32 -----------------------------------
34 -- For targets that define a much larger System package than given in
35 -- the RM, we use a child package containing additional declarations,
36 -- which is loaded when needed, and whose entities are conceptually
37 -- within System itself. The presence of this auxiliary package is
38 -- controlled with the pragma Extend_System. The following variable
39 -- holds the entity of the auxiliary package, to simplify the special
40 -- visibility rules that apply to it.

66 -- package, task, and protected bodies), the name of the current scope
67 -- must be removed from the scope stack, and the local entities must be

73 -- Invoked on scope exit, to undo the effect of local use clauses. U is
74 -- the first Use clause of a scope being exited. This can be the current
