26 -- This package contains the routines to output error messages. They are
27 -- basically system independent, however in some environments, e.g. when the
28 -- parser is embedded into an editor, it may be appropriate to replace the
29 -- implementation of this package.

44 -- Id of current messages. Used to post file name when unit changes. This
45 -- is initialized to Main_Source_File at the start of a compilation, which
46 -- means that no file names will be output unless there are errors in
47 -- units other than the main unit. However, if the main unit has a pragma
48 -- Source_Reference line, then this is initialized to No_Source_File, to
49 -- force an initial reference to the real source file name.
51 Raise_Exception_On_Error : Nat renames Err_Vars.Raise_Exception_On_Error;
52 -- If this value is non-zero, then any attempt to generate an error

54 -- is not output. This is used for defending against junk resulting from
55 -- illegalities, and also for substitution of more appropriate error
56 -- messages from higher semantic levels. It is a counter so that the
57 -- increment/decrement protocol nests neatly.

65 -- If this switch is False, then these sequences are still recognized (for
66 -- the purposes of implementing the pattern matching in pragmas Warnings
67 -- (Off,..) and Warning_As_Pragma(...) but do not result in adding the
68 -- error message tag. The -gnatw.d switch sets this flag True, -gnatw.D
69 -- sets this flag False.
71 -----------------------------------
72 -- Suppression of Error Messages --
73 -----------------------------------
75 -- In an effort to reduce the impact of redundant error messages, the
76 -- error output routines in this package normally suppress certain
77 -- classes of messages as follows:
79 -- 1. Identical messages placed at the same point in the text. Such
80 -- duplicate error message result for example from rescanning
81 -- sections of the text that contain lexical errors. Only one of
82 -- such a set of duplicate messages is output, and the rest are
83 -- suppressed.
85 -- 2. If more than one parser message is generated for a single source
86 -- line, then only the first message is output, the remaining
87 -- messages on the same line are suppressed.
89 -- 3. If a message is posted on a node for which a message has been
90 -- previously posted, then only the first message is retained. The
91 -- Error_Posted flag is used to detect such multiple postings. Note
92 -- that this only applies to semantic messages, since otherwise
93 -- for parser messages, this would be a special case of case 2.
95 -- 4. If a message is posted on a node whose Etype or Entity
96 -- fields reference entities on which an error message has
97 -- already been placed, as indicated by the Error_Posted flag
98 -- being set on these entities, then the message is suppressed.
100 -- 5. If a message attempts to insert an Error node, or a direct
101 -- reference to the Any_Type node, then the message is suppressed.
103 -- 6. Note that cases 2-5 only apply to error messages, not warning
104 -- messages. Warning messages are only suppressed for case 1, and
105 -- when they come from other than the main extended unit.
107 -- 7. If an error or warning references an internal name, and we have
108 -- already placed an error (not warning) message at that location,
109 -- then we assume this is cascaded junk and delete the message.
111 -- This normal suppression action may be overridden in cases 2-5 (but not
112 -- in case 1 or 7 by setting All_Errors mode, or by setting the special
113 -- unconditional message insertion character (!) as described below.
115 ---------------------------------------------------------
116 -- Error Message Text and Message Insertion Characters --
117 ---------------------------------------------------------
119 -- Error message text strings are composed of lower case letters, digits
120 -- and the special characters space, comma, period, colon and semicolon,
121 -- apostrophe and parentheses. Special insertion characters can also
122 -- appear which cause the error message circuit to modify the given
123 -- string as follows:
125 -- Insertion character % (Percent: insert name from Names table)
126 -- The character % is replaced by the text for the name specified by
127 -- the Name_Id value stored in Error_Msg_Name_1. A blank precedes the
128 -- name if it is preceded by a non-blank character other than left
129 -- parenthesis. The name is enclosed in quotes unless manual quotation
130 -- mode is set. If the Name_Id is set to No_Name, then no insertion
131 -- occurs; if the Name_Id is set to Error_Name, then the string
132 -- <error> is inserted. A second and third % may appear in a single
133 -- message, similarly replaced by the names which are specified by the
134 -- Name_Id values stored in Error_Msg_Name_2 and Error_Msg_Name_3. The
135 -- names are decoded and cased according to the current identifier
136 -- casing mode. Note: if a unit name ending with %b or %s is passed
137 -- for this kind of insertion, this suffix is simply stripped. Use a
138 -- unit name insertion ($) to process the suffix.
140 -- Note: the special names _xxx (xxx = Pre/Post/Invariant) are changed
141 -- to insert the string xxx'Class into the message.
143 -- Insertion character %% (Double percent: insert literal name)
144 -- The character sequence %% acts as described above for %, except
145 -- that the name is simply obtained with Get_Name_String and is not
146 -- decoded or cased, it is inserted literally from the names table.
147 -- A trailing %b or %s is not treated specially.
149 -- Note: the special names _xxx (xxx = Pre/Post/Invariant) are changed
150 -- to insert the string xxx'Class into the message.
152 -- Insertion character $ (Dollar: insert unit name from Names table)
153 -- The character $ is treated similarly to %, except that the name is
154 -- obtained from the Unit_Name_Type value in Error_Msg_Unit_1 and
155 -- Error_Msg_Unit_2, as provided by Get_Unit_Name_String in package
156 -- Uname. Note that this name includes the postfix (spec) or (body)
157 -- strings. If this postfix is not required, use the normal % insertion
158 -- for the unit name.
160 -- Insertion character { (Left brace: insert file name from names table)
161 -- The character { is treated similarly to %, except that the input
162 -- value is a File_Name_Type value stored in Error_Msg_File_1 or
163 -- Error_Msg_File_2 or Error_Msg_File_3. The value is output literally,
164 -- enclosed in quotes as for %, but the case is not modified, the
165 -- insertion is the exact string stored in the names table without
166 -- adjusting the casing.
168 -- Insertion character * (Asterisk: insert reserved word name)
169 -- The insertion character * is treated exactly like % except that the
170 -- resulting name is cased according to the default conventions for
171 -- reserved words (see package Scans).
173 -- Insertion character & (Ampersand: insert name from node)
174 -- The insertion character & is treated similarly to %, except that
175 -- the name is taken from the Chars field of the given node, and may
176 -- refer to a child unit name, or a selected component. The casing is,
177 -- if possible, taken from the original source reference, which is
178 -- obtained from the Sloc field of the given node or nodes. If no Sloc
179 -- is available (happens e.g. for nodes in package Standard), then the
180 -- default case (see Scans spec) is used. The nodes to be used are
181 -- stored in Error_Msg_Node_1, Error_Msg_Node_2. No insertion occurs
182 -- for the Empty node, and the Error node results in the insertion of
183 -- the characters <error>. In addition, if the special global variable
184 -- Error_Msg_Qual_Level is non-zero, then the reference will include
185 -- up to the given number of levels of qualification, using the scope
186 -- chain.
188 -- Note: the special names _xxx (xxx = Pre/Post/Invariant) are changed
189 -- to insert the string xxx'Class into the message.
191 -- Insertion character # (Pound: insert line number reference)
192 -- The character # is replaced by the string indicating the source
193 -- position stored in Error_Msg_Sloc. There are three cases:
195 -- for package Standard: in package Standard
196 -- for locations in current file: at line nnn:ccc
197 -- for locations in other files: at filename:nnn:ccc
199 -- By convention, the # insertion character is only used at the end of
200 -- an error message, so the above strings only appear as the last
201 -- characters of an error message. The only exceptions to this rule
202 -- are that an RM reference may follow in the form (RM .....) and a
203 -- right parenthesis may immediately follow the #. In the case of
204 -- continued messages, # can only appear at the end of a group of
205 -- continuation messages, except that \\ messages which always start
206 -- a new line end the sequence from the point of view of this rule.
207 -- The idea is that for any use of -gnatj, it will still be the case
208 -- that a location reference appears only at the end of a line.
210 -- Note: the output of the string "at " is suppressed if the string
211 -- " from" or " from " immediately precedes the insertion character #.
212 -- Certain messages read better with from than at.
214 -- Insertion character } (Right brace: insert type reference)
215 -- The character } is replaced by a string describing the type
216 -- referenced by the entity whose Id is stored in Error_Msg_Node_1.
217 -- the string gives the name or description of the type, and also
218 -- where appropriate the location of its declaration. Special cases
219 -- like "some integer type" are handled appropriately. Only one } is
220 -- allowed in a message, since there is not enough room for two (the
221 -- insertion can be quite long, including a file name). In addition, if
222 -- the special global variable Error_Msg_Qual_Level is non-zero, then
223 -- the reference will include up to the given number of levels of
224 -- qualification, using the scope chain.
226 -- Insertion character @ (At: insert column number reference)
227 -- The character @ is replaced by null if the RM_Column_Check mode is
228 -- off (False). If the switch is on (True), then @ is replaced by the
229 -- text string " in column nnn" where nnn is the decimal
230 -- representation of the column number stored in Error_Msg_Col plus
231 -- one (the plus one is because the number is stored 0-origin and
232 -- displayed 1-origin).
234 -- Insertion character ^ (Caret: insert integer value)
235 -- The character ^ is replaced by the decimal conversion of the Uint
236 -- value stored in Error_Msg_Uint_1, with a possible leading minus.
237 -- A second ^ may occur in the message, in which case it is replaced
238 -- by the decimal conversion of the Uint value in Error_Msg_Uint_2.
240 -- Insertion character > (Greater Than: run time name)
241 -- The character > is replaced by a string of the form (name) if
242 -- Targparm scanned out a Run_Time_Name (see package Targparm for
243 -- details). The name is enclosed in parentheses and output in mixed
244 -- case mode (upper case after any space in the name). If no run time
245 -- name is defined, this insertion character has no effect.
247 -- Insertion character ! (Exclamation: unconditional message)
248 -- The character ! appearing anywhere in the text of a message makes
249 -- the message unconditional which means that it is output even if it
250 -- would normally be suppressed. See section above for a description
251 -- of the cases in which messages are normally suppressed. Note that
252 -- in the case of warnings, the meaning is that the warning should not
253 -- be removed in dead code (that's the only time that the use of !
254 -- has any effect for a warning).
256 -- Note: the presence of ! is ignored in continuation messages (i.e.
257 -- messages starting with the \ insertion character). The effect of the
258 -- use of ! in a parent message automatically applies to all of its
259 -- continuation messages (since we clearly don't want any case in which
260 -- continuations are separated from the main message). It is allowable
261 -- to put ! in continuation messages, and the usual style is to include
262 -- it, since it makes it clear that the continuation is part of an
263 -- unconditional message.
265 -- Insertion character !! (Double exclamation: unconditional warning)
266 -- Normally warning messages issued in other than the main unit are
267 -- suppressed. If the message contains !! then this suppression is
268 -- avoided. This is currently used by the Compile_Time_Warning pragma
269 -- to ensure the message for a with'ed unit is output, and for warnings
270 -- on ineffective back-end inlining, which is detected in units that
271 -- contain subprograms to be inlined in the main program. It is also
272 -- used by the Compiler_Unit_Warning pragma for similar reasons.
274 -- Insertion character ? (Question: warning message)
275 -- The character ? appearing anywhere in a message makes the message
276 -- warning instead of a normal error message, and the text of the
277 -- message will be preceded by "warning:" in the normal case. The
278 -- handling of warnings if further controlled by the Warning_Mode
279 -- option (-w switch), see package Opt for further details, and also by
280 -- the current setting from pragma Warnings. This pragma applies only
281 -- to warnings issued from the semantic phase (not the parser), but
282 -- currently all relevant warnings are posted by the semantic phase
283 -- anyway. Messages starting with (style) are also treated as warning
284 -- messages.
286 -- Note: when a warning message is output, the text of the message is
287 -- preceded by "warning: " in the normal case. An exception to this
288 -- rule occurs when the text of the message starts with "info: " in
289 -- which case this string is not prepended. This allows callers to
290 -- label certain warnings as informational messages, rather than as
291 -- warning messages requiring some action.
293 -- Note: the presence of ? is ignored in continuation messages (i.e.
294 -- messages starting with the \ insertion character). The warning
295 -- status of continuations is determined only by the parent message
296 -- which is being continued. It is allowable to put ? in continuation
297 -- messages, and the usual style is to include it, since it makes it
298 -- clear that the continuation is part of a warning message, but it is
299 -- not necessary to go through any computational effort to include it.
301 -- Note: this usage is obsolete, use ?? ?*? ?$? ?x? ?X? to specify
302 -- the string to be added when Warn_Doc_Switch is set to True. If this
303 -- switch is True, then for simple ? messages it has no effect. This
304 -- simple form is to ease transition and will be removed later.
306 -- Insertion character ?? (Two question marks: default warning)
307 -- Like ?, but if the flag Warn_Doc_Switch is True, adds the string
308 -- "[enabled by default]" at the end of the warning message. For
309 -- continuations, use this in each continuation message.
311 -- Insertion character ?x? (warning with switch)
312 -- Like ?, but if the flag Warn_Doc_Switch is True, adds the string
313 -- "[-gnatwx]" at the end of the warning message. x is a lower case
314 -- letter. For continuations, use this on each continuation message.
316 -- Insertion character ?X? (warning with dot switch)
317 -- Like ?, but if the flag Warn_Doc_Switch is True, adds the string
318 -- "[-gnatw.x]" at the end of the warning message. X is an upper case
319 -- letter corresponding to the lower case letter x in the message.
320 -- For continuations, use this on each continuation message.
322 -- Insertion character ?*? (restriction warning)
323 -- Like ?, but if the flag Warn_Doc_Switch is True, adds the string
324 -- "[restriction warning]" at the end of the warning message. For
325 -- continuations, use this on each continuation message.
327 -- Insertion character ?$? (elaboration information messages)
328 -- Like ?, but if the flag Warn_Doc_Switch is True, adds the string
329 -- "[-gnatel]" at the end of the info message. This is used for the
330 -- messages generated by the switch -gnatel. For continuations, use
331 -- this on each continuation message.
333 -- Insertion character < (Less Than: conditional warning message)
334 -- The character < appearing anywhere in a message is used for a
335 -- conditional error message. If Error_Msg_Warn is True, then the
336 -- effect is the same as ? described above, and in particular << <X<
337 -- <x< <$< <*< have the effect of ?? ?X? ?x? ?$? ?*? respectively. If
338 -- Error_Msg_Warn is False, then the < << or <X< sequence is ignored
339 -- and the message is treated as a error rather than a warning.
341 -- Insertion character A-Z (Upper case letter: Ada reserved word)
342 -- If two or more upper case letters appear in the message, they are
343 -- taken as an Ada reserved word, and are converted to the default
344 -- case for reserved words (see Scans package spec). Surrounding
345 -- quotes are added unless manual quotation mode is currently set.
346 -- RM and SPARK are special exceptions, they are never treated as
347 -- keywords, and just appear verbatim, with no surrounding quotes.
348 -- As a special case, 'R'M is used instead of RM (which is not treated
349 -- as a keyword) to indicate when the reference to the RM is possibly
350 -- not useful anymore, and could possibly be replaced by a comment
351 -- in the source.
353 -- Insertion character ` (Backquote: set manual quotation mode)
354 -- The backquote character always appears in pairs. Each backquote of
355 -- the pair is replaced by a double quote character. In addition, any
356 -- reserved keywords, or name insertions between these backquotes are
357 -- not surrounded by the usual automatic double quotes. See the
358 -- section below on manual quotation mode for further details.
360 -- Insertion character ' (Quote: literal character)
361 -- Precedes a character which is placed literally into the message.
362 -- Used to insert characters into messages that are one of the
363 -- insertion characters defined here. Also used for insertion of
364 -- upper case letter sequences not to be treated as keywords.
366 -- Insertion character \ (Backslash: continuation message)
367 -- Indicates that the message is a continuation of a message
368 -- previously posted. This is used to ensure that such groups of
369 -- messages are treated as a unit. The \ character must be the first
370 -- character of the message text.
372 -- Insertion character \\ (Two backslashes: continuation with new line)
373 -- This differs from \ only in -gnatjnn mode (Error_Message_Line_Length
374 -- set non-zero). This sequence forces a new line to start even when
375 -- continuations are being gathered into a single message.
377 -- Insertion character | (Vertical bar: non-serious error)
378 -- By default, error messages (other than warning messages) are
379 -- considered to be fatal error messages which prevent expansion or
380 -- generation of code in the presence of the -gnatQ switch. If the
381 -- insertion character | appears, the message is considered to be
382 -- non-serious, and does not cause Serious_Errors_Detected to be
383 -- incremented (so expansion is not prevented by such a msg). This
384 -- insertion character is ignored in continuation messages.
386 -- Insertion character ~ (Tilde: insert string)
387 -- Indicates that Error_Msg_String (1 .. Error_Msg_Strlen) is to be
388 -- inserted to replace the ~ character. The string is inserted in the
389 -- literal form it appears, without any action on special characters.
391 -- Insertion character [ (Left bracket: will/would be raised at run time)
392 -- This is used in messages about exceptions being raised at run-time.
393 -- If the current message is a warning message, then if the code is
394 -- executed, the exception will be raised, and [ inserts:
396 -- will be raised at run time
398 -- If the current message is an error message, then it is an error
399 -- because the exception would have been raised and [ inserts:
401 -- would have been raised at run time
403 -- Typically the message contains a < insertion which means that the
404 -- message is a warning or error depending on Error_Msg_Warn. This is
405 -- most typically used in the context of messages which are normally
406 -- warnings, but are errors in GNATprove mode, corresponding to the
407 -- permission in the definition of SPARK that allows an implementation
408 -- to reject a program as illegal if a situation arises in which the
409 -- compiler can determine that it is certain that a run-time check
410 -- would have fail if the statement was executed.
412 -- Insertion character ] (Right bracket: may/might be raised at run time)
413 -- This is like [ except that the insertion messages say may/might,
414 -- instead of will/would.
416 -- Insertion sequence "(style)" (style message)
417 -- This appears only at the start of the message (and not any of its
418 -- continuations, if any), and indicates that the message is a style
419 -- message. Style messages are also considered to be warnings, but
420 -- they do not get a tag.
422 -- Insertion sequence "info: " (information message)
423 -- This appears only at the start of the message (and not any of its
424 -- continuations, if any), and indicates that the message is an info
425 -- message. The message will be output with this prefix, and if there
426 -- are continuations that are not printed using the -gnatj switch they
427 -- will also have this prefix.
429 -- Insertion sequence "low: " or "medium: " or "high: " (check message)
430 -- This appears only at the start of the message (and not any of its
431 -- continuations, if any), and indicates that the message is a check
432 -- message. The message will be output with this prefix. Check
433 -- messages are not fatal (so are like info messages in that respect)
434 -- and are not controlled by pragma Warnings.
436 -----------------------------------------------------
437 -- Global Values Used for Error Message Insertions --
438 -----------------------------------------------------
440 -- The following global variables are essentially additional parameters
441 -- passed to the error message routine for insertion sequences described
442 -- above. The reason these are passed globally is that the insertion
443 -- mechanism is essentially an untyped one in which the appropriate
444 -- variables are set depending on the specific insertion characters used.
446 -- Note that is mandatory that the caller ensure that global variables
447 -- are set before the Error_Msg call, otherwise the result is undefined.

496 -----------------------------------------------------
498 -- Messages are generally all in lower case, except for inserted names
499 -- and appear in one of the following three forms:
501 -- error: text
502 -- warning: text
504 -- The prefixes error and warning are supplied automatically (depending
505 -- on the use of the ? insertion character), and the call to the error
506 -- message routine supplies the text. The "error: " prefix is omitted
507 -- in brief error message formats.
509 -- Reserved Ada keywords in the message are in the default keyword case
510 -- (determined from the given source program), surrounded by quotation
511 -- marks. This is achieved by spelling the reserved word in upper case
512 -- letters, which is recognized as a request for insertion of quotation
513 -- marks by the error text processor. Thus for example:
515 -- Error_Msg_AP ("IS expected");
517 -- would result in the output of one of the following:
519 -- error: "is" expected
520 -- error: "IS" expected
521 -- error: "Is" expected
523 -- the choice between these being made by looking at the casing convention
524 -- used for keywords (actually the first compilation unit keyword) in the
525 -- source file.
527 -- Note: a special exception is that RM is never treated as a keyword
528 -- but instead is copied literally into the message, this avoids the
529 -- need for writing 'R'M for all reference manual quotes. A similar
530 -- exception is applied to the occurrence of the string SPARK used in
531 -- error messages about the SPARK subset of Ada.
533 -- In the case of names, the default mode for the error text processor
534 -- is to surround the name by quotation marks automatically. The case
535 -- used for the identifier names is taken from the source program where
536 -- possible, and otherwise is the default casing convention taken from
537 -- the source file usage.
539 -- In some cases, better control over the placement of quote marks is
540 -- required. This is achieved using manual quotation mode. In this mode,
541 -- one or more insertion sequences is surrounded by backquote characters.
542 -- The backquote characters are output as double quote marks, and normal
543 -- automatic insertion of quotes is suppressed between the double quotes.
544 -- For example:
546 -- Error_Msg_AP ("`END &;` expected");
548 -- generates a message like
550 -- error: "end Open_Scope;" expected
552 -- where the node specifying the name Open_Scope has been stored in
553 -- Error_Msg_Node_1 prior to the call. The great majority of error
554 -- messages operates in normal quotation mode.
556 -- Note: the normal automatic insertion of spaces before insertion
557 -- sequences (such as those that come from & and %) is suppressed in
558 -- manual quotation mode, so blanks, if needed as in the above example,
559 -- must be explicitly present.
561 ----------------------------
562 -- Message ID Definitions --
563 ----------------------------
565 subtype Error_Msg_Id is Erroutc.Error_Msg_Id;
566 function "=" (Left, Right : Error_Msg_Id) return Boolean
567 renames Erroutc."=";
568 -- A type used to represent specific error messages. Used by the clients
569 -- of this package only in the context of the Get_Error_Id and
570 -- Change_Error_Text subprograms.
572 No_Error_Msg : constant Error_Msg_Id := Erroutc.No_Error_Msg;
573 -- A constant which is different from any value returned by Get_Error_Id.
574 -- Typically used by a client to indicate absense of a saved Id value.
576 Warning_Msg : Error_Msg_Id := No_Error_Msg;
577 -- This is set if a warning message is generated to the ID of the resulting
578 -- message. Continuation messages have no effect. It is legitimate for the
579 -- client to set this to No_Error_Msg and then test it to see if a warning
580 -- message has been issued.
582 procedure Delete_Warning_And_Continuations (Msg : Error_Msg_Id);
583 -- Deletes the given warning message and all its continuations. This is
584 -- typically used in conjunction with reading the value of Warning_Msg.
586 function Get_Msg_Id return Error_Msg_Id renames Erroutc.Get_Msg_Id;
587 -- Returns the Id of the message most recently posted using one of the
588 -- Error_Msg routines.
590 function Get_Location (E : Error_Msg_Id) return Source_Ptr
591 renames Erroutc.Get_Location;
592 -- Returns the flag location of the error message with the given id E
594 ------------------------
595 -- List Pragmas Table --
596 ------------------------
598 -- When a pragma Page or pragma List is encountered by the parser, an
599 -- entry is made in the following table. This table is then used to
600 -- control the full listing if one is being generated. Note that the
601 -- reason we do the processing in the parser is so that we get proper
602 -- listing control even in syntax check only mode.
604 type List_Pragma_Type is (List_On, List_Off, Page);
606 type List_Pragma_Record is record
607 Ptyp : List_Pragma_Type;
608 Ploc : Source_Ptr;
609 end record;
611 -- Note: Ploc points to the terminating semicolon in the List_Off and Page
612 -- cases, and to the pragma keyword for List_On. In the case of a pragma
613 -- List_Off, a List_On entry is also made in the table, pointing to the
614 -- pragma keyword. This ensures that, as required, a List (Off) pragma is
615 -- listed even in list off mode.
617 package List_Pragmas is new Table.Table (
618 Table_Component_Type => List_Pragma_Record,
619 Table_Index_Type => Int,
620 Table_Low_Bound => 1,
621 Table_Initial => 50,
622 Table_Increment => 200,
623 Table_Name => "List_Pragmas");
625 ---------------------------
626 -- Ignore_Errors Feature --
627 ---------------------------
629 -- In certain cases, notably for optional subunits, the compiler operates
630 -- in a mode where errors are to be ignored, and the whole unit is to be
631 -- considered as not present. To implement this we provide the following
632 -- flag to enable special handling, where error messages are suppressed,
633 -- but the Fatal_Error flag will still be set in the normal manner.
635 Ignore_Errors_Enable : Nat := 0;
636 -- Triggering switch. If non-zero, then ignore errors mode is activated.
637 -- This is a counter to allow convenient nesting of enable/disable.
639 -----------------------
640 -- CODEFIX Facility --
641 -----------------------
643 -- The GPS and GNATBench IDE's have a codefix facility that allows for
644 -- automatic correction of a subset of the errors and warnings issued
645 -- by the compiler. This is done by recognizing the text of specific
646 -- messages using appropriate matching patterns.
648 -- The text of such messages should not be altered without coordinating
649 -- with the codefix code. All such messages are marked by a specific
650 -- style of comments, as shown by the following example:
652 -- Error_Msg_N -- CODEFIX
653 -- (parameters ....)
655 -- Any message marked with this -- CODEFIX comment should not be modified
656 -- without appropriate coordination.
658 ------------------------------
659 -- Error Output Subprograms --

662 procedure Initialize;

667 -- Finalize processing of error message list. Includes processing for
668 -- duplicated error messages, and other similar final adjustment of the
669 -- list of error messages. Note that this procedure must be called before
670 -- calling Compilation_Errors to determine if there were any errors. It
671 -- is perfectly fine to call Finalize more than once, providing that the
672 -- parameter Last_Call is set False for every call except the last call.
674 -- This multiple call capability is used to do some processing that may
675 -- generate messages. Call Finalize to eliminate duplicates and remove
676 -- deleted warnings. Test for compilation errors using Compilation_Errors,
677 -- then generate some more errors/warnings, call Finalize again to make
678 -- sure that all duplicates in these new messages are dealt with, then
679 -- finally call Output_Messages to output the final list of messages. The
680 -- argument Last_Call must be set False on all calls except the last call,
