   -- Handling of Actions Associated with Nodes --
   -----------------------------------------------

   --  The evaluation of certain expression nodes involves the elaboration
   --  of associated types and other declarations, and the execution of
   --  statement sequences. Expansion routines generating such actions must
   --  find an appropriate place in the tree to hang the actions so that
   --  they will be evaluated at the appropriate point.

   --  Some cases are simple:

   --    For an expression occurring in a simple statement that is in a list
   --    of statements, the actions are simply inserted into the list before
   --    the associated statement.

   --    For an expression occurring in a declaration (declarations always
   --    appear in lists), the actions are similarly inserted into the list
   --    just before the associated declaration.

   --  The following special cases arise:

   --    For actions associated with the right operand of a short circuit
   --    form, the actions are first stored in the short circuit form node
   --    in the Actions field. The expansion of these forms subsequently
   --    expands the short circuit forms into if statements which can then
   --    be moved as described above.

   --    For actions appearing in the Condition expression of a while loop,
   --    or an elsif clause, the actions are similarly temporarily stored in
   --    in the node (N_Elsif_Part or N_Iteration_Scheme) associated with
   --    the expression using the Condition_Actions field. Subsequently, the
   --    expansion of these nodes rewrites the control structures involved to
   --    reposition the actions in normal statement sequence.

   --    For actions appearing in the then or else expression of a conditional
   --    expression, these actions are similarly placed in the node, using the
   --    Then_Actions or Else_Actions field as appropriate. Once again the
   --    expansion of the N_Conditional_Expression node rewrites the node so
   --    that the actions can be normally positioned.

   --  Basically what we do is to climb up to the tree looking for the
   --  proper insertion point, as described by one of the above cases,
   --  and then insert the appropriate action or actions.

   --  Note if more than one insert call is made specifying the same
   --  Assoc_Node, then the actions are elaborated in the order of the
   --  calls, and this guarantee is preserved for the special cases above.

   procedure Insert_Action
     (Assoc_Node : Node_Id;
      Ins_Action : Node_Id);
   --  Insert the action Ins_Action at the appropriate point as described
   --  above. The action is analyzed using the default checks after it is
   --  inserted. Assoc_Node is the node with which the action is associated.

   procedure Insert_Action
     (Assoc_Node : Node_Id;
      Ins_Action : Node_Id;
      Suppress   : Check_Id);
   --  Insert the action Ins_Action at the appropriate point as described
   --  above. The action is analyzed using the default checks as modified
   --  by the given Suppress argument after it is inserted. Assoc_Node is
   --  the node with which the action is associated.

   procedure Insert_Actions
     (Assoc_Node  : Node_Id;
      Ins_Actions : List_Id);
   --  Insert the list of action Ins_Actions at the appropriate point as
   --  described above. The actions are analyzed using the default checks
   --  after they are inserted. Assoc_Node is the node with which the actions
   --  are associated. Ins_Actions may be No_List, in which case the call has
   --  no effect.

   procedure Insert_Actions
     (Assoc_Node  : Node_Id;
      Ins_Actions : List_Id;
      Suppress    : Check_Id);
   --  Insert the list of action Ins_Actions at the appropriate point as
   --  described above. The actions are analyzed using the default checks
   --  as modified by the given Suppress argument after they are inserted.
   --  Assoc_Node is the node with which the actions are associated.
   --  Ins_Actions may be No_List, in which case the call has no effect.

   procedure Insert_Action_After
     (Assoc_Node : Node_Id;
      Ins_Action : Node_Id);
   --  Assoc_Node must be a node in a list. Same as Insert_Action but the
   --  action will be inserted after N in a manner that is compatible with
   --  the transient scope mechanism.

   procedure Insert_Actions_After
     (Assoc_Node  : Node_Id;
      Ins_Actions : List_Id);
   --  Assoc_Node must be a node in a list. Same as Insert_Actions but
   --  actions will be inserted after N in a manner that is compatible with
   --  the transient scope mechanism. This procedure must be used instead
   --  of Insert_List_After if Assoc_Node may be in a transient scope.
   --
   --  Implementation limitation: Assoc_Node must be a statement. We can
   --  generalize to expressions if there is a need but this is tricky to
   --  implement because of short-circuits (among other things).???

   procedure Insert_Library_Level_Action (N : Node_Id);
   --  This procedure inserts and analyzes the node N as an action at the
   --  library level for the current unit (i.e. it is attached to the
   --  Actions field of the N_Compilation_Aux node for the main unit).

   procedure Insert_Library_Level_Actions (L : List_Id);
   --  Similar, but inserts a list of actions

   -- Other Subprograms --
   -----------------------

   procedure Activate_Atomic_Synchronization (N : Node_Id);
   --  N is a node for which atomic synchronization may be required (it is
   --  either an identifier, expanded name, or selected/indexed component or
   --  an explicit dereference). The caller has checked the basic conditions
   --  (atomic variable appearing and Atomic_Sync not disabled). This function
   --  checks if atomic synchronization is required and if so sets the flag
   --  and if appropriate generates a warning (in -gnatw.n mode).

   procedure Adjust_Condition (N : Node_Id);
   --  The node N is an expression whose root-type is Boolean, and which
   --  represents a boolean value used as a condition (i.e. a True/False
   --  value). This routine handles the case of C and Fortran convention
   --  boolean types, which have zero/non-zero semantics rather than the normal
   --  0/1 semantics, and also the case of an enumeration rep clause that
   --  specifies a non-standard representation. On return, node N always has
   --  the type Standard.Boolean, with a value that is a standard Boolean
   --  values of 0/1 for False/True. This procedure is used in two situations.
   --  First, the processing for a condition field always calls
   --  Adjust_Condition, so that the boolean value presented to the backend is
   --  a standard value. Second, for the code for boolean operations such as
   --  AND, Adjust_Condition is called on both operands, and then the operation
   --  is done in the domain of Standard_Boolean, then Adjust_Result_Type is
   --  called on the result to possibly reset the original type. This procedure
   --  also takes care of validity checking if Validity_Checks = Tests.

   procedure Adjust_Result_Type (N : Node_Id; T : Entity_Id);
   --  The processing of boolean operations like AND uses the procedure
   --  Adjust_Condition so that it can operate on Standard.Boolean, which is
   --  the only boolean type on which the backend needs to be able to implement
   --  such operators. This means that the result is also of type
   --  Standard.Boolean. In general the type must be reset back to the original
   --  type to get proper semantics, and that is the purpose of this procedure.
   --  N is the node (of type Standard.Boolean), and T is the desired type. As
   --  an optimization, this procedure leaves the type as Standard.Boolean in
   --  contexts where this is permissible (in particular for Condition fields,
   --  and for operands of other logical operations higher up the tree). The
   --  call to this procedure is completely ignored if the argument N is not of
   --  type Boolean.

   procedure Append_Freeze_Action (T : Entity_Id; N : Node_Id);
   --  Add a new freeze action for the given type. The freeze action is
   --  attached to the freeze node for the type. Actions will be elaborated in
   --  the order in which they are added. Note that the added node is not
   --  analyzed. The analyze call is found in Exp_Ch13.Expand_N_Freeze_Entity.

   procedure Append_Freeze_Actions (T : Entity_Id; L : List_Id);
   --  Adds the given list of freeze actions (declarations or statements) for
   --  the given type. The freeze actions are attached to the freeze node for
   --  the type. Actions will be elaborated in the order in which they are
   --  added, and the actions within the list will be elaborated in list order.
   --  Note that the added nodes are not analyzed. The analyze call is found in
   --  Exp_Ch13.Expand_N_Freeze_Entity.

   procedure Build_Allocate_Deallocate_Proc
     (N           : Node_Id;
      Is_Allocate : Boolean);
   --  Create a custom Allocate/Deallocate to be associated with an allocation
   --  or deallocation:
   --
   --    1) controlled objects
   --    2) class-wide objects
   --    3) any kind of object on a subpool
   --
   --  N must be an allocator or the declaration of a temporary variable which
   --  represents the expression of the original allocator node, otherwise N
   --  must be a free statement. If flag Is_Allocate is set, the generated
   --  routine is allocate, deallocate otherwise.

   function Build_Runtime_Call (Loc : Source_Ptr; RE : RE_Id) return Node_Id;
   --  Build an N_Procedure_Call_Statement calling the given runtime entity.
   --  The call has no parameters. The first argument provides the location
   --  information for the tree and for error messages. The call node is not
   --  analyzed on return, the caller is responsible for analyzing it.

   function Build_Task_Image_Decls
     (Loc          : Source_Ptr;
      Id_Ref       : Node_Id;
      A_Type       : Entity_Id;
      In_Init_Proc : Boolean := False) return List_Id;
   --  Build declaration for a variable that holds an identifying string to be
   --  used as a task name. Id_Ref is an identifier if the task is a variable,
   --  and a selected or indexed component if the task is component of an
   --  object. If it is an indexed component, A_Type is the corresponding array
   --  type. Its index types are used to build the string as an image of the
   --  index values. For composite types, the result includes two declarations:
   --  one for a generated function that computes the image without using
   --  concatenation, and one for the variable that holds the result.
   --
   --  If In_Init_Proc is true, the call is part of the initialization of
   --  a component of a composite type, and the enclosing initialization
   --  procedure must be flagged as using the secondary stack. If In_Init_Proc
   --  is false, the call is for a stand-alone object, and the generated
   --  function itself must do its own cleanups.

   function Component_May_Be_Bit_Aligned (Comp : Entity_Id) return Boolean;
   --  This function is in charge of detecting record components that may
   --  cause trouble in the back end if an attempt is made to assign the
   --  component. The back end can handle such assignments with no problem if
   --  the components involved are small (64-bits or less) records or scalar
   --  items (including bit-packed arrays represented with modular types) or
   --  are both aligned on a byte boundary (starting on a byte boundary, and
   --  occupying an integral number of bytes).
   --
   --  However, problems arise for records larger than 64 bits, or for arrays
   --  (other than bit-packed arrays represented with a modular type) if the
   --  component starts on a non-byte boundary, or does not occupy an integral
   --  number of bytes (i.e. there are some bits possibly shared with fields
   --  at the start or beginning of the component). The back end cannot handle
   --  loading and storing such components in a single operation.
   --
   --  This function is used to detect the troublesome situation. it is
   --  conservative in the sense that it produces True unless it knows for
   --  sure that the component is safe (as outlined in the first paragraph
   --  above). The code generation for record and array assignment checks for
   --  trouble using this function, and if so the assignment is generated
   --  component-wise, which the back end is required to handle correctly.
   --
   --  Note that in GNAT 3, the back end will reject such components anyway,
   --  so the hard work in checking for this case is wasted in GNAT 3, but
   --  it is harmless, so it is easier to do it in all cases, rather than
   --  conditionalize it in GNAT 5 or beyond.

   procedure Convert_To_Actual_Subtype (Exp : Node_Id);
   --  The Etype of an expression is the nominal type of the expression,
   --  not the actual subtype. Often these are the same, but not always.
   --  For example, a reference to a formal of unconstrained type has the
   --  unconstrained type as its Etype, but the actual subtype is obtained by
   --  applying the actual bounds. This routine is given an expression, Exp,
   --  and (if necessary), replaces it using Rewrite, with a conversion to
   --  the actual subtype, building the actual subtype if necessary. If the
   --  expression is already of the requested type, then it is unchanged.

   function Corresponding_Runtime_Package (Typ : Entity_Id) return RTU_Id;
   --  Return the id of the runtime package that will provide support for
   --  concurrent type Typ. Currently only protected types are supported,
   --  and the returned value is one of the following:
   --    System_Tasking_Protected_Objects
   --    System_Tasking_Protected_Objects_Entries
   --    System_Tasking_Protected_Objects_Single_Entry

   function Current_Sem_Unit_Declarations return List_Id;
   --  Return the place where it is fine to insert declarations for the
   --  current semantic unit. If the unit is a package body, return the
   --  visible declarations of the corresponding spec. For RCI stubs, this
   --  is necessary because the point at which they are generated may not
   --  be the earliest point at which they are used.

   function Duplicate_Subexpr
     (Exp      : Node_Id;
      Name_Req : Boolean := False) return Node_Id;
   --  Given the node for a subexpression, this function makes a logical copy
   --  of the subexpression, and returns it. This is intended for use when the
   --  expansion of an expression needs to repeat part of it. For example,
   --  replacing a**2 by a*a requires two references to a which may be a
   --  complex subexpression. Duplicate_Subexpr guarantees not to duplicate
   --  side effects. If necessary, it generates actions to save the expression
   --  value in a temporary, inserting these actions into the tree using
   --  Insert_Actions with Exp as the insertion location. The original
   --  expression and the returned result then become references to this saved
   --  value. Exp must be analyzed on entry. On return, Exp is analyzed, but
   --  the caller is responsible for analyzing the returned copy after it is
   --  attached to the tree. The Name_Req flag is set to ensure that the result
   --  is suitable for use in a context requiring name (e.g. the prefix of an
   --  attribute reference).
   --
   --  Note that if there are any run time checks in Exp, these same checks
   --  will be duplicated in the returned duplicated expression. The two
   --  following functions allow this behavior to be modified.

   function Duplicate_Subexpr_No_Checks
     (Exp      : Node_Id;
      Name_Req : Boolean := False) return Node_Id;
   --  Identical in effect to Duplicate_Subexpr, except that Remove_Checks
   --  is called on the result, so that the duplicated expression does not
   --  include checks. This is appropriate for use when Exp, the original
   --  expression is unconditionally elaborated before the duplicated
   --  expression, so that there is no need to repeat any checks.

   function Duplicate_Subexpr_Move_Checks
     (Exp      : Node_Id;
      Name_Req : Boolean := False) return Node_Id;
   --  Identical in effect to Duplicate_Subexpr, except that Remove_Checks is
   --  called on Exp after the duplication is complete, so that the original
   --  expression does not include checks. In this case the result returned
   --  (the duplicated expression) will retain the original checks. This is
   --  appropriate for use when the duplicated expression is sure to be
   --  elaborated before the original expression Exp, so that there is no need
   --  to repeat the checks.

   procedure Ensure_Defined (Typ : Entity_Id; N : Node_Id);
   --  This procedure ensures that type referenced by Typ is defined. For the
   --  case of a type other than an Itype, nothing needs to be done, since
   --  all such types have declaration nodes. For Itypes, an N_Itype_Reference
   --  node is generated and inserted at the given node N. This is typically
   --  used to ensure that an Itype is properly defined outside a conditional
   --  construct when it is referenced in more than one branch.

   function Entry_Names_OK return Boolean;
   --  Determine whether it is appropriate to dynamically allocate strings
   --  which represent entry [family member] names. These strings are created
   --  by the compiler and used by GDB.

   procedure Evaluate_Name (Nam : Node_Id);
   --  Remove the all side effects from a name which appears as part of an
   --  object renaming declaration. More comments are needed here that explain
   --  how this differs from Force_Evaluation and Remove_Side_Effects ???

   procedure Evolve_And_Then (Cond : in out Node_Id; Cond1 : Node_Id);
   --  Rewrites Cond with the expression: Cond and then Cond1. If Cond is
   --  Empty, then simply returns Cond1 (this allows the use of Empty to
   --  initialize a series of checks evolved by this routine, with a final
   --  result of Empty indicating that no checks were required). The Sloc field
   --  of the constructed N_And_Then node is copied from Cond1.

   procedure Evolve_Or_Else (Cond : in out Node_Id; Cond1 : Node_Id);
   --  Rewrites Cond with the expression: Cond or else Cond1. If Cond is Empty,
   --  then simply returns Cond1 (this allows the use of Empty to initialize a
   --  series of checks evolved by this routine, with a final result of Empty
   --  indicating that no checks were required). The Sloc field of the
   --  constructed N_Or_Else node is copied from Cond1.

   function Find_Prim_Op (T : Entity_Id; Name : Name_Id) return Entity_Id;
   --  Find the first primitive operation of type T whose name is 'Name'.
   --  This function allows the use of a primitive operation which is not

   --  then the reference is to an operation of the corresponding root type.
   --  Raises Program_Error exception if no primitive operation is found.
   --  This is normally an internal error, but in some cases is an expected

   function Find_Protection_Object (Scop : Entity_Id) return Entity_Id;
   --  Traverse the scope stack starting from Scop and look for an entry,
   --  entry family, or a subprogram that has a Protection_Object and return
   --  it. Raises Program_Error if no such entity is found since the context

   --  object.

   function Find_Protection_Type (Conc_Typ : Entity_Id) return Entity_Id;

   procedure Force_Evaluation

   --  Force the evaluation of the expression right away. Similar behavior
   --  to Remove_Side_Effects when Variable_Ref is set to TRUE. That is to
   --  say, it removes the side-effects and captures the values of the

   function Fully_Qualified_Name_String (E : Entity_Id) return String_Id;

   --  condition, and then checks if the condition is known false, known true,
   --  or not known at all. In the first two cases, Get_Current_Condition will
   --  return with Op set to the appropriate conditional operator (inverted if
   --  the condition is known false), and Val set to the constant value. If the
   --  condition is not known, then Op and Val are set for the empty case
   --  (N_Empty and Empty).
   --
   --  The check for whether the condition is true/false unknown depends
   --  on the case:

   --  The case concerned is "return Id.all;".

   function Is_Renamed_Object (N : Node_Id) return Boolean;

   --  considered to be a renamed object if either it is the Name of an object

   --
   --  We consider that a (1 .. 2) is a renamed object since it is the prefix
   --  of the name in the renaming declaration.

   function Known_Non_Negative (Opnd : Node_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Given a node for a subexpression, determines if it represents a value
   --  that cannot possibly be negative, and if so returns True. A value of

   function Make_Invariant_Call (Expr : Node_Id) return Node_Id;
   --  Expr is an object of a type which Has_Invariants set (and which thus
   --  also has an Invariant_Procedure set). If invariants are enabled, this

   function May_Generate_Large_Temp (Typ : Entity_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Determines if the given type, Typ, may require a large temporary of the
   --  kind that causes back-end trouble if stack checking is enabled. The
   --  result is True only the size of the type is known at compile time and
   --  large, where large is defined heuristically by the body of this routine.
   --  The purpose of this routine is to help avoid generating troublesome
   --  temporaries that interfere with stack checking mechanism. Note that the
   --  caller has to check whether stack checking is actually enabled in order
   --  to guide the expansion (typically of a function call).

   function Needs_Constant_Address
     (Decl : Node_Id;
      Typ  : Entity_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Check whether the expression in an address clause is restricted to

   --  or is controlled.

   function Needs_Finalization (T : Entity_Id) return Boolean;
   --  True if type T is controlled, or has controlled subcomponents. Also
   --  True if T is a class-wide type, because some type extension might add

   function OK_To_Do_Constant_Replacement (E : Entity_Id) return Boolean;
   --  This function is used when testing whether or not to replace a reference
   --  to entity E by a known constant value. Such replacement must be done
   --  only in a scope known to be safe for such replacements. In particular,
   --  if we are within a subprogram and the entity E is declared outside the
   --  subprogram then we cannot do the replacement, since we do not attempt to
   --  trace subprogram call flow. It is also unsafe to replace statically
   --  allocated values (since they can be modified outside the scope), and we
   --  also inhibit replacement of Volatile or aliased objects since their
   --  address might be captured in a way we do not detect. A value of True is
   --  returned only if the replacement is safe.

   function Possible_Bit_Aligned_Component (N : Node_Id) return Boolean;
   --  This function is used during processing the assignment of a record or
   --  indexed component. The argument N is either the left hand or right hand
   --  side of an assignment, and this function determines if there is a record
   --  component reference where the record may be bit aligned in a manner that
   --  causes trouble for the back end (see Component_May_Be_Bit_Aligned for
   --  further details).

   procedure Process_Statements_For_Controlled_Objects (N : Node_Id);

      Variable_Ref : Boolean := False);
   --  Given the node for a subexpression, this function replaces the node if
   --  necessary by an equivalent subexpression that is guaranteed to be side
   --  effect free. This is done by extracting any actions that could cause
   --  side effects, and inserting them using Insert_Actions into the tree to
   --  which Exp is attached. Exp must be analyzed and resolved before the call
   --  and is analyzed and resolved on return. The Name_Req may only be set to
   --  True if Exp has the form of a name, and the effect is to guarantee that
   --  any replacement maintains the form of name. If Variable_Ref is set to
   --  TRUE, a variable is considered as side effect (used in implementing
   --  Force_Evaluation). Note: after call to Remove_Side_Effects, it is safe
   --  to call New_Copy_Tree to obtain a copy of the resulting expression.

   function Represented_As_Scalar (T : Entity_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Returns True iff the implementation of this type in code generation
   --  terms is scalar. This is true for scalars in the Ada sense, and for

   function Safe_Unchecked_Type_Conversion (Exp : Node_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Given the node for an N_Unchecked_Type_Conversion, return True if this
   --  is an unchecked conversion that Gigi can handle directly. Otherwise
   --  return False if it is one for which the front end must provide a
   --  temporary. Note that the node need not be analyzed, and thus the Etype
   --  field may not be set, but in that case it must be the case that the
   --  Subtype_Mark field of the node is set/analyzed.

   procedure Set_Current_Value_Condition (Cnode : Node_Id);
   --  Cnode is N_If_Statement, N_Elsif_Part, or N_Iteration_Scheme (the latter
   --  when a WHILE condition is present). This call checks whether Condition
   --  (Cnode) has embedded expressions of a form that should result in setting
   --  the Current_Value field of one or more entities, and if so sets these
   --  fields to point to Cnode.

   procedure Set_Elaboration_Flag (N : Node_Id; Spec_Id : Entity_Id);
   --  N is the node for a subprogram or generic body, and Spec_Id is the
   --  entity for the corresponding spec. If an elaboration entity is defined,
   --  then this procedure generates an assignment statement to set it True,
   --  immediately after the body is elaborated. However, no assignment is
   --  generated in the case of library level procedures, since the setting of
   --  the flag in this case is generated in the binder. We do that so that we
   --  can detect cases where this is the only elaboration action that is
   --  required.

   procedure Set_Renamed_Subprogram (N : Node_Id; E : Entity_Id);
   --  N is an node which is an entity name that represents the name of a
   --  renamed subprogram. The node is rewritten to be an identifier that

   procedure Silly_Boolean_Array_Not_Test (N : Node_Id; T : Entity_Id);
   --  N is the node for a boolean array NOT operation, and T is the type of
   --  the array. This routine deals with the silly case where the subtype of
   --  the boolean array is False..False or True..True, where it is required

   procedure Silly_Boolean_Array_Xor_Test (N : Node_Id; T : Entity_Id);
   --  N is the node for a boolean array XOR operation, and T is the type of

   --  Determines if Typ is a composite type that has within it (looking down
   --  recursively at any subcomponents), a record type which has component
   --  that may be bit aligned (see Possible_Bit_Aligned_Component). The result
