   -- Documentation for Compiler Debug Flags --
   --------------------------------------------

   --  da   Generate messages tracking semantic analyzer progress. A message
   --       is output showing each node as it gets analyzed, expanded,
   --       resolved, or evaluated. This option is useful for finding out
   --       exactly where a bomb during semantic analysis is occurring.

   --  db   In Exp_Dbug, certain type names are encoded to include debugging
   --       information. This debug switch causes lines to be output showing
   --       the encodings used.

   --  dc   List names of units as they are compiled. One line of output will
   --       be generated at the start of compiling each unit (package or
   --       subprogram).

   --  dd   Dynamic allocation of tables messages generated. Each time a
   --       table is reallocated, a line is output indicating the expansion.

   --  de   List the entity table

   --  df   Full tree/source print (includes withed units). Normally the tree
   --       output (dt) or recreated source output (dg,do,ds) includes only
   --       the main unit. If df is set, then the output in either case
   --       includes all compiled units (see also dg,do,ds,dt). Note that to
   --       be effective, this swich must be used in combination with one or
   --       more of dt, dg, do or ds.

   --  dg   Print the source recreated from the generated tree. In the case
   --       where the tree has been rewritten this output includes only the
   --       generated code, not the original code (see also df,do,ds,dz).
   --       This flag differs from -gnatG in that the output also includes
   --       non-source generated null statements, and freeze nodes, which
   --       are normally omitted in -gnatG mode.

   --  dh   Generates a table at the end of a compilation showing how the hash
   --       table chains built by the Namet package are loaded. This is useful
   --       in ensuring that the hashing algorithm (in Namet.Hash) is working
   --       effectively with typical sets of program identifiers.

   --  di   Generate messages for visibility linking/delinking

   --  dj   Suppress "junk null check" for access parameters. This flag permits
   --       Ada programs to pass null parameters to access parameters, and to
   --       explicitly check such access values against the null literal.
   --       Neither of these is valid Ada, but both were allowed in versions of
   --       GNAT before 3.10, so this switch can ease the transition process.

   --  dk   Immediate kill on abort. Normally on an abort (i.e. a call to
   --       Comperr.Compiler_Abort), the GNATBUG message is not given if
   --       there is a previous error. This debug switch bypasses this test
   --       and gives the message unconditionally (useful for debugging).

   --  dl   Generate unit load trace messages. A line of traceback output is
   --       generated each time a request is made to the library manager to
   --       load a new unit.

   --  dm   Some features are permitted only in OpenVMS ports of GNAT (e.g.
   --       the specification of passing by descriptor). Normally any use
   --       of these features will be flagged as an error, but this debug
   --       flag allows acceptance of these features in non OpenVMS ports.
   --       Of course they may not have any useful effect, and in particular
   --       attempting to generate code with this flag set may blow up.
   --       The flag also forces the use of 64-bits for Long_Integer.

   --  dn   Generate messages for node/list allocation. Each time a node or
   --       list header is allocated, a line of output is generated. Certain
   --       other basic tree operations also cause a line of output to be
   --       generated. This option is useful in seeing where the parser is
   --       blowing up.

   --  do   Print the source recreated from the generated tree. In the case
   --       where the tree has been rewritten, this output includes only the
   --       original code, not the generated code (see also df,dg,ds,dz).

   --  dp   Generate messages for parser scope stack push/pops. A line of
   --       output by the parser each time the parser scope stack is either
   --       pushed or popped. Useful in debugging situations where the
   --       parser scope stack ends up incorrectly synchronized

   --  dq   In layout version 1.38, 2002/01/12, a circuit was implemented
   --       to give decent default alignment to short records that had no
   --       specific alignment set. This debug option restores the previous
   --       behavior of giving such records poor alignments, typically 1.
   --       This may be useful in dealing with transition.

   --  dr   Generate parser resynchronization messages. Normally the parser
   --       resynchronizes quietly. With this debug option, two messages
   --       are generated, one when the parser starts a resynchronization
   --       skip, and another when it resumes parsing. Useful in debugging
   --       inadequate error recovery situations.

   --  ds   Print the source recreated from the generated tree. In the case
   --       where the tree has been rewritten this output includes both the
   --       generated code and the original code with the generated code
   --       being enlosed in curly brackets (see also df,do,ds,dz)

   --  dt   Print full tree. The generated tree is output (see also df,dy)

   --  du   Uncheck categorization pragmas. This debug switch causes the
   --       categorization pragmas (Pure, Preelaborate etc) to be ignored
   --       so that normal checks are not made (this is particularly useful
   --       for adding temporary debugging code to units that have pragmas
   --       that are inconsistent with the debugging code added.

   --  dv   Output trace of overload resolution. Outputs messages for
   --       overload attempts that involve cascaded errors, or where
   --       an interepretation is incompatible with the context.

   --  dw   Write semantic scope stack messages. Each time a scope is created
   --       or removed, a message is output (see the Sem_Ch8.Push_Scope and
   --       Sem_Ch8.Pop_Scope subprograms).

   --  dx   Force expansion on, even if no code being generated. Normally the
   --       expander is inhibited if no code is generated. This switch forces
   --       expansion to proceed normally even if the backend is not being
   --       called. This is particularly useful for debugging purposes when
   --       using the front-end only version of the compiler (which normally
   --       would never do any expansion).

   --  dy   Print tree of package Standard. Normally the tree print out does
   --       not include package Standard, even if the -df switch is set. This
   --       switch forces output of the internal tree built for Standard.

   --  dz   Print source of package Standard. Normally the source print out
   --       does not include package Standard, even if the -df switch is set.
   --       This switch forces output of the source recreated from the internal
   --       tree built for Standard. Note that this differs from -gnatS in
   --       that it prints from the actual tree using the normal Sprint
   --       circuitry for printing trees.

   --  dA   Forces output of representation information, including full
   --       information for all internal type and object entities, as well
   --       as all user defined type and object entities including private
   --       and incomplete types. This debug switch also automatically sets
   --       the equivalent of -gnatR3m.

   --  dB   Output debug encodings for types and variants. See Exp_Dbug for
   --       exact form of the generated output.

   --  dC   Output trace information showing the decisions made during
   --       check suppression activity in unit Checks.

   --  dD   Delete new elaboration checks. This flag causes GNAT to return
   --       to the 3.13a elaboration semantics, and to suppress the fixing
   --       of two bugs. The first is in the context of inner routines in
   --       dynamic elaboration mode, when the subprogram we are in was
   --       called at elaboration time by a unit that was also compiled with
   --       dynamic elaboration checks. In this case, if A calls B calls C,
   --       and all are in different units, we need an elaboration check at
   --       each call. These nested checks were only put in recently (see
   --       version 1.80 of Sem_Elab) and we provide this debug flag to
   --       revert to the previous behavior in case of regressions. The
   --       other behavior reverted by this flag is the treatment of the
   --       Elaborate_Body pragma in static elaboration mode. This used to
   --       be treated as not needing elaboration checking, but in fact in
   --       general Elaborate_All is still required because of nested calls.

   --  dE   Apply compile time elaboration checking for with relations between
   --       predefined units. Normally no checks are made (it seems that at
   --       least on the SGI, such checks run into trouble).

   --  dF   Front end data layout enabled. Normally front end data layout
   --       is only enabled if the target parameter Backend_Layout is False.
   --       This debugging switch enables it unconditionally.

   --  dG   Generate all warnings. Normally Errout suppresses warnings on
   --       units that are not part of the main extended source, and also
   --       suppresses warnings on instantiations in the main extended
   --       source that duplicate warnings already posted on the template.
   --       This switch stops both kinds of deletion and causes Errout to
   --       post all warnings sent to it.

   --  dH   Inhibit call to gigi. This is useful for testing front end data
   --       layout, and may be useful in other debugging situations where
   --       you do not want gigi to intefere with the testing.

   --  dI   Inhibit internal name numbering in gnatDG listing. Any sequence of
   --       the form <uppercase-letter><digits><lowercase-letter> appearing in
   --       a name is replaced by <uppercase-letter>...<lowercase-letter>. This
   --       is used in the fixed bugs run to minimize system and version
   --       dependency in filed -gnatD or -gnatG output.

   --  dJ   Generate debugging trace output for the JGNAT back end. This
   --       consists of symbolic Java Byte Code sequences for all generated
   --       classes plus additional information to indicate local variables
   --       and methods.

   --  dK   Kill all error messages. This debug flag suppresses the output
   --       of all error messages. It is used in regression tests where the
   --       error messages are target dependent and irrelevant.

   --  dL   Output trace information on elaboration checking. This debug
   --       switch causes output to be generated showing each call or
   --       instantiation as it is checked, and the progress of the recursive
   --       trace through calls at elaboration time.

   --  dM   Assume all variables have been modified, and ignore current value
   --       indications. This debug flag disconnects the tracking of constant
   --       values (see Exp_Ch2.Expand_Current_Value).

   --  dN   Do not generate file name information in exception messages

   --  dO   Output immediate error messages. This causes error messages to
   --       be output as soon as they are generated (disconnecting several
   --       circuits for improvement of messages, deletion of duplicate
   --       messages etc). Useful to diagnose compiler bombs caused by
   --       erroneous handling of error situations

   --  dP   Do not check for controlled objects in preelaborable packages.
   --       RM 10.2.1(9) forbids the use of library level controlled objects
   --       in preelaborable packages, but this restriction is a huge pain,
   --       especially in the predefined library units.

   --  dQ   Eliminate check for duplicate external tags. This check was added
   --       as per AI 0113, and causes some backward compatibility problems.
   --       It is never legitimate to have duplicate external tags, so the
   --       check is certainly valid, but this debug switch can be useful for
   --       enabling previous behavior of ignoring this problem.

   --  dR   Bypass the check for a proper version of s-rpc being present
   --       to use the -gnatz? switch. This allows debugging of the use
   --       of stubs generation without needing to have GLADE (or some
   --       other PCS  installed).

   --  dS   Omit conversion of fpt numbers to exact machine numbers in
   --       non-static evaluation contexts (see Check_Non_Static_Context).
   --       This is intended for testing out timing problems with this
   --       conversion circuit.

   --  dT   Similar to dS, but omits the conversions only in the case where
   --       the parent is not a constant declaration.

   --  dU   Enable garbage collection of unreachable entities. This enables
   --       both the reachability analysis and changing the Is_Public and
   --       Is_Eliminated flags.

   --  dV   Enable viewing of all symbols in debugger. Causes debug information
   --       to be generated for all symbols, including internal symbols. This
   --       is enabled by default for -gnatD, but this switch allows this to
   --       be enabled without generating modified source files. Note that the
   --       use of -gnatdV ensures in the dwarf/elf case that all symbols that
   --       are present in the elf tables are also in the dwarf tables (which
   --       seems to be required by some tools). Another effect of dV is to
   --       generate full qualified names, including internal names generated
   --       for blocks and loops.

   --  dW   Disable warnings when a possibly uninitialized scalar value is
   --       passed to an IN OUT parameter of a procedure. This usage is a
   --       quite improper bounded error [erroneous in Ada 83] situation,
   --       and would normally generate a warning. However, to ease the
   --       task of transitioning incorrect legacy code, we provide this
   --       undocumented feature for suppressing these warnings.

   --  dY   Enable configurable run-time mode, just as though the System file
   --       had Configurable_Run_Time_Mode set to True. This is useful in
   --       testing high integrity mode.

   --  dZ   Generate listing showing the contents of the dispatch tables. Each
   --       line has an internally generated number used for references between
   --       tagged types and primitives. For each primitive the output has the
   --       following fields:
   --
   --         - Letter 'P' or letter 's': The former indicates that this
   --           primitive will be located in a primary dispatch table. The
   --           latter indicates that it will be located in a secondary
   --           dispatch table.
   --
   --         - Name of the primitive. In case of predefined Ada primitives
   --           the text "(predefined)" is added before the name, and these
   --           acronyms are used: SR (Stream_Read), SW (Stream_Write), SI
   --           (Stream_Input), SO (Stream_Output), DA (Deep_Adjust), DF
   --           (Deep_Finalize). In addition Oeq identifies the equality
   --           operator, and "_assign" the assignment.
   --
   --         - If the primitive covers interface types, two extra fields
   --           referencing other primitives are generated: "Alias" references
   --           the primitive of the tagged type that covers an interface
   --           primitive, and "AI_Alias" references the covered interface
   --           primitive.
   --
   --         - The expression "at #xx" indicates the slot of the dispatch
   --           table occupied by such primitive in its corresponding primary
   --           or secondary dispatch table.
   --
   --         - In case of abstract subprograms the text "is abstract" is
   --           added at the end of the line.

   --  d.a  Force Target_Strict_Alignment to True, even on targets where it
   --       would normally be false. Can be used for testing strict alignment
   --       circuitry in the compiler.

   --  d.b  Dump back end types. During Create_Standard, the back end is
   --       queried for all available types. This option shows them.

   --  d.c  Generate inline concatenation, instead of calling one of the
   --       System.Concat_n.Str_Concat_n routines in cases where the latter
   --       routines would normally be called.

   --  d.d  Disable atomic synchronization for all atomic variable references.
   --       Pragma Enable_Atomic_Synchronization is ignored.

   --  d.e  Enable atomic synchronization for all atomic variable references.
   --       Pragma Disable_Atomic_Synchronization is ignored, and also the
   --       compiler switch -gnated is ignored.

   --  d.f  Suppress folding of static expressions. This of course results
   --       in seriously non-conforming behavior, but is useful sometimes
   --       when tracking down handling of complex expressions.

   --  d.g  Enables conversion of a raise statement into a goto when the
   --       relevant handler is statically determinable. For now we only try
   --       this if this debug flag is set. Later we will enable this more
   --       generally by default.

   --  d.i  Ignore all occurrences of pragma Warnings in the sources. This can
   --       be used in particular to disable Warnings (Off) to check if any of
   --       these statements are inappropriate.

   --  d.l  Use Ada 95 semantics for limited function returns. This may be
   --       used to work around the incompatibility introduced by AI-318-2.
   --       It is useful only in -gnat05 mode.

   --  d.m  When -gnatl is used, the normal output includes full listings of
   --       all files in the extended main source (body/spec/subunits). If this
   --       debug switch is used, then the full listing is given only for the
   --       main source (this corresponds to a previous behavior of -gnatl and
   --       is used for running the ACATS tests).

   --  d.n  Print source file names as they are loaded. This is useful if the
   --       compiler has a bug -- these are the files that need to be included
   --       in a bug report.

   --  d.o  Generate listing showing the IL instructions generated by the .NET
   --       compiler for each subprogram.

   --  d.p  Enable the .NET CIL verifier. During development the verifier is
   --       disabled by default and this flag is used to enable it. In the
   --       future we will reverse this functionality.

   --  d.r  Forces the flag OK_To_Reorder_Components to be set in all record
   --       base types that have no discriminants.

   --  d.s  Normally the compiler expands slice moves into loops if overlap
   --       might be possible. This debug flag inhibits that expansion, and
   --       the back end is expected to use an appropriate routine to handle
   --       overlap, based on Forward_OK and Backwards_OK flags.

   --  d.t  The compiler has been modified (a fairly extensive modification)
   --       to generate static dispatch tables for library level tagged types.
   --       This debug switch disables this modification and reverts to the
   --       previous dynamic construction of tables. It is there as a possible
   --       work around if we run into trouble with the new implementation.

   --  d.v  Forces the flag OK_To_Reorder_Components to be set in all record
   --       base types that have at least one discriminant (v = variant).

   --  d.w  This flag turns off the scanning of loops to detect possible
   --       infinite loops.

   --  d.A  There seems to be a problem with ASIS if we activate the circuit
   --       for reading and writing the aspect specification hash table, so
   --       for now, this is controlled by the debug flag d.A. The hash table
   --       is only written and read if this flag is set.

   --  d.x  No exception handlers in generated code. This causes exception
   --       handlers to be eliminated from the generated code. They are still
   --       fully compiled and analyzed, they just get eliminated from the
   --       code generation step.

   --  d.C  Generate call to System.Concat_n.Str_Concat_n routines in cases
   --       where we would normally generate inline concatenation code.

   --  d.D  Strict Alfa mode. Interpret compiler permissions as strictly as
   --       possible in Alfa mode.

   --  d.E  Force Alfa mode for gnat2why. In this mode, errors are issued for
   --       all violations of Alfa in user code, and warnings are issued for
   --       constructs not yet implemented in gnat2why.

   --  d.F  Alfa mode. Generate AST in a form suitable for formal verification,
   --       as well as additional cross reference information in ALI files to
   --       compute effects of subprograms.

   --  d.G  Precondition only mode for gnat2why. In this mode, gnat2why will
   --       only generate Why code that checks for the well-guardedness of
   --       preconditions.

   --  d.H  Standard package only mode for gnat2why. In this mode, gnat2why
   --       will only generate Why code for package Standard. Any given input
   --       file will be ignored.

   --  d.I  Generate SCIL mode. Generate intermediate code for the sake of
   --       of static analysis tools, and ensure additional tree consistency
   --       between different compilations of specs.

   --  d.J  Disable parallel SCIL generation. Normally SCIL file generation is
   --       done in parallel to speed processing. This switch disables this
   --       behavior.

   --  d.K  Alfa detection only mode for gnat2why. In this mode, gnat2why
   --       will only generate the .alfa file, but no Why code.

   --  d.L  Normally the front end generates special expansion for conditional
   --       expressions of a limited type. This debug flag removes this special
   --       case expansion, leaving it up to the back end to handle conditional
   --       expressions correctly.

   --  d.O  Dump internal SCO tables. Before outputting the SCO information to
   --       the ALI file, the internal SCO tables (SCO_Table/SCO_Unit_Table)
   --       are dumped for debugging purposes.

   --  d.P  Previous non-optimized handling of length comparisons. Setting this
   --       flag inhibits the effect of Optimize_Length_Comparison in Exp_Ch4.
   --       This is there in case we find a situation where the optimization
   --       malfunctions, to provide a work around.

   --  d.S  Force Optimize_Alignment (Space) mode as the default

   --  d.T  Force Optimize_Alignment (Time) mode as the default

   --  d.W  Print out debugging information for Walk_Library_Items, including
   --       the order in which units are walked. This is primarily for use in
   --       debugging CodePeer mode.

   --  d.X  By default, the compiler uses an elaborate rewriting framework for
   --       short-circuited forms where the right hand condition generates
   --       actions to be inserted. With the gcc backend, we now use the new
   --       N_Expression_With_Actions node for this expansion, but we still use
   --       the old method for other backends and in SCIL mode. This debug flag
   --       forces use of the new N_Expression_With_Actions node in these other
   --       cases and is intended for transitional use.

   --  d.Y  Prevents the use of the N_Expression_With_Actions node even in the
   --       case of the gcc back end. Provided as a back up in case the new
   --       scheme has problems.

   --  d1   Error messages have node numbers where possible. Normally error
   --       messages have only source locations. This option is useful when
   --       debugging errors caused by expanded code, where the source location
   --       does not give enough information.

   --  d2   Suppress output of the error position flags for verbose form error
   --       messages. The messages are still interspersed in the listing, but
   --       without any error flags or extra blank lines. Also causes an extra
   --       <<< to be output at the right margin. This is intended to be the
   --       easiest format for checking conformance of ACATS B tests. This
   --       flag also suppresses the additional messages explaining why a
   --       non-static expression is non-static (see Sem_Eval.Why_Not_Static).
   --       This avoids having to worry about these messages in ACATS testing.

   --  d3   Causes Comperr to dump the contents of the node for which an abort
   --       was detected (normally only the Node_Id of the node is output).

   --  d4   Inhibits automatic krunching of predefined library unit file names.
   --       Normally, as described in the spec of package Krunch, such files
   --       are automatically krunched to 8 characters, with special treatment
   --       of the prefixes Ada, System, and Interfaces. Setting this debug
   --       switch disables this special treatment.

   --  d5   Causes the tree read/write circuit to output detailed information
   --       tracking the data that is read and written element by element.

   --  d6   Normally access-to-unconstrained-array types are represented
   --       using fat (double) pointers. Using this debug flag causes them
   --       to default to thin. This can be used to test the performance
   --       implications of using thin pointers, and also to test that the
   --       compiler functions correctly with this choice.

   --  d7   Normally a -gnatl or -gnatv listing includes the time stamp
   --       of the source file. This debug flag suppresses this output,
   --       and also suppresses the message with the version number.
   --       This is useful in certain regression tests.

   --  d8   This forces the packed stuff to generate code assuming the
   --       opposite endianness from the actual correct value. Useful in
   --       testing out code generation from the packed routines.

   -- Documentation for Binder Debug Flags --
   ------------------------------------------

   --  da  Normally if there is an elaboration circularity, then in describing
   --      the cycle, links involving internal units are omitted, since they
   --      are irrelevant and confusing. This debug flag causes all links to
   --      be listed, and is useful when diagnosing circularities introduced
   --      by incorrect changes to the run-time library itself.

   --  db  Output debug information from Better_Choice in Binde, which uses
   --      various heuristics to determine elaboration order in cases where
   --      multiple orders are valid.

   --  dc  List units as they are chosen. As units are selected for addition to
   --      the elaboration order, a line of output is generated showing which
   --      unit has been selected.

   --  de  Similar to the effect of -e (output complete list of elaboration
   --      dependencies) except that internal units are included in the
   --      listing.

   --  di  Normally gnatbind calls Read_Ali with Ignore_Errors set to
   --      False, since the binder really needs correct version ALI
   --      files to do its job. This debug flag causes Ignore_Errors
   --      mode to be set for the binder (and is particularly useful
   --      for testing ignore errors mode).

   --  dn  List details of manipulation of Num_Pred values during execution of
   --      the algorithm used to determine a correct order of elaboration. This
   --      is useful in diagnosing any problems in its behavior.

   --  do  Use old elaboration order preference. The new preference rules
   --      prefer specs with no bodies to specs with bodies, and between two
   --      specs with bodies, prefers the one whose body is closer to being
   --      able to be elaborated. This is a clear improvement, but we provide
   --      this debug flag in case of regressions.

   --  du  List unit name and file name for each unit as it is read in

   --  dx  Force the binder to read (and then ignore) the xref information
   --      in ali files (used to check that read circuit is working OK).

   --------------------------------------------
   -- Documentation for gnatmake Debug Flags --
   --------------------------------------------

   --  df  Only output file names, not path names, in log

   --  dh  Generate listing showing loading of name table hash chains,
   --      same as for the compiler.

   --  dm  Issue a message indicating the maximum number of simultaneous
   --      compilations.

   --  dn  Do not delete temporary files created by gnatmake at the end
   --      of execution, such as temporary config pragma files, mapping
   --      files or project path files.

   --  dp  Prints the Q used by routine Make.Compile_Sources every time
   --      we go around the main compile loop of Make.Compile_Sources

   --  dq  Prints source files as they are enqueued and dequeued in the Q
   --      used by routine Make.Compile_Sources. Useful to figure out the
   --      order in which sources are recompiled.

   --  dt  When a time stamp mismatch has been found for an ALI file,
   --      display the source file name, the time stamp expected and
   --      the time stamp found.

   --  du  List unit name and file name for each unit as it is read in

   --  dw  Prints the list of units withed by the unit currently explored
   --      during the main loop of Make.Compile_Sources.
