handling --
   ------------------------------------------

   type Logical_Line_Number is range 0 .. Int'Last;
   for Logical_Line_Number'Size use 32;
   --  Line number type, used for storing logical line numbers (i.e. line
   --  numbers that include effects of any Source_Reference pragmas in the
   --  source file). The value zero indicates a line containing a source
   --  reference pragma.

   No_Line_Number : constant Logical_Line_Number := 0;
   --  Special value used to indicate no line number

   type Physical_Line_Number is range 1 .. Int'Last;
   for Physical_Line_Number'Size use 32;
   --  Line number type, used for storing physical line numbers (i.e.
   --  line numbers in the physical file being compiled, unaffected by
   --  the presence of source reference pragmas.

   type Column_Number is range 0 .. 32767;
   for Column_Number'Size use 16;
   --  Column number (assume that 2**15 is large enough, see declaration
   --  of Hostparm.Max_Line_Length)

   No_Column_Number : constant Column_Number := 0;
   --  Special value used to indicate no column number

   subtype Source_Buffer is Text_Buffer;
   --  Type used to store text of a source file . The buffer for the main
   --  source (the source specified on the command line) has a lower bound
   --  starting at zero. Subsequent subsidiary sources have lower bounds
   --  which are one greater than the previous upper bound.

   subtype Big_Source_Buffer is Text_Buffer (0 .. Text_Ptr'Last);
   --  This is a virtual type used as the designated type of the access
   --  type Source_Buffer_Ptr, see Osint.Read_Source_File for details.

   type Source_Buffer_Ptr is access all Big_Source_Buffer;
   --  Pointer to source buffer. We use virtual origin addressing for
   --  source buffers, with thin pointers. The pointer points to a virtual
   --  instance of type Big_Source_Buffer, where the actual type is in fact
   --  of type Source_Buffer. The address is adjusted so that the virtual
   --  origin addressing works correctly. See Osint.Read_Source_Buffer for
   --  further details.

   subtype Source_Ptr is Text_Ptr;
   --  Type used to represent a source location, which is a subscript of a
   --  character in the source buffer. As noted above, diffferent source
   --  buffers have different ranges, so it is possible to tell from a
   --  Source_Ptr value which source it refers to. Note that negative numbers
   --  are allowed to accommodate the following special values.

   No_Location : constant Source_Ptr := -1;
   --  Value used to indicate no source position set in a node

   Standard_Location : constant Source_Ptr := -2;
   --  Used for all nodes in the representation of package Standard other
   --  than nodes representing the contents of Standard.ASCII. Note that
   --  testing for <= Standard_Location tests for both Standard_Location
   --  and for Standard_ASCII_Location.

   Standard_ASCII_Location : constant Source_Ptr := -3;
   --  Used for all nodes in the presentation of package Standard.ASCII

   First_Source_Ptr : constant Source_Ptr := 0;
   --  Starting source pointer index value for first source program

   -------------------------------------
   -- Range Definitions for Tree Data --
   -------------------------------------

   --  The tree has fields that can hold any of the following types:

   --    Pointers to other tree nodes (type Node_Id)
   --    List pointers (type List_Id)
   --    Element list pointers (type Elist_Id)
   --    Names (type Name_Id)
   --    Strings (type String_Id)
   --    Universal integers (type Uint)
   --    Universal reals (type Ureal)
   --    Character codes (type Char_Code stored with a bias)

   --  In most contexts, the strongly typed interface determines which of
   --  these types is present. However, there are some situations (involving
   --  untyped traversals of the tree), where it is convenient to be easily
   --  able to distinguish these values. The underlying representation in all
   --  cases is an integer type Union_Id, and we ensure that the range of
   --  the various possible values for each of the above types is disjoint
   --  so that this distinction is possible.

   type Union_Id is new Int;
   --  The type in the tree for a union of possible ID values

   --  Note: it is also helpful for debugging purposes to make these ranges
   --  distinct. If a bug leads to misidentification of a value, then it will

   --  Maximum List_Id subscript value. This allows up to 100 million list
   --  Id values, which is in practice infinite, and there is no need to
   --  check the range. The range overlaps the node range by one element
   --  (with value zero), which is used both for the Empty node, and for
   --  indicating no list. The fact that the same value is used is convenient
   --  because it means that the default value of Empty applies to both nodes
   --  and lists, and also is more efficient to test for.

   Node_Low_Bound : constant := 0;
   --  The tree Id values start at zero, because we use zero for Empty (to

   Elmt_Low_Bound : constant := 200_000_000;
   --  Low bound of element Id values. The use of these values is internal to

   Elmt_High_Bound : constant := 299_999_999;
   --  Upper bound of Elmt_Id values. This allows up to 100 million element

   Char_Code_Bias : constant := 2_100_000_000;
   --  A bias value added to character code values stored in the tree which
   --  ensures that they have different values from any of the above types.

   --  The following subtype definitions are used to provide convenient names

   -- Character Code Type --
   -------------------------

   --  The type Char is used for character data internally in the compiler,

   --  of the 2**16 possible Wide_Character codes, and a unique integer value
   --  is assigned, corresponding to the POS value in the Wide_Character type.
   --  String literals are similarly interpreted as a sequence of such codes.

   --  Note: when character code values are stored in the tree, they are stored
   --  by adding a bias value (Char_Code_Bias) that results in values that can

   type Unit_Number_Type is new Int;
   --  Unit number. The main source is unit 0, and subsidiary sources have
   --  non-zero numbers starting with 1. Unit numbers are used to index the
   --  file table in Lib.

   Main_Unit : constant Unit_Number_Type := 0;
   --  Unit number value for main unit

   No_Unit : constant Unit_Number_Type := -1;
   --  Special value used to signal no unit

   type Source_File_Index is new Nat;
   --  Type used to index the source file table (see package Sinput)

   No_Source_File : constant Source_File_Index := 0;
   --  Value used to indicate no source file present

   System_Source_File_Index : constant Source_File_Index := 1;
   --  Value used for source file table entry for system.ads, which is
   --  always the first source file read (see unit Targparm for details).

   subtype File_Name_Type is Name_Id;
   --  File names are stored in the names table and this synonym is used to
   --  indicate that a Name_Id value is being used to hold a simple file
   --  name (which does not include any directory information).

   --  indicate that a Name_Id value is being used to hold a unit name.

   -----------------------------------
   -- Representation of Time Stamps --
   -----------------------------------

   --  All compiled units are marked with a time stamp which is derived from
   --  the source file (we assume that the host system has the concept of a
   --  file time stamp which is modified when a file is modified). These
   --  time stamps are used to ensure consistency of the set of units that
   --  constitutes a library. Time stamps are 12 character strings with
   --  with the following format:

   --     YYYYMMDDHHMMSS

   --       YYYY   year
   --       MM     month (2 digits 01-12)
   --       DD     day (2 digits 01-31)
   --       HH     hour (2 digits 00-23)
   --       MM     minutes (2 digits 00-59)
   --       SS     seconds (2 digits 00-59)

   --  In the case of Unix systems (and other systems which keep the time in
   --  GMT), the time stamp is the GMT time of the file, not the local time.
   --  This solves problems in using libraries across networks with clients
   --  spread across multiple time-zones.

   Time_Stamp_Length : constant := 14;
   --  Length of time stamp value

   subtype Time_Stamp_Index is Natural range 1 .. Time_Stamp_Length;
   type Time_Stamp_Type is new String (Time_Stamp_Index);
   --  Type used to represent time stamp

   Empty_Time_Stamp : constant Time_Stamp_Type := (others => ' ');
   --  Type used to represent an empty or missing time stamp. Looks less
   --  than any real time stamp if two time stamps are compared. Note that
   --  although this is not a private type, clients should not rely on the
   --  exact way in which this string is represented, and instead should
   --  use the subprograms below.

   Dummy_Time_Stamp : constant Time_Stamp_Type := (others => '0');
   --  This is used for dummy time stamp values used in the D lines for
   --  non-existant files, and is intended to be an impossible value.

   function "="  (Left, Right : Time_Stamp_Type) return Boolean;
   function "<=" (Left, Right : Time_Stamp_Type) return Boolean;
   function ">=" (Left, Right : Time_Stamp_Type) return Boolean;
   function "<"  (Left, Right : Time_Stamp_Type) return Boolean;
   function ">"  (Left, Right : Time_Stamp_Type) return Boolean;
   --  Comparison functions on time stamps. Note that two time stamps
   --  are defined as being equal if they have the same day/month/year
   --  and the hour/minutes/seconds values are within 2 seconds of one
   --  another. This deals with rounding effects in library file time
   --  stamps caused by copying operations during installation. We have
   --  particularly noticed that WinNT seems susceptible to such changes.
   --  Note: the Empty_Time_Stamp value looks equal to itself, and less
   --  than any non-empty time stamp value.

   procedure Split_Time_Stamp
     (TS      : Time_Stamp_Type;
      Year    : out Nat;

   -- Types used for Pragma Suppress Management --
   -----------------------------------------------

   --  The following record contains an entry for each recognized check name
   --  for pragma Suppress. It is used to represent current settings of scope
   --  based suppress actions from pragma Suppress or command line settings.

   type Suppress_Record is record
      Access_Checks        : Boolean;
      Accessibility_Checks : Boolean;
      Discriminant_Checks  : Boolean;

   end record;

   --  To add a new check type to GNAT, the following steps are required:

   --    1.  Add an appropriate entry to the above record type
   --    2.  Add an entry to Snames spec and body for the new name
   --    3.  Add an entry to the definition of Check_Id in the Snames spec
   --    4.  Add a new entity flag definition in Einfo for the check
   --    5.  Add a new function to Sem.Util to handle the new check test
   --    6.  Add appropriate processing for pragma Suppress in Sem.Prag
   --    7.  Add a branch to the case statement in Sem.Ch8.Pop_Scope
   --    8.  Add a new Do_xxx_Check flag to Sinfo (if required)
   --    9.  Add appropriate checks for the new test

   -----------------------------------
   -- Global Exception Declarations --
   -----------------------------------

   --  This section contains declarations of exceptions that are used
   --  throughout the compiler.

   Unrecoverable_Error : exception;
   --  This exception is raised to immediately terminate the compilation
   --  of the current source program. Used in situations where things are
   --  bad enough that it doesn't seem worth continuing (e.g. max errors
   --  reached, or a required file is not found). Also raised when the
   --  compiler finds itself in trouble after an error (see Comperr).

   ---------------------------------
   -- Parameter Mechanism Control --
   ---------------------------------

   --  Function and parameter entities have a field that records the
   --  passing mechanism. See specification of Sem_Mech for full details.
   --  The following subtype is used to represent values of this type:

   subtype Mechanism_Type is Int range -10 .. Int'Last;
   --  Type used to represent a mechanism value. This is a subtype rather
   --  than a type to avoid some annoying processing problems with certain
   --  routines in Einfo (processing them to create the corresponding C).

   ------------------------------
   -- Run-Time Exception Codes --
   ------------------------------

   --  When the code generator generates a run-time exception, it provides
   --  a reason code which is one of the following. This reason code is used
   --  to select the appropriate run-time routine to be called, determining
   --  both the exception to be raised, and the message text to be added.

   --  The prefix CE/PE/SE indicates the exception to be raised
   --    CE = Constraint_Error
   --    PE = Program_Error
   --    SE = Storage_Error

   --  The remaining part of the name indicates the message text to be added,
   --  where all letters are lower case, and underscores are converted to
   --  spaces (for example CE_Invalid_Data adds the text "invalid data").

   --  To add a new code, you need to do the following:

   --    1. Modify the type and subtype declarations below appropriately,
   --       keeping things in alphabetical order.

   --    2. Modify the corresponding definitions in a-types.h, including
   --       the definition of last_reason_code.

   --    3. Add a new routine in Ada.Exceptions with the appropriate call
   --       and static string constant

   --    4. Initialize the new entry in raise_decls
