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.

125
126   --          P for a parameterless procedure
127   --          F for a function returning a value of integral type

131
132   --          Present only if there was a valid pragma Priority in the

135

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

140   --          range 0 .. 10**9 giving the time slice value in units of
141   --          milliseconds. The actual significance of this parameter is
142   --          target dependent.
143
144   --        C=cpu
145
146   --          Present only if there was a valid pragma CPU in the

151
152   --          This parameter indicates the wide character encoding method used

173
174   --      Indicates various information that applies to the compilation of the

176   --      two letter codes that indicate configuration pragmas and other
177   --      parameters that apply:
178
179   --      The arguments are as follows:
180
181   --         CE   Compilation errors. If this is present it means that the ali
182   --              file resulted from a compilation with the -gnatQ switch set,
183   --              and illegalities were detected. The ali file contents may
184   --              not be completely reliable, but the format will be correct
185   --              and complete. Note that NO is always present if CE is
186   --              present.
187
188   --         DB   Detect_Blocking pragma is in effect for all units in this
189   --              file.
190
191   --         Ex   A valid Partition_Elaboration_Policy pragma applies to all
192   --              the units in this file, where x is the first character
193   --              (upper case) of the policy name (e.g. 'C' for Concurrent).
194
195   --         FX  Units in this file use front-end exceptions, with explicit
196   --             handlers to trigger AT-END actions on exception paths.
197
198   --         GP   Set if this compilation was done in GNATprove mode, either
199   --              from direct use of GNATprove, or from use of -gnatdF.
200
201   --         Lx   A valid Locking_Policy pragma applies to all the units in
202   --              this file, where x is the first character (upper case) of
203   --              the policy name (e.g. 'C' for Ceiling_Locking).
204
205   --         NO   No object. This flag indicates that the units in this file
206   --              were not compiled to produce an object. This can occur as a
207   --              result of the use of -gnatc, or if no object can be produced
208   --              (e.g. when a package spec is compiled instead of the body,
209   --              or a subunit on its own). Note that in GNATprove mode, we
210   --              do produce an object. The object is not suitable for binding
211   --              and linking, but we do not set NO, instead we set GP.
212
213   --         NR   No_Run_Time. Indicates that a pragma No_Run_Time applies
214   --              to all units in the file.
215
216   --         NS   Normalize_Scalars pragma in effect for all units in
217   --              this file.
218
219   --         OH   Pragma Default_Scalar_Storage_Order (High_Order_First) is

223   --              present in a configuration pragma file that applies.
224
225   --         Qx   A valid Queueing_Policy pragma applies to all the units
226   --              in this file, where x is the first character (upper case)
227   --              of the policy name (e.g. 'P' for Priority_Queueing).
228
229   --         SL   Indicates that the unit is an Interface to a Standalone
230   --              Library. Note that this indication is never given by the
231   --              compiler, but is added by the Project Manager in gnatmake
232   --              when an Interface ALI file is copied to the library
233   --              directory.
234
235   --         SS   This unit references System.Secondary_Stack (that is,
236   --              the unit makes use of the secondary stack facilities).
237
238   --         Tx   A valid Task_Dispatching_Policy pragma applies to all
239   --              the units in this file, where x is the first character
240   --              (upper case) of the corresponding policy name (e.g. 'F'
241   --              for FIFO_Within_Priorities).
242
243   --         UA  Unreserve_All_Interrupts pragma was processed in one or
244   --             more units in this file
245
246   --         ZX  Units in this file use zero-cost exceptions and have
247   --             generated exception tables. If ZX is not present, the
248   --             longjmp/setjmp exception scheme is in use.
249
250   --      Note that language defined units never output policy (Lx, Tx, Qx)
251   --      parameters. Language defined units must correctly handle all
252   --      possible cases. These values are checked for consistency by the
253   --      binder and then copied to the generated binder output file.
254
255   --    Note: The P line must be present. Even in Ignore_Errors mode, Scan_ALI
256   --    insists on finding a P line. So if changes are made to the ALI format,
257   --    they should not include removing the P line.
258
259   --  ---------------------
260   --  -- R  Restrictions --
261   --  ---------------------
262
263   --  There are two forms for R lines, positional and named. The positional
264   --  notation is now considered obsolescent, it is not generated by the most
265   --  recent versions of the compiler except under control of the debug switch
266   --  -gnatdR, but is still recognized by the binder.
267
268   --  The recognition by the binder is to ease the transition, and better deal
269   --  with some cases of inconsistent builds using incompatible versions of
270   --  the compiler and binder. The named notation is the current preferred
271   --  approach.
272
273   --  Note that R lines are generated using the information in unit Rident,
274   --  and intepreted by the binder using the information in System.Rident.
275   --  Normally these two units should be effectively identical. However in
276   --  some cases of inconsistent builds, they may be different. This may lead
277   --  to binder diagnostics, which can be suppressed using the -C switch for
278   --  the binder, which results in ignoring unrecognized restrictions in the
279   --  ali files.
280
281   --  ---------------------------------------
282   --  -- R  Restrictions (Positional Form) --
283   --  ---------------------------------------
284
285   --  The first R line records the status of restrictions generated by pragma
286   --  Restrictions encountered, as well as information on what the compiler
287   --  has been able to determine with respect to restrictions violations.
288   --  The format is:
289
290   --    R <<restriction-characters>> <<restriction-param-id-entries>>
291
292   --      The first parameter is a string of characters that records
293   --      information regarding restrictions that do not take parameter not
294   --      take parameter values. It is a string of characters, one character
295   --      for each value (in order) in All_Boolean_Restrictions. There are
296   --      three possible settings for each restriction:
297
298   --        r   Restricted. Unit was compiled under control of a pragma
299   --            Restrictions for the corresponding restriction. In this case
300   --            the unit certainly does not violate the Restriction, since
301   --            this would have been detected by the compiler.
302
303   --        n   Not used. The unit was not compiled under control of a pragma
304   --            Restrictions for the corresponding restriction, and does not
305   --            make any use of the referenced feature.
306
307   --        v   Violated. The unit was not compiled under control of a pragma
308   --            Restrictions for the corresponding restriction, and it does
309   --            indeed use the referenced feature.
310
311   --      This information is used in the binder to check consistency, i.e. to
312   --      detect cases where one unit has "r" and another unit has "v", which
313   --      is not permitted, since these restrictions are partition-wide.
314
315   --  The second parameter, which immediately follows the first (with no
316   --  separating space) gives restriction information for identifiers for
317   --  which a parameter is given.
318
319   --      The parameter is a string of entries, one for each value in
320   --      Restrict.All_Parameter_Restrictions. Each entry has two components
321   --      in sequence, the first indicating whether or not there is a
322   --      restriction, and the second indicating whether or not the compiler
323   --      detected violations. In the boolean case it is not necessary to
324   --      separate these, since if a restriction is set, and violated, that is
325   --      an error. But in the parameter case, this is not true. For example,
326   --      we can have a unit with a pragma Restrictions (Max_Tasks => 4),
327   --      where the compiler can detect that there are exactly three tasks
328   --      declared. Both of these pieces of information must be passed to the
329   --      binder. The parameter of 4 is important in case the total number of
330   --      tasks in the partition is greater than 4. The parameter of 3 is
331   --      important in case some other unit has a restrictions pragma with
332   --      Max_Tasks=>2.
333
334   --      The component for the presence of restriction has one of two
335   --      possible forms:
336
337   --         n   No pragma for this restriction is present in the set of units
338   --             for this ali file.
339
340   --         rN  At least one pragma for this restriction is present in the
341   --             set of units for this ali file. The value N is the minimum
342   --             parameter value encountered in any such pragma. N is in the
343   --             range of Integer (a value larger than N'Last causes the
344   --             pragma to be ignored).
345
346   --      The component for the violation detection has one of three
347   --      possible forms:
348
349   --         n   No violations were detected by the compiler
350
351   --         vN  A violation was detected. N is either the maximum or total
352   --             count of violations (depending on the checking type) in all
353   --             the units represented by the ali file). Note that this
354   --             setting is only allowed for restrictions that are in
355   --             Checked_[Max|Sum]_Parameter_Restrictions. The value here is
356   --             known to be exact by the compiler and is in the range of
357   --             Natural.
358
359   --         vN+ A violation was detected. The compiler cannot determine
360   --             the exact count of violations, but it is at least N.
361
362   --      There are no spaces within the parameter string, so the entry
363   --      described above in the header of this section for Max_Tasks would
364   --      appear as the string r4v3.
365
366   --      Note: The restrictions line is required to be present. Even in
367   --      Ignore_Errors mode, Scan_ALI expects to find an R line and will
368   --      signal a fatal error if it is missing. This means that future
369   --      changes to the ALI file format must retain the R line.

372   --  -- R  Restrictions (Named Form) --
373   --  ----------------------------------
374
375   --  The first R line for named form announces that named notation will be
376   --  used, and also assures that there is at least one R line present, which
377   --  makes parsing of ali files simpler. A blank line preceds the RN line.
378
379   --  RN
380
381   --  In named notation, the restrictions are given as a series of lines,
382   --  one per restrictions that is specified or violated (no information is
383   --  present for restrictions that are not specified or violated). In the
384   --  following name is the name of the restriction in all upper case.
385
386   --  For boolean restrictions, we have only two possibilities. A restrictions
387   --  pragma is present, or a violation is detected:
388
389   --  RR name
390
391   --    A restriction pragma is present for the named boolean restriction.
392   --    No violations were detected by the compiler (or the unit in question
393   --    would have been found to be illegal).
394
395   --  RV name
396
397   --    No restriction pragma is present for the named boolean restriction.
398   --    However, the compiler did detect one or more violations of this
399   --    restriction, which may require a binder consistency check. Note that
400   --    one case of a violation is the use of a Restriction_Set attribute for
401   --    the restriction that yielded False.
402
403   --  For the case of restrictions that take a parameter, we need both the
404   --  information from pragma if present, and the actual information about
405   --  what possible violations occur. For example, we can have a unit with
406   --  a pragma Restrictions (Max_Tasks => 4), where the compiler can detect
407   --  that there are exactly three tasks declared. Both of these pieces
408   --  of information must be passed to the binder. The parameter of 4 is
409   --  important in case the total number of tasks in the partition is greater
410   --  than 4. The parameter of 3 is important in case some other unit has a
411   --  restrictions pragma with Max_Tasks=>2.
412
413   --  RR name=N
414
415   --    A restriction pragma is present for the named restriction which is
416   --    one of the restrictions taking a parameter. The value N (a decimal
417   --    integer) is the value given in the restriction pragma.
418
419   --  RV name=N
420
421   --    A restriction pragma may or may not be present for the restriction
422   --    given by name (one of the restrictions taking a parameter). But in
423   --    either case, the compiler detected possible violations. N (a decimal
424   --    integer) is the maximum or total count of violations (depending
425   --    on the checking type) in all the units represented by the ali file).
426   --    The value here is known to be exact by the compiler and is in the
427   --    range of Natural. Note that if an RR line is present for the same
428   --    restriction, then the value in the RV line cannot exceed the value
429   --    in the RR line (since otherwise the compiler would have detected a
430   --    violation of the restriction).
431
432   --  RV name=N+
433
434   --    Similar to the above, but the compiler cannot determine the exact
435   --    count of violations, but it is at least N.

438   --  -- R  Restrictions (No_Dependence Information) --
439   --  -------------------------------------------------
440
441   --  Subsequent R lines are present only if pragma Restriction No_Dependence
442   --  is used. There is one such line for each such pragma appearing in the
443   --  extended main unit. The format is:

445   --    R unit_name

510
511   --      This line identifies the unit to which this section of the library
512   --      information file applies. The first three parameters are the unit

519

522
523   --         BD  Unit does not have pragma Elaborate_Body, but the elaboration
524   --             circuit has determined that it would be a good idea if this
525   --             pragma were present, since the body of the package contains
526   --             elaboration code that modifies one or more variables in the
527   --             visible part of the package. The binder will try, but does
528   --             not promise, to keep the elaboration of the body close to

535   --         EB  Unit has pragma Elaborate_Body, or is a generic instance that
536   --             has a body. Set for instances because RM 12.3(20) requires
537   --             that the body be immediately elaborated after the spec (we
538   --             would normally do that anyway, because elaborate spec and
539   --             body together whenever possible, and for an instance it is
540   --             always possible; however setting EB ensures that this is done
541   --             even when using the -p gnatbind switch).
542
543   --         EE  Elaboration entity is present which must be set true when
544   --             the unit is elaborated. The name of the elaboration entity is
545   --             formed from the unit name in the usual way. If EE is present,
546   --             then this boolean must be set True as part of the elaboration
547   --             processing routine generated by the binder. Note that EE can

776   --  units depend. This is used by the binder for consistency checking.
777   --  These lines are also referenced by the cross-reference information.
778
779   --    D source-name time-stamp checksum (sub)unit-name line:file-name
780
781   --      source-name also includes preprocessing data file and preprocessing
782   --      definition file. These preprocessing files may be given as full
783   --      path names instead of simple file names. If a full path name
784   --      includes a directory with spaces, the path name is quoted (quote
785   --      characters (") added at start and end, and any internal quotes are
786   --      doubled).
787
788   --      The time-stamp field contains the time stamp of the corresponding
789   --      source file. See types.ads for details on time stamp representation.
790
791   --      The checksum is an 8-hex digit representation of the source file
792   --      checksum, with letters given in lower case.
793
794   --      If the unit is not a subunit, the (sub)unit name is the unit name in
795   --      internal format, as described in package Uname. If the unit is a
796   --      subunit, the (sub)unit name is the fully qualified name of the
797   --      subunit in all lower case letters.
798
799   --      The line:file-name entry is present only if a Source_Reference
800   --      pragma appeared in the source file identified by source-name. In
801   --      this case, it gives the information from this pragma. Note that this
802   --      allows cross-reference information to be related back to the
803   --      original file. Note: the reason the line number comes first is that
804   --      a leading digit immediately identifies this as a Source_Reference
805   --      entry, rather than a subunit-name.
806
807   --      A line number of zero for line: in this entry indicates that there
808   --      is more than one source reference pragma. In this case, the line
809   --      numbers in the cross-reference are correct, and refer to the
810   --      original line number, but there is no information that allows a
811   --      reader of the ALI file to determine the exact mapping of physical
812   --      line numbers back to the original source.
813
814   --      Files with a zero checksum and a non-zero time stamp are in general
815   --      files on which the compilation depends but which are not Ada files
816   --      with further dependencies. This includes preprocessor data files
817   --      and preprocessor definition files.
818
819   --      Note: blank lines are ignored when the library information is read,
820   --      and separate sections of the file are separated by blank lines to
821   --      ease readability. Blanks between fields are also ignored.
822
823   --      For entries corresponding to files that were not present (and thus
824   --      resulted in error messages), or for files that are not part of the
825   --      dependency set, both the time stamp and checksum are set to all zero
826   --      characters. These dummy entries are ignored by the binder in
827   --      dependency checking, but must be present for proper interpretation
828   --      of the cross-reference data.
