26 -- This child package of Sinfo contains some routines that permit in place
27 -- alteration of existing tree nodes by changing the value in the Nkind
28 -- field. Since Nkind functions logically in a manner similar to a variant
29 -- record discriminant part, such alterations cannot be permitted in a
30 -- general manner, but in some specific cases, the fields of related nodes
31 -- have been deliberately laid out in a manner that permits such alteration.
35 procedure Change_Identifier_To_Defining_Identifier
(N
: in out Node_Id
);
36 -- N must refer to a node of type N_Identifier. This node is modified to
37 -- be of type N_Defining_Identifier. The scanner always returns identifiers
38 -- as N_Identifier. The parser then uses this routine to change the node
39 -- to be a defining identifier where the context demands it. This routine
40 -- also allocates the necessary extension node. Note that this procedure
41 -- may (but is not required to) change the Id of the node in question.
43 procedure Change_Character_Literal_To_Defining_Character_Literal
45 -- Similar processing for a character literal
47 procedure Change_Operator_Symbol_To_Defining_Operator_Symbol
49 -- Similar processing for an operator symbol
51 procedure Change_Conversion_To_Unchecked
(N
: Node_Id
);
52 -- Change checked conversion node to unchecked conversion node, clearing
53 -- irrelevant check flags (other fields in the two nodes are identical)
55 procedure Change_Operator_Symbol_To_String_Literal
(N
: Node_Id
);
56 -- The scanner returns any string that looks like an operator symbol as
57 -- a N_Operator_Symbol node. The parser then uses this procedure to change
58 -- the node to a normal N_String_Literal node if the context is not one
59 -- in which an operator symbol is required. There are some cases where the
60 -- parser cannot tell, in which case this transformation happens later on.
62 procedure Change_Selected_Component_To_Expanded_Name
(N
: Node_Id
);
63 -- The parser always generates Selected_Component nodes. The semantics
64 -- modifies these to Expanded_Name nodes where appropriate. Note that
65 -- on return the Chars field is set to a copy of the contents of the
66 -- Chars field of the Selector_Name field.
68 procedure Change_Name_To_Procedure_Call_Statement
(N
: Node_Id
);
69 -- Some statements (procedure call statements) are in the form of a name
70 -- and are parsed as such. This routine takes the scanned name as input
71 -- and returns the corresponding N_Procedure_Call_Statement.
