-
--- This package provides an interface for raising predefined exceptions
--- with an exception message. It can be used from Pure units. This unit
--- is for internal use only, it is not generally available to applications.
-
-package GNAT.Exceptions is
-pragma Pure (Exceptions);
-
- type Exception_Type is limited null record;
- -- Type used to specify which exception to raise.
-
- -- Really Exception_Type is Exception_Id, but Exception_Id can't be
- -- used directly since it is declared in the non-pure unit Ada.Exceptions,
-
- -- Exception_Id is in fact simply a pointer to the type Exception_Data
- -- declared in System.Standard_Library (which is also non-pure). So what
- -- we do is to define it here as a by reference type (any by reference
- -- type would do), and then Import the definitions from Standard_Library.
- -- Since this is a by reference type, these will be passed by reference,
- -- which has the same effect as passing a pointer.
-
- -- This type is not private because keeping it by reference would require
- -- defining it in a way (e.g a tagged type) that would drag other run time
- -- files, which is unwanted in the case of e.g ravenscar where we want to
- -- minimize the number of run time files needed by default.
