   -- Handling of Static Expressions --
   ------------------------------------

   --  This package contains a set of routines that process individual
   --  subexpression nodes with the objective of folding (precomputing) the
   --  value of static expressions that are known at compile time and properly
   --  computing the setting of two flags that appear in every subexpression
   --  node:

   --    Is_Static_Expression

   --      This flag is set on any expression that is static according to the
   --      rules in (RM 4.9(3-32)).

   --    Raises_Constraint_Error

   --      This flag indicates that it is known at compile time that the
   --      evaluation of an expression raises constraint error. If the
   --      expression is static, and this flag is off, then it is also known at
   --      compile time that the expression does not raise constraint error
   --      (i.e. the flag is accurate for static expressions, and conservative
   --      for non-static expressions.

   --  If a static expression does not raise constraint error, then the
   --  Raises_Constraint_Error flag is off, and the expression must be computed
   --  at compile time, which means that it has the form of either a literal,
   --  or a constant that is itself (recursively) either a literal or a
   --  constant.

   --  The above rules must be followed exactly in order for legality checks to
   --  be accurate. For subexpressions that are not static according to the RM
   --  definition, they are sometimes folded anyway, but of course in this case
   --  Is_Static_Expression is not set.

   -------------------------------
   -- Compile-Time Known Values --
   -------------------------------

   --  For most legality checking purposes the flag Is_Static_Expression
   --  defined in Sinfo should be used. This package also provides a routine
   --  called Is_OK_Static_Expression which in addition of checking that an
   --  expression is static in the RM 4.9 sense, it checks that the expression
   --  does not raise constraint error. In fact for certain legality checks not
   --  only do we need to ascertain that the expression is static, but we must
   --  also ensure that it does not raise constraint error.
   --
   --  Neither of Is_Static_Expression and Is_OK_Static_Expression should be
   --  used for compile time evaluation purposes. In fact certain expression
   --  whose value is known at compile time are not static in the RM 4.9 sense.
   --  A typical example is:
   --
   --     C : constant Integer := Record_Type'Size;
   --
   --  The expression 'C' is not static in the technical RM sense, but for many
   --  simple record types, the size is in fact known at compile time. When we
   --  are trying to perform compile time constant folding (for instance for
   --  expressions like C + 1, Is_Static_Expression or Is_OK_Static_Expression
   --  are not the right functions to test if folding is possible. Instead, we
   --  use Compile_Time_Known_Value. All static expressions that do not raise
   --  constraint error (i.e. those for which Is_OK_Static_Expression is true)
   --  are known at compile time, but as shown by the above example, there are
   --  cases of non-static expressions which are known at compile time.

   -----------------
   -- Subprograms --
   -----------------

   procedure Check_Non_Static_Context (N : Node_Id);
   --  Deals with the special check required for a static expression that
   --  appears in a non-static context, i.e. is not part of a larger static
   --  expression (see RM 4.9(35)), i.e. the value of the expression must be
   --  within the base range of the base type of its expected type. A check is
   --  also made for expressions that are inside the base range, but outside
   --  the range of the expected subtype (this is a warning message rather than
   --  an illegality).
   --
   --  Note: most cases of non-static context checks are handled within
   --  Sem_Eval itself, including all cases of expressions at the outer level
   --  (i.e. those that are not a subexpression). Currently the only outside
   --  customer for this procedure is Sem_Attr (because Eval_Attribute is
   --  there). There is also one special case arising from ranges (see body of
   --  Resolve_Range).

   procedure Check_String_Literal_Length (N : Node_Id; Ttype : Entity_Id);
   --  N is either a string literal, or a constraint error node. In the latter
   --  case, the situation is already dealt with, and the call has no effect.
   --  In the former case, if the target type, Ttyp is constrained, then a
   --  check is made to see if the string literal is of appropriate length.

   type Compare_Result is (LT, LE, EQ, GT, GE, NE, Unknown);
   subtype Compare_GE is Compare_Result range EQ .. GE;
   subtype Compare_LE is Compare_Result range LT .. EQ;
   --  Result subtypes for Compile_Time_Compare subprograms

   function Compile_Time_Compare
     (L, R         : Node_Id;
      Assume_Valid : Boolean) return Compare_Result;
   pragma Inline (Compile_Time_Compare);
   --  Given two expression nodes, finds out whether it can be determined at
   --  compile time how the runtime values will compare. An Unknown result
   --  means that the result of a comparison cannot be determined at compile
   --  time, otherwise the returned result indicates the known result of the
   --  comparison, given as tightly as possible (i.e. EQ or LT is preferred
   --  returned value to LE). If Assume_Valid is true, the result reflects
   --  the result of assuming that entities involved in the comparison have
   --  valid representations. If Assume_Valid is false, then the base type of
   --  any involved entity is used so that no assumption of validity is made.

   function Compile_Time_Compare
     (L, R         : Node_Id;
      Diff         : access Uint;
      Assume_Valid : Boolean;
      Rec          : Boolean := False) return Compare_Result;
   --  This version of Compile_Time_Compare returns extra information if the
   --  result is GT or LT. In these cases, if the magnitude of the difference
   --  can be determined at compile time, this (positive) magnitude is returned
   --  in Diff.all. If the magnitude of the difference cannot be determined
   --  then Diff.all contains No_Uint on return. Rec is a parameter that is set
   --  True for a recursive call from within Compile_Time_Compare to avoid some
   --  infinite recursion cases. It should never be set by a client.

   procedure Flag_Non_Static_Expr (Msg : String; Expr : Node_Id);
   --  This procedure is called after it has been determined that Expr is not
   --  static when it is required to be. Msg is the text of a message that
   --  explains the error. This procedure checks if an error is already posted
   --  on Expr, if so, it does nothing unless All_Errors_Mode is set in which
   --  case this flag is ignored. Otherwise the given message is posted using
   --  Error_Msg_F, and then Why_Not_Static is called on Expr to generate
   --  additional messages. The string given as Msg should end with ! to make
   --  it an unconditional message, to ensure that if it is posted, the entire
   --  set of messages is all posted.

   function Is_OK_Static_Expression (N : Node_Id) return Boolean;
   --  An OK static expression is one that is static in the RM definition sense
   --  and which does not raise constraint error. For most legality checking
   --  purposes you should use Is_Static_Expression. For those legality checks
   --  where the expression N should not raise constraint error use this
   --  routine. This routine is *not* to be used in contexts where the test is
   --  for compile time evaluation purposes. Use Compile_Time_Known_Value
   --  instead (see section on "Compile-Time Known Values" above).

   function Is_Static_Range (N : Node_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Determine if range is static, as defined in RM 4.9(26). The only allowed
   --  argument is an N_Range node (but note that the semantic analysis of
   --  equivalent range attribute references already turned them into the
   --  equivalent range).

   function Is_OK_Static_Range (N : Node_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Like Is_Static_Range, but also makes sure that the bounds of the range
   --  are compile-time evaluable (i.e. do not raise constraint error). A
   --  result of true means that the bounds are compile time evaluable. A
   --  result of false means they are not (either because the range is not
   --  static, or because one or the other bound raises CE).

   function Is_Static_Subtype (Typ : Entity_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Determines whether a subtype fits the definition of an Ada static
   --  subtype as given in (RM 4.9(26)). Important note: This check does not
   --  include the Ada 2012 case of a non-static predicate which results in an
   --  otherwise static subtype being non-static. Such a subtype will return
   --  True for this test, so if the distinction is important, the caller must
   --  deal with this.
   --
   --  Implementation note: an attempt to include this Ada 2012 case failed,
   --  since it appears that this routine is called in some cases before the
   --  Static_Predicate field is set ???

   function Is_OK_Static_Subtype (Typ : Entity_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Like Is_Static_Subtype but also makes sure that the bounds of the
   --  subtype are compile-time evaluable (i.e. do not raise constraint error).
   --  A result of true means that the bounds are compile time evaluable. A
   --  result of false means they are not (either because the range is not
   --  static, or because one or the other bound raises CE).

   function Subtypes_Statically_Compatible
     (T1 : Entity_Id;
      T2 : Entity_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Returns true if the subtypes are unconstrained or the constraint on
   --  on T1 is statically compatible with T2 (as defined by 4.9.1(4)).
   --  Otherwise returns false.

   function Subtypes_Statically_Match (T1, T2 : Entity_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Determine whether two types T1, T2, which have the same base type,
   --  are statically matching subtypes (RM 4.9.1(1-2)).

   function Compile_Time_Known_Value (Op : Node_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Returns true if Op is an expression not raising Constraint_Error whose
   --  value is known at compile time. This is true if Op is a static
   --  expression, but can also be true for expressions which are technically
   --  non-static but which are in fact known at compile time, such as the
   --  static lower bound of a non-static range or the value of a constant
   --  object whose initial value is static. Note that this routine is defended
   --  against unanalyzed expressions. Such expressions will not cause a
   --  blowup, they may cause pessimistic (i.e. False) results to be returned.

   function Compile_Time_Known_Value_Or_Aggr (Op : Node_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Similar to Compile_Time_Known_Value, but also returns True if the value
   --  is a compile-time-known aggregate, i.e. an aggregate all of whose
   --  constituent expressions are either compile-time-known values (based on
   --  calling Compile_Time_Known_Value) or compile-time-known aggregates.
   --  Note that the aggregate could still involve run-time checks that might
   --  fail (such as for subtype checks in component associations), but the
   --  evaluation of the expressions themselves will not raise an exception.

   function Compile_Time_Known_Bounds (T : Entity_Id) return Boolean;
   --  If T is an array whose index bounds are all known at compile time, then
   --  True is returned, if T is not an array, or one or more of its index
   --  bounds is not known at compile time, then False is returned.

   function Expr_Value (N : Node_Id) return Uint;
   --  Returns the folded value of the expression N. This function is called in
   --  instances where it has already been determined that the expression is
   --  static or its value is compile time known (Compile_Time_Known_Value (N)
   --  returns True). This version is used for integer values, and enumeration
   --  or character literals. In the latter two cases, the value returned is
   --  the Pos value in the relevant enumeration type. It can also be used for
   --  fixed-point values, in which case it returns the corresponding integer
   --  value. It cannot be used for floating-point values.

   function Expr_Value_E (N : Node_Id) return Entity_Id;
   --  Returns the folded value of the expression. This function is called in
   --  instances where it has already been determined that the expression is
   --  static or its value known at compile time. This version is used for
   --  enumeration types and returns the corresponding enumeration literal.

   function Expr_Value_R (N : Node_Id) return Ureal;
   --  Returns the folded value of the expression. This function is called in
   --  instances where it has already been determined that the expression is
   --  static or its value known at compile time. This version is used for real
   --  values (including both the floating-point and fixed-point cases). In the
   --  case of a fixed-point type, the real value is returned (cf above version
   --  returning Uint).

   function Expr_Value_S (N : Node_Id) return Node_Id;
   --  Returns the folded value of the expression. This function is called
   --  in instances where it has already been determined that the expression
   --  is static or its value is known at compile time. This version is used
   --  for string types and returns the corresponding N_String_Literal node.

   function Expr_Rep_Value (N : Node_Id) return Uint;
   --  This is identical to Expr_Value, except in the case of enumeration
   --  literals of types for which an enumeration representation clause has
   --  been given, in which case it returns the representation value rather
   --  than the pos value. This is the value that is needed for generating code
   --  sequences, while the Expr_Value value is appropriate for compile time
   --  constraint errors or getting the logical value. Note that this function
   --  does NOT concern itself with biased values, if the caller needs a
   --  properly biased value, the subtraction of the bias must be handled
   --  explicitly.
