  91    --  of this routine, a type conversion or qualified expression whose
  92    --  expression is an entity is also processed. The reason that we do not

 100    --  referenced in a use or package renaming statement). Appropriate
 101    --  warning messages are generated if either of these situations is
 102    --  detected.

 104    --  A special case arises when a package body or a subprogram body with
 105    --  a separate spec is being compiled. In this case, a with may appear
 106    --  on the spec, but be needed only by the body. This still generates
 107    --  a warning, but the text is different (the with is not redundant,
 108    --  it is misplaced).
 109    --
 110    --  This special case is implemented by making an initial call to this
 111    --  procedure with Spec_Unit set to the unit number of the separate spec.
 112    --  This call does not generate any warning messages, but instead may
 113    --  result in flags being set in the N_With_Clause node that record that
 114    --  there was no use in the spec.
 115    --
 116    --  The main call (made after all units have been analyzed, with Spec_Unit
 117    --  set to the default value of No_Unit) generates the required warnings
 118    --  using the flags set by the initial call where appropriate to specialize
 119    --  the text of the warning messages.

 177    --       test, we don't want to generate warnings for boolean variables
 178    --       since this is typical of conditional compilation in Ada.

 183    --       errors for which the warning is useful.
 184    --
 185    --    4. The expression does not occur within an instantiation. A non-
 186    --       static expression in a generic may become constant because of
