   --  freeze node of E.

   procedure Add_Global_Declaration (N : Node_Id);
   --  These procedures adds a declaration N at the library level, to be
   --  elaborated before any other code in the unit. It is used for example
   --  for the entity that marks whether a unit has been elaborated. The
   --  declaration is added to the Declarations list of the Aux_Decls_Node
   --  for the current unit. The declarations are added in the current scope,
   --  so the caller should push a new scope as required before the call.

   --  (because of violation of static expression rules) in Ada 95 (but not
   --  in Ada 83). Typically this routine posts all messages at the Sloc of
   --  node N. However, if Loc /= No_Location, Loc is the Sloc used to output

   --  explicitly, in which case it is used instead. The type of the raise
   --  node that is built is normally Etype (N), but if the Typ parameter
   --  is present, this is used instead. Warn is normally False. If it is
   --  True then the message is treated as a warning even though it does
   --  not end with a ? (this is used when the caller wants to parameterize
   --  whether an error or warning is given.

   --  the call is to clear the Constant_Value field (but we do not need to
   --  clear the Is_True_Constant flag, since that only gets reset if there
   --  really is an assignment somewhere in the entity scope). This procedure
   --  also calls Kill_All_Checks, since this is a special case of needing to
   --  forget saved values. This procedure also clears the Is_Known_Null and
   --  Is_Known_Non_Null and Is_Known_Valid flags in variables, constants or
   --  parameters since these are also not known to be trustable any more.
   --
   --  The Last_Assignment_Only flag is set True to clear only Last_Assignment

   --  second assignment clobbers the first.

   function May_Be_Lvalue (N : Node_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Determines if N could be an lvalue (e.g. an assignment left hand side).
   --  An lvalue is defined as any expression which appears in a context where
   --  a name is required by the syntax, and the identity, rather than merely
   --  the value of the node is needed (for example, the prefix of an Access
   --  attribute is in this category). Note that, as implied by the name, this
   --  test is conservative. If it cannot be sure that N is NOT an lvalue, then
   --  it returns True. It tries hard to get the answer right, but it is hard
   --  to guarantee this in all cases. Note that it is more possible to give
   --  correct answer if the tree is fully analyzed.

   function Must_Inline (Subp : Entity_Id) return Boolean;

   --  the same descendent as the original in this case, which is appropriate
   --  for non-syntactic fields such as Etype). The parent pointers in the
   --  copy are properly set. Copy_Tree (Empty/Error) returns Empty/Error.
   --  The one exception to the rule of not copying semantic fields is that
   --  any implicit types attached to the subtree are duplicated, so that
   --  the copy contains a distinct set of implicit type entities. Thus this
   --  function is used when it is necessary to duplicate an analyzed tree,
   --  declared in the same or some other compilation unit. This function is
   --  declared here rather than in atree because it uses semantic information
   --  in particular concerning the structure of itypes and the generation of

   --  The call destroys the contents of Map in this case
   --
   --  The parameter New_Sloc, if set to a value other than No_Location, is
   --  used as the Sloc value for all nodes in the new copy. If New_Sloc is
   --  set to its default value No_Location, then the Sloc values of the
   --  nodes in the copy are simply copied from the corresponding original.
   --
   --  The Comes_From_Source indication is unchanged if New_Sloc is set to
   --  the default No_Location value, but is reset if New_Sloc is given, since
   --  in this case the result clearly is neither a source node or an exact
   --  copy of a source node.
   --
   --  The parameter New_Scope, if set to a value other than Empty, is the
   --  value to use as the Scope for any Itypes that are copied. The most
   --  typical value for this parameter, if given, is Current_Scope.
