  27 --  This package contains the routine called when a fatal internal compiler
  28 --  error is detected. Calls to this routines cause termination of the
  29 --  current compilation with appropriate error output.

  31 package Comperr is
  32
  33    procedure Compiler_Abort
  34      (X    : String;
  35       Code : Integer := 0);
  36    --  Signals an internal compiler error. Never returns control. Depending
  37    --  on processing may end up raising Unrecoverable_Error, or exiting
  38    --  directly. The message output is a "bug box" containing the
  39    --  string passed as an argument. The node in Current_Error_Node is used
  40    --  to provide the location where the error should be signalled. The
  41    --  message includes the node id, and the code parameter if it is positive.
  42    --  Note that this is only used at the outer level (to handle constraint
  43    --  errors or assert errors etc.) In the normal logic of the compiler we
  44    --  always use pragma Assert to check for errors, and if necessary an
  45    --  explicit abort is achieved by pragma Assert (False). Code is positive
  46    --  for a gigi abort (giving the gigi abort code), zero for a front
  47    --  end exception (with possible message stored in TSD.Current_Excep,
  48    --  and negative (an unused value) for a GCC abort.

  53
  54    --  When comperr generates the "bug box". The first two lines contain
  55    --  information on the version number, type of abort, and source location.
  56
  57    --  Normally the remaining text is of the following form:
  58
  59    --    Please submit a bug report; see http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html.
  60    --    Include the entire contents of this bug box in the report.
  61    --    Include the exact gcc or gnatmake command that you entered.
  62    --    Also include sources listed below in gnatchop format
  63    --    concatenated together with no headers between files.
  64
  65    --  However, an alternative mechanism exists for easily substituting
  66    --  different text for this message. Compiler_Abort checks for the
  67    --  existence of the file "gnat_bug.box" in the current source path.
  68    --  Most typically this file, if present, will be in the directory
  69    --  containing the run-time sources.
  70
  71    --  If this file is present, then it is a plain ASCII file, whose
  72    --  contents replace the above quoted paragraphs. The lines in this
  73    --  file should be 72 characters or less to avoid misformatting the
  74    --  right boundary of the box. Note that the file does not contain
  75    --  the vertical bar characters or any leading spaces in lines.
