26 -- This package contains the routines to output error messages. They are
27 -- basically system independent, however in some environments, e.g. when the
28 -- parser is embedded into an editor, it may be appropriate to replace the
29 -- implementation of this package.

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
47 -- units other than the main unit. However, if the main unit has a pragma
48 -- Source_Reference line, then this is initialized to No_Source_File, to
49 -- force an initial reference to the real source file name.

52 -- If this value is non-zero, then any attempt to generate an error

54 -- is not output. This is used for defending against junk resulting from
55 -- illegalities, and also for substitution of more appropriate error
56 -- messages from higher semantic levels. It is a counter so that the
57 -- increment/decrement protocol nests neatly.

65 -- these sequences are ignored (i.e. simply equivalent to a single ?). The
66 -- -gnatw.d switch sets this flag True, -gnatw.D sets this flag False.
68 -----------------------------------
69 -- Suppression of Error Messages --
70 -----------------------------------
72 -- In an effort to reduce the impact of redundant error messages, the
73 -- error output routines in this package normally suppress certain
74 -- classes of messages as follows:
76 -- 1. Identical messages placed at the same point in the text. Such
77 -- duplicate error message result for example from rescanning
78 -- sections of the text that contain lexical errors. Only one of
79 -- such a set of duplicate messages is output, and the rest are
80 -- suppressed.
82 -- 2. If more than one parser message is generated for a single source
83 -- line, then only the first message is output, the remaining
84 -- messages on the same line are suppressed.
86 -- 3. If a message is posted on a node for which a message has been
87 -- previously posted, then only the first message is retained. The
88 -- Error_Posted flag is used to detect such multiple postings. Note
89 -- that this only applies to semantic messages, since otherwise
90 -- for parser messages, this would be a special case of case 2.
92 -- 4. If a message is posted on a node whose Etype or Entity
93 -- fields reference entities on which an error message has
94 -- already been placed, as indicated by the Error_Posted flag
95 -- being set on these entities, then the message is suppressed.
97 -- 5. If a message attempts to insert an Error node, or a direct
98 -- reference to the Any_Type node, then the message is suppressed.
100 -- 6. Note that cases 2-5 only apply to error messages, not warning
101 -- messages. Warning messages are only suppressed for case 1, and
102 -- when they come from other than the main extended unit.
104 -- This normal suppression action may be overridden in cases 2-5 (but
105 -- not in case 1) by setting All_Errors mode, or by setting the special
106 -- unconditional message insertion character (!) as described below.
108 ---------------------------------------------------------
109 -- Error Message Text and Message Insertion Characters --
110 ---------------------------------------------------------
112 -- Error message text strings are composed of lower case letters, digits
113 -- and the special characters space, comma, period, colon and semicolon,
114 -- apostrophe and parentheses. Special insertion characters can also
115 -- appear which cause the error message circuit to modify the given
116 -- string as follows:
118 -- Insertion character % (Percent: insert name from Names table)
119 -- The character % is replaced by the text for the name specified by
120 -- the Name_Id value stored in Error_Msg_Name_1. A blank precedes the
121 -- name if it is preceded by a non-blank character other than left
122 -- parenthesis. The name is enclosed in quotes unless manual quotation
123 -- mode is set. If the Name_Id is set to No_Name, then no insertion
124 -- occurs; if the Name_Id is set to Error_Name, then the string
125 -- <error> is inserted. A second and third % may appear in a single
126 -- message, similarly replaced by the names which are specified by the
127 -- Name_Id values stored in Error_Msg_Name_2 and Error_Msg_Name_3. The
128 -- names are decoded and cased according to the current identifier
129 -- casing mode. Note: if a unit name ending with %b or %s is passed
130 -- for this kind of insertion, this suffix is simply stripped. Use a
131 -- unit name insertion ($) to process the suffix.
133 -- Insertion character %% (Double percent: insert literal name)
134 -- The character sequence %% acts as described above for %, except
135 -- that the name is simply obtained with Get_Name_String and is not
136 -- decoded or cased, it is inserted literally from the names table.
137 -- A trailing %b or %s is not treated specially.
139 -- Insertion character $ (Dollar: insert unit name from Names table)
140 -- The character $ is treated similarly to %, except that the name is
141 -- obtained from the Unit_Name_Type value in Error_Msg_Unit_1 and
142 -- Error_Msg_Unit_2, as provided by Get_Unit_Name_String in package
143 -- Uname. Note that this name includes the postfix (spec) or (body)
144 -- strings. If this postfix is not required, use the normal %
145 -- insertion for the unit name.
147 -- Insertion character { (Left brace: insert file name from names table)
148 -- The character { is treated similarly to %, except that the input
149 -- value is a File_Name_Type value stored in Error_Msg_File_1 or
150 -- Error_Msg_File_2 or Error_Msg_File_3. The value is output literally,
151 -- enclosed in quotes as for %, but the case is not modified, the
152 -- insertion is the exact string stored in the names table without
153 -- adjusting the casing.
155 -- Insertion character * (Asterisk, insert reserved word name)
156 -- The insertion character * is treated exactly like % except that the
157 -- resulting name is cased according to the default conventions for
158 -- reserved words (see package Scans).
160 -- Insertion character & (Ampersand: insert name from node)
161 -- The insertion character & is treated similarly to %, except that
162 -- the name is taken from the Chars field of the given node, and may
163 -- refer to a child unit name, or a selected component. The casing is,
164 -- if possible, taken from the original source reference, which is
165 -- obtained from the Sloc field of the given node or nodes. If no Sloc
166 -- is available (happens e.g. for nodes in package Standard), then the
167 -- default case (see Scans spec) is used. The nodes to be used are
168 -- stored in Error_Msg_Node_1, Error_Msg_Node_2. No insertion occurs
169 -- for the Empty node, and the Error node results in the insertion of
170 -- the characters <error>. In addition, if the special global variable
171 -- Error_Msg_Qual_Level is non-zero, then the reference will include
172 -- up to the given number of levels of qualification, using the scope
173 -- chain.
175 -- Insertion character # (Pound: insert line number reference)
176 -- The character # is replaced by the string indicating the source
177 -- position stored in Error_Msg_Sloc. There are three cases:
179 -- for package Standard: in package Standard
180 -- for locations in current file: at line nnn:ccc
181 -- for locations in other files: at filename:nnn:ccc
183 -- By convention, the # insertion character is only used at the end of
184 -- an error message, so the above strings only appear as the last
185 -- characters of an error message. The only exceptions to this rule
186 -- are that an RM reference may follow in the form (RM .....) and a
187 -- right parenthesis may immediately follow the #. In the case of
188 -- continued messages, # can only appear at the end of a group of
189 -- continuation messages, except that \\ messages which always start
190 -- a new line end the sequence from the point of view of this rule.
191 -- The idea is that for any use of -gnatj, it will still be the case
192 -- that a location reference appears only at the end of a line.
194 -- Note: the output of the string "at " is suppressed if the string
195 -- " from" or " from " immediately precedes the insertion character #.
196 -- Certain messages read better with from than at.
198 -- Insertion character } (Right brace: insert type reference)
199 -- The character } is replaced by a string describing the type
200 -- referenced by the entity whose Id is stored in Error_Msg_Node_1.
201 -- the string gives the name or description of the type, and also
202 -- where appropriate the location of its declaration. Special cases
203 -- like "some integer type" are handled appropriately. Only one } is
204 -- allowed in a message, since there is not enough room for two (the
205 -- insertion can be quite long, including a file name) In addition, if
206 -- the special global variable Error_Msg_Qual_Level is non-zero, then
207 -- the reference will include up to the given number of levels of
208 -- qualification, using the scope chain.
210 -- Insertion character @ (At: insert column number reference)
211 -- The character @ is replaced by null if the RM_Column_Check mode is
212 -- off (False). If the switch is on (True), then @ is replaced by the
213 -- text string " in column nnn" where nnn is the decimal
214 -- representation of the column number stored in Error_Msg_Col plus
215 -- one (the plus one is because the number is stored 0-origin and
216 -- displayed 1-origin).
218 -- Insertion character ^ (Caret: insert integer value)
219 -- The character ^ is replaced by the decimal conversion of the Uint
220 -- value stored in Error_Msg_Uint_1, with a possible leading minus.
221 -- A second ^ may occur in the message, in which case it is replaced
222 -- by the decimal conversion of the Uint value in Error_Msg_Uint_2.
224 -- Insertion character > (Greater Than, run time name)
225 -- The character > is replaced by a string of the form (name) if
226 -- Targparm scanned out a Run_Time_Name (see package Targparm for
227 -- details). The name is enclosed in parentheses and output in mixed
228 -- case mode (upper case after any space in the name). If no run time
229 -- name is defined, this insertion character has no effect.
231 -- Insertion character ! (Exclamation: unconditional message)
232 -- The character ! appearing anywhere in the text of a message makes
233 -- the message unconditional which means that it is output even if it
234 -- would normally be suppressed. See section above for a description
235 -- of the cases in which messages are normally suppressed. Note that
236 -- in the case of warnings, the meaning is that the warning should not
237 -- be removed in dead code (that's the only time that the use of !
238 -- has any effect for a warning).
240 -- Note: the presence of ! is ignored in continuation messages (i.e.
241 -- messages starting with the \ insertion character). The effect of the
242 -- use of ! in a parent message automatically applies to all of its
243 -- continuation messages (since we clearly don't want any case in which
244 -- continuations are separated from the main message). It is allowable
245 -- to put ! in continuation messages, and the usual style is to include
246 -- it, since it makes it clear that the continuation is part of an
247 -- unconditional message.
249 -- Insertion character !! (Double exclamation: unconditional warning)
250 -- Normally warning messages issued in other than the main unit are
251 -- suppressed. If the message contains !! then this suppression is
252 -- avoided. This is currently used by the Compile_Time_Warning pragma
253 -- to ensure the message for a with'ed unit is output, and for warnings
254 -- on ineffective back-end inlining, which is detected in units that
255 -- contain subprograms to be inlined in the main program.
257 -- Insertion character ? (Question: warning message)
258 -- The character ? appearing anywhere in a message makes the message
259 -- warning instead of a normal error message, and the text of the
260 -- message will be preceded by "warning:" in the normal case. The
261 -- handling of warnings if further controlled by the Warning_Mode
262 -- option (-w switch), see package Opt for further details, and also by
263 -- the current setting from pragma Warnings. This pragma applies only
264 -- to warnings issued from the semantic phase (not the parser), but
265 -- currently all relevant warnings are posted by the semantic phase
266 -- anyway. Messages starting with (style) are also treated as warning
267 -- messages.
269 -- Note: when a warning message is output, the text of the message is
270 -- preceded by "warning: " in the normal case. An exception to this
271 -- rule occurs when the text of the message starts with "info: " in
272 -- which case this string is not prepended. This allows callers to
273 -- label certain warnings as informational messages, rather than as
274 -- warning messages requiring some action.
276 -- Note: the presence of ? is ignored in continuation messages (i.e.
277 -- messages starting with the \ insertion character). The warning
278 -- status of continuations is determined only by the parent message
279 -- which is being continued. It is allowable to put ? in continuation
280 -- messages, and the usual style is to include it, since it makes it
281 -- clear that the continuation is part of a warning message.
283 -- Note: this usage is obsolete, use ??, ?x? or ?X? instead to specify
284 -- the string to be added when Warn_Doc_Switch is set to True. If this
285 -- switch is True, then for simple ? messages it has no effect. This
286 -- simple form is to ease transition and will be removed later.
288 -- Insertion character ?? (Two question marks: default warning)
289 -- Like ?, but if the flag Warn_Doc_Switch is True, adds the string
290 -- "[enabled by default]" at the end of the warning message. For
291 -- continuations, use this in each continuation message.
293 -- Insertion character ?x? (warning with switch)
294 -- Like ?, but if the flag Warn_Doc_Switch is True, adds the string
295 -- "[-gnatwx]" at the end of the warning message. x is a lower case
296 -- letter. For continuations, use this on each continuation message.
298 -- Insertion character ?X? (warning with dot switch)
299 -- Like ?, but if the flag Warn_Doc_Switch is True, adds the string
300 -- "[-gnatw.x]" at the end of the warning message. X is an upper case
301 -- letter corresponding to the lower case letter x in the message.
302 -- For continuations, use this on each continuation message.
304 -- Insertion character < (Less Than: conditional warning message)
305 -- The character < appearing anywhere in a message is used for a
306 -- conditional error message. If Error_Msg_Warn is True, then the
307 -- effect is the same as ? described above. If Error_Msg_Warn is
308 -- False, then there is no effect.
310 -- Insertion character A-Z (Upper case letter: Ada reserved word)
311 -- If two or more upper case letters appear in the message, they are
312 -- taken as an Ada reserved word, and are converted to the default
313 -- case for reserved words (see Scans package spec). Surrounding
314 -- quotes are added unless manual quotation mode is currently set.
316 -- Insertion character ` (Backquote: set manual quotation mode)
317 -- The backquote character always appears in pairs. Each backquote of
318 -- the pair is replaced by a double quote character. In addition, any
319 -- reserved keywords, or name insertions between these backquotes are
320 -- not surrounded by the usual automatic double quotes. See the
321 -- section below on manual quotation mode for further details.
323 -- Insertion character ' (Quote: literal character)
324 -- Precedes a character which is placed literally into the message.
325 -- Used to insert characters into messages that are one of the
326 -- insertion characters defined here. Also used when insertion
327 -- upper case letter sequences not to be treated as keywords.
329 -- Insertion character \ (Backslash: continuation message)
330 -- Indicates that the message is a continuation of a message
331 -- previously posted. This is used to ensure that such groups of
332 -- messages are treated as a unit. The \ character must be the first
333 -- character of the message text.
335 -- Insertion character \\ (Two backslashes, continuation with new line)
336 -- This differs from \ only in -gnatjnn mode (Error_Message_Line_Length
337 -- set non-zero). This sequence forces a new line to start even when
338 -- continuations are being gathered into a single message.
340 -- Insertion character | (Vertical bar: non-serious error)
341 -- By default, error messages (other than warning messages) are
342 -- considered to be fatal error messages which prevent expansion or
343 -- generation of code in the presence of the -gnatQ switch. If the
344 -- insertion character | appears, the message is considered to be
345 -- non-serious, and does not cause Serious_Errors_Detected to be
346 -- incremented (so expansion is not prevented by such a msg).
348 -- Insertion character ~ (Tilde: insert string)
349 -- Indicates that Error_Msg_String (1 .. Error_Msg_Strlen) is to be
350 -- inserted to replace the ~ character. The string is inserted in the
351 -- literal form it appears, without any action on special characters.

354 -- Specialization of Messages for VMS --
355 ----------------------------------------
357 -- Some messages mention gcc-style switch names. When using an OpenVMS
358 -- host, such switch names must be converted to their corresponding VMS
359 -- qualifer. The following table controls this translation. In each case

361 -- is the Gname? entry from below, and this string will be replaced by
362 -- "/yyy qualifier", where yyy is the corresponding Vname? entry.

473 -----------------------------------------------------
474 -- Format of Messages and Manual Quotation Control --
475 -----------------------------------------------------
477 -- Messages are generally all in lower case, except for inserted names
478 -- and appear in one of the following three forms:
480 -- error: text
481 -- warning: text
483 -- The prefixes error and warning are supplied automatically (depending
484 -- on the use of the ? insertion character), and the call to the error
485 -- message routine supplies the text. The "error: " prefix is omitted
486 -- in brief error message formats.
488 -- Reserved Ada keywords in the message are in the default keyword case
489 -- (determined from the given source program), surrounded by quotation
490 -- marks. This is achieved by spelling the reserved word in upper case
491 -- letters, which is recognized as a request for insertion of quotation
492 -- marks by the error text processor. Thus for example:
494 -- Error_Msg_AP ("IS expected");
496 -- would result in the output of one of the following:
498 -- error: "is" expected
499 -- error: "IS" expected
500 -- error: "Is" expected
502 -- the choice between these being made by looking at the casing convention
503 -- used for keywords (actually the first compilation unit keyword) in the
504 -- source file.
506 -- Note: a special exception is that RM is never treated as a keyword
507 -- but instead is copied literally into the message, this avoids the
508 -- need for writing 'R'M for all reference manual quotes. A similar
509 -- exception is applied to the occurrence of the string SPARK used in
510 -- error messages about the SPARK subset of Ada.
512 -- In the case of names, the default mode for the error text processor
513 -- is to surround the name by quotation marks automatically. The case
514 -- used for the identifier names is taken from the source program where
515 -- possible, and otherwise is the default casing convention taken from
516 -- the source file usage.
518 -- In some cases, better control over the placement of quote marks is
519 -- required. This is achieved using manual quotation mode. In this mode,
520 -- one or more insertion sequences is surrounded by backquote characters.
521 -- The backquote characters are output as double quote marks, and normal
522 -- automatic insertion of quotes is suppressed between the double quotes.
523 -- For example:
525 -- Error_Msg_AP ("`END &;` expected");
527 -- generates a message like
529 -- error: "end Open_Scope;" expected
531 -- where the node specifying the name Open_Scope has been stored in
532 -- Error_Msg_Node_1 prior to the call. The great majority of error
533 -- messages operates in normal quotation mode.
535 -- Note: the normal automatic insertion of spaces before insertion
536 -- sequences (such as those that come from & and %) is suppressed in
537 -- manual quotation mode, so blanks, if needed as in the above example,
538 -- must be explicitly present.

595 -- Ignore_Errors Feature --
596 ---------------------------
598 -- In certain cases, notably for optional subunits, the compiler operates
599 -- in a mode where errors are to be ignored, and the whole unit is to be
600 -- considered as not present. To implement this we provide the following
601 -- flag to enable special handling, where error messages are suppressed,
602 -- but the Fatal_Error flag will still be set in the normal manner.

608 -----------------------
609 -- CODEFIX Facility --
610 -----------------------
612 -- The GPS and GNATBench IDE's have a codefix facility that allows for
613 -- automatic correction of a subset of the errors and warnings issued
614 -- by the compiler. This is done by recognizing the text of specific
615 -- messages using appropriate matching patterns.
617 -- The text of such messages should not be altered without coordinating
618 -- with the codefix code. All such messages are marked by a specific
619 -- style of comments, as shown by the following example:
621 -- Error_Msg_N -- CODEFIX
622 -- (parameters ....)
624 -- Any message marked with this -- CODEFIX comment should not be modified
625 -- without appropriate coordination.
