36 pragma Elaborate_Body;
37 -- This is to make sure Null_String_Id is properly initialized
39 -- This package contains routines for handling the strings table which is
40 -- used to store string constants encountered in the source, and also those
41 -- additional string constants generated by compile time concatenation and
42 -- other similar processing.
44 -- A string constant in this table consists of a series of Char_Code values,
45 -- so that 16-bit character codes can be properly handled if this feature
46 -- is implemented in the scanner.
48 -- There is no guarantee that hashing is used in the implementation, although
49 -- it maybe. This means that the caller cannot count on having the same Id
50 -- value for two identical strings stored separately and also cannot count on
51 -- the two Id values being different.
