37 -- Returns an N_Unchecked_Expression node whose expression is the given
38 -- argument. The results is a subexpression identical to the argument,
39 -- except that it will be analyzed and resolved with checks off.
41 function Convert_To (Typ : Entity_Id; Expr : Node_Id) return Node_Id;
42 -- Returns an expression that represents the result of a checked convert
43 -- of expression Exp to type T. If the base type of Exp is T, then no
44 -- conversion is required, and Exp is returned unchanged. Otherwise an
45 -- N_Type_Conversion node is constructed to convert the expression.
46 -- If an N_Type_Conversion node is required, Relocate_Node is used on
47 -- Exp. This means that it is safe to replace a node by a Convert_To
48 -- of itself to some other type.

59 -- This is a dummy procedure that simply returns and does nothing. It is
60 -- used when a function returning a Node_Id value is called for its side

231 -- identifier encoding, see Namet), or an underscore, and T is reserved for
232 -- use by implicit types, and X is reserved for use by debug type encoding
233 -- (see package Exp_Dbug). Note: the reason that Prefix is last is that it
234 -- is almost always omitted. The notable case of Prefix being non-null is
235 -- when it is 'T' for an implicit type.
237 -- Suffix_Index'Image is appended only if the value of Suffix_Index is
238 -- positive, or if Suffix_Index is negative 1, then a unique serialized

244 -- operation (i.e. it is properly hashed into the names table). The upper
245 -- case letter given as the Suffix argument ensures that the name does
246 -- not clash with any Ada identifier name. These generated names are
