76   -- Suppression of Error Messages --
77   -----------------------------------
78
79   --  In an effort to reduce the impact of redundant error messages, the
80   --  error output routines in this package normally suppress certain
81   --  classes of messages as follows:
82
83   --    1.  Identical messages placed at the same point in the text. Such
84   --        duplicate error message result for example from rescanning
85   --        sections of the text that contain lexical errors. Only one of
86   --        such a set of duplicate messages is output, and the rest are
87   --        suppressed.
88
89   --    2.  If more than one parser message is generated for a single source
90   --        line, then only the first message is output, the remaining
91   --        messages on the same line are suppressed.
92
93   --    3.  If a message is posted on a node for which a message has been
94   --        previously posted, then only the first message is retained. The
95   --        Error_Posted flag is used to detect such multiple postings. Note
96   --        that this only applies to semantic messages, since otherwise
97   --        for parser messages, this would be a special case of case 2.
98
99   --    4.  If a message is posted on a node whose Etype or Entity
100   --        fields reference entities on which an error message has
101   --        already been placed, as indicated by the Error_Posted flag
102   --        being set on these entities, then the message is suppressed.
103
104   --    5.  If a message attempts to insert an Error node, or a direct
105   --        reference to the Any_Type node, then the message is suppressed.
106
107   --    6.  Note that cases 2-5 only apply to error messages, not warning
108   --        messages. Warning messages are only suppressed for case 1, and
109   --        when they come from other than the main extended unit.
110
111   --    7.  If an error or warning references an internal name, and we have
112   --        already placed an error (not warning) message at that location,
113   --        then we assume this is cascaded junk and delete the message.
114
115   --  This normal suppression action may be overridden in cases 2-5 (but not
116   --  in case 1 or 7 by setting All_Errors mode, or by setting the special
117   --  unconditional message insertion character (!) as described below.
118
119   ---------------------------------------------------------
120   -- Error Message Text and Message Insertion Characters --
121   ---------------------------------------------------------
122
123   --  Error message text strings are composed of lower case letters, digits
124   --  and the special characters space, comma, period, colon and semicolon,
125   --  apostrophe and parentheses. Special insertion characters can also
126   --  appear which cause the error message circuit to modify the given
127   --  string as follows:
128
129   --    Insertion character % (Percent: insert name from Names table)
130   --      The character % is replaced by the text for the name specified by
131   --      the Name_Id value stored in Error_Msg_Name_1. A blank precedes the
132   --      name if it is preceded by a non-blank character other than left
133   --      parenthesis. The name is enclosed in quotes unless manual quotation
134   --      mode is set. If the Name_Id is set to No_Name, then no insertion
135   --      occurs; if the Name_Id is set to Error_Name, then the string
136   --      <error> is inserted. A second and third % may appear in a single
137   --      message, similarly replaced by the names which are specified by the
138   --      Name_Id values stored in Error_Msg_Name_2 and Error_Msg_Name_3. The
139   --      names are decoded and cased according to the current identifier
140   --      casing mode. Note: if a unit name ending with %b or %s is passed
141   --      for this kind of insertion, this suffix is simply stripped. Use a
142   --      unit name insertion ($) to process the suffix.
143   --
144   --      Note: the special names _xxx (xxx = Pre/Post/Invariant) are changed
145   --      to insert the string xxx'Class into the message.
146
147   --    Insertion character %% (Double percent: insert literal name)
148   --      The character sequence %% acts as described above for %, except
149   --      that the name is simply obtained with Get_Name_String and is not
150   --      decoded or cased, it is inserted literally from the names table.
151   --      A trailing %b or %s is not treated specially.
152   --
153   --      Note: the special names _xxx (xxx = Pre/Post/Invariant) are changed
154   --      to insert the string xxx'Class into the message.
155
156   --    Insertion character $ (Dollar: insert unit name from Names table)
157   --      The character $ is treated similarly to %, except that the name is
158   --      obtained from the Unit_Name_Type value in Error_Msg_Unit_1 and
159   --      Error_Msg_Unit_2, as provided by Get_Unit_Name_String in package
160   --      Uname. Note that this name includes the postfix (spec) or (body)
161   --      strings. If this postfix is not required, use the normal % insertion
162   --      for the unit name.
163
164   --    Insertion character { (Left brace: insert file name from names table)
165   --      The character { is treated similarly to %, except that the input
166   --      value is a File_Name_Type value stored in Error_Msg_File_1 or
167   --      Error_Msg_File_2 or Error_Msg_File_3. The value is output literally,
168   --      enclosed in quotes as for %, but the case is not modified, the
169   --      insertion is the exact string stored in the names table without
170   --      adjusting the casing.
171
172   --    Insertion character * (Asterisk: insert reserved word name)
173   --      The insertion character * is treated exactly like % except that the
174   --      resulting name is cased according to the default conventions for
175   --      reserved words (see package Scans).
176
177   --    Insertion character & (Ampersand: insert name from node)
178   --      The insertion character & is treated similarly to %, except that
179   --      the name is taken from the Chars field of the given node, and may
180   --      refer to a child unit name, or a selected component. The casing is,
181   --      if possible, taken from the original source reference, which is
182   --      obtained from the Sloc field of the given node or nodes. If no Sloc
183   --      is available (happens e.g. for nodes in package Standard), then the
184   --      default case (see Scans spec) is used. The nodes to be used are
185   --      stored in Error_Msg_Node_1, Error_Msg_Node_2. No insertion occurs
186   --      for the Empty node, and the Error node results in the insertion of
187   --      the characters <error>. In addition, if the special global variable
188   --      Error_Msg_Qual_Level is non-zero, then the reference will include
189   --      up to the given number of levels of qualification, using the scope
190   --      chain.
191   --
192   --      Note: the special names _xxx (xxx = Pre/Post/Invariant) are changed
193   --      to insert the string xxx'Class into the message.
194
195   --    Insertion character # (Pound: insert line number reference)
196   --      The character # is replaced by the string indicating the source
197   --      position stored in Error_Msg_Sloc. There are three cases:
198   --
199   --        for package Standard:           in package Standard
200   --        for locations in current file:  at line nnn:ccc
201   --        for locations in other files:   at filename:nnn:ccc
202   --
203   --      By convention, the # insertion character is only used at the end of
204   --      an error message, so the above strings only appear as the last
205   --      characters of an error message. The only exceptions to this rule
206   --      are that an RM reference may follow in the form (RM .....) and a
207   --      right parenthesis may immediately follow the #. In the case of
208   --      continued messages, # can only appear at the end of a group of
209   --      continuation messages, except that \\ messages which always start
210   --      a new line end the sequence from the point of view of this rule.
211   --      The idea is that for any use of -gnatj, it will still be the case
212   --      that a location reference appears only at the end of a line.
213
214   --      Note: the output of the string "at " is suppressed if the string
215   --      " from" or " from " immediately precedes the insertion character #.
216   --      Certain messages read better with from than at.
217
218   --    Insertion character } (Right brace: insert type reference)
219   --      The character } is replaced by a string describing the type
220   --      referenced by the entity whose Id is stored in Error_Msg_Node_1.
221   --      The string gives the name or description of the type, and also
222   --      where appropriate the location of its declaration. Special cases
223   --      like "some integer type" are handled appropriately. Only one } is
224   --      allowed in a message, since there is not enough room for two (the
225   --      insertion can be quite long, including a file name). In addition, if
226   --      the special global variable Error_Msg_Qual_Level is non-zero, then
227   --      the reference will include up to the given number of levels of
228   --      qualification, using the scope chain.
229
230   --    Insertion character @ (At: insert column number reference)
231   --      The character @ is replaced by null if the RM_Column_Check mode is
232   --      off (False). If the switch is on (True), then @ is replaced by the
233   --      text string " in column nnn" where nnn is the decimal
234   --      representation of the column number stored in Error_Msg_Col plus
235   --      one (the plus one is because the number is stored 0-origin and
236   --      displayed 1-origin).
237
238   --    Insertion character ^ (Caret: insert integer value)
239   --      The character ^ is replaced by the decimal conversion of the Uint
240   --      value stored in Error_Msg_Uint_1, with a possible leading minus.
241   --      A second ^ may occur in the message, in which case it is replaced
242   --      by the decimal conversion of the Uint value in Error_Msg_Uint_2.
243
244   --    Insertion character > (Greater Than: run time name)
245   --      The character > is replaced by a string of the form (name) if
246   --      Targparm scanned out a Run_Time_Name (see package Targparm for
247   --      details). The name is enclosed in parentheses and output in mixed
248   --      case mode (upper case after any space in the name). If no run time
249   --      name is defined, this insertion character has no effect.
250
251   --    Insertion character ! (Exclamation: unconditional message)
252   --      The character ! appearing anywhere in the text of a message makes
253   --      the message unconditional which means that it is output even if it
254   --      would normally be suppressed. See section above for a description
255   --      of the cases in which messages are normally suppressed. Note that
256   --      in the case of warnings, the meaning is that the warning should not
257   --      be removed in dead code (that's the only time that the use of !
258   --      has any effect for a warning).
259   --
260   --      Note: the presence of ! is ignored in continuation messages (i.e.
261   --      messages starting with the \ insertion character). The effect of the
262   --      use of ! in a parent message automatically applies to all of its
263   --      continuation messages (since we clearly don't want any case in which
264   --      continuations are separated from the main message). It is allowable
265   --      to put ! in continuation messages, and the usual style is to include
266   --      it, since it makes it clear that the continuation is part of an
267   --      unconditional message.
268
269   --    Insertion character !! (Double exclamation: unconditional warning)
270   --      Normally warning messages issued in other than the main unit are
271   --      suppressed. If the message contains !! then this suppression is
272   --      avoided. This is currently used by the Compile_Time_Warning pragma
273   --      to ensure the message for a with'ed unit is output, and for warnings
274   --      on ineffective back-end inlining, which is detected in units that
275   --      contain subprograms to be inlined in the main program. It is also
276   --      used by the Compiler_Unit_Warning pragma for similar reasons.
277
278   --    Insertion character ? (Question: warning message)
279   --      The character ? appearing anywhere in a message makes the message
280   --      warning instead of a normal error message, and the text of the
281   --      message will be preceded by "warning:" in the normal case. The
282   --      handling of warnings if further controlled by the Warning_Mode
283   --      option (-w switch), see package Opt for further details, and also by
284   --      the current setting from pragma Warnings. This pragma applies only
285   --      to warnings issued from the semantic phase (not the parser), but
286   --      currently all relevant warnings are posted by the semantic phase
287   --      anyway. Messages starting with (style) are also treated as warning
288   --      messages.
289   --
290   --      Note: when a warning message is output, the text of the message is
291   --      preceded by "warning: " in the normal case. An exception to this
292   --      rule occurs when the text of the message starts with "info: " in
293   --      which case this string is not prepended. This allows callers to
294   --      label certain warnings as informational messages, rather than as
295   --      warning messages requiring some action.
296   --
297   --      Note: the presence of ? is ignored in continuation messages (i.e.
298   --      messages starting with the \ insertion character). The warning
299   --      status of continuations is determined only by the parent message
300   --      which is being continued. It is allowable to put ? in continuation
301   --      messages, and the usual style is to include it, since it makes it
302   --      clear that the continuation is part of a warning message, but it is
303   --      not necessary to go through any computational effort to include it.
304   --
305   --      Note: this usage is obsolete, use ?? ?*? ?$? ?x? ?X? to specify
306   --      the string to be added when Warn_Doc_Switch is set to True. If this
307   --      switch is True, then for simple ? messages it has no effect. This
308   --      simple form is to ease transition and may be removed later except
309   --      for GNATprove-specific messages (info and warnings) which are not
310   --      subject to the same GNAT warning switches.
311
312   --    Insertion character ?? (Two question marks: default warning)
313   --      Like ?, but if the flag Warn_Doc_Switch is True, adds the string
314   --      "[enabled by default]" at the end of the warning message. For
315   --      continuations, use this in each continuation message.
316
317   --    Insertion character ?x? (warning with switch)
318   --      Like ?, but if the flag Warn_Doc_Switch is True, adds the string
319   --      "[-gnatwx]" at the end of the warning message. x is a lower case
320   --      letter. For continuations, use this on each continuation message.
321
322   --    Insertion character ?X? (warning with dot switch)
323   --      Like ?, but if the flag Warn_Doc_Switch is True, adds the string
324   --      "[-gnatw.x]" at the end of the warning message. X is an upper case
325   --      letter corresponding to the lower case letter x in the message.
326   --      For continuations, use this on each continuation message.
327
328   --    Insertion character ?*? (restriction warning)
329   --      Like ?, but if the flag Warn_Doc_Switch is True, adds the string
330   --      "[restriction warning]" at the end of the warning message. For
331   --      continuations, use this on each continuation message.
332
333   --    Insertion character ?$? (elaboration informational messages)
334   --      Like ?, but if the flag Warn_Doc_Switch is True, adds the string
335   --      "[-gnatel]" at the end of the info message. This is used for the
336   --      messages generated by the switch -gnatel. For continuations, use
337   --      this on each continuation message.
338
339   --    Insertion character < (Less Than: conditional warning message)
340   --      The character < appearing anywhere in a message is used for a
341   --      conditional error message. If Error_Msg_Warn is True, then the
342   --      effect is the same as ? described above, and in particular << <X<
343   --      <x< <$< <*< have the effect of ?? ?X? ?x? ?$? ?*? respectively. If
344   --      Error_Msg_Warn is False, then the < << or <X< sequence is ignored
345   --      and the message is treated as a error rather than a warning.
346
347   --    Insertion character A-Z (Upper case letter: Ada reserved word)
348   --      If two or more upper case letters appear in the message, they are
349   --      taken as an Ada reserved word, and are converted to the default
350   --      case for reserved words (see Scans package spec). Surrounding
351   --      quotes are added unless manual quotation mode is currently set.
352   --      RM and SPARK are special exceptions, they are never treated as
353   --      keywords, and just appear verbatim, with no surrounding quotes.
354   --      As a special case, 'R'M is used instead of RM (which is not treated
355   --      as a keyword) to indicate when the reference to the RM is possibly
356   --      not useful anymore, and could possibly be replaced by a comment
357   --      in the source.
358
359   --    Insertion character ` (Backquote: set manual quotation mode)
360   --      The backquote character always appears in pairs. Each backquote of
361   --      the pair is replaced by a double quote character. In addition, any
362   --      reserved keywords, or name insertions between these backquotes are
363   --      not surrounded by the usual automatic double quotes. See the
364   --      section below on manual quotation mode for further details.
365
366   --    Insertion character ' (Quote: literal character)
367   --      Precedes a character which is placed literally into the message.
368   --      Used to insert characters into messages that are one of the
369   --      insertion characters defined here. Also used for insertion of
370   --      upper case letter sequences not to be treated as keywords.
371
372   --    Insertion character \ (Backslash: continuation message)
373   --      Indicates that the message is a continuation of a message
374   --      previously posted. This is used to ensure that such groups of
375   --      messages are treated as a unit. The \ character must be the first
376   --      character of the message text.
377
378   --    Insertion character \\ (Two backslashes: continuation with new line)
379   --      This differs from \ only in -gnatjnn mode (Error_Message_Line_Length
380   --      set non-zero). This sequence forces a new line to start even when
381   --      continuations are being gathered into a single message.
382
383   --    Insertion character | (Vertical bar: non-serious error)
384   --      By default, error messages (other than warning messages) are
385   --      considered to be fatal error messages which prevent expansion or
386   --      generation of code in the presence of the -gnatQ switch. If the
387   --      insertion character | appears, the message is considered to be
388   --      non-serious, and does not cause Serious_Errors_Detected to be
389   --      incremented (so expansion is not prevented by such a msg). This
390   --      insertion character is ignored in continuation messages.
391
392   --    Insertion character ~ (Tilde: insert string)
393   --      Indicates that Error_Msg_String (1 .. Error_Msg_Strlen) is to be
394   --      inserted to replace the ~ character. The string is inserted in the
395   --      literal form it appears, without any action on special characters.
396
397   --    Insertion character [ (Left bracket: will/would be raised at run time)
398   --      This is used in messages about exceptions being raised at run-time.
399   --      If the current message is a warning message, then if the code is
400   --      executed, the exception will be raised, and [ inserts:
401   --
402   --        will be raised at run time
403   --
404   --      If the current message is an error message, then it is an error
405   --      because the exception would have been raised and [ inserts:
406   --
407   --        would have been raised at run time
408   --
409   --      Typically the message contains a < insertion which means that the
410   --      message is a warning or error depending on Error_Msg_Warn. This is
411   --      most typically used in the context of messages which are normally
412   --      warnings, but are errors in GNATprove mode, corresponding to the
413   --      permission in the definition of SPARK that allows an implementation
414   --      to reject a program as illegal if a situation arises in which the
415   --      compiler can determine that it is certain that a run-time check
416   --      would have fail if the statement was executed.
417
418   --    Insertion character ] (Right bracket: may/might be raised at run time)
419   --      This is like [ except that the insertion messages say may/might,
420   --      instead of will/would.
421
422   --    Insertion sequence "(style)" (style message)
423   --      This appears only at the start of the message (and not any of its
424   --      continuations, if any), and indicates that the message is a style
425   --      message. Style messages are also considered to be warnings, but
426   --      they do not get a tag.
427
428   --    Insertion sequence "info: " (informational message)
429   --      This appears only at the start of the message (and not any of its
430   --      continuations, if any), and indicates that the message is an info
431   --      message. The message will be output with this prefix, and if there
432   --      are continuations that are not printed using the -gnatj switch they
433   --      will also have this prefix. Informational messages are usually also
434   --      warnings, but they don't have to be.
435
436   --    Insertion sequence "low: " or "medium: " or "high: " (check message)
437   --      This appears only at the start of the message (and not any of its
438   --      continuations, if any), and indicates that the message is a check
439   --      message. The message will be output with this prefix. Check
440   --      messages are not fatal (so are like info messages in that respect)
441   --      and are not controlled by pragma Warnings.

501   -----------------------------------------------------
502   -- Format of Messages and Manual Quotation Control --
503   -----------------------------------------------------
504
505   --  Messages are generally all in lower case, except for inserted names
506   --  and appear in one of the following three forms:
507
508   --    error: text
509   --    warning: text
510
511   --  The prefixes error and warning are supplied automatically (depending
512   --  on the use of the ? insertion character), and the call to the error
513   --  message routine supplies the text. The "error: " prefix is omitted
514   --  in brief error message formats.
515
516   --  Reserved Ada keywords in the message are in the default keyword case
517   --  (determined from the given source program), surrounded by quotation
518   --  marks. This is achieved by spelling the reserved word in upper case
519   --  letters, which is recognized as a request for insertion of quotation
520   --  marks by the error text processor. Thus for example:
521
522   --    Error_Msg_AP ("IS expected");
523
524   --  would result in the output of one of the following:
525
526   --    error: "is" expected
527   --    error: "IS" expected
528   --    error: "Is" expected
529
530   --  the choice between these being made by looking at the casing convention
531   --  used for keywords (actually the first compilation unit keyword) in the
532   --  source file.
533
534   --  Note: a special exception is that RM is never treated as a keyword
535   --  but instead is copied literally into the message, this avoids the
536   --  need for writing 'R'M for all reference manual quotes. A similar
537   --  exception is applied to the occurrence of the string SPARK used in
538   --  error messages about the SPARK subset of Ada.
539
540   --  In the case of names, the default mode for the error text processor
541   --  is to surround the name by quotation marks automatically. The case
542   --  used for the identifier names is taken from the source program where
543   --  possible, and otherwise is the default casing convention taken from
544   --  the source file usage.
545
546   --  In some cases, better control over the placement of quote marks is
547   --  required. This is achieved using manual quotation mode. In this mode,
548   --  one or more insertion sequences is surrounded by backquote characters.
549   --  The backquote characters are output as double quote marks, and normal
550   --  automatic insertion of quotes is suppressed between the double quotes.
551   --  For example:
552
553   --    Error_Msg_AP ("`END &;` expected");
554
555   --  generates a message like
556
557   --    error: "end Open_Scope;" expected
558
559   --  where the node specifying the name Open_Scope has been stored in
560   --  Error_Msg_Node_1 prior to the call. The great majority of error
561   --  messages operates in normal quotation mode.
562
563   --  Note: the normal automatic insertion of spaces before insertion
564   --  sequences (such as those that come from & and %) is suppressed in
565   --  manual quotation mode, so blanks, if needed as in the above example,
566   --  must be explicitly present.
