69   -- Suppression of Error Messages --
70   -----------------------------------
71
72   --  In an effort to reduce the impact of redundant error messages, the
73   --  error output routines in this package normally suppress certain
74   --  classes of messages as follows:
75
76   --    1.  Identical messages placed at the same point in the text. Such
77   --        duplicate error message result for example from rescanning
78   --        sections of the text that contain lexical errors. Only one of
79   --        such a set of duplicate messages is output, and the rest are
80   --        suppressed.
81
82   --    2.  If more than one parser message is generated for a single source
83   --        line, then only the first message is output, the remaining
84   --        messages on the same line are suppressed.
85
86   --    3.  If a message is posted on a node for which a message has been
87   --        previously posted, then only the first message is retained. The
88   --        Error_Posted flag is used to detect such multiple postings. Note
89   --        that this only applies to semantic messages, since otherwise
90   --        for parser messages, this would be a special case of case 2.
91
92   --    4.  If a message is posted on a node whose Etype or Entity
93   --        fields reference entities on which an error message has
94   --        already been placed, as indicated by the Error_Posted flag
95   --        being set on these entities, then the message is suppressed.
96
97   --    5.  If a message attempts to insert an Error node, or a direct
98   --        reference to the Any_Type node, then the message is suppressed.
99
100   --    6.  Note that cases 2-5 only apply to error messages, not warning
101   --        messages. Warning messages are only suppressed for case 1, and
102   --        when they come from other than the main extended unit.
103
104   --  This normal suppression action may be overridden in cases 2-5 (but not
105   --  in case 1) by setting All_Errors mode, or by setting the special
106   --  unconditional message insertion character (!) at the end of the message
107   --  text as described below.
108
109   ---------------------------------------------------------
110   -- Error Message Text and Message Insertion Characters --
111   ---------------------------------------------------------
112
113   --  Error message text strings are composed of lower case letters, digits
114   --  and the special characters space, comma, period, colon and semicolon,
115   --  apostrophe and parentheses. Special insertion characters can also
116   --  appear which cause the error message circuit to modify the given
117   --  string as follows:
118
119   --    Insertion character % (Percent: insert name from Names table)
120   --      The character % is replaced by the text for the name specified by
121   --      the Name_Id value stored in Error_Msg_Name_1. A blank precedes the
122   --      name if it is preceded by a non-blank character other than left
123   --      parenthesis. The name is enclosed in quotes unless manual quotation
124   --      mode is set. If the Name_Id is set to No_Name, then no insertion
125   --      occurs; if the Name_Id is set to Error_Name, then the string
126   --      <error> is inserted. A second and third % may appear in a single
127   --      message, similarly replaced by the names which are specified by the
128   --      Name_Id values stored in Error_Msg_Name_2 and Error_Msg_Name_3. The
129   --      names are decoded and cased according to the current identifier
130   --      casing mode. Note: if a unit name ending with %b or %s is passed
131   --      for this kind of insertion, this suffix is simply stripped. Use a
132   --      unit name insertion ($) to process the suffix.
133
134   --    Insertion character %% (Double percent: insert literal name)
135   --      The character sequence %% acts as described above for %, except
136   --      that the name is simply obtained with Get_Name_String and is not
137   --      decoded or cased, it is inserted literally from the names table.
138   --      A trailing %b or %s is not treated specially.
139
140   --    Insertion character $ (Dollar: insert unit name from Names table)
141   --      The character $ is treated similarly to %, except that the name is
142   --      obtained from the Unit_Name_Type value in Error_Msg_Unit_1 and
143   --      Error_Msg_Unit_2, as provided by Get_Unit_Name_String in package
144   --      Uname. Note that this name includes the postfix (spec) or (body)
145   --      strings. If this postfix is not required, use the normal %
146   --      insertion for the unit name.
147
148   --    Insertion character { (Left brace: insert file name from names table)
149   --      The character { is treated similarly to %, except that the input
150   --      value is a File_Name_Type value stored in Error_Msg_File_1 or
151   --      Error_Msg_File_2 or Error_Msg_File_3. The value is output literally,
152   --      enclosed in quotes as for %, but the case is not modified, the
153   --      insertion is the exact string stored in the names table without
154   --      adjusting the casing.
155
156   --    Insertion character * (Asterisk, insert reserved word name)
157   --      The insertion character * is treated exactly like % except that the
158   --      resulting name is cased according to the default conventions for
159   --      reserved words (see package Scans).
160
161   --    Insertion character & (Ampersand: insert name from node)
162   --      The insertion character & is treated similarly to %, except that
163   --      the name is taken from the Chars field of the given node, and may
164   --      refer to a child unit name, or a selected component. The casing is,
165   --      if possible, taken from the original source reference, which is
166   --      obtained from the Sloc field of the given node or nodes. If no Sloc
167   --      is available (happens e.g. for nodes in package Standard), then the
168   --      default case (see Scans spec) is used. The nodes to be used are
169   --      stored in Error_Msg_Node_1, Error_Msg_Node_2. No insertion occurs
170   --      for the Empty node, and the Error node results in the insertion of
171   --      the characters <error>. In addition, if the special global variable
172   --      Error_Msg_Qual_Level is non-zero, then the reference will include
173   --      up to the given number of levels of qualification, using the scope
174   --      chain.
175
176   --    Insertion character # (Pound: insert line number reference)
177   --      The character # is replaced by the string indicating the source
178   --      position stored in Error_Msg_Sloc. There are three cases:
179   --
180   --        for package Standard:           in package Standard
181   --        for locations in current file:  at line nnn:ccc
182   --        for locations in other files:   at filename:nnn:ccc
183   --
184   --      By convention, the # insertion character is only used at the end of
185   --      an error message, so the above strings only appear as the last
186   --      characters of an error message. The only exceptions to this rule
187   --      are that an RM reference may follow in the form (RM .....) and a
188   --      right parenthesis may immediately follow the #. In the case of
189   --      continued messages, # can only appear at the end of a group of
190   --      continuation messages, except that \\ messages which always start
191   --      a new line end the sequence from the point of view of this rule.
192   --      The idea is that for any use of -gnatj, it will still be the case
193   --      that a location reference appears only at the end of a line.
194
195   --      Note: the output of the string "at " is suppressed if the string
196   --      " from" or " from " immediately precedes the insertion character #.
197   --      Certain messages read better with from than at.
198
199   --    Insertion character } (Right brace: insert type reference)
200   --      The character } is replaced by a string describing the type
201   --      referenced by the entity whose Id is stored in Error_Msg_Node_1.
202   --      the string gives the name or description of the type, and also
203   --      where appropriate the location of its declaration. Special cases
204   --      like "some integer type" are handled appropriately. Only one } is
205   --      allowed in a message, since there is not enough room for two (the
206   --      insertion can be quite long, including a file name) In addition, if
207   --      the special global variable Error_Msg_Qual_Level is non-zero, then
208   --      the reference will include up to the given number of levels of
209   --      qualification, using the scope chain.
210
211   --    Insertion character @ (At: insert column number reference)
212   --      The character @ is replaced by null if the RM_Column_Check mode is
213   --      off (False). If the switch is on (True), then @ is replaced by the
214   --      text string " in column nnn" where nnn is the decimal
215   --      representation of the column number stored in Error_Msg_Col plus
216   --      one (the plus one is because the number is stored 0-origin and
217   --      displayed 1-origin).
218
219   --    Insertion character ^ (Caret: insert integer value)
220   --      The character ^ is replaced by the decimal conversion of the Uint
221   --      value stored in Error_Msg_Uint_1, with a possible leading minus.
222   --      A second ^ may occur in the message, in which case it is replaced
223   --      by the decimal conversion of the Uint value in Error_Msg_Uint_2.
224
225   --    Insertion character > (Right bracket, run time name)
226   --      The character > is replaced by a string of the form (name) if
227   --      Targparm scanned out a Run_Time_Name (see package Targparm for
228   --      details). The name is enclosed in parentheses and output in mixed
229   --      case mode (upper case after any space in the name). If no run time
230   --      name is defined, this insertion character has no effect.
231
232   --    Insertion character ! (Exclamation: unconditional message)
233   --      The character ! appearing as the last character of a message makes
234   --      the message unconditional which means that it is output even if it
235   --      would normally be suppressed. See section above for a description
236   --      of the cases in which messages are normally suppressed. Note that
237   --      in the case of warnings, the meaning is that the warning should not
238   --      be removed in dead code (that's the only time that the use of !
239   --      has any effect for a warning).
240   --
241   --      Note: the presence of ! is ignored in continuation messages (i.e.
242   --      messages starting with the \ insertion character). The effect of the
243   --      use of ! in a parent message automatically applies to all of its
244   --      continuation messages (since we clearly don't want any case in which
245   --      continuations are separated from the parent message. It is allowable
246   --      to put ! in continuation messages, and the usual style is to include
247   --      it, since it makes it clear that the continuation is part of an
248   --      unconditional message.
249
250   --    Insertion character !! (Double exclamation: unconditional warning)
251   --      Normally warning messages issued in other than the main unit are
252   --      suppressed. If the message ends with !! then this suppression is
253   --      avoided. This is currently used by the Compile_Time_Warning pragma
254   --      to ensure the message for a with'ed unit is output, and for warnings
255   --      on ineffective back-end inlining, which is detected in units that
256   --      contain subprograms to be inlined in the main program.
257
258   --    Insertion character ? (Question: warning message)
259   --      The character ? appearing anywhere in a message makes the message
260   --      warning instead of a normal error message, and the text of the
261   --      message will be preceded by "warning:" in the normal case. The
262   --      handling of warnings if further controlled by the Warning_Mode
263   --      option (-w switch), see package Opt for further details, and also by
264   --      the current setting from pragma Warnings. This pragma applies only
265   --      to warnings issued from the semantic phase (not the parser), but
266   --      currently all relevant warnings are posted by the semantic phase
267   --      anyway. Messages starting with (style) are also treated as warning
268   --      messages.
269   --
270   --      Note: when a warning message is output, the text of the message is
271   --      preceded by "warning: " in the normal case. An exception to this
272   --      rule occurs when the text of the message starts with "info: " in
273   --      which case this string is not prepended. This allows callers to
274   --      label certain warnings as informational messages, rather than as
275   --      warning messages requiring some action.
276   --
277   --      Note: the presence of ? is ignored in continuation messages (i.e.
278   --      messages starting with the \ insertion character). The warning
279   --      status of continuations is determined only by the parent message
280   --      which is being continued. It is allowable to put ? in continuation
281   --      messages, and the usual style is to include it, since it makes it
282   --      clear that the continuation is part of a warning message.
283
284   --    Insertion character ?? (two question marks)
285   --      Like ?, but if the flag Warn_Doc_Switch is True, adds the string
286   --      "[enabled by default]" at the end of the warning message. In the
287   --      case of continuations, use this in each continuation message.
288
289   --    Insertion character ?x? (warning with switch)
290   --      Like ?, but if the flag Warn_Doc_Switch is True, adds the string
291   --      "[-gnatwx]" at the end of the warning message. x is a lower case
292   --      letter. In the case of continuations, use this on each continuation
293   --      message.
294
295   --    Insertion character ?X? (warning with dot switch)
296   --      Like ?, but if the flag Warn_Doc_Switch is True, adds the string
297   --      "[-gnatw.x]" at the end of the warning message. X is an upper case
298   --      letter corresponding to the lower case letter x in the message. In
299   --      the case of continuations, use this on each continuation
300   --      message.
301
302   --    Insertion character < (Less Than: conditional warning message)
303   --      The character < appearing anywhere in a message is used for a
304   --      conditional error message. If Error_Msg_Warn is True, then the
305   --      effect is the same as ? described above. If Error_Msg_Warn is
306   --      False, then there is no effect.
307
308   --    Insertion character A-Z (Upper case letter: Ada reserved word)
309   --      If two or more upper case letters appear in the message, they are
310   --      taken as an Ada reserved word, and are converted to the default
311   --      case for reserved words (see Scans package spec). Surrounding
312   --      quotes are added unless manual quotation mode is currently set.
313
314   --    Insertion character ` (Backquote: set manual quotation mode)
315   --      The backquote character always appears in pairs. Each backquote of
316   --      the pair is replaced by a double quote character. In addition, any
317   --      reserved keywords, or name insertions between these backquotes are
318   --      not surrounded by the usual automatic double quotes. See the
319   --      section below on manual quotation mode for further details.
320
321   --    Insertion character ' (Quote: literal character)
322   --      Precedes a character which is placed literally into the message.
323   --      Used to insert characters into messages that are one of the
324   --      insertion characters defined here. Also useful in inserting
325   --      sequences of upper case letters which are not to be treated as
326   --      keywords.
327
328   --    Insertion character \ (Backslash: continuation message)
329   --      Indicates that the message is a continuation of a message
330   --      previously posted. This is used to ensure that such groups of
331   --      messages are treated as a unit. The \ character must be the first
332   --      character of the message text.
333
334   --    Insertion character \\ (Two backslashes, continuation with new line)
335   --      This differs from \ only in -gnatjnn mode (Error_Message_Line_Length
336   --      set non-zero). This sequence forces a new line to start even when
337   --      continuations are being gathered into a single message.
338
339   --    Insertion character | (Vertical bar: non-serious error)

472   -----------------------------------------------------
473   -- Format of Messages and Manual Quotation Control --
474   -----------------------------------------------------
475
476   --  Messages are generally all in lower case, except for inserted names
477   --  and appear in one of the following three forms:
478
479   --    error: text
480   --    warning: text
481
482   --  The prefixes error and warning are supplied automatically (depending
483   --  on the use of the ? insertion character), and the call to the error
484   --  message routine supplies the text. The "error: " prefix is omitted
485   --  in brief error message formats.
486
487   --  Reserved Ada keywords in the message are in the default keyword case
488   --  (determined from the given source program), surrounded by quotation
489   --  marks. This is achieved by spelling the reserved word in upper case
490   --  letters, which is recognized as a request for insertion of quotation
491   --  marks by the error text processor. Thus for example:
492
493   --    Error_Msg_AP ("IS expected");
494
495   --  would result in the output of one of the following:
496
497   --    error: "is" expected
498   --    error: "IS" expected
499   --    error: "Is" expected
500
501   --  the choice between these being made by looking at the casing convention
502   --  used for keywords (actually the first compilation unit keyword) in the
503   --  source file.
504
505   --  Note: a special exception is that RM is never treated as a keyword
506   --  but instead is copied literally into the message, this avoids the
507   --  need for writing 'R'M for all reference manual quotes. A similar
508   --  exception is applied to the occurrence of the string Alfa used in
509   --  error messages about the Alfa subset of Ada.
510
511   --  In the case of names, the default mode for the error text processor
512   --  is to surround the name by quotation marks automatically. The case
513   --  used for the identifier names is taken from the source program where
514   --  possible, and otherwise is the default casing convention taken from
515   --  the source file usage.
516
517   --  In some cases, better control over the placement of quote marks is
518   --  required. This is achieved using manual quotation mode. In this mode,
519   --  one or more insertion sequences is surrounded by backquote characters.
520   --  The backquote characters are output as double quote marks, and normal
521   --  automatic insertion of quotes is suppressed between the double quotes.
522   --  For example:
523
524   --    Error_Msg_AP ("`END &;` expected");
525
526   --  generates a message like
527
528   --    error: "end Open_Scope;" expected
529
530   --  where the node specifying the name Open_Scope has been stored in
531   --  Error_Msg_Node_1 prior to the call. The great majority of error
532   --  messages operates in normal quotation mode.
533
534   --  Note: the normal automatic insertion of spaces before insertion
535   --  sequences (such as those that come from & and %) is suppressed in
536   --  manual quotation mode, so blanks, if needed as in the above example,
537   --  must be explicitly present.
