34 function Checks_Off (N : Node_Id) return Node_Id;

36 -- Returns an N_Unchecked_Expression node whose expression is the given
37 -- argument. The results is a subexpression identical to the argument,
38 -- except that it will be analyzed and resolved with checks off.
40 function Convert_To (Typ : Entity_Id; Expr : Node_Id) return Node_Id;
41 -- Returns an expression that represents the result of a checked convert
42 -- of expression Exp to type T. If the base type of Exp is T, then no
43 -- conversion is required, and Exp is returned unchanged. Otherwise an
44 -- N_Type_Conversion node is constructed to convert the expression.
45 -- If an N_Type_Conversion node is required, Relocate_Node is used on
46 -- Exp. This means that it is safe to replace a node by a Convert_To
47 -- of itself to some other type.
49 procedure Discard_Node (N : Node_Or_Entity_Id);
50 pragma Inline (Discard_Node);
51 -- This is a dummy procedure that simply returns and does nothing.
52 -- It is used when a function returning a Node_Id value is called

54 -- but the Node_Id value is not required.
56 procedure Discard_List (L : List_Id);
57 pragma Inline (Discard_List);
58 -- This is a dummy procedure that simply returns and does nothing.
59 -- It is used when a function returning a Node_Id value is called
60 -- for its side effect (e.g. a call to the pareser to parse a list
61 -- of compilation units), but the List_Id value is not required.

197 -- identifier encoding, see Namet), and T is reserved for use by implicit
198 -- types. and X is reserved for use by debug type encoding (see package
199 -- Exp_Dbug). Note: the reason that Prefix is last is that it is almost
200 -- always omitted. The notable case of Prefix being non-null is when
201 -- it is 'T' for an implicit type.
203 -- Suffix_Index'Image is appended only if the value of Suffix_Index is
204 -- positive, or if Suffix_Index is negative 1, then a unique serialized

211 -- case letter given as the Suffix argument ensures that the name does
212 -- not clash with any Ada identifier name. These generated names are
