  26 --  This package does front-end layout of types and objects. The result is
  27 --  to annotate the tree with information on size and alignment of types
  28 --  and objects. How much layout is performed depends on the setting of the
  29 --  target dependent parameter Backend_Layout.

  36    --  for types and objects that get frozen (which should be all such
  37    --  entities which are seen by the back end) will get layed out by one
  38    --  of these two procedures.

  43    --  Backend_Layout switch is False, then it is guaranteed that all
  44    --  three fields will be properly set on return. Regardless of the
  45    --  Backend_Layout value, it is guaranteed that all discrete types
  46    --  will have both Esize and RM_Size fields set on return (since
  47    --  these are static values). Note that Layout_Type is not called
  48    --  for generic types, since these play no part in code generation,
  49    --  and hence representation aspects are irrelevant.

  54    --  a non-generic subprogram (E_In_Parameter, E_In_Out_Parameter,
  55    --  or E_Out_Parameter). This procedure may set or adjust the
  56    --  Esize and Alignment fields of E. If Backend_Layout is False,
  57    --  then it is guaranteed that both fields will be properly set
  58    --  on return. If the Esize is still unknown in the latter case,
  59    --  it means that the object must be allocated dynamically, since
  60    --  its length is not known at compile time.

  66    --  size and alignment are compatible, and if not either gives an error
  67    --  message if they cannot be adjusted or else adjusts them appropriately.

  70    --  Set proper RM_Size for discrete size, this is normally the minimum
  71    --  number of bits to accommodate the range given, except in the case
  72    --  where the subtype statically matches the first subtype, in which
  73    --  case the size must be copied from the first subtype. For generic
  74    --  types, the RM_Size is simply set to zero. This routine also sets
  75    --  the Is_Constrained flag in Def_Id.
  76
  77    procedure Set_Elem_Alignment (E : Entity_Id);
  78    --  The front end always sets alignments for elementary types by calling
  79    --  this procedure. Note that we have to do this for discrete types (since
  80    --  the Alignment attribute is static), so we might as well do it for all
  81    --  elementary types, since the processing is the same.
