32 -- This package contains routines for scanning signed Integer values for use
33 -- in Text_IO.Integer_IO, and the Value attribute.
35 package System.Val_Int is
36 pragma Pure;
38 function Scan_Integer
39 (Str : String;
40 Ptr : not null access Integer;
41 Max : Integer) return Integer;
42 -- This function scans the string starting at Str (Ptr.all) for a valid
43 -- integer according to the syntax described in (RM 3.5(43)). The substring
44 -- scanned extends no further than Str (Max). There are three cases for the
45 -- return:
47 -- If a valid integer is found after scanning past any initial spaces, then
48 -- Ptr.all is updated past the last character of the integer (but trailing
49 -- spaces are not scanned out).
51 -- If no valid integer is found, then Ptr.all points either to an initial
52 -- non-digit character, or to Max + 1 if the field is all spaces and the
53 -- exception Constraint_Error is raised.
55 -- If a syntactically valid integer is scanned, but the value is out of
56 -- range, or, in the based case, the base value is out of range or there
57 -- is an out of range digit, then Ptr.all points past the integer, and
58 -- Constraint_Error is raised.
60 -- Note: these rules correspond to the requirements for leaving the pointer
61 -- positioned in Text_Io.Get
63 -- Note: if Str is null, i.e. if Max is less than Ptr, then this is a
64 -- special case of an all-blank string, and Ptr is unchanged, and hence
65 -- is greater than Max as required in this case.
67 function Value_Integer (Str : String) return Integer;
68 -- Used in computing X'Value (Str) where X is a signed integer type whose
69 -- base range does not exceed the base range of Integer. Str is the string
70 -- argument of the attribute. Constraint_Error is raised if the string is
71 -- malformed, or if the value is out of range.
