26 -- This package contains the routines to output error messages. They are

44 -- Id of current messages. Used to post file name when unit changes. This
45 -- is initialized to Main_Source_File at the start of a compilation, which
46 -- means that no file names will be output unless there are errors in

56 -- messages from higher semantic levels. It is a counter so that the

66 -- the purposes of implementing the pattern matching in pragmas Warnings
67 -- (Off,..) and Warning_As_Pragma(...) but do not result in adding the
68 -- error message tag. The -gnatw.d switch sets this flag True, -gnatw.D
69 -- sets this flag False.
71 -----------------------------------
72 -- Suppression of Error Messages --
73 -----------------------------------
75 -- In an effort to reduce the impact of redundant error messages, the
76 -- error output routines in this package normally suppress certain
77 -- classes of messages as follows:
79 -- 1. Identical messages placed at the same point in the text. Such
80 -- duplicate error message result for example from rescanning
81 -- sections of the text that contain lexical errors. Only one of
82 -- such a set of duplicate messages is output, and the rest are
83 -- suppressed.
85 -- 2. If more than one parser message is generated for a single source
86 -- line, then only the first message is output, the remaining
87 -- messages on the same line are suppressed.
89 -- 3. If a message is posted on a node for which a message has been
90 -- previously posted, then only the first message is retained. The
91 -- Error_Posted flag is used to detect such multiple postings. Note
92 -- that this only applies to semantic messages, since otherwise
93 -- for parser messages, this would be a special case of case 2.
95 -- 4. If a message is posted on a node whose Etype or Entity
96 -- fields reference entities on which an error message has
97 -- already been placed, as indicated by the Error_Posted flag
98 -- being set on these entities, then the message is suppressed.
100 -- 5. If a message attempts to insert an Error node, or a direct
101 -- reference to the Any_Type node, then the message is suppressed.
103 -- 6. Note that cases 2-5 only apply to error messages, not warning
104 -- messages. Warning messages are only suppressed for case 1, and
105 -- when they come from other than the main extended unit.
107 -- This normal suppression action may be overridden in cases 2-5 (but
108 -- not in case 1) by setting All_Errors mode, or by setting the special
109 -- unconditional message insertion character (!) as described below.
111 ---------------------------------------------------------
112 -- Error Message Text and Message Insertion Characters --
113 ---------------------------------------------------------
115 -- Error message text strings are composed of lower case letters, digits
116 -- and the special characters space, comma, period, colon and semicolon,
117 -- apostrophe and parentheses. Special insertion characters can also
118 -- appear which cause the error message circuit to modify the given
119 -- string as follows:
121 -- Insertion character % (Percent: insert name from Names table)
122 -- The character % is replaced by the text for the name specified by
123 -- the Name_Id value stored in Error_Msg_Name_1. A blank precedes the
124 -- name if it is preceded by a non-blank character other than left
125 -- parenthesis. The name is enclosed in quotes unless manual quotation
126 -- mode is set. If the Name_Id is set to No_Name, then no insertion
127 -- occurs; if the Name_Id is set to Error_Name, then the string
128 -- <error> is inserted. A second and third % may appear in a single
129 -- message, similarly replaced by the names which are specified by the
130 -- Name_Id values stored in Error_Msg_Name_2 and Error_Msg_Name_3. The
131 -- names are decoded and cased according to the current identifier
132 -- casing mode. Note: if a unit name ending with %b or %s is passed
133 -- for this kind of insertion, this suffix is simply stripped. Use a
134 -- unit name insertion ($) to process the suffix.
136 -- Insertion character %% (Double percent: insert literal name)
137 -- The character sequence %% acts as described above for %, except
138 -- that the name is simply obtained with Get_Name_String and is not
139 -- decoded or cased, it is inserted literally from the names table.
140 -- A trailing %b or %s is not treated specially.
142 -- Insertion character $ (Dollar: insert unit name from Names table)
143 -- The character $ is treated similarly to %, except that the name is
144 -- obtained from the Unit_Name_Type value in Error_Msg_Unit_1 and
145 -- Error_Msg_Unit_2, as provided by Get_Unit_Name_String in package
146 -- Uname. Note that this name includes the postfix (spec) or (body)
147 -- strings. If this postfix is not required, use the normal %
148 -- insertion for the unit name.
150 -- Insertion character { (Left brace: insert file name from names table)
151 -- The character { is treated similarly to %, except that the input
152 -- value is a File_Name_Type value stored in Error_Msg_File_1 or
153 -- Error_Msg_File_2 or Error_Msg_File_3. The value is output literally,
154 -- enclosed in quotes as for %, but the case is not modified, the
155 -- insertion is the exact string stored in the names table without
156 -- adjusting the casing.
158 -- Insertion character * (Asterisk, insert reserved word name)
159 -- The insertion character * is treated exactly like % except that the
160 -- resulting name is cased according to the default conventions for
161 -- reserved words (see package Scans).
163 -- Insertion character & (Ampersand: insert name from node)
164 -- The insertion character & is treated similarly to %, except that
165 -- the name is taken from the Chars field of the given node, and may
166 -- refer to a child unit name, or a selected component. The casing is,
167 -- if possible, taken from the original source reference, which is
168 -- obtained from the Sloc field of the given node or nodes. If no Sloc
169 -- is available (happens e.g. for nodes in package Standard), then the
170 -- default case (see Scans spec) is used. The nodes to be used are
171 -- stored in Error_Msg_Node_1, Error_Msg_Node_2. No insertion occurs
172 -- for the Empty node, and the Error node results in the insertion of
173 -- the characters <error>. In addition, if the special global variable
174 -- Error_Msg_Qual_Level is non-zero, then the reference will include
175 -- up to the given number of levels of qualification, using the scope
176 -- chain.
178 -- Insertion character # (Pound: insert line number reference)
179 -- The character # is replaced by the string indicating the source
180 -- position stored in Error_Msg_Sloc. There are three cases:
182 -- for package Standard: in package Standard
183 -- for locations in current file: at line nnn:ccc
184 -- for locations in other files: at filename:nnn:ccc
186 -- By convention, the # insertion character is only used at the end of
187 -- an error message, so the above strings only appear as the last
188 -- characters of an error message. The only exceptions to this rule
189 -- are that an RM reference may follow in the form (RM .....) and a
190 -- right parenthesis may immediately follow the #. In the case of
191 -- continued messages, # can only appear at the end of a group of
192 -- continuation messages, except that \\ messages which always start
193 -- a new line end the sequence from the point of view of this rule.
194 -- The idea is that for any use of -gnatj, it will still be the case
195 -- that a location reference appears only at the end of a line.
197 -- Note: the output of the string "at " is suppressed if the string
198 -- " from" or " from " immediately precedes the insertion character #.
199 -- Certain messages read better with from than at.
201 -- Insertion character } (Right brace: insert type reference)
202 -- The character } is replaced by a string describing the type
203 -- referenced by the entity whose Id is stored in Error_Msg_Node_1.
204 -- the string gives the name or description of the type, and also
205 -- where appropriate the location of its declaration. Special cases
206 -- like "some integer type" are handled appropriately. Only one } is
207 -- allowed in a message, since there is not enough room for two (the
208 -- insertion can be quite long, including a file name) In addition, if
209 -- the special global variable Error_Msg_Qual_Level is non-zero, then
210 -- the reference will include up to the given number of levels of
211 -- qualification, using the scope chain.
213 -- Insertion character @ (At: insert column number reference)
214 -- The character @ is replaced by null if the RM_Column_Check mode is
215 -- off (False). If the switch is on (True), then @ is replaced by the
216 -- text string " in column nnn" where nnn is the decimal
217 -- representation of the column number stored in Error_Msg_Col plus
218 -- one (the plus one is because the number is stored 0-origin and
219 -- displayed 1-origin).
221 -- Insertion character ^ (Caret: insert integer value)
222 -- The character ^ is replaced by the decimal conversion of the Uint
223 -- value stored in Error_Msg_Uint_1, with a possible leading minus.
224 -- A second ^ may occur in the message, in which case it is replaced
225 -- by the decimal conversion of the Uint value in Error_Msg_Uint_2.
227 -- Insertion character > (Greater Than, run time name)
228 -- The character > is replaced by a string of the form (name) if
229 -- Targparm scanned out a Run_Time_Name (see package Targparm for
230 -- details). The name is enclosed in parentheses and output in mixed
231 -- case mode (upper case after any space in the name). If no run time
232 -- name is defined, this insertion character has no effect.
234 -- Insertion character ! (Exclamation: unconditional message)
235 -- The character ! appearing anywhere in the text of a message makes
236 -- the message unconditional which means that it is output even if it
237 -- would normally be suppressed. See section above for a description
238 -- of the cases in which messages are normally suppressed. Note that
239 -- in the case of warnings, the meaning is that the warning should not
240 -- be removed in dead code (that's the only time that the use of !
241 -- has any effect for a warning).
243 -- Note: the presence of ! is ignored in continuation messages (i.e.
244 -- messages starting with the \ insertion character). The effect of the
245 -- use of ! in a parent message automatically applies to all of its
246 -- continuation messages (since we clearly don't want any case in which
247 -- continuations are separated from the main message). It is allowable
248 -- to put ! in continuation messages, and the usual style is to include
249 -- it, since it makes it clear that the continuation is part of an
250 -- unconditional message.
252 -- Insertion character !! (Double exclamation: unconditional warning)
253 -- Normally warning messages issued in other than the main unit are
254 -- suppressed. If the message contains !! then this suppression is
255 -- avoided. This is currently used by the Compile_Time_Warning pragma
256 -- to ensure the message for a with'ed unit is output, and for warnings
257 -- on ineffective back-end inlining, which is detected in units that
258 -- contain subprograms to be inlined in the main program. It is also
259 -- used by the Compiler_Unit_Warning pragma for similar reasons.
261 -- Insertion character ? (Question: warning message)
262 -- The character ? appearing anywhere in a message makes the message
263 -- warning instead of a normal error message, and the text of the
264 -- message will be preceded by "warning:" in the normal case. The
265 -- handling of warnings if further controlled by the Warning_Mode
266 -- option (-w switch), see package Opt for further details, and also by
267 -- the current setting from pragma Warnings. This pragma applies only
268 -- to warnings issued from the semantic phase (not the parser), but
269 -- currently all relevant warnings are posted by the semantic phase
270 -- anyway. Messages starting with (style) are also treated as warning
271 -- messages.
273 -- Note: when a warning message is output, the text of the message is
274 -- preceded by "warning: " in the normal case. An exception to this
275 -- rule occurs when the text of the message starts with "info: " in
276 -- which case this string is not prepended. This allows callers to
277 -- label certain warnings as informational messages, rather than as
278 -- warning messages requiring some action.
280 -- Note: the presence of ? is ignored in continuation messages (i.e.
281 -- messages starting with the \ insertion character). The warning
282 -- status of continuations is determined only by the parent message
283 -- which is being continued. It is allowable to put ? in continuation
284 -- messages, and the usual style is to include it, since it makes it
285 -- clear that the continuation is part of a warning message, but it is
286 -- not necessary to go through any computational effort to include it.
288 -- Note: this usage is obsolete, use ?? ?*? ?$? ?x? ?X? to specify
289 -- the string to be added when Warn_Doc_Switch is set to True. If this
290 -- switch is True, then for simple ? messages it has no effect. This
291 -- simple form is to ease transition and will be removed later.
293 -- Insertion character ?? (Two question marks: default warning)
294 -- Like ?, but if the flag Warn_Doc_Switch is True, adds the string
295 -- "[enabled by default]" at the end of the warning message. For
296 -- continuations, use this in each continuation message.
298 -- Insertion character ?x? (warning with switch)
299 -- Like ?, but if the flag Warn_Doc_Switch is True, adds the string
300 -- "[-gnatwx]" at the end of the warning message. x is a lower case
301 -- letter. For continuations, use this on each continuation message.
303 -- Insertion character ?X? (warning with dot switch)
304 -- Like ?, but if the flag Warn_Doc_Switch is True, adds the string
305 -- "[-gnatw.x]" at the end of the warning message. X is an upper case
306 -- letter corresponding to the lower case letter x in the message.
307 -- For continuations, use this on each continuation message.
309 -- Insertion character ?*? (restriction warning)
310 -- Like ?, but if the flag Warn_Doc_Switch is True, adds the string
311 -- "[restriction warning]" at the end of the warning message. For
312 -- continuations, use this on each continuation message.
314 -- Insertion character ?$? (elaboration information messages)
315 -- Like ?, but if the flag Warn_Doc_Switch is True, adds the string
316 -- "[-gnatel]" at the end of the info message. This is used for the
317 -- messages generated by the switch -gnatel. For continuations, use
318 -- this on each continuation message.
320 -- Insertion character < (Less Than: conditional warning message)
321 -- The character < appearing anywhere in a message is used for a
322 -- conditional error message. If Error_Msg_Warn is True, then the
323 -- effect is the same as ? described above, and in particular << <X<
324 -- <x< <$< <*< have the effect of ?? ?X? ?x? ?$? ?*? respectively. If
325 -- Error_Msg_Warn is False, then the < << or <X< sequence is ignored
326 -- and the message is treated as a error rather than a warning.
328 -- Insertion character A-Z (Upper case letter: Ada reserved word)
329 -- If two or more upper case letters appear in the message, they are
330 -- taken as an Ada reserved word, and are converted to the default
331 -- case for reserved words (see Scans package spec). Surrounding
332 -- quotes are added unless manual quotation mode is currently set.
333 -- RM and SPARK are special exceptions, they are never treated as
334 -- keywords, and just appear verbatim, with no surrounding quotes.
335 -- As a special case, 'R'M is used instead of RM (which is not treated
336 -- as a keyword) to indicate when the reference to the RM is possibly
337 -- not useful anymore, and could possibly be replaced by a comment
338 -- in the source.
340 -- Insertion character ` (Backquote: set manual quotation mode)
341 -- The backquote character always appears in pairs. Each backquote of
342 -- the pair is replaced by a double quote character. In addition, any
343 -- reserved keywords, or name insertions between these backquotes are
344 -- not surrounded by the usual automatic double quotes. See the
345 -- section below on manual quotation mode for further details.
347 -- Insertion character ' (Quote: literal character)
348 -- Precedes a character which is placed literally into the message.
349 -- Used to insert characters into messages that are one of the
350 -- insertion characters defined here. Also used for insertion of
351 -- upper case letter sequences not to be treated as keywords.
353 -- Insertion character \ (Backslash: continuation message)
354 -- Indicates that the message is a continuation of a message
355 -- previously posted. This is used to ensure that such groups of
356 -- messages are treated as a unit. The \ character must be the first
357 -- character of the message text.
359 -- Insertion character \\ (Two backslashes, continuation with new line)
360 -- This differs from \ only in -gnatjnn mode (Error_Message_Line_Length
361 -- set non-zero). This sequence forces a new line to start even when
362 -- continuations are being gathered into a single message.
364 -- Insertion character | (Vertical bar: non-serious error)
365 -- By default, error messages (other than warning messages) are
366 -- considered to be fatal error messages which prevent expansion or
367 -- generation of code in the presence of the -gnatQ switch. If the
368 -- insertion character | appears, the message is considered to be
369 -- non-serious, and does not cause Serious_Errors_Detected to be
370 -- incremented (so expansion is not prevented by such a msg). This
371 -- insertion character is ignored in continuation messages.
373 -- Insertion character ~ (Tilde: insert string)
374 -- Indicates that Error_Msg_String (1 .. Error_Msg_Strlen) is to be
375 -- inserted to replace the ~ character. The string is inserted in the
376 -- literal form it appears, without any action on special characters.
378 -- Insertion character [ (Left bracket: will/would be raised at run time)
379 -- This is used in messages about exceptions being raised at run-time.
380 -- If the current message is a warning message, then if the code is
381 -- executed, the exception will be raised, and [ inserts:
383 -- will be raised at run time
385 -- If the current message is an error message, then it is an error
386 -- because the exception would have been raised and [ inserts:
388 -- would have been raised at run time
390 -- Typically the message contains a < insertion which means that the
391 -- message is a warning or error depending on Error_Msg_Warn. This is
392 -- most typically used in the context of messages which are normally
393 -- warnings, but are errors in GNATprove mode, corresponding to the
394 -- permission in the definition of SPARK that allows an implementation
395 -- to reject a program as illegal if a situation arises in which the
396 -- compiler can determine that it is certain that a run-time check
397 -- would have fail if the statement was executed.
399 -- Insertion character ] (Right bracket: may/might be raised at run time)
400 -- This is like [ except that the insertion messages say may/might,
401 -- instead of will/would.
403 -- Insertion sequence "(style)" (style message)
404 -- This appears only at the start of the message (and not any of its
405 -- continuations, if any), and indicates that the message is a style
406 -- message. Style messages are also considered to be warnings, but
407 -- they do not get a tag.
409 -- Insertion sequence "info: " (information message)
410 -- This appears only at the start of the message (and not any of its
411 -- continuations, if any), and indicates that the message is an info
412 -- message. The message will be output with this prefix, and if there
413 -- are continuations that are not printed using the -gnatj switch they
414 -- will also have this prefix.
416 -----------------------------------------------------
417 -- Global Values Used for Error Message Insertions --
418 -----------------------------------------------------
420 -- The following global variables are essentially additional parameters
421 -- passed to the error message routine for insertion sequences described
422 -- above. The reason these are passed globally is that the insertion
423 -- mechanism is essentially an untyped one in which the appropriate
424 -- variables are set depending on the specific insertion characters used.
426 -- Note that is mandatory that the caller ensure that global variables
427 -- are set before the Error_Msg call, otherwise the result is undefined.

467 -- Setting is irrelevant if no < insertion character is present.
469 Error_Msg_String : String renames Err_Vars.Error_Msg_String;

471 -- Used if current message contains a ~ insertion character to indicate
472 -- insertion of the string Error_Msg_String (1 .. Error_Msg_Strlen).
474 -----------------------------------------------------
475 -- Format of Messages and Manual Quotation Control --
476 -----------------------------------------------------
478 -- Messages are generally all in lower case, except for inserted names
479 -- and appear in one of the following three forms:
481 -- error: text
482 -- warning: text
484 -- The prefixes error and warning are supplied automatically (depending
485 -- on the use of the ? insertion character), and the call to the error
486 -- message routine supplies the text. The "error: " prefix is omitted
487 -- in brief error message formats.
489 -- Reserved Ada keywords in the message are in the default keyword case
490 -- (determined from the given source program), surrounded by quotation
491 -- marks. This is achieved by spelling the reserved word in upper case
492 -- letters, which is recognized as a request for insertion of quotation
493 -- marks by the error text processor. Thus for example:
495 -- Error_Msg_AP ("IS expected");
497 -- would result in the output of one of the following:
499 -- error: "is" expected
500 -- error: "IS" expected
501 -- error: "Is" expected
503 -- the choice between these being made by looking at the casing convention
504 -- used for keywords (actually the first compilation unit keyword) in the
505 -- source file.
507 -- Note: a special exception is that RM is never treated as a keyword
508 -- but instead is copied literally into the message, this avoids the
509 -- need for writing 'R'M for all reference manual quotes. A similar
510 -- exception is applied to the occurrence of the string SPARK used in
511 -- error messages about the SPARK subset of Ada.
513 -- In the case of names, the default mode for the error text processor
514 -- is to surround the name by quotation marks automatically. The case
515 -- used for the identifier names is taken from the source program where
516 -- possible, and otherwise is the default casing convention taken from
517 -- the source file usage.
519 -- In some cases, better control over the placement of quote marks is
520 -- required. This is achieved using manual quotation mode. In this mode,
521 -- one or more insertion sequences is surrounded by backquote characters.
522 -- The backquote characters are output as double quote marks, and normal
523 -- automatic insertion of quotes is suppressed between the double quotes.
524 -- For example:
526 -- Error_Msg_AP ("`END &;` expected");
528 -- generates a message like
530 -- error: "end Open_Scope;" expected
532 -- where the node specifying the name Open_Scope has been stored in
533 -- Error_Msg_Node_1 prior to the call. The great majority of error
534 -- messages operates in normal quotation mode.
536 -- Note: the normal automatic insertion of spaces before insertion
537 -- sequences (such as those that come from & and %) is suppressed in
538 -- manual quotation mode, so blanks, if needed as in the above example,
539 -- must be explicitly present.

621 -----------------------
623 -- The GPS and GNATBench IDE's have a codefix facility that allows for

628 -- The text of such messages should not be altered without coordinating
