26 -- Resolution processing for all subexpression nodes. Note that the separate
27 -- package Sem_Aggr contains the actual resolution routines for aggregates,
28 -- which are separated off since aggregate processing is complex.

32 package Sem_Res is
34 -- As described in Sem_Ch4, the type resolution proceeds in two phases.
35 -- The first phase is a bottom up pass that is achieved during the
36 -- recursive traversal performed by the Analyze procedures. This phase
37 -- determines unambiguous types, and collects sets of possible types
38 -- where the interpretation is potentially ambiguous.
40 -- On completing this bottom up pass, which corresponds to a call to
41 -- Analyze on a complete context, the Resolve routine is called which
42 -- performs a top down resolution with recursive calls to itself to
43 -- resolve operands.
45 -- Since in practice a lot of semantic analysis has to be postponed until
46 -- types are known (e.g. static folding, setting of suppress flags), the
47 -- Resolve routines also complete the semantic analysis, and call the
48 -- expander for possible expansion of the completely type resolved node.
50 procedure Ambiguous_Character (C : Node_Id);
51 -- Give list of candidate interpretations when a character literal cannot
52 -- be resolved, for example in a (useless) comparison such as 'A' = 'B'.
53 -- In Ada 95 the literals in question can be of type Character or Wide_
54 -- Character. In Ada 2005 Wide_Wide_Character is also a candidate. The
55 -- node may also be overloaded with user-defined character types.
57 procedure Analyze_And_Resolve (N : Node_Id);
58 procedure Analyze_And_Resolve (N : Node_Id; Typ : Entity_Id);

61 Typ : Entity_Id;
62 Suppress : Check_Id);
63 procedure Analyze_And_Resolve
64 (N : Node_Id;
65 Suppress : Check_Id);
66 -- These routines combine the effect of Analyze and Resolve. If a Suppress
67 -- argument is present, then the analysis is done with the specified check
68 -- suppressed (can be All_Checks to suppress all checks). These checks are
69 -- suppressed for both the analysis and resolution. If the type argument
70 -- is not present, then the Etype of the expression after the Analyze
71 -- call is used for the Resolve.
73 procedure Check_Parameterless_Call (N : Node_Id);
74 -- Several forms of names can denote calls to entities without parameters.
75 -- The context determines whether the name denotes the entity or a call to
76 -- it. When it is a call, the node must be rebuilt accordingly and
77 -- reanalyzed to obtain possible interpretations.
79 -- The name may be that of an overloadable construct, or it can be an
80 -- explicit dereference of a prefix that denotes an access to subprogram.
81 -- In that case, we want to convert the name into a call only if the
82 -- context requires the return type of the subprogram. Finally, a
83 -- parameterless protected subprogram appears as a selected component.
85 -- The parameter T is the Typ for the corresponding resolve call.
87 procedure Preanalyze_And_Resolve (N : Node_Id; T : Entity_Id);
88 -- Performs a preanalysis of expression node N. During preanalysis, N is
89 -- analyzed and then resolved against type T, but no expansion is carried
90 -- out for N or its children. For more info on preanalysis read the spec
91 -- of Sem.
93 procedure Preanalyze_And_Resolve (N : Node_Id);
94 -- Same, but use type of node because context does not impose a single type
96 procedure Preanalyze_With_Freezing_And_Resolve (N : Node_Id; T : Entity_Id);
97 -- Same, but perform freezing of static expressions of N or its children.
99 procedure Resolve (N : Node_Id; Typ : Entity_Id);
100 procedure Resolve (N : Node_Id; Typ : Entity_Id; Suppress : Check_Id);
101 -- Top-level type-checking procedure, called in a complete context. The
102 -- construct N, which is a subexpression, has already been analyzed, and
103 -- is required to be of type Typ given the analysis of the context (which
104 -- uses the information gathered on the bottom-up phase in Analyze). The
105 -- resolve routines do various other processing, e.g. static evaluation.
106 -- If a Suppress argument is present, then the resolution is done with the
107 -- specified check suppressed (can be All_Checks to suppress all checks).
109 procedure Resolve (N : Node_Id);
110 -- A version of Resolve where the type to be used for resolution is taken
111 -- from the Etype (N). This is commonly used in cases where the context
112 -- does not add anything and the first pass of analysis found the correct
113 -- expected type.
115 procedure Resolve_Discrete_Subtype_Indication
116 (N : Node_Id;
117 Typ : Entity_Id);
118 -- Resolve subtype indications in choices (case statements and aggregates)
119 -- and in index constraints. Note that the resulting Etype of the subtype_
120 -- indication node is set to the Etype of the contained range (i.e. an
121 -- Itype is not constructed for the actual subtype).
123 procedure Resolve_Entry (Entry_Name : Node_Id);
124 -- Find name of entry being called, and resolve prefix of name with its
125 -- own type. For now we assume that the prefix cannot be overloaded and
126 -- the name of the entry plays no role in the resolution.
128 function Valid_Conversion
129 (N : Node_Id;
130 Target : Entity_Id;
131 Operand : Node_Id;
132 Report_Errs : Boolean := True) return Boolean;
133 -- Verify legality rules given in 4.6 (8-23). Target is the target type
134 -- of the conversion, which may be an implicit conversion of an actual
135 -- parameter to an anonymous access type (in which case N denotes the
136 -- actual parameter and N = Operand). Returns a Boolean result indicating
137 -- whether the conversion is legal. Reports errors in the case of illegal
138 -- conversions, unless Report_Errs is False.
140 private
141 procedure Resolve_Implicit_Type (N : Node_Id) renames Resolve;
142 pragma Inline (Resolve_Implicit_Type);
143 -- We use this renaming to make the application of Inline very explicit to
144 -- this version, since other versions of Resolve are not inlined.
