34 -- Format of Cross-Reference Information in ALI File --
35 -------------------------------------------------------
37 -- Cross-reference sections follow the dependency section (D lines) in
38 -- an ALI file, so that they need not be read by gnatbind, gnatmake etc.
40 -- A cross reference section has a header of the form
42 -- X dependency-number filename
44 -- This header precedes xref information (entities/references from
45 -- the unit, identified by dependency number and file name. The
46 -- dependency number is the index into the generated D lines and
47 -- is ones origin (i.e. 2 = reference to second generated D line).
49 -- Note that the filename here will reflect the original name if
50 -- a Source_Reference pragma was encountered (since all line number
51 -- references will be with respect to the original file).
53 -- The lines following the header look like
55 -- line type col level entity renameref instref typeref overref ref ref
57 -- line is the line number of the referenced entity. The name of
58 -- the entity starts in column col. Columns are numbered from one,
59 -- and if horizontal tab characters are present, the column number
60 -- is computed assuming standard 1,9,17,.. tab stops. For example,
61 -- if the entity is the first token on the line, and is preceded
62 -- by space-HT-space, then the column would be column 10.
64 -- type is a single letter identifying the type of the entity.
65 -- See next section (Cross-Reference Entity Identifiers) for a
66 -- full list of the characters used).
68 -- col is the column number of the referenced entity
70 -- level is a single character that separates the col and
71 -- entity fields. It is an asterisk for a top level library
72 -- entity that is publicly visible, as well for an entity declared
73 -- in the visible part of a generic package, and space otherwise.
75 -- entity is the name of the referenced entity, with casing in
76 -- the canical casing for the source file where it is defined.
78 -- renameref provides information on renaming. If the entity is
79 -- a package, object or overloadable entity which is declared by
80 -- a renaming declaration, and the renaming refers to an entity
81 -- with a simple identifier or expanded name, then renameref has
86 -- Here line:col give the reference to the identifier that
87 -- appears in the renaming declaration. Note that we never need
88 -- a file entry, since this identifier is always in the current
89 -- file in which the entity is declared. Currently, renameref
90 -- appears only for the simple renaming case. If the renaming
91 -- reference is a complex expressions, then renameref is omitted.
92 -- Here line/col give line/column as defined above.
94 -- instref is only present for package and subprogram instances.
95 -- The information in instref is the location of the point of
96 -- declaration of the generic parent unit. This part has the form:
100 -- without column information, on the reasonable assumption that
101 -- there is only one unit per line (the same assumption is made
102 -- in references to entities that are declared within instances,
105 -- typeref is the reference for a related type. This part is
106 -- optional. It is present for the following cases:
108 -- derived types (points to the parent type) LR=<>
109 -- access types (points to designated type) LR=()
110 -- array types (points to component type) LR=()
111 -- subtypes (points to ancestor type) LR={}
112 -- functions (points to result type) LR={}
113 -- enumeration literals (points to enum type) LR={}
114 -- objects and components (points to type) LR={}
116 -- For a type that implements multiple interfaces, there is an
117 -- entry of the form LR=<> for each of the interfaces appearing
118 -- in the type declaration. In the data structures of ali.ads,
119 -- the type that the entity extends (or the first interface if
120 -- there is no such type) is stored in Xref_Entity_Record.Tref*,
121 -- additional interfaces are stored in the list of references
122 -- with a special type of Interface_Reference.
124 -- For an array type, there is an entry of the form LR=<> for
125 -- each of the index types appearing in the type declaration.
126 -- The index types follow the entry for the component type.
127 -- In the data structures of ali.ads, however, the list of index
128 -- types are output in the list of references with a special
129 -- Rtype set to Array_Index_Reference.
131 -- In the above list LR shows the brackets used in the output,
132 -- which has one of the two following forms:
134 -- L file | line type col R user entity
135 -- L name-in-lower-case R standard entity
137 -- For the form for a user entity, file is the dependency number
138 -- of the file containing the declaration of the related type.
139 -- This number and the following vertical bar are omitted if the
140 -- relevant type is defined in the same file as the current entity.
141 -- The line, type, col are defined as previously described, and
142 -- specify the location of the relevant type declaration in the
143 -- referenced file. For the standard entity form, the name between
144 -- the brackets is the normal name of the entity in lower case.
146 -- overref is present for overriding operations (procedures and
147 -- functions), and provides information on the operation that it
148 -- overrides. This information has the format:
150 -- '<' file | line 'o' col '>'
152 -- file is the dependency number of the file containing the
153 -- declaration of the overridden operation. It and the following
154 -- vertical bar are omitted if the file is the same as that of
155 -- the overriding operation.
157 -- There may be zero or more ref entries on each line
159 -- file | line type col [...]
161 -- file is the dependency number of the file with the reference.
162 -- It and the following vertical bar are omitted if the file is
163 -- the same as the previous ref, and the refs for the current
164 -- file are first (and do not need a bar).
166 -- line is the line number of the reference
168 -- col is the column number of the reference, as defined above
172 -- c = completion of private or incomplete type
173 -- d = discriminant of type
176 -- i = implicit reference
177 -- k = implicit reference to parent unit in child unit
178 -- l = label on END line
180 -- p = primitive operation
181 -- P = overriding primitive operation
183 -- R = subprogram reference in dispatching call
186 -- x = type extension
187 -- z = generic formal parameter
188 -- > = subprogram IN parameter
189 -- = = subprogram IN OUT parameter
190 -- < = subprogram OUT parameter
191 -- > = subprogram ACCESS parameter
193 -- b is used for spec entities that are repeated in a body,
194 -- including the unit (subprogram, package, task, protected
195 -- body, protected entry) name itself, and in the case of a
196 -- subprogram, the formals. This letter is also used for the
197 -- occurrence of entry names in accept statements. Such entities
198 -- are not considered to be definitions for cross-referencing
199 -- purposes, but rather are considered to be references to the
200 -- corresponding spec entities, marked with this special type.
202 -- c is similar to b but is used to mark the completion of a
203 -- private or incomplete type. As with b, the completion is not
204 -- regarded as a separate definition, but rather a reference to
205 -- the initial declaration, marked with this special type.
207 -- d is used to identify a discriminant of a type. If this is
208 -- an incomplete or private type with discriminants, the entry
209 -- denotes the occurrence of the discriminant in the partial view
210 -- which is also the point of definition of the discriminant.
211 -- The occurrence of the same discriminant in the full view is
212 -- a regular reference to it.
214 -- e is used to identify the end of a construct in the following
217 -- Block Statement end [block_IDENTIFIER];
218 -- Loop Statement end loop [loop_IDENTIFIER];
219 -- Package Specification end [[PARENT_UNIT_NAME .] IDENTIFIER];
220 -- Task Definition end [task_IDENTIFIER];
221 -- Protected Definition end [protected_IDENTIFIER];
222 -- Record Definition end record;
223 -- Enumeration Definition );
225 -- Note that 'e' entries are special in that they appear even
226 -- in referencing units (normally xref entries appear only
227 -- for references in the extended main source unit (see Lib) to
228 -- which the ali applies. But 'e' entries are really structural
229 -- and simply indicate where packages end. This information can
230 -- be used to reconstruct scope information for any entities
231 -- referenced from within the package. The line/column values
232 -- for these entries point to the semicolon ending the construct.
234 -- i is used to identify a reference to the entity in a generic
235 -- actual or in a default in a call. The node that denotes the
236 -- entity does not come from source, but it has the Sloc of the
237 -- source node that generates the implicit reference, and it is
238 -- useful to record this one.
240 -- k is used to denote a reference to the parent unit, in the
241 -- cross-reference line for a child unit.
243 -- l is used to identify the occurrence in the source of the
244 -- name on an end line. This is just a syntactic reference
245 -- which can be ignored for semantic purposes (such as call
246 -- graph construction). Again, in the case of an accept there
247 -- can be multiple l lines.
249 -- p is used to mark a primitive operation of the given entity.
250 -- For example, if we have a type Tx, and a primitive operation
251 -- Pq of this type, then an entry in the list of references to
252 -- Tx will point to the declaration of Pq. Note that this entry
253 -- type is unusual because it an implicit rather than explicit,
254 -- and the name of the refrerence does not match the name of the
255 -- entity for which a reference is generated. These entries are
256 -- generated only for entities declared in the extended main
257 -- source unit (main unit itself, its separate spec (if any).
258 -- and all subunits (considered recursively).
260 -- If the primitive operation overrides an inherited primitive
261 -- operation of the parent type, the letter 'P' is used in the
262 -- corresponding entry.
264 -- R is used to mark a dispatching call. The reference is to
265 -- the specification of the primitive operation of the root
266 -- type when the call has a controlling argument in its class.
268 -- t is similar to e. It identifies the end of a corresponding
269 -- body (such a reference always links up with a b reference)
271 -- Subprogram Body end [DESIGNATOR];
272 -- Package Body end [[PARENT_UNIT_NAME .] IDENTIFIER];
273 -- Task Body end [task_IDENTIFIER];
274 -- Entry Body end [entry_IDENTIFIER];
275 -- Protected Body end [protected_IDENTIFIER]
276 -- Accept Statement end [entry_IDENTIFIER]];
278 -- Note that in the case of accept statements, there can
279 -- be multiple b and t entries for the same entity.
281 -- x is used to identify the reference as the entity from which
282 -- a tagged type is extended. This allows immediate access to
283 -- the parent of a tagged type.
285 -- z is used on the cross-reference line for a generic unit, to
286 -- mark the definition of a generic formal of the unit.
287 -- This entry type is similar to 'k' and 'p' in that it is an
288 -- implicit reference for an entity with a different name.
290 -- The characters >, <. =, and ^ are used on the cross-reference
291 -- line for a subprogram, to denote formal parameters and their
292 -- modes. As with the 'z' and 'p' entries, each such entry is
293 -- an implicit reference to an entity with a different name.
295 -- [..] is used for generic instantiation references. These
296 -- references are present only if the entity in question is
297 -- a generic entity, and in that case the [..] contains the
298 -- reference for the instantiation. In the case of nested
299 -- instantiations, this can be nested [...[...[...]]] etc.
300 -- The reference is of the form [file|line] no column is
301 -- present since it is assumed that only one instantiation
302 -- appears on a single source line. Note that the appearence
303 -- of file numbers in such references follows the normal
304 -- rules (present only if needed, and resets the current
305 -- file for subsequent references).
309 -- 44B5*Flag_Type{boolean} 5r23 6m45 3|9r35 11r56
311 -- This line gives references for the publicly visible Boolean
312 -- type Flag_Type declared on line 44, column 5. There are four
315 -- a reference on line 5, column 23 of the current file
317 -- a modification on line 6, column 45 of the current file
319 -- a reference on line 9, column 35 of unit number 3
321 -- a reference on line 11, column 56 of unit number 3
323 -- 2U13 p3=2:35 5b13 8r4 12r13 12t15
325 -- This line gives references for the non-publicly visible
326 -- procedure p3 declared on line 2, column 13. This procedure
327 -- renames the procedure whose identifier reference is at
328 -- line 2 column 35. There are four references:
330 -- the corresponding body entity at line 5, column 13,
331 -- of the current file.
333 -- a reference (e.g. a call) at line 8 column 4 of the
334 -- of the current file.
336 -- the END line of the body has an explict reference to
337 -- the name of the procedure at line 12, column 13.
339 -- the body ends at line 12, column 15, just past this label
341 -- 16I9*My_Type<2|4I9> 18r8
343 -- This line gives references for the publicly visible Integer
344 -- derived type My_Type declared on line 16, column 9. It also
345 -- gives references to the parent type declared in the unit
346 -- number 2 on line 4, column 9. There is one reference:
348 -- a reference (e.g. a variable declaration) at line 18 column
349 -- 4 of the current file.
351 -- 10I3*Genv{integer} 3|4I10[6|12]
353 -- This line gives a reference for the entity Genv in a generic
354 -- package. The reference in file 3, line 4, col 10, refers to
355 -- an instance of the generic where the instantiation can be
356 -- found in file 6 at line 12.
358 -- Continuation lines are used if the reference list gets too long,
359 -- a continuation line starts with a period, and then has references
360 -- continuing from the previous line. The references are sorted first
361 -- by unit, then by position in the source.
363 -- Note on handling of generic entities. The cross-reference is oriented
364 -- towards source references, so the entities in a generic instantiation
365 -- are not considered distinct from the entities in the template. All
366 -- definitions and references from generic instantiations are suppressed,
367 -- since they will be generated from the template. Any references to
368 -- entities in a generic instantiation from outside the instantiation
369 -- are considered to be references to the original template entity.
371 ----------------------------------------
372 -- Cross-Reference Entity Identifiers --
373 ----------------------------------------
375 -- In the cross-reference section of the ali file, entity types are
376 -- identified by a single letter, indicating the entity type. The
377 -- following table indicates the letter. A space for an entry is
378 -- used for entities that do not appear in the cross-reference table.
380 -- For objects, the character * appears in this table. In the xref
381 -- listing, this character is replaced by the lower case letter that
382 -- corresponds to the type of the object. For example, if a variable
383 -- is of a Float type, then, since the type is represented by an
384 -- upper case F, the object would be represented by a lower case f.
386 -- A special exception is the case of booleans, whose entities are
387 -- normal E_Enumeration_Type or E_Enumeration_Subtype entities, but
388 -- which appear as B/b in the xref lines, rather than E/e.
390 -- For private types, the character + appears in the table. In this
391 -- case the kind of the underlying type is used, if available, to
392 -- determine the character to use in the xref listing. The listing
393 -- will still include a '+' for a generic private type, for example,
394 -- but will retain the '*' for an object or formal parameter of such
397 -- For subprograms, the characters 'U' and 'V' appear in the table,
398 -- indicating procedures and functions. If the operation is abstract,
399 -- these letters are replaced in the xref by 'x' and 'y' respectively.

539 -- If a pragma Import or Interface applies to a subprogram, the
540 -- pragma is the completion of the subprogram. This is noted in
541 -- the ALI file by making the occurrence of the subprogram in the
542 -- pragma into a body reference ('b') and by including the external

595 -- Note: all references to packages or subprograms are to the entity
596 -- for the spec. The entity in the body is treated as a reference
597 -- with type 'b'. Similar handling for references to subprogram formals.
