   --  or internal units, so it reflects the Ada version explicitly set
   --  using configuration pragmas or compiler switches (or if neither
   --  appears, it remains set to Ada_Version_Default). This is used in
   --  the rare cases (notably for pragmas Preelaborate_05 and Pure_05)

   ----------------------------

   --  These are settings that are used to establish the mode at the start of
   --  each unit. The values defined below can be affected either by command
   --  line switches, or by the use of appropriate configuration pragmas in the
   --  gnat.adc file.

   Ada_Version_Config : Ada_Version_Type;
   --  GNAT
   --  This is the value of the configuration switch for the Ada 83 mode, as
   --  set by the command line switches -gnat83/95/05, and possibly modified by
   --  the use of configuration pragmas Ada_83/Ada95/Ada05. This switch is used
   --  to set the initial value for Ada_Version mode at the start of analysis
   --  of a unit. Note however, that the setting of this flag is ignored for
   --  internal and predefined units (which are always compiled in the most up
   --  to date version of Ada).

   Ada_Version_Explicit_Config : Ada_Version_Type;
   --  GNAT
   --  Same as above but used to initialize Ada_Version_Explicit. Currently
   --  this will always have the same value as Ada_Version_Config.

   Assertions_Enabled_Config : Boolean;
   --  GNAT
   --  This is the value of the configuration switch for assertions enabled
   --  mode, as possibly set by the command line switch -gnata, and possibly
   --  modified by the use of the configuration pragma Assertion_Policy.

   Dynamic_Elaboration_Checks_Config : Boolean := False;
   --  GNAT
   --  Set True for dynamic elaboration checking mode, as set by the -gnatE
   --  switch or by the use of pragma Elaboration_Checking (Dynamic).

   Exception_Locations_Suppressed_Config : Boolean := False;
   --  GNAT
   --  Set True by use of the configuration pragma Suppress_Exception_Messages

   Extensions_Allowed_Config : Boolean;
   --  GNAT
   --  This is the flag that indicates whether extensions are allowed. It can
   --  be set True either by use of the -gnatX switch, or by use of the
   --  configuration pragma Extensions_Allowed (On). It is always set to True
   --  for internal GNAT units, since extensions are always permitted in such
   --  units.

   External_Name_Exp_Casing_Config : External_Casing_Type;
   --  GNAT
   --  This is the value of the configuration switch that controls casing of
   --  external symbols for which an explicit external name is given. It can be
   --  set to Uppercase by the command line switch -gnatF, and further modified
   --  by the use of the configuration pragma External_Name_Casing in the
   --  gnat.adc file. This flag is used to set the initial value for
   --  External_Name_Exp_Casing at the start of analyzing each unit. Note
   --  however that the setting of this flag is ignored for internal and
   --  predefined units (which are always compiled with As_Is mode).

   External_Name_Imp_Casing_Config : External_Casing_Type;
   --  GNAT
   --  This is the value of the configuration switch that controls casing of
   --  external symbols where the external name is implicitly given. It can be
   --  set to Uppercase by the command line switch -gnatF, and further modified
   --  by the use of the configuration pragma External_Name_Casing in the
   --  gnat.adc file. This flag is used to set the initial value for
   --  External_Name_Imp_Casing at the start of analyzing each unit. Note
   --  however that the setting of this flag is ignored for internal and
   --  predefined units (which are always compiled with Lowercase mode).

   Persistent_BSS_Mode_Config : Boolean;
   --  GNAT
   --  This is the value of the configuration switch that controls whether
   --  potentially persistent data is to be placed in the persistent_bss
   --  section. It can be set True by use of the pragma Persistent_BSS.
   --  This flag is used to set the initial value of Persistent_BSS_Mode
   --  at the start of each compilation unit, except that it is always
   --  set False for predefined units.

   Polling_Required_Config : Boolean;
   --  GNAT
   --  This is the value of the configuration switch that controls polling
   --  mode. It can be set True by the command line switch -gnatP, and then
   --  further modified by the use of pragma Polling in the gnat.adc file. This
   --  flag is used to set the initial value for Polling_Required at the start
   --  of analyzing each unit.

   Use_VADS_Size_Config : Boolean;
   --  GNAT
   --  This is the value of the configuration switch that controls the use of
   --  VADS_Size instead of Size whereever the attribute Size is used. It can
   --  be set True by the use of the pragma Use_VADS_Size in the gnat.adc file.
   --  This flag is used to set the initial value for Use_VADS_Size at the
   --  start of analyzing each unit. Note however that the setting of this flag
   --  is ignored for internal and predefined units (which are always compiled
   --  with the standard Size semantics).

   type Config_Switches_Type is private;
   --  Type used to save values of the switches set from Config values

   procedure Save_Opt_Config_Switches (Save : out Config_Switches_Type);
   --  This procedure saves the current values of the switches which are
   --  initialized from the above Config values, and then resets these switches
   --  according to the Config value settings.

   procedure Set_Opt_Config_Switches (Internal_Unit : Boolean);
   --  This procedure sets the switches to the appropriate initial values. The
   --  parameter Internal_Unit is True for an internal or predefined unit, and
   --  affects the way the switches are set (see above).

   procedure Restore_Opt_Config_Switches (Save : Config_Switches_Type);
   --  This procedure restores a set of switch values previously saved by a
   --  call to Save_Opt_Switches.

   procedure Register_Opt_Config_Switches;
   --  This procedure is called after processing the gnat.adc file to record
   --  the values of the Config switches, as possibly modified by the use of
   --  command line switches and configuration pragmas.

   -- Other Global Flags --
   ------------------------

   Expander_Active : Boolean := False;
   --  A flag that indicates if expansion is active (True) or deactivated
   --  (False). When expansion is deactivated all calls to expander routines
   --  have no effect. Note that the initial setting of False is merely to
   --  prevent saving of an undefined value for an initial call to the
   --  Expander_Mode_Save_And_Set procedure. For more information on the use of
   --  this flag, see package Expander. Indeed this flag might more logically
   --  be in the spec of Expander, but it is referenced by Errout, and it
   --  really seems wrong for Errout to depend on Expander.

   -----------------------
   -- Tree I/O Routines --
   -----------------------

   procedure Tree_Read;
   --  Reads switch settings from current tree file using Tree_Read

   procedure Tree_Write;
   --  Writes out switch settings to current tree file using Tree_Write

   --------------------------
   -- ASIS Version Control --
   --------------------------

   --  These two variables (Tree_Version_String and Tree_ASIS_Version_Number)
   --  are supposed to be used in the GNAT/ASIS version check performed in
   --  the ASIS code (this package is also a part of the ASIS implementation).
   --  They are set by Tree_Read procedure, so they represent the version
   --  number (and the version string) of the compiler which has created the
   --  tree, and they are supposed to be compared with the corresponding values
   --  from the Gnatvsn package which is a part of ASIS implementation.

   Tree_Version_String : String (Gnat_Version_String'Range);
   --  Used to store the compiler version string read from a tree file to check
   --  if it is the same as stored in the version string in Gnatvsn. Therefore
   --  its length is taken directly from the version string in Gnatvsn. If the
   --  length of the version string stored in the tree is different, then
   --  versions are for sure different, and a string containing '?' characters
   --  is assigned to this variable as a result of tree read.

   Tree_ASIS_Version_Number : Int;
   --  Used to store the ASIS version number read from a tree file to check if
   --  it is the same as stored in the ASIS version number in Gnatvsn.
