35 -- This package contains low level output routines used by the compiler
36 -- for writing error messages and informational output. It is also used
37 -- by the debug source file output routines (see Sprintf.Print_Eol).
39 with Types
; use Types
;
42 pragma Elaborate_Body
(Output
);
44 type Output_Proc
is access procedure (S
: String);
45 -- This type is used for the Set_Special_Output procedure. If this
46 -- procedure is called, then instead of lines being written to
47 -- standard error or standard output, a call is made to the given
48 -- procedure for each line, passing the line with an end of line
49 -- character (which is a single ASCII.LF character, even in systems
50 -- which normally use CR/LF or some other sequence for line end).
56 procedure Set_Special_Output
(P
: Output_Proc
);
57 -- Sets subsequent output to call procedure P. If P is null, then
58 -- the call cancels the effect of a previous call, reverting the
59 -- output to standard error or standard output depending on the
60 -- mode at the time of previous call. Any exception generated by
61 -- by calls to P is simply propagated to the caller of the routine
62 -- causing the write operation.
64 procedure Cancel_Special_Output
;
65 -- Cancels the effect of a call to Set_Special_Output, if any.
66 -- The output is then directed to standard error or standard output
67 -- depending on the last call to Set_Standard_Error or Set_Standard_Output.
68 -- It is never an error to call Cancel_Special_Output. It has the same
69 -- effect as calling Set_Special_Output (null).
71 procedure Set_Standard_Error
;
72 -- Sets subsequent output to appear on the standard error file (whatever
73 -- that might mean for the host operating system, if anything) when
74 -- no special output is in effect. When a special output is in effect,
75 -- the output will appear on standard error only after special output
76 -- has been cancelled.
78 procedure Set_Standard_Output
;
79 -- Sets subsequent output to appear on the standard output file (whatever
80 -- that might mean for the host operating system, if anything) when
81 -- no special output is in effect. When a special output is in effect,
82 -- the output will appear on standard output only after special output
83 -- has been cancelled. Output to standard output is the default mode
84 -- before any call to either of the Set procedures.
86 procedure Write_Char
(C
: Character);
87 -- Write one character to the standard output file. Note that the
88 -- character should not be LF or CR (use Write_Eol for end of line)
91 -- Write an end of line (whatever is required by the system in use,
92 -- e.g. CR/LF for DOS, or LF for Unix) to the standard output file.
93 -- This routine also empties the line buffer, actually writing it
94 -- to the file. Note that Write_Eol is the only routine that causes
95 -- any actual output to be written.
97 procedure Write_Int
(Val
: Int
);
98 -- Write an integer value with no leading blanks or zeroes. Negative
99 -- values are preceded by a minus sign).
101 procedure Write_Str
(S
: String);
102 -- Write a string of characters to the standard output file. Note that
103 -- end of line is handled separately using WRITE_EOL, so the string
104 -- should not contain either of the characters LF or CR, but it may
105 -- contain horizontal tab characters.
107 procedure Write_Line
(S
: String);
108 -- Equivalent to Write_Str (S) followed by Write_Eol;
110 function Column
return Nat
;
111 pragma Inline
(Column
);
112 -- Returns the number of the column about to be written (e.g. a value
113 -- of 1 means the current line is empty).

116 -- Debugging Procedures --
117 --------------------------
119 -- The following procedures are intended only for debugging purposes,
120 -- for temporary insertion into the text in environments where a debugger
121 -- is not available. They all have non-standard very short lower case
122 -- names, precisely to make sure that they are only used for debugging!
