-- GNAT was originally developed by the GNAT team at New York University. --
-- Extensive contributions were provided by Ada Core Technologies Inc. --
-- This package contains routines to output error messages and the
-- corresponding instantiation of Styleg, suitable to instantiate Scng.
--- It is not dependent on the GNAT tree packages (Atree, Sinfo, ...).
+-- It is not dependent on the GNAT tree packages (Atree, Sinfo, ...)
-- It uses the same global variables as Errout, located in package
-- Err_Vars. Like Errout, it also uses the common variables and routines
-- and the special characters space, comma, period, colon and semicolon,
-- apostrophe and parentheses. Special insertion characters can also
-- appear which cause the error message circuit to modify the given
- -- string as follows:
-
- -- Ignored insertion characters: the following characters, used as
- -- insertion characters by Errout are ignored: '$', '&', and '}'.
- -- If present in an error message, they are not output and are not
- -- replaced by any text.
-
- -- Insertion character % (Percent: insert name from Names table)
- -- The character % is replaced by the text for the name specified by
- -- the Name_Id value stored in Error_Msg_Name_1. A blank precedes
- -- the name if it is preceded by a non-blank character other than a
- -- left parenthesis. The name is enclosed in quotes unless manual
- -- quotation mode is set. If the Name_Id is set to No_Name, then
- -- no insertion occurs; if the Name_Id is set to Error_Name, then
- -- the string <error> is inserted. A second and third % may appear
- -- in a single message, similarly replaced by the names which are
- -- specified by the Name_Id values stored in Error_Msg_Name_2 and
- -- Error_Msg_Name_3. The names are decoded and cased according to
- -- the current identifier casing mode.
-
- -- Insertion character { (Left brace: insert literally from names table)
- -- The character { is treated similarly to %, except that the
- -- name is output literally as stored in the names table without
- -- adjusting the casing. This can be used for file names and in
- -- other situations where the name string is to be output unchanged.
-
- -- Insertion character * (Asterisk, insert reserved word name)
- -- The insertion character * is treated exactly like % except that
- -- the resulting name is cased according to the default conventions
- -- for reserved words (see package Scans).
-
- -- Insertion character # (Pound: insert line number reference)
- -- The character # is replaced by the string indicating the source
- -- position stored in Error_Msg_Sloc. There are two cases:
- --
- -- for locations in current file: at line nnn:ccc
- -- for locations in other files: at filename:nnn:ccc
- --
- -- By convention, the # insertion character is only used at the end
- -- of an error message, so the above strings only appear as the last
- -- characters of an error message.
-
- -- Insertion character @ (At: insert column number reference)
- -- The character @ is replaced by null if the RM_Column_Check mode is
- -- off (False). If the switch is on (True), then @ is replaced by the
- -- text string " in column nnn" where nnn is the decimal representation
- -- of the column number stored in Error_Msg_Col plus one (the plus one
- -- is because the number is stored 0-origin and displayed 1-origin).
-
- -- Insertion character ^ (Carret: insert integer value)
- -- The character ^ is replaced by the decimal conversion of the Uint
- -- value stored in Error_Msg_Uint_1, with a possible leading minus.
- -- A second ^ may occur in the message, in which case it is replaced
- -- by the decimal conversion of the Uint value in Error_Msg_Uint_2.
-
- -- Insertion character ! (Exclamation: unconditional message)
- -- The character ! appearing as the last character of a message makes
- -- the message unconditional which means that it is output even if it
- -- would normally be suppressed.
-
- -- Insertion character ? (Question: warning message)
- -- The character ? appearing anywhere in a message makes the message
- -- a warning instead of a normal error message, and the text of the
- -- message will be preceded by "Warning:" instead of "Error:" The
- -- handling of warnings if further controlled by the Warning_Mode
- -- option (-w switch), see package Opt for further details, and
- -- also by the current setting from pragma Warnings. This pragma
- -- applies only to warnings issued from the semantic phase (not
- -- the parser), but currently all relevant warnings are posted
- -- by the semantic phase anyway. Messages starting with (style)
- -- are also treated as warning messages.
-
- -- Insertion character A-Z (Upper case letter: Ada reserved word)
- -- If two or more upper case letters appear in the message, they are
- -- taken as an Ada reserved word, and are converted to the default
- -- case for reserved words (see Scans package spec). Surrounding
- -- quotes are added unless manual quotation mode is currently set.
-
- -- Insertion character ` (Backquote: set manual quotation mode)
- -- The backquote character always appears in pairs. Each backquote
- -- of the pair is replaced by a double quote character. In addition,
- -- Any reserved keywords, or name insertions between these backquotes
- -- are not surrounded by the usual automatic double quotes. See the
- -- section below on manual quotation mode for further details.
-
- -- Insertion character ' (Quote: literal character)
- -- Precedes a character which is placed literally into the message.
- -- Used to insert characters into messages that are one of the
- -- insertion characters defined here.
-
- -- Insertion character \ (Backslash: continuation message)
- -- Indicates that the message is a continuation of a message
- -- previously posted. This is used to ensure that such groups
- -- of messages are treated as a unit. The \ character must be
- -- the first character of the message text.
