31   -- Format of Library Information --
32   -----------------------------------
33
34   --  This section describes the format of the library information that is
35   --  associated with object files. The exact method of this association is
36   --  potentially implementation dependent and is described and implemented in
37   --  package ali. From the point of view of the description here, all we need
38   --  to know is that the information is represented as a string of characters
39   --  that is somehow associated with an object file, and can be retrieved. If
40   --  no library information exists for a given object file, then we take this
41   --  as equivalent to the non-existence of the object file, as if source file
42   --  has not been previously compiled.
43
44   --  The library information is written as a series of lines of the form:
45
46   --    Key_Character parameter parameter ...
47
48   --  The following sections describe the format of these lines in detail
49
50   --------------------------------------
51   -- Making Changes to the ALI Format --
52   --------------------------------------
53
54   --  A number of tools use ali.adb to parse ali files. This means that
55   --  changes to this format can cause old versions of these tools to be
56   --  incompatible with new versions of the compiler. Any changes to ali file
57   --  formats must be carefully evaluated to understand any such possible
58   --  conflicts, and in particular, it is very undesirable to create conflicts
59   --  between older versions of GPS and newer versions of the compiler.
60
61   --  If the following guidelines are respected, downward compatibility
62   --  problems (old tools reading new ali files) should be minimized:
63
64   --    The basic key character format must be kept
65
66   --    The V line must be the first line, this is checked by ali.adb even in
67   --    Ignore_Errors mode, and is used to verify that the file at hand is
68   --    indeed likely intended to be an ali file.
69
70   --    The P line must be present, though may be modified in contents
71   --    according to remaining guidelines. Again, ali.adb assumes the P
72   --    line is present even in Ignore_Errors mode.
73
74   --    New modifiers can generally be added (in particular adding new two
75   --    letter modifiers to the P or U lines is always safe)
76
77   --    Adding entirely new lines (with a new key letter) to the ali file is
78   --    always safe, at any point (other than before the V line), since such
79   --    lines will be ignored.
80
81   --  Following the guidelines in this section should ensure that this problem
82   --  is minimized and that old tools will be able to deal successfully with
83   --  new ali formats. Note that this does not apply to the compiler itself,
84   --  which always requires consistency between the ali files and the binder.
85   --  That is because one of the main functions of the binder is to ensure
86   --  consistency of the partition, and this can be compromised if the ali
87   --  files are inconsistent.
88
89   ------------------
90   -- Header Lines --
91   ------------------
92
93   --  The initial header lines in the file give information about the
94   --  compilation environment, and identify other special information such as
95   --  main program parameters.
96
97   --  ----------------
98   --  -- V  Version --
99   --  ----------------
100
101   --    V "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
102   --
103   --      This line indicates the library output version, as defined in
104   --      Gnatvsn. It ensures that separate object modules of a program are
105   --      consistent. It has to be changed if anything changes which would
106   --      affect successful binding of separately compiled modules. Examples
107   --      of such changes are modifications in the format of the library info
108   --      described in this package, or modifications to calling sequences, or
109   --      to the way that data is represented.
110
111   --    Note: the V line absolutely must be the first line, and no change
112   --    to the ALI format should change this, since even in Ignore_Errors
113   --    mode, Scan_ALI insists on finding a V line.

137
138   --          Present only if there was a valid pragma Time_Slice in the

143
144   --        AB
145
146   --          Present if there is an allocator in the body of the procedure

159
160   --          This parameter indicates the wide character encoding method used

266   --  -- R  Restrictions --
267   --  ---------------------
268
269   --  There are two forms for R lines, positional and named. The positional
270   --  notation is now considered obsolescent, it is not generated by the most
271   --  recent versions of the compiler except under control of the debug switch
272   --  -gnatdR, but is still recognized by the binder.
273
274   --  The recognition by the binder is to ease the transition, and better deal
275   --  with some cases of inconsistent builds using incompatible versions of
276   --  the compiler and binder. The named notation is the current preferred
277   --  approach.
278
279   --  Note that R lines are generated using the information in unit Rident,
280   --  and intepreted by the binder using the information in System.Rident.
281   --  Normally these two units should be effectively identical. However in
282   --  some cases of inconsistent builds, they may be different. This may lead
283   --  to binder diagnostics, which can be suppressed using the -C switch for
284   --  the binder, which results in ignoring unrecognized restrictions in the
285   --  ali files.
286
287   --  ---------------------------------------
288   --  -- R  Restrictions (Positional Form) --
289   --  ---------------------------------------
290
291   --  The first R line records the status of restrictions generated by pragma
292   --  Restrictions encountered, as well as information on what the compiler
293   --  has been able to determine with respect to restrictions violations.
294   --  The format is:
295
296   --    R <<restriction-characters>> <<restriction-param-id-entries>>
297
298   --      The first parameter is a string of characters that records
299   --      information regarding restrictions that do not take parameter not
300   --      take parameter values. It is a string of characters, one character
301   --      for each value (in order) in All_Boolean_Restrictions. There are
302   --      three possible settings for each restriction:
303
304   --        r   Restricted. Unit was compiled under control of a pragma
305   --            Restrictions for the corresponding restriction. In this case
306   --            the unit certainly does not violate the Restriction, since
307   --            this would have been detected by the compiler.
308
309   --        n   Not used. The unit was not compiled under control of a pragma
310   --            Restrictions for the corresponding restriction, and does not
311   --            make any use of the referenced feature.
312
313   --        v   Violated. The unit was not compiled under control of a pragma
314   --            Restrictions for the corresponding restriction, and it does
315   --            indeed use the referenced feature.
316
317   --      This information is used in the binder to check consistency, i.e. to
318   --      detect cases where one unit has "r" and another unit has "v", which
319   --      is not permitted, since these restrictions are partition-wide.
320
321   --  The second parameter, which immediately follows the first (with no
322   --  separating space) gives restriction information for identifiers for
323   --  which a parameter is given.
324
325   --      The parameter is a string of entries, one for each value in
326   --      Restrict.All_Parameter_Restrictions. Each entry has two components
327   --      in sequence, the first indicating whether or not there is a
328   --      restriction, and the second indicating whether or not the compiler
329   --      detected violations. In the boolean case it is not necessary to
330   --      separate these, since if a restriction is set, and violated, that is
331   --      an error. But in the parameter case, this is not true. For example,
332   --      we can have a unit with a pragma Restrictions (Max_Tasks => 4),
333   --      where the compiler can detect that there are exactly three tasks
334   --      declared. Both of these pieces of information must be passed to the
335   --      binder. The parameter of 4 is important in case the total number of
336   --      tasks in the partition is greater than 4. The parameter of 3 is
337   --      important in case some other unit has a restrictions pragma with
338   --      Max_Tasks=>2.
339
340   --      The component for the presence of restriction has one of two
341   --      possible forms:
342
343   --         n   No pragma for this restriction is present in the set of units
344   --             for this ali file.
345
346   --         rN  At least one pragma for this restriction is present in the
347   --             set of units for this ali file. The value N is the minimum
348   --             parameter value encountered in any such pragma. N is in the
349   --             range of Integer (a value larger than N'Last causes the
350   --             pragma to be ignored).
351
352   --      The component for the violation detection has one of three
353   --      possible forms:
354
355   --         n   No violations were detected by the compiler
356
357   --         vN  A violation was detected. N is either the maximum or total
358   --             count of violations (depending on the checking type) in all
359   --             the units represented by the ali file). Note that this
360   --             setting is only allowed for restrictions that are in
361   --             Checked_[Max|Sum]_Parameter_Restrictions. The value here is
362   --             known to be exact by the compiler and is in the range of
363   --             Natural.
364
365   --         vN+ A violation was detected. The compiler cannot determine
366   --             the exact count of violations, but it is at least N.
367
368   --      There are no spaces within the parameter string, so the entry
369   --      described above in the header of this section for Max_Tasks would
370   --      appear as the string r4v3.
371
372   --      Note: The restrictions line is required to be present. Even in
373   --      Ignore_Errors mode, Scan_ALI expects to find an R line and will

378   --  -- R  Restrictions (Named Form) --
379   --  ----------------------------------
380
381   --  The first R line for named form announces that named notation will be
382   --  used, and also assures that there is at least one R line present, which
383   --  makes parsing of ali files simpler. A blank line preceds the RN line.
384
385   --  RN
386
387   --  In named notation, the restrictions are given as a series of lines, one
388   --  per retrictions that is specified or violated (no information is present
389   --  for restrictions that are not specified or violated). In the following
390   --  name is the name of the restriction in all upper case.
391
392   --  For boolean restrictions, we have only two possibilities. A restrictions
393   --  pragma is present, or a violation is detected:
394
395   --  RR name
396
397   --    A restriction pragma is present for the named boolean restriction.
398   --    No violations were detected by the compiler (or the unit in question
399   --    would have been found to be illegal).
400
401   --  RV name
402
403   --    No restriction pragma is present for the named boolean restriction.
404   --    However, the compiler did detect one or more violations of this
405   --    restriction, which may require a binder consistency check.
406
407   --  For the case of restrictions that take a parameter, we need both the
408   --  information from pragma if present, and the actual information about
409   --  what possible violations occur. For example, we can have a unit with
410   --  a pragma Restrictions (Max_Tasks => 4), where the compiler can detect
411   --  that there are exactly three tasks declared. Both of these pieces
412   --  of information must be passed to the binder. The parameter of 4 is
413   --  important in case the total number of tasks in the partition is greater
414   --  than 4. The parameter of 3 is important in case some other unit has a
415   --  restrictions pragma with Max_Tasks=>2.
416
417   --  RR name=N
418
419   --    A restriction pragma is present for the named restriction which is
420   --    one of the restrictions taking a parameter. The value N (a decimal
421   --    integer) is the value given in the restriction pragma.
422
423   --  RV name=N
424
425   --    A restriction pragma may or may not be present for the restriction
426   --    given by name (one of the restrictions taking a parameter). But in
427   --    either case, the compiler detected possible violations. N (a decimal
428   --    integer) is the maximum or total count of violations (depending
429   --    on the checking type) in all the units represented by the ali file).
430   --    The value here is known to be exact by the compiler and is in the
431   --    range of Natural. Note that if an RR line is present for the same
432   --    restriction, then the value in the RV line cannot exceed the value
433   --    in the RR line (since otherwise the compiler would have detected a
434   --    violation of the restriction).
435
436   --  RV name=N+
437
438   --    Similar to the above, but the compiler cannot determine the exact
439   --    count of violations, but it is at least N.

514   --
515   --      This line identifies the unit to which this section of the library

539   --         EB  Unit has pragma Elaborate_Body, or is a generic instance that
