--  This package provides an interface for raising predefined exceptions with
--  an exception message. It can be used from Pure units. This unit is for
--  internal use only, it is not generally available to applications.

pragma Compiler_Unit;

package System.Pure_Exceptions is
   pragma Pure;

   type Exception_Type is limited null record;
   --  Type used to specify which exception to raise

   --  Really Exception_Type is Exception_Id, but Exception_Id can't be
   --  used directly since it is declared in the non-pure unit Ada.Exceptions,

   --  Exception_Id is in fact simply a pointer to the type Exception_Data
   --  declared in System.Standard_Library (which is also non-pure). So what
   --  we do is to define it here as a by reference type (any by reference
   --  type would do), and then Import the definitions from Standard_Library.
   --  Since this is a by reference type, these will be passed by reference,
   --  which has the same effect as passing a pointer.

   --  This type is not private because keeping it by reference would require
   --  defining it in a way (e.g a tagged type) that would drag other run time
   --  files, which is unwanted in the case of e.g ravenscar where we want to
   --  minimize the number of run time files needed by default.

   TE : constant Exception_Type;  -- Tasking_Error
   --  One of these constants is used in the call to specify the exception
