 103    --  the first occurrence. No warning is posted, instead warnings will be

 105    --  way is that if there are no assignments anywhere, we prefer to flag
 106    --  the entity, rather than a reference to it. Note that for the purposes
 107    --  of this routine, a type conversion or qualified expression whose
 108    --  expression is an entity is also processed. The reason that we do not

 116    --  referenced in a use or package renaming statement). Appropriate
 117    --  warning messages are generated if either of these situations is
 118    --  detected.
 119    --
 120    --  A special case arises when a package body or a subprogram body with
 121    --  a separate spec is being compiled. In this case, a with may appear
 122    --  on the spec, but be needed only by the body. This still generates
 123    --  a warning, but the text is different (the with is not redundant,
 124    --  it is misplaced).
 125    --
 126    --  This special case is implemented by making an initial call to this
 127    --  procedure with Spec_Unit set to the unit number of the separate spec.
 128    --  This call does not generate any warning messages, but instead may
 129    --  result in flags being set in the N_With_Clause node that record that
 130    --  there was no use in the spec.
 131    --
 132    --  The main call (made after all units have been analyzed, with Spec_Unit
 133    --  set to the default value of No_Unit) generates the required warnings
 134    --  using the flags set by the initial call where appropriate to specialize
 135    --  the text of the warning messages.
