84 -- The flag Body_Optional indicates that the call is for an instance
85 -- that precedes the current instance in the same declarative part.
86 -- This call is needed when instantiating a nested generic whose body
87 -- is to be found in the body of an instance. Normally we instantiate
88 -- package bodies only when they appear in the main unit, or when their
89 -- contents are needed for a nested generic G. If unit U contains several
90 -- instances I1, I2, etc. and I2 contains a nested generic, then when U
91 -- appears in the context of some other unit P that contains an instance
92 -- of G, we compile the body of I2, but not that of I1. However, when we
93 -- compile U as the main unit, we compile both bodies. This will lead to
94 -- lead to link-time errors if the compilation of I1 generates public
95 -- symbols, because those in I2 will receive different names in both
96 -- cases. This forces us to analyze the body of I1 even when U is not the
97 -- main unit. We don't want this additional mechanism to generate an error
98 -- when the body of the generic for I1 is not present, and this is the
99 -- reason for the presence of the flag Body_Optional, which is exchanged
100 -- between the current procedure and Load_Parent_Of_Generic.

111 -- entities that are defined outside of the generic in the analyzed
112 -- tree for the template. These references are copied into the original
113 -- tree, so that they appear automatically in every instantiation.
114 -- A critical invariant in this approach is that if an id in the generic
115 -- resolves to a local entity, the corresponding id in the instance
116 -- will resolve to the homologous entity in the instance, even though
117 -- the enclosing context for resolution is different, as long as the
118 -- global references have been captured as described here.
120 -- Because instantiations can be nested, the environment of the instance,
121 -- involving the actuals and other data-structures, must be saved and
122 -- restored in stack-like fashion. Front-end inlining also uses these
123 -- structures for the management of private/full views.
125 procedure Set_Copied_Sloc_For_Inlined_Body (N : Node_Id; E : Entity_Id);
126 -- This procedure is used when a subprogram body is inlined. This process
127 -- shares the same circuitry as the creation of an instantiated copy of
128 -- a generic template. The call to this procedure establishes a new source
129 -- file entry representing the inlined body as an instantiation, marked as
130 -- an inlined body (so that errout can distinguish cases for generating
131 -- error messages, otherwise the treatment is identical). In this call
132 -- N is the subprogram body and E is the defining identifier of the
133 -- subprogram in question. The resulting Sloc adjustment factor is
134 -- saved as part of the internal state of the Sem_Ch12 package for use
135 -- in subsequent calls to copy nodes.

151 -- view has changed, then at the point of instantiation we restore the
152 -- correct view to perform semantic analysis of the instance, and reset
153 -- the current view after instantiation. The processing is driven by the
154 -- current private status of the type of the node, and Has_Private_View,
155 -- a flag that is set at the point of generic compilation. If view and
156 -- flag are inconsistent then the type is updated appropriately.
