   -----------------

   function Ancestor_Subtype (Typ : Entity_Id) return Entity_Id;
   --  The argument Id is a type or subtype entity. If the argument is a
   --  subtype then it returns the subtype or type from which the subtype was
   --  obtained, otherwise it returns Empty.

   function Available_View (Ent : Entity_Id) return Entity_Id;
   --  Ent denotes an abstract state or a type that may come from a limited
   --  with clause. Return the non-limited view of Ent if there is one or Ent
   --  if this is not the case.

   function Constant_Value (Ent : Entity_Id) return Node_Id;
   --  Ent is a variable, constant, named integer, or named real entity. This
   --  call obtains the initialization expression for the entity. Will return
   --  Empty for a deferred constant whose full view is not available or
   --  in some other cases of internal entities, which cannot be treated as
   --  constants from the point of view of constant folding. Empty is also
   --  returned for variables with no initialization expression.

   function Corresponding_Unsigned_Type (Typ : Entity_Id) return Entity_Id;
   --  Typ is a signed integer subtype. This routine returns the standard
   --  unsigned type with the same Esize as the implementation base type of
   --  Typ, e.g. Long_Integer => Long_Unsigned.

   function Enclosing_Dynamic_Scope (Ent : Entity_Id) return Entity_Id;
   --  For any entity, Ent, returns the closest dynamic scope in which the
   --  entity is declared or Standard_Standard for library-level entities.

   function First_Discriminant (Typ : Entity_Id) return Entity_Id;
   --  Typ is a type with discriminants. The discriminants are the first
   --  entities declared in the type, so normally this is equivalent to
   --  First_Entity. The exception arises for tagged types, where the tag
   --  itself is prepended to the front of the entity chain, so the
   --  First_Discriminant function steps past the tag if it is present.
   --  The caller is responsible for checking that the type has discriminants.
   --  When called on a private type with unknown discriminants, the function
   --  always returns Empty.

   function First_Stored_Discriminant (Typ : Entity_Id) return Entity_Id;
   --  Typ is a type with discriminants. Gives the first discriminant stored
   --  in an object of this type. In many cases, these are the same as the
   --  normal visible discriminants for the type, but in the case of renamed
   --  discriminants, this is not always the case.
   --
   --  For tagged types, and untagged types which are root types or derived
   --  types but which do not rename discriminants in their root type, the
   --  stored discriminants are the same as the actual discriminants of the
   --  type, and hence this function is the same as First_Discriminant.
   --
   --  For derived untagged types that rename discriminants in the root type
   --  this is the first of the discriminants that occur in the root type. To
   --  be precise, in this case stored discriminants are entities attached to
   --  the entity chain of the derived type which are a copy of the
   --  discriminants of the root type. Furthermore their Is_Completely_Hidden
   --  flag is set since although they are actually stored in the object, they
   --  are not in the set of discriminants that is visible in the type.
   --
   --  For derived untagged types, the set of stored discriminants are the real
   --  discriminants from Gigi's standpoint, i.e. those that will be stored in
   --  actual objects of the type.

   function First_Subtype (Typ : Entity_Id) return Entity_Id;
   --  Applies to all types and subtypes. For types, yields the first subtype
   --  of the type. For subtypes, yields the first subtype of the base type of
   --  the subtype.

   function First_Tag_Component (Typ : Entity_Id) return Entity_Id;
   --  Typ must be a tagged record type. This function returns the Entity for
   --  the first _Tag field in the record type.

   function Get_Binary_Nkind (Op : Entity_Id) return Node_Kind;
   --  Op must be an entity with an Ekind of E_Operator. This function returns
   --  the Nkind value that would be used to construct a binary operator node
   --  referencing this entity. It is an error to call this function if Ekind
   --  (Op) /= E_Operator.

   function Get_Called_Entity (Call : Node_Id) return Entity_Id;
   --  Obtain the entity of the entry, operator, or subprogram being invoked
   --  by call Call.

   --  For an index subtype or string literal subtype, returns its low bound

   function Get_Unary_Nkind (Op : Entity_Id) return Node_Kind;
   --  Op must be an entity with an Ekind of E_Operator. This function returns
   --  the Nkind value that would be used to construct a unary operator node
   --  referencing this entity. It is an error to call this function if Ekind
   --  (Op) /= E_Operator.

   function Is_Limited_View (Ent : Entity_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Ent is any entity. True for a type that is "inherently" limited (i.e.

   --  a part that is of a task, protected, or explicitly limited record type".
   --  These are the types that are defined as return-by-reference types in Ada
   --  95 (see RM95-6.5(11-16)). In Ada 2005, these are the types that require
   --  build-in-place for function calls. Note that build-in-place is allowed

   --     type T is new R;
   --
   --  In this case the nearest ancestor is R, but the Etype of T'Base will
   --  point to R'Base, so we have to go rummaging in the declarations to get
   --  this information. It is used for making sure we freeze this before we
   --  freeze Typ, and also for retrieving inherited predicate information.
   --  For the case of base types or first subtypes, there is no useful entity
   --  to return, so Empty is returned.
   --
   --  Note: this is similar to Ancestor_Subtype except that it also deals
   --  with the case of derived types.

   function Nearest_Dynamic_Scope (Ent : Entity_Id) return Entity_Id;
