49 -- The following type defines the various forms of allocation used for the
50 -- results of build-in-place function calls.
52 type BIP_Allocation_Form is
53 (Unspecified,
54 Caller_Allocation,
55 Secondary_Stack,
56 Global_Heap,
57 User_Storage_Pool);
59 type BIP_Formal_Kind is
60 -- Ada 2005 (AI-318-02): This type defines the kinds of implicit extra
61 -- formals created for build-in-place functions. The order of the above
62 -- enumeration literals matches the order in which the formals are
63 -- declared. See Sem_Ch6.Create_Extra_Formals.
64 (BIP_Alloc_Form,
65 -- Present if result subtype is unconstrained, or if the result type
66 -- is tagged. Indicates whether the return object is allocated by the
67 -- caller or callee, and if the callee, whether to use the secondary
68 -- stack or the heap. See Create_Extra_Formals.
69 BIP_Final_List,
70 -- Present if result type needs finalization. Pointer to caller's
71 -- finalization list.
72 BIP_Master,
73 -- Present if result type contains tasks. Master associated with
74 -- calling context.
75 BIP_Activation_Chain,
76 -- Present if result type contains tasks. Caller's activation chain
77 BIP_Object_Access);
78 -- Present for all build-in-place functions. Address at which to place
79 -- the return object, or null if BIP_Alloc_Form indicates
80 -- allocated by callee.
81 -- ??? We also need to be able to pass in some way to access a
82 -- user-defined storage pool at some point. And perhaps a constrained
83 -- flag.
85 function BIP_Formal_Suffix (Kind : BIP_Formal_Kind) return String;
86 -- Ada 2005 (AI-318-02): Returns a string to be used as the suffix of names
87 -- for build-in-place formal parameters of the given kind.
89 function Build_In_Place_Formal
90 (Func : Entity_Id;
91 Kind : BIP_Formal_Kind) return Entity_Id;
92 -- Ada 2005 (AI-318-02): Locates and returns the entity for the implicit
93 -- build-in-place formal parameter of the given kind associated with the
94 -- function Func, and returns its Entity_Id. It is a bug if not found; the
95 -- caller should ensure this is called only when the extra formal exists.
97 function Is_Build_In_Place_Function (E : Entity_Id) return Boolean;
98 -- Ada 2005 (AI-318-02): Returns True if E denotes a function, generic
99 -- function, or access-to-function type whose result must be built in
100 -- place; otherwise returns False. For Ada 2005, this is currently
101 -- restricted to the set of functions whose result subtype is an inherently
102 -- limited type. In Ada 95, this must be False for inherently limited
103 -- result types (but currently returns False for all Ada 95 functions).
104 -- Eventually we plan to support build-in-place for nonlimited types.
105 -- Build-in-place is usually more efficient for large things, and less
106 -- efficient for small things. However, we never use build-in-place if the
107 -- convention is other than Ada, because that would disturb mixed-language
108 -- programs. Note that for the non-inherently-limited cases, we must make
109 -- the same decision for Ada 95 and 2005, so that mixed-dialect programs
110 -- will work.
112 function Is_Build_In_Place_Function_Call (N : Node_Id) return Boolean;
113 -- Ada 2005 (AI-318-02): Returns True if N denotes a call to a function

115 -- expression applied to such a call; otherwise returns False.

134 -- temporary is passed as an additional parameter of the call. This occurs
135 -- in contexts such as subprogram call actuals and object renamings.
