   -- Predefined primitive operations --
   -------------------------------------

   --  The predefined primitive operations (PPOs) are subprograms generated
   --  by GNAT for a particular tagged type. Their role is to provide support
   --  for different Ada language features such as the attribute 'Size or
   --  handling of dispatching triggers in select statements. PPOs are created
   --  when a tagged type is expanded or frozen. These subprograms are later
   --  collected and inserted into the dispatch table of a tagged type at
   --  fixed positions. Some of the PPOs that manipulate data in tagged objects
   --  require the generation of thunks.

   --  List of predefined primitive operations

   --    Leading underscores designate reserved names. Bracketed numerical
   --    values represent dispatch table slot numbers.

   --      _Size (1) - implementation of the attribute 'Size for any tagged
   --      type. Constructs of the form Prefix'Size are converted into
   --      Prefix._Size.

   --      TSS_Stream_Read (2) - implementation of the stream attribute Read
   --      for any tagged type.

   --      TSS_Stream_Write (3) - implementation of the stream attribute Write
   --      for any tagged type.

   --      TSS_Stream_Input (4) - implementation of the stream attribute Input
   --      for any tagged type.

   --      TSS_Stream_Output (5) - implementation of the stream attribute
   --      Output for any tagged type.

   --      Op_Eq (6) - implementation of the equality operator for any non-
   --      limited tagged type.

   --      _Assign (7) - implementation of the assignment operator for any
   --      non-limited tagged type.

   --      TSS_Deep_Adjust (8) - implementation of the finalization operation
   --      Adjust for any non-limited tagged type.

   --      TSS_Deep_Finalize (9) - implementation of the finalization
   --      operation Finalize for any non-limited tagged type.

   --      _Disp_Asynchronous_Select (10) - used in the expansion of ATC with
   --      dispatching triggers. Null implementation for limited interfaces,
   --      full body generation for types that implement limited interfaces,
   --      not generated for the rest of the cases. See Expand_N_Asynchronous_
   --      Select in Exp_Ch9 for more information.

   --      _Disp_Conditional_Select (11) - used in the expansion of conditional
   --      selects with dispatching triggers. Null implementation for limited
   --      interfaces, full body generation for types that implement limited
   --      interfaces, not generated for the rest of the cases. See Expand_N_
   --      Conditional_Entry_Call in Exp_Ch9 for more information.

   --      _Disp_Get_Prim_Op_Kind (12) - helper routine used in the expansion
   --      of ATC with dispatching triggers. Null implementation for limited
   --      interfaces, full body generation for types that implement limited
   --      interfaces, not generated for the rest of the cases.

   --      _Disp_Get_Task_Id (13) - helper routine used in the expansion of
   --      Abort, attributes 'Callable and 'Terminated for task interface
   --      class-wide types. Full body generation for task types, null
   --      implementation for limited interfaces, not generated for the rest
   --      of the cases. See Expand_N_Attribute_Reference in Exp_Attr and
   --      Expand_N_Abort_Statement in Exp_Ch9 for more information.

   --      _Disp_Requeue (14) - used in the expansion of dispatching requeue
   --      statements. Null implementation is provided for protected, task
   --      and synchronized interfaces. Protected and task types implementing
   --      concurrent interfaces receive full bodies. See Expand_N_Requeue_
   --      Statement in Exp_Ch9 for more information.

   --      _Disp_Timed_Select (15) - used in the expansion of timed selects
   --      with dispatching triggers. Null implementation for limited
   --      interfaces, full body generation for types that implement limited
   --      interfaces, not generated for the rest of the cases. See Expand_N_
   --      Timed_Entry_Call for more information.

   --  Life cycle of predefined primitive operations

   --      The specifications and bodies of the PPOs are created by
   --      Make_Predefined_Primitive_Specs and Predefined_Primitive_Bodies
   --      in Exp_Ch3. The generated specifications are immediately analyzed,
   --      while the bodies are left as freeze actions to the tagged type for
   --      which they are created.

   --      PPOs are collected and added to the Primitive_Operations list of
   --      a type by the regular analysis mechanism.

   --      PPOs are frozen by Exp_Ch3.Predefined_Primitive_Freeze

   --      Thunks for PPOs are created by Make_DT

   --      Dispatch table positions of PPOs are set by Set_All_DT_Position

   --      Calls to PPOs proceed as regular dispatching calls. If the PPO
   --      has a thunk, a call proceeds as a regular dispatching call with
   --      a thunk.

   --  Guidelines for addition of new predefined primitive operations

   --      Update the value of constant Max_Predef_Prims in a-tags.ads to
   --      indicate the new number of PPOs.

   --      Introduce a new predefined name for the new PPO in Snames.ads and
   --      Snames.adb.

   --      Categorize the new PPO name as predefined by adding an entry in
   --      Is_Predefined_Dispatching_Operation in Exp_Disp.

   --      Generate the specification of the new PPO in Make_Predefined_
   --      Primitive_Spec in Exp_Ch3.adb. The Is_Internal flag of the defining
   --      identifier of the specification must be set to True.

   --      Generate the body of the new PPO in Predefined_Primitive_Bodies in
   --      Exp_Ch3.adb. The Is_Internal flag of the defining identifier of the
   --      specification must be set to True.

   --      If the new PPO requires a thunk, add an entry in Freeze_Subprogram
   --      in Exp_Ch6.adb.

   --      When generating calls to a PPO, use Find_Prim_Op from Exp_Util.ads
   --      to retrieve the entity of the operation directly.

   --  Number of predefined primitive operations added by the Expander
   --  for a tagged type. If more predefined primitive operations are
   --  added, the following items must be changed:

   --    Ada.Tags.Max_Predef_Prims         - indirect use
   --    Exp_Disp.Default_Prim_Op_Position - indirect use
   --    Exp_Disp.Set_All_DT_Position      - direct   use

   procedure Build_Static_Dispatch_Tables (N : Node_Id);
   --  N is a library level package declaration or package body. Build the
   --  static dispatch table of the tagged types defined at library level. In
   --  case of package declarations with private part the generated nodes are
   --  added at the end of the list of private declarations. Otherwise they are
   --  added to the end of the list of public declarations. In case of package
   --  bodies they are added to the end of the list of declarations of the

   function Convert_Tag_To_Interface
     (Typ : Entity_Id; Expr : Node_Id) return Node_Id;
   pragma Inline (Convert_Tag_To_Interface);
   --  This function is used in class-wide interface conversions; the expanded
   --  code generated to convert a tagged object to a class-wide interface type
   --  involves referencing the tag component containing the secondary dispatch
   --  table associated with the interface. Given the expression Expr that
   --  references a tag component, we cannot generate an unchecked conversion
   --  to leave the expression decorated with the class-wide interface type Typ
   --  because an unchecked conversion cannot be seen as a no-op. An unchecked
   --  conversion is conceptually a function call and therefore the RM allows
   --  the backend to obtain a copy of the value of the actual object and store
   --  it in some other place (like a register); in such case the interface
   --  conversion is not equivalent to a displacement of the pointer to the
   --  interface and any further displacement fails. Although the functionality
   --  of this function is simple and could be done directly, the purpose of
   --  this routine is to leave well documented in the sources these
   --  occurrences.

   --  If Expr is an N_Selected_Component that references a tag generate:
   --     type ityp is non null access Typ;
   --     ityp!(Expr'Address).all

   --     ityp!(Expr).all
