--- Type Support Subprogram (TSS) handling
-
-with Types; use Types;
-
-package Exp_Tss is
-
- -- A type support subprogram (TSS) is an internally generated function or
- -- procedure that is associated with a particular type. Examples are the
- -- implicit initialization procedure, and subprograms for the Input and
- -- Output attributes.
-
- -- A given TSS is either generated once at the point of the declaration of
- -- the type, or it is generated as needed in clients, but only one copy is
- -- required in any one generated object file. The choice between these two
- -- possibilities is made on a TSS-by-TSS basis depending on the estimation
- -- of how likely the TSS is to be used. Initialization procedures fall in
- -- the first category, for example, since it is likely that any declared
- -- type will be used in a context requiring initialization, but the stream
- -- attributes use the second approach, since it is more likely that they
- -- will not be used at all, or will only be used in one client in any case.
-
- -- A TSS is identified by its Chars name, i.e. for a given TSS type, the
- -- same name is used for all types, e.g. the initialization routine has
- -- the name _init for all types.
-
- -- The TSS's for a given type are stored in an element list associated with
- -- the type, and referenced from the TSS_Elist field of the N_Freeze_Entity
- -- node associated with the type (all types that need TSS's always need to
- -- be explicitly frozen, so the N_Freeze_Entity node always exists).
-
- function TSS (Typ : Entity_Id; Nam : Name_Id) return Entity_Id;
- -- Finds the TSS with the given name associated with the given type. If
- -- no such TSS exists, then Empty is returned.
-
- procedure Set_TSS (Typ : Entity_Id; TSS : Entity_Id);
- -- This procedure is used to install a newly created TSS. The second
- -- argument is the entity for such a new TSS. This entity is placed in
- -- the TSS list for the type given as the first argument, replacing an
- -- old entry of the same name if one was present. The tree for the body
- -- of this TSS, which is not analyzed yet, is placed in the actions field
- -- of the freeze node for the type. All such bodies are inserted into the
- -- main tree and analyzed at the point at which the freeze node itself is
- -- is expanded.
-
- procedure Copy_TSS (TSS : Entity_Id; Typ : Entity_Id);
- -- Given an existing TSS for another type (which is already installed,
- -- analyzed and expanded), install it as the corresponding TSS for Typ.
- -- Note that this just copies a reference, not the tree. This can also
- -- be used to initially install a TSS in the case where the subprogram
- -- for the TSS has already been created and its declaration processed.
-
- function Init_Proc (Typ : Entity_Id) return Entity_Id;
- pragma Inline (Init_Proc);
- -- Obtains the _init TSS entry for the given type. This function call is
- -- equivalent to TSS (Typ, Name_uInit). The _init TSS is the procedure
- -- used to initialize otherwise uninitialized instances of a type. If
- -- there is no _init TSS, then the type requires no initialization. Note
- -- that subtypes and implicit types never have an _init TSS since subtype
- -- objects are always initialized using the initialization procedure for
- -- the corresponding base type (see Base_Init_Proc function). A special
- -- case arises for concurrent types. Such types do not themselves have an
- -- _init TSR, but initialization is required. The initialization procedure
- -- used is the one fot the corresponding record type (see Base_Init_Proc).
-
- function Base_Init_Proc (Typ : Entity_Id) return Entity_Id;
- -- Obtains the _Init TSS entry from the base type of the entity, and also
- -- deals with going indirect through the Corresponding_Record_Type field
- -- for concurrent objects (which are initialized with the initialization
- -- routine for the corresponding record type). Returns Empty if there is
- -- no _Init TSS entry for the base type.
-
- procedure Set_Init_Proc (Typ : Entity_Id; Init : Entity_Id);
- pragma Inline (Set_Init_Proc);
- -- The second argument is the _init TSS to be established for the type
- -- given as the first argument. Equivalent to Set_TSS (Typ, Init).
-
- function Has_Non_Null_Base_Init_Proc (Typ : Entity_Id) return Boolean;
- -- Returns true if the given type has a defined Base_Init_Proc and
- -- this init proc is not a null init proc (null init procs occur as
- -- a result of the processing for Initialize_Scalars. This function
- -- is used to test for the presence of an Init_Proc in cases where
- -- a null init proc is considered equivalent to no Init_Proc.
