@node About This Guide
@unnumbered About This Guide

@noindent
This manual contains useful information in writing programs using the
@value{EDITION} compiler.  It includes information on implementation dependent
characteristics of @value{EDITION}, including all the information required by
Annex M of the Ada language standard.

@value{EDITION} implements Ada 95 and Ada 2005, and it may also be invoked in
Ada 83 compatibility mode.
By default, @value{EDITION} assumes @value{DEFAULTLANGUAGEVERSION},
but you can override with a compiler switch
to explicitly specify the language version.
(Please refer to @ref{Compiling Different Versions of Ada,,, gnat_ugn,
@value{EDITION} User's Guide}, for details on these switches.)
Throughout this manual, references to ``Ada'' without a year suffix
apply to both the Ada 95 and Ada 2005 versions of the language.

Ada is designed to be highly portable.
In general, a program will have the same effect even when compiled by
different compilers on different platforms.
However, since Ada is designed to be used in a
wide variety of applications, it also contains a number of system
dependent features to be used in interfacing to the external world.
@cindex Implementation-dependent features
@cindex Portability

Note: Any program that makes use of implementation-dependent features
may be non-portable.  You should follow good programming practice and
isolate and clearly document any sections of your program that make use
of these features in a non-portable manner.

@ifset PROEDITION
For ease of exposition, ``GNAT Pro'' will be referred to simply as
``GNAT'' in the remainder of this document.

@node Implementation Defined Pragmas
@chapter Implementation Defined Pragmas

@noindent
Ada defines a set of pragmas that can be used to supply additional
information to the compiler.  These language defined pragmas are
implemented in GNAT and work as described in the Ada Reference Manual.

In addition, Ada allows implementations to define additional pragmas
whose meaning is defined by the implementation.  GNAT provides a number
of these implementation-defined pragmas, which can be used to extend
and enhance the functionality of the compiler.  This section of the GNAT
Reference Manual describes these additional pragmas.

Note that any program using these pragmas might not be portable to other
compilers (although GNAT implements this set of pragmas on all
platforms).  Therefore if portability to other compilers is an important
consideration, the use of these pragmas should be minimized.

@node Pragma Abort_Defer
@unnumberedsec Pragma Abort_Defer
@findex Abort_Defer
@cindex Deferring aborts
@noindent
Syntax:
@smallexample
pragma Abort_Defer;
@end smallexample

@noindent
This pragma must appear at the start of the statement sequence of a
handled sequence of statements (right after the @code{begin}).  It has
the effect of deferring aborts for the sequence of statements (but not
for the declarations or handlers, if any, associated with this statement
sequence).

@node Pragma Ada_83
@unnumberedsec Pragma Ada_83
@findex Ada_83
@noindent
Syntax:
@smallexample @c ada
pragma Ada_83;
@end smallexample

@noindent
A configuration pragma that establishes Ada 83 mode for the unit to
which it applies, regardless of the mode set by the command line
switches.  In Ada 83 mode, GNAT attempts to be as compatible with
the syntax and semantics of Ada 83, as defined in the original Ada
83 Reference Manual as possible.  In particular, the keywords added by Ada 95
and Ada 2005 are not recognized, optional package bodies are allowed,
and generics may name types with unknown discriminants without using
the @code{(<>)} notation.  In addition, some but not all of the additional
restrictions of Ada 83 are enforced.

Ada 83 mode is intended for two purposes.  Firstly, it allows existing
Ada 83 code to be compiled and adapted to GNAT with less effort.
Secondly, it aids in keeping code backwards compatible with Ada 83.
However, there is no guarantee that code that is processed correctly
by GNAT in Ada 83 mode will in fact compile and execute with an Ada
83 compiler, since GNAT does not enforce all the additional checks
required by Ada 83.

@node Pragma Ada_95
@unnumberedsec Pragma Ada_95
@findex Ada_95
@noindent
Syntax:
@smallexample @c ada
pragma Ada_95;
@end smallexample

@noindent
A configuration pragma that establishes Ada 95 mode for the unit to which
it applies, regardless of the mode set by the command line switches.
This mode is set automatically for the @code{Ada} and @code{System}
packages and their children, so you need not specify it in these
contexts.  This pragma is useful when writing a reusable component that
itself uses Ada 95 features, but which is intended to be usable from
either Ada 83 or Ada 95 programs.

@node Pragma Ada_05
@unnumberedsec Pragma Ada_05
@findex Ada_05
@noindent
Syntax:
@smallexample @c ada
pragma Ada_05;
@end smallexample

@noindent
A configuration pragma that establishes Ada 2005 mode for the unit to which
it applies, regardless of the mode set by the command line switches.
This mode is set automatically for the @code{Ada} and @code{System}
packages and their children, so you need not specify it in these
contexts.  This pragma is useful when writing a reusable component that
itself uses Ada 2005 features, but which is intended to be usable from
either Ada 83 or Ada 95 programs.

@node Pragma Ada_2005
@unnumberedsec Pragma Ada_2005
@findex Ada_2005
@noindent
Syntax:
@smallexample @c ada
pragma Ada_2005;
@end smallexample

@noindent
This configuration pragma is a synonym for pragma Ada_05 and has the
same syntax and effect.

@node Pragma Annotate
@unnumberedsec Pragma Annotate
@findex Annotate
@noindent
Syntax:
@smallexample @c ada
pragma Annotate (IDENTIFIER [,IDENTIFIER] @{, ARG@});

ARG ::= NAME | EXPRESSION
@end smallexample

@noindent
This pragma is used to annotate programs.  @var{identifier} identifies
the type of annotation.  GNAT verifies that it is an identifier, but does
not otherwise analyze it. The second optional identifier is also left
unanalyzed, and by convention is used to control the action of the tool to
which the annotation is addressed.  The remaining @var{arg} arguments
can be either string literals or more generally expressions.
String literals are assumed to be either of type
@code{Standard.String} or else @code{Wide_String} or @code{Wide_Wide_String}
depending on the character literals they contain.
All other kinds of arguments are analyzed as expressions, and must be
unambiguous.

The analyzed pragma is retained in the tree, but not otherwise processed
by any part of the GNAT compiler.  This pragma is intended for use by
external tools, including ASIS@.

@node Pragma Assert
@unnumberedsec Pragma Assert
@findex Assert
@noindent
Syntax:
@smallexample @c ada
pragma Assert (
  boolean_EXPRESSION
  [, string_EXPRESSION]);
@end smallexample

@noindent
The effect of this pragma depends on whether the corresponding command
line switch is set to activate assertions.  The pragma expands into code
equivalent to the following:

@smallexample @c ada
if assertions-enabled then
   if not boolean_EXPRESSION then
      System.Assertions.Raise_Assert_Failure
        (string_EXPRESSION);
   end if;
end if;
@end smallexample

@noindent
The string argument, if given, is the message that will be associated
with the exception occurrence if the exception is raised.  If no second
argument is given, the default message is @samp{@var{file}:@var{nnn}},
where @var{file} is the name of the source file containing the assert,
and @var{nnn} is the line number of the assert.  A pragma is not a
statement, so if a statement sequence contains nothing but a pragma
assert, then a null statement is required in addition, as in:

@smallexample @c ada
@dots{}
if J > 3 then
   pragma Assert (K > 3, "Bad value for K");
   null;
end if;
@end smallexample

@noindent
Note that, as with the @code{if} statement to which it is equivalent, the
type of the expression is either @code{Standard.Boolean}, or any type derived
from this standard type.

If assertions are disabled (switch @option{-gnata} not used), then there
is no run-time effect (and in particular, any side effects from the
expression will not occur at run time).  (The expression is still
analyzed at compile time, and may cause types to be frozen if they are
mentioned here for the first time).

If assertions are enabled, then the given expression is tested, and if
it is @code{False} then @code{System.Assertions.Raise_Assert_Failure} is called
which results in the raising of @code{Assert_Failure} with the given message.

You should generally avoid side effects in the expression arguments of
this pragma, because these side effects will turn on and off with the
setting of the assertions mode, resulting in assertions that have an
effect on the program.  However, the expressions are analyzed for
semantic correctness whether or not assertions are enabled, so turning
assertions on and off cannot affect the legality of a program.

@node Pragma Assume_No_Invalid_Values
@unnumberedsec Pragma Assume_No_Invalid_Values
@findex Assume_No_Invalid_Values
@cindex Invalid representations
@cindex Invalid values
@noindent
Syntax:
@smallexample @c ada
pragma Assume_No_Invalid_Values (On | Off);
@end smallexample

@noindent
This is a configuration pragma that controls the assumptions made by the
compiler about the occurrence of invalid representations (invalid values)
in the code.

The default behavior (corresponding to an Off argument for this pragma), is
to assume that values may in general be invalid unless the compiler can
prove they are valid. Consider the following example:

@smallexample @c ada
V1 : Integer range 1 .. 10;
V2 : Integer range 11 .. 20;
...
for J in V2 .. V1 loop
   ...
end loop;
@end smallexample

@noindent
if V1 and V2 have valid values, then the loop is known at compile
time not to execute since the lower bound must be greater than the
upper bound. However in default mode, no such assumption is made,
and the loop may execute. If @code{Assume_No_Invalid_Values (On)}
is given, the compiler will assume that any occurrence of a variable
other than in an explicit @code{'Valid} test always has a valid
value, and the loop above will be optimized away.

The use of @code{Assume_No_Invalid_Values (On)} is appropriate if
you know your code is free of uninitialized variables and other
possible sources of invalid representations, and may result in
more efficient code. A program that accesses an invalid representation
with this pragma in effect is erroneous, so no guarantees can be made
about its behavior.

It is peculiar though permissible to use this pragma in conjunction
with validity checking (-gnatVa). In such cases, accessing invalid
values will generally give an exception, though formally the program
is erroneous so there are no guarantees that this will always be the
case, and it is recommended that these two options not be used together.

@node Pragma Ast_Entry
@unnumberedsec Pragma Ast_Entry
@cindex OpenVMS
@findex Ast_Entry
@noindent
Syntax:
@smallexample @c ada
pragma AST_Entry (entry_IDENTIFIER);
@end smallexample

@noindent
This pragma is implemented only in the OpenVMS implementation of GNAT@.  The
argument is the simple name of a single entry; at most one @code{AST_Entry}
pragma is allowed for any given entry.  This pragma must be used in
conjunction with the @code{AST_Entry} attribute, and is only allowed after
the entry declaration and in the same task type specification or single task
as the entry to which it applies.  This pragma specifies that the given entry
may be used to handle an OpenVMS asynchronous system trap (@code{AST})
resulting from an OpenVMS system service call.  The pragma does not affect
normal use of the entry.  For further details on this pragma, see the
DEC Ada Language Reference Manual, section 9.12a.

@node Pragma C_Pass_By_Copy
@unnumberedsec Pragma C_Pass_By_Copy
@cindex Passing by copy
@findex C_Pass_By_Copy
@noindent
Syntax:
@smallexample @c ada
pragma C_Pass_By_Copy
  ([Max_Size =>] static_integer_EXPRESSION);
@end smallexample

@noindent
Normally the default mechanism for passing C convention records to C
convention subprograms is to pass them by reference, as suggested by RM
B.3(69).  Use the configuration pragma @code{C_Pass_By_Copy} to change
this default, by requiring that record formal parameters be passed by
copy if all of the following conditions are met:

@itemize @bullet
@item
The size of the record type does not exceed the value specified for
@code{Max_Size}.
@item
The record type has @code{Convention C}.
@item
The formal parameter has this record type, and the subprogram has a
foreign (non-Ada) convention.
@end itemize

@noindent
If these conditions are met the argument is passed by copy, i.e.@: in a
manner consistent with what C expects if the corresponding formal in the
C prototype is a struct (rather than a pointer to a struct).

You can also pass records by copy by specifying the convention
@code{C_Pass_By_Copy} for the record type, or by using the extended
@code{Import} and @code{Export} pragmas, which allow specification of
passing mechanisms on a parameter by parameter basis.

@node Pragma Check
@unnumberedsec Pragma Check
@cindex Assertions
@cindex Named assertions
@findex Check
@noindent
Syntax:
@smallexample @c ada
pragma Check (
     [Name    =>] Identifier,
     [Check   =>] Boolean_EXPRESSION
  [, [Message =>] string_EXPRESSION] );
@end smallexample

@noindent
This pragma is similar to the predefined pragma @code{Assert} except that an
extra identifier argument is present. In conjunction with pragma
@code{Check_Policy}, this can be used to define groups of assertions that can
be independently controlled. The identifier @code{Assertion} is special, it
refers to the normal set of pragma @code{Assert} statements. The identifiers
@code{Precondition} and @code{Postcondition} correspond to the pragmas of these
names, so these three names would normally not be used directly in a pragma
@code{Check}.

Checks introduced by this pragma are normally deactivated by default. They can
be activated either by the command line option @option{-gnata}, which turns on
all checks, or individually controlled using pragma @code{Check_Policy}.

@node Pragma Check_Name
@unnumberedsec Pragma Check_Name
@cindex Defining check names
@cindex Check names, defining
@findex Check_Name
@noindent
Syntax:
@smallexample @c ada
pragma Check_Name (check_name_IDENTIFIER);
@end smallexample

@noindent
This is a configuration pragma that defines a new implementation
defined check name (unless IDENTIFIER matches one of the predefined
check names, in which case the pragma has no effect). Check names
are global to a partition, so if two or more configuration pragmas
are present in a partition mentioning the same name, only one new
check name is introduced.

An implementation defined check name introduced with this pragma may
be used in only three contexts: @code{pragma Suppress},
@code{pragma Unsuppress},
and as the prefix of a @code{Check_Name'Enabled} attribute reference. For
any of these three cases, the check name must be visible. A check
name is visible if it is in the configuration pragmas applying to
the current unit, or if it appears at the start of any unit that
is part of the dependency set of the current unit (e.g., units that
are mentioned in @code{with} clauses).

@node Pragma Check_Policy
@unnumberedsec Pragma Check_Policy
@cindex Controlling assertions

@cindex Named assertions
@findex Check
@noindent
Syntax:
@smallexample @c ada
pragma Check_Policy
 ([Name   =>] Identifier,
  [Policy =>] POLICY_IDENTIFIER);

POLICY_IDENTIFIER ::= On | Off | Check | Ignore
@end smallexample

@noindent
This pragma is similar to the predefined pragma @code{Assertion_Policy},
except that it controls sets of named assertions introduced using the
@code{Check} pragmas. It can be used as a configuration pragma or (unlike
@code{Assertion_Policy}) can be used within a declarative part, in which case
it controls the status to the end of the corresponding construct (in a manner
identical to pragma @code{Suppress)}.

The identifier given as the first argument corresponds to a name used in
associated @code{Check} pragmas. For example, if the pragma:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma Check_Policy (Critical_Error, Off);
@end smallexample

@noindent
is given, then subsequent @code{Check} pragmas whose first argument is also
@code{Critical_Error} will be disabled. The special identifier @code{Assertion}
controls the behavior of normal @code{Assert} pragmas (thus a pragma
@code{Check_Policy} with this identifier is similar to the normal
@code{Assertion_Policy} pragma except that it can appear within a
declarative part).

The special identifiers @code{Precondition} and @code{Postcondition} control
the status of preconditions and postconditions. If a @code{Precondition} pragma
is encountered, it is ignored if turned off by a @code{Check_Policy} specifying
that @code{Precondition} checks are @code{Off} or @code{Ignored}. Similarly use
of the name @code{Postcondition} controls whether @code{Postcondition} pragmas
are recognized.

The check policy is @code{Off} to turn off corresponding checks, and @code{On}
to turn on corresponding checks. The default for a set of checks for which no
@code{Check_Policy} is given is @code{Off} unless the compiler switch
@option{-gnata} is given, which turns on all checks by default.

The check policy settings @code{Check} and @code{Ignore} are also recognized
as synonyms for @code{On} and @code{Off}. These synonyms are provided for
compatibility with the standard @code{Assertion_Policy} pragma.

@node Pragma Comment
@unnumberedsec Pragma Comment
@findex Comment
@noindent
Syntax:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma Comment (static_string_EXPRESSION);
@end smallexample

@noindent
This is almost identical in effect to pragma @code{Ident}.  It allows the
placement of a comment into the object file and hence into the
executable file if the operating system permits such usage.  The
difference is that @code{Comment}, unlike @code{Ident}, has
no limitations on placement of the pragma (it can be placed
anywhere in the main source unit), and if more than one pragma
is used, all comments are retained.

  [, [External =>] EXTERNAL_SYMBOL]
  [, [Size     =>] EXTERNAL_SYMBOL] );

EXTERNAL_SYMBOL ::=
  IDENTIFIER
| static_string_EXPRESSION
@end smallexample

@noindent
This pragma enables the shared use of variables stored in overlaid
linker areas corresponding to the use of @code{COMMON}
in Fortran.  The single
object @var{LOCAL_NAME} is assigned to the area designated by
the @var{External} argument.
You may define a record to correspond to a series
of fields.  The @var{Size} argument
is syntax checked in GNAT, but otherwise ignored.

@code{Common_Object} is not supported on all platforms.  If no
support is available, then the code generator will issue a message
indicating that the necessary attribute for implementation of this
pragma is not available.

@node Pragma Compile_Time_Error

@findex Compile_Time_Error
@noindent
Syntax:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma Compile_Time_Error
         (boolean_EXPRESSION, static_string_EXPRESSION);
@end smallexample

@noindent
This pragma can be used to generate additional compile time
error messages. It
is particularly useful in generics, where errors can be issued for
specific problematic instantiations. The first parameter is a boolean
expression. The pragma is effective only if the value of this expression
is known at compile time, and has the value True. The set of expressions
whose values are known at compile time includes all static boolean
expressions, and also other values which the compiler can determine
at compile time (e.g., the size of a record type set by an explicit
size representation clause, or the value of a variable which was
initialized to a constant and is known not to have been modified).
If these conditions are met, an error message is generated using
the value given as the second argument. This string value may contain
embedded ASCII.LF characters to break the message into multiple lines.

@node Pragma Compile_Time_Warning

@findex Compile_Time_Warning
@noindent
Syntax:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma Compile_Time_Warning
         (boolean_EXPRESSION, static_string_EXPRESSION);
@end smallexample

@noindent
Same as pragma Compile_Time_Error, except a warning is issued instead
of an error message. Note that if this pragma is used in a package that
is with'ed by a client, the client will get the warning even though it
is issued by a with'ed package (normally warnings in with'ed units are
suppressed, but this is a special exception to that rule).

One typical use is within a generic where compile time known characteristics
of formal parameters are tested, and warnings given appropriately. Another use
with a first parameter of True is to warn a client about use of a package,
for example that it is not fully implemented.

@node Pragma Compiler_Unit
@unnumberedsec Pragma Compiler_Unit
@findex Compiler_Unit
@noindent
Syntax:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma Compiler_Unit;
@end smallexample

@noindent
This pragma is intended only for internal use in the GNAT run-time library.
It indicates that the unit is used as part of the compiler build. The effect
is to disallow constructs (raise with message, conditional expressions etc)
that would cause trouble when bootstrapping using an older version of GNAT.
For the exact list of restrictions, see the compiler sources and references
to Is_Compiler_Unit.

@node Pragma Complete_Representation
@unnumberedsec Pragma Complete_Representation
@findex Complete_Representation
@noindent
Syntax:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma Complete_Representation;
@end smallexample

@noindent
This pragma must appear immediately within a record representation
clause. Typical placements are before the first component clause
or after the last component clause. The effect is to give an error
message if any component is missing a component clause. This pragma
may be used to ensure that a record representation clause is
complete, and that this invariant is maintained if fields are
added to the record in the future.

@node Pragma Complex_Representation

@findex Complex_Representation
@noindent
Syntax:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma Complex_Representation
        ([Entity =>] LOCAL_NAME);
@end smallexample

@noindent
The @var{Entity} argument must be the name of a record type which has
two fields of the same floating-point type.  The effect of this pragma is
to force gcc to use the special internal complex representation form for
this record, which may be more efficient.  Note that this may result in
the code for this type not conforming to standard ABI (application
binary interface) requirements for the handling of record types.  For
example, in some environments, there is a requirement for passing
records by pointer, and the use of this pragma may result in passing
this type in floating-point registers.

@node Pragma Component_Alignment
@unnumberedsec Pragma Component_Alignment

@findex Component_Alignment
@noindent
Syntax:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma Component_Alignment (

  [, [Name =>] type_LOCAL_NAME]);

ALIGNMENT_CHOICE ::=
  Component_Size
| Component_Size_4
| Storage_Unit
| Default
@end smallexample

@noindent
Specifies the alignment of components in array or record types.
The meaning of the @var{Form} argument is as follows:

@table @code
@findex Component_Size
@item Component_Size
Aligns scalar components and subcomponents of the array or record type
on boundaries appropriate to their inherent size (naturally
aligned).  For example, 1-byte components are aligned on byte boundaries,
2-byte integer components are aligned on 2-byte boundaries, 4-byte
integer components are aligned on 4-byte boundaries and so on.  These
alignment rules correspond to the normal rules for C compilers on all
machines except the VAX@.

@findex Component_Size_4
@item Component_Size_4
Naturally aligns components with a size of four or fewer
bytes.  Components that are larger than 4 bytes are placed on the next
4-byte boundary.

@findex Storage_Unit
@item Storage_Unit
Specifies that array or record components are byte aligned, i.e.@:
aligned on boundaries determined by the value of the constant
@code{System.Storage_Unit}.

@cindex OpenVMS
@item Default
Specifies that array or record components are aligned on default
boundaries, appropriate to the underlying hardware or operating system or
both.  For OpenVMS VAX systems, the @code{Default} choice is the same as
the @code{Storage_Unit} choice (byte alignment).  For all other systems,
the @code{Default} choice is the same as @code{Component_Size} (natural
alignment).
@end table

@noindent
If the @code{Name} parameter is present, @var{type_LOCAL_NAME} must
refer to a local record or array type, and the specified alignment
choice applies to the specified type.  The use of
@code{Component_Alignment} together with a pragma @code{Pack} causes the
@code{Component_Alignment} pragma to be ignored.  The use of
@code{Component_Alignment} together with a record representation clause
is only effective for fields not specified by the representation clause.

If the @code{Name} parameter is absent, the pragma can be used as either
a configuration pragma, in which case it applies to one or more units in
accordance with the normal rules for configuration pragmas, or it can be
used within a declarative part, in which case it applies to types that
are declared within this declarative part, or within any nested scope
within this declarative part.  In either case it specifies the alignment
to be applied to any record or array type which has otherwise standard
representation.

If the alignment for a record or array type is not specified (using
pragma @code{Pack}, pragma @code{Component_Alignment}, or a record rep
clause), the GNAT uses the default alignment as described previously.

@node Pragma Convention_Identifier

Syntax:

pragma Convention_Identifier (
         [Name =>]       IDENTIFIER,
         [Convention =>] convention_IDENTIFIER);
@end smallexample

@noindent
This pragma provides a mechanism for supplying synonyms for existing
convention identifiers. The @code{Name} identifier can subsequently
be used as a synonym for the given convention in other pragmas (including
for example pragma @code{Import} or another @code{Convention_Identifier}
pragma). As an example of the use of this, suppose you had legacy code
which used Fortran77 as the identifier for Fortran. Then the pragma:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma Convention_Identifier (Fortran77, Fortran);
@end smallexample

@noindent
would allow the use of the convention identifier @code{Fortran77} in
subsequent code, avoiding the need to modify the sources. As another
example, you could use this to parametrize convention requirements
according to systems. Suppose you needed to use @code{Stdcall} on
windows systems, and @code{C} on some other system, then you could
define a convention identifier @code{Library} and use a single
@code{Convention_Identifier} pragma to specify which convention
would be used system-wide.

@node Pragma CPP_Class
@unnumberedsec Pragma CPP_Class
@findex CPP_Class
@cindex Interfacing with C++
@noindent
Syntax:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma CPP_Class ([Entity =>] LOCAL_NAME);
@end smallexample

@noindent
The argument denotes an entity in the current declarative region that is
declared as a record type. It indicates that the type corresponds to an
externally declared C++ class type, and is to be laid out the same way
that C++ would lay out the type. If the C++ class has virtual primitives
then the record must be declared as a tagged record type.

Types for which @code{CPP_Class} is specified do not have assignment or
equality operators defined (such operations can be imported or declared
as subprograms as required). Initialization is allowed only by constructor
functions (see pragma @code{CPP_Constructor}). Such types are implicitly
limited if not explicitly declared as limited or derived from a limited
type, and an error is issued in that case.

Pragma @code{CPP_Class} is intended primarily for automatic generation
using an automatic binding generator tool.
See @ref{Interfacing to C++} for related information.

Note: Pragma @code{CPP_Class} is currently obsolete. It is supported
for backward compatibility but its functionality is available
using pragma @code{Import} with @code{Convention} = @code{CPP}.

@node Pragma CPP_Constructor

pragma CPP_Constructor ([Entity =>] LOCAL_NAME
  [, [External_Name =>] static_string_EXPRESSION ]
  [, [Link_Name     =>] static_string_EXPRESSION ]);
@end smallexample

@noindent
This pragma identifies an imported function (imported in the usual way
with pragma @code{Import}) as corresponding to a C++ constructor. If
@code{External_Name} and @code{Link_Name} are not specified then the
@code{Entity} argument is a name that must have been previously mentioned
in a pragma @code{Import} with @code{Convention} = @code{CPP}. Such name
must be of one of the following forms:

@itemize @bullet
@item
@code{function @var{Fname} return @var{T}}

@itemize @bullet
@item
@code{function @var{Fname} return @var{T}'Class}

@item
@code{function @var{Fname} (@dots{}) return @var{T}}
@end itemize

@item
@code{function @var{Fname} (@dots{}) return @var{T}'Class}
@end itemize

@noindent
where @var{T} is a limited record type imported from C++ with pragma
@code{Import} and @code{Convention} = @code{CPP}.

The first two forms import the default constructor, used when an object
of type @var{T} is created on the Ada side with no explicit constructor.
The latter two forms cover all the non-default constructors of the type.
See the GNAT users guide for details.

If no constructors are imported, it is impossible to create any objects
on the Ada side and the type is implicitly declared abstract.

Pragma @code{CPP_Constructor} is intended primarily for automatic generation
using an automatic binding generator tool.
See @ref{Interfacing to C++} for more related information.

Note: The use of functions returning class-wide types for constructors is
currently obsolete. They are supported for backward compatibility. The
use of functions returning the type T leave the Ada sources more clear
because the imported C++ constructors always return an object of type T;
that is, they never return an object whose type is a descendant of type T.

@noindent
The procedure call argument has the syntactic form of an expression, meeting
the syntactic requirements for pragmas.

If debug pragmas are not enabled or if the condition is present and evaluates
to False, this pragma has no effect. If debug pragmas are enabled, the
semantics of the pragma is exactly equivalent to the procedure call statement
corresponding to the argument with a terminating semicolon. Pragmas are
permitted in sequences of declarations, so you can use pragma @code{Debug} to
intersperse calls to debug procedures in the middle of declarations. Debug
pragmas can be enabled either by use of the command line switch @option{-gnata}
or by use of the configuration pragma @code{Debug_Policy}.

SOURCE_TRACE    ::= STRING_VALUE

STRING_VALUE ::= STRING_LITERAL @{& STRING_LITERAL@}
@end smallexample

@noindent
This pragma indicates that the given entity is not used outside the
compilation unit it is defined in. The entity must be an explicitly declared
subprogram; this includes  generic subprogram instances and
subprograms declared in generic package instances.

If the entity to be eliminated is a library level subprogram, then
the first form of pragma @code{Eliminate} is used with only a single argument.
In this form, the @code{Unit_Name} argument specifies the name of the
library  level unit to be eliminated.

In all other cases, both @code{Unit_Name} and @code{Entity} arguments
are required. If item is an entity of a library package, then the first
argument specifies the unit name, and the second argument specifies
the particular entity.  If the second argument is in string form, it must
correspond to the internal manner in which GNAT stores entity names (see
compilation unit Namet in the compiler sources for details).

The remaining parameters (OVERLOADING_RESOLUTION) are optionally used
to distinguish between overloaded subprograms. If a pragma does not contain
the OVERLOADING_RESOLUTION parameter(s), it is applied to all the overloaded
subprograms denoted by the first two parameters.

Use PARAMETER_AND_RESULT_TYPE_PROFILE to specify the profile of the subprogram
to be eliminated in a manner similar to that used for the extended
@code{Import} and @code{Export} pragmas, except that the subtype names are
always given as strings. At the moment, this form of distinguishing
overloaded subprograms is implemented only partially, so we do not recommend
using it for practical subprogram elimination.

Note that in case of a parameterless procedure its profile is represented
as @code{Parameter_Types => ("")}

Alternatively, the @code{Source_Location} parameter is used to specify
which overloaded alternative is to be eliminated by pointing to the
location of the DEFINING_PROGRAM_UNIT_NAME of this subprogram in the
source text. The string literal (or concatenation of string literals)
given as SOURCE_TRACE must have the following format:

@smallexample @c ada
SOURCE_TRACE ::= SOURCE_LOCATION@{LBRACKET SOURCE_LOCATION RBRACKET@}

LBRACKET ::= [
RBRACKET ::= ]

SOURCE_LOCATION ::= FILE_NAME:LINE_NUMBER
FILE_NAME       ::= STRING_LITERAL
LINE_NUMBER     ::= DIGIT @{DIGIT@}
@end smallexample

SOURCE_TRACE should be the short name of the source file (with no directory
information), and LINE_NUMBER is supposed to point to the line where the
defining name of the subprogram is located.

For the subprograms that are not a part of generic instantiations, only one
SOURCE_LOCATION is used. If a subprogram is declared in a package
instantiation, SOURCE_TRACE contains two SOURCE_LOCATIONs, the first one is
the location of the (DEFINING_PROGRAM_UNIT_NAME of the) instantiation, and the
second one denotes the declaration of the corresponding subprogram in the
generic package. This approach is recursively used to create SOURCE_LOCATIONs
in case of nested instantiations.

The effect of the pragma is to allow the compiler to eliminate
the code or data associated with the named entity.  Any reference to
an eliminated entity outside the compilation unit it is defined in,
causes a compile time or link time error.

The intention of pragma @code{Eliminate} is to allow a program to be compiled
in a system independent manner, with unused entities eliminated, without
the requirement of modifying the source text.  Normally the required set
of @code{Eliminate} pragmas is constructed automatically using the gnatelim
tool. Elimination of unused entities local to a compilation unit is
automatic, without requiring the use of pragma @code{Eliminate}.

Note that the reason this pragma takes string literals where names might
be expected is that a pragma @code{Eliminate} can appear in a context where the
relevant names are not visible.

Note that any change in the source files that includes removing, splitting of
adding lines may make the set of Eliminate pragmas using SOURCE_LOCATION
parameter illegal.

It is legal to use pragma Eliminate where the referenced entity is a
dispatching operation, but it is not clear what this would mean, since
in general the call does not know which entity is actually being called.
Consequently, a pragma Eliminate for a dispatching operation is ignored.

Use this pragma to make a function externally callable and optionally
provide information on mechanisms to be used for passing parameter and
result values.  We recommend, for the purposes of improving portability,
this pragma always be used in conjunction with a separate pragma
@code{Export}, which must precede the pragma @code{Export_Function}.
GNAT does not require a separate pragma @code{Export}, but if none is
present, @code{Convention Ada} is assumed, which is usually
not what is wanted, so it is usually appropriate to use this
pragma in conjunction with a @code{Export} or @code{Convention}
pragma that specifies the desired foreign convention.
Pragma @code{Export_Function}
(and @code{Export}, if present) must appear in the same declarative
region as the function to which they apply.

@var{internal_name} must uniquely designate the function to which the
pragma applies.  If more than one function name exists of this name in
the declarative part you must use the @code{Parameter_Types} and
@code{Result_Type} parameters is mandatory to achieve the required
unique designation.  @var{subtype_mark}s in these parameters must
exactly match the subtypes in the corresponding function specification,
using positional notation to match parameters with subtype marks.
The form with an @code{'Access} attribute can be used to match an
anonymous access parameter.

@cindex OpenVMS

Passing by descriptor is supported only on the OpenVMS ports of GNAT@.
The default behavior for Export_Function is to accept either 64bit or

descriptors are accepted.

@cindex Suppressing external name

@noindent
This pragma serves to export a static integer value for external use.
The first argument specifies the value to be exported. The Link_Name
argument specifies the symbolic name to be associated with the integer
value. This pragma is useful for defining a named static value in Ada
that can be referenced in assembly language units to be linked with
the application. This pragma is currently supported only for the

@end smallexample

@noindent
This pragma is identical to @code{Export_Procedure} except that the
first parameter of @var{LOCAL_NAME}, which must be present, must be of
mode @code{OUT}, and externally the subprogram is treated as a function
with this parameter as the result of the function.  GNAT provides for
this capability to allow the use of @code{OUT} and @code{IN OUT}
parameters in interfacing to external functions (which are not permitted
in Ada functions).
GNAT does not require a separate pragma @code{Export}, but if none is
present, @code{Convention Ada} is assumed, which is almost certainly
not what is wanted since the whole point of this pragma is to interface
with foreign language functions, so it is usually appropriate to use this
pragma in conjunction with a @code{Export} or @code{Convention}
pragma that specifies the desired foreign convention.

@cindex OpenVMS
@cindex Passing by descriptor
Passing by descriptor is supported only on the OpenVMS ports of GNAT@.
The default behavior for Export_Valued_Procedure is to accept either 64bit or
32bit descriptors unless short_descriptor is specified, then only 32bit
descriptors are accepted.

@cindex Suppressing external name
Special treatment is given if the EXTERNAL is an explicit null

@noindent
Syntax:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma Extend_System ([Name =>] IDENTIFIER);
@end smallexample

@noindent
This pragma is used to provide backwards compatibility with other
implementations that extend the facilities of package @code{System}.  In
GNAT, @code{System} contains only the definitions that are present in
the Ada RM@.  However, other implementations, notably the DEC Ada 83
implementation, provide many extensions to package @code{System}.

For each such implementation accommodated by this pragma, GNAT provides a
package @code{Aux_@var{xxx}}, e.g.@: @code{Aux_DEC} for the DEC Ada 83
implementation, which provides the required additional definitions.  You
can use this package in two ways.  You can @code{with} it in the normal
way and access entities either by selection or using a @code{use}
clause.  In this case no special processing is required.

However, if existing code contains references such as
@code{System.@var{xxx}} where @var{xxx} is an entity in the extended
definitions provided in package @code{System}, you may use this pragma
to extend visibility in @code{System} in a non-standard way that
provides greater compatibility with the existing code.  Pragma
@code{Extend_System} is a configuration pragma whose single argument is
the name of the package containing the extended definition
(e.g.@: @code{Aux_DEC} for the DEC Ada case).  A unit compiled under
control of this pragma will be processed using special visibility
processing that looks in package @code{System.Aux_@var{xxx}} where
@code{Aux_@var{xxx}} is the pragma argument for any entity referenced in
package @code{System}, but not found in package @code{System}.

You can use this pragma either to access a predefined @code{System}
extension supplied with the compiler, for example @code{Aux_DEC} or
you can construct your own extension unit following the above
definition.  Note that such a package is a child of @code{System}
and thus is considered part of the implementation.  To compile
it you will have to use the appropriate switch for compiling
system units.  @xref{Top, @value{EDITION} User's Guide, About This

@noindent
This pragma is identical in syntax and semantics to pragma

@noindent
Syntax:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma External_Name_Casing (
  Uppercase | Lowercase
  [, Uppercase | Lowercase | As_Is]);
@end smallexample

@noindent
This pragma provides control over the casing of external names associated
with Import and Export pragmas.  There are two cases to consider:

@table @asis
@item Implicit external names
Implicit external names are derived from identifiers.  The most common case
arises when a standard Ada Import or Export pragma is used with only two
arguments, as in:

@smallexample @c ada
   pragma Import (C, C_Routine);
@end smallexample

@noindent
Since Ada is a case-insensitive language, the spelling of the identifier in
the Ada source program does not provide any information on the desired
casing of the external name, and so a convention is needed.  In GNAT the
default treatment is that such names are converted to all lower case
letters.  This corresponds to the normal C style in many environments.
The first argument of pragma @code{External_Name_Casing} can be used to
control this treatment.  If @code{Uppercase} is specified, then the name
will be forced to all uppercase letters.  If @code{Lowercase} is specified,
then the normal default of all lower case letters will be used.

This same implicit treatment is also used in the case of extended DEC Ada 83
compatible Import and Export pragmas where an external name is explicitly
specified using an identifier rather than a string.

@item Explicit external names
Explicit external names are given as string literals.  The most common case
arises when a standard Ada Import or Export pragma is used with three
arguments, as in:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma Import (C, C_Routine, "C_routine");
@end smallexample

@noindent
In this case, the string literal normally provides the exact casing required
for the external name.  The second argument of pragma
@code{External_Name_Casing} may be used to modify this behavior.
If @code{Uppercase} is specified, then the name
will be forced to all uppercase letters.  If @code{Lowercase} is specified,
then the name will be forced to all lowercase letters.  A specification of
@code{As_Is} provides the normal default behavior in which the casing is
taken from the string provided.
@end table

@noindent
This pragma may appear anywhere that a pragma is valid.  In particular, it
can be used as a configuration pragma in the @file{gnat.adc} file, in which
case it applies to all subsequent compilations, or it can be used as a program
unit pragma, in which case it only applies to the current unit, or it can
be used more locally to control individual Import/Export pragmas.

It is primarily intended for use with OpenVMS systems, where many
compilers convert all symbols to upper case by default.  For interfacing to
such compilers (e.g.@: the DEC C compiler), it may be convenient to use
the pragma:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma External_Name_Casing (Uppercase, Uppercase);
@end smallexample

to enforce the upper casing of all external symbols.

This is a configuration pragma which activates a mode in which speed is
considered more important for floating-point operations than absolutely
accurate adherence to the requirements of the standard. Currently the
following operations are affected:

@table @asis
@item Complex Multiplication
The normal simple formula for complex multiplication can result in intermediate
overflows for numbers near the end of the range. The Ada standard requires that
this situation be detected and corrected by scaling, but in Fast_Math mode such
cases will simply result in overflow. Note that to take advantage of this you
must instantiate your own version of @code{Ada.Numerics.Generic_Complex_Types}
under control of the pragma, rather than use the preinstantiated versions.

@noindent
The named type must be an access-to-subprogram type. This pragma is an
efficiency hint to the compiler, regarding the use of 'Access or
'Unrestricted_Access on nested (non-library-level) subprograms. The
pragma means that nested subprograms are not used with this type, or
are rare, so that the generated code should be efficient in the
top-level case. When this pragma is used, dynamically generated
trampolines may be used on some targets for nested subprograms.

This pragma allows the compiler not to emit a Finalize call for objects

finalization is only used to deal with storage reclamation since in most
environments it is not necessary to reclaim memory just before terminating
execution, hence the name.

@noindent
In the one argument form, this pragma is a configuration pragma which
allows control over the internal representation chosen for the predefined
floating point types declared in the packages @code{Standard} and
@code{System}. On all systems other than OpenVMS, the argument must
be @code{IEEE_Float} and the pragma has no effect. On OpenVMS, the
argument may be @code{VAX_Float} to specify the use of the VAX float
format for the floating-point types in Standard. This requires that
the standard runtime libraries be recompiled.  @xref{The GNAT Run-Time
Library Builder gnatlbr,,, gnat_ugn, @value{EDITION} User's Guide

The two argument form specifies the representation to be used for
the specified floating-point type. On all systems other than OpenVMS,
the argument must
be @code{IEEE_Float} and the pragma has no effect. On OpenVMS, the
argument may be @code{VAX_Float} to specify the use of the VAX float
format, as follows:

@itemize @bullet
@item
For digits values up to 6, F float format will be used.

This pragma is allowed only in the outermost declarative part or
declarative items of a compilation unit. If more than one @code{Ident}
pragma is given, only the last one processed is effective.
@cindex OpenVMS
On OpenVMS systems, the effect of the pragma is identical to the effect of
the DEC Ada 83 pragma of the same name. Note that in DEC Ada 83, the
maximum allowed length is 31 characters, so if it is important to
maintain compatibility with this compiler, you should obey this length
limit.

This is a representation pragma which applies to protected, synchronized and

of interface Iface, it is illegal to override Op in a type that implements

NOTE: The pragma is still in its design stage by the Ada Rapporteur Group. It
is intended to be used in conjunction with dispatching requeue statements as
described in AI05-0030. Should the ARG decide on an official name and syntax,
this pragma will become language-defined rather than GNAT-specific.

@node Pragma Implicit_Packing
@unnumberedsec Pragma Implicit_Packing
@findex Implicit_Packing
@noindent
Syntax:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma Implicit_Packing;
@end smallexample

@noindent
This is a configuration pragma that requests implicit packing for packed
arrays for which a size clause is given but no explicit pragma Pack or
specification of Component_Size is present. It also applies to records
where no record representation clause is present. Consider this example:

@smallexample @c ada
type R is array (0 .. 7) of Boolean;
for R'Size use 8;
@end smallexample

@noindent
In accordance with the recommendation in the RM (RM 13.3(53)), a Size clause
does not change the layout of a composite object. So the Size clause in the
above example is normally rejected, since the default layout of the array uses
8-bit components, and thus the array requires a minimum of 64 bits.

If this declaration is compiled in a region of code covered by an occurrence
of the configuration pragma Implicit_Packing, then the Size clause in this
and similar examples will cause implicit packing and thus be accepted. For
this implicit packing to occur, the type in question must be an array of small
components whose size is known at compile time, and the Size clause must
specify the exact size that corresponds to the length of the array multiplied
by the size in bits of the component type.
@cindex Array packing

Similarly, the following example shows the use in the record case

@smallexample @c ada
type r is record
   a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h : boolean;
   chr                    : character;
end record;
for r'size use 16;
@end smallexample

@noindent
Without a pragma Pack, each Boolean field requires 8 bits, so the
minimum size is 72 bits, but with a pragma Pack, 16 bits would be
sufficient. The use of pragma Implciit_Packing allows this record
declaration to compile without an explicit pragma Pack.

@end smallexample

@noindent
This pragma is used in conjunction with a pragma @code{Import} to
specify additional information for an imported function.  The pragma
@code{Import} (or equivalent pragma @code{Interface}) must precede the
@code{Import_Function} pragma and both must appear in the same
declarative part as the function specification.

The @var{Internal} argument must uniquely designate
the function to which the
pragma applies.  If more than one function name exists of this name in
the declarative part you must use the @code{Parameter_Types} and
@var{Result_Type} parameters to achieve the required unique
designation.  Subtype marks in these parameters must exactly match the
subtypes in the corresponding function specification, using positional
notation to match parameters with subtype marks.
The form with an @code{'Access} attribute can be used to match an
anonymous access parameter.

You may optionally use the @var{Mechanism} and @var{Result_Mechanism}
parameters to specify passing mechanisms for the
parameters and result.  If you specify a single mechanism name, it
applies to all parameters.  Otherwise you may specify a mechanism on a
parameter by parameter basis using either positional or named
notation.  If the mechanism is not specified, the default mechanism
is used.

@cindex OpenVMS
@cindex Passing by descriptor
Passing by descriptor is supported only on the OpenVMS ports of GNAT@.
The default behavior for Import_Function is to pass a 64bit descriptor
unless short_descriptor is specified, then a 32bit descriptor is passed.

@code{First_Optional_Parameter} applies only to OpenVMS ports of GNAT@.
It specifies that the designated parameter and all following parameters
are optional, meaning that they are not passed at the generated code
level (this is distinct from the notion of optional parameters in Ada
where the parameters are passed anyway with the designated optional
parameters).  All optional parameters must be of mode @code{IN} and have
default parameter values that are either known at compile time
expressions, or uses of the @code{'Null_Parameter} attribute.

This pragma designates an object as imported, and apart from the

the normal @code{Import} pragma applied to an object.  Unlike the

first parameter of @var{LOCAL_NAME}, which must be present, must be of
mode @code{OUT}, and externally the subprogram is treated as a function
with this parameter as the result of the function.  The purpose of this
capability is to allow the use of @code{OUT} and @code{IN OUT}
parameters in interfacing to external functions (which are not permitted
in Ada functions).  You may optionally use the @code{Mechanism}
parameters to specify passing mechanisms for the parameters.
If you specify a single mechanism name, it applies to all parameters.
Otherwise you may specify a mechanism on a parameter by parameter
basis using either positional or named notation.  If the mechanism is not

default convention is Ada, which is almost certainly not what is required.

@node Pragma Initialize_Scalars

@cindex debugging with Initialize_Scalars
@noindent
Syntax:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma Initialize_Scalars;
@end smallexample

@noindent
This pragma is similar to @code{Normalize_Scalars} conceptually but has
two important differences.  First, there is no requirement for the pragma
to be used uniformly in all units of a partition, in particular, it is fine
to use this just for some or all of the application units of a partition,
without needing to recompile the run-time library.

In the case where some units are compiled with the pragma, and some without,
then a declaration of a variable where the type is defined in package
Standard or is locally declared will always be subject to initialization,
as will any declaration of a scalar variable.  For composite variables,
whether the variable is initialized may also depend on whether the package
in which the type of the variable is declared is compiled with the pragma.

The other important difference is that you can control the value used
for initializing scalar objects.  At bind time, you can select several
options for initialization. You can
initialize with invalid values (similar to Normalize_Scalars, though for
Initialize_Scalars it is not always possible to determine the invalid
values in complex cases like signed component fields with non-standard
sizes). You can also initialize with high or
low values, or with a specified bit pattern.  See the users guide for binder
options for specifying these cases.

This means that you can compile a program, and then without having to
recompile the program, you can run it with different values being used
for initializing otherwise uninitialized values, to test if your program
behavior depends on the choice.  Of course the behavior should not change,
and if it does, then most likely you have an erroneous reference to an
uninitialized value.

It is even possible to change the value at execution time eliminating even
the need to rebind with a different switch using an environment variable.
See the GNAT users guide for details.

Note that pragma @code{Initialize_Scalars} is particularly useful in
conjunction with the enhanced validity checking that is now provided
in GNAT, which checks for invalid values under more conditions.
Using this feature (see description of the @option{-gnatV} flag in the
users guide) in conjunction with pragma @code{Initialize_Scalars}
provides a powerful new tool to assist in the detection of problems
caused by uninitialized variables.

Note: the use of @code{Initialize_Scalars} has a fairly extensive
effect on the generated code. This may cause your code to be
substantially larger. It may also cause an increase in the amount
of stack required, so it is probably a good idea to turn on stack
checking (see description of stack checking in the GNAT users guide)
when using this pragma.

@noindent
This pragma is identical in syntax and semantics to
the standard Ada pragma @code{Import}.  It is provided for compatibility
with Ada 83.  The definition is upwards compatible both with pragma
@code{Interface} as defined in the Ada 83 Reference Manual, and also

@end smallexample

@noindent
This pragma provides an alternative way of specifying the interface name
for an interfaced subprogram, and is provided for compatibility with Ada
83 compilers that use the pragma for this purpose.  You must provide at
least one of @var{External_Name} or @var{Link_Name}.

@unnumberedsec Pragma Interrupt_Handler

@noindent
Syntax:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma Interrupt_Handler (procedure_LOCAL_NAME);
@end smallexample

@noindent
This program unit pragma is supported for parameterless protected procedures
as described in Annex C of the Ada Reference Manual. On the AAMP target
the pragma can also be specified for nonprotected parameterless procedures
that are declared at the library level (which includes procedures
declared at the top level of a library package). In the case of AAMP,
when this pragma is applied to a nonprotected procedure, the instruction
@code{IERET} is generated for returns from the procedure, enabling
maskable interrupts, in place of the normal return instruction.

@node Pragma Interrupt_State
@unnumberedsec Pragma Interrupt_State
@findex Interrupt_State
@noindent
Syntax:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma Interrupt_State
 ([Name  =>] value,
  [State =>] SYSTEM | RUNTIME | USER);
@end smallexample

@noindent
Normally certain interrupts are reserved to the implementation.  Any attempt
to attach an interrupt causes Program_Error to be raised, as described in
RM C.3.2(22).  A typical example is the @code{SIGINT} interrupt used in
many systems for an @kbd{Ctrl-C} interrupt.  Normally this interrupt is
reserved to the implementation, so that @kbd{Ctrl-C} can be used to
interrupt execution.  Additionally, signals such as @code{SIGSEGV},
@code{SIGABRT}, @code{SIGFPE} and @code{SIGILL} are often mapped to specific
Ada exceptions, or used to implement run-time functions such as the
@code{abort} statement and stack overflow checking.

Pragma @code{Interrupt_State} provides a general mechanism for overriding
such uses of interrupts.  It subsumes the functionality of pragma
@code{Unreserve_All_Interrupts}.  Pragma @code{Interrupt_State} is not
available on OS/2, Windows or VMS.  On all other platforms than VxWorks,
it applies to signals; on VxWorks, it applies to vectored hardware interrupts
and may be used to mark interrupts required by the board support package
as reserved.

Interrupts can be in one of three states:
@itemize @bullet
@item System

The interrupt is reserved (no Ada handler can be installed), and the
Ada run-time may not install a handler. As a result you are guaranteed
standard system default action if this interrupt is raised.

@item Runtime

The interrupt is reserved (no Ada handler can be installed). The run time
is allowed to install a handler for internal control purposes, but is
not required to do so.

@item User

The interrupt is unreserved.  The user may install a handler to provide
some other action.
@end itemize

@noindent
These states are the allowed values of the @code{State} parameter of the
pragma.  The @code{Name} parameter is a value of the type
@code{Ada.Interrupts.Interrupt_ID}.  Typically, it is a name declared in
@code{Ada.Interrupts.Names}.

This is a configuration pragma, and the binder will check that there
are no inconsistencies between different units in a partition in how a
given interrupt is specified. It may appear anywhere a pragma is legal.

The effect is to move the interrupt to the specified state.

By declaring interrupts to be SYSTEM, you guarantee the standard system
action, such as a core dump.

By declaring interrupts to be USER, you guarantee that you can install
a handler.

Note that certain signals on many operating systems cannot be caught and
handled by applications.  In such cases, the pragma is ignored.  See the
operating system documentation, or the value of the array @code{Reserved}
declared in the spec of package @code{System.OS_Interface}.

Overriding the default state of signals used by the Ada runtime may interfere
with an application's runtime behavior in the cases of the synchronous signals,
and in the case of the signal used to implement the @code{abort} statement.

@node Pragma Keep_Names
@unnumberedsec Pragma Keep_Names
@findex Keep_Names
@noindent
Syntax:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma Keep_Names ([On =>] enumeration_first_subtype_LOCAL_NAME);
@end smallexample

@noindent
The @var{LOCAL_NAME} argument
must refer to an enumeration first subtype
in the current declarative part. The effect is to retain the enumeration
literal names for use by @code{Image} and @code{Value} even if a global
@code{Discard_Names} pragma applies. This is useful when you want to
generally suppress enumeration literal names and for example you therefore
use a @code{Discard_Names} pragma in the @file{gnat.adc} file, but you
want to retain the names for specific enumeration types.

@node Pragma License
@unnumberedsec Pragma License
@findex License
@cindex License checking
@noindent
Syntax:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma License (Unrestricted | GPL | Modified_GPL | Restricted);
@end smallexample

@noindent
This pragma is provided to allow automated checking for appropriate license
conditions with respect to the standard and modified GPL@.  A pragma
@code{License}, which is a configuration pragma that typically appears at
the start of a source file or in a separate @file{gnat.adc} file, specifies
the licensing conditions of a unit as follows:

@itemize @bullet
@item Unrestricted
This is used for a unit that can be freely used with no license restrictions.
Examples of such units are public domain units, and units from the Ada
Reference Manual.

@item GPL
This is used for a unit that is licensed under the unmodified GPL, and which
therefore cannot be @code{with}'ed by a restricted unit.

@item Modified_GPL
This is used for a unit licensed under the GNAT modified GPL that includes
a special exception paragraph that specifically permits the inclusion of
the unit in programs without requiring the entire program to be released
under the GPL@.

@item Restricted
This is used for a unit that is restricted in that it is not permitted to
depend on units that are licensed under the GPL@.  Typical examples are
proprietary code that is to be released under more restrictive license
conditions.  Note that restricted units are permitted to @code{with} units
which are licensed under the modified GPL (this is the whole point of the
modified GPL).

@end itemize

@noindent
Normally a unit with no @code{License} pragma is considered to have an
unknown license, and no checking is done.  However, standard GNAT headers
are recognized, and license information is derived from them as follows.

@itemize @bullet

A GNAT license header starts with a line containing 78 hyphens.  The following
comment text is searched for the appearance of any of the following strings.

If the string ``GNU General Public License'' is found, then the unit is assumed
to have GPL license, unless the string ``As a special exception'' follows, in
which case the license is assumed to be modified GPL@.

If one of the strings
``This specification is adapted from the Ada Semantic Interface'' or
``This specification is derived from the Ada Reference Manual'' is found
then the unit is assumed to be unrestricted.
@end itemize

@noindent
These default actions means that a program with a restricted license pragma
will automatically get warnings if a GPL unit is inappropriately
@code{with}'ed.  For example, the program:

@smallexample @c ada
with Sem_Ch3;
with GNAT.Sockets;
procedure Secret_Stuff is
  @dots{}
end Secret_Stuff
@end smallexample

@noindent
if compiled with pragma @code{License} (@code{Restricted}) in a
@file{gnat.adc} file will generate the warning:

@smallexample
1.  with Sem_Ch3;
        |
   >>> license of withed unit "Sem_Ch3" is incompatible

2.  with GNAT.Sockets;
3.  procedure Secret_Stuff is
@end smallexample

@noindent
Here we get a warning on @code{Sem_Ch3} since it is part of the GNAT
compiler and is licensed under the
GPL, but no warning for @code{GNAT.Sockets} which is part of the GNAT
run time, and is therefore licensed under the modified GPL@.

@end smallexample

@noindent
This pragma is provided for compatibility with certain Ada 83 compilers.
It has exactly the same effect as pragma @code{Linker_Options} except
that spaces occurring within one of the string expressions are treated
as separators. For example, in the following case:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma Link_With ("-labc -ldef");
@end smallexample

@noindent
results in passing the strings @code{-labc} and @code{-ldef} as two
separate arguments to the linker. In addition pragma Link_With allows
multiple arguments, with the same effect as successive pragmas.

@node Pragma Linker_Alias

@noindent
Syntax:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma Linker_Alias (
  [Entity =>] LOCAL_NAME,
  [Target =>] static_string_EXPRESSION);
@end smallexample

@noindent
@var{LOCAL_NAME} must refer to an object that is declared at the library
level. This pragma establishes the given entity as a linker alias for the
given target. It is equivalent to @code{__attribute__((alias))} in GNU C
and causes @var{LOCAL_NAME} to be emitted as an alias for the symbol
@var{static_string_EXPRESSION} in the object file, that is to say no space
is reserved for @var{LOCAL_NAME} by the assembler and it will be resolved
to the same address as @var{static_string_EXPRESSION} by the linker.

The actual linker name for the target must be used (e.g.@: the fully
encoded name with qualification in Ada, or the mangled name in C++),
or it must be declared using the C convention with @code{pragma Import}
or @code{pragma Export}.

Not all target machines support this pragma. On some of them it is accepted
only if @code{pragma Weak_External} has been applied to @var{LOCAL_NAME}.

@smallexample @c ada
--  Example of the use of pragma Linker_Alias

package p is
  i : Integer := 1;
  pragma Export (C, i);

  new_name_for_i : Integer;

@unnumberedsec Pragma Linker_Constructor
@findex Linker_Constructor
@noindent
Syntax:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma Linker_Constructor (procedure_LOCAL_NAME);
@end smallexample

@noindent
@var{procedure_LOCAL_NAME} must refer to a parameterless procedure that
is declared at the library level. A procedure to which this pragma is
applied will be treated as an initialization routine by the linker.
It is equivalent to @code{__attribute__((constructor))} in GNU C and
causes @var{procedure_LOCAL_NAME} to be invoked before the entry point
of the executable is called (or immediately after the shared library is
loaded if the procedure is linked in a shared library), in particular
before the Ada run-time environment is set up.

Because of these specific contexts, the set of operations such a procedure
can perform is very limited and the type of objects it can manipulate is
essentially restricted to the elementary types. In particular, it must only
contain code to which pragma Restrictions (No_Elaboration_Code) applies.

This pragma is used by GNAT to implement auto-initialization of shared Stand
Alone Libraries, which provides a related capability without the restrictions
listed above. Where possible, the use of Stand Alone Libraries is preferable
to the use of this pragma.

Syntax:

@smallexample @c ada

@end smallexample

@noindent
@var{procedure_LOCAL_NAME} must refer to a parameterless procedure that
is declared at the library level. A procedure to which this pragma is
applied will be treated as a finalization routine by the linker.
It is equivalent to @code{__attribute__((destructor))} in GNU C and
causes @var{procedure_LOCAL_NAME} to be invoked after the entry point
of the executable has exited (or immediately before the shared library
is unloaded if the procedure is linked in a shared library), in particular
after the Ada run-time environment is shut down.

See @code{pragma Linker_Constructor} for the set of restrictions that apply
because of these specific contexts.

@node Pragma Linker_Section

@noindent
Syntax:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma Linker_Section (
  [Entity  =>] LOCAL_NAME,
  [Section =>] static_string_EXPRESSION);
@end smallexample

@noindent
@var{LOCAL_NAME} must refer to an object that is declared at the library
level. This pragma specifies the name of the linker section for the given
entity. It is equivalent to @code{__attribute__((section))} in GNU C and
causes @var{LOCAL_NAME} to be placed in the @var{static_string_EXPRESSION}
section of the executable (assuming the linker doesn't rename the section).

The compiler normally places library-level objects in standard sections
depending on their type: procedures and functions generally go in the
@code{.text} section, initialized variables in the @code{.data} section
and uninitialized variables in the @code{.bss} section.

Other, special sections may exist on given target machines to map special
hardware, for example I/O ports or flash memory. This pragma is a means to
defer the final layout of the executable to the linker, thus fully working
at the symbolic level with the compiler.

Some file formats do not support arbitrary sections so not all target
machines support this pragma. The use of this pragma may cause a program
execution to be erroneous if it is used to place an entity into an
inappropriate section (e.g.@: a modified variable into the @code{.text}
section). See also @code{pragma Persistent_BSS}.

@smallexample @c ada
--  Example of the use of pragma Linker_Section

package IO_Card is

@end smallexample

@noindent
Machine-dependent attributes can be specified for types and/or
declarations.  This pragma is semantically equivalent to
@code{__attribute__((@var{attribute_name}))} (if @var{info} is not
specified) or @code{__attribute__((@var{attribute_name}(@var{info})))}
in GNU C, where @code{@var{attribute_name}} is recognized by the
compiler middle-end or the @code{TARGET_ATTRIBUTE_TABLE} machine
specific macro.  A string literal for the optional parameter @var{info}
is transformed into an identifier, which may make this pragma unusable
for some attributes.  @xref{Target Attributes,, Defining target-specific

@noindent
Syntax:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma No_Body;
@end smallexample

@noindent
There are a number of cases in which a package spec does not require a body,
and in fact a body is not permitted. GNAT will not permit the spec to be
compiled if there is a body around. The pragma No_Body allows you to provide
a body file, even in a case where no body is allowed. The body file must
contain only comments and a single No_Body pragma. This is recognized by
the compiler as indicating that no body is logically present.

This is particularly useful during maintenance when a package is modified in
such a way that a body needed before is no longer needed. The provision of a
dummy body with a No_Body pragma ensures that there is no interference from
earlier versions of the package body.

@node Pragma No_Return

@findex No_Return
@noindent
Syntax:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma No_Return (procedure_LOCAL_NAME @{, procedure_LOCAL_NAME@});
@end smallexample

@noindent
Each @var{procedure_LOCAL_NAME} argument must refer to one or more procedure
declarations in the current declarative part.  A procedure to which this
pragma is applied may not contain any explicit @code{return} statements.
In addition, if the procedure contains any implicit returns from falling
off the end of a statement sequence, then execution of that implicit
return will cause Program_Error to be raised.

One use of this pragma is to identify procedures whose only purpose is to raise
an exception. Another use of this pragma is to suppress incorrect warnings
about missing returns in functions, where the last statement of a function
statement sequence is a call to such a procedure.

Note that in Ada 2005 mode, this pragma is part of the language, and is
identical in effect to the pragma as implemented in Ada 95 mode.

@var{type_LOCAL_NAME} must refer to an access type

strict aliasing optimization for the given type.  The form with no
arguments is a configuration pragma which applies to all access types
declared in units to which the pragma applies. For a detailed

@noindent
Syntax:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma Normalize_Scalars;
@end smallexample

@noindent
This is a language defined pragma which is fully implemented in GNAT@.  The
effect is to cause all scalar objects that are not otherwise initialized
to be initialized.  The initial values are implementation dependent and
are as follows:

@table @code
@item Standard.Character
@noindent
Objects whose root type is Standard.Character are initialized to
Character'Last unless the subtype range excludes NUL (in which case
NUL is used). This choice will always generate an invalid value if
one exists.

@item Standard.Wide_Character
@noindent
Objects whose root type is Standard.Wide_Character are initialized to
Wide_Character'Last unless the subtype range excludes NUL (in which case
NUL is used). This choice will always generate an invalid value if
one exists.

@item Standard.Wide_Wide_Character
@noindent
Objects whose root type is Standard.Wide_Wide_Character are initialized to
the invalid value 16#FFFF_FFFF# unless the subtype range excludes NUL (in
which case NUL is used). This choice will always generate an invalid value if
one exists.

@item Integer types
@noindent
Objects of an integer type are treated differently depending on whether
negative values are present in the subtype. If no negative values are
present, then all one bits is used as the initial value except in the
special case where zero is excluded from the subtype, in which case
all zero bits are used. This choice will always generate an invalid
value if one exists.

For subtypes with negative values present, the largest negative number
is used, except in the unusual case where this largest negative number
is in the subtype, and the largest positive number is not, in which case
the largest positive value is used. This choice will always generate
an invalid value if one exists.

@item Floating-Point Types
Objects of all floating-point types are initialized to all 1-bits. For
standard IEEE format, this corresponds to a NaN (not a number) which is
indeed an invalid value.

@item Fixed-Point Types
Objects of all fixed-point types are treated as described above for integers,
with the rules applying to the underlying integer value used to represent
the fixed-point value.

@item Modular types
Objects of a modular type are initialized to all one bits, except in
the special case where zero is excluded from the subtype, in which
case all zero bits are used. This choice will always generate an
invalid value if one exists.

@item Enumeration types
Objects of an enumeration type are initialized to all one-bits, i.e.@: to
the value @code{2 ** typ'Size - 1} unless the subtype excludes the literal
whose Pos value is zero, in which case a code of zero is used. This choice
will always generate an invalid value if one exists.

@node Pragma Obsolescent
@unnumberedsec Pragma Obsolescent

Syntax:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma Obsolescent;

[,[Version =>] Ada_05]]);

pragma Obsolescent (
  [Entity  =>] NAME
[,[Message =>] static_string_EXPRESSION
[,[Version =>] Ada_05]] );
@end smallexample

@noindent
This pragma can occur immediately following a declaration of an entity,
including the case of a record component. If no Entity argument is present,
then this declaration is the one to which the pragma applies. If an Entity
parameter is present, it must either match the name of the entity in this
declaration, or alternatively, the pragma can immediately follow an enumeration
type declaration, where the Entity argument names one of the enumeration
literals.

This pragma is used to indicate that the named entity
is considered obsolescent and should not be used. Typically this is
used when an API must be modified by eventually removing or modifying
existing subprograms or other entities. The pragma can be used at an
intermediate stage when the entity is still present, but will be
removed later.

The effect of this pragma is to output a warning message on a reference to
an entity thus marked that the subprogram is obsolescent if the appropriate
warning option in the compiler is activated. If the Message parameter is
present, then a second warning message is given containing this text. In
addition, a reference to the eneity is considered to be a violation of pragma
Restrictions (No_Obsolescent_Features).

This pragma can also be used as a program unit pragma for a package,
in which case the entity name is the name of the package, and the
pragma indicates that the entire package is considered
obsolescent. In this case a client @code{with}'ing such a package
violates the restriction, and the @code{with} statement is
flagged with warnings if the warning option is set.

If the Version parameter is present (which must be exactly
the identifier Ada_05, no other argument is allowed), then the
indication of obsolescence applies only when compiling in Ada 2005
mode. This is primarily intended for dealing with the situations
in the predefined library where subprograms or packages
have become defined as obsolescent in Ada 2005
(e.g.@: in Ada.Characters.Handling), but may be used anywhere.

The following examples show typical uses of this pragma:

@smallexample @c ada
package p is
   pragma Obsolescent (p, Message => "use pp instead of p");
end p;

package q is
   procedure q2;
   pragma Obsolescent ("use q2new instead");

   type R is new integer;
   pragma Obsolescent
     (Entity  => R,
      Message => "use RR in Ada 2005",
      Version => Ada_05);

   type M is record
      F1 : Integer;
      F2 : Integer;
      pragma Obsolescent;
      F3 : Integer;
   end record;

   type E is (a, bc, 'd', quack);
   pragma Obsolescent (Entity => bc)
   pragma Obsolescent (Entity => 'd')

   function "+"
     (a, b : character) return character;
   pragma Obsolescent (Entity => "+");
end;
@end smallexample

@noindent
Note that, as for all pragmas, if you use a pragma argument identifier,
then all subsequent parameters must also use a pragma argument identifier.
So if you specify "Entity =>" for the Entity argument, and a Message
argument is present, it must be preceded by "Message =>".

@node Pragma Optimize_Alignment

@findex Optimize_Alignment
@cindex Alignment, default settings
@noindent
Syntax:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma Optimize_Alignment (TIME | SPACE | OFF);
@end smallexample

@noindent
This is a configuration pragma which affects the choice of default alignments
for types where no alignment is explicitly specified. There is a time/space
trade-off in the selection of these values. Large alignments result in more
efficient code, at the expense of larger data space, since sizes have to be
increased to match these alignments. Smaller alignments save space, but the
access code is slower. The normal choice of default alignments (which is what
you get if you do not use this pragma, or if you use an argument of OFF),
tries to balance these two requirements.

Specifying SPACE causes smaller default alignments to be chosen in two cases.
First any packed record is given an alignment of 1. Second, if a size is given
for the type, then the alignment is chosen to avoid increasing this size. For
example, consider:

@smallexample @c ada
   type R is record
      X : Integer;
      Y : Character;
   end record;

   for R'Size use 5*8;
@end smallexample

@noindent
In the default mode, this type gets an alignment of 4, so that access to the
Integer field X are efficient. But this means that objects of the type end up
with a size of 8 bytes. This is a valid choice, since sizes of objects are
allowed to be bigger than the size of the type, but it can waste space if for
example fields of type R appear in an enclosing record. If the above type is
compiled in @code{Optimize_Alignment (Space)} mode, the alignment is set to 1.

Specifying TIME causes larger default alignments to be chosen in the case of
small types with sizes that are not a power of 2. For example, consider:

@smallexample @c ada
   type R is record
      A : Character;
      B : Character;
      C : Boolean;
   end record;

   pragma Pack (R);
   for R'Size use 17;
@end smallexample

@noindent
The default alignment for this record is normally 1, but if this type is
compiled in @code{Optimize_Alignment (Time)} mode, then the alignment is set
to 4, which wastes space for objects of the type, since they are now 4 bytes
long, but results in more efficient access when the whole record is referenced.

As noted above, this is a configuration pragma, and there is a requirement
that all units in a partition be compiled with a consistent setting of the
optimization setting. This would normally be achieved by use of a configuration
pragma file containing the appropriate setting. The exception to this rule is
that units with an explicit configuration pragma in the same file as the source
unit are excluded from the consistency check, as are all predefined units. The
latter are compiled by default in pragma Optimize_Alignment (Off) mode if no
pragma appears at the start of the file.

@node Pragma Passive

@noindent
Syntax:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma Passive [(Semaphore | No)];
@end smallexample

@noindent
Syntax checked, but otherwise ignored by GNAT@.  This is recognized for
compatibility with DEC Ada 83 implementations, where it is used within a
task definition to request that a task be made passive.  If the argument
@code{Semaphore} is present, or the argument is omitted, then DEC Ada 83
treats the pragma as an assertion that the containing task is passive
and that optimization of context switch with this task is permitted and
desired.  If the argument @code{No} is present, the task must not be
optimized.  GNAT does not attempt to optimize any tasks in this manner
(since protected objects are available in place of passive tasks).

@node Pragma Persistent_BSS
@unnumberedsec Pragma Persistent_BSS
@findex Persistent_BSS
@noindent
Syntax:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma Persistent_BSS [(LOCAL_NAME)]
@end smallexample

@noindent
This pragma allows selected objects to be placed in the @code{.persistent_bss}
section. On some targets the linker and loader provide for special
treatment of this section, allowing a program to be reloaded without
affecting the contents of this data (hence the name persistent).

There are two forms of usage. If an argument is given, it must be the
local name of a library level object, with no explicit initialization
and whose type is potentially persistent. If no argument is given, then
the pragma is a configuration pragma, and applies to all library level
objects with no explicit initialization of potentially persistent types.

A potentially persistent type is a scalar type, or a non-tagged,
non-discriminated record, all of whose components have no explicit
initialization and are themselves of a potentially persistent type,
or an array, all of whose constraints are static, and whose component
type is potentially persistent.

If this pragma is used on a target where this feature is not supported,
then the pragma will be ignored. See also @code{pragma Linker_Section}.

@node Pragma Polling
@unnumberedsec Pragma Polling
@findex Polling
@noindent
Syntax:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma Polling (ON | OFF);
@end smallexample

@noindent
This pragma controls the generation of polling code.  This is normally off.
If @code{pragma Polling (ON)} is used then periodic calls are generated to
the routine @code{Ada.Exceptions.Poll}.  This routine is a separate unit in the
runtime library, and can be found in file @file{a-excpol.adb}.

Pragma @code{Polling} can appear as a configuration pragma (for example it
can be placed in the @file{gnat.adc} file) to enable polling globally, or it
can be used in the statement or declaration sequence to control polling
more locally.

A call to the polling routine is generated at the start of every loop and
at the start of every subprogram call.  This guarantees that the @code{Poll}
routine is called frequently, and places an upper bound (determined by
the complexity of the code) on the period between two @code{Poll} calls.

The primary purpose of the polling interface is to enable asynchronous
aborts on targets that cannot otherwise support it (for example Windows
NT), but it may be used for any other purpose requiring periodic polling.
The standard version is null, and can be replaced by a user program.  This
will require re-compilation of the @code{Ada.Exceptions} package that can
be found in files @file{a-except.ads} and @file{a-except.adb}.

A standard alternative unit (in file @file{4wexcpol.adb} in the standard GNAT
distribution) is used to enable the asynchronous abort capability on
targets that do not normally support the capability.  The version of
@code{Poll} in this file makes a call to the appropriate runtime routine
to test for an abort condition.

Note that polling can also be enabled by use of the @option{-gnatP} switch.

@node Pragma Postcondition
@unnumberedsec Pragma Postcondition
@cindex Postconditions
@cindex Checks, postconditions
@findex Postconditions
@noindent
Syntax:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma Postcondition (
   [Check   =>] Boolean_Expression
 [,[Message =>] String_Expression]);
@end smallexample

@noindent
The @code{Postcondition} pragma allows specification of automatic
postcondition checks for subprograms. These checks are similar to
assertions, but are automatically inserted just prior to the return
statements of the subprogram with which they are associated (including
implicit returns at the end of procedure bodies and associated
exception handlers).

In addition, the boolean expression which is the condition which
must be true may contain references to function'Result in the case
of a function to refer to the returned value.

@code{Postcondition} pragmas may appear either immediate following the
(separate) declaration of a subprogram, or at the start of the
declarations of a subprogram body. Only other pragmas may intervene
(that is appear between the subprogram declaration and its
postconditions, or appear before the postcondition in the
declaration sequence in a subprogram body). In the case of a
postcondition appearing after a subprogram declaration, the
formal arguments of the subprogram are visible, and can be
referenced in the postcondition expressions.

The postconditions are collected and automatically tested just
before any return (implicit or explicit) in the subprogram body.
A postcondition is only recognized if postconditions are active
at the time the pragma is encountered. The compiler switch @option{gnata}
turns on all postconditions by default, and pragma @code{Check_Policy}
with an identifier of @code{Postcondition} can also be used to
control whether postconditions are active.

The general approach is that postconditions are placed in the spec
if they represent functional aspects which make sense to the client.
For example we might have:

@smallexample @c ada
   function Direction return Integer;
   pragma Postcondition
    (Direction'Result = +1
       or else
     Direction'Result = -1);
@end smallexample

@noindent
which serves to document that the result must be +1 or -1, and
will test that this is the case at run time if postcondition
checking is active.

Postconditions within the subprogram body can be used to
check that some internal aspect of the implementation,
not visible to the client, is operating as expected.
For instance if a square root routine keeps an internal
counter of the number of times it is called, then we
might have the following postcondition:

@smallexample @c ada
   Sqrt_Calls : Natural := 0;

   function Sqrt (Arg : Float) return Float is
     pragma Postcondition
       (Sqrt_Calls = Sqrt_Calls'Old + 1);
     ...
   end Sqrt
@end smallexample

@noindent
As this example, shows, the use of the @code{Old} attribute
is often useful in postconditions to refer to the state on
entry to the subprogram.

Note that postconditions are only checked on normal returns
from the subprogram. If an abnormal return results from
raising an exception, then the postconditions are not checked.

If a postcondition fails, then the exception
@code{System.Assertions.Assert_Failure} is raised. If
a message argument was supplied, then the given string
will be used as the exception message. If no message
argument was supplied, then the default message has
the form "Postcondition failed at file:line". The
exception is raised in the context of the subprogram
body, so it is possible to catch postcondition failures
within the subprogram body itself.

Within a package spec, normal visibility rules
in Ada would prevent forward references within a
postcondition pragma to functions defined later in
the same package. This would introduce undesirable
ordering constraints. To avoid this problem, all
postcondition pragmas are analyzed at the end of
the package spec, allowing forward references.

The following example shows that this even allows
mutually recursive postconditions as in:

@smallexample @c ada
package Parity_Functions is
   function Odd  (X : Natural) return Boolean;
   pragma Postcondition
     (Odd'Result =
        (x = 1
          or else
        (x /= 0 and then Even (X - 1))));

   function Even (X : Natural) return Boolean;
   pragma Postcondition
     (Even'Result =
        (x = 0
          or else
        (x /= 1 and then Odd (X - 1))));

end Parity_Functions;
@end smallexample

@noindent
There are no restrictions on the complexity or form of
conditions used within @code{Postcondition} pragmas.
The following example shows that it is even possible
to verify performance behavior.

@smallexample @c ada
package Sort is

   Performance : constant Float;
   --  Performance constant set by implementation
   --  to match target architecture behavior.

   procedure Treesort (Arg : String);
   --  Sorts characters of argument using N*logN sort
   pragma Postcondition
     (Float (Clock - Clock'Old) <=
        Float (Arg'Length) *
        log (Float (Arg'Length)) *
        Performance);
end Sort;
@end smallexample

@noindent
Note: postcondition pragmas associated with subprograms that are
marked as Inline_Always, or those marked as Inline with front-end
inlining (-gnatN option set) are accepted and legality-checked
by the compiler, but are ignored at run-time even if postcondition
checking is enabled.

@node Pragma Precondition
@unnumberedsec Pragma Precondition
@cindex Preconditions
@cindex Checks, preconditions
@findex Preconditions
@noindent
Syntax:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma Precondition (
   [Check   =>] Boolean_Expression
 [,[Message =>] String_Expression]);
@end smallexample

@noindent
The @code{Precondition} pragma is similar to @code{Postcondition}
except that the corresponding checks take place immediately upon
entry to the subprogram, and if a precondition fails, the exception
is raised in the context of the caller, and the attribute 'Result
cannot be used within the precondition expression.

Otherwise, the placement and visibility rules are identical to those
described for postconditions. The following is an example of use
within a package spec:

@smallexample @c ada
package Math_Functions is
   ...
   function Sqrt (Arg : Float) return Float;
   pragma Precondition (Arg >= 0.0)
   ...
end Math_Functions;
@end smallexample

@noindent
@code{Precondition} pragmas may appear either immediate following the
(separate) declaration of a subprogram, or at the start of the
declarations of a subprogram body. Only other pragmas may intervene
(that is appear between the subprogram declaration and its
postconditions, or appear before the postcondition in the
declaration sequence in a subprogram body).

Note: postcondition pragmas associated with subprograms that are
marked as Inline_Always, or those marked as Inline with front-end
inlining (-gnatN option set) are accepted and legality-checked
by the compiler, but are ignored at run-time even if postcondition
checking is enabled.

plus the following set of restrictions:

@table @code
@item Max_Entry_Queue_Length = 1
Defines the maximum number of calls that are queued on a (protected) entry.
Note that this restrictions is checked at run time. Violation of this
restriction results in the raising of Program_Error exception at the point of
the call. For the Profile (Ravenscar) the value of Max_Entry_Queue_Length is
always 1 and hence no task can be queued on a protected entry.

@item Max_Protected_Entries = 1
[RM D.7] Specifies the maximum number of entries per protected type. The
bounds of every entry family of a protected unit shall be static, or shall be
defined by a discriminant of a subtype whose corresponding bound is static.
For the Profile (Ravenscar) the value of Max_Protected_Entries is always 1.

@item Max_Task_Entries = 0
[RM D.7] Specifies the maximum number of entries
per task.  The bounds of every entry family
of a task unit shall be static, or shall be

corresponding bound is static.  A value of zero
indicates that no rendezvous are possible.  For
the Profile (Ravenscar), the value of Max_Task_Entries is always
0 (zero).

@item No_Abort_Statements

@end table

@noindent
This set of configuration pragmas and restrictions correspond to the
definition of the ``Ravenscar Profile'' for limited tasking, devised and
published by the @cite{International Real-Time Ada Workshop}, 1997,
and whose most recent description is available at
@url{http://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/~burns/ravenscar.ps}.

The original definition of the profile was revised at subsequent IRTAW
meetings. It has been included in the ISO
@cite{Guide for the Use of the Ada Programming Language in High
Integrity Systems}, and has been approved by ISO/IEC/SC22/WG9 for inclusion in
the next revision of the standard. The formal definition given by
the Ada Rapporteur Group (ARG) can be found in two Ada Issues (AI-249 and
AI-305) available at
@url{http://www.ada-auth.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/AIs/AI-00249.TXT} and
@url{http://www.ada-auth.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/AIs/AI-00305.TXT}
respectively.

The above set is a superset of the restrictions provided by pragma
@code{Profile (Restricted)}, it includes six additional restrictions
(@code{Simple_Barriers}, @code{No_Select_Statements},
@code{No_Calendar}, @code{No_Implicit_Heap_Allocations},
@code{No_Relative_Delay} and @code{No_Task_Termination}).  This means
that pragma @code{Profile (Ravenscar)}, like the pragma
@code{Profile (Restricted)},
automatically causes the use of a simplified,
more efficient version of the tasking run-time system.

@node Pragma Pure_Function
@unnumberedsec Pragma Pure_Function
@findex Pure_Function
@noindent
Syntax:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma Pure_Function ([Entity =>] function_LOCAL_NAME);
@end smallexample

@noindent
This pragma appears in the same declarative part as a function
declaration (or a set of function declarations if more than one
overloaded declaration exists, in which case the pragma applies
to all entities).  It specifies that the function @code{Entity} is
to be considered pure for the purposes of code generation.  This means
that the compiler can assume that there are no side effects, and
in particular that two calls with identical arguments produce the
same result.  It also means that the function can be used in an
address clause.

Note that, quite deliberately, there are no static checks to try
to ensure that this promise is met, so @code{Pure_Function} can be used
with functions that are conceptually pure, even if they do modify
global variables.  For example, a square root function that is
instrumented to count the number of times it is called is still
conceptually pure, and can still be optimized, even though it
modifies a global variable (the count).  Memo functions are another
example (where a table of previous calls is kept and consulted to
avoid re-computation).

@findex Pure
Note: Most functions in a @code{Pure} package are automatically pure, and
there is no need to use pragma @code{Pure_Function} for such functions.  One
exception is any function that has at least one formal of type
@code{System.Address} or a type derived from it.  Such functions are not
considered pure by default, since the compiler assumes that the
@code{Address} parameter may be functioning as a pointer and that the
referenced data may change even if the address value does not.
Similarly, imported functions are not considered to be pure by default,
since there is no way of checking that they are in fact pure.  The use
of pragma @code{Pure_Function} for such a function will override these default
assumption, and cause the compiler to treat a designated subprogram as pure
in these cases.

Note: If pragma @code{Pure_Function} is applied to a renamed function, it
applies to the underlying renamed function.  This can be used to
disambiguate cases of overloading where some but not all functions
in a set of overloaded functions are to be designated as pure.

If pragma @code{Pure_Function} is applied to a library level function, the
function is also considered pure from an optimization point of view, but the
unit is not a Pure unit in the categorization sense. So for example, a function
thus marked is free to @code{with} non-pure units.

@node Pragma Restriction_Warnings
@unnumberedsec Pragma Restriction_Warnings
@findex Restriction_Warnings
@noindent
Syntax:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma Restriction_Warnings

@end smallexample

@noindent
This pragma allows a series of restriction identifiers to be
specified (the list of allowed identifiers is the same as for
pragma @code{Restrictions}). For each of these identifiers
the compiler checks for violations of the restriction, but
generates a warning message rather than an error message
if the restriction is violated.

@node Pragma Short_Circuit_And_Or

@noindent
This configuration pragma causes any occurrence of the AND operator applied to
operands of type Standard.Boolean to be short-circuited (i.e. the AND operator
is treated as if it were AND THEN). Or is similarly treated as OR ELSE. This
may be useful in the context of certification protocols requiring the use of
short-circuited logical operators. If this configuration pragma occurs locally
within the file being compiled, it applies only to the file being compiled.
There is no requirement that all units in a partition use this option.

semantics are identical to pragma Atomic.
@node Pragma Source_File_Name
@unnumberedsec Pragma Source_File_Name

Syntax:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma Source_File_Name (

  Spec_File_Name =>  STRING_LITERAL,
  [Index => INTEGER_LITERAL]);

pragma Source_File_Name (
  [Unit_Name   =>] unit_NAME,
  Body_File_Name =>  STRING_LITERAL,
  [Index => INTEGER_LITERAL]);
@end smallexample

@noindent
Use this to override the normal naming convention.  It is a configuration
pragma, and so has the usual applicability of configuration pragmas
(i.e.@: it applies to either an entire partition, or to all units in a
compilation, or to a single unit, depending on how it is used.
@var{unit_name} is mapped to @var{file_name_literal}.  The identifier for
the second argument is required, and indicates whether this is the file
name for the spec or for the body.

The optional Index argument should be used when a file contains multiple
units, and when you do not want to use @code{gnatchop} to separate then
into multiple files (which is the recommended procedure to limit the
number of recompilations that are needed when some sources change).
For instance, if the source file @file{source.ada} contains

@smallexample @c ada
package B is
...
end B;

with B;
procedure A is
begin
   ..
end A;
@end smallexample

you could use the following configuration pragmas:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma Source_File_Name
  (B, Spec_File_Name => "source.ada", Index => 1);
pragma Source_File_Name
  (A, Body_File_Name => "source.ada", Index => 2);
@end smallexample

Note that the @code{gnatname} utility can also be used to generate those
configuration pragmas.

Another form of the @code{Source_File_Name} pragma allows
the specification of patterns defining alternative file naming schemes
to apply to all files.

@smallexample @c ada
pragma Source_File_Name
  (  [Spec_File_Name  =>] STRING_LITERAL
   [,[Casing          =>] CASING_SPEC]
   [,[Dot_Replacement =>] STRING_LITERAL]);

pragma Source_File_Name
  (  [Body_File_Name  =>] STRING_LITERAL
   [,[Casing          =>] CASING_SPEC]
   [,[Dot_Replacement =>] STRING_LITERAL]);

pragma Source_File_Name
  (  [Subunit_File_Name =>] STRING_LITERAL
   [,[Casing            =>] CASING_SPEC]
   [,[Dot_Replacement   =>] STRING_LITERAL]);

CASING_SPEC ::= Lowercase | Uppercase | Mixedcase
@end smallexample

@noindent
The first argument is a pattern that contains a single asterisk indicating
the point at which the unit name is to be inserted in the pattern string
to form the file name.  The second argument is optional.  If present it
specifies the casing of the unit name in the resulting file name string.
The default is lower case.  Finally the third argument allows for systematic
replacement of any dots in the unit name by the specified string literal.

A pragma Source_File_Name cannot appear after a
@ref{Pragma Source_File_Name_Project}.

@node Pragma Source_File_Name_Project

@noindent

This pragma has the same syntax and semantics as pragma Source_File_Name.
It is only allowed as a stand alone configuration pragma.
It cannot appear after a @ref{Pragma Source_File_Name}, and
most importantly, once pragma Source_File_Name_Project appears,
no further Source_File_Name pragmas are allowed.

The intention is that Source_File_Name_Project pragmas are always
generated by the Project Manager in a manner consistent with the naming
specified in a project file, and when naming is controlled in this manner,
it is not permissible to attempt to modify this naming scheme using
Source_File_Name pragmas (which would not be known to the project manager).

@node Pragma Source_Reference

Syntax:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma Source_Reference (INTEGER_LITERAL, STRING_LITERAL);
@end smallexample

@noindent
This pragma must appear as the first line of a source file.
@var{integer_literal} is the logical line number of the line following
the pragma line (for use in error messages and debugging
information).  @var{string_literal} is a static string constant that
specifies the file name to be used in error messages and debugging
information.  This is most notably used for the output of @code{gnatchop}
with the @option{-r} switch, to make sure that the original unchopped
source file is the one referred to.

The second argument must be a string literal, it cannot be a static
string expression other than a string literal.  This is because its value
is needed for error messages issued by all phases of the compiler.

@noindent
This pragma provides an efficient way of providing stream functions for
types defined in packages.  Not only is it simpler to use than declaring
the necessary functions with attribute representation clauses, but more
significantly, it allows the declaration to made in such a way that the
stream packages are not loaded unless they are needed.  The use of
the Stream_Convert pragma adds no overhead at all, unless the stream
attributes are actually used on the designated type.

The first argument specifies the type for which stream functions are
provided.  The second parameter provides a function used to read values
of this type.  It must name a function whose argument type may be any
subtype, and whose returned type must be the type given as the first
argument to the pragma.

The meaning of the @var{Read}
parameter is that if a stream attribute directly
or indirectly specifies reading of the type given as the first parameter,
then a value of the type given as the argument to the Read function is
read from the stream, and then the Read function is used to convert this
to the required target type.

Similarly the @var{Write} parameter specifies how to treat write attributes
that directly or indirectly apply to the type given as the first parameter.
It must have an input parameter of the type specified by the first parameter,
and the return type must be the same as the input type of the Read function.
The effect is to first call the Write function to convert to the given stream
type, and then write the result type to the stream.

The Read and Write functions must not be overloaded subprograms.  If necessary
renamings can be supplied to meet this requirement.
The usage of this attribute is best illustrated by a simple example, taken
from the GNAT implementation of package Ada.Strings.Unbounded:

@smallexample @c ada
function To_Unbounded (S : String)
           return Unbounded_String
  renames To_Unbounded_String;

pragma Stream_Convert
  (Unbounded_String, To_Unbounded, To_String);
@end smallexample

@noindent
The specifications of the referenced functions, as given in the Ada
Reference Manual are:

@smallexample @c ada
function To_Unbounded_String (Source : String)
  return Unbounded_String;

function To_String (Source : Unbounded_String)
  return String;
@end smallexample

@noindent
The effect is that if the value of an unbounded string is written to a stream,
then the representation of the item in the stream is in the same format that
would be used for @code{Standard.String'Output}, and this same representation
is expected when a value of this type is read from the stream. Note that the
value written always includes the bounds, even for Unbounded_String'Write,
since Unbounded_String is not an array type.

@node Pragma Style_Checks
@unnumberedsec Pragma Style_Checks
@findex Style_Checks
@noindent
Syntax:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma Style_Checks (string_LITERAL | ALL_CHECKS |
                     On | Off [, LOCAL_NAME]);
@end smallexample

@noindent
This pragma is used in conjunction with compiler switches to control the
built in style checking provided by GNAT@.  The compiler switches, if set,
provide an initial setting for the switches, and this pragma may be used
to modify these settings, or the settings may be provided entirely by
the use of the pragma.  This pragma can be used anywhere that a pragma
is legal, including use as a configuration pragma (including use in
the @file{gnat.adc} file).

The form with a string literal specifies which style options are to be
activated.  These are additive, so they apply in addition to any previously
set style check options.  The codes for the options are the same as those
used in the @option{-gnaty} switch to @command{gcc} or @command{gnatmake}.
For example the following two methods can be used to enable
layout checking:

@itemize @bullet
@item
@smallexample @c ada
pragma Style_Checks ("l");
@end smallexample

@item
@smallexample
gcc -c -gnatyl @dots{}
@end smallexample
@end itemize

@noindent
The form ALL_CHECKS activates all standard checks (its use is equivalent
to the use of the @code{gnaty} switch with no options.  @xref{Top,
@value{EDITION} User's Guide, About This Guide, gnat_ugn,
@value{EDITION} User's Guide}, for details.

The forms with @code{Off} and @code{On}
can be used to temporarily disable style checks
as shown in the following example:

@smallexample @c ada
@iftex
@leftskip=0cm
@end iftex
pragma Style_Checks ("k"); -- requires keywords in lower case
pragma Style_Checks (Off); -- turn off style checks
NULL;                      -- this will not generate an error message
pragma Style_Checks (On);  -- turn style checks back on
NULL;                      -- this will generate an error message
@end smallexample

@noindent
Finally the two argument form is allowed only if the first argument is
@code{On} or @code{Off}.  The effect is to turn of semantic style checks
for the specified entity, as shown in the following example:

@smallexample @c ada
@iftex
@leftskip=0cm
@end iftex
pragma Style_Checks ("r"); -- require consistency of identifier casing
Arg : Integer;
Rf1 : Integer := ARG;      -- incorrect, wrong case
pragma Style_Checks (Off, Arg);
Rf2 : Integer := ARG;      -- OK, no error

This pragma is recognized for compatibility with other Ada compilers

@node Pragma Suppress
@unnumberedsec Pragma Suppress
@findex Suppress
@noindent
Syntax:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma Suppress (Identifier [, [On =>] Name]);
@end smallexample

@noindent
This is a standard pragma, and supports all the check names required in
the RM. It is included here because GNAT recognizes one additional check
name: @code{Alignment_Check} which can be used to suppress alignment checks
on addresses used in address clauses. Such checks can also be suppressed
by suppressing range checks, but the specific use of @code{Alignment_Check}
allows suppression of alignment checks without suppressing other range checks.

Note that pragma Suppress gives the compiler permission to omit
checks, but does not require the compiler to omit checks. The compiler
will generate checks if they are essentially free, even when they are
suppressed. In particular, if the compiler can prove that a certain
check will necessarily fail, it will generate code to do an
unconditional ``raise'', even if checks are suppressed. The compiler
warns in this case.

Of course, run-time checks are omitted whenever the compiler can prove
that they will not fail, whether or not checks are suppressed.

@node Pragma Suppress_All
@unnumberedsec Pragma Suppress_All

@noindent
Syntax:

@smallexample @c ada

@noindent
This pragma can only appear immediately following a compilation
unit.  The effect is to apply @code{Suppress (All_Checks)} to the unit
which it follows.  This pragma is implemented for compatibility with DEC
Ada 83 usage.  The use of pragma @code{Suppress (All_Checks)} as a normal
configuration pragma is the preferred usage in GNAT@.

@node Pragma Suppress_Exception_Locations
@unnumberedsec Pragma Suppress_Exception_Locations
@findex Suppress_Exception_Locations
@noindent
Syntax:

pragma Suppress_Exception_Locations;
@end smallexample

@noindent
In normal mode, a raise statement for an exception by default generates
an exception message giving the file name and line number for the location
of the raise. This is useful for debugging and logging purposes, but this
entails extra space for the strings for the messages. The configuration
pragma @code{Suppress_Exception_Locations} can be used to suppress the
generation of these strings, with the result that space is saved, but the
exception message for such raises is null. This configuration pragma may
appear in a global configuration pragma file, or in a specific unit as
usual. It is not required that this pragma be used consistently within
a partition, so it is fine to have some units within a partition compiled
with this pragma and others compiled in normal mode without it.

This pragma appears within a task definition (like pragma

argument must be of type @code{System.Task_Info.Task_Info_Type}.
The @code{Task_Info} pragma provides system dependent control over
aspects of tasking implementation, for example, the ability to map
tasks to specific processors.  For details on the facilities available
for the version of GNAT that you are using, see the documentation
in the spec of package System.Task_Info in the runtime

@noindent
This pragma appears within a task definition (like pragma
@code{Priority}) and applies to the task in which it appears.  The
argument must be of type String, and provides a name to be used for
the task instance when the task is created.  Note that this expression
is not required to be static, and in particular, it can contain
references to task discriminants.  This facility can be used to
provide different names for different tasks as they are created,
as illustrated in the example below.

The task name is recorded internally in the run-time structures
and is accessible to tools like the debugger.  In addition the
routine @code{Ada.Task_Identification.Image} will return this
string, with a unique task address appended.

@smallexample @c ada

@noindent
This pragma specifies the length of the guard area for tasks.  The guard
area is an additional storage area allocated to a task.  A value of zero
means that either no guard area is created or a minimal guard area is
created, depending on the target.  This pragma can appear anywhere a
@code{Storage_Size} attribute definition clause is allowed for a task

@cindex TLS (Thread Local Storage)
Syntax:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma Thread_Local_Storage ([Entity =>] LOCAL_NAME);
@end smallexample

@noindent
This pragma specifies that the specified entity, which must be
a variable declared in a library level package, is to be marked as
"Thread Local Storage" (@code{TLS}). On systems supporting this (which
include Solaris, GNU/Linux and VxWorks 6), this causes each thread
(and hence each Ada task) to see a distinct copy of the variable.

The variable may not have default initialization, and if there is
an explicit initialization, it must be either @code{null} for an
access variable, or a static expression for a scalar variable.
This provides a low level mechanism similar to that provided by
the @code{Ada.Task_Attributes} package, but much more efficient
and is also useful in writing interface code that will interact
with foreign threads.

If this pragma is used on a system where @code{TLS} is not supported,
then an error message will be generated and the program will be rejected.

For implementations of GNAT on operating systems where it is possible

It is ignored if it is used in a system that does not allow this control,
or if it appears in other than the main program unit.

@noindent
Syntax checked but otherwise ignored by GNAT@.  This is a listing control
pragma used in DEC Ada 83 implementations to provide a title and/or
subtitle for the program listing.  The program listing generated by GNAT
does not have titles or subtitles.

Unlike other pragmas, the full flexibility of named notation is allowed
for this pragma, i.e.@: the parameters may be given in any order if named
notation is used, and named and positional notation can be mixed

@noindent
This pragma is used to specify a representation of a record type that is
equivalent to a C union. It was introduced as a GNAT implementation defined
pragma in the GNAT Ada 95 mode. Ada 2005 includes an extended version of this
pragma, making it language defined, and GNAT fully implements this extended
version in all language modes (Ada 83, Ada 95, and Ada 2005). For full
details, consult the Ada 2005 Reference Manual, section B.3.3.

@node Pragma Unimplemented_Unit

@noindent
If this pragma occurs in a unit that is processed by the compiler, GNAT
aborts with the message @samp{@var{xxx} not implemented}, where
@var{xxx} is the name of the current compilation unit.  This pragma is
intended to allow the compiler to handle unimplemented library units in
a clean manner.

The abort only happens if code is being generated.  Thus you can use
specs of unimplemented packages in syntax or semantic checking mode.

@var{type_LOCAL_NAME} must refer to a type declaration in the current
declarative part.  The effect is to inhibit strict type-based aliasing
optimization for the given type.  In other words, the effect is as though
access types designating this type were subject to pragma No_Strict_Aliasing.

situations in which it must be suppressed, @xref{Optimization and Strict

Syntax:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma Universal_Data [(library_unit_Name)];

@noindent
This pragma is supported only for the AAMP target and is ignored for
other targets. The pragma specifies that all library-level objects
(Counter 0 data) associated with the library unit are to be accessed
and updated using universal addressing (24-bit addresses for AAMP5)
rather than the default of 16-bit Data Environment (DENV) addressing.
Use of this pragma will generally result in less efficient code for
references to global data associated with the library unit, but
allows such data to be located anywhere in memory. This pragma is
a library unit pragma, but can also be used as a configuration pragma
(including use in the @file{gnat.adc} file). The functionality
of this pragma is also available by applying the -univ switch on the
compilations of units where universal addressing of the data is desired.

@node Pragma Unmodified

@findex Unmodified
@cindex Warnings, unmodified
@noindent
Syntax:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma Unmodified (LOCAL_NAME @{, LOCAL_NAME@});
@end smallexample

@noindent
This pragma signals that the assignable entities (variables,
@code{out} parameters, @code{in out} parameters) whose names are listed are
deliberately not assigned in the current source unit. This
suppresses warnings about the
entities being referenced but not assigned, and in addition a warning will be
generated if one of these entities is in fact assigned in the
same unit as the pragma (or in the corresponding body, or one
of its subunits).

This is particularly useful for clearly signaling that a particular
parameter is not modified, even though the spec suggests that it might
be.

@node Pragma Unreferenced
@unnumberedsec Pragma Unreferenced
@findex Unreferenced
@cindex Warnings, unreferenced
@noindent
Syntax:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma Unreferenced (LOCAL_NAME @{, LOCAL_NAME@});
pragma Unreferenced (library_unit_NAME @{, library_unit_NAME@});
@end smallexample

@noindent
This pragma signals that the entities whose names are listed are
deliberately not referenced in the current source unit. This
suppresses warnings about the
entities being unreferenced, and in addition a warning will be
generated if one of these entities is in fact referenced in the
same unit as the pragma (or in the corresponding body, or one
of its subunits).

This is particularly useful for clearly signaling that a particular
parameter is not referenced in some particular subprogram implementation
and that this is deliberate. It can also be useful in the case of
objects declared only for their initialization or finalization side
effects.

If @code{LOCAL_NAME} identifies more than one matching homonym in the
current scope, then the entity most recently declared is the one to which
the pragma applies. Note that in the case of accept formals, the pragma
Unreferenced may appear immediately after the keyword @code{do} which
allows the indication of whether or not accept formals are referenced
or not to be given individually for each accept statement.

The left hand side of an assignment does not count as a reference for the
purpose of this pragma. Thus it is fine to assign to an entity for which
pragma Unreferenced is given.

Note that if a warning is desired for all calls to a given subprogram,
regardless of whether they occur in the same unit as the subprogram
declaration, then this pragma should not be used (calls from another
unit would not be flagged); pragma Obsolescent can be used instead
for this purpose, see @xref{Pragma Obsolescent}.

The second form of pragma @code{Unreferenced} is used within a context
clause. In this case the arguments must be unit names of units previously
mentioned in @code{with} clauses (similar to the usage of pragma
@code{Elaborate_All}. The effect is to suppress warnings about unreferenced
units and unreferenced entities within these units.

@node Pragma Unreferenced_Objects

@noindent
Syntax:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma Unreferenced_Objects (local_subtype_NAME @{, local_subtype_NAME@});
@end smallexample

@noindent
This pragma signals that for the types or subtypes whose names are
listed, objects which are declared with one of these types or subtypes may
not be referenced, and if no references appear, no warnings are given.

This is particularly useful for objects which are declared solely for their
initialization and finalization effect. Such variables are sometimes referred
to as RAII variables (Resource Acquisition Is Initialization). Using this
pragma on the relevant type (most typically a limited controlled type), the
compiler will automatically suppress unwanted warnings about these variables
not being referenced.

@node Pragma Unreserve_All_Interrupts
@unnumberedsec Pragma Unreserve_All_Interrupts
@findex Unreserve_All_Interrupts
@noindent
Syntax:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma Unreserve_All_Interrupts;
@end smallexample

@noindent
Normally certain interrupts are reserved to the implementation.  Any attempt
to attach an interrupt causes Program_Error to be raised, as described in
RM C.3.2(22).  A typical example is the @code{SIGINT} interrupt used in
many systems for a @kbd{Ctrl-C} interrupt.  Normally this interrupt is
reserved to the implementation, so that @kbd{Ctrl-C} can be used to
interrupt execution.

If the pragma @code{Unreserve_All_Interrupts} appears anywhere in any unit in
a program, then all such interrupts are unreserved.  This allows the
program to handle these interrupts, but disables their standard
functions.  For example, if this pragma is used, then pressing
@kbd{Ctrl-C} will not automatically interrupt execution.  However,
a program can then handle the @code{SIGINT} interrupt as it chooses.

For a full list of the interrupts handled in a specific implementation,
see the source code for the spec of @code{Ada.Interrupts.Names} in
file @file{a-intnam.ads}.  This is a target dependent file that contains the
list of interrupts recognized for a given target.  The documentation in
this file also specifies what interrupts are affected by the use of
the @code{Unreserve_All_Interrupts} pragma.

For a more general facility for controlling what interrupts can be
handled, see pragma @code{Interrupt_State}, which subsumes the functionality
of the @code{Unreserve_All_Interrupts} pragma.

This pragma undoes the effect of a previous pragma @code{Suppress}.  If
there is no corresponding pragma @code{Suppress} in effect, it has no
effect.  The range of the effect is the same as for pragma
@code{Suppress}.  The meaning of the arguments is identical to that used
in pragma @code{Suppress}.

One important application is to ensure that checks are on in cases where
code depends on the checks for its correct functioning, so that the code
will compile correctly even if the compiler switches are set to suppress
checks.

@noindent
This is a configuration pragma.  In a unit to which it applies, any use
of the 'Size attribute is automatically interpreted as a use of the
'VADS_Size attribute.  Note that this may result in incorrect semantic
processing of valid Ada 95 or Ada 2005 programs.  This is intended to aid in
the handling of existing code which depends on the interpretation of Size
as implemented in the VADS compiler.  See description of the VADS_Size

@node Pragma Validity_Checks

@findex Validity_Checks
@noindent
Syntax:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma Validity_Checks (string_LITERAL | ALL_CHECKS | On | Off);
@end smallexample

@noindent
This pragma is used in conjunction with compiler switches to control the
built-in validity checking provided by GNAT@.  The compiler switches, if set
provide an initial setting for the switches, and this pragma may be used
to modify these settings, or the settings may be provided entirely by
the use of the pragma.  This pragma can be used anywhere that a pragma
is legal, including use as a configuration pragma (including use in
the @file{gnat.adc} file).

The form with a string literal specifies which validity options are to be
activated.  The validity checks are first set to include only the default
reference manual settings, and then a string of letters in the string
specifies the exact set of options required.  The form of this string
is exactly as described for the @option{-gnatVx} compiler switch (see the
GNAT users guide for details).  For example the following two methods
can be used to enable validity checking for mode @code{in} and
@code{in out} subprogram parameters:

@itemize @bullet
@item
@smallexample @c ada
pragma Validity_Checks ("im");
@end smallexample

@item
@smallexample
gcc -c -gnatVim @dots{}
@end smallexample
@end itemize

@noindent
The form ALL_CHECKS activates all standard checks (its use is equivalent
to the use of the @code{gnatva} switch.

The forms with @code{Off} and @code{On}
can be used to temporarily disable validity checks
as shown in the following example:

@smallexample @c ada
@iftex
@leftskip=0cm
@end iftex
pragma Validity_Checks ("c"); -- validity checks for copies
pragma Validity_Checks (Off); -- turn off validity checks
A := B;                       -- B will not be validity checked
pragma Validity_Checks (On);  -- turn validity checks back on
A := C;                       -- C will be validity checked
@end smallexample

@node Pragma Volatile

Syntax:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma Volatile (LOCAL_NAME);
@end smallexample

@noindent
This pragma is defined by the Ada Reference Manual, and the GNAT
implementation is fully conformant with this definition.  The reason it
is mentioned in this section is that a pragma of the same name was supplied
in some Ada 83 compilers, including DEC Ada 83.  The Ada 95 / Ada 2005
implementation of pragma Volatile is upwards compatible with the
implementation in DEC Ada 83.

@node Pragma Warnings

pragma Warnings (On | Off);
pragma Warnings (On | Off, LOCAL_NAME);
pragma Warnings (static_string_EXPRESSION);
pragma Warnings (On | Off, static_string_EXPRESSION);
@end smallexample

@noindent
Normally warnings are enabled, with the output being controlled by
the command line switch.  Warnings (@code{Off}) turns off generation of
warnings until a Warnings (@code{On}) is encountered or the end of the
current unit.  If generation of warnings is turned off using this
pragma, then no warning messages are output, regardless of the
setting of the command line switches.

The form with a single argument may be used as a configuration pragma.

If the @var{LOCAL_NAME} parameter is present, warnings are suppressed for
the specified entity.  This suppression is effective from the point where
it occurs till the end of the extended scope of the variable (similar to
the scope of @code{Suppress}).

The form with a single static_string_EXPRESSION argument provides more precise
control over which warnings are active. The string is a list of letters
specifying which warnings are to be activated and which deactivated. The
code for these letters is the same as the string used in the command
line switch controlling warnings. For a brief summary, use the gnatmake
command with no arguments, which will generate usage information containing
the list of warnings switches supported. For
full details see @ref{Warning Message Control,,, gnat_ugn, @value{EDITION}
User's Guide}.

@noindent
The specified warnings will be in effect until the end of the program
or another pragma Warnings is encountered. The effect of the pragma is
cumulative. Initially the set of warnings is the standard default set
as possibly modified by compiler switches. Then each pragma Warning
modifies this set of warnings as specified. This form of the pragma may
also be used as a configuration pragma.

The fourth form, with an On|Off parameter and a string, is used to
control individual messages, based on their text. The string argument
is a pattern that is used to match against the text of individual
warning messages (not including the initial "warning: " tag).

The pattern may contain asterisks, which match zero or more characters in
the message. For example, you can use
@code{pragma Warnings (Off, "*bits of*unused")} to suppress the warning
message @code{warning: 960 bits of "a" unused}. No other regular
expression notations are permitted. All characters other than asterisk in
these three specific cases are treated as literal characters in the match.

There are two ways to use this pragma. The OFF form can be used as a
configuration pragma. The effect is to suppress all warnings (if any)
that match the pattern string throughout the compilation.

The second usage is to suppress a warning locally, and in this case, two
pragmas must appear in sequence:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma Warnings (Off, Pattern);
@dots{} code where given warning is to be suppressed
pragma Warnings (On, Pattern);
@end smallexample

@noindent
In this usage, the pattern string must match in the Off and On pragmas,
and at least one matching warning must be suppressed.

Note: the debug flag -gnatd.i (@code{/NOWARNINGS_PRAGMAS} in VMS) can be
used to cause the compiler to entirely ignore all WARNINGS pragmas. This can
be useful in checking whether obsolete pragmas in existing programs are hiding
real problems.

Note: pragma Warnings does not affect the processing of style messages. See
separate entry for pragma Style_Checks for control of style messages.

@node Pragma Weak_External
@unnumberedsec Pragma Weak_External
@findex Weak_External
@noindent
Syntax:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma Weak_External ([Entity =>] LOCAL_NAME);
@end smallexample

@noindent
@var{LOCAL_NAME} must refer to an object that is declared at the library
level. This pragma specifies that the given entity should be marked as a
weak symbol for the linker. It is equivalent to @code{__attribute__((weak))}
in GNU C and causes @var{LOCAL_NAME} to be emitted as a weak symbol instead
of a regular symbol, that is to say a symbol that does not have to be
resolved by the linker if used in conjunction with a pragma Import.

When a weak symbol is not resolved by the linker, its address is set to
zero. This is useful in writing interfaces to external modules that may
or may not be linked in the final executable, for example depending on
configuration settings.

If a program references at run time an entity to which this pragma has been
applied, and the corresponding symbol was not resolved at link time, then
the execution of the program is erroneous. It is not erroneous to take the
Address of such an entity, for example to guard potential references,
as shown in the example below.

Some file formats do not support weak symbols so not all target machines
support this pragma.

@smallexample @c ada
--  Example of the use of pragma Weak_External

package External_Module is
  key : Integer;
  pragma Import (C, key);
  pragma Weak_External (key);
  function Present return boolean;
end External_Module;

with System; use System;
package body External_Module is
  function Present return boolean is
  begin
    return key'Address /= System.Null_Address;
  end Present;
end External_Module;
@end smallexample

@node Pragma Wide_Character_Encoding
@unnumberedsec Pragma Wide_Character_Encoding
@findex Wide_Character_Encoding
@noindent
Syntax:

@smallexample @c ada
pragma Wide_Character_Encoding (IDENTIFIER | CHARACTER_LITERAL);
@end smallexample

@noindent
This pragma specifies the wide character encoding to be used in program
source text appearing subsequently. It is a configuration pragma, but may
also be used at any point that a pragma is allowed, and it is permissible
to have more than one such pragma in a file, allowing multiple encodings
to appear within the same file.

The argument can be an identifier or a character literal. In the identifier
case, it is one of @code{HEX}, @code{UPPER}, @code{SHIFT_JIS},
@code{EUC}, @code{UTF8}, or @code{BRACKETS}. In the character literal
case it is correspondingly one of the characters @samp{h}, @samp{u},
@samp{s}, @samp{e}, @samp{8}, or @samp{b}.

Note that when the pragma is used within a file, it affects only the
encoding within that file, and does not affect withed units, specs,
or subunits.

@node Implementation Defined Attributes
@chapter Implementation Defined Attributes
Ada defines (throughout the Ada reference manual,
summarized in Annex K),
a set of attributes that provide useful additional functionality in all
areas of the language.  These language defined attributes are implemented
in GNAT and work as described in the Ada Reference Manual.

In addition, Ada allows implementations to define additional
attributes whose meaning is defined by the implementation.  GNAT provides
a number of these implementation-dependent attributes which can be used
to extend and enhance the functionality of the compiler.  This section of
the GNAT reference manual describes these additional attributes.

Note that any program using these attributes may not be portable to
other compilers (although GNAT implements this set of attributes on all
platforms).  Therefore if portability to other compilers is an important
consideration, you should minimize the use of these attributes.

@node Abort_Signal
@unnumberedsec Abort_Signal
@findex Abort_Signal
@noindent
@code{Standard'Abort_Signal} (@code{Standard} is the only allowed
prefix) provides the entity for the special exception used to signal
task abort or asynchronous transfer of control.  Normally this attribute
should only be used in the tasking runtime (it is highly peculiar, and
completely outside the normal semantics of Ada, for a user program to
intercept the abort exception).

@node Address_Size
@unnumberedsec Address_Size
@cindex Size of @code{Address}
@findex Address_Size
@noindent
@code{Standard'Address_Size} (@code{Standard} is the only allowed
prefix) is a static constant giving the number of bits in an
@code{Address}. It is the same value as System.Address'Size,
but has the advantage of being static, while a direct
reference to System.Address'Size is non-static because Address
is a private type.

@node Asm_Input
@unnumberedsec Asm_Input
@findex Asm_Input
@noindent
The @code{Asm_Input} attribute denotes a function that takes two
parameters.  The first is a string, the second is an expression of the
type designated by the prefix.  The first (string) argument is required
to be a static expression, and is the constraint for the parameter,
(e.g.@: what kind of register is required).  The second argument is the
value to be used as the input argument.  The possible values for the
constant are the same as those used in the RTL, and are dependent on
the configuration file used to built the GCC back end.
@ref{Machine Code Insertions}

@node Asm_Output
@unnumberedsec Asm_Output
@findex Asm_Output
@noindent
The @code{Asm_Output} attribute denotes a function that takes two
parameters.  The first is a string, the second is the name of a variable
of the type designated by the attribute prefix.  The first (string)
argument is required to be a static expression and designates the
constraint for the parameter (e.g.@: what kind of register is
required).  The second argument is the variable to be updated with the
result.  The possible values for constraint are the same as those used in
the RTL, and are dependent on the configuration file used to build the
GCC back end.  If there are no output operands, then this argument may
either be omitted, or explicitly given as @code{No_Output_Operands}.
@ref{Machine Code Insertions}

@node AST_Entry
@unnumberedsec AST_Entry
@cindex OpenVMS
@findex AST_Entry
@noindent
This attribute is implemented only in OpenVMS versions of GNAT@.  Applied to
the name of an entry, it yields a value of the predefined type AST_Handler
(declared in the predefined package System, as extended by the use of
pragma @code{Extend_System (Aux_DEC)}).  This value enables the given entry to
be called when an AST occurs.  For further details, refer to the @cite{DEC Ada
Language Reference Manual}, section 9.12a.

@node Bit
@unnumberedsec Bit
@findex Bit
@code{@var{obj}'Bit}, where @var{obj} is any object, yields the bit
offset within the storage unit (byte) that contains the first bit of
storage allocated for the object.  The value of this attribute is of the
type @code{Universal_Integer}, and is always a non-negative number not
exceeding the value of @code{System.Storage_Unit}.

For an object that is a variable or a constant allocated in a register,
the value is zero.  (The use of this attribute does not force the
allocation of a variable to memory).

For an object that is a formal parameter, this attribute applies
to either the matching actual parameter or to a copy of the
matching actual parameter.

For an access object the value is zero.  Note that
@code{@var{obj}.all'Bit} is subject to an @code{Access_Check} for the
designated object.  Similarly for a record component
@code{@var{X}.@var{C}'Bit} is subject to a discriminant check and
@code{@var{X}(@var{I}).Bit} and @code{@var{X}(@var{I1}..@var{I2})'Bit}
are subject to index checks.

This attribute is designed to be compatible with the DEC Ada 83 definition
and implementation of the @code{Bit} attribute.

@node Bit_Position
@unnumberedsec Bit_Position
@findex Bit_Position
@noindent
@code{@var{R.C}'Bit}, where @var{R} is a record object and C is one
of the fields of the record type, yields the bit
offset within the record contains the first bit of
storage allocated for the object.  The value of this attribute is of the
type @code{Universal_Integer}.  The value depends only on the field
@var{C} and is independent of the alignment of
the containing record @var{R}.

@node Compiler_Version
@unnumberedsec Compiler_Version
@findex Compiler_Version
@noindent
@code{Standard'Compiler_Version} (@code{Standard} is the only allowed
prefix) yields a static string identifying the version of the compiler
being used to compile the unit containing the attribute reference. A
typical result would be something like "GNAT Pro 6.3.0w (20090221)".

@node Code_Address
@unnumberedsec Code_Address
@findex Code_Address
@cindex Subprogram address
@cindex Address of subprogram code
@noindent
The @code{'Address}
attribute may be applied to subprograms in Ada 95 and Ada 2005, but the
intended effect seems to be to provide
an address value which can be used to call the subprogram by means of
an address clause as in the following example:

@smallexample @c ada
procedure K is @dots{}

procedure L;
for L'Address use K'Address;
pragma Import (Ada, L);
@end smallexample

@noindent
A call to @code{L} is then expected to result in a call to @code{K}@.
In Ada 83, where there were no access-to-subprogram values, this was
a common work-around for getting the effect of an indirect call.
GNAT implements the above use of @code{Address} and the technique
illustrated by the example code works correctly.

However, for some purposes, it is useful to have the address of the start
of the generated code for the subprogram.  On some architectures, this is
not necessarily the same as the @code{Address} value described above.
For example, the @code{Address} value may reference a subprogram
descriptor rather than the subprogram itself.

The @code{'Code_Address} attribute, which can only be applied to
subprogram entities, always returns the address of the start of the
generated code of the specified subprogram, which may or may not be
the same value as is returned by the corresponding @code{'Address}
attribute.

@node Default_Bit_Order
@unnumberedsec Default_Bit_Order
@cindex Big endian
@cindex Little endian
@findex Default_Bit_Order
@noindent
@code{Standard'Default_Bit_Order} (@code{Standard} is the only
permissible prefix), provides the value @code{System.Default_Bit_Order}
as a @code{Pos} value (0 for @code{High_Order_First}, 1 for
@code{Low_Order_First}).  This is used to construct the definition of
@code{Default_Bit_Order} in package @code{System}.

@node Elaborated
@unnumberedsec Elaborated
@findex Elaborated
@noindent
The prefix of the @code{'Elaborated} attribute must be a unit name.  The
value is a Boolean which indicates whether or not the given unit has been
elaborated.  This attribute is primarily intended for internal use by the
generated code for dynamic elaboration checking, but it can also be used
in user programs.  The value will always be True once elaboration of all
units has been completed.  An exception is for units which need no
elaboration, the value is always False for such units.

@node Elab_Body
@unnumberedsec Elab_Body
@findex Elab_Body
@noindent
This attribute can only be applied to a program unit name.  It returns
the entity for the corresponding elaboration procedure for elaborating
the body of the referenced unit.  This is used in the main generated
elaboration procedure by the binder and is not normally used in any
other context.  However, there may be specialized situations in which it
is useful to be able to call this elaboration procedure from Ada code,
e.g.@: if it is necessary to do selective re-elaboration to fix some
error.

@node Elab_Spec
@unnumberedsec Elab_Spec
@findex Elab_Spec
@noindent
This attribute can only be applied to a program unit name.  It returns
the entity for the corresponding elaboration procedure for elaborating
the spec of the referenced unit.  This is used in the main
generated elaboration procedure by the binder and is not normally used
in any other context.  However, there may be specialized situations in
which it is useful to be able to call this elaboration procedure from
Ada code, e.g.@: if it is necessary to do selective re-elaboration to fix
some error.

@node Emax
@unnumberedsec Emax
@cindex Ada 83 attributes
@findex Emax
@noindent
The @code{Emax} attribute is provided for compatibility with Ada 83.  See
the Ada 83 reference manual for an exact description of the semantics of
this attribute.

@node Enabled
@unnumberedsec Enabled
@findex Enabled
@noindent
The @code{Enabled} attribute allows an application program to check at compile
time to see if the designated check is currently enabled. The prefix is a
simple identifier, referencing any predefined check name (other than
@code{All_Checks}) or a check name introduced by pragma Check_Name. If
no argument is given for the attribute, the check is for the general state
of the check, if an argument is given, then it is an entity name, and the
check indicates whether an @code{Suppress} or @code{Unsuppress} has been
given naming the entity (if not, then the argument is ignored).

Note that instantiations inherit the check status at the point of the
instantiation, so a useful idiom is to have a library package that
introduces a check name with @code{pragma Check_Name}, and then contains
generic packages or subprograms which use the @code{Enabled} attribute
to see if the check is enabled. A user of this package can then issue
a @code{pragma Suppress} or @code{pragma Unsuppress} before instantiating
the package or subprogram, controlling whether the check will be present.

@node Enum_Rep
@unnumberedsec Enum_Rep
@cindex Representation of enums
@findex Enum_Rep
@noindent
For every enumeration subtype @var{S}, @code{@var{S}'Enum_Rep} denotes a
function with the following spec:

@smallexample @c ada
function @var{S}'Enum_Rep (Arg : @var{S}'Base)
  return @i{Universal_Integer};
@end smallexample

@noindent
It is also allowable to apply @code{Enum_Rep} directly to an object of an
enumeration type or to a non-overloaded enumeration
literal.  In this case @code{@var{S}'Enum_Rep} is equivalent to
@code{@var{typ}'Enum_Rep(@var{S})} where @var{typ} is the type of the
enumeration literal or object.

The function returns the representation value for the given enumeration
value.  This will be equal to value of the @code{Pos} attribute in the
absence of an enumeration representation clause.  This is a static
attribute (i.e.@: the result is static if the argument is static).

@code{@var{S}'Enum_Rep} can also be used with integer types and objects,
in which case it simply returns the integer value.  The reason for this
is to allow it to be used for @code{(<>)} discrete formal arguments in
a generic unit that can be instantiated with either enumeration types
or integer types.  Note that if @code{Enum_Rep} is used on a modular
type whose upper bound exceeds the upper bound of the largest signed
integer type, and the argument is a variable, so that the universal
integer calculation is done at run time, then the call to @code{Enum_Rep}
may raise @code{Constraint_Error}.

@node Enum_Val
@unnumberedsec Enum_Val
@cindex Representation of enums
@findex Enum_Val
@noindent
For every enumeration subtype @var{S}, @code{@var{S}'Enum_Rep} denotes a
function with the following spec:

@smallexample @c ada
function @var{S}'Enum_Rep (Arg : @i{Universal_Integer)
  return @var{S}'Base};
@end smallexample

@noindent
The function returns the enumeration value whose representation matches the
argument, or raises Constraint_Error if no enumeration literal of the type
has the matching value.
This will be equal to value of the @code{Val} attribute in the
absence of an enumeration representation clause.  This is a static
attribute (i.e.@: the result is static if the argument is static).

@node Epsilon
@unnumberedsec Epsilon
@cindex Ada 83 attributes
@findex Epsilon
@noindent
The @code{Epsilon} attribute is provided for compatibility with Ada 83.  See
the Ada 83 reference manual for an exact description of the semantics of
this attribute.

@node Fixed_Value
@unnumberedsec Fixed_Value
@findex Fixed_Value
@noindent
For every fixed-point type @var{S}, @code{@var{S}'Fixed_Value} denotes a
function with the following specification:

@smallexample @c ada
function @var{S}'Fixed_Value (Arg : @i{Universal_Integer})
  return @var{S};
@end smallexample

@noindent
The value returned is the fixed-point value @var{V} such that

@smallexample @c ada
@var{V} = Arg * @var{S}'Small
@end smallexample

@noindent
The effect is thus similar to first converting the argument to the
integer type used to represent @var{S}, and then doing an unchecked
conversion to the fixed-point type.  The difference is
that there are full range checks, to ensure that the result is in range.
This attribute is primarily intended for use in implementation of the
input-output functions for fixed-point values.

@node Has_Access_Values
@unnumberedsec Has_Access_Values
@cindex Access values, testing for
@findex Has_Access_Values
@noindent
The prefix of the @code{Has_Access_Values} attribute is a type.  The result
is a Boolean value which is True if the is an access type, or is a composite
type with a component (at any nesting depth) that is an access type, and is
False otherwise.
The intended use of this attribute is in conjunction with generic
definitions.  If the attribute is applied to a generic private type, it
indicates whether or not the corresponding actual type has access values.

@node Has_Discriminants
@unnumberedsec Has_Discriminants
@cindex Discriminants, testing for
@findex Has_Discriminants
@noindent
The prefix of the @code{Has_Discriminants} attribute is a type.  The result
is a Boolean value which is True if the type has discriminants, and False
otherwise.  The intended use of this attribute is in conjunction with generic
definitions.  If the attribute is applied to a generic private type, it
indicates whether or not the corresponding actual type has discriminants.

@node Img
@unnumberedsec Img
@findex Img
@noindent
The @code{Img} attribute differs from @code{Image} in that it may be
applied to objects as well as types, in which case it gives the
@code{Image} for the subtype of the object.  This is convenient for
debugging:

@smallexample @c ada
Put_Line ("X = " & X'Img);
@end smallexample

@noindent
has the same meaning as the more verbose:

@smallexample @c ada
Put_Line ("X = " & @var{T}'Image (X));
@end smallexample

@noindent
where @var{T} is the (sub)type of the object @code{X}.

@node Integer_Value
@unnumberedsec Integer_Value
@findex Integer_Value
@noindent
For every integer type @var{S}, @code{@var{S}'Integer_Value} denotes a
function with the following spec:

@smallexample @c ada
function @var{S}'Integer_Value (Arg : @i{Universal_Fixed})
  return @var{S};
@end smallexample

@noindent
The value returned is the integer value @var{V}, such that

@smallexample @c ada
Arg = @var{V} * @var{T}'Small
@end smallexample

@noindent
where @var{T} is the type of @code{Arg}.
The effect is thus similar to first doing an unchecked conversion from
the fixed-point type to its corresponding implementation type, and then
converting the result to the target integer type.  The difference is
that there are full range checks, to ensure that the result is in range.
This attribute is primarily intended for use in implementation of the
standard input-output functions for fixed-point values.

@node Invalid_Value
@unnumberedsec Invalid_Value
@findex Invalid_Value
@noindent
For every scalar type S, S'Invalid_Value returns an undefined value of the
type. If possible this value is an invalid representation for the type. The
value returned is identical to the value used to initialize an otherwise
uninitialized value of the type if pragma Initialize_Scalars is used,
including the ability to modify the value with the binder -Sxx flag and
relevant environment variables at run time.

@node Large
@unnumberedsec Large
@cindex Ada 83 attributes
@findex Large
@noindent
The @code{Large} attribute is provided for compatibility with Ada 83.  See
the Ada 83 reference manual for an exact description of the semantics of
this attribute.

@node Machine_Size
@unnumberedsec Machine_Size
@findex Machine_Size
@noindent
This attribute is identical to the @code{Object_Size} attribute.  It is
provided for compatibility with the DEC Ada 83 attribute of this name.

@node Mantissa
@unnumberedsec Mantissa
@cindex Ada 83 attributes
@findex Mantissa
@noindent
The @code{Mantissa} attribute is provided for compatibility with Ada 83.  See
the Ada 83 reference manual for an exact description of the semantics of
this attribute.

@node Max_Interrupt_Priority
@unnumberedsec Max_Interrupt_Priority
@cindex Interrupt priority, maximum
@findex Max_Interrupt_Priority
@noindent
@code{Standard'Max_Interrupt_Priority} (@code{Standard} is the only
permissible prefix), provides the same value as
@code{System.Max_Interrupt_Priority}.

@node Max_Priority
@unnumberedsec Max_Priority
@cindex Priority, maximum
@findex Max_Priority
@noindent
@code{Standard'Max_Priority} (@code{Standard} is the only permissible
prefix) provides the same value as @code{System.Max_Priority}.

@node Maximum_Alignment
@unnumberedsec Maximum_Alignment
@cindex Alignment, maximum
@findex Maximum_Alignment
@noindent
@code{Standard'Maximum_Alignment} (@code{Standard} is the only
permissible prefix) provides the maximum useful alignment value for the
target.  This is a static value that can be used to specify the alignment
for an object, guaranteeing that it is properly aligned in all
cases.

@node Mechanism_Code
@unnumberedsec Mechanism_Code
@cindex Return values, passing mechanism
@cindex Parameters, passing mechanism
@findex Mechanism_Code
@noindent
@code{@var{function}'Mechanism_Code} yields an integer code for the
mechanism used for the result of function, and
@code{@var{subprogram}'Mechanism_Code (@var{n})} yields the mechanism
used for formal parameter number @var{n} (a static integer value with 1
meaning the first parameter) of @var{subprogram}.  The code returned is:

@table @asis
@item 1
by copy (value)
@item 2

@item 3
by descriptor (default descriptor class)
@item 4

@item 8
by descriptor (SB: string with arbitrary bounds)
@item 9
by descriptor (A: contiguous array)
@item 10
by descriptor (NCA: non-contiguous array)
@end table

@noindent
Values from 3 through 10 are only relevant to Digital OpenVMS implementations.
@cindex OpenVMS

@node Null_Parameter
@unnumberedsec Null_Parameter
@cindex Zero address, passing
@findex Null_Parameter
@noindent
A reference @code{@var{T}'Null_Parameter} denotes an imaginary object of
type or subtype @var{T} allocated at machine address zero.  The attribute
is allowed only as the default expression of a formal parameter, or as
an actual expression of a subprogram call.  In either case, the
subprogram must be imported.

The identity of the object is represented by the address zero in the
argument list, independent of the passing mechanism (explicit or
default).

This capability is needed to specify that a zero address should be
passed for a record or other composite object passed by reference.
There is no way of indicating this without the @code{Null_Parameter}
attribute.

@node Object_Size
@unnumberedsec Object_Size
@cindex Size, used for objects
@findex Object_Size
@noindent
The size of an object is not necessarily the same as the size of the type
of an object.  This is because by default object sizes are increased to be
a multiple of the alignment of the object.  For example,
@code{Natural'Size} is
31, but by default objects of type @code{Natural} will have a size of 32 bits.
Similarly, a record containing an integer and a character:

@smallexample @c ada
type Rec is record
   I : Integer;
   C : Character;
end record;
@end smallexample

@noindent
will have a size of 40 (that is @code{Rec'Size} will be 40).  The
alignment will be 4, because of the
integer field, and so the default size of record objects for this type
will be 64 (8 bytes).

@node Old
@unnumberedsec Old
@cindex Capturing Old values
@cindex Postconditions
@noindent
The attribute Prefix'Old can be used within a
subprogram to refer to the value of the prefix on entry. So for
example if you have an argument of a record type X called Arg1,
you can refer to Arg1.Field'Old which yields the value of
Arg1.Field on entry. The implementation simply involves generating
an object declaration which captures the value on entry. Any
prefix is allowed except one of a limited type (since limited
types cannot be copied to capture their values) or a local variable
(since it does not exist at subprogram entry time).

The following example shows the use of 'Old to implement
a test of a postcondition:

@smallexample @c ada
with Old_Pkg;
procedure Old is
begin
   Old_Pkg.Incr;
end Old;

package Old_Pkg is
   procedure Incr;
end Old_Pkg;

package body Old_Pkg is
   Count : Natural := 0;

   procedure Incr is
   begin
      ... code manipulating the value of Count

      pragma Assert (Count = Count'Old + 1);
   end Incr;
end Old_Pkg;
@end smallexample

@noindent
Note that it is allowed to apply 'Old to a constant entity, but this will
result in a warning, since the old and new values will always be the same.

@node Passed_By_Reference
@unnumberedsec Passed_By_Reference
@cindex Parameters, when passed by reference
@findex Passed_By_Reference
@noindent
@code{@var{type}'Passed_By_Reference} for any subtype @var{type} returns
a value of type @code{Boolean} value that is @code{True} if the type is
normally passed by reference and @code{False} if the type is normally
passed by copy in calls.  For scalar types, the result is always @code{False}
and is static.  For non-scalar types, the result is non-static.

@node Pool_Address
@unnumberedsec Pool_Address
@cindex Parameters, when passed by reference
@findex Pool_Address
@noindent
@code{@var{X}'Pool_Address} for any object @var{X} returns the address
of X within its storage pool. This is the same as
@code{@var{X}'Address}, except that for an unconstrained array whose
bounds are allocated just before the first component,
@code{@var{X}'Pool_Address} returns the address of those bounds,
whereas @code{@var{X}'Address} returns the address of the first
component.

Here, we are interpreting ``storage pool'' broadly to mean ``wherever
the object is allocated'', which could be a user-defined storage pool,
the global heap, on the stack, or in a static memory area. For an
object created by @code{new}, @code{@var{Ptr.all}'Pool_Address} is
what is passed to @code{Allocate} and returned from @code{Deallocate}.

@node Range_Length
@unnumberedsec Range_Length
@findex Range_Length
@noindent
@code{@var{type}'Range_Length} for any discrete type @var{type} yields
the number of values represented by the subtype (zero for a null
range).  The result is static for static subtypes.  @code{Range_Length}
applied to the index subtype of a one dimensional array always gives the
same result as @code{Range} applied to the array itself.

@node Result
@unnumberedsec Result
@findex Result
@noindent
@code{@var{function}'Result} can only be used with in a Postcondition pragma
for a function. The prefix must be the name of the corresponding function. This
is used to refer to the result of the function in the postcondition expression.
For a further discussion of the use of this attribute and examples of its use,
see the description of pragma Postcondition.

@node Safe_Emax
@unnumberedsec Safe_Emax
@cindex Ada 83 attributes
@findex Safe_Emax
@noindent
The @code{Safe_Emax} attribute is provided for compatibility with Ada 83.  See
the Ada 83 reference manual for an exact description of the semantics of
this attribute.

@node Safe_Large
@unnumberedsec Safe_Large
@cindex Ada 83 attributes
@findex Safe_Large
@noindent
The @code{Safe_Large} attribute is provided for compatibility with Ada 83.  See
the Ada 83 reference manual for an exact description of the semantics of
this attribute.

@node Small
@unnumberedsec Small
@cindex Ada 83 attributes
@findex Small
@noindent
The @code{Small} attribute is defined in Ada 95 (and Ada 2005) only for
fixed-point types.
GNAT also allows this attribute to be applied to floating-point types
for compatibility with Ada 83.  See
the Ada 83 reference manual for an exact description of the semantics of
this attribute when applied to floating-point types.

@node Storage_Unit
@unnumberedsec Storage_Unit
@findex Storage_Unit
@noindent
@code{Standard'Storage_Unit} (@code{Standard} is the only permissible
prefix) provides the same value as @code{System.Storage_Unit}.

@node Stub_Type
@unnumberedsec Stub_Type
@findex Stub_Type
@noindent
The GNAT implementation of remote access-to-classwide types is
organized as described in AARM section E.4 (20.t): a value of an RACW type
(designating a remote object) is represented as a normal access
value, pointing to a "stub" object which in turn contains the
necessary information to contact the designated remote object. A
call on any dispatching operation of such a stub object does the
remote call, if necessary, using the information in the stub object
to locate the target partition, etc.

For a prefix @code{T} that denotes a remote access-to-classwide type,
@code{T'Stub_Type} denotes the type of the corresponding stub objects.

By construction, the layout of @code{T'Stub_Type} is identical to that of
type @code{RACW_Stub_Type} declared in the internal implementation-defined
unit @code{System.Partition_Interface}. Use of this attribute will create
an implicit dependency on this unit.

@node Target_Name
@unnumberedsec Target_Name
@findex Target_Name
@noindent
@code{Standard'Target_Name} (@code{Standard} is the only permissible
prefix) provides a static string value that identifies the target
for the current compilation. For GCC implementations, this is the
standard gcc target name without the terminating slash (for
example, GNAT 5.0 on windows yields "i586-pc-mingw32msv").

@node Tick
@unnumberedsec Tick
@findex Tick
@noindent
@code{Standard'Tick} (@code{Standard} is the only permissible prefix)
provides the same value as @code{System.Tick},

@node To_Address
@unnumberedsec To_Address
@findex To_Address
@noindent
The @code{System'To_Address}
(@code{System} is the only permissible prefix)
denotes a function identical to
@code{System.Storage_Elements.To_Address} except that
it is a static attribute.  This means that if its argument is
a static expression, then the result of the attribute is a
static expression.  The result is that such an expression can be
used in contexts (e.g.@: preelaborable packages) which require a
static expression and where the function call could not be used
(since the function call is always non-static, even if its
argument is static).

@node Type_Class
@unnumberedsec Type_Class
@findex Type_Class
@noindent
@code{@var{type}'Type_Class} for any type or subtype @var{type} yields
the value of the type class for the full type of @var{type}.  If
@var{type} is a generic formal type, the value is the value for the
corresponding actual subtype.  The value of this attribute is of type
@code{System.Aux_DEC.Type_Class}, which has the following definition:

@smallexample @c ada
  type Type_Class is
    (Type_Class_Enumeration,
     Type_Class_Integer,
     Type_Class_Fixed_Point,
     Type_Class_Floating_Point,
     Type_Class_Array,
     Type_Class_Record,
     Type_Class_Access,
     Type_Class_Task,
     Type_Class_Address);
@end smallexample

@noindent
Protected types yield the value @code{Type_Class_Task}, which thus
applies to all concurrent types.  This attribute is designed to
be compatible with the DEC Ada 83 attribute of the same name.

@node UET_Address
@unnumberedsec UET_Address
@findex UET_Address
@noindent
The @code{UET_Address} attribute can only be used for a prefix which
denotes a library package.  It yields the address of the unit exception
table when zero cost exception handling is used.  This attribute is
intended only for use within the GNAT implementation.  See the unit
@code{Ada.Exceptions} in files @file{a-except.ads} and @file{a-except.adb}
for details on how this attribute is used in the implementation.

@node Unconstrained_Array
@unnumberedsec Unconstrained_Array
@findex Unconstrained_Array
@noindent
The @code{Unconstrained_Array} attribute can be used with a prefix that
denotes any type or subtype. It is a static attribute that yields
@code{True} if the prefix designates an unconstrained array,
and @code{False} otherwise. In a generic instance, the result is
still static, and yields the result of applying this test to the
generic actual.

@node Universal_Literal_String
@unnumberedsec Universal_Literal_String
@cindex Named numbers, representation of
@findex Universal_Literal_String
@noindent
The prefix of @code{Universal_Literal_String} must be a named
number.  The static result is the string consisting of the characters of
the number as defined in the original source.  This allows the user
program to access the actual text of named numbers without intermediate
conversions and without the need to enclose the strings in quotes (which
would preclude their use as numbers).  This is used internally for the
construction of values of the floating-point attributes from the file
@file{ttypef.ads}, but may also be used by user programs.

For example, the following program prints the first 50 digits of pi:

@smallexample @c ada
with Text_IO; use Text_IO;
with Ada.Numerics;
procedure Pi is
begin
   Put (Ada.Numerics.Pi'Universal_Literal_String);
end;
@end smallexample

@node Unrestricted_Access
@unnumberedsec Unrestricted_Access
@cindex @code{Access}, unrestricted
@findex Unrestricted_Access
@noindent
The @code{Unrestricted_Access} attribute is similar to @code{Access}
except that all accessibility and aliased view checks are omitted.  This
is a user-beware attribute.  It is similar to
@code{Address}, for which it is a desirable replacement where the value
desired is an access type.  In other words, its effect is identical to
first applying the @code{Address} attribute and then doing an unchecked
conversion to a desired access type.  In GNAT, but not necessarily in
other implementations, the use of static chains for inner level
subprograms means that @code{Unrestricted_Access} applied to a
subprogram yields a value that can be called as long as the subprogram
is in scope (normal Ada accessibility rules restrict this usage).

It is possible to use @code{Unrestricted_Access} for any type, but care
must be exercised if it is used to create pointers to unconstrained
objects. In this case, the resulting pointer has the same scope as the
context of the attribute, and may not be returned to some enclosing
scope. For instance, a function cannot use @code{Unrestricted_Access}
to create a unconstrained pointer and then return that value to the
caller.

@node VADS_Size
@unnumberedsec VADS_Size
@cindex @code{Size}, VADS compatibility
@findex VADS_Size
@noindent
The @code{'VADS_Size} attribute is intended to make it easier to port
legacy code which relies on the semantics of @code{'Size} as implemented
by the VADS Ada 83 compiler.  GNAT makes a best effort at duplicating the
same semantic interpretation.  In particular, @code{'VADS_Size} applied
to a predefined or other primitive type with no Size clause yields the
Object_Size (for example, @code{Natural'Size} is 32 rather than 31 on
typical machines).  In addition @code{'VADS_Size} applied to an object
gives the result that would be obtained by applying the attribute to
the corresponding type.

@node Value_Size
@unnumberedsec Value_Size
@cindex @code{Size}, setting for not-first subtype
@findex Value_Size
@code{@var{type}'Value_Size} is the number of bits required to represent
a value of the given subtype.  It is the same as @code{@var{type}'Size},
but, unlike @code{Size}, may be set for non-first subtypes.

@node Wchar_T_Size
@unnumberedsec Wchar_T_Size
@findex Wchar_T_Size
@code{Standard'Wchar_T_Size} (@code{Standard} is the only permissible
prefix) provides the size in bits of the C @code{wchar_t} type
primarily for constructing the definition of this type in
package @code{Interfaces.C}.

@node Word_Size
@unnumberedsec Word_Size
@findex Word_Size
@code{Standard'Word_Size} (@code{Standard} is the only permissible
prefix) provides the value @code{System.Word_Size}.

@c ------------------------
@node Implementation Advice
@chapter Implementation Advice
@noindent
The main text of the Ada Reference Manual describes the required
behavior of all Ada compilers, and the GNAT compiler conforms to
these requirements.

In addition, there are sections throughout the Ada Reference Manual headed
by the phrase ``Implementation advice''.  These sections are not normative,
i.e., they do not specify requirements that all compilers must
follow.  Rather they provide advice on generally desirable behavior.  You
may wonder why they are not requirements.  The most typical answer is
that they describe behavior that seems generally desirable, but cannot
be provided on all systems, or which may be undesirable on some systems.

As far as practical, GNAT follows the implementation advice sections in
the Ada Reference Manual.  This chapter contains a table giving the
reference manual section number, paragraph number and several keywords
for each advice.  Each entry consists of the text of the advice followed
by the GNAT interpretation of this advice.  Most often, this simply says
``followed'', which means that GNAT follows the advice.  However, in a
number of cases, GNAT deliberately deviates from this advice, in which
case the text describes what GNAT does and why.

@cindex Error detection
@unnumberedsec 1.1.3(20): Error Detection
@sp 1
@cartouche
If an implementation detects the use of an unsupported Specialized Needs
Annex feature at run time, it should raise @code{Program_Error} if
feasible.
@end cartouche
Not relevant.  All specialized needs annex features are either supported,
or diagnosed at compile time.

@cindex Child Units
@unnumberedsec 1.1.3(31): Child Units
@sp 1
@cartouche
If an implementation wishes to provide implementation-defined
extensions to the functionality of a language-defined library unit, it
should normally do so by adding children to the library unit.
@end cartouche
Followed.

@cindex Bounded errors
@unnumberedsec 1.1.5(12): Bounded Errors
@sp 1
@cartouche
If an implementation detects a bounded error or erroneous
execution, it should raise @code{Program_Error}.
@end cartouche
Followed in all cases in which the implementation detects a bounded
error or erroneous execution.  Not all such situations are detected at
runtime.

@cindex Pragmas
@unnumberedsec 2.8(16): Pragmas
@sp 1
@cartouche
Normally, implementation-defined pragmas should have no semantic effect
for error-free programs; that is, if the implementation-defined pragmas
are removed from a working program, the program should still be legal,
and should still have the same semantics.
@end cartouche
The following implementation defined pragmas are exceptions to this
rule:

@table @code
@item Abort_Defer
Affects semantics
@item Ada_83
Affects legality
@item Assert
Affects semantics
@item CPP_Class
Affects semantics
@item CPP_Constructor
Affects semantics
@item Debug

@item Interface_Name
Affects semantics
@item Machine_Attribute
Affects semantics
@item Unimplemented_Unit
Affects legality
@item Unchecked_Union
Affects semantics
@end table

@noindent
In each of the above cases, it is essential to the purpose of the pragma
that this advice not be followed.  For details see the separate section
on implementation defined pragmas.

@unnumberedsec 2.8(17-19): Pragmas
@sp 1
@cartouche
Normally, an implementation should not define pragmas that can
make an illegal program legal, except as follows:
@end cartouche
@sp 1
@cartouche
A pragma used to complete a declaration, such as a pragma @code{Import};
@end cartouche
@sp 1
@cartouche
A pragma used to configure the environment by adding, removing, or
replacing @code{library_items}.
@end cartouche
See response to paragraph 16 of this same section.

@cindex Character Sets
@cindex Alternative Character Sets
@unnumberedsec 3.5.2(5): Alternative Character Sets
@sp 1
@cartouche
If an implementation supports a mode with alternative interpretations
for @code{Character} and @code{Wide_Character}, the set of graphic
characters of @code{Character} should nevertheless remain a proper
subset of the set of graphic characters of @code{Wide_Character}.  Any
character set ``localizations'' should be reflected in the results of
the subprograms defined in the language-defined package
@code{Characters.Handling} (see A.3) available in such a mode.  In a mode with
an alternative interpretation of @code{Character}, the implementation should
also support a corresponding change in what is a legal
@code{identifier_letter}.
@end cartouche
Not all wide character modes follow this advice, in particular the JIS
and IEC modes reflect standard usage in Japan, and in these encoding,
the upper half of the Latin-1 set is not part of the wide-character
subset, since the most significant bit is used for wide character
encoding.  However, this only applies to the external forms.  Internally
there is no such restriction.

@cindex Integer types
@unnumberedsec 3.5.4(28): Integer Types

@sp 1
@cartouche
An implementation should support @code{Long_Integer} in addition to
@code{Integer} if the target machine supports 32-bit (or longer)
arithmetic.  No other named integer subtypes are recommended for package
@code{Standard}.  Instead, appropriate named integer subtypes should be
provided in the library package @code{Interfaces} (see B.2).
@end cartouche
@code{Long_Integer} is supported.  Other standard integer types are supported
so this advice is not fully followed.  These types
are supported for convenient interface to C, and so that all hardware
types of the machine are easily available.
@unnumberedsec 3.5.4(29): Integer Types

@sp 1
@cartouche
An implementation for a two's complement machine should support
modular types with a binary modulus up to @code{System.Max_Int*2+2}.  An
implementation should support a non-binary modules up to @code{Integer'Last}.
@end cartouche
Followed.

@cindex Enumeration values
@unnumberedsec 3.5.5(8): Enumeration Values
@sp 1
@cartouche
For the evaluation of a call on @code{@var{S}'Pos} for an enumeration
subtype, if the value of the operand does not correspond to the internal
code for any enumeration literal of its type (perhaps due to an
un-initialized variable), then the implementation should raise
@code{Program_Error}.  This is particularly important for enumeration
types with noncontiguous internal codes specified by an
enumeration_representation_clause.
@end cartouche
Followed.

@cindex Float types
@unnumberedsec 3.5.7(17): Float Types
@sp 1
@cartouche
An implementation should support @code{Long_Float} in addition to
@code{Float} if the target machine supports 11 or more digits of
precision.  No other named floating point subtypes are recommended for
package @code{Standard}.  Instead, appropriate named floating point subtypes
should be provided in the library package @code{Interfaces} (see B.2).
@end cartouche
@code{Short_Float} and @code{Long_Long_Float} are also provided.  The
former provides improved compatibility with other implementations
supporting this type.  The latter corresponds to the highest precision
floating-point type supported by the hardware.  On most machines, this
will be the same as @code{Long_Float}, but on some machines, it will
correspond to the IEEE extended form.  The notable case is all ia32
(x86) implementations, where @code{Long_Long_Float} corresponds to
the 80-bit extended precision format supported in hardware on this
processor.  Note that the 128-bit format on SPARC is not supported,
since this is a software rather than a hardware format.

@cindex Multidimensional arrays
@cindex Arrays, multidimensional
@unnumberedsec 3.6.2(11): Multidimensional Arrays
@sp 1
@cartouche
An implementation should normally represent multidimensional arrays in
row-major order, consistent with the notation used for multidimensional
array aggregates (see 4.3.3).  However, if a pragma @code{Convention}
(@code{Fortran}, @dots{}) applies to a multidimensional array type, then
column-major order should be used instead (see B.5, ``Interfacing with
Fortran'').
@end cartouche
Followed.

@findex Duration'Small
@unnumberedsec 9.6(30-31): Duration'Small
@sp 1
@cartouche
Whenever possible in an implementation, the value of @code{Duration'Small}
should be no greater than 100 microseconds.
@end cartouche
Followed.  (@code{Duration'Small} = 10**(@minus{}9)).

@sp 1
@cartouche
The time base for @code{delay_relative_statements} should be monotonic;
it need not be the same time base as used for @code{Calendar.Clock}.
@end cartouche
Followed.

@unnumberedsec 10.2.1(12): Consistent Representation
@sp 1
@cartouche
In an implementation, a type declared in a pre-elaborated package should
have the same representation in every elaboration of a given version of
the package, whether the elaborations occur in distinct executions of
the same program, or in executions of distinct programs or partitions
that include the given version.
@end cartouche
Followed, except in the case of tagged types.  Tagged types involve
implicit pointers to a local copy of a dispatch table, and these pointers
have representations which thus depend on a particular elaboration of the
package.  It is not easy to see how it would be possible to follow this
advice without severely impacting efficiency of execution.

@cindex Exception information
@unnumberedsec 11.4.1(19): Exception Information
@sp 1
@cartouche
@code{Exception_Message} by default and @code{Exception_Information}
should produce information useful for
debugging.  @code{Exception_Message} should be short, about one
line.  @code{Exception_Information} can be long.  @code{Exception_Message}
should not include the
@code{Exception_Name}.  @code{Exception_Information} should include both
the @code{Exception_Name} and the @code{Exception_Message}.
@end cartouche
Followed.  For each exception that doesn't have a specified
@code{Exception_Message}, the compiler generates one containing the location
of the raise statement.  This location has the form ``file:line'', where
file is the short file name (without path information) and line is the line
number in the file.  Note that in the case of the Zero Cost Exception
mechanism, these messages become redundant with the Exception_Information that
contains a full backtrace of the calling sequence, so they are disabled.
To disable explicitly the generation of the source location message, use the
Pragma @code{Discard_Names}.

@cindex Suppression of checks
@cindex Checks, suppression of
@unnumberedsec 11.5(28): Suppression of Checks
@sp 1
@cartouche
The implementation should minimize the code executed for checks that
have been suppressed.
@end cartouche
Followed.

@cindex Representation clauses
@unnumberedsec 13.1 (21-24): Representation Clauses
@sp 1
@cartouche
The recommended level of support for all representation items is
qualified as follows:
@end cartouche
@sp 1
@cartouche
An implementation need not support representation items containing
non-static expressions, except that an implementation should support a
representation item for a given entity if each non-static expression in
the representation item is a name that statically denotes a constant
declared before the entity.
@end cartouche
Followed.  In fact, GNAT goes beyond the recommended level of support
by allowing nonstatic expressions in some representation clauses even
without the need to declare constants initialized with the values of
such expressions.
For example:

@smallexample @c ada
  X : Integer;
  Y : Float;
  for Y'Address use X'Address;>>
@end smallexample

@sp 1
@cartouche
An implementation need not support a specification for the @code{Size}
for a given composite subtype, nor the size or storage place for an
object (including a component) of a given composite subtype, unless the
constraints on the subtype and its composite subcomponents (if any) are
all static constraints.
@end cartouche
Followed.  Size Clauses are not permitted on non-static components, as
described above.

@sp 1
@cartouche
An aliased component, or a component whose type is by-reference, should
always be allocated at an addressable location.
@end cartouche
Followed.

@cindex Packed types
@unnumberedsec 13.2(6-8): Packed Types
@sp 1
@cartouche
If a type is packed, then the implementation should try to minimize
storage allocated to objects of the type, possibly at the expense of
speed of accessing components, subject to reasonable complexity in
addressing calculations.
@end cartouche
@sp 1
@cartouche
The recommended level of support pragma @code{Pack} is:

For a packed record type, the components should be packed as tightly as
possible subject to the Sizes of the component subtypes, and subject to
any @code{record_representation_clause} that applies to the type; the
implementation may, but need not, reorder components or cross aligned
word boundaries to improve the packing.  A component whose @code{Size} is
greater than the word size may be allocated an integral number of words.
@end cartouche
Followed.  Tight packing of arrays is supported for all component sizes
up to 64-bits. If the array component size is 1 (that is to say, if
the component is a boolean type or an enumeration type with two values)
then values of the type are implicitly initialized to zero. This
happens both for objects of the packed type, and for objects that have a
subcomponent of the packed type.

@sp 1
@cartouche
An implementation should support Address clauses for imported
subprograms.
@end cartouche
Followed.
@cindex @code{Address} clauses
@unnumberedsec 13.3(14-19): Address Clauses

@sp 1
@cartouche
For an array @var{X}, @code{@var{X}'Address} should point at the first
component of the array, and not at the array bounds.
@end cartouche
Followed.

@sp 1
@cartouche
The recommended level of support for the @code{Address} attribute is:

@code{@var{X}'Address} should produce a useful result if @var{X} is an
object that is aliased or of a by-reference type, or is an entity whose
@code{Address} has been specified.
@end cartouche
Followed.  A valid address will be produced even if none of those
conditions have been met.  If necessary, the object is forced into
memory to ensure the address is valid.

@sp 1
@cartouche
An implementation should support @code{Address} clauses for imported
subprograms.
@end cartouche
Followed.

@sp 1
@cartouche
Objects (including subcomponents) that are aliased or of a by-reference
type should be allocated on storage element boundaries.
@end cartouche

@sp 1
@cartouche
If the @code{Address} of an object is specified, or it is imported or exported,
then the implementation should not perform optimizations based on
assumptions of no aliases.

@cindex @code{Alignment} clauses
@unnumberedsec 13.3(29-35): Alignment Clauses
@sp 1
@cartouche
The recommended level of support for the @code{Alignment} attribute for
subtypes is:

An implementation should support specified Alignments that are factors
and multiples of the number of storage elements per word, subject to the
following:
@end cartouche
Followed.

@sp 1
@cartouche
An implementation need not support specified @code{Alignment}s for
combinations of @code{Size}s and @code{Alignment}s that cannot be easily

The recommended level of support for the @code{Alignment} attribute for
objects is:

Same as above, for subtypes, but in addition:
@end cartouche
Followed.

@sp 1
@cartouche
For stand-alone library-level objects of statically constrained
subtypes, the implementation should support all @code{Alignment}s
supported by the target linker.  For example, page alignment is likely to
be supported for such objects, but not for subtypes.
@end cartouche
Followed.

@cindex @code{Size} clauses
@unnumberedsec 13.3(42-43): Size Clauses
@sp 1
@cartouche
The recommended level of support for the @code{Size} attribute of
objects is:

A @code{Size} clause should be supported for an object if the specified
@code{Size} is at least as large as its subtype's @code{Size}, and
corresponds to a size in storage elements that is a multiple of the
object's @code{Alignment} (if the @code{Alignment} is nonzero).
@end cartouche

@unnumberedsec 13.3(50-56): Size Clauses
@sp 1
@cartouche
If the @code{Size} of a subtype is specified, and allows for efficient

the @code{Size} of the following objects of the subtype should equal the
@code{Size} of the subtype:

Aliased objects (including components).
@end cartouche

@sp 1
@cartouche
@code{Size} clause on a composite subtype should not affect the

pragma Implicit_Packing in the case of packed arrays.

@sp 1
@cartouche
The recommended level of support for the @code{Size} attribute of subtypes is:
@end cartouche
@sp 1
@cartouche
The @code{Size} (if not specified) of a static discrete or fixed point
subtype should be the number of bits needed to represent each value
belonging to the subtype using an unbiased representation, leaving space
for a sign bit only if the subtype contains negative values.  If such a
subtype is a first subtype, then an implementation should support a
specified @code{Size} for it that reflects this representation.
@end cartouche
Followed.

For a subtype implemented with levels of indirection, the @code{Size}
should include the size of the pointers, but not the size of what they

An implementation should support specified @code{Component_Size}s that
are factors and multiples of the word size.  For such
@code{Component_Size}s, the array should contain no gaps between

for boolean types, but should at minimum support the internal codes in
the range @code{System.Min_Int.System.Max_Int}.
@end cartouche
Followed.

@cindex Record representation clauses
@cindex Representation clauses, records
@unnumberedsec 13.5.1(17-22): Record Representation Clauses
@sp 1
@cartouche
The recommended level of support for
@*@code{record_representation_clauses} is:

An implementation should support storage places that can be extracted
with a load, mask, shift sequence of machine code, and set with a load,
shift, mask, store sequence, given the available machine instructions
and run-time model.
@end cartouche
Followed.

@sp 1
@cartouche
A storage place should be supported if its size is equal to the
@code{Size} of the component subtype, and it starts and ends on a
boundary that obeys the @code{Alignment} of the component subtype.
@end cartouche
Followed.

@sp 1
@cartouche
If the default bit ordering applies to the declaration of a given type,
then for a component whose subtype's @code{Size} is less than the word
size, any storage place that does not cross an aligned word boundary
should be supported.
@end cartouche
Followed.

@sp 1
@cartouche
An implementation may reserve a storage place for the tag field of a
tagged type, and disallow other components from overlapping that place.
@end cartouche
Followed.  The storage place for the tag field is the beginning of the tagged
record, and its size is Address'Size.  GNAT will reject an explicit component
clause for the tag field.

@sp 1
@cartouche
An implementation need not support a @code{component_clause} for a
component of an extension part if the storage place is not after the
storage places of all components of the parent type, whether or not
those storage places had been specified.
@end cartouche
Followed.  The above advice on record representation clauses is followed,
and all mentioned features are implemented.

@cindex Storage place attributes
@unnumberedsec 13.5.2(5): Storage Place Attributes
@sp 1
@cartouche
If a component is represented using some form of pointer (such as an
offset) to the actual data of the component, and this data is contiguous
with the rest of the object, then the storage place attributes should
reflect the place of the actual data, not the pointer.  If a component is
allocated discontinuously from the rest of the object, then a warning
should be generated upon reference to one of its storage place
attributes.
@end cartouche
Followed.  There are no such components in GNAT@.

@cindex Bit ordering
@unnumberedsec 13.5.3(7-8): Bit Ordering
@sp 1
@cartouche
The recommended level of support for the non-default bit ordering is:
@end cartouche
@sp 1
@cartouche
If @code{Word_Size} = @code{Storage_Unit}, then the implementation
should support the non-default bit ordering in addition to the default
bit ordering.
@end cartouche
Followed.  Word size does not equal storage size in this implementation.
Thus non-default bit ordering is not supported.

@cindex @code{Address}, as private type
@unnumberedsec 13.7(37): Address as Private
@sp 1
@cartouche
@code{Address} should be of a private type.
@end cartouche

@cindex Operations, on @code{Address}
@cindex @code{Address}, operations of
@unnumberedsec 13.7.1(16): Address Operations
@sp 1
@cartouche
Operations in @code{System} and its children should reflect the target
environment semantics as closely as is reasonable.  For example, on most
machines, it makes sense for address arithmetic to ``wrap around''.
Operations that do not make sense should raise @code{Program_Error}.
@end cartouche
Followed.  Address arithmetic is modular arithmetic that wraps around.  No
operation raises @code{Program_Error}, since all operations make sense.

@cindex Unchecked conversion
@unnumberedsec 13.9(14-17): Unchecked Conversion
@sp 1
@cartouche
The @code{Size} of an array object should not include its bounds; hence,
the bounds should not be part of the converted data.
@end cartouche
Followed.

@sp 1
@cartouche
The implementation should not generate unnecessary run-time checks to
ensure that the representation of @var{S} is a representation of the
target type.  It should take advantage of the permission to return by
reference when possible.  Restrictions on unchecked conversions should be
avoided unless required by the target environment.
@end cartouche
Followed.  There are no restrictions on unchecked conversion.  A warning is
generated if the source and target types do not have the same size since
the semantics in this case may be target dependent.

@sp 1
@cartouche
The recommended level of support for unchecked conversions is:
@end cartouche
@sp 1
@cartouche
Unchecked conversions should be supported and should be reversible in
the cases where this clause defines the result.  To enable meaningful use
of unchecked conversion, a contiguous representation should be used for
elementary subtypes, for statically constrained array subtypes whose
component subtype is one of the subtypes described in this paragraph,
and for record subtypes without discriminants whose component subtypes
are described in this paragraph.
@end cartouche
Followed.

@cindex Heap usage, implicit
@unnumberedsec 13.11(23-25): Implicit Heap Usage
@sp 1
@cartouche
An implementation should document any cases in which it dynamically
allocates heap storage for a purpose other than the evaluation of an
allocator.
@end cartouche
Followed, the only other points at which heap storage is dynamically
allocated are as follows:

@itemize @bullet
@item
At initial elaboration time, to allocate dynamically sized global
objects.

@item
To allocate space for a task when a task is created.

@item
To extend the secondary stack dynamically when needed.  The secondary
stack is used for returning variable length results.
@end itemize

@sp 1
@cartouche
A default (implementation-provided) storage pool for an
access-to-constant type should not have overhead to support deallocation of
individual objects.
@end cartouche
Followed.

@sp 1
@cartouche
A storage pool for an anonymous access type should be created at the
point of an allocator for the type, and be reclaimed when the designated
object becomes inaccessible.
@end cartouche
Followed.

@cindex Unchecked deallocation
@unnumberedsec 13.11.2(17): Unchecked De-allocation

@cartouche
For a standard storage pool, @code{Free} should actually reclaim the
storage.
@end cartouche
Followed.

@cindex Stream oriented attributes
@unnumberedsec 13.13.2(17): Stream Oriented Attributes
@sp 1
@cartouche
If a stream element is the same size as a storage element, then the
normal in-memory representation should be used by @code{Read} and
@code{Write} for scalar objects.  Otherwise, @code{Read} and @code{Write}
should use the smallest number of stream elements needed to represent
all values in the base range of the scalar type.
@end cartouche

Followed.  By default, GNAT uses the interpretation suggested by AI-195,
which specifies using the size of the first subtype.
However, such an implementation is based on direct binary
representations and is therefore target- and endianness-dependent.
To address this issue, GNAT also supplies an alternate implementation
of the stream attributes @code{Read} and @code{Write},
which uses the target-independent XDR standard representation
for scalar types.
@cindex XDR representation
@cindex @code{Read} attribute
@cindex @code{Write} attribute
@cindex Stream oriented attributes
The XDR implementation is provided as an alternative body of the
@code{System.Stream_Attributes} package, in the file
@file{s-strxdr.adb} in the GNAT library.
There is no @file{s-strxdr.ads} file.
In order to install the XDR implementation, do the following:
@enumerate
@item Replace the default implementation of the
@code{System.Stream_Attributes} package with the XDR implementation.
For example on a Unix platform issue the commands:
@smallexample
$ mv s-stratt.adb s-strold.adb
$ mv s-strxdr.adb s-stratt.adb
@end smallexample

@item
Rebuild the GNAT run-time library as documented in

@end enumerate

@unnumberedsec A.1(52): Names of Predefined Numeric Types
@sp 1
@cartouche
If an implementation provides additional named predefined integer types,

@end cartouche
Followed.

@findex Ada.Characters.Handling
@unnumberedsec A.3.2(49): @code{Ada.Characters.Handling}
@sp 1
@cartouche
If an implementation provides a localized definition of @code{Character}
or @code{Wide_Character}, then the effects of the subprograms in
@code{Characters.Handling} should reflect the localizations.  See also
3.5.2.
@end cartouche
Followed.  GNAT provides no such localized definitions.

@cindex Bounded-length strings
@unnumberedsec A.4.4(106): Bounded-Length String Handling

@cindex Random number generation
@unnumberedsec A.5.2(46-47): Random Number Generation
@sp 1
@cartouche
Any storage associated with an object of type @code{Generator} should be
reclaimed on exit from the scope of the object.
@end cartouche
Followed.

@sp 1
@cartouche
If the generator period is sufficiently long in relation to the number
of distinct initiator values, then each possible value of
@code{Initiator} passed to @code{Reset} should initiate a sequence of
random numbers that does not, in a practical sense, overlap the sequence
initiated by any other value.  If this is not possible, then the mapping
between initiator values and generator states should be a rapidly
varying function of the initiator value.
@end cartouche
Followed.  The generator period is sufficiently long for the first
condition here to hold true.

@findex Get_Immediate
@unnumberedsec A.10.7(23): @code{Get_Immediate}
@sp 1
@cartouche
The @code{Get_Immediate} procedures should be implemented with
unbuffered input.  For a device such as a keyboard, input should be
@dfn{available} if a key has already been typed, whereas for a disk
file, input should always be available except at end of file.  For a file
associated with a keyboard-like device, any line-editing features of the
underlying operating system should be disabled during the execution of
@code{Get_Immediate}.
@end cartouche
Followed on all targets except VxWorks. For VxWorks, there is no way to
provide this functionality that does not result in the input buffer being
flushed before the @code{Get_Immediate} call. A special unit
@code{Interfaces.Vxworks.IO} is provided that contains routines to enable
this functionality.

@findex Export
@unnumberedsec B.1(39-41): Pragma @code{Export}
@sp 1
@cartouche
If an implementation supports pragma @code{Export} to a given language,
then it should also allow the main subprogram to be written in that
language.  It should support some mechanism for invoking the elaboration
of the Ada library units included in the system, and for invoking the
finalization of the environment task.  On typical systems, the
recommended mechanism is to provide two subprograms whose link names are
@code{adainit} and @code{adafinal}.  @code{adainit} should contain the
elaboration code for library units.  @code{adafinal} should contain the
finalization code.  These subprograms should have no effect the second
and subsequent time they are called.
@end cartouche
Followed.

@sp 1
@cartouche
Automatic elaboration of pre-elaborated packages should be
provided when pragma @code{Export} is supported.
@end cartouche
Followed when the main program is in Ada.  If the main program is in a
foreign language, then
@code{adainit} must be called to elaborate pre-elaborated
packages.

@sp 1
@cartouche
For each supported convention @var{L} other than @code{Intrinsic}, an
implementation should support @code{Import} and @code{Export} pragmas
for objects of @var{L}-compatible types and for subprograms, and pragma
@code{Convention} for @var{L}-eligible types and for subprograms,
presuming the other language has corresponding features.  Pragma

@sp 1
@cartouche
If an entity is exported to assembly language, then the implementation
should allocate it at an addressable location, and should ensure that it

recommended that the storage for task attributes will be pre-allocated
statically and not from the heap.  This can be accomplished by either
placing restrictions on the number and the size of the task's

@cindex Complex types
@unnumberedsec G.1.1(56-58): Complex Types
@sp 2
@cartouche
Because the usual mathematical meaning of multiplication of a complex
operand and a real operand is that of the scaling of both components of
the former by the latter, an implementation should not perform this
operation by first promoting the real operand to complex type and then
performing a full complex multiplication.  In systems that, in the
future, support an Ada binding to IEC 559:1989, the latter technique
will not generate the required result when one of the components of the
complex operand is infinite.  (Explicit multiplication of the infinite
component by the zero component obtained during promotion yields a NaN
that propagates into the final result.) Analogous advice applies in the
case of multiplication of a complex operand and a pure-imaginary
operand, and in the case of division of a complex operand by a real or
pure-imaginary operand.
@end cartouche
Not followed.

@sp 1
@cartouche
Similarly, because the usual mathematical meaning of addition of a
complex operand and a real operand is that the imaginary operand remains
unchanged, an implementation should not perform this operation by first
promoting the real operand to complex type and then performing a full
complex addition.  In implementations in which the @code{Signed_Zeros}
attribute of the component type is @code{True} (and which therefore
conform to IEC 559:1989 in regard to the handling of the sign of zero in
predefined arithmetic operations), the latter technique will not
generate the required result when the imaginary component of the complex
operand is a negatively signed zero.  (Explicit addition of the negative
zero to the zero obtained during promotion yields a positive zero.)
Analogous advice applies in the case of addition of a complex operand

@chapter Implementation Defined Characteristics

@noindent
In addition to the implementation dependent pragmas and attributes, and
the implementation advice, there are a number of other Ada features
that are potentially implementation dependent.  These are mentioned
throughout the Ada Reference Manual, and are summarized in Annex M@.

A requirement for conforming Ada compilers is that they provide
documentation describing how the implementation deals with each of these
issues.  In this chapter, you will find each point in Annex M listed
followed by a description in italic font of how GNAT
@c SGI info:
@ignore
in the ProDev Ada
implementation on IRIX 5.3 operating system or greater
@end ignore
handles the implementation dependence.

You can use this chapter as a guide to minimizing implementation
dependent features in your programs if portability to other compilers
and other operating systems is an important consideration.  The numbers

@strong{31}.  The manner of explicitly assigning library units to a

@end cartouche
@noindent
If a unit contains an Ada main program, then the Ada units for the partition
are determined by recursive application of the rules in the Ada Reference
Manual section 10.2(2-6).  In other words, the Ada units will be those that
are needed by the main program, and then this definition of need is applied
recursively to those units, and the partition contains the transitive
closure determined by this relationship.  In short, all the necessary units
are included, with no need to explicitly specify the list.  If additional
units are required, e.g.@: by foreign language units, then all units must be
mentioned in the context clause of one of the needed Ada units.

If the partition contains no main program, or if the main program is in
a language other than Ada, then GNAT
provides the binder options @option{-z} and @option{-n} respectively, and in
this case a list of units can be explicitly supplied to the binder for
inclusion in the partition (all units needed by these units will also
be included automatically).  For full details on the use of these
options, refer to @ref{The GNAT Make Program gnatmake,,, gnat_ugn,

@strong{32}.  The implementation-defined means, if any, of specifying
which compilation units are needed by a given compilation unit.  See

implementation-defined pragmas or other implementation-defined
means for specifying needed units.

@noindent
@strong{34}.  The order of elaboration of @code{library_items}.  See
10.2(18).
@end cartouche
@noindent
The first constraint on ordering is that it meets the requirements of
Chapter 10 of the Ada Reference Manual.  This still leaves some
implementation dependent choices, which are resolved by first
elaborating bodies as early as possible (i.e., in preference to specs
where there is a choice), and second by evaluating the immediate with
clauses of a unit to determine the probably best choice, and
third by elaborating in alphabetical order of unit names
where a choice still remains.

@sp 1
@cartouche
@noindent
@strong{35}.  Parameter passing and function return for the main
subprogram.  See 10.2(21).
@end cartouche

The main program has no parameters.  It may be a procedure, or a function
returning an integer type.  In the latter case, the returned integer
value is the return code of the program (overriding any value that
may have been set by a call to @code{Ada.Command_Line.Set_Exit_Status}).

@sp 1
@cartouche

@strong{52}.  The effect of unchecked conversion.  See 13.9(11).
@end cartouche
@noindent
Unchecked conversion between types of the same size
results in an uninterpreted transmission of the bits from one type
to the other.  If the types are of unequal sizes, then in the case of
discrete types, a shorter source is first zero or sign extended as
necessary, and a shorter target is simply truncated on the left.
For all non-discrete types, the source is first copied if necessary
to ensure that the alignment requirements of the target are met, then
a pointer is constructed to the source value, and the result is obtained
by dereferencing this pointer after converting it to be a pointer to the
target type. Unchecked conversions where the target subtype is an
unconstrained array are not permitted. If the target alignment is
greater than the source alignment, then a copy of the result is
made with appropriate alignment

There are 3 different standard pools used by the compiler when
@code{Storage_Pool} is not specified depending whether the type is local
to a subprogram or defined at the library level and whether
@code{Storage_Size}is specified or not.  See documentation in the runtime

@code{Restrictions}.  See 13.12(7).
@end cartouche
@noindent
All RM defined Restriction identifiers are implemented.  The following
additional restriction identifiers are provided.  There are two separate
lists of implementation dependent restriction identifiers.  The first
set requires consistency throughout a partition (in other words, if the
restriction identifier is used for any compilation unit in the partition,
then all compilation units in the partition must obey the restriction.

@table @code

@item Simple_Barriers
@findex Simple_Barriers
This restriction ensures at compile time that barriers in entry declarations
for protected types are restricted to either static boolean expressions or
references to simple boolean variables defined in the private part of the
protected type.  No other form of entry barriers is permitted.  This is one
of the restrictions of the Ravenscar profile for limited tasking (see also
pragma @code{Profile (Ravenscar)}).

@item Max_Entry_Queue_Length => Expr
@findex Max_Entry_Queue_Length
This restriction is a declaration that any protected entry compiled in
the scope of the restriction has at most the specified number of
tasks waiting on the entry
at any one time, and so no queue is required.  This restriction is not
checked at compile time.  A program execution is erroneous if an attempt
is made to queue more than the specified number of tasks on such an entry.

@item No_Calendar
@findex No_Calendar
This restriction ensures at compile time that there is no implicit or
explicit dependence on the package @code{Ada.Calendar}.

@item No_Default_Initialization
@findex No_Default_Initialization

This restriction prohibits any instance of default initialization of variables.
The binder implements a consistency rule which prevents any unit compiled
without the restriction from with'ing a unit with the restriction (this allows
the generation of initialization procedures to be skipped, since you can be
sure that no call is ever generated to an initialization procedure in a unit
with the restriction active). If used in conjunction with Initialize_Scalars or
Normalize_Scalars, the effect is to prohibit all cases of variables declared
without a specific initializer (including the case of OUT scalar parameters).

@item No_Direct_Boolean_Operators
@findex No_Direct_Boolean_Operators
This restriction ensures that no logical (and/or/xor) are used on
operands of type Boolean (or any type derived
from Boolean). This is intended for use in safety critical programs
where the certification protocol requires the use of short-circuit
(and then, or else) forms for all composite boolean operations.

@item No_Dispatching_Calls
@findex No_Dispatching_Calls
This restriction ensures at compile time that the code generated by the
compiler involves no dispatching calls. The use of this restriction allows the
safe use of record extensions, classwide membership tests and other classwide
features not involving implicit dispatching. This restriction ensures that
the code contains no indirect calls through a dispatching mechanism. Note that
this includes internally-generated calls created by the compiler, for example
in the implementation of class-wide objects assignments. The
membership test is allowed in the presence of this restriction, because its
implementation requires no dispatching.
This restriction is comparable to the official Ada restriction
@code{No_Dispatch} except that it is a bit less restrictive in that it allows
all classwide constructs that do not imply dispatching.
The following example indicates constructs that violate this restriction.

@smallexample
package Pkg is
  type T is tagged record
    Data : Natural;
  end record;
  procedure P (X : T);

  type DT is new T with record

@item No_Dynamic_Attachment
@findex No_Dynamic_Attachment
This restriction ensures that there is no call to any of the operations
defined in package Ada.Interrupts.

@item No_Enumeration_Maps
@findex No_Enumeration_Maps
This restriction ensures at compile time that no operations requiring
enumeration maps are used (that is Image and Value attributes applied
to enumeration types).

@item No_Entry_Calls_In_Elaboration_Code
@findex No_Entry_Calls_In_Elaboration_Code
This restriction ensures at compile time that no task or protected entry
calls are made during elaboration code.  As a result of the use of this
restriction, the compiler can assume that no code past an accept statement
in a task can be executed at elaboration time.

@item No_Exception_Handlers
@findex No_Exception_Handlers
This restriction ensures at compile time that there are no explicit
exception handlers. It also indicates that no exception propagation will
be provided. In this mode, exceptions may be raised but will result in
an immediate call to the last chance handler, a routine that the user
must define with the following profile:

@smallexample @c ada
procedure Last_Chance_Handler
  (Source_Location : System.Address; Line : Integer);
pragma Export (C, Last_Chance_Handler,
               "__gnat_last_chance_handler");
@end smallexample

The parameter is a C null-terminated string representing a message to be
associated with the exception (typically the source location of the raise
statement generated by the compiler). The Line parameter when nonzero
represents the line number in the source program where the raise occurs.

@item No_Exception_Propagation
@findex No_Exception_Propagation
This restriction guarantees that exceptions are never propagated to an outer
subprogram scope). The only case in which an exception may be raised is when
the handler is statically in the same subprogram, so that the effect of a raise
is essentially like a goto statement. Any other raise statement (implicit or
explicit) will be considered unhandled. Exception handlers are allowed, but may
not contain an exception occurrence identifier (exception choice). In addition
use of the package GNAT.Current_Exception is not permitted, and reraise
statements (raise with no operand) are not permitted.

@item No_Exception_Registration
@findex No_Exception_Registration
This restriction ensures at compile time that no stream operations for
types Exception_Id or Exception_Occurrence are used. This also makes it
impossible to pass exceptions to or from a partition with this restriction
in a distributed environment. If this exception is active, then the generated
code is simplified by omitting the otherwise-required global registration
of exceptions when they are declared.

@item No_Implicit_Conditionals
@findex No_Implicit_Conditionals
This restriction ensures that the generated code does not contain any
implicit conditionals, either by modifying the generated code where possible,
or by rejecting any construct that would otherwise generate an implicit
conditional. Note that this check does not include run time constraint
checks, which on some targets may generate implicit conditionals as
well. To control the latter, constraint checks can be suppressed in the
normal manner. Constructs generating implicit conditionals include comparisons
of composite objects and the Max/Min attributes.

@item No_Implicit_Dynamic_Code
@findex No_Implicit_Dynamic_Code
@cindex trampoline
This restriction prevents the compiler from building ``trampolines''.
This is a structure that is built on the stack and contains dynamic
code to be executed at run time. On some targets, a trampoline is
built for the following features: @code{Access},
@code{Unrestricted_Access}, or @code{Address} of a nested subprogram;
nested task bodies; primitive operations of nested tagged types.
Trampolines do not work on machines that prevent execution of stack
data. For example, on windows systems, enabling DEP (data execution
protection) will cause trampolines to raise an exception.
Trampolines are also quite slow at run time.

On many targets, trampolines have been largely eliminated. Look at the
version of system.ads for your target --- if it has
Always_Compatible_Rep equal to False, then trampolines are largely
eliminated. In particular, a trampoline is built for the following
features: @code{Address} of a nested subprogram;
@code{Access} or @code{Unrestricted_Access} of a nested subprogram,
but only if pragma Favor_Top_Level applies, or the access type has a
foreign-language convention; primitive operations of nested tagged
types.

@item No_Implicit_Loops
@findex No_Implicit_Loops
This restriction ensures that the generated code does not contain any
implicit @code{for} loops, either by modifying
the generated code where possible,
or by rejecting any construct that would otherwise generate an implicit
@code{for} loop. If this restriction is active, it is possible to build
large array aggregates with all static components without generating an
intermediate temporary, and without generating a loop to initialize individual
components. Otherwise, a loop is created for arrays larger than about 5000
scalar components.

@item No_Initialize_Scalars
@findex No_Initialize_Scalars
This restriction ensures that no unit in the partition is compiled with
pragma Initialize_Scalars. This allows the generation of more efficient
code, and in particular eliminates dummy null initialization routines that
are otherwise generated for some record and array types.

@item No_Local_Protected_Objects
@findex No_Local_Protected_Objects
This restriction ensures at compile time that protected objects are
only declared at the library level.

@item No_Protected_Type_Allocators
@findex No_Protected_Type_Allocators
This restriction ensures at compile time that there are no allocator
expressions that attempt to allocate protected objects.

@item No_Secondary_Stack
@findex No_Secondary_Stack
This restriction ensures at compile time that the generated code does not
contain any reference to the secondary stack.  The secondary stack is used
to implement functions returning unconstrained objects (arrays or records)
on some targets.

@item No_Select_Statements
@findex No_Select_Statements
This restriction ensures at compile time no select statements of any kind
are permitted, that is the keyword @code{select} may not appear.
This is one of the restrictions of the Ravenscar
profile for limited tasking (see also pragma @code{Profile (Ravenscar)}).

@item No_Standard_Storage_Pools
@findex No_Standard_Storage_Pools
This restriction ensures at compile time that no access types
use the standard default storage pool.  Any access type declared must
have an explicit Storage_Pool attribute defined specifying a
user-defined storage pool.

@item No_Streams
@findex No_Streams
This restriction ensures at compile/bind time that there are no
stream objects created and no use of stream attributes.
This restriction does not forbid dependences on the package
@code{Ada.Streams}. So it is permissible to with
@code{Ada.Streams} (or another package that does so itself)
as long as no actual stream objects are created and no
stream attributes are used.

Note that the use of restriction allows optimization of tagged types,
since they do not need to worry about dispatching stream operations.
To take maximum advantage of this space-saving optimization, any
unit declaring a tagged type should be compiled with the restriction,
though this is not required.

@item No_Task_Attributes_Package
@findex No_Task_Attributes_Package
This restriction ensures at compile time that there are no implicit or
explicit dependencies on the package @code{Ada.Task_Attributes}.

@item No_Task_Termination
@findex No_Task_Termination
This restriction ensures at compile time that no terminate alternatives
appear in any task body.

@item No_Tasking
@findex No_Tasking
This restriction prevents the declaration of tasks or task types throughout
the partition.  It is similar in effect to the use of @code{Max_Tasks => 0}
except that violations are caught at compile time and cause an error message
to be output either by the compiler or binder.

@item Static_Priorities
@findex Static_Priorities
This restriction ensures at compile time that all priority expressions
are static, and that there are no dependencies on the package
@code{Ada.Dynamic_Priorities}.

@item Static_Storage_Size
@findex Static_Storage_Size
This restriction ensures at compile time that any expression appearing
in a Storage_Size pragma or attribute definition clause is static.

@end table

@noindent
The second set of implementation dependent restriction identifiers
does not require partition-wide consistency.
The restriction may be enforced for a single
compilation unit without any effect on any of the
other compilation units in the partition.

@table @code

@item No_Elaboration_Code
@findex No_Elaboration_Code
This restriction ensures at compile time that no elaboration code is
generated.  Note that this is not the same condition as is enforced
by pragma @code{Preelaborate}.  There are cases in which pragma
@code{Preelaborate} still permits code to be generated (e.g.@: code
to initialize a large array to all zeroes), and there are cases of units
which do not meet the requirements for pragma @code{Preelaborate},
but for which no elaboration code is generated.  Generally, it is
the case that preelaborable units will meet the restrictions, with
the exception of large aggregates initialized with an others_clause,
and exception declarations (which generate calls to a run-time
registry procedure).  This restriction is enforced on
a unit by unit basis, it need not be obeyed consistently
throughout a partition.

In the case of aggregates with others, if the aggregate has a dynamic
size, there is no way to eliminate the elaboration code (such dynamic
bounds would be incompatible with @code{Preelaborate} in any case). If
the bounds are static, then use of this restriction actually modifies
the code choice of the compiler to avoid generating a loop, and instead
generate the aggregate statically if possible, no matter how many times
the data for the others clause must be repeatedly generated.

It is not possible to precisely document
the constructs which are compatible with this restriction, since,
unlike most other restrictions, this is not a restriction on the
source code, but a restriction on the generated object code. For
example, if the source contains a declaration:

@smallexample
   Val : constant Integer := X;
@end smallexample

@noindent
where X is not a static constant, it may be possible, depending
on complex optimization circuitry, for the compiler to figure
out the value of X at compile time, in which case this initialization
can be done by the loader, and requires no initialization code. It
is not possible to document the precise conditions under which the
optimizer can figure this out.

Note that this the implementation of this restriction requires full
code generation. If it is used in conjunction with "semantics only"
checking, then some cases of violations may be missed.

@item No_Entry_Queue
@findex No_Entry_Queue
This restriction is a declaration that any protected entry compiled in
the scope of the restriction has at most one task waiting on the entry
at any one time, and so no queue is required.  This restriction is not
checked at compile time.  A program execution is erroneous if an attempt
is made to queue a second task on such an entry.

@item No_Implementation_Attributes
@findex No_Implementation_Attributes
This restriction checks at compile time that no GNAT-defined attributes
are present.  With this restriction, the only attributes that can be used
are those defined in the Ada Reference Manual.

@item No_Implementation_Pragmas
@findex No_Implementation_Pragmas
This restriction checks at compile time that no GNAT-defined pragmas
are present.  With this restriction, the only pragmas that can be used
are those defined in the Ada Reference Manual.

@item No_Implementation_Restrictions
@findex No_Implementation_Restrictions
This restriction checks at compile time that no GNAT-defined restriction
identifiers (other than @code{No_Implementation_Restrictions} itself)
are present.  With this restriction, the only other restriction identifiers
that can be used are those defined in the Ada Reference Manual.

@item No_Wide_Characters
@findex No_Wide_Characters
This restriction ensures at compile time that no uses of the types
@code{Wide_Character} or @code{Wide_String} or corresponding wide
wide types
appear, and that no wide or wide wide string or character literals
appear in the program (that is literals representing characters not in
type @code{Character}.

The result of this attribute is a string that identifies
the object or component that denotes a given task. If a variable @code{Var}
has a task type, the image for this task will have the form @code{Var_@var{XXXXXXXX}},
where the suffix
is the hexadecimal representation of the virtual address of the corresponding
task control block. If the variable is an array of tasks, the image of each
task will have the form of an indexed component indicating the position of a
given task in the array, e.g.@: @code{Group(5)_@var{XXXXXXX}}. If the task is a
component of a record, the image of the task will have the form of a selected
component. These rules are fully recursive, so that the image of a task that
is a subcomponent of a composite object corresponds to the expression that
designates this task.
@noindent
If a task is created by an allocator, its image depends on the context. If the
allocator is part of an object declaration, the rules described above are used
to construct its image, and this image is not affected by subsequent
assignments. If the allocator appears within an expression, the image
includes only the name of the task type.
@noindent
If the configuration pragma Discard_Names is present, or if the restriction
No_Implicit_Heap_Allocation is in effect,  the image reduces to
the numeric suffix, that is to say the hexadecimal representation of the
virtual address of the control block of the task.

GNAT allows a user application program to write the declaration:

@smallexample @c ada
   pragma Import (Intrinsic, name);
@end smallexample

@noindent
providing that the name corresponds to one of the implemented intrinsic
subprograms in GNAT, and that the parameter profile of the referenced
subprogram meets the requirements.  This chapter describes the set of
implemented intrinsic subprograms, and the requirements on parameter profiles.
Note that no body is supplied; as with other uses of pragma Import, the
body is supplied elsewhere (in this case by the compiler itself).  Note
that any use of this feature is potentially non-portable, since the
Ada standard does not require Ada compilers to implement this feature.

@node Intrinsic Operators
@section Intrinsic Operators
@cindex Intrinsic operator

@noindent
All the predefined numeric operators in package Standard
in @code{pragma Import (Intrinsic,..)}
declarations.  In the binary operator case, the operands must have the same
size.  The operand or operands must also be appropriate for
the operator.  For example, for addition, the operands must
both be floating-point or both be fixed-point, and the
right operand for @code{"**"} must have a root type of
@code{Standard.Integer'Base}.
You can use an intrinsic operator declaration as in the following example:

@smallexample @c ada
   type Int1 is new Integer;
   type Int2 is new Integer;

   function "+" (X1 : Int1; X2 : Int2) return Int1;
   function "+" (X1 : Int1; X2 : Int2) return Int2;
   pragma Import (Intrinsic, "+");
@end smallexample

@noindent
This declaration would permit ``mixed mode'' arithmetic on items
of the differing types @code{Int1} and @code{Int2}.
It is also possible to specify such operators for private types, if the
full views are appropriate arithmetic types.

@node Rotate_Left
@section Rotate_Left
@cindex Rotate_Left
@noindent
In standard Ada, the @code{Rotate_Left} function is available only
for the predefined modular types in package @code{Interfaces}.  However, in
GNAT it is possible to define a Rotate_Left function for a user
defined modular type or any signed integer type as in this example:

@smallexample @c ada
   function Shift_Left
     (Value  : My_Modular_Type;
      Amount : Natural)
      return   My_Modular_Type;
@end smallexample

@noindent
The requirements are that the profile be exactly as in the example
above.  The only modifications allowed are in the formal parameter
names, and in the type of @code{Value} and the return type, which
must be the same, and must be either a signed integer type, or
a modular integer type with a binary modulus, and the size must
be 8.  16, 32 or 64 bits.

@cindex Representation Clause
@cindex Representation Pragma
@cindex Pragma, representation
This section describes the representation clauses accepted by GNAT, and
their effect on the representation of corresponding data objects.

GNAT fully implements Annex C (Systems Programming).  This means that all
the implementation advice sections in chapter 13 are fully implemented.
However, these sections only require a minimal level of support for
representation clauses.  GNAT provides much more extensive capabilities,
and this section describes the additional capabilities provided.

@node Alignment Clauses
@section Alignment Clauses
@cindex Alignment Clause

@noindent
GNAT requires that all alignment clauses specify a power of 2, and all
default alignments are always a power of 2.  The default alignment
values are as follows:

@itemize @bullet
@item @emph{Primitive Types}.
For primitive types, the alignment is the minimum of the actual size of
objects of the type divided by @code{Storage_Unit},
and the maximum alignment supported by the target.
(This maximum alignment is given by the GNAT-specific attribute
@code{Standard'Maximum_Alignment}; see @ref{Maximum_Alignment}.)
@cindex @code{Maximum_Alignment} attribute
For example, for type @code{Long_Float}, the object size is 8 bytes, and the
default alignment will be 8 on any target that supports alignments
this large, but on some targets, the maximum alignment may be smaller
than 8, in which case objects of type @code{Long_Float} will be maximally
aligned.

@item @emph{Arrays}.
For arrays, the alignment is equal to the alignment of the component type
for the normal case where no packing or component size is given.  If the
array is packed, and the packing is effective (see separate section on
packed arrays), then the alignment will be one for long packed arrays,
or arrays whose length is not known at compile time.  For short packed
arrays, which are handled internally as modular types, the alignment
will be as described for primitive types, e.g.@: a packed array of length
31 bits will have an object size of four bytes, and an alignment of 4.

@item @emph{Records}.
For the normal non-packed case, the alignment of a record is equal to
the maximum alignment of any of its components.  For tagged records, this
includes the implicit access type used for the tag.  If a pragma @code{Pack}
is used and all components are packable (see separate section on pragma
@code{Pack}), then the resulting alignment is 1, unless the layout of the
record makes it profitable to increase it.

A special case is when:
@itemize @bullet
@item
the size of the record is given explicitly, or a
full record representation clause is given, and
@item
the size of the record is 2, 4, or 8 bytes.
@end itemize
@noindent
In this case, an alignment is chosen to match the
size of the record. For example, if we have:

@smallexample @c ada
   type Small is record
      A, B : Character;
   end record;
   for Small'Size use 16;
@end smallexample

@noindent
then the default alignment of the record type @code{Small} is 2, not 1. This
leads to more efficient code when the record is treated as a unit, and also
allows the type to specified as @code{Atomic} on architectures requiring
strict alignment.

@end itemize

@noindent
An alignment clause may specify a larger alignment than the default value
up to some maximum value dependent on the target (obtainable by using the
attribute reference @code{Standard'Maximum_Alignment}). It may also specify
a smaller alignment than the default value for enumeration, integer and
fixed point types, as well as for record types, for example

@smallexample @c ada
  type V is record
     A : Integer;
  end record;

  for V'alignment use 1;
@end smallexample

@noindent
@cindex Alignment, default
The default alignment for the type @code{V} is 4, as a result of the
Integer field in the record, but it is permissible, as shown, to
override the default alignment of the record with a smaller value.

@node Size Clauses
@section Size Clauses
@cindex Size Clause

@noindent
The default size for a type @code{T} is obtainable through the
language-defined attribute @code{T'Size} and also through the
equivalent GNAT-defined attribute @code{T'Value_Size}.
For objects of type @code{T}, GNAT will generally increase the type size
so that the object size (obtainable through the GNAT-defined attribute
@code{T'Object_Size})
is a multiple of @code{T'Alignment * Storage_Unit}.
For example

@smallexample @c ada
   type Smallint is range 1 .. 6;

   type Rec is record
      Y1 : integer;
      Y2 : boolean;
   end record;
@end smallexample

@noindent
In this example, @code{Smallint'Size} = @code{Smallint'Value_Size} = 3,
as specified by the RM rules,
but objects of this type will have a size of 8
(@code{Smallint'Object_Size} = 8),
since objects by default occupy an integral number
of storage units.  On some targets, notably older
versions of the Digital Alpha, the size of stand
alone objects of this type may be 32, reflecting
the inability of the hardware to do byte load/stores.

Similarly, the size of type @code{Rec} is 40 bits
(@code{Rec'Size} = @code{Rec'Value_Size} = 40), but
the alignment is 4, so objects of this type will have
their size increased to 64 bits so that it is a multiple
of the alignment (in bits).  This decision is
in accordance with the specific Implementation Advice in RM 13.3(43):

@quotation
A @code{Size} clause should be supported for an object if the specified
@code{Size} is at least as large as its subtype's @code{Size}, and corresponds
to a size in storage elements that is a multiple of the object's
@code{Alignment} (if the @code{Alignment} is nonzero).
@end quotation

@noindent
An explicit size clause may be used to override the default size by
increasing it.  For example, if we have:

@smallexample @c ada
   type My_Boolean is new Boolean;
   for My_Boolean'Size use 32;
@end smallexample

@noindent
then values of this type will always be 32 bits long.  In the case of
discrete types, the size can be increased up to 64 bits, with the effect
that the entire specified field is used to hold the value, sign- or
zero-extended as appropriate.  If more than 64 bits is specified, then
padding space is allocated after the value, and a warning is issued that
there are unused bits.

Similarly the size of records and arrays may be increased, and the effect
is to add padding bits after the value.  This also causes a warning message
to be generated.

The largest Size value permitted in GNAT is 2**31@minus{}1.  Since this is a
Size in bits, this corresponds to an object of size 256 megabytes (minus
one).  This limitation is true on all targets.  The reason for this
limitation is that it improves the quality of the code in many cases
if it is known that a Size value can be accommodated in an object of
type Integer.

@node Storage_Size Clauses
@section Storage_Size Clauses
@cindex Storage_Size Clause

@noindent
For tasks, the @code{Storage_Size} clause specifies the amount of space
to be allocated for the task stack.  This cannot be extended, and if the
stack is exhausted, then @code{Storage_Error} will be raised (if stack
checking is enabled).  Use a @code{Storage_Size} attribute definition clause,
or a @code{Storage_Size} pragma in the task definition to set the
appropriate required size.  A useful technique is to include in every
task definition a pragma of the form:

@smallexample @c ada
   pragma Storage_Size (Default_Stack_Size);
@end smallexample

@noindent
Then @code{Default_Stack_Size} can be defined in a global package, and
modified as required. Any tasks requiring stack sizes different from the
default can have an appropriate alternative reference in the pragma.

You can also use the @option{-d} binder switch to modify the default stack
size.

For access types, the @code{Storage_Size} clause specifies the maximum
space available for allocation of objects of the type.  If this space is
exceeded then @code{Storage_Error} will be raised by an allocation attempt.
In the case where the access type is declared local to a subprogram, the
use of a @code{Storage_Size} clause triggers automatic use of a special
predefined storage pool (@code{System.Pool_Size}) that ensures that all
space for the pool is automatically reclaimed on exit from the scope in
which the type is declared.

A special case recognized by the compiler is the specification of a
@code{Storage_Size} of zero for an access type.  This means that no
items can be allocated from the pool, and this is recognized at compile
time, and all the overhead normally associated with maintaining a fixed
size storage pool is eliminated.  Consider the following example:

@smallexample @c ada
   procedure p is
      type R is array (Natural) of Character;
      type P is access all R;
      for P'Storage_Size use 0;
      --  Above access type intended only for interfacing purposes

      y : P;

      procedure g (m : P);
      pragma Import (C, g);

      --  @dots{}

   begin
      --  @dots{}
      y := new R;
   end;
@end smallexample

@noindent
As indicated in this example, these dummy storage pools are often useful in
connection with interfacing where no object will ever be allocated.  If you
compile the above example, you get the warning:

@smallexample
   p.adb:16:09: warning: allocation from empty storage pool
   p.adb:16:09: warning: Storage_Error will be raised at run time
@end smallexample

@noindent
Of course in practice, there will not be any explicit allocators in the
case of such an access declaration.

In the case of variant record objects, there is a question whether Size gives
information about a particular variant, or the maximum size required
for any variant.  Consider the following program

@smallexample @c ada
with Text_IO; use Text_IO;
procedure q is
   type R1 (A : Boolean := False) is record
     case A is
       when True  => X : Character;
       when False => null;
     end case;
   end record;

   V1 : R1 (False);
   V2 : R1;

begin
   Put_Line (Integer'Image (V1'Size));
   Put_Line (Integer'Image (V2'Size));
end q;
@end smallexample

@noindent
Here we are dealing with a variant record, where the True variant
requires 16 bits, and the False variant requires 8 bits.
In the above example, both V1 and V2 contain the False variant,
which is only 8 bits long.  However, the result of running the
program is:

@smallexample
8
16
@end smallexample

@noindent
The reason for the difference here is that the discriminant value of
V1 is fixed, and will always be False.  It is not possible to assign
a True variant value to V1, therefore 8 bits is sufficient.  On the
other hand, in the case of V2, the initial discriminant value is
False (from the default), but it is possible to assign a True
variant value to V2, therefore 16 bits must be allocated for V2
in the general case, even fewer bits may be needed at any particular
point during the program execution.

As can be seen from the output of this program, the @code{'Size}
attribute applied to such an object in GNAT gives the actual allocated
size of the variable, which is the largest size of any of the variants.
The Ada Reference Manual is not completely clear on what choice should
be made here, but the GNAT behavior seems most consistent with the
language in the RM@.

In some cases, it may be desirable to obtain the size of the current
variant, rather than the size of the largest variant.  This can be
achieved in GNAT by making use of the fact that in the case of a
subprogram parameter, GNAT does indeed return the size of the current
variant (because a subprogram has no way of knowing how much space
is actually allocated for the actual).

Consider the following modified version of the above program:

@smallexample @c ada
with Text_IO; use Text_IO;
procedure q is
   type R1 (A : Boolean := False) is record
     case A is
       when True  => X : Character;
       when False => null;
     end case;
   end record;

   V2 : R1;

   function Size (V : R1) return Integer is
   begin
      return V'Size;
   end Size;

begin
   Put_Line (Integer'Image (V2'Size));
   Put_Line (Integer'IMage (Size (V2)));
   V2 := (True, 'x');
   Put_Line (Integer'Image (V2'Size));
   Put_Line (Integer'IMage (Size (V2)));
end q;
@end smallexample

@noindent
The output from this program is

@smallexample
16
8
16
16
@end smallexample

@noindent
Here we see that while the @code{'Size} attribute always returns
the maximum size, regardless of the current variant value, the
@code{Size} function does indeed return the size of the current
variant value.

@node Biased Representation
@section Biased Representation
@cindex Size for biased representation
@cindex Biased representation

@noindent
In the case of scalars with a range starting at other than zero, it is
possible in some cases to specify a size smaller than the default minimum
value, and in such cases, GNAT uses an unsigned biased representation,
in which zero is used to represent the lower bound, and successive values
represent successive values of the type.

For example, suppose we have the declaration:

@smallexample @c ada
   type Small is range -7 .. -4;
   for Small'Size use 2;
@end smallexample

@noindent
Although the default size of type @code{Small} is 4, the @code{Size}
clause is accepted by GNAT and results in the following representation
scheme:

@smallexample
  -7 is represented as 2#00#
  -6 is represented as 2#01#
  -5 is represented as 2#10#
  -4 is represented as 2#11#
@end smallexample

@noindent
Biased representation is only used if the specified @code{Size} clause
cannot be accepted in any other manner.  These reduced sizes that force
biased representation can be used for all discrete types except for
enumeration types for which a representation clause is given.

@node Value_Size and Object_Size Clauses
@section Value_Size and Object_Size Clauses
@findex Value_Size
@findex Object_Size
@cindex Size, of objects

@noindent
In Ada 95 and Ada 2005, @code{T'Size} for a type @code{T} is the minimum
number of bits required to hold values of type @code{T}.
Although this interpretation was allowed in Ada 83, it was not required,
and this requirement in practice can cause some significant difficulties.
For example, in most Ada 83 compilers, @code{Natural'Size} was 32.
However, in Ada 95 and Ada 2005,
@code{Natural'Size} is
typically 31.  This means that code may change in behavior when moving
from Ada 83 to Ada 95 or Ada 2005.  For example, consider:

@smallexample @c ada
   type Rec is record;
      A : Natural;
      B : Natural;
   end record;

   for Rec use record
      at 0  range 0 .. Natural'Size - 1;
      at 0  range Natural'Size .. 2 * Natural'Size - 1;
   end record;
@end smallexample

@noindent
In the above code, since the typical size of @code{Natural} objects
is 32 bits and @code{Natural'Size} is 31, the above code can cause
unexpected inefficient packing in Ada 95 and Ada 2005, and in general
there are cases where the fact that the object size can exceed the
size of the type causes surprises.

To help get around this problem GNAT provides two implementation
defined attributes, @code{Value_Size} and @code{Object_Size}.  When
applied to a type, these attributes yield the size of the type
(corresponding to the RM defined size attribute), and the size of
objects of the type respectively.

The @code{Object_Size} is used for determining the default size of
objects and components.  This size value can be referred to using the
@code{Object_Size} attribute.  The phrase ``is used'' here means that it is
the basis of the determination of the size.  The backend is free to
pad this up if necessary for efficiency, e.g.@: an 8-bit stand-alone
character might be stored in 32 bits on a machine with no efficient
byte access instructions such as the Alpha.

The default rules for the value of @code{Object_Size} for
discrete types are as follows:

@itemize @bullet
@item
The @code{Object_Size} for base subtypes reflect the natural hardware
size in bits (run the compiler with @option{-gnatS} to find those values
for numeric types). Enumeration types and fixed-point base subtypes have
8, 16, 32 or 64 bits for this size, depending on the range of values
to be stored.

@item
The @code{Object_Size} of a subtype is the same as the
@code{Object_Size} of
the type from which it is obtained.

@item
The @code{Object_Size} of a derived base type is copied from the parent
base type, and the @code{Object_Size} of a derived first subtype is copied
from the parent first subtype.
@end itemize

@noindent
The @code{Value_Size} attribute
is the (minimum) number of bits required to store a value
of the type.
This value is used to determine how tightly to pack
records or arrays with components of this type, and also affects
the semantics of unchecked conversion (unchecked conversions where
the @code{Value_Size} values differ generate a warning, and are potentially
target dependent).

The default rules for the value of @code{Value_Size} are as follows:

@itemize @bullet
@item
The @code{Value_Size} for a base subtype is the minimum number of bits
required to store all values of the type (including the sign bit
only if negative values are possible).

@item
If a subtype statically matches the first subtype of a given type, then it has
by default the same @code{Value_Size} as the first subtype.  This is a
consequence of RM 13.1(14) (``if two subtypes statically match,
then their subtype-specific aspects are the same''.)

@item
All other subtypes have a @code{Value_Size} corresponding to the minimum
number of bits required to store all values of the subtype.  For
dynamic bounds, it is assumed that the value can range down or up
to the corresponding bound of the ancestor
@end itemize

@noindent
The RM defined attribute @code{Size} corresponds to the
@code{Value_Size} attribute.

The @code{Size} attribute may be defined for a first-named subtype.  This sets
the @code{Value_Size} of
the first-named subtype to the given value, and the
@code{Object_Size} of this first-named subtype to the given value padded up
to an appropriate boundary.  It is a consequence of the default rules
above that this @code{Object_Size} will apply to all further subtypes.  On the
other hand, @code{Value_Size} is affected only for the first subtype, any
dynamic subtypes obtained from it directly, and any statically matching
subtypes.  The @code{Value_Size} of any other static subtypes is not affected.

@code{Value_Size} and
@code{Object_Size} may be explicitly set for any subtype using
an attribute definition clause.  Note that the use of these attributes
can cause the RM 13.1(14) rule to be violated.  If two access types
reference aliased objects whose subtypes have differing @code{Object_Size}
values as a result of explicit attribute definition clauses, then it
is erroneous to convert from one access subtype to the other.

At the implementation level, Esize stores the Object_Size and the
RM_Size field stores the @code{Value_Size} (and hence the value of the
@code{Size} attribute,
which, as noted above, is equivalent to @code{Value_Size}).

To get a feel for the difference, consider the following examples (note
that in each case the base is @code{Short_Short_Integer} with a size of 8):

@smallexample
                                       Object_Size     Value_Size

type x1 is range 0 .. 5;                    8               3

type x2 is range 0 .. 5;
for x2'size use 12;                        16              12

subtype x3 is x2 range 0 .. 3;             16               2

subtype x4 is x2'base range 0 .. 10;        8               4

subtype x5 is x2 range 0 .. dynamic;       16               3*

subtype x6 is x2'base range 0 .. dynamic;   8               3*

@end smallexample

@noindent
Note: the entries marked ``3*'' are not actually specified by the Ada
Reference Manual, but it seems in the spirit of the RM rules to allocate
the minimum number of bits (here 3, given the range for @code{x2})
known to be large enough to hold the given range of values.

So far, so good, but GNAT has to obey the RM rules, so the question is
under what conditions must the RM @code{Size} be used.
The following is a list
of the occasions on which the RM @code{Size} must be used:

@itemize @bullet
@item
Component size for packed arrays or records

@item
Value of the attribute @code{Size} for a type

@item
Warning about sizes not matching for unchecked conversion
@end itemize

@noindent
For record types, the @code{Object_Size} is always a multiple of the
alignment of the type (this is true for all types). In some cases the
@code{Value_Size} can be smaller. Consider:

@smallexample
   type R is record
     X : Integer;
     Y : Character;
   end record;
@end smallexample

@noindent
On a typical 32-bit architecture, the X component will be four bytes, and
require four-byte alignment, and the Y component will be one byte. In this
case @code{R'Value_Size} will be 40 (bits) since this is the minimum size
required to store a value of this type, and for example, it is permissible
to have a component of type R in an outer array whose component size is
specified to be 48 bits. However, @code{R'Object_Size} will be 64 (bits),
since it must be rounded up so that this value is a multiple of the
alignment (4 bytes = 32 bits).

@noindent
For all other types, the @code{Object_Size}
and Value_Size are the same (and equivalent to the RM attribute @code{Size}).
Only @code{Size} may be specified for such types.

@node Component_Size Clauses
@section Component_Size Clauses
@cindex Component_Size Clause

@noindent
Normally, the value specified in a component size clause must be consistent
with the subtype of the array component with regard to size and alignment.
In other words, the value specified must be at least equal to the size
of this subtype, and must be a multiple of the alignment value.

In addition, component size clauses are allowed which cause the array
to be packed, by specifying a smaller value.  A first case is for
component size values in the range 1 through 63.  The value specified
must not be smaller than the Size of the subtype.  GNAT will accurately
honor all packing requests in this range.  For example, if we have:

@smallexample @c ada
type r is array (1 .. 8) of Natural;
for r'Component_Size use 31;
@end smallexample

@noindent
then the resulting array has a length of 31 bytes (248 bits = 8 * 31).
Of course access to the components of such an array is considerably
less efficient than if the natural component size of 32 is used.
A second case is when the subtype of the component is a record type
padded because of its default alignment.  For example, if we have:

@smallexample @c ada
type r is record
  i : Integer;
  j : Integer;
  b : Boolean;
end record;

type a is array (1 .. 8) of r;
for a'Component_Size use 72;
@end smallexample

@noindent
then the resulting array has a length of 72 bytes, instead of 96 bytes
if the alignment of the record (4) was obeyed.

Note that there is no point in giving both a component size clause
and a pragma Pack for the same array type. if such duplicate
clauses are given, the pragma Pack will be ignored.

@node Bit_Order Clauses
@section Bit_Order Clauses
@cindex Bit_Order Clause
@cindex bit ordering
@cindex ordering, of bits

@noindent
For record subtypes, GNAT permits the specification of the @code{Bit_Order}
attribute.  The specification may either correspond to the default bit
order for the target, in which case the specification has no effect and
places no additional restrictions, or it may be for the non-standard
setting (that is the opposite of the default).

In the case where the non-standard value is specified, the effect is
to renumber bits within each byte, but the ordering of bytes is not
affected.  There are certain
restrictions placed on component clauses as follows:

@itemize @bullet

@item Components fitting within a single storage unit.
@noindent
These are unrestricted, and the effect is merely to renumber bits.  For
example if we are on a little-endian machine with @code{Low_Order_First}
being the default, then the following two declarations have exactly
the same effect:

@smallexample @c ada
   type R1 is record
      A : Boolean;
      B : Integer range 1 .. 120;
   end record;

   for R1 use record
      A at 0 range 0 .. 0;
      B at 0 range 1 .. 7;
   end record;

   type R2 is record
      A : Boolean;
      B : Integer range 1 .. 120;
   end record;

   for R2'Bit_Order use High_Order_First;

   for R2 use record
      A at 0 range 7 .. 7;
      B at 0 range 0 .. 6;
   end record;
@end smallexample

@noindent
The useful application here is to write the second declaration with the
@code{Bit_Order} attribute definition clause, and know that it will be treated
the same, regardless of whether the target is little-endian or big-endian.

@item Components occupying an integral number of bytes.
@noindent
These are components that exactly fit in two or more bytes.  Such component
declarations are allowed, but have no effect, since it is important to realize
that the @code{Bit_Order} specification does not affect the ordering of bytes.
In particular, the following attempt at getting an endian-independent integer
does not work:

@smallexample @c ada
   type R2 is record
      A : Integer;
   end record;

   for R2'Bit_Order use High_Order_First;

   for R2 use record
      A at 0 range 0 .. 31;
   end record;
@end smallexample

@noindent
This declaration will result in a little-endian integer on a
little-endian machine, and a big-endian integer on a big-endian machine.
If byte flipping is required for interoperability between big- and
little-endian machines, this must be explicitly programmed.  This capability
is not provided by @code{Bit_Order}.

@item Components that are positioned across byte boundaries
@noindent
but do not occupy an integral number of bytes.  Given that bytes are not
reordered, such fields would occupy a non-contiguous sequence of bits
in memory, requiring non-trivial code to reassemble.  They are for this
reason not permitted, and any component clause specifying such a layout
will be flagged as illegal by GNAT@.

@end itemize

@noindent
Since the misconception that Bit_Order automatically deals with all
endian-related incompatibilities is a common one, the specification of
a component field that is an integral number of bytes will always
generate a warning.  This warning may be suppressed using @code{pragma
Warnings (Off)} if desired.  The following section contains additional
details regarding the issue of byte ordering.

@node Effect of Bit_Order on Byte Ordering
@section Effect of Bit_Order on Byte Ordering
@cindex byte ordering
@cindex ordering, of bytes

@noindent
In this section we will review the effect of the @code{Bit_Order} attribute
definition clause on byte ordering.  Briefly, it has no effect at all, but
a detailed example will be helpful.  Before giving this
example, let us review the precise
definition of the effect of defining @code{Bit_Order}.  The effect of a
non-standard bit order is described in section 15.5.3 of the Ada
Reference Manual:

@quotation
2   A bit ordering is a method of interpreting the meaning of
the storage place attributes.
@end quotation

@noindent
To understand the precise definition of storage place attributes in
this context, we visit section 13.5.1 of the manual:

@quotation
13   A record_representation_clause (without the mod_clause)
specifies the layout.  The storage place attributes (see 13.5.2)
are taken from the values of the position, first_bit, and last_bit
expressions after normalizing those values so that first_bit is
less than Storage_Unit.
@end quotation

@noindent
The critical point here is that storage places are taken from
the values after normalization, not before.  So the @code{Bit_Order}
interpretation applies to normalized values.  The interpretation
is described in the later part of the 15.5.3 paragraph:

@quotation
2   A bit ordering is a method of interpreting the meaning of
the storage place attributes.  High_Order_First (known in the
vernacular as ``big endian'') means that the first bit of a
storage element (bit 0) is the most significant bit (interpreting
the sequence of bits that represent a component as an unsigned
integer value).  Low_Order_First (known in the vernacular as
``little endian'') means the opposite: the first bit is the
least significant.
@end quotation

@noindent
Note that the numbering is with respect to the bits of a storage
unit.  In other words, the specification affects only the numbering
of bits within a single storage unit.

We can make the effect clearer by giving an example.

Suppose that we have an external device which presents two bytes, the first
byte presented, which is the first (low addressed byte) of the two byte
record is called Master, and the second byte is called Slave.

The left most (most significant bit is called Control for each byte, and
the remaining 7 bits are called V1, V2, @dots{} V7, where V7 is the rightmost
(least significant) bit.

On a big-endian machine, we can write the following representation clause

@smallexample @c ada
   type Data is record
      Master_Control : Bit;
      Master_V1      : Bit;
      Master_V2      : Bit;
      Master_V3      : Bit;
      Master_V4      : Bit;
      Master_V5      : Bit;
      Master_V6      : Bit;
      Master_V7      : Bit;
      Slave_Control  : Bit;
      Slave_V1       : Bit;
      Slave_V2       : Bit;
      Slave_V3       : Bit;
      Slave_V4       : Bit;
      Slave_V5       : Bit;
      Slave_V6       : Bit;
      Slave_V7       : Bit;
   end record;

   for Data use record
      Master_Control at 0 range 0 .. 0;
      Master_V1      at 0 range 1 .. 1;
      Master_V2      at 0 range 2 .. 2;
      Master_V3      at 0 range 3 .. 3;
      Master_V4      at 0 range 4 .. 4;
      Master_V5      at 0 range 5 .. 5;
      Master_V6      at 0 range 6 .. 6;
      Master_V7      at 0 range 7 .. 7;
      Slave_Control  at 1 range 0 .. 0;
      Slave_V1       at 1 range 1 .. 1;
      Slave_V2       at 1 range 2 .. 2;
      Slave_V3       at 1 range 3 .. 3;
      Slave_V4       at 1 range 4 .. 4;
      Slave_V5       at 1 range 5 .. 5;
      Slave_V6       at 1 range 6 .. 6;
      Slave_V7       at 1 range 7 .. 7;
   end record;
@end smallexample

@noindent
Now if we move this to a little endian machine, then the bit ordering within
the byte is backwards, so we have to rewrite the record rep clause as:

@smallexample @c ada
   for Data use record
      Master_Control at 0 range 7 .. 7;
      Master_V1      at 0 range 6 .. 6;
      Master_V2      at 0 range 5 .. 5;
      Master_V3      at 0 range 4 .. 4;
      Master_V4      at 0 range 3 .. 3;
      Master_V5      at 0 range 2 .. 2;
      Master_V6      at 0 range 1 .. 1;
      Master_V7      at 0 range 0 .. 0;
      Slave_Control  at 1 range 7 .. 7;
      Slave_V1       at 1 range 6 .. 6;
      Slave_V2       at 1 range 5 .. 5;
      Slave_V3       at 1 range 4 .. 4;
      Slave_V4       at 1 range 3 .. 3;
      Slave_V5       at 1 range 2 .. 2;
      Slave_V6       at 1 range 1 .. 1;
      Slave_V7       at 1 range 0 .. 0;
   end record;
@end smallexample

@noindent
It is a nuisance to have to rewrite the clause, especially if
the code has to be maintained on both machines.  However,
this is a case that we can handle with the
@code{Bit_Order} attribute if it is implemented.
Note that the implementation is not required on byte addressed
machines, but it is indeed implemented in GNAT.
This means that we can simply use the
first record clause, together with the declaration

@smallexample @c ada
   for Data'Bit_Order use High_Order_First;
@end smallexample

@noindent
and the effect is what is desired, namely the layout is exactly the same,
independent of whether the code is compiled on a big-endian or little-endian
machine.

The important point to understand is that byte ordering is not affected.
A @code{Bit_Order} attribute definition never affects which byte a field
ends up in, only where it ends up in that byte.
To make this clear, let us rewrite the record rep clause of the previous
example as:

@smallexample @c ada
   for Data'Bit_Order use High_Order_First;
   for Data use record
      Master_Control at 0 range  0 .. 0;
      Master_V1      at 0 range  1 .. 1;
      Master_V2      at 0 range  2 .. 2;
      Master_V3      at 0 range  3 .. 3;
      Master_V4      at 0 range  4 .. 4;
      Master_V5      at 0 range  5 .. 5;
      Master_V6      at 0 range  6 .. 6;
      Master_V7      at 0 range  7 .. 7;
      Slave_Control  at 0 range  8 .. 8;
      Slave_V1       at 0 range  9 .. 9;
      Slave_V2       at 0 range 10 .. 10;
      Slave_V3       at 0 range 11 .. 11;
      Slave_V4       at 0 range 12 .. 12;
      Slave_V5       at 0 range 13 .. 13;
      Slave_V6       at 0 range 14 .. 14;
      Slave_V7       at 0 range 15 .. 15;
   end record;
@end smallexample

@noindent
This is exactly equivalent to saying (a repeat of the first example):

@smallexample @c ada
   for Data'Bit_Order use High_Order_First;
   for Data use record
      Master_Control at 0 range 0 .. 0;
      Master_V1      at 0 range 1 .. 1;
      Master_V2      at 0 range 2 .. 2;
      Master_V3      at 0 range 3 .. 3;
      Master_V4      at 0 range 4 .. 4;
      Master_V5      at 0 range 5 .. 5;
      Master_V6      at 0 range 6 .. 6;
      Master_V7      at 0 range 7 .. 7;
      Slave_Control  at 1 range 0 .. 0;
      Slave_V1       at 1 range 1 .. 1;
      Slave_V2       at 1 range 2 .. 2;
      Slave_V3       at 1 range 3 .. 3;
      Slave_V4       at 1 range 4 .. 4;
      Slave_V5       at 1 range 5 .. 5;
      Slave_V6       at 1 range 6 .. 6;
      Slave_V7       at 1 range 7 .. 7;
   end record;
@end smallexample

@noindent
Why are they equivalent? Well take a specific field, the @code{Slave_V2}
field.  The storage place attributes are obtained by normalizing the
values given so that the @code{First_Bit} value is less than 8.  After
normalizing the values (0,10,10) we get (1,2,2) which is exactly what
we specified in the other case.

Now one might expect that the @code{Bit_Order} attribute might affect
bit numbering within the entire record component (two bytes in this
case, thus affecting which byte fields end up in), but that is not
the way this feature is defined, it only affects numbering of bits,
not which byte they end up in.

Consequently it never makes sense to specify a starting bit number
greater than 7 (for a byte addressable field) if an attribute
definition for @code{Bit_Order} has been given, and indeed it
may be actively confusing to specify such a value, so the compiler
generates a warning for such usage.

If you do need to control byte ordering then appropriate conditional
values must be used.  If in our example, the slave byte came first on
some machines we might write:

@smallexample @c ada
   Master_Byte_First constant Boolean := @dots{};

   Master_Byte : constant Natural :=
                   1 - Boolean'Pos (Master_Byte_First);
   Slave_Byte  : constant Natural :=
                   Boolean'Pos (Master_Byte_First);

   for Data'Bit_Order use High_Order_First;
   for Data use record
      Master_Control at Master_Byte range 0 .. 0;
      Master_V1      at Master_Byte range 1 .. 1;
      Master_V2      at Master_Byte range 2 .. 2;
      Master_V3      at Master_Byte range 3 .. 3;
      Master_V4      at Master_Byte range 4 .. 4;
      Master_V5      at Master_Byte range 5 .. 5;
      Master_V6      at Master_Byte range 6 .. 6;
      Master_V7      at Master_Byte range 7 .. 7;
      Slave_Control  at Slave_Byte  range 0 .. 0;
      Slave_V1       at Slave_Byte  range 1 .. 1;
      Slave_V2       at Slave_Byte  range 2 .. 2;
      Slave_V3       at Slave_Byte  range 3 .. 3;
      Slave_V4       at Slave_Byte  range 4 .. 4;
      Slave_V5       at Slave_Byte  range 5 .. 5;
      Slave_V6       at Slave_Byte  range 6 .. 6;
      Slave_V7       at Slave_Byte  range 7 .. 7;
   end record;
@end smallexample

@noindent
Now to switch between machines, all that is necessary is
to set the boolean constant @code{Master_Byte_First} in
an appropriate manner.

@node Pragma Pack for Arrays
@section Pragma Pack for Arrays
@cindex Pragma Pack (for arrays)

@noindent
Pragma @code{Pack} applied to an array has no effect unless the component type
is packable.  For a component type to be packable, it must be one of the
following cases:

@itemize @bullet
@item
Any scalar type
@item
Any type whose size is specified with a size clause
@item
Any packed array type with a static size
@item
Any record type padded because of its default alignment
@end itemize

@noindent
For all these cases, if the component subtype size is in the range
1 through 63, then the effect of the pragma @code{Pack} is exactly as though a
component size were specified giving the component subtype size.
For example if we have:

@smallexample @c ada
   type r is range 0 .. 17;

   type ar is array (1 .. 8) of r;
   pragma Pack (ar);
@end smallexample

@noindent
Then the component size of @code{ar} will be set to 5 (i.e.@: to @code{r'size},
and the size of the array @code{ar} will be exactly 40 bits.

Note that in some cases this rather fierce approach to packing can produce
unexpected effects.  For example, in Ada 95 and Ada 2005,
subtype @code{Natural} typically has a size of 31, meaning that if you
pack an array of @code{Natural}, you get 31-bit
close packing, which saves a few bits, but results in far less efficient
access.  Since many other Ada compilers will ignore such a packing request,
GNAT will generate a warning on some uses of pragma @code{Pack} that it guesses
might not be what is intended.  You can easily remove this warning by
using an explicit @code{Component_Size} setting instead, which never generates
a warning, since the intention of the programmer is clear in this case.

GNAT treats packed arrays in one of two ways.  If the size of the array is
known at compile time and is less than 64 bits, then internally the array
is represented as a single modular type, of exactly the appropriate number
of bits.  If the length is greater than 63 bits, or is not known at compile
time, then the packed array is represented as an array of bytes, and the
length is always a multiple of 8 bits.

Note that to represent a packed array as a modular type, the alignment must
be suitable for the modular type involved. For example, on typical machines
a 32-bit packed array will be represented by a 32-bit modular integer with
an alignment of four bytes. If you explicitly override the default alignment
with an alignment clause that is too small, the modular representation
cannot be used. For example, consider the following set of declarations:

@smallexample @c ada
   type R is range 1 .. 3;
   type S is array (1 .. 31) of R;
   for S'Component_Size use 2;
   for S'Size use 62;
   for S'Alignment use 1;
@end smallexample

@noindent
If the alignment clause were not present, then a 62-bit modular
representation would be chosen (typically with an alignment of 4 or 8
bytes depending on the target). But the default alignment is overridden
with the explicit alignment clause. This means that the modular
representation cannot be used, and instead the array of bytes
representation must be used, meaning that the length must be a multiple
of 8. Thus the above set of declarations will result in a diagnostic
rejecting the size clause and noting that the minimum size allowed is 64.

@cindex Pragma Pack (for type Natural)
@cindex Pragma Pack warning

One special case that is worth noting occurs when the base type of the
component size is 8/16/32 and the subtype is one bit less. Notably this
occurs with subtype @code{Natural}. Consider:

@smallexample @c ada
   type Arr is array (1 .. 32) of Natural;
   pragma Pack (Arr);
@end smallexample

@noindent
In all commonly used Ada 83 compilers, this pragma Pack would be ignored,
since typically @code{Natural'Size} is 32 in Ada 83, and in any case most
Ada 83 compilers did not attempt 31 bit packing.

In Ada 95 and Ada 2005, @code{Natural'Size} is required to be 31. Furthermore,
GNAT really does pack 31-bit subtype to 31 bits. This may result in a
substantial unintended performance penalty when porting legacy Ada 83 code.
To help prevent this, GNAT generates a warning in such cases. If you really
want 31 bit packing in a case like this, you can set the component size
explicitly:

@smallexample @c ada
   type Arr is array (1 .. 32) of Natural;
   for Arr'Component_Size use 31;
@end smallexample

@noindent
Here 31-bit packing is achieved as required, and no warning is generated,
since in this case the programmer intention is clear.

@node Pragma Pack for Records
@section Pragma Pack for Records
@cindex Pragma Pack (for records)

@noindent
Pragma @code{Pack} applied to a record will pack the components to reduce
wasted space from alignment gaps and by reducing the amount of space
taken by components.  We distinguish between @emph{packable} components and
@emph{non-packable} components.
Components of the following types are considered packable:
@itemize @bullet
@item
All primitive types are packable.

@item
Small packed arrays, whose size does not exceed 64 bits, and where the
size is statically known at compile time, are represented internally
as modular integers, and so they are also packable.

@end itemize

@noindent
All packable components occupy the exact number of bits corresponding to
their @code{Size} value, and are packed with no padding bits, i.e.@: they
can start on an arbitrary bit boundary.

All other types are non-packable, they occupy an integral number of
storage units, and
are placed at a boundary corresponding to their alignment requirements.

For example, consider the record

@smallexample @c ada
   type Rb1 is array (1 .. 13) of Boolean;
   pragma Pack (rb1);

   type Rb2 is array (1 .. 65) of Boolean;
   pragma Pack (rb2);

   type x2 is record
      l1 : Boolean;
      l2 : Duration;
      l3 : Float;
      l4 : Boolean;
      l5 : Rb1;
      l6 : Rb2;
   end record;
   pragma Pack (x2);
@end smallexample

@noindent
The representation for the record x2 is as follows:

@smallexample @c ada
for x2'Size use 224;
for x2 use record
   l1 at  0 range  0 .. 0;
   l2 at  0 range  1 .. 64;
   l3 at 12 range  0 .. 31;
   l4 at 16 range  0 .. 0;
   l5 at 16 range  1 .. 13;
   l6 at 18 range  0 .. 71;
end record;
@end smallexample

@noindent
Studying this example, we see that the packable fields @code{l1}
and @code{l2} are
of length equal to their sizes, and placed at specific bit boundaries (and
not byte boundaries) to
eliminate padding.  But @code{l3} is of a non-packable float type, so
it is on the next appropriate alignment boundary.

The next two fields are fully packable, so @code{l4} and @code{l5} are
minimally packed with no gaps.  However, type @code{Rb2} is a packed
array that is longer than 64 bits, so it is itself non-packable.  Thus
the @code{l6} field is aligned to the next byte boundary, and takes an
integral number of bytes, i.e.@: 72 bits.

@node Record Representation Clauses
@section Record Representation Clauses
@cindex Record Representation Clause

@noindent
Record representation clauses may be given for all record types, including
types obtained by record extension.  Component clauses are allowed for any
static component.  The restrictions on component clauses depend on the type
of the component.

@cindex Component Clause
For all components of an elementary type, the only restriction on component
clauses is that the size must be at least the 'Size value of the type
(actually the Value_Size).  There are no restrictions due to alignment,
and such components may freely cross storage boundaries.

Packed arrays with a size up to and including 64 bits are represented
internally using a modular type with the appropriate number of bits, and
thus the same lack of restriction applies.  For example, if you declare:

@smallexample @c ada
   type R is array (1 .. 49) of Boolean;
   pragma Pack (R);
   for R'Size use 49;
@end smallexample

@noindent
then a component clause for a component of type R may start on any
specified bit boundary, and may specify a value of 49 bits or greater.

For packed bit arrays that are longer than 64 bits, there are two
cases. If the component size is a power of 2 (1,2,4,8,16,32 bits),
including the important case of single bits or boolean values, then
there are no limitations on placement of such components, and they
may start and end at arbitrary bit boundaries.

If the component size is not a power of 2 (e.g.@: 3 or 5), then
an array of this type longer than 64 bits must always be placed on
on a storage unit (byte) boundary and occupy an integral number
of storage units (bytes). Any component clause that does not
meet this requirement will be rejected.

Any aliased component, or component of an aliased type, must
have its normal alignment and size. A component clause that
does not meet this requirement will be rejected.

The tag field of a tagged type always occupies an address sized field at
the start of the record.  No component clause may attempt to overlay this
tag. When a tagged type appears as a component, the tag field must have
proper alignment

In the case of a record extension T1, of a type T, no component clause applied
to the type T1 can specify a storage location that would overlap the first
T'Size bytes of the record.

For all other component types, including non-bit-packed arrays,
the component can be placed at an arbitrary bit boundary,
so for example, the following is permitted:

@smallexample @c ada
   type R is array (1 .. 10) of Boolean;
   for R'Size use 80;

   type Q is record
      G, H : Boolean;
      L, M : R;
   end record;

   for Q use record
      G at 0 range  0 ..   0;
      H at 0 range  1 ..   1;
      L at 0 range  2 ..  81;
      R at 0 range 82 .. 161;
   end record;
@end smallexample

@noindent
Note: the above rules apply to recent releases of GNAT 5.
In GNAT 3, there are more severe restrictions on larger components.
For non-primitive types, including packed arrays with a size greater than
64 bits, component clauses must respect the alignment requirement of the
type, in particular, always starting on a byte boundary, and the length
must be a multiple of the storage unit.

@node Enumeration Clauses
@section Enumeration Clauses

The only restriction on enumeration clauses is that the range of values
must be representable.  For the signed case, if one or more of the
representation values are negative, all values must be in the range:

@smallexample @c ada
   System.Min_Int .. System.Max_Int
@end smallexample

@noindent
For the unsigned case, where all values are nonnegative, the values must
be in the range:

@smallexample @c ada
   0 .. System.Max_Binary_Modulus;
@end smallexample

@noindent
A @emph{confirming} representation clause is one in which the values range
from 0 in sequence, i.e.@: a clause that confirms the default representation
for an enumeration type.
Such a confirming representation
is permitted by these rules, and is specially recognized by the compiler so
that no extra overhead results from the use of such a clause.

If an array has an index type which is an enumeration type to which an
enumeration clause has been applied, then the array is stored in a compact
manner.  Consider the declarations:

@smallexample @c ada
   type r is (A, B, C);
   for r use (A => 1, B => 5, C => 10);
   type t is array (r) of Character;
@end smallexample

@noindent
The array type t corresponds to a vector with exactly three elements and
has a default size equal to @code{3*Character'Size}.  This ensures efficient
use of space, but means that accesses to elements of the array will incur
the overhead of converting representation values to the corresponding
positional values, (i.e.@: the value delivered by the @code{Pos} attribute).

@node Address Clauses
@section Address Clauses
@cindex Address Clause

The reference manual allows a general restriction on representation clauses,
as found in RM 13.1(22):

@quotation
An implementation need not support representation
items containing nonstatic expressions, except that
an implementation should support a representation item
for a given entity if each nonstatic expression in the
representation item is a name that statically denotes
a constant declared before the entity.
@end quotation

@noindent
In practice this is applicable only to address clauses, since this is the
only case in which a non-static expression is permitted by the syntax.  As
the AARM notes in sections 13.1 (22.a-22.h):

@display
  22.a   Reason: This is to avoid the following sort of thing:

  22.b        X : Integer := F(@dots{});
              Y : Address := G(@dots{});
              for X'Address use Y;

  22.c   In the above, we have to evaluate the
         initialization expression for X before we
         know where to put the result.  This seems
         like an unreasonable implementation burden.

  22.d   The above code should instead be written
         like this:

  22.e        Y : constant Address := G(@dots{});
              X : Integer := F(@dots{});
              for X'Address use Y;

  22.f   This allows the expression ``Y'' to be safely
         evaluated before X is created.

  22.g   The constant could be a formal parameter of mode in.

  22.h   An implementation can support other nonstatic
         expressions if it wants to.  Expressions of type
         Address are hardly ever static, but their value
         might be known at compile time anyway in many
         cases.
@end display

@noindent
GNAT does indeed permit many additional cases of non-static expressions.  In
particular, if the type involved is elementary there are no restrictions
(since in this case, holding a temporary copy of the initialization value,
if one is present, is inexpensive).  In addition, if there is no implicit or
explicit initialization, then there are no restrictions.  GNAT will reject
only the case where all three of these conditions hold:

@itemize @bullet

@item
The type of the item is non-elementary (e.g.@: a record or array).

@item
There is explicit or implicit initialization required for the object.
Note that access values are always implicitly initialized, and also
in GNAT, certain bit-packed arrays (those having a dynamic length or
a length greater than 64) will also be implicitly initialized to zero.

@item
The address value is non-static.  Here GNAT is more permissive than the
RM, and allows the address value to be the address of a previously declared
stand-alone variable, as long as it does not itself have an address clause.

@smallexample @c ada
           Anchor  : Some_Initialized_Type;
           Overlay : Some_Initialized_Type;
           for Overlay'Address use Anchor'Address;
@end smallexample

@noindent
However, the prefix of the address clause cannot be an array component, or
a component of a discriminated record.

@end itemize

@noindent
As noted above in section 22.h, address values are typically non-static.  In
particular the To_Address function, even if applied to a literal value, is
a non-static function call.  To avoid this minor annoyance, GNAT provides
the implementation defined attribute 'To_Address.  The following two
expressions have identical values:

@findex Attribute
@findex To_Address
@smallexample @c ada
   To_Address (16#1234_0000#)
   System'To_Address (16#1234_0000#);
@end smallexample

@noindent
except that the second form is considered to be a static expression, and
thus when used as an address clause value is always permitted.

@noindent
Additionally, GNAT treats as static an address clause that is an
unchecked_conversion of a static integer value.  This simplifies the porting
of legacy code, and provides a portable equivalent to the GNAT attribute
@code{To_Address}.

Another issue with address clauses is the interaction with alignment
requirements.  When an address clause is given for an object, the address
value must be consistent with the alignment of the object (which is usually
the same as the alignment of the type of the object).  If an address clause
is given that specifies an inappropriately aligned address value, then the
program execution is erroneous.

Since this source of erroneous behavior can have unfortunate effects, GNAT
checks (at compile time if possible, generating a warning, or at execution
time with a run-time check) that the alignment is appropriate.  If the
run-time check fails, then @code{Program_Error} is raised.  This run-time
check is suppressed if range checks are suppressed, or if the special GNAT
check Alignment_Check is suppressed, or if
@code{pragma Restrictions (No_Elaboration_Code)} is in effect.

Finally, GNAT does not permit overlaying of objects of controlled types or
composite types containing a controlled component. In most cases, the compiler
can detect an attempt at such overlays and will generate a warning at compile
time and a Program_Error exception at run time.

@findex Export
An address clause cannot be given for an exported object.  More
understandably the real restriction is that objects with an address
clause cannot be exported.  This is because such variables are not
defined by the Ada program, so there is no external object to export.

@findex Import
It is permissible to give an address clause and a pragma Import for the
same object.  In this case, the variable is not really defined by the
Ada program, so there is no external symbol to be linked.  The link name
and the external name are ignored in this case.  The reason that we allow this
combination is that it provides a useful idiom to avoid unwanted
initializations on objects with address clauses.

When an address clause is given for an object that has implicit or
explicit initialization, then by default initialization takes place.  This
means that the effect of the object declaration is to overwrite the
memory at the specified address.  This is almost always not what the
programmer wants, so GNAT will output a warning:

@smallexample
  with System;
  package G is
     type R is record
        M : Integer := 0;
     end record;

     Ext : R;
     for Ext'Address use System'To_Address (16#1234_1234#);
         |
  >>> warning: implicit initialization of "Ext" may
      modify overlaid storage
  >>> warning: use pragma Import for "Ext" to suppress
      initialization (RM B(24))

  end G;
@end smallexample

@noindent
As indicated by the warning message, the solution is to use a (dummy) pragma
Import to suppress this initialization.  The pragma tell the compiler that the
object is declared and initialized elsewhere.  The following package compiles
without warnings (and the initialization is suppressed):

@smallexample @c ada
   with System;
   package G is
      type R is record
         M : Integer := 0;
      end record;

      Ext : R;
      for Ext'Address use System'To_Address (16#1234_1234#);
      pragma Import (Ada, Ext);
   end G;
@end smallexample

@noindent
A final issue with address clauses involves their use for overlaying
variables, as in the following example:
@cindex Overlaying of objects

@smallexample @c ada
  A : Integer;
  B : Integer;
  for B'Address use A'Address;
@end smallexample

@noindent
or alternatively, using the form recommended by the RM:

@smallexample @c ada
  A    : Integer;
  Addr : constant Address := A'Address;
  B    : Integer;
  for B'Address use Addr;
@end smallexample

@noindent
In both of these cases, @code{A}
and @code{B} become aliased to one another via the
address clause. This use of address clauses to overlay
variables, achieving an effect similar to unchecked
conversion was erroneous in Ada 83, but in Ada 95 and Ada 2005
the effect is implementation defined. Furthermore, the
Ada RM specifically recommends that in a situation
like this, @code{B} should be subject to the following
implementation advice (RM 13.3(19)):

@quotation
19  If the Address of an object is specified, or it is imported
    or exported, then the implementation should not perform
    optimizations based on assumptions of no aliases.
@end quotation

@noindent
GNAT follows this recommendation, and goes further by also applying
this recommendation to the overlaid variable (@code{A}
in the above example) in this case. This means that the overlay
works "as expected", in that a modification to one of the variables
will affect the value of the other.

@node Effect of Convention on Representation
@section Effect of Convention on Representation
@cindex Convention, effect on representation

@noindent
Normally the specification of a foreign language convention for a type or
an object has no effect on the chosen representation.  In particular, the
representation chosen for data in GNAT generally meets the standard system
conventions, and for example records are laid out in a manner that is
consistent with C@.  This means that specifying convention C (for example)
has no effect.

There are four exceptions to this general rule:

@itemize @bullet

@item Convention Fortran and array subtypes
If pragma Convention Fortran is specified for an array subtype, then in
accordance with the implementation advice in section 3.6.2(11) of the
Ada Reference Manual, the array will be stored in a Fortran-compatible
column-major manner, instead of the normal default row-major order.

@item Convention C and enumeration types
GNAT normally stores enumeration types in 8, 16, or 32 bits as required
to accommodate all values of the type.  For example, for the enumeration
type declared by:

@smallexample @c ada
   type Color is (Red, Green, Blue);
@end smallexample

@noindent
8 bits is sufficient to store all values of the type, so by default, objects
of type @code{Color} will be represented using 8 bits.  However, normal C
convention is to use 32 bits for all enum values in C, since enum values
are essentially of type int.  If pragma @code{Convention C} is specified for an
Ada enumeration type, then the size is modified as necessary (usually to
32 bits) to be consistent with the C convention for enum values.

Note that this treatment applies only to types. If Convention C is given for
an enumeration object, where the enumeration type is not Convention C, then
Object_Size bits are allocated. For example, for a normal enumeration type,
with less than 256 elements, only 8 bits will be allocated for the object.
Since this may be a surprise in terms of what C expects, GNAT will issue a
warning in this situation. The warning can be suppressed by giving an explicit
size clause specifying the desired size.

@item Convention C/Fortran and Boolean types
In C, the usual convention for boolean values, that is values used for
conditions, is that zero represents false, and nonzero values represent
true.  In Ada, the normal convention is that two specific values, typically
0/1, are used to represent false/true respectively.

Fortran has a similar convention for @code{LOGICAL} values (any nonzero
value represents true).

To accommodate the Fortran and C conventions, if a pragma Convention specifies
C or Fortran convention for a derived Boolean, as in the following example:

@smallexample @c ada
   type C_Switch is new Boolean;
   pragma Convention (C, C_Switch);
@end smallexample

@noindent
then the GNAT generated code will treat any nonzero value as true.  For truth
values generated by GNAT, the conventional value 1 will be used for True, but
when one of these values is read, any nonzero value is treated as True.

@item Access types on OpenVMS
For 64-bit OpenVMS systems, access types (other than those for unconstrained
arrays) are 64-bits long. An exception to this rule is for the case of
C-convention access types where there is no explicit size clause present (or
inherited for derived types). In this case, GNAT chooses to make these
pointers 32-bits, which provides an easier path for migration of 32-bit legacy
code. size clause specifying 64-bits must be used to obtain a 64-bit pointer.

@cindex @option{-gnatR} switch

@noindent
Although the descriptions in this section are intended to be complete, it is
often easier to simply experiment to see what GNAT accepts and what the
effect is on the layout of types and objects.

As required by the Ada RM, if a representation clause is not accepted, then
it must be rejected as illegal by the compiler.  However, when a
representation clause or pragma is accepted, there can still be questions
of what the compiler actually does.  For example, if a partial record
representation clause specifies the location of some components and not
others, then where are the non-specified components placed? Or if pragma
@code{Pack} is used on a record, then exactly where are the resulting
fields placed? The section on pragma @code{Pack} in this chapter can be
used to answer the second question, but it is often easier to just see
what the compiler does.

For this purpose, GNAT provides the option @option{-gnatR}.  If you compile
with this option, then the compiler will output information on the actual
representations chosen, in a format similar to source representation
clauses.  For example, if we compile the package:

@smallexample @c ada
package q is
   type r (x : boolean) is tagged record
      case x is
         when True => S : String (1 .. 100);
         when False => null;
      end case;
   end record;

   type r2 is new r (false) with record
      y2 : integer;
   end record;

   for r2 use record
      y2 at 16 range 0 .. 31;
   end record;

   type x is record
      y : character;
   end record;

   type x1 is array (1 .. 10) of x;
   for x1'component_size use 11;

   type ia is access integer;

   type Rb1 is array (1 .. 13) of Boolean;
   pragma Pack (rb1);

   type Rb2 is array (1 .. 65) of Boolean;
   pragma Pack (rb2);

   type x2 is record
      l1 : Boolean;
      l2 : Duration;
      l3 : Float;
      l4 : Boolean;
      l5 : Rb1;
      l6 : Rb2;
   end record;
   pragma Pack (x2);
end q;
@end smallexample

@noindent
using the switch @option{-gnatR} we obtain the following output:

@smallexample
Representation information for unit q
-------------------------------------

for r'Size use ??;
for r'Alignment use 4;
for r use record
   x    at 4 range  0 .. 7;
   _tag at 0 range  0 .. 31;
   s    at 5 range  0 .. 799;
end record;

for r2'Size use 160;
for r2'Alignment use 4;
for r2 use record
   x       at  4 range  0 .. 7;
   _tag    at  0 range  0 .. 31;
   _parent at  0 range  0 .. 63;
   y2      at 16 range  0 .. 31;
end record;

for x'Size use 8;
for x'Alignment use 1;
for x use record
   y at 0 range  0 .. 7;
end record;

for x1'Size use 112;
for x1'Alignment use 1;
for x1'Component_Size use 11;

for rb1'Size use 13;
for rb1'Alignment use 2;
for rb1'Component_Size use 1;

for rb2'Size use 72;
for rb2'Alignment use 1;
for rb2'Component_Size use 1;

for x2'Size use 224;
for x2'Alignment use 4;
for x2 use record
   l1 at  0 range  0 .. 0;
   l2 at  0 range  1 .. 64;
   l3 at 12 range  0 .. 31;
   l4 at 16 range  0 .. 0;
   l5 at 16 range  1 .. 13;
   l6 at 18 range  0 .. 71;
end record;
@end smallexample

@noindent
The Size values are actually the Object_Size, i.e.@: the default size that
will be allocated for objects of the type.
The ?? size for type r indicates that we have a variant record, and the
actual size of objects will depend on the discriminant value.

The Alignment values show the actual alignment chosen by the compiler
for each record or array type.

The record representation clause for type r shows where all fields
are placed, including the compiler generated tag field (whose location
cannot be controlled by the programmer).

The record representation clause for the type extension r2 shows all the
fields present, including the parent field, which is a copy of the fields
of the parent type of r2, i.e.@: r1.

The component size and size clauses for types rb1 and rb2 show
the exact effect of pragma @code{Pack} on these arrays, and the record
representation clause for type x2 shows how pragma @code{Pack} affects
this record type.

In some cases, it may be useful to cut and paste the representation clauses
generated by the compiler into the original source to fix and guarantee
the actual representation to be used.

@node Standard Library Routines
@chapter Standard Library Routines

@noindent
The Ada Reference Manual contains in Annex A a full description of an
extensive set of standard library routines that can be used in any Ada
program, and which must be provided by all Ada compilers.  They are
analogous to the standard C library used by C programs.

GNAT implements all of the facilities described in annex A, and for most
purposes the description in the Ada Reference Manual, or appropriate Ada
text book, will be sufficient for making use of these facilities.

In the case of the input-output facilities,
@xref{The Implementation of Standard I/O},
gives details on exactly how GNAT interfaces to the
file system.  For the remaining packages, the Ada Reference Manual
should be sufficient.  The following is a list of the packages included,
together with a brief description of the functionality that is provided.

For completeness, references are included to other predefined library
routines defined in other sections of the Ada Reference Manual (these are
cross-indexed from Annex A).

@table @code
@item Ada (A.2)
This is a parent package for all the standard library packages.  It is
usually included implicitly in your program, and itself contains no
useful data or routines.

@item Ada.Calendar (9.6)
@code{Calendar} provides time of day access, and routines for
manipulating times and durations.

@item Ada.Characters (A.3.1)
This is a dummy parent package that contains no useful entities

@item Ada.Characters.Handling (A.3.2)
This package provides some basic character handling capabilities,
including classification functions for classes of characters (e.g.@: test
for letters, or digits).

@item Ada.Characters.Latin_1 (A.3.3)
This package includes a complete set of definitions of the characters
that appear in type CHARACTER@.  It is useful for writing programs that
will run in international environments.  For example, if you want an
upper case E with an acute accent in a string, it is often better to use
the definition of @code{UC_E_Acute} in this package.  Then your program
will print in an understandable manner even if your environment does not
support these extended characters.

@item Ada.Command_Line (A.15)
This package provides access to the command line parameters and the name
of the current program (analogous to the use of @code{argc} and @code{argv}
in C), and also allows the exit status for the program to be set in a
system-independent manner.

@item Ada.Decimal (F.2)
This package provides constants describing the range of decimal numbers
implemented, and also a decimal divide routine (analogous to the COBOL
verb DIVIDE @dots{} GIVING @dots{} REMAINDER @dots{})

@item Ada.Direct_IO (A.8.4)
This package provides input-output using a model of a set of records of
fixed-length, containing an arbitrary definite Ada type, indexed by an
integer record number.

@item Ada.Dynamic_Priorities (D.5)
This package allows the priorities of a task to be adjusted dynamically
as the task is running.

@item Ada.Exceptions (11.4.1)
This package provides additional information on exceptions, and also
contains facilities for treating exceptions as data objects, and raising
exceptions with associated messages.

@item Ada.Finalization (7.6)
This package contains the declarations and subprograms to support the
use of controlled types, providing for automatic initialization and
finalization (analogous to the constructors and destructors of C++)

@item Ada.Interrupts (C.3.2)
This package provides facilities for interfacing to interrupts, which
includes the set of signals or conditions that can be raised and
recognized as interrupts.

@item Ada.Interrupts.Names (C.3.2)
This package provides the set of interrupt names (actually signal
or condition names) that can be handled by GNAT@.

@item Ada.IO_Exceptions (A.13)
This package defines the set of exceptions that can be raised by use of
the standard IO packages.

@item Ada.Numerics
This package contains some standard constants and exceptions used
throughout the numerics packages.  Note that the constants pi and e are
defined here, and it is better to use these definitions than rolling
your own.

@item Ada.Numerics.Complex_Elementary_Functions
Provides the implementation of standard elementary functions (such as
log and trigonometric functions) operating on complex numbers using the
standard @code{Float} and the @code{Complex} and @code{Imaginary} types
created by the package @code{Numerics.Complex_Types}.

@item Ada.Numerics.Complex_Types
This is a predefined instantiation of
@code{Numerics.Generic_Complex_Types} using @code{Standard.Float} to
build the type @code{Complex} and @code{Imaginary}.

@item Ada.Numerics.Discrete_Random
This package provides a random number generator suitable for generating
random integer values from a specified range.

@item Ada.Numerics.Float_Random
This package provides a random number generator suitable for generating
uniformly distributed floating point values.

@item Ada.Numerics.Generic_Complex_Elementary_Functions
This is a generic version of the package that provides the
implementation of standard elementary functions (such as log and
trigonometric functions) for an arbitrary complex type.

The following predefined instantiations of this package are provided:

@table @code
@item Short_Float
@code{Ada.Numerics.Short_Complex_Elementary_Functions}
@item Float
@code{Ada.Numerics.Complex_Elementary_Functions}
@item Long_Float
@code{Ada.Numerics.Long_Complex_Elementary_Functions}
@end table

@item Ada.Numerics.Generic_Complex_Types
This is a generic package that allows the creation of complex types,
with associated complex arithmetic operations.

The following predefined instantiations of this package exist
@table @code
@item Short_Float
@code{Ada.Numerics.Short_Complex_Complex_Types}
@item Float
@code{Ada.Numerics.Complex_Complex_Types}
@item Long_Float
@code{Ada.Numerics.Long_Complex_Complex_Types}
@end table

@item Ada.Numerics.Generic_Elementary_Functions

elementary functions (such as log an trigonometric functions) for an
arbitrary float type.

The following predefined instantiations of this package exist

@table @code
@item Short_Float
@code{Ada.Numerics.Short_Elementary_Functions}
@item Float
@code{Ada.Numerics.Elementary_Functions}
@item Long_Float
@code{Ada.Numerics.Long_Elementary_Functions}
@end table

@item Ada.Real_Time (D.8)
This package provides facilities similar to those of @code{Calendar}, but
operating with a finer clock suitable for real time control. Note that
annex D requires that there be no backward clock jumps, and GNAT generally
guarantees this behavior, but of course if the external clock on which
the GNAT runtime depends is deliberately reset by some external event,
then such a backward jump may occur.

@item Ada.Sequential_IO (A.8.1)
This package provides input-output facilities for sequential files,
which can contain a sequence of values of a single type, which can be
any Ada type, including indefinite (unconstrained) types.

@item Ada.Storage_IO (A.9)
This package provides a facility for mapping arbitrary Ada types to and
from a storage buffer.  It is primarily intended for the creation of new
IO packages.

@item Ada.Streams (13.13.1)
This is a generic package that provides the basic support for the
concept of streams as used by the stream attributes (@code{Input},
@code{Output}, @code{Read} and @code{Write}).

@item Ada.Streams.Stream_IO (A.12.1)
This package is a specialization of the type @code{Streams} defined in
package @code{Streams} together with a set of operations providing
Stream_IO capability.  The Stream_IO model permits both random and
sequential access to a file which can contain an arbitrary set of values
of one or more Ada types.

@item Ada.Strings (A.4.1)
This package provides some basic constants used by the string handling
packages.

@item Ada.Strings.Bounded (A.4.4)
This package provides facilities for handling variable length
strings.  The bounded model requires a maximum length.  It is thus
somewhat more limited than the unbounded model, but avoids the use of
dynamic allocation or finalization.

@item Ada.Strings.Fixed (A.4.3)
This package provides facilities for handling fixed length strings.

@item Ada.Strings.Maps (A.4.2)
This package provides facilities for handling character mappings and
arbitrarily defined subsets of characters.  For instance it is useful in
defining specialized translation tables.

@item Ada.Strings.Maps.Constants (A.4.6)
This package provides a standard set of predefined mappings and
predefined character sets.  For example, the standard upper to lower case
conversion table is found in this package.  Note that upper to lower case
conversion is non-trivial if you want to take the entire set of
characters, including extended characters like E with an acute accent,
into account.  You should use the mappings in this package (rather than
adding 32 yourself) to do case mappings.

@item Ada.Strings.Unbounded (A.4.5)
This package provides facilities for handling variable length
strings.  The unbounded model allows arbitrary length strings, but
requires the use of dynamic allocation and finalization.

@item Ada.Strings.Wide_Bounded (A.4.7)
@itemx Ada.Strings.Wide_Fixed (A.4.7)
@itemx Ada.Strings.Wide_Maps (A.4.7)
@itemx Ada.Strings.Wide_Maps.Constants (A.4.7)
@itemx Ada.Strings.Wide_Unbounded (A.4.7)
These packages provide analogous capabilities to the corresponding
packages without @samp{Wide_} in the name, but operate with the types
@code{Wide_String} and @code{Wide_Character} instead of @code{String}
and @code{Character}.

@item Ada.Strings.Wide_Wide_Bounded (A.4.7)
@itemx Ada.Strings.Wide_Wide_Fixed (A.4.7)
@itemx Ada.Strings.Wide_Wide_Maps (A.4.7)
@itemx Ada.Strings.Wide_Wide_Maps.Constants (A.4.7)
@itemx Ada.Strings.Wide_Wide_Unbounded (A.4.7)
These packages provide analogous capabilities to the corresponding
packages without @samp{Wide_} in the name, but operate with the types
@code{Wide_Wide_String} and @code{Wide_Wide_Character} instead
of @code{String} and @code{Character}.

@item Ada.Synchronous_Task_Control (D.10)
This package provides some standard facilities for controlling task
communication in a synchronous manner.

@item Ada.Tags
This package contains definitions for manipulation of the tags of tagged
values.

@item Ada.Task_Attributes
This package provides the capability of associating arbitrary
task-specific data with separate tasks.

@item Ada.Text_IO
This package provides basic text input-output capabilities for
character, string and numeric data.  The subpackages of this
package are listed next.

@item Ada.Text_IO.Decimal_IO
Provides input-output facilities for decimal fixed-point types

@item Ada.Text_IO.Enumeration_IO
Provides input-output facilities for enumeration types.

@item Ada.Text_IO.Fixed_IO
Provides input-output facilities for ordinary fixed-point types.

@item Ada.Text_IO.Float_IO
Provides input-output facilities for float types.  The following
predefined instantiations of this generic package are available:

@table @code
@item Short_Float
@code{Short_Float_Text_IO}
@item Float
@code{Float_Text_IO}
@item Long_Float
@code{Long_Float_Text_IO}
@end table

@item Ada.Text_IO.Integer_IO
Provides input-output facilities for integer types.  The following
predefined instantiations of this generic package are available:

@table @code
@item Short_Short_Integer
@code{Ada.Short_Short_Integer_Text_IO}
@item Short_Integer
@code{Ada.Short_Integer_Text_IO}
@item Integer
@code{Ada.Integer_Text_IO}
@item Long_Integer
@code{Ada.Long_Integer_Text_IO}
@item Long_Long_Integer
@code{Ada.Long_Long_Integer_Text_IO}
@end table

@item Ada.Text_IO.Modular_IO
Provides input-output facilities for modular (unsigned) types

@item Ada.Text_IO.Complex_IO (G.1.3)
This package provides basic text input-output capabilities for complex
data.

@item Ada.Text_IO.Editing (F.3.3)
This package contains routines for edited output, analogous to the use
of pictures in COBOL@.  The picture formats used by this package are a
close copy of the facility in COBOL@.

@item Ada.Text_IO.Text_Streams (A.12.2)
This package provides a facility that allows Text_IO files to be treated
as streams, so that the stream attributes can be used for writing
arbitrary data, including binary data, to Text_IO files.

@item Ada.Unchecked_Conversion (13.9)
This generic package allows arbitrary conversion from one type to
another of the same size, providing for breaking the type safety in
special circumstances.

If the types have the same Size (more accurately the same Value_Size),
then the effect is simply to transfer the bits from the source to the
target type without any modification.  This usage is well defined, and
for simple types whose representation is typically the same across
all implementations, gives a portable method of performing such
conversions.

If the types do not have the same size, then the result is implementation
defined, and thus may be non-portable.  The following describes how GNAT
handles such unchecked conversion cases.

If the types are of different sizes, and are both discrete types, then
the effect is of a normal type conversion without any constraint checking.
In particular if the result type has a larger size, the result will be
zero or sign extended.  If the result type has a smaller size, the result
will be truncated by ignoring high order bits.

If the types are of different sizes, and are not both discrete types,
then the conversion works as though pointers were created to the source
and target, and the pointer value is converted.  The effect is that bits
are copied from successive low order storage units and bits of the source
up to the length of the target type.

A warning is issued if the lengths differ, since the effect in this
case is implementation dependent, and the above behavior may not match
that of some other compiler.

A pointer to one type may be converted to a pointer to another type using
unchecked conversion.  The only case in which the effect is undefined is
when one or both pointers are pointers to unconstrained array types.  In
this case, the bounds information may get incorrectly transferred, and in
particular, GNAT uses double size pointers for such types, and it is
meaningless to convert between such pointer types.  GNAT will issue a
warning if the alignment of the target designated type is more strict
than the alignment of the source designated type (since the result may
be unaligned in this case).

A pointer other than a pointer to an unconstrained array type may be
converted to and from System.Address.  Such usage is common in Ada 83
programs, but note that Ada.Address_To_Access_Conversions is the
preferred method of performing such conversions in Ada 95 and Ada 2005.
Neither
unchecked conversion nor Ada.Address_To_Access_Conversions should be
used in conjunction with pointers to unconstrained objects, since
the bounds information cannot be handled correctly in this case.

@item Ada.Unchecked_Deallocation (13.11.2)
This generic package allows explicit freeing of storage previously
allocated by use of an allocator.

@item Ada.Wide_Text_IO (A.11)
This package is similar to @code{Ada.Text_IO}, except that the external
file supports wide character representations, and the internal types are
@code{Wide_Character} and @code{Wide_String} instead of @code{Character}
and @code{String}.  It contains generic subpackages listed next.

@item Ada.Wide_Text_IO.Decimal_IO
Provides input-output facilities for decimal fixed-point types

@item Ada.Wide_Text_IO.Enumeration_IO
Provides input-output facilities for enumeration types.

@item Ada.Wide_Text_IO.Fixed_IO

@node The Implementation of Standard I/O
@chapter The Implementation of Standard I/O

@noindent
GNAT implements all the required input-output facilities described in
A.6 through A.14.  These sections of the Ada Reference Manual describe the
required behavior of these packages from the Ada point of view, and if
you are writing a portable Ada program that does not need to know the
exact manner in which Ada maps to the outside world when it comes to
reading or writing external files, then you do not need to read this
chapter.  As long as your files are all regular files (not pipes or
devices), and as long as you write and read the files only from Ada, the
description in the Ada Reference Manual is sufficient.

However, if you want to do input-output to pipes or other devices, such
as the keyboard or screen, or if the files you are dealing with are
either generated by some other language, or to be read by some other
language, then you need to know more about the details of how the GNAT
implementation of these input-output facilities behaves.

In this chapter we give a detailed description of exactly how GNAT
interfaces to the file system.  As always, the sources of the system are
available to you for answering questions at an even more detailed level,
but for most purposes the information in this chapter will suffice.

Another reason that you may need to know more about how input-output is
implemented arises when you have a program written in mixed languages
where, for example, files are shared between the C and Ada sections of
the same program.  GNAT provides some additional facilities, in the form
of additional child library packages, that facilitate this sharing, and
these additional facilities are also described in this chapter.

@noindent
There is no internal buffering of any kind at the Ada library level. The only
buffering is that provided at the system level in the implementation of the
library routines that support streams. This facilitates shared use of these
streams by mixed language programs. Note though that system level buffering is
explicitly enabled at elaboration of the standard I/O packages and that can
have an impact on mixed language programs, in particular those using I/O before
calling the Ada elaboration routine (e.g.@: adainit). It is recommended to call
the Ada elaboration routine before performing any I/O or when impractical,
flush the common I/O streams and in particular Standard_Output before
elaborating the Ada code.

The use of these parameters is described later in this section.

@node Direct_IO
@section Direct_IO

@noindent
Direct_IO can only be instantiated for definite types.  This is a
restriction of the Ada language, which means that the records are fixed
length (the length being determined by @code{@var{type}'Size}, rounded
up to the next storage unit boundary if necessary).

The records of a Direct_IO file are simply written to the file in index
sequence, with the first record starting at offset zero, and subsequent
records following.  There is no control information of any kind.  For
example, if 32-bit integers are being written, each record takes
4-bytes, so the record at index @var{K} starts at offset
(@var{K}@minus{}1)*4.

There is no limit on the size of Direct_IO files, they are expanded as
necessary to accommodate whatever records are written to the file.

@node Sequential_IO
@section Sequential_IO

@noindent
Sequential_IO may be instantiated with either a definite (constrained)
or indefinite (unconstrained) type.

For the definite type case, the elements written to the file are simply
the memory images of the data values with no control information of any
kind.  The resulting file should be read using the same type, no validity
checking is performed on input.

For the indefinite type case, the elements written consist of two
parts.  First is the size of the data item, written as the memory image
of a @code{Interfaces.C.size_t} value, followed by the memory image of
the data value.  The resulting file can only be read using the same
(unconstrained) type.  Normal assignment checks are performed on these
read operations, and if these checks fail, @code{Data_Error} is
raised.  In particular, in the array case, the lengths must match, and in
the variant record case, if the variable for a particular read operation
is constrained, the discriminants must match.

Note that it is not possible to use Sequential_IO to write variable
length array items, and then read the data back into different length
arrays.  For example, the following will raise @code{Data_Error}:

@smallexample @c ada
 package IO is new Sequential_IO (String);
 F : IO.File_Type;
 S : String (1..4);
 @dots{}
 IO.Create (F)
 IO.Write (F, "hello!")
 IO.Reset (F, Mode=>In_File);
 IO.Read (F, S);
 Put_Line (S);

@end smallexample

@noindent
On some Ada implementations, this will print @code{hell}, but the program is
clearly incorrect, since there is only one element in the file, and that
element is the string @code{hello!}.

In Ada 95 and Ada 2005, this kind of behavior can be legitimately achieved
using Stream_IO, and this is the preferred mechanism.  In particular, the
above program fragment rewritten to use Stream_IO will work correctly.

@node Text_IO
@section Text_IO

@noindent
Text_IO files consist of a stream of characters containing the following
special control characters:

@smallexample
LF (line feed, 16#0A#) Line Mark
FF (form feed, 16#0C#) Page Mark
@end smallexample

@noindent
A canonical Text_IO file is defined as one in which the following
conditions are met:

@itemize @bullet
@item
The character @code{LF} is used only as a line mark, i.e.@: to mark the end
of the line.

@item
The character @code{FF} is used only as a page mark, i.e.@: to mark the
end of a page and consequently can appear only immediately following a
@code{LF} (line mark) character.

@item
The file ends with either @code{LF} (line mark) or @code{LF}-@code{FF}
(line mark, page mark).  In the former case, the page mark is implicitly
assumed to be present.
@end itemize

@noindent
A file written using Text_IO will be in canonical form provided that no
explicit @code{LF} or @code{FF} characters are written using @code{Put}
or @code{Put_Line}.  There will be no @code{FF} character at the end of
the file unless an explicit @code{New_Page} operation was performed
before closing the file.

A canonical Text_IO file that is a regular file (i.e., not a device or a
pipe) can be read using any of the routines in Text_IO@.  The
semantics in this case will be exactly as defined in the Ada Reference
Manual, and all the routines in Text_IO are fully implemented.

A text file that does not meet the requirements for a canonical Text_IO
file has one of the following:

@itemize @bullet
@item
The file contains @code{FF} characters not immediately following a
@code{LF} character.

@item
The file contains @code{LF} or @code{FF} characters written by
@code{Put} or @code{Put_Line}, which are not logically considered to be
line marks or page marks.

@item
The file ends in a character other than @code{LF} or @code{FF},
i.e.@: there is no explicit line mark or page mark at the end of the file.
@end itemize

@noindent
Text_IO can be used to read such non-standard text files but subprograms
to do with line or page numbers do not have defined meanings.  In
particular, a @code{FF} character that does not follow a @code{LF}
character may or may not be treated as a page mark from the point of
view of page and line numbering.  Every @code{LF} character is considered
to end a line, and there is an implied @code{LF} character at the end of
the file.

@node Text_IO Stream Pointer Positioning
@subsection Stream Pointer Positioning

@noindent
@code{Ada.Text_IO} has a definition of current position for a file that
is being read.  No internal buffering occurs in Text_IO, and usually the
physical position in the stream used to implement the file corresponds
to this logical position defined by Text_IO@.  There are two exceptions:

@itemize @bullet
@item
After a call to @code{End_Of_Page} that returns @code{True}, the stream
is positioned past the @code{LF} (line mark) that precedes the page
mark.  Text_IO maintains an internal flag so that subsequent read
operations properly handle the logical position which is unchanged by
the @code{End_Of_Page} call.

@item
After a call to @code{End_Of_File} that returns @code{True}, if the
Text_IO file was positioned before the line mark at the end of file
before the call, then the logical position is unchanged, but the stream
is physically positioned right at the end of file (past the line mark,
and past a possible page mark following the line mark.  Again Text_IO
maintains internal flags so that subsequent read operations properly
handle the logical position.
@end itemize

@noindent
These discrepancies have no effect on the observable behavior of
Text_IO, but if a single Ada stream is shared between a C program and
Ada program, or shared (using @samp{shared=yes} in the form string)
between two Ada files, then the difference may be observable in some
situations.

@node Text_IO Reading and Writing Non-Regular Files
@subsection Reading and Writing Non-Regular Files

@noindent
A non-regular file is a device (such as a keyboard), or a pipe.  Text_IO
can be used for reading and writing.  Writing is not affected and the
sequence of characters output is identical to the normal file case, but
for reading, the behavior of Text_IO is modified to avoid undesirable
look-ahead as follows:

An input file that is not a regular file is considered to have no page
marks.  Any @code{Ascii.FF} characters (the character normally used for a
page mark) appearing in the file are considered to be data
characters.  In particular:

@itemize @bullet
@item
@code{Get_Line} and @code{Skip_Line} do not test for a page mark
following a line mark.  If a page mark appears, it will be treated as a
data character.

@item
This avoids the need to wait for an extra character to be typed or
entered from the pipe to complete one of these operations.

@item
@code{End_Of_Page} always returns @code{False}

@item
@code{End_Of_File} will return @code{False} if there is a page mark at
the end of the file.
@end itemize

@noindent
Output to non-regular files is the same as for regular files.  Page marks
may be written to non-regular files using @code{New_Page}, but as noted
above they will not be treated as page marks on input if the output is
piped to another Ada program.

Another important discrepancy when reading non-regular files is that the end
of file indication is not ``sticky''.  If an end of file is entered, e.g.@: by
pressing the @key{EOT} key,
then end of file
is signaled once (i.e.@: the test @code{End_Of_File}
will yield @code{True}, or a read will
raise @code{End_Error}), but then reading can resume
to read data past that end of
file indication, until another end of file indication is entered.

@node Get_Immediate
@subsection Get_Immediate
@cindex Get_Immediate

@noindent
Get_Immediate returns the next character (including control characters)
from the input file.  In particular, Get_Immediate will return LF or FF
characters used as line marks or page marks.  Such operations leave the
file positioned past the control character, and it is thus not treated
as having its normal function.  This means that page, line and column
counts after this kind of Get_Immediate call are set as though the mark
did not occur.  In the case where a Get_Immediate leaves the file
positioned between the line mark and page mark (which is not normally
possible), it is undefined whether the FF character will be treated as a
page mark.

@node Treating Text_IO Files as Streams
@subsection Treating Text_IO Files as Streams
@cindex Stream files

@noindent
The package @code{Text_IO.Streams} allows a Text_IO file to be treated
as a stream.  Data written to a Text_IO file in this stream mode is
binary data.  If this binary data contains bytes 16#0A# (@code{LF}) or
16#0C# (@code{FF}), the resulting file may have non-standard
format.  Similarly if read operations are used to read from a Text_IO
file treated as a stream, then @code{LF} and @code{FF} characters may be
skipped and the effect is similar to that described above for
@code{Get_Immediate}.

@node Text_IO Extensions
@subsection Text_IO Extensions
@cindex Text_IO extensions

@noindent
A package GNAT.IO_Aux in the GNAT library provides some useful extensions
to the standard @code{Text_IO} package:

@itemize @bullet
@item function File_Exists (Name : String) return Boolean;
Determines if a file of the given name exists.

@item function Get_Line return String;
Reads a string from the standard input file.  The value returned is exactly
the length of the line that was read.

@item function Get_Line (File : Ada.Text_IO.File_Type) return String;
Similar, except that the parameter File specifies the file from which
the string is to be read.

@end itemize

@node Text_IO Facilities for Unbounded Strings
@subsection Text_IO Facilities for Unbounded Strings
@cindex Text_IO for unbounded strings
@cindex Unbounded_String, Text_IO operations

@noindent
The package @code{Ada.Strings.Unbounded.Text_IO}
in library files @code{a-suteio.ads/adb} contains some GNAT-specific
subprograms useful for Text_IO operations on unbounded strings:

@itemize @bullet

@item function Get_Line (File : File_Type) return Unbounded_String;
Reads a line from the specified file
and returns the result as an unbounded string.

@item procedure Put (File : File_Type; U : Unbounded_String);
Writes the value of the given unbounded string to the specified file
Similar to the effect of
@code{Put (To_String (U))} except that an extra copy is avoided.

@item procedure Put_Line (File : File_Type; U : Unbounded_String);
Writes the value of the given unbounded string to the specified file,
followed by a @code{New_Line}.
Similar to the effect of @code{Put_Line (To_String (U))} except
that an extra copy is avoided.
@end itemize

@noindent
In the above procedures, @code{File} is of type @code{Ada.Text_IO.File_Type}
and is optional.  If the parameter is omitted, then the standard input or
output file is referenced as appropriate.

The package @code{Ada.Strings.Wide_Unbounded.Wide_Text_IO} in library
files @file{a-swuwti.ads} and @file{a-swuwti.adb} provides similar extended
@code{Wide_Text_IO} functionality for unbounded wide strings.

The package @code{Ada.Strings.Wide_Wide_Unbounded.Wide_Wide_Text_IO} in library
files @file{a-szuzti.ads} and @file{a-szuzti.adb} provides similar extended
@code{Wide_Wide_Text_IO} functionality for unbounded wide wide strings.

@node Wide_Text_IO
@section Wide_Text_IO

@noindent
@code{Wide_Text_IO} is similar in most respects to Text_IO, except that
both input and output files may contain special sequences that represent
wide character values.  The encoding scheme for a given file may be
specified using a FORM parameter:

@smallexample
WCEM=@var{x}
@end smallexample

@noindent
as part of the FORM string (WCEM = wide character encoding method),
where @var{x} is one of the following characters

@table @samp
@item h
Hex ESC encoding
@item u
Upper half encoding
@item s
Shift-JIS encoding
@item e
EUC Encoding
@item 8
UTF-8 encoding
@item b
Brackets encoding
@end table

@noindent
The encoding methods match those that
can be used in a source
program, but there is no requirement that the encoding method used for
the source program be the same as the encoding method used for files,
and different files may use different encoding methods.

The default encoding method for the standard files, and for opened files
for which no WCEM parameter is given in the FORM string matches the
wide character encoding specified for the main program (the default
being brackets encoding if no coding method was specified with -gnatW).

@table @asis
@item Hex Coding
In this encoding, a wide character is represented by a five character
sequence:

@smallexample
ESC a b c d
@end smallexample

@noindent
where @var{a}, @var{b}, @var{c}, @var{d} are the four hexadecimal
characters (using upper case letters) of the wide character code.  For
example, ESC A345 is used to represent the wide character with code
16#A345#.  This scheme is compatible with use of the full
@code{Wide_Character} set.

@item Upper Half Coding
The wide character with encoding 16#abcd#, where the upper bit is on
(i.e.@: a is in the range 8-F) is represented as two bytes 16#ab# and
16#cd#.  The second byte may never be a format control character, but is
not required to be in the upper half.  This method can be also used for
shift-JIS or EUC where the internal coding matches the external coding.

@item Shift JIS Coding
A wide character is represented by a two character sequence 16#ab# and
16#cd#, with the restrictions described for upper half encoding as
described above.  The internal character code is the corresponding JIS
character according to the standard algorithm for Shift-JIS
conversion.  Only characters defined in the JIS code set table can be
used with this encoding method.

@item EUC Coding
A wide character is represented by a two character sequence 16#ab# and
16#cd#, with both characters being in the upper half.  The internal
character code is the corresponding JIS character according to the EUC
encoding algorithm.  Only characters defined in the JIS code set table
can be used with this encoding method.

@item UTF-8 Coding
A wide character is represented using
UCS Transformation Format 8 (UTF-8) as defined in Annex R of ISO
10646-1/Am.2.  Depending on the character value, the representation
is a one, two, or three byte sequence:

@smallexample
16#0000#-16#007f#: 2#0xxxxxxx#
16#0080#-16#07ff#: 2#110xxxxx# 2#10xxxxxx#
16#0800#-16#ffff#: 2#1110xxxx# 2#10xxxxxx# 2#10xxxxxx#
@end smallexample

@noindent
where the @var{xxx} bits correspond to the left-padded bits of the
16-bit character value.  Note that all lower half ASCII characters
are represented as ASCII bytes and all upper half characters and
other wide characters are represented as sequences of upper-half
(The full UTF-8 scheme allows for encoding 31-bit characters as
6-byte sequences, but in this implementation, all UTF-8 sequences
of four or more bytes length will raise a Constraint_Error, as
will all invalid UTF-8 sequences.)

@item Brackets Coding
In this encoding, a wide character is represented by the following eight
character sequence:

@smallexample
[ " a b c d " ]
@end smallexample

@noindent
where @code{a}, @code{b}, @code{c}, @code{d} are the four hexadecimal
characters (using uppercase letters) of the wide character code.  For
example, @code{["A345"]} is used to represent the wide character with code
@code{16#A345#}.
This scheme is compatible with use of the full Wide_Character set.
On input, brackets coding can also be used for upper half characters,
e.g.@: @code{["C1"]} for lower case a.  However, on output, brackets notation
is only used for wide characters with a code greater than @code{16#FF#}.

Note that brackets coding is not normally used in the context of
Wide_Text_IO or Wide_Wide_Text_IO, since it is really just designed as
a portable way of encoding source files. In the context of Wide_Text_IO
or Wide_Wide_Text_IO, it can only be used if the file does not contain
any instance of the left bracket character other than to encode wide
character values using the brackets encoding method. In practice it is
expected that some standard wide character encoding method such
as UTF-8 will be used for text input output.

If brackets notation is used, then any occurrence of a left bracket
in the input file which is not the start of a valid wide character
sequence will cause Constraint_Error to be raised. It is possible to
encode a left bracket as ["5B"] and Wide_Text_IO and Wide_Wide_Text_IO
input will interpret this as a left bracket.

However, when a left bracket is output, it will be output as a left bracket
and not as ["5B"]. We make this decision because for normal use of
Wide_Text_IO for outputting messages, it is unpleasant to clobber left
brackets. For example, if we write:

@smallexample
   Put_Line ("Start of output [first run]");
@end smallexample

@noindent
we really do not want to have the left bracket in this message clobbered so
that the output reads:

@smallexample
   Start of output ["5B"]first run]
@end smallexample

@noindent
In practice brackets encoding is reasonably useful for normal Put_Line use
since we won't get confused between left brackets and wide character
sequences in the output. But for input, or when files are written out
and read back in, it really makes better sense to use one of the standard
encoding methods such as UTF-8.

@end table

@noindent
For the coding schemes other than UTF-8, Hex, or Brackets encoding,
not all wide character
values can be represented.  An attempt to output a character that cannot
be represented using the encoding scheme for the file causes
Constraint_Error to be raised.  An invalid wide character sequence on
input also causes Constraint_Error to be raised.

@subsection Stream Pointer Positioning

@noindent
@code{Ada.Wide_Text_IO} is similar to @code{Ada.Text_IO} in its handling
of stream pointer positioning (@pxref{Text_IO}).  There is one additional
case:

If @code{Ada.Wide_Text_IO.Look_Ahead} reads a character outside the
normal lower ASCII set (i.e.@: a character in the range:

@smallexample @c ada
Wide_Character'Val (16#0080#) .. Wide_Character'Val (16#FFFF#)
@end smallexample

@noindent
then although the logical position of the file pointer is unchanged by
the @code{Look_Ahead} call, the stream is physically positioned past the
wide character sequence.  Again this is to avoid the need for buffering
or backup, and all @code{Wide_Text_IO} routines check the internal
indication that this situation has occurred so that this is not visible
to a normal program using @code{Wide_Text_IO}.  However, this discrepancy
can be observed if the wide text file shares a stream with another file.

@node Wide_Text_IO Reading and Writing Non-Regular Files
@subsection Reading and Writing Non-Regular Files

@noindent
As in the case of Text_IO, when a non-regular file is read, it is
assumed that the file contains no page marks (any form characters are
treated as data characters), and @code{End_Of_Page} always returns
@code{False}.  Similarly, the end of file indication is not sticky, so
it is possible to read beyond an end of file.

@node Wide_Wide_Text_IO

@code{Wide_Wide_Text_IO} is similar in most respects to Text_IO, except that

The encoding methods match those that

The default encoding method for the standard files, and for opened files
for which no WCEM parameter is given in the FORM string matches the
wide character encoding specified for the main program (the default

A wide character is represented using
UCS Transformation Format 8 (UTF-8) as defined in Annex R of ISO

16#010000#-16#10ffff#: 2#11110xxx# 2#10xxxxxx# 2#10xxxxxx# 2#10xxxxxx#
@end smallexample

@noindent
where the @var{xxx} bits correspond to the left-padded bits of the
21-bit character value.  Note that all lower half ASCII characters
are represented as ASCII bytes and all upper half characters and
other wide characters are represented as sequences of upper-half
characters.

@item Brackets Coding
In this encoding, a wide wide character is represented by the following eight
character sequence if is in wide character range

@smallexample
[ " a b c d " ]
@end smallexample

and by the following ten character sequence if not

@smallexample

@noindent
where @code{a}, @code{b}, @code{c}, @code{d}, @code{e}, and @code{f}

characters (using uppercase letters) of the wide wide character code.  For
example, @code{["01A345"]} is used to represent the wide wide character
with code @code{16#01A345#}.

This scheme is compatible with use of the full Wide_Wide_Character set.
On input, brackets coding can also be used for upper half characters,

systems.

@node Shared Files
@section Shared Files

@noindent
Section A.14 of the Ada Reference Manual allows implementations to
provide a wide variety of behavior if an attempt is made to access the
same external file with two or more internal files.

To provide a full range of functionality, while at the same time
minimizing the problems of portability caused by this implementation
dependence, GNAT handles file sharing as follows:

@itemize @bullet
@item
In the absence of a @samp{shared=@var{xxx}} form parameter, an attempt
to open two or more files with the same full name is considered an error
and is not supported.  The exception @code{Use_Error} will be
raised.  Note that a file that is not explicitly closed by the program
remains open until the program terminates.

@item
If the form parameter @samp{shared=no} appears in the form string, the
file can be opened or created with its own separate stream identifier,
regardless of whether other files sharing the same external file are
opened.  The exact effect depends on how the C stream routines handle
multiple accesses to the same external files using separate streams.

@item
If the form parameter @samp{shared=yes} appears in the form string for
each of two or more files opened using the same full name, the same
stream is shared between these files, and the semantics are as described
in Ada Reference Manual, Section A.14.
@end itemize

@noindent
When a program that opens multiple files with the same name is ported
from another Ada compiler to GNAT, the effect will be that
@code{Use_Error} is raised.

The documentation of the original compiler and the documentation of the
program should then be examined to determine if file sharing was
expected, and @samp{shared=@var{xxx}} parameters added to @code{Open}
and @code{Create} calls as required.

When a program is ported from GNAT to some other Ada compiler, no
special attention is required unless the @samp{shared=@var{xxx}} form
parameter is used in the program.  In this case, you must examine the
documentation of the new compiler to see if it supports the required
file sharing semantics, and form strings modified appropriately.  Of
course it may be the case that the program cannot be ported if the
target compiler does not support the required functionality.  The best
approach in writing portable code is to avoid file sharing (and hence
the use of the @samp{shared=@var{xxx}} parameter in the form string)
completely.

One common use of file sharing in Ada 83 is the use of instantiations of
Sequential_IO on the same file with different types, to achieve
heterogeneous input-output.  Although this approach will work in GNAT if
@samp{shared=yes} is specified, it is preferable in Ada to use Stream_IO
for this purpose (using the stream attributes)

@node Filenames encoding
@section Filenames encoding

@noindent
An encoding form parameter can be used to specify the filename
encoding @samp{encoding=@var{xxx}}.

@itemize @bullet
@item
If the form parameter @samp{encoding=utf8} appears in the form string, the
filename must be encoded in UTF-8.

@item
If the form parameter @samp{encoding=8bits} appears in the form
string, the filename must be a standard 8bits string.
@end itemize

In the absence of a @samp{encoding=@var{xxx}} form parameter, the
encoding is controlled by the @samp{GNAT_CODE_PAGE} environment
variable. And if not set @samp{utf8} is assumed.

@table @samp
@item CP_ACP
The current system Windows ANSI code page.
@item CP_UTF8
UTF-8 encoding
@end table

This encoding form parameter is only supported on the Windows
platform. On the other Operating Systems the run-time is supporting
UTF-8 natively.

@node Open Modes
@section Open Modes

@noindent
@code{Open} and @code{Create} calls result in a call to @code{fopen}
using the mode shown in the following table:

@sp 2
@center @code{Open} and @code{Create} Call Modes
@smallexample
                               @b{OPEN }           @b{CREATE}
Append_File                    "r+"             "w+"
In_File                        "r"              "w+"
Out_File (Direct_IO)           "r+"             "w"
Out_File (all other cases)     "w"              "w"
Inout_File                     "r+"             "w+"
@end smallexample

@noindent
If text file translation is required, then either @samp{b} or @samp{t}
is added to the mode, depending on the setting of Text.  Text file
translation refers to the mapping of CR/LF sequences in an external file
to LF characters internally.  This mapping only occurs in DOS and
DOS-like systems, and is not relevant to other systems.

A special case occurs with Stream_IO@.  As shown in the above table, the
file is initially opened in @samp{r} or @samp{w} mode for the
@code{In_File} and @code{Out_File} cases.  If a @code{Set_Mode} operation
subsequently requires switching from reading to writing or vice-versa,
then the file is reopened in @samp{r+} mode to permit the required operation.

@noindent
In each of these six packages, the @code{C_Stream} function obtains the
@code{FILE} pointer from a currently opened Ada file.  It is then
possible to use the @code{Interfaces.C_Streams} package to operate on
this stream, or the stream can be passed to a C program which can
operate on it directly.  Of course the program is responsible for
ensuring that only appropriate sequences of operations are executed.

One particular use of relevance to an Ada program is that the
@code{setvbuf} function can be used to control the buffering of the
stream used by an Ada file.  In the absence of such a call the standard
default buffering is used.

The @code{Open} procedures in these packages open a file giving an
existing C Stream instead of a file name.  Typically this stream is
imported from a C program, allowing an Ada file to operate on an
existing C file.

@node The GNAT Library
@chapter The GNAT Library

@noindent
The GNAT library contains a number of general and special purpose packages.
It represents functionality that the GNAT developers have found useful, and
which is made available to GNAT users.  The packages described here are fully
supported, and upwards compatibility will be maintained in future releases,
so you can use these facilities with the confidence that the same functionality
will be available in future releases.

The chapter here simply gives a brief summary of the facilities available.
The full documentation is found in the spec file for the package.  The full
sources of these library packages, including both spec and body, are provided
with all GNAT releases.  For example, to find out the full specifications of
the SPITBOL pattern matching capability, including a full tutorial and
extensive examples, look in the @file{g-spipat.ads} file in the library.

For each entry here, the package name (as it would appear in a @code{with}
clause) is given, followed by the name of the corresponding spec file in
parentheses.  The packages are children in four hierarchies, @code{Ada},
@code{Interfaces}, @code{System}, and @code{GNAT}, the latter being a
GNAT-specific hierarchy.

Note that an application program should only use packages in one of these
four hierarchies if the package is defined in the Ada Reference Manual,
or is listed in this section of the GNAT Programmers Reference Manual.
All other units should be considered internal implementation units and
should not be directly @code{with}'ed by application code.  The use of
a @code{with} statement that references one of these internal implementation
units makes an application potentially dependent on changes in versions
of GNAT, and will generate a warning message.

This package provides a storage pool that is intended for use with locally
defined access types. It uses malloc/free for allocate/free, and maintains
a list of allocated blocks, so that all storage allocated for the pool can
be freed automatically when the pool is finalized.

The facilities in annex B of the Ada Reference Manual are fully
implemented in GNAT, and in addition, a full interface to C++ is
provided.

@node Interfacing to C
@section Interfacing to C

@noindent
Interfacing to C with GNAT can use one of two approaches:

@itemize @bullet
@item
The types in the package @code{Interfaces.C} may be used.
@item
Standard Ada types may be used directly.  This may be less portable to
other compilers, but will work on all GNAT compilers, which guarantee
correspondence between the C and Ada types.
@end itemize

@noindent
Pragma @code{Convention C} may be applied to Ada types, but mostly has no
effect, since this is the default.  The following table shows the
correspondence between Ada scalar types and the corresponding C types.

@table @code
@item Integer
@code{int}
@item Short_Integer
@code{short}
@item Short_Short_Integer
@code{signed char}
@item Long_Integer
@code{long}
@item Long_Long_Integer
@code{long long}
@item Short_Float
@code{float}
@item Float
@code{float}
@item Long_Float
@code{double}
@item Long_Long_Float
This is the longest floating-point type supported by the hardware.
@end table

@noindent
Additionally, there are the following general correspondences between Ada
and C types:
@itemize @bullet
@item
Ada enumeration types map to C enumeration types directly if pragma
@code{Convention C} is specified, which causes them to have int
length.  Without pragma @code{Convention C}, Ada enumeration types map to
8, 16, or 32 bits (i.e.@: C types @code{signed char}, @code{short},
@code{int}, respectively) depending on the number of values passed.
This is the only case in which pragma @code{Convention C} affects the
representation of an Ada type.

@item
Ada access types map to C pointers, except for the case of pointers to
unconstrained types in Ada, which have no direct C equivalent.

@item
Ada arrays map directly to C arrays.

@item
Ada records map directly to C structures.

@item
Packed Ada records map to C structures where all members are bit fields
of the length corresponding to the @code{@var{type}'Size} value in Ada.
@end itemize

@node Interfacing to C++
@section Interfacing to C++

@noindent
The interface to C++ makes use of the following pragmas, which are
primarily intended to be constructed automatically using a binding generator
tool, although it is possible to construct them by hand.  No suitable binding
generator tool is supplied with GNAT though.

Using these pragmas it is possible to achieve complete
inter-operability between Ada tagged types and C++ class definitions.
See @ref{Implementation Defined Pragmas}, for more details.

@table @code
@item pragma CPP_Class ([Entity =>] @var{LOCAL_NAME})
The argument denotes an entity in the current declarative region that is
declared as a tagged or untagged record type. It indicates that the type
corresponds to an externally declared C++ class type, and is to be laid
out the same way that C++ would lay out the type.

Note: Pragma @code{CPP_Class} is currently obsolete. It is supported
for backward compatibility but its functionality is available
using pragma @code{Import} with @code{Convention} = @code{CPP}.

@item pragma CPP_Constructor ([Entity =>] @var{LOCAL_NAME})
This pragma identifies an imported function (imported in the usual way
with pragma @code{Import}) as corresponding to a C++ constructor.
@end table

@node Interfacing to COBOL
@section Interfacing to COBOL

@noindent
Interfacing to COBOL is achieved as described in section B.4 of
the Ada Reference Manual.

@node Interfacing to Fortran
@section Interfacing to Fortran

@noindent
Interfacing to Fortran is achieved as described in section B.5 of the
Ada Reference Manual.  The pragma @code{Convention Fortran}, applied to a
multi-dimensional array causes the array to be stored in column-major
order as required for convenient interface to Fortran.

@node Interfacing to non-GNAT Ada code
@section Interfacing to non-GNAT Ada code

It is possible to specify the convention @code{Ada} in a pragma
@code{Import} or pragma @code{Export}.  However this refers to
the calling conventions used by GNAT, which may or may not be
similar enough to those used by some other Ada 83 / Ada 95 / Ada 2005
compiler to allow interoperation.

If arguments types are kept simple, and if the foreign compiler generally
follows system calling conventions, then it may be possible to integrate
files compiled by other Ada compilers, provided that the elaboration
issues are adequately addressed (for example by eliminating the
need for any load time elaboration).

In particular, GNAT running on VMS is designed to
be highly compatible with the DEC Ada 83 compiler, so this is one
case in which it is possible to import foreign units of this type,
provided that the data items passed are restricted to simple scalar
values or simple record types without variants, or simple array
types with fixed bounds.

@node Specialized Needs Annexes

@node Machine Code Insertions
@section Machine Code Insertions
@cindex Machine Code insertions

@noindent
Package @code{Machine_Code} provides machine code support as described
in the Ada Reference Manual in two separate forms:
@itemize @bullet
@item
Machine code statements, consisting of qualified expressions that
fit the requirements of RM section 13.8.
@item
An intrinsic callable procedure, providing an alternative mechanism of
including machine instructions in a subprogram.
@end itemize

@noindent
The two features are similar, and both are closely related to the mechanism
provided by the asm instruction in the GNU C compiler.  Full understanding
and use of the facilities in this package requires understanding the asm
instruction, see @ref{Extended Asm,, Assembler Instructions with C Expression
Operands, gcc, Using the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC)}.

Calls to the function @code{Asm} and the procedure @code{Asm} have identical
semantic restrictions and effects as described below.  Both are provided so
that the procedure call can be used as a statement, and the function call
can be used to form a code_statement.

The first example given in the GCC documentation is the C @code{asm}
instruction:
@smallexample
   asm ("fsinx %1 %0" : "=f" (result) : "f" (angle));
@end smallexample

@noindent
The equivalent can be written for GNAT as:

@smallexample @c ada
Asm ("fsinx %1 %0",
     My_Float'Asm_Output ("=f", result),
     My_Float'Asm_Input  ("f",  angle));
@end smallexample

@noindent
The first argument to @code{Asm} is the assembler template, and is
identical to what is used in GNU C@.  This string must be a static
expression.  The second argument is the output operand list.  It is
either a single @code{Asm_Output} attribute reference, or a list of such
references enclosed in parentheses (technically an array aggregate of
such references).

The @code{Asm_Output} attribute denotes a function that takes two
parameters.  The first is a string, the second is the name of a variable
of the type designated by the attribute prefix.  The first (string)
argument is required to be a static expression and designates the
constraint for the parameter (e.g.@: what kind of register is
required).  The second argument is the variable to be updated with the
result.  The possible values for constraint are the same as those used in
the RTL, and are dependent on the configuration file used to build the
GCC back end.  If there are no output operands, then this argument may
either be omitted, or explicitly given as @code{No_Output_Operands}.

The second argument of @code{@var{my_float}'Asm_Output} functions as
though it were an @code{out} parameter, which is a little curious, but
all names have the form of expressions, so there is no syntactic
irregularity, even though normally functions would not be permitted
@code{out} parameters.  The third argument is the list of input
operands.  It is either a single @code{Asm_Input} attribute reference, or
a list of such references enclosed in parentheses (technically an array
aggregate of such references).

The @code{Asm_Input} attribute denotes a function that takes two
parameters.  The first is a string, the second is an expression of the
type designated by the prefix.  The first (string) argument is required
to be a static expression, and is the constraint for the parameter,
(e.g.@: what kind of register is required).  The second argument is the
value to be used as the input argument.  The possible values for the
constant are the same as those used in the RTL, and are dependent on
the configuration file used to built the GCC back end.

If there are no input operands, this argument may either be omitted, or
explicitly given as @code{No_Input_Operands}.  The fourth argument, not
present in the above example, is a list of register names, called the
@dfn{clobber} argument.  This argument, if given, must be a static string
expression, and is a space or comma separated list of names of registers
that must be considered destroyed as a result of the @code{Asm} call.  If
this argument is the null string (the default value), then the code
generator assumes that no additional registers are destroyed.

The fifth argument, not present in the above example, called the
@dfn{volatile} argument, is by default @code{False}.  It can be set to
the literal value @code{True} to indicate to the code generator that all
optimizations with respect to the instruction specified should be
suppressed, and that in particular, for an instruction that has outputs,
the instruction will still be generated, even if none of the outputs are
used.  @xref{Extended Asm,, Assembler Instructions with C Expression Operands,
gcc, Using the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC)}, for the full description.
Generally it is strongly advisable to use Volatile for any ASM statement
that is missing either input or output operands, or when two or more ASM
statements appear in sequence, to avoid unwanted optimizations. A warning
is generated if this advice is not followed.

The @code{Asm} subprograms may be used in two ways.  First the procedure
forms can be used anywhere a procedure call would be valid, and
correspond to what the RM calls ``intrinsic'' routines.  Such calls can
be used to intersperse machine instructions with other Ada statements.
Second, the function forms, which return a dummy value of the limited
private type @code{Asm_Insn}, can be used in code statements, and indeed
this is the only context where such calls are allowed.  Code statements
appear as aggregates of the form:

@smallexample @c ada
Asm_Insn'(Asm (@dots{}));
Asm_Insn'(Asm_Volatile (@dots{}));
@end smallexample

@noindent
In accordance with RM rules, such code statements are allowed only
within subprograms whose entire body consists of such statements.  It is
not permissible to intermix such statements with other Ada statements.

Typically the form using intrinsic procedure calls is more convenient
and more flexible.  The code statement form is provided to meet the RM
suggestion that such a facility should be made available.  The following
is the exact syntax of the call to @code{Asm}. As usual, if named notation
is used, the arguments may be given in arbitrary order, following the
normal rules for use of positional and named arguments)

@smallexample
ASM_CALL ::= Asm (
                 [Template =>] static_string_EXPRESSION
               [,[Outputs  =>] OUTPUT_OPERAND_LIST      ]
               [,[Inputs   =>] INPUT_OPERAND_LIST       ]
               [,[Clobber  =>] static_string_EXPRESSION ]
               [,[Volatile =>] static_boolean_EXPRESSION] )

OUTPUT_OPERAND_LIST ::=

| (INPUT_OPERAND_ATTRIBUTE @{,INPUT_OPERAND_ATTRIBUTE@})

INPUT_OPERAND_ATTRIBUTE ::=
  SUBTYPE_MARK'Asm_Input (static_string_EXPRESSION, EXPRESSION)
@end smallexample

@noindent
The identifiers @code{No_Input_Operands} and @code{No_Output_Operands}
are declared in the package @code{Machine_Code} and must be referenced
according to normal visibility rules. In particular if there is no
@code{use} clause for this package, then appropriate package name
qualification is required.

@node GNAT Implementation of Tasking
@section GNAT Implementation of Tasking

@noindent
This chapter outlines the basic GNAT approach to tasking (in particular,
a multi-layered library for portability) and discusses issues related
to compliance with the Real-Time Systems Annex.

@menu
* Mapping Ada Tasks onto the Underlying Kernel Threads::
* Ensuring Compliance with the Real-Time Annex::
@end menu

@node Mapping Ada Tasks onto the Underlying Kernel Threads
@subsection Mapping Ada Tasks onto the Underlying Kernel Threads

@noindent
GNAT's run-time support comprises two layers:

@itemize @bullet
@item GNARL (GNAT Run-time Layer)
@item GNULL (GNAT Low-level Library)
@end itemize

@noindent
In GNAT, Ada's tasking services rely on a platform and OS independent
layer known as GNARL@.  This code is responsible for implementing the
correct semantics of Ada's task creation, rendezvous, protected
operations etc.

GNARL decomposes Ada's tasking semantics into simpler lower level
operations such as create a thread, set the priority of a thread,
yield, create a lock, lock/unlock, etc.  The spec for these low-level
operations constitutes GNULLI, the GNULL Interface.  This interface is
directly inspired from the POSIX real-time API@.

If the underlying executive or OS implements the POSIX standard
faithfully, the GNULL Interface maps as is to the services offered by
the underlying kernel.  Otherwise, some target dependent glue code maps
the services offered by the underlying kernel to the semantics expected
by GNARL@.

Whatever the underlying OS (VxWorks, UNIX, OS/2, Windows NT, etc.) the
key point is that each Ada task is mapped on a thread in the underlying
kernel.  For example, in the case of VxWorks, one Ada task = one VxWorks task.

In addition Ada task priorities map onto the underlying thread priorities.
Mapping Ada tasks onto the underlying kernel threads has several advantages:

@itemize @bullet
@item
The underlying scheduler is used to schedule the Ada tasks.  This
makes Ada tasks as efficient as kernel threads from a scheduling
standpoint.

@item
Interaction with code written in C containing threads is eased
since at the lowest level Ada tasks and C threads map onto the same
underlying kernel concept.

@item
When an Ada task is blocked during I/O the remaining Ada tasks are
able to proceed.

@item
On multiprocessor systems Ada tasks can execute in parallel.
@end itemize

@noindent
Some threads libraries offer a mechanism to fork a new process, with the
child process duplicating the threads from the parent.
GNAT does not
support this functionality when the parent contains more than one task.
@cindex Forking a new process

@node Ensuring Compliance with the Real-Time Annex
@subsection Ensuring Compliance with the Real-Time Annex
@cindex Real-Time Systems Annex compliance

@noindent
Although mapping Ada tasks onto
the underlying threads has significant advantages, it does create some
complications when it comes to respecting the scheduling semantics
specified in the real-time annex (Annex D).

For instance the Annex D requirement for the @code{FIFO_Within_Priorities}
scheduling policy states:

@quotation
@emph{When the active priority of a ready task that is not running
changes, or the setting of its base priority takes effect, the
task is removed from the ready queue for its old active priority
and is added at the tail of the ready queue for its new active
priority, except in the case where the active priority is lowered
due to the loss of inherited priority, in which case the task is
added at the head of the ready queue for its new active priority.}
@end quotation

@noindent
While most kernels do put tasks at the end of the priority queue when
a task changes its priority, (which respects the main
FIFO_Within_Priorities requirement), almost none keep a thread at the
beginning of its priority queue when its priority drops from the loss
of inherited priority.

As a result most vendors have provided incomplete Annex D implementations.

The GNAT run-time, has a nice cooperative solution to this problem
which ensures that accurate FIFO_Within_Priorities semantics are
respected.

The principle is as follows.  When an Ada task T is about to start
running, it checks whether some other Ada task R with the same
priority as T has been suspended due to the loss of priority
inheritance.  If this is the case, T yields and is placed at the end of
its priority queue.  When R arrives at the front of the queue it
executes.

Note that this simple scheme preserves the relative order of the tasks
that were ready to execute in the priority queue where R has been
placed at the end.

@node GNAT Implementation of Shared Passive Packages
@section GNAT Implementation of Shared Passive Packages
@cindex Shared passive packages

@noindent
GNAT fully implements the pragma @code{Shared_Passive} for
@cindex pragma @code{Shared_Passive}
the purpose of designating shared passive packages.
This allows the use of passive partitions in the
context described in the Ada Reference Manual; i.e., for communication
between separate partitions of a distributed application using the
features in Annex E.
@cindex Annex E
@cindex Distribution Systems Annex

However, the implementation approach used by GNAT provides for more
extensive usage as follows:

@table @emph
@item Communication between separate programs

This allows separate programs to access the data in passive
partitions, using protected objects for synchronization where
needed. The only requirement is that the two programs have a
common shared file system. It is even possible for programs
running on different machines with different architectures
(e.g.@: different endianness) to communicate via the data in
a passive partition.

@item Persistence between program runs

The data in a passive package can persist from one run of a
program to another, so that a later program sees the final
values stored by a previous run of the same program.

@end table

@noindent
The implementation approach used is to store the data in files. A
separate stream file is created for each object in the package, and
an access to an object causes the corresponding file to be read or
written.

The environment variable @code{SHARED_MEMORY_DIRECTORY} should be
@cindex @code{SHARED_MEMORY_DIRECTORY} environment variable
set to the directory to be used for these files.
The files in this directory
have names that correspond to their fully qualified names. For
example, if we have the package

@smallexample @c ada
package X is
  pragma Shared_Passive (X);
  Y : Integer;
  Z : Float;
end X;
@end smallexample

@noindent
and the environment variable is set to @code{/stemp/}, then the files created
will have the names:

@smallexample
/stemp/x.y
/stemp/x.z
@end smallexample

@noindent
These files are created when a value is initially written to the object, and
the files are retained until manually deleted. This provides the persistence
semantics. If no file exists, it means that no partition has assigned a value
to the variable; in this case the initial value declared in the package
will be used. This model ensures that there are no issues in synchronizing
the elaboration process, since elaboration of passive packages elaborates the
initial values, but does not create the files.

The files are written using normal @code{Stream_IO} access.
If you want to be able
to communicate between programs or partitions running on different
architectures, then you should use the XDR versions of the stream attribute
routines, since these are architecture independent.

If active synchronization is required for access to the variables in the
shared passive package, then as described in the Ada Reference Manual, the
package may contain protected objects used for this purpose. In this case
a lock file (whose name is @file{___lock} (three underscores)
is created in the shared memory directory.
@cindex @file{___lock} file (for shared passive packages)
This is used to provide the required locking
semantics for proper protected object synchronization.

As of January 2003, GNAT supports shared passive packages on all platforms
except for OpenVMS.

@node Code Generation for Array Aggregates
@section Code Generation for Array Aggregates

@menu
* Static constant aggregates with static bounds::
* Constant aggregates with unconstrained nominal types::
* Aggregates with static bounds::
* Aggregates with non-static bounds::
* Aggregates in assignment statements::
@end menu

@noindent
Aggregates have a rich syntax and allow the user to specify the values of
complex data structures by means of a single construct.  As a result, the
code generated for aggregates can be quite complex and involve loops, case
statements and multiple assignments.  In the simplest cases, however, the
compiler will recognize aggregates whose components and constraints are
fully static, and in those cases the compiler will generate little or no
executable code.  The following is an outline of the code that GNAT generates
for various aggregate constructs.  For further details, you will find it
useful to examine the output produced by the -gnatG flag to see the expanded
source that is input to the code generator.  You may also want to examine
the assembly code generated at various levels of optimization.

The code generated for aggregates depends on the context, the component values,
and the type.  In the context of an object declaration the code generated is
generally simpler than in the case of an assignment.  As a general rule, static
component values and static subtypes also lead to simpler code.

@node Static constant aggregates with static bounds
@subsection Static constant aggregates with static bounds

@noindent
For the declarations:
@smallexample @c ada
    type One_Dim is array (1..10) of integer;
    ar0 : constant One_Dim := (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0);
@end smallexample

@noindent
GNAT generates no executable code: the constant ar0 is placed in static memory.
The same is true for constant aggregates with named associations:

@smallexample @c ada
    Cr1 : constant One_Dim := (4 => 16, 2 => 4, 3 => 9, 1 => 1, 5 .. 10 => 0);
    Cr3 : constant One_Dim := (others => 7777);
@end smallexample

@noindent
The same is true for multidimensional constant arrays such as:

@smallexample @c ada
    type two_dim is array (1..3, 1..3) of integer;
    Unit : constant two_dim := ( (1,0,0), (0,1,0), (0,0,1));
@end smallexample

@noindent
The same is true for arrays of one-dimensional arrays: the following are
static:

@smallexample @c ada
type ar1b  is array (1..3) of boolean;
type ar_ar is array (1..3) of ar1b;
None  : constant ar1b := (others => false);     --  fully static
None2 : constant ar_ar := (1..3 => None);       --  fully static
@end smallexample

@noindent
However, for multidimensional aggregates with named associations, GNAT will
generate assignments and loops, even if all associations are static.  The
following two declarations generate a loop for the first dimension, and
individual component assignments for the second dimension:

@smallexample @c ada
Zero1: constant two_dim := (1..3 => (1..3 => 0));
Zero2: constant two_dim := (others => (others => 0));
@end smallexample

@node Constant aggregates with unconstrained nominal types
@subsection Constant aggregates with unconstrained nominal types

@noindent
In such cases the aggregate itself establishes the subtype, so that
associations with @code{others} cannot be used.  GNAT determines the
bounds for the actual subtype of the aggregate, and allocates the
aggregate statically as well.  No code is generated for the following:

@smallexample @c ada
    type One_Unc is array (natural range <>) of integer;
    Cr_Unc : constant One_Unc := (12,24,36);
@end smallexample

@node Aggregates with static bounds
@subsection Aggregates with static bounds

@noindent
In all previous examples the aggregate was the initial (and immutable) value
of a constant.  If the aggregate initializes a variable, then code is generated
for it as a combination of individual assignments and loops over the target
object.  The declarations

@smallexample @c ada
       Cr_Var1 : One_Dim := (2, 5, 7, 11, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);
       Cr_Var2 : One_Dim := (others > -1);
@end smallexample

@noindent
generate the equivalent of

@smallexample @c ada
       Cr_Var1 (1) := 2;
       Cr_Var1 (2) := 3;
       Cr_Var1 (3) := 5;
       Cr_Var1 (4) := 11;

       for I in Cr_Var2'range loop
          Cr_Var2 (I) := -1;
       end loop;
@end smallexample

@node Aggregates with non-static bounds
@subsection Aggregates with non-static bounds

@noindent
If the bounds of the aggregate are not statically compatible with the bounds
of the nominal subtype  of the target, then constraint checks have to be
generated on the bounds.  For a multidimensional array, constraint checks may
have to be applied to sub-arrays individually, if they do not have statically
compatible subtypes.

@subsection Aggregates in assignment statements

In general, aggregate assignment requires the construction of a temporary,
and a copy from the temporary to the target of the assignment.  This is because
it is not always possible to convert the assignment into a series of individual
component assignments.  For example, consider the simple case:

@smallexample @c ada
        A := (A(2), A(1));
@end smallexample

@noindent
This cannot be converted into:

@smallexample @c ada
        A(1) := A(2);
        A(2) := A(1);
@end smallexample

@noindent
So the aggregate has to be built first in a separate location, and then
copied into the target.  GNAT recognizes simple cases where this intermediate
step is not required, and the assignments can be performed in place, directly
into the target.  The following sufficient criteria are applied:

@itemize @bullet
@item
The bounds of the aggregate are static, and the associations are static.
@item
The components of the aggregate are static constants, names of
simple variables that are not renamings, or expressions not involving
indexed components whose operands obey these rules.
@end itemize

@noindent
If any of these conditions are violated, the aggregate will be built in
a temporary (created either by the front-end or the code generator) and then
that temporary will be copied onto the target.

@node The Size of Discriminated Records with Default Discriminants
@section The Size of Discriminated Records with Default Discriminants

@noindent
If a discriminated type @code{T} has discriminants with default values, it is
possible to declare an object of this type without providing an explicit
constraint:

@smallexample @c ada
@group
type Size is range 1..100;

type Rec (D : Size := 15) is record
   Name : String (1..D);
end T;

Word : Rec;
@end group
@end smallexample

@noindent
Such an object is said to be @emph{unconstrained}.
The discriminant of the object
can be modified by a full assignment to the object, as long as it preserves the
relation between the value of the discriminant, and the value of the components
that depend on it:

@smallexample @c ada
@group
Word := (3, "yes");

Word := (5, "maybe");

Word := (5, "no"); -- raises Constraint_Error
@end group
@end smallexample

@noindent
In order to support this behavior efficiently, an unconstrained object is
given the maximum size that any value of the type requires. In the case
above, @code{Word} has storage for the discriminant and for
a @code{String} of length 100.
It is important to note that unconstrained objects do not require dynamic
allocation. It would be an improper implementation to place on the heap those
components whose size depends on discriminants. (This improper implementation
was used by some Ada83 compilers, where the @code{Name} component above
would have
been stored as a pointer to a dynamic string). Following the principle that
dynamic storage management should never be introduced implicitly,
an Ada compiler should reserve the full size for an unconstrained declared
object, and place it on the stack.

This maximum size approach
has been a source of surprise to some users, who expect the default
values of the discriminants to determine the size reserved for an
unconstrained object: ``If the default is 15, why should the object occupy
a larger size?''
The answer, of course, is that the discriminant may be later modified,
and its full range of values must be taken into account. This is why the
declaration:

@smallexample
@group
type Rec (D : Positive := 15) is record
   Name : String (1..D);
end record;

Too_Large : Rec;
@end group
@end smallexample

@noindent
is flagged by the compiler with a warning:
an attempt to create @code{Too_Large} will raise @code{Storage_Error},
because the required size includes @code{Positive'Last}
bytes. As the first example indicates, the proper approach is to declare an
index type of ``reasonable'' range so that unconstrained objects are not too
large.

One final wrinkle: if the object is declared to be @code{aliased}, or if it is
created in the heap by means of an allocator, then it is @emph{not}
unconstrained:
it is constrained by the default values of the discriminants, and those values
cannot be modified by full assignment. This is because in the presence of
aliasing all views of the object (which may be manipulated by different tasks,
say) must be consistent, so it is imperative that the object, once created,
remain invariant.

@node Strict Conformance to the Ada Reference Manual
@section Strict Conformance to the Ada Reference Manual

@noindent
The dynamic semantics defined by the Ada Reference Manual impose a set of
run-time checks to be generated. By default, the GNAT compiler will insert many
run-time checks into the compiled code, including most of those required by the
Ada Reference Manual. However, there are three checks that are not enabled
in the default mode for efficiency reasons: arithmetic overflow checking for
integer operations (including division by zero), checks for access before
elaboration on subprogram calls, and stack overflow checking (most operating
systems do not perform this check by default).

Strict conformance to the Ada Reference Manual can be achieved by adding
three compiler options for overflow checking for integer operations
(@option{-gnato}), dynamic checks for access-before-elaboration on subprogram
calls and generic instantiations (@option{-gnatE}), and stack overflow
checking (@option{-fstack-check}).

Note that the result of a floating point arithmetic operation in overflow and
invalid situations, when the @code{Machine_Overflows} attribute of the result
type is @code{False}, is to generate IEEE NaN and infinite values. This is the
case for machines compliant with the IEEE floating-point standard, but on
machines that are not fully compliant with this standard, such as Alpha, the
@option{-mieee} compiler flag must be used for achieving IEEE confirming
behavior (although at the cost of a significant performance penalty), so
infinite and and NaN values are properly generated.

@node Reserved Words
@section Reserved Words

@noindent
All Ada reserved words are reserved in project files, and cannot be used
as variable names or project names. In addition, the following are
also reserved in project files:

@itemize
@item @code{extends}

@item @code{external}

@item @code{project}

@end itemize

@node Lexical Elements
@section Lexical Elements

@noindent
Rules for identifiers are the same as in Ada. Identifiers
are case-insensitive.  Strings are case sensitive, except where noted.
Comments have the same form as in Ada.

@noindent
Syntax:

@smallexample
simple_name ::=
  identifier

name ::=
  simple_name @{. simple_name@}
@end smallexample

@node Declarations
@section Declarations

@noindent
Declarations introduce new entities that denote types, variables, attributes,
and packages. Some declarations can only appear immediately within a project
declaration. Others can appear within a project or within a package.

Syntax:
@smallexample
declarative_item ::=
  simple_declarative_item |
  typed_string_declaration |
  package_declaration

simple_declarative_item ::=
  variable_declaration |
  typed_variable_declaration |
  attribute_declaration |
  case_construction |
  empty_declaration
@end smallexample

@node Empty declarations
@section Empty declarations

@smallexample
empty_declaration ::=
  @b{null} ;
@end smallexample

An empty declaration is allowed anywhere a declaration is allowed.
It has no effect.

@node Typed string declarations
@section Typed string declarations

@noindent
Typed strings are sequences of string literals. Typed strings are the only
named types in project files. They are used in case constructions, where they
provide support for conditional attribute definitions.

Syntax:
@smallexample
typed_string_declaration ::=
  @b{type} <typed_string_>_simple_name @b{is}
   ( string_literal @{, string_literal@} );
@end smallexample

@noindent
A typed string declaration can only appear immediately within a project
declaration.

All the string literals in a typed string declaration must be distinct.

@node Variables
@section Variables

@noindent
Variables denote values, and appear as constituents of expressions.

@smallexample
typed_variable_declaration ::=
  <typed_variable_>simple_name : <typed_string_>name :=  string_expression ;

variable_declaration ::=
  <variable_>simple_name := expression;
@end smallexample

@noindent
The elaboration of a variable declaration introduces the variable and
assigns to it the value of the expression. The name of the variable is
available after the assignment symbol.

@noindent
A typed_variable can only be declare once.

@noindent
a non-typed variable can be declared multiple times.

@noindent
Before the completion of its first declaration, the value of variable
is the null string.

@node Expressions
@section Expressions

@noindent
An expression is a formula that defines a computation or retrieval of a value.
In a project file the value of an expression is either a string or a list
of strings. A string value in an expression is either a literal, the current
value of a variable, an external value, an attribute reference, or a
concatenation operation.

Syntax:

@smallexample
expression ::=
  term @{& term@}

term ::=
  string_literal |
  string_list |
  <variable_>name |
  external_value |
  attribute_reference

string_literal ::=
  (same as Ada)

string_list ::=
  ( <string_>expression @{ , <string_>expression @} )
@end smallexample

@subsection Concatenation
@noindent
The following concatenation functions are defined:

@smallexample @c ada
  function "&" (X : String;      Y : String)      return String;
  function "&" (X : String_List; Y : String)      return String_List;
  function "&" (X : String_List; Y : String_List) return String_List;
@end smallexample

@node Attributes
@section Attributes

@noindent
An attribute declaration defines a property of a project or package. This
property can later be queried by means of an attribute reference.
Attribute values are strings or string lists.

Some attributes are associative arrays. These attributes are mappings whose
domain is a set of strings. These attributes are declared one association
at a time, by specifying a point in the domain and the corresponding image
of the attribute. They may also be declared as a full associative array,
getting the same associations as the corresponding attribute in an imported
or extended project.

Attributes that are not associative arrays are called simple attributes.

Syntax:
@smallexample
attribute_declaration ::=
  full_associative_array_declaration |
  @b{for} attribute_designator @b{use} expression ;

full_associative_array_declaration ::=
  @b{for} <associative_array_attribute_>simple_name @b{use}
  <project_>simple_name [ . <package_>simple_Name ] ' <attribute_>simple_name ;

attribute_designator ::=
  <simple_attribute_>simple_name |
  <associative_array_attribute_>simple_name ( string_literal )
@end smallexample

@noindent
Some attributes are project-specific, and can only appear immediately within
a project declaration. Others are package-specific, and can only appear within
the proper package.

The expression in an attribute definition must be a string or a string_list.
The string literal appearing in the attribute_designator of an associative
array attribute is case-insensitive.

@node Project Attributes
@section Project Attributes

@noindent
The following attributes apply to a project. All of them are simple
attributes.

@table @code
@item   Object_Dir
Expression must be a path name. The attribute defines the
directory in which the object files created by the build are to be placed. If
not specified, object files are placed in the project directory.

@item   Exec_Dir
Expression must be a path name. The attribute defines the
directory in which the executables created by the build are to be placed.
If not specified, executables are placed in the object directory.

@item  Source_Dirs
Expression must be a list of path names. The attribute
defines the directories in which the source files for the project are to be
found. If not specified, source files are found in the project directory.
If a string in the list ends with "/**", then the directory that precedes
"/**" and all of its subdirectories (recursively) are included in the list
of source directories.

@item  Excluded_Source_Dirs
Expression must be a list of strings. Each entry designates a directory that
is not to be included in the list of source directories of the project.
This is normally used when there are strings ending with "/**" in the value
of attribute Source_Dirs.

@item  Source_Files
Expression must be a list of file names. The attribute
defines the individual files, in the project directory, which are to be used
as sources for the project. File names are path_names that contain no directory
information. If the project has no sources the attribute must be declared
explicitly with an empty list.

@item  Excluded_Source_Files (Locally_Removed_Files)
Expression must be a list of strings that are legal file names.
Each file name must designate a source that would normally be a source file
in the source directories of the project or, if the project file is an
extending project file, inherited by the current project file. It cannot
designate an immediate source that is not inherited. Each of the source files
in the list are not considered to be sources of the project file: they are not
inherited. Attribute Locally_Removed_Files is obsolescent, attribute
Excluded_Source_Files is preferred.

@item  Source_List_File
Expression must a single path name. The attribute
defines a text file that contains a list of source file names to be used
as sources for the project

@item  Library_Dir
Expression must be a path name. The attribute defines the
directory in which a  library is to be built.  The directory must exist, must
be distinct from the project's object directory, and must be writable.

@item  Library_Name
Expression must be a string that is a legal file name,
without extension. The attribute defines a string that is used to generate
the name of the library to be built by the project.

@item  Library_Kind
Argument must be a string value that must be one of the
following @code{"static"}, @code{"dynamic"} or @code{"relocatable"}. This
string is case-insensitive. If this attribute is not specified, the library is
a static library. Otherwise, the library may be dynamic or relocatable. This
distinction is operating-system dependent.

@item  Library_Version
Expression must be a string value whose interpretation
is platform dependent. On UNIX, it is used only for dynamic/relocatable
libraries as the internal name of the library (the @code{"soname"}). If the
library file name (built from the @code{Library_Name}) is different from the
@code{Library_Version}, then the library file will be a symbolic link to the
actual file whose name will be @code{Library_Version}.

@item Library_Interface
Expression must be a string list. Each element of the string list
must designate a unit of the project.
If this attribute is present in a Library Project File, then the project
file is a Stand-alone Library_Project_File.

@item Library_Auto_Init
Expression must be a single string "true" or "false", case-insensitive.
If this attribute is present in a Stand-alone Library Project File,
it indicates if initialization is automatic when the dynamic library
is loaded.

@item Library_Options
Expression must be a string list. Indicates additional switches that
are to be used when building a shared library.

@item Library_GCC
Expression must be a single string. Designates an alternative to "gcc"
for building shared libraries.

@item  Library_Src_Dir
Expression must be a path name. The attribute defines the
directory in which the sources of the interfaces of a Stand-alone Library will
be copied.  The directory must exist, must be distinct from the project's
object directory and source directories of all projects in the project tree,
and must be writable.

@item  Library_ALI_Dir
Expression must be a path name. The attribute defines the
directory in which the ALI files of a Library will
be copied.  The directory must exist, must be distinct from the project's
object directory and source directories of all projects in the project tree,
and must be writable.

@item  Library_Symbol_File
Expression must be a single string. Its value is the single file name of a
symbol file to be created when building a stand-alone library when the
symbol policy is either "compliant", "controlled" or "restricted",
on platforms that support symbol control, such as VMS. When symbol policy
is "direct", then a file with this name must exist in the object directory.

@item   Library_Reference_Symbol_File
Expression must be a single string. Its value is the path name of a
reference symbol file that is read when the symbol policy is either
"compliant" or "controlled", on platforms that support symbol control,
such as VMS, when building a stand-alone library. The path may be an absolute
path or a path relative to the project directory.

@item  Library_Symbol_Policy
Expression must be a single string. Its case-insensitive value can only be
"autonomous", "default", "compliant", "controlled", "restricted" or "direct".

This attribute is not taken into account on all platforms. It controls the
policy for exported symbols and, on some platforms (like VMS) that have the
notions of major and minor IDs built in the library files, it controls
the setting of these IDs.

"autonomous" or "default": exported symbols are not controlled.

"compliant": if attribute Library_Reference_Symbol_File is not defined, then
it is equivalent to policy "autonomous". If there are exported symbols in
the reference symbol file that are not in the object files of the interfaces,
the major ID of the library is increased. If there are symbols in the
object files of the interfaces that are not in the reference symbol file,
these symbols are put at the end of the list in the newly created symbol file
and the minor ID is increased.

"controlled": the attribute Library_Reference_Symbol_File must be defined.
The library will fail to build if the exported symbols in the object files of
the interfaces do not match exactly the symbol in the symbol file.

"restricted": The attribute Library_Symbol_File must be defined. The library
will fail to build if there are symbols in the symbol file that are not in
the exported symbols of the object files of the interfaces. Additional symbols
in the object files are not added to the symbol file.

"direct": The attribute Library_Symbol_File must be defined and must designate
an existing file in the object directory. This symbol file is passed directly
to the underlying linker without any symbol processing.

@item  Main
Expression must be a list of strings that are legal file names.
These file names designate existing compilation units in the source directory
that are legal main subprograms.

When a project file is elaborated, as part of the execution of a gnatmake
command, one or several executables are built and placed in the Exec_Dir.
If the gnatmake command does not include explicit file names, the executables
that are built correspond to the files specified by this attribute.

@item  Externally_Built
Expression must be a single string. Its value must be either "true" of "false",
case-insensitive. The default is "false". When the value of this attribute is
"true", no attempt is made to compile the sources or to build the library,
when the project is a library project.

@item Main_Language
This is a simple attribute. Its value is a string that specifies the
language of the main program.

@item  Languages
Expression must be a string list. Each string designates
a programming language that is known to GNAT. The strings are case-insensitive.

@end table

@node Attribute References
@section Attribute References

@noindent
Attribute references are used to retrieve the value of previously defined
attribute for a package or project.
Syntax:
@smallexample
attribute_reference ::=
  attribute_prefix ' <simple_attribute_>simple_name [ ( string_literal ) ]

attribute_prefix ::=
  @b{project} |
  <project_simple_name | package_identifier |
  <project_>simple_name . package_identifier
@end smallexample

@noindent
If an attribute has not been specified for a given package or project, its
value is the null string or the empty list.

@node External Values
@section External Values

@noindent
An external value is an expression whose value is obtained from the command
that invoked the processing of the current project file (typically a
gnatmake command).

Syntax:
@smallexample
external_value ::=
  @b{external} ( string_literal [, string_literal] )
@end smallexample

@noindent
The first string_literal is the string to be used on the command line or
in the environment to specify the external value. The second string_literal,
if present, is the default to use if there is no specification for this
external value either on the command line or in the environment.

@node Case Construction
@section Case Construction

@noindent
A case construction supports attribute and variable declarations that depend
on the value of a previously declared variable.

Syntax:
@smallexample
case_construction ::=
  @b{case} <typed_variable_>name @b{is}
    @{case_item@}
  @b{end case} ;

case_item ::=
  @b{when} discrete_choice_list =>
    @{case_construction |
      attribute_declaration |
      variable_declaration |
      empty_declaration@}

discrete_choice_list ::=
  string_literal @{| string_literal@} |
    @b{others}
@end smallexample

@noindent
Inside a case construction, variable declarations must be for variables that
have already been declared before the case construction.

All choices in a choice list must be distinct. The choice lists of two
distinct alternatives must be disjoint. Unlike Ada, the choice lists of all
alternatives do not need to include all values of the type. An @code{others}
choice must appear last in the list of alternatives.

@node Packages
@section Packages

@noindent
A package provides a grouping of variable declarations and attribute
declarations to be used when invoking various GNAT tools. The name of
the package indicates the tool(s) to which it applies.
Syntax:

@smallexample
package_declaration ::=
  package_spec | package_renaming

package_spec ::=
  @b{package} package_identifier @b{is}
    @{simple_declarative_item@}
  @b{end} package_identifier ;

package_identifier ::=
  @code{Naming} | @code{Builder} | @code{Compiler} | @code{Binder} |
  @code{Linker} | @code{Finder}  | @code{Cross_Reference} |
  @code{gnatls} | @code{IDE}     | @code{Pretty_Printer} | @code{Check}
@end smallexample

@subsection Package Naming

@noindent
The attributes of a @code{Naming} package specifies the naming conventions
that apply to the source files in a project. When invoking other GNAT tools,
they will use the sources in the source directories that satisfy these
naming conventions.

The following attributes apply to a @code{Naming} package:

@table @code
@item Casing
This is a simple attribute whose value is a string. Legal values of this
string are @code{"lowercase"}, @code{"uppercase"} or @code{"mixedcase"}.
These strings are themselves case insensitive.

@noindent
If @code{Casing} is not specified, then the default is @code{"lowercase"}.

@item Dot_Replacement
This is a simple attribute whose string value satisfies the following
requirements:

@itemize @bullet
@item It must not be empty
@item It cannot start or end with an alphanumeric character
@item It cannot be a single underscore
@item It cannot start with an underscore followed by an alphanumeric
@item It cannot contain a dot @code{'.'} if longer than one character
@end itemize

@noindent
If @code{Dot_Replacement} is not specified, then the default is @code{"-"}.

@item Spec_Suffix
This is an associative array attribute, defined on language names,
whose image is a string that must satisfy the following
conditions:

@itemize @bullet
@item It must not be empty
@item It cannot start with an alphanumeric character
@item It cannot start with an underscore followed by an alphanumeric character
@end itemize

@noindent
For Ada, the attribute denotes the suffix used in file names that contain
library unit declarations, that is to say units that are package and
subprogram declarations. If @code{Spec_Suffix ("Ada")} is not
specified, then the default is @code{".ads"}.

For C and C++, the attribute denotes the suffix used in file names that
contain prototypes.

@item Body_Suffix
This is an associative array attribute defined on language names,
whose image is a string that must satisfy the following
conditions:

@itemize @bullet
@item It must not be empty
@item It cannot start with an alphanumeric character
@item It cannot start with an underscore followed by an alphanumeric character
@item It cannot be a suffix of @code{Spec_Suffix}
@end itemize

@noindent
For Ada, the attribute denotes the suffix used in file names that contain
library bodies, that is to say units that are package and subprogram bodies.
If @code{Body_Suffix ("Ada")} is not specified, then the default is
@code{".adb"}.

For C and C++, the attribute denotes the suffix used in file names that contain
source code.

@item Separate_Suffix
This is a simple attribute whose value satisfies the same conditions as
@code{Body_Suffix}.

This attribute is specific to Ada. It denotes the suffix used in file names
that contain separate bodies. If it is not specified, then it defaults to same
value as @code{Body_Suffix ("Ada")}.

@item Spec
This is an associative array attribute, specific to Ada, defined over
compilation unit names. The image is a string that is the name of the file
that contains that library unit. The file name is case sensitive if the
conventions of the host operating system require it.

@item Body
This is an associative array attribute, specific to Ada, defined over
compilation unit names. The image is a string that is the name of the file
that contains the library unit body for the named unit. The file name is case
sensitive if the conventions of the host operating system require it.

@item Specification_Exceptions
This is an associative array attribute defined on language names,
whose value is a list of strings.

This attribute is not significant for Ada.

For C and C++, each string in the list denotes the name of a file that
contains prototypes, but whose suffix is not necessarily the
@code{Spec_Suffix} for the language.

@item Implementation_Exceptions
This is an associative array attribute defined on language names,
whose value is a list of strings.

This attribute is not significant for Ada.

For C and C++, each string in the list denotes the name of a file that
contains source code, but whose suffix is not necessarily the
@code{Body_Suffix} for the language.
@end table

The following attributes of package @code{Naming} are obsolescent. They are
kept as synonyms of other attributes for compatibility with previous versions
of the Project Manager.

@table @code
@item Specification_Suffix
This is a synonym of @code{Spec_Suffix}.

@item Implementation_Suffix
This is a synonym of @code{Body_Suffix}.

@item Specification
This is a synonym of @code{Spec}.

@item Implementation
This is a synonym of @code{Body}.
@end table

@subsection package Compiler

@noindent
The attributes of the @code{Compiler} package specify the compilation options
to be used by the underlying compiler.

@table @code
@item  Default_Switches
This is an associative array attribute. Its
domain is a set of language names. Its range is a string list that
specifies the compilation options to be used when compiling a component
written in that language, for which no file-specific switches have been
specified.

@item  Switches
This is an associative array attribute. Its domain is
a set of file names. Its range is a string list that specifies the
compilation options to be used when compiling the named file. If a file
is not specified in the Switches attribute, it is compiled with the
options specified by Default_Switches of its language, if defined.

@item  Local_Configuration_Pragmas.
This is a simple attribute, whose
value is a path name that designates a file containing configuration pragmas
to be used for all invocations of the compiler for immediate sources of the
project.
@end table

@subsection package Builder

@noindent
The attributes of package @code{Builder} specify the compilation, binding, and
linking options to be used when building an executable for a project. The
following attributes apply to package @code{Builder}:

@table @code
@item Default_Switches
This is an associative array attribute. Its
domain is a set of language names. Its range is a string list that
specifies options to be used when building a main
written in that language, for which no file-specific switches have been
specified.

@item Switches
This is an associative array attribute. Its domain is
a set of file names. Its range is a string list that specifies
options to be used when building the named main file. If a main file
is not specified in the Switches attribute, it is built with the
options specified by Default_Switches of its language, if defined.

@item Global_Configuration_Pragmas
This is a simple attribute, whose
value is a path name that designates a file that contains configuration pragmas
to be used in every build of an executable. If both local and global
configuration pragmas are specified, a compilation makes use of both sets.

@item Executable
This is an associative array attribute. Its domain is
a set of main source file names. Its range is a simple string that specifies
the executable file name to be used when linking the specified main source.
If a main source is not specified in the Executable attribute, the executable
file name is deducted from the main source file name.
This attribute has no effect if its value is the empty string.

@item Executable_Suffix
This is a simple attribute whose value is the suffix to be added to
the executables that don't have an attribute Executable specified.
@end table

@subsection package Gnatls

@noindent
The attributes of package @code{Gnatls} specify the tool options to be used
when invoking the library browser @command{gnatls}.
The following attributes apply to package @code{Gnatls}:

@table @code
@item Switches
This is a single attribute with a string list value. Each nonempty string
in the list is an option when invoking @code{gnatls}.
@end table

@subsection package Binder

@noindent
The attributes of package @code{Binder} specify the options to be used
when invoking the binder in the construction of an executable.

@end table

@node Package Renamings
@section Package Renamings

@noindent
A package can be defined by a renaming declaration. The new package renames
a package declared in a different project file, and has the same attributes
as the package it renames.
Syntax:
@smallexample
package_renaming ::==
  @b{package} package_identifier @b{renames}
       <project_>simple_name.package_identifier ;
@end smallexample

@noindent
The package_identifier of the renamed package must be the same as the
package_identifier. The project whose name is the prefix of the renamed
package must contain a package declaration with this name. This project
must appear in the context_clause of the enclosing project declaration,
or be the parent project of the enclosing child project.

@node Projects
@section Projects

@noindent
A project file specifies a set of rules for constructing a software system.
A project file can be self-contained, or depend on other project files.
Dependencies are expressed through a context clause that names other projects.

Syntax:

@smallexample
project ::=
  context_clause project_declaration

project_declaration ::=
  simple_project_declaration | project_extension

simple_project_declaration ::=
  @b{project} <project_>simple_name @b{is}
    @{declarative_item@}
  @b{end} <project_>simple_name;

context_clause ::=
  @{with_clause@}

with_clause ::=
  [@b{limited}] @b{with} path_name @{ , path_name @} ;

path_name ::=
   string_literal
@end smallexample

@noindent
A path name denotes a project file. A path name can be absolute or relative.
An absolute path name includes a sequence of directories, in the syntax of
the host operating system, that identifies uniquely the project file in the
file system. A relative path name identifies the project file, relative
to the directory that contains the current project, or relative to a
directory listed in the environment variable ADA_PROJECT_PATH.
Path names are case sensitive if file names in the host operating system
are case sensitive.

The syntax of the environment variable ADA_PROJECT_PATH is a list of
directory names separated by colons (semicolons on Windows).

A given project name can appear only once in a context_clause.

It is illegal for a project imported by a context clause to refer, directly
or indirectly, to the project in which this context clause appears (the
dependency graph cannot contain cycles), except when one of the with_clause
in the cycle is a @code{limited with}.

@node Project Extensions
@section Project Extensions

@noindent
A project extension introduces a new project, which inherits the declarations
of another project.
Syntax:
@smallexample

project_extension ::=
  @b{project} <project_>simple_name  @b{extends} path_name @b{is}
    @{declarative_item@}
  @b{end} <project_>simple_name;
@end smallexample

@noindent
The project extension declares a child project. The child project inherits
all the declarations and all the files of the parent project, These inherited
declaration can be overridden in the child project, by means of suitable
declarations.

@node Project File Elaboration
@section Project File Elaboration

@noindent
A project file is processed as part of the invocation of a gnat tool that
uses the project option. Elaboration of the process file consists in the
sequential elaboration of all its declarations. The computed values of
attributes and variables in the project are then used to establish the
environment in which the gnat tool will execute.

@node Obsolescent Features
@chapter Obsolescent Features

@noindent
This chapter describes features that are provided by GNAT, but are
considered obsolescent since there are preferred ways of achieving
the same effect. These features are provided solely for historical
compatibility purposes.

@menu
* pragma No_Run_Time::
* pragma Ravenscar::
* pragma Restricted_Run_Time::
@end menu

@node pragma No_Run_Time
@section pragma No_Run_Time

The pragma @code{No_Run_Time} is used to achieve an affect similar
to the use of the "Zero Foot Print" configurable run time, but without
requiring a specially configured run time. The result of using this
pragma, which must be used for all units in a partition, is to restrict
the use of any language features requiring run-time support code. The
preferred usage is to use an appropriately configured run-time that
includes just those features that are to be made accessible.

@node pragma Ravenscar
@section pragma Ravenscar

The pragma @code{Ravenscar} has exactly the same effect as pragma
@code{Profile (Ravenscar)}. The latter usage is preferred since it
is part of the new Ada 2005 standard.

@node pragma Restricted_Run_Time
@section pragma Restricted_Run_Time

The pragma @code{Restricted_Run_Time} has exactly the same effect as
pragma @code{Profile (Restricted)}. The latter usage is
preferred since the Ada 2005 pragma @code{Profile} is intended for
this kind of implementation dependent addition.
