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 GNAT Studio and newer versions of the
60   --  compiler.
61
62   --  If the following guidelines are respected, downward compatibility
63   --  problems (old tools reading new ali files) should be minimized:
64
65   --    The basic key character format must be kept
66
67   --    The V line must be the first line, this is checked by ali.adb even in
68   --    Ignore_Errors mode, and is used to verify that the file at hand is
69   --    indeed likely intended to be an ali file.
70
71   --    The P line must be present, though may be modified in contents
72   --    according to remaining guidelines. Again, ali.adb assumes the P
73   --    line is present even in Ignore_Errors mode.
74
75   --    New modifiers can generally be added (in particular adding new two
76   --    letter modifiers to the P or U lines is always safe)
77
78   --    Adding entirely new lines (with a new key letter) to the ali file is
79   --    always safe, at any point (other than before the V line), since such
80   --    lines will be ignored.
81
82   --  Following the guidelines in this section should ensure that this problem
83   --  is minimized and that old tools will be able to deal successfully with
84   --  new ali formats. Note that this does not apply to the compiler itself,
85   --  which always requires consistency between the ali files and the binder.
86   --  That is because one of the main functions of the binder is to ensure
87   --  consistency of the partition, and this can be compromised if the ali
88   --  files are inconsistent.
89
90   ------------------
91   -- Header Lines --
92   ------------------
93
94   --  The initial header lines in the file give information about the
95   --  compilation environment, and identify other special information such as
96   --  main program parameters.
97
98   --  ----------------
99   --  -- V  Version --
100   --  ----------------
101
102   --    V "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
103   --
104   --      This line indicates the library output version, as defined in
105   --      Gnatvsn. It ensures that separate object modules of a program are
106   --      consistent. It has to be changed if anything changes which would
107   --      affect successful binding of separately compiled modules. Examples
108   --      of such changes are modifications in the format of the library info
109   --      described in this package, or modifications to calling sequences, or
110   --      to the way that data is represented.
111
112   --    Note: the V line absolutely must be the first line, and no change
113   --    to the ALI format should change this, since even in Ignore_Errors
114   --    mode, Scan_ALI insists on finding a V line.

121
122   --      This line appears only if the main unit for this file is suitable

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

130
131   --        priority
132
133   --          Present only if there was a valid pragma Priority in the

136
137   --        T=time-slice
138
139   --          Present only if there was a valid pragma Time_Slice in the

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

152
153   --          This parameter indicates the wide character encoding method used
154   --          when compiling the main program file. The ? character is the

175   --      Indicates various information that applies to the compilation of the

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

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

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

767   -- Reference Lines --
768   ---------------------
769
770   --  The reference lines contain information about references from any of the
771   --  units in the compilation (including body version and version attributes,
772   --  linker options pragmas and source dependencies).
773
774   --  ------------------------------------
775   --  -- E  External Version References --
776   --  ------------------------------------
777
778   --  One of these lines is present for each use of 'Body_Version or 'Version
779   --  in any of the units of the compilation. These are used by the linker to
780   --  determine which version symbols must be output. The format is simply:
781
782   --    E name
783
784   --  where name is the external name, i.e. the unit name with either a S or a
785   --  B for spec or body version referenced (Body_Version always references
786   --  the body, Version references the Spec, except in the case of a reference
787   --  to a subprogram with no separate spec). Upper half and wide character
788   --  codes are encoded using the same method as in Namet (Uhh for upper half,
789   --  Whhhh for wide character, where hh are hex digits).
790
791   --  ---------------------
792   --  -- D  Dependencies --
793   --  ---------------------
794
795   --  The dependency lines indicate the source files on which the compiled
796   --  units depend. This is used by the binder for consistency checking.
797   --  These lines are also referenced by the cross-reference information.
798
799   --    D source-name time-stamp checksum (sub)unit-name line:file-name
800
801   --      source-name also includes preprocessing data file and preprocessing
802   --      definition file. These preprocessing files may be given as full
803   --      path names instead of simple file names. If a full path name
804   --      includes a directory with spaces, the path name is quoted (quote
805   --      characters (") added at start and end, and any internal quotes are
806   --      doubled).
807
808   --      The time-stamp field contains the time stamp of the corresponding
809   --      source file. See types.ads for details on time stamp representation.
810
811   --      The checksum is an 8-hex digit representation of the source file
812   --      checksum, with letters given in lower case.
813
814   --      If the unit is not a subunit, the (sub)unit name is the unit name in
815   --      internal format, as described in package Uname. If the unit is a
816   --      subunit, the (sub)unit name is the fully qualified name of the
817   --      subunit in all lower case letters.
818
819   --      The line:file-name entry is present only if a Source_Reference
820   --      pragma appeared in the source file identified by source-name. In
821   --      this case, it gives the information from this pragma. Note that this
822   --      allows cross-reference information to be related back to the
823   --      original file. Note: the reason the line number comes first is that
824   --      a leading digit immediately identifies this as a Source_Reference
825   --      entry, rather than a subunit-name.
826
827   --      A line number of zero for line: in this entry indicates that there
828   --      is more than one source reference pragma. In this case, the line
829   --      numbers in the cross-reference are correct, and refer to the
830   --      original line number, but there is no information that allows a
831   --      reader of the ALI file to determine the exact mapping of physical
832   --      line numbers back to the original source.
833
834   --      Files with a zero checksum and a non-zero time stamp are in general
835   --      files on which the compilation depends but which are not Ada files
836   --      with further dependencies. This includes preprocessor data files
837   --      and preprocessor definition files.
838
839   --      Note: blank lines are ignored when the library information is read,
840   --      and separate sections of the file are separated by blank lines to
841   --      ease readability. Blanks between fields are also ignored.
842
843   --      For entries corresponding to files that were not present (and thus
844   --      resulted in error messages), or for files that are not part of the
845   --      dependency set, both the time stamp and checksum are set to all zero
846   --      characters. These dummy entries are ignored by the binder in
847   --      dependency checking, but must be present for proper interpretation
848   --      of the cross-reference data.
