32 -- This package contains low level output routines used by the compiler
33 -- for writing error messages and informational output. It is also used
34 -- by the debug source file output routines (see Sprintf.Print_Eol).
36 with Hostparm; use Hostparm;
37 with Types; use Types;
39 package Output is
40 pragma Elaborate_Body;
42 type Output_Proc is access procedure (S : String);
43 -- This type is used for the Set_Special_Output procedure. If this
44 -- procedure is called, then instead of lines being written to
45 -- standard error or standard output, a call is made to the given
46 -- procedure for each line, passing the line with an end of line
47 -- character (which is a single ASCII.LF character, even in systems
48 -- which normally use CR/LF or some other sequence for line end).
50 -----------------
51 -- Subprograms --
52 -----------------
54 procedure Set_Special_Output (P : Output_Proc);
55 -- Sets subsequent output to call procedure P. If P is null, then
56 -- the call cancels the effect of a previous call, reverting the
57 -- output to standard error or standard output depending on the
58 -- mode at the time of previous call. Any exception generated by
59 -- by calls to P is simply propagated to the caller of the routine
60 -- causing the write operation.
62 procedure Cancel_Special_Output;
63 -- Cancels the effect of a call to Set_Special_Output, if any.
64 -- The output is then directed to standard error or standard output
65 -- depending on the last call to Set_Standard_Error or Set_Standard_Output.
66 -- It is never an error to call Cancel_Special_Output. It has the same
67 -- effect as calling Set_Special_Output (null).
69 procedure Ignore_Output (S : String);
70 -- Does nothing. To disable output, pass Ignore_Output'Access to
71 -- Set_Special_Output.
73 procedure Set_Standard_Error;
74 -- Sets subsequent output to appear on the standard error file (whatever
75 -- that might mean for the host operating system, if anything) when
76 -- no special output is in effect. When a special output is in effect,
77 -- the output will appear on standard error only after special output
78 -- has been cancelled.
80 procedure Set_Standard_Output;
81 -- Sets subsequent output to appear on the standard output file (whatever
82 -- that might mean for the host operating system, if anything) when
83 -- no special output is in effect. When a special output is in effect,
84 -- the output will appear on standard output only after special output
85 -- has been cancelled. Output to standard output is the default mode
86 -- before any call to either of the Set procedures.
88 procedure Indent;
89 -- Increases the current indentation level. Whenever a line is written
90 -- (triggered by Eol), an appropriate amount of whitespace is added to the
91 -- beginning of the line, wrapping around if it gets too long.
93 procedure Outdent;
94 -- Decreases the current indentation level
96 procedure Write_Char (C : Character);
97 -- Write one character to the standard output file. If the character is LF,
98 -- this is equivalent to Write_Eol.
100 procedure Write_Erase_Char (C : Character);
101 -- If last character in buffer matches C, erase it, otherwise no effect
103 procedure Write_Eol;
104 -- Write an end of line (whatever is required by the system in use,
105 -- e.g. CR/LF for DOS, or LF for Unix) to the standard output file.
106 -- This routine also empties the line buffer, actually writing it
107 -- to the file. Note that Write_Eol is the only routine that causes
108 -- any actual output to be written. Trailing spaces are removed.
110 procedure Write_Eol_Keep_Blanks;
111 -- Similar as Write_Eol, except that trailing spaces are not removed
113 procedure Write_Int (Val : Int);
114 -- Write an integer value with no leading blanks or zeroes. Negative
115 -- values are preceded by a minus sign).
117 procedure Write_Spaces (N : Nat);
118 -- Write N spaces
120 procedure Write_Str (S : String);
121 -- Write a string of characters to the standard output file. Note that
122 -- end of line is normally handled separately using WRITE_EOL, but it
123 -- is allowed for the string to contain LF (but not CR) characters,
124 -- which are properly interpreted as end of line characters. The string
125 -- may also contain horizontal tab characters.
127 procedure Write_Line (S : String);
128 -- Equivalent to Write_Str (S) followed by Write_Eol;
130 function Column return Pos;
131 pragma Inline (Column);
132 -- Returns the number of the column about to be written (e.g. a value
133 -- of 1 means the current line is empty).
135 -------------------------
136 -- Buffer Save/Restore --
137 -------------------------
139 -- This facility allows the current line buffer to be saved and restored
141 type Saved_Output_Buffer is private;
142 -- Type used for Save/Restore_Buffer
144 Buffer_Max : constant := Hostparm.Max_Line_Length;
145 -- Maximal size of a buffered output line
147 function Save_Output_Buffer return Saved_Output_Buffer;
148 -- Save current line buffer and reset line buffer to empty
150 procedure Restore_Output_Buffer (S : Saved_Output_Buffer);
151 -- Restore previously saved output buffer. The value in S is not affected
152 -- so it is legitimate to restore a buffer more than once.
154 --------------------------
155 -- Debugging Procedures --
156 --------------------------
158 -- The following procedures are intended only for debugging purposes,
159 -- for temporary insertion into the text in environments where a debugger
160 -- is not available. They all have non-standard very short lower case
161 -- names, precisely to make sure that they are only used for debugging!
163 procedure w (C : Character);
164 -- Dump quote, character, quote, followed by line return
166 procedure w (S : String);
167 -- Dump string followed by line return
169 procedure w (V : Int);
170 -- Dump integer followed by line return
172 procedure w (B : Boolean);
173 -- Dump Boolean followed by line return
175 procedure w (L : String; C : Character);
176 -- Dump contents of string followed by blank, quote, character, quote
178 procedure w (L : String; S : String);
179 -- Dump two strings separated by blanks, followed by line return
181 procedure w (L : String; V : Int);
182 -- Dump contents of string followed by blank, integer, line return
184 procedure w (L : String; B : Boolean);
185 -- Dump contents of string followed by blank, Boolean, line return
187 private

189 -- subprograms defined in this package, and cannot be directly modified or
190 -- accessed by a client.
192 Buffer : String (1 .. Buffer_Max + 1) := (others => '*');
193 for Buffer'Alignment use 4;
194 -- Buffer used to build output line. We do line buffering because it
195 -- is needed for the support of the debug-generated-code option (-gnatD).
196 -- Historically it was first added because on VMS, line buffering is
197 -- needed with certain file formats. So in any case line buffering must
198 -- be retained for this purpose, even if other reasons disappear. Note
199 -- any attempt to write more output to a line than can fit in the buffer
200 -- will be silently ignored. The alignment clause improves the efficiency
201 -- of the save/restore procedures.
