43 -- Returns an expression that represents the result of a checked convert
44 -- of expression Exp to type T. If the base type of Exp is T, then no
45 -- conversion is required, and Exp is returned unchanged. Otherwise an
46 -- N_Type_Conversion node is constructed to convert the expression.
47 -- If an N_Type_Conversion node is required, Relocate_Node is used on
48 -- Exp. This means that it is safe to replace a node by a Convert_To
49 -- of itself to some other type.

239 -- identifier encoding, see Namet), or an underscore, and T is reserved for
240 -- use by implicit types, and X is reserved for use by debug type encoding
241 -- (see package Exp_Dbug). Note: the reason that Prefix is last is that it

243 -- when it is 'T' for an implicit type.
245 -- Suffix_Index'Image is appended only if the value of Suffix_Index is
246 -- positive, or if Suffix_Index is negative 1, then a unique serialized

252 -- operation (i.e. it is properly hashed into the names table). The upper
253 -- case letter given as the Suffix argument ensures that the name does
254 -- not clash with any Ada identifier name. These generated names are
