32 -- Subprograms for manipulation of wide character sequences. Note that in
33 -- this package, wide character and wide wide character are not distinguished
34 -- since this package is basically concerned with syntactic notions, and it
35 -- deals with Char_Code values, rather than values of actual Ada types.

39 package Widechar is
41 Wide_Char_Byte_Count : Nat := 0;
42 -- This value is incremented whenever Scan_Wide or Skip_Wide is called.
43 -- The amount added is the length of the wide character sequence minus
44 -- one. This means that the count that accumulates here represents the
45 -- difference between the length in characters and the length in bytes.
46 -- This is used for checking the line length in characters.
48 function Length_Wide return Nat;
49 -- Returns the maximum length in characters for the escape sequence that
50 -- is used to encode wide character literals outside the ASCII range. Used
51 -- only in the implementation of the attribute Width for Wide_Character
52 -- and Wide_Wide_Character.

59 -- On entry S (P) points to the first character in the source text for
60 -- a wide character (i.e. to an ESC character, a left bracket, or an
61 -- upper half character, depending on the representation method). A
62 -- single wide character is scanned. If no error is found, the value
63 -- stored in C is the code for this wide character, P is updated past
64 -- the sequence and Err is set to False. If an error is found, then
65 -- P points to the improper character, C is undefined, and Err is
66 -- set to True.

72 -- The escape sequence (including any leading ESC character) for the
73 -- given character code is stored starting at S (P + 1), and on return
74 -- P points to the last stored character (i.e. P is the count of stored
75 -- characters on entry and exit, and the escape sequence is appended to
76 -- the end of the stored string). The character code C represents a code
77 -- originally constructed by Scan_Wide, so it is known to be in a range
78 -- that is appropriate for the encoding method in use.

82 -- sequence or to an upper half character if the encoding method uses the
83 -- upper bit, or to a left bracket if the brackets encoding method is in
84 -- use. On exit, P is bumped past the wide character sequence. No error
85 -- checking is done, since this is only used on escape sequences generated
86 -- by Set_Wide, which are known to be correct.
88 procedure Skip_Wide (S : Source_Buffer_Ptr; P : in out Source_Ptr);
