33   -- Handling of Renamed Units --
34   -------------------------------
35
36   --  A compilation unit can be a renaming of another compilation unit.
37   --  Such renamed units are not allowed as parent units, that is you
38   --  cannot declare a unit:
39
40   --     with x;
41   --     package x.y is end;
42
43   --  where x is a renaming of some other package. However you can refer
44   --  to a renamed unit in a with clause:
45
46   --     package p is end;
47
48   --     package p.q is end;
49
50   --     with p;
51   --     package pr renames p;
52
53   --     with pr.q ....
54
55   --  This means that in the context of a with clause, the normal fixed
56   --  correspondence between unit and file names is broken. In the above
57   --  example, there is no file named pr-q.ads, since the actual child
58   --  unit is p.q, and it will be found in file p-q.ads.
59
60   --  In order to deal with this case, we have to first load pr.ads, and
61   --  then discover that it is a renaming of p, so that we know that pr.q
62   --  really refers to p.q. Furthermore this can happen at any level:
63
64   --     with p.q;
65   --     package p.r renames p.q;
66
67   --     with p.q;
68   --     package p.q.s is end;
69
70   --     with p.r.s ...
71
72   --  Now we have a case where the parent p.r is a child unit and is
73   --  a renaming. This shows that renaming can occur at any level.
74
75   --  Finally, consider:
76
77   --     with pr.q.s ...
78
79   --  Here the parent pr.q is not itself a renaming, but it really refers
80   --  to the unit p.q, and again we cannot know this without loading the
81   --  parent. The bottom line here is that while the file name of a unit
82   --  always corresponds to the unit name, the unit name as given to the
83   --  Load_Unit function may not be the real unit.

95   --  to initialize the version number.

99   --  the library processing for the new main source. Establishes and

101   --  the Unit_File_Name entry of Main_Unit set to No_File if there are no

114   --  This function loads and parses the unit specified by Load_Name (or
115   --  returns the unit number for the previously constructed units table
116   --  entry if this is not the first call for this unit). Required indicates
117   --  the behavior on a file not found condition, as further described below,
118   --  and Error_Node is the node in the calling program to which error
119   --  messages are to be attached.
120   --
121   --  If the corresponding file is found, the value returned by Load is the
122   --  unit number that indexes the corresponding entry in the units table. If
123   --  a serious enough parser error occurs to prevent subsequent semantic
124   --  analysis, then the Fatal_Error flag of the returned entry is set and
125   --  in addition, the fatal error flag of the calling unit is also set.
126   --
127   --  If the corresponding file is not found, then the behavior depends on
128   --  the setting of Required. If Required is False, then No_Unit is returned
129   --  and no error messages are issued. If Required is True, then an error
130   --  message is posted, and No_Unit is returned.
131   --
132   --  A special case arises in the call from Rtsfind, where Error_Node is set
133   --  to Empty. In this case Required is False, and the caller in any case
134   --  treats any error as fatal.
135   --
136   --  The Subunit parameter is True to load a subunit, and False to load
137   --  any other kind of unit (including all specs, package bodies, and
138   --  subprogram bodies).
139   --
140   --  The Corr_Body argument is normally defaulted. It is set only in the
141   --  case of loading the corresponding spec when the main unit is a body.
142   --  In this case, Corr_Body is the unit number of this corresponding
143   --  body. This is used to set the Serial_Ref_Unit field of the unit
144   --  table entry. It is also used to deal with the special processing
145   --  required by RM 10.1.4(4). See description in lib.ads.
146   --
147   --  Renamings activates the handling of renamed units as separately
148   --  described in the documentation of this unit. If this parameter is
149   --  set to True, then Load_Name may not be the real unit name and it
150   --  is necessary to load parents to find the real name.
151   --
152   --  With_Node is set to the with_clause or limited_with_clause causing
153   --  the unit to be loaded, and is used to bypass the circular dependency
154   --  check in the case of a limited_with_clause (Ada 2005, AI-50217).
155   --
156   --  PMES indicates the required setting of Parsing_Main_Extended_Unit during
157   --  loading of the unit. This flag is saved and restored over the call.
