217 -- Documentation for Compiler Debug Flags --
218 --------------------------------------------
220 -- da Generate messages tracking semantic analyzer progress. A message
221 -- is output showing each node as it gets analyzed, expanded,
222 -- resolved, or evaluated. This option is useful for finding out
223 -- exactly where a bomb during semantic analysis is occurring.
225 -- db In Exp_Dbug, certain type names are encoded to include debugging
226 -- information. This debug switch causes lines to be output showing
227 -- the encodings used.
229 -- dc List names of units as they are compiled. One line of output will
230 -- be generated at the start of compiling each unit (package or
231 -- subprogram).
233 -- dd Dynamic allocation of tables messages generated. Each time a
234 -- table is reallocated, a line is output indicating the expansion.
236 -- de List the entity table
238 -- df Full tree/source print (includes withed units). Normally the tree
239 -- output (dt) or recreated source output (dg,do,ds) includes only
240 -- the main unit. If df is set, then the output in either case
241 -- includes all compiled units (see also dg,do,ds,dt). Note that to
242 -- be effective, this swich must be used in combination with one or
243 -- more of dt, dg, do or ds.
245 -- dg Print the source recreated from the generated tree. In the case
246 -- where the tree has been rewritten this output includes only the
247 -- generated code, not the original code (see also df,do,ds,dz).
248 -- This flag differs from -gnatG in that the output also includes
249 -- non-source generated null statements, and freeze nodes, which
250 -- are normally omitted in -gnatG mode.
252 -- dh Generates a table at the end of a compilation showing how the hash
253 -- table chains built by the Namet package are loaded. This is useful
254 -- in ensuring that the hashing algorithm (in Namet.Hash) is working
255 -- effectively with typical sets of program identifiers.
257 -- di Generate messages for visibility linking/delinking
259 -- dj Suppress "junk null check" for access parameters. This flag permits
260 -- Ada programs to pass null parameters to access parameters, and to
261 -- explicitly check such access values against the null literal.
262 -- Neither of these is valid Ada, but both were allowed in versions of
263 -- GNAT before 3.10, so this switch can ease the transition process.
265 -- dk Immediate kill on abort. Normally on an abort (i.e. a call to
266 -- Comperr.Compiler_Abort), the GNATBUG message is not given if
267 -- there is a previous error. This debug switch bypasses this test
268 -- and gives the message unconditionally (useful for debugging).
270 -- dl Generate unit load trace messages. A line of traceback output is
271 -- generated each time a request is made to the library manager to
272 -- load a new unit.
274 -- dm Some features are permitted only in OpenVMS ports of GNAT (e.g.
275 -- the specification of passing by descriptor). Normally any use
276 -- of these features will be flagged as an error, but this debug
277 -- flag allows acceptance of these features in non OpenVMS ports.
278 -- Of course they may not have any useful effect, and in particular
279 -- attempting to generate code with this flag set may blow up.
280 -- The flag also forces the use of 64-bits for Long_Integer.
282 -- dn Generate messages for node/list allocation. Each time a node or
283 -- list header is allocated, a line of output is generated. Certain
284 -- other basic tree operations also cause a line of output to be
285 -- generated. This option is useful in seeing where the parser is
286 -- blowing up.
288 -- do Print the source recreated from the generated tree. In the case
289 -- where the tree has been rewritten, this output includes only the
290 -- original code, not the generated code (see also df,dg,ds,dz).
292 -- dp Generate messages for parser scope stack push/pops. A line of
293 -- output by the parser each time the parser scope stack is either
294 -- pushed or popped. Useful in debugging situations where the
295 -- parser scope stack ends up incorrectly synchronized
297 -- dq In layout version 1.38, 2002/01/12, a circuit was implemented
298 -- to give decent default alignment to short records that had no
299 -- specific alignment set. This debug option restores the previous
300 -- behavior of giving such records poor alignments, typically 1.
301 -- This may be useful in dealing with transition.
303 -- dr Generate parser resynchronization messages. Normally the parser
304 -- resynchronizes quietly. With this debug option, two messages
305 -- are generated, one when the parser starts a resynchronization
306 -- skip, and another when it resumes parsing. Useful in debugging
307 -- inadequate error recovery situations.
309 -- ds Print the source recreated from the generated tree. In the case
310 -- where the tree has been rewritten this output includes both the
311 -- generated code and the original code with the generated code
312 -- being enlosed in curly brackets (see also df,do,ds,dz)
314 -- dt Print full tree. The generated tree is output (see also df,dy)
316 -- du Uncheck categorization pragmas. This debug switch causes the
317 -- categorization pragmas (Pure, Preelaborate etc) to be ignored
318 -- so that normal checks are not made (this is particularly useful
319 -- for adding temporary debugging code to units that have pragmas
320 -- that are inconsistent with the debugging code added.
322 -- dv Output trace of overload resolution. Outputs messages for
323 -- overload attempts that involve cascaded errors, or where
324 -- an interepretation is incompatible with the context.
326 -- dw Write semantic scope stack messages. Each time a scope is created
327 -- or removed, a message is output (see the Sem_Ch8.Push_Scope and
328 -- Sem_Ch8.Pop_Scope subprograms).
330 -- dx Force expansion on, even if no code being generated. Normally the
331 -- expander is inhibited if no code is generated. This switch forces
332 -- expansion to proceed normally even if the backend is not being
333 -- called. This is particularly useful for debugging purposes when
334 -- using the front-end only version of the compiler (which normally
335 -- would never do any expansion).
337 -- dy Print tree of package Standard. Normally the tree print out does
338 -- not include package Standard, even if the -df switch is set. This
339 -- switch forces output of the internal tree built for Standard.
341 -- dz Print source of package Standard. Normally the source print out
342 -- does not include package Standard, even if the -df switch is set.
343 -- This switch forces output of the source recreated from the internal
344 -- tree built for Standard. Note that this differs from -gnatS in
345 -- that it prints from the actual tree using the normal Sprint
346 -- circuitry for printing trees.
348 -- dA Forces output of representation information, including full
349 -- information for all internal type and object entities, as well
350 -- as all user defined type and object entities including private
351 -- and incomplete types. This debug switch also automatically sets
352 -- the equivalent of -gnatR3m.
354 -- dB Output debug encodings for types and variants. See Exp_Dbug for
355 -- exact form of the generated output.
357 -- dC Output trace information showing the decisions made during
358 -- check suppression activity in unit Checks.
360 -- dD Delete new elaboration checks. This flag causes GNAT to return
361 -- to the 3.13a elaboration semantics, and to suppress the fixing
362 -- of two bugs. The first is in the context of inner routines in
363 -- dynamic elaboration mode, when the subprogram we are in was
364 -- called at elaboration time by a unit that was also compiled with
365 -- dynamic elaboration checks. In this case, if A calls B calls C,
366 -- and all are in different units, we need an elaboration check at
367 -- each call. These nested checks were only put in recently (see
368 -- version 1.80 of Sem_Elab) and we provide this debug flag to
369 -- revert to the previous behavior in case of regressions. The
370 -- other behavior reverted by this flag is the treatment of the
371 -- Elaborate_Body pragma in static elaboration mode. This used to
372 -- be treated as not needing elaboration checking, but in fact in
373 -- general Elaborate_All is still required because of nested calls.
375 -- dE Apply compile time elaboration checking for with relations between
376 -- predefined units. Normally no checks are made (it seems that at
377 -- least on the SGI, such checks run into trouble).
379 -- dF Front end data layout enabled. Normally front end data layout
380 -- is only enabled if the target parameter Backend_Layout is False.
381 -- This debugging switch enables it unconditionally.
383 -- dG Generate all warnings. Normally Errout suppresses warnings on
384 -- units that are not part of the main extended source, and also
385 -- suppresses warnings on instantiations in the main extended
386 -- source that duplicate warnings already posted on the template.
387 -- This switch stops both kinds of deletion and causes Errout to
388 -- post all warnings sent to it.
390 -- dH Inhibit call to gigi. This is useful for testing front end data
391 -- layout, and may be useful in other debugging situations where
392 -- you do not want gigi to intefere with the testing.
394 -- dI Inhibit internal name numbering in gnatDG listing. Any sequence of
395 -- the form <uppercase-letter><digits><lowercase-letter> appearing in
396 -- a name is replaced by <uppercase-letter>...<lowercase-letter>. This
397 -- is used in the fixed bugs run to minimize system and version
398 -- dependency in filed -gnatD or -gnatG output.
400 -- dJ Generate debugging trace output for the JGNAT back end. This
401 -- consists of symbolic Java Byte Code sequences for all generated
402 -- classes plus additional information to indicate local variables
403 -- and methods.
405 -- dK Kill all error messages. This debug flag suppresses the output
406 -- of all error messages. It is used in regression tests where the
407 -- error messages are target dependent and irrelevant.
409 -- dL Output trace information on elaboration checking. This debug
410 -- switch causes output to be generated showing each call or
411 -- instantiation as it is checked, and the progress of the recursive
412 -- trace through calls at elaboration time.
414 -- dM Assume all variables have been modified, and ignore current value
415 -- indications. This debug flag disconnects the tracking of constant
416 -- values (see Exp_Ch2.Expand_Current_Value).
418 -- dN Do not generate file name information in exception messages
420 -- dO Output immediate error messages. This causes error messages to
421 -- be output as soon as they are generated (disconnecting several
422 -- circuits for improvement of messages, deletion of duplicate
423 -- messages etc). Useful to diagnose compiler bombs caused by
424 -- erroneous handling of error situations
426 -- dP Do not check for controlled objects in preelaborable packages.
427 -- RM 10.2.1(9) forbids the use of library level controlled objects
428 -- in preelaborable packages, but this restriction is a huge pain,
429 -- especially in the predefined library units.
431 -- dQ Eliminate check for duplicate external tags. This check was added
432 -- as per AI 0113, and causes some backward compatibility problems.
433 -- It is never legitimate to have duplicate external tags, so the
434 -- check is certainly valid, but this debug switch can be useful for
435 -- enabling previous behavior of ignoring this problem.
437 -- dR Bypass the check for a proper version of s-rpc being present
438 -- to use the -gnatz? switch. This allows debugging of the use
439 -- of stubs generation without needing to have GLADE (or some
440 -- other PCS installed).
442 -- dS Omit conversion of fpt numbers to exact machine numbers in
443 -- non-static evaluation contexts (see Check_Non_Static_Context).
444 -- This is intended for testing out timing problems with this
445 -- conversion circuit.
447 -- dT Similar to dS, but omits the conversions only in the case where
448 -- the parent is not a constant declaration.
450 -- dU Enable garbage collection of unreachable entities. This enables
451 -- both the reachability analysis and changing the Is_Public and
452 -- Is_Eliminated flags.
454 -- dV Enable viewing of all symbols in debugger. Causes debug information
455 -- to be generated for all symbols, including internal symbols. This
456 -- is enabled by default for -gnatD, but this switch allows this to
457 -- be enabled without generating modified source files. Note that the
458 -- use of -gnatdV ensures in the dwarf/elf case that all symbols that
459 -- are present in the elf tables are also in the dwarf tables (which
460 -- seems to be required by some tools). Another effect of dV is to
461 -- generate full qualified names, including internal names generated
462 -- for blocks and loops.
464 -- dW Disable warnings when a possibly uninitialized scalar value is
465 -- passed to an IN OUT parameter of a procedure. This usage is a
466 -- quite improper bounded error [erroneous in Ada 83] situation,
467 -- and would normally generate a warning. However, to ease the
468 -- task of transitioning incorrect legacy code, we provide this
469 -- undocumented feature for suppressing these warnings.
471 -- dY Enable configurable run-time mode, just as though the System file
472 -- had Configurable_Run_Time_Mode set to True. This is useful in
473 -- testing high integrity mode.
475 -- dZ Generate listing showing the contents of the dispatch tables. Each
476 -- line has an internally generated number used for references between
477 -- tagged types and primitives. For each primitive the output has the
478 -- following fields:
480 -- - Letter 'P' or letter 's': The former indicates that this
481 -- primitive will be located in a primary dispatch table. The
482 -- latter indicates that it will be located in a secondary
483 -- dispatch table.
485 -- - Name of the primitive. In case of predefined Ada primitives
486 -- the text "(predefined)" is added before the name, and these
487 -- acronyms are used: SR (Stream_Read), SW (Stream_Write), SI
488 -- (Stream_Input), SO (Stream_Output), DA (Deep_Adjust), DF
489 -- (Deep_Finalize). In addition Oeq identifies the equality
490 -- operator, and "_assign" the assignment.
492 -- - If the primitive covers interface types, two extra fields
493 -- referencing other primitives are generated: "Alias" references
494 -- the primitive of the tagged type that covers an interface
495 -- primitive, and "AI_Alias" references the covered interface
496 -- primitive.
498 -- - The expression "at #xx" indicates the slot of the dispatch
499 -- table occupied by such primitive in its corresponding primary
500 -- or secondary dispatch table.
502 -- - In case of abstract subprograms the text "is abstract" is
503 -- added at the end of the line.
505 -- d.a Force Target_Strict_Alignment to True, even on targets where it
506 -- would normally be false. Can be used for testing strict alignment
507 -- circuitry in the compiler.
509 -- d.b Dump back end types. During Create_Standard, the back end is
510 -- queried for all available types. This option shows them.
512 -- d.c Generate inline concatenation, instead of calling one of the
513 -- System.Concat_n.Str_Concat_n routines in cases where the latter
514 -- routines would normally be called.
516 -- d.d Disable atomic synchronization for all atomic variable references.
517 -- Pragma Enable_Atomic_Synchronization is ignored.
519 -- d.e Enable atomic synchronization for all atomic variable references.
520 -- Pragma Disable_Atomic_Synchronization is ignored, and also the
521 -- compiler switch -gnated is ignored.
523 -- d.f Suppress folding of static expressions. This of course results
524 -- in seriously non-conforming behavior, but is useful sometimes
525 -- when tracking down handling of complex expressions.
527 -- d.g Enables conversion of a raise statement into a goto when the
528 -- relevant handler is statically determinable. For now we only try
529 -- this if this debug flag is set. Later we will enable this more
530 -- generally by default.
532 -- d.i Ignore all occurrences of pragma Warnings in the sources. This can
533 -- be used in particular to disable Warnings (Off) to check if any of
534 -- these statements are inappropriate.
536 -- d.j Generate listing of frontend inlined calls and inline calls passed
537 -- to the backend. This is useful to locate skipped calls that must be
538 -- inlined by the frontend.
540 -- d.k Enable new semantics of frontend inlining. This is useful to test
541 -- this new feature in all the platforms.
543 -- d.l Use Ada 95 semantics for limited function returns. This may be
544 -- used to work around the incompatibility introduced by AI-318-2.
545 -- It is useful only in -gnat05 mode.
547 -- d.m When -gnatl is used, the normal output includes full listings of
548 -- all files in the extended main source (body/spec/subunits). If this
549 -- debug switch is used, then the full listing is given only for the
550 -- main source (this corresponds to a previous behavior of -gnatl and
551 -- is used for running the ACATS tests).
553 -- d.n Print source file names as they are loaded. This is useful if the
554 -- compiler has a bug -- these are the files that need to be included
555 -- in a bug report.
557 -- d.o Generate listing showing the IL instructions generated by the .NET
558 -- compiler for each subprogram.
560 -- d.p Enable the .NET CIL verifier. During development the verifier is
561 -- disabled by default and this flag is used to enable it. In the
562 -- future we will reverse this functionality.
564 -- d.r Forces the flag OK_To_Reorder_Components to be set in all record
565 -- base types that have no discriminants.
567 -- d.s Normally the compiler expands slice moves into loops if overlap
568 -- might be possible. This debug flag inhibits that expansion, and
569 -- the back end is expected to use an appropriate routine to handle
570 -- overlap, based on Forward_OK and Backwards_OK flags.
572 -- d.t The compiler has been modified (a fairly extensive modification)
573 -- to generate static dispatch tables for library level tagged types.
574 -- This debug switch disables this modification and reverts to the
575 -- previous dynamic construction of tables. It is there as a possible
576 -- work around if we run into trouble with the new implementation.
578 -- d.u Sets Modify_Tree_For_C mode in which tree is modified to make it
579 -- easier to generate code using a C compiler.
581 -- d.v Forces the flag OK_To_Reorder_Components to be set in all record
582 -- base types that have at least one discriminant (v = variant).
584 -- d.w This flag turns off the scanning of loops to detect possible
585 -- infinite loops.
587 -- d.x No exception handlers in generated code. This causes exception
588 -- handlers to be eliminated from the generated code. They are still
589 -- fully compiled and analyzed, they just get eliminated from the
590 -- code generation step.
592 -- d.A There seems to be a problem with ASIS if we activate the circuit
593 -- for reading and writing the aspect specification hash table, so
594 -- for now, this is controlled by the debug flag d.A. The hash table
595 -- is only written and read if this flag is set.
597 -- d.C Generate call to System.Concat_n.Str_Concat_n routines in cases
598 -- where we would normally generate inline concatenation code.
600 -- d.E Turn selected errors into warnings. This debug switch causes a
601 -- specific set of error messages into warnings. Setting this switch
602 -- causes Opt.Error_To_Warning to be set to True. The intention is
603 -- that this be used for messages representing upwards incompatible
604 -- changes to Ada 2012 that cause previously correct programs to be
605 -- treated as illegal now. The following cases are affected:
607 -- Errors relating to overlapping subprogram parameters for cases
608 -- other than IN OUT parameters to functions.
610 -- Errors relating to the new rules about not defining equality
611 -- too late so that composition of equality can be assured.
613 -- d.F Sets GNATprove_Mode to True. This allows debugging the frontend in
614 -- the special mode used by GNATprove.
616 -- d.I Do not ignore enum representation clauses in CodePeer mode.
617 -- The default of ignoring representation clauses for enumeration
618 -- types in CodePeer is good for the majority of Ada code, but in some
619 -- cases being able to change this default might be useful to remove
620 -- some false positives.
622 -- d.J Disable parallel SCIL generation. Normally SCIL file generation is
623 -- done in parallel to speed processing. This switch disables this
624 -- behavior.
626 -- d.L Normally the front end generates special expansion for conditional
627 -- expressions of a limited type. This debug flag removes this special
628 -- case expansion, leaving it up to the back end to handle conditional
629 -- expressions correctly.
631 -- d.M Relaxed RM semantics. This flag sets Opt.Relaxed_RM_Semantics
632 -- See Opt.Relaxed_RM_Semantics for more details.
634 -- d.N Enlarge entities by one node (but don't attempt to use this extra
635 -- node for storage of any flags or fields). This can be used to do
636 -- experiments on the impact of increasing entity sizes.
638 -- d.O Dump internal SCO tables. Before outputting the SCO information to
639 -- the ALI file, the internal SCO tables (SCO_Table/SCO_Unit_Table)
640 -- are dumped for debugging purposes.
642 -- d.P Previous non-optimized handling of length comparisons. Setting this
643 -- flag inhibits the effect of Optimize_Length_Comparison in Exp_Ch4.
644 -- This is there in case we find a situation where the optimization
645 -- malfunctions, to provide a work around.
647 -- d.R As documented in lib-writ.ads, restrictions in the ali file can
648 -- have two forms, positional and named. The named notation is the
649 -- current preferred form, but the use of this debug switch will force
650 -- the use of the obsolescent positional form.
652 -- d.S Force Optimize_Alignment (Space) mode as the default
654 -- d.T Force Optimize_Alignment (Time) mode as the default
656 -- d.U Ignore indirect calls for static elaboration. The static
657 -- elaboration model is conservative, especially regarding indirect
658 -- calls. If you say Proc'Access, it will assume you might call
659 -- Proc. This can cause elaboration cycles at bind time. This flag
660 -- reverts to the behavior of earlier compilers, which ignored
661 -- indirect calls.
663 -- d.W Print out debugging information for Walk_Library_Items, including
664 -- the order in which units are walked. This is primarily for use in
665 -- debugging CodePeer mode.
667 -- d1 Error messages have node numbers where possible. Normally error
668 -- messages have only source locations. This option is useful when
669 -- debugging errors caused by expanded code, where the source location
670 -- does not give enough information.
672 -- d2 Suppress output of the error position flags for verbose form error
673 -- messages. The messages are still interspersed in the listing, but
674 -- without any error flags or extra blank lines. Also causes an extra
675 -- <<< to be output at the right margin. This is intended to be the
676 -- easiest format for checking conformance of ACATS B tests. This
677 -- flag also suppresses the additional messages explaining why a
678 -- non-static expression is non-static (see Sem_Eval.Why_Not_Static).
679 -- This avoids having to worry about these messages in ACATS testing.
681 -- d3 Causes Comperr to dump the contents of the node for which an abort
682 -- was detected (normally only the Node_Id of the node is output).
684 -- d4 Inhibits automatic krunching of predefined library unit file names.
685 -- Normally, as described in the spec of package Krunch, such files
686 -- are automatically krunched to 8 characters, with special treatment
687 -- of the prefixes Ada, System, and Interfaces. Setting this debug
688 -- switch disables this special treatment.
690 -- d5 Causes the tree read/write circuit to output detailed information
691 -- tracking the data that is read and written element by element.
693 -- d6 Normally access-to-unconstrained-array types are represented
694 -- using fat (double) pointers. Using this debug flag causes them
695 -- to default to thin. This can be used to test the performance
696 -- implications of using thin pointers, and also to test that the
697 -- compiler functions correctly with this choice.
699 -- d7 Normally a -gnatl or -gnatv listing includes the time stamp
700 -- of the source file. This debug flag suppresses this output,
701 -- and also suppresses the message with the version number.
702 -- This is useful in certain regression tests.
704 -- d8 This forces the packed stuff to generate code assuming the
705 -- opposite endianness from the actual correct value. Useful in
706 -- testing out code generation from the packed routines.
708 -- d9 This allows lock free implementation for protected objects
709 -- (see Exp_Ch9).

712 -- Documentation for Binder Debug Flags --
713 ------------------------------------------
715 -- da Normally if there is an elaboration circularity, then in describing
716 -- the cycle, links involving internal units are omitted, since they
717 -- are irrelevant and confusing. This debug flag causes all links to
718 -- be listed, and is useful when diagnosing circularities introduced
719 -- by incorrect changes to the run-time library itself.
721 -- db Output debug information from Better_Choice in Binde, which uses
722 -- various heuristics to determine elaboration order in cases where
723 -- multiple orders are valid.
725 -- dc List units as they are chosen. As units are selected for addition to
726 -- the elaboration order, a line of output is generated showing which
727 -- unit has been selected.
729 -- de Similar to the effect of -e (output complete list of elaboration
730 -- dependencies) except that internal units are included in the
731 -- listing.
733 -- di Normally gnatbind calls Read_Ali with Ignore_Errors set to
734 -- False, since the binder really needs correct version ALI
735 -- files to do its job. This debug flag causes Ignore_Errors
736 -- mode to be set for the binder (and is particularly useful
737 -- for testing ignore errors mode).
739 -- dn List details of manipulation of Num_Pred values during execution of
740 -- the algorithm used to determine a correct order of elaboration. This
741 -- is useful in diagnosing any problems in its behavior.
743 -- do Use old elaboration order preference. The new preference rules
744 -- prefer specs with no bodies to specs with bodies, and between two
745 -- specs with bodies, prefers the one whose body is closer to being
746 -- able to be elaborated. This is a clear improvement, but we provide
747 -- this debug flag in case of regressions.
749 -- du List unit name and file name for each unit as it is read in
751 -- dx Force the binder to read (and then ignore) the xref information
752 -- in ali files (used to check that read circuit is working OK).

764 -- compilations.
766 -- dn Do not delete temporary files created by gnatmake at the end

768 -- files or project path files.
770 -- dp Prints the Q used by routine Make.Compile_Sources every time
771 -- we go around the main compile loop of Make.Compile_Sources
773 -- dq Prints source files as they are enqueued and dequeued in the Q
774 -- used by routine Make.Compile_Sources. Useful to figure out the
775 -- order in which sources are recompiled.
777 -- dt When a time stamp mismatch has been found for an ALI file,
778 -- display the source file name, the time stamp expected and
779 -- the time stamp found.
