35 -- Note: the following subprograms are used in a stack like manner, with
36 -- an exit call matching each entry call. This means that they can keep
37 -- track of the current node being worked on, with the entry call setting
38 -- a new value, by pushing the Node_Id value on a stack, and the exit call
39 -- popping this value off. Atree.Current_Error_Node is set by both the
40 -- entry and exit routines to point to the current node so that an abort
41 -- message indicates the node involved as accurately as possible.
43 procedure Debug_A_Entry (S : String; N : Node_Id);
44 pragma Inline (Debug_A_Entry);
45 -- Generates a message prefixed by a sequence of bars showing the nesting
46 -- depth (depth increases by 1 for a Debug_A_Entry call and is decreased
47 -- by the corresponding Debug_A_Exit call). Then the string is output
48 -- (analyzing, expanding etc), followed by the node number and its kind.
49 -- This output is generated only if the debug A flag is set. If the debug
50 -- A flag is not set, then no output is generated. This call also sets the
51 -- Node_Id value in Atree.Current_Error_Node in case a bomb occurs. This
52 -- is done unconditionally, whether or not the debug A flag is set.
54 procedure Debug_A_Exit (S : String; N : Node_Id; Comment : String);
55 pragma Inline (Debug_A_Exit);
56 -- Generates the corresponding termination message. The message is preceded
57 -- by a sequence of bars, followed by the string S, the node number, and
58 -- a trailing comment (e.g. " (already evaluated)"). This output is
59 -- generated only if the debug A flag is set. If the debug A flag is not
60 -- set, then no output is generated. This call also resets the value in
61 -- Atree.Current_Error_Node to what it was before the corresponding call
62 -- to Debug_A_Entry.
