38 package Stringt is
40 -- This package contains routines for handling the strings table which is
41 -- used to store string constants encountered in the source, and also those
42 -- additional string constants generated by compile time concatenation and
43 -- other similar processing.
45 -- A string constant in this table consists of a series of Char_Code values,
46 -- so that 16-bit character codes can be properly handled if this feature
47 -- is implemented in the scanner.
49 -- There is no guarantee that hashing is used in the implementation, although
50 -- it maybe. This means that the caller cannot count on having the same Id
51 -- value for two identical strings stored separately and also cannot count on
52 -- the two Id values being different.

144 -- the code. Codes greater than 16#FF# are output as ["hhhh"] where hhhh

158 -- without surrounding quote marks.
