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