33 -- Handling of Renamed Units --
34 -------------------------------
36 -- A compilation unit can be a renaming of another compilation unit.
37 -- Such renamed units are not allowed as parent units, that is you
38 -- cannot declare a unit:
40 -- with x;
41 -- package x.y is end;
43 -- where x is a renaming of some other package. However you can refer
44 -- to a renamed unit in a with clause:
46 -- package p is end;
48 -- package p.q is end;
50 -- with p;
51 -- package pr renames p;
53 -- with pr.q ....
55 -- This means that in the context of a with clause, the normal fixed
56 -- correspondence between unit and file names is broken. In the above
57 -- example, there is no file named pr-q.ads, since the actual child
58 -- unit is p.q, and it will be found in file p-q.ads.
60 -- In order to deal with this case, we have to first load pr.ads, and
61 -- then discover that it is a renaming of p, so that we know that pr.q
62 -- really refers to p.q. Furthermore this can happen at any level:
64 -- with p.q;
65 -- package p.r renames p.q;
67 -- with p.q;
68 -- package p.q.s is end;
70 -- with p.r.s ...
72 -- Now we have a case where the parent p.r is a child unit and is
73 -- a renaming. This shows that renaming can occur at any level.
75 -- Finally, consider:
77 -- with pr.q.s ...
79 -- Here the parent pr.q is not itself a renaming, but it really refers
80 -- to the unit p.q, and again we cannot know this without loading the
81 -- parent. The bottom line here is that while the file name of a unit
82 -- always corresponds to the unit name, the unit name as given to the
83 -- Load_Unit function may not be the real unit.

86 -- Subprograms --
87 -----------------
89 procedure Initialize;
90 -- Initialize internal tables
92 procedure Initialize_Version (U : Unit_Number_Type);
93 -- This is called once the source file corresponding to unit U has been
94 -- fully scanned. At that point the checksum is computed, and can be used
95 -- to initialize the version number.
97 procedure Load_Main_Source;
98 -- Called at the start of compiling a new main source unit to initialize
99 -- the library processing for the new main source. Establishes and
100 -- initializes the units table entry for the new main unit (leaving
101 -- the Unit_File_Name entry of Main_Unit set to No_File if there are no
102 -- more files. Otherwise the main source file has been opened and read
103 -- and then closed on return.
105 function Load_Unit
106 (Load_Name : Unit_Name_Type;
107 Required : Boolean;
108 Error_Node : Node_Id;
109 Subunit : Boolean;
110 Corr_Body : Unit_Number_Type := No_Unit;
111 Renamings : Boolean := False;
112 With_Node : Node_Id := Empty) return Unit_Number_Type;
113 -- This function loads and parses the unit specified by Load_Name (or
114 -- returns the unit number for the previously constructed units table
115 -- entry if this is not the first call for this unit). Required indicates
116 -- the behavior on a file not found condition, as further described below,
117 -- and Error_Node is the node in the calling program to which error
118 -- messages are to be attached.
120 -- If the corresponding file is found, the value returned by Load is the
121 -- unit number that indexes the corresponding entry in the units table. If
122 -- a serious enough parser error occurs to prevent subsequent semantic
123 -- analysis, then the Fatal_Error flag of the returned entry is set and
124 -- in addition, the fatal error flag of the calling unit is also set.
126 -- If the corresponding file is not found, then the behavior depends on
127 -- the setting of Required. If Required is False, then No_Unit is returned
128 -- and no error messages are issued. If Required is True, then an error
129 -- message is posted, and No_Unit is returned.
131 -- A special case arises in the call from Rtsfind, where Error_Node is set
132 -- to Empty. In this case Required is False, and the caller in any case
133 -- treats any error as fatal.
135 -- The Subunit parameter is True to load a subunit, and False to load
136 -- any other kind of unit (including all specs, package bodies, and
137 -- subprogram bodies).
139 -- The Corr_Body argument is normally defaulted. It is set only in the
140 -- case of loading the corresponding spec when the main unit is a body.
141 -- In this case, Corr_Body is the unit number of this corresponding
142 -- body. This is used to set the Serial_Ref_Unit field of the unit
143 -- table entry. It is also used to deal with the special processing
144 -- required by RM 10.1.4(4). See description in lib.ads.
146 -- Renamings activates the handling of renamed units as separately
147 -- described in the documentation of this unit. If this parameter is
148 -- set to True, then Load_Name may not be the real unit name and it
149 -- is necessary to load parents to find the real name.
151 -- From_Limited_With is True if we are loading a unit X found in a
152 -- limited-with clause, or some unit in the context of X. It is used to
153 -- avoid the check on circular dependency (Ada 2005, AI-50217)
155 procedure Change_Main_Unit_To_Spec;
156 -- This procedure is called if the main unit file contains a No_Body pragma
157 -- and no other tokens. The effect is, if possible, to change the main unit
158 -- from the body it references now, to the corresponding spec. This has the
159 -- effect of ignoring the body, which is what we want. If it is impossible
160 -- to successfully make the change, then the call has no effect, and the
161 -- file is unchanged (this will lead to an error complaining about the
162 -- inappropriate No_Body spec).
164 function Create_Dummy_Package_Unit
165 (With_Node : Node_Id;
166 Spec_Name : Unit_Name_Type) return Unit_Number_Type;
167 -- With_Node is the Node_Id of a with statement for which the file could
168 -- not be found, and Spec_Name is the corresponding unit name. This call
169 -- creates a dummy package unit so that compilation can continue without
170 -- blowing up when the missing unit is referenced.
172 procedure Make_Instance_Unit (N : Node_Id);
173 -- When a compilation unit is an instantiation, it contains both the
174 -- declaration and the body of the instance, each of which can have its
175 -- own elaboration routine. The file itself corresponds to the declaration.
176 -- We create an additional entry for the body, so that the binder can
177 -- generate the proper elaboration calls to both. The argument N is the
178 -- compilation unit node created for the body.
180 procedure Version_Update (U : Node_Id; From : Node_Id);
181 -- This routine is called when unit U is found to be semantically
182 -- dependent on unit From. It updates the version of U to register
183 -- dependence on the version of From. The arguments are compilation
184 -- unit nodes for the relevant library nodes.
