28 -- coordinated with the switches that are recognized by this package.

30 -- switches that are recognized. In addition, package Debug documents
31 -- the otherwise undocumented debug switches that are also recognized.

38 -- Procedures to scan out binder switches stored in the given string.
39 -- The first character is known to be a valid switch character, and there
40 -- are no blanks or other switch terminator characters in the string, so
41 -- the entire string should consist of valid switch characters, except that
42 -- an optional terminating NUL character is allowed. A bad switch causes
43 -- a fatal error exit and control does not return. The call also sets
44 -- Usage_Requested to True if a ? switch is encountered.

50 -- Takes a compiler switch which potentially is equivalent to more
51 -- that one simple switches and returns the equivalent list of simple
52 -- switches that are stored in an ALI file. Switches will be extended
53 -- if initially null or too short. Last indicates the index in Switches
54 -- of the last simple switch. Last is equal to zero, if it has been
55 -- determined that Switch_Chars is ill-formed or does not contain any
56 -- switch that should be stored in an ALI file. Otherwise, the list of
57 -- simple switches is Switches (Switches'First .. Last).
59 -- Example: if Switch_Chars is equal to "-gnatAwue", then the list of
60 -- simple switches will have 3 components: -gnatA, -gnatwu, -gnatwe.
62 -- The String_Access components of Switches should not be deallocated:
63 -- they are shallow copies of components in a table in the body.

69 -- simple switches. It may be an empty array if it has been determined
70 -- that Switch_Chars is ill-formed or does not contain any switch that
71 -- should be stored in an ALI file. The String_Access components of the
72 -- returned value should not be deallocated.
