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, the plus sign (+) for
74 -- a C/C++ static entity, and space otherwise.
76 -- entity is the name of the referenced entity, with casing in
77 -- the canonical casing for the source file where it is defined.
79 -- renameref provides information on renaming. If the entity is
80 -- a package, object or overloadable entity which is declared by
81 -- a renaming declaration, and the renaming refers to an entity
82 -- with a simple identifier or expanded name, then renameref has
87 -- Here line:col give the reference to the identifier that
88 -- appears in the renaming declaration. Note that we never need
89 -- a file entry, since this identifier is always in the current
90 -- file in which the entity is declared. Currently, renameref
91 -- appears only for the simple renaming case. If the renaming
92 -- reference is a complex expressions, then renameref is omitted.
93 -- Here line/col give line/column as defined above.
95 -- instref is only present for package and subprogram instances.
96 -- The information in instref is the location of the point of
97 -- declaration of the generic parent unit. This part has the form:
101 -- without column information, on the reasonable assumption that
102 -- there is only one unit per line (the same assumption is made
103 -- in references to entities that are declared within instances,
106 -- typeref is the reference for a related type. This part is
107 -- optional. It is present for the following cases:
109 -- derived types (points to the parent type) LR=<>
110 -- access types (points to designated type) LR=()
111 -- array types (points to component type) LR=()
112 -- subtypes (points to ancestor type) LR={}
113 -- functions (points to result type) LR={}
114 -- enumeration literals (points to enum type) LR={}
115 -- objects and components (points to type) LR={}
117 -- For a type that implements multiple interfaces, there is an
118 -- entry of the form LR=<> for each of the interfaces appearing
119 -- in the type declaration. In the data structures of ali.ads,
120 -- the type that the entity extends (or the first interface if
121 -- there is no such type) is stored in Xref_Entity_Record.Tref*,
122 -- additional interfaces are stored in the list of references
123 -- with a special type of Interface_Reference.
125 -- For an array type, there is an entry of the form LR=<> for
126 -- each of the index types appearing in the type declaration.
127 -- The index types follow the entry for the component type.
128 -- In the data structures of ali.ads, however, the list of index
129 -- types are output in the list of references with a special
130 -- Rtype set to Array_Index_Reference.
132 -- In the above list LR shows the brackets used in the output,
133 -- which has one of the two following forms:
135 -- L file | line type col R user entity
136 -- L name-in-lower-case R standard entity
138 -- For the form for a user entity, file is the dependency number
139 -- of the file containing the declaration of the related type.
140 -- This number and the following vertical bar are omitted if the
141 -- relevant type is defined in the same file as the current entity.
142 -- The line, type, col are defined as previously described, and
143 -- specify the location of the relevant type declaration in the
144 -- referenced file. For the standard entity form, the name between
145 -- the brackets is the normal name of the entity in lower case.
147 -- overref is present for overriding operations (procedures and
148 -- functions), and provides information on the operation that it
149 -- overrides. This information has the format:
151 -- '<' file | line 'o' col '>'
153 -- file is the dependency number of the file containing the
154 -- declaration of the overridden operation. It and the following
155 -- vertical bar are omitted if the file is the same as that of
156 -- the overriding operation.
158 -- There may be zero or more ref entries on each line
160 -- file | line type col [...]
162 -- file is the dependency number of the file with the reference.
163 -- It and the following vertical bar are omitted if the file is
164 -- the same as the previous ref, and the refs for the current
165 -- file are first (and do not need a bar).
167 -- line is the line number of the reference
169 -- col is the column number of the reference, as defined above
173 -- c = completion of private or incomplete type
174 -- d = discriminant of type
177 -- i = implicit reference
178 -- k = implicit reference to parent unit in child unit
179 -- l = label on END line
181 -- o = own variable reference (SPARK only)
182 -- p = primitive operation
183 -- P = overriding primitive operation
185 -- R = subprogram reference in dispatching call
188 -- x = type extension
189 -- z = generic formal parameter
190 -- > = subprogram IN parameter
191 -- = = subprogram IN OUT parameter
192 -- < = subprogram OUT parameter
193 -- ^ = subprogram ACCESS parameter
195 -- b is used for spec entities that are repeated in a body,
196 -- including the unit (subprogram, package, task, protected
197 -- body, protected entry) name itself, and in the case of a
198 -- subprogram, the formals. This letter is also used for the
199 -- occurrence of entry names in accept statements. Such entities
200 -- are not considered to be definitions for cross-referencing
201 -- purposes, but rather are considered to be references to the
202 -- corresponding spec entities, marked with this special type.
204 -- c is similar to b but is used to mark the completion of a
205 -- private or incomplete type. As with b, the completion is not
206 -- regarded as a separate definition, but rather a reference to
207 -- the initial declaration, marked with this special type.
209 -- d is used to identify a discriminant of a type. If this is
210 -- an incomplete or private type with discriminants, the entry
211 -- denotes the occurrence of the discriminant in the partial view
212 -- which is also the point of definition of the discriminant.
213 -- The occurrence of the same discriminant in the full view is
214 -- a regular reference to it.
216 -- e is used to identify the end of a construct in the following
219 -- Block Statement end [block_IDENTIFIER];
220 -- Loop Statement end loop [loop_IDENTIFIER];
221 -- Package Specification end [[PARENT_UNIT_NAME .] IDENTIFIER];
222 -- Task Definition end [task_IDENTIFIER];
223 -- Protected Definition end [protected_IDENTIFIER];
224 -- Record Definition end record;
225 -- Enumeration Definition );
227 -- Note that 'e' entries are special in that they appear even
228 -- in referencing units (normally xref entries appear only
229 -- for references in the extended main source unit (see Lib) to
230 -- which the ali applies. But 'e' entries are really structural
231 -- and simply indicate where packages end. This information can
232 -- be used to reconstruct scope information for any entities
233 -- referenced from within the package. The line/column values
234 -- for these entries point to the semicolon ending the construct.
236 -- i is used to identify a reference to the entity in a generic
237 -- actual or in a default in a call. The node that denotes the
238 -- entity does not come from source, but it has the Sloc of the
239 -- source node that generates the implicit reference, and it is
240 -- useful to record this one.
242 -- k is another non-standard reference type, used to record a
243 -- reference from a child unit to its parent. For various cross-
244 -- referencing tools, we need a pointer from the xref entries for
245 -- the child to the parent. This is the opposite way round from
246 -- normal xref entries, since the reference is *from* the child
247 -- unit *to* the parent unit, yet appears in the xref entries for
248 -- the child. Consider this example:
255 -- The ali file for q-r.ads has these entries
261 -- 1K9*q 2e4 2|1r9 2r5
263 -- 1K11*r 1|1k9 2|2l7 2e8
265 -- Here the 2|1r9 entry appearing in the section for the parent
266 -- is the normal reference from the child to the parent. The 1k9
267 -- entry in the section for the child duplicates this information
268 -- but appears in the child rather than the parent.
270 -- l is used to identify the occurrence in the source of the
271 -- name on an end line. This is just a syntactic reference
272 -- which can be ignored for semantic purposes (such as call
273 -- graph construction). Again, in the case of an accept there
274 -- can be multiple l lines.
276 -- o is used for variables referenced from a SPARK 'own'
277 -- definition. In the SPARK language, it is allowed to use a
278 -- variable before its actual declaration.
280 -- p is used to mark a primitive operation of the given entity.
281 -- For example, if we have a type Tx, and a primitive operation
282 -- Pq of this type, then an entry in the list of references to
283 -- Tx will point to the declaration of Pq. Note that this entry
284 -- type is unusual because it an implicit rather than explicit,
285 -- and the name of the reference does not match the name of the
286 -- entity for which a reference is generated. These entries are
287 -- generated only for entities declared in the extended main
288 -- source unit (main unit itself, its separate spec (if any).
289 -- and all subunits (considered recursively).
291 -- If the primitive operation overrides an inherited primitive
292 -- operation of the parent type, the letter 'P' is used in the
293 -- corresponding entry.
295 -- R is used to mark a dispatching call. The reference is to
296 -- the specification of the primitive operation of the root
297 -- type when the call has a controlling argument in its class.
299 -- t is similar to e. It identifies the end of a corresponding
300 -- body (such a reference always links up with a b reference)
302 -- Subprogram Body end [DESIGNATOR];
303 -- Package Body end [[PARENT_UNIT_NAME .] IDENTIFIER];
304 -- Task Body end [task_IDENTIFIER];
305 -- Entry Body end [entry_IDENTIFIER];
306 -- Protected Body end [protected_IDENTIFIER]
307 -- Accept Statement end [entry_IDENTIFIER]];
309 -- Note that in the case of accept statements, there can
310 -- be multiple b and t entries for the same entity.
312 -- x is used to identify the reference as the entity from which
313 -- a tagged type is extended. This allows immediate access to
314 -- the parent of a tagged type.
316 -- z is used on the cross-reference line for a generic unit, to
317 -- mark the definition of a generic formal of the unit.
318 -- This entry type is similar to 'k' and 'p' in that it is an
319 -- implicit reference for an entity with a different name.
321 -- The characters >, <. =, and ^ are used on the cross-reference
322 -- line for a subprogram, to denote formal parameters and their
323 -- modes. As with the 'z' and 'p' entries, each such entry is
324 -- an implicit reference to an entity with a different name.
326 -- [..] is used for generic instantiation references. These
327 -- references are present only if the entity in question is
328 -- a generic entity, and in that case the [..] contains the
329 -- reference for the instantiation. In the case of nested
330 -- instantiations, this can be nested [...[...[...]]] etc.
331 -- The reference is of the form [file|line] no column is
332 -- present since it is assumed that only one instantiation
333 -- appears on a single source line. Note that the appearance
334 -- of file numbers in such references follows the normal
335 -- rules (present only if needed, and resets the current
336 -- file for subsequent references).
340 -- 44B5*Flag_Type{boolean} 5r23 6m45 3|9r35 11r56
342 -- This line gives references for the publicly visible Boolean
343 -- type Flag_Type declared on line 44, column 5. There are four
346 -- a reference on line 5, column 23 of the current file
348 -- a modification on line 6, column 45 of the current file
350 -- a reference on line 9, column 35 of unit number 3
352 -- a reference on line 11, column 56 of unit number 3
354 -- 2U13 p3=2:35 5b13 8r4 12r13 12t15
356 -- This line gives references for the non-publicly visible
357 -- procedure p3 declared on line 2, column 13. This procedure
358 -- renames the procedure whose identifier reference is at
359 -- line 2 column 35. There are four references:
361 -- the corresponding body entity at line 5, column 13,
362 -- of the current file.
364 -- a reference (e.g. a call) at line 8 column 4 of the
365 -- of the current file.
367 -- the END line of the body has an explicit reference to
368 -- the name of the procedure at line 12, column 13.
370 -- the body ends at line 12, column 15, just past this label
372 -- 16I9*My_Type<2|4I9> 18r8
374 -- This line gives references for the publicly visible Integer
375 -- derived type My_Type declared on line 16, column 9. It also
376 -- gives references to the parent type declared in the unit
377 -- number 2 on line 4, column 9. There is one reference:
379 -- a reference (e.g. a variable declaration) at line 18 column
380 -- 4 of the current file.
382 -- 10I3*Genv{integer} 3|4I10[6|12]
384 -- This line gives a reference for the entity Genv in a generic
385 -- package. The reference in file 3, line 4, col 10, refers to
386 -- an instance of the generic where the instantiation can be
387 -- found in file 6 at line 12.
389 -- Continuation lines are used if the reference list gets too long,
390 -- a continuation line starts with a period, and then has references
391 -- continuing from the previous line. The references are sorted first
392 -- by unit, then by position in the source.
394 -- Note on handling of generic entities. The cross-reference is oriented
395 -- towards source references, so the entities in a generic instantiation
396 -- are not considered distinct from the entities in the template. All
397 -- definitions and references from generic instantiations are suppressed,
398 -- since they will be generated from the template. Any references to
399 -- entities in a generic instantiation from outside the instantiation
400 -- are considered to be references to the original template entity.
402 ----------------------------------------
403 -- Cross-Reference Entity Identifiers --
404 ----------------------------------------
406 -- In the cross-reference section of the ali file, entity types are
407 -- identified by a single letter, indicating the entity type. The
408 -- following table indicates the letter. A space for an entry is
409 -- used for entities that do not appear in the cross-reference table.
411 -- For objects, the character * appears in this table. In the xref
412 -- listing, this character is replaced by the lower case letter that
413 -- corresponds to the type of the object. For example, if a variable
414 -- is of a Float type, then, since the type is represented by an
415 -- upper case F, the object would be represented by a lower case f.
417 -- A special exception is the case of booleans, whose entities are
418 -- normal E_Enumeration_Type or E_Enumeration_Subtype entities, but
419 -- which appear as B/b in the xref lines, rather than E/e.
421 -- For private types, the character + appears in the table. In this
422 -- case the kind of the underlying type is used, if available, to
423 -- determine the character to use in the xref listing. The listing
424 -- will still include a '+' for a generic private type, for example,
425 -- but will retain the '*' for an object or formal parameter of such
428 -- For subprograms, the characters 'U' and 'V' appear in the table,
429 -- indicating procedures and functions. If the operation is abstract,
430 -- these letters are replaced in the xref by 'x' and 'y' respectively.

567 -- Handling of Imported Subprograms --
568 --------------------------------------
570 -- If a pragma Import or Interface applies to a subprogram, the
571 -- pragma is the completion of the subprogram. This is noted in
572 -- the ALI file by making the occurrence of the subprogram in the
573 -- pragma into a body reference ('b') and by including the external
574 -- name of the subprogram and its language, bracketed by '<' and '>'
575 -- in that reference. For example:
577 -- 3U13*elsewhere 4b<c,there>21
579 -- indicates that procedure elsewhere, declared at line 3, has a
580 -- pragma Import at line 4, that its body is in C, and that the link
581 -- name as given in the pragma is "there".
587 procedure Generate_Definition (E : Entity_Id);
588 -- Records the definition of an entity
590 procedure Generate_Operator_Reference
593 -- Node N is an operator node, whose entity has been set. If this entity
594 -- is a user defined operator (i.e. an operator not defined in package
595 -- Standard), then a reference to the operator is recorded at node N.
596 -- T is the operand type of the operator. A reference to the operator
597 -- is an implicit reference to the type, and that needs to be recorded
598 -- to avoid spurious warnings on unused entities, when the operator is
599 -- a renaming of a predefined operator.
601 procedure Generate_Reference
604 Typ : Character := 'r';
605 Set_Ref : Boolean := True;
606 Force : Boolean := False);
607 -- This procedure is called to record a reference. N is the location
608 -- of the reference and E is the referenced entity. Typ is one of:
611 -- 'c' completion of incomplete or private type (see below)
612 -- 'e' end of construct
613 -- 'i' implicit reference
614 -- 'l' label on end line
616 -- 'p' primitive operation
617 -- 'r' standard reference
619 -- 'x' type extension
620 -- ' ' dummy reference (see below)
622 -- Note: all references to incomplete or private types are to the
623 -- original (incomplete or private type) declaration. The full
624 -- declaration is treated as a reference with type 'c'.
626 -- Note: all references to packages or subprograms are to the entity
627 -- for the spec. The entity in the body is treated as a reference
628 -- with type 'b'. Similar handling for references to subprogram formals.
630 -- The call has no effect if N is not in the extended main source unit
631 -- This check is omitted for type 'e' references (where it is useful to
632 -- have structural scoping information for other than the main source),
633 -- and for 'p' (since we want to pick up inherited primitive operations
634 -- that are defined in other packages).
