36 package Types is
37 pragma Preelaborate (Types);
39 -- This package contains host independent type definitions which are used
40 -- in more than one unit in the compiler. They are gathered here for easy
41 -- reference, though in some cases the full description is found in the
42 -- relevant module which implements the definition. The main reason that
43 -- they are not in their "natural" specs is that this would cause a lot of
44 -- inter-spec dependencies, and in particular some awkward circular
45 -- dependencies would have to be dealt with.
47 -- WARNING: There is a C version of this package. Any changes to this
48 -- source file must be properly reflected in the C header file a-types.h
50 -- Note: the declarations in this package reflect an expectation that the
51 -- host machine has an efficient integer base type with a range at least
52 -- 32 bits 2s-complement. If there are any machines for which this is not
53 -- a correct assumption, a significant number of changes will be required!

89 -- We use Standard.Character and Standard.String freely, since we are

96 -- from DOS (OS/2, NT etc) to signal the end of a text file. Internally
97 -- all source files are ended by an EOF character, even on Unix systems.
98 -- An EOF character acts as the end of file only as the last character
99 -- of a source buffer, in any other position, it is treated as a blank
100 -- if it appears between tokens, and as an illegal character otherwise.
101 -- This makes life easier dealing with files that originated from DOS,
102 -- including concatenated files with interspersed EOF characters.

605 -- Representation of Time Stamps --
606 -----------------------------------
608 -- All compiled units are marked with a time stamp which is derived from
609 -- the source file (we assume that the host system has the concept of a
610 -- file time stamp which is modified when a file is modified). These
611 -- time stamps are used to ensure consistency of the set of units that
612 -- constitutes a library. Time stamps are 12 character strings with
613 -- with the following format:
615 -- YYYYMMDDHHMMSS
617 -- YYYY year
618 -- MM month (2 digits 01-12)
619 -- DD day (2 digits 01-31)
620 -- HH hour (2 digits 00-23)
621 -- MM minutes (2 digits 00-59)
622 -- SS seconds (2 digits 00-59)
624 -- In the case of Unix systems (and other systems which keep the time in
625 -- GMT), the time stamp is the GMT time of the file, not the local time.
626 -- This solves problems in using libraries across networks with clients
627 -- spread across multiple time-zones.
629 Time_Stamp_Length : constant := 14;
630 -- Length of time stamp value
632 subtype Time_Stamp_Index is Natural range 1 .. Time_Stamp_Length;
633 type Time_Stamp_Type is new String (Time_Stamp_Index);
634 -- Type used to represent time stamp
636 Empty_Time_Stamp : constant Time_Stamp_Type := (others => ' ');
637 -- Type used to represent an empty or missing time stamp. Looks less
638 -- than any real time stamp if two time stamps are compared. Note that
639 -- although this is not a private type, clients should not rely on the
640 -- exact way in which this string is represented, and instead should
641 -- use the subprograms below.
643 Dummy_Time_Stamp : constant Time_Stamp_Type := (others => '0');
644 -- This is used for dummy time stamp values used in the D lines for
645 -- non-existant files, and is intended to be an impossible value.
647 function "=" (Left, Right : Time_Stamp_Type) return Boolean;
648 function "<=" (Left, Right : Time_Stamp_Type) return Boolean;
649 function ">=" (Left, Right : Time_Stamp_Type) return Boolean;
650 function "<" (Left, Right : Time_Stamp_Type) return Boolean;
651 function ">" (Left, Right : Time_Stamp_Type) return Boolean;
652 -- Comparison functions on time stamps. Note that two time stamps
653 -- are defined as being equal if they have the same day/month/year
654 -- and the hour/minutes/seconds values are within 2 seconds of one
655 -- another. This deals with rounding effects in library file time
656 -- stamps caused by copying operations during installation. We have
657 -- particularly noticed that WinNT seems susceptible to such changes.

659 -- than any non-empty time stamp value.
