32 -- This procedure implements file name crunching
34 -- First, the name is divided into segments separated by minus signs and
35 -- underscores, then all minus signs and underscores are eliminated. If
36 -- this leaves the name short enough, we are done.
38 -- If not, then the longest segment is located (left-most if there are
39 -- two of equal length), and shortened by dropping its last character.
40 -- This is repeated until the name is short enough.
42 -- As an example, consider the krunch of our-strings-wide_fixed.adb
43 -- to fit the name into 8 characters as required by DOS:
45 -- our-strings-wide_fixed 22
46 -- our strings wide fixed 19
47 -- our string wide fixed 18
48 -- our strin wide fixed 17
49 -- our stri wide fixed 16
50 -- our stri wide fixe 15
51 -- our str wide fixe 14
52 -- our str wid fixe 13
53 -- our str wid fix 12
54 -- ou str wid fix 11
55 -- ou st wid fix 10
56 -- ou st wi fix 9
57 -- ou st wi fi 8
59 -- Final file name: OUSTWIFX.ADB
61 -- A special rule applies for children of System, Ada, Gnat, and Interfaces.
62 -- In these cases, the following special prefix replacements occur:
64 -- ada- replaced by a-
65 -- gnat- replaced by g-
66 -- interfaces- replaced by i-
67 -- system- replaced by s-
69 -- The rest of the name is krunched in the usual manner described above.
70 -- In addition, these names, as well as the names of the renamed packages
71 -- from the obsolescent features annex, are always krunched to 8 characters
72 -- regardless of the setting of Maxlen.
74 -- As an example of this special rule, consider ada-strings-wide_fixed.adb
75 -- which gets krunched as follows:
77 -- ada-strings-wide_fixed 22
78 -- a- strings wide fixed 18
79 -- a- string wide fixed 17
80 -- a- strin wide fixed 16
81 -- a- stri wide fixed 15
82 -- a- stri wide fixe 14
83 -- a- str wide fixe 13
84 -- a- str wid fixe 12
85 -- a- str wid fix 11
86 -- a- st wid fix 10
87 -- a- st wi fix 9
88 -- a- st wi fi 8
90 -- Final file name: A-STWIFX.ADB
92 -- Since children of units named A, G, I or S might conflict with the names
93 -- of predefined units, the naming rule in that case is that the first hyphen
94 -- is replaced by a tilde sign.
96 -- Note: as described below, this special treatment of predefined library
97 -- unit file names can be inhibited by setting the No_Predef flag.
99 -- Of course there is no guarantee that this algorithm results in uniquely
100 -- crunched names (nor, obviously, is there any algorithm which would do so)
101 -- In fact we run into such a case in the standard library routines with
102 -- children of Wide_Text_IO, so a special rule is applied to deal with this
103 -- clash, namely the prefix ada-wide_text_io- is replaced by a-wt- and then
104 -- the normal crunching rules are applied, so that for example, the unit:
106 -- Ada.Wide_Text_IO.Float_IO
108 -- has the file name
110 -- a-wtflio
112 -- More problems arise with Wide_Wide, so we replace this sequence by
113 -- a z (which is not used much) and also (as in the Wide_Text_IO case),
114 -- we replace the prefix ada.wide_wide_text_io- by a-zt- and then
115 -- the normal crunching rules are applied.
117 -- These are the only irregularity required (so far) to keep the file names
118 -- unique in the standard predefined libraries.
120 procedure Krunch
121 (Buffer : in out String;
122 Len : in out Natural;
123 Maxlen : Natural;
124 No_Predef : Boolean);
125 pragma Elaborate_Body (Krunch);
126 -- The full file name is stored in Buffer (1 .. Len) on entry. The file
127 -- name is crunched in place and on return Len is updated, so that the
128 -- resulting krunched name is in Buffer (1 .. Len) where Len <= Maxlen.
129 -- Note that Len may be less than or equal to Maxlen on entry, in which
130 -- case it may be possible that Krunch does not modify Buffer. The fourth
131 -- parameter, No_Predef, is a switch which, if set to True, disables the
132 -- normal special treatment of predefined library unit file names.
134 -- Note: the string Buffer must have a lower bound of 1, and may not
135 -- contain any blanks (in particular, it must not have leading blanks).
