   --  copy. So typically we can see Optr pointing to the template location
   --  in an instantiation copy when Sptr points to the source location of
   --  the actual instantiation (i.e the line with the new). Msg_Cont is

   --  for a serious error. For a non-serious error, it has no effect.

   --  to be used for an & insertion in the message if any. The job of this
   --  procedure is to test for certain cascaded messages that we would like
   --  to suppress. If the message is to be suppressed then we return True.
   --  If the message should be generated (the normal case) False is returned.

   procedure Unwind_Internal_Type (Ent : in out Entity_Id);
   --  This procedure is given an entity id for an internal type, i.e.
   --  a type with an internal name. It unwinds the type to try to get
   --  to something reasonably printable, generating prefixes like
   --  "subtype of", "access to", etc along the way in the buffer. The
   --  value in Ent on return is the final name to be printed. Hopefully
   --  this is not an internal name, but in some internal name cases, it
   --  is an internal name, and has to be printed anyway (although in this
   --  case the message has been killed if possible). The global variable
   --  Class_Flag is set to True if the resulting entity should have
   --  'Class appended to its name (see Add_Class procedure), and is
   --  otherwise unchanged.

   procedure VMS_Convert;
   --  This procedure has no effect if called when the host is not OpenVMS.
   --  If the host is indeed OpenVMS, then the error message stored in
   --  Msg_Buffer is scanned for appearences of switch names which need
   --  converting to corresponding VMS qualifer names. See Gnames/Vnames
