31 pragma Elaborate_Body;
32 -- This is to make sure Null_String_Id is properly initialized
34 -- This package contains routines for handling the strings table which is
35 -- used to store string constants encountered in the source, and also those
36 -- additional string constants generated by compile time concatenation and
37 -- other similar processing.
39 -- WARNING: There is a C version of this package. Any changes to this
40 -- source file must be properly reflected in the C header file stringt.h
42 -- A string constant in this table consists of a series of Char_Code values,
43 -- so that 16-bit character codes can be properly handled if this feature
44 -- is implemented in the scanner.
46 -- There is no guarantee that hashing is used in the implementation, although
47 -- it may be. This means that the caller cannot count on having the same Id
48 -- value for two identical strings stored separately and also cannot count on
49 -- the two such Id values being different.
