   -----------------------------------
   -- Suppression of Error Messages --
   -----------------------------------

   --  In an effort to reduce the impact of redundant error messages, the
   --  error output routines in this package normally suppress certain
   --  classes of messages as follows:

   --    1.  Identical messages placed at the same point in the text. Such
   --        duplicate error message result for example from rescanning
   --        sections of the text that contain lexical errors. Only one of
   --        such a set of duplicate messages is output, and the rest are
   --        suppressed.

   --    2.  If more than one parser message is generated for a single source
   --        line, then only the first message is output, the remaining
   --        messages on the same line are suppressed.

   --    3.  If a message is posted on a node for which a message has been
   --        previously posted, then only the first message is retained. The
   --        Error_Posted flag is used to detect such multiple postings. Note
   --        that this only applies to semantic messages, since otherwise
   --        for parser messages, this would be a special case of case 2.

   --    4.  If a message is posted on a node whose Etype or Entity
   --        fields reference entities on which an error message has
   --        already been placed, as indicated by the Error_Posted flag
   --        being set on these entities, then the message is suppressed.

   --    5.  If a message attempts to insert an Error node, or a direct
   --        reference to the Any_Type node, then the message is suppressed.

   --  This normal suppression action may be overridden in cases 2-5 (but not
   --  in case 1) by setting All_Errors mode, or by setting the special
   --  unconditional message insertion character (!) at the end of the message
   --  text as described below.

   ---------------------------------------------------------
   -- Error Message Text and Message Insertion Characters --
   ---------------------------------------------------------

   --  Error message text strings are composed of lower case letters, digits
   --  and the special characters space, comma, period, colon and semicolon,
   --  apostrophe and parentheses. Special insertion characters can also
   --  appear which cause the error message circuit to modify the given
   --  string as follows:

   --    Insertion character % (Percent: insert name from Names table)
   --      The character % is replaced by the text for the name specified by
   --      the Name_Id value stored in Error_Msg_Name_1. A blank precedes
   --      the name if it is preceded by a non-blank character other than a
   --      left parenthesis. The name is enclosed in quotes unless manual
   --      quotation mode is set. If the Name_Id is set to No_Name, then
   --      no insertion occurs; if the Name_Id is set to Error_Name, then
   --      the string <error> is inserted. A second and third % may appear
   --      in a single message, similarly replaced by the names which are
   --      specified by the Name_Id values stored in Error_Msg_Name_2 and
   --      Error_Msg_Name_3. The names are decoded and cased according to
   --      the current identifier casing mode.

   --    Insertion character $ (Dollar: insert unit name from Names table)
   --      The character $ is treated similarly to %, except that the name
   --      is obtained from the Unit_Name_Type value in Error_Msg_Unit_1
   --      and Error_Msg_Unit_2, as provided by Get_Unit_Name_String in
   --      package Uname. Note that this name includes the postfix (spec)
   --      or (body) strings. If this postfix is not required, use the
   --      normal % insertion for the unit name.

   --    Insertion character { (Left brace: insert literally from names table)
   --      The character { is treated similarly to %, except that the
   --      name is output literally as stored in the names table without
   --      adjusting the casing. This can be used for file names and in
   --      other situations where the name string is to be output unchanged.

   --    Insertion character * (Asterisk, insert reserved word name)
   --      The insertion character * is treated exactly like % except that
   --      the resulting name is cased according to the default conventions
   --      for reserved words (see package Scans).

   --    Insertion character & (Ampersand: insert name from node)
   --      The insertion character & is treated similarly to %, except that
   --      the name is taken from the Chars field of the given node, and may
   --      refer to a child unit name, or a selected component. The casing
   --      is, if possible, taken from the original source reference, which
   --      is obtained from the Sloc field of the given node or nodes. If no
   --      Sloc is available (happens e.g. for nodes in package Standard),
   --      then the default case (see Scans spec) is used. The nodes to be
   --      used are stored in Error_Msg_Node_1, Error_Msg_Node_2. No insertion
   --      occurs for the Empty node, and the Error node results in the
   --      insertion of the characters <error>. In addition, if the special
   --      global variable Error_Msg_Qual_Level is non-zero, then the
   --      reference will include up to the given number of levels of
   --      qualification, using the scope chain.

   --    Insertion character # (Pound: insert line number reference)
   --      The character # is replaced by the string indicating the source
   --      position stored in Error_Msg_Sloc. There are three cases:
   --
   --        for package Standard:           in package Standard
   --        for locations in current file:  at line nnn:ccc
   --        for locations in other files:   at filename:nnn:ccc
   --
   --      By convention, the # insertion character is only used at the end
   --      of an error message, so the above strings only appear as the last
   --      characters of an error message.

   --    Insertion character } (Right brace: insert type reference)
   --      The character } is replaced by a string describing the type
   --      referenced by the entity whose Id is stored in Error_Msg_Node_1.
   --      the string gives the name or description of the type, and also
   --      where appropriate the location of its declaration. Special
   --      cases like "some integer type" are handled appropriately. Only
   --      one } is allowed in a message, since there is not enough room
   --      for two (the insertion can be quite long, including a file name)
   --      In addition, if the special global variable Error_Msg_Qual_Level
   --      is non-zero, then the reference will include up to the given
   --      number of levels of qualification, using the scope chain.

   --    Insertion character @ (At: insert column number reference)
   --      The character @ is replaced by null if the RM_Column_Check mode is
   --      off (False). If the switch is on (True), then @ is replaced by the
   --      text string " in column nnn" where nnn is the decimal representation
   --      of the column number stored in Error_Msg_Col plus one (the plus one
   --      is because the number is stored 0-origin and displayed 1-origin).

   --    Insertion character ^ (Carret: insert integer value)
   --      The character ^ is replaced by the decimal conversion of the Uint
   --      value stored in Error_Msg_Uint_1, with a possible leading minus.
   --      A second ^ may occur in the message, in which case it is replaced
   --      by the decimal conversion of the Uint value in Error_Msg_Uint_2.

   --    Insertion character ! (Exclamation: unconditional message)
   --      The character ! appearing as the last character of a message makes
   --      the message unconditional which means that it is output even if it
   --      would normally be suppressed. See section above for a description
   --      of the cases in which messages are normally suppressed.

   --    Insertion character ? (Question: warning message)
   --      The character ? appearing anywhere in a message makes the message
   --      a warning instead of a normal error message, and the text of the
   --      message will be preceded by "Warning:" instead of "Error:" The
   --      handling of warnings if further controlled by the Warning_Mode
   --      option (-w switch), see package Opt for further details, and
   --      also by the current setting from pragma Warnings. This pragma
   --      applies only to warnings issued from the semantic phase (not
   --      the parser), but currently all relevant warnings are posted
   --      by the semantic phase anyway. Messages starting with (style)
   --      are also treated as warning messages.

   --    Insertion character A-Z (Upper case letter: Ada reserved word)
   --      If two or more upper case letters appear in the message, they are
   --      taken as an Ada reserved word, and are converted to the default
   --      case for reserved words (see Scans package spec). Surrounding
   --      quotes are added unless manual quotation mode is currently set.

   --    Insertion character ` (Backquote: set manual quotation mode)
   --      The backquote character always appears in pairs. Each backquote
   --      of the pair is replaced by a double quote character. In addition,
   --      Any reserved keywords, or name insertions between these backquotes
   --      are not surrounded by the usual automatic double quotes. See the
   --      section below on manual quotation mode for further details.

   --    Insertion character ' (Quote: literal character)
   --      Precedes a character which is placed literally into the message.
   --      Used to insert characters into messages that are one of the
   --      insertion characters defined here.

   --    Insertion character \ (Backslash: continuation message)
   --      Indicates that the message is a continuation of a message
   --      previously posted. This is used to ensure that such groups
   --      of messages are treated as a unit. The \ character must be
   --      the first character of the message text.

   --    Insertion character | (vertical bar, non-serious error)
   --      By default, error messages (other than warning messages) are
   --      considered to be fatal error messages which prevent expansion
   --      or generation of code in the presence of the -gnatQ switch.
   --      If the insertion character | appears, the message is considered
   --      to be non-serious, and does not cause Serious_Errors_Detected
   --      to be incremented (so expansion is not prevented by such a msg).

   -----------------------------------------------------
   -- Global Values Used for Error Message Insertions --
   -----------------------------------------------------

   --  The following global variables are essentially additional parameters
   --  passed to the error message routine for insertion sequences described
   --  above. The reason these are passed globally is that the insertion
   --  mechanism is essentially an untyped one in which the appropriate
   --  variables are set dependingon the specific insertion characters used.

   Error_Msg_Col : Column_Number;
   --  Column for @ insertion character in message

   Error_Msg_Uint_1 : Uint;
   Error_Msg_Uint_2 : Uint;
   --  Uint values for ^ insertion characters in message

   Error_Msg_Sloc : Source_Ptr;
   --  Source location for # insertion character in message

   Error_Msg_Name_1 : Name_Id;
   Error_Msg_Name_2 : Name_Id;
   Error_Msg_Name_3 : Name_Id;
   --  Name_Id values for % insertion characters in message

   Error_Msg_Unit_1 : Name_Id;
   Error_Msg_Unit_2 : Name_Id;
   --  Name_Id values for $ insertion characters in message

   Error_Msg_Node_1 : Node_Id;
   Error_Msg_Node_2 : Node_Id;
   --  Node_Id values for & insertion characters in message

   Error_Msg_Qual_Level : Int := 0;
   --  Number of levels of qualification required for type name (see the
   --  description of the } insertion character. Note that this value does
   --  note get reset by any Error_Msg call, so the caller is responsible
   --  for resetting it.

   Warn_On_Instance : Boolean := False;
   --  Normally if a warning is generated in a generic template from the
   --  analysis of the template, then the warning really belongs in the
   --  template, and the default value of False for this Boolean achieves
   --  that effect. If Warn_On_Instance is set True, then the warnings are
   --  generated on the instantiation (referring to the template) rather
   --  than on the template itself.

   -----------------------------------------------------
   -- Format of Messages and Manual Quotation Control --
   -----------------------------------------------------

   --  Messages are generally all in lower case, except for inserted names
   --  and appear in one of the following three forms:

   --    error: text
   --    warning: text

   --  The prefixes error and warning are supplied automatically (depending
   --  on the use of the ? insertion character), and the call to the error
   --  message routine supplies the text. The "error: " prefix is omitted
   --  in brief error message formats.

   --  Reserved Ada keywords in the message are in the default keyword case
   --  (determined from the given source program), surrounded by quotation
   --  marks. This is achieved by spelling the reserved word in upper case
   --  letters, which is recognized as a request for insertion of quotation
   --  marks by the error text processor. Thus for example:

   --    Error_Msg_AP ("IS expected");

   --  would result in the output of one of the following:

   --    error: "is" expected
   --    error: "IS" expected
   --    error: "Is" expected

   --  the choice between these being made by looking at the casing convention
   --  used for keywords (actually the first compilation unit keyword) in the
   --  source file.

   --  In the case of names, the default mode for the error text processor
   --  is to surround the name by quotation marks automatically. The case
   --  used for the identifier names is taken from the source program where
   --  possible, and otherwise is the default casing convention taken from
   --  the source file usage.

   --  In some cases, better control over the placement of quote marks is
   --  required. This is achieved using manual quotation mode. In this mode,
   --  one or more insertion sequences is surrounded by backquote characters.
   --  The backquote characters are output as double quote marks, and normal
   --  automatic insertion of quotes is suppressed between the double quotes.
   --  For example:

   --    Error_Msg_AP ("`END &;` expected");

   --  generates a message like

   --    error: "end Open_Scope;" expected

   --  where the node specifying the name Open_Scope has been stored in
   --  Error_Msg_Node_1 prior to the call. The great majority of error
   --  messages operates in normal quotation mode.

   --  Note: the normal automatic insertion of spaces before insertion
   --  sequences (such as those that come from & and %) is suppressed in
   --  manual quotation mode, so blanks, if needed as in the above example,
   --  must be explicitly present.

   ----------------------------
   -- Message ID Definitions --
   ----------------------------

   type Error_Msg_Id is new Int;
   --  A type used to represent specific error messages. Used by the clients
   --  of this package only in the context of the Get_Error_Id and
   --  Change_Error_Text subprograms.

   No_Error_Msg : constant Error_Msg_Id := 0;
   --  A constant which is different from any value returned by Get_Error_Id.
   --  Typically used by a client to indicate absense of a saved Id value.

   function Get_Msg_Id return Error_Msg_Id;
   --  Returns the Id of the message most recently posted using one of the
   --  Error_Msg routines.

   function Get_Location (E : Error_Msg_Id) return Source_Ptr;
   --  Returns the flag location of the error message with the given id E.

   ------------------------
   -- List Pragmas Table --
   ------------------------

   --  When a pragma Page or pragma List is encountered by the parser, an
   --  entry is made in the following table. This table is then used to
   --  control the full listing if one is being generated. Note that the
   --  reason we do the processing in the parser is so that we get proper
   --  listing control even in syntax check only mode.

   type List_Pragma_Type is (List_On, List_Off, Page);

   type List_Pragma_Record is record
      Ptyp : List_Pragma_Type;
      Ploc : Source_Ptr;
   end record;

   --  Note: Ploc points to the terminating semicolon in the List_Off and
   --  Page cases, and to the pragma keyword for List_On. In the case of
   --  a pragma List_Off, a List_On entry is also made in the table,
   --  pointing to the pragma keyword. This ensures that, as required,
   --  a List (Off) pragma is listed even in list off mode.

   package List_Pragmas is new Table.Table (
     Table_Component_Type => List_Pragma_Record,
     Table_Index_Type     => Int,
     Table_Low_Bound      => 1,
     Table_Initial        => 50,
     Table_Increment      => 200,
     Table_Name           => "List_Pragmas");

   ---------------------------
   -- Ignore_Errors Feature --
   ---------------------------

   --  In certain cases, notably for optional subunits, the compiler operates
   --  in a mode where errors are to be ignored, and the whole unit is to be
   --  considered as not present. To implement this we provide the following
   --  flag to enable special handling, where error messages are suppressed,
   --  but the Fatal_Error flag will still be set in the normal manner.

   Ignore_Errors_Enable : Nat := 0;
   --  Triggering switch. If non-zero, then ignore errors mode is activated.
   --  This is a counter to allow convenient nesting of enable/disable.

   ------------------------------
   -- Error Output Subprograms --
   ------------------------------

   procedure Initialize;
   --  Initializes for output of error messages. Must be called for each
   --  source file before using any of the other routines in the package.

   procedure Finalize;
   --  Finalize processing of error messages for one file and output message
   --  indicating the number of detected errors.

   procedure Error_Msg (Msg : String; Flag_Location : Source_Ptr);
   --  Output a message at specified location. Can be called from the parser
   --  or the semantic analyzer.

   procedure Error_Msg_S (Msg : String);
   --  Output a message at current scan pointer location. This routine can be
   --  called only from the parser, since it references Scan_Ptr.

   procedure Error_Msg_AP (Msg : String);
   --  Output a message just after the previous token. This routine can be
   --  called only from the parser, since it references Prev_Token_Ptr.

   procedure Error_Msg_BC (Msg : String);
   --  Output a message just before the current token. Note that the important
   --  difference between this and the previous routine is that the BC case
   --  posts a flag on the current line, whereas AP can post a flag at the
   --  end of the preceding line. This routine can be called only from the
   --  parser, since it references Token_Ptr.

   procedure Error_Msg_SC (Msg : String);
   --  Output a message at the start of the current token, unless we are at
   --  the end of file, in which case we always output the message after the
   --  last real token in the file. This routine can be called only from the
   --  parser, since it references Token_Ptr.

   procedure Error_Msg_SP (Msg : String);
   --  Output a message at the start of the previous token. This routine can
   --  be called only from the parser, since it references Prev_Token_Ptr.

   procedure Error_Msg_N (Msg : String; N : Node_Or_Entity_Id);
   --  Output a message at the Sloc of the given node. This routine can be
   --  called from the parser or the semantic analyzer, although the call
   --  from the latter is much more common (and is the most usual way of
   --  generating error messages from the analyzer). The message text may
   --  contain a single & insertion, which will reference the given node.
   --  The message is suppressed if the node N already has a message posted,
   --  or if it is a warning and warnings and N is an entity node for which
   --  warnings are suppressed.

   procedure Error_Msg_NE
     (Msg : String;
      N   : Node_Or_Entity_Id;
      E   : Node_Or_Entity_Id);
   --  Output a message at the Sloc of the given node N, with an insertion of
   --  the name from the given entity node E. This is used by the semantic
   --  routines, where this is a common error message situation. The Msg
   --  text will contain a & or } as usual to mark the insertion point.
   --  This routine can be called from the parser or the analyzer.
