0.1 Foreword to this version of the Ada Reference Manual
========================================================

0.1/4
The International Standard for the programming language Ada is ISO/IEC
8652:2012(E).

0.2/4
The Ada Working Group ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 22/WG 9 is tasked by ISO with the
work item to interpret and maintain the International Standard and to
produce Technical Corrigenda, as appropriate.  The technical work on the
International Standard is performed by the Ada Rapporteur Group (ARG) of
WG 9.  In June 2015, WG 9 approved and forwarded Technical Corrigendum 1
to SC 22 for ISO approval, which was granted in December 2015.
Technical Corrigendum 1 was published in February 2016.

0.4/4
The Technical Corrigendum lists the individual changes that need to be
made to the text of the International Standard to correct errors,
omissions or inconsistencies.  The corrections specified in Technical
Corrigendum 1 are part of the International Standard ISO/IEC
8652:2012(E).

0.6/4
When ISO published Technical Corrigendum 1, it did not also publish a
document that merges the changes from the Technical Corrigendum into the
text of the International Standard.  However, ISO rules require that the
project editor for the International Standard be able to produce such a
document on demand.

0.7/4
This version of the Ada Reference Manual is what the project editor
would provide to ISO in response to such a request.  It incorporates the
changes specified in the Technical Corrigendum into the text of ISO/IEC
8652:2012(E). It should be understood that the publication of any ISO
document involves changes in general format, boilerplate, headers, etc.,
as well as a review by professional editors that may introduce editorial
changes to the text.  This version of the Ada Reference Manual is
therefore neither an official ISO document, nor a version guaranteed to
be identical to an official ISO document, should ISO decide to reprint
the International Standard incorporating an approved Technical
Corrigendum.  It is nevertheless a best effort to be as close as
possible to the technical content of such an updated document.  In the
case of a conflict between this document and Technical Corrigendum 1 as
approved by ISO (or between this document and the original 8652:2012 in
the case of paragraphs not changed by Technical Corrigendum 1), the
other documents contain the official text of the International Standard
ISO/IEC 8652:2012(E).

0.8/4
As it is very inconvenient to have the Reference Manual for Ada
specified in two documents, this consolidated version of the Ada
Reference Manual is made available to the public.

0.2 Foreword
============

1/3
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the
International Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system
for worldwide standardization.  National bodies that are members of ISO
or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through
technical committees established by the respective organization to deal
with particular fields of technical activity.  ISO and IEC technical
committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest.  Other
international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work.  In the field of
information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical
committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1.

1.1/3
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

2/3
The main task of the joint technical committee is to prepare
International Standards.  Draft International Standards adopted by the
joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least
75 % of the national bodies casting a vote.

2.1/3
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this
document may be the subject of patent rights.  ISO and IEC shall not be
held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} This consolidated edition updates the third
edition (ISO/IEC 8652:2012).

5.a/3
          Discussion: This document is the Annotated Ada Reference
          Manual (AARM). It contains the entire text of the Ada 2012
          standard (ISO/IEC 8652:2012), plus various annotations.  It is
          intended primarily for compiler writers, validation test
          writers, and other language lawyers.  The annotations include
          detailed rationale for individual rules and explanations of
          some of the more arcane interactions among the rules.

Design Goals

6/3
{<AI95-00387-01AI95-00387-01>} Ada was originally designed with three
overriding concerns: program reliability and maintenance, programming as
a human activity, and efficiency.  The 1995 revision to the language was
designed to provide greater flexibility and extensibility, additional
control over storage management and synchronization, and standardized
packages oriented toward supporting important application areas, while
at the same time retaining the original emphasis on reliability,
maintainability, and efficiency.  This third edition provides further
flexibility and adds more standardized packages within the framework
provided by the 1995 revision.

7
The need for languages that promote reliability and simplify maintenance
is well established.  Hence emphasis was placed on program readability
over ease of writing.  For example, the rules of the language require
that program variables be explicitly declared and that their type be
specified.  Since the type of a variable is invariant, compilers can
ensure that operations on variables are compatible with the properties
intended for objects of the type.  Furthermore, error-prone notations
have been avoided, and the syntax of the language avoids the use of
encoded forms in favor of more English-like constructs.  Finally, the
language offers support for separate compilation of program units in a
way that facilitates program development and maintenance, and which
provides the same degree of checking between units as within a unit.

8
Concern for the human programmer was also stressed during the design.
Above all, an attempt was made to keep to a relatively small number of
underlying concepts integrated in a consistent and systematic way while
continuing to avoid the pitfalls of excessive involution.  The design
especially aims to provide language constructs that correspond
intuitively to the normal expectations of users.

9
Like many other human activities, the development of programs is
becoming ever more decentralized and distributed.  Consequently, the
ability to assemble a program from independently produced software
components continues to be a central idea in the design.  The concepts
of packages, of private types, and of generic units are directly related
to this idea, which has ramifications in many other aspects of the
language.  An allied concern is the maintenance of programs to match
changing requirements; type extension and the hierarchical library
enable a program to be modified while minimizing disturbance to existing
tested and trusted components.

10
No language can avoid the problem of efficiency.  Languages that require
over-elaborate compilers, or that lead to the inefficient use of storage
or execution time, force these inefficiencies on all machines and on all
programs.  Every construct of the language was examined in the light of
present implementation techniques.  Any proposed construct whose
implementation was unclear or that required excessive machine resources
was rejected.

Language Summary

11
An Ada program is composed of one or more program units.  Program units
may be subprograms (which define executable algorithms), packages (which
define collections of entities), task units (which define concurrent
computations), protected units (which define operations for the
coordinated sharing of data between tasks), or generic units (which
define parameterized forms of packages and subprograms).  Each program
unit normally consists of two parts: a specification, containing the
information that must be visible to other units, and a body, containing
the implementation details, which need not be visible to other units.
Most program units can be compiled separately.

12
This distinction of the specification and body, and the ability to
compile units separately, allows a program to be designed, written, and
tested as a set of largely independent software components.

13
An Ada program will normally make use of a library of program units of
general utility.  The language provides means whereby individual
organizations can construct their own libraries.  All libraries are
structured in a hierarchical manner; this enables the logical
decomposition of a subsystem into individual components.  The text of a
separately compiled program unit must name the library units it
requires.

14
<Program Units>

15
A subprogram is the basic unit for expressing an algorithm.  There are
two kinds of subprograms: procedures and functions.  A procedure is the
means of invoking a series of actions.  For example, it may read data,
update variables, or produce some output.  It may have parameters, to
provide a controlled means of passing information between the procedure
and the point of call.  A function is the means of invoking the
computation of a value.  It is similar to a procedure, but in addition
will return a result.

16
A package is the basic unit for defining a collection of logically
related entities.  For example, a package can be used to define a set of
type declarations and associated operations.  Portions of a package can
be hidden from the user, thus allowing access only to the logical
properties expressed by the package specification.

17
Subprogram and package units may be compiled separately and arranged in
hierarchies of parent and child units giving fine control over
visibility of the logical properties and their detailed implementation.

18
A task unit is the basic unit for defining a task whose sequence of
actions may be executed concurrently with those of other tasks.  Such
tasks may be implemented on multicomputers, multiprocessors, or with
interleaved execution on a single processor.  A task unit may define
either a single executing task or a task type permitting the creation of
any number of similar tasks.

19/2
{<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} A protected unit is the basic unit for
defining protected operations for the coordinated use of data shared
between tasks.  Simple mutual exclusion is provided automatically, and
more elaborate sharing protocols can be defined.  A protected operation
can either be a subprogram or an entry.  A protected entry specifies a
Boolean expression (an entry barrier) that must be True before the body
of the entry is executed.  A protected unit may define a single
protected object or a protected type permitting the creation of several
similar objects.

20
<Declarations and Statements>

21
The body of a program unit generally contains two parts: a declarative
part, which defines the logical entities to be used in the program unit,
and a sequence of statements, which defines the execution of the program
unit.

22
The declarative part associates names with declared entities.  For
example, a name may denote a type, a constant, a variable, or an
exception.  A declarative part also introduces the names and parameters
of other nested subprograms, packages, task units, protected units, and
generic units to be used in the program unit.

23
The sequence of statements describes a sequence of actions that are to
be performed.  The statements are executed in succession (unless a
transfer of control causes execution to continue from another place).

24
An assignment statement changes the value of a variable.  A procedure
call invokes execution of a procedure after associating any actual
parameters provided at the call with the corresponding formal
parameters.

25
Case statements and if statements allow the selection of an enclosed
sequence of statements based on the value of an expression or on the
value of a condition.

26
The loop statement provides the basic iterative mechanism in the
language.  A loop statement specifies that a sequence of statements is
to be executed repeatedly as directed by an iteration scheme, or until
an exit statement is encountered.

27
A block statement comprises a sequence of statements preceded by the
declaration of local entities used by the statements.

28
Certain statements are associated with concurrent execution.  A delay
statement delays the execution of a task for a specified duration or
until a specified time.  An entry call statement is written as a
procedure call statement; it requests an operation on a task or on a
protected object, blocking the caller until the operation can be
performed.  A called task may accept an entry call by executing a
corresponding accept statement, which specifies the actions then to be
performed as part of the rendezvous with the calling task.  An entry
call on a protected object is processed when the corresponding entry
barrier evaluates to true, whereupon the body of the entry is executed.
The requeue statement permits the provision of a service as a number of
related activities with preference control.  One form of the select
statement allows a selective wait for one of several alternative
rendezvous.  Other forms of the select statement allow conditional or
timed entry calls and the asynchronous transfer of control in response
to some triggering event.

29
Execution of a program unit may encounter error situations in which
normal program execution cannot continue.  For example, an arithmetic
computation may exceed the maximum allowed value of a number, or an
attempt may be made to access an array component by using an incorrect
index value.  To deal with such error situations, the statements of a
program unit can be textually followed by exception handlers that
specify the actions to be taken when the error situation arises.
Exceptions can be raised explicitly by a raise statement.

30
<Data Types>

31
Every object in the language has a type, which characterizes a set of
values and a set of applicable operations.  The main classes of types
are elementary types (comprising enumeration, numeric, and access types)
and composite types (including array and record types).

32/2
{<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} {<AI95-00387-01AI95-00387-01>} An
enumeration type defines an ordered set of distinct enumeration
literals, for example a list of states or an alphabet of characters.
The enumeration types Boolean, Character, Wide_Character, and
Wide_Wide_Character are predefined.

33
Numeric types provide a means of performing exact or approximate
numerical computations.  Exact computations use integer types, which
denote sets of consecutive integers.  Approximate computations use
either fixed point types, with absolute bounds on the error, or floating
point types, with relative bounds on the error.  The numeric types
Integer, Float, and Duration are predefined.

34/2
{<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} {<AI95-00387-01AI95-00387-01>} Composite
types allow definitions of structured objects with related components.
The composite types in the language include arrays and records.  An
array is an object with indexed components of the same type.  A record
is an object with named components of possibly different types.  Task
and protected types are also forms of composite types.  The array types
String, Wide_String, and Wide_Wide_String are predefined.

35
Record, task, and protected types may have special components called
discriminants which parameterize the type.  Variant record structures
that depend on the values of discriminants can be defined within a
record type.

36
Access types allow the construction of linked data structures.  A value
of an access type represents a reference to an object declared as
aliased or to an object created by the evaluation of an allocator.
Several variables of an access type may designate the same object, and
components of one object may designate the same or other objects.  Both
the elements in such linked data structures and their relation to other
elements can be altered during program execution.  Access types also
permit references to subprograms to be stored, passed as parameters, and
ultimately dereferenced as part of an indirect call.

37
Private types permit restricted views of a type.  A private type can be
defined in a package so that only the logically necessary properties are
made visible to the users of the type.  The full structural details that
are externally irrelevant are then only available within the package and
any child units.

38
From any type a new type may be defined by derivation.  A type, together
with its derivatives (both direct and indirect) form a derivation class.
Class-wide operations may be defined that accept as a parameter an
operand of any type in a derivation class.  For record and private
types, the derivatives may be extensions of the parent type.  Types that
support these object-oriented capabilities of class-wide operations and
type extension must be tagged, so that the specific type of an operand
within a derivation class can be identified at run time.  When an
operation of a tagged type is applied to an operand whose specific type
is not known until run time, implicit dispatching is performed based on
the tag of the operand.

38.1/2
{<AI95-00387-01AI95-00387-01>} Interface types provide abstract models
from which other interfaces and types may be composed and derived.  This
provides a reliable form of multiple inheritance.  Interface types may
also be implemented by task types and protected types thereby enabling
concurrent programming and inheritance to be merged.

39
The concept of a type is further refined by the concept of a subtype,
whereby a user can constrain the set of allowed values of a type.
Subtypes can be used to define subranges of scalar types, arrays with a
limited set of index values, and records and private types with
particular discriminant values.

40
<Other Facilities>

41/2
{<AI95-00387-01AI95-00387-01>} Aspect clauses can be used to specify the
mapping between types and features of an underlying machine.  For
example, the user can specify that objects of a given type must be
represented with a given number of bits, or that the components of a
record are to be represented using a given storage layout.  Other
features allow the controlled use of low level, nonportable, or
implementation-dependent aspects, including the direct insertion of
machine code.

42/2
{<AI95-00387-01AI95-00387-01>} The predefined environment of the
language provides for input-output and other capabilities by means of
standard library packages.  Input-output is supported for values of
user-defined as well as of predefined types.  Standard means of
representing values in display form are also provided.

42.1/2
{<AI95-00387-01AI95-00387-01>} The predefined standard library packages
provide facilities such as string manipulation, containers of various
kinds (vectors, lists, maps, etc.), mathematical functions, random
number generation, and access to the execution environment.

42.2/2
{<AI95-00387-01AI95-00387-01>} The specialized annexes define further
predefined library packages and facilities with emphasis on areas such
as real-time scheduling, interrupt handling, distributed systems,
numerical computation, and high-integrity systems.

43
Finally, the language provides a powerful means of parameterization of
program units, called generic program units.  The generic parameters can
be types and subprograms (as well as objects and packages) and so allow
general algorithms and data structures to be defined that are applicable
to all types of a given class.

Language Changes

<Paragraphs 44 through 57 have been removed as they described
differences from the first edition of Ada (Ada 83).>

57.1/3
{<AI95-00387-01AI95-00387-01>} This International Standard replaces the
second edition of 1995.  It modifies the previous edition by making
changes and additions that improve the capability of the language and
the reliability of programs written in the language.  This edition
incorporates the changes from Amendment 1 (ISO/IEC 8652:1995:AMD
1:2007), which were designed to improve the portability of programs,
interfacing to other languages, and both the object-oriented and
real-time capabilities.

57.2/3
{<AI95-00387-01AI95-00387-01>} {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} Significant
changes originating in Amendment 1 are incorporated:

57.3/3
   * Support for program text is extended to cover the entire ISO/IEC
     10646:2003 repertoire.  Execution support now includes the 32-bit
     character set.  See subclauses *note 2.1::, *note 3.5.2::, *note
     3.6.3::, *note A.1::, *note A.3::, and *note A.4::.

57.4/3
   * The object-oriented model has been improved by the addition of an
     interface facility which provides multiple inheritance and
     additional flexibility for type extensions.  See subclauses *note
     3.4::, *note 3.9::, and *note 7.3::.  An alternative notation for
     calling operations more akin to that used in other languages has
     also been added.  See subclause *note 4.1.3::.

57.5/3
   * Access types have been further extended to unify properties such as
     the ability to access constants and to exclude null values.  See
     clause *note 3.10::.  Anonymous access types are now permitted more
     freely and anonymous access-to-subprogram types are introduced.
     See subclauses *note 3.3::, *note 3.6::, *note 3.10::, and *note
     8.5.1::.

57.6/3
   * The control of structure and visibility has been enhanced to permit
     mutually dependent references between units and finer control over
     access from the private part of a package.  See subclauses *note
     3.10.1:: and *note 10.1.2::.  In addition, limited types have been
     made more useful by the provision of aggregates, constants, and
     constructor functions.  See subclauses *note 4.3::, *note 6.5::,
     and *note 7.5::.

57.7/3
   * The predefined environment has been extended to include additional
     time and calendar operations, improved string handling, a
     comprehensive container library, file and directory management, and
     access to environment variables.  See subclauses *note 9.6.1::,
     *note A.4::, *note A.16::, *note A.17::, and *note A.18::.

57.8/3
   * Two of the Specialized Needs Annexes have been considerably
     enhanced:

57.9/2
             * The Real-Time Systems Annex now includes the Ravenscar
               profile for high-integrity systems, further dispatching
               policies such as Round Robin and Earliest Deadline First,
               support for timing events, and support for control of CPU
               time utilization.  See subclauses *note D.2::, *note
               D.13::, *note D.14::, and *note D.15::.

57.10/3
             * The Numerics Annex now includes support for real and
               complex vectors and matrices as previously defined in
               ISO/IEC 13813:1997 plus further basic operations for
               linear algebra.  See subclause *note G.3::.

57.11/3
   * The overall reliability of the language has been enhanced by a
     number of improvements.  These include new syntax which detects
     accidental overloading, as well as pragmas for making assertions
     and giving better control over the suppression of checks.  See
     subclauses *note 6.1::, *note 11.4.2::, and *note 11.5::.

57.12/3
{<AI05-0245-1AI05-0245-1>} In addition, this third edition makes
enhancements to address two important issues, namely, the particular
problems of multiprocessor architectures, and the need to further
increase the capabilities regarding assertions for correctness.  It also
makes additional changes and additions that improve the capability of
the language and the reliability of programs written in the language.

57.13/3
{<AI05-0245-1AI05-0245-1>} {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} The following
significant changes with respect to the 1995 edition as amended by
Amendment 1 are incorporated:

57.14/3
   * New syntax (the aspect specification) is introduced to enable
     properties to be specified for various entities in a more
     structured manner than through pragmas.  See subclause *note
     13.1.1::.

57.15/4
   * {<AI12-0141-1AI12-0141-1>} The concept of assertions introduced in
     the 2005 edition is extended with the ability to specify
     preconditions and postconditions for subprograms, and invariants
     for private types and interfaces.  The concept of constraints in
     defining subtypes is supplemented with subtype predicates that
     enable subsets to be specified other than as simple ranges.  These
     properties are all indicated using aspect specifications.  See
     subclauses *note 3.2.4::, *note 6.1.1::, and *note 7.3.2::.

57.16/4
   * {<AI12-0141-1AI12-0141-1>} New forms of expressions are introduced.
     These are if expressions, case expressions, quantified expressions,
     expression functions, and raise expressions.  As well as being
     useful for programming in general by avoiding the introduction of
     unnecessary assignments, they are especially valuable in conditions
     and invariants since they avoid the need to introduce auxiliary
     functions.  See subclauses *note 4.5.7::, *note 4.5.8::, *note
     6.8::, and *note 11.3::.  Membership tests are also made more
     flexible.  See subclauses *note 4.4:: and *note 4.5.2::.

57.17/3
   * A number of changes are made to subprogram parameters.  Functions
     may now have parameters of all modes.  In order to mitigate
     consequent (and indeed existing) problems of inadvertent order
     dependence, rules are introduced to reduce aliasing.  A parameter
     may now be explicitly marked as aliased and the type of a parameter
     may be incomplete in certain circumstances.  See subclauses *note
     3.10.1::, *note 6.1::, and *note 6.4.1::.

57.18/3
   * The use of access types is now more flexible.  The rules for
     accessibility and certain conversions are improved.  See subclauses
     *note 3.10.2::, *note 4.5.2::, *note 4.6::, and *note 8.6::.
     Furthermore, better control of storage pools is provided.  See
     subclause *note 13.11.4::.

57.19/3
   * The Real-Time Systems Annex now includes facilities for defining
     domains of processors and assigning tasks to them.  Improvements
     are made to scheduling and budgeting facilities.  See subclauses
     *note D.10.1::, *note D.14::, and *note D.16::.

57.20/3
   * A number of important improvements are made to the standard
     library.  These include packages for conversions between strings
     and UTF encodings, and classification functions for wide and wide
     wide characters.  Internationalization is catered for by a package
     giving locale information.  See subclauses *note A.3::, *note
     A.4.11::, and *note A.19::.  The container library is extended to
     include bounded forms of the existing containers and new containers
     for indefinite objects, multiway trees, and queues.  See subclause
     *note A.18::.

57.21/3
   * Finally, certain features are added primarily to ease the use of
     containers, such as the ability to iterate over all elements in a
     container without having to encode the iteration.  These can also
     be used for iteration over arrays, and within quantified
     expressions.  See subclauses *note 4.1.5::, *note 4.1.6::, *note
     5.5.1::, and *note 5.5.2::.

Acknowledgements for the Ada 83 edition

65.1/3
Ada is the result of a collective effort to design a common language for
programming large scale and real-time systems.

65.2/3
The common high order language program began in 1974.  The requirements
of the United States Department of Defense were formalized in a series
of documents which were extensively reviewed by the Services, industrial
organizations, universities, and foreign military departments.  The Ada
language was designed in accordance with the final (1978) form of these
requirements, embodied in the Steelman specification.

65.3/3
The Ada design team was led by Jean D. Ichbiah and has included Bernd
Krieg-Brueckner, Brian A. Wichmann, Henry F. Ledgard, Jean-Claude
Heliard, Jean-Loup Gailly, Jean-Raymond Abrial, John G.P. Barnes, Mike
Woodger, Olivier Roubine, Paul N. Hilfinger, and Robert Firth.

65.4/3
At various stages of the project, several people closely associated with
the design team made major contributions.  They include J.B. Goodenough,
R.F. Brender, M.W. Davis, G. Ferran, K. Lester, L. MacLaren, E. Morel,
I.R. Nassi, I.C. Pyle, S.A. Schuman, and S.C. Vestal.

65.5/3
Two parallel efforts that were started in the second phase of this
design had a deep influence on the language.  One was the development of
a formal definition using denotational semantics, with the participation
of V. Donzeau-Gouge, G. Kahn, and B. Lang.  The other was the design of
a test translator with the participation of K. Ripken, P. Boullier, P.
Cadiou, J. Holden, J.F. Hueras, R.G. Lange, and D.T. Cornhill.  The
entire effort benefitted from the dedicated assistance of Lyn Churchill
and Marion Myers, and the effective technical support of B. Gravem, W.L.
Heimerdinger, and P. Cleve.  H.G. Schmitz served as program manager.

65.6/3
Over the five years spent on this project, several intense week-long
design reviews were conducted, with the participation of P. Belmont, B.
Brosgol, P. Cohen, R. Dewar, A. Evans, G. Fisher, H. Harte, A.L. Hisgen,
P. Knueven, M. Kronental, N. Lomuto, E. Ploedereder, G. Seegmueller, V.
Stenning, D. Taffs, and also F. Belz, R. Converse, K. Correll, A.N.
Habermann, J. Sammet, S. Squires, J. Teller, P. Wegner, and P.R.
Wetherall.

65.7/3
Several persons had a constructive influence with their comments,
criticisms and suggestions.  They include P. Brinch Hansen, G. Goos,
C.A.R. Hoare, Mark Rain, W.A. Wulf, and also E. Boebert, P. Bonnard, H.
Clausen, M. Cox, G. Dismukes, R. Eachus, T. Froggatt, H. Ganzinger, C.
Hewitt, S. Kamin, R. Kotler, O. Lecarme, J.A.N. Lee, J.L. Mansion, F.
Minel, T. Phinney, J. Roehrich, V. Schneider, A. Singer, D. Slosberg,
I.C. Wand, the reviewers of Ada-Europe, AdaTech, Afcet, those of the
LMSC review team, and those of the Ada Tokyo Study Group.

65.8/3
These reviews and comments, the numerous evaluation reports received at
the end of the first and second phase, the nine hundred language issue
reports and test and evaluation reports received from fifteen different
countries during the third phase of the project, the thousands of
comments received during the ANSI Canvass, and the on-going work of the
IFIP Working Group 2.4 on system implementation languages and that of
the Purdue Europe LTPL-E committee, all had a substantial influence on
the final definition of Ada.

65.9/3
The Military Departments and Agencies have provided a broad base of
support including funding, extensive reviews, and countless individual
contributions by the members of the High Order Language Working Group
and other interested personnel.  In particular, William A. Whitaker
provided leadership for the program during the formative stages.  David
A. Fisher was responsible for the successful development and refinement
of the language requirement documents that led to the Steelman
specification.

65.10/3
The Ada 83 language definition was developed by Cii Honeywell Bull and
later Alsys, and by Honeywell Systems and Research Center, under
contract to the United States Department of Defense.  William E. Carlson
and later Larry E. Druffel served as the technical representatives of
the United States Government and effectively coordinated the efforts of
all participants in the Ada program.

   * This list of Changes is not included in the International Standard.

74
   * The "Acknowledgements" page is not included in the International
     Standard.

Using this version of the Ada Reference Manual

77.4/4
This document has been revised with the corrections specified in
Technical Corrigendum 1 (ISO/IEC 8652:2012/COR.1:2016).  In addition,
more annotations have been added and a variety of editorial errors have
been corrected.

77.5/4
Changes to the original 8652:1995 can be identified by the version
number following the paragraph number.  Paragraphs with a version number
of /1 were changed by Technical Corrigendum 1 for Ada 95 or were
editorial corrections at that time, while paragraphs with a version
number of /2 were changed by Amendment 1 or were more recent editorial
corrections, and paragraphs with a version number of /3 were changed by
the third (2012) edition of the Standard or were still more recent
editorial corrections.  Paragraphs with a version number of /4 are
changed by Technical Corrigendum 1 for Ada 2012 or were editorial
corrections at that time.  Paragraphs not so marked are unchanged by
Technical Corrigendum 1 for Ada 2012, the third edition, Amendment 1,
Technical Corrigendum 1, or editorial corrections.  Paragraph numbers of
unchanged paragraphs are the same as in the 1995 edition of the Ada
Reference Manual.  Inserted text is indicated by underlining, and
deleted text is indicated by strikethroughs.  Some versions also use
color to indicate the version of the change.Where paragraphs are
inserted, the paragraph numbers are of the form pp.nn, where pp is the
number of the preceding paragraph, and nn is an insertion number.  For
instance, the first paragraph inserted after paragraph 8 is numbered
8.1, the second paragraph inserted is numbered 8.2, and so on.  Deleted
paragraphs are indicated by the text <This paragraph was deleted.>
Deleted paragraphs include empty paragraphs that were numbered in the
1995 edition of the Ada Reference Manual.  Similar markings and
numbering are used for changes to annotations.

77.a/3
          To be honest: The paragraph number is considered part of the
          paragraph; when a paragraph is moved to a different paragraph
          number, it is marked as changed even if the contents have not
          changed.

2.a/4
          Discussion: This Annotated Ada Reference Manual (AARM)
          contains the entire text of the third edition of the Ada
          Reference Manual as updated by Technical Corrigendum 1 (the
          Ada 2012 RM), plus certain annotations.  The annotations give
          a more in-depth analysis of the language.  They describe the
          reason for each nonobvious rule, and point out interesting
          ramifications of the rules and interactions among the rules
          (interesting to language lawyers, that is).  Differences
          between Ada 83, Ada 95, Ada 2005, and Ada 2012 are listed.
          (The text you are reading now is an annotation.)

2.b/3
          The AARM stresses detailed correctness and uniformity over
          readability and understandability.  We're not trying to make
          the language "appear" simple here; on the contrary, we're
          trying to expose hidden complexities, so we can more easily
          detect language bugs.  The Ada 2012 RM, on the other hand, is
          intended to be a more readable document for programmers.

2.c
          The annotations in the AARM are as follows:

2.d/3
             * Text that is logically redundant is shown [in square
               brackets, like this].  Technically, such text could be
               written as a Note in the Ada 2012 RM (and the Ada 95 and
               2005 RMs before it), since it is really a theorem that
               can be proven from the nonredundant rules of the
               language.  We use the square brackets instead when it
               seems to make the Ada 2012 RM more readable.

2.e
             * The rules of the language (and some AARM-only text) are
               categorized, and placed under certain <sub-headings> that
               indicate the category.  For example, the distinction
               between Name Resolution Rules and Legality Rules is
               particularly important, as explained in *note 8.6::.

2.f
             * Text under the following sub-headings appears in both
               documents:

2.g
                       * The unlabeled text at the beginning of each
                         clause or subclause,

2.h
                       * Syntax,

2.i
                       * Name Resolution Rules,

2.j
                       * Legality Rules,

2.k
                       * Static Semantics,

                       * Documentation Requirements,

2.r
                       * Metrics,

2.s
                       * Implementation Permissions,

2.t
                       * Implementation Advice,

2.u
                       * NOTES,

2.v
                       * Examples.

2.w/3
             * Text under the following sub-headings does not appear in
               the Ada 2012 RM:

2.x
                       * Language Design Principles,

2.y
                       * Inconsistencies With Ada 83,

                       * Wording Changes from Ada 2012.

2.cc
             * The AARM also includes the following kinds of
               annotations.  These do not necessarily annotate the
               immediately preceding rule, although they often do.

2.dd
          Reason: An explanation of why a certain rule is necessary, or
          why it is worded in a certain way.

2.ee
          Ramification: An obscure ramification of the rules that is of
          interest only to language lawyers.  (If a ramification of the
          rules is of interest to programmers, then it appears under
          NOTES.)

2.ff
          Proof: An informal proof explaining how a given Note or
          [marked-as-redundant] piece of text follows from the other
          rules of the language.

2.gg
          Implementation Note: A hint about how to implement a feature,
          or a particular potential pitfall that an implementer needs to
          be aware of.

2.hh
          Change: Change annotations are not used in this version.
          Changes from previous versions have been removed.  Changes in
          this version are marked with versioned paragraph numbers, as
          explained in the "Corrigendum Changes" clause of the
          "Introduction".

2.ii
          Discussion: Other annotations not covered by the above.

2.jj
          To be honest: A rule that is considered logically necessary to
          the definition of the language, but which is so obscure or
          pedantic that only a language lawyer would care.  These are
          the only annotations that could be considered part of the
          language definition.

2.kk
          Glossary entry: The text of a Glossary entry -- this text will
          also appear in *note Annex N::, "*note Annex N:: Glossary".

2.ll/3
          Discussion: In general, the Ada 2012 RM text appears in the
          normal font, whereas AARM-only text appears in a smaller font.
          Notes also appear in the smaller font, as recommended by
          ISO/IEC style guidelines.  Ada examples are also usually
          printed in a smaller font.

2.mm
          If you have trouble finding things, be sure to use the index.          Each defined term appears there, and also in <italics, like
          this>.  Syntactic categories defined in BNF are also indexed.

2.nn
          A definition marked "[distributed]" is the main definition for
          a term whose complete definition is given in pieces
          distributed throughout the document.  The pieces are marked
          "[partial]" or with a phrase explaining what cases the partial
          definition applies to.

1.1 Scope
=========

1/3
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} This International Standard specifies the
form and meaning of programs written in Ada.  Its purpose is to promote
the portability of Ada programs to a variety of computing systems.

2/3
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} Ada is a programming language designed to
support the construction of long-lived, highly reliable software
systems.  The language includes facilities to define packages of related
types, objects, and operations.  The packages may be parameterized and
the types may be extended to support the construction of libraries of
reusable, adaptable software components.  The operations may be
implemented as subprograms using conventional sequential control
structures, or as entries that include synchronization of concurrent
threads of control as part of their invocation.  Ada supports
object-oriented programming by providing classes and interfaces,
inheritance, polymorphism of variables and methods, and generic units.
The language treats modularity in the physical sense as well, with a
facility to support separate compilation.

3/4
{<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>} {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>}
{<AI12-0056-1AI12-0056-1>} The language provides rich support for
real-time, concurrent programming, and includes facilities for multicore
and multiprocessor programming.  Errors can be signaled as exceptions
and handled explicitly.  The language also covers systems programming;
this requires precise control over the representation of data and access
to system-dependent properties.  Finally, a predefined environment of
standard packages is provided, including facilities for, among others,
input-output, string manipulation, numeric elementary functions, random
number generation, and definition and use of containers.

1.1.2 Structure
---------------

1/3
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} This International Standard contains thirteen
clauses, fifteen annexes, and an index.

1.a/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} What Ada 83 called a
          "chapter" and Ada 95 (and Ada 2005) called a "section" is
          called a "clause" in this Standard.  Similarly, what Ada 83
          called a "section" and Ada 95 (and Ada 2005) called a "clause"
          is called a "subclause" in this Standard.  Confused yet?  This
          terminology is out of our hands; it is (and was) forced by
          ever-changing ISO rules for drafting Standards.

2
The <core> of the Ada language consists of:

3/3
   * {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} Clauses 1 through 13

4
   * *note Annex A::, "*note Annex A:: Predefined Language Environment"

5
   * *note Annex B::, "*note Annex B:: Interface to Other Languages"

6
   * *note Annex J::, "*note Annex J:: Obsolescent Features"

7
The following <Specialized Needs Annexes> define features that are
needed by certain application areas:

8
   * *note Annex C::, "*note Annex C:: Systems Programming"

9
   * *note Annex D::, "*note Annex D:: Real-Time Systems"

10
   * *note Annex E::, "*note Annex E:: Distributed Systems"

11
   * *note Annex F::, "*note Annex F:: Information Systems"

12
   * *note Annex G::, "*note Annex G:: Numerics"

13
   * *note Annex H::, "*note Annex H:: High Integrity Systems"

14
The core language and the Specialized Needs Annexes are normative,
except that the material in each of the items listed below is
informative:

15
   * Text under a NOTES or Examples heading.

16/3
   * {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} Each subclause whose title starts with
     the word "Example" or "Examples".

17
All implementations shall conform to the core language.  In addition, an
implementation may conform separately to one or more Specialized Needs
Annexes.

18
The following Annexes are informative:

19
   * *note Annex K::, "*note Annex K:: Language-Defined Aspects and
     Attributes"

20
   * *note Annex L::, "*note Annex L:: Language-Defined Pragmas"

21/3
   * {<AI05-0004-1AI05-0004-1>} *note Annex M::, "*note Annex M::
     Summary of Documentation Requirements"

22
   * *note Annex N::, "*note Annex N:: Glossary"

23
   * *note Annex P::, "*note Annex P:: Syntax Summary"

23.1/3
   * {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} *note Annex Q::, "*note Annex Q::
     Language-Defined Entities"

23.a
          Discussion: The idea of the Specialized Needs Annexes is that
          implementations can choose to target certain application
          areas.  For example, an implementation specifically targeted
          to embedded machines might support the application-specific
          features for Real-time Systems, but not the
          application-specific features for Information Systems.

23.b
          The Specialized Needs Annexes extend the core language only in
          ways that users, implementations, and standards bodies are
          allowed to extend the language; for example, via additional
          library units, attributes, representation items (see *note
          13.1::), pragmas, and constraints on semantic details that are
          left unspecified by the core language.  Many implementations
          already provide much of the functionality defined by
          Specialized Needs Annexes; our goal is to increase uniformity
          among implementations by defining standard ways of providing
          the functionality.

23.c/2
          {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} We recommend that the
          certification procedures allow implementations to certify the
          core language, plus any set of the Specialized Needs Annexes.
          We recommend that implementations <not> be allowed to certify
          a portion of one of the Specialized Needs Annexes, although
          implementations can, of course, provide uncertified support
          for such portions.  We have designed the Specialized Needs
          Annexes assuming that this recommendation is followed.  Thus,
          our decisions about what to include and what not to include in
          those annexes are based on the assumption that each annex is
          certified in an "all-or-nothing" manner.

23.d
          An implementation may, of course, support extensions that are
          different from (but possibly related to) those defined by one
          of the Specialized Needs Annexes.  We recommend that, where
          appropriate, implementations do this by adding library units
          that are children of existing language-defined library
          packages.

23.e
          An implementation should not provide extensions that conflict
          with those defined in the Specialized Needs Annexes, in the
          following sense: Suppose an implementation supports a certain
          error-free program that uses only functionality defined in the
          core and in the Specialized Needs Annexes.  The implementation
          should ensure that that program will still be error free in
          some possible full implementation of all of the Specialized
          Needs Annexes, and that the semantics of the program will not
          change.  For example, an implementation should not provide a
          package with the same name as one defined in one of the
          Specialized Needs Annexes, but that behaves differently, <even
          if that implementation does not claim conformance to that
          Annex>.

23.f
          Note that the Specialized Needs Annexes do not conflict with
          each other; it is the intent that a single implementation can
          conform to all of them.

24/4
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} {<AI12-0056-1AI12-0056-1>} Each clause is
divided into subclauses that have a common structure.  Each clause and
subclause first introduces its subject.  After the introductory text,
text is labeled with the following headings:

                     _Language Design Principles_

24.a
          These are not rules of the language, but guiding principles or
          goals used in defining the rules of the language.  In some
          cases, the goal is only partially met; such cases are
          explained.

24.b/3
          {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} This is not part of the definition
          of the language, and does not appear in the Ada 2012 RM.

                               _Syntax_

25
     Syntax rules (indented).

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

26/3
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} Compile-time rules that are used in name
resolution, including overload resolution.

26.a
          Discussion: These rules are observed at compile time.  (We say
          "observed" rather than "checked," because these rules are not
          individually checked.  They are really just part of the
          Legality Rules in Clause *note 8:: that require exactly one
          interpretation of each constituent of a complete context.)
          The only rules used in overload resolution are the Syntax
          Rules and the Name Resolution Rules.

26.b
          When dealing with nonoverloadable declarations it sometimes
          makes no semantic difference whether a given rule is a Name
          Resolution Rule or a Legality Rule, and it is sometimes
          difficult to decide which it should be.  We generally make a
          given rule a Name Resolution Rule only if it has to be.  For
          example, "The name, if any, in a raise_statement shall be the
          name of an exception."  is under "Legality Rules."

                           _Legality Rules_

27
Rules that are enforced at compile time.  A construct is <legal> if it
obeys all of the Legality Rules.

27.a
          Discussion: These rules are not used in overload resolution.

27.b
          Note that run-time errors are always attached to exceptions;
          for example, it is not "illegal" to divide by zero, it just
          raises an exception.

                          _Static Semantics_

28
A definition of the compile-time effect of each construct.

28.a
          Discussion: The most important compile-time effects represent
          the effects on the symbol table associated with declarations
          (implicit or explicit).  In addition, we use this heading as a
          bit of a grab bag for equivalences, package specifications,
          etc.  For example, this is where we put statements like
          so-and-so is equivalent to such-and-such.  (We ought to try to
          really mean it when we say such things!)  Similarly,
          statements about magically-generated implicit declarations go
          here.  These rules are generally written as statements of fact
          about the semantics, rather than as a
          you-shall-do-such-and-such sort of thing.

                       _Post-Compilation Rules_

29
Rules that are enforced before running a partition.  A partition is
legal if its compilation units are legal and it obeys all of the
Post-Compilation Rules.

29.a
          Discussion: It is not specified exactly when these rules are
          checked, so long as they are checked for any given partition
          before that partition starts running.  An implementation may
          choose to check some such rules at compile time, and reject
          compilation_units accordingly.  Alternatively, an
          implementation may check such rules when the partition is
          created (usually known as "link time"), or when the partition
          is mapped to a particular piece of hardware (but before the
          partition starts running).

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

30
A definition of the run-time effect of each construct.

30.a
          Discussion: This heading describes what happens at run time.
          Run-time checks, which raise exceptions upon failure, are
          described here.  Each item that involves a run-time check is
          marked with the name of the check -- these are the same check
          names that are used in a pragma Suppress.  Principle: Every
          check should have a name, usable in a pragma Suppress.

                      _Bounded (Run-Time) Errors_

31
Situations that result in bounded (run-time) errors (see *note 1.1.5::).

31.a
          Discussion: The "bounds" of each such error are described here
          -- that is, we characterize the set of all possible behaviors
          that can result from a bounded error occurring at run time.

                         _Erroneous Execution_

32
Situations that result in erroneous execution (see *note 1.1.5::).

                     _Implementation Requirements_

33
Additional requirements for conforming implementations.

33.a
          Discussion: ...as opposed to rules imposed on the programmer.
          An example might be, "The smallest representable duration,
          Duration'Small, shall not be greater than twenty
          milliseconds."

33.b
          It's really just an issue of how the rule is worded.  We could
          write the same rule as "The smallest representable duration is
          an implementation-defined value less than or equal to 20
          milliseconds" and then it would be under "Static Semantics."

                     _Documentation Requirements_

34
Documentation requirements for conforming implementations.

34.a
          Discussion: These requirements are beyond those that are
          implicitly specified by the phrase "implementation defined".
          The latter require documentation as well, but we don't repeat
          these cases under this heading.  Usually this heading is used
          for when the description of the documentation requirement is
          longer and does not correspond directly to one, narrow
          normative sentence.

                               _Metrics_

35
Metrics that are specified for the time/space properties of the
execution of certain language constructs.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

36
Additional permissions given to the implementer.

36.a
          Discussion: For example, "The implementation is allowed to
          impose further restrictions on the record aggregates allowed
          in code statements."  When there are restrictions on the
          permission, those restrictions are given here also.  For
          example, "An implementation is allowed to restrict the kinds
          of subprograms that are allowed to be main subprograms.
          However, it shall support at least parameterless procedures."
          -- we don't split this up between here and "Implementation
          Requirements."

                        _Implementation Advice_

37
Optional advice given to the implementer.  The word "should" is used to
indicate that the advice is a recommendation, not a requirement.  It is
implementation defined whether or not a given recommendation is obeyed.

37.a/2
          Implementation defined: Whether or not each recommendation
          given in Implementation Advice is followed -- see *note M.3::,
          "*note M.3:: Implementation Advice" for a listing.

37.b/1
          Discussion: The advice generally shows the intended
          implementation, but the implementer is free to ignore it.  The
          implementer is the sole arbiter of whether or not the advice
          has been obeyed, if not, whether the reason is a good one, and
          whether the required documentation is sufficient.  It would be
          wrong for the ACATS to enforce any of this advice.

37.c
          For example, "Whenever possible, the implementation should
          choose a value no greater than fifty microseconds for the
          smallest representable duration, Duration'Small."

37.d
          We use this heading, for example, when the rule is so low
          level or implementation-oriented as to be untestable.  We also
          use this heading when we wish to encourage implementations to
          behave in a certain way in most cases, but we do not wish to
          burden implementations by requiring the behavior.

     NOTES

     (sub)clause or elsewhere.  This material is informative.

39.a
          Discussion:  

          The next three headings list all language changes between Ada
          83 and Ada 95.  Language changes are any change that changes
          the set of text strings that are legal Ada programs, or
          changes the meaning of any legal program.  Wording changes,
          such as changes in terminology, are not language changes.
          Each language change falls into one of the following three
          categories:

                     _Inconsistencies With Ada 83_

39.b
          This heading lists all of the upward inconsistencies between
          Ada 83 and Ada 95.  Upward inconsistencies are situations in
          which a legal Ada 83 program is a legal Ada 95 program with
          different semantics.  This type of upward incompatibility is
          the worst type for users, so we only tolerate it in rare
          situations.

39.c
          (Note that the semantics of a program is not the same thing as
          the behavior of the program.  Because of Ada's indeterminacy,
          the "semantics" of a given feature describes a <set> of
          behaviors that can be exhibited by that feature.  The set can
          contain more than one allowed behavior.  Thus, when we ask
          whether the semantics changes, we are asking whether the set
          of behaviors changes.)

39.d/4
          This is not part of the definition of the language, and does
          not appear in the Ada 95, Ada 2005, or Ada 2012 RM.

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 83_

39.e
          This heading lists all of the upward incompatibilities between
          Ada 83 and Ada 95, except for the ones listed under
          "Inconsistencies With Ada 83" above.  These are the situations
          in which a legal Ada 83 program is illegal in Ada 95.  We do
          not generally consider a change that turns erroneous execution
          into an exception, or into an illegality, to be upwardly
          incompatible.

39.f/4
          This is not part of the definition of the language, and does
          not appear in the Ada 95, Ada 2005, or Ada 2012 RM.

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

39.g
          This heading is used to list all upward compatible language
          changes; that is, language extensions.  These are the
          situations in which a legal Ada 95 program is not a legal Ada
          83 program.  The vast majority of language changes fall into
          this category.

39.h/4
          This is not part of the definition of the language, and does
          not appear in the Ada 95, Ada 2005, or Ada 2012 RM.

39.i
           

          As explained above, the next heading does not represent any
          language change:

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

39.j/2
          This heading lists some of the nonsemantic changes between the
          Ada 83 RM and the Ada 95 RM. It is incomplete; we have not
          attempted to list all wording changes, but only the
          "interesting" ones.

39.k/4
          This is not part of the definition of the language, and does
          not appear in the Ada 95, Ada 2005, or Ada 2012 RM.

39.l/2
          Discussion:  

          The next three headings list all language changes between Ada
          95 and Ada 2005 (the language defined by the Ada 95 standard
          plus Technical Corrigendum 1 plus Amendment 1).  Each language
          change falls into one of the following three categories:

                     _Inconsistencies With Ada 95_

39.m/2
          This heading lists all of the upward inconsistencies between
          Ada 95 and Ada 2005.  Upward inconsistencies are situations in
          which a legal Ada 95 program is a legal Ada 2005 program with
          different semantics.

39.n/3
          {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} Inconsistencies marked with
          Corrigendum: are corrections to the original Ada 95 definition
          introduced by Corrigendum 1.  Inconsistencies marked with
          Amendment Correction: are corrections to the original Ada 95
          definition added by Amendment 1.  Formally, these are
          inconsistencies caused by Ada Issues classified as Binding
          Interpretations; implementations of Ada 95 are supposed to
          follow these corrections, not the original flawed language
          definition.  Thus, these strictly speaking are not
          inconsistencies between Ada 95 and Ada 2005.  Practically,
          however, they very well may be, as early Ada 95
          implementations might not follow the recommendation.
          Inconsistencies so marked are not portable between Ada 95
          implementations, while usually Ada 2005 will have more clearly
          defined behavior.  Therefore, we document these for
          completeness.

39.o/4
          This is not part of the definition of the language, and does
          not appear in the Ada 2005 or Ada 2012 RM.

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 95_

39.p/2
          This heading lists all of the upward incompatibilities between
          Ada 95 and Ada 2005, except for the ones listed under
          "Inconsistencies With Ada 95" above.  These are the situations
          in which a legal Ada 95 program is illegal in Ada 2005.

39.q/3
          {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} As with inconsistencies,
          incompatibilities marked with Corrigendum: are corrections to
          the original Ada 95 definition introduced by Corrigendum 1.
          Incompatibilities marked with Amendment Correction: are
          corrections to the original Ada 95 definition added by
          Amendment 1.  Formally, these are incompatibilities caused by
          Ada Issues classified as Binding Interpretations;
          implementations of Ada 95 are supposed to follow these

          Thus, these strictly speaking are not incompatibilities
          between Ada 95 and Ada 2005.  Practically, however, they very
          well may be, as early Ada 95 implementations might not follow
          the recommendation.  Therefore, some Ada 95 implementations
          may be able to compile the examples, while others might not.
          In contrast, Ada 2005 compilers will have consistent behavior.
          Therefore, we document these for completeness.

                        _Extensions to Ada 95_

39.s/2
          This heading is used to list all upward compatible language
          changes; that is, language extensions.  These are the
          situations in which a legal Ada 2005 program is not a legal
          Ada 95 program.  The vast majority of language changes fall
          into this category.

39.t/3
          {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} As with incompatibilities,
          extensions marked with Corrigendum: are corrections to the
          original Ada 95 definition introduced by Corrigendum 1.
          Extensions marked with Amendment Correction: are corrections
          to the original Ada 95 definition added by Amendment 1.
          Formally, these are extensions allowed by Ada Issues
          classified as Binding Interpretations.  As corrections,
          implementations of Ada 95 are allowed to implement these
          extensions.  Thus, these strictly speaking are not extensions
          of Ada 95; they're part of Ada 95.  Practically, however, they
          very well may be extensions, as early Ada 95 implementations
          might not implement the extension.  Therefore, some Ada 95
          implementations may be able to compile the examples, while
          others might not.  In contrast, Ada 2005 compilers will always
          support the extensions.  Therefore, we document these for
          completeness.

          Technical Corrigendum 1 plus Amendment 1) and Ada 2012 (the
          language defined by the third edition of the Standard).  Each
          language change falls into one of the following three
          categories:

                    _Inconsistencies With Ada 2005_

39.z/3
          This heading lists all of the upward inconsistencies between
          Ada 2005 and Ada 2012.  Upward inconsistencies are situations

          Inconsistencies marked with Correction: are corrections to the

39.gg/3
          As with incompatibilities, extensions marked with Correction:
          are corrections to the original Ada 2005 definition added by
          the third edition.  Formally, these are extensions allowed by
          Ada Issues classified as Binding Interpretations.  As
          corrections, implementations of Ada 2005 (and sometimes Ada
          95) are allowed to implement these extensions.  Thus, these
          strictly speaking are not extensions of Ada 2005; they're part
          of Ada 2005.  Practically, however, they very well may be
          extensions, as early Ada 2005 implementations might not

          changes; that is, language extensions.  These are the
          situations in which a legal current Ada 2012 program is not a
          legal original Ada 2012 program.  The vast majority of
          language changes fall into this category.

39.tt/4
          As with incompatibilities, extensions marked with Corrigendum:
          are corrections to the original Ada 2012 definition added by
          Corrigendum 1 to Ada 2012.  Formally, these are extensions
          allowed by Ada Issues classified as Binding Interpretations.
          As corrections, implementations of Ada 2012 (and sometimes Ada
          95) are allowed to implement these extensions.  Thus, these
          strictly speaking are not extensions of Ada 2012; they're part
          of Ada 2012.  Practically, however, they very well may be
          extensions, as early Ada 2012 implementations might not
          implement the extension.  Therefore, some Ada 2012
          implementations may be able to compile the examples, while
          others might not.  Therefore, we document these for
          completeness.

          This is not part of the definition of the language, and does
          not appear in any version of the Ada RM.

          As explained above, the next heading does not represent any
          language change:

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2012_

39.ww/4
          This heading lists some of the nonsemantic changes between the
          original and corrected Ada 2012 RM. This heading lists only
          "interesting" changes (for instance, editorial corrections are
          not listed).  Items marked Corrigendum: are included in
          Corrigendum 1 to Ada 2012.  These items come from Ada Issues
          classified as Binding Interpretations and strictly speaking
          belong to Ada 2012.

39.xx/4
          This is not part of the definition of the language, and does

1.1.3 Conformity of an Implementation with the Standard
-------------------------------------------------------

                     _Implementation Requirements_

1
A conforming implementation shall:

1.a
          Discussion: The <implementation> is the software and hardware
          that implements the language.  This includes compiler, linker,
          operating system, hardware, etc.

1.b
          We first define what it means to "conform" in general --
          basically, the implementation has to properly implement the
          normative rules given throughout the standard.  Then we define
          what it means to conform to a Specialized Needs Annex -- the
          implementation must support the core features plus the
          features of that Annex.  Finally, we define what it means to
          "conform to the Standard" -- this requires support for the
          core language, and allows partial (but not conflicting)
          support for the Specialized Needs Annexes.

2
   * Translate and correctly execute legal programs written in Ada,
     provided that they are not so large as to exceed the capacity of
     the implementation;

3
   * Identify all programs or program units that are so large as to
     exceed the capacity of the implementation (or raise an appropriate
     exception at run time);

3.a
          Implementation defined: Capacity limitations of the
          implementation.

4
   * Identify all programs or program units that contain errors whose
     detection is required by this International Standard;

4.a
          Discussion: Note that we no longer use the term "rejection" of
          programs or program units.  We require that programs or
          program units with errors or that exceed some capacity limit
          be "identified".  The way in which errors or capacity problems
          are reported is not specified.

4.b
          An implementation is allowed to use standard error-recovery
          techniques.  We do not disallow such techniques from being
          used across compilation_unit or compilation boundaries.

4.c
          See also the Implementation Requirements of *note 10.2::,
          which disallow the execution of illegal partitions.

5
   * Supply all language-defined library units required by this
     International Standard;

5.a
          Implementation Note: An implementation cannot add to or modify
          the visible part of a language-defined library unit, except
          where such permission is explicitly granted, unless such
          modifications are semantically neutral with respect to the
          client compilation units of the library unit.  An
          implementation defines the contents of the private part and
          body of language-defined library units.

5.b
          An implementation can add with_clauses and use_clauses, since
          these modifications are semantically neutral to clients.  (The
          implementation might need with_clauses in order to implement
          the private part, for example.)  Similarly, an implementation
          can add a private part even in cases where a private part is
          not shown in the standard.  Explicit declarations can be
          provided implicitly or by renaming, provided the changes are
          semantically neutral.

5.c
          Wherever in the standard the text of a language-defined
          library unit contains an italicized phrase starting with
          "<implementation-defined>", the implementation's version will
          replace that phrase with some implementation-defined text that
          is syntactically legal at that place, and follows any other
          applicable rules.

5.d
          Note that modifications are permitted, even if there are other
          tools in the environment that can detect the changes (such as
          a program library browser), so long as the modifications make
          no difference with respect to the static or dynamic semantics
          of the resulting programs, as defined by the standard.

6
   * Contain no variations except those explicitly permitted by this
     International Standard, or those that are impossible or impractical
     to avoid given the implementation's execution environment;

6.a
          Implementation defined: Variations from the standard that are
          impractical to avoid given the implementation's execution
          environment.

6.b
          Reason: The "impossible or impractical" wording comes from
          AI-325.  It takes some judgement and common sense to interpret
          this.  Restricting compilation units to less than 4 lines is
          probably unreasonable, whereas restricting them to less than 4
          billion lines is probably reasonable (at least given today's
          technology).  We do not know exactly where to draw the line,
          so we have to make the rule vague.

7
   * Specify all such variations in the manner prescribed by this
     International Standard.

8
The <external effect> of the execution of an Ada program is defined in
terms of its interactions with its external environment.  The following
are defined as <external interactions>:

9
   * Any interaction with an external file (see *note A.7::);

10
   * The execution of certain code_statements (see *note 13.8::); which
     code_statements cause external interactions is implementation
     defined.

10.a
          Implementation defined: Which code_statements cause external
          interactions.

11
   * Any call on an imported subprogram (see *note Annex B::), including
     any parameters passed to it;

12
   * Any result returned or exception propagated from a main subprogram
     (see *note 10.2::) or an exported subprogram (see *note Annex B::)
     to an external caller;

12.a
          Discussion: By "result returned" we mean to include function
          results and values returned in [in] out parameters.

12.a.1/1
          {<8652/00948652/0094>} {<AI95-00119-01AI95-00119-01>} The lack
          of a result from a program that does not terminate is also
          included here.

13
   * [Any read or update of an atomic or volatile object (see *note
     C.6::);]

14
   * The values of imported and exported objects (see *note Annex B::)
     at the time of any other interaction with the external environment.

14.a/3
          To be honest: {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} Also other uses of
          imported and exported entities, as defined by the
          implementation, if the implementation supports such importing
          or exporting.

15
A conforming implementation of this International Standard shall produce
for the execution of a given Ada program a set of interactions with the
external environment whose order and timing are consistent with the
definitions and requirements of this International Standard for the
semantics of the given program.

15.a
          Ramification: There is no need to produce any of the "internal
          effects" defined for the semantics of the program -- all of
          these can be optimized away -- so long as an appropriate
          sequence of external interactions is produced.

15.b
          Discussion: See also *note 11.6:: which specifies various
          liberties associated with optimizations in the presence of
          language-defined checks, that could change the external
          effects that might be produced.  These alternative external
          effects are still consistent with the standard, since *note
          11.6:: is part of the standard.

15.c
          Note also that we only require "<an appropriate> sequence of
          external interactions" rather than "<the same> sequence..."
          An optimizer may cause a different sequence of external
          interactions to be produced than would be produced without the
          optimizer, so long as the new sequence still satisfies the
          requirements of the standard.  For example, optimization might
          affect the relative rate of progress of two concurrent tasks,
          thereby altering the order in which two external interactions
          occur.

15.d/2
          Note that the Ada 83 RM explicitly mentions the case of an
          "exact effect" of a program, but since so few programs have
          their effects defined that exactly, we don't even mention this
          "special" case.  In particular, almost any program that uses
          floating point or tasking has to have some level of
          inexactness in the specification of its effects.  And if one
          includes aspects of the timing of the external interactions in
          the external effect of the program (as is appropriate for a
          real-time language), no "exact effect" can be specified.  For
          example, if two external interactions initiated by a single
          task are separated by a "delay 1.0;" then the language rules
          imply that the two external interactions have to be separated
          in time by at least one second, as defined by the clock
          associated with the delay_relative_statement.  This in turn
          implies that the time at which an external interaction occurs
          is part of the characterization of the external interaction,
          at least in some cases, again making the specification of the
          required "exact effect" impractical.

16
An implementation that conforms to this Standard shall support each
capability required by the core language as specified.  In addition, an
implementation that conforms to this Standard may conform to one or more
Specialized Needs Annexes (or to none).  Conformance to a Specialized
Needs Annex means that each capability required by the Annex is provided
as specified.

16.a
          Discussion: The last sentence defines what it means to say
          that an implementation conforms to a Specialized Needs Annex,
          namely, only by supporting all capabilities required by the
          Annex.

17/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} An implementation conforming to this
International Standard may provide additional aspects, attributes,
library units, and pragmas.  However, it shall not provide any aspect,
attribute, library unit, or pragma having the same name as an aspect,
attribute, library unit, or pragma (respectively) specified in a
Specialized Needs Annex unless the provided construct is either as
specified in the Specialized Needs Annex or is more limited in
capability than that required by the Annex.  A program that attempts to
use an unsupported capability of an Annex shall either be identified by
the implementation before run time or shall raise an exception at run
time.

17.a
          Discussion: The last sentence of the preceding paragraph
          defines what an implementation is allowed to do when it does
          not "conform" to a Specialized Needs Annex.  In particular,
          the sentence forbids implementations from providing a
          construct with the same name as a corresponding construct in a
          Specialized Needs Annex but with a different syntax (e.g., an
          extended syntax) or quite different semantics.  The phrase
          concerning "more limited in capability" is intended to give
          permission to provide a partial implementation, such as not
          implementing a subprogram in a package or having a restriction
          not permitted by an implementation that conforms to the Annex.
          For example, a partial implementation of the package
          Ada.Decimal might have Decimal.Max_Decimal_Digits as 15
          (rather than the required 18).  This allows a partial
          implementation to grow to a fully conforming implementation.

17.b
          A restricted implementation might be restricted by not
          providing some subprograms specified in one of the packages
          defined by an Annex.  In this case, a program that tries to
          use the missing subprogram will usually fail to compile.
          Alternatively, the implementation might declare the subprogram
          as abstract, so it cannot be called.  Alternatively, a
          subprogram body might be implemented just to raise
          Program_Error.  The advantage of this approach is that a
          program to be run under a fully conforming Annex
          implementation can be checked syntactically and semantically
          under an implementation that only partially supports the
          Annex.  Finally, an implementation might provide a package
          declaration without the corresponding body, so that programs
          can be compiled, but partitions cannot be built and executed.

17.c
          To ensure against wrong answers being delivered by a partial
          implementation, implementers are required to raise an
          exception when a program attempts to use an unsupported
          capability and this can be detected only at run time.  For
          example, a partial implementation of Ada.Decimal might require
          the length of the Currency string to be 1, and hence, an
          exception would be raised if a subprogram were called in the
          package Edited_Output with a length greater than 1.

                     _Documentation Requirements_

18
Certain aspects of the semantics are defined to be either
<implementation defined> or <unspecified>.  In such cases, the set of
possible effects is specified, and the implementation may choose any
effect in the set.  Implementations shall document their behavior in
implementation-defined situations, but documentation is not required for
unspecified situations.  The implementation-defined characteristics are
summarized in *note M.2::.

18.a
          Discussion: We used to use the term "implementation dependent"
          instead of "unspecified".  However, that sounded too much like
          "implementation defined".  Furthermore, the term "unspecified"
          is used in the ANSI C and POSIX standards for this purpose, so
          that is another advantage.  We also use "not specified" and
          "not specified by the language" as synonyms for "unspecified."
          The documentation requirement is the only difference between
          implementation defined and unspecified.

18.b
          Note that the "set of possible effects" can be "all imaginable
          effects", as is the case with erroneous execution.

19
The implementation may choose to document implementation-defined
behavior either by documenting what happens in general, or by providing
some mechanism for the user to determine what happens in a particular
case.

19.a
          Discussion: For example, if the standard says that library
          unit elaboration order is implementation defined, the
          implementation might describe (in its user's manual) the
          algorithm it uses to determine the elaboration order.  On the
          other hand, the implementation might provide a command that
          produces a description of the elaboration order for a
          partition upon request from the user.  It is also acceptable
          to provide cross references to existing documentation (for
          example, a hardware manual), where appropriate.

19.b
          Note that dependence of a program on implementation-defined or
          unspecified functionality is not defined to be an error; it
          might cause the program to be less portable, however.

19.c/2
          Documentation Requirement: The behavior of implementations in
          implementation-defined situations shall be documented -- see
          *note M.2::, "*note M.2:: Implementation-Defined
          Characteristics" for a listing.

                        _Implementation Advice_

20
If an implementation detects the use of an unsupported Specialized Needs
Annex feature at run time, it should raise Program_Error if feasible.

20.a.1/2
          Implementation Advice: Program_Error should be raised when an
          unsupported Specialized Needs Annex feature is used at run
          time.

20.a
          Reason: The reason we don't <require> Program_Error is that
          there are situations where other exceptions might make sense.
          For example, if the Real Time Systems Annex requires that the
          range of System.Priority include at least 30 values, an
          implementation could conform to the Standard (but not to the
          Annex) if it supported only 12 values.  Since the rules of the
          language require Constraint_Error to be raised for
          out-of-range values, we cannot require Program_Error to be
          raised instead.

21
If an implementation wishes to provide implementation-defined extensions
to the functionality of a language-defined library unit, it should
normally do so by adding children to the library unit.

21.a.1/2
          Implementation Advice: Implementation-defined extensions to
          the functionality of a language-defined library unit should be
          provided by adding children to the library unit.

21.a
          Implementation Note: If an implementation has support code
          ("run-time system code") that is needed for the execution of
          user-defined code, it can put that support code in child
          packages of System.  Otherwise, it has to use some trick to
          avoid polluting the user's namespace.  It is important that
          such tricks not be available to user-defined code (not in the
          standard mode, at least) -- that would defeat the purpose.

     NOTES

22
     2  The above requirements imply that an implementation conforming
     to this Standard may support some of the capabilities required by a
     Specialized Needs Annex without supporting all required
     capabilities.

22.a
          Discussion: A conforming implementation can partially support
          a Specialized Needs Annex.  Such an implementation does not
          conform to the Annex, but it does conform to the Standard.

1.1.4 Method of Description and Syntax Notation
-----------------------------------------------

1
The form of an Ada program is described by means of a context-free
syntax together with context-dependent requirements expressed by
narrative rules.

2
The meaning of Ada programs is described by means of narrative rules
defining both the effects of each construct and the composition rules
for constructs.

3
The context-free syntax of the language is described using a simple
variant of Backus-Naur Form.  In particular:

4
   * Lower case words in a sans-serif font, some containing embedded
     underlines, are used to denote syntactic categories, for example:

5
          case_statement

6
   * Boldface words are used to denote reserved words, for example:

7
          array

8
   * Square brackets enclose optional items.  Thus the two following
     rules are equivalent.

9/2
          {<AI95-00433-01AI95-00433-01>}
          simple_return_statement ::= return [expression];
          simple_return_statement ::= return; | return expression;

10
   * Curly brackets enclose a repeated item.  The item may appear zero
     or more times; the repetitions occur from left to right as with an
     equivalent left-recursive rule.  Thus the two following rules are
     equivalent.

11
          term ::= factor {multiplying_operator factor}
          term ::= factor | term multiplying_operator factor

12
   * A vertical line separates alternative items unless it occurs
     immediately after an opening curly bracket, in which case it stands
     for itself:

13
          constraint ::= scalar_constraint | composite_constraint
          discrete_choice_list ::= discrete_choice {| discrete_choice}

14
   * If the name of any syntactic category starts with an italicized
     part, it is equivalent to the category name without the italicized
     part.  The italicized part is intended to convey some semantic
     information.  For example <subtype_>name and <task_>name are both
     equivalent to name alone.

14.a
          Discussion: The grammar given in this International Standard
          is not LR(1).  In fact, it is ambiguous; the ambiguities are
          resolved by the overload resolution rules (see *note 8.6::).

14.b
          We often use "if" to mean "if and only if" in definitions.
          For example, if we define "photogenic" by saying, "A type is
          photogenic if it has the following properties...," we mean
          that a type is photogenic if <and only if> it has those
          properties.  It is usually clear from the context, and adding
          the "and only if" seems too cumbersome.

14.c
          When we say, for example, "a declarative_item of a
          declarative_part", we are talking about a declarative_item
          immediately within that declarative_part.  When we say "a
          declarative_item in, or within, a declarative_part", we are
          talking about a declarative_item anywhere in the
          declarative_part, possibly deeply nested within other
          declarative_parts.  (This notation doesn't work very well for
          names, since the name "of" something also has another
          meaning.)

14.d
          When we refer to the name of a language-defined entity (for
          example, Duration), we mean the language-defined entity even
          in programs where the declaration of the language-defined
          entity is hidden by another declaration.  For example, when we
          say that the expected type for the expression of a
          delay_relative_statement is Duration, we mean the
          language-defined type Duration that is declared in Standard,
          not some type Duration the user might have declared.

{<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} The delimiters, compound delimiters, reserved
words, and numeric_literals are exclusively made of the characters whose
code point is between 16#20# and 16#7E#, inclusively.  The special
characters for which names are defined in this International Standard
(see *note 2.1::) belong to the same range.  [For example, the character
E in the definition of exponent is the character whose name is "LATIN
CAPITAL LETTER E", not "GREEK CAPITAL LETTER EPSILON".]

14.e/2
          Discussion: This just means that programs can be written in
          plain ASCII characters; no characters outside of the 7-bit
          range are required.

{<AI95-00395-01AI95-00395-01>} {<AI05-0227-1AI05-0227-1>}
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} When this International Standard mentions the
conversion of some character or sequence of characters to upper case, it
means the character or sequence of characters obtained by using simple
upper case mapping, as defined by documents referenced in the note in
Clause 1 of ISO/IEC 10646:2011.

14.e.1/3
          <This paragraph was deleted.>

15
A <syntactic category> is a nonterminal in the grammar defined in BNF
under "Syntax."  Names of syntactic categories are set in a different
font, like_this.

16
A <construct> is a piece of text (explicit or implicit) that is an
instance of a syntactic category defined under "Syntax".

16.a
          Ramification: For example, an expression is a construct.  A
          declaration is a construct, whereas the thing declared by a
          declaration is an "entity."

16.b
          Discussion: "Explicit" and "implicit" don't mean exactly what
          you might think they mean: The text of an instance of a
          generic is considered explicit, even though it does not appear
          explicitly (in the nontechnical sense) in the program text,
          and even though its meaning is not defined entirely in terms
          of that text.

17
A <constituent> of a construct is the construct itself, or any construct
appearing within it.

18
Whenever the run-time semantics defines certain actions to happen in an
<arbitrary order>, this means that the implementation shall arrange for
these actions to occur in a way that is equivalent to some sequential
order, following the rules that result from that sequential order.  When
evaluations are defined to happen in an arbitrary order, with conversion
of the results to some subtypes, or with some run-time checks, the
evaluations, conversions, and checks may be arbitrarily interspersed, so
long as each expression is evaluated before converting or checking its
value.  [Note that the effect of a program can depend on the order
chosen by the implementation.  This can happen, for example, if two
actual parameters of a given call have side effects.]

18.a
          Discussion: Programs will be more portable if their external
          effect does not depend on the particular order chosen by an
          implementation.

18.b
          Ramification: Additional reordering permissions are given in
          *note 11.6::, "*note 11.6:: Exceptions and Optimization".

18.c
          There is no requirement that the implementation always choose
          the same order in a given kind of situation.  In fact, the
          implementation is allowed to choose a different order for two
          different executions of the same construct.  However, we
          expect most implementations will behave in a relatively
          predictable manner in most situations.

18.d
          Reason: The "sequential order" wording is intended to allow
          the programmer to rely on "benign" side effects.  For example,
          if F is a function that returns a unique integer by
          incrementing some global and returning the result, a call such
          as P(F, F) is OK if the programmer cares only that the two
          results of F are unique; the two calls of F cannot be executed
          in parallel, unless the compiler can prove that parallel
          execution is equivalent to some sequential order.

     NOTES

19
     3  The syntax rules describing structured constructs are presented
     in a form that corresponds to the recommended paragraphing.  For
     example, an if_statement is defined as:

20
          if_statement ::=
              if condition then
                sequence_of_statements
             {elsif condition then
                sequence_of_statements}
             [else
                sequence_of_statements]
              end if;

21
     4  The line breaks and indentation in the syntax rules indicate the
     recommended line breaks and indentation in the corresponding
     constructs.  The preferred places for other line breaks are after
     semicolons.

21.a/2
          {<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} We now explicitly say that the
          lexical elements of the language (with a few exceptions) are
          made up of characters in the lower half of the Latin-1
          character set.  This is needed to avoid confusion given the
          new capability to use most ISO 10646 characters in identifiers
          and strings.

21.b/2
          {<AI95-00395-01AI95-00395-01>} We now explicitly define what
          the Standard means by upper case, as there are many
          possibilities for ISO 10646 characters.

21.c/2
          {<AI95-00433-01AI95-00433-01>} The example for square brackets
          has been changed as there is no longer a return_statement
          syntax rule.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

21.d/3
          {<AI05-0227-1AI05-0227-1>} Correction: Upper case is defined
          by "simple upper case mapping", because "full case folding" is
          a mapping (mostly) to lower case.

1.1.5 Classification of Errors
------------------------------

                     _Implementation Requirements_

1
The language definition classifies errors into several different
categories:

2
   * Errors that are required to be detected prior to run time by every
     Ada implementation;

3
     These errors correspond to any violation of a rule given in this
     International Standard, other than those listed below.  In
     particular, violation of any rule that uses the terms shall,
     allowed, permitted, legal, or illegal belongs to this category.
     Any program that contains such an error is not a legal Ada program;
     on the other hand, the fact that a program is legal does not mean,
     <per se>, that the program is free from other forms of error.

4
     The rules are further classified as either compile time rules, or
     post compilation rules, depending on whether a violation has to be
     detected at the time a compilation unit is submitted to the
     compiler, or may be postponed until the time a compilation unit is
     incorporated into a partition of a program.

4.a
          Ramification: See, for example, *note 10.1.3::, "*note
          10.1.3:: Subunits of Compilation Units", for some errors that
          are detected only after compilation.  Implementations are
          allowed, but not required, to detect post compilation rules at
          compile time when possible.

5
   * Errors that are required to be detected at run time by the
     execution of an Ada program;

6
     The corresponding error situations are associated with the names of
     the predefined exceptions.  Every Ada compiler is required to
     generate code that raises the corresponding exception if such an
     error situation arises during program execution.  [If such an error
     situation is certain to arise in every execution of a construct,
     then an implementation is allowed (although not required) to report
     this fact at compilation time.]

7
   * Bounded errors;

8
     The language rules define certain kinds of errors that need not be
     detected either prior to or during run time, but if not detected,
     the range of possible effects shall be bounded.  The errors of this
     category are called <bounded errors>.  The possible effects of a
     given bounded error are specified for each such error, but in any
     case one possible effect of a bounded error is the raising of the
     exception Program_Error.

9
   * Erroneous execution.

10
     In addition to bounded errors, the language rules define certain
     kinds of errors as leading to <erroneous execution>.  Like bounded
     errors, the implementation need not detect such errors either prior
     to or during run time.  Unlike bounded errors, there is no
     language-specified bound on the possible effect of erroneous
     execution; the effect is in general not predictable.

10.a
          Ramification: Executions are erroneous, not programs or parts
          of programs.  Once something erroneous happens, the execution
          of the entire program is erroneous from that point on, and
          potentially before given possible reorderings permitted by
          *note 11.6:: and elsewhere.  We cannot limit it to just one
          partition, since partitions are not required to live in
          separate address spaces.  (But implementations are encouraged
          to limit it as much as possible.)

10.b
          Suppose a program contains a pair of things that will be
          executed "in an arbitrary order."  It is possible that one
          order will result in something sensible, whereas the other
          order will result in erroneous execution.  If the
          implementation happens to choose the first order, then the
          execution is not erroneous.  This may seem odd, but it is not
          harmful.

10.c
          Saying that something is erroneous is semantically equivalent
          to saying that the behavior is unspecified.  However,
          "erroneous" has a slightly more disapproving flavor.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

11
[ An implementation may provide <nonstandard modes> of operation.
Typically these modes would be selected by a pragma or by a command line
switch when the compiler is invoked.  When operating in a nonstandard
mode, the implementation may reject compilation_units that do not
conform to additional requirements associated with the mode, such as an
excessive number of warnings or violation of coding style guidelines.
Similarly, in a nonstandard mode, the implementation may apply special
optimizations or alternative algorithms that are only meaningful for
programs that satisfy certain criteria specified by the implementation.In any case, an implementation shall support a <standard> mode that
conforms to the requirements of this International Standard; in
particular, in the standard mode, all legal compilation_units shall be
accepted.]

11.a
          Discussion: These permissions are designed to authorize
          explicitly the support for alternative modes.  Of course,
          nothing we say can prevent them anyway, but this (redundant)
          paragraph is designed to indicate that such alternative modes
          are in some sense "approved" and even encouraged where they
          serve the specialized needs of a given user community, so long
          as the standard mode, designed to foster maximum portability,
          is always available.

                        _Implementation Advice_

12
If an implementation detects a bounded error or erroneous execution, it
should raise Program_Error.

12.a.1/2
          Implementation Advice: If a bounded error or erroneous
          execution is detected, Program_Error should be raised.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

12.a
          Some situations that are erroneous in Ada 83 are no longer
          errors at all.  For example, depending on the parameter
          passing mechanism when unspecified is possibly nonportable,
          but not erroneous.

12.b
          Other situations that are erroneous in Ada 83 are changed to
          be bounded errors.  In particular, evaluating an uninitialized
          scalar variable is a bounded error.  The possible results are
          to raise Program_Error (as always), or to produce a
          machine-representable value (which might not be in the subtype
          of the variable).  Violating a Range_Check or Overflow_Check
          raises Constraint_Error, even if the value came from an
          uninitialized variable.  This means that optimizers can no
          longer "assume" that all variables are initialized within
          their subtype's range.  Violating a check that is suppressed
          remains erroneous.

12.c
          The "incorrect order dependences" category of errors is
          removed.  All such situations are simply considered potential
          nonportabilities.  This category was removed due to the
          difficulty of defining what it means for two executions to
          have a "different effect."  For example, if a function with a
          side effect is called twice in a single expression, it is not
          in principle possible for the compiler to decide whether the
          correctness of the resulting program depends on the order of
          execution of the two function calls.  A compile time warning
          might be appropriate, but raising of Program_Error at run time
          would not be.

          An Ada Issue (AI) is a numbered ruling from the ARG. Ada
          Issues created for Ada 83 are denoted as "AI83", while Ada
          Issues created for Ada 95 are denoted as "AI95" in this
          document.  Similarly, Ada Issues created for Ada 2005 are
          denoted as "AI05" The Ada Commentary Integration Document
          (ACID) is an edition of the Ada 83 RM in which clearly marked
          insertions and deletions indicate the effect of integrating
          the approved AIs.  The Uniformity Rapporteur Group (URG)
          issued recommendations intended to increase uniformity across
          Ada implementations.  The functions of the URG have been
          assumed by the ARG. A Uniformity Issue (UI) was a numbered
          recommendation from the URG. A Defect Report and Response is
          an official query to WG9 about an error in the standard.
          Defect Reports are processed by the ARG, and are referenced
          here by their ISO numbers: 8652/nnnn.  Most changes to the Ada
          95 standard include reference(s) to the Defect Report(s) that
          prompted the change.  The <Ada Conformity Assessment Test
          Suite (ACATS)> is a set of tests intended to check the
          conformity of Ada implementations to this standard.  This set
          of tests was previously known as the Ada Compiler Validation
          Capability (ACVC).

     {<AI05-0266-1AI05-0266-1>} A character is defined by this
     International Standard for each cell in the coding space described
     by ISO/IEC 10646:2011, regardless of whether or not ISO/IEC

{<AI05-0266-1AI05-0266-1>} The coded representation for characters is
implementation defined [(it need not be a representation defined within
ISO/IEC 10646:2011)].  A character whose relative code point in its
plane is 16#FFFE# or 16#FFFF# is not allowed anywhere in the text of a
program.  The only characters allowed outside of comments are those in
categories other_format, format_effector, and graphic_character.

          Ramification: {<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} Note that this
          rule doesn't really have much force, since the implementation
          can represent characters in the source in any way it sees fit.
          For example, an implementation could simply define that what
          seems to be an other_private_use character is actually a
          representation of the space character.

this International Standard uses the character properties General
Category, Simple Uppercase Mapping, Uppercase Mapping, and Special Case
Condition of the documents referenced by the note in Clause 1 of ISO/IEC

          character classification considers that the cells not
          allocated in ISO/IEC 10646:2011 are graphic characters, except
          for those whose relative code point in their plane is 16#FFFE#
          or 16#FFFF#.  This seems to provide the best compatibility
          with future versions of ISO/IEC 10646, as future characters
          can already be used in Ada character and string literals.

14.b/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} We considered
          basing the definition of lexical elements on Annex A of
          ISO/IEC TR 10176 (4th edition), which lists the characters
          which should be supported in identifiers for all programming
          languages, but we finally decided against this option.  Note
          that it is not our intent to diverge from ISO/IEC TR 10176,
          except to the extent that ISO/IEC TR 10176 itself diverges
          from ISO/IEC 10646:2003 (which is the case at the time of this
          writing [January 2005]).

14.c/2
          More precisely, we intend to align strictly with ISO/IEC
          10646:2003.  It must be noted that ISO/IEC TR 10176 is a
          Technical Report while ISO/IEC 10646:2003 is a Standard.  If
          one has to make a choice, one should conform with the Standard
          rather than with the Technical Report.  And, it turns out that
          one <must> make a choice because there are important
          differences between the two:

14.d/2
             * ISO/IEC TR 10176 is still based on ISO/IEC 10646:2000
               while ISO/IEC 10646:2003 has already been published for a
               year.  We cannot afford to delay the adoption of our
               amendment until ISO/IEC TR 10176 has been revised.

14.e/2
             * There are considerable differences between the two
               editions of ISO/IEC 10646, notably in supporting
               characters beyond the BMP (this might be significant for
               some languages, e.g.  Korean).

14.f/2
             * ISO/IEC TR 10176 does not define case conversion tables,
               which are essential for a case-insensitive language like
               Ada.  To get case conversion tables, we would have to
               reference either ISO/IEC 10646:2003 or Unicode, or we
               would have to invent our own.

14.g/2
          For the purpose of defining the lexical elements of the
          language, we need character properties like categorization, as
          well as case conversion tables.  These are mentioned in
          ISO/IEC 10646:2003 as useful for implementations, with a
          reference to Unicode.  Machine-readable tables are available
          on the web at URLs:

14.k/2
          The actual text of the standard only makes specific references
          to the corresponding clauses of ISO/IEC 10646:2003, not to

15/3
{<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} {<AI05-0266-1AI05-0266-1>} The following

that given in ISO/IEC 10646:2011): 

15.a/3
          Discussion: {<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>}
          {<AI05-0266-1AI05-0266-1>} This table serves to show the
          correspondence between ISO/IEC 10646:2011 names and the
          graphic symbols (glyphs) used in this International Standard.
          These are the characters that play a special role in the
          syntax of Ada.

         .         full stop, dot, point

                     _Implementation Requirements_

16/3
{<AI05-0286-1AI05-0286-1>} An Ada implementation shall accept Ada source
code in UTF-8 encoding, with or without a BOM (see *note A.4.11::),
where every character is represented by its code point.  The character
pair CARRIAGE RETURN/LINE FEED (code points 16#0D# 16#0A#) signifies a
single end of line (see *note 2.2::); every other occurrence of a
format_effector other than the character whose code point position is
16#09# (CHARACTER TABULATION) also signifies a single end of line.

16.a/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0079-1AI05-0079-1>} {<AI05-0286-1AI05-0286-1>}
          This is simply requiring that an Ada implementation be able to
          directly process the ACATS, which is provided in the described
          format.  Note that files that only contain characters with
          code points in the first 128 (which is the majority of the
          ACATS) are represented in the same way in both UTF-8 and in
          "plain" string format.  The ACATS includes a BOM in files that
          have any characters with code points greater than 127.  Note
          that the BOM contains characters not legal in Ada source code,
          so an implementation can use that to automatically distinguish
          between files formatted as plain Latin-1 strings and UTF-8
          with BOM.

16.b/3
          We allow line endings to be both represented as the pair CR LF
          (as in Windows and the ACATS), and as single format_effector
          characters (usually LF, as in Linux), in order that files
          created by standard tools on most operating systems will meet
          the standard format.  We specify how many line endings each
          represent so that compilers use the same line numbering for
          standard source files.

16.c/3
          This requirement increases portability by having a format that
          is accepted by all Ada compilers.  Note that implementations
          can support other source representations, including structured
          representations like a parse tree.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

17/3
{<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} {<AI05-0266-1AI05-0266-1>} The categories
defined above, as well as case mapping and folding, may be based on an
implementation-defined version of ISO/IEC 10646 (2003 edition or later).

17.b/3
          Ramification: The exact categories, case mapping, and case
          folding chosen affects identifiers, the result of
          '[[Wide_]Wide_]Image, and packages Wide_Characters.Handling
          and Wide_Wide_Characters.Handling.

17.c/3
          Discussion: This permission allows implementations to upgrade
          to using a newer character set standard whenever that makes
          sense, rather than having to wait for the next Ada Standard.
          But the character set standard used cannot be older than
          ISO/IEC 10646:2003 (which is essentially similar to Unicode
          4.0).

     NOTES

18/2
     1  {<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} The characters in categories
     other_control, other_private_use, and other_surrogate are only
     allowed in comments.

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

19.b
          Ada 95 allows 8-bit and 16-bit characters, as well as
          implementation-specified character sets.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

19.c/3
          {<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} The
          syntax rules in this subclause are modified to remove the
          emphasis on basic characters vs.  others.  (In this day and
          age, there is no need to point out that you can write programs
          without using (for example) lower case letters.)  In
          particular, character (representing all characters usable
          outside comments) is added, and basic_graphic_character,
          other_special_character, and basic_character are removed.
          Special_character is expanded to include Ada 83's
          other_special_character, as well as new 8-bit characters not
          present in Ada 83.  Ada 2005 removes special_character
          altogether; we want to stick to ISO/IEC 10646:2003 character
          classifications.  Note that the term "basic letter" is used in
          *note A.3::, "*note A.3:: Character Handling" to refer to
          letters without diacritical marks.

19.d/2
          {<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} Character names now come from
          ISO/IEC 10646:2003.

          Program text can use most characters defined by
          ISO-10646:2003.  This subclause has been rewritten to use the
          categories defined in that Standard.  This should ease
          programming in languages other than English.

19.g/3
          {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} {<AI05-0266-1AI05-0266-1>} An
          implementation is allowed (but not required) to use a newer
          character set standard to determine the categories, case
          mapping, and case folding.  Doing so will change the results
          of attributes '[[Wide_]Wide_]Image and the packages
          [Wide_]Wide_Characters.Handling in the case of a few rarely
          used characters.  (This also could make some identifiers
          illegal, for characters that are no longer classified as
          letters.)  This is unlikely to be a problem in practice.
          Moreover, truly portable Ada 2012 programs should avoid using
          in these contexts any characters that would have different
          classifications in any character set standards issued since
          10646:2003 (since the compiler can use any such standard as
          the basis for its classifications).

19.h/3
          {<AI05-0079-1AI05-0079-1>} Correction: Clarified that only
          characters in the categories defined here are allowed in the
          source of an Ada program.  This was clear in Ada 95, but
          Amendment 1 dropped the wording instead of correcting it.

19.i/3
          {<AI05-0286-1AI05-0286-1>} A standard source representation is
          defined that all compilers are expected to process.  Since
          this is the same format as the ACATS, it seems unlikely that
          there are any implementations that don't meet this
          requirement.  Moreover, other representations are still
          permitted, and the "impossible or impractical" loophole (see
          *note 1.1.3::) can be invoked for any implementations that
          cannot directly process the ACATS.

2.2 Lexical Elements, Separators, and Delimiters
================================================

                          _Static Semantics_

1
The text of a program consists of the texts of one or more compilations.
The text of each compilation is a sequence of separate <lexical
elements>.  Each lexical element is formed from a sequence of
characters, and is either a delimiter, an identifier, a reserved word, a
numeric_literal, a character_literal, a string_literal, or a comment.
The meaning of a program depends only on the particular sequences of
lexical elements that form its compilations, excluding comments.

2/3
{<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} The text of a
compilation is divided into <lines>.  In general, the representation for
an end of line is implementation defined.  However, a sequence of one or
more format_effectors other than the character whose code point is
16#09# (CHARACTER TABULATION) signifies at least one end of line.

2.a
          Implementation defined: The representation for an end of line.

3/2
{<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} [In some cases an explicit <separator> is
required to separate adjacent lexical elements.]  A separator is any of
a separator_space, a format_effector, or the end of a line, as follows:

4/2
   * {<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} A separator_space is a separator
     except within a comment, a string_literal, or a character_literal.

5/3
   * {<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} The
     character whose code point is 16#09# (CHARACTER TABULATION) is a
     separator except within a comment.

6
   * The end of a line is always a separator.

7
One or more separators are allowed between any two adjacent lexical
elements, before the first of each compilation, or after the last.  At
least one separator is required between an identifier, a reserved word,
or a numeric_literal and an adjacent identifier, reserved word, or
numeric_literal.

7.1/3
{<AI05-0079-1AI05-0079-1>} One or more other_format characters are
allowed anywhere that a separator is[; any such characters have no
effect on the meaning of an Ada program].

8/2
{<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} A <delimiter> is either one of the
following characters:

9
     &    '    (    )    *    +    ,    -    .    /    :    ;    <    =    >    |

10
or one of the following <compound delimiters> each composed of two
adjacent special characters

11
     =>    ..    **    :=    /=    >=    <=    <<    >>    <>

12
Each of the special characters listed for single character delimiters is
a single delimiter except if this character is used as a character of a
compound delimiter, or as a character of a comment, string_literal,
character_literal, or numeric_literal.

13
The following names are used when referring to compound delimiters:

delimiter    name
----------------------------------------------------
=>           arrow
..           double dot
**           double star, exponentiate
:=           assignment (pronounced: "becomes")
/=           inequality (pronounced: "not equal")
>=           greater than or equal
<=           less than or equal
<<           left label bracket
>>           right label bracket
<>           box
                     _Implementation Requirements_

14
An implementation shall support lines of at least 200 characters in
length, not counting any characters used to signify the end of a line.
An implementation shall support lexical elements of at least 200
characters in length.  The maximum supported line length and lexical
element length are implementation defined.

14.a
          Implementation defined: Maximum supported line length and
          lexical element length.

14.b

14.d/3
          {<AI05-0079-1AI05-0079-1>} Correction: Clarified that
          other_format characters are allowed anywhere that separators
          are allowed.  This was intended in Ada 2005, but didn't
          actually make it into the wording.

2.3 Identifiers
===============

1
Identifiers are used as names.

          mark_non_spacing
        | mark_spacing_combining
        | number_decimal
        | punctuation_connector

4/3
     {<AI95-00395-01AI95-00395-01>} {<AI05-0091-1AI05-0091-1>} An
     identifier shall not contain two consecutive characters in category
     punctuation_connector, or end with a character in that category.

4.a/3
          Reason: This rule was stated in the syntax in Ada 95, but that
          has gotten too complex in Ada 2005.

                          _Static Semantics_

5/3
{<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} {<AI05-0091-1AI05-0091-1>}
{<AI05-0227-1AI05-0227-1>} {<AI05-0266-1AI05-0266-1>}
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} Two identifiers are considered the same if
they consist of the same sequence of characters after applying
locale-independent simple case folding, as defined by documents
referenced in the note in Clause 1 of ISO/IEC 10646:2011.

5.a/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0227-1AI05-0227-1>} Simple case folding is
          a mapping to lower case, so this is matching the defining
          (lower case) version of a reserved word.  We could have
          mentioned case folding of the reserved words, but as that is
          an identity function, it would have no effect.

5.a.1/3
          {<AI05-0227-1AI05-0227-1>} The "documents referenced" means
          Unicode.  Note that simple case folding is supposed to be
          compatible between Unicode versions, so the Unicode version
          used doesn't matter.

5.3/3
{<AI95-00395-01AI95-00395-01>} {<AI05-0091-1AI05-0091-1>}
{<AI05-0227-1AI05-0227-1>} After applying simple case folding, an
identifier shall not be identical to a reserved word.

5.b/3
          Implementation Note: We match the reserved words after
          applying case folding so that the rules for identifiers and
          reserved words are the same.  Since a compiler usually will
          lexically process identifiers and reserved words the same way
          (often with the same code), this will prevent a lot of
          headaches.

5.c/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0227-1AI05-0227-1>} The rules for
          reserved words differ in one way: they define case conversion
          on letters rather than sequences.  This means that it is
          possible that there exist some unusual sequences that are
          neither identifiers nor reserved words.  We are not aware of
          any such sequences so long as we use simple case folding (as
          opposed to full case folding), but we have defined the rules
          in case any are introduced in future character set standards.
          This originally was a problem when converting to upper case:
          "if" and "acceß" have upper case conversions of "IF" and
          "ACCESS" respectively.  We would not want these to be treated
          as reserved words.  But neither of these cases exist when
          using simple case folding.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

6
In a nonstandard mode, an implementation may support other upper/lower
case equivalence rules for identifiers[, to accommodate local
conventions].

6.a/3
          Discussion: {<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>}
          {<AI05-0227-1AI05-0227-1>} For instance, in most languages,
          the simple case folded equivalent of LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I
          (an upper case letter without a dot above) is LATIN SMALL
          LETTER I (a lower case letter with a dot above).  In Turkish,
          though, LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I and LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I WITH
          DOT ABOVE are two distinct letters, so the case folded
          equivalent of LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I is LATIN SMALL LETTER
          DOTLESS I, and the case folded equivalent of LATIN CAPITAL
          LETTER I WITH DOT ABOVE is LATIN SMALL LETTER I. Take for
          instance the following identifier (which is the name of a city
          on the Tigris river in Eastern Anatolia):

6.b/3
               DIYARBAKIR -- <The first i is dotted, the second isn't.>

6.c/3
          A Turkish reader would expect that the above identifier is
          equivalent to:

6.d/3
               diyarbakir

6.d.1/3
          However, locale-independent simple case folding (and thus Ada)
          maps this to:

6.d.2/3
               dIyarbakir

6.e/3
          which is different from any of the following identifiers:

6.f/2
               diyarbakir
               diyarbakir
               diyarbakir
               diyarbakir

6.f.1/3
          including the "correct" matching identifier for Turkish.
          Upper case conversion (used in '[Wide_]Wide_Image) introduces
          additional problems.

6.g/3
          An implementation targeting the Turkish market is allowed (in
          fact, expected) to provide a nonstandard mode where case
          folding is appropriate for Turkish.

6.j/2
          Lithuanian and Azeri are two other languages that present
          similar idiosyncrasies.

     NOTES

6.1/2
     2  {<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} Identifiers differing only in the
     use of corresponding upper and lower case letters are considered
     the same.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

8.a
          We no longer include reserved words as identifiers.  This is
          not a language change.  In Ada 83, identifier included
          reserved words.  However, this complicated several other rules
          (for example, regarding implementation-defined attributes and
          pragmas, etc.).  We now explicitly allow certain reserved
          words for attribute designators, to make up for the loss.

8.b
          Ramification: Because syntax rules are relevant to overload
          resolution, it means that if it looks like a reserved word, it
          is not an identifier.  As a side effect, implementations
          cannot use reserved words as implementation-defined attributes
          or pragma names.

                        _Extensions to Ada 95_

8.c/2
          {<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} An identifier can use any
          letter defined by ISO-10646:2003, along with several other
          categories.  This should ease programming in languages other
          than English.

                   _Incompatibilities With Ada 2005_

8.d/3
          {<AI05-0091-1AI05-0091-1>} Correction: other_format characters
          were removed from identifiers as the Unicode recommendations
          have changed.  This change can only affect programs written
          for the original Ada 2005, so there should be few such
          programs.

8.e/3
          {<AI05-0227-1AI05-0227-1>} Correction: We now specify simple
          case folding rather than full case folding.  That potentially
          could change identifier equivalence, although it is more
          likely that identifiers that are considered the same in
          original Ada 2005 will now be considered different.  This
          change was made because the original Ada 2005 definition was
          incompatible (and even inconsistent in unusual cases) with the
          Ada 95 identifier equivalence rules.  As such, the Ada 2005
          rules were rarely fully implemented, and in any case, only Ada
          2005 identifiers containing wide characters could be affected.

2.4 Numeric Literals
====================

1
There are two kinds of numeric_literals, <real literals> and <integer
literals>.  A real literal is a numeric_literal that includes a point;
an integer literal is a numeric_literal without a point.

2.4.1 Decimal Literals
----------------------

1
A decimal_literal is a numeric_literal in the conventional decimal
notation (that is, the base is ten).

                               _Syntax_

2
     decimal_literal ::= numeral [.numeral] [exponent]

3
     numeral ::= digit {[underline] digit}

4
     exponent ::= E [+] numeral | E - numeral

4.1/2
     {<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} digit ::=
     0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9

5
     An exponent for an integer literal shall not have a minus sign.

5.a
          Ramification: Although this rule is in this subclause, it
          applies also to the next subclause.

                          _Static Semantics_

6
An underline character in a numeric_literal does not affect its meaning.
The letter E of an exponent can be written either in lower case or in
upper case, with the same meaning.

6.a
          Ramification: Although these rules are in this subclause, they
          apply also to the next subclause.

7
An exponent indicates the power of ten by which the value of the
decimal_literal without the exponent is to be multiplied to obtain the
value of the decimal_literal with the exponent.

                              _Examples_

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

9.a
          We have changed the syntactic category name integer to be
          numeral.  We got this idea from ACID. It avoids the confusion
          between this and integers.  (Other places don't offer similar
          confusions.  For example, a string_literal is different from a
          string.)

2.4.2 Based Literals
--------------------

1
[ A based_literal is a numeric_literal expressed in a form that
specifies the base explicitly.]

                               _Syntax_

2
     based_literal ::=
        base # based_numeral [.based_numeral] # [exponent]

3
     base ::= numeral

4
     based_numeral ::=
        extended_digit {[underline] extended_digit}

5
     extended_digit ::= digit | A | B | C | D | E | F

                           _Legality Rules_

6
The <base> (the numeric value of the decimal numeral preceding the first
#) shall be at least two and at most sixteen.  The extended_digits A
through F represent the digits ten through fifteen, respectively.  The
value of each extended_digit of a based_literal shall be less than the
base.

                          _Static Semantics_

7
The conventional meaning of based notation is assumed.  An exponent
indicates the power of the base by which the value of the based_literal
without the exponent is to be multiplied to obtain the value of the
based_literal with the exponent.  The base and the exponent, if any, are
in decimal notation.

8
The extended_digits A through F can be written either in lower case or
in upper case, with the same meaning.

                              _Examples_

10.a
          The rule about which letters are allowed is now encoded in
          BNF, as suggested by Mike Woodger.  This is clearly more
          readable.

two apostrophe characters.]

2.6 String Literals
===================

1
[A string_literal is formed by a sequence of graphic characters
(possibly none) enclosed between two quotation marks used as string
brackets.  They are used to represent operator_symbols (see *note
6.1::), values of a string type (see *note 4.2::), and array
subaggregates (see *note 4.3.3::).  ]

                               _Syntax_

2
     string_literal ::= "{string_element}"

3
     string_element ::= "" | <non_quotation_mark_>graphic_character

4
     A string_element is either a pair of quotation marks (""), or a
     single graphic_character other than a quotation mark.

                          _Static Semantics_

5
The <sequence of characters> of a string_literal is formed from the
sequence of string_elements between the bracketing quotation marks, in
the given order, with a string_element that is "" becoming a single
quotation mark in the sequence of characters, and any other
string_element being reproduced in the sequence.

6
A <null string literal> is a string_literal with no string_elements
between the quotation marks.

     NOTES

7
     5  An end of line cannot appear in a string_literal.

7.1/2
     6  {<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} No transformation is performed on
     the sequence of characters of a string_literal.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

9.a
          The wording has been changed to be strictly lexical.  No
          mention is made of string or character values, since
          string_literals are also used to represent operator_symbols,
          which don't have a defined value.

9.b
          The syntax is described differently.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

9.c/2
          {<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} We explicitly say that the
          characters of a string_literal should be used as is.  In
          particular, no normalization or folding should be performed on
          a string_literal.

2.7 Comments
============

1
A comment starts with two adjacent hyphens and extends up to the end of
the line.

                               _Syntax_

2
     comment ::= --{<non_end_of_line_>character}

3
     A comment may appear on any line of a program.

                          _Static Semantics_

4
The presence or absence of comments has no influence on whether a
program is legal or illegal.  Furthermore, comments do not influence the
meaning of a program; their sole purpose is the enlightenment of the
human reader.

                              _Examples_

2.8 Pragmas
===========

1
A pragma is a compiler directive.  There are language-defined pragmas
that give instructions for optimization, listing control, etc.  An
implementation may support additional (implementation-defined) pragmas.

                     _Language Design Principles_

1.a/3
          {<AI05-0100-1AI05-0100-1>} {<AI05-0163-1AI05-0163-1>} In
          general, if all pragmas are treated as unrecognized pragmas,
          the program should remain both syntactically and semantically
          legal.  There are a few exceptions to this general principle
          (for example, pragma Import can eliminate the need for a
          completion), but the principle remains, and is strictly true
          at the syntactic level.  Certainly any implementation-defined
          pragmas should obey this principle both syntactically and
          semantically, so that if the pragmas are not recognized by
          some other implementation, the program will remain legal.

                               _Syntax_

2
     pragma ::=
        pragma identifier [(pragma_argument_association {, 
     pragma_argument_association})];

3/3
     {<AI05-0290-1AI05-0290-1>} pragma_argument_association ::=
          [<pragma_argument_>identifier =>] name
        | [<pragma_argument_>identifier =>] expression
        | <pragma_argument_>aspect_mark =>  name
        | <pragma_argument_>aspect_mark =>  expression

4/3
     {<AI05-0290-1AI05-0290-1>} In a pragma, any
     pragma_argument_associations without a <pragma_argument_>identifier
     or <pragma_argument_>aspect_mark shall precede any associations
     with a <pragma_argument_>identifier or
     <pragma_argument_>aspect_mark.

5
     Pragmas are only allowed at the following places in a program:

6
        * After a semicolon delimiter, but not within a formal_part or
          discriminant_part.

7/3
        * {<AI05-0100-1AI05-0100-1>} {<AI05-0163-1AI05-0163-1>} At any
          place where the syntax rules allow a construct defined by a
          syntactic category whose name ends with "declaration", "item",
          "statement", "clause", or "alternative", or one of the
          syntactic categories variant or exception_handler; but not in
          place of such a construct if the construct is required, or is
          part of a list that is required to have at least one such
          construct.

7.1/3
        * {<AI05-0163-1AI05-0163-1>} In place of a statement in a
          sequence_of_statements.

7.2/3
        * {<AI05-0100-1AI05-0100-1>} At any place where a
          compilation_unit is allowed.

8
     Additional syntax rules and placement restrictions exist for
     specific pragmas.

8.a
          Discussion: The above rule is written in text, rather than in
          BNF; the syntactic category pragma is not used in any BNF
          syntax rule.

8.b
          Ramification: A pragma is allowed where a
          generic_formal_parameter_declaration is allowed.

9
The <name> of a pragma is the identifier following the reserved word
pragma.  The name or expression of a pragma_argument_association is a
<pragma argument>.

9.a/2
          To be honest: {<AI95-00284-02AI95-00284-02>} For compatibility
          with Ada 83, the name of a pragma may also be "interface",
          which is not an identifier (because it is a reserved word).
          See *note J.12::.

10/3
{<AI05-0272-1AI05-0272-1>} An <identifier specific to a pragma> is an
identifier or reserved word that is used in a pragma argument with
special meaning for that pragma.

10.a
          To be honest: Whenever the syntax rules for a given pragma
          allow "identifier" as an argument of the pragma, that
          identifier is an identifier specific to that pragma.

10.b/3
          {<AI05-0272-1AI05-0272-1>} In a few cases, a reserved word is
          allowed as "an identifier specific to a pragma".  Even in
          these cases, the syntax still is written as identifier (the
          reserved word(s) are not shown).  For example, the restriction
          No_Use_Of_Attribute (see *note 13.12.1::) allows the reserved
          words which can be attribute designators, but the syntax for a
          restriction does not include these reserved words.

                          _Static Semantics_

11
If an implementation does not recognize the name of a pragma, then it
has no effect on the semantics of the program.  Inside such a pragma,
the only rules that apply are the Syntax Rules.

11.a
          To be honest: This rule takes precedence over any other rules
          that imply otherwise.

11.b
          Ramification: Note well: this rule applies only to pragmas
          whose name is not recognized.  If anything else is wrong with
          a pragma (at compile time), the pragma is illegal.  This is
          true whether the pragma is language defined or implementation
          defined.

11.c
          For example, an expression in an unrecognized pragma does not
          cause freezing, even though the rules in *note 13.14::, "*note
          13.14:: Freezing Rules" say it does; the above rule overrules
          those other rules.  On the other hand, an expression in a
          recognized pragma causes freezing, even if this makes
          something illegal.

11.d
          For another example, an expression that would be ambiguous is
          not illegal if it is inside an unrecognized pragma.

11.e
          Note, however, that implementations have to recognize pragma
          Inline(Foo) and freeze things accordingly, even if they choose
          to never do inlining.

11.f
          Obviously, the contradiction needs to be resolved one way or
          the other.  The reasons for resolving it this way are: The
          implementation is simple -- the compiler can just ignore the
          pragma altogether.  The interpretation of constructs appearing
          inside implementation-defined pragmas is implementation
          defined.  For example: "pragma Mumble(X);".  If the current
          implementation has never heard of Mumble, then it doesn't know
          whether X is a name, an expression, or an identifier specific
          to the pragma Mumble.

11.g
          To be honest: The syntax of individual pragmas overrides the
          general syntax for pragma.

11.h
          Ramification: Thus, an identifier specific to a pragma is not
          a name, syntactically; if it were, the visibility rules would
          be invoked, which is not what we want.

11.i/3
          {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} This also implies that named
          associations do not allow one to give the arguments in an
          arbitrary order -- the order given in the syntax rule for each
          individual pragma must be obeyed.  However, it is generally
          possible to leave out earlier arguments when later ones are
          given; for example, this is allowed by the syntax rule for
          pragma Import (see *note J.15.5::, "*note J.15.5:: Interfacing
          Pragmas").  As for subprogram calls, positional notation
          precedes named notation.

11.j
          Note that Ada 83 had no pragmas for which the order of named
          associations mattered, since there was never more than one
          argument that allowed named associations.

11.k
          To be honest: The interpretation of the arguments of
          implementation-defined pragmas is implementation defined.
          However, the syntax rules have to be obeyed.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

12
Any pragma that appears at the place of an executable construct is
executed.  Unless otherwise specified for a particular pragma, this
execution consists of the evaluation of each evaluable pragma argument
in an arbitrary order.

12.a
          Ramification: For a pragma that appears at the place of an
          elaborable construct, execution is elaboration.

12.b
          An identifier specific to a pragma is neither a name nor an
          expression -- such identifiers are not evaluated (unless an
          implementation defines them to be evaluated in the case of an
          implementation-defined pragma).

12.c
          The "unless otherwise specified" part allows us (and
          implementations) to make exceptions, so a pragma can contain
          an expression that is not evaluated.  Note that pragmas in
          type_definitions may contain expressions that depend on
          discriminants.

12.d
          When we wish to define a pragma with some run-time effect, we
          usually make sure that it appears in an executable context;
          otherwise, special rules are needed to define the run-time
          effect and when it happens.

                     _Implementation Requirements_

13
The implementation shall give a warning message for an unrecognized
pragma name.

13.a
          Ramification: An implementation is also allowed to have modes
          in which a warning message is suppressed, or in which the
          presence of an unrecognized pragma is a compile-time error.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

14
An implementation may provide implementation-defined pragmas; the name
of an implementation-defined pragma shall differ from those of the
language-defined pragmas.

14.a
          Implementation defined: Implementation-defined pragmas.

14.b
          Ramification: The semantics of implementation-defined pragmas,
          and any associated rules (such as restrictions on their
          placement or arguments), are, of course, implementation
          defined.  Implementation-defined pragmas may have run-time
          effects.

15
An implementation may ignore an unrecognized pragma even if it violates
some of the Syntax Rules, if detecting the syntax error is too complex.

15.a
          Reason: Many compilers use extra post-parsing checks to
          enforce the syntax rules, since the Ada syntax rules are not
          LR(k) (for any k).  (The grammar is ambiguous, in fact.)  This
          paragraph allows them to ignore an unrecognized pragma,
          without having to perform such post-parsing checks.

                        _Implementation Advice_

16/3
{<AI05-0163-1AI05-0163-1>} Normally, implementation-defined pragmas
should have no semantic effect for error-free programs; that is, if the
implementation-defined pragmas in a working program are replaced with
unrecognized pragmas, the program should still be legal, and should
still have the same semantics.

16.a.1/2
          Implementation Advice: Implementation-defined pragmas should
          have no semantic effect for error-free programs.

16.a
          Ramification: Note that "semantics" is not the same as
          "effect;" as explained in *note 1.1.3::, the semantics defines
          a set of possible effects.

16.b
          Note that adding a pragma to a program might cause an error
          (either at compile time or at run time).  On the other hand,
          if the language-specified semantics for a feature are in part
          implementation defined, it makes sense to support pragmas that
          control the feature, and that have real semantics; thus, this
          paragraph is merely a recommendation.

17
Normally, an implementation should not define pragmas that can make an
illegal program legal, except as follows:

18/3
   * {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} A pragma used to complete a declaration;

18.a/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} There are no
          language-defined pragmas which can be completions; pragma
          Import was defined this way in Ada 95 and Ada 2005, but in Ada
          2012 pragma Import just sets aspect Import which disallows
          having any completion.

19
   * A pragma used to configure the environment by adding, removing, or
     replacing library_items.

19.a.1/2
          Implementation Advice: Implementation-defined pragmas should
          not make an illegal program legal, unless they complete a
          declaration or configure the library_items in an environment.

19.a
          Ramification: For example, it is OK to support Interface,
          System_Name, Storage_Unit, and Memory_Size pragmas for upward
          compatibility reasons, even though all of these pragmas can
          make an illegal program legal.  (The latter three can affect
          legality in a rather subtle way: They affect the value of
          named numbers in System, and can therefore affect the legality
          in cases where static expressions are required.)

19.b
          On the other hand, adding implementation-defined pragmas to a
          legal program can make it illegal.  For example, a common kind
          of implementation-defined pragma is one that promises some
          property that allows more efficient code to be generated.  If
          the promise is a lie, it is best if the user gets an error
          message.

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 83_

19.c
          In Ada 83, "bad" pragmas are ignored.  In Ada 95, they are
          illegal, except in the case where the name of the pragma
          itself is not recognized by the implementation.

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

19.d
          Implementation-defined pragmas may affect the legality of a
          program.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

19.e
          Implementation-defined pragmas may affect the run-time
          semantics of the program.  This was always true in Ada 83
          (since it was not explicitly forbidden by RM83), but it was
          not clear, because there was no definition of "executing" or
          "elaborating" a pragma.

                       _Extensions to Ada 2005_

19.f/3
          {<AI05-0163-1AI05-0163-1>} Correction: Allow pragmas in place
          of a statement, even if there are no other statements in a
          sequence_of_statements.

19.g/3
          {<AI05-0272-1AI05-0272-1>} Identifiers specific to a pragma
          can be reserved words.

19.h/3
          {<AI05-0290-1AI05-0290-1>} Pragma arguments can be identified
          with aspect_marks; this allows identifier'Class in this
          context.  As usual, this is only allowed if specifically
          allowed by a particular pragma.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

19.i/3
          {<AI05-0100-1AI05-0100-1>} Correction: Clarified where pragmas
          are (and are not) allowed.

                               _Syntax_

20
     The forms of List, Page, and Optimize pragmas are as follows:

21
       pragma List(identifier);

22
       pragma Page;

23
       pragma Optimize(identifier);

24
     [Other pragmas are defined throughout this International Standard,
     and are summarized in *note Annex L::.]

24.a
          Ramification: The language-defined pragmas are supported by
          every implementation, although "supporting" some of them (for
          example, Inline) requires nothing more than checking the
          arguments, since they act only as advice to the
          implementation.

                          _Static Semantics_

25
A pragma List takes one of the identifiers On or Off as the single
argument.  This pragma is allowed anywhere a pragma is allowed.  It
specifies that listing of the compilation is to be continued or
suspended until a List pragma with the opposite argument is given within
the same compilation.  The pragma itself is always listed if the
compiler is producing a listing.

26
A pragma Page is allowed anywhere a pragma is allowed.  It specifies
that the program text which follows the pragma should start on a new
page (if the compiler is currently producing a listing).

27
A pragma Optimize takes one of the identifiers Time, Space, or Off as
the single argument.  This pragma is allowed anywhere a pragma is
allowed, and it applies until the end of the immediately enclosing
declarative region, or for a pragma at the place of a compilation_unit,
to the end of the compilation.  It gives advice to the implementation as
to whether time or space is the primary optimization criterion, or that
optional optimizations should be turned off.  [It is implementation
defined how this advice is followed.]

27.a
          Implementation defined: Effect of pragma Optimize.

27.b
          Discussion: For example, a compiler might use Time vs.  Space
          to control whether generic instantiations are implemented with
          a macro-expansion model, versus a shared-generic-body model.

27.c
          We don't define what constitutes an "optimization" -- in fact,
          it cannot be formally defined in the context of Ada.  One
          compiler might call something an optional optimization,
          whereas another compiler might consider that same thing to be
          a normal part of code generation.  Thus, the programmer cannot
          rely on this pragma having any particular portable effect on
          the generated code.  Some compilers might even ignore the
          pragma altogether.

2.9 Reserved Words
==================

     {<AI05-0091-1AI05-0091-1>} The following are the <reserved words>.
     Within a program, some or all of the letters of a reserved word may
     be in upper case.

2.a
          Discussion: Reserved words have special meaning in the syntax.
          In addition, certain reserved words are used as attribute
          names.

2.b
          The syntactic category identifier no longer allows reserved
          words.  We have added the few reserved words that are legal
          explicitly to the syntax for attribute_reference.  Allowing
          identifier to include reserved words has been a source of
          confusion for some users, and differs from the way they are
          treated in the C and Pascal language definitions.

     7  The reserved words appear in lower case boldface in this
     International Standard, except when used in the designator of an
     attribute (see *note 4.1.4::).  Lower case boldface is also used
     for a reserved word in a string_literal used as an operator_symbol.
     This is merely a convention -- programs may be written in whatever
     typeface is desired and available.

          The following words are not reserved in Ada 83, but are
          reserved in Ada 95: abstract, aliased, protected, requeue,

          equivalence has been modified to allow identifiers using all
          of the characters of ISO 10646.  This change has no effect on
          the character sequences that are reserved words, but does make
          some unusual sequences of characters illegal.

          {<AI05-0091-1AI05-0091-1>} Correction: Removed other_format
          characters from reserved words in order to be compatible with
          the latest Unicode recommendations.  This change can only
          affect programs written for original Ada 2005, and there is
          little reason to put other_format characters into reserved
          words in the first place, so there should be very few such
          programs.

3.f/3
          {<AI05-0176-1AI05-0176-1>} The following word is not reserved
          in Ada 2005, but is reserved in Ada 2012: some.  Uses of this
          word as an identifier will need to be changed, but we do not
          expect them to be common.

3.1 Declarations
================

1
The language defines several kinds of named <entities> that are declared
by declarations.  The entity's <name> is defined by the declaration,
usually by a defining_identifier (*note 3.1: S0022.), but sometimes by a
defining_character_literal (*note 3.5.1: S0040.) or
defining_operator_symbol (*note 6.1: S0171.).

2
There are several forms of declaration.  A basic_declaration is a form
of declaration defined as follows.

                               _Syntax_

3/3
     {<AI95-00348-01AI95-00348-01>} {<AI05-0177-1AI05-0177-1>}
     basic_declaration ::=

        | generic_instantiation

     defining_identifier ::= identifier

                          _Static Semantics_

5
A <declaration> is a language construct that associates a name with (a
view of) an entity.  A declaration may appear explicitly in the program
text (an <explicit> declaration), or may be supposed to occur at a given
place in the text as a consequence of the semantics of another construct
(an <implicit> declaration).

5.a
          Discussion: An implicit declaration generally declares a
          predefined or inherited operation associated with the
          definition of a type.  This term is used primarily when
          allowing explicit declarations to override implicit
          declarations, as part of a type declaration.

6/3
{<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>} {<AI05-0255-1AI05-0255-1>}
{<AI05-0277-1AI05-0277-1>} Each of the following is defined to be a
declaration: any basic_declaration (*note 3.1: S0021.); an
enumeration_literal_specification (*note 3.5.1: S0039.); a
discriminant_specification (*note 3.7: S0062.); a component_declaration
(*note 3.8: S0070.); a loop_parameter_specification (*note 5.5: S0158.);
an iterator_specification (*note 5.5.2: S0159.); a
parameter_specification (*note 6.1: S0175.); a subprogram_body (*note
6.3: S0177.); an extended_return_object_declaration (*note 6.5: S0185.);
an entry_declaration (*note 9.5.2: S0218.); an entry_index_specification
(*note 9.5.2: S0224.); a choice_parameter_specification (*note 11.2:
S0267.); a generic_formal_parameter_declaration (*note 12.1: S0275.).

6.a
          Discussion: This list (when basic_declaration is expanded out)
          contains all syntactic categories that end in "_declaration"
          or "_specification", except for program unit _specifications.
          Moreover, it contains subprogram_body.  A subprogram_body is a
          declaration, whether or not it completes a previous
          declaration.  This is a bit strange, subprogram_body is not
          part of the syntax of basic_declaration or
          library_unit_declaration.  A renaming-as-body is considered a
          declaration.  An accept_statement is not considered a
          declaration.  Completions are sometimes declarations, and
          sometimes not.

7
All declarations contain a <definition> for a <view> of an entity.  A
view consists of an identification of the entity (the entity <of> the
view), plus view-specific characteristics that affect the use of the
entity through that view (such as mode of access to an object, formal
parameter names and defaults for a subprogram, or visibility to
components of a type).  In most cases, a declaration also contains the
definition for the entity itself (a renaming_declaration is an example
of a declaration that does not define a new entity, but instead defines
a view of an existing entity (see *note 8.5::)).

7.a/2
          Glossary entry: A view of an entity reveals some or all of the
          properties of the entity.  A single entity may have multiple
          views.

7.b
          Discussion: Most declarations define a view (of some entity)
          whose view-specific characteristics are unchanging for the
          life of the view.  However, subtypes are somewhat unusual in
          that they inherit characteristics from whatever view of their
          type is currently visible.  Hence, a subtype is not a <view>
          of a type; it is more of an indirect reference.  By contrast,
          a private type provides a single, unchanging (partial) view of
          its full type.

7.1/3
{<AI05-0080-1AI05-0080-1>} When it is clear from context, the term
<object> is used in place of <view of an object>.  Similarly, the terms
<type> and <subtype> are used in place of <view of a type> and <view of
a subtype>, respectively.

7.c/3
          Discussion: Rules interpreted at compile time generally refer
          to views of entities, rather than the entities themselves.
          This is necessary to preserve privacy; characteristics that
          are not visible should not be used in compile-time rules.
          Thus, Static Semantics and Legality Rules generally implicitly
          have "view of".  Legality Rules that need to look into the
          private part are the exception to this interpretation.

7.d/3
          On the other hand, run-time rules can work either way, so
          "view of" should not be assumed in Dynamic Semantics rules.

8
For each declaration, the language rules define a certain region of text
called the <scope> of the declaration (see *note 8.2::).  Most
declarations associate an identifier with a declared entity.  Within its
scope, and only there, there are places where it is possible to use the
identifier to refer to the declaration, the view it defines, and the
associated entity; these places are defined by the visibility rules (see
*note 8.3::).  At such places the identifier is said to be a <name> of
the entity (the direct_name or selector_name); the name is said to
<denote> the declaration, the view, and the associated entity (see *note
8.6::).  The declaration is said to <declare> the name, the view, and in
most cases, the entity itself.

9
As an alternative to an identifier, an enumeration literal can be
declared with a character_literal as its name (see *note 3.5.1::), and a
function can be declared with an operator_symbol as its name (see *note
6.1::).

10
The syntax rules use the terms defining_identifier,
defining_character_literal (*note 3.5.1: S0040.), and
defining_operator_symbol (*note 6.1: S0171.) for the defining occurrence
of a name; these are collectively called <defining names>.  The terms
direct_name and selector_name are used for usage occurrences of
identifiers, character_literals, and operator_symbols.  These are
collectively called <usage names>.

10.a
          To be honest: The terms identifier, character_literal, and
          operator_symbol are used directly in contexts where the normal
          visibility rules do not apply (such as the identifier that
          appears after the end of a task_body).  Analogous conventions
          apply to the use of designator, which is the collective term
          for identifier and operator_symbol.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

11
The process by which a construct achieves its run-time effect is called
<execution>.  This process is also called <elaboration> for declarations
and <evaluation> for expressions.  One of the terms execution,
elaboration, or evaluation is defined by this International Standard for
each construct that has a run-time effect.

11.a
          Glossary entry: The process by which a construct achieves its
          run-time effect is called <execution>.  Execution of a
          declaration is also called <elaboration>.  Execution of an
          expression is also called <evaluation>.

11.b
          To be honest: The term elaboration is also used for the
          execution of certain constructs that are not declarations, and
          the term evaluation is used for the execution of certain
          constructs that are not expressions.  For example,
          subtype_indications are elaborated, and ranges are evaluated.

11.c
          For bodies, execution and elaboration are both explicitly
          defined.  When we refer specifically to the execution of a
          body, we mean the explicit definition of execution for that
          kind of body, not its elaboration.

11.d
          Discussion: Technically, "the execution of a declaration" and
          "the elaboration of a declaration" are synonymous.  We use the
          term "elaboration" of a construct when we know the construct
          is elaborable.  When we are talking about more arbitrary
          constructs, we use the term "execution".  For example, we use
          the term "erroneous execution", to refer to any erroneous
          execution, including erroneous elaboration or evaluation.

11.e
          When we explicitly define evaluation or elaboration for a
          construct, we are implicitly defining execution of that
          construct.

11.f
          We also use the term "execution" for things like statements,
          which are executable, but neither elaborable nor evaluable.
          We considered using the term "execution" only for
          nonelaborable, nonevaluable constructs, and defining the term
          "action" to mean what we have defined "execution" to mean.  We
          rejected this idea because we thought three terms that mean
          the same thing was enough -- four would be overkill.  Thus,
          the term "action" is used only informally in the standard
          (except where it is defined as part of a larger term, such as
          "protected action").

11.f.1/2
          Glossary entry: The process by which a declaration achieves
          its run-time effect is called elaboration.  Elaboration is one
          of the forms of execution.

11.f.2/2
          Glossary entry: The process by which an expression achieves
          its run-time effect is called evaluation.  Evaluation is one
          of the forms of execution.

11.g
          To be honest: A construct is <elaborable> if elaboration is
          defined for it.  A construct is <evaluable> if evaluation is
          defined for it.  A construct is <executable> if execution is
          defined for it.

11.h
          Discussion: Don't confuse "elaborable" with "preelaborable"
          (defined in *note 10.2.1::).

11.i/2
          {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} Evaluation of an evaluable
          construct produces a result that is either a value, a
          denotation, or a range.  The following are evaluable:
          expression; name prefix; range; entry_index_specification; and
          possibly discrete_range.  The last one is curious -- RM83 uses
          the term "evaluation of a discrete_range," but never defines
          it.  One might presume that the evaluation of a discrete_range
          consists of the evaluation of the range or the
          subtype_indication, depending on what it is.  But
          subtype_indications are not evaluated; they are elaborated.

11.j
          Intuitively, an <executable> construct is one that has a
          defined run-time effect (which may be null).  Since execution
          includes elaboration and evaluation as special cases, all
          elaborable and all evaluable constructs are also executable.
          Hence, most constructs in Ada are executable.  An important
          exception is that the constructs inside a generic unit are not
          executable directly, but rather are used as a template for
          (generally) executable constructs in instances of the generic.

     NOTES

12
     1  At compile time, the declaration of an entity <declares> the
     entity.  At run time, the elaboration of the declaration <creates>
     the entity.

12.a
          Ramification: Syntactic categories for declarations are named
          either <entity_>declaration (if they include a trailing
          semicolon) or <entity_>specification (if not).

12.b
          The various kinds of named entities that can be declared are
          as follows: an object (including components and parameters), a
          named number, a type (the name always refers to its first
          subtype), a subtype, a subprogram (including enumeration
          literals and operators), a single entry, an entry family, a
          package, a protected or task unit (which corresponds to either
          a type or a single object), an exception, a generic unit, a
          label, and the name of a statement.

12.c
          Identifiers are also associated with names of pragmas,
          arguments to pragmas, and with attributes, but these are not
          user-definable.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

12.d
          The syntax rule for defining_identifier is new.  It is used
          for the defining occurrence of an identifier.  Usage
          occurrences use the direct_name or selector_name syntactic
          categories.  Each occurrence of an identifier (or
          simple_name), character_literal, or operator_symbol in the Ada
          83 syntax rules is handled as follows in Ada 95:

12.e
             * It becomes a defining_identifier,
               defining_character_literal, or defining_operator_symbol
               (or some syntactic category composed of these), to
               indicate a defining occurrence;

12.f/3
             * {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} It becomes a direct_name, in
               usage occurrences where the usage is required (in Clause
               *note 8::) to be directly visible;

12.g/3
             * {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} It becomes a selector_name, in
               usage occurrences where the usage is required (in Clause
               *note 8::) to be visible but not necessarily directly
               visible;

12.h
             * It remains an identifier, character_literal, or
               operator_symbol, in cases where the visibility rules do
               not apply (such as the designator that appears after the
               end of a subprogram_body).

12.i
          For declarations that come in "two parts" (program unit
          declaration plus body, private or incomplete type plus full
          type, deferred constant plus full constant), we consider both
          to be defining occurrences.  Thus, for example, the syntax for
          package_body uses defining_identifier after the reserved word
          body, as opposed to direct_name.

12.j
          The defining occurrence of a statement name is in its implicit
          declaration, not where it appears in the program text.
          Considering the statement name itself to be the defining
          occurrence would complicate the visibility rules.

12.k
          The phrase "visible by selection" is not used in Ada 95.  It
          is subsumed by simply "visible" and the Name Resolution Rules
          for selector_names.

12.l/3
          {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} (Note that in Ada 95, a declaration
          is visible at all places where one could have used a
          selector_name, not just at places where a selector_name was
          actually used.  Thus, the places where a declaration is
          directly visible are a subset of the places where it is
          visible.  See Clause *note 8:: for details.)

12.m
          We use the term "declaration" to cover _specifications that
          declare (views of) objects, such as parameter_specifications.
          In Ada 83, these are referred to as a "form of declaration,"
          but it is not entirely clear that they are considered simply
          "declarations."

12.n/3
          {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} RM83 contains an incomplete
          definition of "elaborated" in this subclause: it defines
          "elaborated" for declarations, declarative_parts,
          declarative_items and compilation_units, but "elaboration" is
          defined elsewhere for various other constructs.  To make
          matters worse, Ada 95 has a different set of elaborable
          constructs.  Instead of correcting the list, it is more
          maintainable to refer to the term "elaborable," which is
          defined in a distributed manner.

12.o
          RM83 uses the term "has no other effect" to describe an
          elaboration that doesn't do anything except change the state
          from not-yet-elaborated to elaborated.  This was a confusing
          wording, because the answer to "other than what?"  was to be
          found many pages away.  In Ada 95, we change this wording to
          "has no effect" (for things that truly do nothing at run
          time), and "has no effect other than to establish that
          so-and-so can happen without failing the Elaboration_Check"
          (for things where it matters).

12.p
          We make it clearer that the term "execution" covers
          elaboration and evaluation as special cases.  This was implied
          in RM83.  For example, "erroneous execution" can include any
          execution, and RM83-9.4(3) has, "The task designated by any
          other task object depends on the master whose execution
          creates the task object;" the elaboration of the master's
          declarative_part is doing the task creation.

12.s/3
          {<AI05-0177-1AI05-0177-1>} Added expression functions (see

3.2 Types and Subtypes
======================

                          _Static Semantics_

1
A <type> is characterized by a set of values, and a set of <primitive
operations> which implement the fundamental aspects of its semantics.
An <object> of a given type is a run-time entity that contains (has) a
value of the type.

1.a/2
          Glossary entry: Each object has a type.  A <type> has an
          associated set of values, and a set of <primitive operations>
          which implement the fundamental aspects of its semantics.
          Types are grouped into <categories>.  Most language-defined
          categories of types are also <classes> of types.

1.b/3
          Glossary entry: A subtype is a type together with optional
          constraints, null exclusions, and predicates, which constrain
          the values of the subtype to satisfy certain conditions.  The
          values of a subtype are a subset of the values of its type.

2/2
{<AI95-00442-01AI95-00442-01>} Types are grouped into <categories> of
types.  There exist several <language-defined categories> of types (see
NOTES below), reflecting the similarity of their values and primitive
operations.  [Most categories of types form <classes> of types.]
<Elementary> types are those whose values are logically indivisible; 
<composite> types are those whose values are composed of <component>
values.  

2.a/2
          Proof: {<AI95-00442-01AI95-00442-01>} The formal definition of
          <category> and <class> is found in *note 3.4::.

2.b/2
          Glossary entry: A class is a set of types that is closed under
          derivation, which means that if a given type is in the class,
          then all types derived from that type are also in the class.
          The set of types of a class share common properties, such as
          their primitive operations.

2.b.1/2
          Glossary entry: A category of types is a set of types with one
          or more common properties, such as primitive operations.  A
          category of types that is closed under derivation is also
          known as a <class>.

2.c
          Glossary entry: An elementary type does not have components.

2.d/2
          Glossary entry: A composite type may have components.

2.e
          Glossary entry: A scalar type is either a discrete type or a
          real type.

2.f
          Glossary entry: An access type has values that designate
          aliased objects.  Access types correspond to "pointer types"
          or "reference types" in some other languages.

2.g
          Glossary entry: A discrete type is either an integer type or
          an enumeration type.  Discrete types may be used, for example,
          in case_statements and as array indices.

2.h
          Glossary entry: A real type has values that are approximations
          of the real numbers.  Floating point and fixed point types are
          real types.

2.i
          Glossary entry: Integer types comprise the signed integer
          types and the modular types.  A signed integer type has a base
          range that includes both positive and negative numbers, and
          has operations that may raise an exception when the result is
          outside the base range.  A modular type has a base range whose
          lower bound is zero, and has operations with "wraparound"
          semantics.  Modular types subsume what are called "unsigned
          types" in some other languages.

2.j
          Glossary entry: An enumeration type is defined by an
          enumeration of its values, which may be named by identifiers
          or character literals.

2.k
          Glossary entry: A character type is an enumeration type whose
          values include characters.

2.l
          Glossary entry: A record type is a composite type consisting
          of zero or more named components, possibly of different types.

2.m
          Glossary entry: A record extension is a type that extends
          another type by adding additional components.

2.n
          Glossary entry: An array type is a composite type whose
          components are all of the same type.  Components are selected
          by indexing.

2.o/2
          Glossary entry: A task type is a composite type used to
          represent active entities which execute concurrently and which
          can communicate via queued task entries.  The top-level task
          of a partition is called the environment task.

2.p/2
          Glossary entry: A protected type is a composite type whose
          components are accessible only through one of its protected
          operations which synchronize concurrent access by multiple
          tasks.

2.q/2
          Glossary entry: A private type gives a view of a type that
          reveals only some of its properties.  The remaining properties
          are provided by the full view given elsewhere.  Private types
          can be used for defining abstractions that hide unnecessary
          details from their clients.

2.r/2
          Glossary entry: A private extension is a type that extends
          another type, with the additional properties hidden from its
          clients.

2.s/2
          Glossary entry: An incomplete type gives a view of a type that
          reveals only some of its properties.  The remaining properties
          are provided by the full view given elsewhere.  Incomplete
          types can be used for defining recursive data structures.

3
The elementary types are the <scalar> types (<discrete> and <real>) and
the <access> types (whose values provide access to objects or
subprograms).  Discrete types are either <integer> types or are defined
by enumeration of their values (<enumeration> types).  Real types are
either <floating point> types or <fixed point> types.

4/2
{<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} {<AI95-00326-01AI95-00326-01>} The
composite types are the <record> types, <record extensions>, <array>
types, <interface> types, <task> types, and <protected> types.

4.a/2
          <This paragraph was deleted.>{<AI95-00442-01AI95-00442-01>}

4.1/2
{<AI95-00326-01AI95-00326-01>} There can be multiple views of a type
with varying sets of operations.  [An <incomplete> type represents an
incomplete view (see *note 3.10.1::) of a type with a very restricted
usage, providing support for recursive data structures.  A <private>
type or <private extension> represents a partial view (see *note 7.3::)
of a type, providing support for data abstraction.  The full view (see
*note 3.2.1::) of a type represents its complete definition.]  An
incomplete or partial view is considered a composite type[, even if the
full view is not].

4.b/3
          Proof: {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} The real definitions of the
          views are in the referenced subclauses.

5/2
{<AI95-00326-01AI95-00326-01>} Certain composite types (and views
thereof) have special components called <discriminants> whose values
affect the presence, constraints, or initialization of other components.
Discriminants can be thought of as parameters of the type.

6/2
{<AI95-00366-01AI95-00366-01>} The term <subcomponent> is used in this
International Standard in place of the term component to indicate either
a component, or a component of another subcomponent.  Where other
subcomponents are excluded, the term component is used instead.
Similarly, a <part> of an object or value is used to mean the whole
object or value, or any set of its subcomponents.  The terms component,
subcomponent, and part are also applied to a type meaning the component,
subcomponent, or part of objects and values of the type.

6.a
          Discussion: The definition of "part" here is designed to
          simplify rules elsewhere.  By design, the intuitive meaning of
          "part" will convey the correct result to the casual reader,
          while this formalistic definition will answer the concern of
          the compiler-writer.

6.b
          We use the term "part" when talking about the parent part,
          ancestor part, or extension part of a type extension.  In
          contexts such as these, the part might represent an empty set
          of subcomponents (e.g.  in a null record extension, or a
          nonnull extension of a null record).  We also use "part" when
          specifying rules such as those that apply to an object with a
          "controlled part" meaning that it applies if the object as a
          whole is controlled, or any subcomponent is.

7/2
{<AI95-00231-01AI95-00231-01>} The set of possible values for an object
of a given type can be subjected to a condition that is called a
<constraint> (the case of a <null constraint> that specifies no
restriction is also included)[; the rules for which values satisfy a
given kind of constraint are given in *note 3.5:: for range_constraints,
*note 3.6.1:: for index_constraints, and *note 3.7.1:: for
discriminant_constraints].  The set of possible values for an object of
an access type can also be subjected to a condition that excludes the
null value (see *note 3.10::).

8/2
{<AI95-00231-01AI95-00231-01>} {<AI95-00415-01AI95-00415-01>} A
<subtype> of a given type is a combination of the type, a constraint on
values of the type, and certain attributes specific to the subtype.  The
given type is called the <type of the subtype>.  Similarly, the
associated constraint is called the <constraint of the subtype>.   The
set of values of a subtype consists of the values of its type that
satisfy its constraint and any exclusion of the null value.  Such values
<belong> to the subtype.  

8.a
          Discussion: We make a strong distinction between a type and
          its subtypes.  In particular, a type is <not> a subtype of
          itself.  There is no constraint associated with a type (not
          even a null one), and type-related attributes are distinct
          from subtype-specific attributes.

8.b
          Discussion: We no longer use the term "base type."  All types
          were "base types" anyway in Ada 83, so the term was redundant,
          and occasionally confusing.  In the RM95 we say simply "the
          type <of> the subtype" instead of "the base type of the
          subtype."

8.c
          Ramification: The value subset for a subtype might be empty,
          and need not be a proper subset.

8.d/2
          To be honest: {<AI95-00442-01AI95-00442-01>} Any name of a
          category of types (such as "discrete", "real", or "limited")
          is also used to qualify its subtypes, as well as its objects,
          values, declarations, and definitions, such as an "integer
          type declaration" or an "integer value."  In addition, if a
          term such as "parent subtype" or "index subtype" is defined,
          then the corresponding term for the type of the subtype is
          "parent type" or "index type."

8.e
          Discussion: We use these corresponding terms without
          explicitly defining them, when the meaning is obvious.

9
A subtype is called an <unconstrained> subtype if its type has unknown
discriminants, or if its type allows range, index, or discriminant
constraints, but the subtype does not impose such a constraint;
otherwise, the subtype is called a <constrained> subtype (since it has
no unconstrained characteristics).

9.a
          Discussion: In an earlier version of Ada 9X, "constrained"
          meant "has a nonnull constraint."  However, we changed to this
          definition since we kept having to special case composite
          non-array/nondiscriminated types.  It also corresponds better
          to the (now obsolescent) attribute 'Constrained.

9.b
          For scalar types, "constrained" means "has a nonnull
          constraint".  For composite types, in implementation terms,
          "constrained" means that the size of all objects of the
          subtype is the same, assuming a typical implementation model.

9.c
          Class-wide subtypes are always unconstrained.

     NOTES

10/2
     2  {<AI95-00442-01AI95-00442-01>} Any set of types can be called a
     "category" of types, and any set of types that is closed under
     derivation (see *note 3.4::) can be called a "class" of types.
     However, only certain categories and classes are used in the
     description of the rules of the language -- generally those that
     have their own particular set of primitive operations (see *note
     3.2.3::), or that correspond to a set of types that are matched by
     a given kind of generic formal type (see *note 12.5::).  The
     following are examples of "interesting" <language-defined classes>:
     elementary, scalar, discrete, enumeration, character, boolean,
     integer, signed integer, modular, real, floating point, fixed
     point, ordinary fixed point, decimal fixed point, numeric, access,
     access-to-object, access-to-subprogram, composite, array, string,
     (untagged) record, tagged, task, protected, nonlimited.  Special
     syntax is provided to define types in each of these classes.  In
     addition to these classes, the following are examples of
     "interesting" <language-defined categories>: abstract, incomplete,
     interface, limited, private, record.

10.a
          Discussion: A <value> is a run-time entity with a given type
          which can be assigned to an object of an appropriate subtype
          of the type.  An <operation> is a program entity that operates
          on zero or more operands to produce an effect, or yield a
          result, or both.

10.b/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00442-01AI95-00442-01>} Note that a
          type's category (and class) depends on the place of the
          reference -- a private type is composite outside and possibly
          elementary inside.  It's really the <view> that is elementary
          or composite.  Note that although private types are composite,
          there are some properties that depend on the corresponding
          full view -- for example, parameter passing modes, and the
          constraint checks that apply in various places.

10.c/2
          {<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} {<AI95-00442-01AI95-00442-01>}
          Every property of types forms a category, but not every
          property of types represents a class.  For example, the set of
          all abstract types does not form a class, because this set is
          not closed under derivation.  Similarly, the set of all
          interface types does not form a class.

10.d/2
          {<AI95-00442-01AI95-00442-01>} The set of limited types does
          not form a class (since nonlimited types can inherit from
          limited interfaces), but the set of nonlimited types does.
          The set of tagged record types and the set of tagged private
          types do not form a class (because each of them can be
          extended to create a type of the other category); that implies
          that the set of record types and the set of private types also
          do not form a class (even though untagged record types and
          untagged private types do form a class).  In all of these
          cases, we can talk about the category of the type; for
          instance, we can talk about the "category of limited types"..

10.e/2
          {<AI95-00442-01AI95-00442-01>} Normatively, the
          <language-defined classes> are those that are defined to be
          inherited on derivation by *note 3.4::; other properties
          either aren't interesting or form categories, not classes.

11/2
     {<AI95-00442-01AI95-00442-01>} These language-defined categories
     are organized like this:

12/2
          {<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} all types
             elementary

          {<AI95-00442-01AI95-00442-01>} Note that this is also true for
          some categories mentioned in the chart.  The category "task"
          includes both untagged tasks and tagged tasks.  Similarly for
          "protected", "limited", and "nonlimited" (note that limited
          and nonlimited are not shown for untagged composite types).

13.a/3
          {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} This subclause now precedes the
          subclauses on objects and named numbers, to cut down on the
          number of forward references.

13.b
          We have dropped the term "base type" in favor of simply "type"
          (all types in Ada 83 were "base types" so it wasn't clear when
          it was appropriate/necessary to say "base type").  Given a
          subtype S of a type T, we call T the "type of the subtype S."

13.c/2
          {<AI95-00231-01AI95-00231-01>} Added a mention of null
          exclusions when we're talking about constraints (these are not
          constraints, but they are similar).

13.d/2
          {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} Defined an interface type to be

          in terms of the language.

13.f/2
          {<AI95-00366-01AI95-00366-01>} Added a definition of component
          of a type, subcomponent of a type, and part of a type.  These
          are commonly used in the standard, but they were not
          previously defined.

          Reworded most of this subclause to use category rather than
          class, since so many interesting properties are not, strictly
          speaking, classes.  Moreover, there was no normative
          description of exactly which properties formed classes, and
          which did not.  The real definition of class, along with a
          list of properties, is now in *note 3.4::.

3.2.1 Type Declarations
-----------------------

1
A type_declaration declares a type and its first subtype.

                               _Syntax_

2
     type_declaration ::=  full_type_declaration
        | incomplete_type_declaration
        | private_type_declaration
        | private_extension_declaration

3/3
     {<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>} full_type_declaration ::=
          type defining_identifier [known_discriminant_part] is 
     type_definition
             [aspect_specification];
        | task_type_declaration
        | protected_type_declaration

4/2
     {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} type_definition ::=
          enumeration_type_definition   | integer_type_definition
        | real_type_definition   | array_type_definition
        | record_type_definition   | access_type_definition
        | derived_type_definition   | interface_type_definition

                           _Legality Rules_

5
A given type shall not have a subcomponent whose type is the given type
itself.

                          _Static Semantics_

6
The defining_identifier (*note 3.1: S0022.) of a type_declaration (*note
3.2.1: S0023.) denotes the <first subtype> of the type.  The
known_discriminant_part (*note 3.7: S0061.), if any, defines the
discriminants of the type (see *note 3.7::, "*note 3.7::
Discriminants").  The remainder of the type_declaration (*note 3.2.1:
S0023.) defines the remaining characteristics of (the view of) the type.

7/2
{<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} A type defined by a type_declaration
(*note 3.2.1: S0023.) is a <named> type; such a type has one or more
nameable subtypes.  Certain other forms of declaration also include type
definitions as part of the declaration for an object.  The type defined
by such a declaration is <anonymous> -- it has no nameable subtypes.
For explanatory purposes, this International Standard sometimes refers
to an anonymous type by a pseudo-name, written in italics, and uses such
pseudo-names at places where the syntax normally requires an identifier.
For a named type whose first subtype is T, this International Standard
sometimes refers to the type of T as simply "the type T".

7.a/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} The only
          user-defined types that can be anonymous in the above sense
          are array, access, task, and protected types.  An anonymous
          array, task, or protected type can be defined as part of an
          object_declaration.  An anonymous access type can be defined
          as part of numerous other constructs.

8/2
{<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} {<AI95-00326-01AI95-00326-01>} A named
type that is declared by a full_type_declaration (*note 3.2.1: S0024.),
or an anonymous type that is defined by an access_definition or as part
of declaring an object of the type, is called a <full type>.  The
declaration of a full type also declares the <full view> of the type.
The type_definition (*note 3.2.1: S0025.), task_definition (*note 9.1:
S0207.), protected_definition (*note 9.4: S0212.), or access_definition
(*note 3.10: S0084.) that defines a full type is called a <full type
definition>.  [Types declared by other forms of type_declaration (*note
3.2.1: S0023.) are not separate types; they are partial or incomplete
views of some full type.]

8.a
          To be honest: Class-wide, universal, and root numeric types
          are full types.

8.b/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} We need to mention
          access_definition separately, as it may occur in renames,
          which do not declare objects.

9
The definition of a type implicitly declares certain <predefined
operators> that operate on the type, according to what classes the type
belongs, as specified in *note 4.5::, "*note 4.5:: Operators and
Expression Evaluation".

9.a
          Discussion: We no longer talk about the implicit declaration
          of basic operations.  These are treated like an if_statement
          -- they don't need to be declared, but are still applicable to
          only certain classes of types.

10
The <predefined types> [(for example the types Boolean, Wide_Character,
Integer, <root_integer>, and <universal_integer>)] are the types that
are defined in [a predefined library package called] Standard[; this
package also includes the [(implicit)] declarations of their predefined
operators].  [The package Standard is described in *note A.1::.]

10.a
          Ramification: We use the term "predefined" to refer to
          entities declared in the visible part of Standard, to
          implicitly declared operators of a type whose semantics are
          defined by the language, to Standard itself, and to the
          "predefined environment".  We do not use this term to refer to
          library packages other than Standard.  For example Text_IO is
          a language-defined package, not a predefined package, and
          Text_IO.Put_Line is not a predefined operation.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

11
The elaboration of a full_type_declaration consists of the elaboration
of the full type definition.  Each elaboration of a full type definition
creates a distinct type and its first subtype.

11.a
          Reason: The creation is associated with the type <definition>,
          rather than the type <declaration>, because there are types
          that are created by full type definitions that are not
          immediately contained within a type declaration (e.g.  an
          array object declaration, a singleton task declaration, etc.).

11.b
          Ramification: Any implicit declarations that occur immediately
          following the full type definition are elaborated where they
          (implicitly) occur.

                              _Examples_

12
<Examples of type definitions:>

13
     (White, Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, Brown, Black)
     range 1 .. 72
     array(1 .. 10) of Integer

14
<Examples of type declarations:>

15
     type Color  is (White, Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, Brown, Black);
     type Column is range 1 .. 72;
     type Table  is array(1 .. 10) of Integer;

     NOTES

16
     3  Each of the above examples declares a named type.  The
     identifier given denotes the first subtype of the type.  Other
     named subtypes of the type can be declared with
     subtype_declarations (see *note 3.2.2::).  Although names do not
     directly denote types, a phrase like "the type Column" is sometimes
     used in this International Standard to refer to the type of Column,
     where Column denotes the first subtype of the type.  For an example
     of the definition of an anonymous type, see the declaration of the
     array Color_Table in *note 3.3.1::; its type is anonymous -- it has
     no nameable subtypes.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

16.a
          The syntactic category full_type_declaration now includes task
          and protected type declarations.

16.b/3
          {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} We have generalized the concept of
          first-named subtype (now called simply "first subtype") to
          cover all kinds of types, for uniformity of description
          elsewhere.  RM83 defined first-named subtype in Section 13.
          We define first subtype here, because it is now a more
          fundamental concept.  We renamed the term, because in Ada 95
          some first subtypes have no name.

16.c/2
          {<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} We no longer elaborate
          discriminant_parts, because there is nothing to do, and it was
          complex to say that you only wanted to elaborate it once for a
          private or incomplete type.  This is also consistent with the
          fact that subprogram specifications are not elaborated
          (neither in Ada 83 nor in Ada 95).  Note, however, that an
          access_definition appearing in a discriminant_part is
          elaborated at the full_type_declaration (for a nonlimited
          type) or when an object with such a discriminant is created
          (for a limited type).

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

16.d/2
          {<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} Added wording so that anonymous
          access types are always full types, even if they appear in
          renames.

16.e/2
          {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} Added interface types (see
          *note 3.9.4::) to the syntax.

16.f/2
          {<AI95-00326-01AI95-00326-01>} Added a definition of full
          view, so that all types have a well-defined full view.

                       _Extensions to Ada 2005_

16.g/3
          {<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>} An optional aspect_specification
          can be used in a full_type_declaration.  This is described in
          *note 13.1.1::.

3.2.2 Subtype Declarations
--------------------------

1
A subtype_declaration declares a subtype of some previously declared
type, as defined by a subtype_indication.

                               _Syntax_

2/3
     {<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>} subtype_declaration ::=
        subtype defining_identifier is subtype_indication
             [aspect_specification];

3/2
     {<AI95-00231-01AI95-00231-01>} subtype_indication ::=  [
     null_exclusion] subtype_mark [constraint]

4
     subtype_mark ::= <subtype_>name

4.a
          Ramification: Note that name includes attribute_reference;
          thus, S'Base can be used as a subtype_mark.

4.b
          Reason: We considered changing subtype_mark to subtype_name.
          However, existing users are used to the word "mark," so we're
          keeping it.

5
     constraint ::= scalar_constraint | composite_constraint

6
     scalar_constraint ::=
          range_constraint | digits_constraint | delta_constraint

7
     composite_constraint ::=
          index_constraint | discriminant_constraint

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

8
A subtype_mark shall resolve to denote a subtype.  The type <determined
by> a subtype_mark is the type of the subtype denoted by the
subtype_mark.

8.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} Types are never
          directly named; all subtype_marks denote subtypes -- possibly
          an unconstrained (base) subtype, but never the type.  When we
          use the term <anonymous type> we really mean a type with no
          nameable subtypes.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

9
The elaboration of a subtype_declaration consists of the elaboration of
the subtype_indication.  The elaboration of a subtype_indication creates
a new subtype.  If the subtype_indication does not include a constraint,
the new subtype has the same (possibly null) constraint as that denoted
by the subtype_mark.  The elaboration of a subtype_indication that
includes a constraint proceeds as follows:

10
   * The constraint is first elaborated.

11
   * A check is then made that the constraint is <compatible> with the
     subtype denoted by the subtype_mark.

11.a
          Ramification: The checks associated with constraint
          compatibility are all Range_Checks.  Discriminant_Checks and
          Index_Checks are associated only with checks that a value
          satisfies a constraint.

12
The condition imposed by a constraint is the condition obtained after
elaboration of the constraint.  The rules defining compatibility are
given for each form of constraint in the appropriate subclause.  These
rules are such that if a constraint is <compatible> with a subtype, then
the condition imposed by the constraint cannot contradict any condition
already imposed by the subtype on its values.  The exception
Constraint_Error is raised if any check of compatibility fails.

12.a
          To be honest: The condition imposed by a constraint is named
          after it -- a range_constraint imposes a range constraint,
          etc.

12.b
          Ramification: A range_constraint causes freezing of its type.
          Other constraints do not.

     NOTES

13
     4  A scalar_constraint may be applied to a subtype of an
     appropriate scalar type (see *note 3.5::, *note 3.5.9::, and *note
     J.3::), even if the subtype is already constrained.  On the other
     hand, a composite_constraint may be applied to a composite subtype
     (or an access-to-composite subtype) only if the composite subtype
     is unconstrained (see *note 3.6.1:: and *note 3.7.1::).

                              _Examples_

14
<Examples of subtype declarations:>

15/2
     {<AI95-00433-01AI95-00433-01>} subtype Rainbow   is Color range Red .. Blue;        --<  see *note 3.2.1::>
     subtype Red_Blue  is Rainbow;
     subtype Int       is Integer;
     subtype Small_Int is Integer range -10 .. 10;
     subtype Up_To_K   is Column range 1 .. K;            --<  see *note 3.2.1::>
     subtype Square    is Matrix(1 .. 10, 1 .. 10);       --<  see *note 3.6::>
     subtype Male      is Person(Sex => M);               --<  see *note 3.10.1::>
     subtype Binop_Ref is not null Binop_Ptr;             --<  see *note 3.10::>

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 83_

15.a
          In Ada 95, all range_constraints cause freezing of their type.
          Hence, a type-related representation item for a scalar type
          has to precede any range_constraints whose type is the scalar
          type.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

15.b
          Subtype_marks allow only subtype names now, since types are
          never directly named.  There is no need for RM83-3.3.2(3),
          which says a subtype_mark can denote both the type and the
          subtype; in Ada 95, you denote an unconstrained (base) subtype
          if you want, but never the type.

15.c
          The syntactic category type_mark is now called subtype_mark,
          since it always denotes a subtype.

          {<AI95-00231-01AI95-00231-01>} An optional null_exclusion can
          be used in a subtype_indication.  This is described in *note

3.2.3 Classification of Operations
----------------------------------

                          _Static Semantics_

1/2
{<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>} An operation <operates on a type> <T> if
it yields a value of type <T>, if it has an operand whose expected type
(see *note 8.6::) is <T>, or if it has an access parameter or access
result type (see *note 6.1::) designating <T>.  A predefined operator,
or other language-defined operation such as assignment or a membership
test, that operates on a type, is called a <predefined operation> of the
type.  The <primitive operations> of a type are the predefined
operations of the type, plus any user-defined primitive subprograms.

1.a
          Glossary entry: The primitive operations of a type are the
          operations (such as subprograms) declared together with the
          type declaration.  They are inherited by other types in the
          same class of types.  For a tagged type, the primitive
          subprograms are dispatching subprograms, providing run-time
          polymorphism.  A dispatching subprogram may be called with
          statically tagged operands, in which case the subprogram body
          invoked is determined at compile time.  Alternatively, a
          dispatching subprogram may be called using a dispatching call,
          in which case the subprogram body invoked is determined at run
          time.

1.b
          To be honest: Protected subprograms are not considered to be
          "primitive subprograms," even though they are subprograms, and
          they are inherited by derived types.

1.c
          Discussion: We use the term "primitive subprogram" in most of
          the rest of the manual.  The term "primitive operation" is
          used mostly in conceptual discussions.

2
The <primitive subprograms> of a specific type are defined as follows:

3
   * The predefined operators of the type (see *note 4.5::);

4
   * For a derived type, the inherited (see *note 3.4::) user-defined
     subprograms;

5
   * For an enumeration type, the enumeration literals (which are
     considered parameterless functions -- see *note 3.5.1::);

6
   * For a specific type declared immediately within a
     package_specification, any subprograms (in addition to the
     enumeration literals) that are explicitly declared immediately
     within the same package_specification and that operate on the type;

6.1/3
   * {<AI05-0128-1AI05-0128-1>} For a specific type with an explicitly
     declared primitive "=" operator whose result type is Boolean, the
     corresponding "/=" operator (see *note 6.6::);

7/2
   * {<AI95-00200-01AI95-00200-01>} For a nonformal type, any
     subprograms not covered above [that are explicitly declared
     immediately within the same declarative region as the type] and
     that override (see *note 8.3::) other implicitly declared primitive
     subprograms of the type.

7.a
          Discussion: In Ada 83, only subprograms declared in the
          visible part were "primitive" (i.e.  derivable).  In Ada 95,
          mostly because of child library units, we include all
          operations declared in the private part as well, and all
          operations that override implicit declarations.

7.b
          Ramification: It is possible for a subprogram to be primitive
          for more than one type, though it is illegal for a subprogram
          to be primitive for more than one tagged type.  See *note
          3.9::.

7.c
          Discussion: The order of the implicit declarations when there
          are both predefined operators and inherited subprograms is
          described in *note 3.4::, "*note 3.4:: Derived Types and
          Classes".

7.d/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00200-01AI95-00200-01>} Subprograms
          declared in a generic package specification are never
          primitive for a formal type, even if they happen to override
          an operation of the formal type.  This includes formal
          subprograms, which are never primitive operations (that's true
          even for an abstract formal subprogram).

8
A primitive subprogram whose designator is an operator_symbol is called
a <primitive operator>.

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 83_

8.a
          The attribute S'Base is no longer defined for nonscalar
          subtypes.  Since this was only permitted as the prefix of
          another attribute, and there are no interesting nonscalar
          attributes defined for an unconstrained composite or access
          subtype, this should not affect any existing programs.

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

8.b
          The primitive subprograms (derivable subprograms) include
          subprograms declared in the private part of a package
          specification as well, and those that override implicitly
          declared subprograms, even if declared in a body.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

8.c
          We have dropped the confusing term <operation of a type> in
          favor of the more useful <primitive operation of a type> and
          the phrase <operates on a type>.

8.d
          The description of S'Base has been moved to *note 3.5::,
          "*note 3.5:: Scalar Types" because it is now defined only for
          scalar types.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

8.e/2
          {<AI95-00200-01AI95-00200-01>} Clarified that a formal
          subprogram that happens to override a primitive operation of a
          formal type is not a primitive operation (and thus not a
          dispatching operation) of the formal type.

8.f/2
          {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>} Added wording to include access
          result types in the kinds of operations that operate on a type
          T.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

8.g/3
          {<AI05-0128-1AI05-0128-1>} Correction: The implicitly declared
          "/=" for a primitive "=" operator is also primitive; this
          makes it eligible to be made visible by a use type clause.

------------------------

1/3
{<AI05-0153-3AI05-0153-3>} {<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>}
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} The language-defined <predicate aspects>
Static_Predicate and Dynamic_Predicate may be used to define properties
of subtypes.  A <predicate specification> is an aspect_specification for
one of the two predicate aspects.  General rules for aspects and
aspect_specifications are found in Clause *note 13:: (*note 13.1:: and
*note 13.1.1:: respectively).

1.a/3
          Aspect Description for Static_Predicate: Condition that must
          hold true for objects of a given subtype; the subtype may be
          static.

1.b/3
          Aspect Description for Dynamic_Predicate: Condition that must
          hold true for objects of a given subtype; the subtype is not
          static.

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

2/3
{<AI05-0153-3AI05-0153-3>} The expected type for a predicate aspect
expression is any boolean type.

                          _Static Semantics_

3/3
{<AI05-0153-3AI05-0153-3>} A predicate specification may be given on a
type_declaration or a subtype_declaration, and applies to the declared
subtype.  In addition, predicate specifications apply to certain other
subtypes:

4/4
   * {<AI12-0071-1AI12-0071-1>} {<AI12-0099-1AI12-0099-1>} For a (first)
     subtype defined by a type declaration, any predicates of parent or
     progenitor subtypes apply.

5/3
   * For a subtype created by a subtype_indication, the predicate of the
     subtype denoted by the subtype_mark applies.

6/4
<This paragraph was deleted.>{<AI05-0153-3AI05-0153-3>}
{<AI12-0071-1AI12-0071-1>}

7/3
{<AI05-0290-1AI05-0290-1>} Predicate checks are defined to be <enabled>
or <disabled> for a given subtype as follows:

8/3
   * If a subtype is declared by a type_declaration or
     subtype_declaration that includes a predicate specification, then:

9/3
        * if performing checks is required by the Static_Predicate
          assertion policy (see *note 11.4.2::) and the declaration
          includes a Static_Predicate specification, then predicate
          checks are enabled for the subtype;

10/3
        * if performing checks is required by the Dynamic_Predicate
          assertion policy (see *note 11.4.2::) and the declaration
          includes a Dynamic_Predicate specification, then predicate
          checks are enabled for the subtype;

11/3
        * otherwise, predicate checks are disabled for the subtype[,
          regardless of whether predicate checking is enabled for any
          other subtypes mentioned in the declaration];

12/4
   * {<AI12-0099-1AI12-0099-1>} If a subtype is defined by a type
     declaration that does not include a predicate specification, then
     predicate checks are enabled for the subtype if and only if any
     predicate checks are enabled for parent or progenitor subtypes;

13/3
   * If a subtype is created by a subtype_indication other than in one
     of the previous cases, then predicate checks are enabled for the
     subtype if and only if predicate checks are enabled for the subtype
     denoted by the subtype_mark;

14/3
   * Otherwise, predicate checks are disabled for the given subtype.

14.a/3
          Discussion: In this case, no predicate specifications can
          apply to the subtype and so it doesn't typically matter
          whether predicate checks are enabled.  This rule does make a
          difference, however, when determining whether predicate checks
          are enabled for another type when this type is one of multiple
          progenitors.  See the "derived type declaration" wording
          above.

14.b/4
          {<AI12-0071-1AI12-0071-1>} Even when predicate checks are
          disabled, a predicate can affect various Legality Rules, the
          results of membership tests, the items in a for loop, and the
          result of the Valid attribute.

14.1/4
{<AI12-0054-2AI12-0054-2>} For a subtype with a directly-specified
predicate aspect, the following additional language-defined aspect may
be specified with an aspect_specification (see *note 13.1.1::):

14.2/4
Predicate_Failure
               This aspect shall be specified by an expression, which
               determines the action to be performed when a predicate
               check fails because a directly-specified predicate aspect
               of the subtype evaluates to False, as explained below.

14.b.1/4
          Aspect Description for Predicate_Failure: Action to be
          performed when a predicate check fails.

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

14.3/4
{<AI12-0054-2AI12-0054-2>} The expected type for the Predicate_Failure
expression is String.

                           _Legality Rules_

15/3
{<AI05-0153-3AI05-0153-3>} {<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>} The expression of
a Static_Predicate specification shall be <predicate-static>; that is,
one of the following:

16/3
   * a static expression;

17/4
   * {<AI12-0039-1AI12-0039-1>} a membership test whose
     <tested_>simple_expression is the current instance, and whose
     membership_choice_list meets the requirements for a static
     membership test (see *note 4.9::);

18/3
   * a case_expression whose <selecting_>expression is the current
     instance, and whose <dependent_>expressions are static expressions;

19/3
   * a call to a predefined equality or ordering operator, where one
     operand is the current instance, and the other is a static
     expression;

20/4
   * {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} {<AI12-0099-1AI12-0099-1>} a call to a
     predefined boolean operator and, or, xor, or not, where each
     operand is predicate-static;

21/3
   * {<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>} a short-circuit control form where both
     operands are predicate-static; or

22/3
   * a parenthesized predicate-static expression.

23/3
{<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} A predicate shall not be specified for an
incomplete subtype.

23.a/3
          Reason: The expression of such a predicate could not depend on
          the properties of the value of the type (since it doesn't have
          any), so it is useless and we don't want to require the added
          complexity needed to support it.

24/3
{<AI05-0287-1AI05-0287-1>} If a predicate applies to a subtype, then
that predicate shall not mention any other subtype to which the same
predicate applies.

24.a/3
          Reason: This is intended to prevent recursive predicates,
          which cause definitional problems for static predicates.
          Inside of the predicate, the subtype name refers to the
          current instance of the subtype, which is an object, so a
          direct use of the subtype name cannot be recursive.  But other
          subtypes naming the same type might:

24.b/3
                  type Really_Ugly is private;
               private
                  subtype Ugly is Really_Ugly;
                  type Really_Ugly is new Integer
                     with Static_Predicate => Really_Ugly not in Ugly; --< Illegal!>

25/3
{<AI05-0153-3AI05-0153-3>} An index subtype, discrete_range of an
index_constraint or slice, or a discrete_subtype_definition of a
constrained_array_definition, entry_declaration, or
entry_index_specification shall not denote a subtype to which predicate
specifications apply.

26/3
{<AI05-0153-3AI05-0153-3>} The prefix of an attribute_reference whose
attribute_designator is First, Last, or Range shall not denote a scalar
subtype to which predicate specifications apply.

26.a/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0297-1AI05-0297-1>} This is to prevent
          confusion about whether the First value is the lowest value of
          the subtype (which does not depend on the predicate) or the
          lowest value of the subtype which meets the predicate.  (For a
          dynamic predicate, determining this latter value is expensive
          as it would usually require a loop.)  For a static subtype
          that has a static predicate, the First_Valid and Last_Valid
          attributes (see *note 3.5.5::) can be used instead.

27/3
{<AI05-0153-3AI05-0153-3>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>}
{<AI05-0287-1AI05-0287-1>} The discrete_subtype_definition of a
loop_parameter_specification shall not denote a nonstatic subtype to
which predicate specifications apply or any subtype to which
Dynamic_Predicate specifications apply.

28/3
{<AI05-0153-3AI05-0153-3>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} The
discrete_choice of a named_array_aggregate shall not denote a nonstatic
subtype to which predicate specifications apply.

28.a/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} This rule prevents
          noncontiguous dynamically bounded array aggregates, which
          could be expensive to check for.  (Array aggregates have rules
          to prevent problems with static subtypes.)  We define this
          rule here so that the runtime generic body check applies.

29/3
{<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} In addition to the places where Legality
Rules normally apply (see *note 12.3::), these rules apply also in the
private part of an instance of a generic unit.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

29.1/4
{<AI125-0071AI125-0071>} If any of the above Legality Rules is violated
in an instance of a generic unit, Program_Error is raised at the point
of the violation.

29.a/4
          Discussion: This is the usual way around the contract model;
          this applies even in instance bodies.  Note that errors in
          instance specifications will be detected at compile-time by
          the "re-check" of the specification, only errors in the body
          should raise Program_Error.

29.2/4
{<AI12-0071-1AI12-0071-1>} To determine whether a value <satisfies the
predicates> of a subtype <S>, the following tests are performed in the
following order, until one of the tests fails, in which case the
predicates are not satisfied and no further tests are performed, or all
of the tests succeed, in which case the predicates are satisfied:

29.3/4
   * the value is first tested to determine whether it satisfies any
     constraints or any null exclusion of <S>;

29.4/4
   * then:

29.5/4
        * if <S> is a first subtype, the value is tested to determine
          whether it satisfies the predicates of the parent and
          progenitor subtypes (if any) of <S> (in an arbitrary order);

29.b/4
          Ramification: This rule has an effect for derived types (which
          have a parent subtype and may have progenitors) and for task
          and protected types (which may have progentitors).  Other
          kinds of type declarations can have neither, and no test is
          required for other first subtypes.

29.6/4
        * if <S> is defined by a subtype_indication, the value is tested
          to determine whether it satisfies the predicates of the
          subtype denoted by the subtype_mark of the subtype_indication;

29.7/4
   * finally, if <S> is defined by a declaration to which one or more
     predicate specifications apply, the predicates are evaluated (in an
     arbitrary order) to test that all of them yield True for the given
     value.

29.b.1/4
          Discussion: It is important to stop on the first of the above
          steps that fails, as later steps might presume that the
          earlier steps had succeeded.

30/3
{<AI05-0153-3AI05-0153-3>} {<AI05-0290-1AI05-0290-1>} If predicate
checks are enabled for a given subtype, then:

31/4
          {<AI12-0054-2AI12-0054-2>} {<AI12-0071-1AI12-0071-1>} [On
          every subtype conversion, a check is performed that the
          operand satisfies the predicates of the target subtype.  This
          includes all parameter passing, except for certain parameters
          passed by reference, which are covered by the following rule:
          ] After normal completion and leaving of a subprogram, for
          each in out or out parameter that is passed by reference, a
          check is performed that the value of the parameter satisfies
          the predicates of the subtype of the actual.  For an object
          created by an object_declaration with no explicit
          initialization expression, or by an uninitialized allocator,
          if any subcomponents have default_expressions, a check is
          performed that the value of the created object satisfies the
          predicates of the nominal subtype.

31.1/4
          {<AI12-0054-2AI12-0054-2>} If any of the predicate checks
          fail, Assertion_Error is raised, unless the subtype whose
          directly-specified predicate aspect evaluated to False also
          has a directly-specified Predicate_Failure aspect.  In that
          case, the specified Predicate_Failure expression is evaluated;
          if the evaluation of the Predicate_Failure expression
          propagates an exception occurrence, then this occurrence is
          propagated for the failure of the predicate check; otherwise,
          Assertion_Error is raised, with an associated message string
          defined by the value of the Predicate_Failure expression.  In
          the absence of such a Predicate_Failure aspect, an
          implementation-defined message string is associated with the
          Assertion_Error exception.

31.a/3
          Ramification: Predicates are not evaluated at the point of the
          (sub)type declaration.

31.b/3
          Implementation Note: Static_Predicate checks can be removed
          even in the presence of potentially invalid values, just as
          constraint checks can be removed.

     NOTES

34/3
     5  {<AI05-0153-3AI05-0153-3>} A predicate specification does not
     cause a subtype to be considered constrained.

35/3
     6  {<AI05-0153-3AI05-0153-3>} A Static_Predicate, like a
     constraint, always remains True for all objects of the subtype,
     except in the case of uninitialized variables and other invalid
     values.  A Dynamic_Predicate, on the other hand, is checked as
     specified above, but can become False at other times.  For example,
     the predicate of a record subtype is not checked when a
     subcomponent is modified.

36/4
     7  {<AI12-0071-1AI12-0071-1>} No predicates apply to the base
     subtype of a scalar type; every value of a scalar type <T> is
     considered to satisfy the predicates of <T>'Base.

          always possible for implementers to add implementation-defined

          inconsistent, as the order previously was unspecified, so any
          code depending on the order was incorrect.  The change is
          necessary so that the Predicate_Failure aspect has consistent
          results in cases where multiple predicates and aspects apply;

          generalized it.

51.e/4
          {<AI12-0099-1AI12-0099-1>} Corrigendum: Revised wording to

          eliminate confusion about whether not is included.

3.3 Objects and Named Numbers
=============================

1
[Objects are created at run time and contain a value of a given type.
An object can be created and initialized as part of elaborating a
declaration, evaluating an allocator, aggregate, or function_call, or
passing a parameter by copy.  Prior to reclaiming the storage for an
object, it is finalized if necessary (see *note 7.6.1::).]

                          _Static Semantics_

2
All of the following are objects:

2.a
          Glossary entry: An object is either a constant or a variable.
          An object contains a value.  An object is created by an
          object_declaration or by an allocator.  A formal parameter is
          (a view of) an object.  A subcomponent of an object is an
          object.

3
   * the entity declared by an object_declaration;

4
   * a formal parameter of a subprogram, entry, or generic subprogram;

5
   * a generic formal object;

6
   * a loop parameter;

7
   * a choice parameter of an exception_handler;

8
   * an entry index of an entry_body;

9
   * the result of dereferencing an access-to-object value (see *note
     4.1::);

10/3
   * {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>} {<AI05-0015-1AI05-0015-1>} the
     return object of a function;

11
   * the result of evaluating an aggregate;

11.1/3
   * {<AI05-0003-1AI05-0003-1>} a qualified_expression whose operand
     denotes an object;

12
   * a component, slice, or view conversion of another object.

13/3
{<AI05-0054-2AI05-0054-2>} An object is either a <constant> object or a
<variable> object.  Similarly, a view of an object is either a
<constant> or a <variable>.  All views of a constant elementary object
are constant.  All views of a constant composite object are constant,
except for parts that are of controlled or immutably limited types;
variable views of those parts and their subcomponents may exist.  In
this sense, objects of controlled and immutably limited types are
<inherently mutable>.  A constant view of an object cannot be used to
modify its value.  The terms constant and variable by themselves refer
to constant and variable views of objects.

14
The value of an object is <read> when the value of any part of the
object is evaluated, or when the value of an enclosing object is
evaluated.  The value of a variable is <updated> when an assignment is
performed to any part of the variable, or when an assignment is
performed to an enclosing object.

14.a
          Ramification: Reading and updating are intended to include
          read/write references of any kind, even if they are not
          associated with the evaluation of a particular construct.
          Consider, for example, the expression "X.all(F)", where X is
          an access-to-array object, and F is a function.  The
          implementation is allowed to first evaluate "X.all" and then
          F. Finally, a read is performed to get the value of the F'th
          component of the array.  Note that the array is not
          necessarily read as part of the evaluation of "X.all".  This
          is important, because if F were to free X using
          Unchecked_Deallocation, we want the execution of the final
          read to be erroneous.

15
Whether a view of an object is constant or variable is determined by the
definition of the view.  The following (and no others) represent
constants:

16
   * an object declared by an object_declaration with the reserved word
     constant;

16.a/2
          To be honest: {<AI95-00385-01AI95-00385-01>} We mean the word
          constant as defined by the grammar for object_declaration, not
          some random word constant.  Thus,

16.b/2
               X : access constant T;

16.c/2
          is not a constant.

17
   * a formal parameter or generic formal object of mode in;

18
   * a discriminant;

18.1/3
   * {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} a loop parameter unless specified to be
     a variable for a generalized loop (see *note 5.5.2::);

19/3
   * {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} a choice parameter or entry index;

20
   * the dereference of an access-to-constant value;

20.1/3
   * {<AI05-0015-1AI05-0015-1>} the return object declared by an
     extended_return_statement with the reserved word constant;

21/3
   * {<AI05-0015-1AI05-0015-1>} the object denoted by a function_call or
     an aggregate;

21.1/3
   * {<AI05-0003-1AI05-0003-1>} the result of evaluating a
     qualified_expression;

21.2/3
   * {<AI05-0120-1AI05-0120-1>} within the body of a protected function
     (or a function declared immediately within a protected_body), the
     current instance of the enclosing protected unit;

22
   * a selected_component, indexed_component, slice, or view conversion
     of a constant.

23/3
{<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} At the place where a view of an object is
defined, a <nominal subtype> is associated with the view.  The object's
<actual subtype> (that is, its subtype) can be more restrictive than the
nominal subtype of the view; it always is if the nominal subtype is an
<indefinite subtype>.  A subtype is an indefinite subtype if it is an
unconstrained array subtype, or if it has unknown discriminants or
unconstrained discriminants without defaults (see *note 3.7::);
otherwise, the subtype is a <definite> subtype [(all elementary subtypes
are definite subtypes)].  [A class-wide subtype is defined to have
unknown discriminants, and is therefore an indefinite subtype.  An
indefinite subtype does not by itself provide enough information to
create an object; an additional constraint or explicit initialization
expression is necessary (see *note 3.3.1::).  A component cannot have an
indefinite nominal subtype.]

23.1/3
{<AI05-0008-1AI05-0008-1>} A view of a composite object is <known to be
constrained> if:

23.2/3
   * its nominal subtype is constrained, and is not an untagged partial
     view; or

23.3/3
   * its nominal subtype is indefinite; or

23.4/3
   * {<AI05-0008-1AI05-0008-1>} {<AI05-0093-1AI05-0093-1>} its type is
     immutably limited (see *note 7.5::); or

23.5/3
   * it is part of a stand-alone constant (including a generic formal
     object of mode in); or

23.6/3
   * it is part of a formal parameter of mode in; or

23.7/3
   * it is part of the object denoted by a function_call or aggregate;
     or

23.8/3
   * it is part of a constant return object of an
     extended_return_statement; or

23.9/3
   * {<AI05-0008-1AI05-0008-1>} {<AI05-0041-1AI05-0041-1>} it is a
     dereference of a pool-specific access type, and there is no
     ancestor of its type that has a constrained partial view.

23.a/3
          Discussion: We do not include dereferences of general access
          types because they might denote stand-alone aliased
          unconstrained variables.  That's true even for
          access-to-constant types (the denoted object does not have to
          be a constant).

23.b/3
          {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} {<AI05-0008-1AI05-0008-1>} There
          are other cases that could have been included in this
          definition (view conversions, the current instance of a type,
          objects of a formal discriminated private type), but these are
          not relevant to the places this term is used, so they were not
          included.  If this term is used in additional places, the
          definition should be checked to see if any of these additional
          cases are relevant and appropriate wording added if necessary.

23.10/3
{<AI05-0008-1AI05-0008-1>} {<AI05-0041-1AI05-0041-1>} For the purposes
of determining within a generic body whether an object is known to be
constrained:

23.11/3
   * if a subtype is a descendant of an untagged generic formal private
     or derived type, and the subtype is not an unconstrained array
     subtype, it is not considered indefinite and is considered to have
     a constrained partial view;

23.12/3
   * if a subtype is a descendant of a formal access type, it is not
     considered pool-specific.

24
A <named number> provides a name for a numeric value known at compile
time.  It is declared by a number_declaration.

     NOTES

25
     10  A constant cannot be the target of an assignment operation, nor
     be passed as an in out or out parameter, between its initialization
     and finalization, if any.

25.1/3
     11  {<AI05-0054-2AI05-0054-2>} The value of a constant object
     cannot be changed after its initialization, except in some cases
     where the object has a controlled or immutably limited part (see
     *note 7.5::, *note 7.6::, and *note 13.9.1::).

26/3
     12  {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} The nominal and actual subtypes of
     an elementary object are always the same.  For a discriminated or
     array object, if the nominal subtype is constrained, then so is the
     actual subtype.

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

26.a
          There are additional kinds of objects (choice parameters and
          entry indices of entry bodies).

26.b
          The result of a function and of evaluating an aggregate are
          considered (constant) objects.  This is necessary to explain
          the action of finalization on such things.  Because a
          function_call is also syntactically a name (see *note 4.1::),
          the result of a function_call can be renamed, thereby allowing
          repeated use of the result without calling the function again.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

26.c/3
          {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} This subclause now follows the
          subclauses on types and subtypes, to cut down on the number of
          forward references.

26.d
          The term nominal subtype is new.  It is used to distinguish
          what is known at compile time about an object's constraint,
          versus what its "true" run-time constraint is.

26.e
          The terms definite and indefinite (which apply to subtypes)
          are new.  They are used to aid in the description of generic
          formal type matching, and to specify when an explicit initial
          value is required in an object_declaration.

26.f
          We have moved the syntax for object_declaration and
          number_declaration down into their respective subclauses, to
          keep the syntax close to the description of the associated
          semantics.

26.g
          We talk about variables and constants here, since the
          discussion is not specific to object_declarations, and it
          seems better to have the list of the kinds of constants
          juxtaposed with the kinds of objects.

26.h
          We no longer talk about indirect updating due to parameter
          passing.  Parameter passing is handled in 6.2 and 6.4.1 in a
          way that there is no need to mention it here in the definition
          of read and update.  Reading and updating now includes the
          case of evaluating or assigning to an enclosing object.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

26.i/2
          {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>} Clarified that the return
          object is the object created by a function call.

                       _Extensions to Ada 2005_

26.j/3
          {<AI05-0015-1AI05-0015-1>} Added wording to allow return
          objects to be declared as constants, and corrected the
          definition of return objects as objects.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

26.k/3
          {<AI05-0008-1AI05-0008-1>} {<AI05-0041-1AI05-0041-1>}
          {<AI05-0093-1AI05-0093-1>} Correction: Added a definition of
          <known to be constrained>, for use in other rules.

26.l/3
          {<AI05-0054-2AI05-0054-2>} Correction: We now recognize the
          fact that not all declared constant objects are immutable; for
          those that a variable view can be constructed, they can be
          changed via that view.

26.m/3
          {<AI05-0120-1AI05-0120-1>} Correction: Added the current
          instance of a protected object to the list of constant views;
          since the list claims to include all possibilities, it had
          better include that one.

26.n/3
          {<AI05-0003-1AI05-0003-1>} The result of a
          qualified_expression is defined to be a constant view and is
          defined to be an object if the operand of the
          qualified_expression is an object.  These definitions,
          combined with some grammar changes, allow
          qualified_expressions to be used in more places.  See *note

3.3.1 Object Declarations
-------------------------

1/3
{<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} An object_declaration declares a
<stand-alone> object with a given nominal subtype and, optionally, an
explicit initial value given by an initialization expression.  For an
array, access, task, or protected object, the object_declaration may
include the definition of the (anonymous) type of the object.

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

4
For an object_declaration with an expression following the compound
delimiter :=, the type expected for the expression is that of the
object.  This expression is called the <initialization expression>.  

                           _Legality Rules_

5/2
{<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>} An object_declaration without the
reserved word constant declares a variable object.  If it has a
subtype_indication or an array_type_definition that defines an
indefinite subtype, then there shall be an initialization expression.

                          _Static Semantics_

6/3
{<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} An
object_declaration with the reserved word constant declares a constant
object.  If it has an initialization expression, then it is called a
<full constant declaration>.  Otherwise, it is called a <deferred
constant declaration>.  The rules for deferred constant declarations are
given in subclause *note 7.4::.  The rules for full constant
declarations are given in this subclause.

7
Any declaration that includes a defining_identifier_list with more than
one defining_identifier is equivalent to a series of declarations each
containing one defining_identifier from the list, with the rest of the
text of the declaration copied for each declaration in the series, in
the same order as the list.  The remainder of this International
Standard relies on this equivalence; explanations are given for
declarations with a single defining_identifier.

8/2
{<AI95-00385-01AI95-00385-01>} The subtype_indication,
access_definition, or full type definition of an object_declaration
defines the nominal subtype of the object.  The object_declaration
declares an object of the type of the nominal subtype.

8.a/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00385-01AI95-00385-01>} The phrase "full
          type definition" here includes the case of an anonymous array,
          access, task, or protected type.

8.1/2
{<AI95-00373-01AI95-00373-01>} A component of an object is said to
<require late initialization> if it has an access discriminant value
constrained by a per-object expression, or if it has an initialization
expression that includes a name denoting the current instance of the
type or denoting an access discriminant.

8.b/2
          Reason: Such components can depend on the values of other
          components of the object.  We want to initialize them as late
          and as reproducibly as possible.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

9/2
{<AI95-00363-01AI95-00363-01>} If a composite object declared by an
object_declaration has an unconstrained nominal subtype, then if this
subtype is indefinite or the object is constant the actual subtype of
this object is constrained.  The constraint is determined by the bounds
or discriminants (if any) of its initial value; the object is said to be
<constrained by its initial value>.  When not constrained by its initial
value, the actual and nominal subtypes of the object are the same.  If
its actual subtype is constrained, the object is called a <constrained
object>.

10
For an object_declaration without an initialization expression, any
initial values for the object or its subcomponents are determined by the
<implicit initial values> defined for its nominal subtype, as follows:

11
   * The implicit initial value for an access subtype is the null value
     of the access type.

11.1/3
   * {<AI05-0228-1AI05-0228-1>} The implicit initial value for a scalar
     subtype that has the Default_Value aspect specified is the value of
     that aspect converted to the nominal subtype (which might raise
     Constraint_Error -- see *note 4.6::, "*note 4.6:: Type
     Conversions");

11.a.1/3
          Ramification: This is a Dynamic Semantics rule, so the
          visibility of the aspect_specification is not relevant -- if
          the full type for a private type has the Default_Value aspect
          specified, partial views of the type also have this implicit
          initial value.

12
   * The implicit initial (and only) value for each discriminant of a
     constrained discriminated subtype is defined by the subtype.

13/3
   * {<AI05-0228-1AI05-0228-1>} For a (definite) composite subtype, the
     implicit initial value of each component with a default_expression
     is obtained by evaluation of this expression and conversion to the
     component's nominal subtype (which might raise Constraint_Error),
     unless the component is a discriminant of a constrained subtype
     (the previous case), or is in an excluded variant (see *note
     3.8.1::).  For each component that does not have a
     default_expression, if the composite subtype has the
     Default_Component_Value aspect specified, the implicit initial
     value is the value of that aspect converted to the component's
     nominal subtype; otherwise, any implicit initial values are those
     determined by the component's nominal subtype.

14
   * For a protected or task subtype, there is an implicit component (an
     entry queue) corresponding to each entry, with its implicit initial
     value being an empty queue.

14.a
          Implementation Note: The implementation may add implicit
          components for its own use, which might have implicit initial
          values.  For a task subtype, such components might represent
          the state of the associated thread of control.  For a type
          with dynamic-sized components, such implicit components might
          be used to hold the offset to some explicit component.

The elaboration of an object_declaration proceeds in the following
sequence of steps:

16/2
     1.  {<AI95-00385-01AI95-00385-01>} The subtype_indication (*note
     3.2.2: S0027.), access_definition (*note 3.10: S0084.),
     array_type_definition (*note 3.6: S0051.), single_task_declaration
     (*note 9.1: S0206.), or single_protected_declaration (*note 9.4:
     S0211.) is first elaborated.  This creates the nominal subtype (and
     the anonymous type in the last four cases).

17
     2.  If the object_declaration includes an initialization
     expression, the (explicit) initial value is obtained by evaluating
     the expression and converting it to the nominal subtype (which
     might raise Constraint_Error -- see *note 4.6::).  

18/2
     3.  {<8652/00028652/0002>} {<AI95-00171-01AI95-00171-01>}
     {<AI95-00373-01AI95-00373-01>} The object is created, and, if there
     is not an initialization expression, the object is <initialized by
     default>.  When an object is initialized by default, any per-object
     constraints (see *note 3.8::) are elaborated and any implicit
     initial values for the object or for its subcomponents are obtained
     as determined by the nominal subtype.  Any initial values (whether
     explicit or implicit) are assigned to the object or to the
     corresponding subcomponents.  As described in *note 5.2:: and *note
     7.6::, Initialize and Adjust procedures can be called.  

18.a
          Discussion: For a per-object constraint that contains some
          per-object expressions and some non-per-object expressions,
          the values used for the constraint consist of the values of
          the non-per-object expressions evaluated at the point of the
          type_declaration, and the values of the per-object expressions
          evaluated at the point of the creation of the object.

18.b
          The elaboration of per-object constraints was presumably
          performed as part of the dependent compatibility check in Ada
          83.  If the object is of a limited type with an access
          discriminant, the access_definition is elaborated at this time
          (see *note 3.7::).

18.c
          Reason: The reason we say that evaluating an explicit
          initialization expression happens before creating the object
          is that in some cases it is impossible to know the size of the
          object being created until its initial value is known, as in
          "X: String := Func_Call(...);".  The implementation can create
          the object early in the common case where the size can be
          known early, since this optimization is semantically neutral.

19/2
       <This paragraph was deleted.>{<AI95-00373-01AI95-00373-01>}

19.a
          Ramification: Since the initial values have already been
          converted to the appropriate nominal subtype, the only
          Constraint_Errors that might occur as part of these
          assignments are for values outside their base range that are
          used to initialize unconstrained numeric subcomponents.  See
          *note 3.5::.

20/2
{<AI95-00373-01AI95-00373-01>} For the third step above, evaluations and
assignments are performed in an arbitrary order subject to the following
restrictions:

20.1/2
   * {<AI95-00373-01AI95-00373-01>} Assignment to any part of the object
     is preceded by the evaluation of the value that is to be assigned.

20.a.1/2
          Reason: Duh.  But we ought to say it.  Note that, like any
          rule in the International Standard, it doesn't prevent an
          "as-if" optimization; as long as the semantics as observed
          from the program are correct, the compiler can generate any
          code it wants.

20.2/2
   * {<AI95-00373-01AI95-00373-01>} The evaluation of a
     default_expression that includes the name of a discriminant is
     preceded by the assignment to that discriminant.

20.a.2/2
          Reason: Duh again.  But we have to say this, too.  It's odd
          that Ada 95 only required the default expressions to be
          evaluated before the discriminant is used; it says nothing
          about discriminant values that come from subtype_indications.

20.3/2
   * {<AI95-00373-01AI95-00373-01>} The evaluation of the
     default_expression for any component that depends on a discriminant
     is preceded by the assignment to that discriminant.

20.a
          Reason: For example:

20.b
               type R(D : Integer := F) is
                   record
                       S : String(1..D) := (others => G);
                   end record;

20.c
               X : R;

20.d
          For the elaboration of the declaration of X, it is important
          that F be evaluated before the aggregate.

20.4/3
   * {<AI95-00373-01AI95-00373-01>} {<AI05-0092-1AI05-0092-1>} The
     assignments to any components, including implicit components, not
     requiring late initialization precede the initial value evaluations
     for any components requiring late initialization; if two components
     both require late initialization, then assignments to parts of the
     component occurring earlier in the order of the component
     declarations precede the initial value evaluations of the component
     occurring later.

20.e/2
          Reason: Components that require late initialization can refer
          to the entire object during their initialization.  We want
          them to be initialized as late as possible to reduce the
          chance that their initialization depends on uninitialized
          components.  For instance:

20.f/2
               type T (D : Natural) is
                 limited record
                   C1 : T1 (T'Access);
                   C2 : Natural := F (D);
                   C3 : String (1 .. D) := (others => ' ');
                 end record;

20.g/2
          Component C1 requires late initialization.  The initialization
          could depend on the values of any component of T, including D,
          C2, or C3.  Therefore, we want to it to be initialized last.
          Note that C2 and C3 do not require late initialization; they
          only have to be initialized after D.

20.h/2
          It is possible for there to be more than one component that
          requires late initialization.  In this case, the language
          can't prevent problems, because all of the components can't be
          the last one initialized.  In this case, we specify the order
          of initialization for components requiring late
          initialization; by doing so, programmers can arrange their
          code to avoid accessing uninitialized components, and such
          arrangements are portable.  Note that if the program accesses
          an uninitialized component, *note 13.9.1:: defines the
          execution to be erroneous.

21/3
{<AI05-0228-1AI05-0228-1>} [There is no implicit initial value defined
for a scalar subtype unless the Default_Value aspect has been specified
for the type.]  In the absence of an explicit initialization or the
specification of the Default_Value aspect, a newly created scalar object
might have a value that does not belong to its subtype (see *note
13.9.1:: and *note H.1::).

21.a
          To be honest: It could even be represented by a bit pattern
          that doesn't actually represent any value of the type at all,
          such as an invalid internal code for an enumeration type, or a
          NaN for a floating point type.  It is a generally a bounded
          error to reference scalar objects with such "invalid
          representations", as explained in *note 13.9.1::, "*note
          13.9.1:: Data Validity".

21.b
          Ramification: There is no requirement that two objects of the
          same scalar subtype have the same implicit initial "value" (or
          representation).  It might even be the case that two
          elaborations of the same object_declaration produce two
          different initial values.  However, any particular
          uninitialized object is default-initialized to a single value
          (or invalid representation).  Thus, multiple reads of such an
          uninitialized object will produce the same value each time (if
          the implementation chooses not to detect the error).

     NOTES

22
     13  Implicit initial values are not defined for an indefinite
     subtype, because if an object's nominal subtype is indefinite, an
     explicit initial value is required.

23/3
     14  {<AI05-0092-1AI05-0092-1>} {<AI05-0255-1AI05-0255-1>} As
     indicated above, a stand-alone object is an object declared by an
     object_declaration.  Similar definitions apply to "stand-alone
     constant" and "stand-alone variable."  A subcomponent of an object
     is not a stand-alone object, nor is an object that is created by an
     allocator.  An object declared by a loop_parameter_specification,
     iterator_specification, parameter_specification,
     entry_index_specification, choice_parameter_specification,
     extended_return_statement, or a formal_object_declaration of mode
     in out is not considered a stand-alone object.

24
     15  The type of a stand-alone object cannot be abstract (see *note
     3.9.3::).

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

33.a
          The syntax rule for object_declaration is modified to allow
          the aliased reserved word.

33.b
          A variable declared by an object_declaration can be
          constrained by its initial value; that is, a variable of a
          nominally unconstrained array subtype, or discriminated type
          without defaults, can be declared so long as it has an
          explicit initial value.  In Ada 83, this was permitted for
          constants, and for variables created by allocators, but not
          for variables declared by object_declarations.  This is
          particularly important for tagged class-wide types, since
          there is no way to constrain them explicitly, and so an
          initial value is the only way to provide a constraint.  It is
          also important for generic formal private types with unknown
          discriminants.

33.c
          We now allow an unconstrained_array_definition in an
          object_declaration.  This allows an object of an anonymous
          array type to have its bounds determined by its initial value.
          This is for uniformity: If one can write "X: constant
          array(Integer range 1..10) of Integer := ...;" then it makes
          sense to also allow "X: constant array(Integer range <>) of
          Integer := ...;".  (Note that if anonymous array types are
          ever sensible, a common situation is for a table implemented
          as an array.  Tables are often constant, and for constants,
          there's usually no point in forcing the user to count the
          number of elements in the value.)

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

33.d
          We have moved the syntax for object_declarations into this
          subclause.

33.e
          Deferred constants no longer have a separate syntax rule, but
          rather are incorporated in object_declaration as constants
          declared without an initialization expression.

                     _Inconsistencies With Ada 95_

33.f/2
          {<AI95-00363-01AI95-00363-01>} Unconstrained aliased objects
          of types with discriminants with defaults are no longer
          constrained by their initial values.  This means that a
          program that raised Constraint_Error from an attempt to change
          the discriminants will no longer do so.  The change only
          affects programs that depended on the raising of
          Constraint_Error in this case, so the inconsistency is
          unlikely to occur outside of the ACATS. This change may
          however cause compilers to implement these objects
          differently, possibly taking additional memory or time.  This
          is unlikely to be worse than the differences caused by any
          major compiler upgrade.

                        _Extensions to Ada 95_

33.g/2
          {<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>} A constant may have a limited
          type; the initialization expression has to be built-in-place

          constraints are elaborated (not evaluated).

33.j/2
          {<AI95-00373-01AI95-00373-01>} The rules for evaluating
          default initialization have been tightened.  In particular,
          components whose default initialization can refer to the rest
          of the object are required to be initialized last.

3.3.2 Number Declarations
-------------------------

A number_declaration declares a named number.

1.a/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} If a value or other
          property of a construct is required to be <static> that means
          it is required to be determined prior to execution.  A
          <static> expression is an expression whose value is computed
          at compile time and is usable in contexts where the actual
          value might affect the legality of the construct.  This is
          fully defined in subclause *note 4.9::.

3
The <static_>expression given for a number_declaration is expected to be
of any numeric type.

4/3
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} The <static_>expression given for a number
declaration shall be a static expression, as defined by subclause *note
4.9::.

                          _Static Semantics_

5
The named number denotes a value of type <universal_integer> if the type
of the <static_>expression is an integer type.  The named number denotes
a value of type <universal_real> if the type of the <static_>expression
is a real type.

6
The value denoted by the named number is the value of the
<static_>expression, converted to the corresponding universal type.  

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

7
The elaboration of a number_declaration has no effect.

7.a
          Proof: Since the <static_>expression was evaluated at compile
          time.

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

10.a
          We now allow a static expression of any numeric type to
          initialize a named number.  For integer types, it was possible
          in Ada 83 to use 'Pos to define a named number, but there was
          no way to use a static expression of some nonuniversal real
          type to define a named number.  This change is upward
          compatible because of the preference rule for the operators of
          the root numeric types.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

10.b
          We have moved the syntax rule into this subclause.

10.c
          AI83-00263 describes the elaboration of a number declaration
          in words similar to that of an object_declaration.  However,
          since there is no expression to be evaluated and no object to
          be created, it seems simpler to say that the elaboration has
          no effect.

3.4 Derived Types and Classes
=============================

1/2
{<AI95-00401-01AI95-00401-01>} {<AI95-00419-01AI95-00419-01>} A
derived_type_definition defines a <derived type> (and its first subtype)
whose characteristics are <derived> from those of a parent type, and
possibly from progenitor types.  

1.a/2
          Glossary entry: A derived type is a type defined in terms of
          one or more other types given in a derived type definition.
          The first of those types is the parent type of the derived
          type and any others are progenitor types.  Each class
          containing the parent type or a progenitor type also contains
          the derived type.  The derived type inherits properties such
          as components and primitive operations from the parent and
          progenitors.  A type together with the types derived from it
          (directly or indirectly) form a derivation class.

1.1/2
{<AI95-00442-01AI95-00442-01>} A <class of types> is a set of types that
is closed under derivation; that is, if the parent or a progenitor type
of a derived type belongs to a class, then so does the derived type.  By
saying that a particular group of types forms a class, we are saying
that all derivatives of a type in the set inherit the characteristics
that define that set.  The more general term <category of types> is used
for a set of types whose defining characteristics are not necessarily
inherited by derivatives; for example, limited, abstract, and interface
are all categories of types, but not classes of types.

1.b/2
          Ramification: A class of types is also a category of types.

{<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} {<AI95-00401-01AI95-00401-01>}
{<AI95-00419-01AI95-00419-01>} The <parent_>subtype_indication defines
the <parent subtype>; its type is the <parent type>.  The interface_list
defines the progenitor types (see *note 3.9.4::).  A derived type has
one parent type and zero or more progenitor types.

3.a/2
          Glossary entry: The parent of a derived type is the first type
          given in the definition of the derived type.  The parent can
          be almost any kind of type, including an interface type.

4
A type shall be completely defined (see *note 3.11.1::) prior to being
specified as the parent type in a derived_type_definition -- [the
full_type_declarations for the parent type and any of its subcomponents
have to precede the derived_type_definition.]

4.a
          Discussion: This restriction does not apply to the ancestor
          type of a private extension -- see *note 7.3::; such a type
          need not be completely defined prior to the
          private_extension_declaration.  However, the restriction does
          apply to record extensions, so the ancestor type will have to
          be completely defined prior to the full_type_declaration
          corresponding to the private_extension_declaration.

4.b
          Reason: We originally hoped we could relax this restriction.
          However, we found it too complex to specify the rules for a
          type derived from an incompletely defined limited type that
          subsequently became nonlimited.

5/2
{<AI95-00401-01AI95-00401-01>} If there is a record_extension_part, the
derived type is called a <record extension> of the parent type.  A
record_extension_part shall be provided if and only if the parent type
is a tagged type.  [An interface_list shall be provided only if the
parent type is a tagged type.]

5.a.1/2
          Proof: {<AI95-00401-01AI95-00401-01>} The syntax only allows
          an interface_list to appear with a record_extension_part, and
          a record_extension_part can only be provided if the parent
          type is a tagged type.  We give the last sentence anyway for
          completeness.

5.a
          Implementation Note: We allow a record extension to inherit
          discriminants; an early version of Ada 9X did not.  If the
          parent subtype is unconstrained, it can be implemented as
          though its discriminants were repeated in a new
          known_discriminant_part and then used to constrain the old
          ones one-for-one.  However, in an extension aggregate, the
          discriminants in this case do not appear in the component
          association list.

5.b/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} This rule needs
          to be rechecked in the visible part of an instance of a
          generic unit because of the "only if" part of the rule.  For
          example:

5.c/2
               generic
                  type T is private;
               package P is
                  type Der is new T;
               end P;

5.d/2
               package I is new P (Some_Tagged_Type); -- <illegal>

5.e/2
          {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} The instantiation is illegal
          because a tagged type is being extended in the visible part
          without a record_extension_part.  Note that this is legal in
          the private part or body of an instance, both to avoid a
          contract model violation, and because no code that can see
          that the type is actually tagged can also see the derived type
          declaration.

5.f/2
          No recheck is needed for derived types with a
          record_extension_part, as that has to be derived from
          something that is known to be tagged (otherwise the template
          is illegal).

5.1/3
{<AI95-00419-01AI95-00419-01>} {<AI05-0096-1AI05-0096-1>} If the
reserved word limited appears in a derived_type_definition, the parent
type shall be a limited type.  If the parent type is a tagged formal
type, then in addition to the places where Legality Rules normally apply
(see *note 12.3::), this rule applies also in the private part of an
instance of a generic unit.

5.g/2
          Reason: We allow limited because we don't inherit limitedness
          from interfaces, so we must have a way to derive a limited
          type from interfaces.  The word limited has to be legal when
          the parent <could be> an interface, and that includes generic
          formal abstract types.  Since we have to allow it in this
          case, we might as well allow it everywhere as documentation,
          to make it explicit that the type is limited.

5.h/2
          However, we do not want to allow limited when the parent is
          nonlimited: limitedness cannot change in a derivation tree.

5.i/3
          If the parent type is an untagged limited formal type with an
          actual type that is nonlimited, we allow derivation as a
          limited type in the private part or body as no place could
          have visibility on the resulting type where it was known to be
          nonlimited (outside of the instance).  (See the previous
          paragraph's annotations for an explanation of this.)  However,
          if the parent type is a tagged limited formal type with an
          actual type that is nonlimited, it would be possible to pass a
          value of the limited type extension to a class-wide type of
          the parent, which would be nonlimited.  That's too weird to
          allow (even though all of the extension components would have
          to be nonlimited because the rules of *note 3.9.1:: are
          rechecked), so we have a special rule to prevent that in the
          private part (type extension from a formal type is illegal in
          a generic package body).

                          _Static Semantics_

6
The first subtype of the derived type is unconstrained if a
known_discriminant_part is provided in the declaration of the derived
type, or if the parent subtype is unconstrained.  Otherwise, the
constraint of the first subtype <corresponds> to that of the parent
subtype in the following sense: it is the same as that of the parent
subtype except that for a range constraint (implicit or explicit), the
value of each bound of its range is replaced by the corresponding value
of the derived type.

6.a
          Discussion: A digits_constraint in a subtype_indication for a
          decimal fixed point subtype always imposes a range constraint,
          implicitly if there is no explicit one given.  See *note
          3.5.9::, "*note 3.5.9:: Fixed Point Types".

6.1/2
{<AI95-00231-01AI95-00231-01>} The first subtype of the derived type
excludes null (see *note 3.10::) if and only if the parent subtype
excludes null.

7/3
{<AI05-0110-1AI05-0110-1>} The <characteristics> and implicitly declared
primitive subprograms of the derived type are defined as follows:

7.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0110-1AI05-0110-1>} The characteristics
          of a type do not include its primitive subprograms (primitive
          subprograms include predefined operators).  The rules
          governing availability/visibility and inheritance of
          characteristics are separate from those for primitive
          subprograms.

     {<AI95-00442-01AI95-00442-01>} [If the parent type or a progenitor
     type belongs to a class of types, then the derived type also
     belongs to that class.]  The following sets of types, as well as
     any higher-level sets composed from them, are classes in this
     sense[, and hence the characteristics defining these classes are
     inherited by derived types from their parent or progenitor types]:
     signed integer, modular integer, ordinary fixed, decimal fixed,
     floating point, enumeration, boolean, character,
     access-to-constant, general access-to-variable, pool-specific
     access-to-variable, access-to-subprogram, array, string, non-array
     composite, nonlimited, untagged record, tagged, task, protected,
     and synchronized tagged.

8.a
          Discussion: This is inherent in our notion of a "class" of
          types.  It is not mentioned in the initial definition of
          "class" since at that point type derivation has not been
          defined.  In any case, this rule ensures that every class of
          types is closed under derivation.

9
   * If the parent type is an elementary type or an array type, then the
     set of possible values of the derived type is a copy of the set of
     possible values of the parent type.  For a scalar type, the base
     range of the derived type is the same as that of the parent type.

9.a
          Discussion: The base range of a type defined by an
          integer_type_definition or a real_type_definition is
          determined by the _definition, and is not necessarily the same
          as that of the corresponding root numeric type from which the
          newly defined type is implicitly derived.  Treating numerics
          types as implicitly derived from one of the two root numeric
          types is simply to link them into a type hierarchy; such an
          implicit derivation does not follow all the rules given here
          for an explicit derived_type_definition.

10
   * If the parent type is a composite type other than an array type,
     then the components, protected subprograms, and entries that are
     declared for the derived type are as follows:

11
             * The discriminants specified by a new
               known_discriminant_part, if there is one; otherwise, each
               discriminant of the parent type (implicitly declared in
               the same order with the same specifications) -- in the
               latter case, the discriminants are said to be
               <inherited>, or if unknown in the parent, are also
               unknown in the derived type;

12
             * Each nondiscriminant component, entry, and protected
               subprogram of the parent type, implicitly declared in the
               same order with the same declarations; these components,
               entries, and protected subprograms are said to be
               <inherited>;

12.a
          Ramification: The profiles of entries and protected
          subprograms do not change upon type derivation, although the
          type of the "implicit" parameter identified by the prefix of
          the name in a call does.

12.b
          To be honest: Any name in the parent type_declaration that
          denotes the current instance of the type is replaced with a
          name denoting the current instance of the derived type,
          converted to the parent type.

13
             * Each component declared in a record_extension_part, if
               any.

14
     Declarations of components, protected subprograms, and entries,
     whether implicit or explicit, occur immediately within the
     declarative region of the type, in the order indicated above,
     following the parent subtype_indication.

14.a
          Discussion: The order of declarations within the region
          matters for record_aggregates and extension_aggregates.

14.b
          Ramification: In most cases, these things are implicitly
          declared <immediately> following the parent
          subtype_indication.  However, *note 7.3.1::, "*note 7.3.1::
          Private Operations" defines some cases in which they are
          implicitly declared later, and some cases in which the are not
          declared at all.

14.c
          Discussion: The place of the implicit declarations of
          inherited components matters for visibility -- they are not
          visible in the known_discriminant_part nor in the parent
          subtype_indication, but are usually visible within the
          record_extension_part, if any (although there are restrictions
          on their use).  Note that a discriminant specified in a new
          known_discriminant_part is not considered "inherited" even if
          it has the same name and subtype as a discriminant of the
          parent type.

   * <This paragraph was deleted.>{<AI95-00419-01AI95-00419-01>}

16
   * [For each predefined operator of the parent type, there is a
     corresponding predefined operator of the derived type.]

16.a
          Proof: This is a ramification of the fact that each class that
          includes the parent type also includes the derived type, and
          the fact that the set of predefined operators that is defined
          for a type, as described in *note 4.5::, is determined by the
          classes to which it belongs.

16.b
          Reason: Predefined operators are handled separately because
          they follow a slightly different rule than user-defined
          primitive subprograms.  In particular the systematic
          replacement described below does not apply fully to the
          relational operators for Boolean and the exponentiation
          operator for Integer.  The relational operators for a type
          derived from Boolean still return Standard.Boolean.  The
          exponentiation operator for a type derived from Integer still
          expects Standard.Integer for the right operand.  In addition,
          predefined operators "reemerge" when a type is the actual type
          corresponding to a generic formal type, so they need to be
          well defined even if hidden by user-defined primitive
          subprograms.

17/2
   * {<AI95-00401-01AI95-00401-01>} For each user-defined primitive
     subprogram (other than a user-defined equality operator -- see
     below) of the parent type or of a progenitor type that already
     exists at the place of the derived_type_definition, there exists a
     corresponding <inherited> primitive subprogram of the derived type
     with the same defining name.  Primitive user-defined equality
     operators of the parent type and any progenitor types are also
     inherited by the derived type, except when the derived type is a
     nonlimited record extension, and the inherited operator would have
     a profile that is type conformant with the profile of the
     corresponding predefined equality operator; in this case, the
     user-defined equality operator is not inherited, but is rather
     incorporated into the implementation of the predefined equality
     operator of the record extension (see *note 4.5.2::).  

17.a
          Ramification: We say "...already exists..."  rather than "is
          visible" or "has been declared" because there are certain
          operations that are declared later, but still exist at the
          place of the derived_type_definition, and there are operations
          that are never declared, but still exist.  These cases are
          explained in *note 7.3.1::.

17.b
          Note that nonprivate extensions can appear only after the last
          primitive subprogram of the parent -- the freezing rules
          ensure this.

17.c
          Reason: A special case is made for the equality operators on
          nonlimited record extensions because their predefined equality
          operators are already defined in terms of the primitive
          equality operator of their parent type (and of the tagged
          components of the extension part).  Inheriting the parent's
          equality operator as is would be undesirable, because it would
          ignore any components of the extension part.  On the other
          hand, if the parent type is limited, then any user-defined
          equality operator is inherited as is, since there is no
          predefined equality operator to take its place.

17.d/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} Because
          user-defined equality operators are not inherited by
          nonlimited record extensions, the formal parameter names of =
          and /= revert to Left and Right, even if different formal
          parameter names were used in the user-defined equality
          operators of the parent type.

17.e/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00401-01AI95-00401-01>} This rule only
          describes what operations are inherited; the rules that
          describe what happens when there are conflicting inherited
          subprograms are found in *note 8.3::.

     {<AI95-00401-01AI95-00401-01>} {<AI05-0164-1AI05-0164-1>}
     {<AI05-0240-1AI05-0240-1>} The profile of an inherited subprogram
     (including an inherited enumeration literal) is obtained from the
     profile of the corresponding (user-defined) primitive subprogram of
     the parent or progenitor type, after systematic replacement of each
     subtype of its profile (see *note 6.1::) that is of the parent or
     progenitor type, other than those subtypes found in the designated
     profile of an access_definition, with a <corresponding subtype> of
     the derived type.  For a given subtype of the parent or progenitor
     type, the corresponding subtype of the derived type is defined as
     follows:

19
             * If the declaration of the derived type has neither a
               known_discriminant_part nor a record_extension_part, then
               the corresponding subtype has a constraint that
               corresponds (as defined above for the first subtype of
               the derived type) to that of the given subtype.

20
             * If the derived type is a record extension, then the
               corresponding subtype is the first subtype of the derived
               type.

21
             * If the derived type has a new known_discriminant_part but
               is not a record extension, then the corresponding subtype
               is constrained to those values that when converted to the
               parent type belong to the given subtype (see *note
               4.6::).  

21.a
          Reason: An inherited subprogram of an untagged type has an
          Intrinsic calling convention, which precludes the use of the
          Access attribute.  We preclude 'Access because correctly
          performing all required constraint checks on an indirect call
          to such an inherited subprogram was felt to impose an
          undesirable implementation burden.

21.b/3
          {<AI05-0164-1AI05-0164-1>} Note that the exception to
          substitution of the parent or progenitor type applies only in
          the profiles of anonymous access-to-subprogram types.  The
          exception is necessary to avoid calling an
          access-to-subprogram with types and/or constraints different
          than expected by the actual routine.

     *note 6.4.1::.]

22.a/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00401-01AI95-00401-01>} We don't introduce the
          type conversion explicitly here since conversions to record
          extensions or on access parameters are not generally legal.
          Furthermore, any type conversion would just be "undone" since
          the subprogram of the parent or progenitor is ultimately being
          called anyway.  (Null procedures can be inherited from a
          progenitor without being overridden, so it is possible to call
          subprograms of an interface.)

23/2
{<AI95-00401-01AI95-00401-01>} If a primitive subprogram of the parent
or progenitor type is visible at the place of the
derived_type_definition, then the corresponding inherited subprogram is
implicitly declared immediately after the derived_type_definition.
Otherwise, the inherited subprogram is implicitly declared later or not
at all, as explained in *note 7.3.1::.

24
A derived type can also be defined by a private_extension_declaration
(*note 7.3: S0194.) (see *note 7.3::) or a
formal_derived_type_definition (*note 12.5.1: S0286.) (see *note
12.5.1::).  Such a derived type is a partial view of the corresponding
full or actual type.

25
All numeric types are derived types, in that they are implicitly derived
from a corresponding root numeric type (see *note 3.5.4:: and *note
3.5.6::).

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

26
The elaboration of a derived_type_definition creates the derived type
and its first subtype, and consists of the elaboration of the
subtype_indication (*note 3.2.2: S0027.) and the record_extension_part
(*note 3.9.1: S0075.), if any.  If the subtype_indication (*note 3.2.2:
S0027.) depends on a discriminant, then only those expressions that do
not depend on a discriminant are evaluated.

26.a/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} We don't mention
          the interface_list, because it does not need elaboration (see
          *note 3.9.4::).  This is consistent with the handling of
          discriminant_parts, which aren't elaborated either.

27/2
{<AI95-00391-01AI95-00391-01>} {<AI95-00401-01AI95-00401-01>} For the
execution of a call on an inherited subprogram, a call on the
corresponding primitive subprogram of the parent or progenitor type is
performed; the normal conversion of each actual parameter to the subtype
of the corresponding formal parameter (see *note 6.4.1::) performs any
necessary type conversion as well.  If the result type of the inherited
subprogram is the derived type, the result of calling the subprogram of
the parent or progenitor is converted to the derived type, or in the
case of a null extension, extended to the derived type using the
equivalent of an extension_aggregate with the original result as the
ancestor_part and null record as the record_component_association_list.
27.a/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00391-01AI95-00391-01>} If an inherited
          function returns the derived type, and the type is a nonnull
          record extension, then the inherited function shall be
          overridden, unless the type is abstract (in which case the
          function is abstract, and (unless overridden) cannot be called
          except via a dispatching call).  See *note 3.9.3::.

     NOTES

28
     16  Classes are closed under derivation -- any class that contains
     a type also contains its derivatives.  Operations available for a
     given class of types are available for the derived types in that
     class.

29
     17  Evaluating an inherited enumeration literal is equivalent to
     evaluating the corresponding enumeration literal of the parent
     type, and then converting the result to the derived type.  This
     follows from their equivalence to parameterless functions.  

30
     18  A generic subprogram is not a subprogram, and hence cannot be a
     primitive subprogram and cannot be inherited by a derived type.  On
     the other hand, an instance of a generic subprogram can be a
     primitive subprogram, and hence can be inherited.

31
     19  If the parent type is an access type, then the parent and the
     derived type share the same storage pool; there is a null access
     value for the derived type and it is the implicit initial value for
     the type.  See *note 3.10::.

32
     20  If the parent type is a boolean type, the predefined relational
     operators of the derived type deliver a result of the predefined
     type Boolean (see *note 4.5.2::).  If the parent type is an integer
     type, the right operand of the predefined exponentiation operator
     is of the predefined type Integer (see *note 4.5.6::).

33
     21  Any discriminants of the parent type are either all inherited,
     or completely replaced with a new set of discriminants.

34
     22  For an inherited subprogram, the subtype of a formal parameter
     of the derived type need not have any value in common with the
     first subtype of the derived type.

34.a
          Proof: This happens when the parent subtype is constrained to
          a range that does not overlap with the range of a subtype of
          the parent type that appears in the profile of some primitive
          subprogram of the parent type.  For example:

34.b
               type T1 is range 1..100;
               subtype S1 is T1 range 1..10;
               procedure P(X : in S1);  <-- P is a primitive subprogram>
               type T2 is new T1 range 11..20;
               <-- implicitly declared:>
               <-- procedure P(X : in T2'Base range 1..10);>
               <--      X cannot be in T2'First .. T2'Last>

35
     23  If the reserved word abstract is given in the declaration of a
     type, the type is abstract (see *note 3.9.3::).

35.1/2
     24  {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} {<AI95-00401-01AI95-00401-01>}
     An interface type that has a progenitor type "is derived from" that
     type.  A derived_type_definition, however, never defines an
     interface type.

35.2/2
     25  {<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} It is illegal for the parent
     type of a derived_type_definition to be a synchronized tagged type.

35.a/3
          Proof: {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} *note 3.9.1:: prohibits
          record extensions whose parent type is a synchronized tagged
          type, and this subclause requires tagged types to have a
          record extension.  Thus there are no legal derivations.  Note
          that a synchronized interface can be used as a progenitor in
          an interface_type_definition as well as in task and protected
          types, but we do not allow concrete extensions of any
          synchronized tagged type.

                              _Examples_

36
<Examples of derived type declarations:>

37
     type Local_Coordinate is new Coordinate;   --<  two different types>
     type Midweek is new Day range Tue .. Thu;  --<  see *note 3.5.1::>
     type Counter is new Positive;              --<  same range as Positive >

38
     type Special_Key is new Key_Manager.Key;   --<  see *note 7.3.1::>
       --< the inherited subprograms have the following specifications: >
       --<         procedure Get_Key(K : out Special_Key);>
       --<         function "<"(X,Y : Special_Key) return Boolean;>

                     _Inconsistencies With Ada 83_

38.a
          When deriving from a (nonprivate, nonderived) type in the same
          visible part in which it is defined, if a predefined operator
          had been overridden prior to the derivation, the derived type
          will inherit the user-defined operator rather than the
          predefined operator.  The work-around (if the new behavior is
          not the desired behavior) is to move the definition of the
          derived type prior to the overriding of any predefined
          operators.

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 83_

38.b
          When deriving from a (nonprivate, nonderived) type in the same
          visible part in which it is defined, a primitive subprogram of
          the parent type declared before the derived type will be
          inherited by the derived type.  This can cause upward
          incompatibilities in cases like this:

38.c
                  package P is
                     type T is (A, B, C, D);
                     function F( X : T := A ) return Integer;
                     type NT is new T;
                     --< inherits F as>
                     --< function F( X : NT := A ) return Integer;>
                     --< in Ada 95 only>
                     ...
                  end P;
                  ...
                  use P;  --< Only one declaration of F from P is use-visible in>
                          --< Ada 83;  two declarations of F are use-visible in>
                          --< Ada 95.>
               begin
                  ...
                  if F > 1 then ... --< legal in Ada 83, ambiguous in Ada 95>

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

38.d
          The syntax for a derived_type_definition is amended to include
          an optional record_extension_part (see *note 3.9.1::).

38.e
          A derived type may override the discriminants of the parent by
          giving a new discriminant_part.

38.f
          The parent type in a derived_type_definition may be a derived
          type defined in the same visible part.

38.g
          When deriving from a type in the same visible part in which it
          is defined, the primitive subprograms declared prior to the
          derivation are inherited as primitive subprograms of the
          derived type.  See *note 3.2.3::.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

38.h
          We now talk about the classes to which a type belongs, rather
          than a single class.

          {<AI95-00401-01AI95-00401-01>} A derived type may inherit from
          multiple (interface) progenitors, as well as the parent type
          -- see *note 3.9.4::, "*note 3.9.4:: Interface Types".

38.j/2
          {<AI95-00419-01AI95-00419-01>} A derived type may specify that
          it is a limited type.  This is required for interface
          ancestors (from which limitedness is not inherited), but it is
          generally useful as documentation of limitedness.

38.k/2
          {<AI95-00391-01AI95-00391-01>} Defined the result of functions

          overridden - see *note 3.9.3::).

38.l/2
          {<AI95-00442-01AI95-00442-01>} Defined the term "category of
          types" and used it in wording elsewhere; also specified the
          language-defined categories that form classes of types (this
          was never normatively specified in Ada 95).

                   _Incompatibilities With Ada 2005_

38.m/3
          {<AI05-0096-1AI05-0096-1>} Correction: Added a (re)check that
          limited type extensions never are derived from nonlimited
          types in generic private parts.  This is disallowed as it
          would make it possible to pass a limited object to a
          nonlimited class-wide type, which could then be copied.  This
          is only possible using Ada 2005 syntax, so examples in
          existing programs should be rare.

38.n/3
          {<AI05-0110-1AI05-0110-1>} Correction: Added wording to
          clarify that the characteristics of derived types are formally
          defined here.  (This is the only place in the Standard that
          actually spells out what sorts of things are actually
          characteristics, which is rather important.)

38.o/3
          {<AI05-0164-1AI05-0164-1>} Correction: Added wording to ensure

          on derivation.

3.4.1 Derivation Classes
------------------------

1
In addition to the various language-defined classes of types, types can
be grouped into <derivation classes>.

                          _Static Semantics_

2/2
{<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} {<AI95-00401-01AI95-00401-01>} A derived
type is <derived from> its parent type <directly>; it is derived
<indirectly> from any type from which its parent type is derived.  A
derived type, interface type, type extension, task type, protected type,
or formal derived type is also derived from every ancestor of each of
its progenitor types, if any.  The derivation class of types for a type
<T> (also called the class <rooted> at <T>) is the set consisting of <T>
(the <root type> of the class) and all types derived from <T> (directly
or indirectly) plus any associated universal or class-wide types
(defined below).

2.a
          Discussion: Note that the definition of "derived from" is a
          recursive definition.  We don't define a root type for all
          interesting language-defined classes, though presumably we
          could.

2.b
          To be honest: By the class-wide type "associated" with a type
          <T>, we mean the type <T>'Class.  Similarly, the universal
          type associated with <root_integer>, <root_real>, and
          <root_fixed> are <universal_integer>, <universal_real>, and
          <universal_fixed>, respectively.

3/2
{<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} Every type is either a <specific> type, a
<class-wide> type, or a <universal> type.  A specific type is one
defined by a type_declaration, a formal_type_declaration, or a full type
definition embedded in another construct.  Class-wide and universal
types are implicitly defined, to act as representatives for an entire
class of types, as follows:

3.a
          To be honest: The root types <root_integer>, <root_real>, and
          <root_fixed> are also specific types.  They are declared in
          the specification of package Standard.

4
Class-wide types
               Class-wide types are defined for [(and belong to)] each
               derivation class rooted at a tagged type (see *note
               3.9::).  Given a subtype S of a tagged type <T>, S'Class
               is the subtype_mark for a corresponding subtype of the
               tagged class-wide type <T>'Class.  Such types are called
               "class-wide" because when a formal parameter is defined
               to be of a class-wide type <T>'Class, an actual parameter
               of any type in the derivation class rooted at <T> is
               acceptable (see *note 8.6::).

5
               The set of values for a class-wide type <T>'Class is the
               discriminated union of the set of values of each specific
               type in the derivation class rooted at <T> (the tag acts
               as the implicit discriminant -- see *note 3.9::).
               Class-wide types have no primitive subprograms of their
               own.  However, as explained in *note 3.9.2::, operands of
               a class-wide type <T>'Class can be used as part of a
               dispatching call on a primitive subprogram of the type
               <T>.  The only components [(including discriminants)] of
               <T>'Class that are visible are those of <T>.  If S is a
               first subtype, then S'Class is a first subtype.

5.a
          Reason: We want S'Class to be a first subtype when S is, so
          that an attribute_definition_clause (*note 13.3: S0310.) like
          "for S'Class'Output use ...;" will be legal.

6/2
{<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} Universal types
               Universal types are defined for [(and belong to)] the
               integer, real, fixed point, and access classes, and are
               referred to in this standard as respectively,
               <universal_integer>, <universal_real>, <universal_fixed>,
               and <universal_access>.  These are analogous to
               class-wide types for these language-defined elementary
               classes.  As with class-wide types, if a formal parameter
               is of a universal type, then an actual parameter of any
               type in the corresponding class is acceptable.  In
               addition, a value of a universal type (including an
               integer or real numeric_literal, or the literal null) is
               "universal" in that it is acceptable where some
               particular type in the class is expected (see *note
               8.6::).

7
               The set of values of a universal type is the
               undiscriminated union of the set of values possible for
               any definable type in the associated class.  Like
               class-wide types, universal types have no primitive
               subprograms of their own.  However, their "universality"
               allows them to be used as operands with the primitive
               subprograms of any type in the corresponding class.

7.a
          Discussion: A class-wide type is only class-wide in one
          direction, from specific to class-wide, whereas a universal
          type is class-wide (universal) in both directions, from
          specific to universal and back.

7.b/2
          {<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} We considered defining
          class-wide or perhaps universal types for all derivation
          classes, not just tagged classes and these four elementary
          classes.  However, this was felt to overly weaken the
          strong-typing model in some situations.  Tagged types preserve
          strong type distinctions thanks to the run-time tag.
          Class-wide or universal types for untagged types would weaken
          the compile-time type distinctions without providing a
          compensating run-time-checkable distinction.

7.c
          We considered defining standard names for the universal
          numeric types so they could be used in formal parameter
          specifications.  However, this was felt to impose an undue
          implementation burden for some implementations.

7.d
          To be honest: Formally, the set of values of a universal type
          is actually a <copy> of the undiscriminated union of the
          values of the types in its class.  This is because we want
          each value to have exactly one type, with explicit or implicit
          conversion needed to go between types.  An alternative,
          consistent model would be to associate a class, rather than a
          particular type, with a value, even though any given
          expression would have a particular type.  In that case,
          implicit type conversions would not generally need to change
          the value, although an associated subtype conversion might
          need to.

8
The integer and real numeric classes each have a specific root type in
addition to their universal type, named respectively <root_integer> and
<root_real>.

9
A class-wide or universal type is said to <cover> all of the types in
its class.  A specific type covers only itself.

10/2
{<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} A specific
type <T2> is defined to be a <descendant> of a type <T1> if <T2> is the
same as <T1>, or if <T2> is derived (directly or indirectly) from <T1>.
A class-wide type <T2>'Class is defined to be a descendant of type <T1>
if <T2> is a descendant of <T1>.  Similarly, the numeric universal types
are defined to be descendants of the root types of their classes.  If a
type <T2> is a descendant of a type <T1>, then <T1> is called an
<ancestor> of <T2>.  An <ultimate ancestor> of a type is an ancestor of
that type that is not itself a descendant of any other type.  Every
untagged type has a unique ultimate ancestor.

10.a
          Ramification: A specific type is a descendant of itself.
          Class-wide types are considered descendants of the
          corresponding specific type, and do not have any descendants
          of their own.

10.b
          A specific type is an ancestor of itself.  The root of a
          derivation class is an ancestor of all types in the class,
          including any class-wide types in the class.

10.c
          Discussion: The terms root, parent, ancestor, and ultimate
          ancestor are all related.  For example:

10.d/2
             * {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} Each type has at most one
               parent, and one or more ancestor types; each untagged
               type has exactly one ultimate ancestor.  In Ada 83, the
               term "parent type" was sometimes used more generally to
               include any ancestor type (e.g.  RM83-9.4(14)).  In Ada
               95, we restrict parent to mean the immediate ancestor.

10.e
             * A class of types has at most one root type; a derivation
               class has exactly one root type.

10.f
             * The root of a class is an ancestor of all of the types in
               the class (including itself).

10.g
             * The type <root_integer> is the root of the integer class,
               and is the ultimate ancestor of all integer types.  A
               similar statement applies to <root_real>.

10.h/2
          Glossary entry: An ancestor of a type is the type itself or,
          in the case of a type derived from other types, its parent
          type or one of its progenitor types or one of their ancestors.
          Note that ancestor and descendant are inverse relationships.

10.i/2
          Glossary entry: A type is a descendant of itself, its parent
          and progenitor types, and their ancestors.  Note that
          descendant and ancestor are inverse relationships.

11
An inherited component [(including an inherited discriminant)] of a
derived type is inherited <from> a given ancestor of the type if the
corresponding component was inherited by each derived type in the chain
of derivations going back to the given ancestor.

     NOTES

12
     26  Because operands of a universal type are acceptable to the
     predefined operators of any type in their class, ambiguity can
     result.  For <universal_integer> and <universal_real>, this
     potential ambiguity is resolved by giving a preference (see *note
     8.6::) to the predefined operators of the corresponding root types
     (<root_integer> and <root_real>, respectively).  Hence, in an
     apparently ambiguous expression like

13
          1 + 4 < 7

14
     where each of the literals is of type <universal_integer>, the
     predefined operators of <root_integer> will be preferred over those
     of other specific integer types, thereby resolving the ambiguity.

14.a
          Ramification: Except for this preference, a root numeric type
          is essentially like any other specific type in the associated
          numeric class.  In particular, the result of a predefined
          operator of a root numeric type is not "universal" (implicitly
          convertible) even if both operands were.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

14.b/2
          {<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} Updated the wording to define
          the <universal_access> type.  This was defined to make null
          for anonymous access types sensible.

          {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} {<AI95-00401-01AI95-00401-01>}
          The definitions of ancestors and descendants were updated to
          allow multiple ancestors (necessary to support interfaces).

3.5 Scalar Types
================

1
<Scalar> types comprise enumeration types, integer types, and real
types.  Enumeration types and integer types are called <discrete> types;
each value of a discrete type has a <position number> which is an
integer value.  Integer types and real types are called <numeric> types.
[All scalar types are ordered, that is, all relational operators are
predefined for their values.]

                               _Syntax_

2
     range_constraint ::=  range range

3
     range ::=  range_attribute_reference
        | simple_expression .. simple_expression

3.a
          Discussion: These need to be simple_expressions rather than
          more general expressions because ranges appear in membership
          tests and other contexts where expression ..  expression would
          be ambiguous.

4
A <range> has a <lower bound> and an <upper bound> and specifies a
subset of the values of some scalar type (the <type of the range>).  A
range with lower bound L and upper bound R is described by "L ..  R". If
R is less than L, then the range is a <null range>, and specifies an
empty set of values.  Otherwise, the range specifies the values of the
type from the lower bound to the upper bound, inclusive.  A value
<belongs> to a range if it is of the type of the range, and is in the
subset of values specified by the range.  A value <satisfies> a range
constraint if it belongs to the associated range.  One range is
<included> in another if all values that belong to the first range also
belong to the second.

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

5
For a subtype_indication containing a range_constraint, either directly
or as part of some other scalar_constraint, the type of the range shall
resolve to that of the type determined by the subtype_mark of the
subtype_indication.  For a range of a given type, the simple_expressions
of the range (likewise, the simple_expressions of the equivalent range
for a range_attribute_reference) are expected to be of the type of the
range.

5.a
          Discussion: In Ada 95, constraints only appear within
          subtype_indications; things that look like constraints that
          appear in type declarations are called something else like
          real_range_specifications.

5.b/3
          {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} We say "the expected type is ..."
          or "the type is expected to be ..."  depending on which reads
          better.  They are fundamentally equivalent, and both feed into
          the type resolution rules of subclause *note 8.6::.

5.c
          In some cases, it doesn't work to use expected types.  For
          example, in the above rule, we say that the "type of the range
          shall resolve to ..."  rather than "the expected type for the
          range is ...".  We then use "expected type" for the bounds.
          If we used "expected" at both points, there would be an
          ambiguity, since one could apply the rules of *note 8.6::
          either on determining the type of the range, or on determining
          the types of the individual bounds.  It is clearly important
          to allow one bound to be of a universal type, and the other of
          a specific type, so we need to use "expected type" for the
          bounds.  Hence, we used "shall resolve to" for the type of the
          range as a whole.  There are other situations where "expected
          type" is not quite right, and we use "shall resolve to"
          instead.

                          _Static Semantics_

6
The <base range> of a scalar type is the range of finite values of the
type that can be represented in every unconstrained object of the type;
it is also the range supported at a minimum for intermediate values
during the evaluation of expressions involving predefined operators of
the type.

6.a
          Implementation Note: Note that in some machine architectures
          intermediates in an expression (particularly if static), and
          register-resident variables might accommodate a wider range.
          The base range does not include the values of this wider range
          that are not assignable without overflow to memory-resident
          objects.

6.b
          Ramification: The base range of an enumeration type is the
          range of values of the enumeration type.

6.c
          Reason: If the representation supports infinities, the base
          range is nevertheless restricted to include only the
          representable finite values, so that 'Base'First and
          'Base'Last are always guaranteed to be finite.

6.d
          To be honest: By a "value that can be assigned without
          overflow" we don't mean to restrict ourselves to values that
          can be represented exactly.  Values between machine
          representable values can be assigned, but on subsequent
          reading, a slightly different value might be retrieved, as
          (partially) determined by the number of digits of precision of
          the type.

7
[A constrained scalar subtype is one to which a range constraint
applies.]  The <range> of a constrained scalar subtype is the range
associated with the range constraint of the subtype.  The <range> of an
unconstrained scalar subtype is the base range of its type.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

8
A range is <compatible> with a scalar subtype if and only if it is
either a null range or each bound of the range belongs to the range of
the subtype.  A range_constraint is <compatible> with a scalar subtype
if and only if its range is compatible with the subtype.

8.a
          Ramification: Only range_constraints (explicit or implicit)
          impose conditions on the values of a scalar subtype.  The
          other scalar_constraints, digits_constraints and
          delta_constraints impose conditions on the subtype denoted by
          the subtype_mark in a subtype_indication, but don't impose a
          condition on the values of the subtype being defined.
          Therefore, a scalar subtype is not called <constrained> if all
          that applies to it is a digits_constraint.  Decimal subtypes
          are subtle, because a digits_constraint without a
          range_constraint nevertheless includes an implicit
          range_constraint.

9
The elaboration of a range_constraint consists of the evaluation of the
range.  The evaluation of a range determines a lower bound and an upper
bound.  If simple_expressions are given to specify bounds, the
evaluation of the range evaluates these simple_expressions in an
arbitrary order, and converts them to the type of the range.  If a
range_attribute_reference is given, the evaluation of the range consists
of the evaluation of the range_attribute_reference.

10
<Attributes>

11
For every scalar subtype S, the following attributes are defined:

12
S'First
               S'First denotes the lower bound of the range of S. The
               value of this attribute is of the type of S.

12.a
          Ramification: Evaluating S'First never raises
          Constraint_Error.

13
S'Last
               S'Last denotes the upper bound of the range of S. The
               value of this attribute is of the type of S.

13.a
          Ramification: Evaluating S'Last never raises Constraint_Error.

14
S'Range
               S'Range is equivalent to the range S'First ..  S'Last.

15
S'Base
               S'Base denotes an unconstrained subtype of the type of S.
               This unconstrained subtype is called the <base subtype>
               of the type.  

16
S'Min
               S'Min denotes a function with the following
               specification:

17
                    function S'Min(<Left>, <Right> : S'Base)
                      return S'Base

18
               The function returns the lesser of the values of the two
               parameters.

18.a
          Discussion: The formal parameter names are italicized because
          they cannot be used in calls -- see *note 6.4::.  Such a
          specification cannot be written by the user because an
          attribute_reference is not permitted as the designator of a
          user-defined function, nor can its formal parameters be
          anonymous.

19
S'Max
               S'Max denotes a function with the following
               specification:

20
                    function S'Max(<Left>, <Right> : S'Base)
                      return S'Base

21
               The function returns the greater of the values of the two
               parameters.

22
S'Succ
               S'Succ denotes a function with the following
               specification:

23
                    function S'Succ(<Arg> : S'Base)
                      return S'Base

24
               For an enumeration type, the function returns the value
               whose position number is one more than that of the value
               of <Arg>; Constraint_Error is raised if there is no such
               value of the type.  For an integer type, the function
               returns the result of adding one to the value of <Arg>.
               For a fixed point type, the function returns the result
               of adding <small> to the value of <Arg>.  For a floating
               point type, the function returns the machine number (as
               defined in *note 3.5.7::) immediately above the value of
               <Arg>; Constraint_Error is raised if there is no such
               machine number.

24.a
          Ramification: S'Succ for a modular integer subtype wraps
          around if the value of <Arg> is S'Base'Last.  S'Succ for a
          signed integer subtype might raise Constraint_Error if the
          value of <Arg> is S'Base'Last, or it might return the
          out-of-base-range value S'Base'Last+1, as is permitted for all
          predefined numeric operations.

25
S'Pred
               S'Pred denotes a function with the following
               specification:

26
                    function S'Pred(<Arg> : S'Base)
                      return S'Base

27
               For an enumeration type, the function returns the value
               whose position number is one less than that of the value
               of <Arg>; Constraint_Error is raised if there is no such
               value of the type.  For an integer type, the function
               returns the result of subtracting one from the value of
               <Arg>.  For a fixed point type, the function returns the
               result of subtracting <small> from the value of <Arg>.
               For a floating point type, the function returns the
               machine number (as defined in *note 3.5.7::) immediately
               below the value of <Arg>; Constraint_Error is raised if
               there is no such machine number.

27.a
          Ramification: S'Pred for a modular integer subtype wraps
          around if the value of <Arg> is S'Base'First.  S'Pred for a
          signed integer subtype might raise Constraint_Error if the
          value of <Arg> is S'Base'First, or it might return the
          out-of-base-range value S'Base'First-1, as is permitted for
          all predefined numeric operations.

27.1/2
S'Wide_Wide_Image
               {<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} S'Wide_Wide_Image denotes
               a function with the following specification:

27.2/2
                    function S'Wide_Wide_Image(<Arg> : S'Base)
                      return Wide_Wide_String

27.3/2
               The function returns an <image> of the value of <Arg>,
               that is, a sequence of characters representing the value
               in display form.  The lower bound of the result is one.

27.4/2
               The image of an integer value is the corresponding
               decimal literal, without underlines, leading zeros,
               exponent, or trailing spaces, but with a single leading
               character that is either a minus sign or a space.

27.b/2
          Implementation Note: If the machine supports negative zeros
          for signed integer types, it is not specified whether " 0" or
          "-0" should be returned for negative zero.  We don't have
          enough experience with such machines to know what is
          appropriate, and what other languages do.  In any case, the
          implementation should be consistent.

27.5/2
               The image of an enumeration value is either the
               corresponding identifier in upper case or the
               corresponding character literal (including the two
               apostrophes); neither leading nor trailing spaces are
               included.  For a <nongraphic character> (a value of a
               character type that has no enumeration literal associated
               with it), the result is a corresponding language-defined
               name in upper case (for example, the image of the
               nongraphic character identified as <nul> is "NUL" -- the
               quotes are not part of the image).

27.c/2
          Implementation Note: For an enumeration type T that has
          "holes" (caused by an enumeration_representation_clause (*note
          13.4: S0311.)), T'Wide_Image should raise Program_Error if the
          value is one of the holes (which is a bounded error anyway,
          since holes can be generated only via uninitialized variables
          and similar things).

27.6/2
               The image of a floating point value is a decimal real
               literal best approximating the value (rounded away from
               zero if halfway between) with a single leading character
               that is either a minus sign or a space, a single digit
               (that is nonzero unless the value is zero), a decimal
               point, S'Digits-1 (see *note 3.5.8::) digits after the
               decimal point (but one if S'Digits is one), an upper case
               E, the sign of the exponent (either + or -), and two or
               more digits (with leading zeros if necessary)
               representing the exponent.  If S'Signed_Zeros is True,
               then the leading character is a minus sign for a
               negatively signed zero.

27.d/2
          To be honest: Leading zeros are present in the exponent only
          if necessary to make the exponent at least two digits.

27.e/2
          Reason: This image is intended to conform to that produced by
          Text_IO.Float_IO.Put in its default format.

27.f/2
          Implementation Note: The rounding direction is specified here
          to ensure portability of output results.

27.7/2
               The image of a fixed point value is a decimal real
               literal best approximating the value (rounded away from
               zero if halfway between) with a single leading character
               that is either a minus sign or a space, one or more
               digits before the decimal point (with no redundant
               leading zeros), a decimal point, and S'Aft (see *note
               3.5.10::) digits after the decimal point.

27.g/2
          Reason: This image is intended to conform to that produced by
          Text_IO.Fixed_IO.Put.

27.h/2
          Implementation Note: The rounding direction is specified here
          to ensure portability of output results.

27.i/2
          Implementation Note: For a machine that supports negative
          zeros, it is not specified whether " 0.000" or "-0.000" is
          returned.  See corresponding comment above about integer types
          with signed zeros.

28
S'Wide_Image
               S'Wide_Image denotes a function with the following
               specification:

29
                    function S'Wide_Image(<Arg> : S'Base)
                      return Wide_String

30/3
               {<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>}
               {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} The function returns an image
               of the value of <Arg> as a Wide_String.  The lower bound
               of the result is one.  The image has the same sequence of
               graphic characters as defined for S'Wide_Wide_Image if
               all the graphic characters are defined in Wide_Character;
               otherwise, the sequence of characters is implementation
               defined (but no shorter than that of S'Wide_Wide_Image
               for the same value of Arg).

30.a/2
          Implementation defined: The sequence of characters of the
          value returned by S'Wide_Image when some of the graphic
          characters of S'Wide_Wide_Image are not defined in
          Wide_Character.

               <Paragraphs 31 through 34 were moved to Wide_Wide_Image.>

35
S'Image
               S'Image denotes a function with the following
               specification:

36
                    function S'Image(<Arg> : S'Base)
                      return String

37/3
               {<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>}
               The function returns an image of the value of <Arg> as a
               String.  The lower bound of the result is one.  The image
               has the same sequence of graphic characters as that
               defined for S'Wide_Wide_Image if all the graphic
               characters are defined in Character; otherwise, the
               sequence of characters is implementation defined (but no
               shorter than that of S'Wide_Wide_Image for the same value
               of <Arg>).

37.a/2
          Implementation defined: The sequence of characters of the
          value returned by S'Image when some of the graphic characters
          of S'Wide_Wide_Image are not defined in Character.

S'Wide_Wide_Width
               {<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} S'Wide_Wide_Width denotes
               the maximum length of a Wide_Wide_String returned by
               S'Wide_Wide_Image over all values of the subtype S. It
               denotes zero for a subtype that has a null range.  Its
               type is <universal_integer>.

38
S'Wide_Width
               S'Wide_Width denotes the maximum length of a Wide_String
               returned by S'Wide_Image over all values of the subtype
               S. It denotes zero for a subtype that has a null range.
               Its type is <universal_integer>.

39
S'Width
               S'Width denotes the maximum length of a String returned
               by S'Image over all values of the subtype S. It denotes
               zero for a subtype that has a null range.  Its type is
               <universal_integer>.

S'Wide_Wide_Value
               {<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} S'Wide_Wide_Value denotes
               a function with the following specification:

39.2/2
                    function S'Wide_Wide_Value(<Arg> : Wide_Wide_String)
                      return S'Base

39.3/2
               This function returns a value given an image of the value
               as a Wide_Wide_String, ignoring any leading or trailing
               spaces.

39.4/3
               {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} For the evaluation of a call
               on S'Wide_Wide_Value for an enumeration subtype S, if the
               sequence of characters of the parameter (ignoring leading
               and trailing spaces) has the syntax of an enumeration
               literal and if it corresponds to a literal of the type of
               S (or corresponds to the result of S'Wide_Wide_Image for
               a nongraphic character of the type), the result is the
               corresponding enumeration value; otherwise,
               Constraint_Error is raised.

39.a.1/2
          Discussion: It's not crystal clear that Range_Check is
          appropriate here, but it doesn't seem worthwhile to invent a
          whole new check name just for this weird case, so we decided
          to lump it in with Range_Check.

39.a.2/2
          To be honest: {<8652/00968652/0096>}
          {<AI95-00053-01AI95-00053-01>} A sequence of characters
          corresponds to the result of S'Wide_Wide_Image if it is the
          same ignoring case.  Thus, the case of an image of a
          nongraphic character does not matter.  For example,
          Character'Wide_Wide_Value("nul") does not raise
          Constraint_Error, even though Character'Wide_Wide_Image
          returns "NUL" for the nul character.

39.5/3
               {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} For the evaluation of a call
               on S'Wide_Wide_Value for an integer subtype S, if the
               sequence of characters of the parameter (ignoring leading
               and trailing spaces) has the syntax of an integer
               literal, with an optional leading sign character (plus or
               minus for a signed type; only plus for a modular type),
               and the corresponding numeric value belongs to the base
               range of the type of S, then that value is the result; 
               otherwise, Constraint_Error is raised.

39.a.3/2
          Discussion: We considered allowing 'Value to return a
          representable but out-of-range value without a
          Constraint_Error.  However, we currently require (see *note
          4.9::) in an assignment_statement like "X :=
          <numeric_literal>;" that the value of the numeric-literal be
          in X's base range (at compile time), so it seems unfriendly
          and confusing to have a different range allowed for 'Value.
          Furthermore, for modular types, without the requirement for
          being in the base range, 'Value would have to handle
          arbitrarily long literals (since overflow never occurs for
          modular types).

39.6/2
               For the evaluation of a call on S'Wide_Wide_Value for a
               real subtype S, if the sequence of characters of the
               parameter (ignoring leading and trailing spaces) has the
               syntax of one of the following:

39.7/2
                  * numeric_literal

39.8/2
                  * numeral.[exponent]

39.9/2
                  * .numeral[exponent]

39.10/2
                  * base#based_numeral.#[exponent]

39.11/2
                  * base#.based_numeral#[exponent]

39.12/3
               {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} with an optional leading sign
               character (plus or minus), and if the corresponding
               numeric value belongs to the base range of the type of S,
               then that value is the result; otherwise,
               Constraint_Error is raised.  The sign of a zero value is
               preserved (positive if none has been specified) if
               S'Signed_Zeros is True.

40
S'Wide_Value
               S'Wide_Value denotes a function with the following
               specification:

41
                    function S'Wide_Value(<Arg> : Wide_String)
                      return S'Base

42
               This function returns a value given an image of the value
               as a Wide_String, ignoring any leading or trailing
               spaces.

43/3
               {<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>}
               For the evaluation of a call on S'Wide_Value for an
               enumeration subtype S, if the sequence of characters of
               the parameter (ignoring leading and trailing spaces) has
               the syntax of an enumeration literal and if it
               corresponds to a literal of the type of S (or corresponds
               to the result of S'Wide_Image for a value of the type),
               the result is the corresponding enumeration value; 
               otherwise, Constraint_Error is raised.  For a numeric
               subtype S, the evaluation of a call on S'Wide_Value with
               <Arg> of type Wide_String is equivalent to a call on
               S'Wide_Wide_Value for a corresponding <Arg> of type
               Wide_Wide_String.

          {<AI95-00053-01AI95-00053-01>}

43.b/2
          Reason: S'Wide_Value is subtly different from
          S'Wide_Wide_Value for enumeration subtypes since S'Wide_Image
          might produce a different sequence of characters than
          S'Wide_Wide_Image if the enumeration literal uses characters
          outside of the predefined type Wide_Character.  That is why we
          don't just define S'Wide_Value in terms of S'Wide_Wide_Value
          for enumeration subtypes.  S'Wide_Value and S'Wide_Wide_Value
          for numeric subtypes yield the same result given the same
          sequence of characters.

               <Paragraphs 44 through 51 were moved to Wide_Wide_Value.>

52
S'Value
               S'Value denotes a function with the following
               specification:

53
                    function S'Value(<Arg> : String)
                      return S'Base

54
               This function returns a value given an image of the value
               as a String, ignoring any leading or trailing spaces.

55/3
               {<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>}
               For the evaluation of a call on S'Value for an
               enumeration subtype S, if the sequence of characters of
               the parameter (ignoring leading and trailing spaces) has
               the syntax of an enumeration literal and if it
               corresponds to a literal of the type of S (or corresponds
               to the result of S'Image for a value of the type), the
               result is the corresponding enumeration value; otherwise,
               Constraint_Error is raised.  For a numeric subtype S, the
               evaluation of a call on S'Value with <Arg> of type String
               is equivalent to a call on S'Wide_Wide_Value for a
               corresponding <Arg> of type Wide_Wide_String.

55.a/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} S'Value is subtly
          different from S'Wide_Wide_Value for enumeration subtypes; see
          the discussion under S'Wide_Value.

55.1/4
{<AI12-0124-1AI12-0124-1>} For a prefix X that denotes an object of a
scalar type[ (after any implicit dereference)], the following attributes
are defined:

55.2/4
X'Wide_Wide_Image
               {<AI12-0124-1AI12-0124-1>} X'Wide_Wide_Image denotes the
               result of calling function S'Wide_Wide_Image with <Arg>
               being X, where S is the nominal subtype of X.

55.3/4
X'Wide_Image
               {<AI12-0124-1AI12-0124-1>} X'Wide_Image denotes the
               result of calling function S'Wide_Image with <Arg> being
               X, where S is the nominal subtype of X.

55.4/4
X'Image
               {<AI12-0124-1AI12-0124-1>} X'Image denotes the result of

                     _Implementation Permissions_

56/2
{<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} An implementation may extend the
Wide_Wide_Value, [Wide_Value, Value, Wide_Wide_Image, Wide_Image, and
Image] attributes of a floating point type to support special values
such as infinities and NaNs.

56.a/2
          Proof: {<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} The permission is really
          only necessary for Wide_Wide_Value, because Value and
          Wide_Value are defined in terms of Wide_Wide_Value, and
          because the behavior of Wide_Wide_Image, Wide_Image, and Image
          is already unspecified for things like infinities and NaNs.

56.b
          Reason: This is to allow implementations to define full
          support for IEEE arithmetic.  See also the similar permission
          for Get in *note A.10.9::.

56.1/3
{<AI05-0182-1AI05-0182-1>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>}
{<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>} An implementation may extend the
Wide_Wide_Value, Wide_Value, and Value attributes of a character type to
accept strings of the form "Hex_<hhhhhhhh>" (ignoring case) for any
character (not just the ones for which Wide_Wide_Image would produce
that form -- see *note 3.5.2::), as well as three-character strings of
the form "'<X>'", where <X> is any character, including nongraphic
characters.

                          _Static Semantics_

56.2/3
{<AI05-0228-1AI05-0228-1>} For a scalar type, the following
language-defined representation aspect may be specified with an
aspect_specification (see *note 13.1.1::):

56.3/3
Default_Value
               This aspect shall be specified by a static expression,
               and that expression shall be explicit, even if the aspect
               has a boolean type.  Default_Value shall be specified
               only on a full_type_declaration.

56.c/3
          Reason: The part about requiring an explicit expression is to
          disallow omitting the value for this aspect, which would
          otherwise be allowed by the rules of *note 13.1.1::.

56.d/3
          This is a representation aspect in order to disallow
          specifying it on a derived type that has inherited primitive
          subprograms; that is necessary as the sizes of out parameters
          could be different whether or not a Default_Value is specified
          (see *note 6.4.1::).

56.e/3
          Aspect Description for Default_Value: Default value for a
          scalar subtype.

56.4/3
{<AI05-0228-1AI05-0228-1>} If a derived type with no primitive
subprograms inherits a boolean Default_Value aspect, the aspect may be
specified to have any value for the derived type.

56.f/3
          Reason: This overrides the *note 13.1.1:: rule that says that
          a boolean aspect with a value True cannot be changed.

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

56.5/3
{<AI05-0228-1AI05-0228-1>} The expected type for the expression
specified for the Default_Value aspect is the type defined by the
full_type_declaration on which it appears.

     NOTES

57
     27  The evaluation of S'First or S'Last never raises an exception.
     If a scalar subtype S has a nonnull range, S'First and S'Last
     belong to this range.  These values can, for example, always be
     assigned to a variable of subtype S.

57.a
          Discussion: This paragraph addresses an issue that came up
          with Ada 83, where for fixed point types, the end points of
          the range specified in the type definition were not
          necessarily within the base range of the type.  However, it
          was later clarified (and we reconfirm it in *note 3.5.9::,
          "*note 3.5.9:: Fixed Point Types") that the First and Last
          attributes reflect the true bounds chosen for the type, not
          the bounds specified in the type definition (which might be
          outside the ultimately chosen base range).

58
     28  For a subtype of a scalar type, the result delivered by the
     attributes Succ, Pred, and Value might not belong to the subtype;
     similarly, the actual parameters of the attributes Succ, Pred, and
     Image need not belong to the subtype.

59
     29  For any value V (including any nongraphic character) of an
     enumeration subtype S, S'Value(S'Image(V)) equals V, as do
     S'Wide_Value(S'Wide_Image(V)) and
     S'Wide_Wide_Value(S'Wide_Wide_Image(V)). None of these expressions
     ever raise Constraint_Error.

                              _Examples_

<Examples of ranges:>

     -10 .. 10

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 83_

63.a/1
          S'Base is no longer defined for nonscalar types.  One
          conceivable existing use of S'Base for nonscalar types is
          S'Base'Size where S is a generic formal private type.
          However, that is not generally useful because the actual
          subtype corresponding to S might be a constrained array or
          discriminated type, which would mean that S'Base'Size might
          very well overflow (for example, S'Base'Size where S is a
          constrained subtype of String will generally be 8 *
          (Integer'Last + 1)).  For derived discriminated types that are
          packed, S'Base'Size might not even be well defined if the
          first subtype is constrained, thereby allowing some amount of
          normally required "dope" to have been squeezed out in the
          packing.  Hence our conclusion is that S'Base'Size is not
          generally useful in a generic, and does not justify keeping
          the attribute Base for nonscalar types just so it can be used
          as a prefix.

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

63.b
          The attribute S'Base for a scalar subtype is now permitted
          anywhere a subtype_mark is permitted.  S'Base'First ..
          S'Base'Last is the base range of the type.  Using an
          attribute_definition_clause (*note 13.3: S0310.), one cannot
          specify any subtype-specific attributes for the subtype
          denoted by S'Base (the base subtype).

63.c
          The attribute S'Range is now allowed for scalar subtypes.

63.d
          The attributes S'Min and S'Max are now defined, and made
          available for all scalar types.

63.e
          The attributes S'Succ, S'Pred, S'Image, S'Value, and S'Width
          are now defined for real types as well as discrete types.

63.f
          Wide_String versions of S'Image and S'Value are defined.
          These are called S'Wide_Image and S'Wide_Value to avoid
          introducing ambiguities involving uses of these attributes
          with string literals.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

63.g
          We now use the syntactic category range_attribute_reference
          since it is now syntactically distinguished from other
          attribute references.

63.h
          The definition of S'Base has been moved here from 3.3.3 since
          it now applies only to scalar types.

63.i
          More explicit rules are provided for nongraphic characters.

                        _Extensions to Ada 95_

63.j/2
          {<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} The attributes Wide_Wide_Image,
          Wide_Wide_Value, and Wide_Wide_Width are new.  Note that
          Wide_Image and Wide_Value are now defined in terms of
          Wide_Wide_Image and Wide_Wide_Value, but the image of types
          other than characters have not changed.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

63.k/2
          {<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} The Wide_Image and Wide_Value
          attributes are now defined in terms of Wide_Wide_Image and
          Wide_Wide_Value, but the images of numeric types have not
          changed.

                    _Inconsistencies With Ada 2005_

63.l/3
          {<AI05-0181-1AI05-0181-1>} Correction: Soft hyphen (code point
          173) is nongraphic in ISO/IEC 10646:2011 (and also in the 2003
          version of that standard).  Thus, we have given it the
          language-defined name <soft_hyphen>.  This changes the result
          of Character'Image (and all of the related types and Image
          attributes) for this character, and changes the behavior of
          Character'Value (and all of the related types and Value
          attributes) for this character, and (in unusual
          circumstances), changes the result for Character'Width (and
          all of the related types and Width attributes).  The vast
          majority of programs won't see any difference, as they are
          already prepared to handle nongraphic characters.

63.m/3
          {<AI05-0182-1AI05-0182-1>} Correction: Added an Implementation
          Permissions to let Wide_Wide_Value, Wide_Value, and Value
          accept strings in the form of literals containing nongraphic
          characters and "Hex_hhhhhhhh" for Latin-1 and graphic
          characters.  These were required to raise Constraint_Error in
          Ada 2005.  Since these attributes aren't very useful,
          implementations were inconsistent as to whether these were
          accepted, and since code that would care why the attribute
          failed seems unlikely, this should not be a problem in
          practice.

          present in some implementations.

3.5.1 Enumeration Types
-----------------------

1
[ An enumeration_type_definition defines an enumeration type.]

                               _Syntax_

2
     enumeration_type_definition ::=
        (enumeration_literal_specification {, 
     enumeration_literal_specification})

3
     enumeration_literal_specification ::=  defining_identifier | 
     defining_character_literal

4
     defining_character_literal ::= character_literal

                           _Legality Rules_

5/3
{<AI05-0227-1AI05-0227-1>} {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} The
defining_identifiers in upper case [and the defining_character_literals]
listed in an enumeration_type_definition shall be distinct.

5.a/3
          Proof: {<AI05-0227-1AI05-0227-1>} For character literals, this
          is a ramification of the normal disallowance of homographs
          explicitly declared immediately in the same declarative
          region.

5.b/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0227-1AI05-0227-1>} To ease implementation of
          the attribute Wide_Wide_Value, we require that all enumeration
          literals have distinct images.

                          _Static Semantics_

6/3
{<AI05-0006-1AI05-0006-1>} Each enumeration_literal_specification is the
explicit declaration of the corresponding <enumeration literal>: it
declares a parameterless function, whose defining name is the
defining_identifier (*note 3.1: S0022.) or defining_character_literal
(*note 3.5.1: S0040.), and whose result subtype is the base subtype of
the enumeration type.

6.a
          Reason: This rule defines the profile of the enumeration
          literal, which is used in the various types of conformance.

6.b
          Ramification: The parameterless function associated with an
          enumeration literal is fully defined by the
          enumeration_type_definition; a body is not permitted for it,
          and it never fails the Elaboration_Check when called.

6.c/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0006-1AI05-0006-1>} The result subtype is
          primarily a concern when an enumeration literal is used as the
          expression of a case statement, due to the full coverage
          requirement based on the nominal subtype.

7
Each enumeration literal corresponds to a distinct value of the
enumeration type, and to a distinct position number.  The position
number of the value of the first listed enumeration literal is zero; the
position number of the value of each subsequent enumeration literal is
one more than that of its predecessor in the list.

8
[The predefined order relations between values of the enumeration type
follow the order of corresponding position numbers.]

9
[ If the same defining_identifier or defining_character_literal is
specified in more than one enumeration_type_definition (*note 3.5.1:
S0038.), the corresponding enumeration literals are said to be
<overloaded>.  At any place where an overloaded enumeration literal
occurs in the text of a program, the type of the enumeration literal has
to be determinable from the context (see *note 8.6::).]

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

10
The elaboration of an enumeration_type_definition creates the
enumeration type and its first subtype, which is constrained to the base
range of the type.

10.a
          Ramification: The first subtype of a discrete type is always
          constrained, except in the case of a derived type whose parent
          subtype is Whatever'Base.

11
When called, the parameterless function associated with an enumeration
literal returns the corresponding value of the enumeration type.

     NOTES

12
     30  If an enumeration literal occurs in a context that does not
     otherwise suffice to determine the type of the literal, then
     qualification by the name of the enumeration type is one way to
     resolve the ambiguity (see *note 4.7::).

                              _Examples_

13
<Examples of enumeration types and subtypes: >

14
     type Day    is (Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun);
     type Suit   is (Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts, Spades);
     type Gender is (M, F);
     type Level  is (Low, Medium, Urgent);
     type Color  is (White, Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, Brown, Black);
     type Light  is (Red, Amber, Green); --< Red and Green are overloaded>

15
     type Hexa   is ('A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F');
     type Mixed  is ('A', 'B', '*', B, None, '?', '%');

16
     subtype Weekday is Day   range Mon .. Fri;
     subtype Major   is Suit  range Hearts .. Spades;
     subtype Rainbow is Color range Red .. Blue;  --<  the Color Red, not the Light>

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

16.a
          The syntax rule for defining_character_literal is new.  It is
          used for the defining occurrence of a character_literal,
          analogously to defining_identifier.  Usage occurrences use the
          name or selector_name syntactic categories.

16.b
          We emphasize the fact that an enumeration literal denotes a
          function, which is called to produce a value.

                   _Incompatibilities With Ada 2005_

16.c/3
          {<AI05-0227-1AI05-0227-1>} Correction: Required that all
          enumeration literals in a type have distinct images; this
          might not be the case since upper case conversion can map
          distinct characters to the same upper case character.  This
          can only happen for identifiers using Unicode characters first
          allowed by Ada 2005; moreover, the original definition of Ada
          2005 was confused and appeared to require inconsistent results
          from the Image attribute, so implementations that allowed
          problematic cases are rare; the problematic cases are very
          rare; so it is expected that this change would only affect
          test programs.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

16.d/3
          {<AI05-0006-1AI05-0006-1>} Correction: Defined the result
          subtype of an enumeration literal to close a minor language
          hole.

3.5.2 Character Types
---------------------

                          _Static Semantics_

1
An enumeration type is said to be a <character type> if at least one of
its enumeration literals is a character_literal.

2/3
{<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} {<AI05-0181-1AI05-0181-1>}
{<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} {<AI05-0266-1AI05-0266-1>} The predefined
type Character is a character type whose values correspond to the 256
code points of Row 00 (also known as Latin-1) of the ISO/IEC 10646:2011
Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP). Each of the graphic characters of Row 00
of the BMP has a corresponding character_literal in Character.  Each of
the nongraphic characters of Row 00 has a corresponding language-defined
name, which is not usable as an enumeration literal, but which is usable
with the attributes Image, Wide_Image, Wide_Wide_Image, Value,
Wide_Value, and Wide_Wide_Value; these names are given in the definition
of type Character in *note A.1::, "*note A.1:: The Package Standard",
but are set in <italics>.  

2.a/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} <Code point> is defined
          in ISO/IEC 10646:2011.

3/3
{<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} The predefined
type Wide_Character is a character type whose values correspond to the
65536 code points of the ISO/IEC 10646:2011 Basic Multilingual Plane
(BMP). Each of the graphic characters of the BMP has a corresponding
character_literal in Wide_Character.  The first 256 values of
Wide_Character have the same character_literal or language-defined name
as defined for Character.  Each of the graphic_characters has a
corresponding character_literal.

4/3
{<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} The predefined
type Wide_Wide_Character is a character type whose values correspond to
the 2147483648 code points of the ISO/IEC 10646:2011 character set.
Each of the graphic_characters has a corresponding character_literal in
Wide_Wide_Character.  The first 65536 values of Wide_Wide_Character have
the same character_literal or language-defined name as defined for
Wide_Character.

5/3
{<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} The characters
whose code point is larger than 16#FF# and which are not
graphic_characters have language-defined names which are formed by
appending to the string "Hex_" the representation of their code point in
hexadecimal as eight extended digits.  As with other language-defined
names, these names are usable only with the attributes (Wide_)Wide_Image
and (Wide_)Wide_Value; they are not usable as enumeration literals.

5.a/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} The language-defined
          names are not usable as enumeration literals to avoid
          "polluting" the name space.  Since Wide_Character and
          Wide_Wide_Character are defined in Standard, if the
          language-defined names were usable as enumeration literals,
          they would hide other nonoverloadable declarations with the
          same names in use-d packages.]}

<Paragraphs 6 and 7 were deleted.>

     NOTES

8
     31  The language-defined library package Characters.Latin_1 (see
     *note A.3.3::) includes the declaration of constants denoting
     control characters, lower case characters, and special characters
     of the predefined type Character.

8.a
          To be honest: The package ASCII does the same, but only for
          the first 128 characters of Character.  Hence, it is an
          obsolescent package, and we no longer mention it here.

9/3
     32  {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} A conventional character set such as
     <EBCDIC> can be declared as a character type; the internal codes of
     the characters can be specified by an
     enumeration_representation_clause as explained in subclause *note
     13.4::.

                              _Examples_

10
<Example of a character type: >

11
     type Roman_Digit is ('I', 'V', 'X', 'L', 'C', 'D', 'M');

                     _Inconsistencies With Ada 83_

11.a
          The declaration of Wide_Character in package Standard hides
          use-visible declarations with the same defining identifier.
          In the unlikely event that an Ada 83 program had depended on
          such a use-visible declaration, and the program remains legal
          after the substitution of Standard.Wide_Character, the meaning
          of the program will be different.

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 83_

11.b
          The presence of Wide_Character in package Standard means that
          an expression such as

11.c
               'a' = 'b'

11.d
          is ambiguous in Ada 95, whereas in Ada 83 both literals could
          be resolved to be of type Character.

11.e
          The change in visibility rules (see *note 4.2::) for character
          literals means that additional qualification might be
          necessary to resolve expressions involving overloaded
          subprograms and character literals.

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

11.f
          The type Character has been extended to have 256 positions,
          and the type Wide_Character has been added.  Note that this
          change was already approved by the ARG for Ada 83 conforming
          compilers.

11.g
          The rules for referencing character literals are changed (see
          *note 4.2::), so that the declaration of the character type
          need not be directly visible to use its literals, similar to
          null and string literals.  Context is used to resolve their
          type.

                     _Inconsistencies With Ada 95_

11.h/2
          {<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} Ada 95 defined most characters
          in Wide_Character to be graphic characters, while Ada 2005
          uses the categorizations from ISO-10646:2003.  It also
          provides language-defined names for all nongraphic characters.
          That means that in Ada 2005, Wide_Character'Wide_Value will
          raise Constraint_Error for a string representing a
          character_literal of a nongraphic character, while Ada 95
          would have accepted it.  Similarly, the result of
          Wide_Character'Wide_Image will change for such nongraphic
          characters.

11.i/3
          {<AI95-00395-01AI95-00395-01>} {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>}
          {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} The language-defined names FFFE and
          FFFF were replaced by a consistent set of language-defined
          names for all nongraphic characters with code points greater
          than 16#FF#.  That means that in Ada 2005,
          Wide_Character'Wide_Value("FFFE") will raise Constraint_Error
          while Ada 95 would have accepted it.  Similarly, the result of
          Wide_Character'Wide_Image will change for the position numbers
          16#FFFE# and 16#FFFF#.  It is very unlikely that this will
          matter in practice, as these names do not represent usable
          characters.

11.j/2
          {<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} {<AI95-00395-01AI95-00395-01>}
          Because of the previously mentioned changes to the
          Wide_Character'Wide_Image of various character values, the
          value of attribute Wide_Width will change for some subtypes of
          Wide_Character.  However, the new language-defined names were
          chosen so that the value of Wide_Character'Wide_Width itself
          does not change.

11.k/2
          {<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} The declaration of
          Wide_Wide_Character in package Standard hides use-visible
          declarations with the same defining identifier.  In the (very)
          unlikely event that an Ada 95 program had depended on such a
          use-visible declaration, and the program remains legal after
          the substitution of Standard.Wide_Wide_Character, the meaning
          of the program will be different.

                        _Extensions to Ada 95_

11.l/2
          {<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} The type Wide_Wide_Character is
          new.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

11.m/2
          {<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} Characters are now defined in
          terms of the entire ISO/IEC 10646:2003 character set.

11.n/3
          {<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} {<AI05-0248-1AI05-0248-1>} We
          dropped the Implementation Advice for nonstandard
          interpretation of character sets; an implementation can do
          what it wants in a nonstandard mode, so there isn't much point
          to any advice.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

11.o/3
          {<AI05-0181-1AI05-0181-1>} Correction: Removed the position
          numbers of nongraphic characters from the text, as it is wrong
          and thus misleading.

11.p/3
          {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} Changed "code position" to "code
          point" consistently throughout the standard, as ISO/IEC
          10646:2011 prefers "code point" and we are referring to the
          definition in that Standard.  This change also reduces
          confusion between "code point" and "position number"; while
          these have the same values for the predefined character types,
          there is no required relationship for other character types.

3.5.3 Boolean Types
-------------------

                          _Static Semantics_

1
There is a predefined enumeration type named Boolean, [declared in the
visible part of package Standard].  It has the two enumeration literals
False and True ordered with the relation False < True.  Any descendant
of the predefined type Boolean is called a <boolean> type.

1.a
          Implementation Note: An implementation is not required to
          support enumeration representation clauses on boolean types
          that impose an unacceptable implementation burden.  See *note
          13.4::, "*note 13.4:: Enumeration Representation Clauses".
          However, it is generally straightforward to support
          representations where False is zero and True is 2**n - 1 for
          some n.


File: aarm2012.info,  Node: 3.5.4,  Next: 3.5.5,  Prev: 3.5.3,  Up: 3.5

3.5.4 Integer Types
-------------------

1
An integer_type_definition defines an integer type; it defines either a
<signed> integer type, or a <modular> integer type.  The base range of a
signed integer type includes at least the values of the specified range.
A modular type is an integer type with all arithmetic modulo a specified
positive <modulus>; such a type corresponds to an unsigned type with
wrap-around semantics.  

                               _Syntax_

2
     integer_type_definition ::= signed_integer_type_definition | 
     modular_type_definition

3
     signed_integer_type_definition ::= range <static_>
     simple_expression .. <static_>simple_expression

3.a
          Discussion: We don't call this a range_constraint, because it
          is rather different -- not only is it required to be static,
          but the associated overload resolution rules are different
          than for normal range constraints.  A similar comment applies
          to real_range_specification.  This used to be
          integer_range_specification but when we added support for
          modular types, it seemed overkill to have three levels of
          syntax rules, and just calling these
          signed_integer_range_specification and
          modular_range_specification loses the fact that they are
          defining different classes of types, which is important for
          the generic type matching rules.

4
     modular_type_definition ::= mod <static_>expression

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

5
Each simple_expression in a signed_integer_type_definition is expected
to be of any integer type; they need not be of the same type.  The
expression in a modular_type_definition is likewise expected to be of
any integer type.

                           _Legality Rules_

6
The simple_expressions of a signed_integer_type_definition shall be
static, and their values shall be in the range System.Min_Int ..
System.Max_Int.

7
The expression of a modular_type_definition shall be static, and its
value (the <modulus>) shall be positive, and shall be no greater than
System.Max_Binary_Modulus if a power of 2, or no greater than
System.Max_Nonbinary_Modulus if not.

7.a
          Reason: For a 2's-complement machine, supporting nonbinary
          moduli greater than System.Max_Int can be quite difficult,
          whereas essentially any binary moduli are straightforward to
          support, up to 2*System.Max_Int+2, so this justifies having
          two separate limits.

                          _Static Semantics_

8
The set of values for a signed integer type is the (infinite) set of
mathematical integers[, though only values of the base range of the type
are fully supported for run-time operations].  The set of values for a
modular integer type are the values from 0 to one less than the modulus,
inclusive.

9
A signed_integer_type_definition defines an integer type whose base
range includes at least the values of the simple_expressions and is
symmetric about zero, excepting possibly an extra negative value.  A
signed_integer_type_definition also defines a constrained first subtype
of the type, with a range whose bounds are given by the values of the
simple_expressions, converted to the type being defined.

9.a/2
          Implementation Note: {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} The base
          range of a signed integer type might be much larger than is
          necessary to satisfy the above requirements.

9.a.1/1
          To be honest: The conversion mentioned above is not an
          <implicit subtype conversion> (which is something that happens
          at overload resolution, see *note 4.6::), although it happens
          implicitly.  Therefore, the freezing rules are not invoked on
          the type (which is important so that representation items can
          be given for the type).  

10
A modular_type_definition defines a modular type whose base range is
from zero to one less than the given modulus.  A modular_type_definition
also defines a constrained first subtype of the type with a range that
is the same as the base range of the type.

11
There is a predefined signed integer subtype named Integer[, declared in
the visible part of package Standard].  It is constrained to the base
range of its type.

11.a
          Reason: Integer is a constrained subtype, rather than an
          unconstrained subtype.  This means that on assignment to an
          object of subtype Integer, a range check is required.  On the
          other hand, an object of subtype Integer'Base is
          unconstrained, and no range check (only overflow check) is
          required on assignment.  For example, if the object is held in
          an extended-length register, its value might be outside of
          Integer'First ..  Integer'Last.  All parameter and result
          subtypes of the predefined integer operators are of such
          unconstrained subtypes, allowing extended-length registers to
          be used as operands or for the result.  In an earlier version
          of Ada 95, Integer was unconstrained.  However, the fact that
          certain Constraint_Errors might be omitted or appear elsewhere
          was felt to be an undesirable upward inconsistency in this
          case.  Note that for Float, the opposite conclusion was
          reached, partly because of the high cost of performing range
          checks when not actually necessary.  Objects of subtype Float
          are unconstrained, and no range checks, only overflow checks,
          are performed for them.

12
Integer has two predefined subtypes, [declared in the visible part of
package Standard:]

13
     subtype Natural  is Integer range 0 .. Integer'Last;
     subtype Positive is Integer range 1 .. Integer'Last;

14
A type defined by an integer_type_definition is implicitly derived from
<root_integer>, an anonymous predefined (specific) integer type, whose
base range is System.Min_Int ..  System.Max_Int.  However, the base
range of the new type is not inherited from <root_integer>, but is
instead determined by the range or modulus specified by the
integer_type_definition.  [Integer literals are all of the type
<universal_integer>, the universal type (see *note 3.4.1::) for the
class rooted at <root_integer>, allowing their use with the operations
of any integer type.]

14.a
          Discussion: This implicit derivation is not considered exactly
          equivalent to explicit derivation via a
          derived_type_definition.  In particular, integer types defined
          via a derived_type_definition inherit their base range from
          their parent type.  A type defined by an
          integer_type_definition does not necessarily inherit its base
          range from <root_integer>.  It is not specified whether the
          implicit derivation from <root_integer> is direct or indirect,
          not that it really matters.  All we want is for all integer
          types to be descendants of <root_integer>.

14.a.1/1
          {<8652/00998652/0099>} {<AI95-00152-01AI95-00152-01>} Note
          that this derivation does not imply any inheritance of
          subprograms.  Subprograms are inherited only for types derived
          by a derived_type_definition (*note 3.4: S0035.) (see *note
          3.4::), or a private_extension_declaration (*note 7.3: S0194.)
          (see *note 7.3::, *note 7.3.1::, and *note 12.5.1::).

14.b
          Implementation Note: It is the intent that even nonstandard
          integer types (see below) will be descendants of
          <root_integer>, even though they might have a base range that
          exceeds that of <root_integer>.  This causes no problem for
          static calculations, which are performed without range
          restrictions (see *note 4.9::).  However for run-time
          calculations, it is possible that Constraint_Error might be
          raised when using an operator of <root_integer> on the result
          of 'Val applied to a value of a nonstandard integer type.

15
The <position number> of an integer value is equal to the value.

16/2
{<AI95-00340-01AI95-00340-01>} For every modular subtype S, the
following attributes are defined:

16.1/2
S'Mod
               {<AI95-00340-01AI95-00340-01>} S'Mod denotes a function
               with the following specification:

16.2/2
                    function S'Mod (<Arg> : <universal_integer>)
                      return S'Base

16.3/2
               This function returns <Arg> mod S'Modulus, as a value of
               the type of S.

17
S'Modulus
               S'Modulus yields the modulus of the type of S, as a value
               of the type <universal_integer>.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

18
The elaboration of an integer_type_definition creates the integer type
and its first subtype.

19
For a modular type, if the result of the execution of a predefined
operator (see *note 4.5::) is outside the base range of the type, the
result is reduced modulo the modulus of the type to a value that is
within the base range of the type.

20
For a signed integer type, the exception Constraint_Error is raised by
the execution of an operation that cannot deliver the correct result
because it is outside the base range of the type.  [ For any integer
type, Constraint_Error is raised by the operators "/", "rem", and "mod"
if the right operand is zero.]

                     _Implementation Requirements_

21
In an implementation, the range of Integer shall include the range
-2**15+1 ..  +2**15-1.

22
If Long_Integer is predefined for an implementation, then its range
shall include the range -2**31+1 ..  +2**31-1.

23
System.Max_Binary_Modulus shall be at least 2**16.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

24
For the execution of a predefined operation of a signed integer type,
the implementation need not raise Constraint_Error if the result is
outside the base range of the type, so long as the correct result is
produced.

24.a
          Discussion: Constraint_Error is never raised for operations on
          modular types, except for divide-by-zero (and
          rem/mod-by-zero).

25
An implementation may provide additional predefined signed integer
types[, declared in the visible part of Standard], whose first subtypes
have names of the form Short_Integer, Long_Integer, Short_Short_Integer,
Long_Long_Integer, etc.  Different predefined integer types are allowed
to have the same base range.  However, the range of Integer should be no
wider than that of Long_Integer.  Similarly, the range of Short_Integer
(if provided) should be no wider than Integer.  Corresponding
recommendations apply to any other predefined integer types.  There need
not be a named integer type corresponding to each distinct base range
supported by an implementation.  The range of each first subtype should
be the base range of its type.

25.a
          Implementation defined: The predefined integer types declared
          in Standard.

26
An implementation may provide <nonstandard integer types>, descendants
of <root_integer> that are declared outside of the specification of
package Standard, which need not have all the standard characteristics
of a type defined by an integer_type_definition.  For example, a
nonstandard integer type might have an asymmetric base range or it might
not be allowed as an array or loop index (a very long integer).  Any
type descended from a nonstandard integer type is also nonstandard.  An
implementation may place arbitrary restrictions on the use of such
types; it is implementation defined whether operators that are
predefined for "any integer type" are defined for a particular
nonstandard integer type.  [In any case, such types are not permitted as
explicit_generic_actual_parameters for formal scalar types -- see *note
12.5.2::.]

26.a
          Implementation defined: Any nonstandard integer types and the
          operators defined for them.

27
For a one's complement machine, the high bound of the base range of a
modular type whose modulus is one less than a power of 2 may be equal to
the modulus, rather than one less than the modulus.  It is
implementation defined for which powers of 2, if any, this permission is
exercised.

27.1/1
{<8652/00038652/0003>} {<AI95-00095-01AI95-00095-01>} For a one's
complement machine, implementations may support nonbinary modulus values
greater than System.Max_Nonbinary_Modulus.  It is implementation defined
which specific values greater than System.Max_Nonbinary_Modulus, if any,
are supported.

27.a.1/1
          Reason: On a one's complement machine, the natural full word
          type would have a modulus of 2**Word_Size-1.  However, we
          would want to allow the all-ones bit pattern (which represents
          negative zero as a number) in logical operations.  These
          permissions are intended to allow that and the natural modulus
          value without burdening implementations with supporting
          expensive modulus values.

                        _Implementation Advice_

28
An implementation should support Long_Integer in addition to Integer if
the target machine supports 32-bit (or longer) arithmetic.  No other
named integer subtypes are recommended for package Standard.  Instead,
appropriate named integer subtypes should be provided in the library
package Interfaces (see *note B.2::).

28.a.1/2
          Implementation Advice: Long_Integer should be declared in
          Standard if the target supports 32-bit arithmetic.  No other
          named integer subtypes should be declared in Standard.

28.a
          Implementation Note: To promote portability, implementations
          should explicitly declare the integer (sub)types Integer and
          Long_Integer in Standard, and leave other predefined integer
          types anonymous.  For implementations that already support
          Byte_Integer, etc., upward compatibility argues for keeping
          such declarations in Standard during the transition period,
          but perhaps generating a warning on use.  A separate package
          Interfaces in the predefined environment is available for
          pre-declaring types such as Integer_8, Integer_16, etc.  See
          *note B.2::.  In any case, if the user declares a subtype
          (first or not) whose range fits in, for example, a byte, the
          implementation can store variables of the subtype in a single
          byte, even if the base range of the type is wider.

29
An implementation for a two's complement machine should support modular
types with a binary modulus up to System.Max_Int*2+2.  An implementation
should support a nonbinary modulus up to Integer'Last.

29.a.1/2
          Implementation Advice: For a two's complement target, modular
          types with a binary modulus up to System.Max_Int*2+2 should be
          supported.  A nonbinary modulus up to Integer'Last should be
          supported.

29.a
          Reason: Modular types provide bit-wise "and", "or", "xor", and
          "not" operations.  It is important for systems programming
          that these be available for all integer types of the target
          hardware.

29.b
          Ramification: Note that on a one's complement machine, the
          largest supported modular type would normally have a nonbinary
          modulus.  On a two's complement machine, the largest supported
          modular type would normally have a binary modulus.

29.c
          Implementation Note: Supporting a nonbinary modulus greater
          than Integer'Last can impose an undesirable implementation
          burden on some machines.

     NOTES

30
     33  Integer literals are of the anonymous predefined integer type
     <universal_integer>.  Other integer types have no literals.
     However, the overload resolution rules (see *note 8.6::, "*note
     8.6:: The Context of Overload Resolution") allow expressions of the
     type <universal_integer> whenever an integer type is expected.

31
     34  The same arithmetic operators are predefined for all signed
     integer types defined by a signed_integer_type_definition (see
     *note 4.5::, "*note 4.5:: Operators and Expression Evaluation").
     For modular types, these same operators are predefined, plus
     bit-wise logical operators (and, or, xor, and not).  In addition,
     for the unsigned types declared in the language-defined package
     Interfaces (see *note B.2::), functions are defined that provide
     bit-wise shifting and rotating.

32
     35  Modular types match a generic_formal_parameter_declaration of
     the form "type T is mod <>;"; signed integer types match "type T is
     range <>;" (see *note 12.5.2::).

                              _Examples_

33
<Examples of integer types and subtypes: >

34
     type Page_Num  is range 1 .. 2_000;
     type Line_Size is range 1 .. Max_Line_Size;

35
     subtype Small_Int   is Integer   range -10 .. 10;
     subtype Column_Ptr  is Line_Size range 1 .. 10;
     subtype Buffer_Size is Integer   range 0 .. Max;

36
     type Byte        is mod 256; --< an unsigned byte>
     type Hash_Index  is mod 97;  --< modulus is prime>

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

36.a
          An implementation is allowed to support any number of distinct
          base ranges for integer types, even if fewer integer types are
          explicitly declared in Standard.

36.b
          Modular (unsigned, wrap-around) types are new.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

36.c
          Ada 83's integer types are now called "signed" integer types,
          to contrast them with "modular" integer types.

36.d
          Standard.Integer, Standard.Long_Integer, etc., denote
          constrained subtypes of predefined integer types, consistent
          with the Ada 95 model that only subtypes have names.

36.e
          We now impose minimum requirements on the base range of
          Integer and Long_Integer.

36.f
          We no longer explain integer type definition in terms of an
          equivalence to a normal type derivation, except to say that
          all integer types are by definition implicitly derived from
          <root_integer>.  This is for various reasons.

36.g
          First of all, the equivalence with a type derivation and a
          subtype declaration was not perfect, and was the source of
          various AIs (for example, is the conversion of the bounds
          static?  Is a numeric type a derived type with respect to
          other rules of the language?)

36.h
          Secondly, we don't want to require that every integer size
          supported shall have a corresponding named type in Standard.
          Adding named types to Standard creates nonportabilities.

36.i
          Thirdly, we don't want the set of types that match a formal
          derived type "type T is new Integer;" to depend on the
          particular underlying integer representation chosen to
          implement a given user-defined integer type.  Hence, we would
          have needed anonymous integer types as parent types for the
          implicit derivation anyway.  We have simply chosen to identify
          only one anonymous integer type -- <root_integer>, and stated
          that every integer type is derived from it.

36.j
          Finally, the "fiction" that there were distinct preexisting
          predefined types for every supported representation breaks
          down for fixed point with arbitrary smalls, and was never
          exploited for enumeration types, array types, etc.  Hence,
          there seems little benefit to pushing an explicit equivalence
          between integer type definition and normal type derivation.

                        _Extensions to Ada 95_

36.k/2
          {<AI95-00340-01AI95-00340-01>} The Mod attribute is new.  It
          eases mixing of signed and unsigned values in an expression,
          which can be difficult as there may be no type which can
          contain all of the values of both of the types involved.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

36.l/2
          {<8652/00038652/0003>} {<AI95-00095-01AI95-00095-01>}
          Corrigendum: Added additional permissions for modular types on
          one's complement machines.

3.5.5 Operations of Discrete Types
----------------------------------

                          _Static Semantics_

1
For every discrete subtype S, the following attributes are defined:

2
S'Pos
               S'Pos denotes a function with the following
               specification:

3
                    function S'Pos(<Arg> : S'Base)
                      return <universal_integer>

4
               This function returns the position number of the value of
               <Arg>, as a value of type <universal_integer>.

5
S'Val
               S'Val denotes a function with the following
               specification:

6
                    function S'Val(<Arg> : <universal_integer>)
                      return S'Base

7
               This function returns a value of the type of S whose
               position number equals the value of <Arg>.  For the
               evaluation of a call on S'Val, if there is no value in
               the base range of its type with the given position
               number, Constraint_Error is raised.

7.a
          Ramification: By the overload resolution rules, a formal
          parameter of type <universal_integer> allows an actual
          parameter of any integer type.

7.b
          Reason: We considered allowing S'Val for a signed integer
          subtype S to return an out-of-range value, but since checks
          were required for enumeration and modular types anyway, the
          allowance didn't seem worth the complexity of the rule.

7.1/4
{<AI05-0297-1AI05-0297-1>} {<AI12-0071-1AI12-0071-1>} For every static
discrete subtype S for which there exists at least one value belonging
to S that satisfies the predicates of S, the following attributes are
defined:

7.2/4
S'First_Valid
               {<AI05-0297-1AI05-0297-1>} {<AI12-0071-1AI12-0071-1>}
               S'First_Valid denotes the smallest value that belongs to
               S and satisfies the predicates of S. The value of this
               attribute is of the type of S.

7.3/4
S'Last_Valid
               {<AI05-0297-1AI05-0297-1>} {<AI12-0071-1AI12-0071-1>}
               S'Last_Valid denotes the largest value that belongs to S
               and satisfies the predicates of S. The value of this
               attribute is of the type of S.

7.4/3
{<AI05-0297-1AI05-0297-1>} [First_Valid and Last_Valid
attribute_references are always static expressions.  Any explicit
predicate of S can only have been specified by a Static_Predicate
aspect.]

7.c/3
          Proof: An attribute_reference is static if the prefix is a
          static subtype (see *note 4.9::), (true by definition) and any
          arguments are static (there are none).  Similarly, a dynamic
          predicate always makes a subtype nonstatic.  QED.

7.d/3
          Reason: We require there to be at least one value so that
          these are always values of the subtype.  (This sidesteps the
          question of what to return for a subtype with no values.)

7.e/3
          Discussion: These attributes are intended primarily for use in
          the case where the Static_Predicate aspect of S has been
          specified; First and Last are equivalent if these are allowed
          and there is no predicate.

                        _Implementation Advice_

8
For the evaluation of a call on S'Pos for an enumeration subtype, if the
value of the operand does not correspond to the internal code for any
enumeration literal of its type [(perhaps due to an uninitialized
variable)], then the implementation should raise Program_Error.  This is
particularly important for enumeration types with noncontiguous internal
codes specified by an enumeration_representation_clause (*note 13.4:
S0311.).

8.a.1/2
          Implementation Advice: Program_Error should be raised for the
          evaluation of S'Pos for an enumeration type, if the value of
          the operand does not correspond to the internal code for any
          enumeration literal of the type.

8.a
          Reason: We say Program_Error here, rather than
          Constraint_Error, because the main reason for such values is
          uninitialized variables, and the normal way to indicate such a
          use (if detected) is to raise Program_Error.  (Other reasons
          would involve the misuse of low-level features such as
          Unchecked_Conversion.)

     NOTES

9
     36  Indexing and loop iteration use values of discrete types.

10/3
     37  {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} The predefined operations of a
     discrete type include the assignment operation, qualification, the
     membership tests, and the relational operators; for a boolean type
     they include the short-circuit control forms and the logical
     operators; for an integer type they include type conversion to and
     from other numeric types, as well as the binary and unary adding
     operators - and +, the multiplying operators, the unary operator
     abs, and the exponentiation operator.  The assignment operation is
     described in *note 5.2::.  The other predefined operations are
     described in Clause *note 4::.

11
     38  As for all types, objects of a discrete type have Size and
     Address attributes (see *note 13.3::).

12
     39  For a subtype of a discrete type, the result delivered by the
     attribute Val might not belong to the subtype; similarly, the
     actual parameter of the attribute Pos need not belong to the
     subtype.  The following relations are satisfied (in the absence of
     an exception) by these attributes:

13
             S'Val(S'Pos(X)) = X
             S'Pos(S'Val(N)) = N

                              _Examples_

3.5.6 Real Types
----------------

1
Real types provide approximations to the real numbers, with relative
bounds on errors for floating point types, and with absolute bounds for
fixed point types.

                               _Syntax_

2
     real_type_definition ::=
        floating_point_definition | fixed_point_definition

                          _Static Semantics_

3
A type defined by a real_type_definition is implicitly derived from
<root_real>, an anonymous predefined (specific) real type.  [Hence, all
real types, whether floating point or fixed point, are in the derivation
class rooted at <root_real>.]

3.a
          Ramification: It is not specified whether the derivation from
          <root_real> is direct or indirect, not that it really matters.
          All we want is for all real types to be descendants of
          <root_real>.

3.a.1/1
          {<8652/00998652/0099>} {<AI95-00152-01AI95-00152-01>} Note
          that this derivation does not imply any inheritance of
          subprograms.  Subprograms are inherited only for types derived
          by a derived_type_definition (*note 3.4: S0035.) (see *note
          3.4::), or a private_extension_declaration (*note 7.3: S0194.)
          (see *note 7.3::, *note 7.3.1::, and *note 12.5.1::).

4
[ Real literals are all of the type <universal_real>, the universal type
(see *note 3.4.1::) for the class rooted at <root_real>, allowing their
use with the operations of any real type.  Certain multiplying operators
have a result type of <universal_fixed> (see *note 4.5.5::), the
universal type for the class of fixed point types, allowing the result
of the multiplication or division to be used where any specific fixed
point type is expected.]

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

5
The elaboration of a real_type_definition consists of the elaboration of
the floating_point_definition or the fixed_point_definition.

                     _Implementation Requirements_

6
An implementation shall perform the run-time evaluation of a use of a
predefined operator of <root_real> with an accuracy at least as great as
that of any floating point type definable by a
floating_point_definition.

6.a
          Ramification: Static calculations using the operators of
          <root_real> are exact, as for all static calculations.  See
          *note 4.9::.

6.b
          Implementation Note: The Digits attribute of the type used to
          represent <root_real> at run time is at least as great as that
          of any other floating point type defined by a
          floating_point_definition, and its safe range includes that of
          any such floating point type with the same Digits attribute.
          On some machines, there might be real types with less accuracy
          but a wider range, and hence run-time calculations with
          <root_real> might not be able to accommodate all values that
          can be represented at run time in such floating point or fixed
          point types.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

7/2
{<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} [For the execution of a predefined
operation of a real type, the implementation need not raise
Constraint_Error if the result is outside the base range of the type, so
long as the correct result is produced, or the Machine_Overflows
attribute of the type is False (see *note G.2::).]

8
An implementation may provide <nonstandard real types>, descendants of
<root_real> that are declared outside of the specification of package
Standard, which need not have all the standard characteristics of a type
defined by a real_type_definition.  For example, a nonstandard real type
might have an asymmetric or unsigned base range, or its predefined
operations might wrap around or "saturate" rather than overflow (modular
or saturating arithmetic), or it might not conform to the accuracy model
(see *note G.2::).  Any type descended from a nonstandard real type is
also nonstandard.  An implementation may place arbitrary restrictions on
the use of such types; it is implementation defined whether operators
that are predefined for "any real type" are defined for a particular
nonstandard real type.  [In any case, such types are not permitted as
explicit_generic_actual_parameters for formal scalar types -- see *note
12.5.2::.]

8.a
          Implementation defined: Any nonstandard real types and the
          operators defined for them.

     NOTES

9
     40  As stated, real literals are of the anonymous predefined real
     type <universal_real>.  Other real types have no literals.
     However, the overload resolution rules (see *note 8.6::) allow
     expressions of the type <universal_real> whenever a real type is
     expected.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

9.a
          The syntax rule for real_type_definition is modified to use
          the new syntactic categories floating_point_definition and
          fixed_point_definition, instead of floating_point_constraint
          and fixed_point_constraint, because the semantics of a type
          definition are significantly different than the semantics of a
          constraint.

9.b
          All discussion of model numbers, safe ranges, and machine
          numbers is moved to *note 3.5.7::, *note 3.5.8::, and *note
          G.2::.  Values of a fixed point type are now described as
          being multiples of the <small> of the fixed point type, and we
          have no need for model numbers, safe ranges, etc.  for fixed
          point types.

3.5.7 Floating Point Types
--------------------------

1
For floating point types, the error bound is specified as a relative
precision by giving the required minimum number of significant decimal
digits.

                               _Syntax_

2
     floating_point_definition ::=
       digits <static_>expression [real_range_specification]

3
     real_range_specification ::=
       range <static_>simple_expression .. <static_>simple_expression

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

4
The <requested decimal precision>, which is the minimum number of
significant decimal digits required for the floating point type, is
specified by the value of the expression given after the reserved word
digits.  This expression is expected to be of any integer type.

5
Each simple_expression of a real_range_specification is expected to be
of any real type[; the types need not be the same].

                           _Legality Rules_

6
The requested decimal precision shall be specified by a static
expression whose value is positive and no greater than
System.Max_Base_Digits.  Each simple_expression of a
real_range_specification shall also be static.  If the
real_range_specification is omitted, the requested decimal precision
shall be no greater than System.Max_Digits.

6.a
          Reason: We have added Max_Base_Digits to package System.  It
          corresponds to the requested decimal precision of <root_real>.
          System.Max_Digits corresponds to the maximum value for Digits
          that may be specified in the absence of a
          real_range_specification, for upward compatibility.  These
          might not be the same if <root_real> has a base range that
          does not include ± 10.0**(4*Max_Base_Digits).

7
A floating_point_definition is illegal if the implementation does not
support a floating point type that satisfies the requested decimal
precision and range.

7.a
          Implementation defined: What combinations of requested decimal
          precision and range are supported for floating point types.

                          _Static Semantics_

8
The set of values for a floating point type is the (infinite) set of
rational numbers.  The <machine numbers> of a floating point type are
the values of the type that can be represented exactly in every
unconstrained variable of the type.  The base range (see *note 3.5::) of
a floating point type is symmetric around zero, except that it can
include some extra negative values in some implementations.

8.a
          Implementation Note: For example, if a 2's complement
          representation is used for the mantissa rather than a
          sign-mantissa or 1's complement representation, then there is
          usually one extra negative machine number.

8.b
          To be honest: If the Signed_Zeros attribute is True, then
          minus zero could in a sense be considered a value of the type.
          However, for most purposes, minus zero behaves the same as
          plus zero.

9
The <base decimal precision> of a floating point type is the number of
decimal digits of precision representable in objects of the type.  The
<safe range> of a floating point type is that part of its base range for
which the accuracy corresponding to the base decimal precision is
preserved by all predefined operations.

9.a
          Implementation Note: In most cases, the safe range and base
          range are the same.  However, for some hardware, values near
          the boundaries of the base range might result in excessive
          inaccuracies or spurious overflows when used with certain
          predefined operations.  For such hardware, the safe range
          would omit such values.

10
A floating_point_definition defines a floating point type whose base
decimal precision is no less than the requested decimal precision.  If a
real_range_specification is given, the safe range of the floating point
type (and hence, also its base range) includes at least the values of
the simple expressions given in the real_range_specification.  If a
real_range_specification is not given, the safe (and base) range of the
type includes at least the values of the range -10.0**(4*D) ..
+10.0**(4*D) where D is the requested decimal precision.  [The safe
range might include other values as well.  The attributes Safe_First and
Safe_Last give the actual bounds of the safe range.]

11
A floating_point_definition also defines a first subtype of the type.  
If a real_range_specification is given, then the subtype is constrained
to a range whose bounds are given by a conversion of the values of the
simple_expressions of the real_range_specification to the type being
defined.  Otherwise, the subtype is unconstrained.

11.a.1/1
          To be honest: The conversion mentioned above is not an
          <implicit subtype conversion> (which is something that happens
          at overload resolution, see *note 4.6::), although it happens
          implicitly.  Therefore, the freezing rules are not invoked on
          the type (which is important so that representation items can
          be given for the type).  

12
There is a predefined, unconstrained, floating point subtype named
Float[, declared in the visible part of package Standard].

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

13
[The elaboration of a floating_point_definition creates the floating
point type and its first subtype.]

                     _Implementation Requirements_

14
In an implementation that supports floating point types with 6 or more
digits of precision, the requested decimal precision for Float shall be
at least 6.

15
If Long_Float is predefined for an implementation, then its requested
decimal precision shall be at least 11.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

16
An implementation is allowed to provide additional predefined floating
point types[, declared in the visible part of Standard], whose
(unconstrained) first subtypes have names of the form Short_Float,
Long_Float, Short_Short_Float, Long_Long_Float, etc.  Different
predefined floating point types are allowed to have the same base
decimal precision.  However, the precision of Float should be no greater
than that of Long_Float.  Similarly, the precision of Short_Float (if
provided) should be no greater than Float.  Corresponding
recommendations apply to any other predefined floating point types.
There need not be a named floating point type corresponding to each
distinct base decimal precision supported by an implementation.

16.a
          Implementation defined: The predefined floating point types
          declared in Standard.

                        _Implementation Advice_

17
An implementation should support Long_Float in addition to Float if the
target machine supports 11 or more digits of precision.  No other named
floating point subtypes are recommended for package Standard.  Instead,
appropriate named floating point subtypes should be provided in the
library package Interfaces (see *note B.2::).

17.a.1/2
          Implementation Advice: Long_Float should be declared in
          Standard if the target supports 11 or more digits of
          precision.  No other named float subtypes should be declared
          in Standard.

17.a
          Implementation Note: To promote portability, implementations
          should explicitly declare the floating point (sub)types Float
          and Long_Float in Standard, and leave other predefined float
          types anonymous.  For implementations that already support
          Short_Float, etc., upward compatibility argues for keeping
          such declarations in Standard during the transition period,
          but perhaps generating a warning on use.  A separate package
          Interfaces in the predefined environment is available for
          pre-declaring types such as Float_32, IEEE_Float_64, etc.  See
          *note B.2::.

     NOTES

18
     41  If a floating point subtype is unconstrained, then assignments
     to variables of the subtype involve only Overflow_Checks, never
     Range_Checks.

                              _Examples_

19
<Examples of floating point types and subtypes:>

20
     type Coefficient is digits 10 range -1.0 .. 1.0;

21
     type Real is digits 8;
     type Mass is digits 7 range 0.0 .. 1.0E35;

22
     subtype Probability is Real range 0.0 .. 1.0;   --<   a subtype with a smaller range>

                     _Inconsistencies With Ada 83_

22.a
          No Range_Checks, only Overflow_Checks, are performed on
          variables (or parameters) of an unconstrained floating point
          subtype.  This is upward compatible for programs that do not
          raise Constraint_Error.  For those that do raise
          Constraint_Error, it is possible that the exception will be
          raised at a later point, or not at all, if extended range
          floating point registers are used to hold the value of the
          variable (or parameter).

22.b
          Reason: This change was felt to be justified by the
          possibility of improved performance on machines with
          extended-range floating point registers.  An implementation
          need not take advantage of this relaxation in the range
          checking; it can hide completely the use of extended range
          registers if desired, presumably at some run-time expense.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

22.c
          The syntax rules for floating_point_constraint and
          floating_accuracy_definition are removed.  The syntax rules
          for floating_point_definition and real_range_specification are
          new.

22.d
          A syntax rule for digits_constraint is given in *note 3.5.9::,
          "*note 3.5.9:: Fixed Point Types".  In *note J.3:: we indicate
          that a digits_constraint may be applied to a floating point
          subtype_mark as well (to be compatible with Ada 83's
          floating_point_constraint).

22.e
          Discussion of model numbers is postponed to *note 3.5.8:: and
          *note G.2::.  The concept of safe numbers has been replaced by
          the concept of the safe range of values.  The bounds of the
          safe range are given by T'Safe_First ..  T'Safe_Last, rather
          than -T'Safe_Large ..  T'Safe_Large, since on some machines
          the safe range is not perfectly symmetric.  The concept of
          machine numbers is new, and is relevant to the definition of
          Succ and Pred for floating point numbers.

3.5.8 Operations of Floating Point Types
----------------------------------------

                          _Static Semantics_

1
The following attribute is defined for every floating point subtype S:

2/1
S'Digits
               {<8652/00048652/0004>} {<AI95-00203-01AI95-00203-01>}
               S'Digits denotes the requested decimal precision for the
               subtype S. The value of this attribute is of the type
               <universal_integer>.  The requested decimal precision of
               the base subtype of a floating point type <T> is defined
               to be the largest value of <d> for which
               ceiling(<d> * log(10) / log(T'Machine_Radix)) + <g> <=
               T'Model_Mantissa
               where g is 0 if Machine_Radix is a positive power of 10
               and 1 otherwise.

     NOTES

3
     42  The predefined operations of a floating point type include the
     assignment operation, qualification, the membership tests, and
     explicit conversion to and from other numeric types.  They also
     include the relational operators and the following predefined
     arithmetic operators: the binary and unary adding operators - and
     +, certain multiplying operators, the unary operator abs, and the
     exponentiation operator.

4
     43  As for all types, objects of a floating point type have Size
     and Address attributes (see *note 13.3::).  Other attributes of
     floating point types are defined in *note A.5.3::.

3.5.9 Fixed Point Types
-----------------------

1
A fixed point type is either an ordinary fixed point type, or a decimal
fixed point type.  The error bound of a fixed point type is specified as
an absolute value, called the <delta> of the fixed point type.

                               _Syntax_

2
     fixed_point_definition ::= ordinary_fixed_point_definition | 
     decimal_fixed_point_definition

3
     ordinary_fixed_point_definition ::=
        delta <static_>expression  real_range_specification

4
     decimal_fixed_point_definition ::=
        delta <static_>expression digits <static_>expression [
     real_range_specification]

5/4
     {<AI12-0152-1AI12-0152-1>} digits_constraint ::=
        digits <static_>simple_expression [range_constraint]

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

6
For a type defined by a fixed_point_definition, the <delta> of the type
is specified by the value of the expression given after the reserved
word delta; this expression is expected to be of any real type.  For a
type defined by a decimal_fixed_point_definition (a <decimal> fixed
point type), the number of significant decimal digits for its first
subtype (the <digits> of the first subtype) is specified by the
expression given after the reserved word digits; this expression is
expected to be of any integer type.

6.1/4
{<AI12-0159-1AI12-0159-1>} The simple_expression of a digits_constraint
is expected to be of any integer type.

                           _Legality Rules_

7
In a fixed_point_definition or digits_constraint, the expressions given
after the reserved words delta and digits shall be static; their values
shall be positive.

8/2
{<AI95-00100-01AI95-00100-01>} The set of values of a fixed point type
comprise the integral multiples of a number called the <small> of the
type.  The <machine numbers> of a fixed point type are the values of the
type that can be represented exactly in every unconstrained variable of
the type.  For a type defined by an ordinary_fixed_point_definition (an
<ordinary> fixed point type), the <small> may be specified by an
attribute_definition_clause (*note 13.3: S0310.) (see *note 13.3::); if
so specified, it shall be no greater than the <delta> of the type.  If
not specified, the <small> of an ordinary fixed point type is an
implementation-defined power of two less than or equal to the <delta>.

8.a
          Implementation defined: The <small> of an ordinary fixed point
          type.

9
For a decimal fixed point type, the <small> equals the <delta>; the
<delta> shall be a power of 10.  If a real_range_specification is given,
both bounds of the range shall be in the range -(10**<digits>-1)*<delta>
..  +(10**<digits>-1)*<delta>.

10
A fixed_point_definition is illegal if the implementation does not
support a fixed point type with the given <small> and specified range or
<digits>.

10.a
          Implementation defined: What combinations of <small>, range,
          and <digits> are supported for fixed point types.

11
For a subtype_indication with a digits_constraint, the subtype_mark
shall denote a decimal fixed point subtype.

11.a
          To be honest: Or, as an obsolescent feature, a floating point
          subtype is permitted -- see *note J.3::.

                          _Static Semantics_

12
The base range (see *note 3.5::) of a fixed point type is symmetric
around zero, except possibly for an extra negative value in some
implementations.

13
An ordinary_fixed_point_definition defines an ordinary fixed point type
whose base range includes at least all multiples of <small> that are
between the bounds specified in the real_range_specification.  The base
range of the type does not necessarily include the specified bounds
themselves.  An ordinary_fixed_point_definition (*note 3.5.9: S0048.)
also defines a constrained first subtype of the type, with each bound of
its range given by the closer to zero of:

14
   * the value of the conversion to the fixed point type of the
     corresponding expression of the real_range_specification; 

14.a.1/1
          To be honest: The conversion mentioned above is not an
          <implicit subtype conversion> (which is something that happens
          at overload resolution, see *note 4.6::), although it happens
          implicitly.  Therefore, the freezing rules are not invoked on
          the type (which is important so that representation items can
          be given for the type).  

15
   * the corresponding bound of the base range.

16
A decimal_fixed_point_definition defines a decimal fixed point type
whose base range includes at least the range -(10**<digits>-1)*<delta>
..  +(10**<digits>-1)*<delta>.  A decimal_fixed_point_definition also
defines a constrained first subtype of the type.  If a
real_range_specification is given, the bounds of the first subtype are
given by a conversion of the values of the expressions of the
real_range_specification.  Otherwise, the range of the first subtype is
-(10**<digits>-1)*<delta> ..  +(10**<digits>-1)*<delta>.

16.a.1/1
          To be honest: The conversion mentioned above is not an
          <implicit subtype conversion> (which is something that happens
          at overload resolution, see *note 4.6::), although it happens
          implicitly.  Therefore, the freezing rules are not invoked on
          the type (which is important so that representation items can
          be given for the type).  

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

17
The elaboration of a fixed_point_definition creates the fixed point type
and its first subtype.

18/4
{<AI12-0152-1AI12-0152-1>} For a digits_constraint on a decimal fixed
point subtype with a given <delta>, if it does not have a
range_constraint, then it specifies an implicit range
-(10**<D>-1)*<delta> ..  +(10**<D>-1)*<delta>, where <D> is the value of
the simple_expression.  A digits_constraint is <compatible> with a
decimal fixed point subtype if the value of the simple_expression is no
greater than the <digits> of the subtype, and if it specifies
(explicitly or implicitly) a range that is compatible with the subtype.

18.a
          Discussion: Except for the requirement that the <digits>
          specified be no greater than the <digits> of the subtype being
          constrained, a digits_constraint is essentially equivalent to
          a range_constraint.

18.b
          Consider the following example:

18.c
               type D is delta 0.01 digits 7 range -0.00 .. 9999.99;

18.d/1
          The compatibility rule implies that the digits_constraint
          "digits 6" specifies an implicit range of "-9999.99 ..
          9999.99".  Thus, "digits 6" is not compatible with the
          constraint of D, but "digits 6 range 0.00 ..  9999.99" is
          compatible.

18.e/2
          {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} A value of a scalar type
          belongs to a constrained subtype of the type if it belongs to
          the range of the subtype.  Attributes like Digits and Delta
          have no effect on this fundamental rule.  So the obsolescent
          forms of digits_constraints and delta_constraints that are
          called "accuracy constraints" in RM83 don't really represent
          constraints on the values of the subtype, but rather primarily
          affect compatibility of the "constraint" with the subtype
          being "constrained."  In this sense, they might better be
          called "subtype assertions" rather than "constraints."

18.f
          Note that the digits_constraint on a decimal fixed point
          subtype is a combination of an assertion about the <digits> of
          the subtype being further constrained, and a constraint on the
          range of the subtype being defined, either explicit or
          implicit.

19/4
{<AI12-0152-1AI12-0152-1>} The elaboration of a digits_constraint
consists of the elaboration of the range_constraint, if any.  If a
range_constraint is given, a check is made that the bounds of the range
are both in the range -(10**<D>-1)*<delta> ..  +(10**<D>-1)*<delta>,
where <D> is the value of the (static) simple_expression given after the
reserved word digits.  If this check fails, Constraint_Error is raised.

                     _Implementation Requirements_

20
The implementation shall support at least 24 bits of precision
(including the sign bit) for fixed point types.

20.a
          Reason: This is sufficient to represent Standard.Duration with
          a <small> no more than 50 milliseconds.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

21
Implementations are permitted to support only <small>s that are a power
of two.  In particular, all decimal fixed point type declarations can be
disallowed.  Note however that conformance with the Information Systems
Annex requires support for decimal <small>s, and decimal fixed point
type declarations with <digits> up to at least 18.

21.a
          Implementation Note: The accuracy requirements for
          multiplication, division, and conversion (see *note G.2.1::,
          "*note G.2.1:: Model of Floating Point Arithmetic") are such
          that support for arbitrary <small>s should be practical
          without undue implementation effort.  Therefore,
          implementations should support fixed point types with
          arbitrary values for <small> (within reason).  One reasonable
          limitation would be to limit support to fixed point types that
          can be converted to the most precise floating point type
          without loss of precision (so that Fixed_IO is implementable
          in terms of Float_IO).

     NOTES

22
     44  The base range of an ordinary fixed point type need not include
     the specified bounds themselves so that the range specification can
     be given in a natural way, such as:

23
             type Fraction is delta 2.0**(-15) range -1.0 .. 1.0;
  

24
     With 2's complement hardware, such a type could have a signed
     16-bit representation, using 1 bit for the sign and 15 bits for
     fraction, resulting in a base range of -1.0 ..  1.0-2.0**(-15).

                              _Examples_

25
<Examples of fixed point types and subtypes:>

26
     type Volt is delta 0.125 range 0.0 .. 255.0;

27
       -- <A pure fraction which requires all the available>
       -- <space in a word can be declared as the type Fraction:>
     type Fraction is delta System.Fine_Delta range -1.0 .. 1.0;
       -- <Fraction'Last = 1.0 - System.Fine_Delta>

28
     type Money is delta 0.01 digits 15;  -- <decimal fixed point>
     subtype Salary is Money digits 10;
       -- <Money'Last = 10.0**13 - 0.01, Salary'Last = 10.0**8 - 0.01>

                     _Inconsistencies With Ada 83_

28.a
          In Ada 95, S'Small always equals S'Base'Small, so if an
          implementation chooses a <small> for a fixed point type
          smaller than required by the <delta>, the value of S'Small in
          Ada 95 might not be the same as it was in Ada 83.

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

28.b/3
          {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} Decimal fixed point types are new,
          though their capabilities are essentially similar to that
          available in Ada 83 with a fixed point type whose <small>
          equals its <delta> and both are a power of 10.  However, in
          the Information Systems Annex, additional requirements are
          placed on the support of decimal fixed point types (e.g.  a
          minimum of 18 digits of precision).

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

28.c
          The syntax rules for fixed_point_constraint and
          fixed_accuracy_definition are removed.  The syntax rule for
          fixed_point_definition is new.  A syntax rule for
          delta_constraint is included in the Obsolescent features (to
          be compatible with Ada 83's fixed_point_constraint).

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

28.d/2
          {<AI95-00100-01AI95-00100-01>} Added wording to define the
          machine numbers of fixed point types; this is needed by the
          static evaluation rules.

                   _Incompatibilities With Ada 2012_

28.e/4
          {<AI12-0152-1AI12-0152-1>} Corrigendum: Changed the syntax so
          that the value following digits in a digits_constraint is a
          simple_expression.  This is compatible with one very unlikely
          exception: if the digits expression is a static expression of
          a modular type using an unparenthesized logical operator (like
          and or or).  Parenthesizing the expression will make it legal
          in that case.  The change is necessary to eliminate syntax
          ambguities in derived_type_definitions.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2012_

28.f/4
          {<AI12-0159-1AI12-0159-1>} Corrigendum:Added wording to define
          the expected type for a digits_constraint.  This was missing
          since Ada 95, but as it is obvious and unchanged from Ada 83,
          we don't consider it an incompatibility.

3.5.10 Operations of Fixed Point Types
--------------------------------------

                          _Static Semantics_

1
The following attributes are defined for every fixed point subtype S:

2/1
S'Small
               {<8652/00058652/0005>} {<AI95-00054-01AI95-00054-01>}
               S'Small denotes the <small> of the type of S. The value
               of this attribute is of the type <universal_real>.  Small
               may be specified for nonderived ordinary fixed point
               types via an attribute_definition_clause (*note 13.3:
               S0310.) (see *note 13.3::); the expression of such a
               clause shall be static.

2.a/3
          Aspect Description for Small: Scale factor for a fixed point
          type.

3
S'Delta
               S'Delta denotes the <delta> of the fixed point subtype S.
               The value of this attribute is of the type
               <universal_real>.

3.a
          Reason: The <delta> is associated with the <sub>type as
          opposed to the type, because of the possibility of an
          (obsolescent) delta_constraint.

4
S'Fore
               S'Fore yields the minimum number of characters needed
               before the decimal point for the decimal representation
               of any value of the subtype S, assuming that the
               representation does not include an exponent, but includes
               a one-character prefix that is either a minus sign or a
               space.  (This minimum number does not include superfluous
               zeros or underlines, and is at least 2.)  The value of
               this attribute is of the type <universal_integer>.

5
S'Aft
               S'Aft yields the number of decimal digits needed after
               the decimal point to accommodate the <delta> of the
               subtype S, unless the <delta> of the subtype S is greater
               than 0.1, in which case the attribute yields the value
               one.  [(S'Aft is the smallest positive integer N for
               which (10**N)*S'Delta is greater than or equal to one.)]
               The value of this attribute is of the type
               <universal_integer>.

6
The following additional attributes are defined for every decimal fixed
point subtype S:

7
S'Digits
               S'Digits denotes the <digits> of the decimal fixed point
               subtype S, which corresponds to the number of decimal
               digits that are representable in objects of the subtype.
               The value of this attribute is of the type
               <universal_integer>.  Its value is determined as follows:
               

8
                  * For a first subtype or a subtype defined by a
                    subtype_indication with a digits_constraint, the
                    digits is the value of the expression given after
                    the reserved word digits;

9
                  * For a subtype defined by a subtype_indication
                    without a digits_constraint, the digits of the
                    subtype is the same as that of the subtype denoted
                    by the subtype_mark in the subtype_indication.

9.a
          Implementation Note: Although a decimal subtype can be both
          range-constrained and digits-constrained, the digits
          constraint is intended to control the Size attribute of the
          subtype.  For decimal types, Size can be important because
          input/output of decimal types is so common.

10
                  * The digits of a base subtype is the largest integer
                    <D> such that the range -(10**<D>-1)*<delta> ..
                    +(10**<D>-1)*<delta> is included in the base range
                    of the type.

11
S'Scale
               S'Scale denotes the <scale> of the subtype S, defined as
               the value N such that S'Delta = 10.0**(-N). [The scale
               indicates the position of the point relative to the
               rightmost significant digits of values of subtype S.] The
               value of this attribute is of the type
               <universal_integer>.

11.a
          Ramification: S'Scale is negative if S'Delta is greater than
          one.  By contrast, S'Aft is always positive.

12
S'Round
               S'Round denotes a function with the following
               specification:

13
                    function S'Round(<X> : <universal_real>)
                      return S'Base

14
               The function returns the value obtained by rounding X
               (away from 0, if X is midway between two values of the
               type of S).

     NOTES

15
     45  All subtypes of a fixed point type will have the same value for
     the Delta attribute, in the absence of delta_constraints (see *note
     J.3::).

16
     46  S'Scale is not always the same as S'Aft for a decimal subtype;
     for example, if S'Delta = 1.0 then S'Aft is 1 while S'Scale is 0.

17
     47  The predefined operations of a fixed point type include the
     assignment operation, qualification, the membership tests, and
     explicit conversion to and from other numeric types.  They also
     include the relational operators and the following predefined
     arithmetic operators: the binary and unary adding operators - and
     +, multiplying operators, and the unary operator abs.

18
     48  As for all types, objects of a fixed point type have Size and
     Address attributes (see *note 13.3::).  Other attributes of fixed
     point types are defined in *note A.5.4::.

3.6 Array Types
===============

1
An <array> object is a composite object consisting of components which
all have the same subtype.  The name for a component of an array uses
one or more index values belonging to specified discrete types.  The
value of an array object is a composite value consisting of the values
of the components.

                               _Syntax_

2
     array_type_definition ::=
        unconstrained_array_definition | constrained_array_definition

3
     unconstrained_array_definition ::=
        array(index_subtype_definition {, index_subtype_definition}) of 
     component_definition

4
     index_subtype_definition ::= subtype_mark range <>

5
     constrained_array_definition ::=
        array (discrete_subtype_definition {, 
     discrete_subtype_definition}) of component_definition

6
     discrete_subtype_definition ::= <discrete_>subtype_indication | 
     range

7/2
     {<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} {<AI95-00406-01AI95-00406-01>}
     component_definition ::=
        [aliased] subtype_indication
      | [aliased] access_definition

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

8
For a discrete_subtype_definition that is a range, the range shall
resolve to be of some specific discrete type[; which discrete type shall
be determined without using any context other than the bounds of the
range itself (plus the preference for <root_integer> -- see *note
8.6::).]

                           _Legality Rules_

9
Each index_subtype_definition or discrete_subtype_definition in an
array_type_definition defines an <index subtype>; its type (the <index
type>) shall be discrete.

9.a
          Discussion: An <index> is a discrete quantity used to select
          along a given dimension of an array.  A component is selected
          by specifying corresponding values for each of the indices.

10
The subtype defined by the subtype_indication of a component_definition
(the <component subtype>) shall be a definite subtype.

10.a
          Ramification: This applies to all uses of
          component_definition, including in record_type_definitions and
          protected_definitions.

11/2
<This paragraph was deleted.>{<AI95-00363-01AI95-00363-01>}

                          _Static Semantics_

12
An array is characterized by the number of indices (the <dimensionality>
of the array), the type and position of each index, the lower and upper
bounds for each index, and the subtype of the components.  The order of
the indices is significant.

13
A one-dimensional array has a distinct component for each possible index
value.  A multidimensional array has a distinct component for each
possible sequence of index values that can be formed by selecting one
value for each index position (in the given order).  The possible values
for a given index are all the values between the lower and upper bounds,
inclusive; this range of values is called the <index range>.  The
<bounds> of an array are the bounds of its index ranges.  The <length>
of a dimension of an array is the number of values of the index range of
the dimension (zero for a null range).  The <length> of a
one-dimensional array is the length of its only dimension.

14
An array_type_definition defines an array type and its first subtype.
For each object of this array type, the number of indices, the type and
position of each index, and the subtype of the components are as in the
type definition[; the values of the lower and upper bounds for each
index belong to the corresponding index subtype of its type, except for
null arrays (see *note 3.6.1::)].

15
An unconstrained_array_definition defines an array type with an
unconstrained first subtype.  Each index_subtype_definition (*note 3.6:
S0053.) defines the corresponding index subtype to be the subtype
denoted by the subtype_mark (*note 3.2.2: S0028.).  [ The compound
delimiter <> (called a <box>) of an index_subtype_definition stands for
an undefined range (different objects of the type need not have the same
bounds).]

16
A constrained_array_definition defines an array type with a constrained
first subtype.  Each discrete_subtype_definition (*note 3.6: S0055.)
defines the corresponding index subtype, as well as the corresponding
index range for the constrained first subtype.  The <constraint> of the
first subtype consists of the bounds of the index ranges.

16.a/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} Although there is no
          nameable unconstrained array subtype in this case, the
          predefined slicing and concatenation operations can operate on
          and yield values that do not necessarily belong to the first
          array subtype.  This is also true for Ada 83.

17
The discrete subtype defined by a discrete_subtype_definition (*note
3.6: S0055.) is either that defined by the subtype_indication (*note
3.2.2: S0027.), or a subtype determined by the range as follows:

18
   * If the type of the range resolves to <root_integer>, then the
     discrete_subtype_definition defines a subtype of the predefined
     type Integer with bounds given by a conversion to Integer of the
     bounds of the range; 

18.a
          Reason: This ensures that indexing over the discrete subtype
          can be performed with regular Integers, rather than only
          <universal_integer>s.

18.b
          Discussion: We considered doing this by simply creating a
          "preference" for Integer when resolving the range.  However,
          this can introduce <Beaujolais> effects when the
          simple_expressions involve calls on functions visible due to
          use clauses.

19
   * Otherwise, the discrete_subtype_definition defines a subtype of the
     type of the range, with the bounds given by the range.

20
The component_definition of an array_type_definition defines the nominal
subtype of the components.  If the reserved word aliased appears in the
component_definition, then each component of the array is aliased (see
*note 3.10::).

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

21
The elaboration of an array_type_definition creates the array type and
its first subtype, and consists of the elaboration of any
discrete_subtype_definition (*note 3.6: S0055.)s and the
component_definition (*note 3.6: S0056.).

{<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} The elaboration of a
discrete_subtype_definition that does not contain any per-object
expressions creates the discrete subtype, and consists of the
elaboration of the subtype_indication (*note 3.2.2: S0027.) or the
evaluation of the range.  The elaboration of a
discrete_subtype_definition that contains one or more per-object
expressions is defined in *note 3.8::.  The elaboration of a
component_definition (*note 3.6: S0056.) in an array_type_definition
(*note 3.6: S0051.) consists of the elaboration of the
subtype_indication (*note 3.2.2: S0027.) or access_definition.  The
elaboration of any discrete_subtype_definition (*note 3.6: S0055.)s and
the elaboration of the component_definition (*note 3.6: S0056.) are
performed in an arbitrary order.

                          _Static Semantics_

22.1/3
{<AI05-0228-1AI05-0228-1>} For an array type with a scalar component
type, the following language-defined representation aspect may be
specified with an aspect_specification (see *note 13.1.1::):

22.2/3
Default_Component_Value
               This aspect shall be specified by a static expression,
               and that expression shall be explicit, even if the aspect
               has a boolean type.  Default_Component_Value shall be
               specified only on a full_type_declaration.

22.a/3
          Reason: The part about requiring an explicit expression is to
          disallow omitting the value for this aspect, which would
          otherwise be allowed by the rules of *note 13.1.1::.

22.b/3
          This is a representation attribute in order to disallow
          specifying it on a derived type that has inherited primitive
          subprograms; that is necessary as the sizes of out parameters
          could be different whether or not a Default_Value is specified
          (see *note 6.4.1::).

22.c/3
          Aspect Description for Default_Component_Value: Default value
          for the components of an array-of-scalar subtype.

22.3/3
{<AI05-0228-1AI05-0228-1>} If a derived type with no primitive
subprograms inherits a boolean Default_Component_Value aspect, the
aspect may be specified to have any value for the derived type.

22.d/3
          Reason: This overrides the *note 13.1.1:: rule that says that
          a boolean aspect with a value True cannot be changed.

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

22.4/3
{<AI05-0228-1AI05-0228-1>} The expected type for the expression
specified for the Default_Component_Value aspect is the component type
of the array type defined by the full_type_declaration on which it
appears.

     NOTES

23
     49  All components of an array have the same subtype.  In
     particular, for an array of components that are one-dimensional
     arrays, this means that all components have the same bounds and
     hence the same length.

24
     50  Each elaboration of an array_type_definition creates a distinct
     array type.  A consequence of this is that each object whose
     object_declaration contains an array_type_definition is of its own
     unique type.

                              _Examples_

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

30.a
          The syntax rule for component_definition is modified to allow
          the reserved word aliased.

30.b
          The syntax rules for unconstrained_array_definition and
          constrained_array_definition are modified to use
          component_definition (instead of
          <component_>subtype_indication).  The effect of this change is
          to allow the reserved word aliased before the component
          subtype_indication.

30.c
          A range in a discrete_subtype_definition may use arbitrary
          universal expressions for each bound (e.g.  -1 ..  3+5),
          rather than strictly "implicitly convertible" operands.  The
          subtype defined will still be a subtype of Integer.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

30.d
          We introduce a new syntactic category,
          discrete_subtype_definition, as distinct from discrete_range.
          These two constructs have the same syntax, but their semantics
          are quite different (one defines a subtype, with a preference
          for Integer subtypes, while the other just selects a subrange
          of an existing subtype).  We use this new syntactic category
          in for loops and entry families.

30.e
          The syntax for index_constraint and discrete_range have been
          moved to their own subclause, since they are no longer used
          here.

30.f
          The syntax rule for component_definition (formerly
          component_subtype_definition) is moved here from RM83-3.7.

          Array components can have an anonymous access type.

30.h/2
          {<AI95-00363-01AI95-00363-01>} The prohibition against
          unconstrained discriminated aliased components has been

3.6.1 Index Constraints and Discrete Ranges
-------------------------------------------

1
An index_constraint determines the range of possible values for every
index of an array subtype, and thereby the corresponding array bounds.

                               _Syntax_

2
     index_constraint ::=  (discrete_range {, discrete_range})

3
     discrete_range ::= <discrete_>subtype_indication | range

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

4
The type of a discrete_range is the type of the subtype defined by the
subtype_indication, or the type of the range.  For an index_constraint,
each discrete_range shall resolve to be of the type of the corresponding
index.

4.a
          Discussion: In Ada 95, index_constraints only appear in a
          subtype_indication; they no longer appear in
          constrained_array_definitions.

                           _Legality Rules_

5
An index_constraint shall appear only in a subtype_indication whose
subtype_mark denotes either an unconstrained array subtype, or an
unconstrained access subtype whose designated subtype is an
unconstrained array subtype; in either case, the index_constraint shall
provide a discrete_range for each index of the array type.

                          _Static Semantics_

6
A discrete_range defines a range whose bounds are given by the range, or
by the range of the subtype defined by the subtype_indication.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

7
An index_constraint is <compatible> with an unconstrained array subtype
if and only if the index range defined by each discrete_range is
compatible (see *note 3.5::) with the corresponding index subtype.  If
any of the discrete_ranges defines a null range, any array thus
constrained is a <null array>, having no components.  An array value
<satisfies> an index_constraint if at each index position the array
value and the index_constraint have the same index bounds.

7.a
          Ramification: There is no need to define compatibility with a
          constrained array subtype, because one is not allowed to
          constrain it again.

8
The elaboration of an index_constraint consists of the evaluation of the
discrete_range(s), in an arbitrary order.  The evaluation of a
discrete_range consists of the elaboration of the subtype_indication or
the evaluation of the range.

     NOTES

9
     51  The elaboration of a subtype_indication consisting of a
     subtype_mark followed by an index_constraint checks the
     compatibility of the index_constraint with the subtype_mark (see
     *note 3.2.2::).

10
     52  Even if an array value does not satisfy the index constraint of
     an array subtype, Constraint_Error is not raised on conversion to
     the array subtype, so long as the length of each dimension of the
     array value and the array subtype match.  See *note 4.6::.

                              _Examples_

11
<Examples of array declarations including an index constraint: >

12
     Board     : Matrix(1 .. 8,  1 .. 8);  --<  see *note 3.6::>
     Rectangle : Matrix(1 .. 20, 1 .. 30);
     Inverse   : Matrix(1 .. N,  1 .. N);  --<  N need not be static >

13
     Filter    : Bit_Vector(0 .. 31);

14
<Example of array declaration with a constrained array subtype: >

15
     My_Schedule : Schedule;  --<  all arrays of type Schedule have the same bounds>

16
<Example of record type with a component that is an array: >

17
     type Var_Line(Length : Natural) is
        record
           Image : String(1 .. Length);
        end record;

18
     Null_Line : Var_Line(0);  --<  Null_Line.Image is a null array>

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

18.a
          We allow the declaration of a variable with a nominally
          unconstrained array subtype, so long as it has an
          initialization expression to determine its bounds.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

18.b
          We have moved the syntax for index_constraint and
          discrete_range here since they are no longer used in
          constrained_array_definitions.  We therefore also no longer
          have to describe the (special) semantics of index_constraints
          and discrete_ranges that appear in
          constrained_array_definitions.

18.c
          The rules given in RM83-3.6.1(5,7-10), which define the bounds
          of an array object, are redundant with rules given elsewhere,
          and so are not repeated here.  RM83-3.6.1(6), which requires
          that the (nominal) subtype of an array variable be
          constrained, no longer applies, so long as the variable is
          explicitly initialized.

3.6.2 Operations of Array Types
-------------------------------

                           _Legality Rules_

1
[The argument N used in the attribute_designators for the N-th dimension
of an array shall be a static expression of some integer type.]  The
value of N shall be positive (nonzero) and no greater than the
dimensionality of the array.

                          _Static Semantics_

2/1
{<8652/00068652/0006>} {<AI95-00030-01AI95-00030-01>} The following
attributes are defined for a prefix A that is of an array type [(after
any implicit dereference)], or denotes a constrained array subtype:

2.a
          Ramification: These attributes are not defined if A is a
          subtype-mark for an access-to-array subtype.  They are defined
          (by implicit dereference) for access-to-array values.

3
A'First
               A'First denotes the lower bound of the first index range;
               its type is the corresponding index type.

4
A'First(N)
               A'First(N) denotes the lower bound of the N-th index
               range; its type is the corresponding index type.

5
A'Last
               A'Last denotes the upper bound of the first index range;
               its type is the corresponding index type.

6
A'Last(N)
               A'Last(N) denotes the upper bound of the N-th index
               range; its type is the corresponding index type.

7
A'Range
               A'Range is equivalent to the range A'First ..  A'Last,
               except that the prefix A is only evaluated once.

8
A'Range(N)
               A'Range(N) is equivalent to the range A'First(N) ..
               A'Last(N), except that the prefix A is only evaluated
               once.

9
A'Length
               A'Length denotes the number of values of the first index
               range (zero for a null range); its type is
               <universal_integer>.

10
A'Length(N)
               A'Length(N) denotes the number of values of the N-th
               index range (zero for a null range); its type is
               <universal_integer>.

                        _Implementation Advice_

11/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} An implementation should normally represent
multidimensional arrays in row-major order, consistent with the notation
used for multidimensional array aggregates (see *note 4.3.3::).
However, if convention Fortran is specified for a multidimensional array
type, then column-major order should be used instead (see *note B.5::,
"*note B.5:: Interfacing with Fortran").

11.a/2
          Implementation Advice: Multidimensional arrays should be
          represented in row-major order, unless the array has
          convention Fortran.

     NOTES

12
     53  The attribute_references A'First and A'First(1) denote the same
     value.  A similar relation exists for the attribute_references
     A'Last, A'Range, and A'Length.  The following relation is satisfied
     (except for a null array) by the above attributes if the index type
     is an integer type:

13
             A'Length(N) = A'Last(N) - A'First(N) + 1

14
     54  An array type is limited if its component type is limited (see
     *note 7.5::).

15
     55  The predefined operations of an array type include the
     membership tests, qualification, and explicit conversion.  If the
     array type is not limited, they also include assignment and the
     predefined equality operators.  For a one-dimensional array type,
     they include the predefined concatenation operators (if nonlimited)
     and, if the component type is discrete, the predefined relational
     operators; if the component type is boolean, the predefined logical
     operators are also included.

16/2
     56  {<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>} A component of an array can be
     named with an indexed_component.  A value of an array type can be
     specified with an array_aggregate.  For a one-dimensional array
     type, a slice of the array can be named; also, string literals are
     defined if the component type is a character type.

                              _Examples_

3.6.3 String Types
------------------

                          _Static Semantics_

1
A one-dimensional array type whose component type is a character type is
called a <string> type.

2/2
{<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} [There are three predefined string types,
String, Wide_String, and Wide_Wide_String, each indexed by values of the
predefined subtype Positive; these are declared in the visible part of
package Standard:]

     type Wide_String is array(Positive range <>) of Wide_Character;
     type Wide_Wide_String is array(Positive range <>) of Wide_Wide_Character;
     ]

     NOTES

5
     57  String literals (see *note 2.6:: and *note 4.2::) are defined
     for all string types.  The concatenation operator & is predefined
     for string types, as for all nonlimited one-dimensional array
     types.  The ordering operators <, <=, >, and >= are predefined for
     string types, as for all one-dimensional discrete array types;
     these ordering operators correspond to lexicographic order (see
     *note 4.5.2::).

                              _Examples_

                     _Inconsistencies With Ada 83_

8.a
          The declaration of Wide_String in Standard hides a use-visible
          declaration with the same defining_identifier.  In rare cases,
          this might result in an inconsistency between Ada 83 and Ada
          95.

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 83_

8.b
          Because both String and Wide_String are always directly
          visible, an expression like

8.c
               "a" < "bc"

8.d
          is now ambiguous, whereas in Ada 83 both string literals could
          be resolved to type String.

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

8.e
          The type Wide_String is new (though it was approved by ARG for
          Ada 83 compilers as well).

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

8.f
          We define the term <string type> as a natural analogy to the
          term <character type>.

                     _Inconsistencies With Ada 95_

8.g/2
          {<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} The declaration of
          Wide_Wide_String in Standard hides a use-visible declaration
          with the same defining_identifier.  In the (very) unlikely
          event that an Ada 95 program had depended on such a
          use-visible declaration, and the program remains legal after
          the substitution of Standard.Wide_Wide_String, the meaning of
          the program will be different.

composite type (other than an array or interface type) can have
discriminants, which parameterize the type.  A known_discriminant_part
specifies the discriminants of a composite type.  A discriminant of an
object is a component of the object, and is either of a discrete type or
an access type.  An unknown_discriminant_part in the declaration of a
view of a type specifies that the discriminants of the type are unknown
for the given view; all subtypes of such a view are indefinite
subtypes.]

1.a/2
          Glossary entry: A discriminant is a parameter for a composite
          type.  It can control, for example, the bounds of a component
          of the type if the component is an array.  A discriminant for
          a task type can be used to pass data to a task of the type
          upon creation.

1.b/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} A view of a type,
          and all subtypes of the view, have <unknown discriminants>
          when the number or names of the discriminants, if any, are
          unknown at the point of the type declaration for the view.  A
          discriminant_part of (<>) is used to indicate unknown
          discriminants.

                     _Language Design Principles_

1.c/2
          {<AI95-00402-01AI95-00402-01>} When an access discriminant is
          initialized at the time of object creation with an allocator
          of an anonymous type, the allocated object and the object with
          the discriminant are tied together for their lifetime.  They
          should be allocated out of the same storage pool, and then at
          the end of the lifetime of the enclosing object, finalized and
          reclaimed together.  In this case, the allocated object is
          called a coextension (see *note 3.10.2::).

1.d/2
          Discussion: The above principle when applied to a nonlimited
          type implies that such an object may be copied only to a
          shorter-lived object, because attempting to assign it to a
          longer-lived object would fail because the access
          discriminants would not match.  In a copy, the lifetime
          connection between the enclosing object and the allocated
          object does not exist.  The allocated object is tied in the
          above sense only to the original object.  Other copies have
          only secondary references to it.

1.e/2
          Note that when an allocator appears as a constraint on an
          access discriminant in a subtype_indication that is elaborated
          independently from object creation, no such connection exists.
          For example, if a named constrained subtype is declared via
          "subtype Constr is Rec(Acc_Discrim => new T);" or if such an
          allocator appears in the subtype_indication for a component,
          the allocator is evaluated when the subtype_indication is
          elaborated, and hence its lifetime is typically longer than
          the objects or components that will later be subject to the
          constraint.  In these cases, the allocated object should not
          be reclaimed until the subtype_indication goes out of scope.

                           _Legality Rules_

8/2
{<8652/00078652/0007>} {<AI95-00098-01AI95-00098-01>}
{<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} A discriminant_part is only permitted in
a declaration for a composite type that is not an array or interface
type [(this includes generic formal types)].  A type declared with a
known_discriminant_part is called a <discriminated> type, as is a type
that inherits (known) discriminants.

8.a
          Implementation Note: Discriminants on array types were
          considered, but were omitted to ease (existing)
          implementations.

8.b
          Discussion: Note that the above definition for "discriminated
          type" does not include types declared with an
          unknown_discriminant_part.  This seems consistent with Ada 83,
          where such types (in a generic formal part) would not be
          considered discriminated types.  Furthermore, the full type
          for a type with unknown discriminants need not even be
          composite, much less have any discriminants.

8.b.1/1
          {<8652/00078652/0007>} {<AI95-00098-01AI95-00098-01>} On the
          other hand, unknown_discriminant_parts cannot be applied to
          type declarations that cannot have a known_discriminant_part.
          There is no point in having unknown discriminants on a type
          that can never have discriminants (for instance, a formal
          modular type), even when these are allowed syntactically.

9/2
{<AI95-00231-01AI95-00231-01>} {<AI95-00254-01AI95-00254-01>} The
subtype of a discriminant may be defined by an optional null_exclusion
and a subtype_mark, in which case the subtype_mark shall denote a
discrete or access subtype, or it may be defined by an
access_definition.  A discriminant that is defined by an
access_definition is called an <access discriminant> and is of an
anonymous access type.

9.a/2
          <This paragraph was deleted.>{<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>}

9.b
          Reason: Note that discriminants of a named access type are not
          considered "access discriminants."  Similarly, "access
          parameter" only refers to a formal parameter defined by an
          access_definition.

9.1/3
{<AI95-00402-01AI95-00402-01>} {<AI05-0214-1AI05-0214-1>}
Default_expressions shall be provided either for all or for none of the
discriminants of a known_discriminant_part (*note 3.7: S0061.).  No
default_expression (*note 3.7: S0063.)s are permitted in a
known_discriminant_part (*note 3.7: S0061.) in a declaration of a
nonlimited tagged type [or a generic formal type].

9.c/2
          Reason: The all-or-none rule is related to the rule that a
          discriminant constraint shall specify values for all
          discriminants.  One could imagine a different rule that
          allowed a constraint to specify only some of the
          discriminants, with the others provided by default.  Having
          defaults for discriminants has a special significance -- it
          allows objects of the type to be unconstrained, with the
          discriminants alterable as part of assigning to the object.

9.d/3
          {<AI05-0214-1AI05-0214-1>} Defaults for discriminants of
          tagged types are disallowed so that every object of a
          nonlimited tagged type is constrained, either by an explicit
          constraint, or by its initial discriminant values.  This
          substantially simplifies the semantic rules and the
          implementation of inherited dispatching operations.  We don't
          need this rule for limited tagged types, as the discriminants
          of such objects cannot be changed after the object is created
          in any case -- no full-object assignment is supported, and
          that is required to change discriminant values.  For generic
          formal types, the restriction simplifies the type matching
          rules.  If one simply wants a "default" value for the
          discriminants, a constrained subtype can be declared for
          future use.

10/3
{<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} {<AI95-00402-01AI95-00402-01>}
{<AI95-00419-01AI95-00419-01>} {<AI05-0063-1AI05-0063-1>} A
discriminant_specification for an access discriminant may have a
default_expression only in the declaration for an immutably limited type
(see *note 7.5::).  In addition to the places where Legality Rules
normally apply (see *note 12.3::), this rule applies also in the private
part of an instance of a generic unit.

10.a/3
          Discussion: This rule implies that a type can have a default
          for an access discriminant if the type is limited, but not if
          the only reason it's limited is because of a limited
          component.  Compare the definition of limited type and
          immutably limited type in *note 7.5::.

10.b/3
          Ramification: A (nonformal) limited private type can always
          have a default for an access discriminant, because having the
          default itself makes the type immutably limited.  Such a
          private type must necessarily have a full type with the same
          access discriminant with a default, and thus the full type
          will always be immutably limited (if legal).

10.c/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} We considered the
          following rules for access discriminants:

10.d
             * If a type has an access discriminant, this automatically
               makes it limited, just like having a limited component
               automatically makes a type limited.  This was rejected
               because it decreases program readability, and because it
               seemed error prone (two bugs in a previous version of the
               RM9X were attributable to this rule).

10.e/2
             * A type with an access discriminant shall be limited.
               This is equivalent to the rule we actually chose for Ada
               95, except that it allows a type to have an access
               discriminant if it is limited just because of a limited
               component.  For example, any record containing a task
               would be allowed to have an access discriminant, whereas
               the actual rule requires "limited record".  This rule was
               also rejected due to readability concerns, and because
               would interact badly with the rules for limited types
               that "become nonlimited".

10.e.1/3
             * {<AI05-0063-1AI05-0063-1>} A type may have an access
               discriminant if it is an immutably limited type.  This
               was the rule chosen for Ada 95.

10.f/2
             * Any type may have an access discriminant.  For nonlimited
               type, there is no special accessibility for access
               discriminants; they're the same as any other anonymous
               access component.  For a limited type, they have the
               special accessibility of Ada 95.  However, this doesn't
               work because a limited partial view can have a nonlimited
               full view -- giving the two views different
               accessibility.

10.f.1/3
             * {<AI05-0063-1AI05-0063-1>} Any type may have an access
               discriminant, as above.  However, special accessibility
               rules only apply to types that are immutably limited
               (task, protected, and explicitly limited records).
               However, this breaks privacy; worse, Legality Rules
               depend on the definition of accessibility.

10.f.2/3
             * {<AI05-0063-1AI05-0063-1>} Any type may have an access
               discriminant, as above.  Limited types have special
               accessibility, while nonlimited types have normal
               accessibility.  However, a limited partial view with an
               access discriminant can only be completed by an immutably
               limited type.  That prevents accessibility from changing.
               A runtime accessibility check is required on generic
               formal types with access discriminants.  However,
               changing between limited and nonlimited types would have
               far-reaching consequences for access discriminants --
               which is uncomfortable.

10.g/2
             * Any type may have an access discriminant.  All types have
               special accessibility.  This was considered early during
               the Ada 9X process, but was dropped for "unpleasant
               complexities", which unfortunately aren't recorded.  It
               does seem that an accessibility check would be needed on
               assignment of such a type, to avoid copying an object
               with a discriminant pointing to a local object into a
               more global object (and thus creating a dangling
               pointer).

10.h/2
             * Any type may have an access discriminant, but access
               discriminants cannot have defaults.  All types have
               special accessibility.  This gets rid of the problems on
               assignment (you couldn't change such a discriminant), but
               it would be horribly incompatible with Ada 95.

10.h.1/3
             * {<AI05-0063-1AI05-0063-1>} Any type may have an access
               discriminant, but access discriminants may have defaults
               only if they are of an immutably limited type.  This is
               the rule chosen for Ada 2005, as it is not incompatible,
               and it doesn't require weird accessibility checks.

12
For a type defined by a derived_type_definition, if a
known_discriminant_part is provided in its declaration, then:

13
   * The parent subtype shall be constrained;

14
   * If the parent type is not a tagged type, then each discriminant of
     the derived type shall be used in the constraint defining the
     parent subtype;

14.a
          Implementation Note: This ensures that the new discriminant
          can share storage with an existing discriminant.

15
   * If a discriminant is used in the constraint defining the parent
     subtype, the subtype of the discriminant shall be statically
     compatible (see *note 4.9.1::) with the subtype of the
     corresponding parent discriminant.

15.a
          Reason: This ensures that on conversion (or extension via an
          extension aggregate) to a distantly related type, if the
          discriminants satisfy the target type's requirements they
          satisfy all the intermediate types' requirements as well.

15.b
          Ramification: There is no requirement that the new
          discriminant have the same (or any) default_expression as the
          parent's discriminant.

          <This paragraph was deleted.>

                          _Static Semantics_

17
A discriminant_specification declares a discriminant; the subtype_mark
denotes its subtype unless it is an access discriminant, in which case
the discriminant's subtype is the anonymous access-to-variable subtype
defined by the access_definition.

18
[For a type defined by a derived_type_definition, each discriminant of
the parent type is either inherited, constrained to equal some new
discriminant of the derived type, or constrained to the value of an
expression.]  When inherited or constrained to equal some new
discriminant, the parent discriminant and the discriminant of the
derived type are said to <correspond>.  Two discriminants also
correspond if there is some common discriminant to which they both
correspond.  A discriminant corresponds to itself as well.  If a
discriminant of a parent type is constrained to a specific value by a
derived_type_definition, then that discriminant is said to be
<specified> by that derived_type_definition.

18.a
          Ramification: The correspondence relationship is transitive,
          symmetric, and reflexive.  That is, if A corresponds to B, and
          B corresponds to C, then A, B, and C each corresponds to A, B,
          and C in all combinations.

19
A constraint that appears within the definition of a discriminated type
<depends on a discriminant> of the type if it names the discriminant as
a bound or discriminant value.  A component_definition depends on a
discriminant if its constraint depends on the discriminant, or on a
discriminant that corresponds to it.

19.a
          Ramification: A constraint in a task_body is not considered to
          <depend> on a discriminant of the task type, even if it names
          it.  It is only the constraints in the type definition itself
          that are considered dependents.  Similarly for protected
          types.

20
A component <depends on a discriminant> if:

21
   * Its component_definition depends on the discriminant; or

21.a
          Ramification: A component does <not> depend on a discriminant
          just because its default_expression refers to the
          discriminant.

22
   * It is declared in a variant_part that is governed by the
     discriminant; or

23
   * It is a component inherited as part of a derived_type_definition,
     and the constraint of the <parent_>subtype_indication depends on
     the discriminant; or

23.a
          Reason: When the parent subtype depends on a discriminant, the
          parent part of the derived type is treated like a
          discriminant-dependent component.

23.b
          Ramification: Because of this rule, we don't really need to
          worry about "corresponding" discriminants, since all the
          inherited components will be discriminant-dependent if there
          is a new known_discriminant_part whose discriminants are used
          to constrain the old discriminants.

24
   * It is a subcomponent of a component that depends on the
     discriminant.

24.a
          Reason: The concept of discriminant-dependent (sub)components
          is primarily used in various rules that disallow renaming or
          'Access, or specify that certain discriminant-changing
          assignments are erroneous.  The goal is to allow
          implementations to move around or change the size of
          discriminant-dependent subcomponents upon a
          discriminant-changing assignment to an enclosing object.  The
          above definition specifies that all subcomponents of a
          discriminant-dependent component or parent part are themselves
          discriminant-dependent, even though their presence or size
          does not in fact depend on a discriminant.  This is because it
          is likely that they will move in a discriminant-changing
          assignment if they are a component of one of several
          discriminant-dependent parts of the same record.

25
Each value of a discriminated type includes a value for each component
of the type that does not depend on a discriminant[; this includes the
discriminants themselves].  The values of discriminants determine which
other component values are present in the value of the discriminated
type.

25.a
          To be honest: Which values are present might depend on
          discriminants of some ancestor type that are constrained in an
          intervening derived_type_definition.  That's why we say
          "values of discriminants" instead of "values of <the>
          discriminants" -- a subtle point.

26
A type declared with a known_discriminant_part is said to have <known
discriminants>; its first subtype is unconstrained.  A type declared
with an unknown_discriminant_part is said to have <unknown
discriminants>.  A type declared without a discriminant_part has no
discriminants, unless it is a derived type; if derived, such a type has
the same sort of discriminants (known, unknown, or none) as its parent
(or ancestor) type.  A tagged class-wide type also has unknown
discriminants.  [Any subtype of a type with unknown discriminants is an
unconstrained and indefinite subtype (see *note 3.2:: and *note 3.3::).]

26.a/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} An
          unknown_discriminant_part "(<>)" is only permitted in the
          declaration of a (generic or nongeneric) private type, private
          extension, incomplete type, or formal derived type.  Hence,
          only such types, descendants thereof, and class-wide types can
          have unknown discriminants.  An unknown_discriminant_part is
          used to indicate that the corresponding actual or full type
          might have discriminants without defaults, or be an
          unconstrained array subtype.  Tagged class-wide types are also
          considered to have unknown discriminants because discriminants
          can be added by type extensions, so the total number of
          discriminants of any given value of a tagged class-wide type
          is not known at compile time.

26.b/2
          {<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>} A subtype with unknown
          discriminants is indefinite, and hence an object of such a
          subtype needs explicit initialization.  A limited private type
          with unknown discriminants is "extremely" limited; objects of
          such a type can be initialized only by subprograms (either
          procedures with a parameter of the type, or a function
          returning the type) declared in the package.  Subprograms
          declared elsewhere can operate on and even return the type,
          but they can only initialize the object by calling
          (ultimately) a subprogram in the package declaring the type.
          Such a type is useful for keeping complete control over object
          creation within the package declaring the type.

26.c
          A partial view of a type might have unknown discriminants,
          while the full view of the same type might have known,
          unknown, or no discriminants.

{<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>} For an
access discriminant, its access_definition is elaborated when the value
of the access discriminant is defined: by evaluation of its
default_expression, by elaboration of a discriminant_constraint, or by
an assignment that initializes the enclosing object.

          access parameter that designates a view whose accessibility
          level is deeper than that of T.

     NOTES

28
     58  If a discriminated type has default_expressions for its
     discriminants, then unconstrained variables of the type are
     permitted, and the values of the discriminants can be changed by an
     assignment to such a variable.  If defaults are not provided for
     the discriminants, then all variables of the type are constrained,
     either by explicit constraint or by their initial value; the values
     of the discriminants of such a variable cannot be changed after
     initialization.

28.a
          Discussion: This connection between discriminant defaults and
          unconstrained variables can be a source of confusion.  For Ada
          95, we considered various ways to break the connection between
          defaults and unconstrainedness, but ultimately gave up for
          lack of a sufficiently simple and intuitive alternative.

28.b
          An unconstrained discriminated subtype with defaults is called
          a <mutable> subtype, and a variable of such a subtype is
          called a mutable variable, because the discriminants of such a
          variable can change.  There are no mutable arrays (that is,
          the bounds of an array object can never change), because there
          is no way in the language to define default values for the
          bounds.  Similarly, there are no mutable class-wide subtypes,
          because there is no way to define the default tag, and
          defaults for discriminants are not allowed in the tagged case.
          Mutable tags would also require a way for the maximum possible
          size of such a class-wide subtype to be known.  (In some
          implementations, all mutable variables are allocated with the
          maximum possible size.  This approach is appropriate for
          real-time applications where implicit use of the heap is
          inappropriate.)

29
     59  The default_expression for a discriminant of a type is
     evaluated when an object of an unconstrained subtype of the type is
     created.

30
     60  Assignment to a discriminant of an object (after its
     initialization) is not allowed, since the name of a discriminant is
     a constant; neither assignment_statements nor assignments inherent
     in passing as an in out or out parameter are allowed.  Note however
     that the value of a discriminant can be changed by assigning to the
     enclosing object, presuming it is an unconstrained variable.

30.a/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} An
          unknown_discriminant_part is permitted only in the declaration
          of a private type (including generic formal private), private
          extension, incomplete type, or generic formal derived type.
          These are the things that will have a corresponding completion
          or generic actual, which will either define the discriminants,
          or say there are none.  The (<>) indicates that the
          actual/full subtype might be an indefinite subtype.  An
          unknown_discriminant_part is not permitted in a normal
          untagged derived type declaration, because there is no
          separate full type declaration for such a type.  Note that
          (<>) allows unconstrained array bounds; those are somewhat
          like undefaulted discriminants.

30.b
          For a derived type, either the discriminants are inherited as
          is, or completely respecified in a new discriminant_part.  In
          this latter case, each discriminant of the parent type shall
          be constrained, either to a specific value, or to equal one of
          the new discriminants.  Constraining a parent type's
          discriminant to equal one of the new discriminants is like a
          renaming of the discriminant, except that the subtype of the
          new discriminant can be more restrictive than that of the
          parent's one.  In any case, the new discriminant can share
          storage with the parent's discriminant.

31
     61  A discriminant that is of a named access type is not called an
     access discriminant; that term is used only for discriminants
     defined by an access_definition.

          {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} Added wording to prevent

          {<AI95-00254-01AI95-00254-01>} Removed wording which implied

          Fixed the wording of the introduction to this subclause to
          reflect that both incomplete and partial views can have
          unknown discriminants.  That was always true, but for some
          reason this wording specified partial views.

37.k/2
          {<AI95-00419-01AI95-00419-01>} Changed the wording to use the

          ensure that unusual corner cases are properly handled.  Note
          that the Ada 2005 rule was unintentionally incompatible with
          the Ada 95 rule (as enforced by the ACATS); this change brings
          it back into alignment with actual practice.  So there should

3.7.1 Discriminant Constraints
------------------------------

1
A discriminant_constraint specifies the values of the discriminants for
a given discriminated type.

                     _Language Design Principles_

1.a/3
          {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} The rules in this subclause are
          intentionally parallel to those given in *note 4.3.1::, "*note
          4.3.1:: Record Aggregates".

                               _Syntax_

2
     discriminant_constraint ::=
        (discriminant_association {, discriminant_association})

3
     discriminant_association ::=
        [<discriminant_>selector_name {| <discriminant_>
     selector_name} =>] expression

4
     A discriminant_association is said to be <named> if it has one or
     more <discriminant_>selector_names; it is otherwise said to be
     <positional>.  In a discriminant_constraint, any positional
     associations shall precede any named associations.

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

5
Each selector_name of a named discriminant_association (*note 3.7.1:
S0065.) shall resolve to denote a discriminant of the subtype being
constrained; the discriminants so named are the <associated
discriminants> of the named association.  For a positional association,
the <associated discriminant> is the one whose
discriminant_specification (*note 3.7: S0062.) occurred in the
corresponding position in the known_discriminant_part (*note 3.7:
S0061.) that defined the discriminants of the subtype being constrained.

6
The expected type for the expression in a discriminant_association is
that of the associated discriminant(s).

                           _Legality Rules_

7/3
{<8652/00088652/0008>} {<AI95-00168-01AI95-00168-01>}
{<AI95-00363-01AI95-00363-01>} {<AI05-0041-1AI05-0041-1>} A
discriminant_constraint is only allowed in a subtype_indication whose
subtype_mark denotes either an unconstrained discriminated subtype, or
an unconstrained access subtype whose designated subtype is an
unconstrained discriminated subtype.  However, in the case of an access
subtype, a discriminant_constraint (*note 3.7.1: S0064.) is legal only
if any dereference of a value of the access type is known to be
constrained (see *note 3.3::).  In addition to the places where Legality
Rules normally apply (see *note 12.3::), these rules apply also in the
private part of an instance of a generic unit.

7.a.1/2
          <This paragraph was deleted.>{<8652/00088652/0008>}
          {<AI95-00168-01AI95-00168-01>} {<AI95-00363-01AI95-00363-01>}

7.a/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00363-01AI95-00363-01>} The second rule is
          necessary to prevent objects from changing so that they no
          longer match their constraint.  In Ada 95, we attempted to
          prevent this by banning every case where an aliased object
          could be unconstrained or be changed by an enclosing
          assignment.  New ways to cause this problem were being
          discovered frequently, meaning that new rules had to be
          dreamed up to cover them.  Meanwhile, aliased objects and
          components were getting more and more limited.  In Ada 2005,
          we sweep away all of that cruft and replace it by a simple
          rule "thou shalt not create an access subtype that can point
          to an item whose discriminants can be changed by assignment".

7.b/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0041-1AI05-0041-1>} The second rule will
          only use the indefinite or dereference bullets in the
          definition of "known to be constrained".  The rule is worded
          in terms of "known to be constrained" in order to capture the
          special rules that apply in generic bodies (rather than
          repeating them and getting them subtly wrong).

8
A named discriminant_association with more than one selector_name is
allowed only if the named discriminants are all of the same type.  A
discriminant_constraint shall provide exactly one value for each
discriminant of the subtype being constrained.

9/3
<This paragraph was deleted.>{<AI05-0102-1AI05-0102-1>}

9.a/3
          Ramification: In addition, *note 8.6:: requires that the
          expression associated with an access discriminant is
          convertible (see *note 4.6::) to the anonymous access type.
          This implies both convertibility of designated types, and
          static accessibility.  This implies that if an object of type
          T with an access discriminant is created by an allocator for
          an access type A, then it requires that the type of the
          expression associated with the access discriminant have an
          accessibility level that is not statically deeper than that of
          A. This is to avoid dangling references.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

10
A discriminant_constraint is <compatible> with an unconstrained
discriminated subtype if each discriminant value belongs to the subtype
of the corresponding discriminant.

10.a
          Ramification: The "dependent compatibility check" has been
          eliminated in Ada 95.  Any checking on subcomponents is
          performed when (and if) an object is created.

10.b
          Discussion: There is no need to define compatibility with a
          constrained discriminated subtype, because one is not allowed
          to constrain it again.

11
A composite value <satisfies> a discriminant constraint if and only if
each discriminant of the composite value has the value imposed by the
discriminant constraint.

12
For the elaboration of a discriminant_constraint, the expressions in the
discriminant_associations are evaluated in an arbitrary order and
converted to the type of the associated discriminant (which might raise
Constraint_Error -- see *note 4.6::); the expression of a named
association is evaluated (and converted) once for each associated
discriminant.  The result of each evaluation and conversion is the value
imposed by the constraint for the associated discriminant.

12.a
          Reason: We convert to the type, not the subtype, so that the
          definition of compatibility of discriminant constraints is not
          vacuous.

     NOTES

13
     62  The rules of the language ensure that a discriminant of an
     object always has a value, either from explicit or implicit
     initialization.

13.a
          Discussion: Although it is illegal to constrain a class-wide
          tagged subtype, it is possible to have a partially constrained
          class-wide subtype: If the subtype S is defined by T(A => B),
          then S'Class is partially constrained in the sense that
          objects of subtype S'Class have to have discriminants
          corresponding to A equal to B, but there can be other
          discriminants defined in extensions that are not constrained
          to any particular value.

                              _Examples_

14/3
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} <Examples (using types declared above in
subclause *note 3.7::):>

15
     Large   : Buffer(200);  --<  constrained, always 200 characters>
                             --<   (explicit discriminant value)>
     Message : Buffer;       --<  unconstrained, initially 100 characters>
                             --<   (default discriminant value)>
     Basis   : Square(5);    --<  constrained, always 5 by 5>
     Illegal : Square;       --<  illegal, a Square has to be constrained>

                     _Inconsistencies With Ada 83_

15.a
          Dependent compatibility checks are no longer performed on
          subtype declaration.  Instead they are deferred until object
          creation (see *note 3.3.1::).  This is upward compatible for a
          program that does not raise Constraint_Error.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

15.b
          Everything in RM83-3.7.2(7-12), which specifies the initial
          values for discriminants, is now redundant with 3.3.1, 6.4.1,
          8.5.1, and 12.4.  Therefore, we don't repeat it here.  Since
          the material is largely intuitive, but nevertheless
          complicated to state formally, it doesn't seem worth putting
          it in a "NOTE."

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 95_

15.c/2
          {<8652/00088652/0008>} {<AI95-00168-01AI95-00168-01>}
          {<AI95-00363-01AI95-00363-01>} The Corrigendum added a
          restriction on discriminant_constraints for general access
          subtypes.  Such constraints are prohibited if the designated
          type can be treated as constrained somewhere in the program.
          Ada 2005 goes further and prohibits such
          discriminant_constraints if the designated type has (or might
          have, in the case of a formal type) defaults for its
          discriminants.  The use of general access subtypes is rare,
          and this eliminates a boatload of problems that required many
          restrictions on the use of aliased objects and components (now
          lifted).  Similarly, Ada 2005 prohibits
          discriminant_constraints on any access type whose designated
          type has a partial view that is constrained.  Such a type will
          not be constrained in the heap to avoid privacy problems.
          Again, the use of such subtypes is rare (they can only happen
          within the package and its child units).

15.d/3
          {<AI05-0041-1AI05-0041-1>} Correction: Revised the rules on
          access subtypes having discriminant constraints to depend on
          the "known to be constrained" rules.  This centralizes the
          rules so that future fixes need to be made in only one place,
          as well as fixing bugs in obscure cases.

3.7.2 Operations of Discriminated Types
---------------------------------------

1
[If a discriminated type has default_expressions for its discriminants,
then unconstrained variables of the type are permitted, and the
discriminants of such a variable can be changed by assignment to the
variable.  For a formal parameter of such a type, an attribute is
provided to determine whether the corresponding actual parameter is
constrained or unconstrained.]

                          _Static Semantics_

2
For a prefix A that is of a discriminated type [(after any implicit
dereference)], the following attribute is defined:

3/3
A'Constrained
               {<AI05-0214-1AI05-0214-1>} Yields the value True if A
               denotes a constant, a value, a tagged object, or a
               constrained variable, and False otherwise.

3.a/3
          Implementation Note: {<AI05-0214-1AI05-0214-1>} This attribute
          is primarily used on parameters, to determine whether the
          discriminants can be changed as part of an assignment.  The
          Constrained attribute is statically True for in parameters.
          For in out and out parameters of a discriminated type, the
          value of this attribute needs to be passed as an implicit
          parameter, in general.  However, if the type is tagged or does
          not have defaults for its discriminants, the attribute is
          statically True, so no implicit parameter is needed.
          Parameters of a limited untagged type with defaulted
          discriminants need this implicit parameter, unless there are
          no nonlimited views, because they might be passed to a
          subprogram whose body has visibility on a nonlimited view of
          the type, and hence might be able to assign to the object and
          change its discriminants.

3.b/4
          Reason: {<AI05-0214-1AI05-0214-1>} {<AI12-0005-1AI12-0005-1>}
          All tagged objects are known to be constrained (as nonlimited
          tagged types cannot have discriminant defaults, and limited
          tagged objects are immutably limited), and are always
          considered constrained by this attribute to avoid distributed
          overhead for parameters of limited class-wide types, as
          limited tagged objects may technically be unconstrained if
          they use defaulted discriminants.  Such objects still cannot
          have their discriminants changed, as assignment is not
          supported for them, so there is no use for this attribute that
          would justify the overhead of passing it with all class-wide
          parameters.

3.c/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>}
          {<AI05-0214-1AI05-0214-1>} If the type of A is a type derived
          from an untagged partial view of a tagged type such that it is
          not a tagged type, then A is not considered a tagged object,
          and A'Constrained can return either True or False depending on
          the nature of the object.

                         _Erroneous Execution_

4
The execution of a construct is erroneous if the construct has a
constituent that is a name denoting a subcomponent that depends on
discriminants, and the value of any of these discriminants is changed by
this execution between evaluating the name and the last use (within this
execution) of the subcomponent denoted by the name.

4.a
          Ramification: This rule applies to assignment_statements,
          calls (except when the discriminant-dependent subcomponent is
          an in parameter passed by copy), indexed_components, and
          slices.  Ada 83 only covered the first two cases.  AI83-00585
          pointed out the situation with the last two cases.  The cases
          of object_renaming_declarations and generic formal in out
          objects are handled differently, by disallowing the situation
          at compile time.

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

4.b/1
          For consistency with other attributes, we are allowing the
          prefix of Constrained to be a value as well as an object of a
          discriminated type, and also an implicit dereference.  These
          extensions are not important capabilities, but there seems no
          reason to make this attribute different from other similar
          attributes.  We are curious what most Ada 83 compilers do with
          F(1).X'Constrained.

4.c
          We now handle in a general way the cases of erroneousness
          identified by AI83-00585, where the prefix of an
          indexed_component or slice is discriminant-dependent, and the
          evaluation of the index or discrete range changes the value of
          a discriminant.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

4.d
          We have moved all discussion of erroneous use of names that
          denote discriminant-dependent subcomponents to this subclause.
          In Ada 83, it used to appear separately under
          assignment_statements and subprogram calls.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

4.e/3
          {<AI05-0214-1AI05-0214-1>} A'Constrained is now defined to
          return True for any A that is a tagged object.  This doesn't
          change the result for any A allowed by previous versions of
          Ada; the change is necessary to avoid unnecessary overhead for
          limited tagged parameters.

3.8 Record Types
================

1
A record object is a composite object consisting of named components.
The value of a record object is a composite value consisting of the
values of the components.  

                               _Syntax_

2
     record_type_definition ::= [[abstract] tagged] [limited] 
     record_definition

3
     record_definition ::=
         record
            component_list
         end record
       | null record

4
     component_list ::=
           component_item {component_item}
        | {component_item} variant_part
        |  null;

5/1
     {<8652/00098652/0009>} {<AI95-00137-01AI95-00137-01>}
     component_item ::= component_declaration | aspect_clause

6/3
     {<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>} component_declaration ::=
        defining_identifier_list : component_definition [:= 
     default_expression]
             [aspect_specification];

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

7
The expected type for the default_expression, if any, in a
component_declaration is the type of the component.

                           _Legality Rules_

8/2
<This paragraph was deleted.>{<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>}

9/2
{<AI95-00366-01AI95-00366-01>} Each component_declaration declares a
component of the record type.  Besides components declared by
component_declarations, the components of a record type include any
components declared by discriminant_specifications of the record type
declaration.  [The identifiers of all components of a record type shall
be distinct.]

9.a/3
          Proof: {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} The identifiers of all
          components of a record type have to be distinct because they
          are all declared immediately within the same declarative
          region.  See Clause *note 8::.

10
Within a type_declaration, a name that denotes a component, protected
subprogram, or entry of the type is allowed only in the following cases:

11/3
   * {<AI05-0004-1AI05-0004-1>} {<AI05-0295-1AI05-0295-1>} A name that
     denotes any component, protected subprogram, or entry is allowed
     within an aspect_specification, an operational item, or a
     representation item that occurs within the declaration of the
     composite type.

12/3
   * {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} A name that denotes a noninherited
     discriminant is allowed within the declaration of the type, but not
     within the discriminant_part.  If the discriminant is used to
     define the constraint of a component, the bounds of an entry
     family, or the constraint of the parent subtype in a
     derived_type_definition, then its name shall appear alone as a
     direct_name (not as part of a larger expression or expanded name).
     A discriminant shall not be used to define the constraint of a
     scalar component.

12.a
          Reason: The penultimate restriction simplifies implementation,
          and allows the outer discriminant and the inner discriminant
          or bound to possibly share storage.

12.b
          Ramification: Other rules prevent such a discriminant from
          being an inherited one.

12.c
          Reason: The last restriction is inherited from Ada 83.  The
          restriction is not really necessary from a language design
          point of view, but we did not remove it, in order to avoid
          unnecessary changes to existing compilers.

12.d
          Discussion: Note that a discriminant can be used to define the
          constraint for a component that is of an access-to-composite
          type.

12.e/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00373-01AI95-00373-01>} The above rules, and a
          similar one in *note 6.1:: for formal parameters, are intended
          to allow initializations of components or parameters to occur
          in a (nearly) arbitrary order -- whatever order is most
          efficient (subject to the restrictions of *note 3.3.1::),
          since one default_expression cannot depend on the value of
          another one.  They also prevent circularities.

12.f/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0295-1AI05-0295-1>} Inherited
          discriminants are not allowed to be denoted, except within
          aspect_specifications and representation items.  However, the
          <discriminant_>selector_name of the parent subtype_indication
          is allowed to denote a discriminant of the parent.

13
If the name of the current instance of a type (see *note 8.6::) is used
to define the constraint of a component, then it shall appear as a
direct_name that is the prefix of an attribute_reference whose result is
of an access type, and the attribute_reference shall appear alone.

13.a
          Reason: This rule allows T'Access or T'Unchecked_Access, but
          disallows, for example, a range constraint (1..T'Size).
          Allowing things like (1..T'Size) would mean that a per-object
          constraint could affect the size of the object, which would be
          bad.

                          _Static Semantics_

13.1/3
{<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>} {<AI05-0004-1AI05-0004-1>} If a
record_type_definition includes the reserved word limited, the type is
called an <explicitly limited record> type.

14
The component_definition of a component_declaration defines the
(nominal) subtype of the component.  If the reserved word aliased
appears in the component_definition, then the component is aliased (see
*note 3.10::).

15
If the component_list of a record type is defined by the reserved word
null and there are no discriminants, then the record type has no
components and all records of the type are <null records>.  A
record_definition of null record is equivalent to record null; end
record.

15.a
          Ramification: This short-hand is available both for declaring
          a record type and a record extension -- see *note 3.9.1::.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

16
The elaboration of a record_type_definition creates the record type and
its first subtype, and consists of the elaboration of the
record_definition.  The elaboration of a record_definition consists of
the elaboration of its component_list, if any.

17
The elaboration of a component_list consists of the elaboration of the
component_items and variant_part, if any, in the order in which they
appear.  The elaboration of a component_declaration consists of the
elaboration of the component_definition.

17.a
          Discussion: If the defining_identifier_list has more than one
          defining_identifier, we presume here that the transformation
          explained in *note 3.3.1:: has already taken place.
          Alternatively, we could say that the component_definition is
          elaborated once for each defining_identifier in the list.

18/2
{<8652/00028652/0002>} {<AI95-00171-01AI95-00171-01>}
{<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} Within the definition of a composite
type, if a component_definition or discrete_subtype_definition (see
*note 9.5.2::) includes a name that denotes a discriminant of the type,
or that is an attribute_reference whose prefix denotes the current
instance of the type, the expression containing the name is called a
<per-object expression>, and the constraint or range being defined is
called a <per-object constraint>.  For the elaboration of a
component_definition of a component_declaration or the
discrete_subtype_definition (*note 3.6: S0055.) of an entry_declaration
(*note 9.5.2: S0218.) for an entry family (see *note 9.5.2::), if the
component subtype is defined by an access_definition or if the
constraint or range of the subtype_indication or
discrete_subtype_definition (*note 3.6: S0055.) is not a per-object
constraint, then the access_definition, subtype_indication, or
discrete_subtype_definition (*note 3.6: S0055.) is elaborated.  On the
other hand, if the constraint or range is a per-object constraint, then
the elaboration consists of the evaluation of any included expression
that is not part of a per-object expression.  Each such expression is
evaluated once unless it is part of a named association in a
discriminant constraint, in which case it is evaluated once for each
associated discriminant.

18.1/1
{<8652/00028652/0002>} {<AI95-00171-01AI95-00171-01>} When a per-object
constraint is elaborated [(as part of creating an object)], each
per-object expression of the constraint is evaluated.  For other
expressions, the values determined during the elaboration of the
component_definition (*note 3.6: S0056.) or entry_declaration (*note
9.5.2: S0218.) are used.  Any checks associated with the enclosing
subtype_indication or discrete_subtype_definition are performed[,
including the subtype compatibility check (see *note 3.2.2::),] and the
associated subtype is created.

18.a
          Discussion: The evaluation of other expressions that appear in
          component_definitions and discrete_subtype_definitions is
          performed when the type definition is elaborated.  The
          evaluation of expressions that appear as default_expressions
          is postponed until an object is created.  Expressions in
          representation items that appear within a composite type
          definition are evaluated according to the rules of the
          particular representation item.

     NOTES

19
     63  A component_declaration with several identifiers is equivalent
     to a sequence of single component_declarations, as explained in
     *note 3.3.1::.

20
     64  The default_expression of a record component is only evaluated
     upon the creation of a default-initialized object of the record
     type (presuming the object has the component, if it is in a
     variant_part -- see *note 3.3.1::).

21
     65  The subtype defined by a component_definition (see *note 3.6::)
     has to be a definite subtype.

22
     66  If a record type does not have a variant_part, then the same
     components are present in all values of the type.

23
     67  A record type is limited if it has the reserved word limited in
     its definition, or if any of its components are limited (see *note
     7.5::).

24
     68  The predefined operations of a record type include membership
     tests, qualification, and explicit conversion.  If the record type
     is nonlimited, they also include assignment and the predefined
     equality operators.

25/2
     69  {<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>} A component of a record can be
     named with a selected_component.  A value of a record can be
     specified with a record_aggregate.

                              _Examples_

26
<Examples of record type declarations: >

27
     type Date is
        record
           Day   : Integer range 1 .. 31;
           Month : Month_Name;
           Year  : Integer range 0 .. 4000;
        end record;

28
     type Complex is
        record
           Re : Real := 0.0;
           Im : Real := 0.0;
        end record;

30
     Tomorrow, Yesterday : Date;
     A, B, C : Complex;

31
     --< both components of A, B, and C are implicitly initialized to zero >

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

31.a
          The syntax rule for component_declaration is modified to use
          component_definition (instead of
          component_subtype_definition).  The effect of this change is
          to allow the reserved word aliased before the
          component_subtype_definition.

31.b
          A short-hand is provided for defining a null record type (and
          a null record extension), as these will be more common for
          abstract root types (and derived types without additional
          components).

31.c
          The syntax rule for record_type_definition is modified to
          allow the reserved words tagged and limited.  Tagging is new.
          Limitedness is now orthogonal to privateness.  In Ada 83 the
          syntax implied that limited private was sort of more private
          than private.  However, limitedness really has nothing to do
          with privateness; limitedness simply indicates the lack of
          assignment capabilities, and makes perfect sense for
          nonprivate types such as record types.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

          {<8652/00098652/0009>} {<AI95-00137-01AI95-00137-01>} The
          syntax rules now allow aspect_clauses to appear in a
          record_definition.  This is not a language extension, because
          Legality Rules prevent all language-defined representation
          clauses from appearing there.  However, an
          implementation-defined attribute_definition_clause could
          appear there.  The reason for this change is to allow the
          rules for aspect_clauses and representation pragmas to be as
          similar as possible.

* 3.8.1 ::    Variant Parts and Discrete Choices


File: aarm2012.info,  Node: 3.8.1,  Up: 3.8

3.8.1 Variant Parts and Discrete Choices
----------------------------------------

1
A record type with a variant_part specifies alternative lists of
components.  Each variant defines the components for the value or values
of the discriminant covered by its discrete_choice_list.

1.a
          Discussion: Discrete_choice_lists and discrete_choices are
          said to <cover> values as defined below; which
          discrete_choice_list covers a value determines which of
          various alternatives is chosen.  These are used in
          variant_parts, array_aggregates, and case_statements.

                     _Language Design Principles_

1.b
          The definition of "cover" in this subclause and the rules
          about discrete choices are designed so that they are also
          appropriate for array aggregates and case statements.

1.c
          The rules of this subclause intentionally parallel those for
          case statements.

                               _Syntax_

2
     variant_part ::=
        case <discriminant_>direct_name is
            variant
           {variant}
        end case;

3
     variant ::=
        when discrete_choice_list =>
           component_list

4
     discrete_choice_list ::= discrete_choice {| discrete_choice}

5/3
     {<AI05-0153-3AI05-0153-3>} {<AI05-0158-1AI05-0158-1>}
     discrete_choice ::= choice_expression | <discrete_>
     subtype_indication | range | others

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

6
The <discriminant_>direct_name shall resolve to denote a discriminant
(called the <discriminant of the variant_part>) specified in the
known_discriminant_part of the full_type_declaration that contains the
variant_part.  The expected type for each discrete_choice in a variant
is the type of the discriminant of the variant_part.

6.a
          Ramification: A full_type_declaration with a variant_part has
          to have a (new) known_discriminant_part; the discriminant of
          the variant_part cannot be an inherited discriminant.

                           _Legality Rules_

7
The discriminant of the variant_part shall be of a discrete type.

7.a
          Ramification: It shall not be of an access type, named or
          anonymous.

8/3
{<AI05-0153-3AI05-0153-3>} The choice_expressions, subtype_indications,
and ranges given as discrete_choices in a variant_part shall be static.
The discrete_choice others shall appear alone in a discrete_choice_list,
and such a discrete_choice_list, if it appears, shall be the last one in
the enclosing construct.

9
A discrete_choice is defined to <cover a value> in the following cases:

10/3
   * {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} A discrete_choice that is a
     choice_expression covers a value if the value equals the value of
     the choice_expression converted to the expected type.

10.1/4
   * {<AI05-0153-3AI05-0153-3>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>}
     {<AI12-0071-1AI12-0071-1>} A discrete_choice that is a
     subtype_indication covers all values (possibly none) that belong to
     the subtype and that satisfy the static predicates of the subtype
     (see *note 3.2.4::).

10.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} A dynamic predicate
          is never allowed in this case (for variants, case_statements,
          and case_expressions, a subtype with a dynamic predicate isn't
          static and thus isn't allowed in a discrete_choice, and for a
          choice in an array_aggregate, a dynamic predicate is
          explicitly disallowed -- see *note 3.2.4::).

11/3
   * {<AI05-0153-3AI05-0153-3>} A discrete_choice that is a range covers
     all values (possibly none) that belong to the range.

12
   * The discrete_choice others covers all values of its expected type
     that are not covered by previous discrete_choice_lists of the same
     construct.

12.a
          Ramification: For case_statements, this includes values
          outside the range of the static subtype (if any) to be covered
          by the choices.  It even includes values outside the base
          range of the case expression's type, since values of numeric
          types (and undefined values of any scalar type?)  can be
          outside their base range.

13
A discrete_choice_list covers a value if one of its discrete_choices
covers the value.

14
The possible values of the discriminant of a variant_part shall be
covered as follows:

15/4
   * {<AI05-0153-3AI05-0153-3>} {<AI05-0188-1AI05-0188-1>}
     {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} {<AI12-0071-1AI12-0071-1>} If the
     discriminant is of a static constrained scalar subtype then, except
     within an instance of a generic unit, each non-others
     discrete_choice (*note 3.8.1: S0074.) shall cover only values in
     that subtype that satisfy its predicates, and each value of that
     subtype that satisfies its predicates shall be covered by some
     discrete_choice (*note 3.8.1: S0074.) [(either explicitly or by
     others)];

15.a/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0188-1AI05-0188-1>} The exemption for a
          discriminated type declared in an instance allows the
          following example:

15.b/3
               generic
                  type T is new Integer;
               package G is
                  type Rec (Discrim : T) is record
                     case Discrim is
                        when -10 .. -1 =>
                           Foo : Float;
                        when others =>
                           null;
                     end case;
                  end record;
               end G;

15.c/3
               package I is new G (Natural); -- <Legal>

16/3
   * {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} If the type of the discriminant is a
     descendant of a generic formal scalar type, then the variant_part
     shall have an others discrete_choice;

16.a
          Reason: The base range is not known statically in this case.

17
   * Otherwise, each value of the base range of the type of the
     discriminant shall be covered [(either explicitly or by others)].

18
Two distinct discrete_choices of a variant_part shall not cover the same
value.

                          _Static Semantics_

19
If the component_list of a variant is specified by null, the variant has
no components.

20
The discriminant of a variant_part is said to <govern> the variant_part
and its variants.  In addition, the discriminant of a derived type
governs a variant_part and its variants if it corresponds (see *note
3.7::) to the discriminant of the variant_part.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

21
A record value contains the values of the components of a particular
variant only if the value of the discriminant governing the variant is
covered by the discrete_choice_list of the variant.  This rule applies
in turn to any further variant that is, itself, included in the
component_list of the given variant.

21.1/3
{<AI05-0290-1AI05-0290-1>} When an object of a discriminated type <T> is
initialized by default, Constraint_Error is raised if no
discrete_choice_list of any variant of a variant_part of <T> covers the
value of the discriminant that governs the variant_part.  When a
variant_part appears in the component_list of another variant <V>, this
test is only applied if the value of the discriminant governing <V> is
covered by the discrete_choice_list of <V>.

21.a/3
          Implementation Note: This is not a "check"; it cannot be
          suppressed.  However, in most cases it is not necessary to
          generate any code to raise this exception.  A test is needed
          (and can fail) in the case where the discriminant subtype has
          a Static_Predicate specified, it also has predicate checking
          disabled, and the discriminant governs a variant_part which
          lacks a when others choice.

21.b/3
          The test also could fail for a static discriminant subtype
          with range checking suppressed and the discriminant governs a
          variant_part which lacks a when others choice.  But execution
          is erroneous if a range check that would have failed is
          suppressed (see *note 11.5::), so an implementation does not
          have to generate code to check this case.  (An unchecked
          failed predicate does not cause erroneous execution, so the
          test is required in that case.)

21.c/3
          Like the checks associated with a per-object constraint, this
          test is not made during the elaboration of a
          subtype_indication.

22
The elaboration of a variant_part consists of the elaboration of the
component_list of each variant in the order in which they appear.

                              _Examples_

23
<Example of record type with a variant part: >

24
     type Device is (Printer, Disk, Drum);
     type State  is (Open, Closed);

25
     type Peripheral(Unit : Device := Disk) is
        record
           Status : State;
           case Unit is
              when Printer =>
                 Line_Count : Integer range 1 .. Page_Size;
              when others =>
                 Cylinder   : Cylinder_Index;
                 Track      : Track_Number;
              end case;
           end record;

26
<Examples of record subtypes:>

27
     subtype Drum_Unit is Peripheral(Drum);
     subtype Disk_Unit is Peripheral(Disk);

28
<Examples of constrained record variables:>

29
     Writer   : Peripheral(Unit  => Printer);
     Archive  : Disk_Unit;

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

29.a
          In Ada 83, the discriminant of a variant_part is not allowed
          to be of a generic formal type.  This restriction is removed
          in Ada 95; an others discrete_choice is required in this case.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

29.b
          The syntactic category choice is removed.  The syntax rules
          for variant, array_aggregate, and case_statement now use
          discrete_choice_list or discrete_choice instead.  The syntax
          rule for record_aggregate now defines its own syntax for named
          associations.

29.c/3
          {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} We have added the term Discrete
          Choice to the title since this is where they are talked about.
          This is analogous to the name of the subclause "Index
          Constraints and Discrete Ranges" in the subclause on Array
          Types.

29.d
          The rule requiring that the discriminant denote a discriminant
          of the type being defined seems to have been left implicit in
          RM83.

                   _Incompatibilities With Ada 2005_

29.e/3
          {<AI05-0158-1AI05-0158-1>} Membership tests are no longer
          allowed as a discrete_choice, in order that those tests can be
          expanded to allow multiple tests in a single expression
          without ambiguity.  Since a membership test has a boolean
          type, they are very unlikely to be used as a discrete_choice.

                       _Extensions to Ada 2005_

29.f/3
          {<AI05-0153-3AI05-0153-3>} Subtypes with static predicates can
          be used in discrete_choices, and the coverage rules are
          modified to respect the predicates.

29.g/3
          {<AI05-0188-1AI05-0188-1>} Variants in generic specifications
          are no longer rejected if the subtype of the actual type does
          not include all of the case choices.  This probably isn't
          useful, but it is consistent with the treatment of
          case_expressions.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

29.h/3
          {<AI05-0290-1AI05-0290-1>} Added a test that some variant
          covers the value of a discriminant that governs a
          variant_part.  This is similar to the test that some case limb
          covers the value of the <Selecting_>expression of a
          case_statement.  This test cannot change the behavior of any
          nonerroneous Ada 2005 program, so it is not an inconsistency.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2012_

29.i/4
          {<AI12-0071-1AI12-0071-1>} Corrigendum: Updated wording of the
          coverage rules to use the new term "satisfies the predicates"
          (see *note 3.2.4::).

3.9 Tagged Types and Type Extensions
====================================

1
[ Tagged types and type extensions support object-oriented programming,
based on inheritance with extension and run-time polymorphism via
<dispatching operations>.  ]

                     _Language Design Principles_

1.a/2
          {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} The intended implementation
          model is for the static portion of a tag to be represented as
          a pointer to a statically allocated and link-time initialized
          type descriptor.  The type descriptor contains the address of
          the code for each primitive operation of the type.  It
          probably also contains other information, such as might make
          membership tests convenient and efficient.  Tags for nested
          type extensions must also have a dynamic part that identifies
          the particular elaboration of the type.

1.b
          The primitive operations of a tagged type are known at its
          first freezing point; the type descriptor is laid out at that
          point.  It contains linker symbols for each primitive
          operation; the linker fills in the actual addresses.

1.b.1/2
          {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} Primitive operations of type
          extensions that are declared at a level deeper than the level
          of the ultimate ancestor from which they are derived can be
          represented by wrappers that use the dynamic part of the tag
          to call the actual primitive operation.  The dynamic part
          would generally be some way to represent the static link or
          display necessary for making a nested call.  One
          implementation strategy would be to store that information in
          the extension part of such nested type extensions, and use the
          dynamic part of the tag to point at it.  (That way, the
          "dynamic" part of the tag could be static, at the cost of
          indirect access.)

1.b.2/2
          {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} If the tagged type is descended
          from any interface types, it also will need to include
          "subtags" (one for each interface) that describe the mapping
          of the primitive operations of the interface to the primitives
          of the type.  These subtags could directly reference the
          primitive operations (for faster performance), or simply
          provide the tag "slot" numbers for the primitive operations
          (for easier derivation).  In either case, the subtags would be
          used for calls that dispatch through a class-wide type of the
          interface.

1.c
          Other implementation models are possible.

1.d
          The rules ensure that "dangling dispatching" is impossible;
          that is, when a dispatching call is made, there is always a
          body to execute.  This is different from some other
          object-oriented languages, such as Smalltalk, where it is
          possible to get a run-time error from a missing method.

1.e/2
          {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} Dispatching calls should be
          efficient, and should have a bounded worst-case execution
          time.  This is important in a language intended for real-time
          applications.  In the intended implementation model, a
          dispatching call involves calling indirect through the
          appropriate slot in the dispatch table.  No complicated
          "method lookup" is involved although a call which is
          dispatching on an interface may require a lookup of the
          appropriate interface subtag.

1.f
          The programmer should have the choice at each call site of a
          dispatching operation whether to do a dispatching call or a
          statically determined call (i.e.  whether the body executed
          should be determined at run time or at compile time).

1.g
          The same body should be executed for a call where the tag is
          statically determined to be T'Tag as for a dispatching call
          where the tag is found at run time to be T'Tag.  This allows
          one to test a given tagged type with statically determined
          calls, with some confidence that run-time dispatching will
          produce the same behavior.

1.h
          All views of a type should share the same type descriptor and
          the same tag.

1.i
          The visibility rules determine what is legal at compile time;
          they have nothing to do with what bodies can be executed at
          run time.  Thus, it is possible to dispatch to a subprogram
          whose declaration is not visible at the call site.  In fact,
          this is one of the primary facts that gives object-oriented
          programming its power.  The subprogram that ends up being
          dispatched to by a given call might even be designed long
          after the call site has been coded and compiled.

1.j
          Given that Ada has overloading, determining whether a given
          subprogram overrides another is based both on the names and
          the type profiles of the operations.

1.k/2
          {<AI95-00401-01AI95-00401-01>} When a type extension is
          declared, if there is any place within its immediate scope
          where a certain subprogram of the parent or progenitor is
          visible, then a matching subprogram should override.  If there
          is no such place, then a matching subprogram should be totally
          unrelated, and occupy a different slot in the type descriptor.
          This is important to preserve the privacy of private parts;
          when an operation declared in a private part is inherited, the
          inherited version can be overridden only in that private part,
          in the package body, and in any children of the package.

1.l
          If an implementation shares code for instances of generic
          bodies, it should be allowed to share type descriptors of
          tagged types declared in the generic body, so long as they are
          not extensions of types declared in the specification of the
          generic unit.

                          _Static Semantics_

2/2
{<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} A record type or private type that has
the reserved word tagged in its declaration is called a <tagged> type.
In addition, an interface type is a tagged type, as is a task or
protected type derived from an interface (see *note 3.9.4::).  [When
deriving from a tagged type, as for any derived type, additional
primitive subprograms may be defined, and inherited primitive
subprograms may be overridden.]  The derived type is called an
<extension> of its ancestor types, or simply a <type extension>.

2.1/2
{<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} Every type extension is also a tagged
type, and is a <record extension> or a <private extension> of some other
tagged type, or a noninterface synchronized tagged type (see *note
3.9.4::).  A record extension is defined by a derived_type_definition
with a record_extension_part (see *note 3.9.1::)[, which may include the
definition of additional components].  A private extension, which is a
partial view of a record extension or of a synchronized tagged type, can
be declared in the visible part of a package (see *note 7.3::) or in a
generic formal part (see *note 12.5.1::).

2.a
          Glossary entry: The objects of a tagged type have a run-time
          type tag, which indicates the specific type with which the
          object was originally created.  An operand of a class-wide
          tagged type can be used in a dispatching call; the tag
          indicates which subprogram body to invoke.  Nondispatching
          calls, in which the subprogram body to invoke is determined at
          compile time, are also allowed.  Tagged types may be extended
          with additional components.

2.b/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00218-03AI95-00218-03>} If a tagged type
          is declared other than in a package_specification, it is
          impossible to add new primitive subprograms for that type,
          although it can inherit primitive subprograms, and those can
          be overridden.  If the user incorrectly thinks a certain
          subprogram is primitive when it is not, and tries to call it
          with a dispatching call, an error message will be given at the
          call site.  Similarly, by using an overriding_indicator (see
          *note 6.1::), the user can declare that a subprogram is
          intended to be overriding, and get an error message when they
          made a mistake.  The use of overriding_indicators is highly
          recommended in new code that does not need to be compatible
          with Ada 95.

3
An object of a tagged type has an associated (run-time) <tag> that
identifies the specific tagged type used to create the object
originally.  [ The tag of an operand of a class-wide tagged type
<T>'Class controls which subprogram body is to be executed when a
primitive subprogram of type <T> is applied to the operand (see *note
3.9.2::); using a tag to control which body to execute is called
<dispatching>.]  

4/2
{<AI95-00344-01AI95-00344-01>} The tag of a specific tagged type
identifies the full_type_declaration of the type, and for a type
extension, is sufficient to uniquely identify the type among all
descendants of the same ancestor.  If a declaration for a tagged type
occurs within a generic_package_declaration, then the corresponding type
declarations in distinct instances of the generic package are associated
with distinct tags.  For a tagged type that is local to a generic
package body and with all of its ancestors (if any) also local to the
generic body, the language does not specify whether repeated
instantiations of the generic body result in distinct tags.

4.a/2
          <This paragraph was deleted.>{<AI95-00344-01AI95-00344-01>}

4.a.1/2
          Implementation Note: {<AI95-00344-01AI95-00344-01>} In most
          cases, a tag need only identify a particular tagged type
          declaration, and can therefore be a simple link-time-known
          address.  However, for tag checks (see *note 3.9.2::) it is
          essential that each descendant (that currently exists) of a
          given type have a unique tag.  Hence, for types declared in
          shared generic bodies where an ancestor comes from outside the
          generic, or for types declared at a deeper level than an
          ancestor, the tag needs to be augmented with some kind of
          dynamic descriptor (which may be a static link, global
          display, instance descriptor pointer, or combination).  This
          implies that type Tag may need to be two words, the second of
          which is normally null, but in these identified special cases
          needs to include a static link or equivalent.  Within an
          object of one of these types with a two-word tag, the two
          parts of the tag would typically be separated, one part as the
          first word of the object, the second placed in the first
          extension part that corresponds to a type declared more nested
          than its parent or declared in a shared generic body when the
          parent is declared outside.  Alternatively, by using an extra
          level of indirection, the type Tag could remain a single-word.

4.b/2
          {<AI95-00344-01AI95-00344-01>} For types that are not type
          extensions (even for ones declared in nested scopes), we do
          not require that repeated elaborations of the same
          full_type_declaration correspond to distinct tags.  This was
          done so that Ada 2005 implementations of tagged types could
          maintain representation compatibility with Ada 95
          implementations.  Only type extensions that were not allowed
          in Ada 95 require additional information with the tag.

4.c/2
          To be honest: {<AI95-00344-01AI95-00344-01>} The wording "is
          sufficient to uniquely identify the type among all descendants
          of the same ancestor" only applies to types that currently
          exist.  It is not necessary to distinguish between descendants
          that currently exist, and descendants of the same type that no
          longer exist.  For instance, the address of the stack frame of
          the subprogram that created the tag is sufficient to meet the
          requirements of this rule, even though it is possible, after
          the subprogram returns, that a later call of the subprogram
          could have the same stack frame and thus have an identical
          tag.

The following language-defined library package exists:

     package Ada.Tags is

         pragma Preelaborable_Initialization(Tag);

         function Wide_Expanded_Name(T : Tag) return Wide_String;

7.5/3

8
         Tag_Error : exception;

9
     private
        ... -- <not specified by the language>
     end Ada.Tags;

9.a
          Reason: Tag is a nonlimited, definite subtype, because it
          needs the equality operators, so that tag checking makes
          sense.  Also, equality, assignment, and object declaration are
          all useful capabilities for this subtype.

9.b
          For an object X and a type T, "X'Tag = T'Tag" is not needed,
          because a membership test can be used.  However, comparing the
          tags of two objects cannot be done via membership.  This is
          one reason to allow equality for type Tag.

9.1/2
{<AI95-00260-02AI95-00260-02>} No_Tag is the default initial value of
type Tag.

9.c/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00260-02AI95-00260-02>} This is similar to the
          requirement that all access values be initialized to null.

10/2
{<AI95-00400-01AI95-00400-01>} The function Wide_Wide_Expanded_Name
returns the full expanded name of the first subtype of the specific type
identified by the tag, in upper case, starting with a root library unit.
The result is implementation defined if the type is declared within an
unnamed block_statement.

10.a
          To be honest: This name, as well as each prefix of it, does
          not denote a renaming_declaration.

10.b/2
          Implementation defined: The result of
          Tags.Wide_Wide_Expanded_Name for types declared within an
          unnamed block_statement.

10.1/2
{<AI95-00400-01AI95-00400-01>} The function Expanded_Name (respectively,
Wide_Expanded_Name) returns the same sequence of graphic characters as
that defined for Wide_Wide_Expanded_Name, if all the graphic characters
are defined in Character (respectively, Wide_Character); otherwise, the
sequence of characters is implementation defined, but no shorter than
that returned by Wide_Wide_Expanded_Name for the same value of the
argument.

10.c/2
          Implementation defined: The sequence of characters of the
          value returned by Tags.Expanded_Name (respectively,
          Tags.Wide_Expanded_Name) when some of the graphic characters
          of Tags.Wide_Wide_Expanded_Name are not defined in Character
          (respectively, Wide_Character).

11
The function External_Tag returns a string to be used in an external
representation for the given tag.  The call External_Tag(S'Tag) is
equivalent to the attribute_reference S'External_Tag (see *note 13.3::).

11.a
          Reason: It might seem redundant to provide both the function
          External_Tag and the attribute External_Tag.  The function is
          needed because the attribute can't be applied to values of
          type Tag.  The attribute is needed so that it can be specified
          via an attribute_definition_clause.

11.1/2
{<AI95-00417-01AI95-00417-01>} The string returned by the functions
Expanded_Name, Wide_Expanded_Name, Wide_Wide_Expanded_Name, and
External_Tag has lower bound 1.

12/2
{<AI95-00279-01AI95-00279-01>} The function Internal_Tag returns a tag
that corresponds to the given external tag, or raises Tag_Error if the
given string is not the external tag for any specific type of the
partition.  Tag_Error is also raised if the specific type identified is
a library-level type whose tag has not yet been created (see *note
13.14::).

12.a/3
          Reason: {<AI95-00279-01AI95-00279-01>}
          {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} The check for uncreated
          library-level types prevents a reference to the type before
          execution reaches the freezing point of the type.  This is
          important so that T'Class'Input or an instance of
          Tags.Generic_Dispatching_Constructor do not try to create an
          object of a type that hasn't been frozen (which might not have
          yet elaborated its constraints).  We don't require this
          behavior for non-library-level types as the tag can be created
          multiple times and possibly multiple copies can exist at the
          same time, making the check complex.

12.1/3
{<AI95-00344-01AI95-00344-01>} {<AI05-0113-1AI05-0113-1>} The function
Descendant_Tag returns the (internal) tag for the type that corresponds
to the given external tag and is both a descendant of the type
identified by the Ancestor tag and has the same accessibility level as
the identified ancestor.  Tag_Error is raised if External is not the
external tag for such a type.  Tag_Error is also raised if the specific
type identified is a library-level type whose tag has not yet been
created, or if the given external tag identifies more than one type that
has the appropriate Ancestor and accessibility level.

12.b/2
          Reason: Descendant_Tag is used by T'Class'Input to identify
          the type identified by an external tag.  Because there can be
          multiple elaborations of a given type declaration,
          Internal_Tag does not have enough information to choose a
          unique such type.  Descendant_Tag does not return the tag for
          types declared at deeper accessibility levels than the
          ancestor because there could be ambiguity in the presence of
          recursion or multiple tasks.  Descendant_Tag can be used in
          constructing a user-defined replacement for T'Class'Input.

12.b.1/3
          {<AI05-0113-1AI05-0113-1>} Rules for specifying external tags
          will usually prevent an external tag from identifying more
          than one type.  However, an external tag can identify multiple
          types if a generic body contains a derivation of a tagged type
          declared outside of the generic, and there are multiple
          instances at the same accessibility level as the type.  (The
          Standard allows default external tags to not be unique in this
          case.)

12.2/2
{<AI95-00344-01AI95-00344-01>} The function Is_Descendant_At_Same_Level
returns True if the Descendant tag identifies a type that is both a
descendant of the type identified by Ancestor and at the same
accessibility level.  If not, it returns False.

12.c/2
          Reason: Is_Descendant_At_Same_Level (or something similar to
          it) is used by T'Class'Output to determine whether the item
          being written is at the same accessibility level as T. It may
          be used to determine prior to using T'Class'Output whether
          Tag_Error will be raised, and also can be used in constructing
          a user-defined replacement for T'Class'Output.

12.3/3
{<AI05-0115-1AI05-0115-1>} For the purposes of the dynamic semantics of
functions Descendant_Tag and Is_Descendant_At_Same_Level, a tagged type
T2 is a <descendant> of a type T1 if it is the same as T1, or if its
parent type or one of its progenitor types is a descendant of type T1 by
this rule[, even if at the point of the declaration of T2, one of the
derivations in the chain is not visible].

12.c.1/3
          Discussion: In other contexts, "descendant" is dependent on
          visibility, and the particular view a derived type has of its
          parent type.  See *note 7.3.1::.

12.4/4
{<AI95-00260-02AI95-00260-02>} {<AI12-0056-1AI12-0056-1>} The function
Parent_Tag returns the tag of the parent type of the type whose tag is
T. If the type does not have a parent type (that is, it was not defined
by a derived_type_definition), then No_Tag is returned.

12.d/4
          Ramification: {<AI12-0005-1AI12-0005-1>} The parent type is
          always the parent of the full type; a private extension
          appears to define a parent type, but it does not (only the
          various forms of derivation do that).  As this is a run-time
          operation, ignoring privacy is OK.

12.5/3
{<AI95-00405-01AI95-00405-01>} The function Interface_Ancestor_Tags
returns an array containing the tag of each interface ancestor type of
the type whose tag is T, other than T itself.  The lower bound of the
returned array is 1, and the order of the returned tags is unspecified.
Each tag appears in the result exactly once.[ If the type whose tag is T
has no interface ancestors, a null array is returned.]

12.e/2
          Ramification: The result of Interface_Ancestor_Tags includes
          the tag of the parent type, if the parent is an interface.

12.f/2
          Indirect interface ancestors are included in the result of
          Interface_Ancestor_Tags.  That's because where an interface
          appears in the derivation tree has no effect on the semantics
          of the type; the only interesting property is whether the type
          has an interface as an ancestor.

12.6/3
{<AI05-0173-1AI05-0173-1>} The function Is_Abstract returns True if the
type whose tag is T is abstract, and False otherwise.

13
For every subtype S of a tagged type <T> (specific or class-wide), the
following attributes are defined:

14
S'Class
               S'Class denotes a subtype of the class-wide type (called
               <T>'Class in this International Standard) for the class
               rooted at <T> (or if S already denotes a class-wide
               subtype, then S'Class is the same as S).

15
               S'Class is unconstrained.  However, if S is constrained,
               then the values of S'Class are only those that when
               converted to the type <T> belong to S.

15.a
          Ramification: This attribute is defined for both specific and
          class-wide subtypes.  The definition is such that
          S'Class'Class is the same as S'Class.

15.b
          Note that if S is constrained, S'Class is only partially
          constrained, since there might be additional discriminants
          added in descendants of <T> which are not constrained.

15.c/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00326-01AI95-00326-01>} The Class attribute is
          not defined for untagged subtypes (except for incomplete types
          and private types whose full view is tagged -- see *note
          J.11:: and *note 7.3.1::) so as to preclude implicit
          conversion in the absence of run-time type information.  If it
          were defined for untagged subtypes, it would correspond to the
          concept of universal types provided for the predefined numeric
          classes.

16
S'Tag
               S'Tag denotes the tag of the type <T> (or if <T> is
               class-wide, the tag of the root type of the corresponding
               class).  The value of this attribute is of type Tag.

16.a
          Reason: S'Class'Tag equals S'Tag, to avoid generic contract
          model problems when S'Class is the actual type associated with
          a generic formal derived type.

17
Given a prefix X that is of a class-wide tagged type [(after any
implicit dereference)], the following attribute is defined:

18
X'Tag
               X'Tag denotes the tag of X. The value of this attribute
               is of type Tag.

18.a
          Reason: X'Tag is not defined if X is of a specific type.  This
          is primarily to avoid confusion that might result about
          whether the Tag attribute should reflect the tag of the type
          of X, or the tag of X. No such confusion is possible if X is
          of a class-wide type.

18.1/2
{<AI95-00260-02AI95-00260-02>} {<AI95-00441-01AI95-00441-01>} The
following language-defined generic function exists:

18.2/3
     {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} 
     generic
         type T (<>) is abstract tagged limited private;
         type Parameters (<>) is limited private;
         with function Constructor (Params : not null access Parameters)
             return T is abstract;
     function Ada.Tags.Generic_Dispatching_Constructor
        (The_Tag : Tag;
         Params  : not null access Parameters) return T'Class
        with Convention => Intrinsic;
     pragma Preelaborate(Generic_Dispatching_Constructor);

18.3/2
{<AI95-00260-02AI95-00260-02>} Tags.Generic_Dispatching_Constructor
provides a mechanism to create an object of an appropriate type from
just a tag value.  The function Constructor is expected to create the
object given a reference to an object of type Parameters.

18.b/2
          Discussion: This specification is designed to make it easy to
          create dispatching constructors for streams; in particular,
          this can be used to construct overridings for T'Class'Input.

18.c/2
          Note that any tagged type will match T (see *note 12.5.1::).

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

19
The tag associated with an object of a tagged type is determined as
follows:

20
   * The tag of a stand-alone object, a component, or an aggregate of a
     specific tagged type <T> identifies <T>.

20.a
          Discussion: The tag of a formal parameter of type <T> is not
          necessarily the tag of <T>, if, for example, the actual was a
          type conversion.

21
   * The tag of an object created by an allocator for an access type
     with a specific designated tagged type <T>, identifies <T>.

21.a
          Discussion: The tag of an object designated by a value of such
          an access type might not be <T>, if, for example, the access
          value is the result of a type conversion.

22
   * The tag of an object of a class-wide tagged type is that of its
     initialization expression.

22.a
          Ramification: The tag of an object (even a class-wide one)
          cannot be changed after it is initialized, since a
          "class-wide" assignment_statement raises Constraint_Error if
          the tags don't match, and a "specific" assignment_statement
          does not affect the tag.

23
   * The tag of the result returned by a function whose result type is a
     specific tagged type <T> identifies <T>.

23.a/2
          Implementation Note: {<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>} For a
          limited tagged type, the return object is "built in place" in
          the ultimate result object with the appropriate tag.  For a
          nonlimited type, a new anonymous object with the appropriate
          tag is created as part of the function return.  See *note
          6.5::, "*note 6.5:: Return Statements".

24/2
   * {<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>} The tag of the result returned by a
     function with a class-wide result type is that of the return
     object.

25
The tag is preserved by type conversion and by parameter passing.  The
tag of a value is the tag of the associated object (see *note 6.2::).

25.1/3
{<AI95-00260-02AI95-00260-02>} {<AI95-00344-01AI95-00344-01>}
{<AI95-00405-01AI95-00405-01>} {<AI05-0092-1AI05-0092-1>}
{<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} Tag_Error is raised by a call of
Descendant_Tag, Expanded_Name, External_Tag, Interface_Ancestor_Tags,
Is_Abstract, Is_Descendant_At_Same_Level, Parent_Tag,
Wide_Expanded_Name, or Wide_Wide_Expanded_Name if any tag passed is
No_Tag.

25.2/2
{<AI95-00260-02AI95-00260-02>} An instance of
Tags.Generic_Dispatching_Constructor raises Tag_Error if The_Tag does
not represent a concrete descendant of T or if the innermost master (see
*note 7.6.1::) of this descendant is not also a master of the instance.
Otherwise, it dispatches to the primitive function denoted by the formal
Constructor for the type identified by The_Tag, passing Params, and
returns the result.  Any exception raised by the function is propagated.

25.a/2
          Ramification: The tag check checks both that The_Tag is in
          T'Class, and that it is not abstract.  These checks are
          similar to the ones required by streams for T'Class'Input (see
          *note 13.13.2::).  In addition, there is a check that the tag
          identifies a type declared on the current dynamic call chain,
          and not a more nested type or a type declared by another task.
          This check is not necessary for streams, because the stream
          attributes are declared at the same dynamic level as the type
          used.

                         _Erroneous Execution_

25.3/2
{<AI95-00260-02AI95-00260-02>} If an internal tag provided to an
instance of Tags.Generic_Dispatching_Constructor or to any subprogram
declared in package Tags identifies either a type that is not
library-level and whose tag has not been created (see *note 13.14::), or
a type that does not exist in the partition at the time of the call,
then execution is erroneous.

25.b/2
          Ramification: One reason that a type might not exist in the
          partition is that the tag refers to a type whose declaration
          was elaborated as part of an execution of a subprogram_body
          which has been left (see *note 7.6.1::).

25.c/2
          We exclude tags of library-level types from the current
          execution of the partition, because misuse of such tags should
          always be detected.  T'Tag freezes the type (and thus creates
          the tag), and Internal_Tag and Descendant_Tag cannot return
          the tag of a library-level type that has not been created.
          All ancestors of a tagged type must be frozen no later than
          the (full) declaration of a type that uses them, so Parent_Tag
          and Interface_Ancestor_Tags cannot return a tag that has not
          been created.  Finally, library-level types never cease to
          exist while the partition is executing.  Thus, if the tag
          comes from a library-level type, there cannot be erroneous
          execution (the use of Descendant_Tag rather than Internal_Tag
          can help ensure that the tag is of a library-level type).
          This is also similar to the rules for T'Class'Input (see *note
          13.13.2::).

25.d/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00344-01AI95-00344-01>} Ada 95 allowed
          Tag_Error in this case, or expected the functions to work.
          This worked because most implementations used tags constructed
          at link-time, and each elaboration of the same
          type_declaration produced the same tag.  However, Ada 2005
          requires at least part of the tags to be dynamically
          constructed for a type derived from a type at a shallower
          level.  For dynamically constructed tags, detecting the error
          can be expensive and unreliable.  To see this, consider a
          program containing two tasks.  Task A creates a nested tagged
          type, passes the tag to task B (which saves it), and then
          terminates.  The nested tag (if dynamic) probably will need to
          refer in some way to the stack frame for task A. If task B
          later tries to use the tag created by task A, the tag's
          reference to the stack frame of A probably is a dangling
          pointer.  Avoiding this would require some sort of protected
          tag manager, which would be a bottleneck in a program's
          performance.  Moreover, we'd still have a race condition; if
          task A terminated after the tag check, but before the tag was
          used, we'd still have a problem.  That means that all of these
          operations would have to be serialized.  That could be a
          significant performance drain, whether or not nested tagged
          types are ever used.  Therefore, we allow execution to become
          erroneous as we do for other dangling pointers.  If the
          implementation can detect the error, we recommend that
          Tag_Error be raised.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

26/2
{<AI95-00260-02AI95-00260-02>} {<AI95-00279-01AI95-00279-01>} The
implementation of Internal_Tag and Descendant_Tag may raise Tag_Error if
no specific type corresponding to the string External passed as a
parameter exists in the partition at the time the function is called, or
if there is no such type whose innermost master is a master of the point
of the function call.

26.a/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00260-02AI95-00260-02>}

          Locking would be required to ensure that the mapping of
          strings to tags never returned tags of types which no longer
          exist, because types can cease to exist (because they belong
          to another task, as described above) during the execution of
          these operations.  Moreover, even if these functions did use
          locking, that would not prevent the type from ceasing to exist
          at the instant that the function returned.  Thus, we do not
          require the overhead of locking; hence the word "may" in this
          rule.

                        _Implementation Advice_

26.1/3
{<AI95-00260-02AI95-00260-02>} {<AI05-0113-1AI05-0113-1>} Internal_Tag
should return the tag of a type, if one exists, whose innermost master
is a master of the point of the function call.

26.b/3
          Implementation Advice: Tags.Internal_Tag should return the tag
          of a type, if one exists, whose innermost master is a master
          of the point of the function call..

26.c/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00260-02AI95-00260-02>}
          {<AI95-00344-01AI95-00344-01>} It's not helpful if
          Internal_Tag returns the tag of some type in another task when
          one is available in the task that made the call.  We don't
          require this behavior (because it requires the same
          implementation techniques we decided not to insist on
          previously), but encourage it.

26.d/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0113-1AI05-0113-1>} There is no Advice for
          the result of Internal_Tag if no such type exists.  In most
          cases, the Implementation Permission can be used to raise
          Tag_Error, but some other tag can be returned as well.

     NOTES

27
     70  A type declared with the reserved word tagged should normally
     be declared in a package_specification, so that new primitive
     subprograms can be declared for it.

28
     71  Once an object has been created, its tag never changes.

29
     72  Class-wide types are defined to have unknown discriminants (see
     *note 3.7::).  This means that objects of a class-wide type have to
     be explicitly initialized (whether created by an object_declaration
     or an allocator), and that aggregates have to be explicitly
     qualified with a specific type when their expected type is
     class-wide.

          Tagged types are a new concept.

                     _Inconsistencies With Ada 95_

33.b/2
          {<AI95-00279-01AI95-00279-01>} Amendment Correction: Added
          wording specifying that Internal_Tag must raise Tag_Error if
          the tag of a library-level type has not yet been created.  Ada
          95 gave an Implementation Permission to do this; we require it
          to avoid erroneous execution when streaming in an object of a
          library-level type that has not yet been elaborated.  This is
          technically inconsistent; a program that used Internal_Tag
          outside of streaming and used a compiler that didn't take
          advantage of the Implementation Permission would not have
          raised Tag_Error, and may have returned a useful tag.  (If the
          tag was used in streaming, the program would have been
          erroneous.)  Since such a program would not have been portable
          to a compiler that did take advantage of the Implementation
          Permission, this is not a significant inconsistency.

33.c/2
          {<AI95-00417-01AI95-00417-01>} We now define the lower bound
          of the string returned from [[Wide_]Wide_]Expanded_Name and
          External_Name.  This makes working with the returned string
          easier, and is consistent with many other string-returning
          functions in Ada.  This is technically an inconsistency; if a
          program depended on some other lower bound for the string
          returned from one of these functions, it could fail when
          compiled with Ada 2005.  Such code is not portable even
          between Ada 95 implementations, so it should be very rare.

          Is_Descendant_At_Same_Level, Wide_Expanded_Name, and
          Wide_Wide_Expanded_Name are added to Ada.Tags.  If Ada.Tags is
          referenced in a use_clause, and an entity <E> with the same
          defining_identifier as a new entity in Ada.Tags is defined in
          a package that is also referenced in a use_clause, the entity
          <E> may no longer be use-visible, resulting in errors.  This
          should be rare and is easily fixed if it does occur.

33.g/2
          {<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>} We talk about return objects
          rather than return expressions, as functions can return using
          an extended_return_statement.

33.h/2
          {<AI95-00344-01AI95-00344-01>} Added wording to define that
          tags for all descendants of a tagged type must be distinct.
          This is needed to ensure that more nested type extensions will
          work properly.  The wording does not require implementation
          changes for types that were allowed in Ada 95.

                    _Inconsistencies With Ada 2005_

33.i/3
          {<AI05-0113-1AI05-0113-1>} Correction: Added wording
          specifying that Dependent_Tag must raise Tag_Error if there is
          more than one type which matches the requirements.  If an
          implementation had returned a random tag of the matching
          types, a program may have worked properly.  However, such a
          program would not be portable (another implementation may
          return a different tag) and the conditions that would cause
          the problem are unlikely (most likely, a tagged type extension
          declared in a generic body with multiple instances in the same
          scope).

                   _Incompatibilities With Ada 2005_

33.j/3
          {<AI05-0173-1AI05-0173-1>} Function Is_Abstract is added to
          Ada.Tags.  If Ada.Tags is referenced in a use_clause, and an
          entity <E> with the defining_identifier Is_Abstract is defined
          in a package that is also referenced in a use_clause, the
          entity <E> may no longer be use-visible, resulting in errors.
          This should be rare and is easily fixed if it does occur.

33.k/3
          {<AI05-0115-1AI05-0115-1>} Correction: We explicitly define
          the meaning of "descendant" at runtime, so that it does not
          depend on visibility as does the usual meaning.

3.9.1 Type Extensions
---------------------

1/2
{<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} [ Every type extension is a tagged type,
and is a <record extension> or a <private extension> of some other
tagged type, or a noninterface synchronized tagged type.]

                     _Language Design Principles_

1.a
          We want to make sure that we can extend a generic formal
          tagged type, without knowing its discriminants.

1.b
          We don't want to allow components in an extension aggregate to
          depend on discriminants inherited from the parent value, since
          such dependence requires staticness in aggregates, at least
          for variants.

                               _Syntax_

2
     record_extension_part ::= with record_definition

                           _Legality Rules_

3/2
{<AI95-00344-01AI95-00344-01>} {<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>}
{<AI95-00419-01AI95-00419-01>} The parent type of a record extension
shall not be a class-wide type nor shall it be a synchronized tagged
type (see *note 3.9.4::).  If the parent type or any progenitor is
nonlimited, then each of the components of the record_extension_part
shall be nonlimited.  In addition to the places where Legality Rules
normally apply (see *note 12.3::), these rules apply also in the private
part of an instance of a generic unit.

3.a
          Reason: If the parent is a limited formal type, then the
          actual might be nonlimited.

3.b/2
          {<AI95-00344-01AI95-00344-01>} Ada 95 required the record
          extensions to be the same level as the parent type.  Now we
          use accessibility checks on class-wide allocators and return
          statements to prevent objects from living longer than their
          type.

3.c/2
          {<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} Synchronized tagged types
          cannot be extended.  We have this limitation so that all of
          the data of a task or protected type is defined within the
          type.  Data defined outside of the type wouldn't be subject to
          the mutual exclusion properties of a protected type, and
          couldn't be used by a task, and thus doesn't seem to be worth
          the potential impact on implementations.

4/2
{<AI95-00344-01AI95-00344-01>} Within the body of a generic unit, or the
body of any of its descendant library units, a tagged type shall not be
declared as a descendant of a formal type declared within the formal
part of the generic unit.

4.a
          Reason: This paragraph ensures that a dispatching call will
          never attempt to execute an inaccessible subprogram body.

4.a.1/2
          {<AI95-00344-01AI95-00344-01>} The convoluted wording ("formal
          type declared within the formal part") is necessary to include
          tagged types that are formal parameters of formal packages of
          the generic unit, as well as formal tagged and tagged formal
          derived types of the generic unit.

4.b/2
          {<AI95-00344-01AI95-00344-01>} This rule is necessary in order
          to preserve the contract model.

4.c/2
          {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} {<AI95-00344-01AI95-00344-01>} If
          an ancestor is a formal of the generic unit , we have a
          problem because it might have an unknown number of subprograms
          that require overriding, as in the following example:

4.d/2
               package P is
                   type T is tagged null record;
                   function F return T; --< Inherited versions will require overriding.>
               end P;

4.e
               generic
                   type TT is tagged private;
               package Gp is
                   type NT is abstract new TT with null record;
                   procedure Q(X : in NT) is abstract;
               end Gp;

4.f/2
               package body Gp is
                   type NT2 is new NT with null record; --< Illegal!>
                   procedure Q(X : in NT2) is begin null; end Q;
                   --< Is this legal or not? Can't decide because>
                   --< we don't know whether TT had any functions that require>
                   --< overriding on extension.>
               end Gp;

4.g
               package I is new Gp(TT => P.T);

4.h/2
          I.NT is an abstract type with two abstract subprograms: F
          (inherited as abstract) and Q (explicitly declared as
          abstract).  But the generic body doesn't know about F, so we
          don't know that it needs to be overridden to make a
          nonabstract extension of NT. Hence, we have to disallow this
          case.

4.h.1/2
          Similarly, since the actual type for a formal tagged limited
          private type can be a nonlimited type, we would have a problem
          if a type extension of a limited private formal type could be
          declared in a generic body.  Such an extension could have a
          task component, for example, and an object of that type could
          be passed to a dispatching operation of a nonlimited ancestor
          type.  That operation could try to copy the object with the
          task component.  That would be bad.  So we disallow this as
          well.

4.i
          If TT were declared as abstract, then we could have the same
          problem with abstract procedures.

4.j
          We considered disallowing all tagged types in a generic body,
          for simplicity.  We decided not to go that far, in order to
          avoid unnecessary restrictions.

4.k
          We also considered trying make the accessibility level part of
          the contract; i.e.  invent some way of saying (in the
          generic_declaration) "all instances of this generic unit will
          have the same accessibility level as the generic_declaration."
          Unfortunately, that doesn't solve the part of the problem
          having to do with abstract types.

4.l/2
          <This paragraph was deleted.>

4.m/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00344AI95-00344>} This rule applies to
          types with ancestors (directly or indirectly) of formal
          interface types (see *note 12.5.5::), formal tagged private
          types (see *note 12.5.1::), and formal derived private types
          whose ancestor type is tagged (see *note 12.5.1::).

                          _Static Semantics_

4.1/2
{<AI95-00391-01AI95-00391-01>} A record extension is a <null extension>
if its declaration has no known_discriminant_part and its
record_extension_part includes no component_declarations.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

5
The elaboration of a record_extension_part consists of the elaboration
of the record_definition.

     NOTES

6
     74  The term "type extension" refers to a type as a whole.  The
     term "extension part" refers to the piece of text that defines the
     additional components (if any) the type extension has relative to
     its specified ancestor type.

6.a
          Discussion: We considered other terminology, such as "extended
          type."  However, the terms "private extended type" and "record
          extended type" did not convey the proper meaning.  Hence, we
          have chosen to uniformly use the term "extension" as the type
          resulting from extending a type, with "private extension"
          being one produced by privately extending the type, and
          "record extension" being one produced by extending the type
          with an additional record-like set of components.  Note also
          that the term "type extension" refers to the result of
          extending a type in the language Oberon as well (though there
          the term "extended type" is also used, interchangeably,
          perhaps because Oberon doesn't have the concept of a "private
          extension").

7/2
     75  {<AI95-00344-01AI95-00344-01>} When an extension is declared
     immediately within a body, primitive subprograms are inherited and
     are overridable, but new primitive subprograms cannot be added.

8
     76  A name that denotes a component (including a discriminant) of
     the parent type is not allowed within the record_extension_part.
     Similarly, a name that denotes a component defined within the
     record_extension_part is not allowed within the
     record_extension_part.  It is permissible to use a name that
     denotes a discriminant of the record extension, providing there is
     a new known_discriminant_part in the enclosing type declaration.
     (The full rule is given in *note 3.8::.)

8.a
          Reason: The restriction against depending on discriminants of
          the parent is to simplify the definition of extension
          aggregates.  The restriction against using parent components
          in other ways is methodological; it presumably simplifies
          implementation as well.

9
     77  Each visible component of a record extension has to have a
     unique name, whether the component is (visibly) inherited from the
     parent type or declared in the record_extension_part (see *note
     8.3::).

                              _Examples_

3.9.2 Dispatching Operations of Tagged Types
--------------------------------------------

1/2
{<AI95-00260-02AI95-00260-02>} {<AI95-00335-01AI95-00335-01>} The
primitive subprograms of a tagged type, the subprograms declared by
formal_abstract_subprogram_declaration (*note 12.6: S0298.)s, and the
stream attributes of a specific tagged type that are available (see
*note 13.13.2::) at the end of the declaration list where the type is
declared are called <dispatching operations>.  [A dispatching operation
can be called using a statically determined <controlling> tag, in which
case the body to be executed is determined at compile time.
Alternatively, the controlling tag can be dynamically determined, in
which case the call <dispatches> to a body that is determined at run
time;] such a call is termed a <dispatching call>.  [As explained below,
the properties of the operands and the context of a particular call on a
dispatching operation determine how the controlling tag is determined,
and hence whether or not the call is a dispatching call.  Run-time
polymorphism is achieved when a dispatching operation is called by a
dispatching call.]  

1.a.1/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00335-01AI95-00335-01>} For the stream
          attributes of a type declared immediately within a
          package_specification that has a partial view, the declaration
          list to consider is the visible part of the package.  Stream
          attributes that are not available in the same declaration list
          are not dispatching as there is no guarantee that descendants
          of the type have available attributes (there is such a
          guarantee for visibly available attributes).  If we allowed
          dispatching for any available attribute, then for attributes
          defined in the private part we could end up executing a
          nonexistent body.

                     _Language Design Principles_

1.a
          The controlling tag determination rules are analogous to the
          overload resolution rules, except they deal with run-time type
          identification (tags) rather than compile-time type
          resolution.  As with overload resolution, controlling tag
          determination may depend on operands or result context.

                          _Static Semantics_

2/3
{<AI95-00260-02AI95-00260-02>} {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>}
{<AI05-0076-1AI05-0076-1>} A <call on a dispatching operation> is a call
whose name or prefix denotes the declaration of a dispatching operation.
A <controlling operand> in a call on a dispatching operation of a tagged
type <T> is one whose corresponding formal parameter is of type <T> or
is of an anonymous access type with designated type <T>; the
corresponding formal parameter is called a <controlling formal
parameter>.  If the controlling formal parameter is an access parameter,
the controlling operand is the object designated by the actual
parameter, rather than the actual parameter itself.  If the call is to a
(primitive) function with result type <T> (a <function with a
controlling result>), then the call has a <controlling result> -- the
context of the call can control the dispatching.  Similarly, if the call
is to a function with an access result type designating <T> (a <function
with a controlling access result>), then the call has a <controlling
access result>, and the context can similarly control dispatching.

2.a
          Ramification: This definition implies that a call through the
          dereference of an access-to-subprogram value is never
          considered a call on a dispatching operation.  Note also that
          if the prefix denotes a renaming_declaration, the place where
          the renaming occurs determines whether it is primitive; the
          thing being renamed is irrelevant.

3
A name or expression of a tagged type is either <statically> tagged,
<dynamically> tagged, or <tag indeterminate>, according to whether, when
used as a controlling operand, the tag that controls dispatching is
determined statically by the operand's (specific) type, dynamically by
its tag at run time, or from context.  A qualified_expression or
parenthesized expression is statically, dynamically, or indeterminately
tagged according to its operand.  For other kinds of names and
expressions, this is determined as follows:

4/2
   * {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>} The name or expression is
     <statically tagged> if it is of a specific tagged type and, if it
     is a call with a controlling result or controlling access result,
     it has at least one statically tagged controlling operand;

4.a
          Discussion: It is illegal to have both statically tagged and
          dynamically tagged controlling operands in the same call --
          see below.

5/2
   * {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>} The name or expression is
     <dynamically tagged> if it is of a class-wide type, or it is a call
     with a controlling result or controlling access result and at least
     one dynamically tagged controlling operand;

6/2
   * {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>} The name or expression is <tag
     indeterminate> if it is a call with a controlling result or
     controlling access result, all of whose controlling operands (if
     any) are tag indeterminate.

7/1
{<8652/00108652/0010>} {<AI95-00127-01AI95-00127-01>} [A type_conversion
is statically or dynamically tagged according to whether the type
determined by the subtype_mark is specific or class-wide, respectively.]
For an object that is designated by an expression whose expected type is
an anonymous access-to-specific tagged type, the object is dynamically
tagged if the expression, ignoring enclosing parentheses, is of the form
X'Access, where X is of a class-wide type, or is of the form new
T'(...), where T denotes a class-wide subtype.  Otherwise, the object is
statically or dynamically tagged according to whether the designated
type of the type of the expression is specific or class-wide,
respectively.

7.a
          Ramification: A type_conversion is never tag indeterminate,
          even if its operand is.  A designated object is never tag
          indeterminate.

7.a.1/1
          {<8652/00108652/0010>} {<AI95-00127-01AI95-00127-01>}
          Allocators and access attributes of class-wide types can be
          used as the controlling parameters of dispatching calls.

                           _Legality Rules_

8
A call on a dispatching operation shall not have both dynamically tagged
and statically tagged controlling operands.

8.a
          Reason: This restriction is intended to minimize confusion
          between whether the dynamically tagged operands are implicitly
          converted to, or tag checked against the specific type of the
          statically tagged operand(s).

9/1
{<8652/00108652/0010>} {<AI95-00127-01AI95-00127-01>} If the expected
type for an expression or name is some specific tagged type, then the
expression or name shall not be dynamically tagged unless it is a
controlling operand in a call on a dispatching operation.  Similarly, if
the expected type for an expression is an anonymous access-to-specific
tagged type, then the object designated by the expression shall not be
dynamically tagged unless it is a controlling operand in a call on a
dispatching operation.

9.a
          Reason: This prevents implicit "truncation" of a
          dynamically-tagged value to the specific type of the target
          object/formal.  An explicit conversion is required to request
          this truncation.

9.b/4
          Ramification: {<AI95-00252-01AI95-00252-01>}
          {<AI12-0039-1AI12-0039-1>} This rule applies to all
          expressions or names with a specific expected type, not just
          those that are actual parameters to a dispatching call.  This
          rule does not apply to a membership test whose
          <tested_>simple_expression is class-wide, since any type that
          covers the tested type is explicitly allowed.  See *note
          4.5.2::.  This rule also doesn't apply to a selected_component
          whose selector_name is a subprogram, since the rules
          explicitly say that the prefix may be class-wide (see *note
          4.1.3::).

10/2
{<8652/00118652/0011>} {<AI95-00117-01AI95-00117-01>}
{<AI95-00430-01AI95-00430-01>} In the declaration of a dispatching
operation of a tagged type, everywhere a subtype of the tagged type
appears as a subtype of the profile (see *note 6.1::), it shall
statically match the first subtype of the tagged type.  If the
dispatching operation overrides an inherited subprogram, it shall be
subtype conformant with the inherited subprogram.  The convention of an
inherited dispatching operation is the convention of the corresponding
primitive operation of the parent or progenitor type.  The default
convention of a dispatching operation that overrides an inherited
primitive operation is the convention of the inherited operation; if the
operation overrides multiple inherited operations, then they shall all
have the same convention.  An explicitly declared dispatching operation
shall not be of convention Intrinsic.

10.a
          Reason: These rules ensure that constraint checks can be
          performed by the caller in a dispatching call, and parameter
          passing conventions match up properly.  A special rule on
          aggregates prevents values of a tagged type from being created
          that are outside of its first subtype.

11/2
{<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>} The default_expression for a controlling
formal parameter of a dispatching operation shall be tag indeterminate.

11.a/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>} This rule ensures that
          the default_expression always produces the "correct" tag when
          called with or without dispatching, or when inherited by a
          descendant.  If it were statically tagged, the default would
          be useless for a dispatching call; if it were dynamically
          tagged, the default would be useless for a nondispatching
          call.

11.1/2
{<AI95-00404-01AI95-00404-01>} If a dispatching operation is defined by
a subprogram_renaming_declaration or the instantiation of a generic
subprogram, any access parameter of the renamed subprogram or the
generic subprogram that corresponds to a controlling access parameter of
the dispatching operation, shall have a subtype that excludes null.

12
A given subprogram shall not be a dispatching operation of two or more
distinct tagged types.

12.a
          Reason: This restriction minimizes confusion since multiple
          dispatching is not provided.  The normal solution is to
          replace all but one of the tagged types with their class-wide
          types.

12.a.1/1
          Ramification: {<8652/00988652/0098>}
          {<AI95-00183-01AI95-00183-01>} This restriction applies even
          if the partial view (see *note 7.3::) of one or both of the
          types is untagged.  This follows from the definition of
          dispatching operation: the operation is a dispatching
          operation anywhere the full views of the (tagged) types are
          visible.

13
The explicit declaration of a primitive subprogram of a tagged type
shall occur before the type is frozen (see *note 13.14::).  [For
example, new dispatching operations cannot be added after objects or
values of the type exist, nor after deriving a record extension from it,
nor after a body.]

13.a/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00344-01AI95-00344-01>} This rule is needed
          because (1) we don't want people dispatching to things that
          haven't been declared yet, and (2) we want to allow the static
          part of tagged type descriptors to be static (allocated
          statically, and initialized to link-time-known symbols).
          Suppose T2 inherits primitive P from T1, and then overrides P.
          Suppose P is called <before> the declaration of the overriding
          P. What should it dispatch to?  If the answer is the new P,
          we've violated the first principle above.  If the answer is
          the old P, we've violated the second principle.  (A call to
          the new one necessarily raises Program_Error, but that's
          beside the point.)

13.b
          Note that a call upon a dispatching operation of type <T> will
          freeze <T>.

13.c
          We considered applying this rule to all derived types, for
          uniformity.  However, that would be upward incompatible, so we
          rejected the idea.  As in Ada 83, for an untagged type, the
          above call upon P will call the old P (which is arguably
          confusing).

13.d/2
          Implementation Note: {<AI95-00326-01AI95-00326-01>} Because of
          this rule, the type descriptor can be created (presumably
          containing linker symbols pointing at the not-yet-compiled
          bodies) at the first freezing point of the type.  It also
          prevents, for a (nonincomplete) tagged type declared in a
          package_specification, overriding in the body or by a child
          subprogram.

13.e/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} A consequence is
          that for a tagged type declaration in a declarative_part, only
          the last (overriding) primitive subprogram can be declared by
          a subprogram_body.  (Other overridings must be provided by
          subprogram_declarations.)

13.f/3
          To be honest: {<AI05-0222-1AI05-0222-1>} This rule applies
          only to "original" declarations and not to the completion of a
          primitive subprogram, even though a completion is technically
          an explicit declaration, and it may declare a primitive
          subprogram.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

14
For the execution of a call on a dispatching operation of a type <T>,
the <controlling tag value> determines which subprogram body is
executed.  The controlling tag value is defined as follows:

15
   * If one or more controlling operands are statically tagged, then the
     controlling tag value is <statically determined> to be the tag of
     <T>.

16
   * If one or more controlling operands are dynamically tagged, then
     the controlling tag value is not statically determined, but is
     rather determined by the tags of the controlling operands.  If
     there is more than one dynamically tagged controlling operand, a
     check is made that they all have the same tag.  If this check
     fails, Constraint_Error is raised unless the call is a
     function_call whose name denotes the declaration of an equality
     operator (predefined or user defined) that returns Boolean, in
     which case the result of the call is defined to indicate
     inequality, and no subprogram_body is executed.  This check is
     performed prior to evaluating any tag-indeterminate controlling
     operands.

16.a
          Reason: Tag mismatch is considered an error (except for "="
          and "/=") since the corresponding primitive subprograms in
          each specific type expect all controlling operands to be of
          the same type.  For tag mismatch with an equality operator,
          rather than raising an exception, "=" returns False and "/="
          returns True.  No equality operator is actually invoked, since
          there is no common tag value to control the dispatch.
          Equality is a special case to be consistent with the existing
          Ada 83 principle that equality comparisons, even between
          objects with different constraints, never raise
          Constraint_Error.

17/2
   * {<AI95-00196-01AI95-00196-01>} If all of the controlling operands
     (if any) are tag-indeterminate, then:

18/2
             * {<AI95-00239-01AI95-00239-01>}
               {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>} If the call has a
               controlling result or controlling access result and is
               itself, or designates, a (possibly parenthesized or
               qualified) controlling operand of an enclosing call on a
               dispatching operation of a descendant of type <T>, then
               its controlling tag value is determined by the
               controlling tag value of this enclosing call;

18.a/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00239-01AI95-00239-01>} For code that a
          user can write explicitly, the only contexts that can control
          dispatching of a function with a controlling result of type T
          are those that involve controlling operands of the same type
          T: if the two types differ there is an illegality and the
          dynamic semantics are irrelevant.

18.b/2
          In the case of an inherited subprogram however, if a default
          expression is a function call, it may be of type T while the
          parameter is of a type derived from T. To cover this case, we
          talk about "a descendant of T" above.  This is safe, because
          if the type of the parameter is descended from the type of the
          function result, it is guaranteed to inherit or override the
          function, and this ensures that there will be an appropriate
          body to dispatch to.  Note that abstract functions are not an
          issue here because the call to the function is a dispatching
          call, so it is guaranteed to always land on a concrete body.

18.1/2
             * {<AI95-00196-01AI95-00196-01>}
               {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>} If the call has a
               controlling result or controlling access result and
               (possibly parenthesized, qualified, or dereferenced) is
               the expression of an assignment_statement whose target is
               of a class-wide type, then its controlling tag value is
               determined by the target;

19
             * Otherwise, the controlling tag value is statically
               determined to be the tag of type <T>.

19.a
          Ramification: This includes the cases of a tag-indeterminate
          procedure call, and a tag-indeterminate function_call that is
          used to initialize a class-wide formal parameter or class-wide
          object.

{<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} {<AI05-0126-1AI05-0126-1>} For the
execution of a call on a dispatching operation, the action performed is
determined by the properties of the corresponding dispatching operation

   * {<AI05-0126-1AI05-0126-1>} if the corresponding operation is
     explicitly declared for this type, [even if the declaration occurs
     in a private part], then the action comprises an invocation of the
     explicit body for the operation;

20.2/3
   * {<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} {<AI05-0126-1AI05-0126-1>} if the
     corresponding operation is implicitly declared for this type and is
     implemented by an entry or protected subprogram (see *note 9.1::
     and *note 9.4::), then the action comprises a call on this entry or
     protected subprogram, with the target object being given by the
     first actual parameter of the call, and the actual parameters of
     the entry or protected subprogram being given by the remaining
     actual parameters of the call, if any;

20.3/3
   * {<AI05-0197-1AI05-0197-1>} if the corresponding operation is a

     {<AI05-0254-1AI05-0254-1>} otherwise, the action is the same as the
     action for the corresponding operation of the parent type or
     progenitor type from which the operation was inherited except that
     additional invariant checks (see *note 7.3.2::) and class-wide
     postcondition checks (see *note 6.1.1::) may apply.  If there is
     more than one such corresponding operation, the action is that for
     the operation that is not a null procedure, if any; otherwise, the
     action is that of an arbitrary one of the operations.

          operation" refers to the inheritance relationship between
          subprograms.  Primitive operations are always inherited for a
          type T, but they might not be declared if the primitive
          operation is never visible within the immediate scope of the
          type T. If no corresponding operation is declared, the last
          bullet is used and the corresponding operation of the parent
          type is executed (an explicit body that happens to have the
          same name and profile is not called in that case).

20.a.2/3
          {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} {<AI05-0126-1AI05-0126-1>} We have
          to talk about progenitors in the last bullet in case the
          corresponding operation is a null procedure inherited from an
          interface.  In that case, the parent type might not even have
          the operation in question.

20.a.3/3
          {<AI05-0197-1AI05-0197-1>} For the last bullet, if there are
          multiple corresponding operations for the parent and
          progenitors, all but one of them have to be a null procedure.
          (If the progenitors declared abstract routines, there would
          have to be an explicit overriding of the operation, and then
          the first bullet would apply.)  We call the nonnull routine if
          one exists.

20.a.4/3
          {<AI05-0126-1AI05-0126-1>} Any explicit declaration for an
          inherited corresponding operation has to be an overriding
          routine.  These rules mean that a dispatching call executes
          the overriding routine (if any) for the specific type.

20.b/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} The wording of the above
          rules is intended to ensure that the same body is executed for
          a given tag, whether that tag is determined statically or
          dynamically.  For a type declared in a package, it doesn't
          matter whether a given subprogram is overridden in the visible
          part or the private part, and it doesn't matter whether the
          call is inside or outside the package.  For example:

20.c
               package P1 is
                   type T1 is tagged null record;
                   procedure Op_A(Arg : in T1);
                   procedure Op_B(Arg : in T1);
               end P1;

20.d
               with P1; use P1;
               package P2 is
                   type T2 is new T1 with null record;
                   procedure Op_A(Param : in T2);
               private
                   procedure Op_B(Param : in T2);
               end P2;

20.e/1
               with P1; with P2;
               procedure Main is
                   X : P2.T2;
                   Y : P1.T1'Class := X;
               begin
                   P2.Op_A(Param => X); --< Nondispatching call to a dispatching operation.>
                   P1.Op_A(Arg => Y); --< Dispatching call.>
                   P2.Op_B(Arg => X); --< Nondispatching call to a dispatching operation.>
                   P1.Op_B(Arg => Y); --< Dispatching call.>
               end Main;

20.f
          The two calls to Op_A both execute the body of Op_A that has
          to occur in the body of package P2.  Similarly, the two calls
          to Op_B both execute the body of Op_B that has to occur in the
          body of package P2, even though Op_B is overridden in the
          private part of P2.  Note, however, that the formal parameter
          names are different for P2.Op_A versus P2.Op_B. The overriding
          declaration for P2.Op_B is not visible in Main, so the name in
          the call actually denotes the implicit declaration of Op_B
          inherited from T1.

20.g
          If a call occurs in the program text before an overriding,
          which can happen only if the call is part of a default
          expression, the overriding will still take effect for that
          call.

20.h
          Implementation Note: Even when a tag is not <statically
          determined>, a compiler might still be able to figure it out
          and thereby avoid the overhead of run-time dispatching.

     NOTES

21
     78  The body to be executed for a call on a dispatching operation
     is determined by the tag; it does not matter whether that tag is
     determined statically or dynamically, and it does not matter
     whether the subprogram's declaration is visible at the place of the
     call.

22/2
     79  {<AI95-00260-02AI95-00260-02>} This subclause covers calls on
     dispatching subprograms of a tagged type.  Rules for tagged type
     membership tests are described in *note 4.5.2::.  Controlling tag
     determination for an assignment_statement is described in *note
     5.2::.

23
     80  A dispatching call can dispatch to a body whose declaration is
     not visible at the place of the call.

24
     81  A call through an access-to-subprogram value is never a
     dispatching call, even if the access value designates a dispatching
     operation.  Similarly a call whose prefix denotes a
     subprogram_renaming_declaration cannot be a dispatching call unless
     the renaming itself is the declaration of a primitive subprogram.

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

24.a
          The concept of dispatching operations is new.

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 95_

24.b/2
          {<AI95-00404-01AI95-00404-01>} If a dispatching operation is
          defined by a subprogram_renaming_declaration, and it has a
          controlling access parameter, Ada 2005 requires the subtype of
          the parameter to exclude null.  The same applies to
          instantiations.  This is required so that all calls to the
          subprogram operate the same way (controlling access parameters
          have to exclude null so that dispatching calls will work).
          Since Ada 95 didn't have the notion of access subtypes that
          exclude null, and all access parameters excluded null, it had
          no such rules.  These rules will require the addition of an
          explicit not null on nondispatching operations that are later
          renamed to be dispatching, or on a generic that is used to
          define a dispatching operation.

                        _Extensions to Ada 95_

24.c/2
          {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>} Functions that have an access
          result type can be dispatching in the same way as a function
          that returns a tagged object directly.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

24.d/3
          {<8652/00108652/0010>} {<AI95-00127-01AI95-00127-01>}
          {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} Corrigendum: Allocators and access
          attributes of objects of class-wide types can be used as the
          controlling parameter in a dispatching calls.  This was an
          oversight in the definition of Ada 95.  (See *note 3.10.2::
          and *note 4.8::).

24.e/2
          {<8652/00118652/0011>} {<AI95-00117-01AI95-00117-01>}
          {<AI95-00430-01AI95-00430-01>} Corrigendum: Corrected the
          conventions of dispatching operations.  This is extended in
          Ada 2005 to cover operations inherited from progenitors, and
          to ensure that the conventions of all inherited operations are
          the same.

24.f/2
          {<AI95-00196-01AI95-00196-01>} Clarified the wording to ensure
          that functions with no controlling operands are
          tag-indeterminate, and to describe that the controlling tag
          can come from the target of an assignment_statement.

24.g/2
          {<AI95-00239-01AI95-00239-01>} Fixed the wording to cover
          default expressions inherited by derived subprograms.  A
          literal reading of the old wording would have implied that
          operations would be called with objects of the wrong type.

24.h/2
          {<AI95-00260-02AI95-00260-02>} An abstract formal subprogram
          is a dispatching operation, even though it is not a primitive
          operation.  See *note 12.6::, "*note 12.6:: Formal
          Subprograms".

24.i/2
          {<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} Dispatching calls include
          operations implemented by entries and protected operations, so
          we have to update the wording to reflect that.

24.j/2
          {<AI95-00335-01AI95-00335-01>} A stream attribute of a tagged
          type is usually a dispatching operation, even though it is not
          a primitive operation.  If they weren't dispatching,
          T'Class'Input and T'Class'Output wouldn't work.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

24.k/3
          {<AI05-0076-1AI05-0076-1>} Correction: Defined "function with
          a controlling result", as it is used in *note 3.9.3::.

24.l/3
          {<AI05-0126-1AI05-0126-1>} {<AI05-0197-1AI05-0197-1>}
          Correction: Corrected holes in the definition of dynamic
          dispatching: the behavior for operations that are never
          declared and/or inherited from a progenitor were not
          specified.

3.9.3 Abstract Types and Subprograms
------------------------------------

1/2
{<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} [ An <abstract type> is a tagged type
intended for use as an ancestor of other types, but which is not allowed
to have objects of its own.  An <abstract subprogram> is a subprogram
that has no body, but is intended to be overridden at some point when
inherited.  Because objects of an abstract type cannot be created, a
dispatching call to an abstract subprogram always dispatches to some
overriding body.]

1.a.1/2
          Glossary entry: An abstract type is a tagged type intended for
          use as an ancestor of other types, but which is not allowed to
          have objects of its own.

                     _Language Design Principles_

1.a/3
          {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} An abstract subprogram has no body,
          so the rules in this subclause are designed to ensure (at
          compile time) that the body will never be invoked.  We do so
          primarily by disallowing the creation of values of the
          abstract type.  Therefore, since type conversion and parameter
          passing don't change the tag, we know we will never get a
          class-wide value with a tag identifying an abstract type.
          This means that we only have to disallow nondispatching calls
          on abstract subprograms (dispatching calls will never reach
          them).

                               _Syntax_

1.1/3
     {<AI95-00218-03AI95-00218-03>} {<AI95-00348-01AI95-00348-01>}
     {<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>} abstract_subprogram_declaration ::=
         [overriding_indicator]
         subprogram_specification is abstract
             [aspect_specification];

                          _Static Semantics_

1.2/2
{<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} Interface types (see *note 3.9.4::) are
abstract types.  In addition, a tagged type that has the reserved word
abstract in its declaration is an abstract type.  The class-wide type
(see *note 3.4.1::) rooted at an abstract type is not itself an abstract
type.

                           _Legality Rules_

2/2
{<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} Only a tagged type shall have the
reserved word abstract in its declaration.

2.a
          Ramification: Untagged types are never abstract, even though
          they can have primitive abstract subprograms.  Such
          subprograms cannot be called, unless they also happen to be
          dispatching operations of some tagged type, and then only via
          a dispatching call.

2.b
          Class-wide types are never abstract.  If T is abstract, then
          it is illegal to declare a stand-alone object of type T, but
          it is OK to declare a stand-alone object of type T'Class; the
          latter will get a tag from its initial value, and this tag
          will necessarily be different from T'Tag.

3/2
{<AI95-00260-02AI95-00260-02>} {<AI95-00348-01AI95-00348-01>} A
subprogram declared by an abstract_subprogram_declaration (*note 3.9.3:
S0076.) or a formal_abstract_subprogram_declaration (*note 12.6: S0298.)
(see *note 12.6::) is an <abstract subprogram>.  If it is a primitive
subprogram of a tagged type, then the tagged type shall be abstract.

3.a
          Ramification: Note that for a private type, this applies to
          both views.  The following is illegal:

3.b
               package P is
                   type T is abstract tagged private;
                   function Foo (X : T) return Boolean is abstract; --< Illegal!>
               private
                   type T is tagged null record; --< Illegal!>
                   X : T;
                   Y : Boolean := Foo (T'Class (X));
               end P;

3.c
          The full view of T is not abstract, but has an abstract
          operation Foo, which is illegal.  The two lines marked "--<
          Illegal!>" are illegal when taken together.

3.d/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00310-01AI95-00310-01>} We considered
          disallowing untagged types from having abstract primitive
          subprograms.  However, we rejected that plan, because it
          introduced some silly anomalies, and because such subprograms
          are harmless.  For example:

3.e/1
               package P is
                  type Field_Size is range 0..100;
                  type T is abstract tagged null record;
                  procedure Print(X : in T; F : in Field_Size := 0) is abstract;
                 . . .
               package Q is
                  type My_Field_Size is new Field_Size;
                  --< implicit declaration of Print(X : T; F : My_Field_Size := 0) is abstract;>
               end Q;

3.f
          It seemed silly to make the derivative of My_Field_Size
          illegal, just because there was an implicitly declared
          abstract subprogram that was not primitive on some tagged
          type.  Other rules could be formulated to solve this problem,
          but the current ones seem like the simplest.

3.g/2
          {<AI95-00310-01AI95-00310-01>} In Ada 2005, abstract primitive
          subprograms of an untagged type may be used to "undefine" an
          operation.

3.h/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00260-02AI95-00260-02>} Note that the
          second sentence does not apply to abstract formal subprograms,
          as they are never primitive operations of a type.

4/3
{<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} {<AI95-00334-01AI95-00334-01>}
{<AI95-00391-01AI95-00391-01>} {<AI05-0097-1AI05-0097-1>}
{<AI05-0198-1AI05-0198-1>} If a type has an implicitly declared
primitive subprogram that is inherited or is a predefined operator, and
the corresponding primitive subprogram of the parent or ancestor type is
abstract or is a function with a controlling access result, or if a type
other than a nonabstract null extension inherits a function with a
controlling result, then:

4.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0068-1AI05-0068-1>} These rules apply to
          each view of the type individually.  That is necessary to
          preserve privacy.  For instance, in the following example:

4.b/3
               package P is
                  type I is interface;
                  procedure Op (X : I) is abstract;
               end P;

4.c/3
               with P;
               package Q is
                  type T is abstract new P.I with private;
                  -- <Op inherited here.>
               private
                  type T is abstract new P.I with null record;
                  procedure Op (X : T) is null;
               end Q;

4.d/3
               with Q;
               package R is
                  type T2 is new Q.T with null record;
                  -- <Illegal. Op inherited here, but requires overriding.>
               end R;

4.e/3
          If this did not depend on the view, this would be legal.  But
          in that case, the fact that Op is overridden in the private
          part would be visible; package R would have to be illegal if
          no overriding was in the private part.

4.f/3
          Note that this means that whether an inherited subprogram is
          abstract or concrete depends on where it inherited.  In the
          case of Q, Q.Op in the visible part is abstract, while Q.Op in
          the private part is concrete.  That is, R is illegal since it
          is an unrelated unit (and thus it cannot see the private
          part), but if R had been a private child of Q, it would have
          been legal.

5/2
   * {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} {<AI95-00334-01AI95-00334-01>} If
     the type is abstract or untagged, the implicitly declared
     subprogram is <abstract>.

5.a
          Ramification: Note that it is possible to override a concrete
          subprogram with an abstract one.

   * {<AI95-00391-01AI95-00391-01>} {<AI12-0080-1AI12-0080-1>}
     Otherwise, the subprogram shall be overridden with a nonabstract
     subprogram or, in the case of a private extension inheriting a
     nonabstract function with a controlling result, have a full type
     that is a null extension[; for a type declared in the visible part
     of a package, the overriding may be either in the visible or the
     private part].  Such a subprogram is said to <require overriding>.
     However, if the type is a generic formal type, the subprogram need
     not be overridden for the formal type itself; [a nonabstract
     version will necessarily be provided by the actual type.]

6.a/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00228-01AI95-00228-01>}
          {<AI95-00391-01AI95-00391-01>} A function that returns the
          parent type requires overriding for a type extension (or
          becomes abstract for an abstract type) because conversion from
          a parent type to a type extension is not defined, and function
          return semantics is defined in terms of conversion (other than
          for a null extension; see below).  (Note that parameters of
          mode in out or out do not have this problem, because the tag
          of the actual is not changed.)

6.b
          Note that the overriding required above can be in the private
          part, which allows the following:

6.c
               package Pack1 is
                   type Ancestor is abstract ...;
                   procedure Do_Something(X : in Ancestor) is abstract;
               end Pack1;

                   procedure Do_Something(X : in T1); --< Have to override.>
               end Pack2;

               end Pack3;
    

6.f/2
          {<AI95-00228-01AI95-00228-01>} T2 inherits an abstract
          Do_Something, but T2 is not abstract, so Do_Something has to
          be overridden.  However, it is OK to override it in the
          private part.  In this case, we override it by inheriting a
          concrete version from a different type.  Nondispatching calls
          to Pack3.Do_Something are allowed both inside and outside
          package Pack3, as the client "knows" that the subprogram was
          necessarily overridden somewhere.

6.g/2
          {<AI95-00391-01AI95-00391-01>} For a null extension, the
          result of a function with a controlling result is defined in
          terms of an extension_aggregate with a null record extension
          part (see *note 3.4::).  This means that these restrictions on
          functions with a controlling result do not have to apply to
          null extensions.

6.h/2
          {<AI95-00391-01AI95-00391-01>} However, functions with
          controlling access results still require overriding.  Changing
          the tag in place might clobber a preexisting object, and
          allocating new memory would possibly change the pool of the
          object, leading to storage leaks.  Moreover, copying the
          object isn't possible for limited types.  We don't need to
          restrict functions that have an access return type of an
          untagged type, as derived types with primitive subprograms
          have to have the same representation as their parent type.

7
A call on an abstract subprogram shall be a dispatching call;
[nondispatching calls to an abstract subprogram are not allowed.]

7.a/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00310-01AI95-00310-01>} If an abstract
          subprogram is not a dispatching operation of some tagged type,
          then it cannot be called at all.  In Ada 2005, such
          subprograms are not even considered by name resolution (see
          *note 6.4::).

8/3
{<AI05-0073-1AI05-0073-1>} {<AI05-0203-1AI05-0203-1>} The type of an
aggregate, or of an object created by an object_declaration or an
allocator, or a generic formal object of mode in, shall not be abstract.
The type of the target of an assignment operation (see *note 5.2::)
shall not be abstract.  The type of a component shall not be abstract.
If the result type of a function is abstract, then the function shall be
abstract.  If a function has an access result type designating an
abstract type, then the function shall be abstract.  The type denoted by
a return_subtype_indication (see *note 6.5::) shall not be abstract.  A
generic function shall not have an abstract result type or an access
result type designating an abstract type.

8.a
          Reason: This ensures that values of an abstract type cannot be
          created, which ensures that a dispatching call to an abstract
          subprogram will not try to execute the nonexistent body.

8.b
          Generic formal objects of mode in are like constants;
          therefore they should be forbidden for abstract types.
          Generic formal objects of mode in out are like renamings;
          therefore, abstract types are OK for them, though probably not
          terribly useful.

8.c/3
          {<AI05-0073-1AI05-0073-1>} Generic functions returning a
          formal abstract type are illegal because any instance would
          have to be instantiated with a nonabstract type in order to
          avoid violating the function rule (generic functions cannot be
          declared abstract).  But that would be an implied contract; it
          would be better for the contract to be explicit by the formal
          type not being declared abstract.  Moreover, the implied
          contract does not add any capability.

9
If a partial view is not abstract, the corresponding full view shall not
be abstract.  If a generic formal type is abstract, then for each
primitive subprogram of the formal that is not abstract, the
corresponding primitive subprogram of the actual shall not be abstract.

9.a
          Discussion: By contrast, we allow the actual type to be
          nonabstract even if the formal type is declared abstract.
          Hence, the most general formal tagged type possible is "type
          T(<>) is abstract tagged limited private;".

9.b
          For an abstract private extension declared in the visible part
          of a package, it is only possible for the full type to be
          nonabstract if the private extension has no abstract
          dispatching operations.

9.c/2
          To be honest: {<AI95-00294-01AI95-00294-01>} In the sentence
          about primitive subprograms above, there is some ambiguity as
          to what is meant by "corresponding" in the case where an
          inherited operation is overridden.  This is best explained by
          an example, where the implicit declarations are shown as
          comments:

9.d/2
               package P1 is
                  type T1 is abstract tagged null record;
                  procedure P (X : T1); -- <(1)>
               end P1;

9.e/2
               package P2 is
                  type T2 is abstract new P1.T1 with null record;
                  -- <procedure P (X : T2); -- (2)>
                  procedure P (X : T2) is abstract; -- (3)
               end P2;

9.f/2
               generic
                  type D is abstract new P1.T1 with private;
                  -- <procedure P (X : D); -- (4)>
               procedure G (X : D);

9.g/2
               procedure I is new G (P2.T2); -- <Illegal.>

9.h/2
          Type T2 inherits a nonabstract procedure P (2) from the
          primitive procedure P (1) of T1.  P (2) is overridden by the
          explicitly declared abstract procedure P (3).  Type D inherits
          a nonabstract procedure P (4) from P (1).  In instantiation I,
          the operation corresponding to P (4) is the one which is not
          overridden, that is, P (3): the overridden operation P (2)
          does not "reemerge".  Therefore, the instantiation is illegal.

10/3
{<AI05-0073-1AI05-0073-1>} For an abstract type declared in a visible
part, an abstract primitive subprogram shall not be declared in the
private part, unless it is overriding an abstract subprogram implicitly
declared in the visible part.  For a tagged type declared in a visible
part, a primitive function with a controlling result or a controlling
access result shall not be declared in the private part, unless it is
overriding a function implicitly declared in the visible part.

10.a
          Reason: The "visible part" could be that of a package or a
          generic package.  This rule is needed because a nonabstract
          type extension declared outside the package would not know
          about any abstract primitive subprograms or primitive
          functions with controlling results declared in the private
          part, and wouldn't know that they need to be overridden with
          nonabstract subprograms.  The rule applies to a tagged record
          type or record extension declared in a visible part, just as
          to a tagged private type or private extension.  The rule
          applies to explicitly and implicitly declared abstract
          subprograms:

10.b
               package Pack is
                   type T is abstract new T1 with private;
               private
                   type T is abstract new T2 with record ... end record;
                   ...
               end Pack;

10.c
          The above example would be illegal if T1 has a nonabstract
          primitive procedure P, but T2 overrides P with an abstract
          one; the private part should override P with a nonabstract
          version.  On the other hand, if the P were abstract for both
          T1 and T2, the example would be legal as is.

11/2
{<AI95-00260-02AI95-00260-02>} A generic actual subprogram shall not be
an abstract subprogram unless the generic formal subprogram is declared
by a formal_abstract_subprogram_declaration.  The prefix of an
attribute_reference for the Access, Unchecked_Access, or Address
attributes shall not denote an abstract subprogram.

11.a
          Ramification: An abstract_subprogram_declaration is not
          syntactically a subprogram_declaration.  Nonetheless, an
          abstract subprogram is a subprogram, and an
          abstract_subprogram_declaration is a declaration of a
          subprogram.

11.b/2
          {<AI95-00260-02AI95-00260-02>} The part about generic actual
          subprograms includes those given by default.  Of course, an
          abstract formal subprogram's actual subprogram can be
          abstract.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

11.1/2
{<AI95-00348-01AI95-00348-01>} The elaboration of an
abstract_subprogram_declaration has no effect.

     NOTES

12
     82  Abstractness is not inherited; to declare an abstract type, the
     reserved word abstract has to be used in the declaration of the
     type extension.

12.a
          Ramification: A derived type can be abstract even if its
          parent is not.  Similarly, an inherited concrete subprogram
          can be overridden with an abstract subprogram.

13
     83  A class-wide type is never abstract.  Even if a class is rooted
     at an abstract type, the class-wide type for the class is not
     abstract, and an object of the class-wide type can be created; the
     tag of such an object will identify some nonabstract type in the
     class.

                              _Examples_

14
<Example of an abstract type representing a set of natural numbers:>

15
     package Sets is
         subtype Element_Type is Natural;
         type Set is abstract tagged null record;
         function Empty return Set is abstract;
         function Union(Left, Right : Set) return Set is abstract;
         function Intersection(Left, Right : Set) return Set is abstract;
         function Unit_Set(Element : Element_Type) return Set is abstract;
         procedure Take(Element : out Element_Type;
                        From : in out Set) is abstract;
     end Sets;

     NOTES

16
     84  <Notes on the example:> Given the above abstract type, one
     could then derive various (nonabstract) extensions of the type,
     representing alternative implementations of a set.  One might use a
     bit vector, but impose an upper bound on the largest element
     representable, while another might use a hash table, trading off
     space for flexibility.

16.a
          Discussion: One way to export a type from a package with some
          components visible and some components private is as follows:

16.b
               package P is
                   type Public_Part is abstract tagged
                       record
                           ...
                       end record;
                   type T is new Public_Part with private;
                   ...
               private
                   type T is new Public_Part with
                       record
                           ...
                       end record;
               end P;

16.c
          The fact that Public_Part is abstract tells clients they have
          to create objects of type T instead of Public_Part.  Note that
          the public part has to come first; it would be illegal to
          declare a private type Private_Part, and then a record
          extension T of it, unless T were in the private part after the
          full declaration of Private_Part, but then clients of the
          package would not have visibility to T.

                        _Extensions to Ada 95_

16.d/2
          {<AI95-00391-01AI95-00391-01>} It is not necessary to override
          functions with a controlling result for a null extension.
          This makes it easier to derive a tagged type to complete a
          private type.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

16.e/2
          {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} {<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>}
          Updated the wording to reflect the addition of interface types
          (see *note 3.9.4::).

16.f/2
          {<AI95-00260-02AI95-00260-02>} Updated the wording to reflect
          the addition of abstract formal subprograms (see *note
          12.6::).

16.g/2
          {<AI95-00334-01AI95-00334-01>} The wording of
          shall-be-overridden was clarified so that it clearly applies
          to abstract predefined equality.

16.h/2
          {<AI95-00348-01AI95-00348-01>} Moved the syntax and
          elaboration rule for abstract_subprogram_declaration here, so
          the syntax and most of the semantics are together (which is
          consistent with null procedures).

16.i/2
          {<AI95-00391-01AI95-00391-01>} We define the term <require
          overriding> to make other wording easier to understand.

                   _Incompatibilities With Ada 2005_

16.j/3
          {<AI05-0073-1AI05-0073-1>} Correction: Added rules to
          eliminate holes with controlling access results and generic
          functions that return abstract types.  While these changes are
          technically incompatible, it is unlikely that they could be
          used in a program without violating some other rule of the use
          of abstract types.

16.k/3
          {<AI05-0097-1AI05-0097-1>} Correction: Corrected a minor
          glitch having to do with abstract null extensions.  The Ada
          2005 rule allowed such extensions to inherit concrete
          operations in some rare cases.  It is unlikely that these
          cases exist in user code.

                       _Extensions to Ada 2005_

16.l/3
          {<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>} An optional aspect_specification
          can be used in an abstract_subprogram_declaration.  This is
          described in *note 13.1.1::.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

16.m/3
          {<AI05-0198-1AI05-0198-1>} Correction: Clarified that the
          predefined operator corresponding to an inherited abstract
          operator is also abstract.  The Ada 2005 rules caused the
          predefined operator and the inherited operator to override
          each other, which is weird.  But the effect is the same either
          way (the operator is not considered for resolution).

16.n/3
          {<AI05-0203-1AI05-0203-1>} Correction: Added wording to
          disallow abstract return objects.  These were illegal in Ada
          2005 by other rules; the extension to support class-wide type
          better opened a hole which has now been plugged.

{<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} {<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} [An
interface type is an abstract tagged type that provides a restricted
form of multiple inheritance.  A tagged type, task type, or protected
type may have one or more interface types as ancestors.]

1.a/2
          Glossary entry: An interface type is a form of abstract tagged
          type which has no components or concrete operations except
          possibly null procedures.  Interface types are used for
          composing other interfaces and tagged types and thereby
          provide multiple inheritance.  Only an interface type can be
          used as a progenitor of another type.

          {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} {<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>}
          The rules are designed so that an interface can be used as
          either a parent type or a progenitor type without changing the
          meaning.  That's important so that the order that interfaces
          are specified in a derived_type_definition is not significant.
          In particular, we want:

1.c/2
               type Con1 is new Int1 and Int2 with null record;
               type Con2 is new Int2 and Int1 with null record;

                          _Static Semantics_

4/2
{<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} An interface type (also called an
<interface>) is a specific abstract tagged type that is defined by an
interface_type_definition.

5/2
{<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} An interface with the reserved word
limited, task, protected, or synchronized in its definition is termed,
respectively, a <limited interface>, a <task interface>, a <protected
interface>, or a <synchronized interface>.  In addition, all task and
protected interfaces are synchronized interfaces, and all synchronized
interfaces are limited interfaces.

5.a/2
          Glossary entry: A synchronized entity is one that will work
          safely with multiple tasks at one time.  A synchronized
          interface can be an ancestor of a task or a protected type.
          Such a task or protected type is called a synchronized tagged
          type.

6/2
{<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} {<AI95-00443-01AI95-00443-01>} [A task or
protected type derived from an interface is a tagged type.]  Such a
tagged type is called a <synchronized> tagged type, as are synchronized
interfaces and private extensions whose declaration includes the
reserved word synchronized.

6.a/2
          Proof: The full definition of tagged types given in *note
          3.9:: includes task and protected types derived from
          interfaces.

6.b/2
          Ramification: The class-wide type associated with a tagged
          task type (including a task interface type) is a task type,
          because "task" is one of the language-defined classes of types
          (see *note 3.2::).  However, the class-wide type associated
          with an interface is <not> an interface type, as "interface"
          is <not> one of the language-defined classes (as it is not
          closed under derivation).  In this sense, "interface" is
          similar to "abstract".  The class-wide type associated with an
          interface is a concrete (nonabstract) indefinite tagged
          composite type.

          extensions, as explained in *note 12.5.1::.

7/2
{<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} A task interface is an [abstract] task
type.  A protected interface is an [abstract] protected type.

7.a/2
          Proof: The "abstract" follows from the definition of an
          interface type.

7.b/2
          Reason: This ensures that task operations (like abort and the
          Terminated attribute) can be applied to a task interface type
          and the associated class-wide type.  While there are no
          protected type operations, we apply the same rule to protected
          interfaces for consistency.

8/2
{<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} [An interface type has no components.]

8.a/2
          Proof: This follows from the syntax and the fact that
          discriminants are not allowed for interface types.

9/2
{<AI95-00419-01AI95-00419-01>} An <interface_>subtype_mark in an
interface_list names a <progenitor subtype>; its type is the <progenitor
type>.  An interface type inherits user-defined primitive subprograms
from each progenitor type in the same way that a derived type inherits
user-defined primitive subprograms from its progenitor types (see *note
3.4::).

9.a.1/2
          Glossary entry: A progenitor of a derived type is one of the
          types given in the definition of the derived type other than
          the first.  A progenitor is always an interface type.
          Interfaces, tasks, and protected types may also have
          progenitors.

                           _Legality Rules_

10/2
{<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} All user-defined primitive subprograms of
an interface type shall be abstract subprograms or null procedures.

11/2
{<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} The type of a subtype named in an
interface_list shall be an interface type.

12/2
{<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} {<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} A type
derived from a nonlimited interface shall be nonlimited.

13/2
{<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} An interface derived from a task
interface shall include the reserved word task in its definition; any
other type derived from a task interface shall be a private extension or
a task type declared by a task declaration (see *note 9.1::).

14/2
{<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} An interface derived from a protected
interface shall include the reserved word protected in its definition;
any other type derived from a protected interface shall be a private
extension or a protected type declared by a protected declaration (see
*note 9.4::).

15/2
{<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} An interface derived from a synchronized
interface shall include one of the reserved words task, protected, or
synchronized in its definition; any other type derived from a
synchronized interface shall be a private extension, a task type
declared by a task declaration, or a protected type declared by a
protected declaration.

15.a/2
          Reason: We require that an interface descendant of a task,
          protected, or synchronized interface repeat the explicit kind
          of interface it will be, rather than simply inheriting it, so
          that a reader is always aware of whether the interface
          provides synchronization and whether it may be implemented
          only by a task or protected type.  The only place where
          inheritance of the kind of interface might be useful would be
          in a generic if you didn't know the kind of the actual
          interface.  However, the value of that is low because you
          cannot implement an interface properly if you don't know
          whether it is a task, protected, or synchronized interface.
          Hence, we require the kind of the actual interface to match
          the kind of the formal interface (see *note 12.5.5::).

16/2
{<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} No type shall be derived from both a task
interface and a protected interface.

16.a
          Reason: This prevents a single private extension from
          inheriting from both a task and a protected interface.  For a
          private type, there can be no legal completion.  For a generic
          formal derived type, there can be no possible matching type
          (so no instantiation could be legal).  This rule provides
          early detection of the errors.

17/2
{<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} In addition to the places where Legality
Rules normally apply (see *note 12.3::), these rules apply also in the
private part of an instance of a generic unit.

17.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} This paragraph is
          intended to apply to all of the Legality Rules in this
          subclause.  We cannot allow interface types which do not obey
          these rules, anywhere.  Luckily, deriving from a formal type
          (which might be an interface) is not allowed for any tagged
          types in a generic body.  So checking in the private part of a
          generic covers all of the cases.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

18/3
{<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} {<AI05-0070-1AI05-0070-1>} The
elaboration of an interface_type_definition creates the interface type
and its first subtype.

18.a/3
          Discussion: There is no other effect.  An interface_list is
          made up of subtype_marks, which do not need to be elaborated,
          so the interface_list does not either.  This is consistent
          with the handling of discriminant_parts.

     NOTES

19/2
     85  {<AI95-00411-01AI95-00411-01>} Nonlimited interface types have
     predefined nonabstract equality operators.  These may be overridden
     with user-defined abstract equality operators.  Such operators will
     then require an explicit overriding for any nonabstract descendant
     of the interface.

           Remove_First(From, Person);
           Append(To, Person);
        end loop;
     end Transfer;

26/2
This defines a Queue interface defining a queue of people.  (A similar
design could be created to define any kind of queue simply by replacing
Person_Name by an appropriate type.)  The Queue interface has four
dispatching operations, Append, Remove_First, Cur_Count, and Max_Count.
The body of a class-wide operation, Transfer is also shown.  Every
nonabstract extension of Queue must provide implementations for at least
its four dispatching operations, as they are abstract.  Any object of a
type derived from Queue may be passed to Transfer as either the From or
the To operand.  The two operands need not be of the same type in any
given call.

27/2
The Synchronized_Queue interface inherits the four dispatching
operations from Queue and adds two additional dispatching operations,
which wait if necessary rather than raising the Queue_Error exception.
This synchronized interface may only be implemented by a task or
protected type, and as such ensures safe concurrent access.

     Append (Cashier, George);
     -- <After payment, move George to the sandwich counter queue:>
     Transfer (Cashier, Counter);
     ...

33/2
An interface such as Queue can be used directly as the parent of a new
type (as shown here), or can be used as a progenitor when a type is
derived.  In either case, the primitive operations of the interface are
inherited.  For Queue, the implementation of the four inherited routines
must be provided.  Inside the call of Transfer, calls will dispatch to
the implementations of Append and Remove_First for type Fast_Food_Queue.

3.10 Access Types
=================

1
A value of an access type (an <access value>) provides indirect access
to the object or subprogram it <designates>.  Depending on its type, an
access value can designate either subprograms, objects created by
allocators (see *note 4.8::), or more generally <aliased> objects of an
appropriate type.  

1.a
          Discussion: A name <denotes> an entity; an access value
          <designates> an entity.  The "dereference" of an access value
          X, written "X.all", is a name that denotes the entity
          designated by X.

                     _Language Design Principles_

1.b/3
          {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} Access values should always be well
          defined (barring uses of certain unchecked features of Clause
          *note 13::).  In particular, uninitialized access variables
          should be prevented by compile-time rules.

                          _Static Semantics_

7/1
{<8652/00128652/0012>} {<AI95-00062-01AI95-00062-01>} There are two
kinds of access types, <access-to-object> types, whose values designate
objects, and <access-to-subprogram> types, whose values designate
subprograms.  Associated with an access-to-object type is a <storage
pool>; several access types may share the same storage pool.  All
descendants of an access type share the same storage pool.  A storage
pool is an area of storage used to hold dynamically allocated objects
(called <pool elements>) created by allocators[; storage pools are
described further in *note 13.11::, "*note 13.11:: Storage Management"].

8
Access-to-object types are further subdivided into <pool-specific>
access types, whose values can designate only the elements of their
associated storage pool, and <general> access types, whose values can
designate the elements of any storage pool, as well as aliased objects
created by declarations rather than allocators, and aliased
subcomponents of other objects.

8.a
          Implementation Note: The value of an access type will
          typically be a machine address.  However, a value of a
          pool-specific access type can be represented as an offset (or
          index) relative to its storage pool, since it can point only
          to the elements of that pool.

{<AI05-0277-1AI05-0277-1>} A view of an object is defined to be
<aliased> if it is defined by an object_declaration (*note 3.3.1:
S0032.), component_definition (*note 3.6: S0056.),
parameter_specification (*note 6.1: S0175.), or
extended_return_object_declaration with the reserved word aliased, or by
a renaming of an aliased view.  In addition, the dereference of an
access-to-object value denotes an aliased view, as does a view
conversion (see *note 4.6::) of an aliased view.  The current instance
of an immutably limited type (see *note 7.5::) is defined to be aliased.
Finally, a formal parameter or generic formal object of a tagged type is
defined to be aliased.  [Aliased views are the ones that can be
designated by an access value.]

9.a
          Glossary entry: An aliased view of an object is one that can
          be designated by an access value.  Objects allocated by
          allocators are aliased.  Objects can also be explicitly
          declared as aliased with the reserved word aliased.  The
          Access attribute can be used to create an access value
          designating an aliased object.

9.b
          Ramification: The current instance of a nonlimited type is not
          aliased.

9.c
          The object created by an allocator is aliased, but not its
          subcomponents, except of course for those that themselves have
          aliased in their component_definition.

9.d
          The renaming of an aliased object is aliased.

9.e
          Slices are never aliased.  See *note 4.1.2:: for more
          discussion.

9.f/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00225-01AI95-00225-01>} The current instance of
          a limited type is defined to be aliased so that an access
          discriminant of a component can be initialized with T'Access
          inside the definition of T. Note that we don't want this to
          apply to a type that could become nonlimited later within its
          immediate scope, so we require the full definition to be
          limited.

9.g
          A formal parameter of a tagged type is defined to be aliased
          so that a (tagged) parameter X may be passed to an access
          parameter P by using P => X'Access.  Access parameters are
          most important for tagged types because of
          dispatching-on-access-parameters (see *note 3.9.2::).  By
          restricting this to formal parameters, we minimize problems
          associated with allowing components that are not declared
          aliased to be pointed-to from within the same record.

9.h
          A view conversion of an aliased view is aliased so that the
          type of an access parameter can be changed without first
          converting to a named access type.  For example:

9.i
               type T1 is tagged ...;
               procedure P(X : access T1);

9.j
               type T2 is new T1 with ...;
               procedure P(X : access T2) is
               begin
                   P(T1(X.all)'Access);  --< hand off to T1's P>
                   . . .     --< now do extra T2-specific processing>
               end P;

9.k/2
          <This paragraph was deleted.>{<AI95-00363-01AI95-00363-01>}

9.l/2
          We considered making more kinds of objects aliased by default.
          In particular, any object of a by-reference type will pretty
          much have to be allocated at an addressable location, so it
          can be passed by reference without using bit-field pointers.
          Therefore, one might wish to allow the Access and
          Unchecked_Access attributes for such objects.  However,
          private parts are transparent to the definition of
          "by-reference type", so if we made all objects of a
          by-reference type aliased, we would be violating the privacy
          of private parts.  Instead, we would have to define a concept
          of "visibly by-reference" and base the rule on that.  This
          seemed to complicate the rules more than it was worth,
          especially since there is no way to declare an untagged
          limited private type to be by-reference, since the full type
          might by nonlimited.

9.m
          Discussion: Note that we do not use the term "aliased" to
          refer to formal parameters that are referenced through
          multiple access paths (see *note 6.2::).

10
An access_to_object_definition defines an access-to-object type and its
first subtype; the subtype_indication (*note 3.2.2: S0027.) defines the
<designated subtype> of the access type.  If a general_access_modifier
(*note 3.10: S0081.) appears, then the access type is a general access
type.  If the modifier is the reserved word constant, then the type is
an <access-to-constant type>[; a designated object cannot be updated
through a value of such a type].  If the modifier is the reserved word
all, then the type is an <access-to-variable type>[; a designated object
can be both read and updated through a value of such a type].  If no
general_access_modifier (*note 3.10: S0081.) appears in the
access_to_object_definition (*note 3.10: S0080.), the access type is a
pool-specific access-to-variable type.

10.a
          To be honest: The type of the designated subtype is called the
          <designated type>.

10.b
          Reason: The modifier all was picked to suggest that values of
          a general access type could point into "all" storage pools, as
          well as to objects declared aliased, and that "all" access
          (both read and update) to the designated object was provided.
          We couldn't think of any use for pool-specific
          access-to-constant types, so any access type defined with the
          modifier constant is considered a general access type, and can
          point into any storage pool or at other (appropriate) aliased
          objects.

10.c
          Implementation Note: The predefined generic
          Unchecked_Deallocation can be instantiated for any named
          access-to-variable type.  There is no (language-defined)
          support for deallocating objects designated by a value of an
          access-to-constant type.  Because of this, an allocator for an
          access-to-constant type can allocate out of a storage pool
          with no support for deallocation.  Frequently, the allocation
          can be done at link-time, if the size and initial value are
          known then.

10.d
          Discussion: For the purpose of generic formal type matching,
          the relevant subclasses of access types are
          access-to-subprogram types, access-to-constant types, and
          (named) access-to-variable types, with its subclass (named)
          general access-to-variable types.  Pool-specific
          access-to-variable types are not a separately matchable
          subclass of types, since they don't have any "extra"
          operations relative to all (named) access-to-variable types.

11
An access_to_subprogram_definition defines an access-to-subprogram type
and its first subtype; the parameter_profile or
parameter_and_result_profile defines the <designated profile> of the
access type.  There is a <calling convention> associated with the
designated profile[; only subprograms with this calling convention can
be designated by values of the access type.]  By default, the calling
convention is "<protected>" if the reserved word protected appears, and
"Ada" otherwise.  [See *note Annex B:: for how to override this
default.]

11.a
          Ramification: The calling convention <protected> is in italics
          to emphasize that it cannot be specified explicitly by the
          user.  This is a consequence of it being a reserved word.

11.b/2
          Implementation Note: {<AI95-00254-01AI95-00254-01>} For a
          named access-to-subprogram type, the representation of an
          access value might include implementation-defined information
          needed to support up-level references -- for example, a static
          link.  The accessibility rules (see *note 3.10.2::) ensure
          that in a "global-display-based" implementation model (as
          opposed to a static-link-based model), a named
          access-to-(unprotected)-subprogram value need consist only of
          the address of the subprogram.  The global display is
          guaranteed to be properly set up any time the designated
          subprogram is called.  Even in a static-link-based model, the
          only time a static link is definitely required is for an
          access-to-subprogram type declared in a scope nested at least
          two levels deep within subprogram or task bodies, since values
          of such a type might designate subprograms nested a smaller
          number of levels.  For the normal case of a named
          access-to-subprogram type declared at the outermost (library)
          level, a code address by itself should be sufficient to
          represent the access value in many implementations.

11.c
          For access-to-protected-subprogram, the access values will
          necessarily include both an address (or other identification)
          of the code of the subprogram, as well as the address of the
          associated protected object.  This could be thought of as a
          static link, but it will be needed even for
          global-display-based implementation models.  It corresponds to
          the value of the "implicit parameter" that is passed into
          every call of a protected operation, to identify the current
          instance of the protected type on which they are to operate.

11.d
          Any Elaboration_Check is performed when a call is made through
          an access value, rather than when the access value is first
          "created" via a 'Access.  For implementation models that
          normally put that check at the call-site, an access value will
          have to point to a separate entry point that does the check.
          Alternatively, the access value could point to a "subprogram
          descriptor" that consisted of two words (or perhaps more), the
          first being the address of the code, the second being the
          elaboration bit.  Or perhaps more efficiently, just the
          address of the code, but using the trick that the descriptor
          is initialized to point to a Raise-Program-Error routine
          initially, and then set to point to the "real" code when the
          body is elaborated.

11.e
          For implementations that share code between generic
          instantiations, the extra level of indirection suggested above
          to support Elaboration_Checks could also be used to provide a
          pointer to the per-instance data area normally required when
          calling shared code.  The trick would be to put a pointer to
          the per-instance data area into the subprogram descriptor, and
          then make sure that the address of the subprogram descriptor
          is loaded into a "known" register whenever an indirect call is
          performed.  Once inside the shared code, the address of the
          per-instance data area can be retrieved out of the subprogram
          descriptor, by indexing off the "known" register.

          {<AI95-00254-01AI95-00254-01>} Note that access parameters of
          an anonymous access-to-subprogram type are permitted.  Such
          parameters represent full "downward" closures, meaning that in
          an implementation that uses a per-task (global) display, the
          display will have to be passed as a hidden parameter, and
          reconstructed at the point of call.

{<AI95-00254-01AI95-00254-01>} {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} An
access_definition defines an anonymous general access type or an
anonymous access-to-subprogram type.  For a general access type, the
subtype_mark denotes its <designated subtype>; if the
general_access_modifier (*note 3.10: S0081.) constant appears, the type
is an access-to-constant type; otherwise, it is an access-to-variable
type.  For an access-to-subprogram type, the parameter_profile (*note
6.1: S0172.) or parameter_and_result_profile (*note 6.1: S0173.) denotes
its <designated profile>.

access type, there is a null access value designating no entity at all,
which can be obtained by (implicitly) converting the literal null to the
access type.  [The null value of an access type is the default initial
value of the type.]  Nonnull values of an access-to-object type are
obtained by evaluating an allocator[, which returns an access value
designating a newly created object (see *note 3.10.2::)], or in the case
of a general access-to-object type, evaluating an attribute_reference
for the Access or Unchecked_Access attribute of an aliased view of an
object.  Nonnull values of an access-to-subprogram type are obtained by
evaluating an attribute_reference for the Access attribute of a
nonintrinsic subprogram.

13.1/2
{<AI95-00231-01AI95-00231-01>} A null_exclusion in a construct specifies
that the null value does not belong to the access subtype defined by the
construct, that is, the access subtype <excludes null>.  In addition,
the anonymous access subtype defined by the access_definition for a
controlling access parameter (see *note 3.9.2::) excludes null.
Finally, for a subtype_indication without a null_exclusion, the subtype
denoted by the subtype_indication excludes null if and only if the
subtype denoted by the subtype_mark in the subtype_indication excludes
null.

13.c/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00231-01AI95-00231-01>} An access_definition
          used in a controlling parameter excludes null because it is
          necessary to read the tag to dispatch, and null has no tag.
          We would have preferred to require not null to be specified
          for such parameters, but that would have been too incompatible
          with Ada 95 code to require.

13.d/2
          {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>} Note that we considered
          imposing a similar implicit null exclusion for controlling
          access results, but chose not to do that, because there is no
          Ada 95 compatibility issue, and there is no automatic null
          check inherent in the use of a controlling access result.  If
          a null check is necessary, it is because there is a
          dereference of the result, or because the value is passed to a
          parameter whose subtype excludes null.  If there is no
          dereference of the result, a null return value is perfectly
          acceptable, and can be a useful indication of a particular
          status of the call.

{<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} [All subtypes of an access-to-subprogram type
are constrained.]  The first subtype of a type defined by an
access_definition or an access_to_object_definition is unconstrained if
the designated subtype is an unconstrained array or discriminated
subtype; otherwise, it is constrained.

14.a
          Proof: The Legality Rules on range_constraints (see *note
          3.5::) do not permit the subtype_mark of the
          subtype_indication to denote an access-to-scalar type, only a
          scalar type.  The Legality Rules on index_constraints (see
          *note 3.6.1::) and discriminant_constraints (see *note
          3.7.1::) both permit access-to-composite types in a
          subtype_indication with such _constraints.  Note that an
          access-to-access-to-composite is never permitted in a
          subtype_indication with a constraint.

14.b/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00363-01AI95-00363-01>} Only
          composite_constraints are permitted for an access type, and
          only on access-to-composite types.  A constraint on an
          access-to-scalar or access-to-access type might be violated
          due to assignments via other access paths that were not so
          constrained.  By contrast, if the designated subtype is an
          array or discriminated type without defaults, the constraint
          could not be violated by unconstrained assignments, since
          array objects are always constrained, and discriminated
          objects are also constrained when the type does not have
          defaults for its discriminants.  Constraints are not allowed
          on general access-to-unconstrained discriminated types if the
          type has defaults for its discriminants; constraints on
          pool-specific access types are usually allowed because
          allocated objects are usually constrained by their initial
          value.

                           _Legality Rules_

14.1/2
{<AI95-00231-01AI95-00231-01>} If a subtype_indication (*note 3.2.2:
S0027.), discriminant_specification (*note 3.7: S0062.),
parameter_specification (*note 6.1: S0175.),
parameter_and_result_profile (*note 6.1: S0173.),
object_renaming_declaration (*note 8.5.1: S0200.), or
formal_object_declaration (*note 12.4: S0280.) has a null_exclusion
(*note 3.10: S0083.), the subtype_mark (*note 3.2.2: S0028.) in that
construct shall denote an access subtype that does not exclude null.

14.c/2
          To be honest: {<AI95-00231-01AI95-00231-01>} This means
          "directly allowed in"; we are not talking about a
          null_exclusion that occurs in an access_definition in one of
          these constructs (for an access_definition, the subtype_mark
          in such an access_definition is not restricted).

14.d/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00231-01AI95-00231-01>} This is similar to
          doubly constraining a composite subtype, which we also don't
          allow.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

15/2
{<AI95-00231-01AI95-00231-01>} A composite_constraint is <compatible>
with an unconstrained access subtype if it is compatible with the
designated subtype.  A null_exclusion is compatible with any access
subtype that does not exclude null.  An access value <satisfies> a
composite_constraint of an access subtype if it equals the null value of
its type or if it designates an object whose value satisfies the
constraint.  An access value satisfies an exclusion of the null value if
it does not equal the null value of its type.

16
The elaboration of an access_type_definition creates the access type and
its first subtype.  For an access-to-object type, this elaboration
includes the elaboration of the subtype_indication, which creates the
designated subtype.

     NOTES

18
     86  Access values are called "pointers" or "references" in some
     other languages.

19
     87  Each access-to-object type has an associated storage pool;
     several access types can share the same pool.  An object can be
     created in the storage pool of an access type by an allocator (see
     *note 4.8::) for the access type.  A storage pool (roughly)
     corresponds to what some other languages call a "heap."  See *note
     13.11:: for a discussion of pools.

20
     88  Only index_constraints and discriminant_constraints can be
     applied to access types (see *note 3.6.1:: and *note 3.7.1::).

26.a
          The syntax for access_type_definition is changed to support
          general access types (including access-to-constants) and
          access-to-subprograms.  The syntax rules for
          general_access_modifier and access_definition are new.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

26.b/3
          {<AI05-0190-1AI05-0190-1>} We use the term "storage pool" to
          talk about the data area from which allocation takes place.
          The term "collection" is only used for finalization.
          ("Collection" and "storage pool" are not the same thing
          because multiple unrelated access types can share the same
          storage pool; see *note 13.11:: for more discussion.)

                     _Inconsistencies With Ada 95_

26.c/2
          {<AI95-00231-01AI95-00231-01>} Access discriminants and
          noncontrolling access parameters no longer exclude null.  A
          program which passed null to such an access discriminant or
          access parameter and expected it to raise Constraint_Error may
          fail when compiled with Ada 2005.  One hopes that there no
          such programs outside of the ACATS. (Of course, a program
          which actually wants to pass null will work, which is far more
          likely.)

26.d/2
          {<AI95-00363-01AI95-00363-01>} Most unconstrained aliased
          objects with defaulted discriminants are no longer constrained
          by their initial values.  This means that a program that
          raised Constraint_Error from an attempt to change the
          discriminants will no longer do so.  The change only affects
          programs that depended on the raising of Constraint_Error in
          this case, so the inconsistency is unlikely to occur outside
          of the ACATS. This change may however cause compilers to
          implement these objects differently, possibly taking
          additional memory or time.  This is unlikely to be worse than
          the differences caused by any major compiler upgrade.

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 95_

26.e/2
          {<AI95-00225-01AI95-00225-01>} Amendment Correction: The rule
          defining when a current instance of a limited type is
          considered to be aliased has been tightened to apply only to
          types that cannot become nonlimited.  A program that attempts
          to take 'Access of the current instance of a limited type that
          can become nonlimited will be illegal in Ada 2005.  While
          original Ada 95 allowed the current instance of any limited
          type to be treated as aliased, this was inconsistently
          implemented in compilers, and was likely to not work as
          expected for types that are ultimately nonlimited.

26.f/2

          can be used in both anonymous and named access type

          Corrigendum: Added accidentally-omitted wording that says that
          a derived access type shares its storage pool with its parent
          type.  This was clearly intended, both because of a note in

          now is worded in terms of immutably limited types.  Wording
          was also added to make extended return object declarations
          that have the keyword aliased be considered aliased.  This
          latter was a significant oversight in Ada 2005 -- technically,
          the keyword aliased had no effect.  But of course

3.10.1 Incomplete Type Declarations
-----------------------------------

1
There are no particular limitations on the designated type of an access
type.  In particular, the type of a component of the designated type can
be another access type, or even the same access type.  This permits
mutually dependent and recursive access types.  An
incomplete_type_declaration can be used to introduce a type to be used
as a designated type, while deferring its full definition to a
subsequent full_type_declaration.

incomplete view>.  If <T> denotes a tagged incomplete view, then
<T>'Class denotes a tagged incomplete view.  [An incomplete view of a

                           _Legality Rules_

3/3
{<AI05-0162-1AI05-0162-1>} An incomplete_type_declaration (*note 3.10.1:
S0085.) requires a completion, which shall be a type_declaration (*note
3.2.1: S0023.) other than an incomplete_type_declaration (*note 3.10.1:
S0085.).  [If the incomplete_type_declaration (*note 3.10.1: S0085.)
occurs immediately within either the visible part of a
package_specification (*note 7.1: S0191.) or a declarative_part (*note
3.11: S0086.), then the type_declaration (*note 3.2.1: S0023.) shall
occur later and immediately within this visible part or declarative_part
(*note 3.11: S0086.).  If the incomplete_type_declaration (*note 3.10.1:
S0085.) occurs immediately within the private part of a given
package_specification (*note 7.1: S0191.), then the type_declaration
(*note 3.2.1: S0023.) shall occur later and immediately within either
the private part itself, or the declarative_part (*note 3.11: S0086.) of
the corresponding package_body (*note 7.2: S0192.).]

3.a
          Proof: This is implied by the next AARM-only rule, plus the
          rules in *note 3.11.1::, "*note 3.11.1:: Completions of
          Declarations" which require a completion to appear later and
          immediately within the same declarative region.

3.b
          To be honest: If the incomplete_type_declaration occurs
          immediately within the visible part of a
          package_specification, then the completing type_declaration
          (*note 3.2.1: S0023.) shall occur immediately within this
          visible part.

3.c
          To be honest: If the implementation supports it, an
          incomplete_type_declaration can be imported (using aspect
          Import, see *note B.1::), in which case no explicit completion
          is allowed.

4/3
{<AI95-00326-01AI95-00326-01>} {<AI05-0162-1AI05-0162-1>} If an
incomplete_type_declaration (*note 3.10.1: S0085.) includes the reserved
word tagged, then a type_declaration (*note 3.2.1: S0023.) that
completes it shall declare a tagged type.  If an
incomplete_type_declaration (*note 3.10.1: S0085.) has a
known_discriminant_part (*note 3.7: S0061.), then a type_declaration
(*note 3.2.1: S0023.) that completes it shall have a fully conforming
(explicit) known_discriminant_part (*note 3.7: S0061.) (see *note
6.3.1::).  [If an incomplete_type_declaration (*note 3.10.1: S0085.) has
no discriminant_part (or an unknown_discriminant_part (*note 3.7:
S0060.)), then a corresponding type_declaration (*note 3.2.1: S0023.) is
nevertheless allowed to have discriminants, either explicitly, or
inherited via derivation.]

5/2
{<AI95-00326-01AI95-00326-01>} A name that denotes an incomplete view of
a type may be used as follows:

6/3
   * {<AI05-0098-1AI05-0098-1>} as the subtype_mark in the
     subtype_indication of an access_to_object_definition (*note 3.10:
     S0080.); [the only form of constraint allowed in this
     subtype_indication is a discriminant_constraint [(a null_exclusion
     is not allowed)];]

6.a
          Implementation Note: We now allow discriminant_constraints
          even if the full type is deferred to the package body.
          However, there is no particular implementation burden because
          we have dropped the concept of the dependent compatibility
          check.  In other words, we have effectively repealed
          AI83-00007.

7/2
   * {<AI95-00326-01AI95-00326-01>} {<AI95-00412-01AI95-00412-01>} as
     the subtype_mark in the subtype_indication of a
     subtype_declaration; the subtype_indication (*note 3.2.2: S0027.)
     shall not have a null_exclusion (*note 3.10: S0083.) or a
     constraint;

8/3
   * {<AI95-00326-01AI95-00326-01>} {<AI05-0151-1AI05-0151-1>} as the
     subtype_mark in an access_definition for an access-to-object type;

8.a/2
          To be honest: This does not mean any random subtype_mark in a
          construct that makes up an access_definition, such as a
          formal_part, just the one given directly in the syntax of
          access_definition.

8.1/3
   * {<AI05-0151-1AI05-0151-1>} as the subtype_mark defining the subtype
     of a parameter or result in a profile occurring within a
     basic_declaration;

8.b/3
          Ramification: But not in the profile for a body or entry.

8.2/3
   * {<AI05-0213-1AI05-0213-1>} as a generic actual parameter whose
     corresponding generic formal parameter is a formal incomplete type
     (see *note 12.5.1::).

8.3/2
{<AI95-00326-01AI95-00326-01>} If such a name denotes a tagged
incomplete view, it may also be used:

8.4/3
   * {<AI95-00326-01AI95-00326-01>} {<AI05-0151-1AI05-0151-1>} as the
     subtype_mark defining the subtype of a parameter in the profile for
     a subprogram_body, entry_body, or accept_statement;

9/2
   * {<AI95-00326-01AI95-00326-01>} as the prefix of an
     attribute_reference whose attribute_designator (*note 4.1.4:
     S0101.) is Class; such an attribute_reference (*note 4.1.4: S0100.)
     is restricted to the uses allowed here; it denotes a tagged
     incomplete view.

9.b/3
          <This paragraph was deleted.>

9.3/2
{<AI95-00326-01AI95-00326-01>} If any of the above uses occurs as part
of the declaration of a primitive subprogram of the incomplete view, and
the declaration occurs immediately within the private part of a package,
then the completion of the incomplete view shall also occur immediately
within the private part; it shall not be deferred to the package body.

9.c/2
          Reason: This fixes a hole in Ada 95 where a dispatching
          operation with an access parameter could be declared in a
          private part and a dispatching call on it could occur in a
          child even though there is no visibility on the full type,
          requiring access to the controlling tag without access to the
          representation of the type.

9.4/2
{<AI95-00326-01AI95-00326-01>} No other uses of a name that denotes an
incomplete view of a type are allowed.

10/3
{<AI95-00326-01AI95-00326-01>} {<AI05-0151-1AI05-0151-1>} A prefix that
denotes an object shall not be of an incomplete view.  An actual
parameter in a call shall not be of an untagged incomplete view.  The
result object of a function call shall not be of an incomplete view.  A
prefix shall not denote a subprogram having a formal parameter of an
untagged incomplete view, nor a return type that is an incomplete view.

10.a/2
          Reason: We used to disallow all dereferences of an incomplete
          type.  Now we only disallow such dereferences when used as a
          prefix.  Dereferences used in other contexts do not pose a
          problem since normal type matching will preclude their use
          except when the full type is "nearby" as context (for example,
          as the expected type).

10.b/2
          This also disallows prefixes that are directly of an
          incomplete view.  For instance, a parameter <P> can be
          declared of a tagged incomplete type, but we don't want to
          allow <P>'Size, <P>'Alignment, or the like, as representation
          values aren't known for an incomplete view.

10.c/2
          We say "denotes an object" so that prefixes that directly name
          an incomplete view are not covered; the previous rules cover
          such cases, and we certainly don't want to ban Incomp'Class.

10.d/3
          {<AI05-0151-1AI05-0151-1>} As subprogram profiles now may
          include any kind of incomplete type, we also disallow passing
          objects of untagged incomplete types in subprogram calls (as
          the parameter passing method is not known as it is for tagged
          types) and disallow returning any sort of incomplete objects
          (since we don't know how big they are).

<Paragraph 11 was deleted.>

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

12
The elaboration of an incomplete_type_declaration has no effect.

12.a
          Reason: An incomplete type has no real existence, so it
          doesn't need to be "created" in the usual sense we do for
          other types.  It is roughly equivalent to a "forward;"
          declaration in Pascal.  Private types are different, because
          they have a different set of characteristics from their full
          type.

     NOTES

13
     89  Within a declarative_part, an incomplete_type_declaration and a
     corresponding full_type_declaration cannot be separated by an
     intervening body.  This is because a type has to be completely
     defined before it is frozen, and a body freezes all types declared
     prior to it in the same declarative_part (see *note 13.14::).

13.1/3
     90  {<AI05-0151-1AI05-0151-1>} {<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>} A name
     that denotes an object of an incomplete view is defined to be of a
     limited type.  Hence, the target of an assignment statement cannot
     be of an incomplete view.

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

23.a
          The full_type_declaration that completes an
          incomplete_type_declaration may have a known_discriminant_part
          even if the incomplete_type_declaration does not.

23.b/1
          A discriminant_constraint may be applied to an incomplete
          type, even if its completion is deferred to the package body,
          because there is no "dependent compatibility check" required
          any more.  Of course, the constraint can be specified only if
          a known_discriminant_part was given in the
          incomplete_type_declaration.  As mentioned in the previous
          paragraph, that is no longer required even when the full type
          has discriminants.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

23.c
          Dereferences producing incomplete types were not explicitly
          disallowed in RM83, though AI83-00039 indicated that it was
          not strictly necessary since troublesome cases would result in
          Constraint_Error at run time, since the access value would
          necessarily be null.  However, this introduces an undesirable
          implementation burden, as illustrated by Example 4 of
          AI83-00039:

23.d
               package Pack is
                   type Pri is private;
               private
                   type Sep;
                   type Pri is access Sep;
                   X : Pri;
               end Pack;

23.e
               package body Pack is --< Could be separately compiled!>
                   type Sep is ...;
                   X := new Sep;
               end Pack;

23.f
               pragma Elaborate(Pack);
               private package Pack.Child is
                   I : Integer := X.all'Size; --< Legal, by AI-00039.>
               end Pack.Child;

23.g
          Generating code for the above example could be a serious
          implementation burden, since it would require all aliased
          objects to store size dope, and for that dope to be in the
          same format for all kinds of types (or some other equivalently
          inefficient implementation).  On the contrary, most
          implementations allocate dope differently (or not at all) for
          different designated subtypes.

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 95_

23.h/2
          {<AI95-00326-01AI95-00326-01>} It is now illegal to use an
          incomplete view (type) as the parameter or result of an
          access-to-subprogram type unless the incomplete view is
          completed in the same declaration list as the use.  This was
          allowed in Ada 95 for incomplete types where the completion
          was deferred to the body.  By disallowing this rare use of
          incomplete views, we can allow the use of incomplete views in
          many more places, which is especially valuable for limited
          views.

23.i/2
          {<AI95-00326-01AI95-00326-01>} It is now illegal to use an
          incomplete view (type) in a primitive subprogram of the type
          unless the incomplete view is completed in the package
          specification.  This was allowed in Ada 95 for incomplete
          types where the completion was deferred to the body (the use
          would have to be in an access parameter).  This
          incompatibility was caused by the fix for the hole noted in
          Legality Rules above.

                        _Extensions to Ada 95_

23.j/2
          {<AI95-00326-01AI95-00326-01>} Tagged incomplete types are
          new.  They are allowed in parameter declarations as well as
          the usual places, as tagged types are always by-reference
          types (and thus there can be no code generation issue).

23.k/2
          {<AI95-00412-01AI95-00412-01>} A subtype_declaration can be
          used to give a new name to an incomplete view of a type.  This
          is valuable to give shorter names to entities imported with a
          limited_with_clause.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

23.l/2
          {<AI95-00326-01AI95-00326-01>} The description of incomplete
          types as <incomplete views> is new.  Ada 95 defined these as
          separate types, but neglected to give any rules for matching
          them with other types.  Luckily, implementers did the right
          thing anyway.  This change also makes it easier to describe
          the meaning of a limited view.

                       _Extensions to Ada 2005_

23.m/3
          {<AI05-0098-1AI05-0098-1>} Correction: Fixed the definition so
          that an anonymous access-to-subprogram type can use an
          incomplete view in the same way that a named
          access-to-subprogram type can.

23.n/3
          {<AI05-0151-1AI05-0151-1>} Incomplete types now can be used in
          subprogram declarations.  The type has to be complete before
          any calls or the body is declared.  This reduces the places
          where access types are required for types imported from
          limited views of packages.

23.o/3
          {<AI05-0162-1AI05-0162-1>} Incomplete types now can be
          completed by private types and private extensions.  Since this
          can already happen for limited views, there is no remaining
          reason to disallow it for explicitly declared incomplete
          types.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

23.p/3
          {<AI05-0208-1AI05-0208-1>} Correction: Changed the rules of
          uses of dereferences of incomplete views such that it does not
          introduce an unintentional incompatibility with Ada 83 and Ada

          {<AI05-0213-1AI05-0213-1>} Incomplete types now can be used as
          actuals to formal incomplete types (see *note 12.5.1::).

23.r/4
          {<AI12-0137-1AI12-0137-1>} Corrigndum: Changed the wording to
          clarify that the class-wide type associated with a specific
          tagged type that has an incomplete view is also an incomplete
          view.  While this was previously undefined, an interpretation
          where it is not an incomplete view is leads to semantic
          nonsense, and thus we don't consider this a potential
          incompatibility, as compilers most likely are doing the right
          thing.

3.10.2 Operations of Access Types
---------------------------------

1/3
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} [The attribute Access is used to create
access values designating aliased objects and nonintrinsic subprograms.
The "accessibility" rules prevent dangling references (in the absence of
uses of certain unchecked features -- see Clause *note 13::).]

                     _Language Design Principles_

1.a
          It should be possible for an access value to designate an
          object declared by an object declaration, or a subcomponent
          thereof.  In implementation terms, this means pointing at
          stack-allocated and statically allocated data structures.
          However, dangling references should be prevented, primarily
          via compile-time rules, so long as features like
          Unchecked_Access and Unchecked_Deallocation are not used.

1.b
          In order to create such access values, we require that the
          access type be a general access type, that the designated
          object be aliased, and that the accessibility rules be obeyed.

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

2/2
{<AI95-00235-01AI95-00235-01>} For an attribute_reference with
attribute_designator Access (or Unchecked_Access -- see *note 13.10::),
the expected type shall be a single access type <A> such that:

2.1/2
   * {<AI95-00235-01AI95-00235-01>} <A> is an access-to-object type with
     designated type <D> and the type of the prefix is <D>'Class or is
     covered by <D>, or

2.2/2
   * {<AI95-00235-01AI95-00235-01>} <A> is an access-to-subprogram type
     whose designated profile is type conformant with that of the
     prefix.

2.3/2
{<AI95-00235-01AI95-00235-01>} [The prefix of such an
attribute_reference is never interpreted as an implicit_dereference or a
parameterless function_call (see *note 4.1.4::).]  The designated type
or profile of the expected type of the attribute_reference is the
expected type or profile for the prefix.

2.a
          Discussion: Saying that the expected type shall be a "single
          access type" is our "new" way of saying that the type has to
          be determinable from context using only the fact that it is an
          access type.  See *note 4.2:: and *note 8.6::.  Specifying the
          expected profile only implies type conformance.  The more
          stringent subtype conformance is required by a Legality Rule.
          This is the only Resolution Rule that applies to the name in a
          prefix of an attribute_reference.  In all other cases, the
          name has to be resolved without using context.  See *note
          4.1.4::.

2.b/2
          {<AI95-00235-01AI95-00235-01>} Saying "single access type" is
          a bit of a fudge.  Both the context and the prefix may provide
          both multiple types; "single" only means that a single,
          specific interpretation must remain after resolution.  We say
          "single" here to trigger the Legality Rules of *note 8.6::.
          The resolution of an access attribute is similar to that of an
          assignment_statement.  For example:

2.c/2
               type Int_Ptr is access all Integer;
               type Char_Ptr is access all Character;
               type Float_Ptr is access all Float;

2.d/2
               function Zap (Val : Int_Ptr) return Float;   -- <(1)>
               function Zap (Val : Float_Ptr) return Float; -- <(2)>
               function Zop return Int_Ptr;  -- <(3)>
               function Zop return Char_Ptr; -- <(4)>

2.e/2
               Result : Float := Zap (Zop.all'Access); -- <Resolves to Zap (1) and Zop (3).>

                          _Static Semantics_

3/2
{<AI95-00162-01AI95-00162-01>} [The accessibility rules, which prevent
dangling references, are written in terms of <accessibility levels>,
which reflect the run-time nesting of <masters>.  As explained in *note
7.6.1::, a master is the execution of a certain construct, such as a
subprogram_body.  An accessibility level is <deeper than> another if it
is more deeply nested at run time.  For example, an object declared
local to a called subprogram has a deeper accessibility level than an
object declared local to the calling subprogram.  The accessibility
rules for access types require that the accessibility level of an object
designated by an access value be no deeper than that of the access type.
This ensures that the object will live at least as long as the access
type, which in turn ensures that the access value cannot later designate
an object that no longer exists.  The Unchecked_Access attribute may be
used to circumvent the accessibility rules.]

3.a/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} The Unchecked_Access
          attribute acts as if the object was declared at library-level;
          this applies even when it is used as the value of anonymous
          access type.  See *note 13.10::.

3.b/3
          Subclause *note 3.10.2::, home of the accessibility rules, is
          informally known as the "Heart of Darkness" amongst the
          maintainers of Ada.  Woe unto all who enter here (well, at
          least unto anyone that needs to understand any of these
          rules).  

4
[A given accessibility level is said to be <statically deeper> than
another if the given level is known at compile time (as defined below)
to be deeper than the other for all possible executions.  In most cases,
accessibility is enforced at compile time by Legality Rules.  Run-time
accessibility checks are also used, since the Legality Rules do not
cover certain cases involving access parameters and generic packages.]

5
Each master, and each entity and view created by it, has an
accessibility level:

6
   * The accessibility level of a given master is deeper than that of
     each dynamically enclosing master, and deeper than that of each
     master upon which the task executing the given master directly
     depends (see *note 9.3::).

7/4
   * {<AI95-00162-01AI95-00162-01>} {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>}
     {<AI05-0235-1AI05-0235-1>} {<AI12-0067-1AI12-0067-1>}
     {<AI12-0089-1AI12-0089-1>} An entity or view defined by a
     declaration and created as part of its elaboration has the same
     accessibility level as the innermost master of the declaration
     except in the cases of renaming and derived access types described
     below.  Other than for an explicitly aliased parameter of a
     function or generic function, a formal parameter of a callable
     entity has the same accessibility level as the master representing
     the invocation of the entity.

7.a/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>} This rule defines the
          "normal" accessibility of entities.  In the absence of special
          rules below, we intend for this rule to apply.

7.b/4
          Discussion: {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>}
          {<AI12-0005-1AI12-0005-1>} This rule defines the accessibility
          of all named access types, as well as the accessibility level
          of anonymous access types in a component_definition Special
          rules exist for the accessibility level of other anonymous
          types.  Components whose (anonymous) type is defined by an
          access_definition have accessibility levels corresponding to
          named access types defined at the same point.

7.c/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} Because
          accessibility level is determined by where the
          access_definition is elaborated, for a type extension, the
          anonymous access types of components (other than access
          discriminants) inherited from the parent have the same
          accessibility as they did in the parent; those in the
          extension part have the accessibility determined by the scope
          where the type extension is declared.  Similarly, the types of
          the nondiscriminant access components of a derived untagged
          type have the same accessibility as they did in the parent.

7.d/3
          To be honest: {<AI05-0235-1AI05-0235-1>} We use "invocation
          of" in the parameter case as a master is formally an execution
          of something.  But we mean this to be interpreted statically
          (for instance, as the body of the subprogram) for the purposes
          of computing "statically deeper than" (see below).

7.e/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0235-1AI05-0235-1>} Note that
          accessibility can differ depending on the view of an object
          (for both static and dynamic accessibility).  For instance,
          the accessibility level of a formal parameter may be different
          than the accessibility level of the corresponding actual
          parameter.  This occurs in other cases as well.

7.f/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0235-1AI05-0235-1>} We define the (dynamic)
          accessibility of formal parameters in order that it does not
          depend on the parameter passing model (by-reference or
          by-copy) as that is implementation defined.  Otherwise, there
          would be a portability issue.

8
   * The accessibility level of a view of an object or subprogram
     defined by a renaming_declaration is the same as that of the
     renamed view.

9/2
   * {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>} The accessibility level of a view
     conversion, qualified_expression, or parenthesized expression, is
     the same as that of the operand.

9.1/3
   * {<AI05-0188-1AI05-0188-1>} The accessibility level of a
     conditional_expression is the accessibility level of the evaluated
     <dependent_>expression.

10/4
   * {<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>} {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>}
     {<AI05-0234-1AI05-0234-1>} {<AI12-0027-1AI12-0027-1>} The
     accessibility level of an aggregate that is used (in its entirety)
     to directly initialize part of an object is that of the object
     being initialized.  In other contexts, the accessibility level of
     an aggregate is that of the innermost master that evaluates the
     aggregate.  Corresponding rules apply to a value conversion (see
     *note 4.6::).

10.1/3
   * {<AI05-0234-1AI05-0234-1>} The accessibility level of the result of
     a function call is that of the <master of the function call>, which
     is determined by the point of call as follows:

10.2/3
             * If the result is used (in its entirety) to directly
               initialize part of an object, the master is that of the
               object being initialized.  In the case where the
               initialized object is a coextension (see below) that
               becomes a coextension of another object, the master is
               that of the eventual object to which the coextension will
               be transferred.

10.a/2
          To be honest: {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>} The first
          sentence is talking about a static use of the entire return
          object -- a slice that happens to be the entire return object
          doesn't count.  On the other hand, this is intended to allow
          parentheses and qualified_expressions.

10.b/3
          Ramification: {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>}
          {<AI05-0234-1AI05-0234-1>} If the function is used as a
          prefix, this bullet does not apply.  Similarly, an
          assignment_statement is not an initialization of an object, so
          this bullet does not apply.

10.3/3
             * If the result is of an anonymous access type and is the
               operand of an explicit conversion, the master is that of
               the target type of the conversion;

10.4/3
             * If the result is of an anonymous access type and defines
               an access discriminant, the master is the same as that
               for an object created by an anonymous allocator that
               defines an access discriminant (even if the access result
               is of an access-to-subprogram type).

10.5/3
             * If the call itself defines the result of a function to
               which one of the above rules applies, these rules are
               applied recursively;

10.6/3
             * In other cases, the master of the call is that of the
               innermost master that evaluates the function call.

10.c/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>}
          {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>} The "innermost master which
          evaluated the function call" does not include the function
          call itself (which might be a master).

10.d/2
          {<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>} {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>}
          We really mean the innermost master here, which could be a
          very short lifetime.  Consider a function call used as a
          parameter of a procedure call.  In this case the innermost
          master which evaluated the function call is the procedure
          call.

10.d.1/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0234-1AI05-0234-1>} These rules do not
          mention whether the result object is built-in-place (see *note
          7.6::).  In particular, in the case where building in place is
          optional, the choice whether or not to build-in-place has no
          effect on masters, lifetimes, or accessibility.

10.d.2/3
          Implementation Note: {<AI05-0234-1AI05-0234-1>} There are
          several cases where the implementation may have to pass in the
          accessibility level of the result object on a call, to support
          later rules where the accessibility level comes from the
          master of the call:

10.d.3/3
             * when the function result may have a part with access
               discriminants;

10.d.4/3
             * when the function result type is an anonymous access
               type;

10.d.5/3
             * when the function result is built-in-place;

10.d.6/3
             * when the function has an explicitly aliased parameter.

10.d.7/3
          In particular, this implies passing a level parameter when the
          result type is class-wide, since descendants may add access
          discriminants.  For most implementations this will mean that
          functions with controlling results will also need a level
          parameter.

10.7/3
     {<AI05-0284-1AI05-0284-1>} In the case of a call to a function
     whose result type is an anonymous access type, the accessibility
     level of the type of the result of the function call is also
     determined by the point of call as described above.

10.8/3
   * {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>} Within a return statement, the
     accessibility level of the return object is that of the execution
     of the return statement.  If the return statement completes
     normally by returning from the function, then prior to leaving the
     function, the accessibility level of the return object changes to
     be a level determined by the point of call, as does the level of
     any coextensions (see below) of the return object.

10.e/2
          Reason: We define the accessibility level of the return object
          during the return statement to be that of the return statement
          itself so that the object may be designated by objects local
          to the return statement, but not by objects outside the return
          statement.  In addition, the intent is that the return object
          gets finalized if the return statement ends without actually
          returning (for example, due to propagating an exception, or a
          goto).  For a normal return, of course, no finalization is
          done before returning.

11
   * The accessibility level of a derived access type is the same as
     that of its ultimate ancestor.

11.1/2
   * {<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} The accessibility level of the
     anonymous access type defined by an access_definition of an
     object_renaming_declaration is the same as that of the renamed
     view.

12/2
   * {<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>} The
     accessibility level of the anonymous access type of an access
     discriminant in the subtype_indication or qualified_expression of
     an allocator, or in the expression or return_subtype_indication
     (*note 6.5: S0187.) of a return statement is determined as follows:

12.1/2
             * If the value of the access discriminant is determined by
               a discriminant_association in a subtype_indication, the
               accessibility level of the object or subprogram
               designated by the associated value (or library level if
               the value is null);

12.a/2
          Discussion: This deals with the following cases, when they
          occur in the context of an allocator or return statement:

12.b/2
                  * An extension_aggregate where the ancestor_part is a
                    subtype_mark denoting a constrained subtype;

12.c/2
                  * An uninitialized allocator where the
                    subtype_indication defines a constrained subtype;

12.d/2
                  * A discriminant of an object with a constrained
                    nominal subtype, including constrained components,
                    the result of calling a function with a constrained
                    result subtype, the dereference of an
                    access-to-constrained subtype, etc.

12.e/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0281-1AI05-0281-1>} The
          subtype_indication mentioned in this bullet is not necessarily
          the one given in the allocator or return statement that is
          determining the accessibility level; the constrained subtype
          might have been defined in an earlier declaration (as a named
          subtype).

12.f/3
          {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} If the value for this rule and the
          next one is derived from an Unchecked_Access attribute, the
          accessibility is library-level no matter what the
          accessibility level of the object is (see *note 13.10::).

12.2/3
             * {<AI05-0234-1AI05-0234-1>} If the value of the access
               discriminant is determined by a default_expression in the
               declaration of the discriminant, the level of the object
               or subprogram designated by the associated value (or
               library level if null);

12.f.1/3
          Discussion: This covers the case of an unconstrained
          subcomponent of a limited type with defaulted access
          discriminants.

12.3/3
             * {<AI05-0004-1AI05-0004-1>} If the value of the access
               discriminant is determined by a
               record_component_association in an aggregate, the
               accessibility level of the object or subprogram
               designated by the associated value (or library level if
               the value is null);

12.g/2
          Discussion: In this bullet, the aggregate has to occur in the
          context of an allocator or return statement, while the
          subtype_indication of the previous bullet can occur anywhere
          (it doesn't have to be directly given in the allocator or
          return statement).

12.4/3
             * In other cases, where the value of the access
               discriminant is determined by an object with an
               unconstrained nominal subtype, the accessibility level of

12.h/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>} In other words, if
          you know the value of the discriminant for an allocator or
          return statement from a discriminant constraint or an
          aggregate component association, then that determines the
          accessibility level; if you don't know it, then it is based on
          the object itself.

12.5/3
   * {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>} The accessibility level of the
     anonymous access type of an access discriminant in any other
     context is that of the enclosing object.

     {<AI05-0270-1AI05-0270-1>} The accessibility level of the anonymous
     access type of an access parameter specifying an access-to-object
     type is the same as that of the view designated by the actual (or
     library-level if the actual is null).

13.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} If the value of the
          actual is derived from an Unchecked_Access attribute, the
          accessibility is always library-level (see *note 13.10::).

13.1/2
   * {<AI95-00254-01AI95-00254-01>} The accessibility level of the
     anonymous access type of an access parameter specifying an
     access-to-subprogram type is deeper than that of any master; all
     such anonymous access types have this same level.

13.b/2
          Reason: These represent "downward closures" and thus require
          passing of static links or global display information (along
          with generic sharing information if the implementation does
          sharing) along with the address of the subprogram.  We must
          prevent conversions of these to types with "normal"
          accessibility, as those typically don't include the extra
          information needed to make a call.

13.2/4
   * {<AI12-0070-1AI12-0070-1>} The accessibility level of the anonymous
     access subtype defined by a return_subtype_indication that is an
     access_definition (see *note 6.5::) is that of the result subtype
     of the enclosing function.

     {<AI12-0070-1AI12-0070-1>} The accessibility level of the type of a
     stand-alone object of an anonymous access-to-object type is the
     same as the accessibility level of the type of the access value
     most recently assigned to the object[; accessibility checks ensure
     that this is never deeper than that of the declaration of the
     stand-alone object].

     {<AI12-0070-1AI12-0070-1>} The accessibility level of an explicitly
     aliased (see *note 6.1::) formal parameter in a function body is
     determined by the point of call; it is the same level that the
     return object ultimately will have.

     {<AI05-0253-1AI05-0253-1>} The accessibility level of an object
     created by an allocator is the same as that of the access type,
     except for an allocator of an anonymous access type (an <anonymous
     allocator>) in certain contexts, as follows: For an anonymous
     allocator that defines the result of a function with an access
     result, the accessibility level is determined as though the
     allocator were in place of the call of the function; in the special
     case of a call that is the operand of a type conversion, the level
     is that of the target access type of the conversion.  For an
     anonymous allocator defining the value of an access parameter, the
     accessibility level is that of the innermost master of the call.
     For an anonymous allocator whose type is that of a stand-alone
     object of an anonymous access-to-object type, the accessibility
     level is that of the declaration of the stand-alone object.  For
     one defining an access discriminant, the accessibility level is
     determined as follows:

             * {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>} {<AI05-0024-1AI05-0024-1>}
               for an allocator used to define the discriminant of an
               object, the level of the object;

14.2/3
             * {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>} {<AI05-0024-1AI05-0024-1>}
               for an allocator used to define the constraint in a
               subtype_indication in any other context, the level of the
               master that elaborates the subtype_indication.

     {<AI05-0066-1AI05-0066-1>} In the first case, the allocated object
     is said to be a <coextension> of the object whose discriminant
     designates it, as well as of any object of which the discriminated
     object is itself a coextension or subcomponent.  If the allocated
     object is a coextension of an anonymous object representing the
     result of an aggregate or function call that is used (in its
     entirety) to directly initialize a part of an object, after the
     result is assigned, the coextension becomes a coextension of the
     object being initialized and is no longer considered a coextension
     of the anonymous object.  All coextensions of an object [(which
     have not thus been transfered by such an initialization)] are
     finalized when the object is finalized (see *note 7.6.1::).

14.a.1/2
          Ramification: The rules of access discriminants are such that
          when the space for an object with a coextension is reclaimed,
          the space for the coextensions can be reclaimed.  Hence, there
          is implementation advice (see 13.11) that an object and its
          coextensions all be allocated from the same storage pool (or
          stack frame, in the case of a declared object).

14.5/3
   * {<AI05-0051-1AI05-0051-1>} Within a return statement, the
     accessibility level of the anonymous access type of an access
     result is that of the master of the call.

15/3
   * {<AI05-0014-1AI05-0014-1>} The accessibility level of a view of an

          {<AI05-0014-1AI05-0014-1>} This rule applies even when no
          dereference exists, for example when an access value is passed
          as an access parameter.  This rule ensures that
          implementations are not required to include dynamic
          accessibility values with all access values.

16
   * The accessibility level of a component, protected subprogram, or
     entry of (a view of) a composite object is the same as that of (the
     view of) the composite object.

16.1/3
{<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} In the above
rules, the operand of a view conversion, parenthesized expression or
qualified_expression is considered to be used in a context if the view
conversion, parenthesized expression or qualified_expression itself is
used in that context.  Similarly, a <dependent_>expression of a
conditional_expression is considered to be used in a context if the
conditional_expression itself is used in that context.

17
One accessibility level is defined to be <statically deeper> than
another in the following cases:

18
   * For a master that is statically nested within another master, the
     accessibility level of the inner master is statically deeper than
     that of the outer master.

18.a
          To be honest: Strictly speaking, this should talk about the
          <constructs> (such as subprogram_bodies) being statically
          nested within one another; the masters are really the
          <executions> of those constructs.

18.b
          To be honest: If a given accessibility level is statically
          deeper than another, then each level defined to be the same as
          the given level is statically deeper than each level defined
          to be the same as the other level.

18.1/2
   * {<AI95-00254-01AI95-00254-01>} The accessibility level of the
     anonymous access type of an access parameter specifying an
     access-to-subprogram type is statically deeper than that of any
     master; all such anonymous access types have this same level.

18.c/2
          Ramification: This rule means that it is illegal to convert an
          access parameter specifying an access to subprogram to a named
          access to subprogram type, but it is allowed to pass such an
          access parameter to another access parameter (the implicit
          conversion's accessibility will succeed).

19/3
   * {<AI95-00254-01AI95-00254-01>} {<AI05-0082-1AI05-0082-1>} The
     statically deeper relationship does not apply to the accessibility
     level of the anonymous type of an access parameter specifying an
     access-to-object type nor does it apply to a descendant of a
     generic formal type; that is, such an accessibility level is not
     considered to be statically deeper, nor statically shallower, than
     any other.

19.1/3
   * {<AI05-0148-1AI05-0148-1>} The statically deeper relationship does
     not apply to the accessibility level of the type of a stand-alone
     object of an anonymous access-to-object type; that is, such an
     accessibility level is not considered to be statically deeper, nor
     statically shallower, than any other.

19.a/3

          checks.

     return object of <F>, the level of the return object is considered
     to be the same as that of the level of the explicitly aliased
     parameter; for statically comparing with the level of other
     entities, an explicitly aliased parameter of <F> is considered to
     have the accessibility level of the body of <F>.

     expression function <F>, the level of the master of the call is
     presumed to be the same as that of the level of the master that
     elaborated the body of <F>.

20
   * or generic function <F>

20.a/3
          To be honest: {<AI05-0235-1AI05-0235-1>} This rule has no
          effect if the previous bullet also applies (that is, the "a
          level" is of an explicitly aliased parameter).

21
   * [For determining whether one level is statically deeper than
     another when within a generic package body, the generic package is
     presumed to be instantiated at the same level as where it was
     declared; run-time checks are needed in the case of more deeply
     nested instantiations.]

21.a/3
          Proof: {<AI05-0082-1AI05-0082-1>} A generic package does not
          introduce a new master, so it has the static level of its
          declaration; the rest follows from the other "statically
          deeper" rules.

22
   * For determining whether one level is statically deeper than another
     when within the declarative region of a type_declaration, the
     current instance of the type is presumed to be an object created at
     a deeper level than that of the type.

22.a
          Ramification: In other words, the rules are checked at compile
          time of the type_declaration, in an assume-the-worst manner.

23
The accessibility level of all library units is called the <library
level>; a library-level declaration or entity is one whose accessibility
level is the library level.

23.a
          Ramification: Library_unit_declarations are library level.
          Nested declarations are library level if they are nested only
          within packages (possibly more than one), and not within
          subprograms, tasks, etc.

23.b/2
          To be honest: The definition of the accessibility level of the
          anonymous type of an access parameter specifying an
          access-to-object type cheats a bit, since it refers to the
          view designated by the actual, but access values designate
          objects, not views of objects.  What we really mean is the
          view that "would be" denoted by an expression "X.all", where X
          is the actual, even though such an expression is a figment of
          our imagination.  The definition is intended to be equivalent
          to the following more verbose version: The accessibility level
          of the anonymous type of an access parameter is as follows:

23.c
             * if the actual is an expression of a named access type --
               the accessibility level of that type;

23.d
             * if the actual is an allocator -- the accessibility level
               of the execution of the called subprogram;

23.e/1
             * if the actual is a reference to the Access attribute --
               the accessibility level of the view denoted by the
               prefix;

23.f
             * if the actual is a reference to the Unchecked_Access
               attribute -- library accessibility level;

23.g
             * if the actual is an access parameter -- the accessibility
               level of its type.

23.h
          Note that the allocator case is explicitly mentioned in the
          RM95, because otherwise the definition would be circular: the
          level of the anonymous type is that of the view designated by
          the actual, which is that of the access type.

23.i
          Discussion: A deeper accessibility level implies a shorter
          maximum lifetime.  Hence, when a rule requires X to have a
          level that is "not deeper than" Y's level, this requires that
          X has a lifetime at least as long as Y. (We say "maximum
          lifetime" here, because the accessibility level really
          represents an upper bound on the lifetime; an object created
          by an allocator can have its lifetime prematurely ended by an
          instance of Unchecked_Deallocation.)

23.j
          Package elaborations are not masters, and are therefore
          invisible to the accessibility rules: an object declared
          immediately within a package has the same accessibility level
          as an object declared immediately within the declarative
          region containing the package.  This is true even in the body
          of a package; it jibes with the fact that objects declared in
          a package_body live as long as objects declared outside the
          package, even though the body objects are not visible outside
          the package.

23.k
          Note that the level of the <view> denoted by X.all can be
          different from the level of the <object> denoted by X.all.
          The former is determined by the type of X; the latter is
          determined either by the type of the allocator, or by the
          master in which the object was declared.  The former is used
          in several Legality Rules and run-time checks; the latter is
          used to define when X.all gets finalized.  The level of a view
          reflects what we can conservatively "know" about the object of
          that view; for example, due to type_conversions, an access
          value might designate an object that was allocated by an
          allocator for a different access type.

23.l
          Similarly, the level of the view denoted by X.all.Comp can be
          different from the level of the object denoted by X.all.Comp.

23.m
          If Y is statically deeper than X, this implies that Y will be
          (dynamically) deeper than X in all possible executions.

23.n
          Most accessibility checking is done at compile time; the rules
          are stated in terms of "statically deeper than".  The
          exceptions are:

23.o/2
             * Checks involving access parameters of an access-to-object
               type.  The fact that "statically deeper than" is not
               defined for the anonymous access type of an access
               parameter implies that any rule saying "shall not be
               statically deeper than" does not apply to such a type,
               nor to anything defined to have "the same" level as such
               a type.

23.o.1/3
             * {<AI05-0082-1AI05-0082-1>} Checks involving generic
               formal types and their descendants.  This is because the
               actual type can be more or less deeply nested than the
               generic unit.  Note that this only applies to the generic
               unit itself, and not to the instance.  Any static checks
               needed in the instance will be performed.  Any other
               checks (such as those in the generic body) will require a
               run-time check of some sort (although implementations
               that macro-expand generics can determine the result of
               the check when the generic is expanded).

23.p/3
             * {<AI05-0082-1AI05-0082-1>} Checks involving other
               entities and views within generic packages.  This is
               because an instantiation can be at a level that is more
               deeply nested than the generic package itself.  In
               implementations that use a macro-expansion model of
               generics, these violations can be detected at
               macro-expansion time.  For implementations that share
               generics, run-time code is needed to detect the error.

               {<AI95-00344-01AI95-00344-01>}

               return and allocators, for nested type extensions and
               access discriminants.

23.r/3
          {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} Note that run-time checks are not
          required for access discriminants (except during function
          returns and allocators), because their accessibility is
          determined statically by the accessibility level of the
          enclosing object.

23.s/2
          The accessibility level of the result object of a function
          reflects the time when that object will be finalized; we don't
          allow pointers to the object to survive beyond that time.

23.t
          We sometimes use the terms "accessible" and "inaccessible" to
          mean that something has an accessibility level that is not
          deeper, or deeper, respectively, than something else.

23.u/2
          Implementation Note: {<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>}
          {<AI95-00344-01AI95-00344-01>} {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>}
          If an accessibility Legality Rule is satisfied, then the
          corresponding run-time check (if any) cannot fail (and a
          reasonable implementation will not generate any checking code)
          unless one of the cases requiring run-time checks mentioned
          previously is involved.

23.v
          Accessibility levels are defined in terms of the relations
          "the same as" and "deeper than".  To make the discussion more
          concrete, we can assign actual numbers to each level.  Here,
          we assume that library-level accessibility is level 0, and
          each level defined as "deeper than" is one level deeper.
          Thus, a subprogram directly called from the environment task
          (such as the main subprogram) would be at level 1, and so on.

23.w/2
          Accessibility is not enforced at compile time for access
          parameters of an access-to-object type.  The "obvious"
          implementation of the run-time checks would be inefficient,
          and would involve distributed overhead; therefore, an
          efficient method is given below.  The "obvious" implementation
          would be to pass the level of the caller at each subprogram
          call, task creation, etc.  This level would be incremented by
          1 for each dynamically nested master.  An Accessibility_Check
          would be implemented as a simple comparison -- checking that X
          is not deeper than Y would involve checking that X <= Y.

23.x
          A more efficient method is based on passing <static> nesting
          levels (within constructs that correspond at run time to
          masters -- packages don't count).  Whenever an access
          parameter is passed, an implicit extra parameter is passed
          with it.  The extra parameter represents (in an indirect way)
          the accessibility level of the anonymous access type, and,
          therefore, the level of the view denoted by a dereference of
          the access parameter.  This is analogous to the implicit
          "Constrained" bit associated with certain formal parameters of
          an unconstrained but definite composite subtype.  In this
          method, we avoid distributed overhead: it is not necessary to
          pass any extra information to subprograms that have no access
          parameters.  For anything other than an access parameter and
          its anonymous type, the static nesting level is known at
          compile time, and is defined analogously to the RM95
          definition of accessibility level (e.g.  derived access types
          get their nesting level from their parent).  Checking "not
          deeper than" is a "<=" test on the levels.

23.y/2
          For each access parameter of an access-to-object type, the
          static depth passed depends on the actual, as follows:

23.z
             * If the actual is an expression of a named access type,
               pass the static nesting level of that type.

23.aa
             * If the actual is an allocator, pass the static nesting
               level of the caller, plus one.

23.bb/1
             * If the actual is a reference to the Access attribute,
               pass the level of the view denoted by the prefix.

23.cc
             * If the actual is a reference to the Unchecked_Access
               attribute, pass 0 (the library accessibility level).

23.dd/2
             * If the actual is an access parameter of an
               access-to-object type, usually just pass along the level
               passed in.  However, if the static nesting level of the
               formal (access) parameter is greater than the static
               nesting level of the actual (access) parameter, the level
               to be passed is the minimum of the static nesting level
               of the access parameter and the actual level passed in.

23.ee/2
          For the Accessibility_Check associated with a type_conversion
          of an access parameter of an access-to-object type of a given
          subprogram to a named access type, if the target type is
          statically nested within the subprogram, do nothing; the check
          can't fail in this case.  Otherwise, check that the value
          passed in is <= the static nesting depth of the target type.
          The other Accessibility_Checks are handled in a similar
          manner.

23.ff
          This method, using statically known values most of the time,
          is efficient, and, more importantly, avoids distributed
          overhead.

23.ff.1/3
          {<AI05-0148-1AI05-0148-1>} The implementation of accessibility
          checks for stand-alone objects of anonymous access-to-object
          types can be similar to that for anonymous access-to-object
          parameters.  A static level suffices; it can be calculated
          using rules similar to those previously described for access
          parameters.

23.ff.2/3
          {<AI05-0148-1AI05-0148-1>} One important difference between
          the stand-alone access variables and access parameters is that
          one can assign a local access parameter to a more global
          stand-alone access variable.  Similarly, one can assign a more
          global access parameter to a more local stand-alone access
          variable.

23.ff.3/3
          {<AI05-0148-1AI05-0148-1>} For these cases, it is important to
          note that the "correct" static accessibility level for an
          access parameter assigned to a stand-alone access object is
          the minimum of the passed in level and the static
          accessibility level of the stand-alone object itself.  This is
          true since the static accessibility level passed in might be
          deeper than that of the stand-alone object, but the dynamic
          accessibility of the passed in object clearly must be
          shallower than the stand-alone object (whatever is passed in
          must live at least as long as the subprogram call).  We do not
          need to keep a more local static level as accesses to objects
          statically deeper than the stand-alone object cannot be stored
          into the stand-alone object.

23.gg
          Discussion: Examples of accessibility:

23.hh/3
               {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} package body Lib_Unit is
                   type T is tagged ...;
                   type A0 is access all T;
                   Global: A0 := ...;
                   procedure P(X: in out T) is
                       Y: aliased T;
                       type A1 is access all T;
                       Ptr0: A0 := Global; --< OK.>
                       Ptr1: A1 := X'Access; --< OK.>
                   begin
                       Ptr1 := Y'Access; --< OK;>
                       Ptr0 := A0(Ptr1); --< Illegal type conversion!>
                       Ptr0 := X'Access; --< Illegal reference to Access attribute!>
                       Ptr0 := Y'Access; --< Illegal reference to Access attribute!>
                       Global := Ptr0; --< OK.>
                   end P;
               end Lib_Unit;

23.ii/3
          {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} The above illegal statements are
          illegal because the accessibility levels of X and Y are
          statically deeper than the accessibility level of A0.  In
          every possible execution of any program including this library
          unit, if P is called, the accessibility level of X will be
          (dynamically) deeper than that of A0.  Note that the
          accessibility levels of X and Y are the same.

23.jj/2
          Here's an example involving access parameters of an
          access-to-object type:

23.kk
               procedure Main is
                   type Level_1_Type is access all Integer;

23.ll
                   procedure P(X: access Integer) is
                       type Nested_Type is access all Integer;
                   begin
                       ... Nested_Type(X) ... --< (1)>
                       ... Level_1_Type(X) ... --< (2)>
                   end P;

23.mm
                   procedure Q(X: access Integer) is
                       procedure Nested(X: access Integer) is
                       begin
                           P(X);
                       end Nested;
                   begin
                       Nested(X);
                   end Q;

23.nn
                   procedure R is
                       Level_2: aliased Integer;
                   begin
                       Q(Level_2'Access); --< (3)>
                   end R;

23.oo
                   Level_1: aliased Integer;
               begin
                   Q(Level_1'Access); --< (4)>
                   R;
               end Main;

23.pp
          The run-time Accessibility_Check at (1) can never fail, and no
          code should be generated to check it.  The check at (2) will
          fail when called from (3), but not when called from (4).

23.qq
          Within a type_declaration, the rules are checked in an
          assume-the-worst manner.  For example:

23.rr/3
               {<AI05-0298-1AI05-0298-1>} package P is
                   type Int_Ptr is access all Integer;
                   type Rec(D: access Integer) is limited private;
               private
                   type Rec_Ptr is access all Rec;
                   function F(X: Rec_Ptr) return Boolean;
                   function G(X: access Rec) return Boolean;
                   type Rec(D: access Integer) is
                       limited record
                           C1: Int_Ptr := Int_Ptr(D); --< Illegal!>
                           C2: Rec_Ptr := Rec'Access; --< Illegal!>
                           C3: Boolean := F(Rec'Access); --< Illegal!>
                           C4: Boolean := G(Rec'Access);
                       end record;
               end P;

23.ss
          C1, C2, and C3 are all illegal, because one might declare an
          object of type Rec at a more deeply nested place than the
          declaration of the type.  C4 is legal, but the accessibility
          level of the object will be passed to function G, and
          constraint checks within G will prevent it from doing any evil
          deeds.

23.tt
          Note that we cannot defer the checks on C1, C2, and C3 until
          compile-time of the object creation, because that would cause
          violation of the privacy of private parts.  Furthermore, the
          problems might occur within a task or protected body, which
          the compiler can't see while compiling an object creation.

24
The following attribute is defined for a prefix X that denotes an
aliased view of an object:

25/1
X'Access
               {<8652/00108652/0010>} {<AI95-00127-01AI95-00127-01>}
               X'Access yields an access value that designates the
               object denoted by X. The type of X'Access is an
               access-to-object type, as determined by the expected
               type.  The expected type shall be a general access type.               X shall denote an aliased view of an object[, including
               possibly the current instance (see *note 8.6::) of a
               limited type within its definition, or a formal parameter
               or generic formal object of a tagged type].  The view
               denoted by the prefix X shall satisfy the following
               additional requirements, presuming the expected type for
               X'Access is the general access type <A> with designated
               type <D>:

26
                  * If <A> is an access-to-variable type, then the view
                    shall be a variable; [on the other hand, if <A> is
                    an access-to-constant type, the view may be either a
                    constant or a variable.]

26.a
          Discussion: The current instance of a limited type is
          considered a variable.

27/3
                  * {<AI95-00363-01AI95-00363-01>}
                    {<AI05-0008-1AI05-0008-1>}
                    {<AI05-0041-1AI05-0041-1>} The view shall not be a
                    subcomponent that depends on discriminants of an
                    object unless the object is known to be constrained.

27.a
          Discussion: This restriction is intended to be similar to the
          restriction on renaming discriminant-dependent subcomponents.

27.b
          Reason: This prevents references to subcomponents that might
          disappear or move or change constraints after creating the
          reference.

27.c
          Implementation Note: There was some thought to making this
          restriction more stringent, roughly: "X shall not denote a
          subcomponent of a variable with discriminant-dependent
          subcomponents, if the nominal subtype of the variable is an
          unconstrained definite subtype."  This was because in some
          implementations, it is not just the discriminant-dependent
          subcomponents that might move as the result of an assignment
          that changed the discriminants of the enclosing object.
          However, it was decided not to make this change because a
          reasonable implementation strategy was identified to avoid
          such problems, as follows:

27.d
             * Place non-discriminant-dependent components with any
               aliased parts at offsets preceding any
               discriminant-dependent components in a discriminated
               record type with defaulted discriminants.

27.e
             * Preallocate the maximum space for unconstrained
               discriminated variables with aliased subcomponents,
               rather than allocating the initial size and moving them
               to a larger (heap-resident) place if they grow as the
               result of an assignment.

27.f
          Note that for objects of a by-reference type, it is not an
          error for a programmer to take advantage of the fact that such
          objects are passed by reference.  Therefore, the above
          approach is also necessary for discriminated record types with
          components of a by-reference type.

27.g
          To make the above strategy work, it is important that a
          component of a derived type is defined to be
          discriminant-dependent if it is inherited and the parent
          subtype constraint is defined in terms of a discriminant of
          the derived type (see *note 3.7::).

                    {<AI95-00363-01AI95-00363-01>} If <A> is a named
                    access type and <D> is a tagged type, then the type
                    of the view shall be covered by <D>; if <A> is
                    anonymous and <D> is tagged, then the type of the
                    view shall be either <D>'Class or a type covered by
                    <D>; if <D> is untagged, then the type of the view
                    shall be <D>, and either:

                              match the nominal subtype of the view; or

28.2/4
                            * {<AI95-00363-01AI95-00363-01>}

                              {<AI12-0095-1AI12-0095-1>} <D> shall be
                              discriminated in its full view and
                              unconstrained in any partial view, and the
                              designated subtype of <A> shall be
                              unconstrained.

28.a
          Implementation Note: This ensures that the dope for an aliased
          array object can always be stored contiguous with it, but need
          not be if its nominal subtype is constrained.

28.a.1/1
          Ramification: {<8652/00108652/0010>}
          {<AI95-00127-01AI95-00127-01>} An access attribute can be used
          as the controlling operand in a dispatching call; see *note
          3.9.2::.

28.a.2/2
          {<AI95-00363-01AI95-00363-01>} This does not require that
          types have a partial view in order to allow an access
          attribute of an unconstrained discriminated object, only that
          any partial view that does exist is unconstrained.

28.a.3/4
          Discussion: {<AI12-0095-1AI12-0095-1>} We assume the worst in
          a generic body whether or not a formal subtype has a
          constrained partial view; specifically, in a generic body a
          discriminated subtype is considered to have a constrained
          partial view if it is a descendant of an untagged generic
          formal private or derived type (see *note 12.5.1:: for the
          formal definition of this rule).

29/3
                  * {<AI05-0041-1AI05-0041-1>} The accessibility level
                    of the view shall not be statically deeper than that
                    of the access type <A>.  

29.a
          Ramification: In an instance body, a run-time check applies.

29.b/2
          {<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} If <A> is an anonymous
          access-to-object type of an access parameter, then the view
          can never have a deeper accessibility level than <A>.  The
          same is true for an anonymous access-to-object type of an
          access discriminant, except when X'Access is used to
          initialize an access discriminant of an object created by an
          allocator.  The latter case is illegal if the accessibility
          level of X is statically deeper than that of the access type
          of the allocator; a run-time check is needed in the case where
          the initial value comes from an access parameter.  Other
          anonymous access-to-object types have "normal" accessibility
          checks.

29.1/3
               {<AI05-0041-1AI05-0041-1>} In addition to the places
               where Legality Rules normally apply (see *note 12.3::),
               these requirements apply also in the private part of an
               instance of a generic unit.

30
               A check is made that the accessibility level of X is not
               deeper than that of the access type <A>.  If this check
               fails, Program_Error is raised.

30.a/2
          Ramification: The check is needed for access parameters of an
          access-to-object type and in instance bodies.

30.a.1/3
          {<AI05-0024-1AI05-0024-1>} Because there are no access
          parameters permitted for task entries, the accessibility
          levels are always comparable.  We would have to switch to the
          terminology used in *note 4.8:: and *note 6.5:: based on
          inclusion within masters if we relax this restriction.  That
          might introduce unacceptable distributed overhead.

30.b/3
          Implementation Note: {<AI05-0148-1AI05-0148-1>} This check
          requires that some indication of lifetime is passed as an
          implicit parameter along with access parameters of an
          access-to-object type.  A similar indication is required for
          stand-alone objects of anonymous access-to-object types.No
          such requirement applies to other anonymous access types,
          since the checks associated with them are all compile-time
          checks.

31
               If the nominal subtype of X does not statically match the
               designated subtype of <A>, a view conversion of X to the
               designated subtype is evaluated (which might raise
               Constraint_Error -- see *note 4.6::) and the value of
               X'Access designates that view.

32
The following attribute is defined for a prefix P that denotes a
subprogram:

33/3
P'Access
               {<AI95-00229-01AI95-00229-01>}
               {<AI95-00254-01AI95-00254-01>} {<AI05-0239-1AI05-0239-1>}
               P'Access yields an access value that designates the
               subprogram denoted by P. The type of P'Access is an
               access-to-subprogram type (<S>), as determined by the
               expected type.  The accessibility level of P shall not be
               statically deeper than that of <S>.  In addition to the
               places where Legality Rules normally apply (see *note
               12.3::), this rule applies also in the private part of an
               instance of a generic unit.  The profile of P shall be
               subtype conformant with the designated profile of <S>,
               and shall not be Intrinsic.  If the subprogram denoted by
               P is declared within a generic unit, and the expression
               P'Access occurs within the body of that generic unit or
               within the body of a generic unit declared within the
               declarative region of the generic unit, then the ultimate
               ancestor of <S> shall be either a nonformal type declared
               within the generic unit or an anonymous access type of an
               access parameter.

33.a/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00229-01AI95-00229-01>} The part about
          generic bodies is worded in terms of the denoted subprogram,
          not the denoted view; this implies that renaming is invisible
          to this part of the rule.  "Declared within the declarative
          region of the generic" is referring to child and nested
          generic units.  This rule is partly to prevent contract model
          problems with respect to the accessibility rules, and partly
          to ease shared-generic-body implementations, in which a
          subprogram declared in an instance needs to have a different
          calling convention from other subprograms with the same
          profile.

33.b
          Overload resolution ensures only that the profile is type
          conformant.  This rule specifies that subtype conformance is
          required (which also requires matching calling conventions).
          P cannot denote an entry because access-to-subprogram types
          never have the <entry> calling convention.  P cannot denote an
          enumeration literal or an attribute function because these
          have intrinsic calling conventions.

                           _Legality Rules_

33.1/3
{<AI05-0188-1AI05-0188-1>} An expression is said to have <distributed
accessibility> if it is

33.2/3
   * a conditional_expression (see *note 4.5.7::); or

33.3/3
   * a view conversion, qualified_expression, or parenthesized
     expression whose operand has distributed accessibility.

33.4/3
{<AI05-0188-1AI05-0188-1>} The statically deeper relationship does not
apply to the accessibility level of an expression having distributed
accessibility; that is, such an accessibility level is not considered to
be statically deeper, nor statically shallower, than any other.

33.5/3
{<AI05-0188-1AI05-0188-1>} Any static accessibility requirement that is
imposed on an expression that has distributed accessibility (or on its
type) is instead imposed on the <dependent_>expressions of the
underlying conditional_expression.  This rule is applied recursively if
a <dependent_>expression also has distributed accessibility.

33.c/3
          Discussion: This means that any Legality Rule requiring that
          the accessibility level of an expression (or that of the type
          of an expression) shall or shall not be statically deeper than
          some other level also applies, in the case where the
          expression has distributed accessibility, to each
          <dependent_>expression of the underlying
          conditional_expression.

     NOTES

34
     91  The Unchecked_Access attribute yields the same result as the
     Access attribute for objects, but has fewer restrictions (see *note
     13.10::).  There are other predefined operations that yield access
     values: an allocator can be used to create an object, and return an
     access value that designates it (see *note 4.8::); evaluating the
     literal null yields a null access value that designates no entity
     at all (see *note 4.2::).

35/2
     92  {<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} The predefined operations of an
     access type also include the assignment operation, qualification,
     and membership tests.  Explicit conversion is allowed between
     general access types with matching designated subtypes; explicit
     conversion is allowed between access-to-subprogram types with
     subtype conformant profiles (see *note 4.6::).  Named access types
     have predefined equality operators; anonymous access types do not,
     but they can use the predefined equality operators for
     <universal_access> (see *note 4.5.2::).

35.a/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} Anonymous access types
          can use the universal access equality operators declared in
          Standard, while named access types cannot for compatibility
          reasons.  By not having equality operators for anonymous
          access types, we eliminate the need to specify exactly where
          the predefined operators for anonymous access types would be
          defined, as well as the need for an implementer to insert an
          implicit declaration for "=", etc.  at the appropriate place
          in their symbol table.  Note that ":=", 'Access, and ".all"
          are defined.

36
     93  The object or subprogram designated by an access value can be
     named with a dereference, either an explicit_dereference (*note
     4.1: S0094.) or an implicit_dereference.  See *note 4.1::.

37
     94  A call through the dereference of an access-to-subprogram value
     is never a dispatching call.

37.a
          Proof: See *note 3.9.2::.

38/2
     95  {<AI95-00254-01AI95-00254-01>} The Access attribute for
     subprograms and parameters of an anonymous access-to-subprogram
     type may together be used to implement "downward closures" -- that
     is, to pass a more-nested subprogram as a parameter to a
     less-nested subprogram, as might be appropriate for an iterator
     abstraction or numerical integration.  Downward closures can also
     be implemented using generic formal subprograms (see *note 12.6::).
     Note that Unchecked_Access is not allowed for subprograms.

39
     96  Note that using an access-to-class-wide tagged type with a
     dispatching operation is a potentially more structured alternative
     to using an access-to-subprogram type.

40
     97  An implementation may consider two access-to-subprogram values
     to be unequal, even though they designate the same subprogram.
     This might be because one points directly to the subprogram, while
     the other points to a special prologue that performs an
     Elaboration_Check and then jumps to the subprogram.  See *note
     4.5.2::.

40.a
          Ramification: If equality of access-to-subprogram values is
          important to the logic of a program, a reference to the Access
          attribute of a subprogram should be evaluated only once and
          stored in a global constant for subsequent use and equality
          comparison.

                              _Examples_

41
<Example of use of the Access attribute:>

42
     Martha : Person_Name := new Person(F);       --< see *note 3.10.1::>
     Cars   : array (1..2) of aliased Car;
        ...
     Martha.Vehicle := Cars(1)'Access;
     George.Vehicle := Cars(2)'Access;

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

42.a
          We no longer make things like 'Last and ".component" (basic)
          operations of an access type that need to be "declared"
          somewhere.  Instead, implicit dereference in a prefix takes
          care of them all.  This means that there should never be a
          case when X.all'Last is legal while X'Last is not.  See
          AI83-00154.

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 95_

42.b/2
          {<AI95-00363-01AI95-00363-01>}  Aliased variables are not
          necessarily constrained in Ada 2005 (see *note 3.6::).
          Therefore, a subcomponent of an aliased variable may disappear
          or change shape, and taking 'Access of such a subcomponent
          thus is illegal, while the same operation would have been
          legal in Ada 95.  Note that most allocated objects are still
          constrained by their initial value (see *note 4.8::), and thus
          legality of 'Access didn't change for them.  For example:

42.c/2
               type T1 (D1 : Boolean := False) is
                  record
                     case D1 is
                        when False =>
                           C1 : aliased Integer;
                        when True =>
                           null;
                     end case;
                  end record;
               type Acc_Int is access all Integer;

42.d/2
               A_T : aliased T1;
               Ptr : Acc_Int := A_T.C1'Access; -- <Illegal in Ada 2005, legal in Ada 95>
               A_T := (D1 => True);            -- <Raised Constraint_Error in Ada 95, but does not>
                                               -- <in Ada 2005, so Ptr would become invalid when this>
                                               -- <is assigned (thus Ptr is illegal).>

42.e/2
          {<AI95-00363-01AI95-00363-01>} If a discriminated full type
          has a partial view (private type) that is constrained, we do
          not allow 'Access on objects to create a value of an object of
          an access-to-unconstrained type.  Ada 95 allowed this
          attribute and various access subtypes, requiring that the heap
          object be constrained and thus making details of the
          implementation of the private type visible to the client of
          the private type.  See *note 4.8:: for more on this topic.

42.f/2
          {<AI95-00229-01AI95-00229-01>} {<AI95-00254-01AI95-00254-01>}
          Amendment Correction: Taking 'Access of a subprogram declared
          in a generic unit in the body of that generic is no longer
          allowed.  Such references can easily be used to create
          dangling pointers, as Legality Rules are not rechecked in
          instance bodies.  At the same time, the rules were loosened a
          bit where that is harmless, and also to allow any routine to
          be passed to an access parameter of an access-to-subprogram
          type.  The now illegal uses of 'Access can almost always be
          moved to the private part of the generic unit, where they are
          still legal (and rechecked upon instantiation for possibly
          dangling pointers).

42.g/2
          {<8652/00108652/0010>} {<AI95-00127-01AI95-00127-01>}
          Corrigendum: Access attributes of objects of class-wide types
          can be used as the controlling parameter in a dispatching
          calls (see *note 3.9.2::).  This was an oversight in Ada 95.

42.h/2
          {<AI95-00235-01AI95-00235-01>} Amendment Correction: The type
          of the prefix can now be used in resolving Access attributes.
          This allows more uses of the Access attribute to resolve.  For
          example:

42.i/2
               type Int_Ptr is access all Integer;
               type Float_Ptr is access all Float;

42.j/2
               function Zap (Val : Int_Ptr) return Float;
               function Zap (Val : Float_Ptr) return Float;

42.k/2
               Value : aliased Integer := 10;

42.l/2
               Result1 : Float := Zap (Value'access); -- <Ambiguous in Ada 95; resolves in Ada 2005.>
               Result2 : Float := Zap (Int_Ptr'(Value'access)); -- <Resolves in Ada 95 and Ada 2005.>

42.m/2
          This change is upward compatible; any expression that does not
          resolve by the new rules would have failed a Legality Rule.

          {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>} Defined the accessibility of
          the various new kinds and uses of anonymous access types.

                   _Incompatibilities With Ada 2005_

42.p/3
          {<AI05-0008-1AI05-0008-1>} Correction: Simplified the
          description of when a discriminant-dependent component is
          allowed as the prefix of 'Access to when the object is known
          to be constrained.  This fixes a confusion as to whether a
          subcomponent of an object that is not certain to be
          constrained can be used as a prefix of 'Access.  The fix
          introduces an incompatibility, as the rule did not apply in
          Ada 95 if the prefix was a constant; but it now applies no
          matter what kind of object is involved.  The incompatibility
          is not too bad, since most kinds of constants are known to be
          constrained.

42.q/3
          {<AI05-0041-1AI05-0041-1>} Correction: Corrected the checks
          for the constrainedness of the prefix of the Access attribute
          so that assume-the-worst is used in generic bodies.  This may
          make some programs illegal, but those programs were at risk
          having objects disappear while valid access values still
          pointed at them.

                       _Extensions to Ada 2005_

42.r/3
          {<AI05-0082-1AI05-0082-1>} Correction: Eliminated the static
          accessibility definition for generic formal types, as the
          actual can be more or less nested than the generic itself.
          This allows programs that were illegal for Ada 95 and for Ada
          2005.

42.s/3
          {<AI05-0148-1AI05-0148-1>} {<AI05-0253-1AI05-0253-1>}
          Eliminate the static accessibility definition for stand-alone
          objects of anonymous access-to-object types.  This allows such
          objects to be used as temporaries without causing
          accessibility problems.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

42.t/3
          {<AI05-0014-1AI05-0014-1>} Correction: Corrected the rules so
          that the accessibility of the object designated by an access
          object is that of the access type, even when no dereference is
          given.  The accessibility was not specified in the past.  This
          correction applies to both Ada 95 and Ada 2005.

42.u/3
          {<AI05-0024-1AI05-0024-1>} Correction: Corrected accessibility
          rules for access discriminants so that no cases are omitted.

          Correction: Corrected accessibility rules for anonymous access
          return types and access discriminants in return statements.

42.w/3
          {<AI05-0066-1AI05-0066-1>} Correction: Changed coextension
          rules so that coextensions that belong to an anonymous object
          are transfered to the ultimate object.

42.x/3
          {<AI05-0142-4AI05-0142-4>} {<AI05-0188-1AI05-0188-1>}
          {<AI05-0235-1AI05-0235-1>} Defined the accessibility of
          explicitly aliased parameters (see *note 6.1::) and
          conditional_expressions (see *note 4.5.7::).

42.y/3
          {<AI05-0234-1AI05-0234-1>} Correction: Defined the term
          "master of the call" to simplify other wording, especially
          that for the accessibility checks associated with return
          statements and explicitly aliased parameters.

42.z/3
          {<AI05-0270-1AI05-0270-1>} Correction: Defined the (omitted)
          accessibility level of null values when those are passed as
          the actual of an access-to-object parameter.

42.aa/4
          {<AI12-0027-1AI12-0027-1>} Corrigendum: Defined the
          accessibility of a value conversion, so that it is treated
          like an aggregate built at the point of the conversion.  This
          was previously unspecified, so this change might be
          incompatible if an Ada implementation treated the
          accessibility of such conversions as that of the operand type;
          in that case, previous legal conversions probably will become
          illegal as the lifetime of the conversion is very short.
          However, code that could tell this difference is fairly rare
          (taking 'Access of a component of a result of a type
          conversion), code depending on this accessibility was not
          portable, and such code could have created an immediately
          dangling pointer if the conversion actually made a copy (which
          is necessary in some instances).

42.bb/4
          {<AI12-0067-1AI12-0067-1>} Corrigendum: Corrected so that it
          is clear that explicitly aliased parameters in procedures have
          the same accessibility as other parameters.  Only explicitly
          aliased parameters in functions are special.

42.cc/4
          {<AI12-0070-1AI12-0070-1>} Corrigendum: The accessibility of
          an anonymous access type of an extended_return_statement is
          defined here rather than in *note 6.5:: so that all
          accessibility rules are here.

42.dd/4
          {<AI12-0089-1AI12-0089-1>} Corrigendum: Corrected a number of
          rules so that they clearly apply to generic functions as well
          as functions.  (Remember, a generic function is not a
          function.)

42.ee/4
          {<AI12-0095-1AI12-0095-1>} Corrigendum: Moved the assume the
          worst rule about constrainedness of the prefix of attribute
          Access to *note 12.5.1::, as a number of places in the

          {<AI12-0157-1AI12-0157-1>} Corrigendum: Ensured that the
          statically deeper relationship applies within the return
          expression of an expression function.  (Dynamic properties
          apply by equivalence, but static properties are handled
          separately.)

3.11 Declarative Parts
======================

1
[A declarative_part contains declarative_items (possibly none).]

                               _Syntax_

2
     declarative_part ::= {declarative_item}

3
     declarative_item ::=
         basic_declarative_item | body

4/1
     {<8652/00098652/0009>} {<AI95-00137-01AI95-00137-01>}
     basic_declarative_item ::=
         basic_declaration | aspect_clause | use_clause

5
     body ::= proper_body | body_stub

6
     proper_body ::=
         subprogram_body | package_body | task_body | protected_body

                          _Static Semantics_

6.1/2
{<AI95-00420-01AI95-00420-01>} The list of declarative_items of a
declarative_part is called the <declaration list> of the
declarative_part.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

7
The elaboration of a declarative_part consists of the elaboration of the
declarative_items, if any, in the order in which they are given in the
declarative_part.

8
An elaborable construct is in the <elaborated> state after the normal
completion of its elaboration.  Prior to that, it is <not yet
elaborated>.

8.a
          Ramification: The elaborated state is only important for
          bodies; certain uses of a body raise an exception if the body
          is not yet elaborated.

8.b
          Note that "prior" implies before the start of elaboration, as
          well as during elaboration.

8.c
          The use of the term "normal completion" implies that if the
          elaboration propagates an exception or is aborted, the
          declaration is not elaborated.  RM83 missed the aborted case.

9
For a construct that attempts to use a body, a check (Elaboration_Check)
is performed, as follows:

10/1
   * {<8652/00148652/0014>} {<AI95-00064-01AI95-00064-01>} For a call to
     a (non-protected) subprogram that has an explicit body, a check is
     made that the body is already elaborated.  This check and the
     evaluations of any actual parameters of the call are done in an
     arbitrary order.

10.a
          Discussion: AI83-00180 specifies that there is no elaboration
          check for a subprogram defined by a pragma Interface (or
          equivalently, pragma Import).  AI83-00430 specifies that there
          is no elaboration check for an enumeration literal.
          AI83-00406 specifies that the evaluation of parameters and the
          elaboration check occur in an arbitrary order.  AI83-00406
          applies to generic instantiation as well (see below).

10.a.1/3
          {<8652/00148652/0014>} {<AI95-00064-01AI95-00064-01>}
          {<AI05-0177-1AI05-0177-1>} A subprogram can be completed by a
          renaming-as-body, a null_procedure_declaration, or an
          expression_function_declaration, and we need to make an
          elaboration check on such a body, so we use "body" rather than
          subprogram_body above.

11/3
   * {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} For a call to a protected operation of a
     protected type (that has a body -- no check is performed if the
     protected type is imported -- see *note B.1::), a check is made
     that the protected_body is already elaborated.  This check and the
     evaluations of any actual parameters of the call are done in an
     arbitrary order.

11.a
          Discussion: A protected type has only one elaboration "bit,"
          rather than one for each operation, because one call may
          result in evaluating the barriers of other entries, and
          because there are no elaborable declarations between the
          bodies of the operations.  In fact, the elaboration of a
          protected_body does not elaborate the enclosed bodies, since
          they are not considered independently elaborable.

11.b
          Note that there is no elaboration check when calling a task
          entry.  Task entry calls are permitted even before the
          associated task_body has been seen.  Such calls are simply
          queued until the task is activated and reaches a corresponding
          accept_statement.  We considered a similar rule for protected
          entries -- simply queuing all calls until the protected_body
          was seen, but felt it was not worth the possible
          implementation overhead, particularly given that there might
          be multiple instances of the protected type.

12
   * For the activation of a task, a check is made by the activator that
     the task_body is already elaborated.  If two or more tasks are
     being activated together (see *note 9.2::), as the result of the
     elaboration of a declarative_part or the initialization for the
     object created by an allocator, this check is done for all of them
     before activating any of them.

12.a
          Reason: As specified by AI83-00149, the check is done by the
          activator, rather than by the task itself.  If it were done by
          the task itself, it would be turned into a Tasking_Error in
          the activator, and the other tasks would still be activated.

13
   * For the instantiation of a generic unit that has a body, a check is
     made that this body is already elaborated.  This check and the
     evaluation of any explicit_generic_actual_parameters of the
     instantiation are done in an arbitrary order.

14
The exception Program_Error is raised if any of these checks fails.

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

14.a/2
          {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} The syntax for declarative_part
          is modified to remove the ordering restrictions of Ada 83;
          that is, the distinction between basic_declarative_items and
          later_declarative_items within declarative_parts is removed.
          This means that things like use_clauses and
          object_declarations can be freely intermixed with things like
          bodies.

14.b
          The syntax rule for proper_body now allows a protected_body,
          and the rules for elaboration checks now cover calls on
          protected operations.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

14.c
          The syntax rule for later_declarative_item is removed; the
          syntax rule for declarative_item is new.

14.d
          RM83 defines "elaborated" and "not yet elaborated" for
          declarative_items here, and for other things in *note 3.1::,
          "*note 3.1:: Declarations".  That's no longer necessary, since
          these terms are fully defined in *note 3.1::.

14.e
          In RM83, all uses of declarative_part are optional (except for
          the one in block_statement with a declare) which is sort of
          strange, since a declarative_part can be empty, according to
          the syntax.  That is, declarative_parts are sort of "doubly
          optional".  In Ada 95, these declarative_parts are always
          required (but can still be empty).  To simplify description,
          we go further and say (see *note 5.6::, "*note 5.6:: Block
          Statements") that a block_statement without an explicit
          declarative_part is equivalent to one with an empty one.

          {<8652/00098652/0009>} {<AI95-00137-01AI95-00137-01>}
          Corrigendum: Changed representation clauses to aspect clauses
          to reflect that they are used for more than just
          representation.

14.g/2
          {<8652/00148652/0014>} {<AI95-00064-01AI95-00064-01>}
          Corrigendum: Clarified that the elaboration check applies to
          all kinds of subprogram bodies.

14.h/2
          {<AI95-00420-01AI95-00420-01>} Defined "declaration list" to
          avoid confusion for various rules.  Other kinds of declaration
          list are defined elsewhere.

3.11.1 Completions of Declarations
----------------------------------

1/3
{<8652/00148652/0014>} {<AI95-00064-01AI95-00064-01>}
{<AI05-0177-1AI05-0177-1>} Declarations sometimes come in two parts.  A
declaration that requires a second part is said to <require completion>.
The second part is called the <completion> of the declaration (and of
the entity declared), and is either another declaration, a body, or a
pragma.  A <body> is a body, an entry_body, a null_procedure_declaration
or an expression_function_declaration that completes another
declaration, or a renaming-as-body (see *note 8.5.4::).

1.a
          Discussion: Throughout the RM95, there are rules about
          completions that define the following:

1.b
             * Which declarations require a corresponding completion.

1.c
             * Which constructs can only serve as the completion of a
               declaration.

1.d
             * Where the completion of a declaration is allowed to be.

1.e
             * What kinds of completions are allowed to correspond to
               each kind of declaration that allows one.

1.f
          Don't confuse this compile-time concept with the run-time
          concept of completion defined in *note 7.6.1::.

1.g
          Note that the declaration of a private type (if limited) can
          be completed with the declaration of a task type, which is
          then completed with a body.  Thus, a declaration can actually
          come in <three> parts.

1.h/3
          {<AI95-00217-06AI95-00217-06>} {<AI05-0162-1AI05-0162-1>} An
          incomplete type (whether declared in the limited view of a
          package or not) may be completed by a private type
          declaration, so we can in fact have <four> parts.

1.i/3
          {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} In Ada 2012, there are no
          language-defined pragmas that act as completions.  Pragma
          Import (which is obsolescent) has the effect of setting aspect
          Import to True; such an aspect makes giving a completion
          illegal.  The wording that allows pragmas as completions was
          left as it is harmless and appears in many places in this
          Standard.

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

2
A construct that can be a completion is interpreted as the completion of
a prior declaration only if:

3
   * The declaration and the completion occur immediately within the
     same declarative region;

4
   * The defining name or defining_program_unit_name in the completion
     is the same as in the declaration, or in the case of a pragma, the
     pragma applies to the declaration;

5
   * If the declaration is overloadable, then the completion either has
     a type-conformant profile, or is a pragma.  

                           _Legality Rules_

6/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} An implicit declaration shall not have a
completion.  For any explicit declaration that is specified to <require
completion>, there shall be a corresponding explicit completion, unless
the declared entity is imported (see *note B.1::).

6.a.1/2
          To be honest: {<AI95-00217-06AI95-00217-06>} The implicit
          declarations occurring in a limited view do have a completion
          (the explicit declaration occurring in the full view) but
          that's a special case, since the implicit declarations are
          actually built from the explicit ones.  So they do not
          <require> a completion, they have one by <fiat>.

6.a/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} The implicit
          declarations of predefined operators are not allowed to have a
          completion.  Enumeration literals, although they are
          subprograms, are not allowed to have a corresponding
          subprogram_body.  That's because the completion rules are
          described in terms of constructs (subprogram_declarations) and
          not entities (subprograms).  When a completion is required, it
          has to be explicit; the implicit null package_body that Clause
          *note 7:: talks about cannot serve as the completion of a
          package_declaration if a completion is required.

7
At most one completion is allowed for a given declaration.  Additional
requirements on completions appear where each kind of completion is
defined.

7.a
          Ramification: A subunit is not a completion; the stub is.

7.b
          If the completion of a declaration is also a declaration, then
          <that> declaration might have a completion, too.  For example,
          a limited private type can be completed with a task type,
          which can then be completed with a task body.  This is not a
          violation of the "at most one completion" rule.

8
A type is <completely defined> at a place that is after its full type
definition (if it has one) and after all of its subcomponent types are
completely defined.  A type shall be completely defined before it is
frozen (see *note 13.14:: and *note 7.3::).

8.a
          Reason: Index types are always completely defined -- no need
          to mention them.  There is no way for a completely defined
          type to depend on the value of a (still) deferred constant.

     NOTES

9/3
     98  {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} Completions are in principle allowed
     for any kind of explicit declaration.  However, for some kinds of
     declaration, the only allowed completion is an
     implementation-defined pragma, and implementations are not required
     to have any such pragmas.

9.a/3
          <This paragraph was deleted.>{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>}

10
     99  There are rules that prevent premature uses of declarations
     that have a corresponding completion.  The Elaboration_Checks of
     *note 3.11:: prevent such uses at run time for subprograms,
     protected operations, tasks, and generic units.  The rules of *note
     13.14::, "*note 13.14:: Freezing Rules" prevent, at compile time,
     premature uses of other entities such as private types and deferred
     constants.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

10.a
          This subclause is new.  It is intended to cover all kinds of
          completions of declarations, be they a body for a spec, a full
          type for an incomplete or private type, a full constant
          declaration for a deferred constant declaration, or a pragma
          Import for any kind of entity.

          Corrigendum: Added a definition of <body>, which is different
          than body or body.

10.c/3
          {<AI95-0177-1AI95-0177-1>} Added null procedures and
          expression functions that are completions to the definition of
          <body>.

4.1 Names
=========

1
[Names can denote declared entities, whether declared explicitly or
implicitly (see *note 3.1::).  Names can also denote objects or
subprograms designated by access values; the results of type_conversions
or function_calls; subcomponents and slices of objects and values;
protected subprograms, single entries, entry families, and entries in
families of entries.  Finally, names can denote attributes of any of the
foregoing.]

                               _Syntax_

2/3
     {<AI05-0003-1AI05-0003-1>} {<AI05-0139-2AI05-0139-2>} name ::=
          direct_name   | explicit_dereference
        | indexed_component   | slice
        | selected_component   | attribute_reference

     direct_name ::= identifier | operator_symbol

3.a/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} character_literal
          is no longer a direct_name.  character_literals are usable
          even when the corresponding enumeration type declaration is
          not visible.  See *note 4.2::.

4
     prefix ::= name | implicit_dereference

5
     explicit_dereference ::= name.all

6
     implicit_dereference ::= name

7/3
{<AI05-0004-1AI05-0004-1>} [Certain forms of name (indexed_components,
selected_components, slices, and attribute_references) include a prefix
that is either itself a name that denotes some related entity, or an
implicit_dereference of an access value that designates some related
entity.]

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

8
The name in a <dereference> (either an implicit_dereference or an
explicit_dereference) is expected to be of any access type.

                          _Static Semantics_

9/3
{<AI05-0008-1AI05-0008-1>} If the type of the name in a dereference is
some access-to-object type <T>, then the dereference denotes a view of
an object, the <nominal subtype> of the view being the designated
subtype of <T>.  If the designated subtype has unconstrained
discriminants, the (actual) subtype of the view is constrained by the
values of the discriminants of the designated object, except when there
is a partial view of the type of the designated subtype that does not
have discriminants, in which case the dereference is not constrained by
its discriminant values.

9.a
          Ramification: If the value of the name is the result of an
          access type conversion, the dereference denotes a view created
          as part of the conversion.  The nominal subtype of the view is
          not necessarily the same as that used to create the designated
          object.  See *note 4.6::.

9.b
          To be honest: We sometimes refer to the nominal subtype of a
          particular kind of name rather than the nominal subtype of the
          view denoted by the name (presuming the name denotes a view of
          an object).  These two uses of nominal subtype are intended to
          mean the same thing.

9.c/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0008-1AI05-0008-1>} The last sentence was not
          present in Ada 95; it is necessary in Ada 2005 because general
          access types can designate unconstrained objects, which was
          not possible in Ada 95.  Thus, the rules that had this effect
          in Ada 95 (the object being constrained by its initial value)
          don't work in Ada 2005 and we have to say this explicitly.

9.d/3
          {<AI05-0008-1AI05-0008-1>} The "except" part of the last
          sentence prevents privacy "breaking", so that if a private
          type has discriminants only in the full view, they don't
          interfere with freely interassigning values between objects of
          the type, even when the objects live in the heap.

9.e/3
          Implementation Note: {<AI05-0008-1AI05-0008-1>} Since we don't
          depend on whether the designated object is constrained, it is
          not necessary to include a constrained bit in every object
          that could be designated by a general access type.

10
If the type of the name in a dereference is some access-to-subprogram
type <S>, then the dereference denotes a view of a subprogram, the
<profile> of the view being the designated profile of <S>.

10.a
          Ramification: This means that the formal parameter names and
          default expressions to be used in a call whose name or prefix
          is a dereference are those of the designated profile, which
          need not be the same as those of the subprogram designated by
          the access value, since 'Access requires only subtype
          conformance, not full conformance.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

11/2
{<AI95-00415-01AI95-00415-01>} The evaluation of a name determines the
entity denoted by the name.  This evaluation has no other effect for a
name that is a direct_name or a character_literal.

12
[The evaluation of a name that has a prefix includes the evaluation of
the prefix.]  The evaluation of a prefix consists of the evaluation of
the name or the implicit_dereference.  The prefix denotes the entity
denoted by the name or the implicit_dereference.

13
The evaluation of a dereference consists of the evaluation of the name
and the determination of the object or subprogram that is designated by
the value of the name.  A check is made that the value of the name is
not the null access value.  Constraint_Error is raised if this check
fails.  The dereference denotes the object or subprogram designated by
the value of the name.

17.a
          Type conversions and function calls are now considered names
          that denote the result of the operation.  In the case of a
          type conversion used as an actual parameter or that is of a
          tagged type, the type conversion is considered a variable if
          the operand is a variable.  This simplifies the description of
          "parameters of the form of a type conversion" as well as
          better supporting an important OOP paradigm that requires the
          combination of a conversion from a class-wide type to some
          specific type followed immediately by component selection.
          Function calls are considered names so that a type conversion
          of a function call and the function call itself are treated
          equivalently in the grammar.  A function call is considered
          the name of a constant, and can be used anywhere such a name
          is permitted.  See *note 6.5::.

17.b/1
          Type conversions of a tagged type are permitted anywhere their
          operand is permitted.  That is, if the operand is a variable,
          then the type conversion can appear on the left-hand side of
          an assignment_statement.  If the operand is an object, then
          the type conversion can appear in an object renaming or as a
          prefix.  See *note 4.6::.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

17.c/2
          {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} Everything of the general
          syntactic form name(...)  is now syntactically a name.  In any
          realistic parser, this would be a necessity since
          distinguishing among the various name(...)  constructs
          inevitably requires name resolution.  In cases where the
          construct yields a value rather than an object, the name
          denotes a value rather than an object.  Names already denote
          values in Ada 83 with named numbers, components of the result
          of a function call, etc.  This is partly just a wording
          change, and partly an extension of functionality (see
          Extensions heading above).

17.d
          The syntax rule for direct_name is new.  It is used in places
          where direct visibility is required.  It's kind of like Ada
          83's simple_name, but simple_name applied to both direct
          visibility and visibility by selection, and furthermore, it
          didn't work right for operator_symbols.  The syntax rule for
          simple_name is removed, since its use is covered by a
          combination of direct_name and selector_name.  The syntactic
          categories direct_name and selector_name are similar; it's
          mainly the visibility rules that distinguish the two.  The
          introduction of direct_name requires the insertion of one new
          explicit textual rule: to forbid statement_identifiers from
          being operator_symbols.  This is the only case where the
          explicit rule is needed, because this is the only case where
          the declaration of the entity is implicit.  For example, there
          is no need to syntactically forbid (say) "X: "Rem";", because
          it is impossible to declare a type whose name is an
          operator_symbol in the first place.

17.e
          The syntax rules for explicit_dereference and
          implicit_dereference are new; this makes other rules simpler,
          since dereferencing an access value has substantially
          different semantics from selected_components.  We also use
          name instead of prefix in the explicit_dereference rule since
          that seems clearer.  Note that these rules rely on the fact
          that function calls are now names, so we don't need to use
          prefix to allow functions calls in front of .all.

17.f
          Discussion: Actually, it would be reasonable to allow any
          primary in front of .all, since only the value is needed, but
          that would be a bit radical.

17.g
          We no longer use the term <appropriate for a type> since we
          now describe the semantics of a prefix in terms of implicit
          dereference.

                       _Extensions to Ada 2005_

17.h/3
          {<AI05-0003-1AI05-0003-1>} A qualified_expression is now a
          name denoting a constant view; this allows them to be used as
          a prefix and to be renamed as an object.  They are often used
          to remove ambiguity from function calls, and there may be no
          other way to do that.  Interestingly, a type_conversion of a
          qualified_expression is already legal in these contexts, so
          this change mainly reduces clutter by eliminating an otherwise
          unneeded type_conversion from some expressions.

17.i/3
          {<AI05-0008-1AI05-0008-1>} Correction: Added a missing rule so
          that most dereferences are assumed constrained (without
          determining whether the designated object is).  This is just
          confirming the Ada 95 rules; Ada 2005 failed to ensure that
          this property was unchanged.

          {<AI05-0139-2AI05-0139-2>} {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} Added
          generalized_reference and generalized_indexing as types of

4.1.1 Indexed Components
------------------------

1
[An indexed_component denotes either a component of an array or an entry
in a family of entries.  ]

                               _Syntax_

2
     indexed_component ::= prefix(expression {, expression})

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

3
The prefix of an indexed_component with a given number of expressions
shall resolve to denote an array (after any implicit dereference) with
the corresponding number of index positions, or shall resolve to denote
an entry family of a task or protected object (in which case there shall
be only one expression).

4
The expected type for each expression is the corresponding index type.

                          _Static Semantics_

5
When the prefix denotes an array, the indexed_component denotes the
component of the array with the specified index value(s).  The nominal
subtype of the indexed_component is the component subtype of the array
type.

6
When the prefix denotes an entry family, the indexed_component denotes
the individual entry of the entry family with the specified index value.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

7
For the evaluation of an indexed_component, the prefix and the
expressions are evaluated in an arbitrary order.  The value of each
expression is converted to the corresponding index type.  A check is
made that each index value belongs to the corresponding index range of
the array or entry family denoted by the prefix.  Constraint_Error is
raised if this check fails.

                              _Examples_

8
<Examples of indexed components:>

9
      My_Schedule(Sat)     --<  a component of a one-dimensional array    (see *note 3.6.1::)>
      Page(10)             --<  a component of a one-dimensional array    (see *note 3.6::)>
      Board(M, J + 1)      --<  a component of a two-dimensional array    (see *note 3.6.1::)>
      Page(10)(20)         --<  a component of a component    (see *note 3.6::)>
      Request(Medium)      --<  an entry in a family of entries    (see *note 9.1::)>
      Next_Frame(L)(M, N)  --<  a component of a function call    (see *note 6.1::)>

     NOTES

10
     1  <Notes on the examples:> Distinct notations are used for
     components of multidimensional arrays (such as Board) and arrays of
     arrays (such as Page).  The components of an array of arrays are
     arrays and can therefore be indexed.  Thus Page(10)(20) denotes the
     20th component of Page(10).  In the last example Next_Frame(L) is a
     function call returning an access value that designates a
     two-dimensional array.

4.1.2 Slices
------------

1
[ A slice denotes a one-dimensional array formed by a sequence of
consecutive components of a one-dimensional array.  A slice of a
variable is a variable; a slice of a constant is a constant;] a slice of
a value is a value.

                               _Syntax_

2
     slice ::= prefix(discrete_range)

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

3
The prefix of a slice shall resolve to denote a one-dimensional array
(after any implicit dereference).

4
The expected type for the discrete_range of a slice is the index type of
the array type.

                          _Static Semantics_

5
A slice denotes a one-dimensional array formed by the sequence of
consecutive components of the array denoted by the prefix, corresponding
to the range of values of the index given by the discrete_range.

6
The type of the slice is that of the prefix.  Its bounds are those
defined by the discrete_range.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

7
For the evaluation of a slice, the prefix and the discrete_range are
evaluated in an arbitrary order.  If the slice is not a <null slice> (a
slice where the discrete_range is a null range), then a check is made
that the bounds of the discrete_range belong to the index range of the
array denoted by the prefix.  Constraint_Error is raised if this check
fails.

     NOTES

8
     2  A slice is not permitted as the prefix of an Access
     attribute_reference, even if the components or the array as a whole
     are aliased.  See *note 3.10.2::.

8.a
          Proof: Slices are not aliased, by *note 3.10::, "*note 3.10::
          Access Types".

8.b
          Reason: This is to ease implementation of
          general-access-to-array.  If slices were aliased,
          implementations would need to store array dope with the access
          values, which is not always desirable given
          access-to-incomplete types completed in a package body.

9
     3  For a one-dimensional array A, the slice A(N ..  N) denotes an
     array that has only one component; its type is the type of A. On
     the other hand, A(N) denotes a component of the array A and has the
     corresponding component type.

                              _Examples_

10
<Examples of slices:>

11
       Stars(1 .. 15)        --<  a slice of 15 characters    (see *note 3.6.3::)>
       Page(10 .. 10 + Size) --<  a slice of 1 + Size components    (see *note 3.6::)>
       Page(L)(A .. B)       --<  a slice of the array Page(L)    (see *note 3.6::)>
       Stars(1 .. 0)         --<  a null slice    (see *note 3.6.3::)>
       My_Schedule(Weekday)  --<  bounds given by subtype    (see *note 3.6.1:: and *note 3.5.1::)>
       Stars(5 .. 15)(K)     --<  same as Stars(K)    (see *note 3.6.3::)>
                             --<  provided that K is in 5 .. 15>

4.1.3 Selected Components
-------------------------

1
[Selected_components are used to denote components (including
discriminants), entries, entry families, and protected subprograms; they
are also used as expanded names as described below.  ]

                               _Syntax_

2
     selected_component ::= prefix . selector_name

3
     selector_name ::= identifier | character_literal | operator_symbol

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

4
A selected_component is called an <expanded name> if, according to the
visibility rules, at least one possible interpretation of its prefix
denotes a package or an enclosing named construct (directly, not through
a subprogram_renaming_declaration or generic_renaming_declaration).

4.a
          Discussion: See AI83-00187.

5
A selected_component that is not an expanded name shall resolve to
denote one of the following:

5.a
          Ramification: If the prefix of a selected_component denotes an
          enclosing named construct, then the selected_component is
          interpreted only as an expanded name, even if the named
          construct is a function that could be called without
          parameters.

6
   * A component [(including a discriminant)]:

7
     The prefix shall resolve to denote an object or value of some
     non-array composite type (after any implicit dereference).  The
     selector_name shall resolve to denote a discriminant_specification
     of the type, or, unless the type is a protected type, a
     component_declaration of the type.  The selected_component denotes
     the corresponding component of the object or value.

7.a/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} The components of a
          protected object cannot be named except by an expanded name,
          even from within the corresponding protected body.  The
          protected body cannot reference the private components of some
          arbitrary object of the protected type; the protected body may
          reference components of the current instance only (by an
          expanded name or a direct_name).

7.b
          Ramification: Only the discriminants and components visible at
          the place of the selected_component can be selected, since a
          selector_name can only denote declarations that are visible
          (see *note 8.3::).

8
   * A single entry, an entry family, or a protected subprogram:

9
     The prefix shall resolve to denote an object or value of some task
     or protected type (after any implicit dereference).  The
     selector_name shall resolve to denote an entry_declaration or
     subprogram_declaration occurring (implicitly or explicitly) within
     the visible part of that type.  The selected_component denotes the
     corresponding entry, entry family, or protected subprogram.

9.a
          Reason: This explicitly says "visible part" because even
          though the body has visibility on the private part, it cannot
          call the private operations of some arbitrary object of the
          task or protected type, only those of the current instance
          (and expanded name notation has to be used for that).

9.1/2
   * {<AI95-00252-01AI95-00252-01>} {<AI95-00407-01AI95-00407-01>} A
     view of a subprogram whose first formal parameter is of a tagged
     type or is an access parameter whose designated type is tagged:

9.2/3
     {<AI95-00252-01AI95-00252-01>} {<AI95-00407-01AI95-00407-01>}
     {<AI05-0090-1AI05-0090-1>} The prefix (after any implicit
     dereference) shall resolve to denote an object or value of a
     specific tagged type <T> or class-wide type <T>'Class.  The
     selector_name shall resolve to denote a view of a subprogram
     declared immediately within the declarative region in which an
     ancestor of the type <T> is declared.  The first formal parameter
     of the subprogram shall be of type <T>, or a class-wide type that
     covers <T>, or an access parameter designating one of these types.
     The designator of the subprogram shall not be the same as that of a
     component of the tagged type visible at the point of the
     selected_component.  The subprogram shall not be an implicitly
     declared primitive operation of type <T> that overrides an
     inherited subprogram implemented by an entry or protected
     subprogram visible at the point of the selected_component.  The
     selected_component denotes a view of this subprogram that omits the
     first formal parameter.  This view is called a <prefixed view> of
     the subprogram, and the prefix of the selected_component (after any
     implicit dereference) is called the <prefix> of the prefixed view.     

9.b/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0090-1AI05-0090-1>} The part of the rule
          that excludes a primitive overriding subprogram as a selector
          applies only to the wrapper subprogram that is implicitly
          declared to override a subprogram inherited from a
          synchronized interface that is implemented by an operation of
          a task or protected type (see *note 9.1:: and *note 9.4::).
          We don't want calls that use a prefixed view to be ambiguous
          between the wrapper subprogram and the implementing entry or
          protected operation.  Note that it is illegal to declare an
          explicit primitive that has a prefixed view that is
          homographic with one of the type's operations, so in normal
          cases it isn't possible to have an ambiguity in a prefix call.
          However, a class-wide operation of an ancestor type that is
          declared in the same declaration list with the ancestor type
          is also considered, and that can still make a call ambiguous.

10
An expanded name shall resolve to denote a declaration that occurs
immediately within a named declarative region, as follows:

11
   * The prefix shall resolve to denote either a package [(including the
     current instance of a generic package, or a rename of a package)],
     or an enclosing named construct.

12
   * The selector_name shall resolve to denote a declaration that occurs
     immediately within the declarative region of the package or
     enclosing construct [(the declaration shall be visible at the place
     of the expanded name -- see *note 8.3::)].  The expanded name
     denotes that declaration.

12.a
          Ramification: Hence, a library unit or subunit can use an
          expanded name to refer to the declarations within the private
          part of its parent unit, as well as to other children that
          have been mentioned in with_clauses.

13
   * If the prefix does not denote a package, then it shall be a
     direct_name or an expanded name, and it shall resolve to denote a
     program unit (other than a package), the current instance of a
     type, a block_statement, a loop_statement, or an accept_statement
     (*note 9.5.2: S0219.) (in the case of an accept_statement (*note
     9.5.2: S0219.) or entry_body (*note 9.5.2: S0221.), no family index
     is allowed); the expanded name shall occur within the declarative
     region of this construct.  Further, if this construct is a callable
     construct and the prefix denotes more than one such enclosing
     callable construct, then the expanded name is ambiguous,
     independently of the selector_name.

                           _Legality Rules_

13.1/2
{<AI95-00252-01AI95-00252-01>} {<AI95-00407-01AI95-00407-01>} For a
subprogram whose first parameter is an access parameter, the prefix of
any prefixed view shall denote an aliased view of an object.

13.2/2
{<AI95-00407-01AI95-00407-01>} For a subprogram whose first parameter is
of mode in out or out, or of an anonymous access-to-variable type, the
prefix of any prefixed view shall denote a variable.

13.a/2
          Reason: We want calls through a prefixed view and through a
          normal view to have the same legality.  Thus, the implicit
          'Access in this new notation needs the same legality check
          that an explicit 'Access would have.  Similarly, we need to
          prohibit the object from being constant if the first parameter
          of the subprogram is in out, because that is (obviously)
          prohibited for passing a normal parameter.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

14
The evaluation of a selected_component includes the evaluation of the
prefix.

15
For a selected_component that denotes a component of a variant, a check
is made that the values of the discriminants are such that the value or
object denoted by the prefix has this component.  The exception
Constraint_Error is raised if this check fails.

19.a
          We now allow an expanded name to use a prefix that denotes a
          rename of a package, even if the selector is for an entity
          local to the body or private part of the package, so long as
          the entity is visible at the place of the reference.  This
          eliminates a preexisting anomaly where references in a package
          body may refer to declarations of its visible part but not
          those of its private part or body when the prefix is a rename
          of the package.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

19.b
          The syntax rule for selector_name is new.  It is used in
          places where visibility, but not necessarily direct
          visibility, is required.  See *note 4.1::, "*note 4.1:: Names"
          for more information.

19.c
          The description of dereferencing an access type has been moved
          to *note 4.1::, "*note 4.1:: Names"; name.all is no longer
          considered a selected_component.

19.d
          The rules have been restated to be consistent with our new
          terminology, to accommodate class-wide types, etc.

          {<AI95-00252-01AI95-00252-01>} The prefixed view notation for
          tagged objects is new.  This provides a similar notation to
          that used in other popular languages, and also reduces the
          need for use_clauses.  This is sometimes known as
          "distinguished receiver notation".  

19.f/2
          Given the following definitions for a tagged type T:

               My_Object.Do_Something (Count => 10);

4.1.4 Attributes
----------------

1
[An <attribute> is a characteristic of an entity that can be queried via
an attribute_reference (*note 4.1.4: S0100.) or a
range_attribute_reference (*note 4.1.4: S0102.).]

                               _Syntax_

2
     attribute_reference ::= prefix'attribute_designator

3/2
     {<AI05-0004-1AI05-0004-1>} attribute_designator ::=
         identifier[(<static_>expression)]
       | Access | Delta | Digits | Mod

4
     range_attribute_reference ::= prefix'range_attribute_designator

5
     range_attribute_designator ::= Range[(<static_>expression)]

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

6
In an attribute_reference, if the attribute_designator is for an
attribute defined for (at least some) objects of an access type, then
the prefix is never interpreted as an implicit_dereference; otherwise
(and for all range_attribute_references), if the type of the name within
the prefix is of an access type, the prefix is interpreted as an
implicit_dereference.  Similarly, if the attribute_designator is for an
attribute defined for (at least some) functions, then the prefix is
never interpreted as a parameterless function_call; otherwise (and for
all range_attribute_references), if the prefix consists of a name that
denotes a function, it is interpreted as a parameterless function_call.

6.a
          Discussion: The first part of this rule is essentially a
          "preference" against implicit dereference, so that it is
          possible to ask for, say, 'Size of an access object, without
          automatically getting the size of the object designated by the
          access object.  This rule applies to 'Access,
          'Unchecked_Access, 'Size, and 'Address, and any other
          attributes that are defined for at least some access objects.

6.b
          The second part of this rule implies that, for a parameterless
          function F, F'Address is the address of F, whereas F'Size is
          the size of the anonymous constant returned by F.

6.c/1
          We normally talk in terms of expected type or profile for name
          resolution rules, but we don't do this for attributes because
          certain attributes are legal independent of the type or the
          profile of the prefix.

6.d/2
          {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} Other than the rules given
          above, the Name Resolution Rules for the prefix of each
          attribute are defined as Name Resolution Rules for that
          attribute.  If no such rules are defined, then no context at
          all should be used when resolving the prefix.  In particular,
          any knowledge about the kind of entities required must not be
          used for resolution unless that is required by Name Resolution
          Rules.  This matters in obscure cases; for instance, given the
          following declarations:

6.e/2
                 function Get_It return Integer is ... -- <(1)>
                 function Get_It return Some_Record_Type is ... -- <(2)>

6.f/2
          the following attribute_reference cannot be resolved and is
          illegal:

6.g/2
                 if Get_It'Valid then

6.h/3
          {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} even though the Valid attribute is
          only defined for objects of scalar types, and thus cannot be
          applied to the result of function (2).  That information
          cannot be used to resolve the prefix.  The same would be true
          if (2) had been a procedure; even though the procedure does
          not denote an object, the attribute_reference is still
          illegal.

7
The expression, if any, in an attribute_designator or
range_attribute_designator is expected to be of any integer type.

                           _Legality Rules_

8
The expression, if any, in an attribute_designator or
range_attribute_designator shall be static.

                          _Static Semantics_

9/4
{<AI05-0006-1AI05-0006-1>} {<AI12-0032-1AI12-0032-1>}
{<AI12-0159-1AI12-0159-1>} An attribute_reference denotes a value, an
object, a subprogram, or some other kind of program entity.  Unless
explicitly specified otherwise, for an attribute_reference that denotes
a value or an object, if its type is scalar, then its nominal subtype is
the base subtype of the type; if its type is tagged, its nominal subtype
is the first subtype of the type; otherwise, its nominal subtype is a
subtype of the type without any constraint, null_exclusion, or
predicate.  Similarly, unless explicitly specified otherwise, for an
attribute_reference that denotes a function, when its result type is
scalar, its result subtype is the base subtype of the type, when its
result type is tagged, the result subtype is the first subtype of the
type, and when the result type is some other type, the result subtype is
a subtype of the type without any constraint, null_exclusion, or
predicate.

9.a
          Ramification: The attributes defined by the language are
          summarized in *note K.2::.  Implementations can define
          additional attributes.

9.b/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0006-1AI05-0006-1>} The nominal subtype is
          primarily a concern when an attribute_reference, or a call on
          an attribute_reference, is used as the expression of a case
          statement, due to the full coverage requirement based on the
          nominal subtype.  For nondiscrete cases, we define the nominal
          subtype mainly for completeness.  Implementations may specify
          otherwise for implementation-defined attribute functions.

9.c/3
          The rule is written to match the meaning of the italicized <T>
          in the definition of attributes such as Input; see *note
          4.5.1::.

9.d/3
          To be honest: {<AI05-0006-1AI05-0006-1>} We don't worry about
          the fact that "base subtype" is not explicitly defined for the
          universal types.  Since it is not possible to constrain a
          universal numeric type, all subtypes are unconstrained, and
          hence can be considered base subtypes.  The wording above
          could be altered to bypass this issue, but it doesn't seem
          necessary, since universal integer is handled specially in the
          rules for case expression full coverage, and we don't allow
          user-defined functions for attribute functions whose result
          type is universal.

[A range_attribute_reference X'Range(N) is equivalent to the range
X'First(N) ..  X'Last(N), except that the prefix is only evaluated once.
Similarly, X'Range is equivalent to X'First ..  X'Last, except that the
prefix is only evaluated once.]

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

11
The evaluation of an attribute_reference (or range_attribute_reference)
consists of the evaluation of the prefix.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

12/1
{<8652/00158652/0015>} {<AI95-00093-01AI95-00093-01>} An implementation
may provide implementation-defined attributes; the identifier for an
implementation-defined attribute shall differ from those of the
language-defined attributes unless supplied for compatibility with a
previous edition of this International Standard.

12.a
          Implementation defined: Implementation-defined attributes.

12.b
          Ramification: They cannot be reserved words because reserved
          words are not legal identifiers.

12.c
          The semantics of implementation-defined attributes, and any
          associated rules, are, of course, implementation defined.  For
          example, the implementation defines whether a given
          implementation-defined attribute can be used in a static
          expression.

12.c.1/1
          {<8652/00158652/0015>} {<AI95-00093-01AI95-00093-01>}
          Implementations are allowed to support the Small attribute for
          floating types, as this was defined in Ada 83, even though the
          name would conflict with a language-defined attribute.

     NOTES

13
     4  Attributes are defined throughout this International Standard,
     and are summarized in *note K.2::.

14/2
     5  {<AI95-00235AI95-00235>} In general, the name in a prefix of an
     attribute_reference (or a range_attribute_reference) has to be
     resolved without using any context.  However, in the case of the
     Access attribute, the expected type for the attribute_reference has
     to be a single access type, and the resolution of the name can use
     the fact that the type of the object or the profile of the callable
     entity denoted by the prefix has to match the designated type or be
     type conformant with the designated profile of the access type.  

14.a/2
          Proof: {<AI95-00235AI95-00235>} In the general case, there is
          no "expected type" for the prefix of an attribute_reference.
          In the special case of 'Access, there is an "expected type" or
          "expected profile" for the prefix.

14.b
          Reason: 'Access is a special case, because without it, it
          would be very difficult to take 'Access of an overloaded
          subprogram.

                              _Examples_

<Examples of attributes:>

     Color'First        --< minimum value of the enumeration type Color    (see *note 3.5.1::)>
     Rainbow'Base'First --< same as Color'First    (see *note 3.5.1::)>
     Real'Digits        --< precision of the type Real    (see *note 3.5.7::)>
     Board'Last(2)      --< upper bound of the second dimension of Board    (see *note 3.6.1::)>
     Board'Range(1)     --< index range of the first dimension of Board    (see *note 3.6.1::)>
     Pool(K)'Terminated --< True if task Pool(K) is terminated    (see *note 9.1::)>
     Date'Size          --< number of bits for records of type Date    (see *note 3.8::)>
     Message'Address    --< address of the record variable Message    (see *note 3.7.1::)>

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

16.a
          We now uniformly treat X'Range as X'First..X'Last, allowing
          its use with scalar subtypes.

16.b
          We allow any integer type in the <static_>expression of an
          attribute designator, not just a value of <universal_integer>.
          The preference rules ensure upward compatibility.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

16.c
          We use the syntactic category attribute_reference rather than
          simply "attribute" to avoid confusing the name of something
          with the thing itself.

16.d
          The syntax rule for attribute_reference now uses identifier
          instead of simple_name, because attribute identifiers are not
          required to follow the normal visibility rules.

16.e
          We now separate attribute_reference from
          range_attribute_reference, and enumerate the reserved words
          that are legal attribute or range attribute designators.  We
          do this because identifier no longer includes reserved words.

16.f
          The Ada 95 name resolution rules are a bit more explicit than
          in Ada 83.  The Ada 83 rule said that the "meaning of the
          prefix of an attribute must be determinable independently of
          the attribute designator and independently of the fact that it
          is the prefix of an attribute."  That isn't quite right since
          the meaning even in Ada 83 embodies whether or not the prefix
          is interpreted as a parameterless function call, and in Ada
          95, it also embodies whether or not the prefix is interpreted
          as an implicit_dereference.  So the attribute designator does
          make a difference -- just not much.

16.g
          Note however that if the attribute designator is Access, it
          makes a big difference in the interpretation of the prefix
          (see *note 3.10.2::).

          {<8652/00158652/0015>} {<AI95-00093-01AI95-00093-01>}
          Corrigendum: The wording was changed to allow implementations
          to continue to implement the Ada 83 Small attribute.  This was
          always intended to be allowed.

16.i/2
          {<AI95-00235-01AI95-00235-01>} The note about resolving
          prefixes of attributes was updated to reflect that the prefix
          of an Access attribute now has an expected type (see *note
          3.10.2::).

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

16.j/3
          {<AI05-0006-1AI05-0006-1>} Correction: Defined the nominal
          subtype of an attribute_reference to close a minor language
          hole.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2012_

16.k/4
          {<AI12-0032-1AI12-0032-1>} Corrigendum: Allowed overriding the
          nominal subtype of an attribute_reference for an object; that
          is used elsewhere in this standard.

16.l/4
          {<AI12-0159-1AI12-0159-1>} Corrigendum: Added wording so it is
          clear that predicates don't apply to the result of an
          attribute.

{<AI05-0139-2AI05-0139-2>} Given a discriminated type <T>, the following
type-related operational aspect may be specified:

2/3
Implicit_Dereference
               This aspect is specified by a name that denotes an access

          user-defined implicit .all.

3/3
{<AI05-0139-2AI05-0139-2>} A (view of a) type with a specified
Implicit_Dereference aspect is a <reference type>.  A <reference object>
is an object of a reference type.  The discriminant named by the
Implicit_Dereference aspect is the <reference discriminant> of the
reference type or reference object.  [A generalized_reference is a name
that identifies a reference object, and denotes the object or subprogram
designated by the reference discriminant of the reference object.]

3.a.1/3
          Glossary entry: A reference type is one that has user-defined

{<AI12-0138-1AI12-0138-1>} The Implicit_Dereference aspect is
nonoverridable (see *note 13.1.1::).

5.a/4
          Reason: This ensures that all descendants of a reference type
          have the same reference discriminant.  This prevents generic
          contract problems with formal derived types.

6/3
{<AI05-0139-2AI05-0139-2>} A generalized_reference denotes a view
equivalent to that of a dereference of the reference discriminant of the
reference object.

{<AI05-0139-2AI05-0139-2>} Given a reference type <T>, the
Implicit_Dereference aspect is inherited by descendants of type <T> if
not overridden.  If a descendant type constrains the value of the
reference discriminant of <T> by a new discriminant, that new
discriminant is the reference discriminant of the descendant.  [If the
descendant type constrains the value of the reference discriminant of
<T> by an expression other than the name of a new discriminant, a
generalized_reference that identifies an object of the descendant type
denotes the object or subprogram designated by the value of this
constraining expression.]

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

8/3
{<AI05-0139-2AI05-0139-2>} The evaluation of a generalized_reference
consists of the evaluation of the <reference_object_>name and a
determination of the object or subprogram designated by the reference
discriminant of the named reference object.  A check is made that the
value of the reference discriminant is not the null access value.
Constraint_Error is raised if this check fails.  The
generalized_reference denotes the object or subprogram designated by the

          to be used in a hierarchy.

4.1.6 User-Defined Indexing
---------------------------

                          _Static Semantics_

1/3
{<AI05-0139-2AI05-0139-2>} Given a tagged type <T>, the following
type-related, operational aspects may be specified:

2/3
Constant_Indexing
               This aspect shall be specified by a name that denotes one
               or more functions declared immediately within the same
               declaration list in which <T> is declared.  All such
               functions shall have at least two parameters, the first
               of which is of type <T> or <T>'Class, or is an
               access-to-constant parameter with designated type <T> or
               <T>'Class.

2.a/3
          Aspect Description for Constant_Indexing: Defines function(s)
          to implement user-defined indexed_components.

3/3
Variable_Indexing
               This aspect shall be specified by a name that denotes one
               or more functions declared immediately within the same
               declaration list in which <T> is declared.  All such
               functions shall have at least two parameters, the first
               of which is of type <T> or <T>'Class, or is an access
               parameter with designated type <T> or <T>'Class.  All
               such functions shall have a return type that is a
               reference type (see *note 4.1.5::), whose reference
               discriminant is of an access-to-variable type.

3.a/3
          Reason: We require these functions to return a reference type
          so that the object returned from the function can act like a
          variable.  We need no similar rule for Constant_Indexing,
          since all functions return constant objects.

3.b/3
          Aspect Description for Variable_Indexing: Defines function(s)
          to implement user-defined indexed_components.

4/4
{<AI12-0104-1AI12-0104-1>} These aspects are inherited by descendants of
<T> (including the class-wide type <T>'Class).

4.a/3
          Ramification: Indexing can be provided for multiple index
          types by overloading routines with different parameter
          profiles.  For instance, the map containers provide indexing
          on both cursors and keys by providing pairs of overloaded
          routines to the Constant_Indexing and Variable_Indexing
          aspects.

5/3
{<AI05-0139-2AI05-0139-2>} {<AI05-0292-1AI05-0292-1>} An <indexable
container type> is (a view of) a tagged type with at least one of the
aspects Constant_Indexing or Variable_Indexing specified.  An <indexable
container object> is an object of an indexable container type.  [A
generalized_indexing is a name that denotes the result of calling a
function named by a Constant_Indexing or Variable_Indexing aspect.]

5.a.1/3
          Glossary entry: An indexable container type is one that has
          user-defined behavior for indexing, via the Constant_Indexing
          or Variable_Indexing aspects.

5.1/4
{<AI12-0138-1AI12-0138-1>} The Constant_Indexing and Variable_Indexing
aspects are nonoverridable (see *note 13.1.1::).

5.a/4
          Reason: This ensures that all descendants of an indexable
          container type have aspects with the same properties.  This
          prevents generic contract problems with formal derived types.

5.b/4
          {<AI12-0104-1AI12-0104-1>} {<AI12-0138-1AI12-0138-1>} A
          nonoverridable aspect allows the replacement of the
          implementation of an indexing function and the addition of a
          new indexing function for a derived type, but not the removal
          of an indexing function.  This is necessary so that indexing
          can be used on objects of T'Class.  So long as the tag of O is
          that of its nominal subtype, we do not want T'Class(O)(I) to
          mean something different than O(I). Thus we cannot allow a
          change in the function identified.  As T'Class(O)(I) expands
          into a dispatching call, we need to ensure that there is a
          body for each such function -- but it is OK for that body to
          be changed from the original body (that's just normal
          dispatching).

     generalized_indexing ::= <indexable_container_object_>prefix 
     actual_parameter_part

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

11/3
{<AI05-0139-2AI05-0139-2>} {<AI05-0292-1AI05-0292-1>} The expected type
for the <indexable_container_object_>prefix of a generalized_indexing is
any indexable container type.

12/3
{<AI05-0139-2AI05-0139-2>} {<AI05-0292-1AI05-0292-1>} If the
Constant_Indexing aspect is specified for the type of the
<indexable_container_object_>prefix of a generalized_indexing, then the
generalized_indexing is interpreted as a <constant indexing> under the
following circumstances:

13/3
   * when the Variable_Indexing aspect is not specified for the type of
     the <indexable_container_object_>prefix;

14/3
   * when the <indexable_container_object_>prefix denotes a constant;

15/3
   * when the generalized_indexing is used within a primary where a name
     denoting a constant is permitted.

15.a/3
          Ramification: This means it is not interpreted as a constant
          indexing for the <variable_>name in the LHS of an assignment
          (not inside a primary), nor for the name used for an out or in
          out parameter (not allowed to be a constant), nor for the name
          in an object renaming (not inside a primary), unless there is
          no Variable_Indexing aspect defined.

16/3
Otherwise, the generalized_indexing is interpreted as a <variable
indexing>.

17/3
When a generalized_indexing is interpreted as a constant (or variable)
indexing, it is equivalent to a call on a prefixed view of one of the
functions named by the Constant_Indexing (or Variable_Indexing) aspect
of the type of the <indexable_container_object_>prefix with the given
actual_parameter_part, and with the <indexable_container_object_>prefix
as the prefix of the prefixed view.

17.a/3
          Ramification: In other words, the generalized_indexing is
          equivalent to:

17.b/3
               <indexable_container_object_>prefix.Indexing actual_parameter_part

17.c/4
          {<AI12-0005-1AI12-0005-1>} where Indexing is the name
          specified for the Constant_Indexing or Variable_Indexing
          aspect.  This equivalence is then resolved in the normal way;
          the aspect specifies a name, it does not denote declarations.

     NOTES

18/4
     6  {<AI12-0104-1AI12-0104-1>} The Constant_Indexing and
     Variable_Indexing aspects cannot be redefined when inherited for a
     derived type, but the functions that they denote can be modified by
     overriding or overloading.

4.2 Literals
============

1
[ A <literal> represents a value literally, that is, by means of
notation suited to its kind.]  A literal is either a numeric_literal, a
character_literal, the literal null, or a string_literal.  

1.a
          Discussion: An enumeration literal that is an identifier
          rather than a character_literal is not considered a <literal>
          in the above sense, because it involves no special notation
          "suited to its kind."  It might more properly be called an
          enumeration_identifier, except for historical reasons.

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

2/2
<This paragraph was deleted.>{<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>}

3
For a name that consists of a character_literal, either its expected
type shall be a single character type, in which case it is interpreted
as a parameterless function_call that yields the corresponding value of
the character type, or its expected profile shall correspond to a
parameterless function with a character result type, in which case it is
interpreted as the name of the corresponding parameterless function
declared as part of the character type's definition (see *note 3.5.1::).
In either case, the character_literal denotes the
enumeration_literal_specification.

3.a
          Discussion: See *note 4.1.3:: for the resolution rules for a
          selector_name that is a character_literal.

4
The expected type for a primary that is a string_literal shall be a
single string type.

                           _Legality Rules_

5
A character_literal that is a name shall correspond to a
defining_character_literal of the expected type, or of the result type
of the expected profile.

6
For each character of a string_literal with a given expected string
type, there shall be a corresponding defining_character_literal of the
component type of the expected string type.

7/2
<This paragraph was deleted.>{<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>}
{<AI95-00231-01AI95-00231-01>}

                          _Static Semantics_

8/2
{<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} An integer literal is of type
<universal_integer>.  A real literal is of type <universal_real>.  The
literal null is of type <universal_access>.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

9
The evaluation of a numeric literal, or the literal null, yields the
represented value.

10
The evaluation of a string_literal that is a primary yields an array
value containing the value of each character of the sequence of
characters of the string_literal, as defined in *note 2.6::.  The bounds
of this array value are determined according to the rules for
positional_array_aggregates (see *note 4.3.3::), except that for a null
string literal, the upper bound is the predecessor of the lower bound.

11
For the evaluation of a string_literal of type <T>, a check is made that
the value of each character of the string_literal belongs to the
component subtype of <T>.  For the evaluation of a null string literal,
a check is made that its lower bound is greater than the lower bound of
the base range of the index type.  The exception Constraint_Error is
raised if either of these checks fails.

11.a
          Ramification: The checks on the characters need not involve
          more than two checks altogether, since one need only check the
          characters of the string with the lowest and highest position
          numbers against the range of the component subtype.

     NOTES

12
     7  Enumeration literals that are identifiers rather than
     character_literals follow the normal rules for identifiers when
     used in a name (see *note 4.1:: and *note 4.1.3::).
     Character_literals used as selector_names follow the normal rules
     for expanded names (see *note 4.1.3::).

                              _Examples_

13
<Examples of literals:>

14
     3.14159_26536    --<  a real literal>
     1_345    --<  an integer literal>
     'A'    --<  a character literal>
     "Some Text"    --<  a string literal >

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 83_

14.a
          Because character_literals are now treated like other
          literals, in that they are resolved using context rather than
          depending on direct visibility, additional qualification might
          be necessary when passing a character_literal to an overloaded
          subprogram.

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

14.b
          Character_literals are now treated analogously to null and
          string_literals, in that they are resolved using context,
          rather than their content; the declaration of the
          corresponding defining_character_literal need not be directly
          visible.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

14.c
          Name Resolution rules for enumeration literals that are not
          character_literals are not included anymore, since they are
          neither syntactically nor semantically "literals" but are
          rather names of parameterless functions.

          Null now has type <universal_access>, which is similar to
          other literals.  Null can be used with anonymous access types.

4.3 Aggregates
==============

1
[ An <aggregate> combines component values into a composite value of an
array type, record type, or record extension.]  

                               _Syntax_

2
     aggregate ::= record_aggregate | extension_aggregate | 
     array_aggregate

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

3/2
{<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>} The expected type for an aggregate shall
be a single array type, record type, or record extension.

3.a
          Discussion: See *note 8.6::, "*note 8.6:: The Context of
          Overload Resolution" for the meaning of "shall be a single ...
          type."

3.b/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} There are additional
          rules for each kind of aggregate.  These aggregate rules are
          additive; a legal expression needs to satisfy all of the
          applicable rules.  That means the rule given here must be
          satisfied even when it is syntactically possible to tell which
          specific kind of aggregate is being used.

                           _Legality Rules_

4
An aggregate shall not be of a class-wide type.

4.a
          Ramification: When the expected type in some context is
          class-wide, an aggregate has to be explicitly qualified by the
          specific type of value to be created, so that the expected
          type for the aggregate itself is specific.

4.b
          Discussion: We used to disallow aggregates of a type with
          unknown discriminants.  However, that was unnecessarily
          restrictive in the case of an extension aggregate, and
          irrelevant to a record aggregate (since a type that is legal
          for a record aggregate could not possibly have unknown
          discriminants) and to an array aggregate (the only specific
          types that can have unknown discriminants are private types,
          private extensions, and types derived from them).

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

5
For the evaluation of an aggregate, an anonymous object is created and
values for the components or ancestor part are obtained (as described in
the subsequent subclause for each kind of the aggregate) and assigned
into the corresponding components or ancestor part of the anonymous
object.  Obtaining the values and the assignments occur in an arbitrary
order.  The value of the aggregate is the value of this object.

5.a
          Discussion: The ancestor part is the set of components
          inherited from the ancestor type.  The syntactic category
          ancestor_part is the expression or subtype_mark that specifies
          how the ancestor part of the anonymous object should be
          initialized.

5.b
          Ramification: The assignment operations do the necessary value
          adjustment, as described in *note 7.6::.  Note that the value
          as a whole is not adjusted -- just the subcomponents (and
          ancestor part, if any).  *note 7.6:: also describes when this
          anonymous object is finalized.

5.c
          If the ancestor_part is a subtype_mark the Initialize
          procedure for the ancestor type is applied to the ancestor
          part after default-initializing it, unless the procedure is
          abstract, as described in *note 7.6::.  The Adjust procedure
          for the ancestor type is not called in this case, since there
          is no assignment to the ancestor part as a whole.

6
If an aggregate is of a tagged type, a check is made that its value
belongs to the first subtype of the type.  Constraint_Error is raised if
this check fails.

6.a
          Ramification: This check ensures that no values of a tagged
          type are ever outside the first subtype, as required for
          inherited dispatching operations to work properly (see *note
          3.4::).  This check will always succeed if the first subtype
          is unconstrained.  This check is not extended to untagged
          types to preserve upward compatibility.

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

6.b
          We now allow extension_aggregates.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

6.c
          We have adopted new wording for expressing the rule that the
          type of an aggregate shall be determinable from the outside,
          though using the fact that it is nonlimited record (extension)
          or array.

6.d
          An aggregate now creates an anonymous object.  This is
          necessary so that controlled types will work (see *note
          7.6::).

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 95_

6.e/2
          {<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>} In Ada 95, a limited type is
          not considered when resolving an aggregate.  Since Ada 2005
          now allows limited aggregates, we can have incompatibilities.
          For example:

6.f/2
               type Lim is limited
                  record
                     Comp: Integer;
                  end record;

6.g/2
               type Not_Lim is
                  record
                     Comp: Integer;
                  end record;

6.h/2
               procedure P(X: Lim);
               procedure P(X: Not_Lim);

6.i/2
               P((Comp => 123)); -- <Illegal in Ada 2005, legal in Ada 95>

6.j/2
          The call to P is ambiguous in Ada 2005, while it would not be
          ambiguous in Ada 95 as the aggregate could not have a limited
          type.  Qualifying the aggregate will eliminate any ambiguity.
          This construction would be rather confusing to a maintenance
          programmer, so it should be avoided, and thus we expect it to
          be rare.

                        _Extensions to Ada 95_

6.k/2
          {<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>} Aggregates can be of a limited
          type.

4.3.1 Record Aggregates
-----------------------

1
[In a record_aggregate, a value is specified for each component of the
record or record extension value, using either a named or a positional
association.]

                               _Syntax_

2
     record_aggregate ::= (record_component_association_list)

3
     record_component_association_list ::=
         record_component_association {, record_component_association}
       | null record

4/2
     {<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>} record_component_association ::=
         [component_choice_list =>] expression
        | component_choice_list => <>

5
     component_choice_list ::=
          <component_>selector_name {| <component_>selector_name}
        | others

6
     A record_component_association (*note 4.3.1: S0109.) is a <named
     component association> if it has a component_choice_list;
     otherwise, it is a <positional component association>.  Any
     positional component associations shall precede any named component
     associations.  If there is a named association with a
     component_choice_list of others, it shall come last.

6.a
          Discussion: These rules were implied by the BNF in an early
          version of the RM9X, but it made the grammar harder to read,
          and was inconsistent with how we handle discriminant
          constraints.  Note that for array aggregates we still express
          some of the rules in the grammar, but array aggregates are
          significantly different because an array aggregate is either
          all positional (with a possible others at the end), or all
          named.

7
     In the record_component_association_list (*note 4.3.1: S0108.) for
     a record_aggregate (*note 4.3.1: S0107.), if there is only one
     association, it shall be a named association.

7.a/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} Otherwise, the construct
          would be interpreted as a parenthesized expression.  This is
          considered a syntax rule, since it is relevant to overload
          resolution.  We choose not to express it with BNF so we can
          share the definition of record_component_association_list in
          both record_aggregate and extension_aggregate.

7.b
          Ramification: The record_component_association_list of an
          extension_aggregate does not have such a restriction.

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

8/2
{<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>} The expected type for a record_aggregate
shall be a single record type or record extension.

8.a
          Ramification: This rule is used to resolve whether an
          aggregate is an array_aggregate or a record_aggregate.  The
          presence of a with is used to resolve between a
          record_aggregate and an extension_aggregate.

9
For the record_component_association_list (*note 4.3.1: S0108.) of a
record_aggregate (*note 4.3.1: S0107.), all components of the composite
value defined by the aggregate are <needed>[; for the association list
of an extension_aggregate, only those components not determined by the
ancestor expression or subtype are needed (see *note 4.3.2::).]  Each
selector_name (*note 4.1.3: S0099.) in a record_component_association
(*note 4.3.1: S0109.) shall denote a needed component [(including
possibly a discriminant)].

9.a
          Ramification: For the association list of a record_aggregate,
          "needed components" includes every component of the composite
          value, but does not include those in unchosen variants (see
          AI83-309).  If there are variants, then the value specified
          for the discriminant that governs them determines which
          variant is chosen, and hence which components are needed.

9.b
          If an extension defines a new known_discriminant_part, then
          all of its discriminants are needed in the component
          association list of an extension aggregate for that type, even
          if the discriminants have the same names and types as
          discriminants of the type of the ancestor expression.  This is
          necessary to ensure that the positions in the
          record_component_association_list (*note 4.3.1: S0108.) are
          well defined, and that discriminants that govern variant_parts
          can be given by static expressions.

10
The expected type for the expression of a record_component_association
(*note 4.3.1: S0109.) is the type of the <associated> component(s); the
associated component(s) are as follows:

11
   * For a positional association, the component [(including possibly a
     discriminant)] in the corresponding relative position (in the
     declarative region of the type), counting only the needed
     components;

11.a
          Ramification: This means that for an association list of an
          extension_aggregate, only noninherited components are counted
          to determine the position.

11.b/3
          {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} For a derived type (including type
          extensions), the order of declaration is defined in *note
          3.4::, "*note 3.4:: Derived Types and Classes".  In
          particular, all discriminants come first, regardless of
          whether they are defined for the parent type or are newly
          added to the derived type.

12
   * For a named association with one or more
     <component_>selector_names, the named component(s);

13
   * For a named association with the reserved word others, all needed
     components that are not associated with some previous association.

                           _Legality Rules_

14
If the type of a record_aggregate is a record extension, then it shall
be a descendant of a record type, through one or more record extensions
(and no private extensions).

15/3
{<AI05-0016-1AI05-0016-1>} The reserved words null record may appear
only if there are no components needed in a given
record_component_association_list (*note 4.3.1: S0108.).

15.a
          Ramification: For example, "(null record)" is a
          record_aggregate for a null record type.  Similarly, "(T'(A)
          with null record)" is an extension_aggregate for a type
          defined as a null record extension of T.

15.b/3
          {<AI05-0016-1AI05-0016-1>} If no components are needed and
          null record is not used, the record_component_association
          (*note 4.3.1: S0109.) must necessarily be others => <>, as
          that is the only record_component_association (*note 4.3.1:
          S0109.) that does not require an associated component.

16/4
{<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>} {<AI05-0199-1AI05-0199-1>}
{<AI12-0046-1AI12-0046-1>} Each record_component_association other than
an others choice with a <> shall have at least one associated component,
and each needed component shall be associated with exactly one
record_component_association (*note 4.3.1: S0109.).  If a
record_component_association (*note 4.3.1: S0109.) with an expression
has two or more associated components, all of them shall be of the same
type, or all of them shall be of anonymous access types whose subtypes
statically match.  In addition, Legality Rules are enforced separately
for each associated component.

16.a/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>} These rules apply
          to an association with an others choice with an expression.
          An others choice with a <> can match zero components or
          several components with different types.

16.b/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>} Without these rules,
          there would be no way to know what was the expected type for
          the expression of the association.  Note that some of the
          rules do not apply to <> associations, as we do not need to
          resolve anything.  We allow others => <> to match no
          components as this is similar to array aggregates.  That means
          that (others => <>) always represents a default-initialized
          record or array value.

16.c/4
          Discussion: {<AI12-0046-1AI12-0046-1>} AI83-00244 also
          requires that the expression shall be legal for each
          associated component.  Ada 95 omitted this wording, as it was
          thought that all cases of difference had been eliminated.
          That probably was true, but Ada 2005 reintroduced cases where
          the types match but the legality differs.  For example:

16.c.1/4
               type Rec (D : access Integer) is record
                         F : access Integer;
               end record;

16.c.2/4
               ...
               X : aliased Integer;
               R : Rec := (D | F => X'Access); -- <Legal for D, illegal for F>

16.c.3/4
          There are additional ways for this to happen; because of cases
          like the above we require that the Legality Rules are checked
          individually for each associated component.

16.d
          Ramification: The rule that requires at least one associated
          component for each record_component_association implies that
          there can be no extra associations for components that don't
          exist in the composite value, or that are already determined
          by the ancestor expression or subtype of an
          extension_aggregate.

16.e
          The second part of the first sentence ensures that no needed
          components are left out, nor specified twice.

17/3
{<AI05-0220-1AI05-0220-1>} The value of a discriminant that governs a
variant_part <P> shall be given by a static expression, unless <P> is
nested within a variant <V> that is not selected by the discriminant
value governing the variant_part enclosing <V>.

17.a
          Ramification: This expression might either be given within the
          aggregate itself, or in a constraint on the parent subtype in
          a derived_type_definition for some ancestor of the type of the
          aggregate.

17.1/2
{<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>} A record_component_association for a
discriminant without a default_expression shall have an expression
rather than <>.

17.b/2
          Reason: A discriminant must always have a defined value, but
          <> means uninitialized for a discrete type unless the
          component has a default value.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

18
The evaluation of a record_aggregate consists of the evaluation of the
record_component_association_list (*note 4.3.1: S0108.).

19
For the evaluation of a record_component_association_list (*note 4.3.1:
S0108.), any per-object constraints (see *note 3.8::) for components
specified in the association list are elaborated and any expressions are
evaluated and converted to the subtype of the associated component.  Any
constraint elaborations and expression evaluations (and conversions)
occur in an arbitrary order, except that the expression for a
discriminant is evaluated (and converted) prior to the elaboration of
any per-object constraint that depends on it, which in turn occurs prior
to the evaluation and conversion of the expression for the component
with the per-object constraint.

19.a
          Ramification: The conversion in the first rule might raise
          Constraint_Error.

19.b
          Discussion: This check in the first rule presumably happened
          as part of the dependent compatibility check in Ada 83.

19.1/2
{<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>} For a record_component_association with
an expression, the expression defines the value for the associated
component(s).  For a record_component_association with <>, if the
component_declaration has a default_expression, that default_expression
defines the value for the associated component(s); otherwise, the
associated component(s) are initialized by default as for a stand-alone
object of the component subtype (see *note 3.3.1::).

20
The expression of a record_component_association is evaluated (and
converted) once for each associated component.

20.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} We don't need similar
          language for <>, as we're considering the value of <> for each
          individual component.  Each component has its own default
          expression or its own default initialization (they can be
          different for each component; the components even could have
          different types), and each one has to be evaluated.  So there
          is no need to repeat that.

     NOTES

21
     8  For a record_aggregate with positional associations, expressions
     specifying discriminant values appear first since the
     known_discriminant_part is given first in the declaration of the
     type; they have to be in the same order as in the
     known_discriminant_part.

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

31.a
          Null record aggregates may now be specified, via "(null
          record)".  However, this syntax is more useful for null record
          extensions in extension aggregates.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

31.b
          Various AIs have been incorporated (AI83-00189, AI83-00244,
          and AI83-00309).  In particular, Ada 83 did not explicitly
          disallow extra values in a record aggregate.  Now we do.

                        _Extensions to Ada 95_

31.c/2
          {<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>} <> can be used in place of an
          expression in a record_aggregate, default initializing the
          component.

31.d/2
          {<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>} Limited record_aggregates are
          allowed (since all kinds of aggregates can now be limited, see
          *note 4.3::).

                   _Incompatibilities With Ada 2005_

31.e/3
          {<AI05-0220-1AI05-0220-1>} Correction: Corrected wording so
          that the rule for discriminants governing variant_parts was
          not effectively circular.  The change makes a few aggregates
          where a nonstatic discriminant governs an empty variant_part
          illegal.  However, most Ada implementations already enforce
          some version of the new rule and already reject these
          aggregates.  So it is unlikely that any incompatibility will
          be noticed in practice.

                       _Extensions to Ada 2005_

31.f/3
          {<AI05-0016-1AI05-0016-1>} Correction: Fixed the wording so
          that others => <> can be used in place of null record.  This
          is needed to avoid a generic contract issue for generic
          bodies: we do not want to have to assume the worst to disallow
          others => <> if the record type <might> be a null record.

31.g/3
          {<AI05-0199-1AI05-0199-1>} Correction: We now allow multiple
          components with anonymous access types to be specified with a
          single component association.  This is to be consistent with
          the capabilities of a named access type.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2012_

31.h/4
          {<AI12-0046-1AI12-0046-1>} Corrigendum: We explicitly say that
          the Legality Rules have to be rechecked for each component
          individually.  This <seems> obvious, but as the AARM note
          *note 4.3.1:: (16.c) appeared to say that this was not
          necessary, and since we explicitly state this sort of thing
          for generic instances, it seemed better to be explicit.

4.3.2 Extension Aggregates
--------------------------

1
[An extension_aggregate specifies a value for a type that is a record
extension by specifying a value or subtype for an ancestor of the type,
followed by associations for any components not determined by the
ancestor_part.]

                     _Language Design Principles_

1.a
          The model underlying this syntax is that a record extension
          can also be viewed as a regular record type with an ancestor
          "prefix."  The record_component_association_list (*note 4.3.1:
          S0108.) corresponds to exactly what would be needed if there
          were no ancestor/prefix type.  The ancestor_part determines
          the value of the ancestor/prefix.

                               _Syntax_

2
     extension_aggregate ::=
         (ancestor_part with record_component_association_list)

3
     ancestor_part ::= expression | subtype_mark

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

4/2
{<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>} The expected type for an
extension_aggregate shall be a single type that is a record extension.
If the ancestor_part is an expression, it is expected to be of any
tagged type.

4.a
          Reason: We could have made the expected type <T'>Class where
          <T> is the ultimate ancestor of the type of the aggregate, or
          we could have made it even more specific than that.  However,
          if the overload resolution rules get too complicated, the
          implementation gets more difficult and it becomes harder to
          produce good error messages.

4.b/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} This rule is additive
          with the rule given in *note 4.3::.  That means the *note
          4.3:: rule must be satisfied even though it is always
          syntactically possible to tell that something is an extension
          aggregate rather than another kind of aggregate.
          Specifically, that means that an extension aggregate is
          ambiguous if the context is overloaded on array and/or
          untagged record types, even though those are never legal
          contexts for an extension aggregate.  Thus, this rule acts
          more like a Legality Rule than a Name Resolution Rule.

                           _Legality Rules_

5/3
{<AI95-00306-01AI95-00306-01>} {<AI05-0115-1AI05-0115-1>} If the
ancestor_part is a subtype_mark, it shall denote a specific tagged
subtype.  If the ancestor_part is an expression, it shall not be
dynamically tagged.  The type of the extension_aggregate shall be a
descendant of the type of the ancestor_part (the <ancestor> type),
through one or more record extensions (and no private extensions).  If
the ancestor_part is a subtype_mark, the view of the ancestor type from
which the type is descended (see *note 7.3.1::) shall not have unknown
discriminants.

5.a/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00306-01AI95-00306-01>} The expression cannot
          be dynamically tagged to prevent implicit "truncation" of a
          dynamically-tagged value to the specific ancestor type.  This
          is similar to the rules in *note 3.9.2::.

5.1/3
{<AI05-0067-1AI05-0067-1>} {<AI05-0244-1AI05-0244-1>} If the type of the
ancestor_part is limited and at least one component is needed in the
record_component_association_list, then the ancestor_part shall not be:

5.2/3
   * a call to a function with an unconstrained result subtype; nor

5.3/3
   * a parenthesized or qualified expression whose operand would violate
     this rule; nor

5.4/3
   * a conditional_expression having at least one <dependent_>expression
     that would violate this rule.

5.b/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0067-1AI05-0067-1>} {<AI05-0244-1AI05-0244-1>}
          This restriction simplifies implementation, because it ensures
          that either the caller or the callee knows the size to
          allocate for the aggregate.  Without this restriction,
          information from both caller and callee would have to be
          combined to determine the appropriate size.

5.c/3
          {<AI05-0067-1AI05-0067-1>} The (F(...)  with null record) case
          is exempt from this rule, because such extension aggregates
          are created internally for inherited functions returning
          null-extension types -- we can't very well make those illegal.
          Moreover, we don't need the rule for null extensions, as the
          result can simply use the space returned by the function call.

                          _Static Semantics_

6
For the record_component_association_list (*note 4.3.1: S0108.) of an
extension_aggregate (*note 4.3.2: S0111.), the only components <needed>
are those of the composite value defined by the aggregate that are not
inherited from the type of the ancestor_part (*note 4.3.2: S0112.), plus
any inherited discriminants if the ancestor_part (*note 4.3.2: S0112.)
is a subtype_mark (*note 3.2.2: S0028.) that denotes an unconstrained
subtype.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

7
For the evaluation of an extension_aggregate, the
record_component_association_list (*note 4.3.1: S0108.) is evaluated.
If the ancestor_part is an expression, it is also evaluated; if the
ancestor_part is a subtype_mark, the components of the value of the
aggregate not given by the record_component_association_list (*note
4.3.1: S0108.) are initialized by default as for an object of the
ancestor type.  Any implicit initializations or evaluations are
performed in an arbitrary order, except that the expression for a
discriminant is evaluated prior to any other evaluation or
initialization that depends on it.

8/3
{<AI05-0282-1AI05-0282-1>} If the type of the ancestor_part has
discriminants and the ancestor_part is not a subtype_mark that denotes
an unconstrained subtype, then a check is made that each discriminant
determined by the ancestor_part has the value specified for a
corresponding discriminant, if any, either in the
record_component_association_list (*note 4.3.1: S0108.), or in the
derived_type_definition for some ancestor of the type of the
extension_aggregate.  Constraint_Error is raised if this check fails.

8.a
          Ramification: Corresponding and specified discriminants are
          defined in *note 3.7::.  The rules requiring static
          compatibility between new discriminants of a derived type and
          the parent discriminant(s) they constrain ensure that at most
          one check is required per discriminant of the ancestor
          expression.

8.b/3
          {<AI05-0282-1AI05-0282-1>} The check needs to be made any time
          that the ancestor is constrained; the source of the
          discriminants or the constraints is irrelevant.

     NOTES

9
     9  If all components of the value of the extension_aggregate are
     determined by the ancestor_part, then the
     record_component_association_list (*note 4.3.1: S0108.) is required
     to be simply null record.

10
     10  If the ancestor_part is a subtype_mark, then its type can be
     abstract.  If its type is controlled, then as the last step of
     evaluating the aggregate, the Initialize procedure of the ancestor
     type is called, unless the Initialize procedure is abstract (see
     *note 7.6::).

13.a
          The extension aggregate syntax is new.

13.b/2
          {<AI95-00306-01AI95-00306-01>} Amendment Correction:
          Eliminated implicit "truncation" of a dynamically tagged value
          when it is used as an ancestor expression.  If an aggregate
          includes such an expression, it is illegal in Ada 2005.  Such
          aggregates are thought to be rare; the problem can be fixed
          with a type conversion to the appropriate specific type if it
          occurs.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

13.c/2
          {<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>} Limited extension_aggregates
          are allowed (since all kinds of aggregates can now be limited,
          see *note 4.3::).

                    _Inconsistencies With Ada 2005_

13.d/3
          {<AI05-0282-1AI05-0282-1>} Correction: An extension_aggregate
          with an ancestor_part whose discriminants are constrained and
          inherited might now raise Constraint_Error if the aggregate's
          type is constrained, while it was OK in Ada 2005.  In almost
          all cases, this will make no difference as the constraint will
          be checked by the immediately following use of the aggregate,
          but it is possible to compare such an aggregate for equality;
          in this case, no exception would be raised by Ada 2005, while
          Ada 2012 will raise Constraint_Error.  This should be very
          rare, and having the possibility means that the representation
          of the aggregate type has to be able to support unconstrained
          values of the type, even if the first subtype is constrained
          and no such objects can be created any other way.

                   _Incompatibilities With Ada 2005_

13.e/3
          {<AI05-0067-1AI05-0067-1>} Correction: A limited unconstrained
          ancestor expression that is a function call is now illegal
          unless the extension part is null.  Such aggregates were first
          introduced in Ada 2005 and are very complex to implement as
          they must be built-in-place with an unknown size; as such, it
          is unlikely that they are implemented correctly in existing
          compilers and thus not often used in existing code.

13.f/3
          {<AI05-0115-1AI05-0115-1>} Correction: An ancestor_part that
          is a subtype with unknown discriminants is now explicitly
          illegal.  Such a subtype should not be used to declare an
          object, and the ancestor_part acts like an object.  The Ada 95
          rules did not disallow such cases, so it is possible that code
          exists that uses such an ancestor, but this should be rare.

4.3.3 Array Aggregates
----------------------

1
[In an array_aggregate, a value is specified for each component of an
array, either positionally or by its index.]  For a
positional_array_aggregate, the components are given in increasing-index
order, with a final others, if any, representing any remaining
components.  For a named_array_aggregate, the components are identified
by the values covered by the discrete_choices.

                     _Language Design Principles_

1.a/1
          The rules in this subclause are based on terms and rules for
          discrete_choice_lists defined in *note 3.8.1::, "*note 3.8.1::
          Variant Parts and Discrete Choices".  For example, the
          requirements that others come last and stand alone are found
          there.

                               _Syntax_

2
     array_aggregate ::=
       positional_array_aggregate | named_array_aggregate

3/2
     {<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>} positional_array_aggregate ::=
         (expression, expression {, expression})
       | (expression {, expression}, others => expression)
       | (expression {, expression}, others => <>)

4
     named_array_aggregate ::=
         (array_component_association {, array_component_association})

5/2
     {<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>} array_component_association ::=
         discrete_choice_list => expression
       | discrete_choice_list => <>

6
An <n-dimensional> array_aggregate is one that is written as n levels of
nested array_aggregates (or at the bottom level, equivalent
string_literals).  For the multidimensional case (n >= 2) the
array_aggregates (or equivalent string_literals) at the n-1 lower levels
are called <subaggregate>s of the enclosing n-dimensional
array_aggregate.  The expressions of the bottom level subaggregates (or
of the array_aggregate itself if one-dimensional) are called the <array
component expressions> of the enclosing n-dimensional array_aggregate.

6.a
          Ramification: Subaggregates do not have a type.  They
          correspond to part of an array.  For example, with a matrix, a
          subaggregate would correspond to a single row of the matrix.
          The definition of "n-dimensional" array_aggregate applies to
          subaggregates as well as aggregates that have a type.

6.b
          To be honest: An <others choice> is the reserved word others
          as it appears in a positional_array_aggregate or as the
          discrete_choice of the discrete_choice_list in an
          array_component_association.

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

7/2
{<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>} The expected type for an array_aggregate
(that is not a subaggregate) shall be a single array type.  The
component type of this array type is the expected type for each array
component expression of the array_aggregate.

7.a/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>} We already
          require a single array or record type or record extension for
          an aggregate.  The above rule requiring a single array type
          (and similar ones for record and extension aggregates)
          resolves which kind of aggregate you have.

8
The expected type for each discrete_choice in any discrete_choice_list
of a named_array_aggregate is the type of the <corresponding index>; the
corresponding index for an array_aggregate that is not a subaggregate is
the first index of its type; for an (n-m)-dimensional subaggregate
within an array_aggregate of an n-dimensional type, the corresponding
index is the index in position m+1.

                           _Legality Rules_

9
An array_aggregate of an n-dimensional array type shall be written as an
n-dimensional array_aggregate.

9.a
          Ramification: In an m-dimensional array_aggregate [(including
          a subaggregate)], where m >= 2, each of the expressions has to
          be an (m-1)-dimensional subaggregate.

10
An others choice is allowed for an array_aggregate only if an
<applicable index constraint> applies to the array_aggregate.  [An
applicable index constraint is a constraint provided by certain contexts
where an array_aggregate is permitted that can be used to determine the
bounds of the array value specified by the aggregate.]  Each of the
following contexts (and none other) defines an applicable index
constraint:

11/4
   * {<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>} {<AI12-0157-1AI12-0157-1>} For an
     explicit_actual_parameter, an explicit_generic_actual_parameter,
     the expression of a return statement, the return expression of an
     expression function, the initialization expression in an
     object_declaration (*note 3.3.1: S0032.), or a default_expression
     (*note 3.7: S0063.) [(for a parameter or a component)], when the
     nominal subtype of the corresponding formal parameter, generic
     formal parameter, function return object, expression function
     return object, object, or component is a constrained array subtype,
     the applicable index constraint is the constraint of the subtype;

12
   * For the expression of an assignment_statement where the name
     denotes an array variable, the applicable index constraint is the
     constraint of the array variable;

12.a
          Reason: This case is broken out because the constraint comes
          from the actual subtype of the variable (which is always
          constrained) rather than its nominal subtype (which might be
          unconstrained).

13
   * For the operand of a qualified_expression whose subtype_mark
     denotes a constrained array subtype, the applicable index
     constraint is the constraint of the subtype;

14
   * For a component expression in an aggregate, if the component's
     nominal subtype is a constrained array subtype, the applicable
     index constraint is the constraint of the subtype;

14.a
          Discussion: Here, the array_aggregate with others is being
          used within a larger aggregate.

15/3
   * {<AI05-0147-1AI05-0147-1>} For a parenthesized expression, the
     applicable index constraint is that, if any, defined for the
     expression;

15.a
          Discussion: RM83 omitted this case, presumably as an
          oversight.  We want to minimize situations where an expression
          becomes illegal if parenthesized.

15.1/3
   * {<AI05-0147-1AI05-0147-1>} For a conditional_expression, the
     applicable index constraint for each <dependent_>expression is
     that, if any, defined for the conditional_expression.

16
The applicable index constraint <applies> to an array_aggregate that
appears in such a context, as well as to any subaggregates thereof.  In
the case of an explicit_actual_parameter (or default_expression) for a
call on a generic formal subprogram, no applicable index constraint is
defined.

16.a
          Reason: This avoids generic contract model problems, because
          only mode conformance is required when matching actual
          subprograms with generic formal subprograms.

17/3
{<AI05-0153-3AI05-0153-3>} The discrete_choice_list of an
array_component_association is allowed to have a discrete_choice that is
a nonstatic choice_expression or that is a subtype_indication or range
that defines a nonstatic or null range, only if it is the single
discrete_choice of its discrete_choice_list, and there is only one
array_component_association in the array_aggregate.

17.a
          Discussion: We now allow a nonstatic others choice even if
          there are other array component expressions as well.

18/3
{<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} In a named_array_aggregate where all
discrete_choices are static, no two discrete_choices are allowed to
cover the same value (see *note 3.8.1::); if there is no others choice,
the discrete_choices taken together shall exactly cover a contiguous
sequence of values of the corresponding index type.

18.a
          Ramification: This implies that each component must be
          specified exactly once.  See AI83-309.

18.b/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} This has to apply even if
          there is only one static discrete_choice; a single choice has
          to represent a contiguous range (a subtype_mark with a static
          predicate might represent a discontiguous set of values).  If
          the (single) choice is a dynamic subtype, we don't need to
          make this check as no predicates are allowed (see *note
          3.2.4::) and thus the range has to be contiguous.

19
A bottom level subaggregate of a multidimensional array_aggregate of a
given array type is allowed to be a string_literal only if the component
type of the array type is a character type; each character of such a
string_literal shall correspond to a defining_character_literal of the
component type.

                          _Static Semantics_

20
A subaggregate that is a string_literal is equivalent to one that is a
positional_array_aggregate of the same length, with each expression
being the character_literal for the corresponding character of the
string_literal.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

21
The evaluation of an array_aggregate of a given array type proceeds in
two steps:

22
     1.  Any discrete_choices of this aggregate and of its subaggregates
     are evaluated in an arbitrary order, and converted to the
     corresponding index type; 

23
     2.  The array component expressions of the aggregate are evaluated
     in an arbitrary order and their values are converted to the
     component subtype of the array type; an array component expression
     is evaluated once for each associated component.  

23.a
          Ramification: Subaggregates are not separately evaluated.  The
          conversion of the value of the component expressions to the
          component subtype might raise Constraint_Error.

23.b/3
          {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} We don't need to say that <> is
          evaluated once for each component, as <> means that each
          component is <initialized by default>.  That means that the
          actions defined for default initialization are applied to each
          component individually.  Initializing one component by default
          and copying that to the others would be an incorrect
          implementation in general (although it might be OK if the
          default initialization is known to be constant).

23.1/4
{<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>} {<AI12-0084-1AI12-0084-1>} Each
expression in an array_component_association defines the value for the
associated component(s).  For an array_component_association with <>,
the associated component(s) are initialized to the
Default_Component_Value of the array type if this aspect has been
specified for the array type; otherwise, they are initialized by default
as for a stand-alone object of the component subtype (see *note
3.3.1::).

24
The bounds of the index range of an array_aggregate [(including a
subaggregate)] are determined as follows:

25
   * For an array_aggregate with an others choice, the bounds are those
     of the corresponding index range from the applicable index
     constraint;

26
   * For a positional_array_aggregate [(or equivalent string_literal)]
     without an others choice, the lower bound is that of the
     corresponding index range in the applicable index constraint, if
     defined, or that of the corresponding index subtype, if not; in
     either case, the upper bound is determined from the lower bound and
     the number of expressions [(or the length of the string_literal)];

27
   * For a named_array_aggregate without an others choice, the bounds
     are determined by the smallest and largest index values covered by
     any discrete_choice_list.

27.a
          Reason: We don't need to say that each index value has to be
          covered exactly once, since that is a ramification of the
          general rule on aggregates that each component's value has to
          be specified exactly once.

28
For an array_aggregate, a check is made that the index range defined by
its bounds is compatible with the corresponding index subtype.

28.a
          Discussion: In RM83, this was phrased more explicitly, but
          once we define "compatibility" between a range and a subtype,
          it seems to make sense to take advantage of that definition.

28.b
          Ramification: The definition of compatibility handles the
          special case of a null range, which is always compatible with
          a subtype.  See AI83-00313.

29/3
{<AI05-0037-1AI05-0037-1>} For an array_aggregate with an others choice,
a check is made that no expression or <> is specified for an index value
outside the bounds determined by the applicable index constraint.

29.a
          Discussion: RM83 omitted this case, apparently through an
          oversight.  AI83-00309 defines this as a dynamic check, even
          though other Ada 83 rules ensured that this check could be
          performed statically.  We now allow an others choice to be
          dynamic, even if it is not the only choice, so this check now
          needs to be dynamic, in some cases.  Also, within a generic
          unit, this would be a nonstatic check in some cases.

30
For a multidimensional array_aggregate, a check is made that all
subaggregates that correspond to the same index have the same bounds.

30.a
          Ramification: No array bounds "sliding" is performed on
          subaggregates.

30.b
          Reason: If sliding were performed, it would not be obvious
          which subaggregate would determine the bounds of the
          corresponding index.

31
The exception Constraint_Error is raised if any of the above checks
fail.

     NOTES

32/3
     11  {<AI05-0004-1AI05-0004-1>} In an array_aggregate, positional
     notation may only be used with two or more expressions; a single
     expression in parentheses is interpreted as a parenthesized
     expression.  A named_array_aggregate, such as (1 => X), may be used
     to specify an array with a single component.

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 83_

45.a.1/1
          In Ada 95, no applicable index constraint is defined for a
          parameter in a call to a generic formal subprogram; thus, some
          aggregates that are legal in Ada 83 are illegal in Ada 95.
          For example:

45.a.2/1
               subtype S3 is String (1 .. 3);
               ...
               generic
                  with function F (The_S3 : in S3) return Integer;
               package Gp is
                  I : constant Integer := F ((1 => '!', others => '?'));
                      -- <The aggregate is legal in Ada 83, illegal in Ada 95.>
               end Gp;

45.a.3/1
          This change eliminates generic contract model problems.

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

45.a
          We now allow "named with others" aggregates in all contexts
          where there is an applicable index constraint, effectively
          eliminating what was RM83-4.3.2(6).  Sliding never occurs on
          an aggregate with others, because its bounds come from the
          applicable index constraint, and therefore already match the
          bounds of the target.

45.b
          The legality of an others choice is no longer affected by the
          staticness of the applicable index constraint.  This
          substantially simplifies several rules, while being slightly
          more flexible for the user.  It obviates the rulings of
          AI83-00244 and AI83-00310, while taking advantage of the
          dynamic nature of the "extra values" check required by
          AI83-00309.

45.c
          Named array aggregates are permitted even if the index type is
          descended from a formal scalar type.  See *note 4.9:: and
          AI83-00190.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

45.d
          We now separate named and positional array aggregate syntax,
          since, unlike other aggregates, named and positional
          associations cannot be mixed in array aggregates (except that
          an others choice is allowed in a positional array aggregate).

45.e
          We have also reorganized the presentation to handle
          multidimensional and one-dimensional aggregates more
          uniformly, and to incorporate the rulings of AI83-00019,
          AI83-00309, etc.

                        _Extensions to Ada 95_

45.f/2
          {<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>} <> can be used in place of an
          expression in an array_aggregate, default-initializing the
          component.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

45.g/2
          {<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>} Limited array_aggregates are
          allowed (since all kinds of aggregates can now be limited, see
          *note 4.3::).

45.h/2
          {<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>} Fixed aggregates to use the
          subtype of the return object of a function, rather than the
          result subtype, because they can be different for an
          extended_return_statement, and we want to use the subtype
          that's explicitly in the code at the point of the expression.

                    _Inconsistencies With Ada 2005_

45.i/3
          {<AI05-0037-1AI05-0037-1>} Correction: Fixed so the check for
          components outside of the array applies to both expressions
          and <>s.  As <> was a new feature in Ada 2005, there should be
          little existing code that depends on a <> component that is
          specified outside of the array (and that is nonsense anyway,
          that a compiler is likely to detect even without an explicit
          language rule disallowing it).

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

45.j/3
          {<AI05-0147-1AI05-0147-1>} Added a definition of the
          applicable index constraint for conditional_expressions (which
          are new).

                    _Inconsistencies With Ada 2012_

45.k/4
          {<AI05-0084-1AI05-0084-1>} Corrigendum: Fixed so that the
          Default_Component_Value (if any) is used to initialize
          components specified with <>.  This is what users would
          expect, and all Ada 2012 implementation known at the time of
          this writing initialize with the Default_Component_Value, so
          it is unlikely that anyone will be affected by this
          inconsistency.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2012_

45.l/4
          {<AI05-0157-1AI05-0157-1>} Corrigendum: Added expression
          functions to the contexts that provide an applicable index
          constraint, because expression functions are handled
          separately in static semantics and legality rules.

{<AI05-0147-1AI05-0147-1>} {<AI05-0158-1AI05-0158-1>}
{<AI05-0176-1AI05-0176-1>} An <expression> is a formula that defines the
computation or retrieval of a value.  In this International Standard,
the term "expression" refers to a construct of the syntactic category
expression or of any of the following categories: choice_expression,
choice_relation, relation, simple_expression, term, factor, primary,
conditional_expression, quantified_expression.  

                               _Syntax_

     expression ::=
          relation {and relation}    | relation {and then relation}

     simple_expression ::= [unary_adding_operator] term {
     binary_adding_operator term}

5
     term ::= factor {multiplying_operator factor}

6
     factor ::= primary [** primary] | abs primary | not primary

     {<AI05-0176-1AI05-0176-1>} primary ::=
        numeric_literal | null | string_literal | aggregate
      | name | allocator | (expression)
      | (conditional_expression) | (quantified_expression)

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

8
A name used as a primary shall resolve to denote an object or a value.

8.a
          Discussion: This replaces RM83-4.4(3).  We don't need to
          mention named numbers explicitly, because the name of a named
          number denotes a value.  We don't need to mention attributes
          explicitly, because attributes now denote (rather than yield)
          values in general.  Also, the new wording allows attributes
          that denote objects, which should always have been allowed (in
          case the implementation chose to have such a thing).

8.b
          Reason: It might seem odd that this is an overload resolution
          rule, but it is relevant during overload resolution.  For
          example, it helps ensure that a primary that consists of only
          the identifier of a parameterless function is interpreted as a
          function_call rather than directly as a direct_name.

                          _Static Semantics_

9
Each expression has a type; it specifies the computation or retrieval of
a value of that type.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

10
The value of a primary that is a name denoting an object is the value of
the object.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

11
For the evaluation of a primary that is a name denoting an object of an
unconstrained numeric subtype, if the value of the object is outside the
base range of its type, the implementation may either raise
Constraint_Error or return the value of the object.

11.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} This means that if
          extra-range intermediates are used to hold the value of an
          object of an unconstrained numeric subtype, a Constraint_Error
          can be raised on a read of the object, rather than only on an
          assignment to it.  Similarly, it means that computing the
          value of an object of such a subtype can be deferred until the
          first read of the object (presuming no side effects other than
          failing an Overflow_Check are possible).  This permission is
          over and above that provided by subclause *note 11.6::, since
          this allows the Constraint_Error to move to a different
          handler.

11.b
          Reason: This permission is intended to allow extra-range
          registers to be used efficiently to hold parameters and local
          variables, even if they might need to be transferred into
          smaller registers for performing certain predefined
          operations.

11.c
          Discussion: There is no need to mention other kinds of
          primarys, since any Constraint_Error to be raised can be
          "charged" to the evaluation of the particular kind of primary.

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

15.a
          In Ada 83, out parameters and their nondiscriminant
          subcomponents are not allowed as primaries.  These
          restrictions are eliminated in Ada 95.

15.b
          In various contexts throughout the language where Ada 83
          syntax rules had simple_expression, the corresponding Ada 95
          syntax rule has expression instead.  This reflects the
          inclusion of modular integer types, which makes the logical
          operators "and", "or", and "xor" more useful in expressions of
          an integer type.  Requiring parentheses to use these operators
          in such contexts seemed unnecessary and potentially confusing.
          Note that the bounds of a range still have to be specified by
          simple_expressions, since otherwise expressions involving
          membership tests might be ambiguous.  Essentially, the
          operation ".."  is of higher precedence than the logical
          operators, and hence uses of logical operators still have to
          be parenthesized when used in a bound of a range.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

15.c/3
          {<AI05-0003-1AI05-0003-1>} Moved qualified_expression from
          primary to name (see *note 4.1::).  This allows the use of
          qualified_expressions in more places.

15.d/3
          {<AI05-0147-1AI05-0147-1>} {<AI05-0176-1AI05-0176-1>} Added
          conditional_expression and quantified_expression to primary.

15.e/3
          {<AI05-0158-1AI05-0158-1>} Expanded membership test syntax
          (see *note 4.5.2::).

                    _Inconsistencies With Ada 2012_

15.f/4
          {<AI12-0039-1AI12-0039-1>} Corrigendum: Revised membership
          syntax to eliminate ambiguities.  In some cases, previously
          ambiguous membership expressions will now have an unambiguous
          meaning.  If an Ada 2012 implementation chose the "wrong"
          meaning, the expression could silently change meaning.
          Virtually all such expressions will become illegal because of
          type mismatches (and thus be incompatible, not inconsistent).
          However, if the choices are all of a Boolean type, resolution
          might succeed.  For instance, A in B | C and D now always
          means (A in B | C) and D, but the original Ada 2012 syntax
          would have allowed it to mean A in B | (C and D). If a
          compiler allowed the expression and interpreted it as the
          latter, the meaning of the expression would silently change.
          We expect this to be extremely rare as membership operations
          on Boolean types are unlikely (and this can happen only in
          code written for Ada 2012).

                   _Incompatibilities With Ada 2012_

15.g/4
          {<AI12-0039-1AI12-0039-1>} Corrigendum: The revised membership
          syntax will require parentheses in membership_choice_lists in
          some cases where the Ada 2012 grammar did not require them.
          For instance, A in B in C | D is now illegal.  However, such
          expressions can be interpreted in multiple ways (either A in
          (B in C) | D or A in (B in C | D) for this example), so using
          such expressions is likely to be dangerous (another compiler
          might interpret the expression differently).  In addition, all
          such expressions occur only in Ada 2012 syntax; so they should
          be rare.

4.5 Operators and Expression Evaluation
=======================================

1
[ The language defines the following six categories of operators (given
in order of increasing precedence).  The corresponding operator_symbols,
and only those, can be used as designators in declarations of functions
for user-defined operators.  See *note 6.6::, "*note 6.6:: Overloading
of Operators".]

                               _Syntax_

2
     logical_operator ::=     and | or  | xor

3
     relational_operator ::=     =   | /=  | <   | <= | > | >=

4
     binary_adding_operator ::=     +   | -   | &

5
     unary_adding_operator ::=     +   | -

6
     multiplying_operator ::=     *   | /   | mod | rem

7
     highest_precedence_operator ::=     **  | abs | not

7.a
          Discussion: Some of the above syntactic categories are not
          used in other syntax rules.  They are just used for
          classification.  The others are used for both classification
          and parsing.

                          _Static Semantics_

8
For a sequence of operators of the same precedence level, the operators
are associated with their operands in textual order from left to right.
Parentheses can be used to impose specific associations.

8.a
          Discussion: The left-associativity is not directly inherent in
          the grammar of *note 4.4::, though in *note 1.1.4:: the
          definition of the metasymbols {} implies left associativity.
          So this could be seen as redundant, depending on how literally
          one interprets the definition of the {} metasymbols.

8.b
          See the Implementation Permissions below regarding flexibility
          in reassociating operators of the same precedence.

9
For each form of type definition, certain of the above operators are
<predefined>; that is, they are implicitly declared immediately after
the type definition.  For each such implicit operator declaration, the
parameters are called Left and Right for <binary> operators; the single
parameter is called Right for <unary> operators.  [An expression of the
form X op Y, where op is a binary operator, is equivalent to a
function_call of the form "op"(X, Y). An expression of the form op Y,
where op is a unary operator, is equivalent to a function_call of the
form "op"(Y). The predefined operators and their effects are described
in subclauses *note 4.5.1:: through *note 4.5.6::.]

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

10
[ The predefined operations on integer types either yield the
mathematically correct result or raise the exception Constraint_Error.
For implementations that support the Numerics Annex, the predefined
operations on real types yield results whose accuracy is defined in
*note Annex G::, or raise the exception Constraint_Error.  ]

10.a
          To be honest: Predefined operations on real types can
          "silently" give wrong results when the Machine_Overflows
          attribute is false, and the computation overflows.

                     _Implementation Requirements_

11
The implementation of a predefined operator that delivers a result of an
integer or fixed point type may raise Constraint_Error only if the
result is outside the base range of the result type.

12
The implementation of a predefined operator that delivers a result of a
floating point type may raise Constraint_Error only if the result is
outside the safe range of the result type.

12.a
          To be honest: An exception is made for exponentiation by a
          negative exponent in *note 4.5.6::.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

13
For a sequence of predefined operators of the same precedence level (and
in the absence of parentheses imposing a specific association), an
implementation may impose any association of the operators with operands
so long as the result produced is an allowed result for the
left-to-right association, but ignoring the potential for failure of
language-defined checks in either the left-to-right or chosen order of
association.

13.a
          Discussion: Note that the permission to reassociate the
          operands in any way subject to producing a result allowed for
          the left-to-right association is not much help for most
          floating point operators, since reassociation may introduce
          significantly different round-off errors, delivering a result
          that is outside the model interval for the left-to-right
          association.  Similar problems arise for division with integer
          or fixed point operands.

13.b
          Note that this permission does not apply to user-defined
          operators.

     NOTES

14
     12  The two operands of an expression of the form X op Y, where op
     is a binary operator, are evaluated in an arbitrary order, as for
     any function_call (see *note 6.4::).

                              _Examples_

15
<Examples of precedence:>

16
     not Sunny or Warm    --<  same as (not Sunny) or Warm>
     X > 4.0 and Y > 0.0  --<  same as (X > 4.0) and (Y > 0.0)>

17
     -4.0*A**2            --<  same as -(4.0 * (A**2))>
     abs(1 + A) + B       --<  same as (abs (1 + A)) + B>
     Y**(-3)              --<  parentheses are necessary>
     A / B * C            --<  same as (A/B)*C>
     A + (B + C)          --<  evaluate B + C before adding it to A >

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

17.a
          We don't give a detailed definition of precedence, since it is
          all implicit in the syntax rules anyway.

17.b
          The permission to reassociate is moved here from RM83-11.6(5),
          so it is closer to the rules defining operator association.

4.5.1 Logical Operators and Short-circuit Control Forms
-------------------------------------------------------

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

1
An expression consisting of two relations connected by and then or or
else (a <short-circuit control form>) shall resolve to be of some
boolean type; the expected type for both relations is that same boolean
type.

1.a
          Reason: This rule is written this way so that overload
          resolution treats the two operands symmetrically; the
          resolution of overloading present in either one can benefit
          from the resolution of the other.  Furthermore, the type
          expected by context can help.

                          _Static Semantics_

2
The following logical operators are predefined for every boolean type
<T>, for every modular type <T>, and for every one-dimensional array
type <T> whose component type is a boolean type: 

3
     function "and"(Left, Right : <T>) return <T>
     function "or" (Left, Right : <T>) return <T>
     function "xor"(Left, Right : <T>) return <T>

3.a/2
          <This paragraph was deleted.>{<AI95-00145-01AI95-00145-01>}

3.b/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00145-01AI95-00145-01>} For these
          operators, we are talking about the type without any
          (interesting) subtype, and not some subtype with a constraint
          or exclusion.  Since it's possible that there is no name for
          the "uninteresting" subtype, we denote the type with an
          italicized <T>.  This applies to the italicized <T> in many
          other predefined operators and attributes as well.

3.c/2
          {<AI95-00145-01AI95-00145-01>} In many cases, there is a
          subtype with the correct properties available.  The italicized
          <T> means:

3.d/2
             * <T>'Base, for scalars;

3.e/2
             * the first subtype of <T>, for tagged types;

3.f/2
             * a subtype of the type <T> without any constraint or null
               exclusion, in other cases.

3.g/2
          Note that "without a constraint" is not the same as
          unconstrained.  For instance, a record type with no
          discriminant part is considered constrained; no subtype of it
          has a constraint, but the subtype is still constrained.

3.h/2
          Thus, the last case often is the same as the first subtype of
          <T>, but that isn't the case for constrained array types
          (where the correct subtype is unconstrained) and for access
          types with a null_exclusion (where the correct subtype does
          not exclude null).

3.i/2
          This italicized <T> is used for defining operators and
          attributes of the language.  The meaning is intended to be as
          described here.

4
For boolean types, the predefined logical operators and, or, and xor
perform the conventional operations of conjunction, inclusive
disjunction, and exclusive disjunction, respectively.

5
For modular types, the predefined logical operators are defined on a
bit-by-bit basis, using the binary representation of the value of the
operands to yield a binary representation for the result, where zero
represents False and one represents True.  If this result is outside the
base range of the type, a final subtraction by the modulus is performed
to bring the result into the base range of the type.

6
The logical operators on arrays are performed on a
component-by-component basis on matching components (as for equality --
see *note 4.5.2::), using the predefined logical operator for the
component type.  The bounds of the resulting array are those of the left
operand.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

7
The short-circuit control forms and then and or else deliver the same
result as the corresponding predefined and and or operators for boolean
types, except that the left operand is always evaluated first, and the
right operand is not evaluated if the value of the left operand
determines the result.

8
For the logical operators on arrays, a check is made that for each
component of the left operand there is a matching component of the right
operand, and vice versa.  Also, a check is made that each component of
the result belongs to the component subtype.  The exception
Constraint_Error is raised if either of the above checks fails.

8.a
          Discussion: The check against the component subtype is per
          AI83-00535.

     NOTES

9
     13  The conventional meaning of the logical operators is given by
     the following truth table:

10
               A     B   (A and B)   (A or B)   (A xor B)

             True     True     True     True     False
             True     False    False    True     True
             False    True     False    True     True
             False    False    False    False    False

                              _Examples_

4.5.2 Relational Operators and Membership Tests
-----------------------------------------------

1
[ The <equality operators> = (equals) and /= (not equals) are predefined
for nonlimited types.  The other relational_operators are the <ordering
operators> < (less than), <= (less than or equal), > (greater than), and
>= (greater than or equal).  The ordering operators are predefined for
scalar types, and for <discrete array types>, that is, one-dimensional
array types whose components are of a discrete type.

1.a
          Ramification: The equality operators are not defined for
          <every> nonlimited type -- see below for the exact rule.

2/3
{<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} {<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>} A <membership
test>, using in or not in, determines whether or not a value belongs to
any given subtype or range, is equal to any given value, has a tag that
identifies a type that is covered by a given type, or is convertible to
and has an accessibility level appropriate for a given access type.
Membership tests are allowed for all types.]

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

3/3
{<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} {<AI05-0158-1AI05-0158-1>} The <tested
type> of a membership test is determined by the membership_choices of
the membership_choice_list.  Either all membership_choices of the
membership_choice_list shall resolve to the same type, which is the
tested type; or each membership_choice shall be of an elementary type,
and the tested type shall be covered by each of these elementary types.

3.1/4
{<AI05-0158-1AI05-0158-1>} {<AI12-0039-1AI12-0039-1>} If the tested type
is tagged, then the <tested_>simple_expression shall resolve to be of a
type that is convertible (see *note 4.6::) to the tested type; if
untagged, the expected type for the <tested_>simple_expression is the
tested type.  The expected type of a <choice_>simple_expression in a
membership_choice, and of a simple_expression of a range in a
membership_choice, is the tested type of the membership operation.

3.a/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} The part of the rule
          for untagged types is stated in a way that ensures that
          operands like a string literal are still legal as operands of
          a membership test.

3.b/4
          {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} {<AI12-0039-1AI12-0039-1>} The
          significance of "is convertible to" is that we allow the
          <tested_>simple_expression to be of any class-wide type that
          could be converted to the tested type, not just the one rooted
          at the tested type.  This includes any class-wide type that
          covers the tested type, along with class-wide interfaces in
          some cases.

3.c/3
          {<AI05-0158-1AI05-0158-1>} The special rule for determining
          the tested type for elementary types is to allow numeric
          literals in membership_choice_lists.  Without the rule, A in B
          | 1 would be illegal as B and 1 would have different types
          (the literal having type <universal integer>).

                           _Legality Rules_

4/4
{<AI12-0039-1AI12-0039-1>} For a membership test, if the
<tested_>simple_expression is of a tagged class-wide type, then the
tested type shall be (visibly) tagged.

4.a
          Ramification: Untagged types covered by the tagged class-wide
          type are not permitted.  Such types can exist if they are
          descendants of a private type whose full type is tagged.  This
          rule is intended to avoid confusion since such derivatives
          don't have their "own" tag, and hence are indistinguishable
          from one another at run time once converted to a covering
          class-wide type.

4.1/4
{<AI05-0158-1AI05-0158-1>} {<AI12-0039-1AI12-0039-1>} If a membership
test includes one or more <choice_>simple_expressions and the tested
type of the membership test is limited, then the tested type of the
membership test shall have a visible primitive equality operator.

4.b/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0158-1AI05-0158-1>} A visible equality operator
          is required in order to avoid breaking privacy; that is, we
          don't want to depend on a hidden equality operator.

                          _Static Semantics_

5
The result type of a membership test is the predefined type Boolean.

6
The equality operators are predefined for every specific type <T> that
is not limited, and not an anonymous access type, with the following
specifications:

7
     function "=" (Left, Right : <T>) return Boolean
     function "/="(Left, Right : <T>) return Boolean

7.1/2
{<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} The following additional equality
operators for the <universal_access> type are declared in package
Standard for use with anonymous access types:

7.2/2
     function "=" (Left, Right : <universal_access>) return Boolean
     function "/="(Left, Right : <universal_access>) return Boolean

8
The ordering operators are predefined for every specific scalar type
<T>, and for every discrete array type <T>, with the following
specifications:

9
     function "<" (Left, Right : <T>) return Boolean
     function "<="(Left, Right : <T>) return Boolean
     function ">" (Left, Right : <T>) return Boolean
     function ">="(Left, Right : <T>) return Boolean

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

9.1/2
{<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} {<AI95-00420-01AI95-00420-01>} At least
one of the operands of an equality operator for <universal_access> shall
be of a specific anonymous access type.  Unless the predefined equality
operator is identified using an expanded name with prefix denoting the
package Standard, neither operand shall be of an access-to-object type
whose designated type is <D> or <D>'Class, where <D> has a user-defined
primitive equality operator such that:

9.2/2
   * its result type is Boolean;

9.3/3
   * {<AI05-0020-1AI05-0020-1>} it is declared immediately within the
     same declaration list as <D> or any partial or incomplete view of
     <D>; and

9.4/2
   * at least one of its operands is an access parameter with designated
     type <D>.

9.a/2
          Reason: The first sentence prevents compatibility problems by
          ensuring that these operators are not used for named access
          types.  Also, universal access types do not count for the
          purposes of this rule.  Otherwise, equality expressions like
          (X = null) would be ambiguous for normal access types.

9.b/2
          The rest of the rule makes it possible to call (including a
          dispatching call) user-defined "=" operators for anonymous
          access-to-object types (they'd be hidden otherwise), and to
          write user-defined "=" operations for anonymous access types
          (by making it possible to see the universal operator using the
          Standard prefix).

9.c/2
          Ramification: We don't need a similar rule for anonymous
          access-to-subprogram types because they can't be primitive for
          any type.  Note that any nonprimitive user-defined equality
          operators still are hidden by the universal operators; they'll
          have to be called with a package prefix, but they are likely
          to be very uncommon.

                           _Legality Rules_

9.5/2
{<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} At least one of the operands of the
equality operators for <universal_access> shall be of type
<universal_access>, or both shall be of access-to-object types, or both
shall be of access-to-subprogram types.  Further:

9.6/2
   * When both are of access-to-object types, the designated types shall
     be the same or one shall cover the other, and if the designated
     types are elementary or array types, then the designated subtypes
     shall statically match;

9.7/2
   * When both are of access-to-subprogram types, the designated
     profiles shall be subtype conformant.

9.d/2
          Reason: We don't want to allow completely arbitrary
          comparisons, as we don't want to insist that all access types
          are represented in ways that are convertible to one another.
          For instance, a compiler could use completely separate address
          spaces or incompatible representations.  Instead, we allow
          compares if there exists an access parameter to which both
          operands could be converted.  Since the user could write such
          an subprogram, and any reasonable meaning for "=" would allow
          using it in such a subprogram, this doesn't impose any further
          restrictions on Ada implementations.

9.8/4
{<AI05-0123-1AI05-0123-1>} {<AI12-0101-1AI12-0101-1>} If the profile of
an explicitly declared primitive equality operator of an untagged record
type is type conformant with that of the corresponding predefined
equality operator, the declaration shall occur before the type is
frozen.  In addition to the places where Legality Rules normally apply
(see *note 12.3::), this rule applies also in the private part of an
instance of a generic unit.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

10
For discrete types, the predefined relational operators are defined in
terms of corresponding mathematical operations on the position numbers
of the values of the operands.

11
For real types, the predefined relational operators are defined in terms
of the corresponding mathematical operations on the values of the
operands, subject to the accuracy of the type.

11.a
          Ramification: For floating point types, the results of
          comparing <nearly> equal values depends on the accuracy of the
          implementation (see *note G.2.1::, "*note G.2.1:: Model of
          Floating Point Arithmetic" for implementations that support
          the Numerics Annex).

11.b
          Implementation Note: On a machine with signed zeros, if the
          generated code generates both plus zero and minus zero, plus
          and minus zero must be equal by the predefined equality
          operators.

12
Two access-to-object values are equal if they designate the same object,
or if both are equal to the null value of the access type.

13
Two access-to-subprogram values are equal if they are the result of the
same evaluation of an Access attribute_reference, or if both are equal
to the null value of the access type.  Two access-to-subprogram values
are unequal if they designate different subprograms.  [It is unspecified
whether two access values that designate the same subprogram but are the
result of distinct evaluations of Access attribute_references are equal
or unequal.]

13.a
          Reason: This allows each Access attribute_reference for a
          subprogram to designate a distinct "wrapper" subprogram if
          necessary to support an indirect call.

14/3
{<AI05-0123-1AI05-0123-1>} For a type extension, predefined equality is
defined in terms of the primitive [(possibly user-defined)] equals
operator for the parent type and for any components that have a record
type in the extension part, and predefined equality for any other
components not inherited from the parent type.

14.a
          Ramification: Two values of a type extension are not equal if
          there is a variant_part in the extension part and the two
          values have different variants present.  This is a
          ramification of the requirement that a discriminant governing
          such a variant_part has to be a "new" discriminant, and so has
          to be equal in the two values for the values to be equal.
          Note that variant_parts in the parent part need not match if
          the primitive equals operator for the parent type considers
          them equal.

14.b/2
          {<AI95-00349-01AI95-00349-01>} The full type extension's
          operation is used for a private extension.  This follows as
          only full types have parent types; the type specified in a
          private extension is an ancestor, but not necessarily the
          parent type.  For instance, in:

14.c/2
               with Pak1;
               package Pak2 is
                  type Typ3 is new Pak1.Typ1 with private;
               private
                  type Typ3 is new Pak1.Typ2 with null record;
               end Pak2;
  

14.d/2
          the parent type is Pak1.Typ2, not Pak1.Typ1, and the equality
          operator of Pak1.Typ2 is used to create predefined equality
          for Typ3.

14.1/3
{<AI05-0123-1AI05-0123-1>} For a derived type whose parent is an
untagged record type, predefined equality is defined in terms of the
primitive (possibly user-defined) equals operator of the parent type.

14.e/3
          Reason: This prevents predefined equality from reemerging in
          generic units for untagged record types.  For other uses the
          primitive equality is inherited and the inherited routine is
          primitive.

15/3
{<AI05-0123-1AI05-0123-1>} For a private type, if its full type is a
record type, predefined equality is defined in terms of the primitive
equals operator of the full type; otherwise, predefined equality for the
private type is that of its full type.

16
For other composite types, the predefined equality operators [(and
certain other predefined operations on composite types -- see *note
4.5.1:: and *note 4.6::)] are defined in terms of the corresponding
operation on <matching components>, defined as follows:

17
   * For two composite objects or values of the same non-array type,
     matching components are those that correspond to the same
     component_declaration or discriminant_specification;

18
   * For two one-dimensional arrays of the same type, matching
     components are those (if any) whose index values match in the
     following sense: the lower bounds of the index ranges are defined
     to match, and the successors of matching indices are defined to
     match;

19
   * For two multidimensional arrays of the same type, matching
     components are those whose index values match in successive index
     positions.

20
The analogous definitions apply if the types of the two objects or
values are convertible, rather than being the same.

20.a
          Discussion: Ada 83 seems to omit this part of the definition,
          though it is used in array type conversions.  See *note 4.6::.

21
Given the above definition of matching components, the result of the
predefined equals operator for composite types (other than for those
composite types covered earlier) is defined as follows:

22
   * If there are no components, the result is defined to be True;

23
   * If there are unmatched components, the result is defined to be
     False;

24/3
   * {<AI05-0123-1AI05-0123-1>} Otherwise, the result is defined in
     terms of the primitive equals operator for any matching components
     that are records, and the predefined equals for any other matching
     components.

24.a/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0123-1AI05-0123-1>} This asymmetry between
          components with and without a record type is necessary to
          preserve most upward compatibility and corresponds with the
          corresponding situation with generics, where the predefined
          operations "reemerge" in a generic for non-record types, but
          do not for record types.  Also, only tagged types support
          user-defined assignment (see *note 7.6::), so only tagged
          types can fully handle levels of indirection in the
          implementation of the type.  For untagged types, one reason
          for a user-defined equals operator might be to allow values
          with different bounds or discriminants to compare equal in
          certain cases.  When such values are matching components, the
          bounds or discriminants will necessarily match anyway if the
          discriminants of the enclosing values match.

24.b
          Ramification: Two null arrays of the same type are always
          equal; two null records of the same type are always equal.

24.c/3
          {<AI05-0123-1AI05-0123-1>} Note that if a composite object has
          a component of a floating point type, and the floating point
          type has both a plus and minus zero, which are considered
          equal by the predefined equality, then a block compare cannot
          be used for the predefined composite equality.  Of course,
          with user-defined equals operators for components that are
          records, a block compare breaks down anyway, so this is not
          the only special case that requires component-by-component
          comparisons.  On a one's complement machine, a similar
          situation might occur for integer types, since one's
          complement machines typically have both a plus and minus
          (integer) zero.

24.d/2
          To be honest: {<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} For a component
          with an anonymous access type, "predefined equality" is that
          defined for the <universal_access> type (anonymous access
          types have no equality operators of their own).

24.e/3
          {<AI05-0123-1AI05-0123-1>} For a component with a record type
          <T>, "the primitive equals operator" is the one with two
          parameters of <T> which returns Boolean.  We're not talking
          about some random other primitive function named "=".

24.1/3
{<AI05-0123-1AI05-0123-1>} If the primitive equals operator for an
untagged record type is abstract, then Program_Error is raised at the
point of any (implicit) call to that abstract subprogram.

24.f/3
          Reason: An explicit call to an abstract subprogram is illegal.
          This rule is needed in order to define the effect of an
          implicit call such as a call that is part of the predefined
          equality operation for an enclosing composite type that has a
          component of an untagged record type that has an abstract
          primitive equals operator.  For tagged types, an abstract
          primitive equals operator is only allowed for an abstract
          type, and abstract types cannot be components, so this case
          does not occur.

24.2/1
{<8652/00168652/0016>} {<AI95-00123-01AI95-00123-01>} For any composite
type, the order in which "=" is called for components is unspecified.
Furthermore, if the result can be determined before calling "=" on some
components, it is unspecified whether "=" is called on those components.

25
The predefined "/=" operator gives the complementary result to the
predefined "=" operator.

25.a
          Ramification: Furthermore, if the user defines an "=" operator
          that returns Boolean, then a "/=" operator is implicitly
          declared in terms of the user-defined "=" operator so as to
          give the complementary result.  See *note 6.6::.

26/3
{<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} For a discrete array type, the predefined
ordering operators correspond to <lexicographic order> using the
predefined order relation of the component type: A null array is
lexicographically less than any array having at least one component.  In
the case of nonnull arrays, the left operand is lexicographically less
than the right operand if the first component of the left operand is
less than that of the right; otherwise, the left operand is
lexicographically less than the right operand only if their first
components are equal and the tail of the left operand is
lexicographically less than that of the right (the <tail> consists of
the remaining components beyond the first and can be null).

27.1/4
{<AI05-0158-1AI05-0158-1>} {<AI12-0039-1AI12-0039-1>} For the evaluation

one membership_choice, the <tested_>simple_expression of the membership

that of a sequence consisting of an individual membership test on each
membership_choice combined with the short-circuit control form or else.

27.a.1/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0158-1AI05-0158-1>} This equivalence

     <choice_>simple_expression, and the <tested_>simple_expression is
     equal to the value of the membership_choice.  If the tested type is

          not perform any other check, such as whether a value falls in

          {<AI05-0123-1AI05-0123-1>} If any language-defined types are

          "magic" to implement equality for this type.  A normal
          user-defined "=" operator for a non-record type does <not>
          meet this requirement.

     NOTES

     <This paragraph was deleted.>{<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>}

34
     14  If a composite type has components that depend on
     discriminants, two values of this type have matching components if
     and only if their discriminants are equal.  Two nonnull arrays have
     matching components if and only if the length of each dimension is
     the same for both.

39.a
          Membership tests can be used to test the tag of a class-wide
          value.

39.b
          Predefined equality for a composite type is defined in terms
          of the primitive equals operator for tagged components or the
          parent part.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

39.c
          The term "membership test" refers to the relation "X in S"
          rather to simply the reserved word in or not in.

39.d
          We use the term "equality operator" to refer to both the =
          (equals) and /= (not equals) operators.  Ada 83 referred to =
          as <the> equality operator, and /= as the inequality operator.
          The new wording is more consistent with the ISO 10646 name for
          "=" (equals sign) and provides a category similar to "ordering
          operator" to refer to both = and /=.

39.e
          We have changed the term "catenate" to "concatenate".

          {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} Memberships were adjusted to

          {<AI05-0123-1AI05-0123-1>} User-defined untagged record
          equality is now defined to compose and be used in generics.
          Any code which assumes that the predefined equality reemerges
          in generics and in predefined equals for composite types could
          fail.  However, it is much more likely that this change will
          fix bugs, as the behavior that would be expected (the
          user-defined "=" is used) will be true in more cases.

39.j/3
          {<AI05-0123-1AI05-0123-1>} If a composite type contains a
          component of an untagged record type with an abstract equality
          operation, calling "=" on the composite type will raise
          Program_Error, while in the past a result will be returned
          using the predefined equality.  This is quite possible in ASIS
          programs; it will detect a bug in such programs but of course

          type that completes a private type.  Any code that calls the
          predefined "=" on the private type will now execute the body
          for the redefined "=" instead for the predefined "=".
          Eliminating the rule eliminates an unnecessary incompatibility
          (especially for programs that never call the predefined "=").
          Moreover, (like the composition of untagged record "=" in Ada
          2012) this is more likely to fix bugs than cause them (who
          defines an "=" with a presumably different result and does not
          want clients to us it?).

          <choice_>simple_expression.  This was necessary to eliminate
          wording ambiguities introduced when the grammar was corrected
          to eliminate syntax ambiguities.  (Both of the above are now

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

5
For the evaluation of a concatenation with result type <T>, if both
operands are of type <T>, the result of the concatenation is a
one-dimensional array whose length is the sum of the lengths of its
operands, and whose components comprise the components of the left
operand followed by the components of the right operand.  If the left
operand is a null array, the result of the concatenation is the right
operand.  Otherwise, the lower bound of the result is determined as
follows:

6
   * If the ultimate ancestor of the array type was defined by a
     constrained_array_definition, then the lower bound of the result is
     that of the index subtype;

6.a
          Reason: This rule avoids Constraint_Error when using
          concatenation on an array type whose first subtype is
          constrained.

7
   * If the ultimate ancestor of the array type was defined by an
     unconstrained_array_definition, then the lower bound of the result
     is that of the left operand.

8
[The upper bound is determined by the lower bound and the length.]  A
check is made that the upper bound of the result of the concatenation
belongs to the range of the index subtype, unless the result is a null
array.  Constraint_Error is raised if this check fails.

9
If either operand is of the component type <C>, the result of the
concatenation is given by the above rules, using in place of such an
operand an array having this operand as its only component (converted to
the component subtype) and having the lower bound of the index subtype
of the array type as its lower bound.  

9.a
          Ramification: The conversion might raise Constraint_Error.
          The conversion provides "sliding" for the component in the
          case of an array-of-arrays, consistent with the normal Ada 95
          rules that allow sliding during parameter passing.

10
The result of a concatenation is defined in terms of an assignment to an
anonymous object, as for any function call (see *note 6.5::).

10.a
          Ramification: This implies that value adjustment is performed
          as appropriate -- see *note 7.6::.  We don't bother saying
          this for other predefined operators, even though they are all
          function calls, because this is the only one where it matters.
          It is the only one that can return a value having controlled
          parts.

     NOTES

11
     15  As for all predefined operators on modular types, the binary
     adding operators + and - on modular types include a final reduction
     modulo the modulus if the result is outside the base range of the
     type.

11.a
          Implementation Note: A full "modulus" operation need not be
          performed after addition or subtraction of modular types.  For
          binary moduli, a simple mask is sufficient.  For nonbinary
          moduli, a check after addition to see if the value is greater
          than the high bound of the base range can be followed by a
          conditional subtraction of the modulus.  Conversely, a check
          after subtraction to see if a "borrow" was performed can be
          followed by a conditional addition of the modulus.

                              _Examples_

12
<Examples of expressions involving binary adding operators:>

13
     Z + 0.1      --<  Z has to be of a real type >

14
     "A" & "BCD"  --<  concatenation of two string literals>
     'A' & "BCD"  --<  concatenation of a character literal and a string literal>
     'A' & 'A'    --<  concatenation of two character literals >

                     _Inconsistencies With Ada 83_

14.a
          The lower bound of the result of concatenation, for a type
          whose first subtype is constrained, is now that of the index
          subtype.  This is inconsistent with Ada 83, but generally only
          for Ada 83 programs that raise Constraint_Error.  For example,
          the concatenation operator in

14.b
               X : array(1..10) of Integer;
               begin
               X := X(6..10) & X(1..5);

14.c
          would raise Constraint_Error in Ada 83 (because the bounds of
          the result of the concatenation would be 6..15, which is
          outside of 1..10), but would succeed and swap the halves of X
          (as expected) in Ada 95.

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

14.d
          Concatenation is now useful for array types whose first
          subtype is constrained.  When the result type of a
          concatenation is such an array type, Constraint_Error is
          avoided by effectively first sliding the left operand (if
          nonnull) so that its lower bound is that of the index subtype.

4.5.4 Unary Adding Operators
----------------------------

                          _Static Semantics_

1
The unary adding operators + (identity) and - (negation) are predefined
for every specific numeric type <T> with their conventional meaning.
They have the following specifications:

2
     function "+"(Right : <T>) return <T>
     function "-"(Right : <T>) return <T>

     NOTES

3
     16  For modular integer types, the unary adding operator -, when
     given a nonzero operand, returns the result of subtracting the
     value of the operand from the modulus; for a zero operand, the
     result is zero.

4.5.5 Multiplying Operators
---------------------------

                          _Static Semantics_

1
The multiplying operators * (multiplication), / (division), mod
(modulus), and rem (remainder) are predefined for every specific integer
type <T>:

2
     function "*"  (Left, Right : <T>) return <T>
     function "/"  (Left, Right : <T>) return <T>
     function "mod"(Left, Right : <T>) return <T>
     function "rem"(Left, Right : <T>) return <T>

3
Signed integer multiplication has its conventional meaning.

4
Signed integer division and remainder are defined by the relation:

5
     A = (A/B)*B + (A rem B)

6
where (A rem B) has the sign of A and an absolute value less than the
absolute value of B. Signed integer division satisfies the identity:

7
     (-A)/B = -(A/B) = A/(-B)

8/3
{<AI05-0260-1AI05-0260-1>} The signed integer modulus operator is
defined such that the result of A mod B is either zero, or has the sign
of B and an absolute value less than the absolute value of B; in
addition, for some signed integer value N, this result satisfies the
relation:

9
     A = B*N + (A mod B)

10
The multiplying operators on modular types are defined in terms of the
corresponding signed integer operators[, followed by a reduction modulo
the modulus if the result is outside the base range of the type] [(which
is only possible for the "*" operator)].

10.a
          Ramification: The above identity satisfied by signed integer
          division is not satisfied by modular division because of the
          difference in effect of negation.

11
Multiplication and division operators are predefined for every specific
floating point type <T>:

12
     function "*"(Left, Right : <T>) return <T>
     function "/"(Left, Right : <T>) return <T>

13
The following multiplication and division operators, with an operand of
the predefined type Integer, are predefined for every specific fixed
point type <T>:

14
     function "*"(Left : <T>; Right : Integer) return <T>
     function "*"(Left : Integer; Right : <T>) return <T>
     function "/"(Left : <T>; Right : Integer) return <T>

15
[All of the above multiplying operators are usable with an operand of an
appropriate universal numeric type.]  The following additional
multiplying operators for <root_real> are predefined[, and are usable
when both operands are of an appropriate universal or root numeric type,
and the result is allowed to be of type <root_real>, as in a
number_declaration]:

15.a
          Ramification: These operators are analogous to the multiplying
          operators involving fixed or floating point types where
          <root_real> substitutes for the fixed or floating point type,
          and <root_integer> substitutes for Integer.  Only values of
          the corresponding universal numeric types are implicitly
          convertible to these root numeric types, so these operators
          are really restricted to use with operands of a universal
          type, or the specified root numeric types.

16
     function "*"(Left, Right : <root_real>) return <root_real>
     function "/"(Left, Right : <root_real>) return <root_real>

17
     function "*"(Left : <root_real>; Right : <root_integer>) return <root_real>
     function "*"(Left : <root_integer>; Right : <root_real>) return <root_real>
     function "/"(Left : <root_real>; Right : <root_integer>) return <root_real>

18
Multiplication and division between any two fixed point types are
provided by the following two predefined operators:

18.a
          Ramification: <Universal_fixed> is the universal type for the
          class of fixed point types, meaning that these operators take
          operands of any fixed point types (not necessarily the same)
          and return a result that is implicitly (or explicitly)
          convertible to any fixed point type.

19
     function "*"(Left, Right : <universal_fixed>) return <universal_fixed>
     function "/"(Left, Right : <universal_fixed>) return <universal_fixed>

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

19.1/2
{<AI95-00364-01AI95-00364-01>} {<AI95-00420-01AI95-00420-01>} The above
two fixed-fixed multiplying operators shall not be used in a context
where the expected type for the result is itself <universal_fixed> [--
the context has to identify some other numeric type to which the result
is to be converted, either explicitly or implicitly].  Unless the
predefined universal operator is identified using an expanded name with
prefix denoting the package Standard, an explicit conversion is required
on the result when using the above fixed-fixed multiplication operator
if either operand is of a type having a user-defined primitive
multiplication operator such that:

19.2/3
   * {<AI05-0020-1AI05-0020-1>} {<AI05-0209-1AI05-0209-1>} it is
     declared immediately within the same declaration list as the type
     or any partial or incomplete view thereof; and

19.3/2
   * both of its formal parameters are of a fixed-point type.

19.4/2
{<AI95-00364-01AI95-00364-01>} {<AI95-00420-01AI95-00420-01>} A
corresponding requirement applies to the universal fixed-fixed division
operator.

19.a/2
          Discussion: The <small> of <universal_fixed> is infinitesimal;
          no loss of precision is permitted.  However, fixed-fixed
          division is impractical to implement when an exact result is
          required, and multiplication will sometimes result in
          unanticipated overflows in such circumstances, so we require
          an explicit conversion to be inserted in expressions like A *
          B * C if A, B, and C are each of some fixed point type.

19.b/2
          On the other hand, X := A * B; is permitted by this rule, even
          if X, A, and B are all of different fixed point types, since
          the expected type for the result of the multiplication is the
          type of X, which is necessarily not <universal_fixed>.

19.c/2
          {<AI95-00364-01AI95-00364-01>} {<AI95-00420-01AI95-00420-01>}
          We have made these into Name Resolution rules to ensure that
          user-defined primitive fixed-fixed operators are not made
          unusable due to the presence of these universal fixed-fixed
          operators.  But we do allow these operators to be used if
          prefixed by package Standard, so that they can be used in the
          definitions of user-defined operators.

<Paragraph 20 was deleted.>

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

21
The multiplication and division operators for real types have their
conventional meaning.  [For floating point types, the accuracy of the
result is determined by the precision of the result type.  For decimal
fixed point types, the result is truncated toward zero if the
mathematical result is between two multiples of the <small> of the
specific result type (possibly determined by context); for ordinary
fixed point types, if the mathematical result is between two multiples
of the <small>, it is unspecified which of the two is the result.  ]

22
The exception Constraint_Error is raised by integer division, rem, and
mod if the right operand is zero.  [Similarly, for a real type <T> with
<T'>Machine_Overflows True, division by zero raises Constraint_Error.]

     NOTES

23
     17  For positive A and B, A/B is the quotient and A rem B is the
     remainder when A is divided by B. The following relations are
     satisfied by the rem operator:

24
               A  rem (-B) =   A rem B
             (-A) rem   B  = -(A rem B)

25
     18  For any signed integer K, the following identity holds:

26
             A mod B   =   (A + K*B) mod B

27
     The relations between signed integer division, remainder, and
     modulus are illustrated by the following table:

28
             A      B   A/B   A rem B  A mod B     A     B    A/B   A rem B   A mod B

          The universal fixed-fixed multiplying operators are now
          directly available (see below).  Any attempt to use
          user-defined fixed-fixed multiplying operators will be
          ambiguous with the universal ones.  The only way to use the
          user-defined operators is to fully qualify them in a prefix
          call.  This problem was not documented during the design of
          Ada 95, and has been mitigated by Ada 2005.

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

35.a
          Explicit conversion of the result of multiplying or dividing
          two fixed point numbers is no longer required, provided the
          context uniquely determines some specific fixed point result
          type.  This is to improve support for decimal fixed point,
          where requiring explicit conversion on every fixed-fixed
          multiply or divide was felt to be inappropriate.

35.b
          The type <universal_fixed> is covered by <universal_real>, so
          real literals and fixed point operands may be multiplied or
          divided directly, without any explicit conversions required.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

35.c
          We have used the normal syntax for function definition rather
          than a tabular format.

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 95_

35.d/2
          {<AI95-00364-01AI95-00364-01>} We have changed the resolution
          rules for the universal fixed-fixed multiplying operators to
          remove the incompatibility with Ada 83 discussed above.  The
          solution is to hide the universal operators in some
          circumstances.  As a result, some legal Ada 95 programs will
          require the insertion of an explicit conversion around a
          fixed-fixed multiply operator.  This change is likely to catch
          as many bugs as it causes, since it is unlikely that the user
          wanted to use predefined operators when they had defined
          user-defined versions.

          {<AI05-0020-1AI05-0020-1>} {<AI05-0209-1AI05-0209-1>}
          Correction: Wording was added to clarify that
          <universal_fixed> "*" and "/" does not apply if an appropriate
          operator is declared for a partial (or incomplete) view of the
          designated type.  Otherwise, adding a partial (or incomplete)
          view could make some "*" and "/" operators ambiguous.

35.f/3
          {<AI05-0260-1AI05-0260-1>} Correction: The wording for the mod
          operator was corrected so that a result of 0 does not have to
          have "the sign of B" (which is impossible if B is negative).

4.5.6 Highest Precedence Operators
----------------------------------

                          _Static Semantics_

1
The highest precedence unary operator abs (absolute value) is predefined
for every specific numeric type <T>, with the following specification:

2
     function "abs"(Right : <T>) return <T>

3
The highest precedence unary operator not (logical negation) is
predefined for every boolean type <T>, every modular type <T>, and for
every one-dimensional array type <T> whose components are of a boolean
type, with the following specification:

4
     function "not"(Right : <T>) return <T>

5
The result of the operator not for a modular type is defined as the
difference between the high bound of the base range of the type and the
value of the operand.  [For a binary modulus, this corresponds to a
bit-wise complement of the binary representation of the value of the
operand.]

6
The operator not that applies to a one-dimensional array of boolean
components yields a one-dimensional boolean array with the same bounds;
each component of the result is obtained by logical negation of the
corresponding component of the operand (that is, the component that has
the same index value).  A check is made that each component of the
result belongs to the component subtype; the exception Constraint_Error
is raised if this check fails.

6.a
          Discussion: The check against the component subtype is per
          AI83-00535.

7
The highest precedence <exponentiation> operator ** is predefined for
every specific integer type <T> with the following specification:

8
     function "**"(Left : <T>; Right : Natural) return <T>

9
Exponentiation is also predefined for every specific floating point type
as well as <root_real>, with the following specification (where <T> is
<root_real> or the floating point type):

10
     function "**"(Left : <T>; Right : Integer'Base) return <T>

11/3
{<AI05-0088-1AI05-0088-1>} The right operand of an exponentiation is the
<exponent>.  The value of X**N with the value of the exponent N positive
is the same as the value of X*X*...X (with N-1 multiplications) except
that the multiplications are associated in an arbitrary order.  With N
equal to zero, the result is one.  With the value of N negative [(only
defined for a floating point operand)], the result is the reciprocal of
the result using the absolute value of N as the exponent.

11.a
          Ramification: The language does not specify the order of
          association of the multiplications inherent in an
          exponentiation.  For a floating point type, the accuracy of
          the result might depend on the particular association order
          chosen.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

12
The implementation of exponentiation for the case of a negative exponent
is allowed to raise Constraint_Error if the intermediate result of the
repeated multiplications is outside the safe range of the type, even
though the final result (after taking the reciprocal) would not be.
(The best machine approximation to the final result in this case would
generally be 0.0.)

     NOTES

13
     19  As implied by the specification given above for exponentiation
     of an integer type, a check is made that the exponent is not
     negative.  Constraint_Error is raised if this check fails.

                     _Inconsistencies With Ada 83_

13.a.1/1
          {<8652/01008652/0100>} {<AI95-00018-01AI95-00018-01>} The
          definition of "**" allows arbitrary association of the
          multiplications which make up the result.  Ada 83 required
          left-to-right associations (confirmed by AI83-00137).  Thus it
          is possible that "**" would provide a slightly different (and
          more potentially accurate) answer in Ada 95 than in the same
          Ada 83 program.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

13.a
          We now show the specification for "**" for integer types with
          a parameter subtype of Natural rather than Integer for the
          exponent.  This reflects the fact that Constraint_Error is
          raised if a negative value is provided for the exponent.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

13.b/3
          {<AI05-0088-1AI05-0088-1>} Correction: The equivalence
          definition for "**" was corrected so that it does not imply
          that the operands are evaluated multiple times.

4.5.7 Conditional Expressions
-----------------------------

1/3
{<AI05-0147-1AI05-0147-1>} {<AI05-0188-1AI05-0188-1>}
{<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} A conditional_expression selects for
evaluation at most one of the enclosed <dependent_>expressions,
depending on a decision among the alternatives.  One kind of
conditional_expression is the if_expression, which selects for
evaluation a <dependent_>expression depending on the value of one or
more corresponding conditions.  The other kind of conditional_expression
is the case_expression, which selects for evaluation one of a number of
alternative <dependent_>expressions; the chosen alternative is
determined by the value of a <selecting_>expression.

                     _Language Design Principles_

1.a/3
          {<AI05-0188-1AI05-0188-1>} As previously noted, there are two
          kinds of conditional_expression, if_expressions and
          case_expressions.  Whenever possible, we have written the
          rules in terms of conditional_expressions to avoid
          duplication.

1.b/3
          {<AI05-0147-1AI05-0147-1>} The rules for
          conditional_expressions have been designed as much as possible
          to work similarly to a parenthesized expression.  The intent
          is that as much as possible, wherever a parenthesized
          expression would be allowed, a conditional_expression would be
          allowed, and it should work the same way.

                               _Syntax_

2/3
     {<AI05-0188-1AI05-0188-1>} conditional_expression ::=
     if_expression | case_expression

3/3
     {<AI05-0147-1AI05-0147-1>} {<AI05-0188-1AI05-0188-1>} if_expression
     ::=
        if condition then <dependent_>expression
        {elsif condition then <dependent_>expression}
        [else <dependent_>expression]

4/3
     {<AI05-0147-1AI05-0147-1>} condition ::= <boolean_>expression

5/3
     {<AI05-0188-1AI05-0188-1>} case_expression ::=
         case <selecting_>expression is
         case_expression_alternative {,
         case_expression_alternative}

6/3
     {<AI05-0188-1AI05-0188-1>} case_expression_alternative ::=
         when discrete_choice_list =>
             <dependent_>expression

7/3
     {<AI05-0147-1AI05-0147-1>} Wherever the Syntax Rules allow an
     expression, a conditional_expression may be used in place of the
     expression, so long as it is immediately surrounded by parentheses.

7.a/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0147-1AI05-0147-1>} The syntactic category
          conditional_expression appears only as a primary that is
          parenthesized.  The above rule allows it to additionally be
          used in other contexts where it would be directly surrounded
          by parentheses.

7.b/3
          The grammar makes the following directly legal:

7.c/3
               A := (if X then Y else Z); --< parentheses required>
               A := B + (if X then Y else Z) + C; --< parentheses required>

7.d/3
          The following procedure calls are syntactically legal; the
          first uses the above rule to eliminate the redundant
          parentheses found in the second:

7.e/3
               P(if X then Y else Z);
               P((if X then Y else Z)); --< redundant parentheses>

7.f/3
               P((if X then Y else Z), Some_Other_Param);
               P(Some_Other_Param, (if X then Y else Z));
               P(Formal => (if X then Y else Z));

7.g/3
          whereas the following are illegal:

7.h/3
               P(if X then Y else Z, Some_Other_Param);
               P(Some_Other_Param, if X then Y else Z);
               P(Formal => if X then Y else Z);

7.i/3
          because in these latter cases, the conditional_expression is
          not immediately surrounded by parentheses (which means on both
          sides!).

7.j/3
          The English-language rule applies in all places that could
          surround an expression with parentheses, including pragma
          arguments, type conversion and qualified expression operands,
          and array index expressions.

7.k/3
          This English-language rule could have been implemented instead
          by adding a nonterminal expression_within_parentheses, which
          would consist of expressions and conditional_expressions.
          Then, that could be used in all of the syntax which could
          consist of parens directly around an expression.  We did not
          do that because of the large amount of change required.  A
          complete grammar is given in AI05-0147-1AI05-0147-1.

7.l/3
          Implementation Note: {<AI05-0147-1AI05-0147-1>} Implementers
          are cautioned to consider error detection when implementing
          the syntax for conditional_expressions.  An if_expression and
          an if_statement are very similar syntactically, (as are a
          case_expression and a case_statement) and simple mistakes can
          appear to change one into the other, potentially causing
          errors to be moved far away from their actual location.  The
          absence of end if to terminate an if_expression (and end case
          for a case_expression) also may make error handling harder.

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

8/3
{<AI05-0147-1AI05-0147-1>} If a conditional_expression is expected to be
of a type <T>, then each <dependent_>expression of the
conditional_expression is expected to be of type <T>.  Similarly, if a
conditional_expression is expected to be of some class of types, then
each <dependent_>expression of the conditional_expression is subject to
the same expectation.  If a conditional_expression shall resolve to be
of a type <T>, then each <dependent_>expression shall resolve to be of
type <T>.

9/3
{<AI05-0147-1AI05-0147-1>} The possible types of a
conditional_expression are further determined as follows:

10/3
   * If the conditional_expression is the operand of a type conversion,
     the type of the conditional_expression is the target type of the
     conversion; otherwise,

10.a/3
          Reason: This rule distributes an enclosing type conversion to
          the <dependent_>expressions.  This means that

10.b/3
               T(if C then A else B)

10.c/3
          has the same semantics as

10.d/3
               (if C then T(A) else T(B))

11/3
   * If all of the <dependent_>expressions are of the same type, the
     type of the conditional_expression is that type; otherwise,

12/3
   * If a <dependent_>expression is of an elementary type, the type of
     the conditional_expression shall be covered by that type;
     otherwise,

12.a/3
          Reason: This rule supports the use of numeric literals and
          universal expressions within a conditional_expression.

13/3
   * If the conditional_expression is expected to be of type <T> or
     shall resolve to type <T>, then the conditional_expression is of
     type <T>.

13.a/3
          Ramification: If the type of the conditional_expression cannot
          be determined by one of these rules, then Name Resolution has
          failed for that expression, even if the
          <dependent_>expressions would resolve individually.

14/3
{<AI05-0147-1AI05-0147-1>} A condition is expected to be of any boolean
type.

15/3
{<AI05-0188-1AI05-0188-1>} The expected type for the
<selecting_>expression and the discrete_choices are as for case
statements (see *note 5.4::).  

                           _Legality Rules_

16/3
{<AI05-0147-1AI05-0147-1>} {<AI05-0188-1AI05-0188-1>} All of the
<dependent_>expressions shall be convertible (see *note 4.6::) to the
type of the conditional_expression.

17/3
{<AI05-0147-1AI05-0147-1>} {<AI05-0188-1AI05-0188-1>}
{<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>} If the expected type of a
conditional_expression is a specific tagged type, all of the
<dependent_>expressions of the conditional_expression shall be
dynamically tagged, or none shall be dynamically tagged.  In this case,
the conditional_expression is dynamically tagged if all of the
<dependent_>expressions are dynamically tagged, is tag-indeterminate if
all of the <dependent_>expressions are tag-indeterminate, and is
statically tagged otherwise.

18/3
{<AI05-0147-1AI05-0147-1>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} If there is no
else <dependent_>expression, the if_expression shall be of a boolean
type.

19/3
{<AI05-0188-1AI05-0188-1>} {<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>} All Legality Rules
that apply to the discrete_choices of a case_statement (see *note 5.4::)
also apply to the discrete_choices of a case_expression except within an
instance of a generic unit.

19.a/3
          Reason: The exemption for a case expression that occurs in an
          instance allows the following example:

19.b/3
               generic
                  with function Int_Func return Integer;
               package G is
                  X : Float := (case Int_Func is
                                 when Integer'First .. -1 => -1.0,
                                 when 0 => 0.0,
                                 when Positive => 1.0);
               end G;

19.c/3
               function Nat_Func return Natural is (123);

19.d/3
               package I is new G (Int_Func => Nat_Func); -- <Legal>

19.e/3
          Note that the Legality Rules still apply in the generic unit
          itself; they are just not enforced in an instance of the unit.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

20/3
{<AI05-0147-1AI05-0147-1>} {<AI05-0188-1AI05-0188-1>} For the evaluation
of an if_expression, the condition specified after if, and any
conditions specified after elsif, are evaluated in succession (treating
a final else as elsif True then), until one evaluates to True or all
conditions are evaluated and yield False.  If a condition evaluates to
True, the associated <dependent_>expression is evaluated, converted to
the type of the if_expression, and the resulting value is the value of
the if_expression.  Otherwise (when there is no else clause), the value
of the if_expression is True.

20.a/3
          Ramification: Else is required unless the if_expression has a
          boolean type, so the last sentence can only apply to
          if_expressions with a boolean type.

21/3
{<AI05-0188-1AI05-0188-1>} For the evaluation of a case_expression, the
<selecting_>expression is first evaluated.  If the value of the
<selecting_>expression is covered by the discrete_choice_list of some
case_expression_alternative, then the <dependent_>expression of the
case_expression_alternative is evaluated, converted to the type of the
case_expression, and the resulting value is the value of the
case_expression.  Otherwise (the value is not covered by any
discrete_choice_list, perhaps due to being outside the base range),
Constraint_Error is raised.

4.5.8 Quantified Expressions
----------------------------

0.1/4
{<AI12-0158-1AI12-0158-1>} Quantified expressions provide a way to write
universally and existentially quantified predicates over containers and
arrays.

                               _Syntax_

1/3
     {<AI05-0176-1AI05-0176-1>} quantified_expression ::= for

2/3
     quantifier ::= all | some

3/3
     predicate ::= <boolean_>expression

4/3
     {<AI05-0176-1AI05-0176-1>} Wherever the Syntax Rules allow an
     expression, a quantified_expression may be used in place of the
     expression, so long as it is immediately surrounded by parentheses.

4.a/3
          Discussion: The syntactic category quantified_expression
          appears only as a primary that is parenthesized.  The above
          rule allows it to additionally be used in other contexts where
          it would be directly surrounded by parentheses.  This is the
          same rule that is used for conditional_expressions; see *note
          4.5.7:: for a detailed discussion of the meaning and effects
          of this rule.

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

5/3
{<AI05-0176-1AI05-0176-1>} The expected type of a quantified_expression
is any Boolean type.  The predicate in a quantified_expression is
expected to be of the same type.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

6/4
{<AI05-0176-1AI05-0176-1>} {<AI12-0158-1AI12-0158-1>} For the evaluation
of a quantified_expression, the loop_parameter_specification or
iterator_specification is first elaborated.  The evaluation of a
quantified_expression then evaluates the predicate for the values of the
loop parameter in the order specified by the
loop_parameter_specification (see *note 5.5::) or iterator_specification
(see *note 5.5.2::).

7/3
{<AI05-0176-1AI05-0176-1>} The value of the quantified_expression is
determined as follows:

8/4
   * {<AI12-0158-1AI12-0158-1>} If the quantifier is all, the expression
     is False if the evaluation of any predicate yields False;
     evaluation of the quantified_expression stops at that point.
     Otherwise (every predicate has been evaluated and yielded True),
     the expression is True.  Any exception raised by evaluation of the
     predicate is propagated.

8.a/3
          Ramification: The expression is True if the domain contains no
          values.

9/4
   * {<AI12-0158-1AI12-0158-1>} If the quantifier is some, the
     expression is True if the evaluation of any predicate yields True;
     evaluation of the quantified_expression stops at that point.
     Otherwise (every predicate has been evaluated and yielded False),
     the expression is False.  Any exception raised by evaluation of the
     predicate is propagated.

9.a/3
          Ramification: The expression is False if the domain contains
          no values.

                              _Examples_

10/3
{<AI05-0176-1AI05-0176-1>} The postcondition for a sorting routine on an
array A with an index subtype T can be written:

11/3
     Post => (A'Length < 2 or else
        (for all I in A'First .. T'Pred(A'Last) => A (I) <= A (T'Succ (I))))

4.6 Type Conversions
====================

1/3
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} [Explicit type conversions, both value
conversions and view conversions, are allowed between closely related
types as defined below.  This subclause also defines rules for value and
view conversions to a particular subtype of a type, both explicit ones
and those implicit in other constructs.  ]

                               _Syntax_

2
     type_conversion ::=
         subtype_mark(expression)
       | subtype_mark(name)

3
The <target subtype> of a type_conversion is the subtype denoted by the
subtype_mark.  The <operand> of a type_conversion is the expression or
name within the parentheses; its type is the <operand type>.

4/3
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} One type is <convertible> to a second type if
a type_conversion with the first type as operand type and the second
type as target type is legal according to the rules of this subclause.
Two types are convertible if each is convertible to the other.

4.a
          Ramification: Note that "convertible" is defined in terms of
          legality of the conversion.  Whether the conversion would
          raise an exception at run time is irrelevant to this
          definition.

5/2
{<8652/00178652/0017>} {<AI95-00184-01AI95-00184-01>}
{<AI95-00330-01AI95-00330-01>} A type_conversion whose operand is the
name of an object is called a <view conversion> if both its target type
and operand type are tagged, or if it appears in a call as an actual
parameter of mode out or in out; other type_conversions are called
<value conversions>.  

5.a
          Ramification: A view conversion to a tagged type can appear in
          any context that requires an object name, including in an
          object renaming, the prefix of a selected_component, and if
          the operand is a variable, on the left side of an
          assignment_statement.  View conversions to other types only
          occur as actual parameters.  Allowing view conversions of
          untagged types in all contexts seemed to incur an undue
          implementation burden.

5.b/2
          {<AI95-00330-01AI95-00330-01>} A type conversion appearing as
          an in out parameter in a generic instantiation is not a view
          conversion; the second part of the rule only applies to
          subprogram calls, not instantiations.

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

6
The operand of a type_conversion is expected to be of any type.

6.a
          Discussion: This replaces the "must be determinable" wording
          of Ada 83.  This is equivalent to (but hopefully more
          intuitive than) saying that the operand of a type_conversion
          is a "complete context."

The operand of a view conversion is interpreted only as a name; the
operand of a value conversion is interpreted as an expression.

7.a/4
          Reason: {<AI12-0005-1AI12-0005-1>} This formally resolves the
          syntactic ambiguity between the two forms of type_conversion.
          This matters as an expression that is a name is evaluated and
          represents a value while a name by itself can be an object; we
          want a view conversion to be an object.

7.b/4
          Ramification: {<AI12-0005-1AI12-0005-1>} This wording uses
          "interpreted as" rather than "shall be" so that this rule is
          not used to resolve overloading; it is solely about evaluation
          as described above.

                           _Legality Rules_

8/2
{<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} In a view conversion for an untagged
type, the target type shall be convertible (back) to the operand type.

8.a/2
          Reason: Untagged view conversions appear only as [in] out
          parameters.  Hence, the reverse conversion must be legal as
          well.  The forward conversion must be legal even for an out
          parameter, because (for example) actual parameters of an
          access type are always copied in anyway.

<Paragraphs 9 through 20 were reorganized and moved below.>

8.b/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} The entire Legality
          Rules section has been reorganized to eliminate an
          unintentional incompatibility with Ada 83.  In rare cases, a
          type conversion between two types related by derivation is not
          allowed by Ada 95, while it is allowed in Ada 83.  The
          reorganization fixes this.  Much of the wording of the
          legality section is unchanged, but it is reordered and
          reformatted.  Because of the limitations of our tools, we had
          to delete and replace nearly the entire section.  The text of
          Ada 95 paragraphs 8 through 12, 14, 15, 17, 19, 20, and 24 are
          unchanged (just moved); these are now 24.1 through 24.5,
          24.12, 24.13, 24.17, 24.19, 24.20, and 8.

21/3
{<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} {<AI05-0115-1AI05-0115-1>} If there is a
type (other than a root numeric type) that is an ancestor of both the
target type and the operand type, or both types are class-wide types,
then at least one of the following rules shall apply:

21.1/2
   * {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} The target type shall be untagged;
     or

22
   * The operand type shall be covered by or descended from the target
     type; or

22.a
          Ramification: This is a conversion toward the root, which is
          always safe.

23/2
   * {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} The operand type shall be a
     class-wide type that covers the target type; or

23.a
          Ramification: This is a conversion of a class-wide type toward
          the leaves, which requires a tag check.  See Dynamic
          Semantics.

23.b/2
          {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} These two rules imply that a
          conversion from an ancestor type to a type extension is not
          permitted, as this would require specifying the values for
          additional components, in general, and changing the tag.  An
          extension_aggregate has to be used instead, constructing a new
          value, rather than converting an existing value.  However, a
          conversion from the class-wide type rooted at an ancestor type
          is permitted; such a conversion just verifies that the
          operand's tag is a descendant of the target.

23.1/2
   * {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} The operand and target types shall
     both be class-wide types and the specific type associated with at
     least one of them shall be an interface type.

23.c/2
          Ramification: We allow converting any class-wide type T'Class
          to or from a class-wide interface type even if the specific
          type T does not have an appropriate interface ancestor,
          because some extension of T might have the needed ancestor.
          This is similar to a conversion of a class-wide type toward
          the leaves of the tree, and we need to be consistent.  Of
          course, there is a run-time check that the actual object has
          the needed interface.

24/3
{<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} {<AI05-0115-1AI05-0115-1>} If there is no
type (other than a root numeric type) that is the ancestor of both the
target type and the operand type, and they are not both class-wide
types, one of the following rules shall apply:

24.1/2
   * {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} If the target type is a numeric
     type, then the operand type shall be a numeric type.

24.2/2
   * {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} If the target type is an array type,
     then the operand type shall be an array type.  Further:

24.3/2
             * {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} The types shall have the
               same dimensionality;

24.4/2
             * {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} Corresponding index types
               shall be convertible; 

24.5/2
             * {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} The component subtypes
               shall statically match; 

24.6/2
             * {<AI95-00392-01AI95-00392-01>} If the component types are
               anonymous access types, then the accessibility level of
               the operand type shall not be statically deeper than that
               of the target type; 

24.b/2
          Reason: For unrelated array types, the component types could
          have different accessibility, and we had better not allow a
          conversion of a local type into a global type, in case the
          local type points at local objects.  We don't need a check for
          other types of components; such components necessarily are for
          related types, and either have the same accessibility or (for
          access discriminants) cannot be changed so the discriminant
          check will prevent problems.

24.7/2
             * {<AI95-00246-01AI95-00246-01>} Neither the target type
               nor the operand type shall be limited;

24.c/2
          Reason: We cannot allow conversions between unrelated limited
          types, as they may have different representations, and (since
          the types are limited), a copy cannot be made to reconcile the
          representations.

24.8/2
             * {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>}
               {<AI95-00363-01AI95-00363-01>} If the target type of a
               view conversion has aliased components, then so shall the
               operand type; and

24.d/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00363-01AI95-00363-01>} We cannot allow a view
          conversion from an object with unaliased components to an
          object with aliased components, because that would effectively
          allow pointers to unaliased components.  This rule was missing
          from Ada 95.

24.9/2
             * {<AI95-00246-01AI95-00246-01>}
               {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} The operand type of a view
               conversion shall not have a tagged, private, or volatile
               subcomponent.

24.e/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00246-01AI95-00246-01>} We cannot allow view
          conversions between unrelated might-be-by-reference types, as
          they may have different representations, and a copy cannot be
          made to reconcile the representations.

24.f/2
          Ramification: These rules only apply to unrelated array
          conversions; different (weaker) rules apply to conversions
          between related types.

24.10/2
   * {<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} If the target type is
     <universal_access>, then the operand type shall be an access type.

24.g/2
          Discussion: Such a conversion cannot be written explicitly, of
          course, but it can be implicit (see below).

24.11/2
   * {<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} If
     the target type is a general access-to-object type, then the
     operand type shall be <universal_access> or an access-to-object
     type.  Further, if the operand type is not <universal_access>:

24.h/2
          Discussion: The Legality Rules and Dynamic Semantics are
          worded so that a type_conversion T(X) (where T is an access
          type) is (almost) equivalent to the attribute_reference
          X.all'Access, where the result is of type T. The only
          difference is that the type_conversion accepts a null value,
          whereas the attribute_reference would raise Constraint_Error.

24.12/2
             * {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} If the target type is an
               access-to-variable type, then the operand type shall be
               an access-to-variable type;

24.i/2
          Ramification: If the target type is an access-to-constant
          type, then the operand type can be access-to-constant or
          access-to-variable.

24.13/2
             * {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} If the target designated
               type is tagged, then the operand designated type shall be
               convertible to the target designated type; 

24.14/2
             * {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>}
               {<AI95-00363-01AI95-00363-01>} If the target designated
               type is not tagged, then the designated types shall be
               the same, and either:

24.15/2
                  * {<AI95-00363-01AI95-00363-01>} the designated
                    subtypes shall statically match; or

24.16/2
                  * {<AI95-00363-01AI95-00363-01>}
                    {<AI95-00384-01AI95-00384-01>} the designated type
                    shall be discriminated in its full view and
                    unconstrained in any partial view, and one of the
                    designated subtypes shall be unconstrained;

24.j/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00363-01AI95-00363-01>} This does not
          require that types have a partial view in order to allow the
          conversion, simply that any partial view that does exist is
          unconstrained.

24.k/2
          {<AI95-00384-01AI95-00384-01>} This allows conversions both
          ways (either subtype can be unconstrained); while Ada 95 only
          allowed the conversion if the target subtype is unconstrained.
          We generally want type conversions to be symmetric; which type
          is the target shouldn't matter for legality.

24.l/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00363-01AI95-00363-01>} If the visible partial
          view is constrained, we do not allow conversion between
          unconstrained and constrained subtypes.  This means that
          whether the full type had discriminants is not visible to
          clients of the partial view.

24.l.1/4
          Discussion: {<AI12-0095-1AI12-0095-1>} We assume the worst in
          a generic body whether or not a formal subtype has a
          constrained partial view; specifically, in a generic body a
          discriminated subtype is considered to have a constrained
          partial view if it is a descendant of an untagged generic
          formal private or derived type (see *note 12.5.1:: for the
          formal definition of this rule).

24.m/2
          Reason: These rules are designed to ensure that aliased array
          objects only <need> "dope" if their nominal subtype is
          unconstrained, but they can always <have> dope if required by
          the run-time model (since no sliding is permitted as part of
          access type conversion).  By contrast, aliased discriminated
          objects will always <need> their discriminants stored with
          them, even if nominally constrained.  (Here, we are assuming
          an implementation that represents an access value as a single
          pointer.)

24.17/4
             * {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} {<AI05-0148-1AI05-0148-1>}
               {<AI05-0248-1AI05-0248-1>} {<AI12-0027-1AI12-0027-1>} The
               accessibility level of the operand type shall not be
               statically deeper than that of the target type, unless
               the target type is an anonymous access type of a
               stand-alone object.  If the target type is that of such a
               stand-alone object, the accessibility level of the
               operand type shall not be statically deeper than that of
               the declaration of the stand-alone object.

24.n/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0148-1AI05-0148-1>} The access parameter
          case is handled by a run-time check.  Run-time checks are also
          done in instance bodies, and for stand-alone objects of
          anonymous access types.

24.n.1/3
          Reason: We prohibit storing accesses to objects deeper than a
          stand-alone object of an anonymous access-to-object (even
          while we allow storing all other accesses) in order to prevent
          dangling accesses.

24.18/2
   * {<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} If the target type is a
     pool-specific access-to-object type, then the operand type shall be
     <universal_access>.

24.o/2
          Reason: This allows null to be converted to pool-specific
          types.  Without it, null could be converted to general access
          types but not pool-specific ones, which would be too
          inconsistent.  Remember that these rules only apply to
          unrelated types, so we don't have to talk about conversions to
          derived or other related types.

24.19/2
   * {<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} If
     the target type is an access-to-subprogram type, then the operand
     type shall be <universal_access> or an access-to-subprogram type.
     Further, if the operand type is not <universal_access>:

24.20/3
             * {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} {<AI05-0239-1AI05-0239-1>}
               The designated profiles shall be subtype conformant.  

24.21/4
             * {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} {<AI12-0027-1AI12-0027-1>}
               The accessibility level of the operand type shall not be
               statically deeper than that of the target type.  If the
               operand type is declared within a generic body, the
               target type shall be declared within the generic body.

24.p/2
          Reason: The reason it is illegal to convert from an
          access-to-subprogram type declared in a generic body to one
          declared outside that body is that in an implementation that
          shares generic bodies, procedures declared inside the generic
          need to have a different calling convention -- they need an
          extra parameter pointing to the data declared in the current
          instance.  For procedures declared in the spec, that's OK,
          because the compiler can know about them at compile time of
          the instantiation.

24.22/4
{<AI12-0027-1AI12-0027-1>} In addition to the places where Legality
Rules normally apply (see *note 12.3::), these rules apply also in the
private part of an instance of a generic unit.

24.q/4
          Discussion: This applies to <all> of the Legality Rules in
          this section.  It won't matter for the majority of these
          rules, but in any case that it does, we want to apply the same
          recheck in the private part.  (Ada got the default wrong for
          these, as there is only one known case where we don't want to
          recheck in the private part, see derivations without record
          extensions in *note 3.4::.)

                          _Static Semantics_

25
A type_conversion that is a value conversion denotes the value that is
the result of converting the value of the operand to the target subtype.

26/3
{<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} A type_conversion that is a view conversion
denotes a view of the object denoted by the operand.  This view is a
variable of the target type if the operand denotes a variable;
otherwise, it is a constant of the target type.

27
The nominal subtype of a type_conversion is its target subtype.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

28
For the evaluation of a type_conversion that is a value conversion, the
operand is evaluated, and then the value of the operand is <converted>
to a <corresponding> value of the target type, if any.  If there is no
value of the target type that corresponds to the operand value,
Constraint_Error is raised[; this can only happen on conversion to a
modular type, and only when the operand value is outside the base range
of the modular type.]  Additional rules follow:

29
   * Numeric Type Conversion

30
             * If the target and the operand types are both integer
               types, then the result is the value of the target type
               that corresponds to the same mathematical integer as the
               operand.

31
             * If the target type is a decimal fixed point type, then
               the result is truncated (toward 0) if the value of the
               operand is not a multiple of the <small> of the target
               type.

32
             * If the target type is some other real type, then the
               result is within the accuracy of the target type (see
               *note G.2::, "*note G.2:: Numeric Performance
               Requirements", for implementations that support the
               Numerics Annex).

32.a
          Discussion: An integer type might have more bits of precision
          than a real type, so on conversion (of a large integer), some
          precision might be lost.

33
             * If the target type is an integer type and the operand
               type is real, the result is rounded to the nearest
               integer (away from zero if exactly halfway between two
               integers).

33.a/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00267-01AI95-00267-01>} This was
          implementation defined in Ada 83.  There seems no reason to
          preserve the nonportability in Ada 95.  Round-away-from-zero
          is the conventional definition of rounding, and standard
          Fortran and COBOL both specify rounding away from zero, so for
          interoperability, it seems important to pick this.  This is
          also the most easily "undone" by hand.  Round-to-nearest-even
          is an alternative, but that is quite complicated if not
          supported by the hardware.  In any case, this operation is not
          usually part of an inner loop, so predictability and
          portability are judged most important.  A floating point
          attribute function Unbiased_Rounding is provided (see *note
          A.5.3::) for those applications that require
          round-to-nearest-even, and a floating point attribute function
          Machine_Rounding (also see *note A.5.3::) is provided for
          those applications that require the highest possible
          performance.  "Deterministic" rounding is required for static
          conversions to integer as well.  See *note 4.9::.

34
   * Enumeration Type Conversion

35
             * The result is the value of the target type with the same
               position number as that of the operand value.

36
   * Array Type Conversion

37
             * If the target subtype is a constrained array subtype,
               then a check is made that the length of each dimension of
               the value of the operand equals the length of the
               corresponding dimension of the target subtype.  The
               bounds of the result are those of the target subtype.

38
             * If the target subtype is an unconstrained array subtype,
               then the bounds of the result are obtained by converting
               each bound of the value of the operand to the
               corresponding index type of the target type.  For each
               nonnull index range, a check is made that the bounds of
               the range belong to the corresponding index subtype.

38.a
          Discussion: Only nonnull index ranges are checked, per
          AI83-00313.

39
             * In either array case, the value of each component of the
               result is that of the matching component of the operand
               value (see *note 4.5.2::).

39.a
          Ramification: This applies whether or not the component is
          initialized.

39.1/2
             * {<AI95-00392-01AI95-00392-01>} If the component types of
               the array types are anonymous access types, then a check
               is made that the accessibility level of the operand type
               is not deeper than that of the target type.  

39.b/2
          Reason: This check is needed for operands that are access
          parameters and in instance bodies.  Other cases are handled by
          the legality rule given previously.

40
   * Composite (Non-Array) Type Conversion

41
             * The value of each nondiscriminant component of the result
               is that of the matching component of the operand value.

41.a
          Ramification: This applies whether or not the component is
          initialized.

42
             * [The tag of the result is that of the operand.]  If the
               operand type is class-wide, a check is made that the tag
               of the operand identifies a (specific) type that is
               covered by or descended from the target type.

42.a
          Ramification: This check is certain to succeed if the operand
          type is itself covered by or descended from the target type.

42.b
          Proof: The fact that a type_conversion preserves the tag is
          stated officially in *note 3.9::, "*note 3.9:: Tagged Types
          and Type Extensions"

43
             * For each discriminant of the target type that corresponds
               to a discriminant of the operand type, its value is that
               of the corresponding discriminant of the operand value; 
               if it corresponds to more than one discriminant of the
               operand type, a check is made that all these
               discriminants are equal in the operand value.

44
             * For each discriminant of the target type that corresponds
               to a discriminant that is specified by the
               derived_type_definition for some ancestor of the operand
               type (or if class-wide, some ancestor of the specific
               type identified by the tag of the operand), its value in
               the result is that specified by the
               derived_type_definition.

44.a
          Ramification: It is a ramification of the rules for the
          discriminants of derived types that each discriminant of the
          result is covered either by this paragraph or the previous
          one.  See *note 3.7::.

45
             * For each discriminant of the operand type that
               corresponds to a discriminant that is specified by the
               derived_type_definition for some ancestor of the target
               type, a check is made that in the operand value it equals
               the value specified for it.

46
             * For each discriminant of the result, a check is made that
               its value belongs to its subtype.

47
   * Access Type Conversion

48/3
             * {<AI05-0148-1AI05-0148-1>} {<AI05-0248-1AI05-0248-1>} For
               an access-to-object type, a check is made that the
               accessibility level of the operand type is not deeper
               than that of the target type, unless the target type is
               an anonymous access type of a stand-alone object.  If the
               target type is that of such a stand-alone object, a check
               is made that the accessibility level of the operand type
               is not deeper than that of the declaration of the
               stand-alone object[; then if the check succeeds, the
               accessibility level of the target type becomes that of
               the operand type].  

48.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0148-1AI05-0148-1>} This check is needed
          for operands that are access parameters, for stand-alone
          anonymous access objects, and in instance bodies.

48.b
          Note that this check can never fail for the implicit
          conversion to the anonymous type of an access parameter that
          is done when calling a subprogram with an access parameter.

49/2
             * {<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>}
               {<AI95-00231-01AI95-00231-01>} If the operand value is
               null, the result of the conversion is the null value of
               the target type.

49.a/2
          Ramification: A conversion to an anonymous access type happens
          implicitly as part of initializing or assigning to an
          anonymous access object.

50
             * If the operand value is not null, then the result
               designates the same object (or subprogram) as is
               designated by the operand value, but viewed as being of
               the target designated subtype (or profile); any checks
               associated with evaluating a conversion to the target
               designated subtype are performed.

50.a
          Ramification: The checks are certain to succeed if the target
          and operand designated subtypes statically match.

51/4
{<AI95-00231-01AI95-00231-01>} {<AI05-0153-3AI05-0153-3>}
{<AI05-0290-1AI05-0290-1>} {<AI12-0071-1AI12-0071-1>} After conversion
of the value to the target type, if the target subtype is constrained, a
check is performed that the value satisfies this constraint.  If the
target subtype excludes null, then a check is made that the value is not
null.  If predicate checks are enabled for the target subtype (see *note
3.2.4::), a check is performed that the value satisfies the predicates
of the target subtype.

51.a/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00231-01AI95-00231-01>} The first check
          above is a Range_Check for scalar subtypes, a
          Discriminant_Check or Index_Check for access subtypes, and a
          Discriminant_Check for discriminated subtypes.  The
          Length_Check for an array conversion is performed as part of
          the conversion to the target type.  The check for exclusion of
          null is an Access_Check.

52
For the evaluation of a view conversion, the operand name is evaluated,
and a new view of the object denoted by the operand is created, whose
type is the target type; if the target type is composite, checks are
performed as above for a value conversion.

53
The properties of this new view are as follows:

54/1
   * {<8652/00178652/0017>} {<AI95-00184-01AI95-00184-01>} If the target
     type is composite, the bounds or discriminants (if any) of the view
     are as defined above for a value conversion; each nondiscriminant
     component of the view denotes the matching component of the operand
     object; the subtype of the view is constrained if either the target
     subtype or the operand object is constrained, or if the target
     subtype is indefinite, or if the operand type is a descendant of
     the target type and has discriminants that were not inherited from
     the target type;

55
   * If the target type is tagged, then an assignment to the view
     assigns to the corresponding part of the object denoted by the
     operand; otherwise, an assignment to the view assigns to the
     object, after converting the assigned value to the subtype of the
     object (which might raise Constraint_Error); 

56/4
   * {<AI12-0074-1AI12-0074-1>} Reading the value of the view yields the
     result of converting the value of the operand object to the target
     subtype (which might raise Constraint_Error), except if the object
     is of an elementary type and the view conversion is passed as an
     out parameter; in this latter case, the value of the operand object
     may be used to initialize the formal parameter without checking
     against any constraint of the target subtype (as described more
     precisely in *note 6.4.1::).  

56.a/4
          Reason: {<AI12-0074-1AI12-0074-1>} This ensures that even an
          out parameter of an elementary type is initialized reasonably.

57/4
{<AI05-0290-1AI05-0290-1>} {<AI12-0096-1AI12-0096-1>} If an
Accessibility_Check fails, Program_Error is raised.  If a predicate
check fails, the effect is as defined in subclause *note 3.2.4::, "*note
3.2.4:: Subtype Predicates".  Any other check associated with a
conversion raises Constraint_Error if it fails.

58
Conversion to a type is the same as conversion to an unconstrained
subtype of the type.

58.a
          Reason: This definition is needed because the semantics of
          various constructs involves converting to a type, whereas an
          explicit type_conversion actually converts to a subtype.  For
          example, the evaluation of a range is defined to convert the
          values of the expressions to the type of the range.

58.b
          Ramification: A conversion to a scalar type, or, equivalently,
          to an unconstrained scalar subtype, can raise Constraint_Error
          if the value is outside the base range of the type.

58.1/4
{<AI12-0027-1AI12-0027-1>} Evaluation of a value conversion of a
composite type either creates a new anonymous object[ (similar to the
object created by the evaluation of an aggregate or a function call)] or
yields a new view of the operand object without creating a new object:

58.2/4
   * If the target type is a by-reference type and there is a type that
     is an ancestor of both the target type and the operand type then no
     new object is created;

58.3/4
   * If the target type is an array type having aliased components and
     the operand type is an array type having unaliased components, then
     a new object is created;

58.4/4
   * Otherwise, it is unspecified whether a new object is created.

58.5/4
{<AI12-0027-1AI12-0027-1>} If a new object is created, then the
initialization of that object is an assignment operation.

58.b.1/4
          Reason: This makes a difference in the case of converting from
          an array type with unaliased components to one with aliased
          components if the element type has a controlled part.

     NOTES

59
     20  In addition to explicit type_conversions, type conversions are
     performed implicitly in situations where the expected type and the
     actual type of a construct differ, as is permitted by the type
     resolution rules (see *note 8.6::).  For example, an integer
     literal is of the type <universal_integer>, and is implicitly
     converted when assigned to a target of some specific integer type.
     Similarly, an actual parameter of a specific tagged type is
     implicitly converted when the corresponding formal parameter is of
     a class-wide type.

60
     Even when the expected and actual types are the same, implicit
     subtype conversions are performed to adjust the array bounds (if
     any) of an operand to match the desired target subtype, or to raise
     Constraint_Error if the (possibly adjusted) value does not satisfy
     the constraints of the target subtype.

61/2
     21  {<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} A ramification of the overload
     resolution rules is that the operand of an (explicit)
     type_conversion cannot be an allocator, an aggregate, a
     string_literal, a character_literal, or an attribute_reference for
     an Access or Unchecked_Access attribute.  Similarly, such an
     expression enclosed by parentheses is not allowed.  A
     qualified_expression (see *note 4.7::) can be used instead of such
     a type_conversion.

62
     22  The constraint of the target subtype has no effect for a
     type_conversion of an elementary type passed as an out parameter.
     Hence, it is recommended that the first subtype be specified as the
     target to minimize confusion (a similar recommendation applies to
     renaming and generic formal in out objects).

                              _Examples_

63
<Examples of numeric type conversion:>

     Integer(1.6)   <--  value is 2>
     Integer(-0.4)  <--  value is 0>

65
<Example of conversion between derived types:>

66

<Examples of conversions between array types:>

70
     type Sequence is array (Integer range <>) of Integer;
     subtype Dozen is Sequence(1 .. 12);

71
     Sequence(Ledger)            <--  bounds are those of Ledger>

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 83_

71.a
          A character_literal is not allowed as the operand of a
          type_conversion, since there are now two character types in
          package Standard.

71.b
          The component subtypes have to statically match in an array
          conversion, rather than being checked for matching constraints
          at run time.

71.c
          Because sliding of array bounds is now provided for operations
          where it was not in Ada 83, programs that used to raise
          Constraint_Error might now continue executing and produce a
          reasonable result.  This is likely to fix more bugs than it
          creates.

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

71.d
          A type_conversion is considered the name of an object in
          certain circumstances (such a type_conversion is called a view
          conversion).  In particular, as in Ada 83, a type_conversion
          can appear as an in out or out actual parameter.  In addition,
          if the target type is tagged and the operand is the name of an
          object, then so is the type_conversion, and it can be used as
          the prefix to a selected_component, in an
          object_renaming_declaration, etc.

71.e
          We no longer require type-mark conformance between a parameter
          of the form of a type conversion, and the corresponding formal
          parameter.  This had caused some problems for inherited
          subprograms (since there isn't really a type-mark for
          converted formals), as well as for renamings, formal
          subprograms, etc.  See AI83-00245, AI83-00318, AI83-00547.

71.f
          We now specify "deterministic" rounding from real to integer
          types when the value of the operand is exactly between two
          integers (rounding is away from zero in this case).

71.g
          "Sliding" of array bounds (which is part of conversion to an
          array subtype) is performed in more cases in Ada 95 than in
          Ada 83.  Sliding is not performed on the operand of a
          membership test, nor on the operand of a qualified_expression.
          It wouldn't make sense on a membership test, and we wish to
          retain a connection between subtype membership and subtype
          qualification.  In general, a subtype membership test returns
          True if and only if a corresponding subtype qualification
          succeeds without raising an exception.  Other operations that
          take arrays perform sliding.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

71.h
          We no longer explicitly list the kinds of things that are not
          allowed as the operand of a type_conversion, except in a NOTE.

71.i/3
          {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} The rules in this subclause subsume
          the rules for "parameters of the form of a type conversion,"
          and have been generalized to cover the use of a type
          conversion as a name.

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 95_

71.j/2
          {<AI95-00246-01AI95-00246-01>} Amendment Correction:
          Conversions between unrelated array types that are limited or
          (for view conversions) might be by-reference types are now
          illegal.  The representations of two such arrays may differ,
          making the conversions impossible.  We make the check here,
          because legality should not be based on representation
          properties.  Such conversions are likely to be rare, anyway.
          There is a potential that this change would make a working
          program illegal (if the types have the same representation).

71.k/2
          {<AI95-00363-01AI95-00363-01>} If a discriminated full type
          has a partial view (private type) that is constrained, we do
          not allow conversion between access-to-unconstrained and
          access-to-constrained subtypes designating the type.  Ada 95
          allowed this conversion and the declaration of various access
          subtypes, requiring that the designated object be constrained
          and thus making details of the implementation of the private
          type visible to the client of the private type.  See *note
          4.8:: for more on this topic.

                        _Extensions to Ada 95_

71.l/2
          {<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} Conversion rules for
          <universal_access> were defined.  These allow the use of
          anonymous access values in equality tests (see *note 4.5.2::),
          and also allow the use of null in type conversions and other
          contexts that do not provide a single expected type.

71.m/2
          {<AI95-00384-01AI95-00384-01>} A type conversion from an
          access-to-discriminated and unconstrained object to an
          access-to-discriminated and constrained one is allowed.  Ada
          95 only allowed the reverse conversion, which was weird and
          asymmetric.  Of course, a constraint check will be performed
          for this conversion.

          Corrigendum: Wording was added to ensure that view conversions
          are constrained, and that a tagged view conversion has a
          tagged object.  Both rules are needed to avoid having a way to
          change the discriminants of a constrained object.

71.o/2
          {<8652/00088652/0008>} {<AI95-00168-01AI95-00168-01>}
          Corrigendum: Wording was added to ensure that the aliased
          status of array components cannot change in a view conversion.
          This rule was needed to avoid having a way to change the
          discriminants of an aliased object.  This rule was repealed
          later, as Ada 2005 allows changing the discriminants of an
          aliased object.

71.p/2
          {<AI95-00231-01AI95-00231-01>} Wording was added to check

71.q/2
          {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} The organization of the
          legality rules was changed, both to make it clearer, and to
          eliminate an unintentional incompatibility with Ada 83.  The
          old organization prevented type conversions between some types
          that were related by derivation (which Ada 83 always allowed).

          Clarified that an untagged type conversion appearing as a

          is not a view conversion (and thus is illegal).  This confirms
          the ACATS tests, so all implementations already follow this
          interpretation.

71.s/2
          {<AI95-00363-01AI95-00363-01>} Rules added by the Corrigendum
          to eliminate problems with discriminants of aliased components
          changing were removed, as we now generally allow discriminants
          of aliased components to be changed.

71.t/2
          {<AI95-00392-01AI95-00392-01>} Accessibility checks on
          conversions involving types with anonymous access components
          were added.  These components have the level of the type, and
          conversions can be between types at different levels, which
          could cause dangling access values in the absence of such
          checks.

71.u/3
          {<AI05-0148-1AI05-0148-1>} A stand-alone object of an
          anonymous access-to-object type now has dynamic accessibility.
          Normally, this will make programs legal that were illegal in
          Ada 2005.  However, it is possible that a program that
          previously raised Program_Error now will not.  It is very
          unlikely that an existing program intentionally depends on the
          exception being raised; the change is more likely to fix bugs
          than introduce them.

          {<AI05-0115-1AI05-0115-1>} Correction: Clarified that a root

          {<AI05-0153-3AI05-0153-3>} {<AI05-0290-1AI05-0290-1>} Added

71.x/4
          {<AI12-0095-1AI12-0095-1>} Corrigendum: Because of a rule
          added in *note 12.5.1::, the checks for the legality of an
          access type conversion in a generic body were strengthened to
          use an assume the worst rule.  This case is rather unlikely as
          a formal private or derived type with discriminants is
          required along with a conversion between two access types
          whose designated types don't statically match, and any such
          programs were at risk having objects disappear while valid
          access values still pointed at them.

71.y/4
          {<AI12-0027-1AI12-0027-1>} Corrigendum: Moved the generic
          boilerplate so that it covers all Legality Rules in this
          subclause.  This was always intended, but it is not expected
          to change anything other than conversions between unrelated
          arrays.

71.z/4
          {<AI12-0027-1AI12-0027-1>} Corrigendum: Added a formal
          definition of the copy potentially created by a value
          conversion of a composite type, so properties like
          finalization and accessibility are properly defined.  This
          model was always intended and expected (else *note 13.6::
          would not work), but it was not previously formally defined.

71.aa/4
          {<AI12-0071-1AI12-0071-1>} Corrigendum: Updated wording of
          type conversions to use the new term "satisfies the
          predicates" (see *note 3.2.4::).

71.bb/4
          {<AI12-0074-1AI12-0074-1>} Corrigendum: Clarified the wording
          describing the effect of view conversions of out parameters
          such that it is clear that the detailed effect is defined in
          *note 6.4.1::, not here.

71.cc/4
          {<AI12-0096-1AI12-0096-1>} Corrigendum: Updated wording of
          type conversions so that the exception raise or other effect
          of a failed predicate check is as defined in *note 3.2.4::; we
          don't want to repeat those rules here.  This doesn't change
          the behavior for predicate checks possible in original Ada
          2012, only ones using the new aspect Predicate_Failure.

4.7 Qualified Expressions
=========================

1
[A qualified_expression is used to state explicitly the type, and to
verify the subtype, of an operand that is either an expression or an
aggregate.  ]

                               _Syntax_

2
     qualified_expression ::=
        subtype_mark'(expression) | subtype_mark'aggregate

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

3
The <operand> (the expression or aggregate) shall resolve to be of the
type determined by the subtype_mark (*note 3.2.2: S0028.), or a
universal type that covers it.

                          _Static Semantics_

3.1/3
{<AI05-0003-1AI05-0003-1>} [If the operand of a qualified_expression
denotes an object, the qualified_expression denotes a constant view of
that object.]  The nominal subtype of a qualified_expression is the
subtype denoted by the subtype_mark.

3.a/3
          Proof: {<AI05-0003-1AI05-0003-1>} This is stated in *note
          3.3::.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

4/4
{<AI12-0100-1AI12-0100-1>} The evaluation of a qualified_expression
evaluates the operand (and if of a universal type, converts it to the
type determined by the subtype_mark) and checks that its value belongs
to the subtype denoted by the subtype_mark.  The exception
Constraint_Error is raised if this check fails.  Furthermore, if
predicate checks are enabled for the subtype denoted by the
subtype_mark, a check is performed as defined in subclause *note
3.2.4::, "*note 3.2.4:: Subtype Predicates" that the value satifies the
predicates of the subtype.

4.a
          Ramification: This is one of the few contexts in Ada 95 where
          implicit subtype conversion is not performed prior to a
          constraint check, and hence no "sliding" of array bounds is
          provided.

4.a.1/4
          {<AI12-0100-1AI12-0100-1>} The effect of a failed predicate
          check is as defined in *note 3.2.4::; such a check could raise
          any exception, not just Constraint_Error or Assertion_Error.

4.b
          Reason: Implicit subtype conversion is not provided because a
          qualified_expression with a constrained target subtype is
          essentially an assertion about the subtype of the operand,
          rather than a request for conversion.  An explicit
          type_conversion can be used rather than a qualified_expression
          if subtype conversion is desired.

4.c/4
          {<AI12-0100-1AI12-0100-1>} We do a predicate check here so
          that a qualified_expression never allows something that the
          equivalent type_conversion would not allow.

     NOTES

5
     23  When a given context does not uniquely identify an expected
     type, a qualified_expression can be used to do so.  In particular,
     if an overloaded name or aggregate is passed to an overloaded
     subprogram, it might be necessary to qualify the operand to resolve
     its type.

                              _Examples_

6
<Examples of disambiguating expressions using qualification:>

7
     type Mask is (Fix, Dec, Exp, Signif);
     type Code is (Fix, Cla, Dec, Tnz, Sub);

8
     Print (Mask'(Dec));  <--  Dec is of type Mask>
     Print (Code'(Dec));  <--  Dec is of type Code >

9
     for J in Code'(Fix) .. Code'(Dec) loop ... <-- qualification needed for either Fix or Dec>
     for J in Code range Fix .. Dec loop ...    <-- qualification unnecessary>
     for J in Code'(Fix) .. Dec loop ...        <-- qualification unnecessary for Dec>

10.a/3
          {<AI05-0003-1AI05-0003-1>} Added a definition of the nominal
          subtype of a qualified_expression.

                    _Inconsistencies With Ada 2012_

10.b/4
          {<AI12-0100-1AI12-0100-1>} Corrigendum: A qualified_expression
          now performs a predicate check for the named subtype (if it is
          enabled).  Original Ada 2012 did not include that check (an
          omission).  While this is formally inconsistent (an exception
          could be raised when none would be raised by original Ada
          2012), cases when this could be the case are likely to be rare
          (the qualified expression would have to have a stricter
          subtype than the following usage) and the check is more likely
          to detect bugs than be unexpected.

4.8 Allocators
==============

1
[The evaluation of an allocator creates an object and yields an access
value that designates the object.  ]

                               _Syntax_

2/3
     {<AI05-0111-3AI05-0111-3>} allocator ::=
        new [subpool_specification] subtype_indication
      | new [subpool_specification] qualified_expression

2.1/3
     {<AI05-0111-3AI05-0111-3>} subpool_specification ::=
     (<subpool_handle_>name)

2.2/3
     {<AI05-0104-1AI05-0104-1>} For an allocator with a
     subtype_indication, the subtype_indication shall not specify a
     null_exclusion.

2.a/3
          Reason: Such an uninitialized allocator would necessarily
          raise Constraint_Error, as the default value is null.  Also
          note that the syntax does not allow a null_exclusion in an
          initialized allocator, so it makes sense to make the
          uninitialized case illegal as well.

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

3/3
{<8652/00108652/0010>} {<AI95-00127-01AI95-00127-01>}
{<AI05-0111-3AI05-0111-3>} {<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>} The expected type
for an allocator shall be a single access-to-object type with designated
type <D> such that either <D> covers the type determined by the
subtype_mark of the subtype_indication (*note 3.2.2: S0027.) or
qualified_expression (*note 4.7: S0142.), or the expected type is
anonymous and the determined type is <D>'Class.  A <subpool_handle_>name
is expected to be of any type descended from Subpool_Handle, which is
the type used to identify a subpool, declared in package
System.Storage_Pools.Subpools (see *note 13.11.4::).

3.a
          Discussion: See *note 8.6::, "*note 8.6:: The Context of
          Overload Resolution" for the meaning of "shall be a single ...
          type whose ..."

3.a.1/1
          Ramification: {<8652/00108652/0010>}
          {<AI95-00127-01AI95-00127-01>} An allocator is allowed as a
          controlling parameter of a dispatching call (see *note
          3.9.2::).

                           _Legality Rules_

4
An <initialized> allocator is an allocator with a qualified_expression.An <uninitialized> allocator is one with a subtype_indication.  In the
subtype_indication of an uninitialized allocator, a constraint is
permitted only if the subtype_mark denotes an [unconstrained] composite
subtype; if there is no constraint, then the subtype_mark shall denote a
definite subtype.  

4.a
          Ramification: For example, ...  new S'Class ...  (with no
          initialization expression) is illegal, but ...  new
          S'Class'(X) ...  is legal, and takes its tag and constraints
          from the initial value X. (Note that the former case cannot
          have a constraint.)

5/2
{<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>} If the type of the allocator is an
access-to-constant type, the allocator shall be an initialized
allocator.

5.a/2
          <This paragraph was deleted.>{<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>}

5.1/3
{<AI05-0111-3AI05-0111-3>} If a subpool_specification is given, the type
of the storage pool of the access type shall be a descendant of
Root_Storage_Pool_With_Subpools.

5.2/3
{<AI95-00344-01AI95-00344-01>} If the designated type of the type of the
allocator is class-wide, the accessibility level of the type determined
by the subtype_indication or qualified_expression shall not be
statically deeper than that of the type of the allocator.

5.b/2
          Reason: This prevents the allocated object from outliving its
          type.

5.3/3
{<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>} {<AI05-0051-1AI05-0051-1>} If the subtype
determined by the subtype_indication or qualified_expression of the
allocator has one or more access discriminants, then the accessibility
level of the anonymous access type of each access discriminant shall not
be statically deeper than that of the type of the allocator (see *note
3.10.2::).

5.c/2
          Reason: This prevents the allocated object from outliving its
          discriminants.

5.4/3
{<AI95-00366-01AI95-00366-01>} {<AI05-0052-1AI05-0052-1>}
{<AI05-0157-1AI05-0157-1>} An allocator shall not be of an access type
for which the Storage_Size has been specified by a static expression
with value zero or is defined by the language to be zero.

5.d/2
          Reason: An allocator for an access type that has Storage_Size
          specified to be zero is required to raise Storage_Error
          anyway.  It's better to detect the error at compile-time, as
          the allocator might be executed infrequently.  This also
          simplifies the rules for Pure units, where we do not want to
          allow any allocators for library-level access types, as they
          would represent state.

5.e/3
          {<AI05-0157-1AI05-0157-1>} We don't need a special rule to
          cover generic formals (unlike many other similar Legality
          Rules).  There are only two cases of interest.  For formal
          access types, the Storage_Size property is not known in the
          generic, and surely isn't static, so this Legality Rule can
          never apply.  For a formal derived type, this Legality Rule
          can only be triggered by a parent type having one of the
          appropriate properties.  But Storage_Size can never be
          specified for a derived access type, so it always has the same
          value for all child types; additionally, a type derived from a
          remote access type (which has Storage_Size defined to be zero)
          is also a remote access type.  That means that any actual that
          would match the formal derived type necessarily has the same
          Storage_Size properties, so it is harmless (and preferable) to
          check them in the body - they are always known in that case.
          For other formal types,allocators are not allowed, so we don't
          need to consider them.  So we don't need an assume-the-best
          rule here.

5.5/3
{<AI05-0052-1AI05-0052-1>} If the designated type of the type of the
allocator is limited, then the allocator shall not be used to define the
value of an access discriminant, unless the discriminated type is
immutably limited (see *note 7.5::).

5.f/3
          Reason: Because coextensions work very much like parts, we
          don't want users creating limited coextensions for nonlimited
          types.  This would be similar to extending a nonlimited type
          with a limited component.  We check this on the allocator.
          Note that there is an asymmetry in what types are considered
          limited; this is required to preserve privacy.  We have to
          assume that the designated type might be limited as soon as we
          see a limited partial view, but we want to ensure that the
          containing object is of a type that is always limited.

5.6/3
{<AI05-0052-1AI05-0052-1>} In addition to the places where Legality
Rules normally apply (see *note 12.3::), these rules apply also in the
private part of an instance of a generic unit.

5.g/3
          Discussion: This applies to all of the Legality Rules of this
          subclause.

                          _Static Semantics_

6/3
{<AI95-00363-01AI95-00363-01>} {<AI05-0041-1AI05-0041-1>} If the
designated type of the type of the allocator is elementary, then the
subtype of the created object is the designated subtype.  If the
designated type is composite, then the subtype of the created object is
the designated subtype when the designated subtype is constrained or
there is an ancestor of the designated type that has a constrained
partial view; otherwise, the created object is constrained by its
initial value [(even if the designated subtype is unconstrained with
defaults)].  

6.a
          Discussion: See AI83-00331.

6.b/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00363-01AI95-00363-01>} All objects created by
          an allocator are aliased, and most aliased composite objects
          need to be constrained so that access subtypes work
          reasonably.  Problematic access subtypes are prohibited for
          types with a constrained partial view.

6.c/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00363-01AI95-00363-01>} If there is a
          constrained partial view of the type, this allows the objects
          to be unconstrained.  This eliminates privacy breaking (we
          don't want the objects to act differently simply because
          they're allocated).  Such a created object is effectively
          constrained by its initial value if the access type is an
          access-to-constant type, or the designated type is limited (in
          all views), but we don't need to state that here.  It is
          implicit in other rules.  Note, however, that a value of an
          access-to-constant type can designate a variable object via
          'Access or conversion, and the variable object might be
          assigned by some other access path, and that assignment might
          alter the discriminants.

For the evaluation of an uninitialized allocator, the elaboration of the

     subtype_indication to determine its nominal subtype.  A check is
     made that the value of the object belongs to the designated
     subtype.  Constraint_Error is raised if this check fails.  This
     check and the initialization of the object are performed in an

the type of the allocator.  If any part of the subtype determined by the
subtype_indication or qualified_expression of the allocator (or by the
tag of the value if the type of the qualified_expression is class-wide)
has one or more access discriminants, then a check is made that the
accessibility level of the anonymous access type of each access
discriminant is not deeper than that of the type of the allocator.

          are statically detected).

          {<AI05-0024-1AI05-0024-1>} We can't use the normal
          accessibility level "deeper than" check here because we may
          have "incomparable" levels if the appropriate master and the
          type declaration belong to two different tasks.  This can
          happen when checking the master of the tag for an allocator
          initialized by a parameter passed in to an accept statement,
          if the type of the allocator is an access type declared in the
          enclosing task body.  For example:

10.b.2/3
               task body TT is
                  type Acc_TC is access T'Class;
                  P : Acc_TC;
               begin
                  accept E(X : T'Class) do
                     P := new T'Class'(X);
                        <--  Master check on tag of X.>
                        <--  Can't use "accessibility levels" since they might be incomparable.>
                        <--  Must revert to checking that the master of the type identified by>
                        <--  X'tag includes the elaboration of Acc_TC, so it is sure to outlive it.>
                  end E;

10.c/2
          {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>} The accessibility check on
          access discriminants prevents the allocated object from
          outliving its discriminants.

10.2/2
{<AI95-00280-01AI95-00280-01>} If the object to be created by an
allocator has a controlled or protected part, and the finalization of
the collection of the type of the allocator (see *note 7.6.1::) has
started, Program_Error is raised.  

10.d/2
          Reason: If the object has a controlled or protected part, its
          finalization is likely to be nontrivial.  If the allocation
          was allowed, we could not know whether the finalization would
          actually be performed.  That would be dangerous to otherwise
          safe abstractions, so we mandate a check here.  On the other
          hand, if the finalization of the object will be trivial, we do
          not require (but allow) the check, as no real harm could come
          from late allocation.

10.e/2
          Discussion: This check can only fail if an allocator is
          evaluated in code reached from a Finalize routine for a type
          declared in the same master.  That's highly unlikely; Finalize
          routines are much more likely to be deallocating objects than
          allocating them.

10.3/2
{<AI95-00280-01AI95-00280-01>} If the object to be created by an
allocator contains any tasks, and the master of the type of the
allocator is completed, and all of the dependent tasks of the master are
terminated (see *note 9.3::), then Program_Error is raised.  

10.f/2
          Reason: A task created after waiting for tasks has finished
          could depend on freed data structures, and certainly would
          never be awaited.

10.4/3
{<AI05-0111-3AI05-0111-3>} If the allocator includes a
<subpool_handle_>name, Constraint_Error is raised if the subpool handle
is null.  Program_Error is raised if the subpool does not <belong> (see
*note 13.11.4::) to the storage pool of the access type of the
allocator.  

10.g/3
          Implementation Note: This can be implemented by comparing the
          result of Pool_of_Subpool to a reference to the storage pool
          object.  Pool_of_Subpool's parameter is not null, so the check
          for null falls out naturally.

10.h/3
          Reason: This detects cases where the subpool belongs to
          another pool, or to no pool at all.  This includes detecting
          dangling subpool handles so long as the subpool object (the
          object designated by the handle) still exists.  (If the
          subpool object has been deallocated, execution is erroneous;
          it is likely that this check will still detect the problem,
          but there cannot be a guarantee.)

11
[If the created object contains any tasks, they are activated (see *note
9.2::).]  Finally, an access value that designates the created object is
returned.

                      _Bounded (Run-Time) Errors_

11.1/2
{<AI95-00280-01AI95-00280-01>}  It is a bounded error if the
finalization of the collection of the type (see *note 7.6.1::) of the
allocator has started.  If the error is detected, Program_Error is
raised.  Otherwise, the allocation proceeds normally.

11.a/2
          Discussion: This check is required in some cases; see above.

     NOTES

12
     24  Allocators cannot create objects of an abstract type.  See
     *note 3.9.3::.

13
     25  If any part of the created object is controlled, the
     initialization includes calls on corresponding Initialize or Adjust
     procedures.  See *note 7.6::.

14
     26  As explained in *note 13.11::, "*note 13.11:: Storage
     Management", the storage for an object allocated by an allocator
     comes from a storage pool (possibly user defined).  The exception
     Storage_Error is raised by an allocator if there is not enough
     storage.  Instances of Unchecked_Deallocation may be used to
     explicitly reclaim storage.

15/3
     27  {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} Implementations are permitted, but
     not required, to provide garbage collection.

15.a
          Ramification: Note that in an allocator, the exception
          Constraint_Error can be raised by the evaluation of the
          qualified_expression, by the elaboration of the
          subtype_indication, or by the initialization.

15.b
          Discussion: By default, the implementation provides the
          storage pool.  The user may exercise more control over storage
          management by associating a user-defined pool with an access
          type.

                              _Examples_

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 83_

20.a/1
          The subtype_indication of an uninitialized allocator may not
          have an explicit constraint if the designated type is an
          access type.  In Ada 83, this was permitted even though the
          constraint had no effect on the subtype of the created object.

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

20.b
          Allocators creating objects of type <T> are now overloaded on
          access types designating <T'>Class and all class-wide types
          that cover <T>.

20.c
          Implicit array subtype conversion (sliding) is now performed
          as part of an initialized allocator.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

20.d
          We have used a new organization, inspired by the ACID
          document, that makes it clearer what is the subtype of the
          created object, and what subtype conversions take place.

20.e
          Discussion of storage management issues, such as garbage
          collection and the raising of Storage_Error, has been moved to
          *note 13.11::, "*note 13.11:: Storage Management".

                     _Inconsistencies With Ada 95_

20.f/2
          {<AI95-00363-01AI95-00363-01>} If the designated type has a
          constrained partial view, the allocated object can be
          unconstrained.  This might cause the object to take up a
          different amount of memory, and might cause the operations to
          work where they previously would have raised Constraint_Error.
          It's unlikely that the latter would actually matter in a real
          program (Constraint_Error usually indicates a bug that would
          be fixed, not left in a program.)  The former might cause
          Storage_Error to be raised at a different time than in an Ada
          95 program.

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 95_

20.g/2
          {<AI95-00366-01AI95-00366-01>} An allocator for an access type
          that has Storage_Size specified to be zero is now illegal.
          Ada 95 allowed the allocator, but it had to raise
          Storage_Error if executed.  The primary impact of this change
          should be to detect bugs.

                        _Extensions to Ada 95_

20.h/2
          {<8652/00108652/0010>} {<AI95-00127-01AI95-00127-01>}
          Corrigendum: An allocator can be a controlling parameter of a
          dispatching call.  This was an oversight in Ada 95.

20.i/2
          {<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>} Initialized allocators are
          allowed when the designated type is limited.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

20.j/2
          {<8652/00028652/0002>} {<AI95-00171-01AI95-00171-01>}
          Corrigendum: Clarified the elaboration of per-object
          constraints for an uninitialized allocator.

20.k/2
          {<AI95-00280-01AI95-00280-01>} Program_Error is now raised if
          the allocator occurs after the finalization of the collection
          or the waiting for tasks.  This is not listed as an
          incompatibility as the Ada 95 behavior was unspecified, and
          Ada 95 implementations tend to generate programs that crash in
          this case.

20.l/2
          {<AI95-00344-01AI95-00344-01>} Added accessibility checks to
          class-wide allocators.  These checks could not fail in Ada 95
          (as all of the designated types had to be declared at the same
          level, so the access type would necessarily have been at the
          same level or more nested than the type of allocated object).

20.m/2
          {<AI95-00373-01AI95-00373-01>} Revised the description of
          evaluation of uninitialized allocators to use "initialized by
          default" so that the ordering requirements are the same for
          all kinds of objects that are default-initialized.

20.n/2
          {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>} Added accessibility checks to
          access discriminants of allocators.  These checks could not
          fail in Ada 95 as the discriminants always have the
          accessibility of the object.

                   _Incompatibilities With Ada 2005_

20.o/3
          {<AI05-0052-1AI05-0052-1>} Correction: Added a rule to prevent
          limited coextensions of nonlimited types.  Allowing this would
          have far-reaching implementation costs.  Because of those
          costs, it seems unlikely that any implementation ever
          supported it properly and thus it is unlikely that any
          existing code depends on this capability.

20.p/3
          {<AI05-0104-1AI05-0104-1>} Correction: Added a rule to make
          null_exclusions illegal for uninitialized allocators, as such
          an allocator would always raise Constraint_Error.  Programs
          that depend on the unconditional raising of a predefined
          exception should be very rare.

                       _Extensions to Ada 2005_

20.q/3
          {<AI05-0111-3AI05-0111-3>} Subpool handles (see *note
          13.11.4::) can be specified in an allocator.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

20.r/3
          {<AI05-0024-1AI05-0024-1>} Correction: Corrected the master
          check for tags since the masters may be for different tasks
          and thus incomparable.

20.s/3
          {<AI05-0041-1AI05-0041-1>} Correction: Corrected the rules for
          when a designated object is constrained by its initial value
          so that types derived from a partial view are handled
          properly.

20.t/3
          {<AI05-0051-1AI05-0051-1>} {<AI05-0234-1AI05-0234-1>}
          Correction: Corrected the accessibility check for access
          discriminants so that it does not depend on the designated
          type (which might not have discriminants when the allocated
          type does).

4.9 Static Expressions and Static Subtypes
==========================================

1
Certain expressions of a scalar or string type are defined to be static.
Similarly, certain discrete ranges are defined to be static, and certain
scalar and string subtypes are defined to be static subtypes.  [
<Static> means determinable at compile time, using the declared
properties or values of the program entities.]  

1.a
          Discussion: As opposed to more elaborate data flow analysis,
          etc.

                     _Language Design Principles_

1.b
          For an expression to be static, it has to be calculable at
          compile time.

1.c
          Only scalar and string expressions are static.

1.d
          To be static, an expression cannot have any nonscalar,
          nonstring subexpressions (though it can have nonscalar
          constituent names).  A static scalar expression cannot have
          any nonscalar subexpressions.  There is one exception -- a
          membership test for a string subtype can be static, and the
          result is scalar, even though a subexpression is nonscalar.

1.e
          The rules for evaluating static expressions are designed to
          maximize portability of static calculations.

2
A static expression is [a scalar or string expression that is] one of
the following:

3
   * a numeric_literal;

3.a
          Ramification: A numeric_literal is always a static expression,
          even if its expected type is not that of a static subtype.
          However, if its value is explicitly converted to, or qualified
          by, a nonstatic subtype, the resulting expression is
          nonstatic.

4
   * a string_literal of a static string subtype;

4.a
          Ramification: That is, the constrained subtype defined by the
          index range of the string is static.  Note that elementary
          values don't generally have subtypes, while composite values
          do (since the bounds or discriminants are inherent in the
          value).

5
   * a name that denotes the declaration of a named number or a static
     constant;

5.a
          Ramification: Note that enumeration literals are covered by
          the function_call case.

6
   * a function_call whose <function_>name or <function_>prefix
     statically denotes a static function, and whose actual parameters,
     if any (whether given explicitly or by default), are all static
     expressions;

6.a
          Ramification: This includes uses of operators that are
          equivalent to function_calls.

7
   * an attribute_reference that denotes a scalar value, and whose
     prefix denotes a static scalar subtype;

7.a
          Ramification: Note that this does not include the case of an
          attribute that is a function; a reference to such an attribute
          is not even an expression.  See above for function <calls>.

7.b
          An implementation may define the staticness and other
          properties of implementation-defined attributes.

8
   * an attribute_reference whose prefix statically denotes a statically
     constrained array object or array subtype, and whose
     attribute_designator is First, Last, or Length, with an optional
     dimension;

9
   * a type_conversion whose subtype_mark denotes a static scalar
     subtype, and whose operand is a static expression;

10
   * a qualified_expression whose subtype_mark denotes a static [(scalar
     or string)] subtype, and whose operand is a static expression;

10.a
          Ramification: This rules out the subtype_mark'aggregate case.

10.b
          Reason: Adding qualification to an expression shouldn't make
          it nonstatic, even for strings.

11/4
   * {<AI05-0158-1AI05-0158-1>} {<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>}
     {<AI12-0039-1AI12-0039-1>} a membership test whose
     <tested_>simple_expression is a static expression, and whose
     membership_choice_list consists only of membership_choices that are
     either static <choice_>simple_expressions, static ranges, or
     subtype_marks that denote a static [(scalar or string)] subtype;

11.a
          Reason: Clearly, we should allow membership tests in exactly
          the same cases where we allow qualified_expressions.

12
   * a short-circuit control form both of whose relations are static
     expressions;

12.1/3
   * {<AI05-0147-1AI05-0147-1>} {<AI05-0188-1AI05-0188-1>} a
     conditional_expression all of whose conditions,
     <selecting_>expressions, and <dependent_>expressions are static
     expressions;

13
   * a static expression enclosed in parentheses.

13.a
          Discussion: Informally, we talk about a <static value>.  When
          we do, we mean a value specified by a static expression.

13.b
          Ramification: The language requires a static expression in a
          number_declaration, a numeric type definition, a
          discrete_choice (sometimes), certain representation items, an
          attribute_designator, and when specifying the value of a
          discriminant governing a variant_part in a record_aggregate or
          extension_aggregate.

14
A name <statically denotes> an entity if it denotes the entity and:

15
   * It is a direct_name, expanded name, or character_literal, and it
     denotes a declaration other than a renaming_declaration; or

16
   * It is an attribute_reference whose prefix statically denotes some
     entity; or

17
   * It denotes a renaming_declaration with a name that statically
     denotes the renamed entity.

17.a
          Ramification: Selected_components that are not expanded names
          and indexed_components do not statically denote things.

18
A <static function> is one of the following:

18.a
          Ramification: These are the functions whose calls can be
          static expressions.

19
   * a predefined operator whose parameter and result types are all
     scalar types none of which are descendants of formal scalar types;

20
   * a predefined concatenation operator whose result type is a string
     type;

21
   * an enumeration literal;

22
   * a language-defined attribute that is a function, if the prefix
     denotes a static scalar subtype, and if the parameter and result
     types are scalar.

23
In any case, a generic formal subprogram is not a static function.

24
A <static constant> is a constant view declared by a full constant
declaration or an object_renaming_declaration (*note 8.5.1: S0200.) with
a static nominal subtype, having a value defined by a static scalar
expression or by a static string expression whose value has a length not
exceeding the maximum length of a string_literal (*note 2.6: S0016.) in
the implementation.

24.a
          Ramification: A deferred constant is not static; the view
          introduced by the corresponding full constant declaration can
          be static.

24.b/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} The reason for restricting
          the length of static string constants is so that compilers
          don't have to store giant strings in their symbol tables.
          Since most string constants will be initialized from
          string_literals, the length limit seems pretty natural.  The
          reason for avoiding nonstring types is also to save symbol
          table space.  We're trying to keep it cheap and simple (from
          the implementer's viewpoint), while still allowing, for
          example, the aspect_definition for a Link_Name aspect to
          contain a concatenation.

24.c
          The length we're talking about is the maximum number of
          characters in the value represented by a string_literal, not
          the number of characters in the source representation; the
          quotes don't count.

A <static range> is a range whose bounds are static expressions, [or a
range_attribute_reference (*note 4.1.4: S0102.) that is equivalent to
such a range.]  A <static discrete_range (*note 3.6.1: S0058.)> is one
that is a static range or is a subtype_indication (*note 3.2.2: S0027.)
that defines a static scalar subtype.  The base range of a scalar type
is a static range, unless the type is a descendant of a formal scalar
type.

26/3
{<AI95-00263-01AI95-00263-01>} {<AI05-0153-3AI05-0153-3>} A <static
subtype> is either a <static scalar subtype> or a <static string
subtype>.  A static scalar subtype is an unconstrained scalar subtype
whose type is not a descendant of a formal type, or a constrained scalar
subtype formed by imposing a compatible static constraint on a static
scalar subtype.  A static string subtype is an unconstrained string
subtype whose index subtype and component subtype are static, or a
constrained string subtype formed by imposing a compatible static
constraint on a static string subtype.  In any case, the subtype of a
generic formal object of mode in out, and the result subtype of a
generic formal function, are not static.  Also, a subtype is not static
if any Dynamic_Predicate specifications apply to it.

26.a
          Ramification: String subtypes are the only composite subtypes
          that can be static.

26.b
          Reason: The part about generic formal objects of mode in out
          is necessary because the subtype of the formal is not required
          to have anything to do with the subtype of the actual.  For
          example:

26.c
               subtype Int10 is Integer range 1..10;

26.d
               generic
                   F : in out Int10;
               procedure G;

26.e
               procedure G is
               begin
                   case F is
                       when 1..10 => null;
                       --< Illegal!>
                   end case;
               end G;

26.f
               X : Integer range 1..20;
               procedure I is new G(F => X); --< OK.>

26.g
          The case_statement is illegal, because the subtype of F is not
          static, so the choices have to cover all values of Integer,
          not just those in the range 1..10.  A similar issue arises for
          generic formal functions, now that function calls are object
          names.

27
The different kinds of <static constraint> are defined as follows:

28
   * A null constraint is always static;

29
   * A scalar constraint is static if it has no range_constraint, or one
     with a static range;

30
   * An index constraint is static if each discrete_range is static, and
     each index subtype of the corresponding array type is static;

31
   * A discriminant constraint is static if each expression of the
     constraint is static, and the subtype of each discriminant is
     static.

31.1/2
{<AI95-00311-01AI95-00311-01>} In any case, the constraint of the first
subtype of a scalar formal type is neither static nor null.

32
A subtype is <statically constrained> if it is constrained, and its
constraint is static.  An object is <statically constrained> if its
nominal subtype is statically constrained, or if it is a static string
constant.

                           _Legality Rules_

32.1/3
{<AI05-0147-1AI05-0147-1>} An expression is <statically unevaluated> if
it is part of:

32.2/3
   * {<AI05-0147-1AI05-0147-1>} the right operand of a static
     short-circuit control form whose value is determined by its left
     operand; or

32.3/3
   * {<AI05-0147-1AI05-0147-1>} {<AI05-0188-1AI05-0188-1>} a
     <dependent_>expression of an if_expression whose associated
     condition is static and equals False; or

32.4/3
   * {<AI05-0147-1AI05-0147-1>} {<AI05-0188-1AI05-0188-1>} a condition
     or <dependent_>expression of an if_expression where the condition
     corresponding to at least one preceding <dependent_>expression of
     the if_expression is static and equals True; or

32.a/3
          Reason: We need this bullet so that only a single
          <dependent_>expression is evaluated in a static if_expression
          if there is more than one condition that evaluates to True.
          The part about conditions makes

32.b/3
               (if N = 0 then Min elsif 10_000/N > Min then 10_000/N else Min)

32.c/3
          legal if N and Min are static and N = 0.

32.d/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0147-1AI05-0147-1>}
          {<AI05-0188-1AI05-0188-1>} We need the "of the if_expression"
          here so there is no confusion for nested if_expressions; this
          rule only applies to the conditions and
          <dependent_>expressions of a single if_expression.  Similar
          reasoning applies to the "of a case_expression" of the last
          bullet.

32.5/3
   * {<AI05-0188-1AI05-0188-1>} {<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>} a
     <dependent_>expression of a case_expression whose
     <selecting_>expression is static and whose value is not covered by
     the corresponding discrete_choice_list; or

32.6/4
   * {<AI05-0158-1AI05-0158-1>} {<AI12-0039-1AI12-0039-1>} a
     <choice_>simple_expression (or a simple_expression of a range that
     occurs as a membership_choice of a membership_choice_list) of a
     static membership test that is preceded in the enclosing
     membership_choice_list by another item whose individual membership
     test (see *note 4.5.2::) statically yields True.

33/3
{<AI05-0147-1AI05-0147-1>} A static expression is evaluated at compile
time except when it is statically unevaluated.  The compile-time
evaluation of a static expression is performed exactly, without
performing Overflow_Checks.  For a static expression that is evaluated:

34/3
   * {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} The expression is illegal if its
     evaluation fails a language-defined check other than
     Overflow_Check.  For the purposes of this evaluation, the assertion
     policy is assumed to be Check.

34.a/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} Assertion policies can
          control whether checks are made, but we don't want assertion
          policies to affect legality.  For Ada 2012, subtype predicates
          are the only checks controlled by the assertion policy that
          can appear in static expressions.

35/2
   * {<AI95-00269-01AI95-00269-01>} If the expression is not part of a
     larger static expression and the expression is expected to be of a
     single specific type, then its value shall be within the base range
     of its expected type.  Otherwise, the value may be arbitrarily
     large or small.

35.a/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00269-01AI95-00269-01>} If the expression
          is expected to be of a universal type, or of "any integer
          type", there are no limits on the value of the expression.

36/2
   * {<AI95-00269-01AI95-00269-01>} If the expression is of type
     <universal_real> and its expected type is a decimal fixed point
     type, then its value shall be a multiple of the <small> of the
     decimal type.  This restriction does not apply if the expected type
     is a descendant of a formal scalar type (or a corresponding actual
     type in an instance).

36.a
          Ramification: This means that a numeric_literal for a decimal
          type cannot have "extra" significant digits.

36.b/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00269-01AI95-00269-01>} The small is not known
          for a generic formal type, so we have to exclude formal types
          from this check.

37/2
{<AI95-00269-01AI95-00269-01>} In addition to the places where Legality
Rules normally apply (see *note 12.3::), the above restrictions also
apply in the private part of an instance of a generic unit.

37.a
          Discussion: Values outside the base range are not permitted
          when crossing from the "static" domain to the "dynamic"
          domain.  This rule is designed to enhance portability of
          programs containing static expressions.  Note that this rule
          applies to the exact value, not the value after any rounding
          or truncation.  (See below for the rounding and truncation
          requirements.)

37.b
          Short-circuit control forms are a special case:

37.c
               N: constant := 0.0;
               X: constant Boolean := (N = 0.0) or else (1.0/N > 0.5); --< Static.>

37.d
          The declaration of X is legal, since the divide-by-zero part
          of the expression is not evaluated.  X is a static constant
          equal to True.

                     _Implementation Requirements_

38/2
{<AI95-00268-01AI95-00268-01>} {<AI95-00269-01AI95-00269-01>} For a real
static expression that is not part of a larger static expression, and
whose expected type is not a descendant of a formal type, the
implementation shall round or truncate the value (according to the
Machine_Rounds attribute of the expected type) to the nearest machine
number of the expected type; if the value is exactly half-way between
two machine numbers, the rounding performed is implementation-defined.
If the expected type is a descendant of a formal type, or if the static
expression appears in the body of an instance of a generic unit and the
corresponding expression is nonstatic in the corresponding generic body,
then no special rounding or truncating is required -- normal accuracy
rules apply (see *note Annex G::).

38.a.1/2
          Implementation defined: Rounding of real static expressions
          which are exactly half-way between two machine numbers.

38.a/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00268-01AI95-00268-01>} Discarding extended
          precision enhances portability by ensuring that the value of a
          static constant of a real type is always a machine number of
          the type.

38.b
          When the expected type is a descendant of a formal floating
          point type, extended precision (beyond that of the machine
          numbers) can be retained when evaluating a static expression,
          to ease code sharing for generic instantiations.  For similar
          reasons, normal (nondeterministic) rounding or truncating
          rules apply for descendants of a formal fixed point type.

38.b.1/2
          {<AI95-00269-01AI95-00269-01>} There is no requirement for
          exact evaluation or special rounding in an instance body
          (unless the expression is static in the generic body).  This
          eliminates a potential contract issue where the exact value of
          a static expression depends on the actual parameters (which
          could then affect the legality of other code).

38.c
          Implementation Note: Note that the implementation of static
          expressions has to keep track of plus and minus zero for a
          type whose Signed_Zeros attribute is True.

38.d/2
          {<AI95-00100-01AI95-00100-01>} Note that the only machine
          numbers of a fixed point type are the multiples of the small,
          so a static conversion to a fixed-point type, or division by
          an integer, must do truncation to a multiple of small.  It is
          not correct for the implementation to do all static
          calculations in infinite precision.

                        _Implementation Advice_

38.1/2
{<AI95-00268-01AI95-00268-01>} For a real static expression that is not
part of a larger static expression, and whose expected type is not a
descendant of a formal type, the rounding should be the same as the
default rounding for the target system.

38.e/2
          Implementation Advice: A real static expression with a
          nonformal type that is not part of a larger static expression
          should be rounded the same as the target system.

     NOTES

39
     28  An expression can be static even if it occurs in a context
     where staticness is not required.

39.a
          Ramification: For example:

39.b
               X : Float := Float'(1.0E+400) + 1.0 - Float'(1.0E+400);

39.c
          The expression is static, which means that the value of X must
          be exactly 1.0, independent of the accuracy or range of the
          run-time floating point implementation.

39.d
          The following kinds of expressions are never static:
          explicit_dereference, indexed_component, slice, null,
          aggregate, allocator.

40
     29  A static (or run-time) type_conversion from a real type to an
     integer type performs rounding.  If the operand value is exactly
     half-way between two integers, the rounding is performed away from
     zero.

40.a
          Reason: We specify this for portability.  The reason for not
          choosing round-to-nearest-even, for example, is that this
          method is easier to undo.

40.b
          Ramification: The attribute Truncation (see *note A.5.3::) can
          be used to perform a (static) truncation prior to conversion,
          to prevent rounding.

40.c
          Implementation Note: The value of the literal
          0E999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 is zero.  The
          implementation must take care to evaluate such literals
          properly.

                              _Examples_

41

     Deg_To_Rad : constant := Half_Pi/90;
     Rad_To_Deg : constant := 1.0/Deg_To_Rad; <-- equivalent to 1.0/((3.14159_26536/2)/90)>

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

44.a
          The rules for static expressions and static subtypes are
          generalized to allow more kinds of compile-time-known
          expressions to be used where compile-time-known values are
          required, as follows:

44.b
             * Membership tests and short-circuit control forms may
               appear in a static expression.

44.c
             * The bounds and length of statically constrained array
               objects or subtypes are static.

44.d
             * The Range attribute of a statically constrained array
               subtype or object gives a static range.

44.e
             * A type_conversion is static if the subtype_mark denotes a
               static scalar subtype and the operand is a static
               expression.

44.f
             * All numeric literals are now static, even if the expected
               type is a formal scalar type.  This is useful in
               case_statements and variant_parts, which both now allow a
               value of a formal scalar type to control the selection,
               to ease conversion of a package into a generic package.
               Similarly, named array aggregates are also permitted for
               array types with an index type that is a formal scalar
               type.

44.g
          The rules for the evaluation of static expressions are revised
          to require exact evaluation at compile time, and force a
          machine number result when crossing from the static realm to
          the dynamic realm, to enhance portability and predictability.
          Exact evaluation is not required for descendants of a formal
          scalar type, to simplify generic code sharing and to avoid
          generic contract model problems.

44.h
          Static expressions are legal even if an intermediate in the
          expression goes outside the base range of the type.
          Therefore, the following will succeed in Ada 95, whereas it
          might raise an exception in Ada 83:

44.i
               type Short_Int is range -32_768 .. 32_767;
               I : Short_Int := -32_768;

44.j
          This might raise an exception in Ada 83 because "32_768" is
          out of range, even though "-32_768" is not.  In Ada 95, this
          will always succeed.

44.k
          Certain expressions involving string operations (in particular
          concatenation and membership tests) are considered static in
          Ada 95.

44.l
          The reason for this change is to simplify the rule requiring
          compile-time-known string expressions as the link name in an
          interfacing pragma, and to simplify the preelaborability
          rules.

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 83_

44.m
          An Ada 83 program that uses an out-of-range static value is
          illegal in Ada 95, unless the expression is part of a larger
          static expression, or the expression is not evaluated due to
          being on the right-hand side of a short-circuit control form.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

44.n/3
          {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} This subclause (and *note 4.5.5::,
          "*note 4.5.5:: Multiplying Operators") subsumes the RM83
          section on Universal Expressions.

44.o
          The existence of static string expressions necessitated
          changing the definition of static subtype to include string
          subtypes.  Most occurrences of "static subtype" have been
          changed to "static scalar subtype", in order to preserve the
          effect of the Ada 83 rules.  This has the added benefit of
          clarifying the difference between "static subtype" and
          "statically constrained subtype", which has been a source of
          confusion.  In cases where we allow static string subtypes, we
          explicitly use phrases like "static string subtype" or "static
          (scalar or string) subtype", in order to clarify the meaning
          for those who have gotten used to the Ada 83 terminology.

44.p
          In Ada 83, an expression was considered nonstatic if it raised
          an exception.  Thus, for example:

44.q
               Bad: constant := 1/0; --< Illegal!>

44.r
          was illegal because 1/0 was not static.  In Ada 95, the above
          example is still illegal, but for a different reason: 1/0 is
          static, but there's a separate rule forbidding the exception
          raising.

                     _Inconsistencies With Ada 95_

44.s/2
          {<AI95-00268-01AI95-00268-01>} Amendment Correction: Rounding
          of static real expressions is implementation-defined in Ada
          2005, while it was specified as away from zero in (original)
          Ada 95.  This could make subtle differences in programs.
          However, the original Ada 95 rule required rounding that
          (probably) differed from the target processor, thus creating
          anomalies where the value of a static expression was required
          to be different than the same expression evaluated at
          run-time.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

44.t/2
          {<AI95-00263-01AI95-00263-01>} {<AI95-00268-01AI95-00268-01>}
          The Ada 95 wording that defined static subtypes
          unintentionally failed to exclude formal derived types that
          happen to be scalar (these aren't formal scalar types); and
          had a parenthetical remark excluding formal string types - but
          that was neither necessary nor parenthetical (it didn't follow
          from other wording).  This issue also applies to the rounding
          rules for real static expressions.

44.u/2
          {<AI95-00269-01AI95-00269-01>} Ada 95 didn't clearly define
          the bounds of a value of a static expression for universal
          types and for "any integer/float/fixed type".  We also make it
          clear that we do not intend exact evaluation of static
          expressions in an instance body if the expressions aren't
          static in the generic body.

44.v/2
          {<AI95-00311-01AI95-00311-01>} We clarify that the first
          subtype of a scalar formal type has a nonstatic, nonnull
          constraint.

4.9.1 Statically Matching Constraints and Subtypes
--------------------------------------------------

                          _Static Semantics_

1/2
{<AI95-00311-01AI95-00311-01>} A constraint <statically matches> another
constraint if:

1.1/2
   * both are null constraints;

1.2/2
   * both are static and have equal corresponding bounds or discriminant
     values;

1.3/2
   * both are nonstatic and result from the same elaboration of a
     constraint of a subtype_indication (*note 3.2.2: S0027.) or the
     same evaluation of a range of a discrete_subtype_definition (*note
     3.6: S0055.); or

1.4/2
   * {<AI95-00311-01AI95-00311-01>} both are nonstatic and come from the
     same formal_type_declaration.

2/3
{<AI95-00231-01AI95-00231-01>} {<AI95-00254-01AI95-00254-01>}
{<AI05-0153-3AI05-0153-3>} A subtype <statically matches> another
subtype of the same type if they have statically matching constraints,
all predicate specifications that apply to them come from the same
declarations, and, for access subtypes, either both or neither exclude
null.  Two anonymous access-to-object subtypes statically match if their
designated subtypes statically match, and either both or neither exclude
null, and either both or neither are access-to-constant.  Two anonymous
access-to-subprogram subtypes statically match if their designated
profiles are subtype conformant, and either both or neither exclude
null.

2.a
          Ramification: Statically matching constraints and subtypes are
          the basis for subtype conformance of profiles (see *note
          6.3.1::).

2.b/2
          Reason: Even though anonymous access types always represent
          different types, they can statically match.  That's important
          so that they can be used widely.  For instance, if this wasn't
          true, access parameters and access discriminants could never
          conform, so they couldn't be used in separate specifications.

3
Two ranges of the same type <statically match> if both result from the
same evaluation of a range, or if both are static and have equal
corresponding bounds.

3.a
          Ramification: The notion of static matching of ranges is used
          in *note 12.5.3::, "*note 12.5.3:: Formal Array Types"; the
          index ranges of formal and actual constrained array subtypes
          have to statically match.

4/3
{<AI05-0086-1AI05-0086-1>} {<AI05-0153-3AI05-0153-3>} A constraint is
<statically compatible> with a scalar subtype if it statically matches
the constraint of the subtype, or if both are static and the constraint
is compatible with the subtype.  A constraint is <statically compatible>
with an access or composite subtype if it statically matches the
constraint of the subtype, or if the subtype is unconstrained.

4.a
          Discussion: Static compatibility is required when constraining
          a parent subtype with a discriminant from a new
          discriminant_part.  See *note 3.7::.  Static compatibility is
          also used in matching generic formal derived types.

4.b
          Note that statically compatible with a subtype does not imply
          compatible with a type.  It is OK since the terms are used in
          different contexts.

5/3
{<AI05-0153-3AI05-0153-3>} Two statically matching subtypes are
statically compatible with each other.  In addition, a subtype <S1> is
statically compatible with a subtype <S2> if:

6/3
   * the constraint of <S1> is statically compatible with <S2>, and

7/3
   * {<AI05-0086-1AI05-0086-1>} if <S2> excludes null, so does <S1>, and

8/3
   * either:

9/3
             * all predicate specifications that apply to <S2> apply
               also to <S1>, or

10/4
             * {<AI05-0290-1AI05-0290-1>} {<AI12-0071-1AI12-0071-1>}
               both subtypes are static, every value that satisfies the
               predicates of <S1> also satisfies the predicates of <S2>,
               and it is not the case that both types each have at least
               one applicable predicate specification, predicate checks
               are enabled (see *note 11.4.2::) for <S2>, and predicate
               checks are not enabled for <S1>.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

10.a
          This subclause is new to Ada 95.

10.b/2
          {<AI95-00231-01AI95-00231-01>} {<AI95-00254-01AI95-00254-01>}
          Added static matching rules for null exclusions and anonymous
          access-to-subprogram types; both of these are new.

10.c/2
          {<AI95-00311-01AI95-00311-01>} We clarify that the constraint
          of the first subtype of a scalar formal type statically
          matches itself.

                   _Incompatibilities With Ada 2005_

10.d/3
          {<AI05-0086-1AI05-0086-1>} Correction: Updated the statically
          compatible rules to take null exclusions into account.  This
          is technically incompatible, as it could cause a legal Ada
          2005 program to be rejected; however, such a program violates
          the intent of the rules (for instance, *note 3.7::(15)) and
          this probably will simply detect bugs.

10.e/3
          {<AI05-0153-3AI05-0153-3>} {<AI05-0290-1AI05-0290-1>} Modified
          static matching and static compatibility to take predicate
          aspects (see *note 3.2.4::) into account.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2012_

10.f/4
          {<AI12-0071-1AI12-0071-1>} Corrigendum: Updated wording of
          static compatibility to use the new term "satisfies the
          predicates" (see *note 3.2.4::).

5.1 Simple and Compound Statements - Sequences of Statements
============================================================

1
[A statement is either simple or compound.  A simple_statement encloses
no other statement.  A compound_statement can enclose simple_statements
and other compound_statements.]

                               _Syntax_

2/3
     {<AI05-0179-1AI05-0179-1>} sequence_of_statements ::= statement {
     statement} {label}

3
     statement ::=
        {label} simple_statement | {label} compound_statement

4/2
     {<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>} simple_statement ::= null_statement
        | assignment_statement   | exit_statement

6
     null_statement ::= null;

7
     label ::= <<<label_>statement_identifier>>

8
     statement_identifier ::= direct_name

9
     The direct_name of a statement_identifier shall be an identifier
     (not an operator_symbol).

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

10
The direct_name of a statement_identifier shall resolve to denote its
corresponding implicit declaration (see below).

                           _Legality Rules_

11
Distinct identifiers shall be used for all statement_identifiers that
appear in the same body, including inner block_statements but excluding
inner program units.

                          _Static Semantics_

12
For each statement_identifier, there is an implicit declaration (with
the specified identifier) at the end of the declarative_part of the
innermost block_statement or body that encloses the
statement_identifier.  The implicit declarations occur in the same order
as the statement_identifiers occur in the source text.  If a usage name
denotes such an implicit declaration, the entity it denotes is the
label, loop_statement, or block_statement with the given
statement_identifier.

12.a
          Reason: We talk in terms of individual statement_identifiers
          here rather than in terms of the corresponding statements,
          since a given statement may have multiple
          statement_identifiers.

12.b
          A block_statement that has no explicit declarative_part has an
          implicit empty declarative_part, so this rule can safely refer
          to the declarative_part of a block_statement.

12.c
          The scope of a declaration starts at the place of the
          declaration itself (see *note 8.2::).  In the case of a label,
          loop, or block name, it follows from this rule that the scope
          of the implicit declaration starts before the first explicit
          occurrence of the corresponding name, since this occurrence is
          either in a statement label, a loop_statement, a
          block_statement, or a goto_statement.  An implicit declaration
          in a block_statement may hide a declaration given in an outer
          program unit or block_statement (according to the usual rules
          of hiding explained in *note 8.3::).

12.d
          The syntax rule for label uses statement_identifier which is a
          direct_name (not a defining_identifier), because labels are
          implicitly declared.  The same applies to loop and block
          names.  In other words, the label itself is not the defining
          occurrence; the implicit declaration is.

12.e
          We cannot consider the label to be a defining occurrence.  An
          example that can tell the difference is this:

12.f
               declare
                   --< Label Foo is implicitly declared here.>
               begin
                   for Foo in ... loop
                       ...
                       <<Foo>> --< Illegal.>
                       ...
                   end loop;
               end;
  

12.g/3
          {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} The label in this example is hidden
          from itself by the loop parameter with the same name; the
          example is illegal.  We considered creating a new syntactic
          category name, separate from direct_name and selector_name,
          for use in the case of statement labels.  However, that would
          confuse the rules in Clause 8, so we didn't do it.

12.1/3
{<AI05-0179-1AI05-0179-1>} If one or more labels end a
sequence_of_statements, an implicit null_statement follows the labels
before any following constructs.

12.g.1/3
          Reason: The semantics of a goto_statement is defined in terms
          of the statement having (following) that label.  Thus we
          ensure that every label has a following statement, which might
          be implicit.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

13
The execution of a null_statement has no effect.

14/2
{<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>} A <transfer of control> is the run-time
action of an exit_statement, return statement, goto_statement, or
requeue_statement, selection of a terminate_alternative, raising of an
exception, or an abort, which causes the next action performed to be one
other than what would normally be expected from the other rules of the
language.  [As explained in *note 7.6.1::, a transfer of control can
cause the execution of constructs to be completed and then left, which
may trigger finalization.]

15
The execution of a sequence_of_statements consists of the execution of
the individual statements in succession until the sequence_ is
completed.

15.a
          Ramification: It could be completed by reaching the end of it,
          or by a transfer of control.

     NOTES

16
     1  A statement_identifier that appears immediately within the
     declarative region of a named loop_statement or an accept_statement
     is nevertheless implicitly declared immediately within the
     declarative region of the innermost enclosing body or
     block_statement; in other words, the expanded name for a named
     statement is not affected by whether the statement occurs inside or
     outside a named loop or an accept_statement -- only nesting within
     block_statements is relevant to the form of its expanded name.

16.a
          Discussion: Each comment in the following example gives the
          expanded name associated with an entity declared in the task
          body:

16.b
               task body Compute is
                  Sum : Integer := 0;                       --< Compute.Sum>
               begin
                Outer:                                      --< Compute.Outer>
                  for I in 1..10 loop     --< Compute.Outer.I>
                   Blk:                                     --< Compute.Blk>
                     declare
                        Sum : Integer := 0;                 --< Compute.Blk.Sum>

                              Sum := Sum + Compute.Blk.Inner.J * Compute.Ent.J;
                           end loop Inner;
                        end Ent;
                        Compute.Sum := Compute.Sum + Compute.Blk.Sum;
                     end Blk;
                  end loop Outer;
                  Record_Result(Sum);

          implicit declarations of statement names.

          Completion includes completion caused by a transfer of
          control, although RM83-5.1(6) did not take this view.

5.2 Assignment Statements
=========================

1
[An assignment_statement replaces the current value of a variable with
the result of evaluating an expression.]

                               _Syntax_

2
     assignment_statement ::=
        <variable_>name := expression;

3
The execution of an assignment_statement includes the evaluation of the
expression and the <assignment> of the value of the expression into the
<target>.  [An assignment operation (as opposed to an
assignment_statement (*note 5.2: S0152.)) is performed in other contexts
as well, including object initialization and by-copy parameter passing.]
The <target> of an assignment operation is the view of the object to
which a value is being assigned; the target of an assignment_statement
(*note 5.2: S0152.) is the variable denoted by the <variable_>name.

3.a
          Discussion: Don't confuse this notion of the "target" of an
          assignment with the notion of the "target object" of an entry
          call or requeue.

3.b
          Don't confuse the term "assignment operation" with the
          assignment_statement.  The assignment operation is just one
          part of the execution of an assignment_statement.  The
          assignment operation is also a part of the execution of
          various other constructs; see *note 7.6.1::, "*note 7.6.1::
          Completion and Finalization" for a complete list.  Note that
          when we say, "such-and-such is assigned to so-and-so", we mean
          that the assignment operation is being applied, and that
          so-and-so is the target of the assignment operation.

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

4/2
{<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>} The <variable_>name of an
assignment_statement is expected to be of any type.  The expected type
for the expression is the type of the target.

4.a
          Implementation Note: An assignment_statement as a whole is a
          "complete context," so if the <variable_>name of an
          assignment_statement is overloaded, the expression can be used
          to help disambiguate it.  For example:

4.b
                 type P1 is access R1;
                 type P2 is access R2;

4.c
                 function F return P1;
                 function F return P2;

4.d
                 X : R1;
               begin
                 F.all := X;  --< Right hand side helps resolve left hand side>

                           _Legality Rules_

5/2
{<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>} The target [denoted by the
<variable_>name] shall be a variable of a nonlimited type.

6
If the target is of a tagged class-wide type <T>'Class, then the
expression shall either be dynamically tagged, or of type <T> and
tag-indeterminate (see *note 3.9.2::).

6.a
          Reason: This is consistent with the general rule that a single
          dispatching operation shall not have both dynamically tagged
          and statically tagged operands.  Note that for an object
          initialization (as opposed to the assignment_statement), a
          statically tagged initialization expression is permitted,
          since there is no chance for confusion (or Tag_Check failure).
          Also, in an object initialization, tag-indeterminate
          expressions of any type covered by <T>'Class would be allowed,
          but with an assignment_statement, that might not work if the
          tag of the target was for a type that didn't have one of the
          dispatching operations in the tag-indeterminate expression.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

7
For the execution of an assignment_statement, the <variable_>name and
the expression are first evaluated in an arbitrary order.

7.a
          Ramification: Other rules of the language may require that the
          bounds of the variable be determined prior to evaluating the
          expression, but that does not necessarily require evaluation
          of the <variable_>name, as pointed out by the ACID.

8
When the type of the target is class-wide:

9
   * If the expression is tag-indeterminate (see *note 3.9.2::), then
     the controlling tag value for the expression is the tag of the
     target;

9.a
          Ramification: See *note 3.9.2::, "*note 3.9.2:: Dispatching
          Operations of Tagged Types".

10
   * Otherwise [(the expression is dynamically tagged)], a check is made
     that the tag of the value of the expression is the same as that of
     the target; if this check fails, Constraint_Error is raised.

11
The value of the expression is converted to the subtype of the target.
[The conversion might raise an exception (see *note 4.6::).]  

11.a
          Ramification: *note 4.6::, "*note 4.6:: Type Conversions"
          defines what actions and checks are associated with subtype
          conversion.  For non-array subtypes, it is just a constraint
          check presuming the types match.  For array subtypes, it
          checks the lengths and slides if the target is constrained.
          "Sliding" means the array doesn't have to have the same
          bounds, so long as it is the same length.

12
In cases involving controlled types, the target is finalized, and an
anonymous object might be used as an intermediate in the assignment, as
described in *note 7.6.1::, "*note 7.6.1:: Completion and Finalization".
In any case, the converted value of the expression is then <assigned> to
the target, which consists of the following two steps:

12.a
          To be honest: *note 7.6.1:: actually says that finalization
          happens always, but unless controlled types are involved, this
          finalization during an assignment_statement does nothing.

13
   * The value of the target becomes the converted value.

14/3
   * {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} If any part of the target is controlled,
     its value is adjusted as explained in subclause *note 7.6::.  

14.a
          Ramification: If any parts of the object are controlled, abort
          is deferred during the assignment operation itself, but not
          during the rest of the execution of an assignment_statement.

     NOTES

15
     2  The tag of an object never changes; in particular, an
     assignment_statement does not change the tag of the target.

16/2
     <This paragraph was deleted.>{<AI95-00363-01AI95-00363-01>}

16.a
          Ramification: The implicit subtype conversion described above
          for assignment_statements is performed only for the value of
          the right-hand side expression as a whole; it is not performed
          for subcomponents of the value.

16.b
          The determination of the type of the variable of an
          assignment_statement may require consideration of the
          expression if the variable name can be interpreted as the name
          of a variable designated by the access value returned by a
          function call, and similarly, as a component or slice of such
          a variable (see *note 8.6::, "*note 8.6:: The Context of
          Overload Resolution").

                              _Examples_

17
<Examples of assignment statements:>

18
     Value := Max_Value - 1;
     Shade := Blue;

23
     I := J;  --<  identical ranges>
     K := J;  --<  compatible ranges>
     J := K;  --<  will raise Constraint_Error if K > 10>

24
<Examples involving array subtype conversions:>

25
     A : String(1 .. 31);
     B : String(3 .. 33);
      ...

26
     A := B;  --<  same number of components>

27
     A(1 .. 9)  := "tar sauce";
     A(4 .. 12) := A(1 .. 9);  --<  A(1 .. 12) = "tartar sauce">

     NOTES

28
     3  <Notes on the examples:> Assignment_statements are allowed even
     in the case of overlapping slices of the same array, because the
     <variable_>name and expression are both evaluated before copying
     the value into the variable.  In the above example, an
     implementation yielding A(1 ..  12) = "tartartartar" would be
     incorrect.

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

28.a
          We now allow user-defined finalization and value adjustment
          actions as part of assignment_statements (see *note 7.6::,
          "*note 7.6:: Assignment and Finalization").

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

28.b
          The special case of array assignment is subsumed by the
          concept of a subtype conversion, which is applied for all
          kinds of types, not just arrays.  For arrays it provides
          "sliding".  For numeric types it provides conversion of a
          value of a universal type to the specific type of the target.
          For other types, it generally has no run-time effect, other
          than a constraint check.

28.c
          We now cover in a general way in *note 3.7.2:: the erroneous
          execution possible due to changing the value of a discriminant
          when the variable in an assignment_statement is a subcomponent
          that depends on discriminants.

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 95_

28.d/2
          {<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>} The change of the limited check
          from a resolution rule to a legality rule is not quite upward
          compatible.  For example

28.e/2
               type AccNonLim is access NonLim;
               function Foo (Arg : in Integer) return AccNonLim;
               type AccLim is access Lim;
               function Foo (Arg : in Integer) return AccLim;
               Foo(2).all := Foo(1).all;

28.f/2
          where NonLim is a nonlimited type and Lim is a limited type.
          The assignment is legal in Ada 95 (only the first Foo would be
          considered), and is ambiguous in Ada 2005.  We made the change
          because we want limited types to be as similar to nonlimited
          types as possible.  Limited expressions are now allowed in all
          other contexts (with a similar incompatibility), and it would
          be odd if assignments had different resolution rules (which
          would eliminate ambiguities in some cases).  Moreover,
          examples like this one are rare, as they depend on assigning
          into overloaded function calls.

5.3 If Statements

[An if_statement selects for execution at most one of the enclosed
sequences_of_statements, depending on the (truth) value of one or more
corresponding conditions.]

     if_statement ::=

5/3
{<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} For the execution of an if_statement, the
condition specified after if, and any conditions specified after elsif,
are evaluated in succession (treating a final else as elsif True then),
until one evaluates to True or all conditions are evaluated and yield
False.  If a condition evaluates to True, then the corresponding
sequence_of_statements is executed; otherwise, none of them is executed.

5.a
          Ramification: The part about all evaluating to False can't
          happen if there is an else, since that is herein considered
          equivalent to elsif True then.

5.4 Case Statements
===================

1
[A case_statement selects for execution one of a number of alternative
sequences_of_statements; the chosen alternative is defined by the value
of an expression.]

                               _Syntax_

2/3
     {<AI05-0188-1AI05-0188-1>} case_statement ::=
        case <selecting_>expression is
            case_statement_alternative
           {case_statement_alternative}
        end case;

3
     case_statement_alternative ::=
        when discrete_choice_list =>
           sequence_of_statements

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

4/3
{<AI05-0188-1AI05-0188-1>} The <selecting_>expression is expected to be
of any discrete type.  The expected type for each discrete_choice is the
type of the <selecting_>expression.

                           _Legality Rules_

5/3
{<AI05-0153-3AI05-0153-3>} The choice_expressions, subtype_indications,
and ranges given as discrete_choices of a case_statement shall be
static.  [A discrete_choice others, if present, shall appear alone and
in the last discrete_choice_list.]

6/3
{<AI05-0188-1AI05-0188-1>} {<AI05-0240-1AI05-0240-1>} The possible
values of the <selecting_>expression shall be covered (see *note
3.8.1::) as follows:

6.a/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0240-1AI05-0240-1>} The meaning of
          "covered" here and in the following rules is that of the term
          "cover a value" that is defined in *note 3.8.1::.

7/4
   * {<AI05-0003-1AI05-0003-1>} {<AI05-0153-3AI05-0153-3>}
     {<AI05-0188-1AI05-0188-1>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>}
     {<AI12-0071-1AI12-0071-1>} If the <selecting_>expression is a name
     [(including a type_conversion, qualified_expression, or
     function_call)] having a static and constrained nominal subtype,
     then each non-others discrete_choice shall cover only values in
     that subtype that satisfy its predicates (see *note 3.2.4::), and
     each value of that subtype that satisfies its predicates shall be
     covered by some discrete_choice [(either explicitly or by others)].

7.a
          Ramification: Although not official names of objects, a value
          conversion still has a defined nominal subtype, namely its
          target subtype.  See *note 4.6::.

8/3
   * {<AI05-0188-1AI05-0188-1>} If the type of the
     <selecting_>expression is <root_integer>, <universal_integer>, or a
     descendant of a formal scalar type, then the case_statement shall
     have an others discrete_choice.

8.a
          Reason: This is because the base range is implementation
          defined for <root_integer> and <universal_integer>, and not
          known statically in the case of a formal scalar type.

9/3
   * {<AI05-0188-1AI05-0188-1>} Otherwise, each value of the base range
     of the type of the <selecting_>expression shall be covered [(either
     explicitly or by others)].

10
Two distinct discrete_choices of a case_statement shall not cover the
same value.

10.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0188-1AI05-0188-1>} The goal of these
          coverage rules is that any possible value of the
          <selecting_>expression of a case_statement should be covered
          by exactly one discrete_choice of the case_statement, and that
          this should be checked at compile time.  The goal is achieved
          in most cases, but there are two minor loopholes:

10.b
             * If the expression reads an object with an invalid
               representation (e.g.  an uninitialized object), then the
               value can be outside the covered range.  This can happen
               for static constrained subtypes, as well as nonstatic or
               unconstrained subtypes.  It cannot, however, happen if
               the case_statement has the discrete_choice others,
               because others covers all values, even those outside the
               subtype.

10.c/3
             * {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} {<AI05-0188-1AI05-0188-1>}
               If the compiler chooses to represent the value of an
               expression of an unconstrained subtype in a way that
               includes values outside the bounds of the subtype, then
               those values can be outside the covered range.  For
               example, if X: Integer := Integer'Last;, and the case
               <selecting_>expression is X+1, then the implementation
               might choose to produce the correct value, which is
               outside the bounds of Integer.  (It might raise
               Constraint_Error instead.)  This case can only happen for
               nongeneric subtypes that are either unconstrained or
               nonstatic (or both).  It can only happen if there is no
               others discrete_choice.

10.d
          In the uninitialized variable case, the value might be
          anything; hence, any alternative can be chosen, or
          Constraint_Error can be raised.  (We intend to prevent,
          however, jumping to random memory locations and the like.)  In
          the out-of-range case, the behavior is more sensible: if there
          is an others, then the implementation may choose to raise
          Constraint_Error on the evaluation of the expression (as
          usual), or it may choose to correctly evaluate the expression
          and therefore choose the others alternative.  Otherwise (no
          others), Constraint_Error is raised either way -- on the
          expression evaluation, or for the case_statement itself.

10.e
          For an enumeration type with a discontiguous set of internal
          codes (see *note 13.4::), the only way to get values in
          between the proper values is via an object with an invalid
          representation; there is no "out-of-range" situation that can
          produce them.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

11/3
{<AI05-0188-1AI05-0188-1>} For the execution of a case_statement the
<selecting_>expression is first evaluated.

12/3
{<AI05-0188-1AI05-0188-1>} If the value of the <selecting_>expression is
covered by the discrete_choice_list (*note 3.8.1: S0073.) of some
case_statement_alternative (*note 5.4: S0155.), then the
sequence_of_statements (*note 5.1: S0145.) of the _alternative is
executed.

13
Otherwise (the value is not covered by any discrete_choice_list, perhaps
due to being outside the base range), Constraint_Error is raised.

13.a
          Ramification: In this case, the value is outside the base
          range of its type, or is an invalid representation.

     NOTES

14
     4  The execution of a case_statement chooses one and only one
     alternative.  Qualification of the expression of a case_statement
     by a static subtype can often be used to limit the number of
     choices that need be given explicitly.

                              _Examples_

           Empty_Bin(1);
           Empty_Bin(2);
        when others   => raise Error;
     end case;

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 83_

18.a.1/1
          In Ada 95, function_calls and type_conversions are names,
          whereas in Ada 83, they were expressions.  Therefore, if the
          expression of a case_statement is a function_call or
          type_conversion, and the result subtype is static, it is
          illegal to specify a choice outside the bounds of the subtype.
          For this case in Ada 83 choices only are required to be in the
          base range of the type.

18.a.2/1
          In addition, the rule about which choices must be covered is
          unchanged in Ada 95.  Therefore, for a case_statement whose
          expression is a function_call or type_conversion, Ada 83
          required covering all choices in the base range, while Ada 95
          only requires covering choices in the bounds of the subtype.
          If the case_statement does not include an others
          discrete_choice, then a legal Ada 83 case_statement will be
          illegal in Ada 95 if the bounds of the subtype are different
          than the bounds of the base type.

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

18.a
          In Ada 83, the expression in a case_statement is not allowed
          to be of a generic formal type.  This restriction is removed
          in Ada 95; an others discrete_choice is required instead.

18.b
          In Ada 95, a function call is the name of an object; this was
          not true in Ada 83 (see *note 4.1::, "*note 4.1:: Names").
          This change makes the following case_statement legal:

18.c
               subtype S is Integer range 1..2;
               function F return S;
               case F is
                  when 1 => ...;
                  when 2 => ...;
                  --< No others needed.>
               end case;

18.d/3
          {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} Note that the result subtype given
          in a function renaming_declaration is ignored; for a
          case_statement whose expression calls a such a function, the
          full coverage rules are checked using the result subtype of
          the original function.  Note that predefined operators such as
          "+" have an unconstrained result subtype (see *note 4.5.1::).
          Note that generic formal functions do not have static result
          subtypes.  Note that the result subtype of an inherited
          subprogram need not correspond to any nameable subtype; there
          is still a perfectly good result subtype, though.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

18.e
          Ada 83 forgot to say what happens for "legally" out-of-bounds
          values.

18.f
          We take advantage of rules and terms (e.g.  <cover a value>)
          defined for discrete_choices and discrete_choice_lists in
          *note 3.8.1::, "*note 3.8.1:: Variant Parts and Discrete
          Choices".

18.g
          In the Name Resolution Rule for the case expression, we no
          longer need RM83-5.4(3)'s "which must be determinable
          independently of the context in which the expression occurs,
          but using the fact that the expression must be of a discrete
          type," because the expression is now a complete context.  See
          *note 8.6::, "*note 8.6:: The Context of Overload Resolution".

18.h
          Since type_conversions are now defined as names, their
          coverage rule is now covered under the general rule for names,
          rather than being separated out along with
          qualified_expressions.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

18.i/3
          {<AI05-0003-1AI05-0003-1>} Rewording to reflect that a
          qualified_expression is now a name.

18.j/3
          {<AI05-0153-3AI05-0153-3>} Revised for changes to
          discrete_choices made to allow static predicates (see *note
          3.2.4::) as case choices (see *note 3.8.1::).

18.k/3
          {<AI05-0188-1AI05-0188-1>} Added the <selecting_> prefix to
          make this wording consistent with case_expression, and to
          clarify which expression is being talked about in the wording.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2012_

18.l/4
          {<AI12-0071-1AI12-0071-1>} Corrigendum: Updated wording of
          case coverage to use the new term "satisfies the predicates"
          (see *note 3.2.4::).

5.5 Loop Statements
===================

1
[A loop_statement includes a sequence_of_statements that is to be
executed repeatedly, zero or more times.]

                               _Syntax_

2
     loop_statement ::=
        [<loop_>statement_identifier:]
           [iteration_scheme] loop
              sequence_of_statements
            end loop [<loop_>identifier];

3/3
     {<AI05-0139-2AI05-0139-2>} iteration_scheme ::= while condition
        | for loop_parameter_specification
        | for iterator_specification

4
     loop_parameter_specification ::=
        defining_identifier in [reverse] discrete_subtype_definition

5
     If a loop_statement has a <loop_>statement_identifier, then the
     identifier shall be repeated after the end loop; otherwise, there
     shall not be an identifier after the end loop.

                          _Static Semantics_

6
A loop_parameter_specification declares a <loop parameter>, which is an
object whose subtype is that defined by the discrete_subtype_definition.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

7
For the execution of a loop_statement, the sequence_of_statements is
executed repeatedly, zero or more times, until the loop_statement is
complete.  The loop_statement is complete when a transfer of control
occurs that transfers control out of the loop, or, in the case of an
iteration_scheme, as specified below.

8
For the execution of a loop_statement with a while iteration_scheme, the
condition is evaluated before each execution of the
sequence_of_statements (*note 5.1: S0145.); if the value of the
condition is True, the sequence_of_statements (*note 5.1: S0145.) is
executed; if False, the execution of the loop_statement (*note 5.5:
S0156.) is complete.

9/4
{<AI05-0139-2AI05-0139-2>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>}
{<AI12-0071-1AI12-0071-1>} For the execution of a loop_statement with
the iteration_scheme being for loop_parameter_specification (*note 5.5:
S0158.), the loop_parameter_specification (*note 5.5: S0158.) is first
elaborated.  This elaboration creates the loop parameter and elaborates
the discrete_subtype_definition (*note 3.6: S0055.).  If the
discrete_subtype_definition (*note 3.6: S0055.) defines a subtype with a
null range, the execution of the loop_statement is complete.  Otherwise,
the sequence_of_statements (*note 5.1: S0145.) is executed once for each
value of the discrete subtype defined by the discrete_subtype_definition
(*note 3.6: S0055.) that satisfies the predicates of the subtype (or
until the loop is left as a consequence of a transfer of control).
Prior to each such iteration, the corresponding value of the discrete
subtype is assigned to the loop parameter.  These values are assigned in
increasing order unless the reserved word reverse is present, in which
case the values are assigned in decreasing order.

9.a
          Ramification: The order of creating the loop parameter and
          evaluating the discrete_subtype_definition doesn't matter,
          since the creation of the loop parameter has no side effects
          (other than possibly raising Storage_Error, but anything can
          do that).

9.b/3
          {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} The predicate (if any) necessarily
          has to be a static predicate as a dynamic predicate is
          explicitly disallowed -- see *note 3.2.4::.

9.c/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} If there is a predicate,
          the loop still visits the values in the order of the
          underlying base type; the order of the values in the predicate
          is irrelevant.  This is the case so that the following loops
          have the same sequence of calls and parameters on procedure
          Call for any subtype S:

9.d
               for I in S loop
                  Call (I);
               end loop;

9.e
               for I in S'Base loop
                  if I in S then
                     Call (I);
                  end if;
               end loop;

9.1/3
{<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} [For details about the execution of a
loop_statement with the iteration_scheme being for
iterator_specification, see *note 5.5.2::.]

     NOTES

10
     5  A loop parameter is a constant; it cannot be updated within the
     sequence_of_statements of the loop (see *note 3.3::).

11
     6  An object_declaration should not be given for a loop parameter,
     since the loop parameter is automatically declared by the
     loop_parameter_specification.  The scope of a loop parameter
     extends from the loop_parameter_specification to the end of the
     loop_statement, and the visibility rules are such that a loop
     parameter is only visible within the sequence_of_statements of the
     loop.

11.a
          Implementation Note: An implementation could give a warning if
          a variable is hidden by a loop_parameter_specification.

12
     7  The discrete_subtype_definition of a for loop is elaborated just
     once.  Use of the reserved word reverse does not alter the discrete
     subtype defined, so that the following iteration_schemes are not
     equivalent; the first has a null range.

13
          for J in reverse 1 .. 0
          for J in 0 .. 1

13.a
          Ramification: If a loop_parameter_specification has a static
          discrete range, the subtype of the loop parameter is static.

                              _Examples_

14
<Example of a loop statement without an iteration scheme:>

15
     loop
        Get(Current_Character);
        exit when Current_Character = '*';
     end loop;

16
<Example of a loop statement with a while iteration scheme:>

17
     while Bid(N).Price < Cut_Off.Price loop
        Record_Bid(Bid(N).Price);
        N := N + 1;

5.5.1 User-Defined Iterator Types
---------------------------------

                          _Static Semantics_

1/3
{<AI05-0139-2AI05-0139-2>} The following language-defined generic
library package exists:

2/3

     generic
        type Cursor;
        with function Has_Element (Position : Cursor) return Boolean;
     package Ada.Iterator_Interfaces is
        pragma Pure (Iterator_Interfaces);

3/3
        type Forward_Iterator is limited interface;
        function First (Object : Forward_Iterator) return Cursor is abstract;
        function Next (Object : Forward_Iterator; Position : Cursor)

        function Last (Object : Reversible_Iterator) return Cursor is abstract;
        function Previous (Object : Reversible_Iterator; Position : Cursor)
           return Cursor is abstract;

5/3
     end Ada.Iterator_Interfaces;

6/3
{<AI05-0139-2AI05-0139-2>} An <iterator type> is a type descended from
the Forward_Iterator interface from some instance of
Ada.Iterator_Interfaces.  A <reversible iterator type> is a type
descended from the Reversible_Iterator interface from some instance of
Ada.Iterator_Interfaces.  An <iterator object> is an object of an
iterator type.  A <reversible iterator object> is an object of a
reversible iterator type.  The formal subtype Cursor from the associated
instance of Ada.Iterator_Interfaces is the <iteration cursor subtype>
for the iterator type.

7/3
{<AI05-0139-2AI05-0139-2>} {<AI05-0292-1AI05-0292-1>} The following
type-related operational aspects may be specified for an indexable
container type <T> (see *note 4.1.6::):

8/3
Default_Iterator
               This aspect is specified by a name that denotes exactly
               one function declared immediately within the same
               declaration list in which <T> is declared, whose first
               parameter is of type <T> or <T>'Class or an access
               parameter whose designated type is type <T> or <T>'Class,
               whose other parameters, if any, have default expressions,
               and whose result type is an iterator type.  This function
               is the <default iterator function> for <T>.  Its result
               subtype is the <default iterator subtype> for <T>.  The
               iteration cursor subtype for the default iterator subtype
               is the <default cursor subtype> for <T>.

8.a/3
          Aspect Description for Default_Iterator: Default iterator to
          be used in for loops.

9/3
Iterator_Element
               This aspect is specified by a name that denotes a
               subtype.  This is the <default element subtype> for <T>.

9.a/3
          Aspect Description for Iterator_Element: Element type to be
          used for user-defined iterators.

10/3
These aspects are inherited by descendants of type <T> (including
<T>'Class).

11/3
{<AI05-0139-2AI05-0139-2>} {<AI05-0292-1AI05-0292-1>} An <iterable
container type> is an indexable container type with specified
Default_Iterator and Iterator_Element aspects.  A <reversible iterable
container type> is an iterable container type with the default iterator
type being a reversible iterator type.  An <iterable container object>
is an object of an iterable container type.  A <reversible iterable
container object> is an object of a reversible iterable container type.

11.a.1/3
          Glossary entry: An iterable container type is one that has
          user-defined behavior for iteration, via the Default_Iterator
          and Iterator_Element aspects.

11.1/4
{<AI12-0138-1AI12-0138-1>} The Default_Iterator and Iterator_Element
aspects are nonoverridable (see *note 13.1.1::).

11.a/4
          Reason: This ensures that all descendants of an iterable
          container type have aspects with the same properties.  This
          prevents generic contract problems with formal derived types.

                           _Legality Rules_

12/3
{<AI05-0139-2AI05-0139-2>} {<AI05-0292-1AI05-0292-1>} The
Constant_Indexing aspect (if any) of an iterable container type <T>
shall denote exactly one function with the following properties:

13/3
   * the result type of the function is covered by the default element
     type of <T> or is a reference type (see *note 4.1.5::) with an
     access discriminant designating a type covered by the default
     element type of <T>;

14/3
   * the type of the second parameter of the function covers the default
     cursor type for <T>;

15/3
   * if there are more than two parameters, the additional parameters
     all have default expressions.

16/3
This function (if any) is the <default constant indexing function> for
<T>.

16.a/3
          Ramification: This does not mean that Constant_Indexing has to
          designate only one subprogram, only that there is only one
          routine that meets all of these properties.  There can be
          other routines designated by Constant_Indexing, but they
          cannot have the profile described above.  For instance, map
          containers have a version of Constant_Indexing that takes a
          key instead of a cursor; this is allowed.

17/3
{<AI05-0139-2AI05-0139-2>} {<AI05-0292-1AI05-0292-1>} The
Variable_Indexing aspect (if any) of an iterable container type <T>
shall denote exactly one function with the following properties:

18/3
   * the result type of the function is a reference type (see *note
     4.1.5::) with an access discriminant designating a type covered by
     the default element type of <T>;

19/3
   * the type of the second parameter of the function covers the default
     cursor type for <T>;

21.a/3
          {<AI05-0139-2AI05-0139-2>} User-defined iterator types are new

          Default_Iterator and Iterator_Element to be nonoveridable,
          which makes redefinitions and hiding of these aspects illegal.
          It's possible that some program could violate one of these new
          restrictions, but in most cases this can easily be worked
          around by using overriding rather than redefinition.

5.5.2 Generalized Loop Iteration
--------------------------------

1/3
{<AI05-0139-2AI05-0139-2>} Generalized forms of loop iteration are
provided by an iterator_specification.

                               _Syntax_

2/3
     {<AI05-0139-2AI05-0139-2>} {<AI05-0292-1AI05-0292-1>}
     iterator_specification ::=
         defining_identifier in [reverse] <iterator_>name
       | defining_identifier [: 
     subtype_indication] of [reverse] <iterable_>name

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

3/3
{<AI05-0139-2AI05-0139-2>} {<AI05-0292-1AI05-0292-1>} For the first form
of iterator_specification, called a <generalized iterator>, the expected
type for the <iterator_>name is any iterator type.  For the second form
of iterator_specification, the expected type for the <iterable_>name is
any array or iterable container type.  If the <iterable_>name denotes an
array object, the iterator_specification is called an <array component
iterator>; otherwise it is called a <container element iterator>.

3.a.1/3
          Glossary entry: An iterator is a construct that is used to
          loop over the elements of an array or container.  Iterators
          may be user defined, and may perform arbitrary computations to
          access elements from a container.

                           _Legality Rules_

4/3
{<AI05-0139-2AI05-0139-2>} If the reserved word reverse appears, the
iterator_specification is a <reverse iterator>; otherwise it is a
<forward iterator>.  In a reverse generalized iterator, the
<iterator_>name shall be of a reversible iterator type.  In a reverse
container element iterator, the default iterator type for the type of
the <iterable_>name shall be a reversible iterator type.

5/4
{<AI05-0139-2AI05-0139-2>} {<AI12-0151-1AI12-0151-1>} The subtype
defined by the subtype_indication, if any, of an array component
iterator shall statically match the component subtype of the type of the
<iterable_>name.  The subtype defined by the subtype_indication, if any,
of a container element iterator shall statically match the default
element subtype for the type of the <iterable_>name.

6/3
{<AI05-0139-2AI05-0139-2>} In a container element iterator whose
<iterable_>name has type <T>, if the <iterable_>name denotes a constant
or the Variable_Indexing aspect is not specified for <T>, then the
Constant_Indexing aspect shall be specified for <T>.

6.1/4
{<AI12-0047-1AI12-0047-1>} The <iterator_>name or <iterable_>name of an
iterator_specification shall not denote a subcomponent that depends on
discriminants of an object whose nominal subtype is unconstrained,
unless the object is known to be constrained.

6.a/4
          Reason: This is the same rule that applies to renames; it
          serves the same purpose of preventing the object from
          disappearing while the iterator is still using it.

6.2/4
{<AI12-0120-1AI12-0120-1>} A container element iterator is illegal if
the call of the default iterator function that creates the loop iterator
(see below) is illegal.

6.b/4
          Ramification: This can happen if the parameter to the default
          iterator function is in out and the <iterable_>name is a
          constant.  The wording applies to any reason that the call
          would be illegal, as it's possible that one of the default
          parameters would be illegal, or that some accessibility check
          would fail.

6.3/4
{<AI12-0120-1AI12-0120-1>} A generalized iterator is illegal if the
iteration cursor subtype of the <iterator_>name is a limited type at the
point of the generalized iterator.  A container element iterator is
illegal if the default cursor subtype of the type of the <iterable_>name
is a limited type at the point of the container element iterator.

6.c/4
          Reason: If the cursor type is limited, the assignment to the
          loop parameter for a generalized iterator would be illegal.
          The same is true for a container element iterator.  We have to
          say "at the point of the iterator" as the limitedness of a
          type can change due to visibility.

{<AI05-0292-1AI05-0292-1>} An iterator_specification declares a <loop
parameter>.  In a generalized iterator, the nominal subtype of the loop
parameter is the iteration cursor subtype.  In an array component
iterator or a container element iterator, if a subtype_indication is
present, it determines the nominal subtype of the loop parameter.  In an
array component iterator, if a subtype_indication is not present, the
nominal subtype of the loop parameter is the component subtype of the
type of the <iterable_>name.  In a container element iterator, if a
subtype_indication is not present, the nominal subtype of the loop
parameter is the default element subtype for the type of the
<iterable_>name.

8/3
{<AI05-0139-2AI05-0139-2>} {<AI05-0292-1AI05-0292-1>} In a generalized

iterator, the loop parameter is a constant if the <iterable_>name
denotes a constant; otherwise it denotes a variable.  In a container
element iterator, the loop parameter is a constant if the
<iterable_>name denotes a constant, or if the Variable_Indexing aspect
is not specified for the type of the <iterable_>name; otherwise it is a
variable.

8.a/4
          Ramification: {<AI12-0093-1AI12-0093-1>} The loop parameter of
          a generalized iterator has the same accessibility as the loop
          statement.  This means that the loop parameter object is
          finalized when the loop statement is left.  (It also may be
          finalized as part of assigning a new value to the loop
          parameter.)  For array component iterators and container
          element iterators, the loop parameter directly denotes an
          element of the array or container and has the accessibility of
          the associated array or container.

{<AI05-0139-2AI05-0139-2>} For the execution of a loop_statement with an
iterator_specification, the iterator_specification is first elaborated.
This elaboration elaborates the subtype_indication, if any.

10/3
{<AI05-0139-2AI05-0139-2>} For a generalized iterator, the loop
parameter is created, the <iterator_>name is evaluated, and the denoted
iterator object becomes the <loop iterator>.  In a forward generalized
iterator, the operation First of the iterator type is called on the loop
iterator, to produce the initial value for the loop parameter.  If the
result of calling Has_Element on the initial value is False, then the
execution of the loop_statement is complete.  Otherwise, the
sequence_of_statements is executed and then the Next operation of the
iterator type is called with the loop iterator and the current value of
the loop parameter to produce the next value to be assigned to the loop
parameter.  This repeats until the result of calling Has_Element on the
loop parameter is False, or the loop is left as a consequence of a
transfer of control.  For a reverse generalized iterator, the operations
Last and Previous are called rather than First and Next.

10.a/4
          Ramification: {<AI12-0093-1AI12-0093-1>} The loop parameter of
          a generalized iterator is a variable of which the user only
          has a constant view.  It follows the normal rules for a
          variable of its nominal subtype.  In particular, if the
          nominal subtype is indefinite, the variable is constrained by
          its initial value.  Similarly, if the nominal subtype is
          class-wide, the variable (like all variables) has the tag of
          the initial value.  Constraint_Error may be raised by a
          subsequent iteration if Next or Previous return an object with
          a different tag or constraint.

11/3
{<AI05-0139-2AI05-0139-2>} {<AI05-0292-1AI05-0292-1>} For an array
component iterator, the <iterable_>name is evaluated and the denoted
array object becomes the <array for the loop>.  If the array for the
loop is a null array, then the execution of the loop_statement is
complete.  Otherwise, the sequence_of_statements is executed with the
loop parameter denoting each component of the array for the loop, using
a <canonical> order of components, which is last dimension varying
fastest (unless the array has convention Fortran, in which case it is
first dimension varying fastest).  For a forward array component
iterator, the iteration starts with the component whose index values are
each the first in their index range, and continues in the canonical
order.  For a reverse array component iterator, the iteration starts
with the component whose index values are each the last in their index
range, and continues in the reverse of the canonical order.  The loop
iteration proceeds until the sequence_of_statements has been executed
for each component of the array for the loop, or until the loop is left
as a consequence of a transfer of control.

12/3
{<AI05-0139-2AI05-0139-2>} {<AI05-0292-1AI05-0292-1>} For a container

iterable container object becomes the <iterable container object for the
loop>.  The default iterator function for the type of the iterable
container object for the loop is called on the iterable container object
and the result is the <loop iterator>.  An object of the default cursor
subtype is created (the <loop cursor>).

13/3
{<AI05-0139-2AI05-0139-2>} {<AI05-0292-1AI05-0292-1>} For a forward
container element iterator, the operation First of the iterator type is
called on the loop iterator, to produce the initial value for the loop
cursor.  If the result of calling Has_Element on the initial value is
False, then the execution of the loop_statement is complete.  Otherwise,
the sequence_of_statements is executed with the loop parameter denoting
an indexing (see *note 4.1.6::) into the iterable container object for
the loop, with the only parameter to the indexing being the current
value of the loop cursor; then the Next operation of the iterator type
is called with the loop iterator and the loop cursor to produce the next
value to be assigned to the loop cursor.  This repeats until the result
of calling Has_Element on the loop cursor is False, or until the loop is
left as a consequence of a transfer of control.  For a reverse container
element iterator, the operations Last and Previous are called rather
than First and Next.  If the loop parameter is a constant (see above),
then the indexing uses the default constant indexing function for the
type of the iterable container object for the loop; otherwise it uses
the default variable indexing function.

14/4
{<AI12-0120-1AI12-0120-1>} Any exception propagated by the execution of

16.b/4
          {<AI12-0047-1AI12-0047-1>} Corrigendum: Added a rule to ensure
          that the object being iterated cannot be a component that
          could disappear before the loop completes.  This could be
          incompatible by making a loop that was legal (and worked
          correctly, so long as the enclosing object is not modified
          during the loop) from the original Ada 2012 illegal in
          corrected Ada 2012.  Such loops should be pretty rare,
          especially as these iterator forms are new to Ada 2012.

16.c/4
          {<AI12-0120-1AI12-0120-1>} Corrigendum: Added rules to reject
          loops if the call to the default iterator function for a
          container element iterator is illegal, or if the cursor type
          of an iterator is limited.  These are formally incompatible
          with original Ada 2012, but as it's unlikely that any Ada 2012
          compiler ever allowed the illegal usages in an expansion of a
          loop (it's much more likely that they would have just caused
          an internal error in the compiler), this should have no effect
          in practice.

16.d/4
          {<AI12-0151-1AI12-0151-1>} Corrigendum: Added a requirement
          that the given subtype statically match the subtype of the
          element or component for a component element iterator or array
          component iterator.  Original Ada 2012 text allowed any type
          that covered the subtype of the element or component, but that
          led to questions of what the meaning was if they are
          different.  In this case, the element is essentially a
          renaming of the container element, and it doesn't make sense
          for the constraints to be different.  Ignoring explicitly
          defined constraints in renames is a mistake that we don't want
          to continue, thus we require static matching.  This means that
          some programs might be illegal, but those programs were
          misleading at best, and potentially would raise unexpected
          exceptions because the element values might have been invalid
          or abnormal with respect to the declared constraint.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2012_

16.e/4
          {<AI12-0120-1AI12-0120-1>} Corrigendum: Added wording to
          specify that a loop propagates any exceptions propagated by
          the execution of an iterator.  Since that's what naturally
          would happen from a macro-style expansion of the parts of an
          iterator, and no other interpretation makes sense given the
          way the rest of Ada works, we consider it so unlikely that any
          Ada 2012 implementation ever did anything else that we don't
          document this as a possible inconsistency.

5.6 Block Statements
====================

1
[A block_statement encloses a handled_sequence_of_statements optionally
preceded by a declarative_part.]

                               _Syntax_

2
     block_statement ::=
        [<block_>statement_identifier:]
            [declare
                 declarative_part]
             begin
                 handled_sequence_of_statements
             end [<block_>identifier];

3
     If a block_statement has a <block_>statement_identifier, then the
     identifier shall be repeated after the end; otherwise, there shall
     not be an identifier after the end.

                          _Static Semantics_

4
A block_statement that has no explicit declarative_part has an implicit
empty declarative_part.

4.a
          Ramification: Thus, other rules can always refer to the
          declarative_part of a block_statement.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

5
The execution of a block_statement consists of the elaboration of its
declarative_part followed by the execution of its
handled_sequence_of_statements.

                              _Examples_

6
<Example of a block statement with a local variable:>

7
     Swap:
        declare
           Temp : Integer;
        begin
           Temp := V; V := U; U := Temp;
        end Swap;

7.a
          Ramification: If task objects are declared within a
          block_statement whose execution is completed, the
          block_statement is not left until all its dependent tasks are
          terminated (see *note 7.6::).  This rule applies to completion
          caused by a transfer of control.

7.b
          Within a block_statement, the block name can be used in
          expanded names denoting local entities such as Swap.Temp in
          the above example (see *note 4.1.3::).

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

7.c
          The syntax rule for block_statement now uses the syntactic
          category handled_sequence_of_statements.

5.7 Exit Statements
===================

1
[An exit_statement is used to complete the execution of an enclosing
loop_statement; the completion is conditional if the exit_statement
includes a condition.]

                               _Syntax_

2
     exit_statement ::=
        exit [<loop_>name] [when condition];

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

3
The <loop_>name, if any, in an exit_statement shall resolve to denote a
loop_statement.

                           _Legality Rules_

4
Each exit_statement (*note 5.7: S0161.) <applies to> a loop_statement
(*note 5.5: S0156.); this is the loop_statement (*note 5.5: S0156.)
being exited.  An exit_statement (*note 5.7: S0161.) with a name is only
allowed within the loop_statement (*note 5.5: S0156.) denoted by the
name, and applies to that loop_statement (*note 5.5: S0156.).  An
exit_statement (*note 5.7: S0161.) without a name is only allowed within
a loop_statement (*note 5.5: S0156.), and applies to the innermost
enclosing one.  An exit_statement (*note 5.7: S0161.) that applies to a
given loop_statement (*note 5.5: S0156.) shall not appear within a body
or accept_statement (*note 9.5.2: S0219.), if this construct is itself
enclosed by the given loop_statement.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

5
For the execution of an exit_statement, the condition, if present, is
first evaluated.  If the value of the condition is True, or if there is
no condition, a transfer of control is done to complete the
loop_statement (*note 5.5: S0156.).  If the value of the condition is
False, no transfer of control takes place.

     NOTES

6
     8  Several nested loops can be exited by an exit_statement that
     names the outer loop.

                              _Examples_

7
<Examples of loops with exit statements:>

8
     for N in 1 .. Max_Num_Items loop
        Get_New_Item(New_Item);
        Merge_Item(New_Item, Storage_File);
        exit when New_Item = Terminal_Item;
     end loop;

9
     Main_Cycle:
        loop
           --<  initial statements>
           exit Main_Cycle when Found;
           --<  final statements>
        end loop Main_Cycle;

5.8 Goto Statements
===================

1
[A goto_statement specifies an explicit transfer of control from this
statement to a target statement with a given label.]

                               _Syntax_

2
     goto_statement ::= goto <label_>name;

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

3
The <label_>name shall resolve to denote a label; the statement with
that label is the <target statement>.

                           _Legality Rules_

4
The innermost sequence_of_statements that encloses the target statement
shall also enclose the goto_statement.  Furthermore, if a goto_statement
is enclosed by an accept_statement or a body, then the target statement
shall not be outside this enclosing construct.

4.a
          Ramification: The goto_statement can be a statement of an
          inner sequence_.

4.b
          It follows from the second rule that if the target statement
          is enclosed by such a construct, then the goto_statement
          cannot be outside.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

5
The execution of a goto_statement transfers control to the target
statement, completing the execution of any compound_statement that
encloses the goto_statement but does not enclose the target.

     NOTES

6
     9  The above rules allow transfer of control to a statement of an
     enclosing sequence_of_statements but not the reverse.  Similarly,
     they prohibit transfers of control such as between alternatives of
     a case_statement, if_statement, or select_statement; between
     exception_handlers; or from an exception_handler of a
     handled_sequence_of_statements back to its sequence_of_statements.

                              _Examples_

7
<Example of a loop containing a goto statement:>

8
     <<Sort>>
     for I in 1 .. N-1 loop
        if A(I) > A(I+1) then
           Exchange(A(I), A(I+1));
           goto Sort;

6 Subprograms
*************

1
A subprogram is a program unit or intrinsic operation whose execution is
invoked by a subprogram call.  There are two forms of subprogram:
procedures and functions.  A procedure call is a statement; a function
call is an expression and returns a value.  The definition of a
subprogram can be given in two parts: a subprogram declaration defining
its interface, and a subprogram_body defining its execution.  [Operators
and enumeration literals are functions.]

1.a
          To be honest: A function call is an expression, but more
          specifically it is a name.

1.b/2
          Glossary entry: A subprogram is a section of a program that
          can be executed in various contexts.  It is invoked by a
          subprogram call that may qualify the effect of the subprogram
          through the passing of parameters.  There are two forms of
          subprograms: functions, which return values, and procedures,
          which do not.

1.c/2
          Glossary entry: A function is a form of subprogram that
          returns a result and can be called as part of an expression.

1.d/2
          Glossary entry: A procedure is a form of subprogram that does
          not return a result and can only be called by a statement.

2/3
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} A <callable entity> is a subprogram or entry
(see Section 9).  A callable entity is invoked by a <call>; that is, a
subprogram call or entry call.  A <callable construct> is a construct
that defines the action of a call upon a callable entity: a
subprogram_body, entry_body, or accept_statement.

2.a
          Ramification: Note that "callable entity" includes predefined
          operators, enumeration literals, and abstract subprograms.
          "Call" includes calls of these things.  They do not have
          callable constructs, since they don't have completions.

17
A <formal parameter> is an object [directly visible within a
subprogram_body] that represents the actual parameter passed to the
subprogram in a call; it is declared by a parameter_specification.  For
a formal parameter, the expected type for its default_expression, if
any, is that of the formal parameter.  

                           _Legality Rules_

18/3
{<AI05-0143-1AI05-0143-1>} The <parameter mode> of a formal parameter
conveys the direction of information transfer with the actual parameter:
in, in out, or out.  Mode in is the default, and is the mode of a
parameter defined by an access_definition.

18.a/3
          <This paragraph was deleted.>{<AI05-0143-1AI05-0143-1>}

19
A default_expression is only allowed in a parameter_specification for a

{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} A subprogram_declaration or a
generic_subprogram_declaration requires a completion [unless the Import
aspect (see *note B.1::) is True for the declaration; the completion
shall be a body or a renaming_declaration (see *note 8.5::)].  [A
completion is not allowed for an abstract_subprogram_declaration (see
*note 3.9.3::), a null_procedure_declaration (see *note 6.7::), or an
expression_function_declaration (see *note 6.8::).]

          {<AI05-0177-1AI05-0177-1>} Abstract subprograms , null
          procedures, and expression functions are not declared by
          subprogram_declarations, and so do not require completion
          (although the latter two can <be> completions).  Protected
          subprograms are declared by subprogram_declarations, and so
          require completion.  Note that an abstract subprogram is a
          subprogram, a null procedure is a subprogram, an expression
          function is a subprogram, and a protected subprogram is a
          subprogram, but a generic subprogram is not a subprogram.

20.b/3
          Proof: {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} When the Import aspect is
          True for any entity, no completion is allowed (see *note
          B.1::).

21
A name that denotes a formal parameter is not allowed within the
formal_part in which it is declared, nor within the formal_part of a
corresponding body or accept_statement.

21.a
          Ramification: By contrast,
          generic_formal_parameter_declarations are visible to
          subsequent declarations in the same generic_formal_part.

                          _Static Semantics_

22
The <profile> of (a view of) a callable entity is either a
parameter_profile or parameter_and_result_profile[; it embodies
information about the interface to that entity -- for example, the
profile includes information about parameters passed to the callable
entity.  All callable entities have a profile -- enumeration literals,
other subprograms, and entries.  An access-to-subprogram type has a
designated profile.]  Associated with a profile is a calling convention.
A subprogram_declaration declares a procedure or a function, as
indicated by the initial reserved word, with name and profile as given
by its specification.

{<AI95-00231-01AI95-00231-01>} {<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>} The

optional null_exclusion and the subtype_mark, or defined by the

access_definition, in the parameter_and_result_profile.

parameter specified by an access_definition.  An <access result type> is
a function result type specified by an access_definition.  An access
parameter or result type is of an anonymous access type (see *note
3.10::).  [Access parameters of an access-to-object type allow
dispatching calls to be controlled by access values.  Access parameters
of an access-to-subprogram type permit calls to subprograms passed as
parameters irrespective of their accessibility level.]

24.a/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>} Access result types
          have normal accessibility and thus don't have any special
          properties worth noting here.

     NOTES

32
     1  A parameter_specification with several identifiers is equivalent
     to a sequence of single parameter_specifications, as explained in
     *note 3.3::.

33
     2  Abstract subprograms do not have bodies, and cannot be used in a
     nondispatching call (see *note 3.9.3::, "*note 3.9.3:: Abstract
     Types and Subprograms").

34
     3  The evaluation of default_expressions is caused by certain
     calls, as described in *note 6.4.1::.  They are not evaluated
     during the elaboration of the subprogram declaration.

35
     4  Subprograms can be called recursively and can be called
     concurrently from multiple tasks.

                              _Examples_

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

42.a
          The syntax for abstract_subprogram_declaration is added.  The
          syntax for parameter_specification is revised to allow for
          access parameters (see *note 3.10::)

42.b/3
          {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} Program units that are library
          units may have a parent_unit_name to indicate the parent of a
          child (see *note 10.1.1::).

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

42.c
          We have incorporated the rules from RM83-6.5, "Function
          Subprograms" here and in *note 6.3::, "*note 6.3:: Subprogram
          Bodies"

42.d
          We have incorporated the definitions of RM83-6.6, "Parameter
          and Result Type Profile - Overloading of Subprograms" here.

42.e
          The syntax rule for defining_operator_symbol is new.  It is
          used for the defining occurrence of an operator_symbol,
          analogously to defining_identifier.  Usage occurrences use the
          direct_name or selector_name syntactic categories.  The syntax
          rules for defining_designator and defining_program_unit_name
          are new.

                        _Extensions to Ada 95_

42.f/2
          {<AI95-00218-03AI95-00218-03>} Subprograms now allow
          overriding_indicators for better error checking of overriding.

42.g/2
          {<AI95-00231-01AI95-00231-01>} An optional null_exclusion can
          be used in a formal parameter declaration.  Similarly, an
          optional null_exclusion can be used in a function result.

42.h/2
          {<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>} The return type of a function
          can be an anonymous access type.

42.i/2
          {<AI95-00254-01AI95-00254-01>} A description of the purpose of
          anonymous access-to-subprogram parameters and the definition
          of the profile of subprograms containing them was added.

42.j/2
          {<AI95-00348-01AI95-00348-01>} Split the production for
          subprogram_specification in order to make the declaration of
          null procedures (see *note 6.7::) easier.

42.k/2
          {<AI95-00348-01AI95-00348-01>} Moved the Syntax and Dynamic
          Semantics for abstract_subprogram_declaration to *note
          3.9.3::, so that the syntax and semantics are together.  This
          also keeps abstract and null subprograms similar.

42.l/2
          {<AI95-00395-01AI95-00395-01>} Revised to allow other_format
          characters in operator_symbols in the same way as the
          underlying constructs.

                       _Extensions to Ada 2005_

42.m/3
          {<AI05-0142-4AI05-0142-4>} Parameters can now be explicitly
          aliased, allowing parts of function results to designate
          parameters and forcing by-reference parameter passing.

42.n/3
          {<AI05-0143-1AI05-0143-1>} The parameters of a function can
          now have any mode.

42.o/3
          {<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>} An optional aspect_specification
          can be used in a subprogram_declaration.  This is described in
          *note 13.1.1::.

File: aarm2012.info,  Node: 6.1.1,  Up: 6.1

6.1.1 Preconditions and Postconditions
--------------------------------------

1/4
{<AI05-0145-2AI05-0145-2>} {<AI05-0247-1AI05-0247-1>}
{<AI12-0045-1AI12-0045-1>} For a noninstance subprogram, a generic
subprogram, or an entry, the following language-defined aspects may be
specified with an aspect_specification (see *note 13.1.1::):

1.a/4
          Ramification: {<AI12-0045-1AI12-0045-1>} "Noninstance
          subprogram" excludes a subprogram that is an instance of a
          generic subprogram.  In that case, the aspects should be
          specified on the generic subprogram.  If preconditions or
          postconditions need to be added to an instance of a generic
          subprogram, it can be accomplished by creating a separate
          subprogram specification and then completing that
          specification with a renames-as-body of the instance.

2/3
Pre
               This aspect specifies a specific precondition for a
               callable entity; it shall be specified by an expression,
               called a <specific precondition expression>.  If not
               specified for an entity, the specific precondition
               expression for the entity is the enumeration literal
               True.

2.a/3
          To be honest: In this and the following rules, we are talking
          about the enumeration literal True declared in package
          Standard (see *note A.1::), and not some other value or
          identifier True.  That matters as some rules depend on full
          conformance of these expressions, which depends on the
          specific declarations involved.

2.b/3
          Aspect Description for Pre: Precondition; a condition that
          must hold true before a call.

3/3
{<AI05-0254-1AI05-0254-1>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} Pre'Class
               This aspect specifies a class-wide precondition for an
               operation of a tagged type and its descendants; it shall
               be specified by an expression, called a <class-wide
               precondition expression>.  If not specified for an
               entity, then if no other class-wide precondition applies
               to the entity, the class-wide precondition expression for
               the entity is the enumeration literal True.

3.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0254-1AI05-0254-1>} If other class-wide
          preconditions apply to the entity and no class-wide
          precondition is specified, no class-wide precondition is
          defined for the entity; of course, the class-wide
          preconditions (of ancestors) that apply are still going to be
          checked.  We need subprograms that don't have ancestors and
          don't specify a class-wide precondition to have a class-wide
          precondition of True, so that adding such a precondition to a
          descendant has no effect (necessary as a dispatching call
          through the root routine would not check any precondition).

3.b/3
          Aspect Description for Pre'Class: Precondition inherited on
          type derivation.

4/3
Post
               This aspect specifies a specific postcondition for a
               callable entity; it shall be specified by an expression,
               called a <specific postcondition expression>.  If not
               specified for an entity, the specific postcondition
               expression for the entity is the enumeration literal
               True.

4.a/3
          Aspect Description for Post: Postcondition; a condition that
          must hold true after a call.

5/3
{<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} Post'Class
               This aspect specifies a class-wide postcondition for an
               operation of a tagged type and its descendants; it shall
               be specified by an expression, called a <class-wide
               postcondition expression>.  If not specified for an
               entity, the class-wide postcondition expression for the
               entity is the enumeration literal True.

5.a/3
          Aspect Description for Post'Class: Postcondition inherited on
          type derivation.

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

6/3
{<AI05-0145-2AI05-0145-2>} The expected type for a precondition or
postcondition expression is any boolean type.

{<AI12-0113-1AI12-0113-1>} {<AI12-0159-1AI12-0159-1>} Within the
expression for a Pre'Class or Post'Class aspect for a primitive
subprogram <S> of a tagged type <T>, a name that denotes a formal
parameter (or <S>'Result) of type <T> is interpreted as though it had a
(notional) type <NT> that is a formal derived type whose ancestor type
is <T>, with directly visible primitive operations.  Similarly, a name
that denotes a formal access parameter (or <S>'Result) of type
access-to-<T> is interpreted as having type access-to-<NT>.  [The result
of this interpretation is that the only operations that can be applied
to such names are those defined for such a formal derived type.]

7.a/4
          Reason: {<AI12-0159-1AI12-0159-1>} This ensures that the
          expression is well-defined for any primitive subprogram of a
          type descended from <T>.

8/3
{<AI05-0145-2AI05-0145-2>} {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} For an
attribute_reference with attribute_designator Old, if the attribute
reference has an expected type or shall resolve to a given type, the
same applies to the prefix; otherwise, the prefix shall be resolved
independently of context.

9/3
{<AI05-0145-2AI05-0145-2>} {<AI05-0230-1AI05-0230-1>} The Pre or Post
aspect shall not be specified for an abstract subprogram or a null
procedure.  [Only the Pre'Class and Post'Class aspects may be specified
for such a subprogram.]

9.a/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>} Pre'Class and
          Post'Class can only be specified on primitive routines of
          tagged types, by a blanket rule found in *note 13.1.1::.

{<AI05-0247-1AI05-0247-1>} {<AI05-0254-1AI05-0254-1>} If a type <T> has
an implicitly declared subprogram <P> inherited from a parent type <T1>
and a homograph (see *note 8.3::) of <P> from a progenitor type <T2>,
and

15/3
   * If the type <T> is abstract, the implicitly declared subprogram <P>
     is <abstract>.

16/3
   * Otherwise, the subprogram <P> <requires overriding> and shall be
     overridden with a nonabstract subprogram.

16.a/3
          Discussion: We use the term "requires overriding" here so that
          this rule is taken into account when calculating visibility in
          *note 8.3::; otherwise we would have a mess when this routine
          is overridden.

16.b/3
          Reason: Such an inherited subprogram would necessarily violate
          the Liskov Substitutability Principle (LSP) if called via a
          dispatching call from an ancestor other than the one that
          provides the called body.  In such a case, the class-wide
          precondition of the actual body is stronger than the
          class-wide precondition of the ancestor.  If we did not
          enforce that precondition for the body, the body could be
          called when the precondition it knows about is False -- such
          "counterfeiting" of preconditions has to be avoided.  But
          enforcing the precondition violates LSP. We do not want the
          language to be implicitly creating bodies that violate LSP;
          the programmer can still write an explicit body that calls the
          appropriate parent subprogram.  In that case, the violation of
          LSP is explicitly in the code and obvious to code reviewers
          (both human and automated).

16.c/3
          We have to say that the subprogram is abstract for an abstract
          type in this case, so that the next concrete type has to
          override it for the reasons above.  Otherwise, inserting an
          extra level of abstract types would eliminate the requirement
          to override (as there is only one declared operation for the
          concrete type), and that would be bad for the reasons given
          above.

16.d/3
          Ramification: This requires the set of class-wide
          preconditions that apply to the interface routine to be
          strictly stronger than those that apply to the concrete
          routine.  Since full conformance requires each name to denote
          the same declaration, it is unlikely that independently
          declared preconditions would conform.  This rule does allow
          "diamond inheritance" of preconditions, and of course no
          preconditions at all match.

16.e/3
          We considered adopting a rule that would allow examples where
          the expressions would conform after all inheritance has been
          applied, but this is complex and is not likely to be common in
          practice.  Since the penalty here is just that an explicit
          overriding is required, the complexity is too much.

17/3
{<AI05-0247-1AI05-0247-1>} If a renaming of a subprogram or entry <S1>
overrides an inherited subprogram <S2>, then the overriding is illegal
unless each class-wide precondition expression that applies to <S1>
fully conforms to some class-wide precondition expression that applies
to <S2> and each class-wide precondition expression that applies to <S2>
fully conforms to some class-wide precondition expression that applies
to <S1>.

17.a/3
          Reason: Such an overriding subprogram would violate LSP, as
          the precondition of <S1> would usually be different (and thus
          stronger) than the one known to a dispatching call through an
          ancestor routine of <S2>.  This is always OK if the
          preconditions match, so we always allow that.

17.b/3
          Ramification: This only applies to primitives of tagged types;
          other routines cannot have class-wide preconditions.

17.1/4
{<AI12-0131-1AI12-0131-1>} Pre'Class shall not be specified for an
overriding primitive subprogram of a tagged type <T> unless the
Pre'Class aspect is specified for the corresponding primitive subprogram
of some ancestor of <T>.

17.c/4
          Reason: Any such Pre'Class will have no effect, as it will be
          ored with True.  As such, it is highly misleading for readers,
          especially for those who are determining the assumptions that
          can be made in the body of the primitive subprogram.  Note
          that in this case there is nothing explicit that might
          indicate that the class-wide precondition is ineffective.
          This rule does not prevent explicitly writing an ineffective
          class-wide precondition (for instance, if the parent
          subprogram has explicitly specified a precondition of True).

17.2/4
{<AI12-0131-1AI12-0131-1>} In addition to the places where Legality
Rules normally apply (see *note 12.3::), these rules also apply in the
private part of an instance of a generic unit.

{<AI12-0131-1AI12-0131-1>} If a Pre'Class or Post'Class aspect is
specified for a primitive subprogram <S> of a tagged type <T>, or such
an aspect defaults to True, then a corresponding expression also applies
to the corresponding primitive subprogram <S> of each descendant of <T>.
The <corresponding expression> is constructed from the associated
expression as follows: 

18.a/4
          Ramification: A Pre'Class defaults to True only if no
          class-wide preconditions are inherited for the subprogram.
          The same is true for Post'Class.

18.b/4
          Reason: We have to inherit precondition expressions that
          default to True, so that later overridings don't strengthen
          the precondition (a violation of LSP). We do the same for
          postconditions for consistency.

18.1/4
   * {<AI12-0113-1AI12-0113-1>} References to formal parameters of <S>
     (or to <S> itself) are replaced with references to the
     corresponding formal parameters of the corresponding inherited or
     overriding subprogram <S> (or to the corresponding subprogram <S>
     itself).

18.c/4
          Reason: We have to define the corresponding expression this
          way as overriding routines are only required to be subtype
          conformant; in particular, the parameter names can be
          different.  So we have to talk about corresponding parameters
          without mentioning any names.

18.2/4
{<AI12-0113-1AI12-0113-1>} The primitive subprogram <S> is illegal if it
is not abstract and the corresponding expression for a Pre'Class or
Post'Class aspect would be illegal.

18.d/4
          Ramification: This can happen, for instance, if one of the
          subprograms called in the corresponding expression is
          abstract.  We made the rule general so that we don't have to
          worry about exactly which cases can cause this to happen, both
          now and in the future.

18.e/4
          Reason: We allow illegal corresponding expressions on abstract
          subprograms as they could never be evaluated, and we need to
          allow such expressions to contain calls to abstract
          subprograms.

applicable to a given subprogram or entry, then the respective

               Each X'Old in a postcondition expression that is enabled

26.6/4
                    where the name X'Old denotes the object renaming.

26.a/4
          Ramification: This means that the underlying tag associated
          with X'Old is that of X and not that of the nominal type of X.

               is as implied by the above definitions.  The expected
               type of the prefix of an Old attribute is that of the
               attribute.  Similarly, if an Old attribute shall resolve
               to be of some type, then the prefix of the attribute
               shall resolve to be of that type.

27/3
               {<AI05-0145-2AI05-0145-2>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>}
               {<AI05-0273-1AI05-0273-1>} Reference to this attribute is
               only allowed within a postcondition expression.  The
               prefix of an Old attribute_reference shall not contain a
               Result attribute_reference, nor an Old
               attribute_reference, nor a use of an entity declared
               within the postcondition expression but not within prefix
               itself (for example, the loop parameter of an enclosing
               quantified_expression).  The prefix of an Old
               attribute_reference that is potentially unevaluated shall
               statically denote an entity.

27.a/3
          Discussion: The prefix X can be any nonlimited object that
          obeys the syntax for prefix other than the few exceptions
          given above (discussed below).  Useful cases are: the name of
          a formal parameter of mode [in] out, the name of a global
          variable updated by the subprogram, a function call passing
          those as parameters, a subcomponent of those things, etc.

27.b/3
          A qualified expression can be used to make an arbitrary
          expression into a valid prefix, so T'(X + Y)'Old is legal,
          even though (X + Y)'Old is not.  The value being saved here is
          the sum of X and Y (a function result is an object).  Of
          course, in this case "+"(X, Y)'Old is also legal, but the
          qualified expression is arguably more readable.

27.c/3
          Note that F(X)'Old and F(X'Old) are not necessarily equal.
          The former calls F(X) and saves that value for later use
          during the postcondition.  The latter saves the value of X,
          and during the postcondition, passes that saved value to F. In
          most cases, the former is what one wants (but it is not always
          legal, see below).

27.d/4
          {<AI12-0032-1AI12-0032-1>} If X has controlled parts,
          adjustment and finalization are implied by the implicit
          constant declaration.  Similarly, the implicit constant
          declaration defines the accessibility level of X'Old.

27.e/3
          If postconditions are disabled, we want the compiler to avoid
          any overhead associated with saving 'Old values.

27.f/3
          'Old makes no sense for limited types, because its
          implementation involves copying.  It might make semantic sense
          to allow build-in-place, but it's not worth the trouble.

27.g/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0273-1AI05-0273-1>} Since the prefix is
          evaluated unconditionally when the subprogram is called, we
          cannot allow it to include values that do not exist at that
          time (like 'Result and loop parameters of
          quantified_expressions).  We also do not allow it to include
          'Old references, as those would be redundant (the entire
          prefix is evaluated when the subprogram is called), and
          allowing them would require some sort of order to the implicit
          constant declarations (because in A(I'Old)'Old, we surely
          would want the value of I'Old evaluated before the A(I'Old) is
          evaluated).

27.h/3
          {<AI05-0273-1AI05-0273-1>} In addition, we only allow simple
          names as the prefix of the Old attribute if the
          attribute_reference might not be evaluated when the
          postcondition expression is evaluated.  This is necessary
          because the Old prefixes have to be unconditionally evaluated
          when the subprogram is called; the compiler cannot in general
          know whether they will be needed in the postcondition
          expression.  To see the problem, consider:

27.i/3
               Table : array (1..10) of Integer := ...
               procedure Bar (I : in out Natural)
                  with Post => I > 0 and then Table(I)'Old = 1; -- <Illegal>

27.j/3
          In this example, the compiler cannot know the value of I when
          the subprogram returns (since the subprogram execution can
          change it), and thus it does not know whether Table(I)'Old
          will be needed then.  Thus it has to always create an implicit
          constant and evaluate Table(I) when Bar is called (because not
          having the value when it is needed is not acceptable).  But if
          I = 0 when the subprogram is called, that evaluation will
          raise Constraint_Error, and that will happen even if I is
          unchanged by the subprogram and the value of Table(I)'Old is
          not ultimately needed.  It's easy to see how a similar problem
          could occur for a dereference of an access type.  This would
          be mystifying (since the point of the short circuit is to
          eliminate this possibility, but it cannot do so).  Therefore,
          we require the prefix of any Old attribute in such a context
          to statically denote an object, which eliminates anything that
          could change at during execution.

27.k/3
          It is easy to work around most errors that occur because of
          this rule.  Just move the 'Old to the outer object, before any
          indexing, dereferences, or components.  (That does not work
          for function calls, however, nor does it work for array
          indexing if the index can change during the execution of the
          subprogram.)

          Ramification: The class-wide precondition expressions of the
          entity itself as well as those of any parent or progenitor
          operations are evaluated, as these expressions apply to the
          corresponding operations of all descendants.

33.b/3
          Class-wide precondition checks are performed for all
          appropriate calls, but only enabled precondition expressions
          are evaluated.  Thus, the check would be trivial if no
          precondition expressions are enabled.

{<AI05-0254-1AI05-0254-1>} {<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>} The precondition
checks are performed in an arbitrary order, and if any of the class-wide
precondition expressions evaluate to True, it is not specified whether
the other class-wide precondition expressions are evaluated.  The
precondition checks and any check for elaboration of the subprogram body
are performed in an arbitrary order.  It is not specified whether in a
call on a protected operation, the checks are performed before or after
starting the protected action.  For an entry call, the checks are
performed prior to checking whether the entry is open.

34.a/3
          Reason: We need to explicitly allow short-circuiting of the
          evaluation of the class-wide precondition check if any
          expression fails, as it consists of multiple expressions; we
          don't need a similar permission for the specific precondition
          check as it consists only of a single expression.  Nothing is
          evaluated for the call after a check fails, as the failed
          check propagates an exception.

{<AI05-0290-1AI05-0290-1>} Upon successful return from a call of the
subprogram or entry, prior to copying back any by-copy in out or out
parameters, the postcondition check is performed.  This consists of the
evaluation of any enabled specific and class-wide postcondition
expressions that apply to the subprogram or entry.  If any of the
postcondition expressions evaluate to False, then
Assertions.Assertion_Error is raised.  The postcondition expressions are
evaluated in an arbitrary order, and if any postcondition expression
evaluates to False, it is not specified whether any other postcondition
expressions are evaluated.  The postcondition check, and any constraint
or predicate checks associated with in out or out parameters are
performed in an arbitrary order.

35.a/3
          Ramification: The class-wide postcondition expressions of the
          entity itself as well as those of any parent or progenitor
          operations are evaluated, as these apply to all descendants;
          in contrast, only the specific postcondition of the entity
          applies.  Postconditions can always be evaluated inside the
          invoked body.

35.1/4
{<AI12-0032-1AI12-0032-1>} For a call to a task entry, the postcondition
check is performed before the end of the rendezvous; for a call to a
protected operation, the postcondition check is performed before the end
of the protected action of the call.  The postcondition check for any
call is performed before the finalization of any implicitly-declared
constants associated (as described above) with Old attribute_references
but after the finalization of any other entities whose accessibility
level is that of the execution of the callable construct.

35.a.1/4
          Reason: {<AI12-0032-1AI12-0032-1>} If a postcondition
          references the implicitly-declared constant associated with an
          Old attribute, the postcondition must be evaluated before the
          constant is finalized.  One way to think of this is to imagine
          declaring a controlled object between any implicit "'Old"
          constant declarations and any explicit declarations, then
          performing postcondition checks during the finalization of
          this object.

36/3
{<AI05-0145-2AI05-0145-2>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} If a precondition
or postcondition check fails, the exception is raised at the point of
the call[; the exception cannot be handled inside the called subprogram
or entry].  Similarly, any exception raised by the evaluation of a
precondition or postcondition expression is raised at the point of call.

{<AI12-0113-1AI12-0113-1>} {<AI12-0159-1AI12-0159-1>} For any call to a
subprogram or entry <S> (including dispatching calls), the checks that
are performed to verify specific precondition expressions and specific
and class-wide postcondition expressions are determined by those for the
subprogram or entry actually invoked.  Note that the class-wide
postcondition expressions verified by the postcondition check that is
part of a call on a primitive subprogram of type <T> includes all
class-wide postcondition expressions originating in any progenitor of
<T>[, even if the primitive subprogram called is inherited from a type
<T1> and some of the postcondition expressions do not apply to the
corresponding primitive subprogram of <T1>].  Any operations within a
class-wide postcondition expression that were resolved as primitive
operations of the (notional) formal derived type <NT>, are in the
evaluation of the postcondition bound to the corresponding operations of
the type identified by the controlling tag of the call on <S>.[ This
applies to both dispatching and non-dispatching calls on <S>.]

37.a/3
          Ramification: This applies to access-to-subprogram calls,
          dispatching calls, and to statically bound calls.  We need
          this rule to cover statically bound calls as well, as specific
          pre- and postconditions are not inherited, but the subprogram
          might be.

37.b/3
          For concrete subprograms, we require the original specific
          postcondition to be evaluated as well as the inherited
          class-wide postconditions in order that the semantics of an
          explicitly defined wrapper that does nothing but call the
          original subprogram is the same as that of an inherited
          subprogram.

37.c/3
          Note that this rule does not apply to class-wide
          preconditions; they have their own rules mentioned below.

{<AI12-0159-1AI12-0159-1>} The class-wide precondition check for a call
to a subprogram or entry <S> consists solely of checking the class-wide
precondition expressions that apply to the denoted callable entity (not
necessarily to the one that is invoked).  Any operations within such an
expression that were resolved as primitive operations of the (notional)
formal derived type <NT> are in the evaluation of the precondition bound
to the corresponding operations of the type identified by the
controlling tag of the call on <S>.[ This applies to both dispatching
and non-dispatching calls on <S>.]

38.a/3
          Ramification: For a dispatching call, we are talking about the
          Pre'Class(es) that apply to the subprogram that the
          dispatching call is resolving to, not the Pre'Class(es) for
          the subprogram that is ultimately dispatched to.  The
          class-wide precondition of the resolved call is necessarily
          the same or stronger than that of the invoked call.  For a
          statically bound call, these are the same; for an
          access-to-subprogram, (which has no class-wide preconditions
          of its own), we check the class-wide preconditions of the
          invoked routine.

38.b/3
          Implementation Note: These rules imply that logically,
          class-wide preconditions of routines must be checked at the
          point of call (other than for access-to-subprogram calls,
          which must be checked in the body, probably using a wrapper).
          Specific preconditions that might be called with a dispatching
          call or via an access-to-subprogram value must be checked
          inside of the subprogram body.  In contrast, the postcondition
          checks always need to be checked inside the body of the
          routine.  Of course, an implementation can evaluate all of
          these at the point of call for statically bound calls if the
          implementation uses wrappers for dispatching bodies and for
          'Access values.

38.c/3
          There is no requirement for an implementation to generate
          special code for routines that are imported from outside of
          the Ada program.  That's because there is a requirement on the
          programmer that the use of interfacing aspects do not violate
          Ada semantics (see *note B.1::).  That includes making pre-
          and postcondition checks.  For instance, if the implementation
          expects routines to make their own postcondition checks in the
          body before returning, C code can be assumed to do this (even
          though that is highly unlikely).  That's even though the
          formal definition of those checks is that they are evaluated
          at the call site.  Note that pre- and postconditions can be
          very useful for verification tools (even if they aren't
          checked), because they tell the tool about the expectations on
          the foreign code that it most likely cannot analyze.

{<AI05-0254-1AI05-0254-1>} For a call via an access-to-subprogram value,

40.b/4
          {<AI12-0032-1AI12-0032-1>} Corrigendum: The Old attribute is
          defined more carefully.  This changes the nominal subtype and
          place of declaration of the attribute compared to the
          published Ada 2012 Standard.  In extreme cases, this could
          change the runtime behavior of the attribute (for instance,
          the tag might be different).  The changes are most likely
          going to prevent bugs by being more intuitive, but it is
          possible that a program that previously worked might fail.

40.c/4
          {<AI12-0113-1AI12-0113-1>} {<AI12-0159-1AI12-0159-1>}
          Corrigendum: Eliminated unintentional redispatching from
          class-wide preconditions and postconditions.  This means that
          a different body might be evaluated for a statically bound
          call to a routine that has a class-wide precondition or
          postcondition.  The change means that the behavior of Pre and
          Pre'Class will be the same for a particular subprogram, and
          that the known behavior of the operations can be assumed
          within the body of that subprogram for Pre'Class.  We expect
          that this change will primarily fix bugs, as it will make
          Pre'Class and Post'Class work more like expected.  In the case
          where redispatching is desired, an explicit conversion to a
          class-wide type can be used.

                   _Incompatibilities With Ada 2012_

40.d/4
          {<AI12-0045-1AI12-0045-1>} Corrigendum: Precondition and
          postcondition aspects cannot be specified on instances of
          generic subprograms (they should be specified on the generic
          subprogram instead).  This was (unintentionally) allowed by
          the Ada 2012 standard.  These are not be allowed on instances
          as there is no corresponding way to add preconditions and
          postconditions to subprograms declared within the instance of
          a generic package.  Therefore, allowing specification on a
          subprogram instance could present a maintenance problem in the
          future if the entity needs to be converted to a generic
          package (a common conversion).

40.e/4
          {<AI12-0131-1AI12-0131-1>} Corrigendum: Pre'Class is no longer
          allowed to be specified for an overriding primitive subprogram
          unless there are also inherited class-wide precondittions.
          This incompatibility prevents cases where the explicit
          Pre'Class is counterfeited by an implicit class-wide
          precondition of True.  This rule should catch more bugs than
          it creates; the programmer should have written Pre rather than
          Pre'Class in this case (or written Pre'Class on the original
          subprogram, not an overriding).  Note that this
          incompatibility eliminates what otherwise would be an
          inconsistency with original Ada 2012, where precondition
          checks that would have previously been made for a statically
          bound call would no longer be made.  That dynamic change was
          necessary to eliminate cases where the evaluated class-wide
          precondition on a dispatching call would have been weaker than
          the class-wide precondition of a statically bound call.  (The
          original Ada 2012 violated the LSP semantics that class-wide
          preconditions were intended to model.

6.2 Formal Parameter Modes
==========================

1
[A parameter_specification declares a formal parameter of mode in, in
out, or out.]

                          _Static Semantics_

2
A parameter is passed either <by copy> or <by reference>.  [When a
parameter is passed by copy, the formal parameter denotes a separate
object from the actual parameter, and any information transfer between
the two occurs only before and after executing the subprogram.  When a
parameter is passed by reference, the formal parameter denotes (a view
of) the object denoted by the actual parameter; reads and updates of the
formal parameter directly reference the actual parameter object.]

3/3
{<AI05-0142-4AI05-0142-4>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} A type is a
<by-copy type> if it is an elementary type, or if it is a descendant of
a private type whose full type is a by-copy type.  A parameter of a
by-copy type is passed by copy, unless the formal parameter is
explicitly aliased.

4
A type is a <by-reference type> if it is a descendant of one of the
following:

5
   * a tagged type;

6
   * a task or protected type;

7/3
   * {<AI05-0096-1AI05-0096-1>} an explicitly limited record type;

7.a/3
          <This paragraph was deleted.>{<AI05-0096-1AI05-0096-1>}

8
   * a composite type with a subcomponent of a by-reference type;

9
   * a private type whose full type is a by-reference type.

10/4
{<AI05-0142-4AI05-0142-4>} {<AI05-0188-1AI05-0188-1>}
{<AI12-0027-1AI12-0027-1>} A parameter of a by-reference type is passed
by reference, as is an explicitly aliased parameter of any type.  Each
value of a by-reference type has an associated object.  For a
parenthesized expression, qualified_expression, or view conversion, this
object is the one associated with the operand.  For a value conversion,
the associated object is the anonymous result object if such an object
is created (see *note 4.6::); otherwise it is the associated object of
the operand.  For a conditional_expression, this object is the one
associated with the evaluated <dependent_>expression.

10.a
          Ramification: By-reference parameter passing makes sense only
          if there is an object to reference; hence, we define such an
          object for each case.

10.b
          Since tagged types are by-reference types, this implies that
          every value of a tagged type has an associated object.  This
          simplifies things, because we can define the tag to be a
          property of the object, and not of the value of the object,
          which makes it clearer that object tags never change.

10.c
          We considered simplifying things even more by making every
          value (and therefore every expression) have an associated
          object.  After all, there is little semantic difference
          between a constant object and a value.  However, this would
          cause problems for untagged types.  In particular, we would
          have to do a constraint check on every read of a type
          conversion (or a renaming thereof) in certain cases.

10.d/2
          {<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>} We do not want this definition
          to depend on the view of the type; privateness is essentially
          ignored for this definition.  Otherwise, things would be
          confusing (does the rule apply at the call site, at the site
          of the declaration of the subprogram, at the site of the
          return statement?), and requiring different calls to use
          different mechanisms would be an implementation burden.

10.e
          *note C.6::, "*note C.6:: Shared Variable Control" says that a
          composite type with an atomic or volatile subcomponent is a
          by-reference type, among other things.

10.f
          Every value of a limited by-reference type is the value of one
          and only one limited object.  The <associated object> of a
          value of a limited by-reference type is the object whose value
          it represents.  Two values of a limited by-reference type are
          the <same> if and only if they represent the value of the same
          object.

10.g
          We say "by-reference" above because these statements are not
          always true for limited private types whose underlying type is
          nonlimited (unfortunately).

11/3
{<AI05-0240-1AI05-0240-1>} For other parameters, it is unspecified
whether the parameter is passed by copy or by reference.

11.a/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} There is no need to
          incorporate the discussion of AI83-00178, which requires
          pass-by-copy for certain kinds of actual parameters, while
          allowing pass-by-reference for others.  This is because we
          explicitly indicate that a function creates an anonymous
          constant object for its result (see *note 6.5::).  We also
          provide a special dispensation for instances of
          Unchecked_Conversion to return by reference (see *note
          13.9::).

                      _Bounded (Run-Time) Errors_

12/3
{<AI05-0240-1AI05-0240-1>} If one name denotes a part of a formal
parameter, and a second name denotes a part of a distinct formal
parameter or an object that is not part of a formal parameter, then the
two names are considered <distinct access paths>.  If an object is of a
type for which the parameter passing mechanism is not specified and is
not an explicitly aliased parameter, then it is a bounded error to
assign to the object via one access path, and then read the value of the
object via a distinct access path, unless the first access path denotes
a part of a formal parameter that no longer exists at the point of the
second access [(due to leaving the corresponding callable construct).]
The possible consequences are that Program_Error is raised, or the newly
assigned value is read, or some old value of the object is read.

12.a
          Discussion: For example, if we call "P(X => Global_Variable, Y
          => Global_Variable)", then within P, the names "X", "Y", and
          "Global_Variable" are all distinct access paths.  If
          Global_Variable's type is neither pass-by-copy nor
          pass-by-reference, then it is a bounded error to assign to
          Global_Variable and then read X or Y, since the language does
          not specify whether the old or the new value would be read.
          On the other hand, if Global_Variable's type is pass-by-copy,
          then the old value would always be read, and there is no
          error.  Similarly, if Global_Variable's type is defined by the
          language to be pass-by-reference, then the new value would
          always be read, and again there is no error.

12.b
          Reason: We are saying <assign> here, not <update>, because
          updating any subcomponent is considered to update the
          enclosing object.

12.c
          The "still exists" part is so that a read after the subprogram
          returns is OK.

12.d
          If the parameter is of a by-copy type, then there is no issue
          here -- the formal is not a view of the actual.  If the
          parameter is of a by-reference type, then the programmer may
          depend on updates through one access path being visible
          through some other access path, just as if the parameter were
          of an access type.

12.e
          Implementation Note: The implementation can keep a copy in a
          register of a parameter whose parameter-passing mechanism is
          not specified.  If a different access path is used to update
          the object (creating a bounded error situation), then the
          implementation can still use the value of the register, even
          though the in-memory version of the object has been changed.
          However, to keep the error properly bounded, if the
          implementation chooses to read the in-memory version, it has
          to be consistent -- it cannot then assume that something it
          has proven about the register is true of the memory location.
          For example, suppose the formal parameter is L, the value of
          L(6) is now in a register, and L(6) is used in an
          indexed_component as in "A(L(6)) := 99;", where A has bounds
          1..3.  If the implementation can prove that the value for L(6)
          in the register is in the range 1..3, then it need not perform
          the constraint check if it uses the register value.  However,
          if the memory value of L(6) has been changed to 4, and the
          implementation uses that memory value, then it had better not
          alter memory outside of A.

12.f
          Note that the rule allows the implementation to pass a
          parameter by reference and then keep just part of it in a
          register, or, equivalently, to pass part of the parameter by
          reference and another part by copy.

12.g
          Reason: We do not want to go so far as to say that the mere
          presence of aliasing is wrong.  We wish to be able to write
          the following sorts of things in standard Ada:

12.h
               procedure Move ( Source  : in  String;
                                Target  : out String;
                                Drop    : in  Truncation := Error;
                                Justify : in  Alignment  := Left;
                                Pad     : in  Character  := Space);
               --< Copies elements from Source to Target (safely if they overlap)>

12.i
          This is from the standard string handling package.  It would
          be embarrassing if this couldn't be written in Ada!

12.j
          The "then" before "read" in the rule implies that the
          implementation can move a read to an earlier place in the
          code, but not to a later place after a potentially aliased
          assignment.  Thus, if the subprogram reads one of its
          parameters into a local variable, and then updates another
          potentially aliased one, the local copy is safe -- it is known
          to have the old value.  For example, the above-mentioned Move
          subprogram can be implemented by copying Source into a local
          variable before assigning into Target.

12.k
          For an assignment_statement assigning one array parameter to
          another, the implementation has to check which direction to
          copy at run time, in general, in case the actual parameters
          are overlapping slices.  For example:

12.l
               procedure Copy(X : in out String; Y: String) is
               begin
                   X := Y;
               end Copy;

12.m
          It would be wrong for the compiler to assume that X and Y do
          not overlap (unless, of course, it can prove otherwise).

     NOTES

13/4
     6  {<AI12-0056-1AI12-0056-1>} The mode of a formal parameter
     describes the direction of information transfer to or from the
     subprogram_body (see *note 6.1::).

14
     7  A formal parameter of mode in is a constant view (see *note
     3.3::); it cannot be updated within the subprogram_body.

15/4
     8  {<AI12-0056-1AI12-0056-1>} A formal parameter of mode out might
     be uninitialized at the start of the subprogram_body (see *note

15.a
          The value of an out parameter may be read.  An out parameter
          is treated like a declared variable without an explicit
          initial expression.

15.b
          Discussion of copy-in for parts of out parameters is now

          Associations".

15.c
          The concept of a by-reference type is new to Ada 95.

15.d
          We now cover in a general way in *note 3.7.2:: the rule
          regarding erroneous execution when a discriminant is changed
          and one of the parameters depends on the discriminant.

15.e/3
          {<AI05-0096-1AI05-0096-1>} Correction: Corrected so that
          limited derived types are by-reference only if their parent
          is.

15.f/3
          {<AI05-0142-4AI05-0142-4>} Defined that explicitly aliased
          parameters (see *note 6.1::) are always passed by reference.

15.g/4
          {<AI05-0027-1AI05-0027-1>} Corrigendum: Corrected so that
          value conversions that are copies are the "associated object"
          for parameter passing of by-reference types.  This can only
          happen if the conversion is between unrelated non-limited
          types, and it is necessary just so the correct object is
          defined.

6.3 Subprogram Bodies
=====================

1
[A subprogram_body specifies the execution of a subprogram.]

                               _Syntax_

2/3
     {<AI95-00218-03AI95-00218-03>} {<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>}
     subprogram_body ::=
         [overriding_indicator]
         subprogram_specification
            [aspect_specification] is
            declarative_part
         begin
             handled_sequence_of_statements
         end [designator];

3
     If a designator appears at the end of a subprogram_body, it shall
     repeat the defining_designator of the subprogram_specification.

                           _Legality Rules_

4
[In contrast to other bodies,] a subprogram_body need not be the
completion of a previous declaration[, in which case the body declares
the subprogram].  If the body is a completion, it shall be the
completion of a subprogram_declaration or
generic_subprogram_declaration.  The profile of a subprogram_body that
completes a declaration shall conform fully to that of the declaration.
                          _Static Semantics_

5
A subprogram_body is considered a declaration.  It can either complete a
previous declaration, or itself be the initial declaration of the
subprogram.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

6
The elaboration of a nongeneric subprogram_body has no other effect than
to establish that the subprogram can from then on be called without
failing the Elaboration_Check.

6.a
          Ramification: See *note 12.2:: for elaboration of a generic
          body.  Note that protected subprogram_bodies never get
          elaborated; the elaboration of the containing protected_body
          allows them to be called without failing the
          Elaboration_Check.

7
[The execution of a subprogram_body is invoked by a subprogram call.]
For this execution the declarative_part is elaborated, and the
handled_sequence_of_statements is then executed.

                              _Examples_

8
<Example of procedure body:>

9
     procedure Push(E : in Element_Type; S : in out Stack) is
     begin
        if S.Index = S.Size then
           raise Stack_Overflow;
        else
           S.Index := S.Index + 1;
           S.Space(S.Index) := E;
        end if;
     end Push;

10
<Example of a function body:>

11
     function Dot_Product(Left, Right : Vector) return Real is
        Sum : Real := 0.0;
     begin
        Check(Left'First = Right'First and Left'Last = Right'Last);
        for J in Left'Range loop
           Sum := Sum + Left(J)*Right(J);
        end loop;
        return Sum;
     end Dot_Product;

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

11.a
          A renaming_declaration may be used instead of a
          subprogram_body.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

11.b
          The syntax rule for subprogram_body now uses the syntactic
          category handled_sequence_of_statements.

11.c
          The declarative_part of a subprogram_body is now required;
          that doesn't make any real difference, because a
          declarative_part can be empty.

11.d
          We have incorporated some rules from RM83-6.5 here.

11.e
          RM83 forgot to restrict the definition of elaboration of a
          subprogram_body to nongenerics.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

11.f/2
          {<AI95-00218-03AI95-00218-03>} Overriding_indicator is added
          to subprogram_body.

6.3.1 Conformance Rules
-----------------------

1
[When subprogram profiles are given in more than one place, they are
required to conform in one of four ways: type conformance, mode
conformance, subtype conformance, or full conformance.]

                          _Static Semantics_

2/1
{<8652/00118652/0011>} {<AI95-00117-01AI95-00117-01>} [As explained in
*note B.1::, "*note B.1:: Interfacing Aspects", a <convention> can be
specified for an entity.]  Unless this International Standard states
otherwise, the default convention of an entity is Ada.  [For a callable
entity or access-to-subprogram type, the convention is called the
<calling convention>.]  The following conventions are defined by the
language:

3/3
   * {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} The default calling convention for any
     subprogram not listed below is <Ada>.  [The Convention aspect may
     be specified to override the default calling convention (see *note
     B.1::)].

3.a
          Ramification: See also the rule about renamings-as-body in
          *note 8.5.4::.

4
   * The <Intrinsic> calling convention represents subprograms that are
     "built in" to the compiler.  The default calling convention is
     Intrinsic for the following:

5
             * an enumeration literal;

6
             * a "/=" operator declared implicitly due to the
               declaration of "=" (see *note 6.6::);

7
             * any other implicitly declared subprogram unless it is a
               dispatching operation of a tagged type;

8
             * an inherited subprogram of a generic formal tagged type
               with unknown discriminants;

8.a.1/1
          Reason: Consider:

8.a.2/1
               package P is
                   type Root is tagged null record;
                   procedure Proc(X: Root);
               end P;

8.a.3/1
               generic
                   type Formal(<>) is new Root with private;
               package G is
                   ...
               end G;

8.a.4/1
               package body G is
                   ...
                   X: Formal := ...;
                   ...
                   Proc(X); -- <This is a dispatching call in Instance, because>
                            -- <the actual type for Formal is class-wide.>
                   ...
                   -- <Proc'Access would be illegal here, because it is of>
                   -- <convention Intrinsic, by the above rule.>
               end G;

8.a.5/1
               type Actual is new Root with ...;
               procedure Proc(X: Actual);
               package Instance is new G(Formal => Actual'Class);
                   -- <It is legal to pass in a class-wide actual, because Formal>
                   -- <has unknown discriminants.>

8.a.6/1
          Within Instance, all calls to Proc will be dispatching calls,
          so Proc doesn't really exist in machine code, so we wish to
          avoid taking 'Access of it.  This rule applies to those cases
          where the actual type might be class-wide, and makes these
          Intrinsic, thus forbidding 'Access.

9
             * an attribute that is a subprogram;

10/2
             * {<AI95-00252-01AI95-00252-01>} a subprogram declared
               immediately within a protected_body;

10.1/4
             * {<AI95-00252-01AI95-00252-01>}
               {<AI95-00407-01AI95-00407-01>} {<AI12-0107-1AI12-0107-1>}
               any prefixed view of a subprogram (see *note 4.1.3::)
               without synchronization kind (see *note 9.5::) By_Entry
               or By_Protected_Procedure.

10.a/2
          Reason: The profile of a prefixed view is different than the
          "real" profile of the subprogram (it doesn't have the first
          parameter), so we don't want to be able to take 'Access of it,
          as that would require generating a wrapper of some sort.

10.b/4
          {<AI12-0107-1AI12-0107-1>} We except prefixed views that have
          synchronization kind By_Protected_Procedure so that they can
          be used with an access-to-protected-procedure type.  These
          don't require special wrappers (this is the normal form for a
          protected subprogram call).  The By_Entry part is just for
          consistency (there is no access-to-entry type in Ada).

11
     [The Access attribute is not allowed for Intrinsic subprograms.]

11.a
          Ramification: The Intrinsic calling convention really
          represents any number of calling conventions at the machine
          code level; the compiler might have a different instruction
          sequence for each intrinsic.  That's why the Access attribute
          is disallowed.  We do not wish to require the implementation
          to generate an out of line body for an intrinsic.

11.b/3
          {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} Whenever we wish to disallow the
          Access attribute in order to ease implementation, we make the
          subprogram Intrinsic.  Several language-defined subprograms
          have "with Convention => Intrinsic;".  An implementation might
          actually implement this as "with Import => True, Convention =>
          Intrinsic;", if there is really no body, and the
          implementation of the subprogram is built into the code
          generator.

11.c
          Subprograms declared in protected_bodies will generally have a
          special calling convention so as to pass along the
          identification of the current instance of the protected type.
          The convention is not <protected> since such local subprograms
          need not contain any "locking" logic since they are not
          callable via "external" calls; this rule prevents an access
          value designating such a subprogram from being passed outside
          the protected unit.

11.d
          The "implicitly declared subprogram" above refers to
          predefined operators (other than the "=" of a tagged type) and
          the inherited subprograms of untagged types.

12/4
   * {<AI12-0107-1AI12-0107-1>} {<AI12-0159-1AI12-0159-1>} The default
     calling convention is <protected> for a protected subprogram, for a
     prefixed view of a subprogram with a synchronization kind of
     By_Protected_Procedure, and for an access-to-subprogram type with
     the reserved word protected in its definition.

13/4
   * {<AI12-0107-1AI12-0107-1>} {<AI12-0159-1AI12-0159-1>} The default
     calling convention is <entry> for an entry and for a prefixed view
     of a subprogram with a synchronization kind of By_Entry.

13.1/3
   * {<AI95-00254-01AI95-00254-01>} {<AI95-00409-01AI95-00409-01>}
     {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} The calling convention for an anonymous
     access-to-subprogram parameter or anonymous access-to-subprogram
     result is <protected> if the reserved word protected appears in its
     definition; otherwise, it is the convention of the subprogram that
     contains the parameter.

13.a/2
          Ramification: The calling convention for other anonymous
          access-to-subprogram types is Ada.

13.2/1
   * {<8652/00118652/0011>} {<AI95-00117-01AI95-00117-01>} [If not
     specified above as Intrinsic, the calling convention for any
     inherited or overriding dispatching operation of a tagged type is
     that of the corresponding subprogram of the parent type.]  The
     default calling convention for a new dispatching operation of a
     tagged type is the convention of the type.

13.a.1/1
          Reason: The first rule is officially stated in *note 3.9.2::.
          The second is intended to make interfacing to foreign OOP
          languages easier, by making the default be that the type and
          operations all have the same convention.

14/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} Of these four conventions, only Ada and
Intrinsic are allowed as a <convention_>identifier in the specification
of a Convention aspect.

14.a/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} The names of the
          <protected> and <entry> calling conventions cannot be used in
          the specification of Convention.  Note that protected and
          entry are reserved words.

15/2
{<AI95-00409-01AI95-00409-01>} Two profiles are <type conformant> if
they have the same number of parameters, and both have a result if
either does, and corresponding parameter and result types are the same,
or, for access parameters or access results, corresponding designated
types are the same, or corresponding designated profiles are type
conformant.  

15.a/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00409-01AI95-00409-01>} For anonymous
          access-to-object parameters, the designated types have to be
          the same for type conformance, not the access types, since in
          general each access parameter has its own anonymous access
          type, created when the subprogram is called.  Of course,
          corresponding parameters have to be either both access
          parameters or both not access parameters.

15.b/2
          {<AI95-00409-01AI95-00409-01>} Similarly, for anonymous
          access-to-subprogram parameters, the designated profiles of
          the types, not the types themselves, have to be conformant.

16/3
{<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>} {<AI95-00409-01AI95-00409-01>}
{<AI05-0142-4AI05-0142-4>} Two profiles are <mode conformant> if:

16.1/3
   * {<AI05-0142-4AI05-0142-4>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} they are type
     conformant; and

16.2/3
   * {<AI05-0142-4AI05-0142-4>} corresponding parameters have identical
     modes and both or neither are explicitly aliased parameters; and

16.3/3
   * {<AI05-0207-1AI05-0207-1>} for corresponding access parameters and
     any access result type, the designated subtypes statically match
     and either both or neither are access-to-constant, or the
     designated profiles are subtype conformant.  

17/3
{<AI05-0239-1AI05-0239-1>} Two profiles are <subtype conformant> if they
are mode conformant, corresponding subtypes of the profile statically
match, and the associated calling conventions are the same.  The profile
of a generic formal subprogram is not subtype conformant with any other
profile.  

17.a
          Ramification: 

18/3
{<AI05-0134-1AI05-0134-1>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} Two profiles are
<fully conformant> if they are subtype conformant, if they have
access-to-subprogram results whose designated profiles are fully
conformant, and for corresponding parameters:

18.1/3
   * {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} they have the same names; and

18.2/3
   * {<AI05-0046-1AI05-0046-1>} both or neither have null_exclusions;
     and

18.3/3
   * neither have default_expressions, or they both have
     default_expressions that are fully conformant with one another; and

18.4/3
   * {<AI05-0134-1AI05-0134-1>} for access-to-subprogram parameters, the
     designated profiles are fully conformant.

18.a
          Ramification: Full conformance requires subtype conformance,
          which requires the same calling conventions.  However, the
          calling convention of the declaration and body of a subprogram
          or entry are always the same by definition.

18.b/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0046-1AI05-0046-1>} The part about
          null_exclusions is necessary to prevent controlling parameters
          from having different exclusions, as such a parameter is
          defined to exclude null whether or not an exclusion is given.

18.c/3
          {<AI05-0134-1AI05-0134-1>} The parts about
          access-to-subprogram parameters and results is necessary to
          prevent such types from having different default_expressions
          in the specification and body of a subprogram.  If that was
          allowed, it would be undefined which default_expression was
          used in a call of an access-to-subprogram parameter.

19
Two expressions are <fully conformant> if, [after replacing each use of
an operator with the equivalent function_call:]

20
   * each constituent construct of one corresponds to an instance of the
     same syntactic category in the other, except that an expanded name
     may correspond to a direct_name (or character_literal) or to a
     different expanded name in the other; and

20.1/4
   * {<AI12-0050-1AI12-0050-1>} corresponding defining_identifiers
     occurring within the two expressions are the same; and

21/4
   * {<AI12-0050-1AI12-0050-1>} each direct_name, character_literal, and
     selector_name that is not part of the prefix of an expanded name in
     one denotes the same declaration as the corresponding direct_name,
     character_literal, or selector_name in the other, or they denote
     corresponding declarations occurring within the two expressions;
     and

21.a
          Ramification: Note that it doesn't say "respectively" because
          a direct_name can correspond to a selector_name, and
          vice-versa, by the previous bullet.  This rule allows the
          prefix of an expanded name to be removed, or replaced with a
          different prefix that denotes a renaming of the same entity.
          However, it does not allow a direct_name or selector_name to
          be replaced with one denoting a distinct renaming (except for
          direct_names and selector_names in prefixes of expanded
          names).  Note that calls using operator notation are
          equivalent to calls using prefix notation.

21.b
          Given the following declarations:

21.c
               package A is
                   function F(X : Integer := 1) return Boolean;
               end A;

21.c.1/3
               {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} with A;
               package B is
                   package A_View renames A;
                   function F_View(X : Integer := 9999) return Boolean renames A.F;
               end B;

21.d
               with A, B; use A, B;
               procedure Main is ...

21.e
          Within Main, the expressions "F", "A.F", "B.A_View.F", and
          "A_View.F" are all fully conformant with one another.
          However, "F" and "F_View" are not fully conformant.  If they
          were, it would be bad news, since the two denoted views have
          different default_expressions.

21.f/4
          Discussion: {<AI12-0050-1AI12-0050-1>} We talk about
          defining_identifiers and "corresponding declarations" because
          of the possibility of iterator_specifications occurring within
          the expressions; each iterator_specification is a separate
          declaration, which we need to allow, but we do want to require
          that the defining_identifiers are the same.

21.1/3
   * {<8652/00188652/0018>} {<AI95-00175-01AI95-00175-01>}
     {<AI05-0092-1AI05-0092-1>} each attribute_designator in one is the
     same as the corresponding attribute_designator in the other; and

22
   * each primary that is a literal in one has the same value as the
     corresponding literal in the other.

22.a
          Ramification: The literals may be written differently.

22.b
          Ramification: Note that the above definition makes full
          conformance a transitive relation.

23
Two known_discriminant_parts are <fully conformant> if they have the
same number of discriminants, and discriminants in the same positions
have the same names, statically matching subtypes, and
default_expressions that are fully conformant with one another.  

24
Two discrete_subtype_definitions are <fully conformant> if they are both
subtype_indications or are both ranges, the subtype_marks (if any)
denote the same subtype, and the corresponding simple_expressions of the
ranges (if any) fully conform.

24.a
          Ramification: In the subtype_indication case, any ranges have
          to <be> corresponding; that is, two subtype_indications cannot
          conform unless both or neither has a range.

24.b
          Discussion: This definition is used in *note 9.5.2::, "*note
          9.5.2:: Entries and Accept Statements" for the conformance
          required between the discrete_subtype_definitions of an
          entry_declaration for a family of entries and the
          corresponding entry_index_specification of the entry_body.

24.1/2
{<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} {<AI95-00397-01AI95-00397-01>} The
<prefixed view profile> of a subprogram is the profile obtained by
omitting the first parameter of that subprogram.  There is no prefixed
view profile for a parameterless subprogram.  For the purposes of
defining subtype and mode conformance, the convention of a prefixed view
profile is considered to match that of either an entry or a protected
operation.

24.c/2
          Discussion: This definition is used to define how primitive
          subprograms of interfaces match operations in task and
          protected type definitions (see *note 9.1:: and *note 9.4::).

24.d/2
          Reason: The weird rule about conventions is pretty much
          required for synchronized interfaces to make any sense.  There
          will be wrappers all over the place for interfaces anyway.  Of
          course, this doesn't imply that entries have the same
          convention as protected operations.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

25
An implementation may declare an operator declared in a language-defined
library unit to be intrinsic.

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

25.a
          The rules for full conformance are relaxed -- they are now
          based on the structure of constructs, rather than the sequence
          of lexical elements.  This implies, for example, that "(X, Y:
          T)" conforms fully with "(X: T; Y: T)", and "(X: T)" conforms
          fully with "(X: in T)".

          Corrigendum: Clarified that the default convention is Ada.
          Also clarified that the convention of a primitive operation of
          a tagged type is the same as that of the type.

25.c/2
          {<8652/00188652/0018>} {<AI95-00175-01AI95-00175-01>}

          conform only if they have the same attribute_designator.

25.d/2

          {<AI95-00407-01AI95-00407-01>} Defined the calling convention

25.e/2
          {<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>} Defined the conformance of

25.h/3
          {<AI05-0046-1AI05-0046-1>} Correction: Now require
          null_exclusions to match for full conformance.  While this is
          technically incompatible with Ada 2005 as defined by Amendment
          1, it is a new Ada 2005 feature and it is unlikely that users
          have been intentionally taking advantage of the ability to
          write mismatching exclusions.  In any case, it is easy to fix:
          add a null_exclusion where needed for conformance.

25.i/3
          {<AI05-0134-1AI05-0134-1>} Correction: Now require full
          conformance of anonymous access-to-subprogram parameters and
          results for full conformance.  This is necessary so that there
          is no confusion about the default expression that is used for
          a call.  While this is technically incompatible with Ada 2005
          as defined by Amendment 1, it is a new Ada 2005 feature and it
          is unlikely that users have been intentionally taking
          advantage and writing different default expressions.  In any
          case, it is easy to fix: change any default expressions that
          don't conform so that they do conform.

25.j/3
          {<AI05-0207-1AI05-0207-1>} Correction: Now include the
          presence or absence of constant in access parameters to be
          considered when checking mode conformance.  This is necessary
          to prevent modification of constants.  While this is
          technically incompatible with Ada 2005 as defined by Amendment
          1, it is a new Ada 2005 feature and it is unlikely that users
          have been intentionally taking advantage and writing

          {<AI05-0142-4AI05-0142-4>} Explicitly aliased parameters are

          Corrigendum: We now define that a prefixed view of a
          subprogram with synchronization kind By_Protected_Procedure
          can be used as the prefix of 'Access for an
          access-to-protected type.  We consider this a correction as it
          certainly appears that it ought to work, but in original Ada
          2012 it would have had a convention mismatch.

25.m/4
          {<AI05-0050-1AI05-0050-1>} Corrigendum: We now define how two
          expressions containing quantified expressions can fully
          conform.  This isn't incompatible, as the original Ada 2012
          never allowed such expressions to conform (the declarations in
          each formally being different).  Neither is it an extension as
          one would expect these to conform.

6.3.2 Inline Expansion of Subprograms
-------------------------------------

1
[Subprograms may be expanded in line at the call site.]

<Paragraphs 2 through 4 were moved to *note Annex J::, "*note Annex J::
Obsolescent Features".>

                          _Static Semantics_

5/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} For a callable entity or a generic
subprogram, the following language-defined representation aspect may be
specified:

5.1/3
Inline
               The type of aspect Inline is Boolean.  When aspect Inline
               is True for a callable entity, inline expansion is
               desired for all calls to that entity.  When aspect Inline
               is True for a generic subprogram, inline expansion is
               desired for all calls to all instances of that generic
               subprogram.

5.2/3
               If directly specified, the aspect_definition shall be a
               static expression.  [This aspect is never inherited;] if
               not directly specified, the aspect is False.

5.a/3
          Aspect Description for Inline: For efficiency, Inline calls
          are requested for a subprogram.

5.e/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} The meaning of a
          subprogram can be changed by inline expansion as requested by
          aspect Inline only in the presence of failing checks (see
          *note 11.6::).

                     _Implementation Permissions_

6/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} For each call, an implementation is free to
follow or to ignore the recommendation determined by the Inline aspect.

6.a
          Ramification: Note, in particular, that the recommendation
          cannot always be followed for a recursive call, and is often
          infeasible for entries.  Note also that the implementation can
          inline calls even when no such desire was expressed via the
          Inline aspect, so long as the semantics of the program remains
          unchanged.

6.4 Subprogram Calls
====================

1
A <subprogram call> is either a procedure_call_statement or a
function_call; [it invokes the execution of the subprogram_body.  The
call specifies the association of the actual parameters, if any, with
formal parameters of the subprogram.]

                               _Syntax_

2
     procedure_call_statement ::=
         <procedure_>name;
       | <procedure_>prefix actual_parameter_part;

3
     function_call ::=
         <function_>name
       | <function_>prefix actual_parameter_part

3.a/3
          To be honest: {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} For the purpose of
          non-syntax rules, infix operator calls are considered
          function_calls.  See *note 6.6::.

4
     actual_parameter_part ::=
         (parameter_association {, parameter_association})

5
     parameter_association ::=
        [<formal_parameter_>selector_name =>] explicit_actual_parameter

6
     explicit_actual_parameter ::= expression | <variable_>name

7
     A parameter_association is <named> or <positional> according to
     whether or not the <formal_parameter_>selector_name (*note 4.1.3:
     S0099.) is specified.  Any positional associations shall precede
     any named associations.  Named associations are not allowed if the
     prefix in a subprogram call is an attribute_reference (*note 4.1.4:
     S0100.).

7.a
          Ramification: This means that the formal parameter names used
          in describing predefined attributes are to aid presentation of
          their semantics, but are not intended for use in actual calls.

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

8/2
{<AI95-00310-01AI95-00310-01>} The name or prefix given in a
procedure_call_statement shall resolve to denote a callable entity that
is a procedure, or an entry renamed as (viewed as) a procedure.  The
name or prefix given in a function_call shall resolve to denote a
callable entity that is a function.  The name or prefix shall not
resolve to denote an abstract subprogram unless it is also a dispatching
subprogram.  [When there is an actual_parameter_part (*note 6.4:
S0180.), the prefix can be an implicit_dereference (*note 4.1: S0095.)
of an access-to-subprogram value.]

8.a.1/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00310-01AI95-00310-01>} This rule is
          talking about dispatching operations (which is a static
          concept) and not about dispatching calls (which is a dynamic
          concept).

8.a
          Ramification: The function can be an operator, enumeration
          literal, attribute that is a function, etc.

9
A subprogram call shall contain at most one association for each formal
parameter.  Each formal parameter without an association shall have a
default_expression (in the profile of the view denoted by the name or
prefix).  [This rule is an overloading rule (see *note 8.6::).]

9.a/3
          Proof: {<AI05-0240-1AI05-0240-1>} All Name Resolution Rules
          are overloading rules, see *note 8.6::.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

10/2
{<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} For the execution of a subprogram call,
the name or prefix of the call is evaluated, and each
parameter_association (*note 6.4: S0181.) is evaluated (see *note
6.4.1::).  If a default_expression (*note 3.7: S0063.) is used, an
implicit parameter_association (*note 6.4: S0181.) is assumed for this
rule.  These evaluations are done in an arbitrary order.  The
subprogram_body (*note 6.3: S0177.) is then executed, or a call on an
entry or protected subprogram is performed (see *note 3.9.2::).
Finally, if the subprogram completes normally, then after it is left,
any necessary assigning back of formal to actual parameters occurs (see
*note 6.4.1::).

10.a
          Discussion: The implicit association for a default is only for
          this run-time rule.  At compile time, the visibility rules are
          applied to the default at the place where it occurs, not at
          the place of a call.

10.b
          To be honest: If the subprogram is inherited, see *note 3.4::,
          "*note 3.4:: Derived Types and Classes".

10.c
          If the subprogram is protected, see *note 9.5.1::, "*note
          9.5.1:: Protected Subprograms and Protected Actions".

10.d
          If the subprogram is really a renaming of an entry, see *note
          9.5.3::, "*note 9.5.3:: Entry Calls".

10.d.1/2
          {<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} If the subprogram is
          implemented by an entry or protected subprogram, it will be
          treated as a dispatching call to the corresponding entry (see
          *note 9.5.3::, "*note 9.5.3:: Entry Calls") or protected
          subprogram (see *note 9.5.1::, "*note 9.5.1:: Protected
          Subprograms and Protected Actions").

10.e/2
          {<AI95-00348-01AI95-00348-01>} Normally, the subprogram_body
          that is executed by the above rule is the one for the
          subprogram being called.  For an enumeration literal,
          implicitly declared (but noninherited) subprogram, null
          procedure, or an attribute that is a subprogram, an implicit
          body is assumed.  For a dispatching call, *note 3.9.2::,
          "*note 3.9.2:: Dispatching Operations of Tagged Types" defines
          which subprogram_body is executed.

10.1/2
{<AI95-00407-01AI95-00407-01>} If the name or prefix of a subprogram
call denotes a prefixed view (see *note 4.1.3::), the subprogram call is
equivalent to a call on the underlying subprogram, with the first actual
parameter being provided by the prefix of the prefixed view (or the
Access attribute of this prefix if the first formal parameter is an
access parameter), and the remaining actual parameters given by the
actual_parameter_part, if any.

11/2
{<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>} The exception Program_Error is raised at
the point of a function_call if the function completes normally without
executing a return statement.

11.a
          Discussion: We are committing to raising the exception at the
          point of call, for uniformity -- see AI83-00152.  This happens
          after the function is left, of course.

11.b
          Note that there is no name for suppressing this check, since
          the check imposes no time overhead and minimal space overhead
          (since it can usually be statically eliminated as dead code).

12/2
{<AI95-00231-01AI95-00231-01>} A function_call denotes a constant, as
defined in *note 6.5::; the nominal subtype of the constant is given by
the nominal subtype of the function result.

     NOTES

24
     9  If a default_expression is used for two or more parameters in a
     multiple parameter_specification (*note 6.1: S0175.), the
     default_expression (*note 3.7: S0063.) is evaluated once for each
     omitted parameter.  Hence in the above examples, the two calls of
     Pair are equivalent.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

31.a
          We have gotten rid of parameters "of the form of a type
          conversion" (see RM83-6.4.1(3)).  The new view semantics of
          type_conversions allows us to use normal type_conversions
          instead.

31.b
          We have moved wording about run-time semantics of parameter
          associations to *note 6.4.1::.

31.c
          We have moved wording about raising Program_Error for a
          function that falls off the end to here from RM83-6.5.

                        _Extensions to Ada 95_

31.d/2
          {<AI95-00310-01AI95-00310-01>} Nondispatching abstract
          operations are no longer considered when resolving a
          subprogram call.  That makes it possible to use abstract to
          "undefine" a predefined operation for an untagged type.
          That's especially helpful when defining custom arithmetic
          packages.

31.e/2
          {<AI95-00231-01AI95-00231-01>} Changed the definition of the
          nominal subtype of a function_call to use the nominal subtype
          wording of *note 6.1::, to take into account null_exclusions
          and access result types.

31.f/2
          {<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} Added wording to clarify that
          the meaning of a call on a subprogram "implemented by" an
          entry or protected operation is defined by *note 3.9.2::.

31.g/2
          {<AI95-00407-01AI95-00407-01>} Defined the meaning of a call

* 6.4.1 ::    Parameter Associations


File: aarm2012.info,  Node: 6.4.1,  Up: 6.4

6.4.1 Parameter Associations
----------------------------

1
[ A parameter association defines the association between an actual
parameter and a formal parameter.]

                     _Language Design Principles_

1.a
          The parameter passing rules for out parameters are designed to
          ensure that the parts of a type that have implicit initial
          values (see *note 3.3.1::) don't become "de-initialized" by
          being passed as an out parameter.

1.b/3
          {<AI05-0142-4AI05-0142-4>} For explicitly aliased parameters
          of functions, we will ensure at the call site that a part of
          the parameter can be returned as part of the function result
          without creating a dangling pointer.  We do this with
          accessibility checks at the call site that all actual objects
          of explicitly aliased parameters live at least as long as the
          function result; then we can allow them to be returned as
          access discriminants or anonymous access results, as those
          have the master of the function result.

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

2/3
{<AI05-0118-1AI05-0118-1>} The <formal_parameter_>selector_name of a
named parameter_association (*note 6.4: S0181.) shall resolve to denote
a parameter_specification (*note 6.1: S0175.) of the view being called; 
this is the formal parameter of the association.  The formal parameter
for a positional parameter_association (*note 6.4: S0181.) is the
parameter with the corresponding position in the formal part of the view
being called.

2.a/3
          To be honest: {<AI05-0118-1AI05-0118-1>} For positional
          parameters, the "corresponding position" is calculated after
          any transformation of prefixed views.

3
The <actual parameter> is either the explicit_actual_parameter given in
a parameter_association for a given formal parameter, or the
corresponding default_expression if no parameter_association is given
for the formal parameter.  The expected type for an actual parameter is
the type of the corresponding formal parameter.

3.a
          To be honest: The corresponding default_expression is the one
          of the corresponding formal parameter in the profile of the
          view denoted by the name or prefix of the call.

4
If the mode is in, the actual is interpreted as an expression;
otherwise, the actual is interpreted only as a name, if possible.

4.a/4
          Ramification: {<AI12-0005-1AI12-0005-1>} This formally
          resolves the ambiguity present in the syntax rule for
          explicit_actual_parameter.  This matters as an expression that
          is a name is evaluated and represents a value while a name by
          itself can be an object; if the mode is not in, we want the
          parameter to interpreted as an object.  Note that we don't
          actually require that the actual be a name if the mode is not
          in; we do that below.

4.b/4
          {<AI12-0005-1AI12-0005-1>} This wording uses "interpreted as"
          rather than "shall be" so that this rule is not used to
          resolve overloading; it is solely about evaluation as
          described above.  We definitely do not want to allow oddities
          like the presence of parentheses requiring the selection of an
          in formal parameter as opposed to an otherwise matching in out
          parameter.

                           _Legality Rules_

5
If the mode is in out or out, the actual shall be a name that denotes a
variable.

5.a
          Discussion: We no longer need "or a type_conversion whose
          argument is the name of a variable," because a type_conversion
          is now a name, and a type_conversion of a variable is a
          variable.

5.b
          Reason: The requirement that the actual be a (variable) name
          is not an overload resolution rule, since we don't want the
          difference between expression and name to be used to resolve
          overloading.  For example:

5.c
               procedure Print(X : in Integer; Y : in Boolean := True);
               procedure Print(Z : in out Integer);
               . . .
               Print(3); --< Ambiguous!>
  

5.d
          The above call to Print is ambiguous even though the call is
          not compatible with the second Print which requires an actual
          that is a (variable) name ("3" is an expression, not a name).
          This requirement is a legality rule, so overload resolution
          fails before it is considered, meaning that the call is
          ambiguous.

5.1/4
{<AI12-0074-1AI12-0074-1>} {<AI12-0159-1AI12-0159-1>} If the mode is
out, the actual parameter is a view conversion, and the type of the
formal parameter is an access type or a scalar type that has the
Default_Value aspect specified, then

5.2/4
   * there shall exist a type (other than a root numeric type) that is
     an ancestor of both the target type and the operand type; and

5.3/4
   * in the case of a scalar type, the type of the operand of the
     conversion shall have the Default_Value aspect specified.

5.4/4
{<AI12-0074-1AI12-0074-1>} {<AI12-0159-1AI12-0159-1>} In addition to the
places where Legality Rules normally apply (see *note 12.3::), these
rules also apply in the private part of an instance of a generic unit.

5.e/4
          Reason: These rules are needed in order to ensure that a
          well-defined parameter value is passed.

6/3
{<AI05-0102-1AI05-0102-1>} {<AI05-0142-4AI05-0142-4>} If the formal
parameter is an explicitly aliased parameter, the type of the actual
parameter shall be tagged or the actual parameter shall be an aliased
view of an object.  Further, if the formal parameter subtype <F> is
untagged:

6.1/3
   * the subtype <F> shall statically match the nominal subtype of the
     actual object; or

6.2/3
   * the subtype <F> shall be unconstrained, discriminated in its full
     view, and unconstrained in any partial view.

6.a/3
          Ramification: Tagged objects (and tagged aggregates for in
          parameters) do not need to be aliased.  This matches the
          behavior of unaliased formal parameters of tagged types, which
          allow 'Access to be taken of the formal parameter regardless
          of the form of the actual parameter.

6.b/3
          Reason: We need the subtype check on untagged actual
          parameters so that the requirements of 'Access are not lost.
          'Access makes its checks against the nominal subtype of its
          prefix, and parameter passing can change that subtype.  But we
          don't want this parameter passing to change the objects that
          would be allowed as the prefix of 'Access.  This is
          particularly important for arrays, where we don't want to
          require any additional implementation burden.

6.b.1/4
          Discussion: {<AI12-0095-1AI12-0095-1>} We assume the worst in
          a generic body whether or not a formal subtype has a
          constrained partial view; specifically, in a generic body a
          discriminated subtype is considered to have a constrained
          partial view if it is a descendant of an untagged generic
          formal private or derived type (see *note 12.5.1:: for the
          formal definition of this rule).

6.3/4
{<AI12-0095-1AI12-0095-1>} In addition to the places where Legality
Rules normally apply (see *note 12.3::), these rules also apply in the
private part of an instance of a generic unit.

6.4/3
{<AI05-0142-4AI05-0142-4>} {<AI05-0234-1AI05-0234-1>} In a function
call, the accessibility level of the actual object for each explicitly
aliased parameter shall not be statically deeper than the accessibility
level of the master of the call (see *note 3.10.2::).

6.c/3
          Discussion: Since explicitly aliased parameters are either
          tagged or required to be objects, there is always an object
          (possibly anonymous) to talk about.  This is discussing the
          static accessibility level of the actual object; it does not
          depend on any runtime information (for instance when the
          actual object is a formal parameter of another subprogram, it
          does not depend on the actual parameter of that other
          subprogram).

6.d/4
          Ramification: {<AI12-0095-1AI12-0095-1>} This accessibility
          check (and its dynamic cousin as well) can only fail if the
          master of the function call (which is defined in the Heart of
          Darkness, or *note 3.10.2:: if you prefer) is different than
          the master directly enclosing the call.  The most likely place
          where this will occur is in the initializer of an allocator;
          in almost all other cases this check will always pass.

6.5/3
{<AI05-0144-2AI05-0144-2>} Two names are <known to denote the same
object> if:

6.6/3
   * both names statically denote the same stand-alone object or
     parameter; or

6.7/3
   * both names are selected_components, their prefixes are known to
     denote the same object, and their selector_names denote the same
     component; or

6.8/3
   * both names are dereferences (implicit or explicit) and the
     dereferenced names are known to denote the same object; or

6.9/3
   * both names are indexed_components, their prefixes are known to
     denote the same object, and each of the pairs of corresponding
     index values are either both static expressions with the same
     static value or both names that are known to denote the same
     object; or

6.10/3
   * both names are slices, their prefixes are known to denote the same
     object, and the two slices have statically matching index
     constraints; or

6.11/3
   * one of the two names statically denotes a renaming declaration
     whose renamed <object_>name is known to denote the same object as
     the other, the prefix of any dereference within the renamed
     <object_>name is not a variable, and any expression within the
     renamed <object_>name contains no references to variables nor calls
     on nonstatic functions.

6.e/3
          Reason: This exposes known renamings of slices, indexing, and
          so on to this definition.  In particular, if we have

6.f/3
               C : Character renames S(1);

6.g/3
          then C and S(1) are known to denote the same object.

6.h/3
          We need the requirement that no variables occur in the
          prefixes of dereferences and in (index) expressions of the
          renamed object in order to avoid problems from later changes
          to those parts of renamed names.  Consider:

6.i/3
                  type Ref is access Some_Type;
                  Ptr : Ref := new Some_Type'(...);
                  X : Some_Type renames Ptr.all;
               begin
                  Ptr := new Some_Type'(...);
                  P (Func_With_Out_Params (Ptr.all), X);

6.j/3
          X and Ptr.all should not be known to denote the same object,
          since they denote different allocated objects (and this is not
          an unreasonable thing to do).

6.k/3
          To be honest: The exclusion of variables from renamed
          object_names is not enough to prevent altering the value of
          the name or expression by another access path.  For instance,
          both in parameters passed by reference and access-to-constant
          values can designate variables.  For the intended use of
          "known to be the same object", this is OK; the modification
          via another access path is very tricky and it is OK to reject
          code that would be buggy except for the tricky code.  Assuming
          Element is an elementary type, consider the following example:

6.l/3
               Global : Tagged_Type;

6.m/3
               procedure Foo (Param : in Tagged_Type := Global) is
                  X : Element renames Some_Global_Array (Param.C);
               begin
                  Global.C := Global.C + 1;
                  Swap (X, Some_Global_Array (Param.C));

6.n/3
          The rules will flag the call of procedure Swap as illegal,
          since X and Some_Global_Array (Parameter.C) are known to
          denote the same object (even though they will actually
          represent different objects if Param = Global).  But this is
          only incorrect if the parameter actually is Global and not
          some other value; the error could exist for some calls.  So
          this flagging seems harmless.

6.o/3
          Similar examples can be constructed using stand-alone
          composite constants with controlled or immutably limited
          components, and (as previously noted) with dereferences of
          access-to-constant values.  Even when these examples flag a
          call incorrectly, that call depends on very tricky code
          (modifying the value of a constant); the code is likely to
          confuse future maintainers as well and thus we do not mind
          rejecting it.

6.p/3
          Discussion: Whether or not names or prefixes are known to
          denote the same object is determined statically.  If the name
          contains some dynamic portion other than a dereference,
          indexed_component, or slice, it is not "known to denote the
          same object".

6.q/3
          These rules make no attempt to handle slices of objects that
          are known to be the same when the slices have dynamic bounds
          (other than the trivial case of bounds being defined by the
          same subtype), even when the bounds could be proven to be the
          same, as it is just too complex to get right and these rules
          are intended to be conservative.

6.r/3
          Ramification: "Known to denote the same object" is intended to
          be an equivalence relationship, that is, it is reflexive,
          symmetric, and transitive.  We believe this follows from the
          rules.  For instance, given the following declarations:

6.s/3
               S   : String(1..10);
               ONE : constant Natural := 1;
               R   : Character renames S(1);

6.t/3
          the names R and S(1) are known to denote the same object by
          the sixth bullet, and S(1) and S(ONE) are known to denote the
          same object by the fourth bullet, so using the sixth bullet on
          R and S(ONE), we simply have to test S(1) vs.  S(ONE), which
          we already know denote the same object.

6.12/3
{<AI05-0144-2AI05-0144-2>} Two names are <known to refer to the same
object> if 

6.13/3
   * The two names are known to denote the same object; or

   * One of the names is a selected_component, indexed_component, or
     slice and its prefix is known to refer to the same object as the
     other name; or

6.15/3
   * One of the two names statically denotes a renaming declaration
     whose renamed <object_>name is known to refer to the same object as
     the other name.

6.u/3
          Reason: This ensures that names Prefix.Comp and Prefix are
          known to refer to the same object for the purposes of the
          rules below.  This intentionally does not include
          dereferences; we only want to worry about accesses to the same
          object, and a dereference changes the object in question.
          (There is nothing shared between an access value and the
          object it designates.)

6.16/3
{<AI05-0144-2AI05-0144-2>} If a call <C> has two or more parameters of
mode in out or out that are of an elementary type, then the call is
legal only if:

6.17/3
   * For each name <N> that is passed as a parameter of mode in out or
     out to the call <C>, there is no other name among the other
     parameters of mode in out or out to <C> that is known to denote the
     same object.

6.v/3
          To be honest: This means <visibly> an elementary type; it does
          not include partial views of elementary types (partial views
          are always composite).  That's necessary to avoid having
          Legality Rules depend on the contents of the private part.

6.18/3
{<AI05-0144-2AI05-0144-2>} If a construct <C> has two or more direct
constituents that are names or expressions whose evaluation may occur in
an arbitrary order, at least one of which contains a function call with
an in out or out parameter, then the construct is legal only if:

6.w/3
          Ramification: All of the places where the language allows an
          arbitrary order can be found by looking in the index under
          "arbitrary order, allowed".  Note that this listing includes
          places that don't involve names or expressions (such as checks
          or finalization).

6.19/3
   * For each name <N> that is passed as a parameter of mode in out or
     out to some inner function call <C2> (not including the construct
     <C> itself), there is no other name anywhere within a direct
     constituent of the construct <C> other than the one containing
     <C2>, that is known to refer to the same object.

6.x/3
          Ramification: This requirement cannot fail for a procedure or
          entry call alone; there must be at least one function with an
          in out or out parameter called as part of a parameter
          expression of the call in order for it to fail.

6.y/3
          Reason: These rules prevent obvious cases of dependence on the
          order of evaluation of names or expressions.  Such dependence
          is usually a bug, and in any case, is not portable to another
          implementation (or even another optimization setting).

6.z/3
          In the case that the top-level construct C is a call, these
          rules do not require checks for most in out parameters, as the
          rules about evaluation of calls prevent problems.  Similarly,
          we do not need checks for short circuit operations or other
          operations with a defined order of evaluation.  The rules
          about arbitrary order (see *note 1.1.4::) allow evaluating
          parameters and writing parameters back in an arbitrary order,
          but not interleaving of evaluating parameters of one call with
          writing parameters back from another -- that would not
          correspond to any allowed sequential order.

6.20/3
{<AI05-0144-2AI05-0144-2>} For the purposes of checking this rule:

6.21/3
   * For an array aggregate, an expression associated with a
     discrete_choice_list that has two or more discrete choices, or that
     has a nonstatic range, is considered as two or more separate
     occurrences of the expression;

6.22/3
   * For a record aggregate:

6.23/3
             * The expression of a record_component_association is
               considered to occur once for each associated component;
               and

6.24/3
             * The default_expression for each
               record_component_association with <> for which the
               associated component has a default_expression is
               considered part of the aggregate;

6.25/3
   * For a call, any default_expression evaluated as part of the call is
     considered part of the call.

6.aa/3
          Ramification: We do not check expressions that are evaluated
          only because of a component initialized by default in an
          aggregate (via <>).

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

7
For the evaluation of a parameter_association:

8
   * The actual parameter is first evaluated.

9
   * For an access parameter, the access_definition is elaborated, which
     creates the anonymous access type.

10
   * For a parameter [(of any mode)] that is passed by reference (see
     *note 6.2::), a view conversion of the actual parameter to the
     nominal subtype of the formal parameter is evaluated, and the
     formal parameter denotes that conversion.  

10.a
          Discussion: We are always allowing sliding, even for [in] out
          by-reference parameters.

11
   * For an in or in out parameter that is passed by copy (see *note
     6.2::), the formal parameter object is created, and the value of
     the actual parameter is converted to the nominal subtype of the
     formal parameter and assigned to the formal.  

11.a
          Ramification: The conversion mentioned here is a value
          conversion.

12
   * For an out parameter that is passed by copy, the formal parameter
     object is created, and:

13/3
        * {<AI05-0153-3AI05-0153-3>} {<AI05-0196-1AI05-0196-1>} For an
          access type, the formal parameter is initialized from the
          value of the actual, without checking that the value satisfies
          any constraint, any predicate, or any exclusion of the null
          value;

13.a
          Reason: This preserves the Language Design Principle that an
          object of an access type is always initialized with a
          "reasonable" value.

13.1/4
        * {<AI05-0153-3AI05-0153-3>} {<AI05-0228-1AI05-0228-1>}
          {<AI12-0074-1AI12-0074-1>} {<AI12-0159-1AI12-0159-1>} For a
          scalar type that has the Default_Value aspect specified, the
          formal parameter is initialized from the value of the actual,
          without checking that the value satisfies any constraint or
          any predicate.  Furthermore, if the actual parameter is a view
          conversion and either

13.2/4
             * {<AI12-0074-1AI12-0074-1>} there exists no type (other
               than a root numeric type) that is an ancestor of both the
               target type and the type of the operand of the
               conversion; or

13.3/4
             * {<AI12-0074-1AI12-0074-1>} the Default_Value aspect is
               unspecified for the type of the operand of the conversion

13.4/4
          {<AI12-0074-1AI12-0074-1>} then Program_Error is raised;

13.b/3
          Reason: This preserves the Language Design Principle that all
          objects of a type with an implicit initial value are
          initialized.  This is important so that a programmer can
          guarantee that all objects of a scalar type have a valid value
          with a carefully chosen Default_Value.

13.c/3
          Implementation Note: This rule means that out parameters of a
          subtype <T> with a specified Default_Value need to be large
          enough to support any possible value of the base type of <T>.
          In contrast, a type that does not have a Default_Value only
          need support the size of the subtype (since no values are
          passed in).

13.d/4
          Discussion: The Program_Error case can only occur in the body
          of an instance of a generic unit.  Legality Rules will catch
          all other cases.  Implementations that macro-expand generics
          can always detect this case when the enclosing instance body
          is expanded.

14
        * For a composite type with discriminants or that has implicit
          initial values for any subcomponents (see *note 3.3.1::), the
          behavior is as for an in out parameter passed by copy.

14.a
          Reason: This ensures that no part of an object of such a type
          can become "de-initialized" by being part of an out parameter.

14.b
          Ramification: This includes an array type whose component type
          is an access type, and a record type with a component that has
          a default_expression, among other things.

15
        * For any other type, the formal parameter is uninitialized.  If
          composite, a view conversion of the actual parameter to the
          nominal subtype of the formal is evaluated [(which might raise
          Constraint_Error)], and the actual subtype of the formal is
          that of the view conversion.  If elementary, the actual
          subtype of the formal is given by its nominal subtype.

15.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0228-1AI05-0228-1>} This case covers
          scalar types that do not have Default_Value specified, and
          composite types whose subcomponent's subtypes do not have any
          implicit initial values.  The view conversion for composite
          types ensures that if the lengths don't match between an
          actual and a formal array parameter, the Constraint_Error is
          raised before the call, rather than after.

15.1/3
   * {<AI05-0142-4AI05-0142-4>} {<AI05-0234-1AI05-0234-1>} In a function
     call, for each explicitly aliased parameter, a check is made that
     the accessibility level of the master of the actual object is not
     deeper than that of the master of the call (see *note 3.10.2::).

15.a.1/3
          Ramification: If the actual object to a call <C> is a formal
          parameter of some function call <F>, no dynamic check against
          the master of the actual parameter of <F> is necessary.  Any
          case which could fail the dynamic check is already statically
          illegal (either at the call site of <F>, or at the call site
          <C>).  This is important, as it would require nasty
          distributed overhead to accurately know the dynamic
          accessibility of a formal parameter (all tagged and explicitly
          aliased parameters would have to carry accessibility levels).

16
A formal parameter of mode in out or out with discriminants is
constrained if either its nominal subtype or the actual parameter is
constrained.

17
After normal completion and leaving of a subprogram, for each in out or
out parameter that is passed by copy, the value of the formal parameter
is converted to the subtype of the variable given as the actual
parameter and assigned to it.  These conversions and assignments occur
in an arbitrary order.

17.a
          Ramification: The conversions mentioned above during parameter
          passing might raise Constraint_Error -- (see *note 4.6::).

17.b
          Ramification: If any conversion or assignment as part of
          parameter passing propagates an exception, the exception is
          raised at the place of the subprogram call; that is, it cannot
          be handled inside the subprogram_body.

17.c
          Proof: Since these checks happen before or after executing the
          subprogram_body, the execution of the subprogram_body does not
          dynamically enclose them, so it can't handle the exceptions.

17.d
          Discussion: The variable we're talking about is the one
          denoted by the <variable_>name given as the
          explicit_actual_parameter.  If this <variable_>name is a
          type_conversion, then the rules in *note 4.6:: for assigning
          to a view conversion apply.  That is, if X is of subtype S1,
          and the actual is S2(X), the above-mentioned conversion will
          convert to S2, and the one mentioned in *note 4.6:: will
          convert to S1.

                         _Erroneous Execution_

18/3
{<AI05-0008-1AI05-0008-1>} If the nominal subtype of a formal parameter
with discriminants is constrained or indefinite, and the parameter is
passed by reference, then the execution of the call is erroneous if the
value of any discriminant of the actual is changed while the formal
parameter exists (that is, before leaving the corresponding callable
construct).

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

18.a
          In Ada 95, a program can rely on the fact that passing an
          object as an out parameter does not "de-initialize" any parts
          of the object whose subtypes have implicit initial values.
          (This generalizes the RM83 rule that required copy-in for
          parts that were discriminants or of an access type.)

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

18.b/3
          {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} We have eliminated the subclause on
          Default Parameters, as it is subsumed by earlier subclauses.

                    _Inconsistencies With Ada 2005_

18.c/3
          {<AI05-0196-1AI05-0196-1>} Correction: Clarified that out
          parameters of an access type are not checked for null
          exclusions when they are passed in (which is similar to the
          behavior for constraints).  This was unspecified in Ada 2005,
          so a program which depends on the behavior of an
          implementation which does check the exclusion may malfunction.
          But a program depending on an exception being raised is
          unlikely.

                   _Incompatibilities With Ada 2005_

18.d/3
          {<AI05-0144-2AI05-0144-2>} Additional rules have been added to
          make illegal passing the same elementary object to more than
          one in out or out parameters of the same call.  In this case,
          the result in the object could depend on the compiler version,
          optimization settings, and potentially the phase of the moon,
          so this check will mostly reject programs that are nonportable
          and could fail with any change.  Even when the result is
          expected to be the same in both parameters, the code is
          unnecessarily tricky.  Programs which fail this new check
          should be rare and are easily fixed by adding a temporary
          object.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

18.e/3
          {<AI05-0008-1AI05-0008-1>} Correction: A missing rule was
          added to cover cases that were missed in Ada 95 and Ada 2005;
          specifically, that an in parameter passed by reference might
          have its discriminants changed via another path.  Such cases
          are erroneous as requiring compilers to detect such errors
          would be expensive, and requiring such cases to work would be
          a major change of the user model (in parameters with
          discriminants could no longer be assumed constant).  This is
          not an inconsistency, as compilers are not required to change
          any current behavior.

18.f/3
          {<AI05-0102-1AI05-0102-1>} Correction: Moved implicit
          conversion Legality Rule to *note 8.6::.

18.g/3
          {<AI05-0118-1AI05-0118-1>} Correction: Added a definition for
          positional parameters, as this is missing from Ada 95 and
          later.

18.h/3
          {<AI05-0142-4AI05-0142-4>} Rules have been added defining the
          legality and dynamic checks needed for explicitly aliased
          parameters (see *note 6.1::).

18.i/3
          {<AI05-0144-2AI05-0144-2>} Additional rules have been added
          such that passing an object to an in out or out parameter of a
          function is illegal if it is used elsewhere in a construct
          which allows evaluation in an arbitrary order.  Such calls are
          not portable (since the results may depend on the evaluation
          order), and the results could even vary because of
          optimization settings and the like.  Thus they've been banned.

                   _Incompatibilities With Ada 2012_

18.j/4
          {<AI12-0074-1AI12-0074-1>} {<AI12-0159-1AI12-0159-1>}
          Corrigendum: Added rules to ensure that the value passed into
          a out parameter for elementary types is well-defined in the
          case of a view conversion.  The new rules can be incompatible.
          For a view conversion to an unrelated type with the
          Default_Value aspect specified, the aspect is new in Ada 2012
          so it should be unlikely to occur in existing code.  For a
          view conversion to an unrelated access type, the
          incompatibility is possible as this could be written in Ada
          95, but such a view conversion is thought to be rare.  In both
          cases, declaring and passing a temporary rather than a view
          conversion will eliminate the problem.

18.k/4
          {<AI12-0095-1AI12-0095-1>} Corrigendum: Because of a rule
          added in *note 12.5.1::, the checks for the passing of an
          object to an explicitly aliased parameter in a generic body
          were strengthened to use an assume the worst rule.  This case
          is rather unlikely as a formal private or derived type with
          discriminants is required along with an explicitly aliased
          parameter whose type doesn't statically match the formal type.
          Such a program is very unlikely, especially as explicitly
          aliased parameters are a new Ada 2012 feature.

3/2
{<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>} The <result subtype> of a function is the
subtype denoted by the subtype_mark, or defined by the
access_definition, after the reserved word return in the profile of the
function.  The expected type for the expression, if any, of a
simple_return_statement (*note 6.5: S0183.) is the result type of the
corresponding function.  The expected type for the expression of an
extended_return_statement is that of the return_subtype_indication
(*note 6.5: S0187.).

3.a
          To be honest: The same applies to generic functions.

                           _Legality Rules_

4/2
{<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>} A return statement shall be within a
callable construct, and it <applies to> the innermost callable construct
or extended_return_statement that contains it.  A return statement shall
not be within a body that is within the construct to which the return
statement applies.

4.a/4
          To be honest: {<AI12-0089-1AI12-0089-1>} The above also
          applies to generic subprograms, even though they are not
          callable constructs.  (An instance of a generic subprogram is
          a callable construct, but not a generic subprogram itself.)

5/3
{<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>} {<AI05-0015-1AI05-0015-1>} A function
body shall contain at least one return statement that applies to the
function body, unless the function contains code_statements.  A
simple_return_statement (*note 6.5: S0183.) shall include an expression
if and only if it applies to a function body.  An
extended_return_statement shall apply to a function body.  An
extended_return_statement with the reserved word constant shall include
an expression.

5.a/4
          Reason: {<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>}
          {<AI12-0022-1AI12-0022-1>} The requirement that a function
          body has to have at least one return statement is a "helpful"
          restriction.  There has been some interest in lifting this
          restriction, or allowing a raise statement to substitute for
          the return statement.  However, there was enough interest in
          leaving it as is that we decided not to change it.  Note that
          for Ada 2012, Corrigendum 1, a return statement whose
          expression is a raise_expression can be given in <any>
          function body (the raise_expression will match any type), so
          there is much less need to eliminate this rule.

5.b/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>} A return
          statement can apply to an extended_return_statement, so a
          simple_return_statement (*note 6.5: S0183.) without an
          expression can be given in one.  However, neither
          simple_return_statement (*note 6.5: S0183.) with an expression
          nor an extended_return_statement can be given inside an
          extended_return_statement, as they must apply (directly) to a
          function body.

5.b.1/4
          {<AI12-0089-1AI12-0089-1>} Since a "function body" includes a
          generic function body, this rule and all of the following
          Legality Rules apply to generic function bodies as well as
          non-generic function bodies.  This is true even though a
          generic function is not a function.

5.1/2
{<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>} For an extended_return_statement (*note

     {<AI05-0103-1AI05-0103-1>} If the result subtype of the function is
     defined by a subtype_mark, the return_subtype_indication (*note
     6.5: S0187.) shall be a subtype_indication.  The type of the
     subtype_indication shall be covered by the result type of the
     function.  The subtype defined by the subtype_indication shall be
     statically compatible with the result subtype of the function; if
     the result type of the function is elementary, the two subtypes
     shall statically match.  If the result subtype of the function is
     indefinite, then the subtype defined by the subtype_indication
     shall be a definite subtype, or there shall be an expression.

5.3/2
   * {<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>} If the result subtype of the
     function is defined by an access_definition, the
     return_subtype_indication (*note 6.5: S0187.) shall be an
     access_definition.  The subtype defined by the access_definition
     shall statically match the result subtype of the function.  [The
     accessibility level of this anonymous access subtype is that of the
     result subtype.]

5.b.2/4
          Proof: {<AI12-0070-1AI12-0070-1>} The accessibility of such
          anonymous access types is defined in the Heart of Darkness
          (aka *note 3.10.2::).

5.4/3
   * {<AI05-0032-1AI05-0032-1>} If the result subtype of the function is
     class-wide, the accessibility level of the type of the subtype
     defined by the return_subtype_indication shall not be statically
     deeper than that of the master that elaborated the function body.

5.b.3/3
          Reason: In this case, the return_subtype_indication could be a
          specific type initialized by default; in that case there is no

          {<AI05-0051-1AI05-0051-1>} {<AI12-0005-1AI12-0005-1>} If the
          result type is class-wide, then there must be an expression of
          the return statement unless this is an
          extended_return_statement whose return_subtype_indication is a
          specific type.  We have a separate rule to cover that case.
          Note that if an extended_return_statement has an expression,
          then both this rule and the next one must be satisfied.

5.8/3
   * {<AI05-0051-1AI05-0051-1>} If the subtype determined by the
     expression of the simple_return_statement or by the
     return_subtype_indication has one or more access discriminants, the
     accessibility level of the anonymous access type of each access
     discriminant shall not be statically deeper than that of the master
     that elaborated the function body.

5.d.1/3
          Discussion: We use the type used by the return statement
          rather than from the function return type since we want to
          check whenever the return object has access discriminants,
          even if the function return type doesn't have any (mostly for
          a class-wide type).

5.9/3

{<AI05-0144-2AI05-0144-2>} Within an extended_return_statement, the
<return object> is declared with the given defining_identifier, with the
nominal subtype defined by the return_subtype_indication (*note 6.5:
S0187.).  An extended_return_statement with the reserved word constant
is a full constant declaration that declares the return object to be a
constant object.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

5.11/3
{<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>} {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>}
{<AI05-0032-1AI05-0032-1>} For the execution of an
extended_return_statement, the subtype_indication or access_definition
is elaborated.  This creates the nominal subtype of the return object.
If there is an expression, it is evaluated and converted to the nominal
subtype (which might raise Constraint_Error -- see *note 4.6::); the
return object is created and the converted value is assigned to the
return object.  Otherwise, the return object is created and initialized
by default as for a stand-alone object of its nominal subtype (see *note
3.3.1::).  If the nominal subtype is indefinite, the return object is
constrained by its initial value.  A check is made that the value of the
return object belongs to the function result subtype.  Constraint_Error
is raised if this check fails.  

5.e/2
          Ramification: If the result type is controlled or has a
          controlled part, appropriate calls on Initialize or Adjust are
          performed prior to executing the
          handled_sequence_of_statements, except when the initial
          expression is an aggregate (which requires build-in-place with
          no call on Adjust).

5.f/3
          {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} If the return statement is left
          without resulting in a return (for example, due to an
          exception propagated from the expression or the
          handled_sequence_of_statements, or a goto out of the
          handled_sequence_of_statements), if the return object has been
          created, it is finalized prior to leaving the return
          statement.  If it has not been created when the return
          statement is left, it is not created or finalized.

5.g/3
          {<AI05-0032-1AI05-0032-1>} Other rules ensure that the check
          required by this rule cannot fail unless the function has a
          class-wide result subtype where the associated specific
          subtype is constrained.  In other cases, either the subtypes
          have to match or the function's subtype is unconstrained and
          needs no checking.

6/2
{<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>} For the execution of a
simple_return_statement (*note 6.5: S0183.), the expression (if any) is
first evaluated, converted to the result subtype, and then is assigned
to the anonymous <return object>.  

6.a
          Ramification: The conversion might raise Constraint_Error --
          (see *note 4.6::).

return object has any parts that are tasks, the activation of those
tasks does not occur until after the function returns (see *note
9.2::).]

7.a/2
          Proof: This is specified by the rules in *note 9.2::.

7.b/2
          Reason: Only the caller can know when task activations should
          take place, as it depends on the context of the call.  If the
          function is being used to initialize the component of some
          larger object, then that entire object must be initialized
          before any task activations.  Even after the outer object is
          fully initialized, task activations are still postponed until
          the begin at the end of the declarative part if the function
          is being used to initialize part of a declared object.

{<AI12-0097-1AI12-0097-1>} If the result type of a function is a
specific tagged type, the tag of the return object is that of the result
type.  If the result type is class-wide, the tag of the return object is
that of the value of the expression, unless the return object is defined
by an extended_return_object_declaration with a subtype_indication that
is specific, in which case it is that of the type of the
subtype_indication.  A check is made that the master of the type
identified by the tag of the result includes the elaboration of the
master that elaborated the function body.  If this check fails,
Program_Error is raised.  

8.a/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>} The first
          sentence is true even if the tag of the expression is
          different, which could happen if the expression were a view
          conversion or a dereference of an access value.  Note that for
          a limited type, because of the restriction to aggregates and
          function calls (and no conversions), the tag will already
          match.

8.b/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>} The first rule ensures
          that a function whose result type is a specific tagged type
          always returns an object whose tag is that of the result type.
          This is important for dispatching on controlling result, and
          allows the caller to allocate the appropriate amount of space
          to hold the value being returned (assuming there are no
          discriminants).

8.c/3
          The master check prevents the returned object from outliving
          its type.  Note that this check cannot fail for a specific
          tagged type, as the tag represents the function's type, which
          necessarily must be declared outside of the function.

8.d/3
          We can't use the normal accessibility level "deeper than"
          check here because we may have "incomparable" levels if the
          masters belong to two different tasks.  This can happen when
          an accept statement calls a function declared in the enclosing
          task body, and the function returns an object passed to it
          from the accept statement, and this object was itself a
          parameter to the accept statement.

8.d.1/4
          To be honest: {<AI12-0097-1AI12-0097-1>} The expression here
          is the return expression if the return statement is a
          simple_return_statement, and the initializing expression of
          the extended_return_object_declaration if the return statement
          is an extended_return_statement (ignoring any inner
          simple_return_statements, which necessarily cannot have an
          expression, and any other expressions inside of the
          extended_return_statement).

8.1/3
{<AI05-0073-1AI05-0073-1>} If the result subtype of the function is
defined by an access_definition designating a specific tagged type <T>,
a check is made that the result value is null or the tag of the object
designated by the result value identifies <T>.  Constraint_Error is
raised if this check fails.

8.e/3
          Reason: This check is needed so that dispatching on
          controlling access results works for tag-indeterminate
          functions.  If it was not made, it would be possible for such
          functions to return an access to a descendant type, meaning
          the function could return an object with a tag different than
          the one assumed by the dispatching rules.

the specific type of the return object of a function (or coextension
thereof) has one or more access discriminants whose value is not
constrained by the result subtype of the function, a check is made that
the accessibility level of the anonymous access type of each access
discriminant, as determined by the expression or the
return_subtype_indication (*note 6.5: S0187.) of the return statement,
is not deeper than the level of the master of the call (see *note
3.10.2::).  If this check fails, Program_Error is raised.  

21.a/2
          <This paragraph was deleted.>

21.b/2
          Reason: The check prevents the returned object (for a
          nonlimited type) from outliving the object designated by one
          of its discriminants.  The check is made on the values of the
          discriminants, which may come from the
          return_subtype_indication (*note 6.5: S0187.) (if
          constrained), or the expression, but it is never necessary to
          check both.

21.c/3
          Implementation Note: {<AI05-0234-1AI05-0234-1>} The reason for
          saying "any part of the specific type" is to simplify
          implementation.  In the case of class-wide result objects,
          this allows the testing of a simple flag in the tagged type
          descriptor that indicates whether the specific type has any
          parts with access discriminants.  By basing the test on the
          type of the object rather than the object itself, we avoid
          concerns about whether subcomponents in variant parts and of
          arrays (which might be empty) are present.

21.d/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0234-1AI05-0234-1>} For a function with a
          class-wide result type, the access values that need to be
          checked are determined by the tag of the return object.  In
          order to implement this accessibility check in the case where
          the tag of the result is not known statically at the point of
          the return statement, an implementation may need to somehow
          associate with the tag of a specific tagged type an indication
          of whether the type has unconstrained access discriminants
          (explicit or inherited) or has any subcomponents with such
          discriminants.  If an implementation is already maintaining a
          statically initialized descriptor of some kind for each
          specific tagged type, then an additional Boolean could be
          added to this descriptor.

21.e/3
          {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} {<AI05-0234-1AI05-0234-1>} Note
          that the flag should only be queried in the case where the
          result object might have access discriminants that might have
          subtypes with "bad" accessibility levels (as determined by the
          rules of *note 3.10.2:: for determining the accessibility
          level of the type of an access discriminant in the expression
          or return_subtype_indication of a return statement).

21.f/3
          Thus, in a case like

21.g/3
               type Global is access T'Class;
               function F (Ptr : Global) return T'Class is
               begin
                  return Ptr.all;
               end F;

21.h/3
          there is no need for a run-time accessibility check.  While an
          object of T'Class "might have" access discriminants, the
          accessibility of those potential discriminants cannot be bad.
          The setting of the bit doesn't matter and there is no need to
          query it.

21.i/3
          On the other hand, given

21.j/3
               function F return T'Class is
                  Local : T'Class := ... ;
               begin
                  return Local;
               end F;

21.k/3
          In this case, a check would typically be required.

21.l/3
          The need for including subcomponents in this check is
          illustrated by the following example:

21.m/3
               X : aliased Integer;

21.n/3
               type Component_Type (Discrim : access Integer := X'Access)
                  is limited null record;

21.o/3
               type Undiscriminated is record
                  Fld : Component_Type;
               end record;

21.p/3
               function F return Undiscriminated is
                  Local : aliased Integer;
               begin
                  return X : Undiscriminated := (Fld => (Discrim => Local'Access)) do
                     Foo;
                  end return;
                  --< raises Program_Error after calling Foo.>
               end F;

21.q/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0234-1AI05-0234-1>} In the case where the
          tag of the result is not known statically at the point of the
          return statement and the run-time accessibility check is
          needed, discriminant values and array bounds play no role in
          performing this check.  That is, array components are assumed
          to have nonzero length and components declared within variant
          parts are assumed to be present.  Thus, the check may be
          implemented simply by testing the aforementioned descriptor
          bit and conditionally raising Program_Error.

subtype or used to initialize a return object that is built in place
into such an object:

24.1/3
   * {<AI05-0050-1AI05-0050-1>} If the result subtype of the function is
     constrained, and conversion of an object of this subtype to the
     subtype of the object being initialized would raise
     Constraint_Error, then Constraint_Error may be raised before
     calling the function.

24.2/3
   * {<AI05-0050-1AI05-0050-1>} If the result subtype of the function is
     unconstrained, and a return statement is executed such that the
     return object is known to be constrained, and conversion of the
     return object to the subtype of the object being initialized would
     raise Constraint_Error, then Constraint_Error may be raised at the
     point of the call (after abandoning the execution of the function
     body).

24.a/3
          Reason: {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>}
          {<AI05-0050-1AI05-0050-1>} Without such a permission, it would
          be very difficult to implement "built-in-place" semantics.
          The intention is that the exception is raised at the same
          point that it would have been raised without the permission;
          it should not change handlers if the implementation switches
          between return-by-copy and built-in-place.  This means that
          the exception is not handleable within the function, because
          in the return-by-copy case, the constraint check to verify
          that the result satisfies the constraints of the object being
          initialized happens after the function returns.  This implies
          further that upon detecting such a situation, the
          implementation may need to simulate a goto to a point outside
          any local exception handlers prior to raising the exception.

24.b/3
          Ramification: {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>}
          {<AI05-0050-1AI05-0050-1>} These permissions do not apply in
          the case of an extended return object with mutable
          discriminants.  That's necessary because in that case a return
          object can be created with the "wrong" discriminants and then
          changed to the "right" discriminants later (but before
          returning).  We don't want this case raising an exception when
          the canonical semantics will not do so.

24.c/3
          {<AI05-0050-1AI05-0050-1>} It's still possible to write a
          program that will raise an exception using this permission
          that would not in the canonical semantics.  That could happen
          if a return statement with the "wrong" discriminants or bounds
          is abandoned (via an exception, or for an
          extended_return_statement, via an exit or goto statement), and
          then a return statement with the "right" discriminants or
          bounds is executed.  The only solution for this problem is to
          not have the permission at all, but this is too unusual of a
          case to worry about the effects of the permission, especially
          given the implementation difficulties for built-in-place
          objects that this permission is intended to ease.

24.d/3
          {<AI05-0050-1AI05-0050-1>} Note that the mutable-discriminant
          case only happens when built-in-place initialization is
          optional.  This means that any difficulties associated with
          implementing built-in-place initialization without these
          permissions can be sidestepped by not building in place.

        Node.Value := Result;
        Node.Succ := Next_Node;
     end return;

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 83_

28.a/2
          {<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>} In Ada 95, if the result type
          of a function has a part that is a task, then an attempt to
          return a local variable will raise Program_Error.  This is
          illegal in Ada 2005, see below.  In Ada 83, if a function
          returns a local variable containing a task, execution is
          erroneous according to AI83-00867.  However, there are other
          situations where functions that return tasks (or that return a
          variant record only one of whose variants includes a task) are
          correct in Ada 83 but will raise Program_Error according to
          the new rules.

28.b
          The rule change was made because there will be more types
          (protected types, limited controlled types) in Ada 95 for
          which it will be meaningless to return a local variable, and
          making all of these erroneous is unacceptable.  The current
          rule was felt to be the simplest that kept upward
          incompatibilities to situations involving returning tasks,
          which are quite rare.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

28.c/3
          {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} This subclause has been moved here
          from chapter 5, since it has mainly to do with subprograms.

28.d
          A function now creates an anonymous object.  This is necessary
          so that controlled types will work.

28.e/2
          {<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>} We have clarified that a return
          statement applies to a callable construct, not to a callable
          entity.

28.f/2
          {<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>} There is no need to mention
          generics in the rules about where a return statement can
          appear and what it applies to; the phrase "body of a
          subprogram or generic subprogram" is syntactic, and refers
          exactly to "subprogram_body".

                     _Inconsistencies With Ada 95_

28.f.1/3
          {<AI95-0416-1AI95-0416-1>} {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>}
          {<AI05-0050-1AI05-0050-1>} Added an Implementation Permission
          allowing early raising of Constraint_Error if the result
          cannot fit in the ultimate object.  This gives implementations
          more flexibility to do built-in-place returns, and is
          essential for limited types (which cannot be built in a
          temporary).  However, it allows raising Constraint_Error in
          some cases where it would not be raised if the permission was
          not used.  See Inconsistencies With Ada 2005 for additional
          changes.  This case is potentially inconsistent with Ada 95,
          but a compiler does not have to take advantage of these
          permissions for any Ada 95 code, so there should be little
          practical impact.

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 95_

28.g/2
          {<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>}  The entire business about
          return-by-reference types has been dropped.  Instead, the
          expression of a return statement of a limited type can only be
          an aggregate or function_call (see *note 7.5::).  This means
          that returning a global object or type_conversion, legal in
          Ada 95, is now illegal.  Such functions can be converted to
          use anonymous access return types by adding access in the
          function definition and return statement, adding .all in uses,
          and adding aliased in the object declarations.  This has the
          advantage of making the reference return semantics much
          clearer to the casual reader.

28.h/2
          We changed these rules so that functions, combined with the
          new rules for limited types (*note 7.5::), can be used as
          build-in-place constructors for limited types.  This reduces
          the differences between limited and nonlimited types, which
          will make limited types useful in more circumstances.

                        _Extensions to Ada 95_

28.i/2
          {<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>} The extended_return_statement
          is new.  This provides a name for the object being returned,
          which reduces the copying needed to return complex objects
          (including no copying at all for limited objects).  It also
          allows component-by-component construction of the return
          object.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

28.j/2
          {<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>} The wording was updated to
          support anonymous access return subtypes.

28.k/2
          {<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>} The term "return expression"
          was dropped because reviewers found it confusing when applied
          to the default expression of an extended_return_statement.

28.l/2
          {<AI95-00344-01AI95-00344-01>} {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>}
          Added accessibility checks to class-wide return statements.
          These checks could not fail in Ada 95 (as all of the types had
          to be declared at the same level, so the tagged type would
          necessarily have been at the same level as the type of the
          object).

28.m/2
          {<AI95-00402-01AI95-00402-01>} {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>}
          Added accessibility checks to return statements for types with
          access discriminants.  Since such types have to be limited in
          Ada 95, the expression of a return statement would have been
          illegal in order for this check to fail.

                    _Inconsistencies With Ada 2005_

28.n/3
          {<AI05-0050-1AI05-0050-1>} Correction: The Implementation
          Permission allowing early raising of Constraint_Error was
          modified to remove the most common of these cases from the
          permission (returning an object with mutable discriminants,
          where the return object is created with one set of
          discriminants and then changed to another).  (The permission
          was also widened to allow the early check for constrained
          functions when that constraint is wrong.)  However, there
          still is an unlikely case where the permission would allow an
          exception to be raised when none would be raised by the
          canonical semantics (when a return statement is abandoned).
          These changes can only remove the raising of an exception (or
          change the place where it is raised) compared to Ada 2005, so
          programs that depend on the previous behavior should be very
          rare.

28.o/3
          {<AI05-0051-1AI05-0051-1>} {<AI05-0234-1AI05-0234-1>}
          Correction: Accessibility checks for access discriminants now
          depend on the master of the call rather than the point of
          declaration of the function.  This will result in cases that
          used to raise Program_Error now running without raising any
          exception.  This is technically inconsistent with Ada 2005 (as
          defined by Amendment 1), but it is unlikely that any real code
          depends on the raising of this exception.

28.p/3
          {<AI05-0073-1AI05-0073-1>} Correction: Added a tag check for
          functions returning anonymous access-to-tagged types, so that
          dispatching of tag-indeterminate function works as expected.
          This is technically inconsistent with Ada 2005 (as defined by
          Amendment 1), but as the feature in question was newly added
          to Ada 2005, there should be little code that depends on the
          behavior that now raises an exception.

                   _Incompatibilities With Ada 2005_

28.q/3
          {<AI05-0053-1AI05-0053-1>} {<AI05-0277-1AI05-0277-1>}
          Correction: The aliased keyword can now only appear on
          extended return objects with an immutably limited type.  Other
          types would provide a way to get an aliased view of an object
          that is not necessarily aliased, which would be very bad.
          This is incompatible, but since the feature was added in Ada
          2005, the keyword had no defined meaning in Ada 2005 (a
          significant oversight), and most sensible uses involve
          immutably limited types, it is unlikely that it appears
          meaningfully in existing programs.

28.r/3
          {<AI05-0103-1AI05-0103-1>} Correction: Added wording to
          require static matching for unconstrained access types in
          extended return statements.  This disallows adding or omitting
          null exclusions, and adding access constraints, in the
          declaration of the return object.  While this is incompatible,
          the incompatible cases in question are either useless (access
          constraints - the constraint can be given on an allocator if
          necessary, and still must be given there even if given on the
          return object) or wrong (null exclusions - null could be
          returned from a function declared to be null excluding), so we
          expect them to be extremely rare in practice.

                       _Extensions to Ada 2005_

28.s/3
          {<AI05-0015-1AI05-0015-1>} {<AI05-0144-2AI05-0144-2>} The
          return object of an extended_return_statement can be declared
          constant; this works similarly to a constant object
          declaration.

28.t/3
          {<AI05-0032-1AI05-0032-1>} Added wording to allow the
          return_subtype_indication to have a specific type if the
          return subtype of the function is class-wide.  Specifying the
          (specific) type of the return object is awkward without this
          change, and this is consistent with the way allocators work.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

28.u/3
          {<AI05-0024-1AI05-0024-1>} Correction: Corrected the master
          check for tags since the masters may be for different tasks
          and thus incomparable.

28.v/3
          {<AI05-0058-1AI05-0058-1>} Correction: Corrected the wording
          defining returns for extended_return_statements, since leaving
          by an exit or goto is considered "normal" completion of the
          statement.

28.w/3
          {<AI05-0205-1AI05-0205-1>} {<AI05-0277-1AI05-0277-1>}
          Correction: Added the extended_return_object_declaration to
          make other rules easier to write and eliminate the problem
          described in AI05-0205-1.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2012_

28.x/4
          {<AI05-0097-1AI05-0097-1>} Corrigendum: Clarified the wording
          so that it is clear where the tag of the return object comes
          from.  While a literal reading of the original Ada 2012 rule
          could have caused some weird results (by using some nearby
          subtype_indication to provide the tag in the case of a
          simple_return_statement, such a reading would be so unlike the
          rest of the language that we do not believe anyone would ever
          have thought it was intended.  As such, we do not believe any
          implementation ever did this wrong (at least because of the
          old wording), and thus do not document this as a possible
          inconsistency.

6.5.1 Nonreturning Procedures
-----------------------------

1/3
{<AI95-00329-01AI95-00329-01>} {<AI95-00414-01AI95-00414-01>}
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} Specifying aspect No_Return to have the value
True indicates that a procedure cannot return normally[; it may
propagate an exception or loop forever].

1.a/3
          Discussion: Aspect No_Deposit will have to wait for Ada 2020.
          :-)

<Paragraphs 2 and 3 were moved to *note Annex J::, "*note Annex J::
Obsolescent Features".>

                          _Static Semantics_

3.1/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} For a procedure or generic procedure, the
following language-defined representation aspect may be specified:

3.2/3
No_Return
               The type of aspect No_Return is Boolean.  When aspect
               No_Return is True for an entity, the entity is said to be
               <nonreturning>.

3.3/3
               If directly specified, the aspect_definition shall be a
               static expression.  [This aspect is never inherited;] if
               not directly specified, the aspect is False.

3.a/3
          Aspect Description for No_Return: A procedure will not return
          normally.

3.4/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} If a generic procedure is nonreturning, then
so are its instances.  If a procedure declared within a generic unit is
nonreturning, then so are the corresponding copies of that procedure in
instances.

                           _Legality Rules_

4/3
{<AI95-00329-01AI95-00329-01>} {<AI95-00414-01AI95-00414-01>}
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} Aspect No_Return shall not be specified for a
null procedure nor an instance of a generic unit.

4.a/2
          Reason: A null procedure cannot have the appropriate
          nonreturning semantics, as it does not raise an exception or
          loop forever.

4.b/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} The procedure can be
          abstract.  If a nonreturning procedure is renamed (anywhere)
          calls through the new name still have the nonreturning
          semantics.

5/2
{<AI95-00329-01AI95-00329-01>} {<AI95-00414-01AI95-00414-01>} A return
statement shall not apply to a nonreturning procedure or generic
procedure.

6/2
{<AI95-00414-01AI95-00414-01>} A procedure shall be nonreturning if it
overrides a dispatching nonreturning procedure.  In addition to the
places where Legality Rules normally apply (see *note 12.3::), this rule
applies also in the private part of an instance of a generic unit.

6.a/2
          Reason: This ensures that dispatching calls to nonreturning
          procedures will, in fact, not return.

7/2
{<AI95-00414-01AI95-00414-01>} If a renaming-as-body completes a
nonreturning procedure declaration, then the renamed procedure shall be
nonreturning.

7.a/2
          Reason: This ensures that no extra code is needed to implement
          the renames (that is, no wrapper is needed) as the body has
          the same property.

<Paragraph 8 was deleted.>

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

9/2
{<AI95-00329-01AI95-00329-01>} {<AI95-00414-01AI95-00414-01>} If the
body of a nonreturning procedure completes normally, Program_Error is
raised at the point of the call.  

9.a/2
          Discussion: Note that there is no name for suppressing this
          check, since the check represents a bug, imposes no time
          overhead, and minimal space overhead (since it can usually be
          statically eliminated as dead code).

9.b/2
          Implementation Note: If a nonreturning procedure tries to
          return, we raise Program_Error.  This is stated as happening
          at the call site, because we do not wish to allow the
          procedure to handle the exception (and then, perhaps, try to
          return again!).  However, the expected run-time model is that
          the compiler will generate raise Program_Error at the end of
          the procedure body (but not handleable by the procedure
          itself), as opposed to doing it at the call site.  (This is
          just like the typical run-time model for functions that fall
          off the end without returning a value).  The reason is
          indirect calls: in P.all(...);, the compiler cannot know
          whether P designates a nonreturning procedure or a normal one.
          Putting the raise Program_Error in the procedure's generated
          code solves this problem neatly.

9.c/2
          Similarly, if one passes a nonreturning procedure to a generic
          formal parameter, the compiler cannot know this at call sites
          (in shared code implementations); the raise-in-body solution
          deals with this neatly.

6.6 Overloading of Operators
============================

1
An <operator> is a function whose designator is an operator_symbol.
[Operators, like other functions, may be overloaded.]

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

2
Each use of a unary or binary operator is equivalent to a function_call
with <function_>prefix being the corresponding operator_symbol, and with
(respectively) one or two positional actual parameters being the
operand(s) of the operator (in order).

2.a/3
          To be honest: {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} We also use the term
          operator (in Clause 4 and in *note 6.1::) to refer to one of
          the syntactic categories defined in *note 4.5::, "*note 4.5::
          Operators and Expression Evaluation" whose names end with
          "_operator:" logical_operator (*note 4.5: S0127.),
          relational_operator (*note 4.5: S0128.),
          binary_adding_operator (*note 4.5: S0129.),
          unary_adding_operator (*note 4.5: S0130.),
          multiplying_operator (*note 4.5: S0131.), and
          highest_precedence_operator (*note 4.5: S0132.).

2.b/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} This equivalence
          extends to uses of function_call in most other language rules.
          However, as often happens, the equivalence is not perfect, as
          operator calls are not a name, while a function_call is a
          name.  Thus, operator calls cannot be used in contexts that
          require a name (such as a rename of an object).  A direct fix
          for this problem would be very disruptive, and thus we have
          not done that.  However, qualifying an operator call can be
          used as a workaround in contexts that require a name.

                           _Legality Rules_

3/3
{<AI05-0143-1AI05-0143-1>} The subprogram_specification of a unary or
binary operator shall have one or two parameters, respectively.  The
parameters shall be of mode in.  A generic function instantiation whose
designator is an operator_symbol is only allowed if the specification of
the generic function has the corresponding number of parameters, and
they are all of mode in.

4
Default_expressions are not allowed for the parameters of an operator
(whether the operator is declared with an explicit
subprogram_specification or by a generic_instantiation).

5
An explicit declaration of "/=" shall not have a result type of the
predefined type Boolean.

                          _Static Semantics_

6/3
{<AI05-0128-1AI05-0128-1>} An explicit declaration of "=" whose result
type is Boolean implicitly declares an operator "/=" that gives the
complementary result.

6.a/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0128-1AI05-0128-1>} A "/=" defined by this
          rule is considered user-defined, which means that it will be
          inherited by a derived type.  "User-defined" means "not
          language-defined" for the purposes of inheritance, that is
          anything other than predefined operators.  

     NOTES

7
     10  The operators "+" and "-" are both unary and binary operators,
     and hence may be overloaded with both one- and two-parameter
     functions.

                              _Examples_

8
<Examples of user-defined operators:>

9
     function "+" (Left, Right : Matrix) return Matrix;
     function "+" (Left, Right : Vector) return Vector;

     --<  assuming that A, B, and C are of the type Vector>
     --<  the following two statements are equivalent:>

     A := B + C;
     A := "+"(B, C);

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

9.a
          Explicit declarations of "=" are now permitted for any
          combination of parameter and result types.

9.b
          Explicit declarations of "/=" are now permitted, so long as
          the result type is not Boolean.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

9.c/3
          {<AI05-0128-1AI05-0128-1>} Correction: Corrected the wording
          so that only explicit declarations of "=" cause an implicit
          declaration of "/="; otherwise, we could get multiple implicit
          definitions of "/=" without an obvious way to chose between
          them.

9.d/3
          {<AI05-0143-1AI05-0143-1>} Added wording so that operators
          only allow parameters of mode in.  This was made necessary by
          the elimination elsewhere of the restriction that function
          parameters be only of mode in.

===================

1/2

2.1/3
{<AI05-0177-1AI05-0177-1>} If a null_procedure_declaration is a
completion, it shall be the completion of a subprogram_declaration or
generic_subprogram_declaration.  The profile of a
null_procedure_declaration that completes a declaration shall conform
fully to that of the declaration.

{<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} A null_procedure_declaration declares a <null
procedure>.  A completion is not allowed for a
null_procedure_declaration; however, a null_procedure_declaration can
complete a previous declaration.

3.a/2
          Reason: There are no null functions because the return value
          has to be constructed somehow; a function that always raises
          Program_Error doesn't seem very useful or worth the
          complication.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

4/2
{<AI95-00348-01AI95-00348-01>} The execution of a null procedure is
invoked by a subprogram call.  For the execution of a subprogram call on
a null procedure, the execution of the subprogram_body has no effect.

4.a/2
          Ramification: Thus, a null procedure is equivalent to the body

4.b/2
               begin
                  null;
               end;

          with the exception that a null procedure can be used in place
          of a procedure specification.

{<AI95-00348-01AI95-00348-01>} {<AI05-0177-1AI05-0177-1>} The
elaboration of a null_procedure_declaration has no other effect than to
establish that the null procedure can be called without failing the
Elaboration_Check.

statically deeper than that of the master that elaborated the
expression_function_declaration (*note 6.8: S0189.).

5.a/3
          Ramification: This can only fail if the discriminant is an
          access to a part of a non-aliased parameter, as there can be
          no local declarations here.

5.b/4
          Discussion: {<AI12-0005-1AI12-0005-1>} We don't need to repeat
          any of the other Legality Rules for return statements since
          none of them can fail here: the implicit return statement has
          to apply to this function (and isn't nested in something),
          there clearly is a return statement in this function, and the
          static class-wide accessibility check cannot fail as a tagged
          type cannot be declared locally in an expression function.

7 Packages
**********

1
[Packages are program units that allow the specification of groups of
logically related entities.  Typically, a package contains the
declaration of a type (often a private type or private extension) along
with the declarations of primitive subprograms of the type, which can be
called from outside the package, while their inner workings remain
hidden from outside users.  ]

7.1 Package Specifications and Declarations
===========================================

1
[A package is generally provided in two parts: a package_specification
and a package_body.  Every package has a package_specification, but not
all packages have a package_body.]

                               _Syntax_

2
     package_declaration ::= package_specification;

3/3
     {<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>} package_specification ::=
         package defining_program_unit_name
             [aspect_specification] is
           {basic_declarative_item}
        [private
           {basic_declarative_item}]
         end [[parent_unit_name.]identifier]

4
     If an identifier or parent_unit_name.identifier appears at the end
     of a package_specification, then this sequence of lexical elements
     shall repeat the defining_program_unit_name.

                           _Legality Rules_

5/2
{<AI95-00434-01AI95-00434-01>} A package_declaration or
generic_package_declaration requires a completion [(a body)] if it
contains any basic_declarative_item that requires a completion, but
whose completion is not in its package_specification.

5.a/3
          To be honest: {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} If an implementation
          supports it, the body of a package or generic package may be
          imported (using aspect Import, see *note B.1::), in which case
          no explicit body is allowed.

                          _Static Semantics_

6/2
{<AI95-00420-01AI95-00420-01>} {<AI95-00434-01AI95-00434-01>} The first
list of basic_declarative_items of a package_specification of a package
other than a generic formal package is called the <visible part> of the
package.  [ The optional list of basic_declarative_items after the
reserved word private (of any package_specification) is called the
<private part> of the package.  If the reserved word private does not
appear, the package has an implicit empty private part.]  Each list of
basic_declarative_items of a package_specification forms a <declaration
list> of the package.

6.a
          Ramification: This definition of visible part does not apply
          to generic formal packages -- *note 12.7:: defines the visible
          part of a generic formal package.

6.b
          The implicit empty private part is important because certain
          implicit declarations occur there if the package is a child
          package, and it defines types in its visible part that are
          derived from, or contain as components, private types declared
          within the parent package.  These implicit declarations are
          visible in children of the child package.  See *note 10.1.1::.

7
[An entity declared in the private part of a package is visible only
within the declarative region of the package itself (including any child
units -- see *note 10.1.1::).  In contrast, expanded names denoting
entities declared in the visible part can be used even outside the
package; furthermore, direct visibility of such entities can be achieved
by means of use_clauses (see *note 4.1.3:: and *note 8.4::).]

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

8
The elaboration of a package_declaration consists of the elaboration of
its basic_declarative_items in the given order.

     NOTES

9
     1  The visible part of a package contains all the information that
     another program unit is able to know about the package.

10
     2  If a declaration occurs immediately within the specification of
     a package, and the declaration has a corresponding completion that
     is a body, then that body has to occur immediately within the body
     of the package.

10.a
          Proof: This follows from the fact that the declaration and
          completion are required to occur immediately within the same
          declarative region, and the fact that bodies are disallowed
          (by the Syntax Rules) in package_specifications.  This does
          not apply to instances of generic units, whose bodies can
          occur in package_specifications.

                              _Examples_

11
<Example of a package declaration:>

12
     package Rational_Numbers is

13
        type Rational is
           record
              Numerator   : Integer;
              Denominator : Positive;
           end record;

14
        function "="(X,Y : Rational) return Boolean;

15
        function "/"  (X,Y : Integer)  return Rational;  --<  to construct a rational number>

16
        function "+"  (X,Y : Rational) return Rational;
        function "-"  (X,Y : Rational) return Rational;
        function "*"  (X,Y : Rational) return Rational;
        function "/"  (X,Y : Rational) return Rational;
     end Rational_Numbers;

17
There are also many examples of package declarations in the predefined
language environment (see *note Annex A::).

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 83_

17.a
          In Ada 83, a library package is allowed to have a body even if
          it doesn't need one.  In Ada 95, a library package body is
          either required or forbidden -- never optional.  The
          workaround is to add pragma Elaborate_Body, or something else
          requiring a body, to each library package that has a body that
          isn't otherwise required.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

17.b/3
          {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} We have moved the syntax into this
          subclause and the next subclause from RM83-7.1, "Package
          Structure", which we have removed.

17.c
          RM83 was unclear on the rules about when a package requires a
          body.  For example, RM83-7.1(4) and RM83-7.1(8) clearly forgot
          about the case of an incomplete type declared in a
          package_declaration but completed in the body.  In addition,
          RM83 forgot to make this rule apply to a generic package.  We
          have corrected these rules.  Finally, since we now allow a
          pragma Import for any explicit declaration, the completion
          rules need to take this into account as well.

7.2 Package Bodies
==================

1
[In contrast to the entities declared in the visible part of a package,
the entities declared in the package_body are visible only within the
package_body itself.  As a consequence, a package with a package_body
can be used for the construction of a group of related subprograms in
which the logical operations available to clients are clearly isolated
from the internal entities.]

                               _Syntax_

2/3
     {<AI05-0267-1AI05-0267-1>} package_body ::=
         package body defining_program_unit_name
             [aspect_specification] is
            declarative_part
        [begin
             handled_sequence_of_statements]
         end [[parent_unit_name.]identifier];

3
     If an identifier or parent_unit_name.identifier appears at the end
     of a package_body, then this sequence of lexical elements shall
     repeat the defining_program_unit_name.

                           _Legality Rules_

4
A package_body shall be the completion of a previous package_declaration
(*note 7.1: S0190.) or generic_package_declaration (*note 12.1: S0273.).
A library package_declaration (*note 7.1: S0190.) or library
generic_package_declaration (*note 12.1: S0273.) shall not have a body
unless it requires a body[; pragma Elaborate_Body can be used to require
a library_unit_declaration (*note 10.1.1: S0249.) to have a body (see
*note 10.2.1::) if it would not otherwise require one].

4.a
          Ramification: The first part of the rule forbids a
          package_body from standing alone -- it has to belong to some
          previous package_declaration or generic_package_declaration.

4.b
          A nonlibrary package_declaration or nonlibrary
          generic_package_declaration that does not require a completion
          may have a corresponding body anyway.

                          _Static Semantics_

5/3
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} In any package_body without statements there
is an implicit null_statement (*note 5.1: S0149.).  For any
package_declaration (*note 7.1: S0190.) without an explicit completion,
there is an implicit package_body (*note 7.2: S0192.) containing a
single null_statement.  For a noninstance, nonlibrary package, this body
occurs at the end of the declarative_part (*note 3.11: S0086.) of the
innermost enclosing program unit or block_statement (*note 5.6: S0160.);
if there are several such packages, the order of the implicit
package_bodies is unspecified.  [(For an instance, the implicit
package_body (*note 7.2: S0192.) occurs at the place of the
instantiation (see *note 12.3::).  For a library package, the place is
partially determined by the elaboration dependences (see Clause *note
10::).)]

5.a
          Discussion: Thus, for example, we can refer to something
          happening just after the begin of a package_body, and we can
          refer to the handled_sequence_of_statements of a package_body,
          without worrying about all the optional pieces.  The place of
          the implicit body makes a difference for tasks activated by
          the package.  See also RM83-9.3(5).

5.b
          The implicit body would be illegal if explicit in the case of
          a library package that does not require (and therefore does
          not allow) a body.  This is a bit strange, but not harmful.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

6
For the elaboration of a nongeneric package_body, its declarative_part
(*note 3.11: S0086.) is first elaborated, and its
handled_sequence_of_statements (*note 11.2: S0265.) is then executed.

     NOTES

7
     3  A variable declared in the body of a package is only visible
     within this body and, consequently, its value can only be changed
     within the package_body.  In the absence of local tasks, the value
     of such a variable remains unchanged between calls issued from
     outside the package to subprograms declared in the visible part.
     The properties of such a variable are similar to those of a
     "static" variable of C.

8
     4  The elaboration of the body of a subprogram explicitly declared
     in the visible part of a package is caused by the elaboration of
     the body of the package.  Hence a call of such a subprogram by an
     outside program unit raises the exception Program_Error if the call
     takes place before the elaboration of the package_body (see *note
     3.11::).

                              _Examples_

9
<Example of a package body (see *note 7.1::):>

10
     package body Rational_Numbers is

11
        procedure Same_Denominator (X,Y : in out Rational) is
        begin
           --<  reduces X and Y to the same denominator:>
           ...
        end Same_Denominator;

12
        function "="(X,Y : Rational) return Boolean is
           U : Rational := X;
           V : Rational := Y;
        begin
           Same_Denominator (U,V);
           return U.Numerator = V.Numerator;
        end "=";

13
        function "/" (X,Y : Integer) return Rational is
        begin
           if Y > 0 then
              return (Numerator => X,  Denominator => Y);
           else
              return (Numerator => -X, Denominator => -Y);
           end if;
        end "/";

14
        function "+" (X,Y : Rational) return Rational is ... end "+";
        function "-" (X,Y : Rational) return Rational is ... end "-";
        function "*" (X,Y : Rational) return Rational is ... end "*";
        function "/" (X,Y : Rational) return Rational is ... end "/";

15
     end Rational_Numbers;

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

15.a
          The syntax rule for package_body now uses the syntactic
          category handled_sequence_of_statements.

15.b
          The declarative_part of a package_body is now required; that
          doesn't make any real difference, since a declarative_part can
          be empty.

15.c
          RM83 seems to have forgotten to say that a package_body can't
          stand alone, without a previous declaration.  We state that
          rule here.

15.d
          RM83 forgot to restrict the definition of elaboration of
          package_bodies to nongeneric ones.  We have corrected that
          omission.

15.e
          The rule about implicit bodies (from RM83-9.3(5)) is moved
          here, since it is more generally applicable.

7.3 Private Types and Private Extensions
========================================

1
[The declaration (in the visible part of a package) of a type as a
private type or private extension serves to separate the characteristics
that can be used directly by outside program units (that is, the logical
properties) from other characteristics whose direct use is confined to
the package (the details of the definition of the type itself).  See
*note 3.9.1:: for an overview of type extensions.  ]

                     _Language Design Principles_

1.a
          A private (untagged) type can be thought of as a record type
          with the type of its single (hidden) component being the full
          view.

1.b
          A private tagged type can be thought of as a private extension
          of an anonymous parent with no components.  The only
          dispatching operation of the parent is equality (although the
          Size attribute, and, if nonlimited, assignment are allowed,
          and those will presumably be implemented in terms of
          dispatching).

                               _Syntax_

2/3
     {<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>} private_type_declaration ::=
        type defining_identifier [
     discriminant_part] is [[abstract] tagged] [limited] private
           [aspect_specification];

3/3
     {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} {<AI95-00419-01AI95-00419-01>}
     {<AI95-00443-01AI95-00443-01>} {<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>}
     private_extension_declaration ::=
        type defining_identifier [discriminant_part] is
          [abstract] [limited | synchronized] new <ancestor_>
     subtype_indication
          [and interface_list] with private
            [aspect_specification];

                           _Legality Rules_

4
A private_type_declaration or private_extension_declaration declares a
<partial view> of the type; such a declaration is allowed only as a
declarative_item of the visible part of a package, and it requires a
completion, which shall be a full_type_declaration that occurs as a
declarative_item of the private part of the package.  [ The view of the
type declared by the full_type_declaration is called the <full view>.]
A generic formal private type or a generic formal private extension is
also a partial view.

4.a
          To be honest: A private type can also be imported (using
          aspect Import, see *note B.1::), in which case no completion
          is allowed, if supported by an implementation.

4.b
          Reason: We originally used the term "private view," but this
          was easily confused with the view provided <from> the private
          part, namely the full view.

4.c/2
          Proof: {<AI95-00326-01AI95-00326-01>} Full view is now defined
          in *note 3.2.1::, "*note 3.2.1:: Type Declarations", as all
          types now have them.

5
[A type shall be completely defined before it is frozen (see *note
3.11.1:: and *note 13.14::).  Thus, neither the declaration of a
variable of a partial view of a type, nor the creation by an allocator
of an object of the partial view are allowed before the full declaration
of the type.  Similarly, before the full declaration, the name of the
partial view cannot be used in a generic_instantiation or in a
representation item.]

5.a
          Proof: This rule is stated officially in *note 3.11.1::,
          "*note 3.11.1:: Completions of Declarations".

6/2
{<AI95-00419-01AI95-00419-01>} {<AI95-00443-01AI95-00443-01>} [A private
type is limited if its declaration includes the reserved word limited; a
private extension is limited if its ancestor type is a limited type that
is not an interface type, or if the reserved word limited or
synchronized appears in its definition.]  If the partial view is
nonlimited, then the full view shall be nonlimited.  If a tagged partial
view is limited, then the full view shall be limited.  [On the other
hand, if an untagged partial view is limited, the full view may be
limited or nonlimited.]

7
If the partial view is tagged, then the full view shall be tagged.  [On
the other hand, if the partial view is untagged, then the full view may
be tagged or untagged.]  In the case where the partial view is untagged
and the full view is tagged, no derivatives of the partial view are
allowed within the immediate scope of the partial view; [derivatives of
the full view are allowed.]

7.a
          Ramification: Note that deriving from a partial view within
          its immediate scope can only occur in a package that is a
          child of the one where the partial view is declared.  The rule
          implies that in the visible part of a public child package, it
          is impossible to derive from an untagged private type declared
          in the visible part of the parent package in the case where
          the full view of the parent type turns out to be tagged.  We
          considered a model in which the derived type was implicitly
          redeclared at the earliest place within its immediate scope
          where characteristics needed to be added.  However, we
          rejected that model, because (1) it would imply that (for an
          untagged type) subprograms explicitly declared after the
          derived type could be inherited, and (2) to make this model
          work for composite types as well, several implicit
          redeclarations would be needed, since new characteristics can
          become visible one by one; that seemed like too much
          mechanism.

7.b
          Discussion: The rule for tagged partial views is redundant for
          partial views that are private extensions, since all
          extensions of a given ancestor tagged type are tagged, and
          limited if the ancestor is limited.  We phrase this rule
          partially redundantly to keep its structure parallel with the
          other rules.

7.c
          To be honest: This rule is checked in a generic unit, rather
          than using the "assume the best" or "assume the worst" method.

7.d/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} Tagged limited private
          types have certain capabilities that are incompatible with
          having assignment for the full view of the type.  In
          particular, tagged limited private types can be extended with
          components of a limited type, which works only because
          assignment is not allowed.  Consider the following example:

7.e
               package P1 is
                   type T1 is tagged limited private;
                   procedure Foo(X : in T1'Class);
               private
                   type T1 is tagged null record; --< Illegal!>
                       --< This should say "tagged limited null record".>
               end P1;

7.f/1
               package body P1 is
                   type A is access T1'Class;
                   Global : A;
                   procedure Foo(X : in T1'Class) is
                   begin
                       Global := new T1'Class'(X);
                           --< This would be illegal if the full view of>
                           --< T1 were limited, like it's supposed to be.>
                   end Foo;
               end P1;

7.g/2
               {<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} with P1;
               package P2 is
                   type T2(D : access Integer)
                           is new P1.T1 with
                       record
                           My_Task : Some_Task_Type; --< Trouble!>
                       end record;
               end P2;

7.h/1
               with P1;
               with P2;
               procedure Main is
                   Local : aliased Integer;
                   Y : P2.T2(D => Local'Access);
               begin
                   P1.Foo(Y);
               end Main;
  

7.i/2
          {<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} If the above example were
          legal, we would have succeeded in doing an assignment of a
          task object, which is supposed to be a no-no.

7.j
          This rule is not needed for private extensions, because they
          inherit their limitedness from their ancestor, and there is a
          separate rule forbidding limited components of the
          corresponding record extension if the parent is nonlimited.

7.k
          Ramification: A type derived from an untagged private type is
          untagged, even if the full view of the parent is tagged, and
          even at places that can see the parent:

7.l
               package P is
                   type Parent is private;
               private
                   type Parent is tagged
                       record
                           X: Integer;
                       end record;
               end P;

7.m/1
               with P;
               package Q is
                   type T is new P.Parent;
               end Q;

7.n
               with Q; use Q;
               package body P is
                   ... T'Class ... --< Illegal!>
                   Object: T;
                   ... Object.X ... --< Illegal!>
                   ... Parent(Object).X ... --< OK.>
               end P;

7.o
          The declaration of T declares an untagged view.  This view is
          always untagged, so T'Class is illegal, it would be illegal to
          extend T, and so forth.  The component name X is never visible
          for this view, although the component is still there -- one
          can get one's hands on it via a type_conversion.

7.1/2
{<AI95-00396-01AI95-00396-01>} If a full type has a partial view that is
tagged, then:

7.2/2
   * the partial view shall be a synchronized tagged type (see *note
     3.9.4::) if and only if the full type is a synchronized tagged
     type;

7.o.1/2
          Reason: Since we do not allow record extensions of
          synchronized tagged types, this property has to be visible in
          the partial view to avoid privacy breaking.  Generic formals
          do not need a similar rule as any extensions are rechecked for
          legality in the specification, and extensions of tagged
          formals are always illegal in a generic body.

7.3/2
   * the partial view shall be a descendant of an interface type (see
     3.9.4) if and only if the full type is a descendant of the
     interface type.

               package body P is
                  ...

7.w/2
                  procedure Bar (X : T1'Class) is
                  begin
                     Pkg.Foo (X); -- <should call Foo #1 or an override thereof>
                  end;

               begin
                  Pkg.Foo (Pkg.Ifc'Class (P_Client.X));      -- <should call Foo #2>
                  Bar (T1'Class (P_Client.X));
               end P;

7.y/2
          This example is illegal because the completion of T1 is
          descended from an interface that the partial view is not
          descended from.  If it were legal, T2 would implement Ifc
          twice, once in the visible part of P, and once in the visible
          part of P_Client.  We would need to decide how Foo #1 and Foo
          #2 relate to each other.  There are two options: either Foo #2
          overrides Foo #1, or it doesn't.

7.z/2
          If Foo #2 overrides Foo #1, we have a problem because the
          client redefines a behavior that it doesn't know about, and we
          try to avoid this at all costs, as it would lead to a
          breakdown of whatever abstraction was implemented.  If the
          abstraction didn't expose that it implements Ifc, there must
          be a reason, and it should be able to depend on the fact that
          no overriding takes place in clients.  Also, during
          maintenance, things may change and the full view might
          implement a different set of interfaces.  Furthermore, the
          situation is even worse if the full type implements another
          interface Ifc2 that happens to have a conforming Foo
          (otherwise unrelated, except for its name and profile).

7.aa/2
          If Foo #2 doesn't override Foo #1, there is some similarity
          with the case of normal tagged private types, where a client
          can declare an operation that happens to conform to some
          private operation, and that's OK, it gets a different slot in
          the type descriptor.  The problem here is that T2 would
          implement Ifc in two different ways, and through conversions
          to Ifc'Class we could end up with visibility on both of these
          two different implementations.  This is the "diamond
          inheritance" problem of C++ all over again, and we would need
          some kind of a preference rule to pick one implementation.  We
          don't want to go there (if we did, we might as well provide
          full-fledged multiple inheritance).

7.bb/2
          Note that there wouldn't be any difficulty to implement the
          first option, so the restriction is essentially
          methodological.  The second option might be harder to
          implement, depending on the language rules that we would
          choose.

7.cc/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} This rule also
          prevents completing a private type with an interface.  An
          interface, like all types, is a descendant of itself, and thus
          this rule is triggered.  One reason this is necessary is that
          a client of a private extension should be able to inherit
          limitedness without having to look in the private part to see
          if the type is an interface (remember that limitedness of
          interfaces is never inherited, while it is inherited from
          other types).

8
The <ancestor subtype> of a private_extension_declaration is the subtype
defined by the <ancestor_>subtype_indication (*note 3.2.2: S0027.); the
ancestor type shall be a specific tagged type.  The full view of a
private extension shall be derived (directly or indirectly) from the
ancestor type.  In addition to the places where Legality Rules normally
apply (see *note 12.3::), the requirement that the ancestor be specific
applies also in the private part of an instance of a generic unit.

8.a
          Reason: This rule allows the full view to be defined through
          several intermediate derivations, possibly from a series of
          types produced by generic_instantiations.

8.1/2
{<AI95-00419-01AI95-00419-01>} {<AI95-00443-01AI95-00443-01>} If the
reserved word limited appears in a private_extension_declaration, the
ancestor type shall be a limited type.  If the reserved word
synchronized appears in a private_extension_declaration, the ancestor
type shall be a limited interface.

9
If the declaration of a partial view includes a known_discriminant_part,
then the full_type_declaration shall have a fully conforming
[(explicit)] known_discriminant_part [(see *note 6.3.1::, "*note 6.3.1::
Conformance Rules")].  [The ancestor subtype may be unconstrained; the
parent subtype of the full view is required to be constrained (see *note
3.7::).]

9.a
          Discussion: If the ancestor subtype has discriminants, then it
          is usually best to make it unconstrained.

9.b
          Ramification: If the partial view has a
          known_discriminant_part, then the full view has to be a
          composite, non-array type, since only such types may have
          known discriminants.  Also, the full view cannot inherit the
          discriminants in this case; the known_discriminant_part has to
          be explicit.

9.c
          That is, the following is illegal:

9.d
               package P is
                   type T(D : Integer) is private;
               private
                   type T is new Some_Other_Type; --< Illegal!>
               end P;
  

9.e
          even if Some_Other_Type has an integer discriminant called D.

9.f
          It is a ramification of this and other rules that in order for
          a tagged type to privately inherit unconstrained
          discriminants, the private type declaration has to have an
          unknown_discriminant_part.

10
If a private extension inherits known discriminants from the ancestor
subtype, then the full view shall also inherit its discriminants from
the ancestor subtype, and the parent subtype of the full view shall be
constrained if and only if the ancestor subtype is constrained.

10.a
          Reason: The first part ensures that the full view has the same
          discriminants as the partial view.  The second part ensures
          that if the partial view is unconstrained, then the full view
          is also unconstrained; otherwise, a client might constrain the
          partial view in a way that conflicts with the constraint on
          the full view.

10.1/3
{<AI95-00419-01AI95-00419-01>} {<AI05-0004-1AI05-0004-1>} If the
full_type_declaration for a private extension includes a
derived_type_definition, then the reserved word limited shall appear in
the full_type_declaration if and only if it also appears in the
private_extension_declaration.

10.b/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0004-1AI05-0004-1>} The word limited is
          optional (unless the ancestor is an interface), but it should
          be used consistently.  Otherwise things would be too confusing
          for the reader.  Of course, we only require that if the full
          type includes a derived_type_definition, as we want to allow
          task and protected types to complete extensions of
          synchronized interfaces.

11
[If a partial view has unknown discriminants, then the
full_type_declaration may define a definite or an indefinite subtype,
with or without discriminants.]

12
If a partial view has neither known nor unknown discriminants, then the
full_type_declaration shall define a definite subtype.

13
If the ancestor subtype of a private extension has constrained
discriminants, then the parent subtype of the full view shall impose a
statically matching constraint on those discriminants.  

13.a
          Ramification: If the parent type of the full view is not the
          ancestor type, but is rather some descendant thereof, the
          constraint on the discriminants of the parent type might come
          from the declaration of some intermediate type in the
          derivation chain between the ancestor type and the parent
          type.

13.b
          Reason: This prevents the following:

13.c
               package P is
                   type T2 is new T1(Discrim => 3) with private;
               private
                   type T2 is new T1(Discrim => 999) --< Illegal!>
                       with record ...;
               end P;

13.d
          The constraints in this example do not statically match.

13.e
          If the constraint on the parent subtype of the full view
          depends on discriminants of the full view, then the ancestor
          subtype has to be unconstrained:

13.f
               type One_Discrim(A: Integer) is tagged ...;
               ...
               package P is
                   type Two_Discrims(B: Boolean; C: Integer) is new One_Discrim with private;
               private
                   type Two_Discrims(B: Boolean; C: Integer) is new One_Discrim(A => C) with
                       record
                           ...
                       end record;
               end P;

13.g
          The above example would be illegal if the private extension
          said "is new One_Discrim(A => C);", because then the
          constraints would not statically match.  (Constraints that
          depend on discriminants are not static.)

                          _Static Semantics_

14
A private_type_declaration declares a private type and its first
subtype.  Similarly, a private_extension_declaration (*note 7.3: S0194.)
declares a private extension and its first subtype.

14.a
          Discussion: A <package-private type> is one declared by a
          private_type_declaration; that is, a private type other than a
          generic formal private type.  Similarly, a <package-private
          extension> is one declared by a private_extension_declaration.
          These terms are not used in the RM95 version of this document.

15/3
{<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>} A declaration of a partial view and the
corresponding full_type_declaration define two views of a single type.
The declaration of a partial view together with the visible part define
the operations that are available to outside program units; the
declaration of the full view together with the private part define other
operations whose direct use is possible only within the declarative
region of the package itself.  Moreover, within the scope of the
declaration of the full view, the characteristics (see *note 3.4::) of
the type are determined by the full view; in particular, within its
scope, the full view determines the classes that include the type, which
components, entries, and protected subprograms are visible, what
attributes and other predefined operations are allowed, and whether the
first subtype is static.  See *note 7.3.1::.

16/3
{<AI95-00401-01AI95-00401-01>} {<AI05-0110-1AI05-0110-1>} For a private
extension, the characteristics (including components, but excluding
discriminants if there is a new discriminant_part specified), predefined
operators, and inherited user-defined primitive subprograms are
determined by its ancestor type and its progenitor types (if any), in
the same way that those of a record extension are determined by those of
its parent type and its progenitor types (see *note 3.4:: and *note
7.3.1::).

16.a/3
          To be honest: {<AI05-0110-1AI05-0110-1>} If an operation of
          the ancestor or parent type is abstract, then the abstractness
          of the inherited operation is different for nonabstract record
          extensions than for nonabstract private extensions (see *note
          3.9.3::).

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

17
The elaboration of a private_type_declaration creates a partial view of
a type.  The elaboration of a private_extension_declaration elaborates
the <ancestor_>subtype_indication, and creates a partial view of a type.

     NOTES

18
     5  The partial view of a type as declared by a
     private_type_declaration is defined to be a composite view (in
     *note 3.2::).  The full view of the type might or might not be
     composite.  A private extension is also composite, as is its full
     view.

19/2
     6  {<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>} Declaring a private type with an
     unknown_discriminant_part is a way of preventing clients from
     creating uninitialized objects of the type; they are then forced to
     initialize each object by calling some operation declared in the
     visible part of the package.

19.a
          Discussion: Packages with private types are analogous to
          generic packages with formal private types, as follows: The
          declaration of a package-private type is like the declaration
          of a formal private type.  The visible part of the package is
          like the generic formal part; these both specify a contract
          (that is, a set of operations and other things available for
          the private type).  The private part of the package is like an
          instantiation of the generic; they both give a
          full_type_declaration that specifies implementation details of
          the private type.  The clients of the package are like the
          body of the generic; usage of the private type in these places
          is restricted to the operations defined by the contract.

19.b
          In other words, being inside the package is like being outside
          the generic, and being outside the package is like being
          inside the generic; a generic is like an "inside-out" package.

19.c
          This analogy also works for private extensions in the same
          inside-out way.

19.d
          Many of the legality rules are defined with this analogy in
          mind.  See, for example, the rules relating to operations of
          [formal] derived types.

19.e
          The completion rules for a private type are intentionally
          quite similar to the matching rules for a generic formal
          private type.

19.f
          This analogy breaks down in one respect: a generic actual
          subtype is a subtype, whereas the full view for a private type
          is always a new type.  (We considered allowing the completion
          of a private_type_declaration to be a subtype_declaration, but
          the semantics just won't work.)  This difference is behind the
          fact that a generic actual type can be class-wide, whereas the
          completion of a private type always declares a specific type.

20/2
     7  {<AI95-00401AI95-00401>} The ancestor type specified in a
     private_extension_declaration and the parent type specified in the
     corresponding declaration of a record extension given in the
     private part need not be the same.  If the ancestor type is not an
     interface type, the parent type of the full view can be any
     descendant of the ancestor type.  In this case, for a primitive
     subprogram that is inherited from the ancestor type and not
     overridden, the formal parameter names and default expressions (if
     any) come from the corresponding primitive subprogram of the
     specified ancestor type, while the body comes from the
     corresponding primitive subprogram of the parent type of the full
     view.  See *note 3.9.2::.

20.1/2
     8  {<AI95-00401AI95-00401>} If the ancestor type specified in a
     private_extension_declaration is an interface type, the parent type
     can be any type so long as the full view is a descendant of the
     ancestor type.  The progenitor types specified in a
     private_extension_declaration and the progenitor types specified in
     the corresponding declaration of a record extension given in the
     private part need not be the same -- the only requirement is that
     the private extension and the record extension be descended from
     the same set of interfaces.

                              _Examples_

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

24.a
          The syntax for a private_type_declaration is augmented to
          allow the reserved word tagged.

24.b
          In Ada 83, a private type without discriminants cannot be
          completed with a type with discriminants.  Ada 95 allows the
          full view to have discriminants, so long as they have defaults
          (that is, so long as the first subtype is definite).  This
          change is made for uniformity with generics, and because the
          rule as stated is simpler and easier to remember than the Ada
          83 rule.  In the original version of Ada 83, the same
          restriction applied to generic formal private types.  However,
          the restriction was removed by the ARG for generics.  In order
          to maintain the "generic contract/private type contract
          analogy" discussed above, we have to apply the same rule to
          package-private types.  Note that a private untagged type
          without discriminants can be completed with a tagged type with
          discriminants only if the full view is constrained, because
          discriminants of tagged types cannot have defaults.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

24.c
          RM83-7.4.1(4), "Within the specification of the package that
          declares a private type and before the end of the
          corresponding full type declaration, a restriction
          applies....", is subsumed (and corrected) by the rule that a
          type shall be completely defined before it is frozen, and the
          rule that the parent type of a derived type declaration shall
          be completely defined, unless the derived type is a private
          extension.

7.3.1 Private Operations
------------------------

1
[For a type declared in the visible part of a package or generic
package, certain operations on the type do not become visible until
later in the package -- either in the private part or the body.  Such
<private operations> are available only inside the declarative region of
the package or generic package.]

                          _Static Semantics_

2
The predefined operators that exist for a given type are determined by
the classes to which the type belongs.  For example, an integer type has
a predefined "+" operator.  In most cases, the predefined operators of a
type are declared immediately after the definition of the type; the
exceptions are explained below.  Inherited subprograms are also
implicitly declared immediately after the definition of the type, except
as stated below.

3/3
{<8652/00198652/0019>} {<AI95-00033-01AI95-00033-01>}
{<AI05-0029-1AI05-0029-1>} For a composite type, the characteristics
(see *note 7.3::) of the type are determined in part by the
characteristics of its component types.  At the place where the
composite type is declared, the only characteristics of component types
used are those characteristics visible at that place.  If later
immediately within the declarative region in which the composite type is
declared additional characteristics become visible for a component type,
then any corresponding characteristics become visible for the composite
type.  Any additional predefined operators are implicitly declared at
that place.  If there is no such place, then additional predefined
operators are not declared at all, but they still exist.

3.a/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0029-1AI05-0029-1>} We say that the predefined
          operators exist because they can emerge in some unusual
          generic instantiations.  See *note 12.5::.

3.b/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0029-1AI05-0029-1>} The predefined
          operators for the underlying class of a type always exist,
          even if there is no visibility on that underlying class.  This
          rule is simply about where (if ever) those operators are
          declared (and thus become usable).  The "additional predefined
          operators" defined by this rule are any that are not declared
          at the point of the original type declaration.  For instance,
          a type derived from a private type whose full type is type
          String always will have a ">" operator, but where that
          operator is declared (and thus whether it is visible) will
          depend on the visibility of the full type of the parent type.

4/1
{<8652/00198652/0019>} {<AI95-00033-01AI95-00033-01>} The corresponding
rule applies to a type defined by a derived_type_definition, if there is
a place immediately within the declarative region in which the type is
declared where additional characteristics of its parent type become
visible.

5/1
{<8652/00198652/0019>} {<AI95-00033-01AI95-00033-01>} [For example, an
array type whose component type is limited private becomes nonlimited if
the full view of the component type is nonlimited and visible at some
later place immediately within the declarative region in which the array
type is declared.  In such a case, the predefined "=" operator is
implicitly declared at that place, and assignment is allowed after that
place.]

5.1/3
{<AI05-0115-1AI05-0115-1>} {<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>} A type is a
<descendant> of the full view of some ancestor of its parent type only
if the current view it has of its parent is a descendant of the full
view of that ancestor.  More generally, at any given place, a type is
descended from the same view of an ancestor as that from which the
current view of its parent is descended.  This view determines what
characteristics are inherited from the ancestor[, and, for example,
whether the type is considered to be a descendant of a record type, or a
descendant only through record extensions of a more distant ancestor].

5.2/4
{<AI05-0115-1AI05-0115-1>} {<AI12-0065-1AI12-0065-1>} [Furthermore, it
is possible for there to be places where a derived type is known to be
derived indirectly from an ancestor type, but is not a descendant of
even a partial view of the ancestor type, because the parent of the
derived type is not visibly a descendant of the ancestor.  In this case,
the derived type inherits no characteristics from that ancestor, but
nevertheless is within the derivation class of the ancestor for the
purposes of type conversion, the "covers" relationship, and matching
against a formal derived type.  In this case the derived type is
effectively a <descendant> of an incomplete view of the ancestor.]

5.a/3
          Discussion: Here is an example of this situation:

5.b/3
               package P is
                  type T is private;
                  C : constant T;
               private
                  type T is new Integer;
                  C : constant T := 42;
               end P;

5.c/4
               {<AI12-0065-1AI12-0065-1>} with P;
               package Q is
                   type T2 is new P.T;  -- <T2 is not a descendant of Integer>
               end Q;

5.d/4
               {<AI12-0065-1AI12-0065-1>} with Q;
               package P.Child is
                   type T3 is new Q.T2;
               private
                   -- <Here T3 is known to be indirectly derived from Integer, but inherits>
                   -- <no characteristics from Integer, since T2 inherits no characteristics>
                   -- <from Integer.>
                   -- <However, we allow an explicit conversion of T3 to/from Integer.>
                   -- <Hence, T3 is effectively a descendant of an "incomplete" view of Integer.>
                   Int : Integer := 52;
                   V : T3 := T3(P.C);  -- <Legal: conversion allowed>
                   W : T3 := T3(Int);  -- <Legal: conversion allowed>
                   X : T3 := T3(42);   -- <Error: T3 is not a numeric type>
                   Y : T3 := X + 1;    -- <Error: no visible "+" operator>
                   Z : T3 := T3(Integer(W) + 1);   -- <Legal: convert to Integer first>
               end P.Child;

6/3
{<8652/00198652/0019>} {<AI95-00033-01AI95-00033-01>}
{<AI05-0029-1AI05-0029-1>} Inherited primitive subprograms follow a
different rule.  For a derived_type_definition, each inherited primitive
subprogram is implicitly declared at the earliest place, if any,
immediately within the declarative region in which the type_declaration
occurs, but after the type_declaration, where the corresponding
declaration from the parent is visible.  If there is no such place, then
the inherited subprogram is not declared at all, but it still exists.
[For a tagged type, it is possible to dispatch to an inherited
subprogram that is not declared at all.]

7
For a private_extension_declaration, each inherited subprogram is
declared immediately after the private_extension_declaration if the
corresponding declaration from the ancestor is visible at that place.
Otherwise, the inherited subprogram is not declared for the private
extension, [though it might be for the full type].

7.a/1
          Reason: There is no need for the "earliest place immediately
          within the declarative region" business here, because a
          private_extension_declaration will be completed with a
          full_type_declaration, so we can hang the necessary private
          implicit declarations on the full_type_declaration.

7.b
          Discussion: The above rules matter only when the component
          type (or parent type) is declared in the visible part of a
          package, and the composite type (or derived type) is declared
          within the declarative region of that package (possibly in a
          nested package or a child package).

7.c
          Consider:

7.d
               package Parent is
                   type Root is tagged null record;
                   procedure Op1(X : Root);

7.e
                   type My_Int is range 1..10;
               private
                   procedure Op2(X : Root);

7.f
                   type Another_Int is new My_Int;
                   procedure Int_Op(X : My_Int);
               end Parent;

7.g
               with Parent; use Parent;
               package Unrelated is
                   type T2 is new Root with null record;
                   procedure Op2(X : T2);
               end Unrelated;

7.h
               package Parent.Child is
                   type T3 is new Root with null record;
                   --< Op1(T3) implicitly declared here.>

7.i
                   package Nested is
                       type T4 is new Root with null record;
                   private
                       ...
                   end Nested;
               private
                   --< Op2(T3) implicitly declared here.>
                   ...
               end Parent.Child;

7.j
               with Unrelated; use Unrelated;
               package body Parent.Child is
                   package body Nested is
                       --< Op2(T4) implicitly declared here.>
                   end Nested;

7.k
                   type T5 is new T2 with null record;
               end Parent.Child;

7.l
          Another_Int does not inherit Int_Op, because Int_Op does not
          "exist" at the place where Another_Int is declared.

7.m/1
          Type T2 inherits Op1 and Op2 from Root.  However, the
          inherited Op2 is never declared, because Parent.Op2 is never
          visible immediately within the declarative region of T2.  T2
          explicitly declares its own Op2, but this is unrelated to the
          inherited one -- it does not override the inherited one, and
          occupies a different slot in the type descriptor.

7.n
          T3 inherits both Op1 and Op2.  Op1 is implicitly declared
          immediately after the type declaration, whereas Op2 is
          declared at the beginning of the private part.  Note that if
          Child were a private child of Parent, then Op1 and Op2 would
          both be implicitly declared immediately after the type
          declaration.

7.o/1
          T4 is similar to T3, except that the earliest place
          immediately within the declarative region containing T4 where
          Root's Op2 is visible is in the body of Nested.

7.p
          If T3 or T4 were to declare a type-conformant Op2, this would
          override the one inherited from Root.  This is different from
          the situation with T2.

7.q
          T5 inherits Op1 and two Op2's from T2.  Op1 is implicitly
          declared immediately after the declaration of T5, as is the
          Op2 that came from Unrelated.Op2.  However, the Op2 that
          originally came from Parent.Op2 is never implicitly declared
          for T5, since T2's version of that Op2 is never visible
          (anywhere -- it never got declared either).

7.r
          For all of these rules, implicit private parts and bodies are
          assumed as needed.

7.s
          It is possible for characteristics of a type to be revealed in
          more than one place:

7.t
               package P is
                   type Comp1 is private;
               private
                   type Comp1 is new Boolean;
               end P;

7.u
               package P.Q is
                   package R is
                       type Comp2 is limited private;
                       type A is array(Integer range <>) of Comp2;
                   private
                       type Comp2 is new Comp1;
                       --< A becomes nonlimited here.>
                       --< "="(A, A) return Boolean is implicitly declared here.>
                       ...
                   end R;
               private
                   --< Now we find out what Comp1 really is, which reveals>
                   --< more information about Comp2, but we're not within>
                   --< the immediate scope of Comp2, so we don't do anything>
                   --< about it yet.>
               end P.Q;

7.v
               package body P.Q is
                   package body R is
                       --< Things like "xor"(A,A) return A are implicitly>
                       --< declared here.>
                   end R;
               end P.Q;

7.v.1/1
          {<8652/00198652/0019>} {<AI95-00033-01AI95-00033-01>} We say
          <immediately> within the declarative region in order that
          types do not gain operations within a nested scope.  Consider:

7.v.2/1
               package Outer is
                   package Inner is
                       type Inner_Type is private;
                   private
                       type Inner_Type is new Boolean;
                   end Inner;
                   type Outer_Type is array(Natural range <>) of Inner.Inner_Type;
               end Outer;

7.v.3/1
               package body Outer is
                   package body Inner is
                       -- At this point, we can see that Inner_Type is a Boolean type.
                       -- But we don't want Outer_Type to gain an "and" operator here.
                   end Inner;
               end Outer;

[The Class attribute is defined for tagged subtypes in *note 3.9::.  In
addition,] for every subtype S of an untagged private type whose full
view is tagged, the following attribute is defined:

9
S'Class
               Denotes the class-wide subtype corresponding to the full
               view of S. This attribute is allowed only from the
               beginning of the private part in which the full view is
               declared, until the declaration of the full view.  [After
               the full view, the Class attribute of the full view can
               be used.]

     NOTES

10
     9  Because a partial view and a full view are two different views
     of one and the same type, outside of the defining package the
     characteristics of the type are those defined by the visible part.
     Within these outside program units the type is just a private type
     or private extension, and any language rule that applies only to
     another class of types does not apply.  The fact that the full
     declaration might implement a private type with a type of a
     particular class (for example, as an array type) is relevant only
     within the declarative region of the package itself including any
     child units.

11
     The consequences of this actual implementation are, however, valid
     everywhere.  For example: any default initialization of components
     takes place; the attribute Size provides the size of the full view;
     finalization is still done for controlled components of the full
     view; task dependence rules still apply to components that are task
     objects.

12/2
     10  {<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>} Partial views provide
     initialization, membership tests, selected components for the
     selection of discriminants and inherited components, qualification,
     and explicit conversion.  Nonlimited partial views also allow use
     of assignment_statements.

13
     11  For a subtype S of a partial view, S'Size is defined (see *note
     13.3::).  For an object A of a partial view, the attributes A'Size
     and A'Address are defined (see *note 13.3::).  The Position,
     First_Bit, and Last_Bit attributes are also defined for
     discriminants and inherited components.

                              _Examples_

14
<Example of a type with private operations:>

15
     package Key_Manager is
        type Key is private;
        Null_Key : constant Key; --< a deferred constant declaration (see *note 7.4::)>
        procedure Get_Key(K : out Key);
        function "<" (X, Y : Key) return Boolean;
     private
        type Key is new Natural;
        Null_Key : constant Key := Key'First;
     end Key_Manager;

16
     package body Key_Manager is
        Last_Key : Key := Null_Key;
        procedure Get_Key(K : out Key) is
        begin
           Last_Key := Last_Key + 1;
           K := Last_Key;
        end Get_Key;

17
        function "<" (X, Y : Key) return Boolean is
        begin
           return Natural(X) < Natural(Y);
        end "<";
     end Key_Manager;

     NOTES

18
     12  <Notes on the example:> Outside of the package Key_Manager, the
     operations available for objects of type Key include assignment,
     the comparison for equality or inequality, the procedure Get_Key
     and the operator "<"; they do not include other relational
     operators such as ">=", or arithmetic operators.

19
     The explicitly declared operator "<" hides the predefined operator
     "<" implicitly declared by the full_type_declaration.  Within the
     body of the function, an explicit conversion of X and Y to the
     subtype Natural is necessary to invoke the "<" operator of the
     parent type.  Alternatively, the result of the function could be
     written as not (X >= Y), since the operator ">=" is not redefined.

20
     The value of the variable Last_Key, declared in the package body,
     remains unchanged between calls of the procedure Get_Key.  (See
     also the NOTES of *note 7.2::.)

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

20.a
          The phrase in RM83-7.4.2(7), "...after the full type
          declaration", doesn't work in the presence of child units, so
          we define that rule in terms of visibility.

20.b
          The definition of the Constrained attribute for private types
          has been moved to "Obsolescent Features."  (The Constrained
          attribute of an object has not been moved there.)

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

20.c/2
          {<8652/00188652/0018>} {<AI95-00033-01AI95-00033-01>}
          Corrigendum: Clarified when additional operations are
          declared.

20.d/2
          {<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>} Revised the note on operations
          of partial views to reflect that limited types do have an
          assignment operation, but not assignment_statements.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

20.e/3
          {<AI05-0029-1AI05-0029-1>} Correction: Revised the wording to
          say that predefined operations still exist even if they are
          never declared, because it is possible to reference them in a
          generic unit.

20.f/3
          {<AI05-0115-1AI05-0115-1>} Correction: Clarified that the
          characteristics of a descendant of a private type depend on
          the visibility of the full view of the direct ancestor.  This
          has to be the case (so that privacy is not violated), but it
          wasn't spelled out in earlier versions of Ada.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2012_

20.g/4
          {<AI12-0065-1AI12-0065-1>} Corrigendum: Clarified the
          clarification added by AI05-0115-1, as it turned out to not be
          that clear.  Hopefully this version is better.

7.3.2 Type Invariants
---------------------

1/4
{<AI05-0146-1AI05-0146-1>} {<AI12-0041-1AI12-0041-1>} For a private
type, private extension, or interface, the following language-defined
aspects may be specified with an aspect_specification (see *note

2/3
{<AI05-0146-1AI05-0146-1>} {<AI05-0250-1AI05-0250-1>} Type_Invariant
               This aspect shall be specified by an expression, called
               an <invariant expression>.  Type_Invariant may be
               specified on a private_type_declaration (*note 7.3:
               S0193.), on a private_extension_declaration (*note 7.3:
               S0194.), or on a full_type_declaration (*note 3.2.1:
               S0024.) that declares the completion of a private type or
               private extension.

2.a/3
          Aspect Description for Type_Invariant: A condition that must

          Reason: {<AI05-0254-1AI05-0254-1>} A class-wide type invariant
          cannot be hidden in the private part, as the creator of an
          extension needs to know about it in order to conform to it in
          any new or overriding operations.  On the other hand, a
          specific type invariant is not inherited, so that no operation
          outside of the original package needs to conform to it; thus
          there is no need for it to be visible.

aspect of a type <T>, the type of this current instance is interpreted
as though it had a (notional) type <NT> that is a visible formal derived
type whose ancestor type is <T>.[ The effect of this interpretation is
that the only operations that can be applied to this current instance

{<AI05-0290-1AI05-0290-1>} {<AI12-0150-1AI12-0150-1>} If one or more
invariant expressions apply to a nonabstract type <T>, then an invariant
check is performed at the following places, on the specified object(s):

10/4
   * {<AI12-0133-1AI12-0133-1>} After successful initialization of an
     object of type <T> by default (see *note 3.3.1::), the check is
     performed on the new object unless the partial view of <T> has
     unknown discriminants;

10.a/4
          Reason: {<AI12-0133-1AI12-0133-1>} The check applies
          everywhere, even in the package body, because default
          initialization has to work the same for clients as it does
          within the package.  As such, checks within the package are
          either harmless or will uncover a bug that could also happen
          to a client.  However, if the partial view of the type has
          unknown discriminants, no client of the package can declare a
          default-initialized object.  Therefore, no invariant check is
          needed, as all default initialized objects are necessarily
          inside the package.

10.1/4
   * {<AI12-0049-1AI12-0049-1>} After successful explicit initialization
     of the completion of a deferred constant with a part of type <T>,
     if the completion is inside the immediate scope of the full view of
     <T>, and the deferred constant is visible outside the immediate
     scope of <T>, the check is performed on the part(s) of type <T>;

11/3
   * After successful conversion to type <T>, the check is performed on
     the result of the conversion;

12/3
   * {<AI05-0146-1AI05-0146-1>} {<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>} For a view
     conversion, outside the immediate scope of <T>, that converts from
     a descendant of <T> (including <T> itself) to an ancestor of type
     <T> (other than <T> itself), a check is performed on the part of
     the object that is of type <T>:

13/3
             * after assigning to the view conversion; and

14/3
             * after successful return from a call that passes the view
               conversion as an in out or out parameter.

14.a/3
          Ramification: For a single view conversion that converts
          between distantly related types, this rule could be triggered
          for multiple types and thus multiple invariant checks may be
          needed.

14.b/3
          Implementation Note: {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} For calls to
          inherited subprograms (including dispatching calls), the
          implied view conversions mean that a wrapper is probably
          needed.  (See the Note at the bottom of this subclause for
          more on the model of checks for inherited subprograms.)

14.c/3
          For view conversions involving class-wide types, the exact
          checks needed may not be known at compile-time.  One way to
          deal with this is to have an implicit dispatching operation
          that is given the object to check and the tag of the target of
          the conversion, and which first checks if the passed tag is
          not for itself, and if not, checks the its invariant on the
          object and then calls the operation of its parent type.  If
          the tag is for itself, the operation is complete.

15/4
   * {<AI12-0146-1AI12-0146-1>} After a successful call on the Read or
     Input stream-oriented attribute of the type <T>, the check is
     performed on the object initialized by the attribute;

   * {<AI05-0146-1AI05-0146-1>} {<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>} An invariant

          {<AI12-0042-1AI12-0042-1>} is declared within the immediate
          scope of type <T> (or by an instance of a generic unit, and
          the generic is declared within the immediate scope of type
          <T>),

             * {<AI12-0044-1AI12-0044-1>} has a result with a part of

               an access-to-object parameter or result whose designated
               type has a part of type <T>, or

             * {<AI12-0042-1AI12-0042-1>} {<AI12-0044-1AI12-0044-1>} is
               a procedure or entry that has an in parameter with a part
               of type <T>,

19.a/4
          Discussion: We don't check in parameters for functions to
          avoid infinite recursion for calls to public functions
          appearing in invariant expressions.  Such function calls are
          unavoidable for class-wide invariants and likely for other
          invariants.  This is the simplest rule that avoids trouble,
          and functions are much more likely to be queries that don't
          modify their parameters than other callable entities.

19.5/4
        * {<AI12-0042-1AI12-0042-1>} and either:

19.6/4
             * <T> is a private type or a private extension and the
               subprogram or entry is visible outside the immediate
               scope of type <T> or overrides an inherited operation
               that is visible outside the immediate scope of <T>, or

19.7/4
             * <T> is a record extension, and the subprogram or entry is
               a primitive operation visible outside the immediate scope
               of type <T> or overrides an inherited operation that is
               visible outside the immediate scope of <T>.

20/3
     {<AI05-0146-1AI05-0146-1>} {<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>} The check is
     performed on each such part of type <T>.

20.1/4
   * {<AI12-0042-1AI12-0042-1>} For a view conversion to a class-wide
     type occurring within the immediate scope of <T>, from a specific
     type that is a descendant of <T> (including <T> itself), a check is
     performed on the part of the object that is of type <T>.

20.a/4
          Reason: Class-wide objects are treated as though they exist
          outside the scope of every type, and may be passed across
          package "boundaries" freely without further invariant checks.

21/4
{<AI05-0290-1AI05-0290-1>} {<AI12-0080-1AI12-0080-1>}
{<AI12-0159-1AI12-0159-1>} If performing checks is required by the
Type_Invariant or Type_Invariant'Class assertion policies (see *note
11.4.2::) in effect at the point of the corresponding aspect
specification applicable to a given type, then the respective invariant
expression is considered <enabled>.

21.a/3
          Ramification: If a class-wide invariant expression is enabled
          for a type, it remains enabled when inherited by descendants
          of that type, even if the policy in effect is Ignore for the
          inheriting type.

{<AI05-0289-1AI05-0289-1>} {<AI05-0290-1AI05-0290-1>} The invariant
check consists of the evaluation of each enabled invariant expression
that applies to <T>, on each of the objects specified above.  If any of
these evaluate to False, Assertions.Assertion_Error is raised at the
point of the object initialization, conversion, or call.  If a given
call requires more than one evaluation of an invariant expression,
either for multiple objects of a single type or for multiple types with
invariants, the evaluations are performed in an arbitrary order, and if
one of them evaluates to False, it is not specified whether the others
are evaluated.  Any invariant check is performed prior to copying back
any by-copy in out or out parameters.  Invariant checks, any
postcondition check, and any constraint or predicate checks associated
with in out or out parameters are performed in an arbitrary order.

22.1/4
{<AI12-0150-1AI12-0150-1>} {<AI12-0159-1AI12-0159-1>} For an invariant
check on a value of type <T1> based on a class-wide invariant expression
inherited from an ancestor type <T>, any operations within the invariant
expression that were resolved as primitive operations of the (notional)
formal derived type <NT> are bound to the corresponding operations of
type <T1> in the evaluation of the invariant expression for the check on
<T1>.

{<AI05-0250-1AI05-0250-1>} The invariant checks performed on a call are
determined by the subprogram or entry actually invoked, whether
directly, as part of a dispatching call, or as part of a call through an
access-to-subprogram value.

23.a/4
          Ramification: {<AI12-0149-1AI12-0149-1>} Invariant checks on
          subprogram return are not performed on objects that are
          accessible only through access values that are subcomponents
          of some other object.  It is also possible to call through an
          access-to-subprogram value and reach a subprogram body that
          has visibility on the full declaration of a type, from outside
          the immediate scope of the type.  No invariant checks will be
          performed if the designated subprogram is not itself
          externally visible.  These cases represent "holes" in the
          protection provided by invariant checks; but note that these
          holes cannot be caused by clients of the type <T> with the
          invariant.  The designer of the package has to declare a
          visible type with an access-to-<T> subcomponent and use it as
          a parameter or result to subprograms in the package, or pass
          the client an access-to-subprogram value representing a
          private operation of the package.  In the absence of such
          things, all values that the client can see will be checked for
          a private type or extension.

23.b/3
          Implementation Note: The implementation might want to produce
          a warning if a private extension has an ancestor type that is
          a visible extension, and an invariant expression depends on
          the value of one of the components from a visible extension
          part.

     NOTES

24/3
     13  {<AI05-0250-1AI05-0250-1>} {<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>} For a
     call of a primitive subprogram of type <NT> that is inherited from
     type <T>, the specified checks of the specific invariants of both
     the types <NT> and <T> are performed.  For a call of a primitive
     subprogram of type <NT> that is overridden for type <NT>, the
     specified checks of the specific invariants of only type <NT> are
     performed.

24.a/3
          Proof: This follows from the definition of a call on an
          inherited subprogram as view conversions of the parameters of
          the type and a call to the original subprogram (see *note
          3.4::), along with the normal invariant checking rules.  In
          particular, the call to the original subprogram takes care of
          any checks needed on type <T>, and the checks required on view
          conversions take care of any checks needed on type <NT>,
          specifically on in out and out parameters.  We require this in
          order that the semantics of an explicitly defined wrapper that
          does nothing but call the original subprogram is the same as
          that of an inherited subprogram.

          Type_Invariant aspects are new.

                    _Inconsistencies With Ada 2012_

24.c/4
          {<AI12-0042-1AI12-0042-1>} Corrigendum: Clarified the
          definition of when invariant checks occur for inherited
          subprograms.  This might cause checks to be added or removed
          in some cases.  These are all rare cases involving class-wide
          type invariants and either record extensions or multiple
          levels of derivation.  Additionally, implementations probably
          make the checks as the intent seems clear, even though the
          formal language did not include them.  So we do not expect
          this to be a problem in practice.

24.d/4
          {<AI12-0042-1AI12-0042-1>} Corrigendum: Added invariant checks
          for conversions to class-wide types.  This might cause an
          invariant check to fail in some cases where they would not be
          made in the original definition of Ada 2012.  Such cases
          represent a hole where a value that fails an invariant could
          "leak out" of a package, and as such will detect far more bugs
          than it causes.

24.e/4
          {<AI12-0044-1AI12-0044-1>} Corrigendum: Removed the invariant
          check for in parameters of functions, so that typical
          invariants don't cause infinite recursion.  This is strictly
          inconsistent, as the Ada 2012 definition has this check;
          therefore, programs could depend on Assertion_Error being
          raised upon the return from some call on a public function.
          However, as the intent of assertion checking is to uncover
          bugs, a program that depends on a bug occurring seems very
          unlikely.

24.f/4
          {<AI12-0049-1AI12-0049-1>} {<AI12-0149-1AI12-0149-1>}
          Corrigendum: Added an invariant check for deferred constants
          and for access values returned from functions, so they cannot
          be used to "leak" values that violate the invariant from a
          package.  This is strictly inconsistent, as the Ada 2012
          definition is missing these checks; therefore, programs could
          depend on using values that violate an invariant outside of
          the package of definition.  These will not raise
          Assertion_Error in Ada 2012 as defined in the Ada 2012
          Standard, but ought to do so (as noted by this change).  As
          these are a violation of the intent of invariants, we think
          that this change will mainly reveal bugs rather than cause
          them.

24.g/4
          {<AI12-0150-1AI12-0150-1>} {<AI12-0159-1AI12-0159-1>}
          Corrigendum: Eliminated unintentional redispatching from
          class-wide type invariants.  This means that a different body
          might be evaluated for a type invariant check where the value
          has a different tag than that of the type.  The change means
          that the behavior of Type_Invariant and Type_Invariant'Class
          will be the same for a particular subprogram, and that the
          known behavior of the operations can be assumed.  We expect
          that this change will primarily fix bugs, as it will make
          class-wide type invariants work more like expected.  In the
          case where redispatching is desired, an explicit conversion to
          a class-wide type can be used.

                   _Incompatibilities With Ada 2012_

24.h/4
          {<AI12-0042-1AI12-0042-1>} Corrigendum: A private operation
          that is inherited in the visible part of a package to which a
          class-wide invariant applies now requires overriding.  This is
          a very unlikely situation, and will prevent problems with
          invariant checks being added to routines that assume that they
          don't need them.

                       _Extensions to Ada 2012_

24.i/4
          {<AI12-0041-1AI12-0041-1>} Corrigendum: Class-wide type
          invariants can now be specified on interfaces as well as
          private types.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2012_

24.j/4
          {<AI12-0133-1AI12-0133-1>} Corrigendum: Clarified that all
          objects that are initialized by default should have an
          invariant check, and added an exception for types with unknown
          discriminants, as in that case the client cannot declare a
          default-initialized object.  This exception to the check is
          formally inconsistent, but since it is only removing an
          assertion failure that occurs where no assertion should be
          checked anyway (meaning it's more likely to fix a bug than
          cause one), and programs depending on assertion failure should
          be very rare outside of test cases, we don't document this as
          inconsistent.

deferred constant declaration is called a <deferred constant>.  [Unless
the Import aspect (see *note B.1::) is True for a deferred constant
declaration, the ] deferred constant declaration requires a completion,
which shall be a full constant declaration (called the <full
declaration> of the deferred constant).  

2.a
          Proof: The first sentence is redundant, as it is stated
          officially in *note 3.3.1::.

2.b/3
          {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} {<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>} The
          first part of the last sentence is redundant, as no imported
          entity may have a completion, as stated in *note B.1::.

3
A deferred constant declaration that is completed by a full constant
declaration shall occur immediately within the visible part of a
package_specification.  For this case, the following additional rules
apply to the corresponding full declaration:

4
   * The full declaration shall occur immediately within the private
     part of the same package;

5/2
   * {<AI95-00385-01AI95-00385-01>} The deferred and full constants
     shall have the same type, or shall have statically matching
     anonymous access subtypes;

5.a/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00385-01AI95-00385-01>} This implies that
          both the deferred declaration and the full declaration have to
          have a subtype_indication or access_definition rather than an
          array_type_definition, because each array_type_definition
          would define a new type.

6/3
   * {<AI95-00385-01AI95-00385-01>} {<AI05-0062-1AI05-0062-1>}
     {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} If the deferred constant declaration
     includes a subtype_indication <S> that defines a constrained
     subtype, then the constraint defined by the subtype_indication in
     the full declaration shall match the constraint defined by <S>
     statically.[ On the other hand, if the subtype of the deferred
     constant is unconstrained, then the full declaration is still
     allowed to impose a constraint.  The constant itself will be
     constrained, like all constants;]

7/2
   * {<AI95-00231-01AI95-00231-01>} If the deferred constant declaration
     includes the reserved word aliased, then the full declaration shall
     also;

7.a
          Ramification: On the other hand, the full constant can be
          aliased even if the deferred constant is not.

7.1/2
   * {<AI95-00231-01AI95-00231-01>} If the subtype of the deferred
     constant declaration excludes null, the subtype of the full
     declaration shall also exclude null.

7.a.1/2
          Ramification: On the other hand, the full constant can exclude
          null even if the deferred constant does not.  But that can
          only happen for a subtype_indication, as anonymous access
          types are required to statically match (which includes any
          null_exclusion).

8/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} [A deferred constant declaration for which
the Import aspect is True need not appear in the visible part of a
package_specification, and has no full constant declaration.]

9/2
{<AI95-00256-01AI95-00256-01>} The completion of a deferred constant
declaration shall occur before the constant is frozen (see *note
13.14::).

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

10/3
{<AI05-0004-1AI05-0004-1>} The elaboration of a deferred constant
declaration elaborates the subtype_indication, access_definition, or
(only allowed in the case of an imported constant) the
array_type_definition.

10.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0004-1AI05-0004-1>} For nonimported
          constants, these elaborations cannot require any code or
          checks for a legal program, because the given
          subtype_indication has to be indefinite or statically match
          that of the full constant, meaning that either it is a
          subtype_mark or it has static constraints.  If the deferred
          constant instead has an access_definition, the designated
          subtype must be a subtype_mark.  We still say that these are
          elaborated, however, because part of elaboration is creating
          the type, which is clearly needed for access_definitions.  (A
          deferred constant and its full constant have different types
          when they are specified by an access_definition, although
          there is no visible effect of these types being different as
          neither can be named.)

     NOTES

11
     14  The full constant declaration for a deferred constant that is
     of a given private type or private extension is not allowed before
     the corresponding full_type_declaration.  This is a consequence of
     the freezing rules for types (see *note 13.14::).

11.a
          Ramification: Multiple or single declarations are allowed for
          the deferred and the full declarations, provided that the
          equivalent single declarations would be allowed.

11.b
          Deferred constant declarations are useful for declaring
          constants of private views, and types with components of
          private views.  They are also useful for declaring
          access-to-constant objects that designate variables declared
          in the private part of a package.

                              _Examples_

<Examples of deferred constant declarations:>

                                   --< see *note B.1::>

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

14.a
          In Ada 83, a deferred constant is required to be of a private
          type declared in the same visible part.  This restriction is
          removed for Ada 95; deferred constants can be of any type.

14.b
          In Ada 83, a deferred constant declaration was not permitted
          to include a constraint, nor the reserved word aliased.

14.c
          In Ada 83, the rules required conformance of type marks; here
          we require static matching of subtypes if the deferred
          constant is constrained.

14.d
          A deferred constant declaration can be completed with a pragma
          Import.  Such a deferred constant declaration need not be
          within a package_specification.

14.e
          The rules for too-early uses of deferred constants are
          modified in Ada 95 to allow more cases, and catch all errors
          at compile time.  This change is necessary in order to allow
          deferred constants of a tagged type without violating the
          principle that for a dispatching call, there is always an
          implementation to dispatch to.  It has the beneficial side
          effect of catching some Ada-83-erroneous programs at compile
          time.  The new rule fits in well with the new freezing-point
          rules.  Furthermore, we are trying to convert undefined-value
          problems into bounded errors, and we were having trouble for
          the case of deferred constants.  Furthermore, uninitialized
          deferred constants cause trouble for the shared variable /
          tasking rules, since they are really variable, even though
          they purport to be constant.  In Ada 95, they cannot be
          touched until they become constant.

14.f
          Note that we do not consider this change to be an upward
          incompatibility, because it merely changes an erroneous
          execution in Ada 83 into a compile-time error.

14.g
          The Ada 83 semantics are unclear in the case where the full
          view turns out to be an access type.  It is a goal of the
          language design to prevent uninitialized access objects.  One
          wonders if the implementation is required to initialize the
          deferred constant to null, and then initialize it (again!)  to
          its real value.  In Ada 95, the problem goes away.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

14.h/3
          {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} Since deferred constants can now be
          of a nonprivate type, we have made this a stand-alone
          subclause, rather than a subclause of *note 7.3::, "*note
          7.3:: Private Types and Private Extensions".

14.i
          Deferred constant declarations used to have their own syntax,
          but now they are simply a special case of object_declarations.

                        _Extensions to Ada 95_

14.j/2
          {<AI95-00385-01AI95-00385-01>} Deferred constants were
          enhanced to allow the use of anonymous access types in them.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

14.k/2
          {<AI95-00231-01AI95-00231-01>} Added matching rules for
          subtypes that exclude null.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

14.l/3
          {<AI05-0062-1AI05-0062-1>} Correction: Corrected rules so that
          the intent that a full constant may have a null exclusion even
          if the deferred constant does not is actually met.

7.5 Limited Types
=================

1/2
{<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>} [A limited type is (a view of) a type for
which copying (such as for an assignment_statement) is not allowed.  A
nonlimited type is a (view of a) type for which copying is allowed.]

1.a
          Discussion: The concept of the <value> of a limited type is
          difficult to define, since the abstract value of a limited
          type often extends beyond its physical representation.  In
          some sense, values of a limited type cannot be divorced from
          their object.  The value <is> the object.

1.b/2
          {<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>} In Ada 83, in the two places
          where limited types were defined by the language, namely tasks
          and files, an implicit level of indirection was implied by the
          semantics to avoid the separation of the value from an
          associated object.  In Ada 95, most limited types are passed
          by reference, and even return-ed by reference.  In Ada 2005,
          most limited types are built-in-place upon return, rather than
          returned by reference.  Thus the object "identity" is part of
          the logical value of most limited types.

1.c/2
          To be honest: {<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>}
          {<AI95-00419-01AI95-00419-01>} For a limited partial view
          whose full view is nonlimited, copying is possible on
          parameter passing and function return.  To prevent any copying
          whatsoever, one should make both the partial <and> full views
          limited.

1.d/2
          Glossary entry: A limited type is a type for which copying
          (such as in an assignment_statement) is not allowed.  A
          nonlimited type is a type for which copying is allowed.

                           _Legality Rules_

2/2
{<AI95-00419-01AI95-00419-01>} If a tagged record type has any limited
components, then the reserved word limited shall appear in its
record_type_definition.  [If the reserved word limited appears in the
definition of a derived_type_definition, its parent type and any
progenitor interfaces shall be limited.]

2.a.1/2
          Proof: {<AI95-00419-01AI95-00419-01>} The rule about the
          parent type being required to be limited can be found in *note
          3.4::.  Rules about progenitor interfaces can be found in
          *note 3.9.4::, specifically, a nonlimited interface can appear
          only on a nonlimited type.  We repeat these rules here to
          gather these scattered rules in one obvious place.

2.a
          Reason: This prevents tagged limited types from becoming
          nonlimited.  Otherwise, the following could happen:

2.b
               package P is
                   type T is limited private;
                   type R is tagged
                       record --< Illegal!>
                              --< This should say "limited record".>
                           X : T;
                       end record;
               private
                   type T is new Integer; --< R becomes nonlimited here.>
               end P;

2.c/2
               package Q is
                   type R2 is new R with
                       record
                           Y : Some_Task_Type;
                       end record;
               end Q;

2.d/2
          {<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} If the above were legal, then
          assignment would be defined for R'Class in the body of P,
          which is bad news, given the task.

2.1/3
{<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>} {<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>}
{<AI05-0147-1AI05-0147-1>} In the following contexts, an expression of a
limited type is not permitted unless it is an aggregate, a
function_call, a parenthesized expression or qualified_expression whose
operand is permitted by this rule, or a conditional_expression all of
whose <dependent_>expressions are permitted by this rule:

2.2/2
   * the initialization expression of an object_declaration (see *note
     3.3.1::)

2.3/2
   * the default_expression of a component_declaration (see *note 3.8::)

2.4/2
   * the expression of a record_component_association (see *note
     4.3.1::)

2.5/2
   * the expression for an ancestor_part of an extension_aggregate (see
     *note 4.3.2::)

2.6/2
   * an expression of a positional_array_aggregate or the expression of
     an array_component_association (see *note 4.3.3::)

2.7/2
   * the qualified_expression of an initialized allocator (see *note
     4.8::)

2.8/2
   * the expression of a return statement (see *note 6.5::)

2.9/4
   * {<AI05-0177-1AI05-0177-1>} {<AI12-0157-1AI12-0157-1>} the return
     expression of an expression function (see *note 6.8::)

2.10/3
   * the default_expression or actual parameter for a formal object of
     mode in (see *note 12.4::)

2.e/2
          Discussion: All of these contexts normally require copying; by
          restricting the uses as above, we can require the new object
          to be built-in-place.

                          _Static Semantics_

3/3
{<AI95-00419-01AI95-00419-01>} {<AI05-0178-1AI05-0178-1>} A view of a
type is <limited> if it is one of the following:

4/2
   * {<AI95-00411-01AI95-00411-01>} {<AI95-00419-01AI95-00419-01>} a
     type with the reserved word limited, synchronized, task, or
     protected in its definition;

4.a
          Ramification: Note that there is always a "definition,"
          conceptually, even if there is no syntactic category called
          "..._definition".

4.b/2
          {<AI95-00419-01AI95-00419-01>} This includes interfaces of the
          above kinds, derived types with the reserved word limited, as
          well as task and protected types.

5/3
   * {<AI95-00419-01AI95-00419-01>} {<AI05-0087-1AI05-0087-1>} a
     class-wide type whose specific type is limited;

6/2
   * {<AI95-00419-01AI95-00419-01>} a composite type with a limited
     component;

6.1/3
   * {<AI05-0178-1AI05-0178-1>} an incomplete view;

6.2/2
   * {<AI95-00419-01AI95-00419-01>} a derived type whose parent is
     limited and is not an interface.

6.a/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00419-01AI95-00419-01>} Limitedness is
          not inherited from interfaces; it must be explicitly specified
          when the parent is an interface.

6.b/2
          To be honest: {<AI95-00419-01AI95-00419-01>} A derived type
          can become nonlimited if limited does not appear and the
          derivation takes place in the visible part of a child package,
          and the parent type is nonlimited as viewed from the private
          part or body of the child package.

6.c/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00419-01AI95-00419-01>} We considered a rule
          where limitedness was always inherited from the parent for
          derived types, but in the case of a type whose parent is an
          interface, this meant that the first interface is treated
          differently than other interfaces.  It also would have forced
          users to declare dummy nonlimited interfaces just to get the
          limitedness right.  We also considered a syntax like not
          limited to specify nonlimitedness when the parent was limited,
          but that was unsavory.  The rule given is more uniform and
          simpler to understand.

6.d/2
          {<AI95-00419-01AI95-00419-01>} The rules for interfaces are
          asymmetrical, but the language is not: if the parent interface
          is limited, the presence of the word limited determines the
          limitedness, and nonlimited progenitors are illegal by the
          rules in *note 3.9.4:: if limited is present.  If the parent
          interface is nonlimited, the word limited is illegal by the
          rules in *note 3.4::.  The net effect is that the order of the
          interfaces doesn't matter.

7
Otherwise, the type is nonlimited.

8
[There are no predefined equality operators for a limited type.]

8.1/3
{<AI05-0052-1AI05-0052-1>} A type is <immutably limited> if it is one of
the following:

8.2/3
   * An explicitly limited record type;

8.3/3
   * {<AI05-0217-1AI05-0217-1>} A record extension with the reserved
     word limited;

8.4/3
   * A nonformal limited private type that is tagged or has at least one
     access discriminant with a default_expression;

8.a/3
          Reason: The full type in both of these cases must necessarily
          be immutably limited.  We need to include private types as
          much as possible so that we aren't unintentionally
          discouraging the use of private types.

8.5/3
   * A task type, a protected type, or a synchronized interface;

8.6/3
   * A type derived from an immutably limited type.

8.b/3
          Discussion: An immutably limited type is a type that cannot
          become nonlimited subsequently in a private part or in a child
          unit.  If a view of the type makes it immutably limited, then
          no copying (assignment) operations are ever available for
          objects of the type.  This allows other properties; for
          instance, it is safe for such objects to have access
          discriminants that have defaults or designate other limited
          objects.

8.c/3
          Ramification: A nonsynchronized limited interface type is not
          immutably limited; a type derived from it can be nonlimited.

8.7/3
{<AI05-0052-1AI05-0052-1>} A descendant of a generic formal limited
private type is presumed to be immutably limited except within the body
of a generic unit or a body declared within the declarative region of a
generic unit, if the formal type is declared within the formal part of
the generic unit.

8.d/3
          Ramification: In an instance, a type is descended from the
          actual type corresponding to the formal, and all rules are
          rechecked in the specification.  Bodies are excepted so that
          we assume the worst there; the complex wording is required to
          handle children of generics and unrelated bodies properly.

     NOTES

9/3
     15  {<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>} {<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>}
     {<AI05-0067-1AI05-0067-1>} While it is allowed to write
     initializations of limited objects, such initializations never copy
     a limited object.  The source of such an assignment operation must
     be an aggregate or function_call, and such aggregates and
     function_calls must be built directly in the target object (see
     *note 7.6::).

9.a/2
          To be honest: This isn't quite true if the type can become
          nonlimited (see below); function_calls only are required to be
          build-in-place for "really" limited types.

     <Paragraphs 10 through 15 were deleted.>

16
     16  As illustrated in *note 7.3.1::, an untagged limited type can
     become nonlimited under certain circumstances.

16.a
          Ramification: Limited private types do not become nonlimited;
          instead, their full view can be nonlimited, which has a
          similar effect.

16.b
          It is important to remember that a single nonprivate type can
          be both limited and nonlimited in different parts of its
          scope.  In other words, "limited" is a property that depends
          on where you are in the scope of the type.  We don't call this
          a "view property" because there is no particular declaration
          to declare the nonlimited view.

16.c
          Tagged types never become nonlimited.

                              _Examples_

17
<Example of a package with a limited type:>

18
     package IO_Package is
        type File_Name is limited private;

19
        procedure Open (F : in out File_Name);
        procedure Close(F : in out File_Name);
        procedure Read (F : in File_Name; Item : out Integer);
        procedure Write(F : in File_Name; Item : in  Integer);
     private
        type File_Name is
           limited record
              Internal_Name : Integer := 0;
           end record;
     end IO_Package;

20
     package body IO_Package is
        Limit : constant := 200;
        type File_Descriptor is record  ...  end record;
        Directory : array (1 .. Limit) of File_Descriptor;
        ...
        procedure Open (F : in out File_Name) is  ...  end;
        procedure Close(F : in out File_Name) is  ...  end;
        procedure Read (F : in File_Name; Item : out Integer) is ... end;
        procedure Write(F : in File_Name; Item : in  Integer) is ... end;
     begin
        ...
     end IO_Package;

     NOTES

21
     17  <Notes on the example:> In the example above, an outside
     subprogram making use of IO_Package may obtain a file name by
     calling Open and later use it in calls to Read and Write.  Thus,
     outside the package, a file name obtained from Open acts as a kind
     of password; its internal properties (such as containing a numeric
     value) are not known and no other operations (such as addition or
     comparison of internal names) can be performed on a file name.
     Most importantly, clients of the package cannot make copies of
     objects of type File_Name.

22
     This example is characteristic of any case where complete control
     over the operations of a type is desired.  Such packages serve a
     dual purpose.  They prevent a user from making use of the internal
     structure of the type.  They also implement the notion of an
     encapsulated data type where the only operations on the type are
     those given in the package specification.

23/2
     {<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>} The fact that the full view of
     File_Name is explicitly declared limited means that parameter
     passing will always be by reference and function results will
     always be built directly in the result object (see *note 6.2:: and
     *note 6.5::).

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

23.a
          The restrictions in RM83-7.4.4(4), which disallowed out
          parameters of limited types in certain cases, are removed.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

23.b/3
          {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} Since limitedness and privateness
          are orthogonal in Ada 95 (and to some extent in Ada 83), this
          is now its own subclause rather than being a subclause of
          *note 7.3::, "*note 7.3:: Private Types and Private
          Extensions".

          Limited types now have an assignment operation, but its use is
          restricted such that all uses are build-in-place.  This is
          accomplished by restricting uses to aggregates and
          function_calls.  Aggregates were not allowed to have a limited
          type in Ada 95, which causes a compatibility issue discussed
          in *note 4.3::, "*note 4.3:: Aggregates".  Compatibility
          issues with return statements for limited function_calls are
          discussed in *note 6.5::, "*note 6.5:: Return Statements".

          Rewrote the definition of limited to ensure that interfaces
          are covered, but that limitedness is not inherited from
          interfaces.  Derived types that explicitly include limited are
          now also covered.

          Correction: Added a definition for immutably limited types, so
          that the fairly complex definition does not need to be
          repeated in rules elsewhere in the Standard.

          {<AI05-0067-1AI05-0067-1>} {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>}
          Correction: The built-in-place rules are consolidated in *note
          7.6::, and thus they are removed from this subclause.

23.g/3
          {<AI05-0087-1AI05-0087-1>} Correction: Fixed an oversight:
          class-wide types were never defined to be limited, even if
          their associated specific type is.  It is thought that this
          oversight was never implemented incorrectly by any compiler,
          thus we have not classified it as an incompatibility.

23.h/3
          {<AI05-0147-1AI05-0147-1>} Allowed conditional_expressions in
          limited constructor contexts -- we want to treat these as
          closely to parentheses as possible.

23.i/3
          {<AI05-0177-1AI05-0177-1>} Added wording so that expression
          functions can return limited entities.

23.j/3
          {<AI05-0178-1AI05-0178-1>} Correction: Added incomplete views
          to the list of reasons for a view of a type to be limited.
          This is not a change as the definition already was in *note
          3.10.1::.  But it is much better to have all of the reasons
          for limitedness together.

7.6 Assignment and Finalization
===============================

1
[ Three kinds of actions are fundamental to the manipulation of objects:
initialization, finalization, and assignment.  Every object is
initialized, either explicitly or by default, after being created (for
example, by an object_declaration or allocator).  Every object is
finalized before being destroyed (for example, by leaving a
subprogram_body containing an object_declaration, or by a call to an
instance of Unchecked_Deallocation).  An assignment operation is used as
part of assignment_statements, explicit initialization, parameter
passing, and other operations.  

2
Default definitions for these three fundamental operations are provided
by the language, but a <controlled> type gives the user additional
control over parts of these operations.  In particular, the user can
define, for a controlled type, an Initialize procedure which is invoked
immediately after the normal default initialization of a controlled
object, a Finalize procedure which is invoked immediately before
finalization of any of the components of a controlled object, and an
Adjust procedure which is invoked as the last step of an assignment to a
(nonlimited) controlled object.]

2.a
          Glossary entry: A controlled type supports user-defined
          assignment and finalization.  Objects are always finalized
          before being destroyed.

2.b/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>}
          {<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>} Here's the basic idea of
          initialization, value adjustment, and finalization, whether or
          not user defined: When an object is created, if it is
          explicitly assigned an initial value, the object is either
          built-in-place from an aggregate or function call (in which
          case neither Adjust nor Initialize is applied), or the
          assignment copies and adjusts the initial value.  Otherwise,
          Initialize is applied to it (except in the case of an
          aggregate as a whole).  An assignment_statement finalizes the
          target before copying in and adjusting the new value.
          Whenever an object goes away, it is finalized.  Calls on
          Initialize and Adjust happen bottom-up; that is, components
          first, followed by the containing object.  Calls on Finalize
          happen top-down; that is, first the containing object, and
          then its components.  These ordering rules ensure that any
          components will be in a well-defined state when Initialize,
          Adjust, or Finalize is applied to the containing object.

                          _Static Semantics_

3
The following language-defined library package exists:

4/3
     {<8652/00208652/0020>} {<AI95-00126-01AI95-00126-01>} {<AI05-0212-1AI05-0212-1>} package Ada.Finalization is

         pragma Pure(Finalization);

5/2
     {<AI95-00161-01AI95-00161-01>}     type Controlled is abstract tagged private;
         pragma Preelaborable_Initialization(Controlled);

6/2
     {<AI95-00348-01AI95-00348-01>}     procedure Initialize (Object : in out Controlled) is null;
         procedure Adjust     (Object : in out Controlled) is null;
         procedure Finalize   (Object : in out Controlled) is null;

7/2
     {<AI95-00161-01AI95-00161-01>}     type Limited_Controlled is abstract tagged limited private;
         pragma Preelaborable_Initialization(Limited_Controlled);

8/2
     {<AI95-00348-01AI95-00348-01>}     procedure Initialize (Object : in out Limited_Controlled) is null;
         procedure Finalize   (Object : in out Limited_Controlled) is null;
     private
         ... -- <not specified by the language>
     end Ada.Finalization;

9/2
{<AI95-00348-01AI95-00348-01>} A controlled type is a descendant of
Controlled or Limited_Controlled.  The predefined "=" operator of type
Controlled always returns True, [since this operator is incorporated
into the implementation of the predefined equality operator of types
derived from Controlled, as explained in *note 4.5.2::.]  The type
Limited_Controlled is like Controlled, except that it is limited and it
lacks the primitive subprogram Adjust.

9.a
          Discussion: We say "nonlimited controlled type" (rather than
          just "controlled type";) when we want to talk about
          descendants of Controlled only.

9.b
          Reason: We considered making Adjust and Finalize abstract.
          However, a reasonable coding convention is e.g.  for Finalize
          to always call the parent's Finalize after doing whatever work
          is needed for the extension part.  (Unlike CLOS, we have no
          way to do that automatically in Ada 95.)  For this to work,
          Finalize cannot be abstract.  In a generic unit, for a generic
          formal abstract derived type whose ancestor is Controlled or
          Limited_Controlled, calling the ancestor's Finalize would be
          illegal if it were abstract, even though the actual type might
          have a concrete version.

9.c
          Types Controlled and Limited_Controlled are abstract, even
          though they have no abstract primitive subprograms.  It is not
          clear that they need to be abstract, but there seems to be no
          harm in it, and it might make an implementation's life easier
          to know that there are no objects of these types -- in case
          the implementation wishes to make them "magic" in some way.

9.d/2
          {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} For Ada 2005, we considered
          making these types interfaces.  That would have the advantage
          of allowing them to be added to existing trees.  But that was
          rejected both because it would cause massive disruptions to
          existing implementations, and because it would be very
          incompatible due to the "no hidden interfaces" rule.  The
          latter rule would prevent a tagged private type from being
          completed with a derivation from Controlled or
          Limited_Controlled -- a very common idiom.

9.1/2
{<AI95-00360-01AI95-00360-01>} A type is said to <need finalization> if:

9.2/2
   * it is a controlled type, a task type or a protected type; or

9.3/3
   * {<AI05-0092-1AI05-0092-1>} it has a component whose type needs
     finalization; or

9.4/3
   * {<AI05-0013-1AI05-0013-1>} it is a class-wide type; or

9.5/3
   * {<AI05-0026-1AI05-0026-1>} it is a partial view whose full view
     needs finalization; or

9.6/2
   * it is one of a number of language-defined types that are explicitly
     defined to need finalization.

9.e/2
          Ramification: The fact that a type needs finalization does not
          require it to be implemented with a controlled type.  It just
          has to be recognized by the No_Nested_Finalization
          restriction.

9.f/2
          This property is defined for the type, not for a particular
          view.  That's necessary as restrictions look in private parts
          to enforce their restrictions; the point is to eliminate all
          controlled parts, not just ones that are visible.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

10/2
{<AI95-00373-01AI95-00373-01>} During the elaboration or evaluation of a
construct that causes an object to be initialized by default, for every
controlled subcomponent of the object that is not assigned an initial
value (as defined in *note 3.3.1::), Initialize is called on that
subcomponent.  Similarly, if the object that is initialized by default
as a whole is controlled, Initialize is called on the object.

11/2
{<8652/00218652/0021>} {<AI95-00182-01AI95-00182-01>}
{<AI95-00373-01AI95-00373-01>} For an extension_aggregate whose
ancestor_part is a subtype_mark denoting a controlled subtype, the
Initialize procedure of the ancestor type is called, unless that
Initialize procedure is abstract.

11.a
          Discussion: Example:

11.b
               type T1 is new Controlled with
                   record
                       ... --< some components might have defaults>
                   end record;

11.c
               type T2 is new Controlled with
                   record
                       X : T1; --< no default>
                       Y : T1 := ...; --< default>
                   end record;

11.d
               A : T2;
               B : T2 := ...;

11.e
          As part of the elaboration of A's declaration, A.Y is assigned
          a value; therefore Initialize is not applied to A.Y. Instead,
          Adjust is applied to A.Y as part of the assignment operation.
          Initialize is applied to A.X and to A, since those objects are
          not assigned an initial value.  The assignment to A.Y is not
          considered an assignment to A.

11.f
          For the elaboration of B's declaration, Initialize is not
          called at all.  Instead the assignment adjusts B's value; that
          is, it applies Adjust to B.X, B.Y, and B.

11.f.1/2
          {<8652/00218652/0021>} {<AI95-00182-01AI95-00182-01>}
          {<AI95-00373-01AI95-00373-01>} The ancestor_part of an
          extension_aggregate, <> in aggregates, and the return object
          of an extended_return_statement are handled similarly.

12
Initialize and other initialization operations are done in an arbitrary
order, except as follows.  Initialize is applied to an object after
initialization of its subcomponents, if any [(including both implicit
initialization and Initialize calls)].  If an object has a component
with an access discriminant constrained by a per-object expression,
Initialize is applied to this component after any components that do not
have such discriminants.  For an object with several components with
such a discriminant, Initialize is applied to them in order of their
component_declarations.  For an allocator, any task activations follow
all calls on Initialize.

12.a
          Reason: The fact that Initialize is done for subcomponents
          first allows Initialize for a composite object to refer to its
          subcomponents knowing they have been properly initialized.

12.b
          The fact that Initialize is done for components with access
          discriminants after other components allows the Initialize
          operation for a component with a self-referential access
          discriminant to assume that other components of the enclosing
          object have already been properly initialized.  For multiple
          such components, it allows some predictability.

13
When a target object with any controlled parts is assigned a value,
[either when created or in a subsequent assignment_statement,] the
<assignment operation> proceeds as follows:

14
   * The value of the target becomes the assigned value.

15
   * The value of the target is <adjusted.>

15.a
          Ramification: If any parts of the object are controlled, abort
          is deferred during the assignment operation.

16/3
{<AI05-0067-1AI05-0067-1>} To adjust the value of a composite object,
the values of the components of the object are first adjusted in an
arbitrary order, and then, if the object is nonlimited controlled,
Adjust is called.  Adjusting the value of an elementary object has no
effect[, nor does adjusting the value of a composite object with no
controlled parts.]

16.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0067-1AI05-0067-1>} Adjustment is never
          actually performed for values of an immutably limited type,
          since all assignment operations for such types are required to
          be built-in-place.  Even so, we still define adjustment for
          all types in order that the canonical semantics is
          well-defined.

16.b/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} The verbiage in the
          Initialize rule about access discriminants constrained by
          per-object expressions is not necessary here, since such types
          are either limited or do not have defaults, so the
          discriminant can only be changed by an assignment to an outer
          object.  Such an assignment could happen only before any
          adjustments or (if part of an outer Adjust) only after any
          inner (component) adjustments have completed.

17
For an assignment_statement, [ after the name and expression have been
evaluated, and any conversion (including constraint checking) has been
done,] an anonymous object is created, and the value is assigned into
it; [that is, the assignment operation is applied].  [(Assignment
includes value adjustment.)]  The target of the assignment_statement is
then finalized.  The value of the anonymous object is then assigned into
the target of the assignment_statement.  Finally, the anonymous object
is finalized.  [As explained below, the implementation may eliminate the
intermediate anonymous object, so this description subsumes the one
given in *note 5.2::, "*note 5.2:: Assignment Statements".]

17.a
          Reason: An alternative design for user-defined assignment
          might involve an Assign operation instead of Adjust:

17.b
               procedure Assign(Target : in out Controlled; Source : in out Controlled);

17.c
          Or perhaps even a syntax like this:

17.d
               procedure ":="(Target : in out Controlled; Source : in out Controlled);

17.e
          Assign (or ":=") would have the responsibility of doing the
          copy, as well as whatever else is necessary.  This would have
          the advantage that the Assign operation knows about both the
          target and the source at the same time -- it would be possible
          to do things like reuse storage belonging to the target, for
          example, which Adjust cannot do.  However, this sort of design
          would not work in the case of unconstrained discriminated
          variables, because there is no way to change the discriminants
          individually.  For example:

17.f
               type Mutable(D : Integer := 0) is
                   record
                       X : Array_Of_Controlled_Things(1..D);
                       case D is
                           when 17 => Y : Controlled_Thing;
                           when others => null;
                       end D;
                   end record;

17.g
          An assignment to an unconstrained variable of type Mutable can
          cause some of the components of X, and the component Y, to
          appear and/or disappear.  There is no way to write the Assign
          operation to handle this sort of case.

17.h
          Forbidding such cases is not an option -- it would cause
          generic contract model violations.

17.1/3
{<AI05-0067-1AI05-0067-1>} When a function call or aggregate is used to
initialize an object, the result of the function call or aggregate is an
anonymous object, which is assigned into the newly-created object.  For
such an assignment, the anonymous object might be <built in place>, in
which case the assignment does not involve any copying.  Under certain
circumstances, the anonymous object is required to be built in place.
In particular:

17.i/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0067-1AI05-0067-1>} We say assignment to
          built-in-place objects does not involve copying, which matches
          the intended implementation (see below).  Of course, the
          implementation can do any copying it likes, if it can make
          such copying semantically invisible (by patching up access
          values to point to the copy, and so forth).

17.2/3
   * If the full type of any part of the object is immutably limited,
     the anonymous object is built in place.

17.j/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0067-1AI05-0067-1>} We talk about the full
          types being immutably limited, as this is independent of the
          view of a type (in the same way that it is for determining the
          technique of parameter passing).  That is, privacy is ignored
          for this purpose.

17.k/3
          {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} {<AI05-0067-1AI05-0067-1>} For
          function calls, we only require building in place for
          immutably limited types.  These are the types that would have
          been return-by-reference types in Ada 95.  We limited the
          requirement because we want to minimize disruption to Ada 95
          implementations and users.

17.l/3
          To be honest: {<AI05-0232-1AI05-0232-1>} This is a dynamic
          property and is determined by the specific type of the parts
          of the actual object.  In particular, if a part has a
          class-wide type, the tag of the object might need to be
          examined in order to determine if build-in-place is required.
          However, we expect that most Ada implementations will
          determine this property at compile-time using some
          assume-the-worst algorithm in order to chose the appropriate
          method to implement a given call or aggregate.  In addition,
          there is no attribute or other method for a program to
          determine if a particular object has this property (or not),
          so there is no value to a more careful description of this
          rule.

17.3/3
   * In the case of an aggregate, if the full type of any part of the
     newly-created object is controlled, the anonymous object is built
     in place.

17.m/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0067-1AI05-0067-1>} This is necessary to
          prevent elaboration problems with deferred constants of
          controlled types.  Consider:

17.m.1/3
               package P is
                  type Dyn_String is private;
                  Null_String : constant Dyn_String;
                  ...
               private
                  type Dyn_String is new Ada.Finalization.Controlled with ...
                  procedure Finalize(X : in out Dyn_String);
                  procedure Adjust(X : in out Dyn_String);

                  Null_String : constant Dyn_String :=
                     (Ada.Finalization.Controlled with ...);
                  ...
               end P;

17.m.2/3
          When Null_String is elaborated, the bodies of Finalize and
          Adjust clearly have not been elaborated.  Without this rule,
          this declaration would necessarily raise Program_Error (unless
          the permissions given below are used by the implementation).

17.n/3
          Ramification: An aggregate with a controlled part used in the
          return expression of a simple_return_statement (*note 6.5:
          S0183.) has to be built in place in the anonymous return
          object, as this is similar to an object declaration.  (This is
          a change from Ada 95, but it is not an inconsistency as it
          only serves to restrict implementation choices.)  But this
          only covers the aggregate; a separate anonymous return object
          can still be used unless it too is required to be built in
          place.

17.o/3
          Similarly, an aggregate that has a controlled part but is not
          itself controlled and that is used to initialize an object
          also has to be built in place.  This is also a change from Ada
          95, but it is not an inconsistency as it only serves to
          restrict implementation choices.  This avoids problems if a
          type like Dyn_String (in the example above) is used as a
          component in a type used as a deferred constant in package P.

17.4/3
   * In other cases, it is unspecified whether the anonymous object is
     built in place.

17.p/3
          Reason: This is left unspecified so the implementation can use
          any appropriate criteria for determining when to build in
          place.  That includes making the decision on a call-by-call
          basis.  Reasonable programs will not care what decision is
          made here anyway.

17.5/3
{<AI05-0067-1AI05-0067-1>} Notwithstanding what this International
Standard says elsewhere, if an object is built in place:

17.6/3
   * Upon successful completion of the return statement or aggregate,
     the anonymous object <mutates into> the newly-created object; that
     is, the anonymous object ceases to exist, and the newly-created
     object appears in its place.

17.7/3
   * Finalization is not performed on the anonymous object.

17.8/3
   * Adjustment is not performed on the newly-created object.

17.9/3
   * All access values that designate parts of the anonymous object now
     designate the corresponding parts of the newly-created object.

17.10/3
   * All renamings of parts of the anonymous object now denote views of
     the corresponding parts of the newly-created object.

17.11/3
   * Coextensions of the anonymous object become coextensions of the
     newly-created object.

17.q/3
          To be honest: This "mutating" does not necessarily happen
          atomically with respect to abort and other tasks.  For
          example, if a function call is used as the parent part of an
          extension_aggregate, then the tag of the anonymous object (the
          function result) will be different from the tag of the
          newly-created object (the parent part of the
          extension_aggregate).  In implementation terms, this involves
          modifying the tag field.  If the current task is aborted
          during this modification, the object might become abnormal.
          Likewise, if some other task accesses the tag field during
          this modification, it constitutes improper use of shared
          variables, and is erroneous.

17.r/3
          Implementation Note: The intended implementation is that the
          anonymous object is allocated at the same address as the
          newly-created object.  Thus, no run-time action is required to
          cause all the access values and renamings to point to the
          right place.  They just point to the newly-created object,
          which is what the return object has magically "mutated into".

17.s/3
          There is no requirement that 'Address of the return object is
          equal to 'Address of the newly-created object, but that will
          be true in the intended implementation.

17.t/3
          For a function call, if the size of the newly-created object
          is known at the call site, the object is allocated there, and
          the address is implicitly passed to the function; the return
          object is created at that address.  Otherwise, a storage pool
          is implicitly passed to the function; the size is determined
          at the point of the return statement, and passed to the
          Allocate procedure.  The address returned by the storage pool
          is returned from the function, and the newly-created object
          uses that same address.  If the return statement is left
          without returning (via an exception or a goto, for example),
          then Deallocate is called.  The storage pool might be a dummy
          pool that represents "allocate on the stack".

17.u/3
          The Tag of the newly-created object may be different from that
          of the result object.  Likewise, the master and accessibility
          level may be different.

17.v/3
          An alternative implementation model might allow objects to
          move around to different addresses.  In this case, access
          values and renamings would need to be modified at run time.
          It seems that this model requires the full power of tracing
          garbage collection.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

18/3
{<AI05-0067-1AI05-0067-1>} An implementation is allowed to relax the
above rules for assignment_statements in the following ways:

18.a/3
          <This paragraph was deleted.>{<AI05-0067-1AI05-0067-1>}

18.b/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0067-1AI05-0067-1>} The relaxations apply
          only to nonlimited types, as assignment_statements are not
          allowed for limited types.  This is important so that the
          programmer can count on a stricter semantics for limited
          controlled types.

19/3
   * {<AI05-0067-1AI05-0067-1>} If an object is assigned the value of
     that same object, the implementation need not do anything.

19.a
          Ramification: In other words, even if an object is controlled
          and a combination of Finalize and Adjust on the object might
          have a net side effect, they need not be performed.

20/3
   * {<AI05-0067-1AI05-0067-1>} For assignment of a noncontrolled type,
     the implementation may finalize and assign each component of the
     variable separately (rather than finalizing the entire variable and
     assigning the entire new value) unless a discriminant of the
     variable is changed by the assignment.

20.a
          Reason: For example, in a slice assignment, an anonymous
          object is not necessary if the slice is copied
          component-by-component in the right direction, since array
          types are not controlled (although their components may be).
          Note that the direction, and even the fact that it's a slice
          assignment, can in general be determined only at run time.

20.b/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} This potentially
          breaks a single assignment operation into many, and thus abort
          deferral (see *note 9.8::) needs to last only across an
          individual component assignment when the component has a
          controlled part.  It is only important that the copy step is
          not separated (by an abort) from the adjust step, so aborts
          between component assignments is not harmful.

21/3
   * {<AI95-00147-01AI95-00147-01>} {<AI05-0067-1AI05-0067-1>} The
     implementation need not create an anonymous object if the value
     being assigned is the result of evaluating a name denoting an
     object (the source object) whose storage cannot overlap with the
     target.  If the source object might overlap with the target object,
     then the implementation can avoid the need for an intermediary
     anonymous object by exercising one of the above permissions and
     perform the assignment one component at a time (for an overlapping
     array assignment), or not at all (for an assignment where the
     target and the source of the assignment are the same object).

21.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} If the anonymous
          object is eliminated by this permission, there is no anonymous
          object to be finalized and thus the Finalize call on it is
          eliminated.

21.b/3
          {<AI95-00147-01AI95-00147-01>} {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} Note
          that if the anonymous object is eliminated but the new value
          is not built in place in the target object, that Adjust must
          be called directly on the target object as the last step of
          the assignment, since some of the subcomponents may be
          self-referential or otherwise position-dependent.  This Adjust
          can be eliminated only by using one of the following
          permissions.

22/2
{<AI95-00147-01AI95-00147-01>} Furthermore, an implementation is
permitted to omit implicit Initialize, Adjust, and Finalize calls and
associated assignment operations on an object of a nonlimited controlled
type provided that:

23/2
   * any omitted Initialize call is not a call on a user-defined
     Initialize procedure, and

23.a/2
          To be honest: This does not apply to any calls to a
          user-defined Initialize routine that happen to occur in an
          Adjust or Finalize routine.  It is intended that it is never
          necessary to look inside of an Adjust or Finalize routine to
          determine if the call can be omitted.

23.b/2
          Reason: We don't want to eliminate objects for which the
          Initialize might have side effects (such as locking a
          resource).

24/2
   * any usage of the value of the object after the implicit Initialize
     or Adjust call and before any subsequent Finalize call on the
     object does not change the external effect of the program, and

25/2
   * after the omission of such calls and operations, any execution of
     the program that executes an Initialize or Adjust call on an object
     or initializes an object by an aggregate will also later execute a
     Finalize call on the object and will always do so prior to
     assigning a new value to the object, and

26/2
   * the assignment operations associated with omitted Adjust calls are
     also omitted.

27/2
This permission applies to Adjust and Finalize calls even if the
implicit calls have additional external effects.

27.a/2
          Reason: The goal of the above permissions is to allow typical
          dead assignment and dead variable removal algorithms to work
          for nonlimited controlled types.  We require that "pairs" of
          Initialize/Adjust/Finalize operations are removed.  (These
          aren't always pairs, which is why we talk about "any execution
          of the program".)

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

27.b
          Controlled types and user-defined finalization are new to Ada
          95.  (Ada 83 had finalization semantics only for masters of
          tasks.)

                        _Extensions to Ada 95_

27.c/2
          {<AI95-00161-01AI95-00161-01>} Amendment Correction: Types
          Controlled and Limited_Controlled now have
          Preelaborable_Initialization, so that objects of types derived
          from these types can be used in preelaborated packages.

          {<8652/00208652/0020>} {<AI95-00126-01AI95-00126-01>}
          Corrigendum: Clarified that Ada.Finalization is a remote types
          package.

27.e/2
          {<8652/00218652/0021>} {<AI95-00182-01AI95-00182-01>}
          Corrigendum: Added wording to clarify that the default
          initialization (whatever it is) of an ancestor part is used.

27.f/2
          {<8652/00228652/0022>} {<AI95-00083-01AI95-00083-01>}
          Corrigendum: Clarified that Adjust is never called on an
          aggregate used for the initialization of an object or
          subaggregate, or passed as a parameter.

27.g/2
          {<AI95-00147-01AI95-00147-01>} Additional optimizations are
          allowed for nonlimited controlled types.  These allow
          traditional dead variable elimination to be applied to such
          types.

27.h/2
          {<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>} Corrected the build-in-place
          requirement for controlled aggregates to be consistent with
          the requirements for limited types.

27.i/2
          {<AI95-00348-01AI95-00348-01>} The operations of types
          Controlled and Limited_Controlled are now declared as null
          procedures (see *note 6.7::) to make the semantics clear (and
          to provide a good example of what null procedures can be used
          for).

27.j/2
          {<AI95-00360-01AI95-00360-01>} Types that need finalization
          are defined; this is used by the No_Nested_Finalization
          restriction (see *note D.7::, "*note D.7:: Tasking
          Restrictions").

27.k/2
          {<AI95-00373-01AI95-00373-01>} Generalized the description of
          objects that have Initialize called for them to say that it is
          done for all objects that are initialized by default.  This is
          needed so that all of the new cases are covered.

                       _Extensions to Ada 2005_

27.l/3
          {<AI05-0212-1AI05-0212-1>} Package Ada.Finalization now has
          Pure categorization, so it can be mentioned for any package.
          Note that this does not change the preelaborability of objects
          descended from Controlled and Limited_Controlled.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

27.m/3
          {<AI05-0013-1AI05-0013-1>} Correction: Eliminated coextensions
          from the "needs finalization" rules, as this cannot be
          determined in general in the compilation unit that declares
          the type.  (The designated type of the coextension may have
          been imported as a limited view.)  Uses of "needs
          finalization" need to ensure that coextensions are handled by
          other means (such as in No_Nested_Finalization - see *note
          D.7::) or that coextensions cannot happen.

27.n/3
          {<AI05-0013-1AI05-0013-1>} Correction: Corrected the "needs
          finalization" rules to include class-wide types, as a future
          extension can include a part that needs finalization.

27.o/3
          {<AI05-0026-1AI05-0026-1>} Correction: Corrected the "needs
          finalization" rules to clearly say that they ignore privacy.

27.p/3
          {<AI05-0067-1AI05-0067-1>} Correction: Changed "built in
          place" to Dynamic Semantics and centralized the rules here.
          This eliminates the fiction that built in place is just a
          combination of a permission and a requirement; it clearly has
          noticeable semantic effects.  This wording change is not
          intended to change the semantics of any correct Ada program.

* 7.6.1 ::    Completion and Finalization


File: aarm2012.info,  Node: 7.6.1,  Up: 7.6

7.6.1 Completion and Finalization
---------------------------------

1
[This subclause defines <completion> and <leaving> of the execution of
constructs and entities.  A <master> is the execution of a construct
that includes finalization of local objects after it is complete (and
after waiting for any local tasks -- see *note 9.3::), but before
leaving.  Other constructs and entities are left immediately upon
completion.  ]

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

2/2
{<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>} The execution of a construct or entity is
<complete> when the end of that execution has been reached, or when a
transfer of control (see *note 5.1::) causes it to be abandoned.  
Completion due to reaching the end of execution, or due to the transfer
of control of an exit_statement, return statement, goto_statement, or
requeue_statement or of the selection of a terminate_alternative is
<normal completion>.  Completion is <abnormal> otherwise [-- when
control is transferred out of a construct due to abort or the raising of
an exception].

2.a
          Discussion: Don't confuse the run-time concept of completion
          with the compile-time concept of completion defined in *note
          3.11.1::.

3/2
{<AI95-00162-01AI95-00162-01>} {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>} After
execution of a construct or entity is complete, it is <left>, meaning
that execution continues with the next action, as defined for the
execution that is taking place.  Leaving an execution happens
immediately after its completion, except in the case of a <master>: the
execution of a body other than a package_body; the execution of a
statement; or the evaluation of an expression, function_call, or range
that is not part of an enclosing expression, function_call, range, or
simple_statement (*note 5.1: S0147.) other than a
simple_return_statement (*note 6.5: S0183.).  A master is finalized
after it is complete, and before it is left.

          masters so that objects created by subprogram calls (in
          aggregates, allocators for anonymous access-to-object types,
          and so on) are finalized and have their tasks awaited before
          the expressions or statements are left.  Note that expressions
          like the condition of an if_statement are masters, because
          they are not enclosed by a simple_statement.  Similarly, a
          function_call which is renamed is a master, as it is not in a
          simple_statement (*note 5.1: S0147.).

3.b/2
          {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>} We have to include
          function_calls in the contexts that do not cause masters to
          occur so that expressions contained in a function_call (that
          is not part of an expression or simple_statement) do not
          individually become masters.  We certainly do not want the
          parameter expressions of a function_call to be separate
          masters, as they would then be finalized before the function
          is called.

3.c/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>} The fact that a
          function_call is a master does not change the accessibility of
          the return object denoted by the function_call; that depends
          on the use of the function_call.  The function_call is the
          master of any short-lived entities (such as aggregates used as
          parameters of types with task or controlled parts).

4
For the <finalization> of a master, dependent tasks are first awaited,
as explained in *note 9.3::.  Then each object whose accessibility level
is the same as that of the master is finalized if the object was
successfully initialized and still exists.  [These actions are performed
whether the master is left by reaching the last statement or via a
transfer of control.]  When a transfer of control causes completion of
an execution, each included master is finalized in order, from innermost
outward.

4.a
          Ramification: As explained in *note 3.10.2::, the set of
          objects with the same accessibility level as that of the
          master includes objects declared immediately within the
          master, objects declared in nested packages, objects created
          by allocators (if the ultimate ancestor access type is
          declared in one of those places) and subcomponents of all of
          these things.  If an object was already finalized by
          Unchecked_Deallocation, then it is not finalized again when
          the master is left.

4.b
          Note that any object whose accessibility level is deeper than
          that of the master would no longer exist; those objects would
          have been finalized by some inner master.  Thus, after leaving
          a master, the only objects yet to be finalized are those whose
          accessibility level is less deep than that of the master.

4.c
          To be honest: Subcomponents of objects due to be finalized are
          not finalized by the finalization of the master; they are
          finalized by the finalization of the containing object.

4.d
          Reason: We need to finalize subcomponents of objects even if
          the containing object is not going to get finalized because it
          was not fully initialized.  But if the containing object is
          finalized, we don't want to require repeated finalization of
          the subcomponents, as might normally be implied by the
          recursion in finalization of a master and the recursion in
          finalization of an object.

4.e
          To be honest: Formally, completion and leaving refer to
          executions of constructs or entities.  However, the standard
          sometimes (informally) refers to the constructs or entities
          whose executions are being completed.  Thus, for example, "the
          subprogram call or task is complete" really means "<the
          execution of> the subprogram call or task is complete."

5
For the <finalization> of an object:

6/3
   * {<AI05-0099-1AI05-0099-1>} If the full type of the object is an
     elementary type, finalization has no effect;

6.a/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0099-1AI05-0099-1>} We say "full type" in this
          and the following bullets as privacy is ignored for the
          purpose of determining the finalization actions of an object;
          that is as expected for Dynamic Semantics rules.

7/3
   * {<AI05-0099-1AI05-0099-1>} If the full type of the object is a
     tagged type, and the tag of the object identifies a controlled
     type, the Finalize procedure of that controlled type is called;

8/3
   * {<AI05-0099-1AI05-0099-1>} If the full type of the object is a
     protected type, or if the full type of the object is a tagged type
     and the tag of the object identifies a protected type, the actions
     defined in *note 9.4:: are performed;

9/3
   * {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>} {<AI05-0099-1AI05-0099-1>} If the
     full type of the object is a composite type, then after performing
     the above actions, if any, every component of the object is
     finalized in an arbitrary order, except as follows: if the object
     has a component with an access discriminant constrained by a
     per-object expression, this component is finalized before any
     components that do not have such discriminants; for an object with
     several components with such a discriminant, they are finalized in
     the reverse of the order of their component_declarations;

9.a
          Reason: This allows the finalization of a component with an
          access discriminant to refer to other components of the
          enclosing object prior to their being finalized.

9.b/4
          To be honest: {<AI05-0099-1AI05-0099-1>}
          {<AI12-0005-1AI12-0005-1>} The components discussed here are
          all of the components that the object actually has, not just
          those components that are statically identified by the type of
          the object.  These can be different if the object has a
          class-wide type.

9.1/2
   * {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>} If the object has coextensions (see
     *note 3.10.2::), each coextension is finalized after the object
     whose access discriminant designates it.

9.c/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0066-1AI05-0066-1>} In the case of an
          aggregate or function call that is used (in its entirety) to
          directly initialize a part of an object, the coextensions of
          the result of evaluating the aggregate or function call are
          transfered to become coextensions of the object being
          initialized and are not finalized until the object being
          initialized is ultimately finalized, even if an anonymous
          object is created as part of the operation.

10
Immediately before an instance of Unchecked_Deallocation reclaims the
storage of an object, the object is finalized.  [If an instance of
Unchecked_Deallocation is never applied to an object created by an
allocator, the object will still exist when the corresponding master
completes, and it will be finalized then.]

{<AI95-00280-01AI95-00280-01>} {<AI05-0051-1AI05-0051-1>}
{<AI05-0190-1AI05-0190-1>} The finalization of a master performs
finalization of objects created by declarations in the master in the
reverse order of their creation.  After the finalization of a master is
complete, the objects finalized as part of its finalization cease to
<exist>, as do any types and subtypes defined and created within the
master.

11.e
          Ramification: Note that a deferred constant declaration does
          not create the constant; the full constant declaration creates
          it.  Therefore, the order of finalization depends on where the
          full constant declaration occurs, not the deferred constant
          declaration.

11.f
          An imported object is not created by its declaration.  It is
          neither initialized nor finalized.

11.g
          Implementation Note: An implementation has to ensure that the
          storage for an object is not reclaimed when references to the
          object are still possible (unless, of course, the user
          explicitly requests reclamation via an instance of
          Unchecked_Deallocation).  This implies, in general, that
          objects cannot be deallocated one by one as they are
          finalized; a subsequent finalization might reference an object
          that has been finalized, and that object had better be in its
          (well-defined) finalized state.

11.1/3
{<AI05-0190-1AI05-0190-1>} Each nonderived access type <T> has an
associated <collection>, which is the set of objects created by
allocators of <T>, or of types derived from <T>.  Unchecked_Deallocation
removes an object from its collection.  Finalization of a collection
consists of finalization of each object in the collection, in an
arbitrary order.  The collection of an access type is an object
implicitly declared at the following place:

11.h/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0190-1AI05-0190-1>} The place of the
          implicit declaration determines when allocated objects are
          finalized.  For multiple collections declared at the same
          place, we do not define the order of their implicit
          declarations.

11.i/3
          {<AI05-0190-1AI05-0190-1>} Finalization of allocated objects
          is done according to the (ultimate ancestor) allocator type,
          not according to the storage pool in which they are allocated.
          Pool finalization might reclaim storage (see *note 13.11::,
          "*note 13.11:: Storage Management"), but has nothing
          (directly) to do with finalization of the pool elements.

11.j/3
          {<AI05-0190-1AI05-0190-1>} Note that finalization is done only
          for objects that still exist; if an instance of
          Unchecked_Deallocation has already gotten rid of a given pool
          element, that pool element will not be finalized when the
          master is left.

11.k/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0190-1AI05-0190-1>} Note that we talk about the
          type of the allocator here.  There may be access values of a
          (general) access type pointing at objects created by
          allocators for some other type; these are not (necessarily)
          finalized at this point.

11.2/3
   * For a named access type, the first freezing point (see *note
     13.14::) of the type.

11.l/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0190-1AI05-0190-1>} The freezing point of the
          ultimate ancestor access type is chosen because before that
          point, pool elements cannot be created, and after that point,
          access values designating (parts of) the pool elements can be
          created.  This is also the point after which the pool object
          cannot have been declared.  We don't want to finalize the pool
          elements until after anything finalizing objects that contain
          access values designating them.  Nor do we want to finalize
          pool elements after finalizing the pool object itself.

11.3/3
   * For the type of an access parameter, the call that contains the
     allocator.

11.4/3
   * For the type of an access result, within the master of the call
     (see *note 3.10.2::).

11.m/3
          To be honest: {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>}
          {<AI05-0190-1AI05-0190-1>} We mean at a place within the
          master consistent with the execution of the call within the
          master.  We don't say that normatively, as it is difficult to
          explain that when the master of the call need not be the
          master that immediately includes the call (such as when an
          anonymous result is converted to a named access type).

11.5/3
   * For any other anonymous access type, the first freezing point of
     the innermost enclosing declaration.

12/2
{<AI95-00256-01AI95-00256-01>} The target of an assignment_statement is

{<AI05-0142-4AI05-0142-4>} {<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>} The master of an
object is the master enclosing its creation whose accessibility level
(see *note 3.10.2::) is equal to that of the object, except in the case
of an anonymous object representing the result of an aggregate or
function call.  If such an anonymous object is part of the result of
evaluating the actual parameter expression for an explicitly aliased
parameter of a function call, the master of the object is the innermost
master enclosing the evaluation of the aggregate or function call,
excluding the aggregate or function call itself.  Otherwise, the master
of such an anonymous object is the innermost master enclosing the
evaluation of the aggregate or function call, which may be the aggregate
or function call itself.

13.d/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00162-01AI95-00162-01>} This effectively
          imports all of the special rules for the accessibility level
          of renames, allocators, and so on, and applies them to
          determine where objects created in them are finalized.  For
          instance, the master of a rename of a subprogram is that of
          the renamed subprogram.

13.e/3
          {<AI05-0066-1AI05-0066-1>} In *note 3.10.2:: we assign an
          accessibility level to the result of an aggregate or function
          call that is used to directly initialize a part of an object
          based on the object being initialized.  This is important to
          ensure that any access discriminants denote objects that live
          at least as long as the object being initialized.  However, if
          the result of the aggregate or function call is not built
          directly in the target object, but instead is built in an
          anonymous object that is then assigned to the target, the
          anonymous object needs to be finalized after the assignment
          rather than persisting until the target object is finalized
          (but not its coextensions).  (Note than an implementation is
          never required to create such an anonymous object, and in some
          cases is required to <not> have such a separate object, but
          rather to build the result directly in the target.)

13.f/3
          {<AI05-0142-4AI05-0142-4>} The special case for explicitly
          aliased parameters of functions is needed for the same reason,
          as access discriminants of the returned object may designate
          one of these parameters.  In that case, we want to lengthen
          the lifetime of the anonymous objects as long as the possible
          lifetime of the result.

13.g/3
          {<AI05-0142-4AI05-0142-4>} We don't do a similar change for
          other kinds of calls, because the extended lifetime of the
          parameters adds no value, but could constitute a storage leak.
          For instance, such an anonymous object created by a procedure
          call in the elaboration part of a package body would have to
          live until the end of the program, even though it could not be
          used after the procedure returns (other than via
          Unchecked_Access).

13.h/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0142-4AI05-0142-4>} Note that the
          lifetime of the master given to anonymous objects in
          explicitly aliased parameters of functions is not necessarily
          as long as the lifetime of the master of the object being
          initialized (if the function call is used to initialize an
          allocator, for instance).  In that case, the accessibility
          check on explicitly aliased parameters will necessarily fail
          if any such anonymous objects exist.  This is necessary to
          avoid requiring the objects to live as long as the access type
          or having the implementation complexity of an implicit
          coextension.

14/1
{<8652/00238652/0023>} {<AI95-00169-01AI95-00169-01>} It is a bounded
error for a call on Finalize or Adjust that occurs as part of object
finalization or assignment to propagate an exception.  The possible
consequences depend on what action invoked the Finalize or Adjust
operation:

14.a
          Ramification: It is not a bounded error for Initialize to
          propagate an exception.  If Initialize propagates an
          exception, then no further calls on Initialize are performed,
          and those components that have already been initialized
          (either explicitly or by default) are finalized in the usual
          way.

14.a.1/1
          {<8652/00238652/0023>} {<AI95-00169-01AI95-00169-01>} It also
          is not a bounded error for an explicit call to Finalize or
          Adjust to propagate an exception.  We do not want
          implementations to have to treat explicit calls to these
          routines specially.

     assignment operations other than those invoked as part of an
     assignment_statement, other adjustments due to be performed might
     or might not be performed, and then Program_Error is raised.
     During its propagation, finalization might or might not be applied
     to objects whose Adjust failed.  For an Adjust invoked as part of
     an assignment_statement, any other adjustments due to be performed
     are performed, and then Program_Error is raised.

16.a/2
          Reason: {<8652/00248652/0024>} {<AI95-00193-01AI95-00193-01>}
          {<AI95-00256-01AI95-00256-01>} In the case of assignments that
          are part of initialization, there is no need to complete all
          adjustments if one propagates an exception, as the object will
          immediately be finalized.  So long as a subcomponent is not
          going to be finalized, it need not be adjusted, even if it is
          initialized as part of an enclosing composite assignment
          operation for which some adjustments are performed.  However,
          there is no harm in an implementation making additional Adjust
          calls (as long as any additional components that are adjusted
          are also finalized), so we allow the implementation
          flexibility here.  On the other hand, for an
          assignment_statement, it is important that all adjustments be
          performed, even if one fails, because all controlled
          subcomponents are going to be finalized.  Other kinds of
          assignment are more like initialization than
          assignment_statements, so we include them as well in the
          permission.

          part of the initialization of a controlled object propagates
          an exception, objects whose initialization (including any
          Adjust or Initialize calls) successfully completed will be
          finalized.  The permission above only applies to objects whose
          Adjust failed.  Objects for which Adjust was never even
          invoked must not be finalized.

   * {<8652/00238652/0023>} {<AI95-00169-01AI95-00169-01>} For a
     Finalize invoked due to reaching the end of the execution of a
     master, any other finalizations associated with the master are
     performed, and Program_Error is raised immediately after leaving
     the master.

17.a/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0064-1AI05-0064-1>} This rule covers both
          ordinary objects created by a declaration, and anonymous
          objects created as part of evaluating an expression.  All
          contexts that create objects that need finalization are
          defined to be masters.

18/2
   * {<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>} For a Finalize invoked by the
     transfer of control of an exit_statement, return statement,
     goto_statement, or requeue_statement (*note 9.5.4: S0226.),
     Program_Error is raised no earlier than after the finalization of
     the master being finalized when the exception occurred, and no
     later than the point where normal execution would have continued.
     Any other finalizations due to be performed up to that point are
     performed before raising Program_Error.

18.a
          Ramification: For example, upon leaving a block_statement due
          to a goto_statement, the Program_Error would be raised at the
          point of the target statement denoted by the label, or else in
          some more dynamically nested place, but not so nested as to
          allow an exception_handler that has visibility upon the
          finalized object to handle it.  For example,

18.b
               procedure Main is
               begin
                   <<The_Label>>
                   Outer_Block_Statement : declare
                       X : Some_Controlled_Type;
                   begin
                       Inner_Block_Statement : declare
                           Y : Some_Controlled_Type;
                           Z : Some_Controlled_Type;
                       begin
                           goto The_Label;
                       exception
                           when Program_Error => ... --< Handler number 1.>
                       end;
                   exception
                       when Program_Error => ... --< Handler number 2.>
                   end;
               exception
                   when Program_Error => ... --< Handler number 3.>
               end Main;

18.c
          The goto_statement will first cause Finalize(Y) to be called.
          Suppose that Finalize(Y) propagates an exception.
          Program_Error will be raised after leaving
          Inner_Block_Statement, but before leaving Main.  Thus, handler
          number 1 cannot handle this Program_Error; it will be handled
          either by handler number 2 or handler number 3.  If it is
          handled by handler number 2, then Finalize(Z) will be done
          before executing the handler.  If it is handled by handler
          number 3, then Finalize(Z) and Finalize(X) will both be done
          before executing the handler.

19
   * For a Finalize invoked by a transfer of control that is due to
     raising an exception, any other finalizations due to be performed
     for the same master are performed; Program_Error is raised
     immediately after leaving the master.

19.a
          Ramification: If, in the above example, the goto_statement
          were replaced by a raise_statement, then the Program_Error
          would be handled by handler number 2, and Finalize(Z) would be
          done before executing the handler.

19.b
          Reason: We considered treating this case in the same way as
          the others, but that would render certain exception_handlers
          useless.  For example, suppose the only exception_handler is
          one for others in the main subprogram.  If some deeply nested
          call raises an exception, causing some Finalize operation to
          be called, which then raises an exception, then normal
          execution "would have continued" at the beginning of the
          exception_handler.  Raising Program_Error at that point would
          cause that handler's code to be skipped.  One would need two
          nested exception_handlers to be sure of catching such cases!

19.c
          On the other hand, the exception_handler for a given master
          should not be allowed to handle exceptions raised during
          finalization of that master.

20
   * For a Finalize invoked by a transfer of control due to an abort or
     selection of a terminate alternative, the exception is ignored; any
     other finalizations due to be performed are performed.

20.a
          Ramification: This case includes an asynchronous transfer of
          control.

20.b
          To be honest: This violates the general principle that it is
          always possible for a bounded error to raise Program_Error
          (see *note 1.1.5::, "*note 1.1.5:: Classification of Errors").

                     _Implementation Permissions_

20.1/3
{<AI05-0107-1AI05-0107-1>} If the execution of an allocator propagates
an exception, any parts of the allocated object that were successfully
initialized may be finalized as part of the finalization of the
innermost master enclosing the allocator.

20.c/3
          Reason: This allows deallocating the memory for the allocated
          object at the innermost master, preventing a storage leak.
          Otherwise, the object would have to stay around until the
          finalization of the collection that it belongs to, which could
          be the entire life of the program if the associated access
          type is library level.

20.2/3
{<AI05-0111-3AI05-0111-3>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} The implementation
may finalize objects created by allocators for an access type whose
storage pool supports subpools (see *note 13.11.4::) as if the objects
were created (in an arbitrary order) at the point where the storage pool
was elaborated instead of at the first freezing point of the access
type.

20.d/3
          Ramification: This allows the finalization of such objects to
          occur later than they otherwise would, but still as part of
          the finalization of the same master.  Accessibility rules in
          *note 13.11.4:: ensure that it is the same master (usually
          that of the environment task).

20.e/3
          Implementation Note: This permission is intended to allow the
          allocated objects to "belong" to the subpool objects and to
          allow those objects to be finalized at the time that the
          storage pool is finalized (if they are not finalized earlier).
          This is expected to ease implementation, as the objects will
          only need to belong to the subpool and not also to the
          collection.

     NOTES

21/3
     18  {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} The rules of Clause 10 imply that
     immediately prior to partition termination, Finalize operations are
     applied to library-level controlled objects (including those
     created by allocators of library-level access types, except those
     already finalized).  This occurs after waiting for library-level
     tasks to terminate.

21.a
          Discussion: We considered defining a pragma that would apply
          to a controlled type that would suppress Finalize operations
          for library-level objects of the type upon partition
          termination.  This would be useful for types whose
          finalization actions consist of simply reclaiming global heap
          storage, when this is already provided automatically by the
          environment upon program termination.

22
     19  A constant is only constant between its initialization and
     finalization.  Both initialization and finalization are allowed to
     change the value of a constant.

23
     20  Abort is deferred during certain operations related to
     controlled types, as explained in *note 9.8::.  Those rules prevent
     an abort from causing a controlled object to be left in an
     ill-defined state.

24
     21  The Finalize procedure is called upon finalization of a
     controlled object, even if Finalize was called earlier, either
     explicitly or as part of an assignment; hence, if a controlled type
     is visibly controlled (implying that its Finalize primitive is
     directly callable), or is nonlimited (implying that assignment is
     allowed), its Finalize procedure should be designed to have no ill
     effect if it is applied a second time to the same object.

24.a
          Discussion: Or equivalently, a Finalize procedure should be
          "idempotent"; applying it twice to the same object should be
          equivalent to applying it once.

24.b
          Reason: A user-written Finalize procedure should be idempotent
          since it can be called explicitly by a client (at least if the
          type is "visibly" controlled).  Also, Finalize is used
          implicitly as part of the assignment_statement if the type is
          nonlimited, and an abort is permitted to disrupt an
          assignment_statement between finalizing the left-hand side and
          assigning the new value to it (an abort is not permitted to
          disrupt an assignment operation between copying in the new
          value and adjusting it).

24.c/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>} Either Initialize
          or Adjust, but not both, is applied to (almost) every
          controlled object when it is created: Initialize is done when
          no initial value is assigned to the object, whereas Adjust is
          done as part of assigning the initial value.  The one
          exception is the object initialized by an aggregate (both the
          anonymous object created for an aggregate, or an object
          initialized by an aggregate that is built-in-place);
          Initialize is not applied to the aggregate as a whole, nor is
          the value of the aggregate or object adjusted.

24.d
          All of the following use the assignment operation, and thus
          perform value adjustment:

24.e
             * the assignment_statement (see *note 5.2::);

24.f
             * explicit initialization of a stand-alone object (see
               *note 3.3.1::) or of a pool element (see *note 4.8::);

24.g
             * default initialization of a component of a stand-alone
               object or pool element (in this case, the value of each
               component is assigned, and therefore adjusted, but the
               value of the object as a whole is not adjusted);

24.h/2
             * {<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>} function return, when the
               result is not built-in-place (adjustment of the result
               happens before finalization of the function);

24.i
             * predefined operators (although the only one that matters
               is concatenation; see *note 4.5.3::);

24.j
             * generic formal objects of mode in (see *note 12.4::);
               these are defined in terms of constant declarations; and

24.k/2
             * {<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>} aggregates (see *note
               4.3::), when the result is not built-in-place (in this
               case, the value of each component, and the parent part,
               for an extension_aggregate, is assigned, and therefore
               adjusted, but the value of the aggregate as a whole is
               not adjusted; neither is Initialize called);

24.l
          The following also use the assignment operation, but
          adjustment never does anything interesting in these cases:

24.m
             * By-copy parameter passing uses the assignment operation
               (see *note 6.4.1::), but controlled objects are always
               passed by reference, so the assignment operation never
               does anything interesting in this case.  If we were to
               allow by-copy parameter passing for controlled objects,
               we would need to make sure that the actual is finalized
               before doing the copy back for [in] out parameters.  The
               finalization of the parameter itself needs to happen
               after the copy back (if any), similar to the finalization
               of an anonymous function return object or aggregate
               object.

24.n
             * For loops use the assignment operation (see *note 5.5::),
               but since the type of the loop parameter is never
               controlled, nothing interesting happens there, either.

24.n.1/2
             * {<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>} Objects initialized by
               function results and aggregates that are built-in-place.
               In this case, the assignment operation is never executed,
               and no adjustment takes place.  While built-in-place is
               always allowed, it is required for some types -- see
               *note 7.5:: and *note 7.6:: -- and that's important since
               limited types have no Adjust to call.

24.o/2
          <This paragraph was deleted.>{<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>}

24.p
          Finalization of the parts of a protected object are not done
          as protected actions.  It is possible (in pathological cases)
          to create tasks during finalization that access these parts in
          parallel with the finalization itself.  This is an erroneous
          use of shared variables.

24.q
          Implementation Note: One implementation technique for
          finalization is to chain the controlled objects together on a
          per-task list.  When leaving a master, the list can be walked
          up to a marked place.  The links needed to implement the list
          can be declared (privately) in types Controlled and
          Limited_Controlled, so they will be inherited by all
          controlled types.

24.r
          Another implementation technique, which we refer to as the
          "PC-map" approach essentially implies inserting exception
          handlers at various places, and finalizing objects based on
          where the exception was raised.

24.s
          The PC-map approach is for the compiler/linker to create a map
          of code addresses; when an exception is raised, or abort
          occurs, the map can be consulted to see where the task was
          executing, and what finalization needs to be performed.  This
          approach was given in the Ada 83 Rationale as a possible
          implementation strategy for exception handling -- the map is
          consulted to determine which exception handler applies.

24.t
          If the PC-map approach is used, the implementation must take
          care in the case of arrays.  The generated code will generally
          contain a loop to initialize an array.  If an exception is
          raised part way through the array, the components that have
          been initialized must be finalized, and the others must not be
          finalized.

24.u
          It is our intention that both of these implementation methods
          should be possible.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

24.v/3
          {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} Finalization depends on the
          concepts of completion and leaving, and on the concept of a
          master.  Therefore, we have moved the definitions of these
          concepts here, from where they used to be in Clause *note 9::.
          These concepts also needed to be generalized somewhat.  Task
          waiting is closely related to user-defined finalization; the
          rules here refer to the task-waiting rules of Clause *note
          9::.

                     _Inconsistencies With Ada 95_

24.v.1/3
          {<AI05-0066-1AI05-0066-1>} Ada 2012 Correction: Changed the
          definition of the master of an anonymous object used to
          directly initialize an object, so it can be finalized
          immediately rather than having to hang around as long as the
          object.  In this case, the Ada 2005 definition was
          inconsistent with Ada 95, and Ada 2012 changes it back.  It is
          unlikely that many compilers implemented the rule as written
          in Amendment 1, so an inconsistency is unlikely to arise in
          practice.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

24.w/2
          {<8652/00218652/0021>} {<AI95-00182-01AI95-00182-01>}
          Corrigendum: Fixed the wording to say that anonymous objects
          aren't finalized until the object can't be used anymore.

24.x/2
          {<8652/00238652/0023>} {<AI95-00169-01AI95-00169-01>}
          Corrigendum: Added wording to clarify what happens when Adjust
          or Finalize raises an exception; some cases had been omitted.

24.y/2
          {<8652/00248652/0024>} {<AI95-00193-01AI95-00193-01>}
          {<AI95-00256-01AI95-00256-01>} Corrigendum: Stated that if
          Adjust raises an exception during initialization, nothing
          further is required.  This is corrected in Ada 2005 to include
          all kinds of assignment other than assignment_statements.

24.z/2
          {<AI95-00162-01AI95-00162-01>} {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>}
          Revised the definition of master to include expressions and
          statements, in order to cleanly define what happens for tasks
          and controlled objects created as part of a subprogram call.
          Having done that, all of the special wording to cover those
          cases is eliminated (at least until the Ada comments start
          rolling in).

24.aa/2
          {<AI95-00280-01AI95-00280-01>} We define <finalization of the
          collection> here, so as to be able to conveniently refer to it
          in other rules (especially in *note 4.8::, "*note 4.8::
          Allocators").

24.bb/2
          {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>} Clarified that a coextension is
          finalized at the same time as the outer object.  (This was
          intended for Ada 95, but since the concept did not have a
          name, it was overlooked.)

                    _Inconsistencies With Ada 2005_

24.cc/3
          {<AI05-0051-1AI05-0051-1>} {<AI05-0190-1AI05-0190-1>}
          Correction: Better defined when objects allocated from
          anonymous access types are finalized.  This could be
          inconsistent if objects are finalized in a different order
          than in an Ada 2005 implementation and that order caused
          different program behavior; however programs that depend on
          the order of finalization within a single master are already
          fragile and hopefully are rare.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

24.dd/3
          {<AI05-0064-1AI05-0064-1>} Correction: Removed a redundant
          rule, which is now covered by the additional places where
          masters are defined.

24.ee/4
          {<AI05-0099-1AI05-0099-1>} {<AI12-0005-1AI12-0005-1>}
          Correction: Clarified the finalization rules so that there is
          no doubt that privacy is ignored, and to ensure that objects
          of class-wide interface types are finalized based on their
          specific concrete type.

24.ff/3
          {<AI05-0107-1AI05-0107-1>} Correction: Allowed premature
          finalization of parts of failed allocators.  This could be an
          inconsistency, but the previous behavior is still allowed and
          there is no requirement that implementations take advantage of
          the permission.

24.gg/3
          {<AI05-0111-3AI05-0111-3>} Added a permission to finalize an
          object allocated from a subpool later than usual.

24.hh/3
          {<AI05-0142-4AI05-0142-4>} Added text to specially define the

          aliased parameters (see *note 6.1::) of functions.  The model
          for these parameters is explained in detail in *note 6.4.1::.

8 Visibility Rules
******************

1/3
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} [The rules defining the scope of declarations
and the rules defining which identifiers, character_literals, and
operator_symbols are visible at (or from) various places in the text of
the program are described in this clause.  The formulation of these
rules uses the notion of a declarative region.

2/3
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} As explained in Clause *note 3::, a
declaration declares a view of an entity and associates a defining name
with that view.  The view comprises an identification of the viewed
entity, and possibly additional properties.  A usage name denotes a
declaration.  It also denotes the view declared by that declaration, and
denotes the entity of that view.  Thus, two different usage names might
denote two different views of the same entity; in this case they denote
the same entity.]

2.a
          To be honest: In some cases, a usage name that denotes a
          declaration does not denote the view declared by that
          declaration, nor the entity of that view, but instead denotes
          a view of the current instance of the entity, and denotes the
          current instance of the entity.  This sometimes happens when
          the usage name occurs inside the declarative region of the
          declaration.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

2.b
          We no longer define the term "basic operation;" thus we no
          longer have to worry about the visibility of them.  Since they
          were essentially always visible in Ada 83, this change has no
          effect.  The reason for this change is that the definition in
          Ada 83 was confusing, and not quite correct, and we found it
          difficult to fix.  For example, one wonders why an
          if_statement was not a basic operation of type Boolean.  For
          another example, one wonders what it meant for a basic
          operation to be "inherent in" something.  Finally, this fixes
          the problem addressed by AI83-00027/07.

8.1 Declarative Region
======================

                          _Static Semantics_

1
For each of the following constructs, there is a portion of the program
text called its <declarative region>, [within which nested declarations
can occur]:

2
   * any declaration, other than that of an enumeration type, that is
     not a completion [of a previous declaration];

2.1/4
   * {<AI12-0094-1AI12-0094-1>} an access_definition;

3
   * a block_statement;

4
   * a loop_statement;

4.1/3
   * {<AI05-0255-1AI05-0255-1>} a quantified_expression;

4.2/3
   * {<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>} an extended_return_statement;

5
   * an accept_statement;

6
   * an exception_handler.

7
The declarative region includes the text of the construct together with
additional text determined [(recursively)], as follows:

8
   * If a declaration is included, so is its completion, if any.

9
   * If the declaration of a library unit [(including Standard -- see
     *note 10.1.1::)] is included, so are the declarations of any child
     units [(and their completions, by the previous rule)].  The child
     declarations occur after the declaration.

10
   * If a body_stub is included, so is the corresponding subunit.

11
   * If a type_declaration is included, then so is a corresponding
     record_representation_clause, if any.

11.a
          Reason: This is so that the component_declarations can be
          directly visible in the record_representation_clause.

12
The declarative region of a declaration is also called the <declarative
region> of any view or entity declared by the declaration.

12.a
          Reason: The constructs that have declarative regions are the
          constructs that can have declarations nested inside them.
          Nested declarations are declared in that declarative region.
          The one exception is for enumeration literals; although they
          are nested inside an enumeration type declaration, they behave
          as if they were declared at the same level as the type.

12.b
          To be honest: A declarative region does not include
          parent_unit_names.

12.c
          Ramification: A declarative region does not include
          context_clauses.

13
A declaration occurs <immediately within> a declarative region if this
region is the innermost declarative region that encloses the declaration
(the <immediately enclosing> declarative region), not counting the
declarative region (if any) associated with the declaration itself.

13.a
          Discussion: Don't confuse the declarative region of a
          declaration with the declarative region in which it
          immediately occurs.

14
[ A declaration is <local> to a declarative region if the declaration
occurs immediately within the declarative region.]  [An entity is
<local> to a declarative region if the entity is declared by a
declaration that is local to the declarative region.]

14.a
          Ramification: "Occurs immediately within" and "local to" are
          synonyms (when referring to declarations).

14.b
          Thus, "local to" applies to both declarations and entities,
          whereas "occurs immediately within" only applies to
          declarations.  We use this term only informally; for cases
          where precision is required, we use the term "occurs
          immediately within", since it is less likely to cause
          confusion.

15
A declaration is <global> to a declarative region if the declaration
occurs immediately within another declarative region that encloses the
declarative region.  An entity is <global> to a declarative region if
the entity is declared by a declaration that is global to the
declarative region.

     NOTES

16
     1  The children of a parent library unit are inside the parent's
     declarative region, even though they do not occur inside the
     parent's declaration or body.  This implies that one can use (for
     example) "P.Q" to refer to a child of P whose defining name is Q,
     and that after "use P;" Q can refer (directly) to that child.

17
     2  As explained above and in *note 10.1.1::, "*note 10.1.1::
     Compilation Units - Library Units", all library units are
     descendants of Standard, and so are contained in the declarative
     region of Standard.  They are <not> inside the declaration or body
     of Standard, but they <are> inside its declarative region.

18
     3  For a declarative region that comes in multiple parts, the text
     of the declarative region does not contain any text that might
     appear between the parts.  Thus, when a portion of a declarative
     region is said to extend from one place to another in the
     declarative region, the portion does not contain any text that
     might appear between the parts of the declarative region.

18.a
          Discussion: It is necessary for the things that have a
          declarative region to include anything that contains
          declarations (except for enumeration type declarations).  This
          includes any declaration that has a profile (that is,
          subprogram_declaration, subprogram_body, entry_declaration,
          subprogram_renaming_declaration,
          formal_subprogram_declaration, access-to-subprogram
          type_declaration), anything that has a discriminant_part (that
          is, various kinds of type_declaration), anything that has a
          component_list (that is, record type_declaration and record
          extension type_declaration), and finally the declarations of
          task and protected units and packages.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

18.b
          It was necessary to extend Ada 83's definition of declarative
          region to take the following Ada 95 features into account:

18.c
             * Child library units.

18.d
             * Derived types/type extensions -- we need a declarative
               region for inherited components and also for new
               components.

18.e
             * All the kinds of types that allow discriminants.

18.f
             * Protected units.

18.g
             * Entries that have bodies instead of accept statements.

18.h
             * The choice_parameter_specification of an
               exception_handler.

18.i
             * The formal parameters of access-to-subprogram types.

18.j
             * Renamings-as-body.

18.k
          Discriminated and access-to-subprogram type declarations need
          a declarative region.  Enumeration type declarations cannot
          have one, because you don't have to say "Color.Red" to refer
          to the literal Red of Color.  For other type declarations, it
          doesn't really matter whether or not there is an associated
          declarative region, so for simplicity, we give one to all
          types except enumeration types.

18.l
          We now say that an accept_statement has its own declarative
          region, rather than being part of the declarative region of
          the entry_declaration, so that declarative regions are
          properly nested regions of text, so that it makes sense to
          talk about "inner declarative regions," and "...extends to the
          end of a declarative region."  Inside an accept_statement, the
          name of one of the parameters denotes the
          parameter_specification of the accept_statement, not that of
          the entry_declaration.  If the accept_statement is nested
          within a block_statement, these parameter_specifications can
          hide declarations of the block_statement.  The semantics of
          such cases was unclear in RM83.

18.m
          To be honest: Unfortunately, we have the same problem for the
          entry name itself -- it should denote the accept_statement,
          but accept_statements are not declarations.  They should be,
          and they should hide the entry from all visibility within
          themselves.

18.n
          Note that we can't generalize this to entry_bodies, or other
          bodies, because the declarative_part of a body is not supposed
          to contain (explicit) homographs of things in the declaration.
          It works for accept_statements only because an
          accept_statement does not have a declarative_part.

18.o
          To avoid confusion, we use the term "local to" only informally
          in Ada 95.  Even RM83 used the term incorrectly (see, for
          example, RM83-12.3(13)).

18.p
          In Ada 83, (root) library units were inside Standard; it was
          not clear whether the declaration or body of Standard was
          meant.  In Ada 95, they are children of Standard, and so occur
          immediately within Standard's declarative region, but not
          within either the declaration or the body.  (See RM83-8.6(2)
          and RM83-10.1.1(5).)

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

18.q/2
          {<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>} Extended_return_statement (see
          *note 6.5::) is added to the list of constructs that have a
          declarative region.

                       _Extensions to Ada 2012_

18.r/4
          {<AI12-0094-1AI12-0094-1>} Corrigendum: access_definition is
          added to the list of constructs that have a declarative
          region.  This allows parameter names declared in anonymous
          access type subprogram types to be the same as other names
          declared outside.  For instance:

18.s/4
               type Foo is record
                  A : Natural;
                  B : access procedure (A : Boolean);
               end record;

18.t/4
          This is now legal, as one would expect; it was illegal in
          previous versions of Ada as the parameter A and the component
          A were homographs in the same declarative region (see *note
          8.3::).  Note that some implementations already allow this
          common sense interpretation, so this extension may in fact be
          used in existing code.

8.2 Scope of Declarations
=========================

1
[For each declaration, the language rules define a certain portion of
the program text called the <scope> of the declaration.  The scope of a
declaration is also called the scope of any view or entity declared by
the declaration.  Within the scope of an entity, and only there, there
are places where it is legal to refer to the declared entity.  These
places are defined by the rules of visibility and overloading.]

                          _Static Semantics_

2
The <immediate scope> of a declaration is a portion of the declarative
region immediately enclosing the declaration.  The immediate scope
starts at the beginning of the declaration, except in the case of an
overloadable declaration, in which case the immediate scope starts just
after the place where the profile of the callable entity is determined
(which is at the end of the _specification for the callable entity, or
at the end of the generic_instantiation if an instance).  The immediate
scope extends to the end of the declarative region, with the following
exceptions:

2.a
          Reason: The reason for making overloadable declarations with
          profiles special is to simplify compilation: until the
          compiler has determined the profile, it doesn't know which
          other declarations are homographs of this one, so it doesn't
          know which ones this one should hide.  Without this rule, two
          passes over the _specification or generic_instantiation would
          be required to resolve names that denote things with the same
          name as this one.

3
   * The immediate scope of a library_item includes only its semantic
     dependents.

3.a/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} Clause 10 defines only a
          partial ordering of library_items.  Therefore, it is a good
          idea to restrict the immediate scope (and the scope, defined
          below) to semantic dependents.

3.b
          Consider also examples like this:

3.c
               package P is end P;

3.d
               package P.Q is
                   I : Integer := 0;
               end P.Q;

3.e/1
               with P;
               package R is
                   package X renames P;
                   J : Integer := X.Q.I; --< Illegal!>
               end R;

3.f
          The scope of P.Q does not contain R. Hence, neither P.Q nor
          X.Q are visible within R. However, the name R.X.Q would be
          visible in some other library unit where both R and P.Q are
          visible (assuming R were made legal by removing the offending
          declaration).

3.g/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00217-06AI95-00217-06>} This rule applies
          to limited views as well as "normal" library items.  In that
          case, the semantic dependents are the units that have a
          limited_with_clause for the limited view.

4
   * The immediate scope of a declaration in the private part of a
     library unit does not include the visible part of any public
     descendant of that library unit.  

4.a
          Ramification: In other words, a declaration in the private
          part can be visible within the visible part, private part and
          body of a private child unit.  On the other hand, such a
          declaration can be visible within only the private part and
          body of a public child unit.

4.b
          Reason: The purpose of this rule is to prevent children from
          giving private information to clients.

4.c/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00231-01AI95-00231-01>} For a public
          child subprogram, this means that the parent's private part is
          not visible in the profile of the declaration and of the body.
          This is true even for subprogram_bodies that are not
          completions.  For a public child generic unit, it means that
          the parent's private part is not visible in the
          generic_formal_part, as well as in the first list of
          basic_declarative_items (for a generic package), or the
          (syntactic) profile (for a generic subprogram).

5
[The <visible part> of (a view of) an entity is a portion of the text of
its declaration containing declarations that are visible from outside.]The <private part> of (a view of) an entity that has a visible part
contains all declarations within the declaration of (the view of) the
entity, except those in the visible part; [these are not visible from
outside.  Visible and private parts are defined only for these kinds of
entities: callable entities, other program units, and composite types.]

6
   * The visible part of a view of a callable entity is its profile.

7
   * The visible part of a composite type other than a task or protected
     type consists of the declarations of all components declared
     [(explicitly or implicitly)] within the type_declaration.

8
   * The visible part of a generic unit includes the
     generic_formal_part.  For a generic package, it also includes the
     first list of basic_declarative_items of the package_specification.
     For a generic subprogram, it also includes the profile.

8.a
          Reason: Although there is no way to reference anything but the
          formals from outside a generic unit, they are still in the
          visible part in the sense that the corresponding declarations
          in an instance can be referenced (at least in some cases).  In
          other words, these declarations have an effect on the outside
          world.  The visible part of a generic unit needs to be defined
          this way in order to properly support the rule that makes a
          parent's private part invisible within a public child's
          visible part.

8.b
          Ramification: The visible part of an instance of a generic
          unit is as defined for packages and subprograms; it is not
          defined in terms of the visible part of a generic unit.

9
   * [The visible part of a package, task unit, or protected unit
     consists of declarations in the program unit's declaration other
     than those following the reserved word private, if any; see *note
     7.1:: and *note 12.7:: for packages, *note 9.1:: for task units,
     and *note 9.4:: for protected units.]

10
The scope of a declaration always contains the immediate scope of the
declaration.  In addition, for a given declaration that occurs
immediately within the visible part of an outer declaration, or is a
public child of an outer declaration, the scope of the given declaration
extends to the end of the scope of the outer declaration, except that
the scope of a library_item includes only its semantic dependents.

10.a
          Ramification: Note the recursion.  If a declaration appears in
          the visible part of a library unit, its scope extends to the
          end of the scope of the library unit, but since that only
          includes dependents of the declaration of the library unit,
          the scope of the inner declaration also only includes those
          dependents.  If X renames library package P, which has a child
          Q, a with_clause mentioning P.Q is necessary to be able to
          refer to X.Q, even if P.Q is visible at the place where X is
          declared.

10.1/3
{<AI95-00408-01AI95-00408-01>} {<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>} The scope of
an attribute_definition_clause is identical to the scope of a
declaration that would occur at the point of the
attribute_definition_clause.  The scope of an aspect_specification is
identical to the scope of the associated declaration.

11
The immediate scope of a declaration is also the immediate scope of the
entity or view declared by the declaration.  Similarly, the scope of a
declaration is also the scope of the entity or view declared by the
declaration.

11.a
          Ramification: The rule for immediate scope implies the
          following:

11.b
             * If the declaration is that of a library unit, then the
               immediate scope includes the declarative region of the
               declaration itself, but not other places, unless they are
               within the scope of a with_clause that mentions the
               library unit.

11.c
               It is necessary to attach the semantics of with_clauses
               to [immediate] scopes (as opposed to visibility), in
               order for various rules to work properly.  A library unit
               should hide a homographic implicit declaration that
               appears in its parent, but only within the scope of a
               with_clause that mentions the library unit.  Otherwise,
               we would violate the "legality determinable via semantic
               dependences" rule of *note 10::, "*note 10:: Program
               Structure and Compilation Issues".  The declaration of a
               library unit should be allowed to be a homograph of an
               explicit declaration in its parent's body, so long as
               that body does not mention the library unit in a
               with_clause.

11.d
               This means that one cannot denote the declaration of the
               library unit, but one might still be able to denote the
               library unit via another view.

11.e
               A with_clause does not make the declaration of a library
               unit visible; the lack of a with_clause prevents it from
               being visible.  Even if a library unit is mentioned in a
               with_clause, its declaration can still be hidden.

11.f
             * The completion of the declaration of a library unit
               (assuming that's also a declaration) is not visible,
               neither directly nor by selection, outside that
               completion.

11.g
             * The immediate scope of a declaration immediately within
               the body of a library unit does not include any child of
               that library unit.

11.h
               This is needed to prevent children from looking inside
               their parent's body.  The children are in the declarative
               region of the parent, and they might be after the
               parent's body.  Therefore, the scope of a declaration
               that occurs immediately within the body might include
               some children.

12/4
{<AI12-0003-1AI12-0003-1>} The immediate scope of a pragma that is not
used as a configuration pragma is defined to be the region extending
from immediately after the pragma to the end of the declarative region
immediately enclosing the pragma.

     NOTES

13/3
     4  {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} There are notations for denoting
     visible declarations that are not directly visible.  For example,
     parameter_specification (*note 6.1: S0175.)s are in the visible
     part of a subprogram_declaration (*note 6.1: S0163.) so that they
     can be used in named-notation calls appearing outside the called
     subprogram.  For another example, declarations of the visible part
     of a package can be denoted by expanded names appearing outside the
     package, and can be made directly visible by a use_clause.

          {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} There are some obscure cases
          involving generics in which there is no such notation.  See
          Clause *note 12::.

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

13.b
          The fact that the immediate scope of an overloadable
          declaration does not include its profile is new to Ada 95.  It
          replaces RM83-8.3(16), which said that within a subprogram
          specification and within the formal part of an entry
          declaration or accept statement, all declarations with the
          same designator as the subprogram or entry were hidden from
          all visibility.  The RM83-8.3(16) rule seemed to be overkill,
          and created both implementation difficulties and unnecessary
          semantic complexity.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

13.c
          We no longer need to talk about the scope of notations,
          identifiers, character_literals, and operator_symbols.

13.d/3
          {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} The notion of "visible part" has
          been extended in Ada 95.  The syntax of task and protected
          units now allows private parts, thus requiring us to be able
          to talk about the visible part as well.  It was necessary to
          extend the concept to subprograms and to generic units, in
          order for the visibility rules related to child library units
          to work properly.  It was necessary to define the concept
          separately for generic formal packages, since their visible
          part is slightly different from that of a normal package.
          Extending the concept to composite types made the definition
          of scope slightly simpler.  We define visible part for some
          things elsewhere, since it makes a big difference to the user
          for those things.  For composite types and subprograms,
          however, the concept is used only in arcane visibility rules,
          so we localize it to this subclause.

13.e
          In Ada 83, the semantics of with_clauses was described in
          terms of visibility.  It is now described in terms of
          [immediate] scope.

13.f
          We have clarified that the following is illegal (where Q and R
          are library units):

13.g
               package Q is
                   I : Integer := 0;
               end Q;

13.h
               package R is
                   package X renames Standard;
                   X.Q.I := 17; --< Illegal!>
               end R;

13.i
          even though Q is declared in the declarative region of
          Standard, because R does not mention Q in a with_clause.

8.3 Visibility
==============

1
[ The <visibility rules>, given below, determine which declarations are
visible and directly visible at each place within a program.  The
visibility rules apply to both explicit and implicit declarations.]

                          _Static Semantics_

2
A declaration is defined to be <directly visible> at places where a name
consisting of only an identifier or operator_symbol is sufficient to
denote the declaration; that is, no selected_component notation or
special context (such as preceding => in a named association) is
necessary to denote the declaration.  A declaration is defined to be
<visible> wherever it is directly visible, as well as at other places
where some name (such as a selected_component) can denote the
declaration.

3
The syntactic category direct_name is used to indicate contexts where
direct visibility is required.  The syntactic category selector_name is
used to indicate contexts where visibility, but not direct visibility,
is required.

4
There are two kinds of direct visibility: <immediate visibility> and
<use-visibility>.  A declaration is immediately visible at a place if it
is directly visible because the place is within its immediate scope.  A
declaration is use-visible if it is directly visible because of a
use_clause (see *note 8.4::).  Both conditions can apply.

5
A declaration can be <hidden>, either from direct visibility, or from
all visibility, within certain parts of its scope.  Where <hidden from
all visibility>, it is not visible at all (neither using a direct_name
nor a selector_name).  Where <hidden from direct visibility>, only
direct visibility is lost; visibility using a selector_name is still
possible.

6
[ Two or more declarations are <overloaded> if they all have the same
defining name and there is a place where they are all directly visible.]

6.a
          Ramification: Note that a name can have more than one possible
          interpretation even if it denotes a nonoverloadable entity.
          For example, if there are two functions F that return records,
          both containing a component called C, then the name F.C has
          two possible interpretations, even though component
          declarations are not overloadable.

7
The declarations of callable entities [(including enumeration literals)]
are <overloadable>[, meaning that overloading is allowed for them].

7.a
          Ramification: A generic_declaration is not overloadable within
          its own generic_formal_part.  This follows from the rules
          about when a name denotes a current instance.  See AI83-00286.
          This implies that within a generic_formal_part, outer
          declarations with the same defining name are hidden from
          direct visibility.  It also implies that if a generic formal
          parameter has the same defining name as the generic itself,
          the formal parameter hides the generic from direct visibility.

8
Two declarations are <homographs> if they have the same defining name,
and, if both are overloadable, their profiles are type conformant.  [An
inner declaration hides any outer homograph from direct visibility.]

8.a/2
          Glossary entry: An overriding operation is one that replaces
          an inherited primitive operation.  Operations may be marked
          explicitly as overriding or not overriding.

9/1
{<8652/00258652/0025>} {<AI95-00044-01AI95-00044-01>} [Two homographs
are not generally allowed immediately within the same declarative region
unless one <overrides> the other (see Legality Rules below).]  The only
declarations that are <overridable> are the implicit declarations for
predefined operators and inherited primitive subprograms.  A declaration
overrides another homograph that occurs immediately within the same
declarative region in the following cases:

10/1
   * {<8652/00258652/0025>} {<AI95-00044-01AI95-00044-01>} A declaration
     that is not overridable overrides one that is overridable,
     [regardless of which declaration occurs first];

10.a/1
          Ramification: {<8652/00258652/0025>}
          {<AI95-00044-01AI95-00044-01>} And regardless of whether the
          nonoverridable declaration is overloadable or not.  For
          example, statement_identifiers are covered by this rule.

10.b
          The "regardless of which declaration occurs first" is there
          because the explicit declaration could be a primitive
          subprogram of a partial view, and then the full view might
          inherit a homograph.  We are saying that the explicit one wins
          (within its scope), even though the implicit one comes later.

10.c
          If the overriding declaration is also a subprogram, then it is
          a primitive subprogram.

10.d
          As explained in *note 7.3.1::, "*note 7.3.1:: Private
          Operations", some inherited primitive subprograms are never
          declared.  Such subprograms cannot be overridden, although
          they can be reached by dispatching calls in the case of a
          tagged type.

11
   * The implicit declaration of an inherited operator overrides that of
     a predefined operator;

11.a
          Ramification: In a previous version of Ada 9X, we tried to
          avoid the notion of predefined operators, and say that they
          were inherited from some magical root type.  However, this
          seemed like too much mechanism.  Therefore, a type can have a
          predefined "+" as well as an inherited "+".  The above rule
          says the inherited one wins.

11.b/2
          {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} The "regardless of which
          declaration occurs first" applies here as well, in the case
          where derived_type_definition in the visible part of a public
          library unit derives from a private type declared in the
          parent unit, and the full view of the parent type has
          additional predefined operators, as explained in *note
          7.3.1::, "*note 7.3.1:: Private Operations".  Those predefined
          operators can be overridden by inherited subprograms
          implicitly declared earlier.

12
   * An implicit declaration of an inherited subprogram overrides a
     previous implicit declaration of an inherited subprogram.

12.1/2
   * {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} If two or more homographs are
     implicitly declared at the same place:

12.2/2
             * {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} If at least one is a
               subprogram that is neither a null procedure nor an
               abstract subprogram, and does not require overriding (see
               *note 3.9.3::), then they override those that are null
               procedures, abstract subprograms, or require overriding.
               If more than one such homograph remains that is not thus
               overridden, then they are all hidden from all visibility.

12.3/2
             * {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} Otherwise (all are null
               procedures, abstract subprograms, or require overriding),
               then any null procedure overrides all abstract
               subprograms and all subprograms that require overriding;
               if more than one such homograph remains that is not thus
               overridden, then if they are all fully conformant with
               one another, one is chosen arbitrarily; if not, they are
               all hidden from all visibility.  

12.a/2
          Discussion: In the case where the implementation arbitrarily
          chooses one overrider from among a group of inherited
          subprograms, users should not be able to determine which
          member was chosen, as the set of inherited subprograms which
          are chosen from must be fully conformant.  This rule is needed
          in order to allow

12.b/2
               package Outer is
                  package P1 is
                     type Ifc1 is interface;
                     procedure Null_Procedure (X : Ifc1) is null;
                     procedure Abstract_Subp  (X : Ifc1) is abstract;
                  end P1;

12.c/2
                  package P2 is
                     type Ifc2 is interface;
                     procedure Null_Procedure (X : Ifc2) is null;
                     procedure Abstract_Subp  (X : Ifc2) is abstract;
                  end P2;

12.d/2
                  type T is abstract new P1.Ifc1 and P2.Ifc2 with null record;
               end Outer;

12.e/2
          without requiring that T explicitly override any of its
          inherited operations.

12.f/2
          Full conformance is required here, as we cannot allow the
          parameter names to differ.  If they did differ, the routine
          which was selected for overriding could be determined by using
          named parameter notation in a call.

12.g/2
          When the subprograms do not conform, we chose not to adopt the
          "use clause" rule which would make them all visible resulting
          in likely ambiguity.  If we had used such a rule, any
          successful calls would be confusing; and the fact that there
          are no Beaujolais-like effect to worry about means we can
          consider other rules.  The hidden-from-all-visibility
          homographs are still inherited by further derivations, which
          avoids order-of-declaration dependencies and other anomalies.

12.h/2
          We have to be careful to not include arbitrary selection if
          the routines have real bodies.  (This can happen in generics,
          see the example in the incompatibilities section below.)  We
          don't want the ability to successfully call routines where the
          body executed depends on the compiler or a phase of the moon.

12.i/2
          Note that if the type is concrete, abstract subprograms are
          inherited as subprograms that require overriding.  We include
          functions that require overriding as well; these don't have
          real bodies, so they can use the more liberal rules.

13
   * [For an implicit declaration of a primitive subprogram in a generic
     unit, there is a copy of this declaration in an instance.]
     However, a whole new set of primitive subprograms is implicitly
     declared for each type declared within the visible part of the
     instance.  These new declarations occur immediately after the type
     declaration, and override the copied ones.  [The copied ones can be
     called only from within the instance; the new ones can be called
     only from outside the instance, although for tagged types, the body
     of a new one can be executed by a call to an old one.]

13.a
          Discussion: In addition, this is also stated redundantly
          (again), and is repeated, in *note 12.3::, "*note 12.3::
          Generic Instantiation".  The rationale for the rule is
          explained there.

13.b/3
          To be honest: {<AI05-0042-1AI05-0042-1>} The implicit
          subprograms declared when an operation of a progenitor is
          implemented by an entry or subprogram also override the
          appropriate implicitly declared inherited operations of the
          progenitor.

14
A declaration is visible within its scope, except where hidden from all
visibility, as follows:

15
   * An overridden declaration is hidden from all visibility within the
     scope of the overriding declaration.

15.a
          Ramification: We have to talk about the scope of the
          overriding declaration, not its visibility, because it hides
          even when it is itself hidden.

15.b
          Note that the scope of an explicit subprogram_declaration does
          not start until after its profile.

16
   * A declaration is hidden from all visibility until the end of the
     declaration, except:

17
             * For a record type or record extension, the declaration is
               hidden from all visibility only until the reserved word
               record;

18/3
             * {<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} {<AI05-0177-1AI05-0177-1>}
               For a package_declaration, generic_package_declaration
               (*note 12.1: S0273.), subprogram_body (*note 6.3:
               S0177.), or expression_function_declaration (*note 6.8:
               S0189.), the declaration is hidden from all visibility
               only until the reserved word is of the declaration;

18.a
          Ramification: We're talking about the is of the construct
          itself, here, not some random is that might appear in a
          generic_formal_part.

18.1/2
             * {<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} For a task declaration or
               protected declaration, the declaration is hidden from all
               visibility only until the reserved word with of the
               declaration if there is one, or the reserved word is of
               the declaration if there is no with.

18.b/2
          To be honest: If there is neither a with nor is, then the
          exception does not apply and the name is hidden from all
          visibility until the end of the declaration.  This oddity was
          inherited from Ada 95.

18.c/2
          Reason: We need the "with or is" rule so that the visibility
          within an interface_list does not vary by construct.  That
          would make it harder to complete private extensions and would
          complicate implementations.

19
   * If the completion of a declaration is a declaration, then within
     the scope of the completion, the first declaration is hidden from
     all visibility.  Similarly, a discriminant_specification (*note
     3.7: S0062.) or parameter_specification (*note 6.1: S0175.) is
     hidden within the scope of a corresponding
     discriminant_specification (*note 3.7: S0062.) or
     parameter_specification (*note 6.1: S0175.) of a corresponding
     completion, or of a corresponding accept_statement (*note 9.5.2:
     S0219.).

19.a
          Ramification: This rule means, for example, that within the
          scope of a full_type_declaration that completes a
          private_type_declaration, the name of the type will denote the
          full_type_declaration, and therefore the full view of the
          type.  On the other hand, if the completion is not a
          declaration, then it doesn't hide anything, and you can't
          denote it.

20/2
   * {<AI95-00217-06AI95-00217-06>} {<AI95-00412-01AI95-00412-01>} The
     declaration of a library unit (including a
     library_unit_renaming_declaration) is hidden from all visibility at
     places outside its declarative region that are not within the scope
     of a nonlimited_with_clause that mentions it.  The limited view of
     a library package is hidden from all visibility at places that are
     not within the scope of a limited_with_clause that mentions it; in
     addition, the limited view is hidden from all visibility within the
     declarative region of the package, as well as within the scope of
     any nonlimited_with_clause that mentions the package.  Where the
     declaration of the limited view of a package is visible, any name
     that denotes the package denotes the limited view, including those
     provided by a package renaming.

20.a/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00217-06AI95-00217-06>} This is the rule
          that prevents with_clauses from being transitive; the
          [immediate] scope includes indirect semantic dependents.  This
          rule also prevents the limited view of a package from being
          visible in the same place as the full view of the package,
          which prevents various ripple effects.

20.1/2
   * {<AI95-00217-06AI95-00217-06>} {<AI95-00412-01AI95-00412-01>} [For
     each declaration or renaming of a generic unit as a child of some
     parent generic package, there is a corresponding declaration nested
     immediately within each instance of the parent.]  Such a nested
     declaration is hidden from all visibility except at places that are
     within the scope of a with_clause that mentions the child.

21
A declaration with a defining_identifier or defining_operator_symbol is
immediately visible [(and hence directly visible)] within its immediate
scope  except where hidden from direct visibility, as follows:

22
   * A declaration is hidden from direct visibility within the immediate
     scope of a homograph of the declaration, if the homograph occurs
     within an inner declarative region;

23
   * A declaration is also hidden from direct visibility where hidden
     from all visibility.

{<AI95-00195-01AI95-00195-01>} {<AI95-00408-01AI95-00408-01>}
{<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>} An attribute_definition_clause or an
aspect_specification is <visible> everywhere within its scope.

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

24
A direct_name shall resolve to denote a directly visible declaration
whose defining name is the same as the direct_name.  A selector_name
shall resolve to denote a visible declaration whose defining name is the
same as the selector_name.

24.a
          Discussion: "The same as" has the obvious meaning here, so for
          +, the possible interpretations are declarations whose
          defining name is "+" (an operator_symbol).

25
These rules on visibility and direct visibility do not apply in a
context_clause, a parent_unit_name, or a pragma that appears at the
place of a compilation_unit.  For those contexts, see the rules in *note
10.1.6::, "*note 10.1.6:: Environment-Level Visibility Rules".

25.a
          Ramification: Direct visibility is irrelevant for
          character_literals.  In terms of overload resolution
          character_literals are similar to other literals, like null --
          see *note 4.2::.  For character_literals, there is no need to
          worry about hiding, since there is no way to declare
          homographs.

                           _Legality Rules_

26/2
{<8652/00258652/0025>} {<8652/00268652/0026>}
{<AI95-00044-01AI95-00044-01>} {<AI95-00150-01AI95-00150-01>}
{<AI95-00377-01AI95-00377-01>} A nonoverridable declaration is illegal
if there is a homograph occurring immediately within the same
declarative region that is visible at the place of the declaration, and
is not hidden from all visibility by the nonoverridable declaration.  In
addition, a type extension is illegal if somewhere within its immediate
scope it has two visible components with the same name.  Similarly, the
context_clause for a compilation unit is illegal if it mentions (in a
with_clause) some library unit, and there is a homograph of the library
unit that is visible at the place of the compilation unit, and the
homograph and the mentioned library unit are both declared immediately
within the same declarative region.  These rules also apply to
dispatching operations declared in the visible part of an instance of a
generic unit.  However, they do not apply to other overloadable
declarations in an instance[; such declarations may have type conformant
profiles in the instance, so long as the corresponding declarations in
the generic were not type conformant].  

26.a
          Discussion: Normally, these rules just mean you can't
          explicitly declare two homographs immediately within the same
          declarative region.  The wording is designed to handle the
          following special cases:

26.b
             * If the second declaration completes the first one, the
               second declaration is legal.

26.c
             * If the body of a library unit contains an explicit
               homograph of a child of that same library unit, this is
               illegal only if the body mentions the child in its
               context_clause, or if some subunit mentions the child.
               Here's an example:

26.d
               package P is
               end P;

26.e
               package P.Q is
               end P.Q;

26.f
               package body P is
                   Q : Integer; --< OK; we cannot see package P.Q here.>
                   procedure Sub is separate;
               end P;

26.g
               with P.Q;
               separate(P)
               procedure Sub is --< Illegal.>
               begin
                   null;
               end Sub;

26.h
               If package body P said "with P.Q;", then it would be
               illegal to declare the homograph Q: Integer.  But it does
               not, so the body of P is OK. However, the subunit would
               be able to see both P.Q's, and is therefore illegal.

26.i
               A previous version of Ada 9X allowed the subunit, and
               said that references to P.Q would tend to be ambiguous.
               However, that was a bad idea, because it requires
               overload resolution to resolve references to directly
               visible nonoverloadable homographs, which is something
               compilers have never before been required to do.

26.i.1/1
             * {<8652/00268652/0026>} {<8652/01028652/0102>}

               {<AI95-00157-01AI95-00157-01>} If a type extension
               contains a component with the same name as a component in
               an ancestor type, there must be no place where both
               components are visible.  For instance:

26.i.2/1
               package A is
                  type T is tagged private;
                  package B is

                        I: Integer; -- <Illegal because T.I is visible in the body.>

                     I: Integer; -- <Illegal because T.I is visible in the body.>
                  end record;
               end A;

26.i.3/2

                  end B;

                  end record; -- <T.I is not visible here.>
               private
                   -- <T.I is visible here.>
               end A.C;

26.i.5/1
               with A;
               package D is
                  type NT3 is new A.T with record
                     I: Integer; -- <Legal because T.I is never visible in this package.>
                  end record;
               end D;

26.i.6/1
               with D;
               package A.E is
                  type NT4 is new D.NT3 with null record;
                  X : NT4;
                  I1 : Integer := X.I;        -- <D.NT3.I>
                  I2 : Integer := D.NT3(X).I; -- <D.NT3.I>
                  I3 : Integer := A.T(X).I;   -- <A.T.I>
               end A.E;

26.i.7/1
               {<8652/01028652/0102>} {<AI95-00157-01AI95-00157-01>}
               D.NT3 can have a component I because the component I of
               the parent type is never visible.  The parent component
               exists, of course, but is never declared for the type
               D.NT3.  In the child package A.E, the component I of A.T
               is visible, but that does not change the fact that the
               A.T.I component was never declared for type D.NT3.  Thus,
               A.E.NT4 does not (visibly) inherit the component I from
               A.T, while it does inherit the component I from D.NT3.
               Of course, both components exist, and can be accessed by
               a type conversion as shown above.  This behavior stems
               from the fact that every characteristic of a type
               (including components) must be declared somewhere in the
               innermost declarative region containing the type -- if
               the characteristic is never visible in that declarative
               region, it is never declared.  Therefore, such
               characteristics do not suddenly become available even if
               they are in fact visible in some other scope.  See *note
               7.3.1:: for more on the rules.

26.i.8/2
             * {<AI95-00377-01AI95-00377-01>} It is illegal to mention
               both an explicit child of an instance, and a child of the
               generic from which the instance was instantiated.  This
               is easier to understand with an example:

26.i.9/2
               generic
               package G1 is
               end G1;

26.i.10/2
               generic
               package G1.G2 is
               end G1.G2;

26.i.11/2
               with G1;
               package I1 is new G1;

26.i.12/2
               package I1.G2 renames ...

26.i.13/2
               with G1.G2;
               with I1.G2;             -- <Illegal>
               package Bad is ...

26.i.14/2
               The context clause for Bad is illegal as I1 has an
               implicit declaration of I1.G2 based on the generic child
               G1.G2, as well as the mention of the explicit child
               I1.G2.  As in the previous cases, this is illegal only if
               the context clause makes both children visible; the
               explicit child can be mentioned as long as the generic
               child is not (and vice-versa).

26.j
          Note that we need to be careful which things we make "hidden
          from all visibility" versus which things we make simply
          illegal for names to denote.  The distinction is subtle.  The
          rules that disallow names denoting components within a type
          declaration (see *note 3.7::) do not make the components
          invisible at those places, so that the above rule makes
          components with the same name illegal.  The same is true for
          the rule that disallows names denoting formal parameters
          within a formal_part (see *note 6.1::).

26.k
          Discussion: The part about instances is from AI83-00012.  The
          reason it says "overloadable declarations" is because we don't
          want it to apply to type extensions that appear in an
          instance; components are not overloadable.

     NOTES

27
     5  Visibility for compilation units follows from the definition of
     the environment in *note 10.1.4::, except that it is necessary to
     apply a with_clause to obtain visibility to a
     library_unit_declaration or library_unit_renaming_declaration.

28
     6  In addition to the visibility rules given above, the meaning of
     the occurrence of a direct_name or selector_name at a given place
     in the text can depend on the overloading rules (see *note 8.6::).

29
     7  Not all contexts where an identifier, character_literal, or
     operator_symbol are allowed require visibility of a corresponding
     declaration.  Contexts where visibility is not required are
     identified by using one of these three syntactic categories
     directly in a syntax rule, rather than using direct_name or
     selector_name.

29.a
          Ramification: An identifier, character_literal or
          operator_symbol that occurs in one of the following contexts
          is not required to denote a visible or directly visible
          declaration:

29.b
               1.  A defining name.

29.c
               2.  The identifiers or operator_symbol that appear after
               the reserved word end in a proper_body.  Similarly for
               "end loop", etc.

29.d
               3.  An attribute_designator.

29.e
               4.  A pragma identifier.

29.f
               5.  A <pragma_argument_>identifier.

29.g
               6.  An identifier specific to a pragma used in a pragma
               argument.

29.g.1/3
               7.  {<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>} An aspect_mark;

29.g.2/3
               8.  {<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>} An identifier specific to
               an aspect used in an aspect_definition.

29.h
          The visibility rules have nothing to do with the above cases;
          the meanings of such things are defined elsewhere.  Reserved
          words are not identifiers; the visibility rules don't apply to
          them either.

29.i
          Because of the way we have defined "declaration", it is
          possible for a usage name to denote a subprogram_body, either
          within that body, or (for a nonlibrary unit) after it (since
          the body hides the corresponding declaration, if any).  Other
          bodies do not work that way.  Completions of type_declarations
          and deferred constant declarations do work that way.
          Accept_statements are never denoted, although the
          parameter_specifications in their profiles can be.

29.j
          The scope of a subprogram does not start until after its
          profile.  Thus, the following is legal:

29.k
               X : constant Integer := 17;
               ...
               package P is
                   procedure X(Y : in Integer := X);
               end P;

29.l
          The body of the subprogram will probably be illegal, however,
          since the constant X will be hidden by then.

29.m
          The rule is different for generic subprograms, since they are
          not overloadable; the following is illegal:

29.n
               X : constant Integer := 17;
               package P is
                   generic
                     Z : Integer := X; --< Illegal!>
                   procedure X(Y : in Integer := X); --< Illegal!>
               end P;

29.o
          The constant X is hidden from direct visibility by the generic
          declaration.

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

29.p
          Declarations with the same defining name as that of a
          subprogram or entry being defined are nevertheless visible
          within the subprogram specification or entry declaration.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

29.q
          The term "visible by selection" is no longer defined.  We use
          the terms "directly visible" and "visible" (among other
          things).  There are only two regions of text that are of
          interest, here: the region in which a declaration is visible,
          and the region in which it is directly visible.

29.r
          Visibility is defined only for declarations.

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 95_

29.s/2
          {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} Added rules to handle the
          inheritance and overriding of multiple homographs for a single
          type declaration, in order to support multiple inheritance
          from interfaces.  The new rules are intended to be compatible
          with the existing rules so that programs that do not use
          interfaces do not change their legality.  However, there is a
          very rare case where this is not true:

29.t/2
               generic
                  type T1 is private;
                  type T2 is private;
               package G is
                  type T is null record;
                  procedure P (X : T; Y : T1);
                  procedure P (X : T; Z : T2);
               end G;]

29.u/2
               package I is new G (Integer, Integer); -- <Exports homographs of P.>

29.v/2
               type D is new I.T; -- <Both Ps are inherited.>

29.w/2
               Obj : D;

29.x/2
               P (Obj, Z => 10); -- <Legal in Ada 95, illegal in Ada 2005.>

29.y/2
          The call to P would resolve in Ada 95 by using the parameter
          name, while the procedures P would be hidden from all
          visibility in Ada 2005 and thus would not resolve.  This case
          doesn't seem worth making the rules any more complex than they
          already are.

29.z/2
          {<AI95-00377-01AI95-00377-01>} Amendment Correction: A
          with_clause is illegal if it would create a homograph of an
          implicitly declared generic child (see *note 10.1.1::).  An
          Ada 95 compiler could have allowed this, but which unit of the
          two units involved would be denoted wasn't specified, so any
          successful use isn't portable.  Removing one of the two
          with_clauses involved will fix the problem.

8.3.1 Overriding Indicators
---------------------------

1/2
{<AI95-00218-03AI95-00218-03>} An overriding_indicator is used to
declare that an operation is intended to override (or not override) an
inherited operation.

                               _Syntax_

2/2
     {<AI95-00218-03AI95-00218-03>} overriding_indicator ::=
     [not] overriding

{<AI95-00218-03AI95-00218-03>} {<AI95-00348-01AI95-00348-01>}
{<AI95-00397-01AI95-00397-01>} {<AI05-0177-1AI05-0177-1>} If an
abstract_subprogram_declaration (*note 3.9.3: S0076.),
null_procedure_declaration (*note 6.7: S0188.),
expression_function_declaration (*note 6.8: S0189.), subprogram_body,
subprogram_body_stub (*note 10.1.3: S0259.),
subprogram_renaming_declaration (*note 8.5.4: S0203.),
generic_instantiation (*note 12.3: S0276.) of a subprogram, or
subprogram_declaration (*note 6.1: S0163.) other than a protected
subprogram has an overriding_indicator (*note 8.3.1: S0195.), then:

4/2
   * the operation shall be a primitive operation for some type;

5/2
   * if the overriding_indicator is overriding, then the operation shall
     override a homograph at the place of the declaration or body;

5.a/3
          To be honest: {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} This doesn't require
          that the overriding happen at precisely the place of the
          declaration or body; it only requires that the region in which
          the overriding is known to have happened includes this place.
          That is, the overriding can happen at or before the place of
          the declaration or body.

6/2
   * if the overriding_indicator is not overriding, then the operation
     shall not override any homograph (at any place).

7/2
In addition to the places where Legality Rules normally apply, these
rules also apply in the private part of an instance of a generic unit.

7.a/2
          Discussion: The overriding and not overriding rules differ
          slightly.  For overriding, we want the indicator to reflect
          the overriding state at the place of the declaration;
          otherwise the indicator would be "lying".  Whether a homograph
          is implicitly declared after the declaration (see 7.3.1 to see
          how this can happen) has no impact on this check.  However,
          not overriding is different; "lying" would happen if a
          homograph declared later actually is overriding.  So, we
          require this check to take into account later overridings.
          That can be implemented either by looking ahead, or by
          rechecking when additional operations are declared.

7.b/2
          The "no lying" rules are needed to prevent a
          subprogram_declaration and subprogram_body from having
          contradictory overriding_indicators.

     NOTES

8/2
     8  {<AI95-00397-01AI95-00397-01>} Rules for overriding_indicators
     of task and protected entries and of protected subprograms are
     found in *note 9.5.2:: and *note 9.4::, respectively.

                              _Examples_

9/2
{<AI95-00433-01AI95-00433-01>} The use of overriding_indicators allows
the detection of errors at compile-time that otherwise might not be
detected at all.  For instance, we might declare a security queue
derived from the Queue interface of 3.9.4 as:

10/2
     type Security_Queue is new Queue with record ...;

11/2
     overriding
     procedure Append(Q : in out Security_Queue; Person : in Person_Name);

12/2
     overriding
     procedure Remove_First(Q : in out Security_Queue; Person : in Person_Name);

13/2
     overriding
     function Cur_Count(Q : in Security_Queue) return Natural;

14/2
     overriding
     function Max_Count(Q : in Security_Queue) return Natural;

15/2
     not overriding
     procedure Arrest(Q : in out Security_Queue; Person : in Person_Name);

16/2
The first four subprogram declarations guarantee that these subprograms
will override the four subprograms inherited from the Queue interface.
A misspelling in one of these subprograms will be detected by the
implementation.  Conversely, the declaration of Arrest guarantees that
this is a new operation.

16.a/2
          Discussion: In this case, the subprograms are abstract, so
          misspellings will get detected anyway.  But for other
          subprograms (especially when deriving from concrete types),
          the error might never be detected, and a body other than the
          one the programmer intended might be executed without warning.
          Thus our new motto: "Overriding indicators -- don't derive a
          type without them!"

                        _Extensions to Ada 95_

16.b/2
          {<AI95-00218-03AI95-00218-03>} Overriding_indicators are new.
          These let the programmer state her overriding intentions to
          the compiler; if the compiler disagrees, an error will be
          produced rather than a hard to find bug.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

16.c/3
          {<AI95-0177-1AI95-0177-1>} Expression functions can have
          overriding indicators.

8.4 Use Clauses
===============

1
[A use_package_clause achieves direct visibility of declarations that
appear in the visible part of a package; a use_type_clause achieves
direct visibility of the primitive operators of a type.]

                     _Language Design Principles_

1.a
          If and only if the visibility rules allow P.A, "use P;" should
          make A directly visible (barring name conflicts).  This means,
          for example, that child library units, and generic formals of
          a formal package whose formal_package_actual_part is (<>),
          should be made visible by a use_clause for the appropriate
          package.

1.b
          The rules for use_clauses were carefully constructed to avoid
          so-called <Beaujolais> effects, where the addition or removal
          of a single use_clause, or a single declaration in a "use"d
          package, would change the meaning of a program from one legal
          interpretation to another.

                               _Syntax_

2
     use_clause ::= use_package_clause | use_type_clause

3
     use_package_clause ::= use <package_>name {, <package_>name};

4/3
     {<AI05-0150-1AI05-0150-1>} use_type_clause ::= use [all] type 
     subtype_mark {, subtype_mark};

                           _Legality Rules_

5/2
{<AI95-00217-06AI95-00217-06>} A <package_>name of a use_package_clause
shall denote a nonlimited view of a package.

5.a
          Ramification: This includes formal packages.

                          _Static Semantics_

6
For each use_clause, there is a certain region of text called the
<scope> of the use_clause.  For a use_clause within a context_clause of
a library_unit_declaration or library_unit_renaming_declaration, the
scope is the entire declarative region of the declaration.  For a
use_clause within a context_clause of a body, the scope is the entire
body [and any subunits (including multiply nested subunits).  The scope
does not include context_clauses themselves.]

7
For a use_clause immediately within a declarative region, the scope is
the portion of the declarative region starting just after the use_clause
and extending to the end of the declarative region.  However, the scope
of a use_clause in the private part of a library unit does not include
the visible part of any public descendant of that library unit.

7.a
          Reason: The exception echoes the similar exception for
          "immediate scope (of a declaration)" (see *note 8.2::).  It
          makes use_clauses work like this:

7.b
               package P is
                   type T is range 1..10;
               end P;

7.c
               with P;
               package Parent is
               private
                   use P;
                   X : T;
               end Parent;

7.d
               package Parent.Child is
                   Y : T; --< Illegal!>
                   Z : P.T;
               private
                   W : T;
               end Parent.Child;

7.e
          The declaration of Y is illegal because the scope of the "use
          P" does not include that place, so T is not directly visible
          there.  The declarations of X, Z, and W are legal.

7.1/2
{<AI95-00217-06AI95-00217-06>} A package is <named> in a
use_package_clause if it is denoted by a <package_>name of that clause.
A type is <named> in a use_type_clause if it is determined by a
subtype_mark of that clause.

8/3
{<AI95-00217-06AI95-00217-06>} {<AI05-0150-1AI05-0150-1>} For each
package named in a use_package_clause whose scope encloses a place, each
declaration that occurs immediately within the declarative region of the
package is <potentially use-visible> at this place if the declaration is
visible at this place.  For each type <T> or <T>'Class named in a
use_type_clause whose scope encloses a place, the declaration of each
primitive operator of type <T> is potentially use-visible at this place
if its declaration is visible at this place.  If a use_type_clause whose
scope encloses a place includes the reserved word all, then the
following entities are also potentially use-visible at this place if the
declaration of the entity is visible at this place:

8.1/3
   * {<AI05-0150-1AI05-0150-1>} Each primitive subprogram of <T>
     including each enumeration literal (if any);

8.2/3
   * {<AI05-0150-1AI05-0150-1>} Each subprogram that is declared
     immediately within the declarative region in which an ancestor type
     of <T> is declared and that operates on a class-wide type that
     covers <T>.

8.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0150-1AI05-0150-1>} Primitive subprograms
          whose defining name is an identifier are <not> made
          potentially visible by a use_type_clause unless reserved word
          all is included.  A use_type_clause without all is only for
          operators.

8.b
          The semantics described here should be similar to the
          semantics for expanded names given in *note 4.1.3::, "*note
          4.1.3:: Selected Components" so as to achieve the effect
          requested by the "principle of equivalence of use_clauses and
          selected_components."  Thus, child library units and generic
          formal parameters of a formal package are potentially
          use-visible when their enclosing package is use'd.

8.c
          The "visible at that place" part implies that applying a
          use_clause to a parent unit does not make all of its children
          use-visible -- only those that have been made visible by a
          with_clause.  It also implies that we don't have to worry
          about hiding in the definition of "directly visible" -- a
          declaration cannot be use-visible unless it is visible.

8.d
          Note that "use type T'Class;" is equivalent to "use type T;",
          which helps avoid breaking the generic contract model.

8.3/3
{<AI05-0131-1AI05-0131-1>} Certain implicit declarations may become
potentially use-visible in certain contexts as described in *note
12.6::.

9
A declaration is <use-visible> if it is potentially use-visible, except
in these naming-conflict cases:

10
   * A potentially use-visible declaration is not use-visible if the
     place considered is within the immediate scope of a homograph of
     the declaration.

11
   * Potentially use-visible declarations that have the same identifier
     are not use-visible unless each of them is an overloadable
     declaration.

11.a
          Ramification: Overloadable declarations don't cancel each
          other out, even if they are homographs, though if they are not
          distinguishable by formal parameter names or the presence or
          absence of default_expressions, any use will be ambiguous.  We
          only mention identifiers here, because declarations named by
          operator_symbols are always overloadable, and hence never
          cancel each other.  Direct visibility is irrelevant for
          character_literals.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

12
The elaboration of a use_clause has no effect.

                              _Examples_

13
<Example of a use clause in a context clause:>

14
     with Ada.Calendar; use Ada;

15
<Example of a use type clause:>

16
     use type Rational_Numbers.Rational; --< see *note 7.1::>
     Two_Thirds: Rational_Numbers.Rational := 2/3;

16.a
          Ramification: In "use X, Y;", Y cannot refer to something made
          visible by the "use" of X. Thus, it's not (quite) equivalent
          to "use X; use Y;".

16.b
          If a given declaration is already immediately visible, then a
          use_clause that makes it potentially use-visible has no
          effect.  Therefore, a use_type_clause for a type whose
          declaration appears in a place other than the visible part of
          a package has no effect; it cannot make a declaration
          use-visible unless that declaration is already immediately
          visible.

16.c
          "Use type S1;" and "use type S2;" are equivalent if S1 and S2
          are both subtypes of the same type.  In particular, "use type
          S;" and "use type S'Base;" are equivalent.

16.d
          Reason: We considered adding a rule that prevented several
          declarations of views of the same entity that all have the
          same semantics from cancelling each other out.  For example,
          if a (possibly implicit) subprogram_declaration for "+" is
          potentially use-visible, and a fully conformant renaming of it
          is also potentially use-visible, then they (annoyingly) cancel
          each other out; neither one is use-visible.  The considered
          rule would have made just one of them use-visible.  We gave up
          on this idea due to the complexity of the rule.  It would have
          had to account for both overloadable and nonoverloadable
          renaming_declarations, the case where the rule should apply
          only to some subset of the declarations with the same defining
          name, and the case of subtype_declarations (since they are
          claimed to be sufficient for renaming of subtypes).

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

16.e
          The use_type_clause is new to Ada 95.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

16.f
          The phrase "omitting from this set any packages that enclose
          this place" is no longer necessary to avoid making something
          visible outside its scope, because we explicitly state that
          the declaration has to be visible in order to be potentially
          use-visible.

          {<AI95-00217-06AI95-00217-06>} Limited views of packages are
          not allowed in use clauses.  Defined <named in a use clause>
          for use in other limited view rules (see *note 10.1.2::).

8.5 Renaming Declarations
=========================

1
[A renaming_declaration declares another name for an entity, such as an
object, exception, package, subprogram, entry, or generic unit.
Alternatively, a subprogram_renaming_declaration can be the completion
of a previous subprogram_declaration.]

1.a.1/2
          Glossary entry: A renaming_declaration is a declaration that
          does not define a new entity, but instead defines a view of an
          existing entity.

                               _Syntax_

2
     renaming_declaration ::=
           object_renaming_declaration
         | exception_renaming_declaration
         | package_renaming_declaration
         | subprogram_renaming_declaration
         | generic_renaming_declaration

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

3
The elaboration of a renaming_declaration evaluates the name that
follows the reserved word renames and thereby determines the view and
entity denoted by this name (the <renamed view> and <renamed entity>).
[A name that denotes the renaming_declaration denotes (a new view of)
the renamed entity.]

     NOTES

4
     9  Renaming may be used to resolve name conflicts and to act as a
     shorthand.  Renaming with a different identifier or operator_symbol
     does not hide the old name; the new name and the old name need not
     be visible at the same places.

5
     10  A task or protected object that is declared by an explicit
     object_declaration can be renamed as an object.  However, a single
     task or protected object cannot be renamed since the corresponding
     type is anonymous (meaning it has no nameable subtypes).  For
     similar reasons, an object of an anonymous array or access type
     cannot be renamed.

6
     11  A subtype defined without any additional constraint can be used
     to achieve the effect of renaming another subtype (including a task
     or protected subtype) as in

7
             subtype Mode is Ada.Text_IO.File_Mode;

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

7.a
          The second sentence of RM83-8.5(3), "At any point where a
          renaming declaration is visible, the identifier, or operator
          symbol of this declaration denotes the renamed entity."  is
          incorrect.  It doesn't say directly visible.  Also, such an
          identifier might resolve to something else.

7.b
          The verbiage about renamings being legal "only if exactly
          one...", which appears in RM83-8.5(4) (for objects) and
          RM83-8.5(7) (for subprograms) is removed, because it follows
          from the normal rules about overload resolution.  For language
          lawyers, these facts are obvious; for programmers, they are
          irrelevant, since failing these tests is highly unlikely.

type of the <object_>name shall have the same designated type as that of
the access_definition.  If the anonymous access type is an
access-to-subprogram type, the type of the <object_>name shall have a
designated profile that is type conformant with that of the
access_definition.

3.a
          Reason: A previous version of Ada 9X used the usual "expected
          type" wording:
          "The expected type for the <object_>name is that determined by
          the subtype_mark."
          We changed it so that this would be illegal:

3.b
               X: T;
               Y: T'Class renames X; --< Illegal!>

3.c
          When the above was legal, it was unclear whether Y was of type
          T or T'Class.  Note that we still allow this:

3.d
               Z: T'Class := ...;
               W: T renames F(Z);

3.e
          where F is a function with a controlling parameter and result.
          This is admittedly a bit odd.

3.f
          Note that the matching rule for generic formal parameters of
          mode in out was changed to keep it consistent with the rule
          for renaming.  That makes the rule different for in vs.  in
          out.

                           _Legality Rules_

The renamed entity shall be an object.

4.1/2
{<AI95-00231-01AI95-00231-01>} {<AI95-00409-01AI95-00409-01>} In the
case where the type is defined by an access_definition, the type of the
renamed object and the type defined by the access_definition:

4.2/2
   * {<AI95-00231-01AI95-00231-01>} {<AI95-00409-01AI95-00409-01>} shall
     both be access-to-object types with statically matching designated
     subtypes and with both or neither being access-to-constant types;
     or 

4.3/2
   * {<AI95-00409-01AI95-00409-01>} shall both be access-to-subprogram
     types with subtype conformant designated profiles.  

4.4/2
{<AI95-00423-01AI95-00423-01>} For an object_renaming_declaration with a
null_exclusion or an access_definition that has a null_exclusion:

4.5/2
   * if the <object_>name denotes a generic formal object of a generic
     unit <G>, and the object_renaming_declaration occurs within the
     body of <G> or within the body of a generic unit declared within
     the declarative region of <G>, then the declaration of the formal
     object of <G> shall have a null_exclusion;

4.6/2
   * otherwise, the subtype of the <object_>name shall exclude null.  In
     addition to the places where Legality Rules normally apply (see
     *note 12.3::), this rule applies also in the private part of an
     instance of a generic unit.

4.a/2
          Reason: This rule prevents "lying".  Null must never be the
          value of an object with an explicit null_exclusion.  The first
          bullet is an assume-the-worst rule which prevents trouble in
          one obscure case:

4.b/2
               type Acc_I is access Integer;
               subtype Acc_NN_I is not null Acc_I;
               Obj : Acc_I := null;

4.c/2
               generic
                  B : in out Acc_NN_I;
               package Gen is
                  ...
               end Gen;

4.d/2
               package body Gen is
                  D : not null Acc_I renames B;
               end Gen;

4.e/2
               package Inst is new Gen (B => Obj);

4.f/2
          Without the first bullet rule, D would be legal, and contain
          the value null, because the rule about lying is satisfied for
          generic matching (Obj matches B; B does not explicitly state
          not null), Legality Rules are not rechecked in the body of any
          instance, and the template passes the lying rule as well.  The
          rule is so complex because it has to apply to formals used in
          bodies of child generics as well as in the bodies of generics.

5/3
{<8652/00178652/0017>} {<AI95-00184-01AI95-00184-01>}
{<AI95-00363-01AI95-00363-01>} {<AI05-0008-1AI05-0008-1>} The renamed
entity shall not be a subcomponent that depends on discriminants of an
object whose nominal subtype is unconstrained unless the object is known
to be constrained.  A slice of an array shall not be renamed if this
restriction disallows renaming of the array.  In addition to the places
where Legality Rules normally apply, these rules apply also in the
private part of an instance of a generic unit.

5.a
          Reason: This prevents renaming of subcomponents that might
          disappear, which might leave dangling references.  Similar
          restrictions exist for the Access attribute.

5.a.1/3
          {<8652/00178652/0017>} {<AI95-00184-01AI95-00184-01>}
          {<AI05-0008-1AI05-0008-1>} The "recheck on instantiation"
          requirement on generics is necessary to avoid renaming of
          components which could disappear even when the nominal subtype
          would prevent the problem:

5.a.2/1
               type T1 (D1 : Boolean) is
                  record
                     case D1 is
                        when False =>
                           C1 : Integer;
                        when True =>
                           null;
                        end case;
                     end record;

5.a.3/1
               generic
                  type F is new T1;
                  X : in out F;
               package G is
                  C1_Ren : Integer renames X.C1;
               end G;

5.a.4/1
               type T2 (D2 : Boolean := False) is new T1 (D1 => D2);

               Y : T2;

               package I is new G (T2, Y);

               Y := (D1 => True); -- <Oops!  What happened to I.C1_Ren?>

5.a.5/3
          {<AI05-0008-1AI05-0008-1>} In addition, the "known to be
          constrained" rules include assume-the-worst rules for generic
          bodies partially to prevent such problems.

5.b
          Implementation Note: Note that if an implementation chooses to
          deallocate-then-reallocate on assignment_statement (*note 5.2:
          S0152.)s assigning to unconstrained definite objects, then it
          cannot represent renamings and access values as simple
          addresses, because the above rule does not apply to all
          components of such an object.

5.c
          Ramification: If it is a generic formal object, then the
          assume-the-best or assume-the-worst rules are applied as
          appropriate.

                          _Static Semantics_

6/2
{<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} {<AI95-00409-01AI95-00409-01>} An
object_renaming_declaration declares a new view [of the renamed object]
whose properties are identical to those of the renamed view.  [Thus, the
properties of the renamed object are not affected by the
renaming_declaration.  In particular, its value and whether or not it is
a constant are unaffected; similarly, the null exclusion or constraints
that apply to an object are not affected by renaming (any constraint
implied by the subtype_mark or access_definition of the
object_renaming_declaration is ignored).]

6.a
          Discussion: Because the constraints are ignored, it is a good
          idea to use the nominal subtype of the renamed object when
          writing an object_renaming_declaration.

6.b/2
          {<AI95-00409-01AI95-00409-01>} If no null_exclusion is given
          in the renaming, the object may or may not exclude null.  This
          is similar to the way that constraints need not match, and
          constant is not specified.  The renaming defines a view of the
          renamed entity, inheriting the original properties.

                              _Examples_

        L : Person renames Leftmost_Person; --< see *note 3.10.1::>

     end;

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

8.a
          The phrase "subtype ...  as defined in a corresponding object
          declaration, component declaration, or component subtype
          indication," from RM83-8.5(5), is incorrect in Ada 95;
          therefore we removed it.  It is incorrect in the case of an
          object with an indefinite unconstrained nominal subtype.

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 95_

8.b/2
          {<AI95-00363-01AI95-00363-01>} Aliased variables are not
          necessarily constrained in Ada 2005 (see *note 3.6::).
          Therefore, a subcomponent of an aliased variable may disappear
          or change shape, and renaming such a subcomponent thus is
          illegal, while the same operation would have been legal in Ada
          95.  Note that most allocated objects are still constrained by
          their initial value (see *note 4.8::), and thus have no change
          in the legality of renaming for them.  For example, using the
          type T2 of the previous example:

8.c/2
                  AT2 : aliased T2;
                  C1_Ren : Integer renames AT2.C1; -- <Illegal in Ada 2005, legal in Ada 95>
                  AT2 := (D1 => True);             -- <Raised Constraint_Error in Ada 95,>
                                                   -- <but does not in Ada 2005, so C1_Ren becomes>
                                                   -- <invalid when this is assigned.>

          A renaming can have an anonymous access type.  In that case,
          the accessibility of the renaming is that of the original
          object (accessibility is not lost as it is for assignment to a
          component or stand-alone object).

          {<AI95-00231-01AI95-00231-01>} {<AI95-00423-01AI95-00423-01>}
          A renaming can have a null_exclusion; if so, the renamed
          object must also exclude null, so that the null_exclusion does
          not lie.  On the other hand, if the renaming does not have a
          null_exclusion.  it excludes null if the renamed object does.

          description of when a discriminant-dependent component is
          allowed to be renamed -- it's now simply when the object is
          known to be constrained.  This fixes a confusion as to whether
          a subcomponent of an object that is not certain to be
          constrained can be renamed.  The fix introduces an
          incompatibility, as the rule did not apply in Ada 95 if the
          prefix was a constant; but it now applies no matter what kind
          of object is involved.  The incompatibility is not too bad,
          since most kinds of constants are known to be constrained.

          want to make an implicit limited view, as those are not

          Reason: The otherwise part of the second sentence is to allow
          an implementation of a renaming-as-body as a single jump
          instruction to the target subprogram.  Among other things,
          this prevents a subprogram from being completed with a
          renaming of an entry.  (In most cases, the target of the jump
          can be filled in at link time.  In some cases, such as a
          renaming of a name like "A(I).all", an indirect jump is
          needed.  Note that the name is evaluated at renaming time, not
          at call time.)

5.a.1/1
          {<8652/00288652/0028>} {<AI95-00145-01AI95-00145-01>} The
          first part of the second sentence is intended to allow
          renaming-as-body of predefined operators before the
          subprogram_declaration is frozen.  For some types (such as
          integer types), the parameter type for operators is the base
          type, and it would be very strange for
             function Equal (A, B : in T) return Boolean;
             function Equal (A, B : in T) return Boolean renames "=";
          to be illegal.  (Note that predefined operators cannot be
          renamed this way after the subprogram_declaration is frozen,
          as they have convention Intrinsic.)

5.b/1
          The first sentence is the normal rule for completions of
          subprogram_declarations.

5.c
          Ramification: An entry_declaration, unlike a
          subprogram_declaration, cannot be completed with a
          renaming_declaration (*note 8.5: S0199.).  Nor can a
          generic_subprogram_declaration (*note 12.1: S0272.).

5.d
          The syntax rules prevent a protected subprogram declaration
          from being completed by a renaming.  This is fortunate,
          because it allows us to avoid worrying about whether the
          implicit protected object parameter of a protected operation
          is involved in the conformance rules.

5.d.1/1
          Reason: {<8652/00278652/0027>} {<AI95-00135-01AI95-00135-01>}
          Circular renames before freezing is illegal, as the compiler
          would not be able to determine the convention of the
          subprogram.  Other circular renames are handled below; see
          Bounded (Run-Time) Errors.

5.1/2
{<AI95-00228-01AI95-00228-01>} The <callable_entity_>name of a renaming
shall not denote a subprogram that requires overriding (see *note
3.9.3::).

5.d.2/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00228-01AI95-00228-01>} Such a rename cannot be
          of the inherited subprogram (which requires overriding because
          it cannot be called), and thus cannot squirrel away a
          subprogram (see below).  That would be confusing, so we make
          it illegal.  The renaming is allowed after the overriding, as
          then the name will denote the overriding subprogram, not the
          inherited one.

5.2/2
{<AI95-00228-01AI95-00228-01>} The <callable_entity_>name of a
renaming-as-body shall not denote an abstract subprogram.

5.d.3/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00228-01AI95-00228-01>} Such a subprogram has
          no body, so it hardly can replace one in the program.

6
A name that denotes a formal parameter of the subprogram_specification
is not allowed within the <callable_entity_>name.

6.a
          Reason: This is to prevent things like this:

6.b
               function F(X : Integer) return Integer renames Table(X).all;

6.c
          A similar rule in *note 6.1:: forbids things like this:

6.d
               function F(X : Integer; Y : Integer := X) return Integer;

                          _Static Semantics_

7
A renaming-as-declaration declares a new view of the renamed entity.
The profile of this new view takes its subtypes, parameter modes, and
calling convention from the original profile of the callable entity,
while taking the formal parameter names and default_expressions from the
profile given in the subprogram_renaming_declaration.  The new view is a
function or procedure, never an entry.

7.a
          To be honest: When renaming an entry as a procedure, the
          compile-time rules apply as if the new view is a procedure,
          but the run-time semantics of a call are that of an entry
          call.

7.b
          Ramification: For example, it is illegal for the
          entry_call_statement of a timed_entry_call to call the new
          view.  But what looks like a procedure call will do things
          like barrier waiting.

7.b.1/3
          {<8652/01058652/0105>} {<AI95-00211-01AI95-00211-01>}
          {<AI95-00228-01AI95-00228-01>} {<AI05-0095-1AI05-0095-1>} All
          properties of the renamed entity are inherited by the new view
          unless otherwise stated by this International Standard.  In
          particular, if the renamed entity is abstract, the new view
          also is abstract.  Similarly, if the renamed entity is not a
          program unit, then neither is the renaming.  (Implicitly
          declared subprograms are not program units, see *note 10.1::).

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

7.1/1
{<8652/00148652/0014>} {<AI95-00064-01AI95-00064-01>} For a call to a
subprogram whose body is given as a renaming-as-body, the execution of
the renaming-as-body is equivalent to the execution of a subprogram_body
that simply calls the renamed subprogram with its formal parameters as
the actual parameters and, if it is a function, returns the value of the
call.

7.b.2/1
          Ramification: This implies that the subprogram completed by
          the renaming-as-body has its own elaboration check.

8/3
{<AI05-0123-1AI05-0123-1>} For a call on a renaming of a dispatching
subprogram that is overridden, if the overriding occurred before the
renaming, then the body executed is that of the overriding declaration,
even if the overriding declaration is not visible at the place of the
renaming; otherwise, the inherited or predefined subprogram is called.
A corresponding rule applies to a call on a renaming of a predefined
equality operator for an untagged record type.

8.a
          Discussion: Note that whether or not the renaming is itself
          primitive has nothing to do with the renamed subprogram.

8.b/3
          {<AI05-0123-1AI05-0123-1>} Note that the above rule is only
          for tagged types and equality of untagged record types.

8.c
          Consider the following example:

8.d
               package P is
                   type T is tagged null record;
                   function Predefined_Equal(X, Y : T) return Boolean renames "=";
               private
                   function "="(X, Y : T) return Boolean; --< Override predefined "=".>
               end P;

8.e
               with P; use P;
               package Q is
                   function User_Defined_Equal(X, Y : T) return Boolean renames P."=";
               end Q;

8.f
          A call on Predefined_Equal will execute the predefined
          equality operator of T, whereas a call on User_Defined_Equal
          will execute the body of the overriding declaration in the
          private part of P.

8.g
          Thus a renaming allows one to squirrel away a copy of an
          inherited or predefined subprogram before later overriding it.

                      _Bounded (Run-Time) Errors_

8.1/1
{<8652/00278652/0027>} {<AI95-00135-01AI95-00135-01>} If a subprogram
directly or indirectly renames itself, then it is a bounded error to
call that subprogram.  Possible consequences are that Program_Error or
Storage_Error is raised, or that the call results in infinite recursion.

8.g.1/1
          Reason: {<8652/00278652/0027>} {<AI95-00135-01AI95-00135-01>}
          This has to be a bounded error, as it is possible for a
          renaming-as-body appearing in a package body to cause this
          problem.  Thus it is not possible in general to detect this
          problem at compile time.

     NOTES

9
     12  A procedure can only be renamed as a procedure.  A function
     whose defining_designator is either an identifier or an
     operator_symbol can be renamed with either an identifier or an
     operator_symbol; for renaming as an operator, the subprogram
     specification given in the renaming_declaration is subject to the
     rules given in *note 6.6:: for operator declarations.  Enumeration
     literals can be renamed as functions; similarly,
     attribute_references that denote functions (such as references to
     Succ and Pred) can be renamed as functions.  An entry can only be
     renamed as a procedure; the new name is only allowed to appear in
     contexts that allow a procedure name.  An entry of a family can be
     renamed, but an entry family cannot be renamed as a whole.

10
     13  The operators of the root numeric types cannot be renamed
     because the types in the profile are anonymous, so the
     corresponding specifications cannot be written; the same holds for
     certain attributes, such as Pos.

11
     14  Calls with the new name of a renamed entry are
     procedure_call_statements and are not allowed at places where the
     syntax requires an entry_call_statement in conditional_ and
     timed_entry_calls, nor in an asynchronous_select; similarly, the
     Count attribute is not available for the new name.

12
     15  The primitiveness of a renaming-as-declaration is determined by
     its profile, and by where it occurs, as for any declaration of (a
     view of) a subprogram; primitiveness is not determined by the
     renamed view.  In order to perform a dispatching call, the
     subprogram name has to denote a primitive subprogram, not a
     nonprimitive renaming of a primitive subprogram.

12.a
          Reason: A subprogram_renaming_declaration could more properly
          be called renaming_as_subprogram_declaration, since you're
          renaming something as a subprogram, but you're not necessarily
          renaming a subprogram.  But that's too much of a mouthful.
          Or, alternatively, we could call it a
          callable_entity_renaming_declaration, but that's even worse.
          Not only is it a mouthful, it emphasizes the entity being
          renamed, rather than the new view, which we think is a bad
          idea.  We'll live with the oddity.

          long as the overriding occurred before the renames.  This
          could change the body called in unusual cases; the change is
          necessary to preserve the principle that the body called for
          an explicit call to "=" (via a renames in this case) is the
          same as the one inherited for a derived type and used in
          generics.  Note that any renamings before the overriding will
          be unchanged.  Any differences caused by the change will be
          rare and most likely will fix a bug.

8.5.5 Generic Renaming Declarations
-----------------------------------

1
[A generic_renaming_declaration is used to rename a generic unit.]

                               _Syntax_

2/3
     {<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>} generic_renaming_declaration ::=
         generic package   
     defining_program_unit_name renames <generic_package_>name
             [aspect_specification];
       | generic procedure   
     defining_program_unit_name renames <generic_procedure_>name
             [aspect_specification];
       | generic function   
     defining_program_unit_name renames <generic_function_>name
             [aspect_specification];

                           _Legality Rules_

3
The renamed entity shall be a generic unit of the corresponding kind.

                          _Static Semantics_

4
A generic_renaming_declaration declares a new view [of the renamed
generic unit].

     NOTES

5
     16  Although the properties of the new view are the same as those
     of the renamed view, the place where the
     generic_renaming_declaration occurs may affect the legality of
     subsequent renamings and instantiations that denote the
     generic_renaming_declaration, in particular if the renamed generic
     unit is a library unit (see *note 10.1.1::).

                              _Examples_

6
<Example of renaming a generic unit:>

7
     generic package Enum_IO renames Ada.Text_IO.Enumeration_IO;  <-- see *note A.10.10::>

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

7.a
          Renaming of generic units is new to Ada 95.  It is
          particularly important for renaming child library units that
          are generic units.  For example, it might be used to rename
          Numerics.Generic_Elementary_Functions as simply
          Generic_Elementary_Functions, to match the name for the
          corresponding Ada-83-based package.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

7.b
          The information in RM83-8.6, "The Package Standard," has been
          updated for the child unit feature, and moved to *note Annex
          A::, except for the definition of "predefined type," which has
          been moved to *note 3.2.1::.

8.6 The Context of Overload Resolution
======================================

1/3
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} [ Because declarations can be overloaded, it
is possible for an occurrence of a usage name to have more than one
possible interpretation; in most cases, ambiguity is disallowed.  This
subclause describes how the possible interpretations resolve to the
actual interpretation.

2
Certain rules of the language (the Name Resolution Rules) are considered
"overloading rules".  If a possible interpretation violates an
overloading rule, it is assumed not to be the intended interpretation;
some other possible interpretation is assumed to be the actual
interpretation.  On the other hand, violations of nonoverloading rules
do not affect which interpretation is chosen; instead, they cause the
construct to be illegal.  To be legal, there usually has to be exactly
one acceptable interpretation of a construct that is a "complete
context", not counting any nested complete contexts.

3
The syntax rules of the language and the visibility rules given in *note
8.3:: determine the possible interpretations.  Most type checking rules
(rules that require a particular type, or a particular class of types,
for example) are overloading rules.  Various rules for the matching of
formal and actual parameters are overloading rules.]

                     _Language Design Principles_

3.a
          The type resolution rules are intended to minimize the need
          for implicit declarations and preference rules associated with
          implicit conversion and dispatching operations.

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

4
[Overload resolution is applied separately to each <complete context>,
not counting inner complete contexts.]  Each of the following constructs
is a <complete context>:

5
   * A context_item.

6
   * A declarative_item or declaration.

6.a
          Ramification: A loop_parameter_specification is a declaration,
          and hence a complete context.

7
   * A statement.

8
   * A pragma_argument_association.

8.a
          Reason: We would make it the whole pragma, except that certain
          pragma arguments are allowed to be ambiguous, and ambiguity
          applies to a complete context.

9/4
   * {<AI12-0040-1AI12-0040-1>} The <selecting_>expression of a
     case_statement or case_expression.

9.a
          Ramification: This means that the expression is resolved
          without looking at the choices.

10
An (overall) <interpretation> of a complete context embodies its
meaning, and includes the following information about the constituents
of the complete context, not including constituents of inner complete
contexts:

11
   * for each constituent of the complete context, to which syntactic
     categories it belongs, and by which syntax rules; and

11.a
          Ramification: Syntactic categor<ies> is plural here, because
          there are lots of trivial productions -- an expression might
          also be all of the following, in this order: identifier, name,
          primary, factor, term, simple_expression, and relation.
          Basically, we're trying to capture all the information in the
          parse tree here, without using compiler-writer's jargon like
          "parse tree".

12
   * for each usage name, which declaration it denotes (and, therefore,
     which view and which entity it denotes); and

12.a/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00382-01AI95-00382-01>} In most cases, a
          usage name denotes the view declared by the denoted
          declaration.  However, in certain cases, a usage name that
          denotes a declaration and appears inside the declarative
          region of that same declaration, denotes the current instance
          of the declaration.  For example, within a task_body other
          than in an access_definition, a usage name that denotes the
          task_type_declaration denotes the object containing the
          currently executing task, and not the task type declared by
          the declaration.

13
   * for a complete context that is a declarative_item, whether or not
     it is a completion of a declaration, and (if so) which declaration
     it completes.

13.a
          Ramification: Unfortunately, we are not confident that the
          above list is complete.  We'll have to live with that.

13.b
          To be honest: For "possible" interpretations, the above
          information is tentative.

13.c
          Discussion: A possible interpretation (an <input> to overload
          resolution) contains information about what a usage name
          <might> denote, but what it actually <does> denote requires
          overload resolution to determine.  Hence the term "tentative"
          is needed for possible interpretations; otherwise, the
          definition would be circular.

14
A <possible interpretation> is one that obeys the syntax rules and the
visibility rules.  An <acceptable interpretation> is a possible
interpretation that obeys the <overloading rules>[, that is, those rules
that specify an expected type or expected profile, or specify how a
construct shall <resolve> or be <interpreted>.]

14.a
          To be honest: One rule that falls into this category, but does
          not use the above-mentioned magic words, is the rule about
          numbers of parameter associations in a call (see *note 6.4::).

14.b
          Ramification: The Name Resolution Rules are the ones that
          appear under the Name Resolution Rules heading.  Some Syntax
          Rules are written in English, instead of BNF. No rule is a
          Syntax Rule or Name Resolution Rule unless it appears under
          the appropriate heading.

15
The <interpretation> of a constituent of a complete context is
determined from the overall interpretation of the complete context as a
whole.  [Thus, for example, "interpreted as a function_call," means that
the construct's interpretation says that it belongs to the syntactic
category function_call.]

16
[Each occurrence of] a usage name <denotes> the declaration determined
by its interpretation.  It also denotes the view declared by its denoted
declaration, except in the following cases:

16.a
          Ramification: As explained below, a pragma argument is allowed
          to be ambiguous, so it can denote several declarations, and
          all of the views declared by those declarations.

17/3
   * {<AI95-00382-01AI95-00382-01>} {<AI05-0287-1AI05-0287-1>} If a
     usage name appears within the declarative region of a
     type_declaration and denotes that same type_declaration, then it
     denotes the <current instance> of the type (rather than the type
     itself); the current instance of a type is the object or value of
     the type that is associated with the execution that evaluates the
     usage name.  Similarly, if a usage name appears within the
     declarative region of a subtype_declaration and denotes that same
     subtype_declaration, then it denotes the current instance of the
     subtype.  These rules do not apply if the usage name appears within
     the subtype_mark of an access_definition for an access-to-object
     type, or within the subtype of a parameter or result of an
     access-to-subprogram type.

17.a/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00382-01AI95-00382-01>} This is needed, for
          example, for references to the Access attribute from within
          the type_declaration.  Also, within a task_body or
          protected_body, we need to be able to denote the current task
          or protected object.  (For a single_task_declaration or
          single_protected_declaration, the rule about current instances
          is not needed.)  We exclude anonymous access types so that
          they can be used to create self-referencing types in the
          natural manner (otherwise such types would be illegal).

17.b/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00382-01AI95-00382-01>} The phrase "within
          the subtype_mark" in the "this rule does not apply" part is
          intended to cover a case like access T'Class appearing within
          the declarative region of T: here T denotes the type, not the
          current instance.

17.1/4
     {<AI12-0068-1AI12-0068-1>} Within an aspect_specification for a
     type or subtype, the current instance represents a value of the
     type; it is not an object.  The nominal subtype of this value is
     given by the subtype itself (the first subtype in the case of a
     type_declaration), prior to applying any predicate specified
     directly on the type or subtype.  If the type or subtype is
     by-reference, the associated object with the value is the object
     associated (see *note 6.2::) with the execution of the usage name.

17.c/4
          Ramification: For the purposes of Legality Rules, the current
          instance acts as a value within an aspect_specification.  It
          might really be an object (and has to be for a by-reference
          type), but that isn't discoverable by direct use of the name
          of the current instance.

18
   * If a usage name appears within the declarative region of a
     generic_declaration (but not within its generic_formal_part) and it
     denotes that same generic_declaration, then it denotes the <current
     instance> of the generic unit (rather than the generic unit
     itself).  See also *note 12.3::.

18.a
          To be honest: The current instance of a generic unit is the
          instance created by whichever generic_instantiation is of
          interest at any given time.

18.b
          Ramification: Within a generic_formal_part, a name that
          denotes the generic_declaration denotes the generic unit,
          which implies that it is not overloadable.

19
A usage name that denotes a view also denotes the entity of that view.

19.a
          Ramification: Usually, a usage name denotes only one
          declaration, and therefore one view and one entity.

20/2
{<AI95-00231-01AI95-00231-01>} The <expected type> for a given
expression, name, or other construct determines, according to the <type
resolution rules> given below, the types considered for the construct
during overload resolution.  [ The type resolution rules provide support
for class-wide programming, universal literals, dispatching operations,
and anonymous access types:]

20.a
          Ramification: Expected types are defined throughout the RM95.
          The most important definition is that, for a subprogram, the
          expected type for the actual parameter is the type of the
          formal parameter.

20.b
          The type resolution rules are trivial unless either the actual
          or expected type is universal, class-wide, or of an anonymous
          access type.

21
   * If a construct is expected to be of any type in a class of types,
     or of the universal or class-wide type for a class, then the type
     of the construct shall resolve to a type in that class or to a
     universal type that covers the class.

21.a
          Ramification: This matching rule handles (among other things)
          cases like the Val attribute, which denotes a function that
          takes a parameter of type <universal_integer>.

21.b/1
          The last part of the rule, "or to a universal type that covers
          the class" implies that if the expected type for an expression
          is <universal_fixed>, then an expression whose type is
          <universal_real> (such as a real literal) is OK.

22
   * If the expected type for a construct is a specific type <T>, then
     the type of the construct shall resolve either to <T>, or:

22.a
          Ramification: This rule is <not> intended to create a
          preference for the specific type -- such a preference would
          cause Beaujolais effects.

23
             * to <T>'Class; or

23.a
          Ramification: This will only be legal as part of a call on a
          dispatching operation; see *note 3.9.2::, "*note 3.9.2::
          Dispatching Operations of Tagged Types".  Note that that rule
          is not a Name Resolution Rule.

24
             * to a universal type that covers <T>; or

               {<AI95-00409-01AI95-00409-01>} when <T> is a specific
               anonymous access-to-object type (see *note 3.10::) with
               designated type <D>, to an access-to-object type whose
               designated type is <D>'Class or is covered by <D>; or

25.a/2
          <This paragraph was deleted.>{<AI95-00409-01AI95-00409-01>}

25.b
          Ramification: The case where the actual is access-to-<D>'Class
          will only be legal as part of a call on a dispatching
          operation; see *note 3.9.2::, "*note 3.9.2:: Dispatching
          Operations of Tagged Types".  Note that that rule is not a
          Name Resolution Rule.

25.1/3
             * {<AI05-0149-1AI05-0149-1>} when <T> is a named general
               access-to-object type (see *note 3.10::) with designated
               type <D>, to an anonymous access-to-object type whose
               designated type covers or is covered by <D>; or

               when <T> is an anonymous access-to-subprogram type (see
               *note 3.10::), to an access-to-subprogram type whose
               designated profile is type conformant with that of <T>.

26
In certain contexts, [such as in a subprogram_renaming_declaration,] the
Name Resolution Rules define an <expected profile> for a given name; in
such cases, the name shall resolve to the name of a callable entity
whose profile is type conformant with the expected profile.  

26.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0239-1AI05-0239-1>} The parameter and
          result <sub>types are not used in overload resolution.  Only
          type conformance of profiles is considered during overload
          resolution.  Legality rules generally require at least mode
          conformance in addition, but those rules are not used in
          overload resolution.

                           _Legality Rules_

27/2
{<AI95-00332-01AI95-00332-01>} When a construct is one that requires
that its expected type be a <single> type in a given class, the type of
the construct shall be determinable solely from the context in which the
construct appears, excluding the construct itself, but using the
requirement that it be in the given class.  Furthermore, the context
shall not be one that expects any type in some class that contains types
of the given class; in particular, the construct shall not be the
operand of a type_conversion.

27.a/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} For example, the
          expected type for a string literal is required to be a single
          string type.  But the expected type for the operand of a
          type_conversion is any type.  Therefore, a string literal is
          not allowed as the operand of a type_conversion.  This is true
          even if there is only one string type in scope (which is never
          the case).  The reason for these rules is so that the compiler
          will not have to search "everywhere" to see if there is
          exactly one type in a class in scope.

27.b/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00332-01AI95-00332-01>} The first sentence
          is carefully worded so that it only mentions "expected type"
          as part of identifying the interesting case, but doesn't
          require that the context actually provide such an expected
          type.  This allows such constructs to be used inside of
          constructs that don't provide an expected type (like qualified
          expressions and renames).  Otherwise, such constructs wouldn't
          allow aggregates, 'Access, and so on.

27.1/4
{<AI05-0102-1AI05-0102-1>} {<AI05-0149-1AI05-0149-1>}
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} {<AI12-0039-1AI12-0039-1>} Other than for the
<tested_>simple_expression of a membership test, if the expected type
for a name or expression is not the same as the actual type of the name
or expression, the actual type shall be convertible to the expected type
(see *note 4.6::); further, if the expected type is a named
access-to-object type with designated type <D1> and the actual type is
an anonymous access-to-object type with designated type <D2>, then <D1>
shall cover <D2>, and the name or expression shall denote a view with an
accessibility level for which the statically deeper relationship
applies[; in particular it shall not denote an access parameter nor a
stand-alone access object].

27.c/3
          Reason: This rule prevents an implicit conversion that would
          be illegal if it was an explicit conversion.  For instance,
          this prevents assigning an access-to-constant value into a
          stand-alone anonymous access-to-variable object.  It also
          covers convertibility of the designated type and accessibility
          checks.

27.d/3
          The rule also minimizes cases of implicit conversions when the
          tag check or the accessibility check might fail.  We word it
          this way because access discriminants should also be
          disallowed if their enclosing object is designated by an
          access parameter.

27.e/3
          Ramification: This rule does not apply to expressions that
          don't have expected types (such as the operand of a qualified
          expression or the expression of a renames).  We don't need a
          rule like this in those cases, as the type needs to be the
          same; there is no implicit conversion.

28
A complete context shall have at least one acceptable interpretation; if
there is exactly one, then that one is chosen.

28.a
          Ramification: This, and the rule below about ambiguity, are
          the ones that suck in all the Syntax Rules and Name Resolution
          Rules as compile-time rules.  Note that this and the ambiguity
          rule have to be Legality Rules.

29
There is a <preference> for the primitive operators (and ranges) of the
root numeric types <root_integer> and <root_real>.  In particular, if
two acceptable interpretations of a constituent of a complete context
differ only in that one is for a primitive operator (or range) of the
type <root_integer> or <root_real>, and the other is not, the
interpretation using the primitive operator (or range) of the root
numeric type is <preferred>.

29.a
          Reason: The reason for this preference is so that expressions
          involving literals and named numbers can be unambiguous.  For
          example, without the preference rule, the following would be
          ambiguous:

29.b/1
               N : constant := 123;
               if N > 100 then --< Preference for root_integer ">" operator.>
                   ...
               end if;

29.1/3
{<AI05-0149-1AI05-0149-1>} Similarly, there is a preference for the
equality operators of the <universal_access> type (see *note 4.5.2::).
If two acceptable interpretations of a constituent of a complete context
differ only in that one is for an equality operator of the
<universal_access> type, and the other is not, the interpretation using
the equality operator of the <universal_access> type is preferred.

29.c/3
          Reason: This preference is necessary because of implicit
          conversion from an anonymous access type to a named access
          type, which would allow the equality operator of any named
          access type to be used to compare anonymous access values (and
          that way lies madness).

30
For a complete context, if there is exactly one overall acceptable
interpretation where each constituent's interpretation is the same as or
preferred (in the above sense) over those in all other overall
acceptable interpretations, then that one overall acceptable
interpretation is chosen.  Otherwise, the complete context is
<ambiguous>.

31
A complete context other than a pragma_argument_association shall not be
ambiguous.

32
A complete context that is a pragma_argument_association is allowed to
be ambiguous (unless otherwise specified for the particular pragma), but
only if every acceptable interpretation of the pragma argument is as a
name that statically denotes a callable entity.  Such a name denotes all
of the declarations determined by its interpretations, and all of the
views declared by these declarations.

32.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI95-00224-01AI95-00224-01>}
          {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} This applies to Inline, Suppress,
          Import, Export, and Convention pragmas.  For example, it is OK
          to say "pragma Export(C, Entity_Name => P.Q);", even if there
          are two directly visible P's, and there are two Q's declared
          in the visible part of each P. In this case, P.Q denotes four
          different declarations.  This rule also applies to certain
          pragmas defined in the Specialized Needs Annexes.  It almost
          applies to Pure, Elaborate_Body, and Elaborate_All pragmas,
          but those can't have overloading for other reasons.  Note that
          almost all of these pragmas are obsolescent (see *note J.10::
          and *note J.15::), and a major reason is that this rule has
          proven to be too broad in practice (it is common to want to
          specify something on a single subprogram of an overloaded set,
          that can't be done easily with this rule).
          Aspect_specifications, which are given on individual
          declarations, are preferred in Ada 2012.

32.b
          Note that if a pragma argument denotes a <call> to a callable
          entity, rather than the entity itself, this exception does not
          apply, and ambiguity is disallowed.

32.c
          Note that we need to carefully define which pragma-related
          rules are Name Resolution Rules, so that, for example, a
          pragma Inline does not pick up subprograms declared in
          enclosing declarative regions, and therefore make itself
          illegal.

32.d
          We say "statically denotes" in the above rule in order to
          avoid having to worry about how many times the name is
          evaluated, in case it denotes more than one callable entity.

     NOTES

33
     17  If a usage name has only one acceptable interpretation, then it
     denotes the corresponding entity.  However, this does not mean that
     the usage name is necessarily legal since other requirements exist
     which are not considered for overload resolution; for example, the
     fact that an expression is static, whether an object is constant,
     mode and subtype conformance rules, freezing rules, order of
     elaboration, and so on.

34
     Similarly, subtypes are not considered for overload resolution (the
     violation of a constraint does not make a program illegal but
     raises an exception during program execution).

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 83_

34.a
          The new preference rule for operators of root numeric types is
          upward incompatible, but only in cases that involved
          <Beaujolais> effects in Ada 83.  Such cases are ambiguous in
          Ada 95.

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

34.b
          The rule that allows an expected type to match an actual
          expression of a universal type, in combination with the new
          preference rule for operators of root numeric types, subsumes
          the Ada 83 "implicit conversion" rules for universal types.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

34.c
          In Ada 83, it is not clear what the "syntax rules" are.
          AI83-00157 states that a certain textual rule is a syntax
          rule, but it's still not clear how one tells in general which
          textual rules are syntax rules.  We have solved the problem by
          stating exactly which rules are syntax rules -- the ones that
          appear under the "Syntax" heading.

34.d
          RM83 has a long list of the "forms" of rules that are to be
          used in overload resolution (in addition to the syntax rules).
          It is not clear exactly which rules fall under each form.  We
          have solved the problem by explicitly marking all rules that
          are used in overload resolution.  Thus, the list of kinds of
          rules is unnecessary.  It is replaced with some introductory
          (intentionally vague) text explaining the basic idea of what
          sorts of rules are overloading rules.

34.e/3
          {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} It is not clear from RM83 what
          information is embodied in a "meaning" or an "interpretation."
          "Meaning" and "interpretation" were intended to be synonymous;
          we now use the latter only in defining the rules about
          overload resolution.  "Meaning" is used only informally.  This
          subclause attempts to clarify what is meant by
          "interpretation."

34.f
          For example, RM83 does not make it clear that overload
          resolution is required in order to match subprogram_bodies
          with their corresponding declarations (and even to tell
          whether a given subprogram_body is the completion of a
          previous declaration).  Clearly, the information needed to do
          this is part of the "interpretation" of a subprogram_body.
          The resolution of such things is defined in terms of the
          "expected profile" concept.  Ada 95 has some new cases where
          expected profiles are needed -- the resolution of P'Access,
          where P might denote a subprogram, is an example.

34.g
          RM83-8.7(2) might seem to imply that an interpretation
          embodies information about what is denoted by each usage name,
          but not information about which syntactic category each
          construct belongs to.  However, it seems necessary to include
          such information, since the Ada grammar is highly ambiguous.
          For example, X(Y) might be a function_call or an
          indexed_component, and no context-free/syntactic information
          can tell the difference.  It seems like we should view X(Y) as
          being, for example, "interpreted as a function_call" (if
          that's what overload resolution decides it is).  Note that
          there are examples where the denotation of each usage name
          does not imply the syntactic category.  However, even if that
          were not true, it seems that intuitively, the interpretation
          includes that information.  Here's an example:

34.h
               type T;
               type A is access T;
               type T is array(Integer range 1..10) of A;
               I : Integer := 3;
               function F(X : Integer := 7) return A;
               Y : A := F(I); --< Ambiguous? (We hope so.)>

34.i/1
          Consider the declaration of Y (a complete context).  In the
          above example, overload resolution can easily determine the
          declaration, and therefore the entity, denoted by Y, A, F, and
          I. However, given all of that information, we still don't know
          whether F(I) is a function_call or an indexed_component whose
          prefix is a function_call.  (In the latter case, it is
          equivalent to F(7).all(I).)

34.j
          It seems clear that the declaration of Y ought to be
          considered ambiguous.  We describe that by saying that there
          are two interpretations, one as a function_call, and one as an
          indexed_component.  These interpretations are both acceptable
          to the overloading rules.  Therefore, the complete context is
          ambiguous, and therefore illegal.

34.k
          It is the intent that the Ada 95 preference rule for root
          numeric operators is more locally enforceable than that of
          RM83-4.6(15).  It should also eliminate interpretation shifts
          due to the addition or removal of a use_clause (the so called
          <Beaujolais> effect).

34.l/2
          {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} RM83-8.7 seems to be missing
          some complete contexts, such as pragma_argument_associations,
          declarative_items that are not declarations or aspect_clauses,
          and context_items.  We have added these, and also replaced the
          "must be determinable" wording of RM83-5.4(3) with the notion
          that the expression of a case_statement is a complete context.

34.m
          Cases like the Val attribute are now handled using the normal
          type resolution rules, instead of having special cases that
          explicitly allow things like "any integer type."

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 95_

34.n/2
          {<AI95-00409-01AI95-00409-01>} Ada 95 allowed name resolution
          to distinguish between anonymous access-to-variable and
          access-to-constant types.  This is similar to distinguishing
          between subprograms with in and in out parameters, which is
          known to be bad.  Thus, that part of the rule was dropped as
          we now have anonymous access-to-constant types, making this
          much more likely.

34.o/2
               type Cacc is access constant Integer;
               procedure Proc (Acc : access Integer) ...
               procedure Proc (Acc : Cacc) ...
               List : Cacc := ...;
               Proc (List); -- <OK in Ada 95, ambiguous in Ada 2005.>

34.p/2
          If there is any code like this (such code should be rare), it
          will be ambiguous in Ada 2005.

                        _Extensions to Ada 95_

34.q/2
          {<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} {<AI95-00231-01AI95-00231-01>}
          {<AI95-00254-01AI95-00254-01>} Generalized the anonymous
          access resolution rules to support the new capabilities of
          anonymous access types (that is, access-to-subprogram and
          access-to-constant).

34.r/2
          {<AI95-00382-01AI95-00382-01>} We now allow the creation of
          self-referencing types via anonymous access types.  This is an
          extension in unusual cases involving task and protected types.
          For example:

34.s/2
               task type T;

34.t/2
               task body T is
                  procedure P (X : access T) is -- <Illegal in Ada 95, legal in Ada 2005>
                     ...
                  end P;
               begin
                  ...
               end T;

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

34.u/2
          {<AI95-00332-01AI95-00332-01>} Corrected the "single expected
          type" so that it works in contexts that don't have expected
          types (like object renames and qualified expressions).  This
          fixes a hole in Ada 95 that appears to prohibit using
          aggregates, 'Access, character literals, string literals, and
          allocators in qualified expressions.

                   _Incompatibilities With Ada 2005_

34.v/3
          {<AI05-0149-1AI05-0149-1>} Implicit conversion is now allowed
          from anonymous access-to-object types to general
          access-to-object types.  Such conversions can make calls
          ambiguous.  That can only happen when there are two visible
          subprograms with the same name and have profiles that differ
          only by a parameter that is of a named or anonymous access
          type, and the actual argument is of an anonymous access type.
          This should be rare, as many possible calls would be ambiguous
          even in Ada 2005 (including allocators and any actual of a
          named access type if the designated types are the same).

                       _Extensions to Ada 2005_

34.w/3
          {<AI05-0149-1AI05-0149-1>} Implicit conversion is allowed from
          anonymous access-to-object types to general access-to-object
          types if the designated type is convertible and runtime checks
          are minimized.  See also the incompatibilities section.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

34.x/3
          {<AI05-0102-1AI05-0102-1>} Added a requirement here that
          implicit conversions are convertible to the appropriate type.
          This rule was scattered about the Standard, we moved a single
          generalized version here.

                    _Inconsistencies With Ada 2012_

34.y/4
          {<AI12-0068-1AI12-0068-1>} Corrigendum: Added a rule to
          specify that the current instance of a type or subtype is a
          value within an aspect_specification.  This could be
          inconsistent if a predicate or invariant uses the Constrained
          attribute on the current instance (it will always be False
          now, while it might have returned True in original Ada 2012).
          More likely, a usage of a current instance as a prefix of an
          attribute will become illegal (such as Size or Alignment).
          Any such code is very tricky.  Moreover, as this is a new
          feature of Ada 2012, there are not that many predicates and
          invariants, and the ones that exist are very unlikely to be
          this tricky.  Thus we do not believe that there will be any
          practical effect to this change, other than to explicitly
          allow common implementation strategies.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2012_

34.z/4
          {<AI12-0040-1AI12-0040-1>} Corrigendum: Added wording to
          clarify that the <selecting_>expression of a case_expression
          is a complete context, just like that of a case_statement.
          Clearly, everyone expects these to work the same way.
          Moreover, since it would be a lot of extra work to treat
          case_expressions differently, it is quite unlikely that any
          compiler would implement the much more complicated resolution
          necessary (and we are not aware of any that did).  Therefore,
          we didn't document this as a potential incompatibility.

9 Tasks and Synchronization
***************************

1/3
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} The execution of an Ada program consists of
the execution of one or more <tasks>.  Each task represents a separate
thread of control that proceeds independently and concurrently between
the points where it <interacts> with other tasks.  The various forms of
task interaction are described in this clause, and include: 

1.a
          To be honest: The execution of an Ada program consists of the
          execution of one or more partitions (see *note 10.2::), each
          of which in turn consists of the execution of an environment
          task and zero or more subtasks.

2
   * the activation and termination of a task;

3
   * a call on a protected subprogram of a <protected object>, providing
     exclusive read-write access, or concurrent read-only access to
     shared data;

4
   * a call on an entry, either of another task, allowing for
     synchronous communication with that task, or of a protected object,
     allowing for asynchronous communication with one or more other
     tasks using that same protected object;

5
   * a timed operation, including a simple delay statement, a timed
     entry call or accept, or a timed asynchronous select statement (see
     next item);

6
   * an asynchronous transfer of control as part of an asynchronous
     select statement, where a task stops what it is doing and begins
     execution at a different point in response to the completion of an
     entry call or the expiration of a delay;

7
   * an abort statement, allowing one task to cause the termination of
     another task.

8
In addition, tasks can communicate indirectly by reading and updating
(unprotected) shared variables, presuming the access is properly
synchronized through some other kind of task interaction.

                          _Static Semantics_

9
The properties of a task are defined by a corresponding task declaration
and task_body, which together define a program unit called a <task
unit>.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

10
Over time, tasks proceed through various <states>.  A task is initially
<inactive>; upon activation, and prior to its <termination> it is either
<blocked> (as part of some task interaction) or <ready> to run.  While
ready, a task competes for the available <execution resources> that it
requires to run.

10.a/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} The means for selecting
          which of the ready tasks to run, given the currently available
          execution resources, is determined by the <task dispatching
          policy> in effect, which is generally implementation defined,
          but may be controlled by aspects, pragmas, and operations
          defined in the Real-Time Annex (see *note D.2:: and *note
          D.5::).

     NOTES

11
     1  Concurrent task execution may be implemented on multicomputers,
     multiprocessors, or with interleaved execution on a single physical
     processor.  On the other hand, whenever an implementation can
     determine that the required semantic effects can be achieved when
     parts of the execution of a given task are performed by different
     physical processors acting in parallel, it may choose to perform
     them in this way.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

11.a
          The introduction has been rewritten.

11.b
          We use the term "concurrent" rather than "parallel" when
          talking about logically independent execution of threads of
          control.  The term "parallel" is reserved for referring to the
          situation where multiple physical processors run
          simultaneously.

9.1 Task Units and Task Objects
===============================

1
A task unit is declared by a <task declaration>, which has a
corresponding task_body.  A task declaration may be a
task_type_declaration, in which case it declares a named task type;
alternatively, it may be a single_task_declaration, in which case it
defines an anonymous task type, as well as declaring a named task object
of that type.

<Paragraph 8 was deleted.>

                          _Static Semantics_

9
A task_definition defines a task type and its first subtype.  The first
list of task_items of a task_definition (*note 9.1: S0207.), together
with the known_discriminant_part (*note 3.7: S0061.), if any, is called
the visible part of the task unit.  [ The optional list of task_items
after the reserved word private is called the private part of the task
unit.]

9.a/3
          Proof: {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} Private part is defined in
          Clause *note 8::.

9.1/1
{<8652/00298652/0029>} {<AI95-00116-01AI95-00116-01>} For a task
declaration without a task_definition, a task_definition without
task_items is assumed.

9.2/3
{<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} {<AI95-00397-01AI95-00397-01>}

{<AI05-0042-1AI05-0042-1>} For a task declaration with an
interface_list, the task type inherits user-defined primitive
subprograms from each progenitor type (see *note 3.9.4::), in the same
way that a derived type inherits user-defined primitive subprograms from
its progenitor types (see *note 3.4::).  If the first parameter of a
primitive inherited subprogram is of the task type or an access
parameter designating the task type, and there is an entry_declaration
for a single entry with the same identifier within the task declaration,
whose profile is type conformant with the prefixed view profile of the
inherited subprogram, the inherited subprogram is said to be
<implemented> by the conforming task entry using an implicitly declared
nonabstract subprogram which has the same profile as the inherited
subprogram and which overrides it.

9.b/2
          Ramification: The inherited subprograms can only come from an
          interface given as part of the task declaration.

9.b.1/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0042-1AI05-0042-1>} The part about the
          implicitly declared subprogram is needed so that a subprogram
          implemented by an entry is considered to be overridden for the
          purpose of the other rules of the language.  Without it, it
          would for instance be illegal for an abstract subprogram to be
          implemented by an entry, because the abstract subprogram would
          not be overridden.  The Legality Rules below ensure that there
          is no conflict between the implicit overriding subprogram and
          a user-defined overriding subprogram.

                           _Legality Rules_

9.3/2
{<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} A task declaration requires a
completion[, which shall be a task_body,] and every task_body shall be
the completion of some task declaration.

9.c/3
          To be honest: {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} If the implementation
          supports it, the task body can be imported (using aspect
          Import, see *note B.1::), in which case no explicit task_body
          is allowed.

9.4/2
{<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} {<AI95-00399-01AI95-00399-01>} [Each
<interface_>subtype_mark of an interface_list appearing within a task
declaration shall denote a limited interface type that is not a
protected interface.]

9.d/2
          Proof: *note 3.9.4:: requires that an interface_list only name
          interface types, and limits the descendants of the various
          kinds of interface types.  Only a limited, task, or
          synchronized interface can have a task type descendant.
          Nonlimited or protected interfaces are not allowed, as they
          offer operations that a task does not have.

9.5/3
{<AI95-00397-01AI95-00397-01>} {<AI05-0090-1AI05-0090-1>} The prefixed
view profile of an explicitly declared primitive subprogram of a tagged
task type shall not be type conformant with any entry of the task type,
if the subprogram has the same defining name as the entry and the first
parameter of the subprogram is of the task type or is an access
parameter designating the task type.

9.e/2
          Reason: This prevents the existence of two operations with the
          same name and profile which could be called with a prefixed
          view.  If the operation was inherited, this would be illegal
          by the following rules; this rule puts inherited and
          noninherited routines on the same footing.  Note that this
          only applies to tagged task types (that is, those with an
          interface in their declaration); we do that as there is no
          problem with prefixed view calls of primitive operations for
          "normal" task types, and having this rule apply to all tasks
          would be incompatible with Ada 95.

9.6/2
{<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} {<AI95-00399-01AI95-00399-01>} For each
primitive subprogram inherited by the type declared by a task
declaration, at most one of the following shall apply:

9.7/2
   * {<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} the inherited subprogram is
     overridden with a primitive subprogram of the task type, in which
     case the overriding subprogram shall be subtype conformant with the
     inherited subprogram and not abstract; or

9.8/2
   * {<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} {<AI95-00397-01AI95-00397-01>} the
     inherited subprogram is implemented by a single entry of the task
     type; in which case its prefixed view profile shall be subtype
     conformant with that of the task entry.  

9.f/2
          Ramification: An entry may implement two subprograms from the
          ancestors, one whose first parameter is of type <T> and one
          whose first parameter is of type access <T>.  That doesn't
          cause implementation problems because "implemented by" (unlike
          "overridden') probably entails the creation of wrappers.

9.9/2
If neither applies, the inherited subprogram shall be a null procedure.In addition to the places where Legality Rules normally apply (see *note
12.3::), these rules also apply in the private part of an instance of a
generic unit.

9.g/2
          Reason: Each inherited subprogram can only have a single
          implementation (either from overriding a subprogram or
          implementing an entry), and must have an implementation unless
          the subprogram is a null procedure.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

10
[ The elaboration of a task declaration elaborates the task_definition.The elaboration of a single_task_declaration (*note 9.1: S0206.) also
creates an object of an (anonymous) task type.]

10.a
          Proof: This is redundant with the general rules for the
          elaboration of a full_type_declaration and an
          object_declaration.

11
[The elaboration of a task_definition creates the task type and its
first subtype;] it also includes the elaboration of the
entry_declarations in the given order.

initialization of a task object, any aspect_clauses and any per-object
constraints associated with entry_declaration (*note 9.5.2: S0218.)s of
the corresponding task_definition (*note 9.1: S0207.) are elaborated in
the given order.

12.a/1
          Reason: The only aspect_clauses defined for task entries are
          ones that specify the Address of an entry, as part of defining
          an interrupt entry.  These clearly need to be elaborated
          per-object, not per-type.  Normally the address will be a
          function of a discriminant, if such an Address clause is in a
          task type rather than a single task declaration, though it
          could rely on a parameterless function that allocates
          sequential interrupt vectors.

12.b
          We do not mention representation pragmas, since each pragma
          may have its own elaboration rules.

13
The elaboration of a task_body has no effect other than to establish
that tasks of the type can from then on be activated without failing the
Elaboration_Check.

14
[The execution of a task_body is invoked by the activation of a task of
the corresponding type (see *note 9.2::).]

15
The content of a task object of a given task type includes:

16
   * The values of the discriminants of the task object, if any;

17
   * An entry queue for each entry of the task object;

17.a
          Ramification: "For each entry" implies one queue for each
          single entry, plus one for each entry of each entry family.

18
   * A representation of the state of the associated task.

     NOTES

19/2
     2  {<AI95-00382-01AI95-00382-01>} Other than in an
     access_definition, the name of a task unit within the declaration
     or body of the task unit denotes the current instance of the unit
     (see *note 8.6::), rather than the first subtype of the
     corresponding task type (and thus the name cannot be used as a
     subtype_mark).

19.a/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00382-01AI95-00382-01>} It can be used as a
          subtype_mark in an anonymous access type.  In addition, it is
          possible to refer to some other subtype of the task type
          within its body, presuming such a subtype has been declared
          between the task_type_declaration and the task_body.

20
     3  The notation of a selected_component can be used to denote a
     discriminant of a task (see *note 4.1.3::).  Within a task unit,
     the name of a discriminant of the task type denotes the
     corresponding discriminant of the current instance of the unit.

21/2
     4  {<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>} A task type is a limited type
     (see *note 7.5::), and hence precludes use of assignment_statements
     and predefined equality operators.  If an application needs to
     store and exchange task identities, it can do so by defining an
     access type designating the corresponding task objects and by using
     access values for identification purposes.  Assignment is available
     for such an access type as for any access type.  Alternatively, if
     the implementation supports the Systems Programming Annex, the
     Identity attribute can be used for task identification (see *note
     C.7.1::).

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

32.a/1
          The syntax rules for task declarations are modified to allow a
          known_discriminant_part, and to allow a private part.  They
          are also modified to allow entry_declarations and
          aspect_clauses to be mixed.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

32.b
          The syntax rules for tasks have been split up according to
          task types and single tasks.  In particular: The syntax rules
          for task_declaration and task_specification are removed.  The
          syntax rules for task_type_declaration,
          single_task_declaration, task_definition and task_item are
          new.

32.c
          The syntax rule for task_body now uses the nonterminal
          handled_sequence_of_statements.

32.d
          The declarative_part of a task_body is now required; that
          doesn't make any real difference, because a declarative_part
          can be empty.

          {<AI95-00399-01AI95-00399-01>} {<AI95-00419-01AI95-00419-01>}
          Task types and single tasks can be derived from one or more
          interfaces.  Entries of the task type can implement the
          primitive operations of an interface.  Overriding_indicators
          can be used to specify whether or not an entry implements a
          primitive operation.

9.2 Task Execution - Task Activation
====================================

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

1
The execution of a task of a given task type consists of the execution
of the corresponding task_body.  The initial part of this execution is
called the <activation> of the task; it consists of the elaboration of
the declarative_part of the task_body.  Should an exception be
propagated by the elaboration of its declarative_part, the activation of
the task is defined to have <failed>, and it becomes a completed task.

2/2
{<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>} A task object (which represents one task)
can be a part of a stand-alone object, of an object created by an
allocator, or of an anonymous object of a limited type, or a coextension
of one of these.  All tasks that are part or coextensions of any of the
stand-alone objects created by the elaboration of object_declaration
(*note 3.3.1: S0032.)s (or generic_associations of formal objects of
mode in) of a single declarative region are activated together.  All
tasks that are part or coextensions of a single object that is not a
stand-alone object are activated together.

2.a
          Discussion: The initialization of an object_declaration or
          allocator can indirectly include the creation of other objects
          that contain tasks.  For example, the default expression for a
          subcomponent of an object created by an allocator might call a
          function that evaluates a completely different allocator.
          Tasks created by the two allocators are <not> activated
          together.

3/2
{<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>} For the tasks of a given declarative
region, the activations are initiated within the context of the
handled_sequence_of_statements (*note 11.2: S0265.) (and its associated
exception_handler (*note 11.2: S0266.)s if any -- see *note 11.2::),
just prior to executing the statements of the
handled_sequence_of_statements.  [For a package without an explicit body
or an explicit handled_sequence_of_statements (*note 11.2: S0265.), an
implicit body or an implicit null_statement (*note 5.1: S0149.) is
assumed, as defined in *note 7.2::.]

3.a
          Ramification: If Tasking_Error is raised, it can be handled by
          handlers of the handled_sequence_of_statements (*note 11.2:
          S0265.).

4/2
{<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>} For tasks that are part or coextensions
of a single object that is not a stand-alone object, activations are
initiated after completing any initialization of the outermost object
enclosing these tasks, prior to performing any other operation on the
outermost object.  In particular, for tasks that are part or
coextensions of the object created by the evaluation of an allocator,
the activations are initiated as the last step of evaluating the
allocator, prior to returning the new access value.  For tasks that are
part or coextensions of an object that is the result of a function call,
the activations are not initiated until after the function returns.

4.a/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>} The intent is that
          "temporary" objects with task parts (or coextensions) are
          treated similarly to an object created by an allocator.  The
          "whole" object is initialized, and then all of the task parts
          (including the coextensions) are activated together.  Each
          such "whole" object has its own task activation sequence,
          involving the activating task being suspended until all the
          new tasks complete their activation.

5
The task that created the new tasks and initiated their activations (the
<activator>) is blocked until all of these activations complete
(successfully or not).  Once all of these activations are complete, if
the activation of any of the tasks has failed [(due to the propagation
of an exception)], Tasking_Error is raised in the activator, at the
place at which it initiated the activations.  Otherwise, the activator
proceeds with its execution normally.  Any tasks that are aborted prior
to completing their activation are ignored when determining whether to
raise Tasking_Error.

5.a
          Ramification: Note that a task created by an allocator does
          not necessarily depend on its activator; in such a case the
          activator's termination can precede the termination of the
          newly created task.

5.b
          Discussion: Tasking_Error is raised only once, even if two or
          more of the tasks being activated fail their activation.

5.c/2
          To be honest: {<AI95-00265-01AI95-00265-01>} The pragma
          Partition_Elaboration_Policy (see *note H.6::) can be used to
          defer task activation to a later point, thus changing many of
          these rules.

6/3
{<AI05-0045-1AI05-0045-1>} If the master that directly encloses the
point where the activation of a task <T> would be initiated, completes
before the activation of <T> is initiated, <T> becomes terminated and is
never activated.  Furthermore, if a return statement is left such that
the return object is not returned to the caller, any task that was
created as a part of the return object or one of its coextensions
immediately becomes terminated and is never activated.

6.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0045-1AI05-0045-1>} The first case can
          only happen if the activation point of T is not reached due to
          an exception being raised or a task or statement being
          aborted.  Note that this is exclusive; if the master completes
          normally and starts finalization, we're already past the
          activation point.

6.b/3
          {<AI05-0045-1AI05-0045-1>} The second case can happen with an
          exception being raised in a return statement, by an exit or
          goto from an extended_return_statement, or by a return
          statement being aborted.  Any tasks created for the return
          object of such a return statement are never activated.

     NOTES

7
     5  An entry of a task can be called before the task has been
     activated.

8
     6  If several tasks are activated together, the execution of any of
     these tasks need not await the end of the activation of the other
     tasks.

9
     7  A task can become completed during its activation either because
     of an exception or because it is aborted (see *note 9.8::).

                              _Examples_

10
<Example of task activation:>

11
     procedure P is
        A, B : Server;    --<  elaborate the task objects A, B>
        C    : Server;    --<  elaborate the task object C>
     begin
        --<  the tasks A, B, C are activated together before the first statement>
        ...
     end;

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

11.a
          We have replaced the term <suspended> with <blocked>, since we
          didn't want to consider a task blocked when it was simply
          competing for execution resources.  "Suspended" is sometimes
          used more generally to refer to tasks that are not actually
          running on some processor, due to the lack of resources.

11.b/3
          {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} This subclause has been rewritten
          in an attempt to improve presentation.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

11.c/2
          {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>} Adjusted the wording for
          activating tasks to handle the case of anonymous function
          return objects.  This is critical; we don't want to be waiting
          for the tasks in a return object when we exit the function
          normally.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

11.d/3
          {<AI05-0045-1AI05-0045-1>} Correction: Corrected the wording
          that handles tasks that are never activated to ensure that no
          lookahead is implied and to make it clear that tasks created
          by return statements that never return are never activated.

9.3 Task Dependence - Termination of Tasks
==========================================

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

1
Each task (other than an environment task -- see *note 10.2::) <depends>
on one or more masters (see *note 7.6.1::), as follows:

2/4
   * {<AI12-0070-1AI12-0070-1>} If the task is created by the evaluation
     of an allocator for a given named access type, it depends on each
     master that includes the elaboration of the declaration of the
     ultimate ancestor of the given access type.

3
   * If the task is created by the elaboration of an object_declaration,
     it depends on each master that includes this elaboration.

3.1/2
   * {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>} Otherwise, the task depends on the
     master of the outermost object of which it is a part (as determined
     by the accessibility level of that object -- see *note 3.10.2:: and
     *note 7.6.1::), as well as on any master whose execution includes
     that of the master of the outermost object.

3.a/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>} The master of a
          task created by a return statement changes when the
          accessibility of the return object changes.  Note that its
          activation happens, if at all, only after the function returns
          and all accessibility level changes have occurred.

4
Furthermore, if a task depends on a given master, it is defined to
depend on the task that executes the master, and (recursively) on any
master of that task.

4.a
          Discussion: Don't confuse these kinds of dependences with the
          dependences among compilation units defined in *note 10.1.1::,
          "*note 10.1.1:: Compilation Units - Library Units".

5
A task is said to be <completed> when the execution of its corresponding
task_body is completed.  A task is said to be <terminated> when any
finalization of the task_body has been performed (see *note 7.6.1::).
[The first step of finalizing a master (including a task_body) is to
wait for the termination of any tasks dependent on the master.]  The
task executing the master is blocked until all the dependents have
terminated.  [Any remaining finalization is then performed and the
master is left.]

6/1
Completion of a task (and the corresponding task_body) can occur when
the task is blocked at a select_statement (*note 9.7: S0230.) with an
open terminate_alternative (see *note 9.7.1::); the open
terminate_alternative is selected if and only if the following
conditions are satisfied:

7/2
   * {<AI95-00415-01AI95-00415-01>} The task depends on some completed
     master; and

8
   * Each task that depends on the master considered is either already
     terminated or similarly blocked at a select_statement with an open
     terminate_alternative.

9
When both conditions are satisfied, the task considered becomes
completed, together with all tasks that depend on the master considered
that are not yet completed.

9.a
          Ramification: Any required finalization is performed after the
          selection of terminate_alternatives.  The tasks are not
          callable during the finalization.  In some ways it is as
          though they were aborted.

     NOTES

10
     8  The full view of a limited private type can be a task type, or
     can have subcomponents of a task type.  Creation of an object of
     such a type creates dependences according to the full type.

11
     9  An object_renaming_declaration defines a new view of an existing
     entity and hence creates no further dependence.

12
     10  The rules given for the collective completion of a group of
     tasks all blocked on select_statements with open
     terminate_alternatives ensure that the collective completion can
     occur only when there are no remaining active tasks that could call
     one of the tasks being collectively completed.

13
     11  If two or more tasks are blocked on select_statements with open
     terminate_alternatives, and become completed collectively, their
     finalization actions proceed concurrently.

14
     12  The completion of a task can occur due to any of the following:

15
        * the raising of an exception during the elaboration of the
          declarative_part of the corresponding task_body;

16
        * the completion of the handled_sequence_of_statements of the
          corresponding task_body;

17
        * the selection of an open terminate_alternative of a
          select_statement in the corresponding task_body;

18
        * the abort of the task.

                              _Examples_

        end;  --<  await termination of C and L.all (but not X.all)>
        ...
     end;  --<  await termination of A, B, and G.all>

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

20.a
          We have revised the wording to be consistent with the
          definition of master now given in *note 7.6.1::, "*note
          7.6.1:: Completion and Finalization".

20.b
          Tasks that used to depend on library packages in Ada 83, now
          depend on the (implicit) task_body of the environment task
          (see *note 10.2::).  Therefore, the environment task has to
          wait for them before performing library level finalization and
          terminating the partition.  In Ada 83 the requirement to wait
          for tasks that depended on library packages was not as clear.

20.c
          What was "collective termination" is now "collective
          completion" resulting from selecting terminate_alternatives.
          This is because finalization still occurs for such tasks, and
          this happens after selecting the terminate_alternative, but
          before termination.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

20.d/2
          {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>} Added missing wording that
          explained the master of tasks that are neither
          object_declarations nor allocators, such as function returns.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2012_

20.e/4
          {<AI12-0070-1AI12-0070-1>} Corrigendum: Ensured that the
          master of tasks that are not allocators of named access types
          is correctly determined.  (Ignoring the accessibility rules of
          *note 3.10.2:: could not be intended.)

9.4 Protected Units and Protected Objects
=========================================

1
A <protected object> provides coordinated access to shared data, through
calls on its visible <protected operations>, which can be <protected
subprograms> or <protected entries>.  A <protected unit> is declared by
a <protected declaration>, which has a corresponding protected_body.  A
protected declaration may be a protected_type_declaration, in which case
it declares a named protected type; alternatively, it may be a
single_protected_declaration, in which case it defines an anonymous
protected type, as well as declaring a named protected object of that
type.

     protected_element_declaration ::= protected_operation_declaration
          | component_declaration

6.a
          Reason: We allow the operations and components to be mixed
          because that's how other things work (for example, package
          declarations).  We have relaxed the ordering rules for the
          items inside declarative_parts and task_definitions as well.

11/2
{<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} {<AI95-00401-01AI95-00401-01>} A
protected_definition defines a protected type and its first subtype.
The list of protected_operation_declaration (*note 9.4: S0213.)s of a
protected_definition (*note 9.4: S0212.), together with the
known_discriminant_part (*note 3.7: S0061.), if any, is called the
visible part of the protected unit.  [ The optional list of
protected_element_declaration (*note 9.4: S0214.)s after the reserved
word private is called the private part of the protected unit.]

11.a/3
          Proof: {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} Private part is defined in
          Clause *note 8::.

11.1/3
{<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} {<AI95-00397-01AI95-00397-01>}
{<AI95-00399-01AI95-00399-01>} {<AI95-00419-01AI95-00419-01>}
{<AI05-0042-1AI05-0042-1>} For a protected declaration with an
interface_list, the protected type inherits user-defined primitive
subprograms from each progenitor type (see *note 3.9.4::), in the same
way that a derived type inherits user-defined primitive subprograms from
its progenitor types (see *note 3.4::).  If the first parameter of a
primitive inherited subprogram is of the protected type or an access
parameter designating the protected type, and there is a
protected_operation_declaration for a protected subprogram or single
entry with the same identifier within the protected declaration, whose
profile is type conformant with the prefixed view profile of the
inherited subprogram, the inherited subprogram is said to be
<implemented> by the conforming protected subprogram or entry using an
implicitly declared nonabstract subprogram which has the same profile as
the inherited subprogram and which overrides it.  

11.b/2
          Ramification: The inherited subprograms can only come from an
          interface given as part of the protected declaration.

11.b.1/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0042-1AI05-0042-1>} The part about the
          implicitly declared subprogram is needed so that a subprogram
          implemented by an entry or subprogram is considered to be
          overridden for the purpose of the other rules of the language.
          Without it, it would for instance be illegal for an abstract
          subprogram to be implemented by an entry, because the abstract
          subprogram would not be overridden.  The Legality Rules below
          ensure that there is no conflict between the implicit
          overriding subprogram and a user-defined overriding
          subprogram.

                           _Legality Rules_

11.2/2
{<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} A protected declaration requires a
completion[, which shall be a protected_body (*note 9.4: S0215.),] and
every protected_body (*note 9.4: S0215.) shall be the completion of some
protected declaration.

11.c/3
          To be honest: {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} If the implementation
          supports it, the protected body can be imported (using aspect
          Import, see *note B.1::), in which case no explicit
          protected_body is allowed.

11.3/2
{<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} {<AI95-00399-01AI95-00399-01>} [Each
<interface_>subtype_mark of an interface_list appearing within a
protected declaration shall denote a limited interface type that is not
a task interface.]

11.d/2
          Proof: *note 3.9.4:: requires that an interface_list only name
          interface types, and limits the descendants of the various
          kinds of interface types.  Only a limited, protected, or
          synchronized interface can have a protected type descendant.
          Nonlimited or task interfaces are not allowed, as they offer
          operations that a protected type does not have.

11.4/3
{<AI95-00397-01AI95-00397-01>} {<AI05-0042-1AI05-0042-1>} The prefixed
view profile of an explicitly declared primitive subprogram of a tagged
protected type shall not be type conformant with any protected operation
of the protected type, if the subprogram has the same defining name as
the protected operation and the first parameter of the subprogram is of
the protected type or is an access parameter designating the protected
type.

11.e/2
          Reason: This prevents the existence of two operations with the
          same name and profile which could be called with a prefixed
          view.  If the operation was inherited, this would be illegal
          by the following rules; this rule puts inherited and
          noninherited routines on the same footing.  Note that this
          only applies to tagged protected types (that is, those with an
          interface in their declaration); we do that as there is no
          problem with prefixed view calls of primitive operations for
          "normal" protected types, and having this rule apply to all
          protected types would be incompatible with Ada 95.

11.5/2
{<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} {<AI95-00399-01AI95-00399-01>} For each
primitive subprogram inherited by the type declared by a protected
declaration, at most one of the following shall apply:

11.6/2
   * {<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} the inherited subprogram is
     overridden with a primitive subprogram of the protected type, in
     which case the overriding subprogram shall be subtype conformant
     with the inherited subprogram and not abstract; or

11.7/2
   * {<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} {<AI95-00397-01AI95-00397-01>} the
     inherited subprogram is implemented by a protected subprogram or
     single entry of the protected type, in which case its prefixed view
     profile shall be subtype conformant with that of the protected
     subprogram or entry.  

11.8/2
If neither applies, the inherited subprogram shall be a null procedure.In addition to the places where Legality Rules normally apply (see *note
12.3::), these rules also apply in the private part of an instance of a
generic unit.

11.f/2
          Reason: Each inherited subprogram can only have a single
          implementation (either from overriding a subprogram,
          implementing a subprogram, or implementing an entry), and must
          have an implementation unless the subprogram is a null
          procedure.

11.9/3
{<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} {<AI05-0291-1AI05-0291-1>} If an
inherited subprogram is implemented by a protected procedure or an
entry, then the first parameter of the inherited subprogram shall be of
mode out or in out, or an access-to-variable parameter.  If an inherited
subprogram is implemented by a protected function, then the first
parameter of the inherited subprogram shall be of mode in, but not an
access-to-variable parameter.

11.g/3
          Reason: For a protected procedure or entry, the protected
          object can be read or written (see *note 9.5.1::).  A
          subprogram that is implemented by a protected procedure or
          entry must have a profile which reflects that in order to
          avoid confusion.  Similarly, a protected function has a
          parameter that is a constant, and the inherited routine should
          reflect that.

11.10/2
{<AI95-00397-01AI95-00397-01>} If a protected subprogram declaration has
an overriding_indicator, then at the point of the declaration:

11.11/2
   * if the overriding_indicator is overriding, then the subprogram
     shall implement an inherited subprogram;

11.12/2
   * if the overriding_indicator is not overriding, then the subprogram
     shall not implement any inherited subprogram.

11.13/2
In addition to the places where Legality Rules normally apply (see *note
12.3::), these rules also apply in the private part of an instance of a
generic unit.

11.h/2
          Discussion: These rules are subtly different than those for
          subprograms (see *note 8.3.1::) because there cannot be "late"
          inheritance of primitives from interfaces.  Hidden (that is,
          private) interfaces are prohibited explicitly (see *note
          7.3::), as are hidden primitive operations (as private
          operations of public abstract types are prohibited -- see
          *note 3.9.3::).

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

12
[The elaboration of a protected declaration elaborates the
protected_definition.  The elaboration of a single_protected_declaration
(*note 9.4: S0211.) also creates an object of an (anonymous) protected
type.]

12.a
          Proof: This is redundant with the general rules for the
          elaboration of a full_type_declaration and an
          object_declaration.

13
[The elaboration of a protected_definition creates the protected type
and its first subtype;] it also includes the elaboration of the
component_declarations and protected_operation_declarations in the given
order.

14
[As part of the initialization of a protected object, any per-object
constraints (see *note 3.8::) are elaborated.]

14.a
          Discussion: We do not mention pragmas since each pragma has
          its own elaboration rules.

15
The elaboration of a protected_body has no other effect than to
establish that protected operations of the type can from then on be
called without failing the Elaboration_Check.

16
The content of an object of a given protected type includes:

17
   * The values of the components of the protected object, including
     (implicitly) an entry queue for each entry declared for the
     protected object;

17.a
          Ramification: "For each entry" implies one queue for each
          single entry, plus one for each entry of each entry family.

18
   * A representation of the state of the execution resource
     <associated> with the protected object (one such resource is
     associated with each protected object).

19
[The execution resource associated with a protected object has to be
acquired to read or update any components of the protected object; it
can be acquired (as part of a protected action -- see *note 9.5.1::)
either for concurrent read-only access, or for exclusive read-write
access.]

20
As the first step of the <finalization> of a protected object, each call
remaining on any entry queue of the object is removed from its queue and
Program_Error is raised at the place of the corresponding
entry_call_statement (*note 9.5.3: S0225.).

20.a
          Reason: This is analogous to the raising of Tasking_Error in
          callers of a task that completes before accepting the calls.
          This situation can only occur due to a requeue (ignoring
          premature unchecked_deallocation), since any task that has
          accessibility to a protected object is awaited before
          finalizing the protected object.  For example:

20.b
               procedure Main is
                   task T is
                       entry E;
                   end T;

20.c
                   task body T is
                       protected PO is
                           entry Ee;
                       end PO;

20.d
                       protected body PO is
                           entry Ee when False is
                           begin
                               null;
                           end Ee;
                       end PO;
                   begin
                       accept E do
                           requeue PO.Ee;
                       end E;
                   end T;
               begin
                   T.E;
               end Main;

20.e/3
          {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} The environment task is queued on
          PO.Ee when PO is finalized.

20.f
          In a real example, a server task might park callers on a local
          protected object for some useful purpose, so we didn't want to
          disallow this case.

                      _Bounded (Run-Time) Errors_

20.1/2
{<AI95-00280-01AI95-00280-01>} It is a bounded error to call an entry or
subprogram of a protected object after that object is finalized.  If the
error is detected, Program_Error is raised.  Otherwise, the call
proceeds normally, which may leave a task queued forever.

20.g/2
          Reason: This is very similar to the finalization rule.  It is
          a bounded error so that an implementation can avoid the
          overhead of the check if it can ensure that the call still
          will operate properly.  Such an implementation cannot need to
          return resources (such as locks) to an executive that it needs
          to execute calls.

20.h/2
          This case can happen (and has happened in production code)
          when a protected object is accessed from the Finalize routine
          of a type.  For example:

20.i/2
               with Ada.Finalization.Controlled;
               package Window_Manager is
                   ...
                   type Root_Window is new Ada.Finalization.Controlled with private;
                   type Any_Window is access all Root_Window;
                   ...
               private
                   ...
                   procedure Finalize (Object : in out Root_Window);
                   ...
               end Window_Manager;

20.j/2
               package body Window_Manager is
                  protected type Lock is
                      entry Get_Lock;
                      procedure Free_Lock;
                  ...
                  end Lock;

20.k/2
                  Window_Lock : Lock;

20.l/2
                  procedure Finalize (Object : in out Root_Window) is
                  begin
                      Window_Lock.Get_Lock;
                      ...
                      Window_Lock.Free_Lock;
                  end Finalize;
                  ...
                  A_Window : Any_Window := new Root_Window;
               end Window_Manager;

20.m/2
          The environment task will call Window_Lock for the object
          allocated for A_Window when the collection for Any_Window is
          finalized, which will happen after the finalization of
          Window_Lock (because finalization of the package body will
          occur before that of the package specification).

     NOTES

21/2
     13  {<AI95-00382-01AI95-00382-01>} Within the declaration or body
     of a protected unit other than in an access_definition, the name of
     the protected unit denotes the current instance of the unit (see
     *note 8.6::), rather than the first subtype of the corresponding
     protected type (and thus the name cannot be used as a
     subtype_mark).

21.a/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00382-01AI95-00382-01>} It can be used as a
          subtype_mark in an anonymous access type.  In addition, it is
          possible to refer to some other subtype of the protected type
          within its body, presuming such a subtype has been declared
          between the protected_type_declaration and the protected_body.

22
     14  A selected_component can be used to denote a discriminant of a
     protected object (see *note 4.1.3::).  Within a protected unit, the
     name of a discriminant of the protected type denotes the
     corresponding discriminant of the current instance of the unit.

23/2
     15  {<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>} A protected type is a limited
     type (see *note 7.5::), and hence precludes use of
     assignment_statements and predefined equality operators.

24
     16  The bodies of the protected operations given in the
     protected_body define the actions that take place upon calls to the
     protected operations.

25
     17  The declarations in the private part are only visible within
     the private part and the body of the protected unit.

25.a
          Reason: Component_declarations are disallowed in a
          protected_body because, for efficiency, we wish to allow the
          compiler to determine the size of protected objects (when not
          dynamic); the compiler cannot necessarily see the body.
          Furthermore, the semantics of initialization of such objects
          would be problematic -- we do not wish to give protected
          objects complex initialization semantics similar to task
          activation.

25.b
          The same applies to entry_declarations, since an entry
          involves an implicit component -- the entry queue.

<Example of declaration of protected type and corresponding body:>

30
<Example of a single protected declaration and corresponding body:>

31
     protected Shared_Array is

9.5 Intertask Communication
===========================

1
The primary means for intertask communication is provided by calls on
entries and protected subprograms.  Calls on protected subprograms allow
coordinated access to shared data objects.  Entry calls allow for
blocking the caller until a given condition is satisfied (namely, that
the corresponding entry is open -- see *note 9.5.3::), and then
communicating data or control information directly with another task or
indirectly via a shared protected object.

                          _Static Semantics_

2/3
{<AI05-0225-1AI05-0225-1>} {<AI05-0291-1AI05-0291-1>} When a name or
prefix denotes an entry, protected subprogram, or a prefixed view of a
primitive subprogram of a limited interface whose first parameter is a
controlling parameter, the name or prefix determines a <target object>,
as follows:

2.a/3
          To be honest: {<AI05-0291-1AI05-0291-1>} This wording uses
          "denotes" to mean "denotes a view of an entity" (when the term
          is used in Legality Rules), and "denotes an entity" (when the
          term is used in Dynamic Semantics rules).  It does not mean
          "view of a declaration", as that would not include renames (a
          renames is not an entry or protected subprogram).

3/3
   * {<AI05-0291-1AI05-0291-1>} If it is a direct_name or expanded name
     that denotes the declaration (or body) of the operation, then the
     target object is implicitly specified to be the current instance of
     the task or protected unit immediately enclosing the operation; a
     call using such a name is defined to be an <internal call>;

4/3
   * {<AI05-0291-1AI05-0291-1>} If it is a selected_component that is
     not an expanded name, then the target object is explicitly
     specified to be the object denoted by the prefix of the name; a
     call using such a name is defined to be an <external call>;

4.a
          Discussion: For example:

4.b
               protected type Pt is
                 procedure Op1;
                 procedure Op2;
               end Pt;

4.c
               PO : Pt;
               Other_Object : Some_Other_Protected_Type;

4.d
               protected body Pt is
                 procedure Op1 is begin ... end Op1;

4.e
                 procedure Op2 is
                 begin
                   Op1; --< An internal call.>
                   Pt.Op1; --< Another internal call.>
                   PO.Op1; --< An external call. It the current instance is PO, then>
                           --< this is a bounded error (see *note 9.5.1::).>
                   Other_Object.Some_Op; --< An external call.>
                 end Op2;
               end Pt;

5/3
   * {<AI05-0291-1AI05-0291-1>} If the name or prefix is a dereference
     (implicit or explicit) of an access-to-protected-subprogram value,
     then the target object is determined by the prefix of the Access
     attribute_reference that produced the access value originally; a
     call using such a name is defined to be an <external call>;

6
   * If the name or prefix denotes a subprogram_renaming_declaration,
     then the target object is as determined by the name of the renamed
     entity.

6.1/3
{<AI05-0291-1AI05-0291-1>} A call on an entry or a protected subprogram
either uses a name or prefix that determines a target object implicitly,
as above, or is a call on (a non-prefixed view of) a primitive
subprogram of a limited interface whose first parameter is a controlling
parameter, in which case the target object is identified explicitly by
the first parameter.  This latter case is an <external call>.

7
A corresponding definition of target object applies to a
requeue_statement (see *note 9.5.4::), with a corresponding distinction
between an <internal requeue> and an <external requeue>.

                           _Legality Rules_

7.1/3
{<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} {<AI05-0225-1AI05-0225-1>}
{<AI05-0291-1AI05-0291-1>} If a name or prefix determines a target
object, and the name denotes a protected entry or procedure, then the
target object shall be a variable, unless the prefix is for an
attribute_reference to the Count attribute (see *note 9.9::).

7.a/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0225-1AI05-0225-1>} The point is to prevent any
          calls to such a name whose target object is a constant view of
          a protected object, directly, or via an access value, renames,
          or generic formal subprogram.  It is, however, legal to say
          P'Count in a protected function body, even though the
          protected object is a constant view there.

7.b/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0291-1AI05-0291-1>} This rule does not
          apply to calls that are not to a prefixed view.  Specifically
          a "normal" call to a primitive operation of a limited
          interface is not covered by this rule.  In that case, the
          normal parameter passing mode checks will prevent passing a
          constant protected object to an operation implemented by a
          protected entry or procedure as the mode is required to be in
          out or out.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

8
Within the body of a protected operation, the current instance (see
*note 8.6::) of the immediately enclosing protected unit is determined
by the target object specified (implicitly or explicitly) in the call
(or requeue) on the protected operation.

8.a
          To be honest: The current instance is defined in the same way
          within the body of a subprogram declared immediately within a
          protected_body.

9
Any call on a protected procedure or entry of a target protected object
is defined to be an update to the object, as is a requeue on such an
entry.

9.a
          Reason: Read/write access to the components of a protected
          object is granted while inside the body of a protected
          procedure or entry.  Also, any protected entry call can change
          the value of the Count attribute, which represents an update.
          Any protected procedure call can result in servicing the
          entries, which again might change the value of a Count
          attribute.

          While many implementations have gotten this wrong, this is not

9.5.1 Protected Subprograms and Protected Actions
-------------------------------------------------

1
A <protected subprogram> is a subprogram declared immediately within a
protected_definition.  Protected procedures provide exclusive read-write
access to the data of a protected object; protected functions provide
concurrent read-only access to the data.

1.a
          Ramification: A subprogram declared immediately within a
          protected_body is not a protected subprogram; it is an
          intrinsic subprogram.  See *note 6.3.1::, "*note 6.3.1::
          Conformance Rules".

                          _Static Semantics_

2
[Within the body of a protected function (or a function declared
immediately within a protected_body), the current instance of the
enclosing protected unit is defined to be a constant (that is, its
subcomponents may be read but not updated).  Within the body of a
protected procedure (or a procedure declared immediately within a
protected_body), and within an entry_body, the current instance is
defined to be a variable (updating is permitted).]

2.a.1/3
          Proof: {<AI05-0120-1AI05-0120-1>} All constant views are
          defined in *note 3.3::, "*note 3.3:: Objects and Named
          Numbers", anything not named there is a variable view.

2.a
          Ramification: The current instance is like an implicit
          parameter, of mode in for a protected function, and of mode in
          out for a protected procedure (or protected entry).

2.1/4
{<AI12-0129-1AI12-0129-1>} For a type declared by a
protected_type_declaration or for the anonymous type of an object
declared by a single_protected_declaration, the following
language-defined type-related representation aspect may be specified:

2.2/4
Exclusive_Functions
               The type of aspect Exclusive_Functions is Boolean.  If
               not specified (including by inheritance), the aspect is
               False.

2.3/4

               A value of True for this aspect indicates that protected
               functions behave in the same way as protected procedures
               with respect to mutual exclusion and queue servicing (see
               below).

2.a.1/4
          Aspect Description for Exclusive_Functions: Specifies mutual
          exclusion behavior of protected functions in a protected type.

2.4/4
{<AI12-0129-1AI12-0129-1>} A protected procedure or entry is an
<exclusive> protected operation.  A protected function of a protected
type <P> is an exclusive protected operation if the Exclusive_Functions
aspect of <P> is True.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

3
For the execution of a call on a protected subprogram, the evaluation of
the name or prefix and of the parameter associations, and any assigning
back of in out or out parameters, proceeds as for a normal subprogram
call (see *note 6.4::).  If the call is an internal call (see *note
9.5::), the body of the subprogram is executed as for a normal
subprogram call.  If the call is an external call, then the body of the
subprogram is executed as part of a new <protected action> on the target
protected object; the protected action completes after the body of the
subprogram is executed.  [A protected action can also be started by an
entry call (see *note 9.5.3::).]

4/4
{<AI12-0129-1AI12-0129-1>} A new protected action is not started on a
protected object while another protected action on the same protected
object is underway, unless both actions are the result of a call on a
nonexclusive protected function.  This rule is expressible in terms of
the execution resource associated with the protected object:

5/4
   * {<AI12-0129-1AI12-0129-1>} <Starting> a protected action on a
     protected object corresponds to <acquiring> the execution resource
     associated with the protected object, either for exclusive
     read-write access if the protected action is for a call on an
     exclusive protected operation, or for concurrent read-only access
     otherwise;

6
   * <Completing> the protected action corresponds to <releasing> the
     associated execution resource.

7/4
{<AI12-0129-1AI12-0129-1>} [After performing an exclusive protected
operation on a protected object, but prior to completing the associated
protected action, the entry queues (if any) of the protected object are
serviced (see *note 9.5.3::).]

                      _Bounded (Run-Time) Errors_

8
During a protected action, it is a bounded error to invoke an operation
that is <potentially blocking>.  The following are defined to be
potentially blocking operations:

8.a
          Reason: Some of these operations are not directly blocking.
          However, they are still treated as bounded errors during a
          protected action, because allowing them might impose an
          undesirable implementation burden.

          Reason: This is really a deadlocking call, rather than a
          blocking call, but we include it in this list for simplicity.

16
   * a call on a subprogram whose body contains a potentially blocking
     operation.

16.a
          Reason: This allows an implementation to check and raise
          Program_Error as soon as a subprogram is called, rather than
          waiting to find out whether it actually reaches the
          potentially blocking operation.  This in turn allows the
          potentially blocking operation check to be performed prior to
          run time in some environments.

17
If the bounded error is detected, Program_Error is raised.  If not
detected, the bounded error might result in deadlock or a (nested)
protected action on the same target object.

17.a/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00305-01AI95-00305-01>} By "nested
          protected action", we mean that an additional protected action
          can be started by another task on the same protected object.
          This means that mutual exclusion may be broken in this bounded
          error case.  A way to ensure that this does not happen is to
          use pragma Detect_Blocking (see *note H.5::).

18
Certain language-defined subprograms are potentially blocking.  In
particular, the subprograms of the language-defined input-output
packages that manipulate files (implicitly or explicitly) are
potentially blocking.  Other potentially blocking subprograms are
identified where they are defined.  When not specified as potentially
blocking, a language-defined subprogram is nonblocking.

18.a/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00178-01AI95-00178-01>} Any subprogram in a
          language-defined input-output package that has a file
          parameter or result or operates on a default file is
          considered to manipulate a file.  An instance of a
          language-defined input-output generic package provides
          subprograms that are covered by this rule.  The only
          subprograms in language-defined input-output packages not
          covered by this rule (and thus not potentially blocking) are
          the Get and Put routines that take string parameters defined
          in the packages nested in Text_IO.

     NOTES

19
     19  If two tasks both try to start a protected action on a
     protected object, and at most one is calling a protected function,
     then only one of the tasks can proceed.  Although the other task
     cannot proceed, it is not considered blocked, and it might be
     consuming processing resources while it awaits its turn.  There is
     no language-defined ordering or queuing presumed for tasks
     competing to start a protected action -- on a multiprocessor such
     tasks might use busy-waiting; for monoprocessor considerations, see
     *note D.3::, "*note D.3:: Priority Ceiling Locking".

19.a
          Discussion: The intended implementation on a multi-processor
          is in terms of "spin locks" -- the waiting task will spin.

20
     20  The body of a protected unit may contain declarations and
     bodies for local subprograms.  These are not visible outside the
     protected unit.

21
     21  The body of a protected function can contain internal calls on
     other protected functions, but not protected procedures, because
     the current instance is a constant.  On the other hand, the body of
     a protected procedure can contain internal calls on both protected
     functions and procedures.

22
     22  From within a protected action, an internal call on a protected
     subprogram, or an external call on a protected subprogram with a
     different target object is not considered a potentially blocking
     operation.

22.a
          Reason: This is because a task is not considered blocked while
          attempting to acquire the execution resource associated with a
          protected object.  The acquisition of such a resource is
          rather considered part of the normal competition for execution
          resources between the various tasks that are ready.  External
          calls that turn out to be on the same target object are
          considered potentially blocking, since they can deadlock the
          task indefinitely.

22.1/2
     23  {<AI95-00305-01AI95-00305-01>} The pragma Detect_Blocking may
     be used to ensure that all executions of potentially blocking
     operations during a protected action raise Program_Error.  See
     *note H.5::.

          existence of pragma Detect_Blocking.  This pragma can be used
          to ensure portable (somewhat pessimistic) behavior of
          protected actions by converting the Bounded Error into a

9.5.2 Entries and Accept Statements
-----------------------------------

1
Entry_declarations, with the corresponding entry_bodies or
accept_statements, are used to define potentially queued operations on
tasks and protected objects.

                               _Syntax_

2/3
     {<AI95-00397-01AI95-00397-01>} {<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>}
     entry_declaration ::=
        [overriding_indicator]
        entry defining_identifier [(discrete_subtype_definition)] 
     parameter_profile
           [aspect_specification];

3
     accept_statement ::=
        accept <entry_>direct_name [(entry_index)] parameter_profile [do
          handled_sequence_of_statements
        end [<entry_>identifier]];

3.a
          Reason: We cannot use defining_identifier for
          accept_statements.  Although an accept_statement is sort of
          like a body, it can appear nested within a block_statement,
          and therefore be hidden from its own entry by an outer
          homograph.

4
     entry_index ::= expression

5
     entry_body ::=
       entry defining_identifier  entry_body_formal_part  
     entry_barrier is
         declarative_part
       begin
         handled_sequence_of_statements
       end [<entry_>identifier];

5.a/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00397-01AI95-00397-01>} We don't allow an
          overriding_indicator on an entry_body because entries always
          implement procedures at the point of the type declaration;
          there is no late implementation.  And we don't want to have to
          think about overriding_indicators on accept_statements.

6
     entry_body_formal_part ::= [(entry_index_specification)] 
     parameter_profile

7
     entry_barrier ::= when condition

8
     entry_index_specification ::= for defining_identifier in 
     discrete_subtype_definition

9
     If an <entry_>identifier appears at the end of an accept_statement,
     it shall repeat the <entry_>direct_name (*note 4.1: S0092.).  If an
     <entry_>identifier appears at the end of an entry_body (*note
     9.5.2: S0221.), it shall repeat the defining_identifier (*note 3.1:
     S0022.).

10
     [An entry_declaration is allowed only in a protected or task
     declaration.]

10.a
          Proof: This follows from the BNF.

10.1/2
     {<AI95-00397-01AI95-00397-01>} An overriding_indicator is not
     allowed in an entry_declaration that includes a
     discrete_subtype_definition.

10.a.1/2
          Reason: An entry family can never implement something, so
          allowing an indicator is felt by the majority of the ARG to be
          redundant.

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

11
In an accept_statement, the expected profile for the <entry_>direct_name
is that of the entry_declaration (*note 9.5.2: S0218.); the expected
type for an entry_index is that of the subtype defined by the
discrete_subtype_definition (*note 3.6: S0055.) of the corresponding
entry_declaration (*note 9.5.2: S0218.).

12
Within the handled_sequence_of_statements of an accept_statement, if a
selected_component (*note 4.1.3: S0098.) has a prefix that denotes the
corresponding entry_declaration (*note 9.5.2: S0218.), then the entity
denoted by the prefix is the accept_statement (*note 9.5.2: S0219.), and
the selected_component (*note 4.1.3: S0098.) is interpreted as an
expanded name (see *note 4.1.3::)[; the selector_name of the
selected_component (*note 4.1.3: S0098.) has to be the identifier for
some formal parameter of the accept_statement (*note 9.5.2: S0219.)].

12.a
          Proof: The only declarations that occur immediately within the
          declarative region of an accept_statement are those for its
          formal parameters.

                           _Legality Rules_

13
An entry_declaration in a task declaration shall not contain a
specification for an access parameter (see *note 3.10::).

13.a
          Reason: Access parameters for task entries would require a
          complex implementation.  For example:

13.b
               task T is
                  entry E(Z : access Integer); --< Illegal!>
               end T;

13.c
               task body T is
               begin
                  declare
                     type A is access all Integer;
                     X : A;
                     Int : aliased Integer;
                     task Inner;
                     task body Inner is
                     begin
                        T.E(Int'Access);
                     end Inner;
                  begin
                     accept E(Z : access Integer) do
                        X := A(Z); --< Accessibility_Check>
                     end E;
                  end;
               end T;

13.d
          Implementing the Accessibility_Check inside the
          accept_statement for E is difficult, since one does not know
          whether the entry caller is calling from inside the
          immediately enclosing declare block or from outside it.  This
          means that the lexical nesting level associated with the
          designated object is not sufficient to determine whether the
          Accessibility_Check should pass or fail.

13.e
          Note that such problems do not arise with protected entries,
          because entry_bodies are always nested immediately within the
          protected_body; they cannot be further nested as can
          accept_statements, nor can they be called from within the
          protected_body (since no entry calls are permitted inside a
          protected_body).

13.1/2
{<AI95-00397-01AI95-00397-01>} If an entry_declaration has an
overriding_indicator, then at the point of the declaration:

13.2/2
   * if the overriding_indicator is overriding, then the entry shall
     implement an inherited subprogram;

13.3/2
   * if the overriding_indicator is not overriding, then the entry shall
     not implement any inherited subprogram.

13.4/2
In addition to the places where Legality Rules normally apply (see *note
12.3::), these rules also apply in the private part of an instance of a
generic unit.

13.f/2
          Discussion: These rules are subtly different than those for
          subprograms (see *note 8.3.1::) because there cannot be "late"
          inheritance of primitives from interfaces.  Hidden (that is,
          private) interfaces are prohibited explicitly (see *note
          7.3::), as are hidden primitive operations (as private
          operations of public abstract types are prohibited -- see
          *note 3.9.3::).

14
For an accept_statement, the innermost enclosing body shall be a
task_body, and the <entry_>direct_name (*note 4.1: S0092.) shall denote
an entry_declaration (*note 9.5.2: S0218.) in the corresponding task
declaration; the profile of the accept_statement (*note 9.5.2: S0219.)
shall conform fully to that of the corresponding entry_declaration
(*note 9.5.2: S0218.).  An accept_statement (*note 9.5.2: S0219.) shall
have a parenthesized entry_index (*note 9.5.2: S0220.) if and only if
the corresponding entry_declaration (*note 9.5.2: S0218.) has a
discrete_subtype_definition (*note 3.6: S0055.).

15
An accept_statement shall not be within another accept_statement that
corresponds to the same entry_declaration (*note 9.5.2: S0218.), nor
within an asynchronous_select (*note 9.7.4: S0241.) inner to the
enclosing task_body.

15.a
          Reason: Accept_statements are required to be immediately
          within the enclosing task_body (as opposed to being in a
          nested subprogram) to ensure that a nested task does not
          attempt to accept the entry of its enclosing task.  We
          considered relaxing this restriction, either by making the
          check a run-time check, or by allowing a nested task to accept
          an entry of its enclosing task.  However, neither change
          seemed to provide sufficient benefit to justify the additional
          implementation burden.

15.b
          Nested accept_statements for the same entry (or entry family)
          are prohibited to ensure that there is no ambiguity in the
          resolution of an expanded name for a formal parameter of the
          entry.  This could be relaxed by allowing the inner one to
          hide the outer one from all visibility, but again the small
          added benefit didn't seem to justify making the change for Ada
          95.

15.c
          Accept_statements are not permitted within asynchronous_select
          statements to simplify the semantics and implementation: an
          accept_statement in an abortable_part could result in
          Tasking_Error being propagated from an entry call even though
          the target task was still callable; implementations that use
          multiple tasks implicitly to implement an asynchronous_select
          might have trouble supporting "up-level" accepts.
          Furthermore, if accept_statements were permitted in the
          abortable_part, a task could call its own entry and then
          accept it in the abortable_part, leading to rather unusual and
          possibly difficult-to-specify semantics.

16
An entry_declaration of a protected unit requires a completion[, which
shall be an entry_body,] and every entry_body (*note 9.5.2: S0221.)
shall be the completion of an entry_declaration (*note 9.5.2: S0218.) of
a protected unit.  The profile of the entry_body (*note 9.5.2: S0221.)
shall conform fully to that of the corresponding declaration.  

16.a
          Ramification: An entry_declaration, unlike a
          subprogram_declaration, cannot be completed with a
          renaming_declaration (*note 8.5: S0199.).

16.b/3
          To be honest: {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} If the implementation
          supports it, the entry body can be imported (using aspect
          Import, see *note B.1::), in which case no explicit entry_body
          is allowed.

16.c
          Discussion: The above applies only to protected entries, which
          are the only ones completed with entry_bodies.  Task entries
          have corresponding accept_statements instead of having
          entry_bodies, and we do not consider an accept_statement to be
          a "completion," because a task entry_declaration is allowed to
          have zero, one, or more than one corresponding
          accept_statements.

17
An entry_body_formal_part shall have an entry_index_specification (*note
9.5.2: S0224.) if and only if the corresponding entry_declaration (*note
9.5.2: S0218.) has a discrete_subtype_definition (*note 3.6: S0055.).
In this case, the discrete_subtype_definition (*note 3.6: S0055.)s of
the entry_declaration (*note 9.5.2: S0218.) and the
entry_index_specification (*note 9.5.2: S0224.) shall fully conform to
one another (see *note 6.3.1::).  

18
A name that denotes a formal parameter of an entry_body is not allowed
within the entry_barrier of the entry_body.

                          _Static Semantics_

19
The parameter modes defined for parameters in the parameter_profile of
an entry_declaration are the same as for a subprogram_declaration and
have the same meaning (see *note 6.2::).

19.a
          Discussion: Note that access parameters are not allowed for
          task entries (see above).

20
An entry_declaration with a discrete_subtype_definition (see *note
3.6::) declares a <family> of distinct entries having the same profile,
with one such entry for each value of the <entry index subtype> defined
by the discrete_subtype_definition (*note 3.6: S0055.).  [A name for an
entry of a family takes the form of an indexed_component, where the
prefix denotes the entry_declaration for the family, and the index value
identifies the entry within the family.]  The term <single entry> is
used to refer to any entry other than an entry of an entry family.

21
In the entry_body for an entry family, the entry_index_specification
declares a named constant whose subtype is the entry index subtype
defined by the corresponding entry_declaration; the value of the <named
entry index> identifies which entry of the family was called.

21.a
          Ramification: The discrete_subtype_definition of the
          entry_index_specification is not elaborated; the subtype of
          the named constant declared is defined by the
          discrete_subtype_definition of the corresponding
          entry_declaration, which is elaborated, either when the type
          is declared, or when the object is created, if its constraint
          is per-object.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

22/1
{<8652/00028652/0002>} {<AI95-00171-01AI95-00171-01>} The elaboration of
an entry_declaration for an entry family consists of the elaboration of
the discrete_subtype_definition (*note 3.6: S0055.), as described in
*note 3.8::.  The elaboration of an entry_declaration (*note 9.5.2:
S0218.) for a single entry has no effect.

22.a/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} The elaboration of the
          declaration of a protected subprogram has no effect, as
          specified in subclause *note 6.1::.  The default
          initialization of an object of a task or protected type is
          covered in *note 3.3.1::.

23
[The actions to be performed when an entry is called are specified by
the corresponding accept_statement (*note 9.5.2: S0219.)s (if any) for
an entry of a task unit, and by the corresponding entry_body (*note
9.5.2: S0221.) for an entry of a protected unit.]

24
For the execution of an accept_statement, the entry_index, if any, is
first evaluated and converted to the entry index subtype; this index
value identifies which entry of the family is to be accepted.  Further
execution of the accept_statement is then blocked until a caller of the
corresponding entry is selected (see *note 9.5.3::), whereupon the
handled_sequence_of_statements, if any, of the accept_statement is
executed, with the formal parameters associated with the corresponding
actual parameters of the selected entry call.  Upon completion of the
handled_sequence_of_statements, the accept_statement completes and is
left.  When an exception is propagated from the
handled_sequence_of_statements of an accept_statement, the same
exception is also raised by the execution of the corresponding
entry_call_statement.

24.a
          Ramification: This is in addition to propagating it to the
          construct containing the accept_statement.  In other words,
          for a rendezvous, the raising splits in two, and continues
          concurrently in both tasks.

24.b
          The caller gets a new occurrence; this isn't considered
          propagation.

24.c
          Note that we say "propagated from the
          handled_sequence_of_statements of an accept_statement", not
          "propagated from an accept_statement."  The latter would be
          wrong -- we don't want exceptions propagated by the
          entry_index to be sent to the caller (there is none yet!).

25
The above interaction between a calling task and an accepting task is
called a <rendezvous>.  [After a rendezvous, the two tasks continue
their execution independently.]

26
[An entry_body is executed when the condition of the entry_barrier
evaluates to True and a caller of the corresponding single entry, or
entry of the corresponding entry family, has been selected (see *note
9.5.3::).]  For the execution of the entry_body (*note 9.5.2: S0221.),
the declarative_part (*note 3.11: S0086.) of the entry_body (*note
9.5.2: S0221.) is elaborated, and the handled_sequence_of_statements
(*note 11.2: S0265.) of the body is executed, as for the execution of a
subprogram_body.  The value of the named entry index, if any, is
determined by the value of the entry index specified in the <entry_>name
of the selected entry call (or intermediate requeue_statement (*note
9.5.4: S0226.) -- see *note 9.5.4::).

26.a
          To be honest: If the entry had been renamed as a subprogram,
          and the call was a procedure_call_statement using the name
          declared by the renaming, the entry index (if any) comes from
          the entry name specified in the
          subprogram_renaming_declaration.

     NOTES

27
     24  A task entry has corresponding accept_statements (zero or
     more), whereas a protected entry has a corresponding entry_body
     (exactly one).

28
     25  A consequence of the rule regarding the allowed placements of
     accept_statements is that a task can execute accept_statements only
     for its own entries.

29/2
     26  {<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>} A return statement (see *note
     6.5::) or a requeue_statement (see *note 9.5.4::) may be used to
     complete the execution of an accept_statement or an entry_body.

29.a
          Ramification: An accept_statement need not have a
          handled_sequence_of_statements even if the corresponding entry
          has parameters.  Equally, it can have a
          handled_sequence_of_statements even if the corresponding entry
          has no parameters.

29.b
          Ramification: A single entry overloads a subprogram, an
          enumeration literal, or another single entry if they have the
          same defining_identifier.  Overloading is not allowed for
          entry family names.  A single entry or an entry of an entry
          family can be renamed as a procedure as explained in *note
          8.5.4::.

30
     27  The condition in the entry_barrier may reference anything
     visible except the formal parameters of the entry.  This includes
     the entry index (if any), the components (including discriminants)
     of the protected object, the Count attribute of an entry of that
     protected object, and data global to the protected unit.

31
     The restriction against referencing the formal parameters within an
     entry_barrier ensures that all calls of the same entry see the same
     barrier value.  If it is necessary to look at the parameters of an
     entry call before deciding whether to handle it, the entry_barrier
     can be "when True" and the caller can be requeued (on some private
     entry) when its parameters indicate that it cannot be handled
     immediately.

9.5.3 Entry Calls
-----------------

1
[An entry_call_statement (an <entry call>) can appear in various
contexts.]  A <simple> entry call is a stand-alone statement that
represents an unconditional call on an entry of a target task or a
protected object.  [Entry calls can also appear as part of
select_statements (see *note 9.7::).]

                               _Syntax_

2
     entry_call_statement ::= <entry_>name [actual_parameter_part];

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

3
The <entry_>name given in an entry_call_statement shall resolve to
denote an entry.  The rules for parameter associations are the same as
for subprogram calls (see *note 6.4:: and *note 6.4.1::).

                          _Static Semantics_

4
[The <entry_>name of an entry_call_statement specifies (explicitly or
implicitly) the target object of the call, the entry or entry family,
and the entry index, if any (see *note 9.5::).]

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

5
Under certain circumstances (detailed below), an entry of a task or
protected object is checked to see whether it is <open> or <closed>:

6/3
   * {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} An entry of a task is open if the task
     is blocked on an accept_statement that corresponds to the entry
     (see *note 9.5.2::), or on a selective_accept (see *note 9.7.1::)
     with an open accept_alternative that corresponds to the entry;
     otherwise, it is closed.

7/3
   * {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} An entry of a protected object is open
     if the condition of the entry_barrier of the corresponding
     entry_body evaluates to True; otherwise, it is closed.  If the
     evaluation of the condition propagates an exception, the exception
     Program_Error is propagated to all current callers of all entries
     of the protected object.

7.a
          Reason: An exception during barrier evaluation is considered
          essentially a fatal error.  All current entry callers are
          notified with a Program_Error.  In a fault-tolerant system, a
          protected object might provide a Reset protected procedure, or
          equivalent, to support attempts to restore such a "broken"
          protected object to a reasonable state.

7.b
          Discussion: Note that the definition of when a task entry is
          open is based on the state of the (accepting) task, whereas
          the "openness" of a protected entry is defined only when it is
          explicitly checked, since the barrier expression needs to be
          evaluated.  Implementation permissions are given (below) to
          allow implementations to evaluate the barrier expression more
          or less often than it is checked, but the basic semantic model
          presumes it is evaluated at the times when it is checked.

8
For the execution of an entry_call_statement, evaluation of the name and
of the parameter associations is as for a subprogram call (see *note
6.4::).  The entry call is then <issued>: For a call on an entry of a
protected object, a new protected action is started on the object (see
*note 9.5.1::).  The named entry is checked to see if it is open; if
open, the entry call is said to be <selected immediately>, and the
execution of the call proceeds as follows:

9
   * For a call on an open entry of a task, the accepting task becomes
     ready and continues the execution of the corresponding
     accept_statement (see *note 9.5.2::).

10
   * For a call on an open entry of a protected object, the
     corresponding entry_body is executed (see *note 9.5.2::) as part of
     the protected action.

11
If the accept_statement or entry_body completes other than by a requeue
(see *note 9.5.4::), return is made to the caller (after servicing the
entry queues -- see below); any necessary assigning back of formal to
actual parameters occurs, as for a subprogram call (see *note 6.4.1::);
such assignments take place outside of any protected action.

11.a
          Ramification: The return to the caller will generally not
          occur until the protected action completes, unless some other
          thread of control is given the job of completing the protected
          action and releasing the associated execution resource.

12
If the named entry is closed, the entry call is added to an <entry
queue> (as part of the protected action, for a call on a protected
entry), and the call remains queued until it is selected or cancelled;
there is a separate (logical) entry queue for each entry of a given task
or protected object [(including each entry of an entry family)].

13
When a queued call is <selected>, it is removed from its entry queue.
Selecting a queued call from a particular entry queue is called
<servicing> the entry queue.  An entry with queued calls can be serviced
under the following circumstances:

14
   * When the associated task reaches a corresponding accept_statement,
     or a selective_accept with a corresponding open accept_alternative;

15/4
   * {<AI12-0129-1AI12-0129-1>} If after performing, as part of a
     protected action on the associated protected object, an exclusive
     protected operation on the object, the entry is checked and found
     to be open.

16
If there is at least one call on a queue corresponding to an open entry,
then one such call is selected according to the <entry queuing policy>
in effect (see below), and the corresponding accept_statement or
entry_body is executed as above for an entry call that is selected
immediately.

17
The entry queuing policy controls selection among queued calls both for
task and protected entry queues.  The default entry queuing policy is to
select calls on a given entry queue in order of arrival.  If calls from
two or more queues are simultaneously eligible for selection, the
default entry queuing policy does not specify which queue is serviced
first.  Other entry queuing policies can be specified by pragmas (see
*note D.4::).

18
For a protected object, the above servicing of entry queues continues
until there are no open entries with queued calls, at which point the
protected action completes.

18.a
          Discussion: While servicing the entry queues of a protected
          object, no new calls can be added to any entry queue of the
          object, except due to an internal requeue (see *note 9.5.4::).
          This is because the first step of a call on a protected entry
          is to start a new protected action, which implies acquiring
          (for exclusive read-write access) the execution resource
          associated with the protected object, which cannot be done
          while another protected action is already in progress.

19
For an entry call that is added to a queue, and that is not the
triggering_statement of an asynchronous_select (*note 9.7.4: S0241.)
(see *note 9.7.4::), the calling task is blocked until the call is
cancelled, or the call is selected and a corresponding accept_statement
or entry_body completes without requeuing.  In addition, the calling
task is blocked during a rendezvous.

19.a
          Ramification: For a call on a protected entry, the caller is
          not blocked if the call is selected immediately, unless a
          requeue causes the call to be queued.

20
An attempt can be made to cancel an entry call upon an abort (see *note
9.8::) and as part of certain forms of select_statement (see *note
9.7.2::, *note 9.7.3::, and *note 9.7.4::).  The cancellation does not
take place until a point (if any) when the call is on some entry queue,
and not protected from cancellation as part of a requeue (see *note
9.5.4::); at such a point, the call is removed from the entry queue and
the call completes due to the cancellation.  The cancellation of a call
on an entry of a protected object is a protected action[, and as such
cannot take place while any other protected action is occurring on the
protected object.  Like any protected action, it includes servicing of
the entry queues (in case some entry barrier depends on a Count
attribute).]

20.a/2
          Implementation Note: {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} In the
          case of an attempted cancellation due to abort, this removal
          might have to be performed by the calling task itself if the
          ceiling priority of the protected object is lower than the
          priority of the task initiating the abort.

21
A call on an entry of a task that has already completed its execution
raises the exception Tasking_Error at the point of the call; similarly,
this exception is raised at the point of the call if the called task
completes its execution or becomes abnormal before accepting the call or
completing the rendezvous (see *note 9.8::).  This applies equally to a
simple entry call and to an entry call as part of a select_statement.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

22
An implementation may perform the sequence of steps of a protected
action using any thread of control; it need not be that of the task that
started the protected action.  If an entry_body completes without
requeuing, then the corresponding calling task may be made ready without
waiting for the entire protected action to complete.

22.a
          Reason: These permissions are intended to allow flexibility
          for implementations on multiprocessors.  On a monoprocessor,
          which thread of control executes the protected action is
          essentially invisible, since the thread is not abortable in
          any case, and the "current_task" function is not guaranteed to
          work during a protected action (see *note C.7.1::).

23/4
{<AI12-0129-1AI12-0129-1>} When the entry of a protected object is
checked to see whether it is open, the implementation need not
reevaluate the condition of the corresponding entry_barrier if no
variable or attribute referenced by the condition (directly or
indirectly) has been altered by the execution (or cancellation) of a
call to an exclusive protected operation of the object since the
condition was last evaluated.

23.a/4
          Ramification: Changes to variables referenced by an entry
          barrier that result from actions outside of a call to an
          exclusive protected operation of the protected object need not
          be "noticed."  For example, if a global variable is referenced
          by an entry barrier, it should not be altered (except as part
          of a protected action on the object) any time after the
          barrier is first evaluated.  In other words, globals can be
          used to "parameterize" a protected object, but they cannot
          reliably be used to control it after the first use of the
          protected object.

23.b
          Implementation Note: Note that even if a global variable is
          volatile, the implementation need only reevaluate a barrier if
          the global is updated during a protected action on the
          protected object.  This ensures that an entry-open bit-vector
          implementation approach is possible, where the bit-vector is
          computed at the end of a protected action, rather than upon
          each entry call.

24
An implementation may evaluate the conditions of all entry_barriers of a
given protected object any time any entry of the object is checked to
see if it is open.

24.a
          Ramification: In other words, any side effects of evaluating
          an entry barrier should be innocuous, since an entry barrier
          might be evaluated more or less often than is implied by the
          "official" dynamic semantics.

24.b
          Implementation Note: It is anticipated that when the number of
          entries is known to be small, all barriers will be evaluated
          any time one of them needs to be, to produce an "entry-open
          bit-vector."  The appropriate bit will be tested when the
          entry is called, and only if the bit is false will a check be
          made to see whether the bit-vector might need to be
          recomputed.  This should allow an implementation to maximize
          the performance of a call on an open entry, which seems like
          the most important case.

24.c
          In addition to the entry-open bit-vector, an "is-valid" bit is
          needed per object, which indicates whether the current
          bit-vector setting is valid.  A "depends-on-Count-attribute"
          bit is needed per type.  The "is-valid" bit is set to false
          (as are all the bits of the bit-vector) when the protected
          object is first created, as well as any time an exception is
          propagated from computing the bit-vector.  Is-valid would also
          be set false any time the Count is changed and
          "depends-on-Count-attribute" is true for the type, or a
          protected procedure or entry returns indicating it might have
          updated a variable referenced in some barrier.

24.d
          A single procedure can be compiled to evaluate all of the
          barriers, set the entry-open bit-vector accordingly, and set
          the is-valid bit to true.  It could have a "when others"
          handler to set them all false, and call a routine to propagate
          Program_Error to all queued callers.

24.e
          For protected types where the number of entries is not known
          to be small, it makes more sense to evaluate a barrier only
          when the corresponding entry is checked to see if it is open.
          It isn't worth saving the state of the entry between checks,
          because of the space that would be required.  Furthermore, the
          entry queues probably want to take up space only when there is
          actually a caller on them, so rather than an array of all
          entry queues, a linked list of nonempty entry queues make the
          most sense in this case, with the first caller on each entry
          queue acting as the queue header.

25
When an attempt is made to cancel an entry call, the implementation need
not make the attempt using the thread of control of the task (or
interrupt) that initiated the cancellation; in particular, it may use
the thread of control of the caller itself to attempt the cancellation,
even if this might allow the entry call to be selected in the interim.

25.a
          Reason: Because cancellation of a protected entry call is a
          protected action (which helps make the Count attribute of a
          protected entry meaningful), it might not be practical to
          attempt the cancellation from the thread of control that
          initiated the cancellation.  For example, if the cancellation
          is due to the expiration of a delay, it is unlikely that the
          handler of the timer interrupt could perform the necessary
          protected action itself (due to being on the interrupt level).
          Similarly, if the cancellation is due to an abort, it is
          possible that the task initiating the abort has a priority
          higher than the ceiling priority of the protected object (for
          implementations that support ceiling priorities).  Similar
          considerations could apply in a multiprocessor situation.

     NOTES

26
     28  If an exception is raised during the execution of an
     entry_body, it is propagated to the corresponding caller (see *note
     11.4::).

27
     29  For a call on a protected entry, the entry is checked to see if
     it is open prior to queuing the call, and again thereafter if its
     Count attribute (see *note 9.9::) is referenced in some entry
     barrier.

27.a
          Ramification: Given this, extra care is required if a
          reference to the Count attribute of an entry appears in the
          entry's own barrier.

27.b
          Reason: An entry is checked to see if it is open prior to
          queuing to maximize the performance of a call on an open
          entry.

28
     30  In addition to simple entry calls, the language permits timed,
     conditional, and asynchronous entry calls (see *note 9.7.2::, *note
     9.7.3::, and see *note 9.7.4::).

28.a
          Ramification: A task can call its own entries, but the task
          will deadlock if the call is a simple entry call.

29
     31  The condition of an entry_barrier is allowed to be evaluated by
     an implementation more often than strictly necessary, even if the
     evaluation might have side effects.  On the other hand, an
     implementation need not reevaluate the condition if nothing it
     references was updated by an intervening protected action on the
     protected object, even if the condition references some global
     variable that might have been updated by an action performed from
     outside of a protected action.

9.5.4 Requeue Statements
------------------------

1
[A requeue_statement can be used to complete an accept_statement or
entry_body, while redirecting the corresponding entry call to a new (or
the same) entry queue.  Such a <requeue> can be performed with or
without allowing an intermediate cancellation of the call, due to an
abort or the expiration of a delay.  ]

                               _Syntax_

3/3
{<AI05-0030-2AI05-0030-2>} {<AI05-0215-1AI05-0215-1>} The
<procedure_or_entry_>name of a requeue_statement shall resolve to denote
a procedure or an entry (the <requeue ><target>).  The profile of the
entry, or the profile or prefixed profile of the procedure, shall either
have no parameters, or be type conformant (see *note 6.3.1::) with the
profile of the innermost enclosing entry_body (*note 9.5.2: S0221.) or
accept_statement (*note 9.5.2: S0219.).  

                           _Legality Rules_

4
A requeue_statement shall be within a callable construct that is either
an entry_body or an accept_statement, and this construct shall be the
innermost enclosing body or callable construct.

5/3
{<AI05-0030-2AI05-0030-2>} {<AI05-0215-1AI05-0215-1>} If the requeue
target has parameters, then its (prefixed) profile shall be subtype
conformant with the profile of the innermost enclosing callable

enclosing callable construct is for an entry <E1>, for every [specific

shall exist a postcondition expression <P2> that applies to the requeue
target <E2> such that

5.2/4
   * <P1> is fully conformant with the expression produced by replacing
     each reference in <P2> to a formal parameter of <E2> with a

{<AI12-0090-1AI12-0090-1>} If the requeue target is declared immediately
within the task_definition of a named task type or the
protected_definition of a named protected type, and if the requeue
statement occurs within the body of that type, and if the requeue is an
external requeue, then the requeue target shall not have a specific or
class-wide postcondition which includes a name denoting either the
current instance of that type or any entity declared within the
declaration of that type.

5.b/4
          Discussion: The above pair of rules always apply; they don't
          depend on whether or not any of the postconditions are
          enabled.

5.6/4
{<AI05-0030-2AI05-0030-2>} {<AI05-0215-1AI05-0215-1>}
{<AI12-0090-1AI12-0090-1>} If the target is a procedure, the name shall
denote a renaming of an entry, or shall denote a view or a prefixed view
of a primitive subprogram of a synchronized interface, where the first
parameter of the unprefixed view of the primitive subprogram shall be a
controlling parameter, and the Synchronization aspect shall be specified
with synchronization_kind By_Entry for the primitive subprogram.

6/3
{<AI05-0030-2AI05-0030-2>} In a requeue_statement of an accept_statement
of some task unit, either the target object shall be a part of a formal
parameter of the accept_statement, or the accessibility level of the
target object shall not be equal to or statically deeper than any
enclosing accept_statement of the task unit.  In a requeue_statement
(*note 9.5.4: S0226.) of an entry_body (*note 9.5.2: S0221.) of some
protected unit, either the target object shall be a part of a formal
parameter of the entry_body (*note 9.5.2: S0221.), or the accessibility
level of the target object shall not be statically deeper than that of
the entry_declaration for the entry_body.

6.a
          Ramification: In the entry_body case, the intent is that the
          target object can be global, or can be a component of the
          protected unit, but cannot be a local variable of the
          entry_body.

6.b
          Reason: These restrictions ensure that the target object of
          the requeue outlives the completion and finalization of the
          enclosing callable construct.  They also prevent requeuing
          from a nested accept_statement on a parameter of an outer
          accept_statement, which could create some strange
          "long-distance" connections between an entry caller and its
          server.

6.c
          Note that in the strange case where a task_body is nested
          inside an accept_statement, it is permissible to requeue from
          an accept_statement of the inner task_body on parameters of
          the outer accept_statement.  This is not a problem because all
          calls on the inner task have to complete before returning from
          the outer accept_statement, meaning no "dangling calls" will
          be created.

6.d
          Implementation Note: By disallowing certain requeues, we
          ensure that the normal terminate_alternative rules remain
          sensible, and that explicit clearing of the entry queues of a
          protected object during finalization is rarely necessary.  In
          particular, such clearing of the entry queues is necessary
          only (ignoring premature Unchecked_Deallocation) for protected
          objects declared in a task_body (or created by an allocator
          for an access type declared in such a body) containing one or
          more requeue_statements.  Protected objects declared in
          subprograms, or at the library level, will never need to have
          their entry queues explicitly cleared during finalization.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

7/4
{<AI05-0030-2AI05-0030-2>} {<AI12-0090-1AI12-0090-1>} The execution of a
requeue_statement proceeds by first evaluating the
<procedure_or_entry_>name[, including the prefix identifying the target
task or protected object and the expression identifying the entry within
an entry family, if any].  Precondition checks are then performed as for
a call to the requeue target entry or subprogram.  The entry_body or
accept_statement enclosing the requeue_statement is then completed[,
finalized, and left (see *note 7.6.1::)].

8
For the execution of a requeue on an entry of a target task, after
leaving the enclosing callable construct, the named entry is checked to
see if it is open and the requeued call is either selected immediately
or queued, as for a normal entry call (see *note 9.5.3::).

9
For the execution of a requeue on an entry of a target protected object,
after leaving the enclosing callable construct:

10
   * if the requeue is an internal requeue (that is, the requeue is back
     on an entry of the same protected object -- see *note 9.5::), the
     call is added to the queue of the named entry and the ongoing
     protected action continues (see *note 9.5.1::);

10.a
          Ramification: Note that for an internal requeue, the call is
          queued without checking whether the target entry is open.
          This is because the entry queues will be serviced before the
          current protected action completes anyway, and considering the
          requeued call immediately might allow it to "jump" ahead of
          existing callers on the same queue.

11
   * if the requeue is an external requeue (that is, the target
     protected object is not implicitly the same as the current object
     -- see *note 9.5::), a protected action is started on the target
     object and proceeds as for a normal entry call (see *note 9.5.3::).

12/4
{<AI05-0030-2AI05-0030-2>} {<AI05-0090-1AI05-0090-1>} If the requeue
target named in the requeue_statement has formal parameters, then during
the execution of the accept_statement or entry_body corresponding to the
new entry and during the checking of any preconditions of the new entry,
the formal parameters denote the same objects as did the corresponding
formal parameters of the callable construct completed by the requeue.
[In any case, no parameters are specified in a requeue_statement; any
parameter passing is implicit.]

13
If the requeue_statement includes the reserved words with abort (it is a
<requeue-with-abort>), then:

14
   * if the original entry call has been aborted (see *note 9.8::), then
     the requeue acts as an abort completion point for the call, and the
     call is cancelled and no requeue is performed;

15
   * if the original entry call was timed (or conditional), then the
     original expiration time is the expiration time for the requeued
     call.

16
If the reserved words with abort do not appear, then the call remains
protected against cancellation while queued as the result of the
requeue_statement.

16.a
          Ramification: This protection against cancellation lasts only
          until the call completes or a subsequent requeue-with-abort is
          performed on the call.

16.b
          Reason: We chose to protect a requeue, by default, against
          abort or cancellation.  This seemed safer, since it is likely
          that extra steps need to be taken to allow for possible
          cancellation once the servicing of an entry call has begun.
          This also means that in the absence of with abort the usual
          Ada 83 behavior is preserved, namely that once an entry call
          is accepted, it cannot be cancelled until it completes.

     NOTES

17
     32  A requeue is permitted from a single entry to an entry of an
     entry family, or vice-versa.  The entry index, if any, plays no
     part in the subtype conformance check between the profiles of the
     two entries; an entry index is part of the <entry_>name for an
     entry of a family.  

                              _Examples_

18
<Examples of requeue statements:>

20.c/4
          {<AI05-0090-1AI05-0090-1>} Corrigendum: We now define that any
          preconditions of the requeue target are evaluated as part of a
          requeue_statement.  Original Ada 2012 did not specify this, so
          a program that requeues when the preconditions fail will raise
          an exception when none would happen in original Ada 2012.  We
          don't expect this to be a problem, as in that case, the entry
          body would be called with some of its preconditions evaluating
          as False; the body is likely to assume that they are true and
          probably will have failed in some other way anyway.

                   _Incompatibilities With Ada 2012_

20.d/4
          {<AI05-0090-1AI05-0090-1>} Corrigendum: If a requeue target
          has a different postcondition than the original entry, the
          requeue is now illegal.  In such a case, the original
          postcondition would never have been evaluated, and assumptions
          that the caller relied upon might not be true.  A requeue
          should be invisible to the caller with respect to any
          postconditions; thus we only allow it when the original entry
          has no postconditions or the requeue target has (at least) the
          same postconditions.

9.6 Delay Statements, Duration, and Time
========================================

1
[ A delay_statement is used to block further execution until a specified
<expiration time> is reached.  The expiration time can be specified
either as a particular point in time (in a delay_until_statement (*note
9.6: S0228.)), or in seconds from the current time (in a
delay_relative_statement (*note 9.6: S0229.)).  The language-defined
package Calendar provides definitions for a type Time and associated
operations, including a function Clock that returns the current time.  ]

                               _Syntax_

2
     delay_statement ::= delay_until_statement | 
     delay_relative_statement

3
     delay_until_statement ::= delay until <delay_>expression;

4
     delay_relative_statement ::= delay <delay_>expression;

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

5
The expected type for the <delay_>expression in a
delay_relative_statement is the predefined type Duration.  The
<delay_>expression in a delay_until_statement is expected to be of any
nonlimited type.

                           _Legality Rules_

6/3
{<AI05-0092-1AI05-0092-1>} There can be multiple time bases, each with a
corresponding clock, and a corresponding <time type>.  The type of the
<delay_>expression in a delay_until_statement shall be a time type --
either the type Time defined in the language-defined package Calendar
(see below), the type Time in the package Real_Time (see *note D.8::),
or some other implementation-defined time type.

6.a
          Implementation defined: Any implementation-defined time types.

                          _Static Semantics_

7
[There is a predefined fixed point type named Duration, declared in the
visible part of package Standard;] a value of type Duration is used to
represent the length of an interval of time, expressed in seconds.  [The
type Duration is not specific to a particular time base, but can be used
with any time base.]

8/3
{<AI05-0092-1AI05-0092-1>} A value of the type Time in package Calendar,
or of some other time type, represents a time as reported by a
corresponding clock.

9
The following language-defined library package exists:

     {<AI95-00351-01AI95-00351-01>}   subtype Year_Number  is Integer range 1901 .. 2399;
       subtype Month_Number is Integer range 1 .. 12;
       subtype Day_Number   is Integer range 1 .. 31;
       subtype Day_Duration is Duration range 0.0 .. 86_400.0;

11.a/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00351-01AI95-00351-01>} A range of 500 years
          was chosen, as that only requires one extra bit for the year
          as compared to Ada 95.  This was done to minimize disruptions
          with existing implementations.  (One implementor reports that
          their time values represent nanoseconds, and this year range
          requires 63.77 bits to represent.)

12
       function Clock return Time;

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

20
For the execution of a delay_statement, the <delay_>expression is first
evaluated.  For a delay_until_statement, the expiration time for the
delay is the value of the <delay_>expression, in the time base
associated with the type of the expression.  For a
delay_relative_statement, the expiration time is defined as the current
time, in the time base associated with relative delays, plus the value
of the <delay_>expression converted to the type Duration, and then
rounded up to the next clock tick.  The time base associated with
relative delays is as defined in *note D.9::, "*note D.9:: Delay
Accuracy" or is implementation defined.

20.a
          Implementation defined: The time base associated with relative
          delays.

20.b
          Ramification: Rounding up to the next clock tick means that
          the reading of the delay-relative clock when the delay expires
          should be no less than the current reading of the
          delay-relative clock plus the specified duration.

21
The task executing a delay_statement is blocked until the expiration
time is reached, at which point it becomes ready again.  If the
expiration time has already passed, the task is not blocked.

21.a
          Discussion: For a delay_relative_statement, this case
          corresponds to when the value of the <delay_>expression is
          zero or negative.

21.b
          Even though the task is not blocked, it might be put back on
          the end of its ready queue.  See *note D.2::, "*note D.2::
          Priority Scheduling".

22/3
{<AI05-0092-1AI05-0092-1>} If an attempt is made to <cancel> the
delay_statement [(as part of an asynchronous_select (*note 9.7.4:
S0241.) or abort -- see *note 9.7.4:: and *note 9.8::)], the statement
is cancelled if the expiration time has not yet passed, thereby
completing the delay_statement.

22.a
          Reason: This is worded this way so that in an
          asynchronous_select where the triggering_statement is a
          delay_statement, an attempt to cancel the delay when the
          abortable_part completes is ignored if the expiration time has
          already passed, in which case the optional statements of the
          triggering_alternative are executed.

23
The time base associated with the type Time of package Calendar is
implementation defined.  The function Clock of package Calendar returns
a value representing the current time for this time base.  [The
implementation-defined value of the named number System.Tick (see *note
13.7::) is an approximation of the length of the real-time interval
during which the value of Calendar.Clock remains constant.]

23.a
          Implementation defined: The time base of the type
          Calendar.Time.

24/2
{<AI95-00351-01AI95-00351-01>} The functions Year, Month, Day, and
Seconds return the corresponding values for a given value of the type
Time, as appropriate to an implementation-defined time zone; the
procedure Split returns all four corresponding values.  Conversely, the
function Time_Of combines a year number, a month number, a day number,
and a duration, into a value of type Time.  The operators "+" and "-"
for addition and subtraction of times and durations, and the relational
operators for times, have the conventional meaning.

24.a/2
          Implementation defined: The time zone used for package
          Calendar operations.

24.b/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0119-1AI05-0119-1>} The behavior of these
          values and subprograms if the time zone changes is also
          implementation-defined.  In particular, the changes associated
          with summer time adjustments (like Daylight Savings Time in
          the United States) should be treated as a change in the
          implementation-defined time zone.  The language does not
          specify whether the time zone information is stored in values
          of type Time; therefore the results of binary operators are
          unspecified when the operands are the two values with
          different effective time zones.  In particular, the results of
          "-" may differ from the "real" result by the difference in the
          time zone adjustment.  Similarly, the result of
          UTC_Time_Offset (see 9.6.1) may or may not reflect a time zone
          adjustment.

25
If Time_Of is called with a seconds value of 86_400.0, the value
returned is equal to the value of Time_Of for the next day with a
seconds value of 0.0.  The value returned by the function Seconds or
through the Seconds parameter of the procedure Split is always less than
86_400.0.

26/1
{<8652/00308652/0030>} {<AI95-00113-01AI95-00113-01>} The exception
Time_Error is raised by the function Time_Of if the actual parameters do
not form a proper date.  This exception is also raised by the operators
"+" and "-" if the result is not representable in the type Time or
Duration, as appropriate.  This exception is also raised by the
functions Year, Month, Day, and Seconds and the procedure Split if the
year number of the given date is outside of the range of the subtype
Year_Number.

26.a/1
          To be honest: {<8652/01068652/0106>}
          {<AI95-00160-01AI95-00160-01>} By "proper date" above we mean
          that the given year has a month with the given day.  For
          example, February 29th is a proper date only for a leap year.
          We do not mean to include the Seconds in this notion; in
          particular, we do not mean to require implementations to check
          for the "missing hour" that occurs when Daylight Savings Time
          starts in the spring.

26.b/2
          Reason: {<8652/00308652/0030>} {<AI95-00113-01AI95-00113-01>}
          {<AI95-00351-01AI95-00351-01>} We allow Year and Split to
          raise Time_Error because the arithmetic operators are allowed
          (but not required) to produce times that are outside the range
          of years from 1901 to 2399.  This is similar to the way
          integer operators may return values outside the base range of
          their type so long as the value is mathematically correct.  We
          allow the functions Month, Day and Seconds to raise Time_Error
          so that they can be implemented in terms of Split.

                     _Implementation Requirements_

27
The implementation of the type Duration shall allow representation of
time intervals (both positive and negative) up to at least 86400 seconds
(one day); Duration'Small shall not be greater than twenty milliseconds.
The implementation of the type Time shall allow representation of all
dates with year numbers in the range of Year_Number[; it may allow
representation of other dates as well (both earlier and later).]

                     _Implementation Permissions_

28/3
{<AI05-0092-1AI05-0092-1>} An implementation may define additional time
types.

29
An implementation may raise Time_Error if the value of a
<delay_>expression in a delay_until_statement of a select_statement
represents a time more than 90 days past the current time.  The actual
limit, if any, is implementation-defined.

29.a
          Implementation defined: Any limit on delay_until_statements of
          select_statements.

29.b
          Implementation Note: This allows an implementation to
          implement select_statement timeouts using a representation
          that does not support the full range of a time type.  In
          particular 90 days of seconds can be represented in 23 bits,
          allowing a signed 24-bit representation for the seconds part
          of a timeout.  There is no similar restriction allowed for
          stand-alone delay_until_statements, as these can be
          implemented internally using a loop if necessary to
          accommodate a long delay.

                        _Implementation Advice_

30
Whenever possible in an implementation, the value of Duration'Small
should be no greater than 100 microseconds.

30.a
          Implementation Note: This can be satisfied using a 32-bit 2's
          complement representation with a <small> of 2.0**(-14) -- that
          is, 61 microseconds -- and a range of ± 2.0**17 -- that is,
          131_072.0.

30.b/2
          Implementation Advice: The value of Duration'Small should be
          no greater than 100 microseconds.

31
The time base for delay_relative_statements should be monotonic; it need
not be the same time base as used for Calendar.Clock.

31.a/2
          Implementation Advice: The time base for
          delay_relative_statements should be monotonic.

     NOTES

32
     33  A delay_relative_statement with a negative value of the
     <delay_>expression is equivalent to one with a zero value.

33
     34  A delay_statement may be executed by the environment task;
     consequently delay_statements may be executed as part of the
     elaboration of a library_item or the execution of the main
     subprogram.  Such statements delay the environment task (see *note
     10.2::).

34
     35  A delay_statement is an abort completion point and a
     potentially blocking operation, even if the task is not actually
     blocked.

35
     36  There is no necessary relationship between System.Tick (the
     resolution of the clock of package Calendar) and Duration'Small
     (the <small> of type Duration).

35.a
          Ramification: The inaccuracy of the delay_statement has no
          relation to System.Tick.  In particular, it is possible that
          the clock used for the delay_statement is less accurate than
          Calendar.Clock.

35.b
          We considered making Tick a run-time-determined quantity, to
          allow for easier configurability.  However, this would not be
          upward compatible, and the desired configurability can be
          achieved using functionality defined in *note Annex D::,
          "*note Annex D:: Real-Time Systems".

36
     37  Additional requirements associated with delay_statements are
     given in *note D.9::, "*note D.9:: Delay Accuracy".

                              _Examples_

37
<Example of a relative delay statement:>

38
     delay 3.0;  --< delay 3.0 seconds>

39
<Example of a periodic task:>

40
     declare
        use Ada.Calendar;
        Next_Time : Time := Clock + Period;
                           --< Period is a global constant of type Duration>
     begin
        loop               --< repeated every Period seconds>
           delay until Next_Time;
           ... --< perform some actions>
           Next_Time := Next_Time + Period;
        end loop;
     end;

                     _Inconsistencies With Ada 83_

40.a
          For programs that raise Time_Error on "+" or "-" in Ada 83,the
          exception might be deferred until a call on Split or
          Year_Number, or might not be raised at all (if the offending
          time is never Split after being calculated).  This should not
          affect typical programs, since they deal only with times
          corresponding to the relatively recent past or near future.

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

40.b
          The syntax rule for delay_statement is modified to allow
          delay_until_statements.

40.c/2
          {<AI95-00351-01AI95-00351-01>} The type Time may represent
          dates with year numbers outside of Year_Number.  Therefore,
          the operations "+" and "-" need only raise Time_Error if the
          result is not representable in Time (or Duration); also, Split
          or Year will now raise Time_Error if the year number is
          outside of Year_Number.  This change is intended to simplify
          the implementation of "+" and "-" (allowing them to depend on
          overflow for detecting when to raise Time_Error) and to allow
          local time zone information to be considered at the time of
          Split rather than Clock (depending on the implementation
          approach).  For example, in a POSIX environment, it is natural
          for the type Time to be based on GMT, and the results of
          procedure Split (and the functions Year, Month, Day, and
          Seconds) to depend on local time zone information.  In other
          environments, it is more natural for the type Time to be based
          on the local time zone, with the results of Year, Month, Day,
          and Seconds being pure functions of their input.

                     _Inconsistencies With Ada 95_

40.e/2
          {<AI95-00351-01AI95-00351-01>} The upper bound of Year_Number
          has been changed to avoid a year 2100 problem.  A program
          which expects years past 2099 to raise Constraint_Error will
          fail in Ada 2005.  We don't expect there to be many programs
          which are depending on an exception to be raised.  A program
          that uses Year_Number'Last as a magic number may also fail if
          values of Time are stored outside of the program.  Note that
          the lower bound of Year_Number wasn't changed, because it is
          not unusual to use that value in a constant to represent an
          unknown time.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

          Time_Error.

{<AI95-00351-01AI95-00351-01>} {<AI95-00427-01AI95-00427-01>} The
following language-defined library packages exist:

4/2
        type Time_Offset is range -28*60 .. 28*60;

4.a/4
          Reason: {<AI12-0005-1AI12-0005-1>} We want to be able to
          specify the difference between any two arbitrary time zones.
          You might think that 1440 (24 hours) would be enough, but
          there are places (like Tonga, which is UTC+13hr) which are
          more than 12 hours different than UTC. Combined with summer
          time (known as daylight saving time in some parts of the
          world) - which switches opposite in the northern and southern
          hemispheres - and even greater differences are possible.  We
          know of cases of a 26 hours difference, so we err on the safe
          side by selecting 28 hours as the limit.

          soon if the earth's behavior suddenly changes.  We believe
          that the maximum number is 1612, based on the current rules,
          but that number is too weird to use here.

70.a/2
          Ramification: There is only one way to do the split which

70.b/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0238-1AI05-0238-1>} If Seconds = 86400.0, one
          of the returned values would have to be out of its defined
          range (either Sub_Second = 1.0 or Hour = 24 with the other
          value being 0).  This doesn't seem worth breaking the
          invariants.

          If Leap_Second is False, returns a Time built from the date
          and time values, relative to the specified time zone offset.
          If Leap_Second is True, returns the Time that represents the
          time within the leap second that is one second later than the
          time specified by the other parameters.  Time_Error is raised
          if the parameters do not form a proper date or time.  If
          Time_Of is called with a Sub_Second value of 1.0, the value
          returned is equal to the value of Time_Of for the next second
          with a Sub_Second value of 0.0.

72.a/2
          Discussion: Time_Error should be raised if Leap_Second is
          True, and the date and time values do not represent the second
          before a leap second.  A leap second always occurs at midnight
          UTC, and is 23:59:60 UTC in ISO notation.  So, if the time
          zone is UTC and Leap_Second is True, if any of Hour /= 23,
          Minute /= 59, or Second /= 59, then Time_Error should be
          raised.  However, we do not say that, because other time zones
          will have different values where a leap second is allowed.

          time within the leap second that is one second later than the
          time specified by the other parameters.  Time_Error is raised
          if the parameters do not form a proper date or time.  If
          Time_Of is called with a Seconds value of 86_400.0, the value

82.a/2
          Discussion: The Image provides a string in ISO 8601 format,
          the international standard time format.  Alternative
          representations allowed in ISO 8601 are not supported here.

82.b/2
          ISO 8601 allows 24:00:00 for midnight; and a seconds value of
          60 for leap seconds.  These are not allowed here (the routines
          mentioned above cannot produce those results).

82.c/2
          Ramification: The fractional part is truncated, not rounded.
          It would be quite hard to define the result with proper
          rounding, as it can change all of the values of the image.
          Values can be rounded up by adding an appropriate constant
          (0.5 if Include_Time_Fraction is False, 0.005 otherwise) to
          the time before taking the image.

84.a/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} The intent is that the
          implementation enforce the same range rules on the string as
          the appropriate function Time_Of, except for the hour, so
          "cannot interpret the given string as a Time value" happens
          when one of the values is out of the required range.  For
          example, "2005-08-31 24:00:00" should raise Constraint_Error
          (the hour is out of range).

          {<AI95-00351-01AI95-00351-01>} Returns a string form of the
          Elapsed_Time.  The format is "Hour:Minute:Second", where all
          values are 2-digit values, including a leading zero, if

          Include_Time_Fraction is True, the integer part of
          Sub_Seconds*100 is suffixed to the string as a point followed
          by a 2-digit value.  If Elapsed_Time < 0.0, the result is
          Image (abs Elapsed_Time, Include_Time_Fraction) prefixed with
          a minus sign.  If abs Elapsed_Time represents 100 hours or
          more, the result is implementation-defined.

86.a/2
          Implementation defined: The result of Calendar.Formating.Image
          if its argument represents more than 100 hours.

86.b/2
          Implementation Note: This cannot be implemented (directly) by
          calling Calendar.Formatting.Split, since it may be out of the
          range of Day_Duration, and thus the number of hours may be out
          of the range of Hour_Number.

86.c
          If a Duration value can represent more then 100 hours, the
          implementation will need to define a format for the return of
          Image.

     function Value (Elapsed_Time : String) return Duration;

88/2
          {<AI95-00351-01AI95-00351-01>} Returns a Duration value for
          the image given as Elapsed_Time.  Constraint_Error is raised
          if the string is not formatted as described for Image, or the
          function cannot interpret the given string as a Duration
          value.

88.a/2
          Discussion: The intent is that the implementation enforce the
          same range rules on the string as the appropriate function
          Time_Of, except for the hour, so "cannot interpret the given
          string as a Time value" happens when one of the values is out
          of the required range.  For example, "10:23:60" should raise
          Constraint_Error (the seconds value is out of range).

                        _Implementation Advice_

89/2
{<AI95-00351-01AI95-00351-01>} An implementation should support leap
seconds if the target system supports them.  If leap seconds are not
supported, Difference should return zero for Leap_Seconds, Split should
return False for Leap_Second, and Time_Of should raise Time_Error if
Leap_Second is True.

89.a/2
          Implementation Advice: Leap seconds should be supported if the
          target system supports them.  Otherwise, operations in
          Calendar.Formatting should return results consistent with no
          leap seconds.

89.b/2
          Discussion: An implementation can always support leap seconds
          when the target system does not; indeed, this isn't
          particularly hard (all that is required is a table of when
          leap seconds were inserted).  As such, leap second support
          isn't "impossible or impractical" in the sense of *note
          1.1.3::.  However, for some purposes, it may be important to
          follow the target system's lack of leap second support (if the
          target is a GPS satellite, which does not use leap seconds,
          leap second support would be a handicap to work around).
          Thus, this Implementation Advice should be read as giving
          permission to not support leap seconds on target systems that
          don't support leap seconds.  Implementers should use the needs
          of their customers to determine whether or not support leap
          seconds on such targets.

     zone of package Calendar may, but need not, be the local time zone.
     UTC_Time_Offset always returns the difference relative to the

          close to UTC time; for most purposes they can be treated the
          same.  GMT is the time based on the rotation of the Earth; UTC
          is the time based on atomic clocks, with leap seconds
          periodically inserted to realign with GMT (because most human
          activities depend on the rotation of the Earth).  At any point
          in time, there will be a sub-second difference between GMT and
          UTC.

          rather than breaking some invariant or raising some other
          exception.  Ada 2005 left this unspecified; a program that
          depended on what some implementation does might break, but
          such a program is not portable anyway.

9.7 Select Statements
=====================

1
[There are four forms of the select_statement.  One form provides a
selective wait for one or more select_alternatives.  Two provide timed
and conditional entry calls.  The fourth provides asynchronous transfer
of control.]

                               _Syntax_

2
     select_statement ::=
        selective_accept
       | timed_entry_call
       | conditional_entry_call
       | asynchronous_select

9.7.1 Selective Accept
----------------------

1
[This form of the select_statement allows a combination of waiting for,
and selecting from, one or more alternatives.  The selection may depend
on conditions associated with each alternative of the selective_accept.]

                               _Syntax_

2
     selective_accept ::=
       select
        [guard]
          select_alternative
     { or
        [guard]
          select_alternative }
     [ else
        sequence_of_statements ]
       end select;

3
     guard ::= when condition =>

4
     select_alternative ::=
        accept_alternative
       | delay_alternative
       | terminate_alternative

5
     accept_alternative ::=
       accept_statement [sequence_of_statements]

6
     delay_alternative ::=
       delay_statement [sequence_of_statements]

7
     terminate_alternative ::= terminate;

8
     A selective_accept shall contain at least one accept_alternative.
     In addition, it can contain:

9
        * a terminate_alternative (only one); or

10
        * one or more delay_alternatives; or

11
        * an <else part> (the reserved word else followed by a
          sequence_of_statements).

12
     These three possibilities are mutually exclusive.

                           _Legality Rules_

13
If a selective_accept contains more than one delay_alternative, then all
shall be delay_relative_statement (*note 9.6: S0229.)s, or all shall be
delay_until_statement (*note 9.6: S0228.)s for the same time type.

13.a
          Reason: This simplifies the implementation and the description
          of the semantics.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

14
A select_alternative is said to be <open> if it is not immediately
preceded by a guard, or if the condition of its guard evaluates to True.
It is said to be <closed> otherwise.

15
For the execution of a selective_accept, any guard conditions are
evaluated; open alternatives are thus determined.  For an open
delay_alternative, the <delay_>expression is also evaluated.  Similarly,
for an open accept_alternative for an entry of a family, the entry_index
is also evaluated.  These evaluations are performed in an arbitrary
order, except that a <delay_>expression or entry_index is not evaluated
until after evaluating the corresponding condition, if any.  Selection
and execution of one open alternative, or of the else part, then
completes the execution of the selective_accept; the rules for this
selection are described below.

16
Open accept_alternatives are first considered.  Selection of one such
alternative takes place immediately if the corresponding entry already
has queued calls.  If several alternatives can thus be selected, one of
them is selected according to the entry queuing policy in effect (see
*note 9.5.3:: and *note D.4::).  When such an alternative is selected,
the selected call is removed from its entry queue and the
handled_sequence_of_statements (*note 11.2: S0265.) (if any) of the
corresponding accept_statement is executed; after the rendezvous
completes any subsequent sequence_of_statements (*note 5.1: S0145.) of
the alternative is executed.  If no selection is immediately possible
(in the above sense) and there is no else part, the task blocks until an
open alternative can be selected.

17
Selection of the other forms of alternative or of an else part is
performed as follows:

18
   * An open delay_alternative is selected when its expiration time is
     reached if no accept_alternative (*note 9.7.1: S0234.) or other
     delay_alternative (*note 9.7.1: S0235.) can be selected prior to
     the expiration time.  If several delay_alternative (*note 9.7.1:
     S0235.)s have this same expiration time, one of them is selected
     according to the queuing policy in effect (see *note D.4::); the
     default queuing policy chooses arbitrarily among the
     delay_alternative (*note 9.7.1: S0235.)s whose expiration time has
     passed.

19
   * The else part is selected and its sequence_of_statements (*note
     5.1: S0145.) is executed if no accept_alternative can immediately
     be selected; in particular, if all alternatives are closed.

20/3
   * {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} An open terminate_alternative is
     selected if the conditions stated at the end of subclause *note
     9.3:: are satisfied.

20.a
          Ramification: In the absence of a requeue_statement, the
          conditions stated are such that a terminate_alternative cannot
          be selected while there is a queued entry call for any entry
          of the task.  In the presence of requeues from a task to one
          of its subtasks, it is possible that when a
          terminate_alternative of the subtask is selected, requeued
          calls (for closed entries only) might still be queued on some
          entry of the subtask.  Tasking_Error will be propagated to
          such callers, as is usual when a task completes while queued
          callers remain.

21
The exception Program_Error is raised if all alternatives are closed and
there is no else part.

     NOTES

22
     40  A selective_accept is allowed to have several open
     delay_alternatives.  A selective_accept is allowed to have several
     open accept_alternatives for the same entry.

                              _Examples_

23
<Example of a task body with a selective accept:>

24
     task body Server is
        Current_Work_Item : Work_Item;
     begin
        loop
           select
              accept Next_Work_Item(WI : in Work_Item) do
                 Current_Work_Item := WI;
              end;
              Process_Work_Item(Current_Work_Item);
           or
              accept Shut_Down;
              exit;       --< Premature shut down requested>
           or
              terminate;  --< Normal shutdown at end of scope>
           end select;
        end loop;
     end Server;

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

24.a
          The name of selective_wait was changed to selective_accept to
          better describe what is being waited for.  We kept
          select_alternative as is, because selective_accept_alternative
          was too easily confused with accept_alternative.

9.7.2 Timed Entry Calls
-----------------------

1/2
{<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} [A timed_entry_call issues an entry call
that is cancelled if the call (or a requeue-with-abort of the call) is
not selected before the expiration time is reached.  A procedure call
may appear rather than an entry call for cases where the procedure might
be implemented by an entry.  ]

                               _Syntax_

2
     timed_entry_call ::=
       select
        entry_call_alternative

3.2/2
{<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} If a procedure_call_statement is used for
a procedure_or_entry_call, the <procedure_>name or <procedure_>prefix of
the procedure_call_statement shall statically denote an entry renamed as
a procedure or (a view of) a primitive subprogram of a limited interface
whose first parameter is a controlling parameter (see *note 3.9.2::).

3.a/2
          Reason: This would be a confusing way to call a procedure, so
          we only allow it when it is possible that the procedure is
          actually an entry.  We could have allowed formal subprograms
          here, but we didn't because we'd have to allow all formal
          subprograms, and it would increase the difficulty of generic
          code sharing.

3.b/2
          We say "statically denotes" because an access-to-subprogram
          cannot be primitive, and we don't have anything like
          access-to-entry.  So only names of entries or procedures are
          possible.

4/2
{<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} For the execution of a timed_entry_call,
the <entry_>name, <procedure_>name, or <procedure_>prefix, and any
actual parameters are evaluated, as for a simple entry call (see *note
9.5.3::) or procedure call (see *note 6.4::).  The expiration time (see
*note 9.6::) for the call is determined by evaluating the
<delay_>expression of the delay_alternative.  If the call is an entry
call or a call on a procedure implemented by an entry, the entry call is
then issued.  Otherwise, the call proceeds as described in *note 6.4::
for a procedure call, followed by the sequence_of_statements (*note 5.1:
S0145.) of the entry_call_alternative (*note 9.7.2: S0238.); the
sequence_of_statements (*note 5.1: S0145.) of the delay_alternative
(*note 9.7.1: S0235.) is ignored.

5
If the call is queued (including due to a requeue-with-abort), and not
selected before the expiration time is reached, an attempt to cancel the
call is made.  If the call completes due to the cancellation, the
optional sequence_of_statements (*note 5.1: S0145.) of the
delay_alternative (*note 9.7.1: S0235.) is executed; if the entry call
completes normally, the optional sequence_of_statements (*note 5.1:
S0145.) of the entry_call_alternative (*note 9.7.2: S0238.) is executed.

          actually be an entry.  Since the fact that something is an
          entry could be used in resolving these calls in Ada 95, it is
          possible for timed or conditional entry calls that resolved in
          Ada 95 to be ambiguous in Ada 2005.  That could happen if both
          an entry and procedure with the same name and profile exist,
          which should be rare.

1.a
          To be honest: In the case of an entry call on a protected
          object, it is OK if the entry is closed at the start of the
          corresponding protected action, so long as it opens and the
          call is selected before the end of that protected action (due

the execution of a timed_entry_call (*note 9.7.2: S0237.) with a

expiration time and the same sequence_of_statements (*note 5.1: S0145.)

9.7.4 Asynchronous Transfer of Control
--------------------------------------

1
[An asynchronous select_statement provides asynchronous transfer of
control upon completion of an entry call or the expiration of a delay.]

2
     asynchronous_select ::=

        triggering_alternative

     abortable_part ::= sequence_of_statements

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

6/2
{<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} For the execution of an
asynchronous_select whose triggering_statement (*note 9.7.4: S0243.) is
a procedure_or_entry_call, the <entry_>name, <procedure_>name, or
<procedure_>prefix, and actual parameters are evaluated as for a simple
entry call (see *note 9.5.3::) or procedure call (see *note 6.4::).  If
the call is an entry call or a call on a procedure implemented by an
entry, the entry call is issued.  If the entry call is queued (or
requeued-with-abort), then the abortable_part is executed.  [If the
entry call is selected immediately, and never requeued-with-abort, then
the abortable_part is never started.]  If the call is on a procedure
that is not implemented by an entry, the call proceeds as described in
*note 6.4::, followed by the sequence_of_statements (*note 5.1: S0145.)
of the triggering_alternative (*note 9.7.4: S0242.)[; the abortable_part
is never started].

7
For the execution of an asynchronous_select whose triggering_statement
(*note 9.7.4: S0243.) is a delay_statement, the <delay_>expression is
evaluated and the expiration time is determined, as for a normal
delay_statement.  If the expiration time has not already passed, the
abortable_part is executed.

8
If the abortable_part completes and is left prior to completion of the
triggering_statement (*note 9.7.4: S0243.), an attempt to cancel the
triggering_statement (*note 9.7.4: S0243.) is made.  If the attempt to
cancel succeeds (see *note 9.5.3:: and *note 9.6::), the
asynchronous_select is complete.

9
If the triggering_statement (*note 9.7.4: S0243.) completes other than
due to cancellation, the abortable_part is aborted (if started but not
yet completed -- see *note 9.8::).  If the triggering_statement (*note
9.7.4: S0243.) completes normally, the optional sequence_of_statements
(*note 5.1: S0145.) of the triggering_alternative (*note 9.7.4: S0242.)
is executed after the abortable_part is left.

9.a
          Discussion: We currently don't specify when the by-copy [in]
          out parameters are assigned back into the actuals.  We
          considered requiring that to happen after the abortable_part
          is left.  However, that doesn't seem useful enough to justify
          possibly overspecifying the implementation approach, since
          some of the parameters are passed by reference anyway.

9.b
          In an earlier description, we required that the
          sequence_of_statements (*note 5.1: S0145.) of the
          triggering_alternative (*note 9.7.4: S0242.) execute after
          aborting the abortable_part, but before waiting for it to
          complete and finalize, to provide more rapid response to the
          triggering event in case the finalization was unbounded.
          However, various reviewers felt that this created unnecessary
          complexity in the description, and a potential for undesirable
          concurrency (and nondeterminism) within a single task.  We
          have now reverted to simpler, more deterministic semantics,
          but anticipate that further discussion of this issue might be
          appropriate during subsequent reviews.  One possibility is to
          leave this area implementation defined, so as to encourage
          experimentation.  The user would then have to assume the worst
          about what kinds of actions are appropriate for the
          sequence_of_statements (*note 5.1: S0145.) of the
          triggering_alternative (*note 9.7.4: S0242.) to achieve
          portability.

9.8 Abort of a Task - Abort of a Sequence of Statements
=======================================================

1
[An abort_statement causes one or more tasks to become abnormal, thus
preventing any further interaction with such tasks.  The completion of
the triggering_statement (*note 9.7.4: S0243.) of an asynchronous_select
causes a sequence_of_statements (*note 5.1: S0145.) to be aborted.]

                               _Syntax_

2
     abort_statement ::= abort <task_>name {, <task_>name};

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

3
Each <task_>name is expected to be of any task type[; they need not all
be of the same task type.]

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

4
For the execution of an abort_statement, the given <task_>names are
evaluated in an arbitrary order.  Each named task is then <aborted>,
which consists of making the task <abnormal> and aborting the execution
of the corresponding task_body, unless it is already completed.

4.a/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} Note that
          aborting those tasks is not defined to be an abort-deferred
          operation.  Therefore, if one of the named tasks is the task
          executing the abort_statement, or if the task executing the
          abort_statement depends on one of the named tasks, then it is
          possible for the execution of the abort_statement to be
          aborted, thus leaving some of the tasks unaborted.  This
          allows the implementation to use either a sequence of calls to
          an "abort task" run-time system primitive, or a single call to
          an "abort list of tasks" run-time system primitive.

5
When the execution of a construct is <aborted> (including that of a
task_body (*note 9.1: S0209.) or of a sequence_of_statements (*note 5.1:
S0145.)), the execution of every construct included within the aborted
execution is also aborted, except for executions included within the
execution of an <abort-deferred> operation; the execution of an
abort-deferred operation continues to completion without being affected
by the abort; the following are the abort-deferred operations:

6
   * a protected action;

7
   * waiting for an entry call to complete (after having initiated the
     attempt to cancel it -- see below);

8
   * waiting for the termination of dependent tasks;

9
   * the execution of an Initialize procedure as the last step of the
     default initialization of a controlled object;

10
   * the execution of a Finalize procedure as part of the finalization
     of a controlled object;

11
   * an assignment operation to an object with a controlled part.

12
[The last three of these are discussed further in *note 7.6::.]

12.a
          Reason: Deferring abort during Initialize and finalization
          allows, for example, the result of an allocator performed in
          an Initialize operation to be assigned into an access object
          without being interrupted in the middle, which would cause
          storage leaks.  For an object with several controlled parts,
          each individual Initialize is abort-deferred.  Note that there
          is generally no semantic difference between making each
          Finalize abort-deferred, versus making a group of them
          abort-deferred, because if the task gets aborted, the first
          thing it will do is complete any remaining finalizations.
          Individual objects are finalized prior to an assignment
          operation (if nonlimited controlled) and as part of
          Unchecked_Deallocation.

12.b
          Ramification: Abort is deferred during the entire assignment
          operation to an object with a controlled part, even if only
          some subcomponents are controlled.  Note that this says
          "assignment operation," not "assignment_statement."  Explicit
          calls to Initialize, Finalize, or Adjust are not
          abort-deferred.

13
When a master is aborted, all tasks that depend on that master are
aborted.

14
The order in which tasks become abnormal as the result of an
abort_statement or the abort of a sequence_of_statements (*note 5.1:
S0145.) is not specified by the language.

15
If the execution of an entry call is aborted, an immediate attempt is
made to cancel the entry call (see *note 9.5.3::).  If the execution of
a construct is aborted at a time when the execution is blocked, other
than for an entry call, at a point that is outside the execution of an
abort-deferred operation, then the execution of the construct completes
immediately.  For an abort due to an abort_statement, these immediate
effects occur before the execution of the abort_statement completes.
Other than for these immediate cases, the execution of a construct that
is aborted does not necessarily complete before the abort_statement
completes.  However, the execution of the aborted construct completes no
later than its next <abort completion point> (if any) that occurs
outside of an abort-deferred operation; the following are abort
completion points for an execution:

16
   * the point where the execution initiates the activation of another
     task;

17
   * the end of the activation of a task;

18
   * the start or end of the execution of an entry call,
     accept_statement, delay_statement, or abort_statement;

18.a
          Ramification: Although the abort completion point doesn't
          occur until the end of the entry call or delay_statement,
          these operations might be cut short because an abort attempts
          to cancel them.

19
   * the start of the execution of a select_statement, or of the
     sequence_of_statements (*note 5.1: S0145.) of an exception_handler.

19.a
          Reason: The start of an exception_handler is considered an
          abort completion point simply because it is easy for an
          implementation to check at such points.

19.b
          Implementation Note: Implementations may of course check for
          abort more often than at each abort completion point; ideally,
          a fully preemptive implementation of abort will be provided.
          If preemptive abort is not supported in a given environment,
          then supporting the checking for abort as part of subprogram
          calls and loop iterations might be a useful option.

                      _Bounded (Run-Time) Errors_

20/3
{<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} An attempt to execute an asynchronous_select
as part of the execution of an abort-deferred operation is a bounded
error.  Similarly, an attempt to create a task that depends on a master
that is included entirely within the execution of an abort-deferred
operation is a bounded error.  In both cases, Program_Error is raised if
the error is detected by the implementation; otherwise, the operations
proceed as they would outside an abort-deferred operation, except that
an abort of the abortable_part or the created task might or might not
have an effect.

20.a
          Reason: An asynchronous_select relies on an abort of the
          abortable_part to effect the asynchronous transfer of control.
          For an asynchronous_select within an abort-deferred operation,
          the abort might have no effect.

20.b
          Creating a task dependent on a master included within an
          abort-deferred operation is considered an error, because such
          tasks could be aborted while the abort-deferred operation was
          still progressing, undermining the purpose of abort-deferral.
          Alternatively, we could say that such tasks are abort-deferred
          for their entire execution, but that seems too easy to abuse.
          Note that task creation is already a bounded error in
          protected actions, so this additional rule only applies to
          local task creation as part of Initialize, Finalize, or
          Adjust.

                         _Erroneous Execution_

21
If an assignment operation completes prematurely due to an abort, the
assignment is said to be <disrupted>; the target of the assignment or
its parts can become abnormal, and certain subsequent uses of the object
can be erroneous, as explained in *note 13.9.1::.

     NOTES

22
     42  An abort_statement should be used only in situations requiring
     unconditional termination.

23
     43  A task is allowed to abort any task it can name, including
     itself.

24
     44  Additional requirements associated with abort are given in
     *note D.6::, "*note D.6:: Preemptive Abort".

9.9 Task and Entry Attributes
=============================

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

1
For a prefix T that is of a task type [(after any implicit
dereference)], the following attributes are defined:

2
T'Callable
               Yields the value True when the task denoted by T is
               <callable>, and False otherwise; a task is callable
               unless it is completed or abnormal.  The value of this
               attribute is of the predefined type Boolean.

3
T'Terminated
               Yields the value True if the task denoted by T is
               terminated, and False otherwise.  The value of this
               attribute is of the predefined type Boolean.

4
For a prefix E that denotes an entry of a task or protected unit, the
following attribute is defined.  This attribute is only allowed within
the body of the task or protected unit, but excluding, in the case of an
entry of a task unit, within any program unit that is, itself, inner to
the body of the task unit.

5
E'Count
               Yields the number of calls presently queued on the entry
               E of the current instance of the unit.  The value of this
               attribute is of the type <universal_integer>.

     NOTES

6
     45  For the Count attribute, the entry can be either a single entry
     or an entry of a family.  The name of the entry or entry family can
     be either a direct_name or an expanded name.

7
     46  Within task units, algorithms interrogating the attribute
     E'Count should take precautions to allow for the increase of the
     value of this attribute for incoming entry calls, and its decrease,
     for example with timed_entry_calls.  Also, a conditional_entry_call
     may briefly increase this value, even if the conditional call is
     not accepted.

8
     47  Within protected units, algorithms interrogating the attribute
     E'Count in the entry_barrier for the entry E should take
     precautions to allow for the evaluation of the condition of the
     barrier both before and after queuing a given caller.

{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} {<AI05-0295-1AI05-0295-1>} If two different
objects, including nonoverlapping parts of the same object, are
<independently addressable>, they can be manipulated concurrently by two
different tasks without synchronization.  Any two nonoverlapping objects
are independently addressable if either object is specified as
independently addressable (see *note C.6::).  Otherwise, two
nonoverlapping objects are independently addressable except when they
are both parts of a composite object for which a nonconfirming value is
specified for any of the following representation aspects: (record)
Layout, Component_Size, Pack, Atomic, or Convention; in this case it is
unspecified whether the parts are independently addressable.

          <This paragraph was deleted.>

1.b/3
          Implementation Note: {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} Independent
          addressability is the only high level semantic effect of
          aspect Pack.  If two objects are independently addressable,
          the implementation should allocate them in such a way that
          each can be written by the hardware without writing the other.
          For example, unless the user asks for it, it is generally not
          feasible to choose a bit-packed representation on a machine
          without an atomic bit field insertion instruction, because
          there might be tasks that update neighboring subcomponents
          concurrently, and locking operations on all subcomponents is
          generally not a good idea.

1.c/3
          {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} Even if Pack or one of the other
          above-mentioned aspects is specified, subcomponents should
          still be updated independently if the hardware efficiently
          supports it.

          Ramification: {<AI05-0009-1AI05-0009-1>}
          {<AI05-0201-1AI05-0201-1>} {<AI12-0001-1AI12-0001-1>} An
          atomic object (including atomic components) is always
          independently addressable from any other nonoverlapping
          object.  Aspect_specifications and representation items cannot
          change that fact.  Note, however, that the components of an
          atomic object are not necessarily atomic.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

2
[Separate tasks normally proceed independently and concurrently with one
another.  However, task interactions can be used to synchronize the
actions of two or more tasks to allow, for example, meaningful
communication by the direct updating and reading of variables shared
between the tasks.]  The actions of two different tasks are synchronized
in this sense when an action of one task <signals> an action of the
other task; an action A1 is defined to signal an action A2 under the
following circumstances:

3
   * If A1 and A2 are part of the execution of the same task, and the
     language rules require A1 to be performed before A2;

4
   * If A1 is the action of an activator that initiates the activation
     of a task, and A2 is part of the execution of the task that is
     activated;

5
   * If A1 is part of the activation of a task, and A2 is the action of
     waiting for completion of the activation;

6
   * If A1 is part of the execution of a task, and A2 is the action of
     waiting for the termination of the task;

6.1/3
   * {<8652/00318652/0031>} {<AI95-00118-01AI95-00118-01>}
     {<AI05-0072-1AI05-0072-1>} If A1 is the termination of a task T,
     and A2 is either an evaluation of the expression T'Terminated that
     results in True, or a call to Ada.Task_Identification.Is_Terminated
     with an actual parameter that identifies T and a result of True
     (see *note C.7.1::);

7/3
   * {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} If A1 is the action of issuing an entry
     call, and A2 is part of the corresponding execution of the
     appropriate entry_body or accept_statement;

7.a
          Ramification: Evaluating the entry_index of an
          accept_statement is not synchronized with a corresponding
          entry call, nor is evaluating the entry barrier of an
          entry_body.

8
   * If A1 is part of the execution of an accept_statement or
     entry_body, and A2 is the action of returning from the
     corresponding entry call;

9
   * If A1 is part of the execution of a protected procedure body or
     entry_body for a given protected object, and A2 is part of a later
     execution of an entry_body for the same protected object;

9.a
          Reason: The underlying principle here is that for one action
          to "signal" a second, the second action has to follow a
          potentially blocking operation, whose blocking is dependent on
          the first action in some way.  Protected procedures are not
          potentially blocking, so they can only be "signalers," they
          cannot be signaled.

9.b
          Ramification: Protected subprogram calls are not defined to
          signal one another, which means that such calls alone cannot
          be used to synchronize access to shared data outside of a
          protected object.

9.c
          Reason: The point of this distinction is so that on
          multiprocessors with inconsistent caches, the caches only need
          to be refreshed at the beginning of an entry body, and forced
          out at the end of an entry body or protected procedure that
          leaves an entry open.  Protected function calls, and protected
          subprogram calls for entryless protected objects do not
          require full cache consistency.  Entryless protected objects
          are intended to be treated roughly like atomic objects -- each
          operation is indivisible with respect to other operations
          (unless both are reads), but such operations cannot be used to
          synchronize access to other nonvolatile shared variables.

10
   * If A1 signals some action that in turn signals A2.

                         _Erroneous Execution_

11
Given an action of assigning to an object, and an action of reading or
updating a part of the same object (or of a neighboring object if the
two are not independently addressable), then the execution of the
actions is erroneous unless the actions are <sequential>.  Two actions
are sequential if one of the following is true:

12
   * One action signals the other;

13
   * Both actions occur as part of the execution of the same task;

13.a
          Reason: Any two actions of the same task are sequential, even
          if one does not signal the other because they can be executed
          in an "arbitrary" (but necessarily equivalent to some
          "sequential") order.

14
   * Both actions occur as part of protected actions on the same
     protected object, and at most one of the actions is part of a call
     on a protected function of the protected object.

14.a
          Reason: Because actions within protected actions do not always
          imply signaling, we have to mention them here explicitly to
          make sure that actions occurring within different protected
          actions of the same protected object are sequential with
          respect to one another (unless both are part of calls on
          protected functions).

14.b
          Ramification: It doesn't matter whether or not the variable
          being assigned is actually a subcomponent of the protected
          object; globals can be safely updated from within the bodies
          of protected procedures or entries.

15/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} Aspect Atomic or aspect Atomic_Components may
also be specified to ensure that certain reads and updates are
sequential -- see *note C.6::.

15.a
          Ramification: If two actions are "sequential" it is known that
          their executions don't overlap in time, but it is not
          necessarily specified which occurs first.  For example, all
          actions of a single task are sequential, even though the exact
          order of execution is not fully specified for all constructs.

15.b
          Discussion: Note that if two assignments to the same variable
          are sequential, but neither signals the other, then the
          program is not erroneous, but it is not specified which
          assignment ultimately prevails.  Such a situation usually
          corresponds to a programming mistake, but in some (rare)
          cases, the order makes no difference, and for this reason this
          situation is not considered erroneous nor even a bounded
          error.  In Ada 83, this was considered an "incorrect order
          dependence" if the "effect" of the program was affected, but
          "effect" was never fully defined.  In Ada 95, this situation
          represents a potential nonportability, and a friendly compiler
          might want to warn the programmer about the situation, but it
          is not considered an error.  An example where this would come
          up would be in gathering statistics as part of referencing
          some information, where the assignments associated with
          statistics gathering don't need to be ordered since they are
          just accumulating aggregate counts, sums, products, etc.

10 Program Structure and Compilation Issues
*******************************************

1/3
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} [The overall structure of programs and the
facilities for separate compilation are described in this clause.  A
<program> is a set of <partitions>, each of which may execute in a
separate address space, possibly on a separate computer.

1.a
          Glossary entry: A <program> is a set of <partitions>, each of
          which may execute in a separate address space, possibly on a
          separate computer.  A partition consists of a set of library
          units.

1.b
          Glossary entry: A <partition> is a part of a program.  Each
          partition consists of a set of library units.  Each partition
          may run in a separate address space, possibly on a separate
          computer.  A program may contain just one partition.  A
          distributed program typically contains multiple partitions,
          which can execute concurrently.

2
As explained below, a partition is constructed from <library units>.
Syntactically, the declaration of a library unit is a library_item, as
is the body of a library unit.  An implementation may support a concept
of a <program library> (or simply, a "library"), which contains
library_items and their subunits.  Library units may be organized into a
hierarchy of children, grandchildren, and so on.]

3/3
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} This clause has two subclauses: *note 10.1::,
"*note 10.1:: Separate Compilation" discusses compile-time issues
related to separate compilation.  *note 10.2::, "*note 10.2:: Program
Execution" discusses issues related to what is traditionally known as
"link time" and "run time" -- building and executing partitions.

                     _Language Design Principles_

3.a
          We should avoid specifying details that are outside the domain
          of the language itself.  The standard is intended (at least in
          part) to promote portability of Ada programs at the source
          level.  It is not intended to standardize extra-language
          issues such as how one invokes the compiler (or other tools),
          how one's source is represented and organized, version
          management, the format of error messages, etc.

3.b
          The rules of the language should be enforced even in the
          presence of separate compilation.  Using separate compilation
          should not make a program less safe.

3.c
          It should be possible to determine the legality of a
          compilation unit by looking only at the compilation unit
          itself and the compilation units upon which it depends
          semantically.  As an example, it should be possible to analyze
          the legality of two compilation units in parallel if they do
          not depend semantically upon each other.

3.d
          On the other hand, it may be necessary to look outside that
          set in order to generate code -- this is generally true for
          generic instantiation and inlining, for example.  Also on the
          other hand, it is generally necessary to look outside that set
          in order to check Post-Compilation Rules.

3.e
          See also the "generic contract model" Language Design
          Principle of *note 12.3::, "*note 12.3:: Generic
          Instantiation".

10.1 Separate Compilation
=========================

1
[ A <program unit> is either a package, a task unit, a protected unit, a
protected entry, a generic unit, or an explicitly declared subprogram
other than an enumeration literal.  Certain kinds of program units can
be separately compiled.  Alternatively, they can appear physically
nested within other program units.

2
The text of a program can be submitted to the compiler in one or more
compilations.  Each compilation is a succession of compilation_units.  A
compilation_unit contains either the declaration, the body, or a
renaming of a program unit.]  The representation for a compilation is
implementation-defined.

2.a
          Implementation defined: The representation for a compilation.

2.b
          Ramification: Some implementations might choose to make a
          compilation be a source (text) file.  Others might allow
          multiple source files to be automatically concatenated to form
          a single compilation.  Others still may represent the source
          in a nontextual form such as a parse tree.  Note that the RM95
          does not even define the concept of a source file.

2.c
          Note that a protected subprogram is a subprogram, and
          therefore a program unit.  An instance of a generic unit is a
          program unit.

2.d
          A protected entry is a program unit, but protected entries
          cannot be separately compiled.

3
A library unit is a separately compiled program unit, and is always a
package, subprogram, or generic unit.  Library units may have other
(logically nested) library units as children, and may have other program
units physically nested within them.  A root library unit, together with
its children and grandchildren and so on, form a <subsystem>.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

4
An implementation may impose implementation-defined restrictions on
compilations that contain multiple compilation_units.

4.a
          Implementation defined: Any restrictions on compilations that
          contain multiple compilation_units.

4.b
          Discussion: For example, an implementation might disallow a
          compilation that contains two versions of the same compilation
          unit, or that contains the declarations for library packages
          P1 and P2, where P1 precedes P2 in the compilation but P1 has
          a with_clause that mentions P2.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

4.c
          The interactions between language issues and environmental
          issues are left open in Ada 95.  The environment concept is
          new.  In Ada 83, the concept of the program library, for
          example, appeared to be quite concrete, although the rules had
          no force, since implementations could get around them simply
          by defining various mappings from the concept of an Ada
          program library to whatever data structures were actually
          stored in support of separate compilation.  Indeed,
          implementations were encouraged to do so.

4.d
          In RM83, it was unclear which was the official definition of
          "program unit."  Definitions appeared in RM83-5, 6, 7, and 9,
          but not 12.  Placing it here seems logical, since a program
          unit is sort of a potential compilation unit.

10.1.1 Compilation Units - Library Units
----------------------------------------

1
[A library_item is a compilation unit that is the declaration, body, or
renaming of a library unit.  Each library unit (except Standard) has a
<parent unit>, which is a library package or generic library package.]
A library unit is a <child> of its parent unit.  The <root> library
units are the children of the predefined library package Standard.

1.a
          Ramification: Standard is a library unit.

                               _Syntax_

2
     compilation ::= {compilation_unit}

3
     compilation_unit ::=
         context_clause library_item
       | context_clause subunit

4
     library_item ::= [private] library_unit_declaration
       | library_unit_body
       | [private] library_unit_renaming_declaration

5
     library_unit_declaration ::=
          subprogram_declaration   | package_declaration
        | generic_declaration   | generic_instantiation

6
     library_unit_renaming_declaration ::=
        package_renaming_declaration
      | generic_renaming_declaration
      | subprogram_renaming_declaration

7
     library_unit_body ::= subprogram_body | package_body

8
     parent_unit_name ::= name

8.1/2
     {<AI95-00397-01AI95-00397-01>} An overriding_indicator is not
     allowed in a subprogram_declaration, generic_instantiation, or
     subprogram_renaming_declaration that declares a library unit.

8.a.1/2
          Reason: All of the listed items syntactically include
          overriding_indicator, but a library unit can never override
          anything.  A majority of the ARG thought that allowing not
          overriding in that case would be confusing instead of helpful.

9
A <library unit> is a program unit that is declared by a library_item.
When a program unit is a library unit, the prefix "library" is used to
refer to it (or "generic library" if generic), as well as to its
declaration and body, as in "library procedure", "library package_body",
or "generic library package".  The term <compilation unit> is used to
refer to a compilation_unit.  When the meaning is clear from context,
the term is also used to refer to the library_item of a compilation_unit
or to the proper_body of a subunit [(that is, the compilation_unit
without the context_clause and the separate (parent_unit_name))].

9.a
          Discussion: In this example:

9.b
               with Ada.Text_IO;
               package P is
                   ...
               end P;

9.c
          the term "compilation unit" can refer to this text: "with
          Ada.Text_IO; package P is ...  end P;" or to this text:
          "package P is ...  end P;".  We use this shorthand because it
          corresponds to common usage.

9.d
          We like to use the word "unit" for declaration-plus-body
          things, and "item" for declaration or body separately (as in
          declarative_item).  The terms "compilation_unit," "compilation
          unit," and "subunit" are exceptions to this rule.  We
          considered changing "compilation_unit," "compilation unit" to
          "compilation_item," "compilation item," respectively, but we
          decided not to.

10
The <parent declaration> of a library_item (and of the library unit) is
the declaration denoted by the parent_unit_name (*note 10.1.1: S0252.),
if any, of the defining_program_unit_name (*note 6.1: S0169.) of the
library_item.  If there is no parent_unit_name (*note 10.1.1: S0252.),
the parent declaration is the declaration of Standard, the library_item
is a <root> library_item, and the library unit (renaming) is a <root>
library unit (renaming).  The declaration and body of Standard itself
have no parent declaration.  The <parent unit> of a library_item or
library unit is the library unit declared by its parent declaration.

10.a
          Discussion: The declaration and body of Standard are presumed
          to exist from the beginning of time, as it were.  There is no
          way to actually write them, since there is no syntactic way to
          indicate lack of a parent.  An attempt to compile a package
          Standard would result in Standard.Standard.

10.b
          Reason: Library units (other than Standard) have "parent
          declarations" and "parent units".  Subunits have "parent
          bodies".  We didn't bother to define the other possibilities:
          parent body of a library unit, parent declaration of a
          subunit, parent unit of a subunit.  These are not needed, and
          might get in the way of a correct definition of "child."

11
[The children of a library unit occur immediately within the declarative
region of the declaration of the library unit.]  The <ancestors> of a
library unit are itself, its parent, its parent's parent, and so on.
[(Standard is an ancestor of every library unit.)]  The <descendant>
relation is the inverse of the ancestor relation.

11.a
          Reason: These definitions are worded carefully to avoid
          defining subunits as children.  Only library units can be
          children.

11.b
          We use the unadorned term "ancestors" here to concisely define
          both "ancestor unit" and "ancestor declaration."

12
A library_unit_declaration or a library_unit_renaming_declaration (*note
10.1.1: S0250.) is <private> if the declaration is immediately preceded
by the reserved word private; it is otherwise <public>.  A library unit
is private or public according to its declaration.  The <public
descendants> of a library unit are the library unit itself, and the
public descendants of its public children.  Its other descendants are
<private descendants>.

12.a
          Discussion: The first concept defined here is that a
          library_item is either public or private (not in relation to
          anything else -- it's just a property of the library unit).
          The second concept is that a library_item is a public
          descendant or private descendant <of a given ancestor>.  A
          given library_item can be a public descendant of one of its
          ancestors, but a private descendant of some other ancestor.

12.b
          A subprogram declared by a subprogram_body (as opposed to a
          subprogram_declaration) is always public, since the syntax
          rules disallow the reserved word private on a body.

12.c
          Note that a private library unit is a <public> descendant of
          itself, but a <private> descendant of its parent.  This is
          because it is visible outside itself -- its privateness means
          that it is not visible outside its parent.

12.d
          Private children of Standard are legal, and follow the normal
          rules.  It is intended that implementations might have some
          method for taking an existing environment, and treating it as
          a package to be "imported" into another environment, treating
          children of Standard in the imported environment as children
          of the imported package.

12.e
          Ramification: Suppose we have a public library unit A, a
          private library unit A.B, and a public library unit A.B.C.
          A.B.C is a public descendant of itself and of A.B, but a
          private descendant of A; since A.B is private to A, we don't
          allow A.B.C to escape outside A either.  This is similar to
          the situation that would occur with physical nesting, like
          this:

12.f
               package A is
               private
                   package B is
                       package C is
                       end C;
                   private
                   end B;
               end A;

12.g
          Here, A.B.C is visible outside itself and outside A.B, but not
          outside A. (Note that this example is intended to illustrate
          the visibility of program units from the outside; the
          visibility within child units is not quite identical to that
          of physically nested units, since child units are nested after
          their parent's declaration.)

12.1/2
{<AI95-00217-06AI95-00217-06>} For each library package_declaration in
the environment, there is an implicit declaration of a <limited view> of
that library package.  The limited view of a package contains:

     {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} For each package_declaration occurring
     immediately within the visible part, a declaration of the limited
     view of that package, with the same defining_program_unit_name.

     {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} For each type_declaration occurring
     immediately within the visible part that is not an
     incomplete_type_declaration, an incomplete view of the type with no
     discriminant_part; if the type_declaration is tagged, then the view
     is a tagged incomplete view.

12.g.1/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0108-1AI05-0108-1>} The incomplete view of a
          type does not have a discriminant_part even if the
          type_declaration does have one.  This is necessary because
          semantic analysis (and the associated dependence on
          with_clauses) would be necessary to determine the types of the
          discriminants.

12.g.2/3
          {<AI05-0129-1AI05-0129-1>} No incomplete views of incomplete
          types are included in the limited view.  The rules of *note
          3.10.1:: ensure that the completion of any visible incomplete
          type is declared in the same visible part, so such an
          incomplete view would simply be redundant.

12.g.3/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00217-06AI95-00217-06>} The implementation
          model of a limited view is that it can be determined solely
          from the syntax of the source of the unit, without any
          semantic analysis.  That allows it to be created without the
          semantic dependences of a full unit, which is necessary for it
          to break mutual dependences of units.

12.g.4/2
          Ramification: The limited view does not include package
          instances and their contents.  Semantic analysis of a unit
          (and dependence on its with_clauses) would be needed to
          determine the contents of an instance.

12.4/2
The limited view of a library package_declaration is private if that
library package_declaration is immediately preceded by the reserved word
private.

12.5/2
[There is no syntax for declaring limited views of packages, because
they are always implicit.]  The implicit declaration of a limited view
of a library package [is not the declaration of a library unit (the
library package_declaration is); nonetheless, it] is a library_item.
The implicit declaration of the limited view of a library package forms
an (implicit) compilation unit whose context_clause is empty.

12.6/2
A library package_declaration is the completion of the declaration of
its limited view.

12.h/2
          To be honest: This is notwithstanding the rule in *note
          3.11.1:: that says that implicit declarations don't have
          completions.

12.i/2
          Reason: This rule explains where to find the completions of
          the incomplete views defined by the limited view.

                           _Legality Rules_

13
The parent unit of a library_item shall be a [library] package or
generic [library] package.

14
If a defining_program_unit_name of a given declaration or body has a
parent_unit_name, then the given declaration or body shall be a
library_item.  The body of a program unit shall be a library_item if and
only if the declaration of the program unit is a library_item.  In a
library_unit_renaming_declaration (*note 10.1.1: S0250.), the [(old)]
name shall denote a library_item.

14.a
          Discussion: We could have allowed nested program units to be
          children of other program units; their semantics would make
          sense.  We disallow them to keep things simpler and because
          they wouldn't be particularly useful.

15/2
{<AI95-00217-06AI95-00217-06>} A parent_unit_name [(which can be used
within a defining_program_unit_name of a library_item and in the
separate clause of a subunit)], and each of its prefixes, shall not
denote a renaming_declaration.  [On the other hand, a name that denotes
a library_unit_renaming_declaration (*note 10.1.1: S0250.) is allowed in
a nonlimited_with_clause and other places where the name of a library
unit is allowed.]

16
If a library package is an instance of a generic package, then every
child of the library package shall either be itself an instance or be a
renaming of a library unit.

16.a
          Discussion: A child of an instance of a given generic unit
          will often be an instance of a (generic) child of the given
          generic unit.  This is not required, however.

16.b
          Reason: Instances are forbidden from having noninstance
          children for two reasons:

16.c
               1.  We want all source code that can depend on
               information from the private part of a library unit to be
               inside the "subsystem" rooted at the library unit.  If an
               instance of a generic unit were allowed to have a
               noninstance as a child, the source code of that child
               might depend on information from the private part of the
               generic unit, even though it is outside the subsystem
               rooted at the generic unit.

16.d
               2.  Disallowing noninstance children simplifies the
               description of the semantics of children of generic
               packages.

17/3
{<AI05-0004-1AI05-0004-1>} A child of a generic library package shall
either be itself a generic unit or be a renaming of some other child of
the same generic unit.

18
A child of a parent generic package shall be instantiated or renamed
only within the declarative region of the parent generic.

19/2
{<AI95-00331-01AI95-00331-01>} For each child <C> of some parent generic
package <P>, there is a corresponding declaration <C> nested immediately
within each instance of <P>.  For the purposes of this rule, if a child
<C> itself has a child <D>, each corresponding declaration for <C> has a
corresponding child <D>.  [The corresponding declaration for a child
within an instance is visible only within the scope of a with_clause
that mentions the (original) child generic unit.]

19.a
          Implementation Note: Within the child, like anything nested in
          a generic unit, one can make up-level references to the
          current instance of its parent, and thereby gain access to the
          formal parameters of the parent, to the types declared in the
          parent, etc.  This "nesting" model applies even within the
          generic_formal_part of the child, as it does for a generic
          child of a nongeneric unit.

19.b
          Ramification: Suppose P is a generic library package, and P.C
          is a generic child of P. P.C can be instantiated inside the
          declarative region of P. Outside P, P.C can be mentioned only
          in a with_clause.  Conceptually, an instance I of P is a
          package that has a nested generic unit called I.C. Mentioning
          P.C in a with_clause allows I.C to be instantiated.  I need
          not be a library unit, and the instantiation of I.C need not
          be a library unit.  If I is a library unit, and an instance of
          I.C is a child of I, then this instance has to be called
          something other than C.

20
A library subprogram shall not override a primitive subprogram.

20.a
          Reason: This prevents certain obscure anomalies.  For example,
          if a library subprogram were to override a subprogram declared
          in its parent package, then in a compilation unit that depends
          <in>directly on the library subprogram, the library subprogram
          could hide the overridden operation from all visibility, but
          the library subprogram itself would not be visible.

20.b
          Note that even without this rule, such subprograms would be
          illegal for tagged types, because of the freezing rules.

21
The defining name of a function that is a compilation unit shall not be
an operator_symbol.

21.a
          Reason: Since overloading is not permitted among compilation
          units, it seems unlikely that it would be useful to define one
          as an operator.  Note that a subunit could be renamed within
          its parent to be an operator.

                          _Static Semantics_

22
A subprogram_renaming_declaration that is a
library_unit_renaming_declaration (*note 10.1.1: S0250.) is a
renaming-as-declaration, not a renaming-as-body.

23
[There are two kinds of dependences among compilation units:]

24
   * [The <semantic dependences> (see below) are the ones needed to
     check the compile-time rules across compilation unit boundaries; a
     compilation unit depends semantically on the other compilation
     units needed to determine its legality.  The visibility rules are
     based on the semantic dependences.

25
   * The <elaboration dependences> (see *note 10.2::) determine the
     order of elaboration of library_items.]

25.a
          Discussion: Don't confuse these kinds of dependences with the
          run-time dependences among tasks and masters defined in *note
          9.3::, "*note 9.3:: Task Dependence - Termination of Tasks".

26/2
{<AI95-00217-06AI95-00217-06>} A library_item depends semantically upon
its parent declaration.  A subunit depends semantically upon its parent
body.  A library_unit_body depends semantically upon the corresponding
library_unit_declaration, if any.  The declaration of the limited view
of a library package depends semantically upon the declaration of the
limited view of its parent.  The declaration of a library package
depends semantically upon the declaration of its limited view.  A
compilation unit depends semantically upon each library_item mentioned
in a with_clause of the compilation unit.  In addition, if a given
compilation unit contains an attribute_reference of a type defined in
another compilation unit, then the given compilation unit depends
semantically upon the other compilation unit.  The semantic dependence
relationship is transitive.

26.a
          Discussion: The "if any" in the third sentence is necessary
          because library subprograms are not required to have a
          subprogram_declaration.

26.b
          To be honest: If a given compilation unit contains a
          choice_parameter_specification, then the given compilation
          unit depends semantically upon the declaration of
          Ada.Exceptions.

26.c
          If a given compilation unit contains a pragma with an argument
          of a type defined in another compilation unit, then the given
          compilation unit depends semantically upon the other
          compilation unit.

26.d
          Discussion: For example, a compilation unit containing
          X'Address depends semantically upon the declaration of package
          System.

26.e
          For the Address attribute, this fixes a hole in Ada 83.  Note
          that in almost all cases, the dependence will need to exist
          due to with_clauses, even without this rule.  Hence, the rule
          has very little effect on programmers.

26.f
          Note that the semantic dependence does not have the same
          effect as a with_clause; in order to denote a declaration in
          one of those packages, a with_clause will generally be needed.

26.g
          Note that no special rule is needed for an
          attribute_definition_clause, since an expression after use
          will require semantic dependence upon the compilation unit
          containing the type_declaration of interest.

26.h/2
          {<AI95-00217-06AI95-00217-06>} Unlike a full view of a
          package, a limited view does not depend semantically on units
          mentioned in with_clauses of the compilation_unit that defines
          the package.  Formally, this is achieved by saying that the
          limited view has an empty context_clause.  This is necessary
          so that they can be useful for their intended purpose:
          allowing mutual dependences between packages.  The lack of
          semantic dependence limits the contents of a limited view to
          the items that can be determined solely from the syntax of the
          source of the package, without any semantic analysis.  That
          allows it to be created without the semantic dependences of a
          full package.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

26.1/2
{<AI95-00217-06AI95-00217-06>} The elaboration of the declaration of the
limited view of a package has no effect.

     NOTES

27
     1  A simple program may consist of a single compilation unit.  A
     compilation need not have any compilation units; for example, its
     text can consist of pragmas.

27.a
          Ramification: Such pragmas cannot have any arguments that are
          names, by a previous rule of this subclause.  A compilation
          can even be entirely empty, which is probably not useful.

27.b
          Some interesting properties of the three kinds of dependence:
          The elaboration dependences also include the semantic
          dependences, except that subunits are taken together with
          their parents.  The semantic dependences partly determine the
          order in which the compilation units appear in the environment
          at compile time.  At run time, the order is partly determined
          by the elaboration dependences.

27.c
          The model whereby a child is inside its parent's declarative
          region, after the parent's declaration, as explained in *note
          8.1::, has the following ramifications:

27.d
             * The restrictions on "early" use of a private type
               (RM83-7.4.1(4)) or a deferred constant (RM83-7.4.3(2)) do
               not apply to uses in child units, because they follow the
               full declaration.

27.e
             * A library subprogram is never primitive, even if its
               profile includes a type declared immediately within the
               parent's package_specification, because the child is not
               declared immediately within the same
               package_specification as the type (so it doesn't declare
               a new primitive subprogram), and because the child is
               forbidden from overriding an old primitive subprogram.
               It is immediately within the same declarative region, but
               not the same package_specification.  Thus, for a tagged
               type, it is not possible to call a child subprogram in a
               dispatching manner.  (This is also forbidden by the
               freezing rules.)  Similarly, it is not possible for the
               user to declare primitive subprograms of the types
               declared in the declaration of Standard, such as Integer
               (even if the rules were changed to allow a library unit
               whose name is an operator symbol).

27.f
             * When the parent unit is "used" the simple names of the
               with'd child units are directly visible (see *note 8.4::,
               "*note 8.4:: Use Clauses").

27.g
             * When a parent body with's its own child, the defining
               name of the child is directly visible, and the parent
               body is not allowed to include a declaration of a
               homograph of the child unit immediately within the
               declarative_part of the body (RM83-8.3(17)).

27.h
          Note that "declaration of a library unit" is different from
          "library_unit_declaration" -- the former includes
          subprogram_body.  Also, we sometimes really mean "declaration
          of a view of a library unit", which includes
          library_unit_renaming_declaration (*note 10.1.1: S0250.)s.

27.i
          The visibility rules generally imply that the renamed view of
          a library_unit_renaming_declaration (*note 10.1.1: S0250.) has
          to be mentioned in a with_clause (*note 10.1.2: S0255.) of the
          library_unit_renaming_declaration (*note 10.1.1: S0250.).

27.j
          To be honest: The real rule is that the renamed library unit
          has to be visible in the library_unit_renaming_declaration
          (*note 10.1.1: S0250.).

27.k
          Reason: In most cases, "has to be visible" means there has to
          be a with_clause.  However, it is possible in obscure cases to
          avoid the need for a with_clause; in particular, a compilation
          unit such as "package P.Q renames P;" is legal with no
          with_clauses (though not particularly interesting).  ASCII is
          physically nested in Standard, and so is not a library unit,
          and cannot be renamed as a library unit.

28
     2  The designator of a library function cannot be an
     operator_symbol, but a nonlibrary renaming_declaration is allowed
     to rename a library function as an operator.  Within a partition,
     two library subprograms are required to have distinct names and
     hence cannot overload each other.  However, renaming_declarations
     are allowed to define overloaded names for such subprograms, and a
     locally declared subprogram is allowed to overload a library
     subprogram.  The expanded name Standard.L can be used to denote a
     root library unit L (unless the declaration of Standard is hidden)
     since root library unit declarations occur immediately within the
     declarative region of package Standard.

                  procedure Add(B : in out Bag; E : Element);
                  function Bag_Image(B : Bag) return String;

                  type Bag is ...;
               end Generic_Bags;

35.c

                  procedure Iterate(B : in Bag);
               end Generic_Bags.Generic_Iterators;

35.e
          A package that instantiates the above generic units:

35.f
               with Generic_Bags;
               with Generic_Bags.Generic_Iterators;
               package My_Abstraction is
                   type My_Type is ...;
                   function Image(X : My_Type) return String;
                   package Bags_Of_My_Type is new Generic_Bags(My_Type, Image);
                   package Iterators_Of_Bags_Of_My_Type is new Bags_Of_My_Type.Generic_Iterators;
               end My_Abstraction;

35.g
          In the above example, Bags_Of_My_Type has a nested generic
          unit called Generic_Iterators.  The second with_clause makes
          that nested unit visible.

          Here we show how the generic body could depend on one of its

                           Last := Last + 1;
                           Buffer(Last) := ',';
                        end if;
                        Buffer(Last+1 .. Last+Im'Length) := Im;

35.q
          Standard is considered a library unit in Ada 95.  This
          simplifies the descriptions, since it implies that the parent
          of each library unit is a library unit.  (Standard itself has
          no parent, of course.)  As in Ada 83, the language does not
          define any way to recompile Standard, since the name given in
          the declaration of a library unit is always interpreted in
          relation to Standard.  That is, an attempt to compile a
          package Standard would result in Standard.Standard.

                        _Extensions to Ada 95_

35.r/2
          {<AI95-00217-06AI95-00217-06>} The concept of a limited view
          is new.  Combined with limited_with_clauses (see *note
          10.1.2::), they facilitate construction of mutually recursive
          types in multiple packages.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

35.s/2
          {<AI95-00331-01AI95-00331-01>} Clarified the wording so that a
          grandchild generic unit will work as expected.

35.t/3
          {<AI05-0108-1AI05-0108-1>} {<AI05-0129-1AI05-0129-1>}
          Correction: Clarified the wording so that it is clear that
          limited views of types never have discriminants and never are
          of incomplete types.

10.1.2 Context Clauses - With Clauses
-------------------------------------

1
[A context_clause is used to specify the library_items whose names are
needed within a compilation unit.]

                     _Language Design Principles_

1.a
          The reader should be able to understand a context_clause
          without looking ahead.  Similarly, when compiling a
          context_clause, the compiler should not have to look ahead at
          subsequent context_items, nor at the compilation unit to which
          the context_clause is attached.  (We have not completely
          achieved this.)

1.b/2
          {<AI95-00217-06AI95-00217-06>} A <ripple effect> occurs when
          the legality of a compilation unit could be affected by adding
          or removing an otherwise unneeded with_clause on some
          compilation unit on which the unit depends, directly or
          indirectly.  We try to avoid ripple effects because they make
          understanding and maintenance more difficult.  However, ripple
          effects can occur because of direct visibility (as in child
          units); this seems impossible to eliminate.  The ripple effect
          for with_clauses is somewhat similar to the Beaujolais effect
          (see *note 8.4::) for use_clauses, which we also try to avoid.

                               _Syntax_

2
     context_clause ::= {context_item}

3
     context_item ::= with_clause | use_clause

4/2
     {<AI95-00217-06AI95-00217-06>} {<AI95-00262-01AI95-00262-01>}
     with_clause ::= limited_with_clause | nonlimited_with_clause

4.1/2
     limited_with_clause ::= limited [private] with <library_unit_>
     name {, <library_unit_>name};

4.2/2
     nonlimited_with_clause ::= [private] with <library_unit_>
     name {, <library_unit_>name};

4.a/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00217-06AI95-00217-06>} A
          limited_with_clause makes a limited view of a unit visible.

4.b/2
          {<AI95-00262-01AI95-00262-01>} A with_clause containing the
          reserved word private is called a <private with_clause>.  It
          can be thought of as making items visible only in the private
          part, although it really makes items visible everywhere except
          the visible part.  It can be used both for documentation
          purposes (to say that a unit is not used in the visible part),
          and to allow access to private units that otherwise would be
          prohibited.

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

5
The <scope> of a with_clause that appears on a library_unit_declaration
(*note 10.1.1: S0249.) or library_unit_renaming_declaration (*note
10.1.1: S0250.) consists of the entire declarative region of the
declaration[, which includes all children and subunits].  The scope of a
with_clause that appears on a body consists of the body[, which includes
all subunits].

5.a/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00262-01AI95-00262-01>} Suppose a
          nonprivate with_clause of a public library unit mentions one
          of its private siblings.  (This is only allowed on the body of
          the public library unit.)  We considered making the scope of
          that with_clause not include the visible part of the public
          library unit.  (This would only matter for a subprogram_body,
          since those are the only kinds of body that have a visible
          part, and only if the subprogram_body completes a
          subprogram_declaration, since otherwise the with_clause would
          be illegal.)  We did not put in such a rule for two reasons:
          (1) It would complicate the wording of the rules, because we
          would have to split each with_clause into pieces, in order to
          correctly handle "with P, Q;" where P is public and Q is
          private.  (2) The conformance rules prevent any problems.  It
          doesn't matter if a type name in the spec of the body denotes
          the completion of a private_type_declaration.

5.b
          A with_clause also affects visibility within subsequent
          use_clauses and pragmas of the same context_clause, even
          though those are not in the scope of the with_clause.

6/2
{<AI95-00217-06AI95-00217-06>} A library_item (and the corresponding
library unit) is <named> in a with_clause if it is denoted by a
<library_unit_>name in the with_clause.  A library_item (and the
corresponding library unit) is <mentioned> in a with_clause if it is
named in the with_clause or if it is denoted by a prefix in the
with_clause.

6.a/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} With_clauses control
          the visibility of declarations or renamings of library units.
          Mentioning a root library unit in a with_clause makes its
          declaration directly visible.  Mentioning a nonroot library
          unit makes its declaration visible.  See Clause *note 8:: for
          details.

6.b/2
          {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} Note that this rule implies
          that "with A.B.C;" is almost equivalent to "with A, A.B,
          A.B.C;".  The reason for making a with_clause apply to all the
          ancestor units is to avoid "visibility holes" -- situations in
          which an inner program unit is visible while an outer one is
          not.  Visibility holes would cause semantic complexity and
          implementation difficulty.  (This is not exactly equivalent
          because the latter with_clause names A and A.B, while the
          previous one does not.  Whether a unit is "named" does not
          have any effect on visibility, however, so it is equivalent
          for visibility purposes.)

7
[Outside its own declarative region, the declaration or renaming of a
library unit can be visible only within the scope of a with_clause that
mentions it.  The visibility of the declaration or renaming of a library
unit otherwise follows from its placement in the environment.]

                           _Legality Rules_

8/2
{<AI95-00262-01AI95-00262-01>} If a with_clause of a given
compilation_unit mentions a private child of some library unit, then the
given compilation_unit shall be one of:

9/2
   * {<AI95-00262-01AI95-00262-01>} the declaration, body, or subunit of
     a private descendant of that library unit;

10/2
   * {<AI95-00220-01AI95-00220-01>} {<AI95-00262-01AI95-00262-01>} the
     body or subunit of a public descendant of that library unit, but
     not a subprogram body acting as a subprogram declaration (see *note
     10.1.4::); or

11/2
   * {<AI95-00262-01AI95-00262-01>} the declaration of a public
     descendant of that library unit, in which case the with_clause
     shall include the reserved word private.

11.a/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00262-01AI95-00262-01>} The purpose of this
          rule is to prevent a private child from being visible from
          outside the subsystem rooted at its parent.  A private child
          can be semantically depended-on without violating this
          principle if it is used in a private with_clause.

11.b
          Discussion: This rule violates the one-pass context_clauses
          Language Design Principle.  We rationalize this by saying that
          at least that Language Design Principle works for legal
          compilation units.

11.c
          Example:

11.d
               package A is
               end A;

11.e
               package A.B is
               end A.B;

11.f
               private package A.B.C is
               end A.B.C;

11.g
               package A.B.C.D is
               end A.B.C.D;

11.h
               with A.B.C; -- <(1)>
               private package A.B.X is
               end A.B.X;

11.i
               package A.B.Y is
               end A.B.Y;

11.j
               with A.B.C; -- <(2)>
               package body A.B.Y is
               end A.B.Y;

11.j.1/2
               private with A.B.C; -- <(3)>
               package A.B.Z is
               end A.B.Z;

11.k/2
          {<AI95-00262-01AI95-00262-01>} (1) is OK because it's a
          private child of A.B -- it would be illegal if we made A.B.X a
          public child of A.B. (2) is OK because it's the body of a
          child of A.B. (3) is OK because it's a child of A.B, and it is
          a private with_clause.  It would be illegal to say "with
          A.B.C;" on any library_item whose name does not start with
          "A.B". Note that mentioning A.B.C.D in a with_clause
          automatically mentions A.B.C as well, so "with A.B.C.D;" is
          illegal in the same places as "with A.B.C;".

12/3
{<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} {<AI95-00262-01AI95-00262-01>}
{<AI95-00262-01AI95-00262-01>} {<AI05-0077-1AI05-0077-1>}
{<AI05-0122-1AI05-0122-1>} A name denoting a library_item (or the
corresponding declaration for a child of a generic within an instance --
see *note 10.1.1::), if it is visible only due to being mentioned in one
or more with_clauses that include the reserved word private, shall
appear only within:

13/2
   * a private part;

14/2
   * a body, but not within the subprogram_specification of a library
     subprogram body;

15/2
   * a private descendant of the unit on which one of these with_clauses
     appear; or

16/2
   * a pragma within a context clause.

16.a/2
          Ramification: These rules apply only if all of the
          with_clauses that mention the name include the reserved word
          private.  They do not apply if the name is mentioned in any
          with_clause that does not include private.

16.b/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0077-1AI05-0077-1>} These rules make the
          library_item visible anywhere that is not visible outside the
          subsystem rooted at the compilation_unit having the private
          with_clause, including private parts of packages nested in the
          visible part, private parts of child packages, the visible
          part of private children, and context clause pragmas like
          Elaborate_All.

16.c/2
          We considered having the scope of a private with_clause not
          include the visible part.  However, that rule would mean that
          moving a declaration between the visible part and the private
          part could change its meaning from one legal interpretation to
          a different legal interpretation.  For example:

16.d/2
               package A is
                   function B return Integer;
               end A;

16.e/2
               function B return Integer;

16.f/2
               with A;
               private with B;
               package C is
                   use A;
                   V1 : Integer := B; -- (1)
               private
                   V2 : Integer := B; -- (2)
               end C;

16.g/2
          If we say that library subprogram B is not in scope in the
          visible part of C, then the B at (1) resolves to A.B, while
          (2) resolves to library unit B. Simply moving a declaration
          could silently change its meaning.  With the legality rule
          defined above, the B at (1) is illegal.  If the user really
          meant A.B, they still can say that.

17/2
{<AI95-00217-06AI95-00217-06>} [A library_item mentioned in a
limited_with_clause shall be the implicit declaration of the limited
view of a library package, not the declaration of a subprogram, generic
unit, generic instance, or a renaming.]

17.a/2
          Proof: This is redundant because only such implicit
          declarations are visible in a limited_with_clause.  See *note
          10.1.6::.

18/2
{<AI95-00217-06AI95-00217-06>} {<AI95-00412-01AI95-00412-01>} A
limited_with_clause shall not appear on a library_unit_body, subunit, or
library_unit_renaming_declaration (*note 10.1.1: S0250.).

18.a/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00412-01AI95-00412-01>} We don't allow a
          limited_with_clause on a library_unit_renaming_declaration
          (*note 10.1.1: S0250.) because it would be useless and
          therefore probably is a mistake.  A renaming cannot appear in
          a limited_with_clause (by the rule prior to this one), and a
          renaming of a limited view cannot appear in a
          nonlimited_with_clause (because the name would not be within
          the scope of a with_clause denoting the package, see *note
          8.5.3::).  Nor could it be the parent of another unit.  That
          doesn't leave anywhere that the name of such a renaming could
          appear, so we simply make writing it illegal.

19/2
{<AI95-00217-06AI95-00217-06>} A limited_with_clause that names a
library package shall not appear:

20/3
   * {<AI95-00217-06AI95-00217-06>} {<AI05-0040-1AI05-0040-1>} in the
     context_clause for the explicit declaration of the named library
     package or any of its descendants;

20.a/2
          Reason: We have to explicitly disallow

20.b/2
               limited with P;
               package P is ...

20.c/2
          as we can't depend on the semantic dependence rules to do it
          for us as with regular withs.  This says "named" and not
          "mentioned" in order that

20.d/2
               limited private with P.Child;
               package P is ...

20.e/2
          can be used to allow a mutual dependence between the private
          part of P and the private child P.Child, which occurs in
          interfacing and other problems.  Since the child always
          semantically depends on the parent, this is the only way such
          a dependence can be broken.

20.f/3
          {<AI05-0040-1AI05-0040-1>} The part about descendants catches
          examples like

20.g/3
               limited with P;
               package P.Child is ...

21/3
   * {<AI95-00217-06AI95-00217-06>} {<AI05-0077-1AI05-0077-1>}
     {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} within a context_clause for a
     library_item that is within the scope of a nonlimited_with_clause
     that mentions the same library package; or

21.a.1/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0077-1AI05-0077-1>} This applies to
          nonlimited_with_clauses found in the same context_clause, as
          well as nonlimited_with_clauses found on parent units.

21.a/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0077-1AI05-0077-1>} Such a limited_with_clause
          could have no effect, and would be confusing.  If a
          nonlimited_with_clause for the same package is inherited from
          a parent unit or given in the context_clause, the full view is
          available, which strictly provides more information than the
          limited view.

22/3
   * {<AI95-00217-06AI95-00217-06>} {<AI05-0077-1AI05-0077-1>}
     {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} within a context_clause for a
     library_item that is within the scope of a use_clause that names an
     entity declared within the declarative region of the library
     package.

22.a.1/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0077-1AI05-0077-1>} This applies to
          use_clauses found in the same context_clause, as well as
          use_clauses found in (or on) parent units.

22.a/2
          Reason: This prevents visibility issues, where whether an
          entity is an incomplete or full view depends on how the name
          of the entity is written.  The limited_with_clause cannot be
          useful, as we must have the full view available in the parent
          in order for the use_clause to be legal.

     NOTES

23/2
     3  {<AI95-00217-06AI95-00217-06>} A library_item mentioned in a
     nonlimited_with_clause of a compilation unit is visible within the
     compilation unit and hence acts just like an ordinary declaration.
     Thus, within a compilation unit that mentions its declaration, the
     name of a library package can be given in use_clauses and can be
     used to form expanded names, a library subprogram can be called,
     and instances of a generic library unit can be declared.  If a
     child of a parent generic package is mentioned in a
     nonlimited_with_clause, then the corresponding declaration nested
     within each visible instance is visible within the compilation
     unit.  Similarly, a library_item mentioned in a limited_with_clause
     of a compilation unit is visible within the compilation unit and
     thus can be used to form expanded names.

23.a
          Ramification: The rules given for with_clauses are such that
          the same effect is obtained whether the name of a library unit
          is mentioned once or more than once by the applicable
          with_clauses, or even within a given with_clause.

23.b
          If a with_clause mentions a library_unit_renaming_declaration
          (*note 10.1.1: S0250.), it only "mentions" the prefixes
          appearing explicitly in the with_clause (and the renamed view
          itself); the with_clause is not defined to mention the
          ancestors of the renamed entity.  Thus, if X renames Y.Z, then
          "with X;" does not make the declarations of Y or Z visible.
          Note that this does not cause the dreaded visibility holes
          mentioned above.

31/2
{<AI95-00433-01AI95-00433-01>} The limited_with_clause may be used to
support mutually dependent abstractions that are split across multiple
packages.  In this case, an employee is assigned to a department, and a
department has a manager who is an employee.  If a with_clause with the
reserved word private appears on one library unit and mentions a second
library unit, it provides visibility to the second library unit, but
restricts that visibility to the private part and body of the first
unit.  The compiler checks that no use is made of the second unit in the
visible part of the first unit.

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

31.a
          The syntax rule for with_clause is modified to allow expanded
          name notation.

31.b
          A use_clause in a context_clause may be for a package (or
          type) nested in a library package.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

31.c
          The syntax rule for context_clause is modified to more closely
          reflect the semantics.  The Ada 83 syntax rule implies that
          the use_clauses that appear immediately after a particular
          with_clause are somehow attached to that with_clause, which is
          not true.  The new syntax allows a use_clause to appear first,
          but that is prevented by a textual rule that already exists in
          Ada 83.

31.d
          The concept of "scope of a with_clause" (which is a region of
          text) replaces RM83's notion of "apply to" (a with_clause
          applies to a library_item) The visibility rules are interested
          in a region of text, not in a set of compilation units.

31.e
          No need to define "apply to" for use_clauses.  Their semantics
          are fully covered by the "scope (of a use_clause)" definition
          in *note 8.4::.

31.f/2
          {<AI95-00220-01AI95-00220-01>} Amendment Correction: A
          subprogram body acting as a declaration cannot with a private
          child unit.  This would allow public export of types declared
          in private child packages, and thus cannot be allowed.  This
          was allowed by mistake in Ada 95; a subprogram that does this
          will now be illegal.

          {<AI95-00217-06AI95-00217-06>} limited_with_clauses are new.
          They make a limited view of a package visible, where all of
          the types in the package are incomplete.  They facilitate
          construction of mutually recursive types in multiple packages.

          {<AI95-00262-01AI95-00262-01>} {<AI05-0077-1AI05-0077-1>} The
          syntax rules for with_clause are modified to allow the
          reserved word private.  Private with_clauses do not allow the
          use of their library_item in the visible part of their
          compilation_unit.  They also allow using private units in more
          locations than in Ada 95.

31.i/3
          {<AI05-0040-1AI05-0040-1>} Correction: Added missing rule that
          a limited with clause cannot name an ancestor unit.  This is
          incompatible if an Ada 2005 program does this, but as this is
          a new Ada 2005 feature and the unintentionally allowed
          capability is not useful, the incompatibility is very unlikely
          to occur in practice.

31.j/3
          {<AI05-0077-1AI05-0077-1>} Correction: Fixed wording so that
          we are not checking whether something in a context_clause is
          "within the scope of" something, as context_clauses are never
          included in anything's scope.  The intended meaning is
          unchanged, however.

31.k/3
          {<AI05-0122-1AI05-0122-1>} Correction: Fixed wording so the

10.1.3 Subunits of Compilation Units
------------------------------------

1
[Subunits are like child units, with these (important) differences:
subunits support the separate compilation of bodies only (not
declarations); the parent contains a body_stub to indicate the existence
and place of each of its subunits; declarations appearing in the
parent's body can be visible within the subunits.]

                               _Syntax_

2
     body_stub ::= subprogram_body_stub | package_body_stub | 
     task_body_stub | protected_body_stub

3/3
     {<AI95-00218-03AI95-00218-03>} {<AI05-0267-1AI05-0267-1>}
     subprogram_body_stub ::=
        [overriding_indicator]
        subprogram_specification is separate
           [aspect_specification];

3.a
          Discussion: Although this syntax allows a parent_unit_name,
          that is disallowed by *note 10.1.1::, "*note 10.1.1::
          Compilation Units - Library Units".

4/3
     {<AI05-0267-1AI05-0267-1>} package_body_stub ::=
        package body defining_identifier is separate
           [aspect_specification];

5/3
     {<AI05-0267-1AI05-0267-1>} task_body_stub ::=
        task body defining_identifier is separate
           [aspect_specification];

6/3
     {<AI05-0267-1AI05-0267-1>} protected_body_stub ::=
        protected body defining_identifier is separate
           [aspect_specification];

7
     subunit ::= separate (parent_unit_name) proper_body

                           _Legality Rules_

8/2
{<AI95-00243-01AI95-00243-01>} The <parent body> of a subunit is the
body of the program unit denoted by its parent_unit_name.   The term
<subunit> is used to refer to a subunit and also to the proper_body of a
subunit.  The <subunits of a program unit> include any subunit that
names that program unit as its parent, as well as any subunit that names
such a subunit as its parent (recursively).

8.a.1/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00243-01AI95-00243-01>} We want any rule that
          applies to a subunit to apply to a subunit of a subunit as
          well.

9
The parent body of a subunit shall be present in the current
environment, and shall contain a corresponding body_stub with the same
defining_identifier as the subunit.

9.a
          Discussion: This can't be a Name Resolution Rule, because a
          subunit is not a complete context.

10/3
{<AI05-0004-1AI05-0004-1>} A package_body_stub shall be the completion
of a package_declaration (*note 7.1: S0190.) or
generic_package_declaration (*note 12.1: S0273.); a task_body_stub
(*note 10.1.3: S0261.) shall be the completion of a task declaration; a
protected_body_stub (*note 10.1.3: S0262.) shall be the completion of a
protected declaration.

11
In contrast, a subprogram_body_stub need not be the completion of a
previous declaration, [in which case the _stub declares the subprogram].
If the _stub is a completion, it shall be the completion of a
subprogram_declaration or generic_subprogram_declaration.  The profile
of a subprogram_body_stub that completes a declaration shall conform
fully to that of the declaration.  

11.a
          Discussion: The part about subprogram_body_stubs echoes the
          corresponding rule for subprogram_bodies in *note 6.3::,
          "*note 6.3:: Subprogram Bodies".

12
A subunit that corresponds to a body_stub shall be of the same kind
(package_, subprogram_, task_, or protected_) as the body_stub.  The
profile of a subprogram_body subunit shall be fully conformant to that
of the corresponding body_stub.  

13
A body_stub shall appear immediately within the declarative_part of a
compilation unit body.  This rule does not apply within an instance of a
generic unit.

13.a
          Discussion: This is a methodological restriction; that is, it
          is not necessary for the semantics of the language to make
          sense.

14
The defining_identifiers of all body_stubs that appear immediately
within a particular declarative_part shall be distinct.

                       _Post-Compilation Rules_

15
For each body_stub, there shall be a subunit containing the
corresponding proper_body.

     NOTES

16
     4  The rules in *note 10.1.4::, "*note 10.1.4:: The Compilation
     Process" say that a body_stub is equivalent to the corresponding
     proper_body.  This implies:

17
        * Visibility within a subunit is the visibility that would be
          obtained at the place of the corresponding body_stub (within
          the parent body) if the context_clause of the subunit were
          appended to that of the parent body.

17.a
          Ramification: Recursively.  Note that this transformation
          might make the parent illegal; hence it is not a true
          equivalence, but applies only to visibility within the
          subunit.

18
        * The effect of the elaboration of a body_stub is to elaborate
          the subunit.

18.a
          Ramification: The elaboration of a subunit is part of its
          parent body's elaboration, whereas the elaboration of a child
          unit is not part of its parent declaration's elaboration.

18.b
          Ramification: A library_item that is mentioned in a
          with_clause of a subunit can be hidden (from direct
          visibility) by a declaration (with the same identifier) given
          in the subunit.  Moreover, such a library_item can even be
          hidden by a declaration given within the parent body since a
          library unit is declared in its parent's declarative region;
          this however does not affect the interpretation of the
          with_clauses themselves, since only library_items are visible
          or directly visible in with_clauses.

18.c
          The body of a protected operation cannot be a subunit.  This
          follows from the syntax rules.  The body of a protected unit
          can be a subunit.

                              _Examples_

19
The package Parent is first written without subunits:

20
     package Parent is
         procedure Inner;
     end Parent;

21
     with Ada.Text_IO;
     package body Parent is
         Variable : String := "Hello, there.";
         procedure Inner is
         begin
             Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line(Variable);
         end Inner;
     end Parent;

22
The body of procedure Inner may be turned into a subunit by rewriting
the package body as follows (with the declaration of Parent remaining
the same):

23
     package body Parent is
         Variable : String := "Hello, there.";
         procedure Inner is separate;
     end Parent;

24
     with Ada.Text_IO;
     separate(Parent)
     procedure Inner is
     begin
         Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line(Variable);
     end Inner;

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

24.a
          Subunits of the same ancestor library unit are no longer
          restricted to have distinct identifiers.  Instead, we require
          only that the full expanded names be distinct.

10.1.4 The Compilation Process
------------------------------

1
Each compilation unit submitted to the compiler is compiled in the
context of an <environment> declarative_part (or simply, an
<environment>), which is a conceptual declarative_part that forms the
outermost declarative region of the context of any compilation.  At run
time, an environment forms the declarative_part of the body of the
environment task of a partition (see *note 10.2::, "*note 10.2:: Program
Execution").

1.a
          Ramification: At compile time, there is no particular
          construct that the declarative region is considered to be
          nested within -- the environment is the universe.

1.b
          To be honest: The environment is really just a portion of a
          declarative_part, since there might, for example, be bodies
          that do not yet exist.

2
The declarative_items of the environment are library_items appearing in
an order such that there are no forward semantic dependences.  Each
included subunit occurs in place of the corresponding stub.  The
visibility rules apply as if the environment were the outermost
declarative region, except that with_clause (*note 10.1.2: S0255.)s are
needed to make declarations of library units visible (see *note
10.1.2::).

3/2
{<AI95-00217-06AI95-00217-06>} The mechanisms for creating an
environment and for adding and replacing compilation units within an
environment are implementation defined.  The mechanisms for adding a
compilation unit mentioned in a limited_with_clause to an environment
are implementation defined.

3.a
          Implementation defined: The mechanisms for creating an
          environment and for adding and replacing compilation units.

3.a.1/2
          Implementation defined: The mechanisms for adding a
          compilation unit mentioned in a limited_with_clause to an
          environment.

3.b
          Ramification: The traditional model, used by most Ada 83
          implementations, is that one places a compilation unit in the
          environment by compiling it.  Other models are possible.  For
          example, an implementation might define the environment to be
          a directory; that is, the compilation units in the environment
          are all the compilation units in the source files contained in
          the directory.  In this model, the mechanism for replacing a
          compilation unit with a new one is simply to edit the source
          file containing that compilation unit.

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

4/3
{<8652/00328652/0032>} {<AI95-00192-01AI95-00192-01>}
{<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} If a library_unit_body that is a
subprogram_body is submitted to the compiler, it is interpreted only as
a completion if a library_unit_declaration with the same
defining_program_unit_name already exists in the environment for a
subprogram other than an instance of a generic subprogram or for a
generic subprogram (even if the profile of the body is not type
conformant with that of the declaration); otherwise, the subprogram_body
is interpreted as both the declaration and body of a library subprogram.

4.a
          Ramification: The principle here is that a subprogram_body
          should be interpreted as only a completion if and only if it
          "might" be legal as the completion of some preexisting
          declaration, where "might" is defined in a way that does not
          require overload resolution to determine.

4.b
          Hence, if the preexisting declaration is a
          subprogram_declaration or generic_subprogram_declaration, we
          treat the new subprogram_body as its completion, because it
          "might" be legal.  If it turns out that the profiles don't
          fully conform, it's an error.  In all other cases (the
          preexisting declaration is a package or a generic package, or
          an instance of a generic subprogram, or a renaming, or a
          "spec-less" subprogram, or in the case where there is no
          preexisting thing), the subprogram_body declares a new
          subprogram.

4.c
          See also AI83-00266/09.

                           _Legality Rules_

5
When a compilation unit is compiled, all compilation units upon which it
depends semantically shall already exist in the environment; the set of
these compilation units shall be <consistent> in the sense that the new
compilation unit shall not semantically depend (directly or indirectly)
on two different versions of the same compilation unit, nor on an
earlier version of itself.

5.a
          Discussion: For example, if package declarations A and B both
          say "with X;", and the user compiles a compilation unit that
          says "with A, B;", then the A and B have to be talking about
          the same version of X.

5.b
          Ramification: What it means to be a "different version" is not
          specified by the language.  In some implementations, it means
          that the compilation unit has been recompiled.  In others, it
          means that the source of the compilation unit has been edited
          in some significant way.

5.c
          Note that an implementation cannot require the existence of
          compilation units upon which the given one does not
          semantically depend.  For example, an implementation is
          required to be able to compile a compilation unit that says
          "with A;" when A's body does not exist.  It has to be able to
          detect errors without looking at A's body.

5.d/3
          {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} Similarly, the implementation has
          to be able to compile a call to a subprogram for which aspect
          Inline has been specified without seeing the body of that
          subprogram -- inlining would not be achieved in this case, but
          the call is still legal.

5.e/3
          {<AI95-00217-06AI95-00217-06>} {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} The
          consistency rule applies to limited views as well as the full
          view of a compilation unit.  That means that an implementation
          needs a way to enforce consistency of limited views, not just
          of full views.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

6/2
{<AI95-00217-06AI95-00217-06>} The implementation may require that a
compilation unit be legal before it can be mentioned in a
limited_with_clause or it can be inserted into the environment.

7/3
{<AI95-00214-01AI95-00214-01>} {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} When a
compilation unit that declares or renames a library unit is added to the
environment, the implementation may remove from the environment any
preexisting library_item or subunit with the same full expanded name.
When a compilation unit that is a subunit or the body of a library unit
is added to the environment, the implementation may remove from the
environment any preexisting version of the same compilation unit.  When
a compilation unit that contains a body_stub is added to the
environment, the implementation may remove any preexisting library_item
or subunit with the same full expanded name as the body_stub.  When a
given compilation unit is removed from the environment, the
implementation may also remove any compilation unit that depends
semantically upon the given one.  If the given compilation unit contains
the body of a subprogram for which aspect Inline is True, the
implementation may also remove any compilation unit containing a call to
that subprogram.

7.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} The permissions given
          in this paragraph correspond to the traditional model, where
          compilation units enter the environment by being compiled into
          it, and the compiler checks their legality at that time.  An
          implementation model in which the environment consists of all
          source files in a given directory might not want to take
          advantage of these permissions.  Compilation units would not
          be checked for legality as soon as they enter the environment;
          legality checking would happen later, when compilation units
          are compiled.  In this model, compilation units might never be
          automatically removed from the environment; they would be
          removed when the user explicitly deletes a source file.

7.b
          Note that the rule is recursive: if the above permission is
          used to remove a compilation unit containing an inlined
          subprogram call, then compilation units that depend
          semantically upon the removed one may also be removed, and so
          on.

7.c
          Note that here we are talking about dependences among existing
          compilation units in the environment; it doesn't matter what
          with_clauses are attached to the new compilation unit that
          triggered all this.

7.d/3
          {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} An implementation may have other
          modes in which compilation units in addition to the ones
          mentioned above are removed.  For example, an implementation
          might inline subprogram calls without an explicit aspect
          Inline.  If so, it either has to have a mode in which that
          optimization is turned off, or it has to automatically
          regenerate code for the inlined calls without requiring the
          user to resubmit them to the compiler.

7.d.1/2
          Discussion: {<8652/01088652/0108>}
          {<AI95-00077-01AI95-00077-01>} {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>}
          In the standard mode, implementations may only remove units
          from the environment for one of the reasons listed here, or in
          response to an explicit user command to modify the
          environment.  It is not intended that the act of compiling a
          unit is one of the "mechanisms" for removing units other than
          those specified by this International Standard.

7.e/2
          {<AI95-00214-01AI95-00214-01>} These rules are intended to
          ensure that an implementation never need keep more than one
          compilation unit with any full expanded name.  In particular,
          it is not necessary to be able to have a subunit and a child
          unit with the same name in the environment at one time.

     NOTES

8
     5  The rules of the language are enforced across compilation and
     compilation unit boundaries, just as they are enforced within a
     single compilation unit.

8.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} Note that Clause
          *note 1:: requires an implementation to detect illegal
          compilation units at compile time.

9
     6  An implementation may support a concept of a <library>, which
     contains library_items.  If multiple libraries are supported, the
     implementation has to define how a single environment is
     constructed when a compilation unit is submitted to the compiler.
     Naming conflicts between different libraries might be resolved by
     treating each library as the root of a hierarchy of child library
     units.  

9.a
          Implementation Note: Alternatively, naming conflicts could be
          resolved via some sort of hiding rule.

9.b
          Discussion: For example, the implementation might support a
          command to import library Y into library X. If a root library
          unit called LU (that is, Standard.LU) exists in Y, then from
          the point of view of library X, it could be called Y.LU. X
          might contain library units that say, "with Y.LU;".

10
     7  A compilation unit containing an instantiation of a separately
     compiled generic unit does not semantically depend on the body of
     the generic unit.  Therefore, replacing the generic body in the
     environment does not result in the removal of the compilation unit
     containing the instantiation.

10.a
          Implementation Note: Therefore, implementations have to be
          prepared to automatically instantiate generic bodies at
          link-time, as needed.  This might imply a complete automatic
          recompilation, but it is the intent of the language that
          generic bodies can be (re)instantiated without forcing all of
          the compilation units that semantically depend on the
          compilation unit containing the instantiation to be
          recompiled.

          {<AI95-00077-01AI95-00077-01>} {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>}
          Ada 83 allowed implementations to require that the body of a
          generic unit be available when the instantiation is compiled;
          that permission is dropped in Ada 95.  This isn't really an
          extension (it doesn't allow Ada users to write anything that
          they couldn't in Ada 83), but there isn't a more appropriate
          category, and it does allow users more flexibility when
          developing programs.

          {<AI95-00214-01AI95-00214-01>} The permissions to remove a

          expanded name in the environment.

10.1.5 Pragmas and Program Units
--------------------------------

1
[This subclause discusses pragmas related to program units, library
units, and compilations.]

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

2
Certain pragmas are defined to be <program unit pragmas>.  A name given
as the argument of a program unit pragma shall resolve to denote the
declarations or renamings of one or more program units that occur
immediately within the declarative region or compilation in which the
pragma immediately occurs, or it shall resolve to denote the declaration
of the immediately enclosing program unit (if any); the pragma applies
to the denoted program unit(s).  If there are no names given as
arguments, the pragma applies to the immediately enclosing program unit.

2.a
          Ramification: The fact that this is a Name Resolution Rule
          means that the pragma will not apply to declarations from
          outer declarative regions.

                           _Legality Rules_

3
A program unit pragma shall appear in one of these places:

4
   * At the place of a compilation_unit, in which case the pragma shall
     immediately follow in the same compilation (except for other
     pragmas) a library_unit_declaration (*note 10.1.1: S0249.) that is
     a subprogram_declaration (*note 6.1: S0163.),
     generic_subprogram_declaration (*note 12.1: S0272.), or
     generic_instantiation (*note 12.3: S0276.), and the pragma shall
     have an argument that is a name denoting that declaration.

4.a
          Ramification: The name has to denote the immediately preceding
          library_unit_declaration.

5/1
   * {<8652/00338652/0033>} {<AI95-00136-01AI95-00136-01>} Immediately
     within the visible part of a program unit and before any nested
     declaration (but not within a generic formal part), in which case
     the argument, if any, shall be a direct_name that denotes the
     immediately enclosing program unit declaration.

5.a
          Ramification: The argument is optional in this case.

6
   * At the place of a declaration other than the first, of a
     declarative_part or program unit declaration, in which case the
     pragma shall have an argument, which shall be a direct_name that
     denotes one or more of the following (and nothing else): a
     subprogram_declaration (*note 6.1: S0163.), a
     generic_subprogram_declaration (*note 12.1: S0272.), or a
     generic_instantiation (*note 12.3: S0276.), of the same
     declarative_part (*note 3.11: S0086.) or program unit declaration.

6.a
          Ramification: If you want to denote a subprogram_body that is
          not a completion, or a package_declaration, for example, you
          have to put the pragma inside.

7/3
{<AI05-0132-1AI05-0132-1>} Certain program unit pragmas are defined to
be <library unit pragmas>.  If a library unit pragma applies to a
program unit, the program unit shall be a library unit.

7.a
          Ramification: This, together with the rules for program unit
          pragmas above, implies that if a library unit pragma applies
          to a subprogram_declaration (and similar things), it has to
          appear immediately after the compilation_unit, whereas if the
          pragma applies to a package_declaration, a subprogram_body
          that is not a completion (and similar things), it has to
          appear inside, as the first declarative_item.

                          _Static Semantics_

7.1/1
{<8652/00348652/0034>} {<AI95-00041-01AI95-00041-01>} A library unit
pragma that applies to a generic unit does not apply to its instances,
unless a specific rule for the pragma specifies the contrary.

                       _Post-Compilation Rules_

8
Certain pragmas are defined to be <configuration pragmas>; they shall
appear before the first compilation_unit of a compilation.  [They are
generally used to select a partition-wide or system-wide option.]  The
pragma applies to all compilation_units appearing in the compilation,
unless there are none, in which case it applies to all future
compilation_units compiled into the same environment.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

9/2
{<AI95-00212-01AI95-00212-01>} An implementation may require that
configuration pragmas that select partition-wide or system-wide options
be compiled when the environment contains no library_items other than
those of the predefined environment.  In this case, the implementation
shall still accept configuration pragmas in individual compilations that
confirm the initially selected partition-wide or system-wide options.

                        _Implementation Advice_

10/1
{<8652/00348652/0034>} {<AI95-00041-01AI95-00041-01>} When applied to a
generic unit, a program unit pragma that is not a library unit pragma
should apply to each instance of the generic unit for which there is not
an overriding pragma applied directly to the instance.

10.a/2
          Implementation Advice: When applied to a generic unit, a
          program unit pragma that is not a library unit pragma should
          apply to each instance of the generic unit for which there is
          not an overriding pragma applied directly to the instance.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

10.b/2
          {<8652/00338652/0033>} {<AI95-00136-01AI95-00136-01>}
          Corrigendum: The wording was corrected to ensure that a
          program unit pragma cannot appear in private parts or generic
          formal parts.

10.c/2
          {<8652/00348652/0034>} {<AI95-00041-01AI95-00041-01>}
          Corrigendum: The wording was clarified to explain the meaning
          of program unit and library unit pragmas in generic units.

10.d/2
          The Implementation Advice added by the Corrigendum was moved,
          as it was not in the normal order.  (This changes the
          paragraph number.)  It originally was directly after the new
          Static Semantics rule.

10.e/2
          {<AI95-00212-01AI95-00212-01>} The permission to place
          restrictions was clarified to:

10.f/2
             * Ensure that it applies only to partition-wide
               configuration pragmas, not ones like Assertion_Policy
               (see *note 11.4.2::), which can be different in different
               units; and

10.g/2
             * Ensure that confirming pragmas are always allowed.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

10.h/3
          {<AI05-0132-1AI05-0132-1>} Correction: A library unit pragma
          must apply directly to a library unit, even if no name is
          given in the pragma.

10.1.6 Environment-Level Visibility Rules
-----------------------------------------

1
[The normal visibility rules do not apply within a parent_unit_name or a
context_clause, nor within a pragma that appears at the place of a
compilation unit.  The special visibility rules for those contexts are
given here.]

                          _Static Semantics_

2/2
{<AI95-00217-06AI95-00217-06>} {<AI95-00312-01AI95-00312-01>} Within the
parent_unit_name at the beginning of an explicit library_item, and
within a nonlimited_with_clause, the only declarations that are visible
are those that are explicit library_items of the environment, and the
only declarations that are directly visible are those that are explicit
root library_items of the environment.  Within a limited_with_clause,
the only declarations that are visible are those that are the implicit
declaration of the limited view of a library package of the environment,
and the only declarations that are directly visible are those that are
the implicit declaration of the limited view of a root library package.

2.a
          Ramification: In "package P.Q.R is ...  end P.Q.R;", this rule
          requires P to be a root library unit, and Q to be a library
          unit (because those are the things that are directly visible
          and visible).  Note that visibility does not apply between the
          "end" and the ";".

2.b
          Physically nested declarations are not visible at these
          places.

2.c
          Although Standard is visible at these places, it is impossible
          to name it, since it is not directly visible, and it has no
          parent.

2.c.1/2
          {<AI95-00217-06AI95-00217-06>} Only compilation units defining
          limited views can be mentioned in a limited_with_clause, while
          only compilation units defining full views (that is, the
          explicit declarations) can be mentioned in a
          nonlimited_with_clause.  This resolves the conflict inherent
          in having two compilation units with the same defining name.

2.d/2
          <This paragraph was deleted.>{<AI95-00312-01AI95-00312-01>}

3
Within a use_clause or pragma that is within a context_clause, each
library_item mentioned in a previous with_clause of the same
context_clause is visible, and each root library_item so mentioned is
directly visible.  In addition, within such a use_clause, if a given
declaration is visible or directly visible, each declaration that occurs
immediately within the given declaration's visible part is also visible.
No other declarations are visible or directly visible.

3.a
          Discussion: Note the word "same".  For example, if a
          with_clause on a declaration mentions X, this does not make X
          visible in use_clauses and pragmas that are on the body.  The
          reason for this rule is the one-pass context_clauses Language
          Design Principle.

3.b
          Note that the second part of the rule does not mention
          pragmas.

4
Within the parent_unit_name of a subunit, library_items are visible as
they are in the parent_unit_name of a library_item; in addition, the
declaration corresponding to each body_stub in the environment is also
visible.

4.a
          Ramification: For a subprogram without a separate
          subprogram_declaration, the body_stub itself is the
          declaration.

5
Within a pragma that appears at the place of a compilation unit, the
immediately preceding library_item and each of its ancestors is visible.
The ancestor root library_item is directly visible.

6/2
{<AI95-00312-01AI95-00312-01>} Notwithstanding the rules of *note
4.1.3::, an expanded name in a with_clause, a pragma in a
context_clause, or a pragma that appears at the place of a compilation
unit may consist of a prefix that denotes a generic package and a
selector_name that denotes a child of that generic package.  [(The child
is necessarily a generic unit; see *note 10.1.1::.)]

6.a/2
          Reason: This rule allows with A.B; and pragma Elaborate(A.B);
          where A is a generic library package and B is one of its
          (generic) children.  This is necessary because it is not
          normally legal to use an expanded name to reach inside a
          generic package.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

6.b
          The special visibility rules that apply within a
          parent_unit_name or a context_clause, and within a pragma that
          appears at the place of a compilation_unit are clarified.

6.c
          Note that a context_clause is not part of any declarative
          region.

6.d
          We considered making the visibility rules within
          parent_unit_names and context_clauses follow from the context
          of compilation.  However, this attempt failed for various
          reasons.  For example, it would require use_clauses in
          context_clauses to be within the declarative region of
          Standard, which sounds suspiciously like a kludge.  And we
          would still need a special rule to prevent seeing things (in
          our own context_clause) that were with-ed by our parent, etc.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

6.e/2
          {<AI95-00217-06AI95-00217-06>} Added separate visibility rules
          for limited_with_clauses; the existing rules apply only to
          nonlimited_with_clauses.

6.f/2
          {<AI95-00312-01AI95-00312-01>} Clarified that the name of a
          generic child unit may appear in a pragma in a context_clause.

10.2 Program Execution
======================

1
An Ada <program> consists of a set of <partitions>[, which can execute
in parallel with one another, possibly in a separate address space, and
possibly on a separate computer.]

                       _Post-Compilation Rules_

2
A partition is a program or part of a program that can be invoked from
outside the Ada implementation.  [For example, on many systems, a
partition might be an executable file generated by the system linker.]
The user can <explicitly assign> library units to a partition.  The
assignment is done in an implementation-defined manner.  The compilation
units included in a partition are those of the explicitly assigned
library units, as well as other compilation units <needed by> those
library units.  The compilation units needed by a given compilation unit
are determined as follows (unless specified otherwise via an
implementation-defined pragma, or by some other implementation-defined
means): 

2.a
          Discussion: From a run-time point of view, an Ada 95 partition
          is identical to an Ada 83 program -- implementations were
          always allowed to provide inter-program communication
          mechanisms.  The additional semantics of partitions is that
          interfaces between them can be defined to obey normal language
          rules (as is done in *note Annex E::, "*note Annex E::
          Distributed Systems"), whereas interfaces between separate
          programs had no particular semantics.

2.b
          Implementation defined: The manner of explicitly assigning
          library units to a partition.

2.c
          Implementation defined: The implementation-defined means, if
          any, of specifying which compilation units are needed by a
          given compilation unit.

2.d
          Discussion: There are no pragmas that "specify otherwise"
          defined by the core language.  However, an implementation is
          allowed to provide such pragmas, and in fact *note Annex E::,
          "*note Annex E:: Distributed Systems" defines some pragmas
          whose semantics includes reducing the set of compilation units
          described here.

3
   * A compilation unit needs itself;

4
   * If a compilation unit is needed, then so are any compilation units
     upon which it depends semantically;

5
   * If a library_unit_declaration is needed, then so is any
     corresponding library_unit_body;

6/2
   * {<AI95-00217-06AI95-00217-06>} If a compilation unit with stubs is
     needed, then so are any corresponding subunits;

6.a
          Discussion: Note that in the environment, the stubs are
          replaced with the corresponding proper_bodies.

6.1/2
   * {<AI95-00217-06AI95-00217-06>} If the (implicit) declaration of the
     limited view of a library package is needed, then so is the
     explicit declaration of the library package.

6.b
          Discussion: Note that a child unit is not included just
          because its parent is included -- to include a child, mention
          it in a with_clause.

6.c/2
          {<AI95-00217-06AI95-00217-06>} A package is included in a
          partition even if the only reference to it is in a
          limited_with_clause.  While this isn't strictly necessary (no
          objects of types imported from such a unit can be created), it
          ensures that all incomplete types are eventually completed,
          and is the least surprising option.

7
The user can optionally designate (in an implementation-defined manner)
one subprogram as the <main subprogram> for the partition.  A main
subprogram, if specified, shall be a subprogram.

7.a
          Discussion: This may seem superfluous, since it follows from
          the definition.  But we would like to have every error message
          that might be generated (before run time) by an implementation
          correspond to some explicitly stated "shall" rule.

7.b
          Of course, this does not mean that the "shall" rules
          correspond one-to-one with an implementation's error messages.
          For example, the rule that says overload resolution "shall"
          succeed in producing a single interpretation would correspond
          to many error messages in a good implementation -- the
          implementation would want to explain to the user exactly why
          overload resolution failed.  This is especially true for the
          syntax rules -- they are considered part of overload
          resolution, but in most cases, one would expect an error
          message based on the particular syntax rule that was violated.

7.c
          Implementation defined: The manner of designating the main
          subprogram of a partition.

7.d
          Ramification: An implementation cannot require the user to
          specify, say, all of the library units to be included.  It has
          to support, for example, perhaps the most typical case, where
          the user specifies just one library unit, the main program.
          The implementation has to do the work of tracking down all the
          other ones.

8
Each partition has an anonymous <environment task>[, which is an
implicit outermost task whose execution elaborates the library_items of
the environment declarative_part, and then calls the main subprogram, if
there is one.  A partition's execution is that of its tasks.]

8.a
          Ramification: An environment task has no master; all
          nonenvironment tasks have masters.

8.b
          An implementation is allowed to support multiple concurrent
          executions of the same partition.

9
[The order of elaboration of library units is determined primarily by
the <elaboration dependences>.]  There is an elaboration dependence of a
given library_item upon another if the given library_item or any of its
subunits depends semantically on the other library_item.  In addition,
if a given library_item or any of its subunits has a pragma Elaborate or
Elaborate_All that names another library unit, then there is an
elaboration dependence of the given library_item upon the body of the
other library unit, and, for Elaborate_All only, upon each library_item
needed by the declaration of the other library unit.

9.a.1/2
          Discussion: {<8652/01078652/0107>}
          {<AI95-00180-01AI95-00180-01>} {<AI95-00256-01AI95-00256-01>}
          "Mentions" was used informally in the above rule; it was not
          intended to refer to the definition of <mentions> in *note
          10.1.2::.  It was changed to "names" to make this clear.

9.a
          See above for a definition of which library_items are "needed
          by" a given declaration.

9.b
          Note that elaboration dependences are among library_items,
          whereas the other two forms of dependence are among
          compilation units.  Note that elaboration dependence includes
          semantic dependence.  It's a little bit sad that pragma
          Elaborate_Body can't be folded into this mechanism.  It
          follows from the definition that the elaboration dependence
          relationship is transitive.  Note that the wording of the rule
          does not need to take into account a semantic dependence of a
          library_item or one of its subunits upon a subunit of a
          different library unit, because that can never happen.

10
The environment task for a partition has the following structure:

11
     task <Environment_Task>;

12
     task body <Environment_Task> is
         ... (1) --< The environment >declarative_part
                 --< (that is, the sequence of >library_item<s) goes here.>
     begin
         ... (2) --< Call the main subprogram, if there is one.>
     end <Environment_Task>;

12.a
          Ramification: The name of the environment task is written in
          italics here to indicate that this task is anonymous.

12.b
          Discussion: The model is different for a "passive partition"
          (see *note E.1::).  Either there is no environment task, or
          its sequence_of_statements is an infinite loop rather than a
          call on a main subprogram.

13
The environment declarative_part at (1) is a sequence of
declarative_items consisting of copies of the library_items included in
the partition[.  The order of elaboration of library_items is the order
in which they appear in the environment declarative_part]:

14
   * The order of all included library_items is such that there are no
     forward elaboration dependences.

14.a
          Ramification: This rule is written so that if a library_item
          depends on itself, we don't require it to be elaborated before
          itself.  See AI83-00113/12.  This can happen only in
          pathological circumstances.  For example, if a library
          subprogram_body has no corresponding subprogram_declaration,
          and one of the subunits of the subprogram_body mentions the
          subprogram_body in a with_clause, the subprogram_body will
          depend on itself.  For another example, if a library_unit_body
          applies a pragma Elaborate_All to its own declaration, then
          the library_unit_body will depend on itself.

15/3
   * {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} Any included library_unit_declaration
     for which aspect Elaborate_Body is True [(including when a pragma
     Elaborate_Body applies)] is immediately followed by its
     library_unit_body, if included.

15.a
          Discussion: This implies that the body of such a library unit
          shall not "with" any of its own children, or anything else
          that depends semantically upon the declaration of the library
          unit.

15.b/3
          Proof: {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} Pragma Elaborate_Body sets
          aspect Elaborate_Body, see *note 10.2.1::.

16
   * All library_items declared pure occur before any that are not
     declared pure.

17
   * All preelaborated library_items occur before any that are not
     preelaborated.

17.a
          Discussion: Normally, if two partitions contain the same
          compilation unit, they each contain a separate <copy> of that
          compilation unit.  See *note Annex E::, "*note Annex E::
          Distributed Systems" for cases where two partitions share the
          same copy of something.

17.b
          There is no requirement that the main subprogram be elaborated
          last.  In fact, it is possible to write a partition in which
          the main subprogram cannot be elaborated last.

17.c
          Ramification: This declarative_part has the properties
          required of all environments (see *note 10.1.4::).  However,
          the environment declarative_part of a partition will typically
          contain fewer compilation units than the environment
          declarative_part used at compile time -- only the "needed"
          ones are included in the partition.

18
There shall be a total order of the library_items that obeys the above
rules.  The order is otherwise implementation defined.

18.a
          Discussion: The only way to violate this rule is to have
          Elaborate, Elaborate_All, or Elaborate_Body pragmas that cause
          circular ordering requirements, thus preventing an order that
          has no forward elaboration dependences.

18.b
          Implementation defined: The order of elaboration of
          library_items.

18.c
          To be honest: Notwithstanding what the RM95 says elsewhere,
          each rule that requires a declaration to have a corresponding
          completion is considered to be a Post-Compilation Rule when
          the declaration is that of a library unit.

18.d
          Discussion: Such rules may be checked at "link time," for
          example.  Rules requiring the completion to have certain
          properties, on the other hand, are checked at compile time of
          the completion.

19
The full expanded names of the library units and subunits included in a
given partition shall be distinct.

19.a
          Reason: This is a Post-Compilation Rule because making it a
          Legality Rule would violate the Language Design Principle
          labeled "legality determinable via semantic dependences."

20
The sequence_of_statements of the environment task (see (2) above)
consists of either:

21
   * A call to the main subprogram, if the partition has one.  If the
     main subprogram has parameters, they are passed; where the actuals
     come from is implementation defined.  What happens to the result of
     a main function is also implementation defined.

21.a
          Implementation defined: Parameter passing and function return
          for the main subprogram.

22
or:

23
   * A null_statement, if there is no main subprogram.

23.a
          Discussion: For a passive partition, either there is no
          environment task, or its sequence_of_statements is an infinite
          loop.  See *note E.1::.

24
The mechanisms for building and running partitions are implementation
defined.  [These might be combined into one operation, as, for example,
in dynamic linking, or "load-and-go" systems.]

24.a
          Implementation defined: The mechanisms for building and
          running partitions.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

25
The execution of a program consists of the execution of a set of
partitions.  Further details are implementation defined.  The execution
of a partition starts with the execution of its environment task, ends
when the environment task terminates, and includes the executions of all
tasks of the partition.  [The execution of the (implicit) task_body of
the environment task acts as a master for all other tasks created as
part of the execution of the partition.  When the environment task
completes (normally or abnormally), it waits for the termination of all
such tasks, and then finalizes any remaining objects of the partition.]

25.a
          Ramification: The "further details" mentioned above include,
          for example, program termination -- it is implementation
          defined.  There is no need to define it here; it's entirely up
          to the implementation whether it wants to consider the program
          as a whole to exist beyond the existence of individual
          partitions.

25.b
          Implementation defined: The details of program execution,
          including program termination.

25.c
          To be honest: The execution of the partition terminates
          (normally or abnormally) when the environment task terminates
          (normally or abnormally, respectively).

                      _Bounded (Run-Time) Errors_

26
Once the environment task has awaited the termination of all other tasks
of the partition, any further attempt to create a task (during
finalization) is a bounded error, and may result in the raising of
Program_Error either upon creation or activation of the task.  If such a
task is activated, it is not specified whether the task is awaited prior
to termination of the environment task.

                     _Implementation Requirements_

27
The implementation shall ensure that all compilation units included in a
partition are consistent with one another, and are legal according to
the rules of the language.

27.a
          Discussion: The consistency requirement implies that a
          partition cannot contain two versions of the same compilation
          unit.  That is, a partition cannot contain two different
          library units with the same full expanded name, nor two
          different bodies for the same program unit.  For example,
          suppose we compile the following:

27.b
               package A is --< Version 1.>
                   ...
               end A;

27.c
               with A;
               package B is
               end B;

27.d
               package A is --< Version 2.>
                   ...
               end A;

27.e
               with A;
               package C is
               end C;

27.f
          It would be wrong for a partition containing B and C to
          contain both versions of A. Typically, the implementation
          would require the use of Version 2 of A, which might require
          the recompilation of B. Alternatively, the implementation
          might automatically recompile B when the partition is built.
          A third alternative would be an incremental compiler that,
          when Version 2 of A is compiled, automatically patches the
          object code for B to reflect the changes to A (if there are
          any relevant changes -- there might not be any).

27.g
          An implementation that supported fancy version management
          might allow the use of Version 1 in some circumstances.  In no
          case can the implementation allow the use of both versions in
          the same partition (unless, of course, it can prove that the
          two versions are semantically identical).

27.h
          The core language says nothing about inter-partition
          consistency; see also *note Annex E::, "*note Annex E::
          Distributed Systems".

                     _Implementation Permissions_

28/3
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} The kind of partition described in this
subclause is known as an <active> partition.  An implementation is
allowed to support other kinds of partitions, with
implementation-defined semantics.

28.a
          Implementation defined: The semantics of any nonactive
          partitions supported by the implementation.

28.b
          Discussion: *note Annex E::, "*note Annex E:: Distributed
          Systems" defines the concept of passive partitions; they may
          be thought of as a partition without an environment task, or
          as one with a particularly simple form of environment task,
          having an infinite loop rather than a call on a main
          subprogram as its sequence_of_statements.

29
An implementation may restrict the kinds of subprograms it supports as
main subprograms.  However, an implementation is required to support all
main subprograms that are public parameterless library procedures.

29.a
          Ramification: The implementation is required to support main
          subprograms that are procedures declared by
          generic_instantiations, as well as those that are children of
          library units other than Standard.  Generic units are, of
          course, not allowed to be main subprograms, since they are not
          subprograms.

29.b
          Note that renamings are irrelevant to this rule.  This rules
          says which subprograms (not views) have to be supported.  The
          implementation can choose any way it wants for the user to
          indicate which subprogram should be the main subprogram.  An
          implementation might allow any name of any view, including
          those declared by renamings.  Another implementation might
          require it to be the original name.  Another implementation
          still might use the name of the source file or some such
          thing.

30
If the environment task completes abnormally, the implementation may
abort any dependent tasks.

30.a
          Reason: If the implementation does not take advantage of this
          permission, the normal action takes place -- the environment
          task awaits those tasks.

30.b
          The possibility of aborting them is not shown in the
          <Environment_Task> code above, because there is nowhere to put
          an exception_handler that can handle exceptions raised in both
          the environment declarative_part and the main subprogram, such
          that the dependent tasks can be aborted.  If we put an
          exception_handler in the body of the environment task, then it
          won't handle exceptions that occur during elaboration of the
          environment declarative_part.  If we were to move those things
          into a nested block_statement, with the exception_handler
          outside that, then the block_statement would await the library
          tasks we are trying to abort.

30.c
          Furthermore, this is merely a permission, and is not
          fundamental to the model, so it is probably better to state it
          separately anyway.

30.d
          Note that implementations (and tools like debuggers) can have
          modes that provide other behaviors in addition.

     NOTES

31
     8  An implementation may provide inter-partition communication
     mechanism(s) via special packages and pragmas.  Standard pragmas
     for distribution and methods for specifying inter-partition
     communication are defined in *note Annex E::, "*note Annex E::
     Distributed Systems".  If no such mechanisms are provided, then
     each partition is isolated from all others, and behaves as a
     program in and of itself.

31.a
          Ramification: Not providing such mechanisms is equivalent to
          disallowing multi-partition programs.

31.b
          An implementation may provide mechanisms to facilitate
          checking the consistency of library units elaborated in
          different partitions; *note Annex E::, "*note Annex E::
          Distributed Systems" does so.

32
     9  Partitions are not required to run in separate address spaces.
     For example, an implementation might support dynamic linking via
     the partition concept.

33
     10  An order of elaboration of library_items that is consistent
     with the partial ordering defined above does not always ensure that
     each library_unit_body is elaborated before any other compilation
     unit whose elaboration necessitates that the library_unit_body be
     already elaborated.  (In particular, there is no requirement that
     the body of a library unit be elaborated as soon as possible after
     the library_unit_declaration is elaborated, unless the pragmas in
     subclause *note 10.2.1:: are used.)

34
     11  A partition (active or otherwise) need not have a main
     subprogram.  In such a case, all the work done by the partition
     would be done by elaboration of various library_items, and by tasks
     created by that elaboration.  Passive partitions, which cannot have
     main subprograms, are defined in *note Annex E::, "*note Annex E::
     Distributed Systems".

34.a
          Ramification: The environment task is the outermost semantic
          level defined by the language.

34.b
          Standard has no private part.  This prevents strange
          implementation-dependences involving private children of
          Standard having visibility upon Standard's private part.  It
          doesn't matter where the body of Standard appears in the
          environment, since it doesn't do anything.  See *note Annex
          A::, "*note Annex A:: Predefined Language Environment".

34.c
          Note that elaboration dependence is carefully defined in such
          a way that if (say) the body of something doesn't exist yet,
          then there is no elaboration dependence upon the nonexistent
          body.  (This follows from the fact that "needed by" is defined
          that way, and the elaboration dependences caused by a pragma
          Elaborate or Elaborate_All are defined in terms of "needed
          by".)  This property allows us to use the environment concept
          both at compile time and at partition-construction time/run
          time.

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

34.d
          The concept of partitions is new to Ada 95.

34.e
          A main subprogram is now optional.  The language-defined
          restrictions on main subprograms are relaxed.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

34.f
          Ada 95 uses the term "main subprogram" instead of Ada 83's
          "main program" (which was inherited from Pascal).  This is
          done to avoid confusion -- a main subprogram is a subprogram,
          not a program.  The program as a whole is an entirely
          different thing.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

34.g/2
          {<AI95-00256-01AI95-00256-01>} The mistaken use of "mentions"
          in the elaboration dependence rule was fixed.

34.h/2
          {<AI95-00217-06AI95-00217-06>} The <needs> relationship was
          extended to include limited views.

* 10.2.1 ::   Elaboration Control


File: aarm2012.info,  Node: 10.2.1,  Up: 10.2

10.2.1 Elaboration Control
--------------------------

1
[ This subclause defines pragmas that help control the elaboration order
of library_items.]

                     _Language Design Principles_

1.a
          The rules governing preelaboration are designed to allow it to
          be done largely by bulk initialization of statically allocated
          storage from information in a "load module" created by a
          linker.  Some implementations may require run-time code to be
          executed in some cases, but we consider these cases rare
          enough that we need not further complicate the rules.

1.b
          It is important that programs be able to declare data
          structures that are link-time initialized with aggregates,
          string_literals, and concatenations thereof.  It is important
          to be able to write link-time evaluated expressions involving
          the First, Last, and Length attributes of such data structures
          (including variables), because they might be initialized with
          positional aggregates or string_literals, and we don't want
          the user to have to count the elements.  There is no
          corresponding need for accessing discriminants, since they can
          be initialized with a static constant, and then the constant
          can be referred to elsewhere.  It is important to allow
          link-time initialized data structures involving
          discriminant-dependent components.  It is important to be able
          to write link-time evaluated expressions involving pointers
          (both access values and addresses) to the above-mentioned data
          structures.

1.c
          The rules also ensure that no Elaboration_Check need be
          performed for calls on library-level subprograms declared
          within a preelaborated package.  This is true also of the
          Elaboration_Check on task activation for library level task
          types declared in a preelaborated package.  However, it is not
          true of the Elaboration_Check on instantiations.

1.d
          A static expression should never prevent a library unit from
          being preelaborable.

                               _Syntax_

2
     The form of a pragma Preelaborate is as follows:

3
       pragma Preelaborate[(<library_unit_>name)];

4
     A pragma Preelaborate is a library unit pragma.

4.1/2
     {<AI95-00161-01AI95-00161-01>} The form of a pragma
     Preelaborable_Initialization is as follows:

4.2/2
       pragma Preelaborable_Initialization(direct_name);

                           _Legality Rules_

5
An elaborable construct is preelaborable unless its elaboration performs
any of the following actions:

5.a
          Ramification: A <preelaborable> construct can be elaborated
          without using any information that is available only at run
          time.  Note that we don't try to prevent exceptions in
          preelaborable constructs; if the implementation wishes to
          generate code to raise an exception, that's OK.

5.b
          Because there is no flow of control and there are no calls
          (other than to predefined subprograms), these run-time
          properties can actually be detected at compile time.  This is
          necessary in order to require compile-time enforcement of the
          rules.

6
   * The execution of a statement other than a null_statement.

6.a
          Ramification: A preelaborable construct can contain labels and
          null_statements.

7
   * A call to a subprogram other than a static function.

8
   * The evaluation of a primary that is a name of an object, unless the
     name is a static expression, or statically denotes a discriminant
     of an enclosing type.

8.a
          Ramification: One can evaluate such a name, but not as a
          primary.  For example, one can evaluate an attribute of the
          object.  One can evaluate an attribute_reference, so long as
          it does not denote an object, and its prefix does not disobey
          any of these rules.  For example, Obj'Access,
          Obj'Unchecked_Access, and Obj'Address are generally legal in
          preelaborated library units.

9/3
   * {<AI95-00161-01AI95-00161-01>} {<AI05-0028-1AI05-0028-1>} The
     creation of an object [(including a component)] that is initialized
     by default, if its type does not have preelaborable initialization.
     Similarly, the evaluation of an extension_aggregate (*note 4.3.2:
     S0111.) with an ancestor subtype_mark (*note 3.2.2: S0028.)
     denoting a subtype of such a type.

9.a
          Ramification: One can declare these kinds of types, but one
          cannot create objects of those types.

9.b
          It is also nonpreelaborable to create an object if that will
          cause the evaluation of a default expression that will call a
          user-defined function.  This follows from the rule above
          forbidding nonnull statements.

10/2
{<AI95-00403-01AI95-00403-01>} A generic body is preelaborable only if
elaboration of a corresponding instance body would not perform any such
actions, presuming that: 

10.1/3
   * {<AI95-00403-01AI95-00403-01>} {<AI95-0028-1AI95-0028-1>} the
     actual for each discriminated formal derived type, formal private
     type, or formal private extension declared within the formal part
     of the generic unit is a type that does not have preelaborable
     initialization, unless pragma Preelaborable_Initialization has been
     applied to the formal type;

10.2/2
   * {<AI95-00403-01AI95-00403-01>} the actual for each formal type is
     nonstatic;

10.3/2
   * {<AI95-00403-01AI95-00403-01>} the actual for each formal object is
     nonstatic; and

10.4/2
   * {<AI95-00403-01AI95-00403-01>} the actual for each formal
     subprogram is a user-defined subprogram.

10.a.1/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00403-01AI95-00403-01>} This is an
          "assume-the-worst" rule.  The elaboration of a generic unit
          doesn't perform any of the actions listed above, because its
          sole effect is to establish that the generic can from now on
          be instantiated.  So the elaboration of the generic itself is
          not the interesting part when it comes to preelaboration
          rules.  The interesting part is what happens when you
          elaborate "any instantiation" of the generic.  For instance,
          declaring an object of a limited formal private type might
          well start tasks, call functions, and do all sorts of
          nonpreelaborable things.  We prevent these situations by
          assuming that the actual parameters are as badly behaved as
          possible.

10.a
          Reason: Without this rule about generics, we would have to
          forbid instantiations in preelaborated library units, which
          would significantly reduce their usefulness.

11/3
{<8652/00358652/0035>} {<AI95-00002-01AI95-00002-01>}
{<AI05-0034-1AI05-0034-1>} {<AI05-0243-1AI05-0243-1>} A pragma
Preelaborate (or pragma Pure -- see below) is used to specify that a
library unit is <preelaborated>, namely that the Preelaborate aspect of
the library unit is True; all compilation units of the library unit are
preelaborated.  The declaration and body of a preelaborated library
unit, and all subunits that are elaborated as part of elaborating the
library unit, shall be preelaborable.  All compilation units of a
preelaborated library unit shall depend semantically only on declared
pure or preelaborated library_items.  In addition to the places where
Legality Rules normally apply (see *note 12.3::), these rules also apply
in the private part of an instance of a generic unit.  [ If a library
unit is preelaborated, then its declaration, if any, and body, if any,
are elaborated prior to all nonpreelaborated library_items of the
partition.]

11.a
          Ramification: In a generic body, we assume the worst about
          formal private types and extensions.

11.a.1/1
          {<8652/00358652/0035>} {<AI95-00002-01AI95-00002-01>} Subunits
          of a preelaborated subprogram unit do not need to be
          preelaborable.  This is needed in order to be consistent with
          units nested in a subprogram body, which do not need to be
          preelaborable even if the subprogram is preelaborated.
          However, such subunits cannot depend semantically on
          nonpreelaborated units, which is also consistent with nested
          units.

11.b/3
          Aspect Description for Preelaborate: Code execution during
          elaboration is avoided for a given package.

11.1/2
{<AI95-00161-01AI95-00161-01>} The following rules specify which
entities have <preelaborable initialization>:

11.2/3
   * {<AI05-0028-1AI05-0028-1>} The partial view of a private type or
     private extension, a protected type without entry_declarations, a
     generic formal private type, or a generic formal derived type, has
     preelaborable initialization if and only if the pragma
     Preelaborable_Initialization has been applied to them.  [A
     protected type with entry_declarations or a task type never has
     preelaborable initialization.]

11.3/2
   * A component (including a discriminant) of a record or protected
     type has preelaborable initialization if its declaration includes a
     default_expression whose execution does not perform any actions
     prohibited in preelaborable constructs as described above, or if
     its declaration does not include a default expression and its type
     has preelaborable initialization.

11.4/3
   * {<AI05-0028-1AI05-0028-1>} {<AI05-0221-1AI05-0221-1>} A derived
     type has preelaborable initialization if its parent type has
     preelaborable initialization and if the noninherited components all
     have preelaborable initialization.  However, a controlled type with
     an Initialize procedure that is not a null procedure does not have
     preelaborable initialization.

11.5/2
   * {<AI95-00161-01AI95-00161-01>} {<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} A
     view of a type has preelaborable initialization if it is an
     elementary type, an array type whose component type has
     preelaborable initialization, a record type whose components all
     have preelaborable initialization, or an interface type.

11.6/2
{<AI95-00161-01AI95-00161-01>} A pragma Preelaborable_Initialization
specifies that a type has preelaborable initialization.  This pragma
shall appear in the visible part of a package or generic package.

11.7/3
{<AI95-00161-01AI95-00161-01>} {<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>}
{<AI05-0028-1AI05-0028-1>} If the pragma appears in the first list of
basic_declarative_items of a package_specification, then the direct_name
shall denote the first subtype of a composite type, and the type shall
be declared immediately within the same package as the pragma.  If the
pragma is applied to a private type or a private extension, the full
view of the type shall have preelaborable initialization.  If the pragma
is applied to a protected type, the protected type shall not have
entries, and each component of the protected type shall have
preelaborable initialization.  For any other composite type, the type
shall have preelaborable initialization.  In addition to the places
where Legality Rules normally apply (see *note 12.3::), these rules
apply also in the private part of an instance of a generic unit.

11.c/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0028-1AI05-0028-1>} The reason why we need the
          pragma for private types, private extensions, and protected
          types is fairly clear: the properties of the full view
          determine whether the type has preelaborable initialization or
          not; in order to preserve privacy we need a way to express on
          the partial view that the full view is well-behaved.  The
          reason why we need the pragma for other composite types is
          more subtle: a nonnull override for Initialize might occur in
          the private part, even for a nonprivate type; in order to
          preserve privacy, we need a way to express on a type declared
          in a visible part that the private part does not contain any
          nasty override of Initialize.

11.8/2
{<AI95-00161-01AI95-00161-01>} If the pragma appears in a
generic_formal_part, then the direct_name shall denote a generic formal
private type or a generic formal derived type declared in the same
generic_formal_part as the pragma.  In a generic_instantiation the
corresponding actual type shall have preelaborable initialization.

11.d/2
          Ramification: Not only do protected types with
          entry_declarations and task types not have preelaborable
          initialization, but they cannot have pragma
          Preelaborable_Initialization applied to them.

                        _Implementation Advice_

12
In an implementation, a type declared in a preelaborated package should
have the same representation in every elaboration of a given version of
the package, whether the elaborations occur in distinct executions of
the same program, or in executions of distinct programs or partitions
that include the given version.

12.a/2
          Implementation Advice: A type declared in a preelaborated
          package should have the same representation in every
          elaboration of a given version of the package.

                               _Syntax_

13
     The form of a pragma Pure is as follows:

14
       pragma Pure[(<library_unit_>name)];

15
     A pragma Pure is a library unit pragma.

                          _Static Semantics_

15.1/3
{<AI95-00366-01AI95-00366-01>} {<AI05-0035-1AI05-0035-1>} A <pure>
compilation unit is a preelaborable compilation unit whose elaboration
does not perform any of the following actions:

15.2/2
   * the elaboration of a variable declaration;

15.3/2
   * the evaluation of an allocator of an access-to-variable type; for
     the purposes of this rule, the partial view of a type is presumed
     to have nonvisible components whose default initialization
     evaluates such an allocator;

15.a.1/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0004-1AI05-0004-1>} Such an allocator would
          provide a backdoor way to get a global variable into a pure
          unit, so it is prohibited.  Most such allocators are illegal
          anyway, as their type is required to have Storage_Size = 0
          (see the next two rules).  But access parameters and access
          discriminants don't necessarily disallow allocators.  However,
          a call is also illegal here (by the preelaboration rules), so
          access parameters cannot cause trouble.  So this rule is
          really about prohibiting allocators in discriminant
          constraints:

15.a.2/3
               type Rec (Acc : access Integer) is record
                   C : Character;
               end record;

15.a.3/3
               Not_Const : constant Rec (Acc => new Integer'(2)); -- <Illegal in a pure unit>.

15.a/3
          {<AI05-0004-1AI05-0004-1>} The second half of the rule is
          needed because aggregates can specify the default
          initialization of a private type or extension using <> or the
          ancestor subtype of an extension aggregate.  The subtype of a
          component could use an allocator to initialize an access
          discriminant; the type still could have a pragma
          Preelaborable_Initialization given.  Ada 95 did not allow such
          private types to have preelaborable initialization, so such a
          default initialization could not have occurred.  Thus this
          rule is not incompatible with Ada 95.

15.4/3
   * {<AI05-0035-1AI05-0035-1>} the elaboration of the declaration of a
     nonderived named access-to-variable type unless the Storage_Size of
     the type has been specified by a static expression with value zero
     or is defined by the language to be zero;

15.b/2
          Discussion: A remote access-to-class-wide type (see *note
          E.2.2::) has its Storage_Size defined to be zero.

15.c/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00366-01AI95-00366-01>} We disallow most named
          access-to-object types because an allocator has a side effect;
          the pool constitutes variable data.  We allow
          access-to-subprogram types because they don't have allocators.
          We even allow named access-to-object types if they have an
          empty predefined pool (they can't have a user-defined pool as
          System.Storage_Pools is not pure).  In this case, most
          attempts to use an allocator are illegal, and any others (in a
          generic body) will raise Storage_Error.

15.5/3
   * {<AI05-0035-1AI05-0035-1>} the elaboration of the declaration of a
     nonderived named access-to-constant type for which the Storage_Size
     has been specified by an expression other than a static expression
     with value zero.

15.d/2
          Discussion: We allow access-to-constant types so long as there
          is no user-specified nonzero Storage_Size; if there were a
          user-specified nonzero Storage_Size restricting the size of
          the storage pool, allocators would be problematic since the
          package is supposedly 'stateless', and the allocated size
          count for the storage pool would represent state.

15.6/3
{<AI05-0035-1AI05-0035-1>} A generic body is pure only if elaboration of
a corresponding instance body would not perform any such actions
presuming any composite formal types have nonvisible components whose
default initialization evaluates an allocator of an access-to-variable
type.

15.7/2
{<AI95-00366-01AI95-00366-01>} The Storage_Size for an anonymous
access-to-variable type declared at library level in a library unit that
is declared pure is defined to be zero.

15.e/2
          Ramification: This makes allocators illegal for such types
          (see *note 4.8::), making a storage pool unnecessary for these
          types.  A storage pool would represent state.

15.f/2
          Note that access discriminants and access parameters are never
          library-level, even when they are declared in a type or
          subprogram declared at library-level.  That's because they
          have their own special accessibility rules (see *note
          3.10.2::).

{<AI05-0035-1AI05-0035-1>} {<AI05-0243-1AI05-0243-1>} A pragma Pure is
used to specify that a library unit is <declared pure>, namely that the
Pure aspect of the library unit is True; all compilation units of the
library unit are declared pure.  In addition, the limited view of any
library package is declared pure.  The declaration and body of a
declared pure library unit, and all subunits that are elaborated as part
of elaborating the library unit, shall be pure.  All compilation units
of a declared pure library unit shall depend semantically only on
declared pure library_items.  In addition to the places where Legality
Rules normally apply (see *note 12.3::), these rules also apply in the
private part of an instance of a generic unit.  Furthermore, the full
view of any partial view declared in the visible part of a declared pure
library unit that has any available stream attributes shall support
external streaming (see *note 13.13.2::).

          <This paragraph was deleted.>{<AI05-0243-1AI05-0243-1>}

17.b
          Discussion: A declared-pure package is useful for defining
          types to be shared between partitions with no common address
          space.

17.c
          Reason: Note that generic packages are not mentioned in the
          list of things that can contain variable declarations.  Note
          that the Ada 95 rules for deferred constants make them
          allowable in library units that are declared pure; that isn't
          true of Ada 83's deferred constants.

17.d/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00366-01AI95-00366-01>} Anonymous access
          types are allowed.

17.d.1/3
          {<AI05-0243-1AI05-0243-1>} A limited view is not a library
          unit, so any rule that starts "declared pure library unit"
          does not apply to a limited view.  In particular, the 3rd and
          last sentences never apply to limited views.  However, a
          limited view is a library_item, so rules that discuss
          "declared pure library_items" do include limited views.

17.e/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00366-01AI95-00366-01>} Ada 95 didn't allow any
          access types as these (including access-to-subprogram types)
          cause trouble for *note Annex E::, "*note Annex E::
          Distributed Systems", because such types allow access values
          in a shared passive partition to designate objects in an
          active partition, thus allowing inter-address space
          references.  We decided to disallow such uses in the
          relatively rare cases where they cause problems, rather than
          making life harder for the majority of users.  Types declared
          in a pure package can be used in remote operations only if
          they are externally streamable.  That simply means that there
          is a means to transport values of the type; that's
          automatically true for nonlimited types that don't have an
          access part.  The only tricky part about this is to avoid
          privacy leakage; that was handled by ensuring that any private
          types (and private extensions) declared in a pure package that
          have available stream attributes (which include all nonlimited
          types by definition) have to be externally streamable.

{<AI12-0076-1AI12-0076-1>} Execution is erroneous if some operation
(other than the initialization or finalization of the object) modifies
the value of a constant object declared at library-level in a pure

17.g/4
          Discussion: This could be accomplished via a self-referencing
          pointer or via squirrelling a writable pointer to a controlled

18/3
{<AI95-00366-01AI95-00366-01>} {<AI05-0219-1AI05-0219-1>} If a library
unit is declared pure, then the implementation is permitted to omit a
call on a library-level subprogram of the library unit if the results
are not needed after the call.  In addition, the implementation may omit
a call on such a subprogram and simply reuse the results produced by an
earlier call on the same subprogram, provided that none of the
parameters nor any object accessible via access values from the
parameters have any part that is of a type whose full type is an
immutably limited type, and the addresses and values of all by-reference
actual parameters, the values of all by-copy-in actual parameters, and
the values of all objects accessible via access values from the
parameters, are the same as they were at the earlier call.  [This
permission applies even if the subprogram produces other side effects
when called.]

          have side effects.  Side effects are still possible via
          dispatching calls and via indirect calls through
          access-to-subprogram values.  Other mechanisms that might be
          used to modify variable state include machine code insertions,
          imported subprograms, and unchecked conversion to an access
          type declared within the subprogram; this list is not
          exhaustive.  Thus, the permissions described in this subclause
          may apply to a subprogram whose execution has side effects.
          The compiler may omit a call to such a subprogram even if side
          effects exist, so the writer of such a subprogram has to keep
          this in mind.

                               _Syntax_

19
     The form of a pragma Elaborate, Elaborate_All, or Elaborate_Body is
     as follows:

20
       pragma Elaborate(<library_unit_>name{, <library_unit_>name});

21
       pragma Elaborate_All(<library_unit_>name{, <library_unit_>name});

22
       pragma Elaborate_Body[(<library_unit_>name)];

23
     A pragma Elaborate or Elaborate_All is only allowed within a
     context_clause.

23.a
          Ramification: "Within a context_clause" allows it to be the
          last item in the context_clause.  It can't be first, because
          the name has to denote something mentioned earlier.

24
     A pragma Elaborate_Body is a library unit pragma.

24.a
          Discussion: Hence, a pragma Elaborate or Elaborate_All is not
          elaborated, not that it makes any practical difference.

24.b
          Note that a pragma Elaborate or Elaborate_All is neither a
          program unit pragma, nor a library unit pragma.

                           _Legality Rules_

25/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} If the aspect Elaborate_Body is True for a
declaration [(including when pragma Elaborate_Body applies)], then the
declaration requires a completion [(a body)].

25.a/3
          Proof: {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} Pragma Elaborate_Body sets
          the aspect (see below).

25.1/2
{<AI95-00217-06AI95-00217-06>} The <library_unit_>name of a pragma
Elaborate or Elaborate_All shall denote a nonlimited view of a library
unit.

25.b/2
          Reason: These pragmas are intended to prevent elaboration
          check failures.  But a limited view does not make anything
          visible that has an elaboration check, so the pragmas cannot
          do anything useful.  Moreover, the pragmas would probably
          reintroduce the circularity that the limited_with_clause was
          intended to break.  So we make such uses illegal.

                          _Static Semantics_

26/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} [A pragma Elaborate specifies that the body
of the named library unit is elaborated before the current library_item.
A pragma Elaborate_All specifies that each library_item that is needed
by the named library unit declaration is elaborated before the current
library_item.]

26.a
          Proof: The official statement of the semantics of these
          pragmas is given in *note 10.2::.

26.1/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} A pragma Elaborate_Body sets the
Elaborate_Body representation aspect of the library unit to which it
applies to the value True.  [If the Elaborate_Body aspect of a library
unit is True, the body of the library unit is elaborated immediately
after its declaration.]

26.a.1/3
          Proof: The official statement of the semantics of this aspect
          is given in *note 10.2::.

26.b
          Implementation Note: The presence of a pragma Elaborate_Body
          simplifies the removal of unnecessary Elaboration_Checks.  For
          a subprogram declared immediately within a library unit to
          which a pragma Elaborate_Body applies, the only calls that can
          fail the Elaboration_Check are those that occur in the library
          unit itself, between the declaration and body of the called
          subprogram; if there are no such calls (which can easily be
          detected at compile time if there are no stubs), then no
          Elaboration_Checks are needed for that subprogram.  The same
          is true for Elaboration_Checks on task activations and
          instantiations, and for library subprograms and generic units.

26.c
          Ramification: The fact that the unit of elaboration is the
          library_item means that if a subprogram_body is not a
          completion, it is impossible for any library_item to be
          elaborated between the declaration and the body of such a
          subprogram.  Therefore, it is impossible for a call to such a
          subprogram to fail its Elaboration_Check.

26.d
          Discussion: The visibility rules imply that each
          <library_unit_>name of a pragma Elaborate or Elaborate_All has
          to denote a library unit mentioned by a previous with_clause
          of the same context_clause.

26.e/3
          Aspect Description for Elaborate_Body: A given package must
          have a body, and that body is elaborated immediately after the
          declaration.

     NOTES

27
     12  A preelaborated library unit is allowed to have
     nonpreelaborable children.

27.a/1
          Ramification: {<8652/00358652/0035>}
          {<AI95-00002-01AI95-00002-01>} But generally not
          nonpreelaborated subunits.  (Nonpreelaborated subunits of
          subprograms are allowed as discussed above.)

28
     13  A library unit that is declared pure is allowed to have impure
     children.

28.a/1
          Ramification: {<8652/00358652/0035>}
          {<AI95-00002-01AI95-00002-01>} But generally not impure
          subunits.  (Impure subunits of subprograms are allowed as
          discussed above.)

28.b
          Ramification: Pragma Elaborate is mainly for closely related
          library units, such as when two package bodies 'with' each
          other's declarations.  In such cases, Elaborate_All sometimes
          won't work.

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

28.c
          The concepts of preelaborability and purity are new to Ada 95.
          The Elaborate_All, Elaborate_Body, Preelaborate, and Pure
          pragmas are new to Ada 95.

28.d
          Pragmas Elaborate are allowed to be mixed in with the other
          things in the context_clause -- in Ada 83, they were required
          to appear last.

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 95_

28.e/2
          {<AI95-00366-01AI95-00366-01>} The requirement that a partial
          view with available stream attributes be externally streamable
          can cause an incompatibility in rare cases.  If there is a
          limited tagged type declared in a pure package with available
          attributes, and that type is used to declare a private
          extension in another pure package, and the full type for the
          private extension has a component of an explicitly limited
          record type, a protected type, or a type with access
          discriminants, then the stream attributes will have to be
          user-specified in the visible part of the package.  That is
          not a requirement for Ada 95, but this combination seems very
          unlikely in pure packages.  Note that this cannot be an
          incompatibility for a nonlimited type, as all of the types
          that are allowed in Ada 95 that would require explicitly
          defined stream attributes are limited (and thus cannot be used
          as components in a nonlimited type).

28.f/2
          {<AI95-00403-01AI95-00403-01>} Amendment Correction: Added
          wording to cover missing cases for preelaborated generic
          units.  This is incompatible as a preelaborated unit could
          have used a formal object to initialize a library-level
          object; that isn't allowed in Ada 2005.  But such a unit
          wouldn't really be preelaborable, and Ada 95 compilers can
          reject such units (as this is a Binding Interpretation), so
          such units should be very rare.

                        _Extensions to Ada 95_

28.g/2
          {<AI95-00161-01AI95-00161-01>} Amendment Correction: The
          concept of preelaborable initialization and pragma
          Preelaborable_Initialization are new.  These allow more types
          of objects to be created in preelaborable units, and fix holes
          in the old rules.

28.h/2
          {<AI95-00366-01AI95-00366-01>} Access-to-subprogram types and
          access-to-object types with a Storage_Size of 0 are allowed in
          pure units.  The permission to omit calls was adjusted
          accordingly (which also fixes a hole in Ada 95, as access
          parameters are allowed, and changes in the values accessed by
          them must be taken into account).

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

28.i/2
          {<AI95-00002-01AI95-00002-01>} Corrigendum: The wording was
          changed so that subunits of a preelaborated subprogram are
          also preelaborated.

28.j/2
          {<AI95-00217-06AI95-00217-06>} Disallowed pragma Elaborate and
          Elaborate_All for packages that are mentioned in a
          limited_with_clause.

                   _Incompatibilities With Ada 2005_

28.k/3
          {<AI05-0028-1AI05-0028-1>} Correction: Corrected a serious
          unintended incompatibility with Ada 95 in the new
          preelaboration wording -- explicit initialization of objects
          of types that don't have preelaborable initialization was not
          allowed.  Ada 2012 switches back to the Ada 95 rule in these
          cases.  This is unlikely to occur in practice, as it is
          unlikely that a compiler would have implemented the more
          restrictive rule (it would fail many ACATS tests if it did).

28.l/3
          {<AI05-0035-1AI05-0035-1>} Correction: Added an
          assume-the-worst rule for generic bodies (else they would
          never be checked for purity) and added the boilerplate so that
          the entire generic specification is rechecked.  Also fixed
          wording to have consistent handling for subunits for Pure and
          Preelaborate.  An Ada 95 program could have depended on
          marking a generic pure that was not really pure, although this
          would defeat the purpose of the categorization and likely
          cause problems with distributed programs.

                       _Extensions to Ada 2005_

28.m/3
          {<AI05-0035-1AI05-0035-1>} Correction: Adjusted wording so
          that a subunit can be pure (it is not a library_item, but it
          is a compilation unit).

28.n/3
          {<AI05-0035-1AI05-0035-1>} Correction: Adjusted wording so
          that the rules for access types only apply to nonderived types
          (derived types share their storage pool with their parent, so
          if the parent access type is legal, so is any derived type.)

28.o/3
          {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} Elaborate_Body is now an aspect, so
          it can be specified by an aspect_specification -- although the
          pragma is still preferred by the Standard.

28.p/3
          {<AI05-0243-1AI05-0243-1>} Pure and Preelaborate are now
          aspects, so they can be specified by an aspect_specification
          -- although the pragmas are still preferred by the Standard.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

28.q/3
          {<AI05-0034-1AI05-0034-1>} Correction: Added wording so that a
          limited view is always treated as pure, no matter what
          categorization is used for the originating unit.  This was
          undefined in Ada 2005.

28.r/3
          {<AI05-0028-1AI05-0028-1>} {<AI05-0221-1AI05-0221-1>}
          Correction: Fixed minor issues with preelaborable
          initialization (PI): null Initialize procedures do not make a
          type non-PI; formal types with pragma PI can be assumed to
          have PI; formal extensions are assumed to not have PI; all
          composite types can have pragma PI (so that the possibility of
          hidden Initialize routines can be handled); added
          discriminants of a derived type are not considered in
          calculating PI.

28.s/3
          {<AI05-0219-1AI05-0219-1>} Correction: Clarified that the
          implementation permission to omit pure subprogram calls does
          not apply if any part of the parameters or any designated
          object has a part that is immutably limited.  The old wording
          just said "limited type", which can change via visibility and
          thus isn't appropriate for dynamic semantics permissions.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2012_

28.t/4
          {<AI12-0076-1AI12-0076-1>} Corrigendum: Explicitly stated that
          modifying a library-level constant in a pure package is
          erroneous.  We don't document this as inconsistent as
          implementations certainly can still do whatever they were
          previously doing (no change is required); moreover, this case
          (and many more) were erroneous in Ada 2005 and before, so
          we're just restoring the previous semantics.

11 Exceptions
*************

1/3
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} [This clause defines the facilities for
dealing with errors or other exceptional situations that arise during
program execution.]  An <exception> represents a kind of exceptional
situation; an occurrence of such a situation (at run time) is called an
<exception occurrence>.  [ To <raise> an exception is to abandon normal
program execution so as to draw attention to the fact that the
corresponding situation has arisen.  Performing some actions in response
to the arising of an exception is called <handling> the exception.  ]

1.a

          beyond end-of-file.  During the execution of a partition,
          there might be numerous occurrences of this exception.

1.c

          We are more explicit about the difference between an exception
          and an occurrence of an exception.  This is necessary because
          we now have a type (Exception_Occurrence) that represents
          exception occurrences, so the program can manipulate them.
          Furthermore, we say that when an exception is propagated, it
          is the same occurrence that is being propagated (as opposed to
          a new occurrence of the same exception).  The same issue
          applies to a re-raise statement.  In order to understand these
          semantics, we have to make this distinction.

11.1 Exception Declarations
===========================

1
An exception_declaration declares a name for an exception.

                               _Syntax_

2/3
     {<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>} exception_declaration ::=
     defining_identifier_list : exception
        [aspect_specification];

                          _Static Semantics_

3
Each single exception_declaration declares a name for a different
exception.  If a generic unit includes an exception_declaration, the
exception_declarations implicitly generated by different instantiations
of the generic unit refer to distinct exceptions (but all have the same
defining_identifier).  The particular exception denoted by an exception
name is determined at compilation time and is the same regardless of how
many times the exception_declaration is elaborated.

3.a
          Reason: We considered removing this requirement inside generic
          bodies, because it is an implementation burden for
          implementations that wish to share code among several
          instances.  In the end, it was decided that it would introduce
          too much implementation dependence.

3.b
          Ramification: Hence, if an exception_declaration occurs in a
          recursive subprogram, the exception name denotes the same
          exception for all invocations of the recursive subprogram.
          The reason for this rule is that we allow an exception
          occurrence to propagate out of its declaration's innermost
          containing master; if exceptions were created by their
          declarations like other entities, they would presumably be
          destroyed upon leaving the master; we would have to do
          something special to prevent them from propagating to places
          where they no longer exist.

3.c
          Ramification: Exception identities are unique across all
          partitions of a program.

4
The <predefined> exceptions are the ones declared in the declaration of
package Standard: Constraint_Error, Program_Error, Storage_Error, and
Tasking_Error[; one of them is raised when a language-defined check
fails.]

4.a
          Ramification: The exceptions declared in the language-defined
          package IO_Exceptions, for example, are not predefined.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

5
The elaboration of an exception_declaration has no effect.

6
The execution of any construct raises Storage_Error if there is
insufficient storage for that execution.  The amount of storage needed
for the execution of constructs is unspecified.

6.a
          Ramification: Note that any execution whatsoever can raise
          Storage_Error.  This allows much implementation freedom in
          storage management.

                              _Examples_

7
<Examples of user-defined exception declarations:>

8
     Singular : exception;
     Error    : exception;
     Overflow, Underflow : exception;

                     _Inconsistencies With Ada 83_

8.a
          The exception Numeric_Error is now defined in the Obsolescent
          features Annex, as a rename of Constraint_Error.  All checks
          that raise Numeric_Error in Ada 83 instead raise
          Constraint_Error in Ada 95.  To increase upward compatibility,
          we also changed the rules to allow the same exception to be
          named more than once by a given handler.  Thus, "when
          Constraint_Error | Numeric_Error =>" will remain legal in Ada
          95, even though Constraint_Error and Numeric_Error now denote
          the same exception.  However, it will not be legal to have
          separate handlers for Constraint_Error and Numeric_Error.
          This change is inconsistent in the rare case that an existing
          program explicitly raises Numeric_Error at a point where there
          is a handler for Constraint_Error; the exception will now be
          caught by that handler.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

8.b
          We explicitly define elaboration for exception_declarations.

                       _Extensions to Ada 2005_

8.c/3
          {<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>} An optional aspect_specification

[The response to one or more exceptions is specified by an
exception_handler.]

     handled_sequence_of_statements ::=
          sequence_of_statements
       [exception
          exception_handler
         {exception_handler}]

3
     exception_handler ::=

4
     choice_parameter_specification ::= defining_identifier

5
     exception_choice ::= <exception_>name | others

5.a
          To be honest: "<Handler>" is an abbreviation for
          "exception_handler."

5.b/3
          {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} Within this clause, we sometimes
          abbreviate "exception_choice" to "<choice>."

                           _Legality Rules_

5.1/4
{<AI12-0022-1AI12-0022-1>} An <exception_>name of an exception_choice
shall denote an exception.

6
A choice with an <exception_>name <covers> the named exception.  A
choice with others covers all exceptions not named by previous choices
of the same handled_sequence_of_statements (*note 11.2: S0265.).  Two
choices in different exception_handlers of the same
handled_sequence_of_statements (*note 11.2: S0265.) shall not cover the
same exception.

6.a
          Ramification: Two exception_choices of the same
          exception_handler may cover the same exception.  For example,
          given two renaming declarations in separate packages for the
          same exception, one may nevertheless write, for example, "when
          Ada.Text_IO.Data_Error | My_Seq_IO.Data_Error =>".

6.b
          An others choice even covers exceptions that are not visible
          at the place of the handler.  Since exception raising is a
          dynamic activity, it is entirely possible for an others
          handler to handle an exception that it could not have named.

7
A choice with others is allowed only for the last handler of a
handled_sequence_of_statements and as the only choice of that handler.

8
An <exception_>name of a choice shall not denote an exception declared
in a generic formal package.

8.a
          Reason: This is because the compiler doesn't know the identity
          of such an exception, and thus can't enforce the coverage
          rules.

                          _Static Semantics_

9
A choice_parameter_specification declares a <choice parameter>, which is
a constant object of type Exception_Occurrence (see *note 11.4.1::).
During the handling of an exception occurrence, the choice parameter, if
any, of the handler represents the exception occurrence that is being
handled.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

10
The execution of a handled_sequence_of_statements consists of the
execution of the sequence_of_statements (*note 5.1: S0145.).  [The
optional handlers are used to handle any exceptions that are propagated
by the sequence_of_statements (*note 5.1: S0145.).]

                              _Examples_

11
<Example of an exception handler:>

12
     begin
        Open(File, In_File, "input.txt");   --< see *note A.8.2::>
     exception
        when E : Name_Error =>
           Put("Cannot open input file : ");
           Put_Line(Exception_Message(E));  --< see *note 11.4.1::>
           raise;
     end;

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

12.a
          The syntax rule for exception_handler is modified to allow a
          choice_parameter_specification.

12.b/2
          {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} Different exception_choices of
          the same exception_handler may cover the same exception.  This
          allows for "when Numeric_Error | Constraint_Error =>" even
          though Numeric_Error is a rename of Constraint_Error.  This
          also allows one to "with" two different I/O packages, and then
          write, for example, "when Ada.Text_IO.Data_Error |
          My_Seq_IO.Data_Error =>" even though these might both be
          renames of the same exception.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

12.c
          The syntax rule for handled_sequence_of_statements is new.
          These are now used in all the places where handlers are
          allowed.  This obviates the need to explain (in Clauses 5, 6,
          7, and 9) what portions of the program are handled by the
          handlers.  Note that there are more such cases in Ada 95.

12.d
          The syntax rule for choice_parameter_specification is new.

11.3 Raise Statements and Raise Expressions
===========================================

1
[A raise_statement raises an exception.]

                               _Syntax_

2/2
     {<AI95-00361-01AI95-00361-01>} raise_statement ::= raise;
           | raise <exception_>name [with <string_>expression];

2.1/4
     {<AI12-0022-1AI12-0022-1>} {<AI12-0152-1AI12-0152-1>}
     raise_expression ::= raise <exception_>name [with <string_>
     simple_expression]

2.2/4
     {<AI12-0152-1AI12-0152-1>} If a raise_expression appears within the
     expression of one of the following contexts, the raise_expression
     shall appear within a pair of parentheses within the expression:

2.3/4
        * object_declaration;

2.4/4
        * modular_type_definition;

2.5/4
        * floating_point_definition;

2.6/4
        * ordinary_fixed_point_definition;

2.7/4
        * decimal_fixed_point_definition;

2.8/4
        * default_expression;

2.9/4
        * ancestor_part.

2.a.1/4
          Reason: Unlike conditional expressions, this doesn't say
          "immediately surrounded"; the only requirement is that it is
          somehow within a pair of parentheses that is part of the
          expression.  We need this restriction in order that
          raise_expressions cannot be syntactically confused with
          immediately following constructs (such as
          aspect_specifications).

2.a.2/4
          Discussion: We only need to require that a right parenthesis
          appear somewhere between the raise_expression and the
          surrounding context; that's all we need to specify in order to
          eliminate the ambiguities.  Moreover, we don't care at all
          where the left parenthesis is (so long as it is legal, of
          course).

2.a.3/4
          For instance, the following is illegal by this rule:

2.a.4/4
               Obj : Boolean := Func_Call or else raise TBD_Error with Atomic;

2.a.5/4
          as the "with Atomic" could be part of the raise_expression or
          part of the object declaration.  Both of the following are
          legal:

2.a.6/4
               Obj : Boolean := Func_Call or else (raise TBD_Error) with Atomic;
               Obj : Boolean := (Func_Call or else raise TBD_Error) with Atomic;

2.a.7/4
          and if the with belongs to the raise_expression, then both of
          the following are legal:

2.a.8/4
               Obj : Boolean := Func_Call or else (raise TBD_Error with Atomic);
               Obj : Boolean := (Func_Call or else raise TBD_Error with Atomic);

2.a.9/4
          This rule only requires parentheses for raise_expressions that
          are part of the "top-level" of an expression in one of the
          named contexts; the raise_expression is either the entire
          expression, or part of a chain of logical operations.  In
          practice, the raise_expression will almost always be last in
          interesting top-level expressions; anything that follows it
          could never be executed, so that should be rare.  Other
          contexts such as conditional expressions, qualified
          expressions, aggregates, and even function calls, provide the
          needed parentheses.  All of the following are legal, no
          additional parens are needed:

2.a.10/4
               Pre : Boolean  := (if not Is_Valid(Param) then raise Not_Valid_Error);
               A : A_Tagged   := (Some_Tagged'(raise TBD_Error) with Comp => 'A');
               B : Some_Array := (1, 2, 3, others => raise Not_Valid_Error);
               C : Natural    := Func (Val => raise TBD_Error);

2.a.11/4
          Parentheses that are part of the context of the expression
          don't count.  For instance, the parentheses around the
          raise_expression are required in the following:

2.a.12/4
               D : A_Tagged   := ((raise TBD_Error) with Comp => 'A');

2.a.13/4
          as ancestor_part is one of the contexts that triggers the
          rule.

2.a.14/4
          This English-language rule could have been implemented instead
          by adding nonterminals initial_expression and
          initial_relation, which are the same as choice_expression and
          choice_relation except for the inclusion of membership in
          initial_relation.  Then, initial_expresion could be used in
          place of expression in all of the contexts noted.  We did not
          do that because of the large amount of change required, both
          to the grammar and to language rules that refer to the
          grammar.  A complete grammar is given in
          AI12-0152-1AI12-0152-1.

2.a.15/4
          The use of a raise_expression is illegal in each of
          modular_type_definition, floating_point_definition,
          ordinary_fixed_point_definition, and
          decimal_fixed_point_definition as these uses are required to
          be static and a raise_expression is never static.  We include
          these in this rule so that Ada text has an unambiguous syntax
          in these cases.

{<AI12-0022-1AI12-0022-1>} {<AI12-0159-1AI12-0159-1>} The
<exception_>name, if any, of a raise_statement or raise_expression shall
denote an exception.  A raise_statement with no <exception_>name (that

{<AI12-0152-1AI12-0152-1>} To <raise an exception> is to raise a new
occurrence of that exception[, as explained in *note 11.4::].  For the
execution of a raise_statement with an <exception_>name, the named
exception is raised.  Similarly, for the evaluation of a
raise_expression, the named exception is raised.  [In both of these
cases, if a <string_>expression or <string_>simple_expression is
present, the expression is evaluated and its value is associated with
the exception occurrence.]  For the execution of a re-raise statement,
the exception occurrence that caused transfer of control to the
innermost enclosing handler is raised [again].

4.a.1/2
          Proof: {<AI95-00361-01AI95-00361-01>} The definition of
          Exceptions.Exception_Message includes a statement that the
          string is returned (see *note 11.4.1::).  We describe the use
          of the string here so that we don't have an unexplained
          parameter in this subclause.

4.a
          Implementation Note: For a re-raise statement, the
          implementation does not create a new Exception_Occurrence, but
          instead propagates the same Exception_Occurrence value.  This
          allows the original cause of the exception to be determined.

     NOTES

     exception, that exception is propagated instead of the one denoted
     by the <exception_>name of the raise_statement or raise_expression.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

7.a
          The fact that the name in a raise_statement has to denote an
          exception is not clear from RM83.  Clearly that was the
          intent, since the italicized part of the syntax rules so
          indicate, but there was no explicit rule.  RM83-1.5(11)
          doesn't seem to give the italicized parts of the syntax any
          force.

                        _Extensions to Ada 95_

7.b/2
          {<AI95-00361-01AI95-00361-01>} The syntax of a raise_statement
          is extended to include a string message.  This is more
          convenient than calling Exceptions.Exception_Message
          (<exception_>name'Identity, <string_>expression), and should
          encourage the use of message strings when raising exceptions.

7.c/4
          {<AI12-0022-1AI12-0022-1>} {<AI12-0152-1AI12-0152-1>}
          {<AI12-0159-1AI12-0159-1>} Corrigendum: The raise_expression
          is new.  This construct is necessary to allow conversion of
          existing specifications to use preconditions and predicates
          without changing the exceptions raised.  It is considered
          important enough to be added to Ada 2012 rather than waiting
          for Ada 202x.

11.4 Exception Handling
=======================

1
[When an exception occurrence is raised, normal program execution is
abandoned and control is transferred to an applicable exception_handler,
if any.  To <handle> an exception occurrence is to respond to the
exceptional event.  To <propagate> an exception occurrence is to raise
it again in another context; that is, to fail to respond to the
exceptional event in the present context.]

1.a
          Ramification: In other words, if the execution of a given
          construct raises an exception, but does not handle it, the
          exception is propagated to an enclosing execution (except in
          the case of a task_body).

1.b/1
          Propagation involves re-raising the same exception occurrence.
          For example, calling an entry of an uncallable task raises
          Tasking_Error; this is not propagation.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

2
Within a given task, if the execution of construct <a> is defined by
this International Standard to consist (in part) of the execution of
construct <b>, then while <b> is executing, the execution of <a> is said
to <dynamically enclose> the execution of <b>.  The <innermost
dynamically enclosing> execution of a given execution is the dynamically
enclosing execution that started most recently.

2.a
          To be honest: If the execution of <a> dynamically encloses
          that of <b>, then we also say that the execution of <b> is
          <included in> the execution of <a>.

2.b
          Ramification: Examples: The execution of an if_statement
          dynamically encloses the evaluation of the condition after the
          if (during that evaluation).  (Recall that "execution"
          includes both "elaboration" and "evaluation", as well as other
          executions.)  The evaluation of a function call dynamically
          encloses the execution of the sequence_of_statements of the
          function body (during that execution).  Note that, due to
          recursion, several simultaneous executions of the same
          construct can be occurring at once during the execution of a
          particular task.

2.c
          Dynamically enclosing is not defined across task boundaries; a
          task's execution does not include the execution of any other
          tasks.

2.d
          Dynamically enclosing is only defined for executions that are
          occurring at a given moment in time; if an if_statement is
          currently executing the sequence_of_statements after then,
          then the evaluation of the condition is no longer dynamically
          enclosed by the execution of the if_statement (or anything
          else).

3
When an exception occurrence is raised by the execution of a given
construct, the rest of the execution of that construct is <abandoned>;
that is, any portions of the execution that have not yet taken place are
not performed.  The construct is first completed, and then left, as
explained in *note 7.6.1::.  Then:

4
   * If the construct is a task_body, the exception does not propagate
     further;

4.a
          Ramification: When an exception is raised by the execution of
          a task_body, there is no dynamically enclosing execution, so
          the exception does not propagate any further.  If the
          exception occurred during the activation of the task, then the
          activator raises Tasking_Error, as explained in *note 9.2::,
          "*note 9.2:: Task Execution - Task Activation", but we don't
          define that as propagation; it's a special rule.  Otherwise
          (the exception occurred during the execution of the
          handled_sequence_of_statements of the task), the task silently
          disappears.  Thus, abnormal termination of tasks is not always
          considered to be an error.

5
   * If the construct is the sequence_of_statements of a
     handled_sequence_of_statements that has a handler with a choice
     covering the exception, the occurrence is handled by that handler;

6
   * Otherwise, the occurrence is <propagated> to the innermost
     dynamically enclosing execution, which means that the occurrence is
     raised again in that context.

6.a
          To be honest: As shorthands, we refer to the <propagation of
          an exception>, and the <propagation by a construct>, if the
          execution of the construct propagates an exception occurrence.

7
When an occurrence is <handled> by a given handler, the
choice_parameter_specification, if any, is first elaborated, which
creates the choice parameter and initializes it to the occurrence.
Then, the sequence_of_statements of the handler is executed; this
execution replaces the abandoned portion of the execution of the
sequence_of_statements.

7.a/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>} This
          "replacement" semantics implies that the handler can do pretty
          much anything the abandoned sequence could do; for example, in
          a function, the handler can execute a return statement that
          applies to the function.

7.b
          Ramification: The rules for exceptions raised in library
          units, main subprograms and partitions follow from the normal
          rules, plus the semantics of the environment task described in
          Clause *note 10:: (for example, the environment task of a
          partition elaborates library units and calls the main
          subprogram).  If an exception is propagated by the main
          subprogram, it is propagated to the environment task, which
          then terminates abnormally, causing the partition to terminate
          abnormally.  Although abnormal termination of tasks is not
          necessarily an error, abnormal termination of a partition due
          to an exception <is> an error.

     NOTES

8
     2  Note that exceptions raised in a declarative_part of a body are
     not handled by the handlers of the handled_sequence_of_statements
     (*note 11.2: S0265.) of that body.

For a prefix E that denotes an exception, the following attribute is
defined:

E'Identity
               E'Identity returns the unique identity of the exception.
               The type of this attribute is Exception_Id.

9.a
          Ramification: In a distributed program, the identity is unique
          across an entire program, not just across a single partition.
          Exception propagation works properly across RPC's.  An
          exception can be propagated from one partition to another, and
          then back to the first, where its identity is known.

an occurrence raised by a call to Raise_Exception, the message is the
Message parameter passed to Raise_Exception.  For the occurrence raised
by a raise_statement or raise_expression with an <exception_>name and a
<string_>expression or <string_>simple_expression, the message is the
<string_>expression or <string_>simple_expression.  For the occurrence
raised by a raise_statement or raise_expression with an <exception_>name
but without a <string_>expression or <string_>simple_expression, the
message is a string giving implementation-defined information about the
exception occurrence.  For an occurrence originally raised in some other
manner (including by the failure of a language-defined check), the
message is an unspecified string.  In all cases, Exception_Message
returns a string with lower bound 1.

14.a.2/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00446-01AI95-00446-01>} Raise_Exception was
          changed so that it always raises an exception and thus can be
          a No_Return procedure.  A similar change was not made for
          Reraise_Occurrence, as doing so was determined to be a
          significant incompatibility.  It is not unusual to pass an
          Exception_Occurrence to other code to delay raising it.  If
          there was no exception, passing Null_Occurrence works fine
          (nothing is raised).  Moreover, as there is no test for
          Null_Occurrence in Ada 95, this is the only way to write such
          code without using additional flags.  Breaking this sort of
          code is unacceptable.

15
The Save_Occurrence procedure copies the Source to the Target.  The
Save_Occurrence function uses an allocator of type
Exception_Occurrence_Access to create a new object, copies the Source to
this new object, and returns an access value designating this new
object; [the result may be deallocated using an instance of
Unchecked_Deallocation.]

15.a
          Ramification: It's OK to pass Null_Occurrence to the
          Save_Occurrence subprograms; they don't raise an exception,
          but simply save the Null_Occurrence.

15.1/2
{<AI95-00438-01AI95-00438-01>} Write_Exception_Occurrence writes a

15.d/2
          The string returned by Exception_Name or Exception_Message on
          the result of calling the Read attribute on a given stream has
          to be the same as the value returned by calling the
          corresponding function on the exception occurrence that was
          written into the stream with the Write attribute.  The string
          returned by Exception_Information need not be the same, since
          it is implementation defined anyway.

15.e/2
          Reason: This is important for supporting writing exception
          occurrences to external files for post-mortem analysis, as
          well as propagating exceptions across remote subprogram calls
          in a distributed system (see *note E.4::).

<Paragraph 16 was deleted.>

                     _Implementation Permissions_

17
An implementation of Exception_Name in a space-constrained environment
may return the defining_identifier (*note 3.1: S0022.) instead of the
full expanded name.

18
The string returned by Exception_Message may be truncated (to no less
than 200 characters) by the Save_Occurrence procedure [(not the
function)], the Reraise_Occurrence procedure, and the re-raise
statement.

18.a
          Reason: The reason for allowing truncation is to ease
          implementations.  The reason for choosing the number 200 is
          that this is the minimum source line length that
          implementations have to support, and this feature seems
          vaguely related since it's usually a "one-liner".  Note that
          an implementation is allowed to do this truncation even if it
          supports arbitrarily long lines.

                        _Implementation Advice_

19
Exception_Message (by default) and Exception_Information should produce
information useful for debugging.  Exception_Message should be short
(about one line), whereas Exception_Information can be long.
Exception_Message should not include the Exception_Name.
Exception_Information should include both the Exception_Name and the
Exception_Message.

19.a.1/2
          Implementation Advice: Exception_Information should provide
          information useful for debugging, and should include the
          Exception_Name and Exception_Message.

19.a.2/2
          Implementation Advice: Exception_Message by default should be
          short, provide information useful for debugging, and should
          not include the Exception_Name.

19.a
          Reason: It may seem strange to define two subprograms whose
          semantics is implementation defined.  The idea is that a
          program can print out debugging/error-logging information in a
          portable way.  The program is portable in the sense that it
          will work in any implementation; it might print out different
          information, but the presumption is that the information
          printed out is appropriate for debugging/error analysis on
          that system.

19.b
          Implementation Note: As an example, Exception_Information
          might include information identifying the location where the
          exception occurred, and, for predefined exceptions, the
          specific kind of language-defined check that failed.  There is
          an implementation trade-off here, between how much information
          is represented in an Exception_Occurrence, and how much can be
          passed through a re-raise.

19.c
          The string returned should be in a form suitable for printing
          to an error log file.  This means that it might need to
          contain line-termination control characters with
          implementation-defined I/O semantics.  The string should
          neither start nor end with a newline.

19.d
          If an implementation chooses to provide additional
          functionality related to exceptions and their occurrences, it
          should do so by providing one or more children of
          Ada.Exceptions.

19.e
          Note that exceptions behave as if declared at library level;
          there is no "natural scope" for an exception; an exception
          always exists.  Hence, there is no harm in saving an exception
          occurrence in a data structure, and reraising it later.  The
          reraise has to occur as part of the same program execution, so
          saving an exception occurrence in a file, reading it back in
          from a different program execution, and then reraising it is
          not required to work.  This is similar to I/O of access types.
          Note that it is possible to use RPC to propagate exceptions
          across partitions.

19.f
          Here's one way to implement Exception_Occurrence in the
          private part of the package.  Using this method, an
          implementation need store only the actual number of characters
          in exception messages.  If the user always uses small
          messages, then exception occurrences can be small.  If the
          user never uses messages, then exception occurrences can be
          smaller still:

19.g
               type Exception_Occurrence(Message_Length : Natural := 200) is
                   limited record
                       Id : Exception_Id;
                       Message : String(1..Message_Length);
                   end record;

19.h
          At the point where an exception is raised, an
          Exception_Occurrence can be allocated on the stack with
          exactly the right amount of space for the message -- none for
          an empty message.  This is just like declaring a constrained
          object of the type:

19.i
               Temp : Exception_Occurrence(10); --< for a 10-character message>

19.j
          After finding the appropriate handler, the stack can be cut
          back, and the Temp copied to the right place.  This is similar
          to returning an unknown-sized object from a function.  It is
          not necessary to allocate the maximum possible size for every
          Exception_Occurrence.  If, however, the user declares an
          Exception_Occurrence object, the discriminant will be
          permanently set to 200.  The Save_Occurrence procedure would
          then truncate the Exception_Message.  Thus, nothing is lost
          until the user tries to save the occurrence.  If the user is
          willing to pay the cost of heap allocation, the
          Save_Occurrence function can be used instead.

19.k
          Note that any arbitrary-sized implementation-defined
          Exception_Information can be handled in a similar way.  For
          example, if the Exception_Occurrence includes a stack
          traceback, a discriminant can control the number of stack
          frames stored.  The traceback would be truncated or entirely
          deleted by the Save_Occurrence procedure -- as the
          implementation sees fit.

19.l
          If the internal representation involves pointers to data
          structures that might disappear, it would behoove the
          implementation to implement it as a controlled type, so that
          assignment can either copy the data structures or else null
          out the pointers.  Alternatively, if the data structures being
          pointed at are in a task control block, the implementation
          could keep a unique sequence number for each task, so it could
          tell when a task's data structures no longer exist.

19.m
          Using the above method, heap space is never allocated unless
          the user calls the Save_Occurrence function.

19.n
          An alternative implementation would be to store the message
          strings on the heap when the exception is raised.  (It could
          be the global heap, or it could be a special heap just for
          this purpose -- it doesn't matter.)  This representation would
          be used only for choice parameters.  For normal user-defined
          exception occurrences, the Save_Occurrence procedure would
          copy the message string into the occurrence itself, truncating
          as necessary.  Thus, in this implementation,
          Exception_Occurrence would be implemented as a variant record:

19.o
               type Exception_Occurrence_Kind is (Normal, As_Choice_Param);

19.p
               type Exception_Occurrence(Kind : Exception_Occurrence_Kind := Normal) is
                   limited record
                       case Kind is
                           when Normal =>
                               ... --< space for 200 characters>
                           when As_Choice_Param =>
                               ... --< pointer to heap string>
                       end case;
                   end record;

19.q
          Exception_Occurrences created by the run-time system during
          exception raising would be As_Choice_Param.  User-declared
          ones would be Normal -- the user cannot see the discriminant,
          and so cannot set it to As_Choice_Param.  The strings in the
          heap would be freed upon completion of the handler.

19.r
          This alternative implementation corresponds to a heap-based
          implementation of functions returning unknown-sized results.

19.s
          One possible implementation of Reraise_Occurrence is as
          follows:

19.t
               procedure Reraise_Occurrence(X : in Exception_Occurrence) is
               begin
                   Raise_Exception(Identity(X), Exception_Message(X));
               end Reraise_Occurrence;

19.u
          However, some implementations may wish to retain more
          information across a re-raise -- a stack traceback, for
          example.

19.v
          Ramification: Note that Exception_Occurrence is a definite
          subtype.  Hence, values of type Exception_Occurrence may be
          written to an error log for later analysis, or may be passed
          to subprograms for immediate error analysis.

                     _Inconsistencies With Ada 95_

19.y/2
          {<AI95-00241-01AI95-00241-01>} Amendment Correction:
          Exception_Identity of an Exception_Occurrence now is defined
          to return Null_Id for Null_Occurrence, rather than raising
          Constraint_Error.  This provides a simple way to test for
          Null_Occurrence.  We expect that programs that need
          Constraint_Error raised will be very rare; they can be easily
          fixed by explicitly testing for Null_Id or by using
          Exception_Name instead.

19.z/2
          {<AI95-00378-01AI95-00378-01>} {<AI95-00417-01AI95-00417-01>}
          Amendment Correction: We now define the lower bound of the
          string returned from [[Wide_]Wide_]Exception_Name,
          Exception_Message, and Exception_Information.  This makes
          working with the returned string easier, and is consistent
          with many other string-returning functions in Ada.  This is
          technically an inconsistency; if a program depended on some
          other lower bound for the string returned from one of these
          functions, it could fail when compiled with Ada 2005.  Such
          code is not portable even between Ada 95 implementations, so
          it should be very rare.

19.aa/2
          {<AI95-00446-01AI95-00446-01>} Amendment Correction:
          Raise_Exception now raises Constraint_Error if passed Null_Id.
          This means that it always raises an exception, and thus we can
          apply pragma No_Return to it.  We expect that programs that
          call Raise_Exception with Null_Id will be rare, and programs
          that do that and expect no exception to be raised will be
          rarer; such programs can be easily fixed by explicitly testing
          for Null_Id before calling Raise_Exception.

          {<AI95-00400-01AI95-00400-01>} {<AI95-00438-01AI95-00438-01>}
          {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} Functions Wide_Exception_Name and
          Wide_Wide_Exception_Name, and procedures
          Read_Exception_Occurrence and Write_Exception_Occurrence are
          added to Exceptions.  If Exceptions is referenced in a
          use_clause, and an entity <E> with the same
          defining_identifier as a new entity in Exceptions is defined
          in a package that is also referenced in a use_clause, the
          entity <E> may no longer be use-visible, resulting in errors.
          This should be rare and is easily fixed if it does occur.

19.cc/2
          {<AI95-00362-01AI95-00362-01>} The package Exceptions is
          preelaborated, and types Exception_Id and Exception_Occurrence
          have preelaborable initialization, allowing this package to be
          used in preelaborated units.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

19.dd/2
          {<AI95-00361-01AI95-00361-01>} The meaning of
          Exception_Message is reworded to reflect that the string can
          come from a raise_statement as well as a call of
          Raise_Exception.

19.ee/2
          {<AI95-00400-01AI95-00400-01>} Added Wide_Exception_Name and
          Wide_Wide_Exception_Name because identifiers can now contain
          characters outside of Latin-1.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

19.ff/3
          {<AI05-0043-1AI05-0043-1>} Correction: Added explicit wording
          that the exception message for language-defined checks is
          unspecified.  The old wording appeared inclusive, but it was
          not.

11.4.2 Pragmas Assert and Assertion_Policy
------------------------------------------

1/3
{<AI95-00286-01AI95-00286-01>} {<AI05-0274-1AI05-0274-1>} Pragma Assert
is used to assert the truth of a boolean expression at a point within a
sequence of declarations or statements.

1.1/3
{<AI05-0274-1AI05-0274-1>} Assert pragmas, subtype predicates (see *note
3.2.4::), preconditions and postconditions (see *note 6.1.1::), and type
invariants (see *note 7.3.2::) are collectively referred to as
<assertions>; their boolean expressions are referred to as <assertion
expressions>.

1.a.1/3
          Glossary entry: A predicate is an assertion that is expected
          to be True for all objects of a given subtype.

1.a.2/3
          Glossary entry: A precondition is an assertion that is
          expected to be True when a given subprogram is called.

1.a.3/3
          Glossary entry: A postcondition is an assertion that is
          expected to be True when a given subprogram returns normally.

1.a.4/4
          Glossary entry: An invariant is an assertion that is expected
          to be True for all objects of a given private type when viewed
          from outside the defining package.

1.a.5/4
          Glossary entry: See Invariant.

1.a.6/3
          Glossary entry: An assertion is a boolean expression that
          appears in any of the following: a pragma Assert, a predicate,
          a precondition, a postcondition, an invariant, a constraint,
          or a null exclusion.  An assertion is expected to be True at
          run time at certain specified places.

1.2/3
{<AI05-0274-1AI05-0274-1>} Pragma Assertion_Policy is used to control
whether assertions are to be ignored by the implementation, checked at
run time, or handled in some implementation-defined manner.

                               _Syntax_

2/2
     {<AI95-00286-01AI95-00286-01>} The form of a pragma Assert is as
     follows:

3/2
       pragma Assert([Check =>] <boolean_>expression[, [Message =>]
     <string_>expression]);

4/2
     A pragma Assert is allowed at the place where a declarative_item or
     a statement is allowed.

5/2
     {<AI95-00286-01AI95-00286-01>} The form of a pragma
     Assertion_Policy is as follows:

6/2
       pragma Assertion_Policy(<policy_>identifier);

6.1/3
     {<AI05-0290-1AI05-0290-1>}   pragma Assertion_Policy(
              <assertion_>aspect_mark => <policy_>identifier
          {, <assertion_>aspect_mark => <policy_>identifier});

7/3
     {<AI05-0290-1AI05-0290-1>} A pragma Assertion_Policy is allowed
     only immediately within a declarative_part, immediately within a
     package_specification, or as a configuration pragma.

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

8/2
{<AI95-00286-01AI95-00286-01>} The expected type for the
<boolean_>expression of a pragma Assert is any boolean type.  The
expected type for the <string_>expression of a pragma Assert is type
String.

8.a/2
          Reason: We allow any boolean type to be like if_statements and
          other conditionals; we only allow String for the message in
          order to match raise_statements.

                           _Legality Rules_

9/3
{<AI95-00286-01AI95-00286-01>} {<AI05-0290-1AI05-0290-1>} The
<assertion_>aspect_mark of a pragma Assertion_Policy shall be one of
Assert, Static_Predicate, Dynamic_Predicate, Pre, Pre'Class, Post,
Post'Class, Type_Invariant, Type_Invariant'Class, or some implementation
defined aspect_mark.  The <policy_>identifier shall be either Check,
Ignore, or some implementation-defined identifier.

9.a/3
          Implementation defined: Implementation-defined
          <policy_>identifiers and <assertion_>aspect_marks allowed in a
          pragma Assertion_Policy.

                          _Static Semantics_

10/3
{<AI95-00286-01AI95-00286-01>} {<AI05-0290-1AI05-0290-1>} A pragma
Assertion_Policy determines for each assertion aspect named in the
pragma_argument_associations whether assertions of the given aspect are
to be enforced by a run-time check.  The <policy_>identifier Check
requires that assertion expressions of the given aspect be checked that
they evaluate to True at the points specified for the given aspect; the
<policy_>identifier Ignore requires that the assertion expression not be
evaluated at these points, and the run-time checks not be performed.
[Note that for subtype predicate aspects (see *note 3.2.4::), even when
the applicable Assertion_Policy is Ignore, the predicate will still be
evaluated as part of membership tests and Valid attribute_references,
and if static, will still have an effect on loop iteration over the
subtype, and the selection of case_statement_alternatives and variants.]

10.1/3
{<AI05-0290-1AI05-0290-1>} If no <assertion_>aspect_marks are specified
in the pragma, the specified policy applies to all assertion aspects.

10.2/3
{<AI05-0290-1AI05-0290-1>} A pragma Assertion_Policy applies to the
named assertion aspects in a specific region, and applies to all
assertion expressions specified in that region.  A pragma
Assertion_Policy given in a declarative_part or immediately within a
package_specification applies from the place of the pragma to the end of
the innermost enclosing declarative region.  The region for a pragma
Assertion_Policy given as a configuration pragma is the declarative
region for the entire compilation unit (or units) to which it applies.

10.3/3
{<AI05-0290-1AI05-0290-1>} If a pragma Assertion_Policy applies to a
generic_instantiation, then the pragma Assertion_Policy applies to the
entire instance.

10.a.1/3
          Ramification: This means that an Assertion_Policy pragma that
          occurs in a scope enclosing the declaration of a generic unit
          but not also enclosing the declaration of a given instance of
          that generic unit will not apply to assertion expressions
          occurring within the given instance.

10.4/3
{<AI05-0290-1AI05-0290-1>} If multiple Assertion_Policy pragmas apply to
a given construct for a given assertion aspect, the assertion policy is
determined by the one in the innermost enclosing region of a pragma
Assertion_Policy specifying a policy for the assertion aspect.  If no
such Assertion_Policy pragma exists, the policy is implementation
defined.

10.a/2
          Implementation defined: The default assertion policy.

11/2
{<AI95-00286-01AI95-00286-01>} The following language-defined library
package exists:

12/2

     package Ada.Assertions is
        pragma Pure(Assertions);

13/2
        Assertion_Error : exception;

14/2
        procedure Assert(Check : in Boolean);
        procedure Assert(Check : in Boolean; Message : in String);

15/2
     end Ada.Assertions;

16/3
{<AI95-00286-01AI95-00286-01>} {<AI05-0290-1AI05-0290-1>} A compilation
unit containing a check for an assertion (including a pragma Assert) has
a semantic dependence on the Assertions library unit.

17/3
<This paragraph was deleted.>{<AI95-00286-01AI95-00286-01>}
{<AI05-0290-1AI05-0290-1>}

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

18/3
{<AI95-00286-01AI95-00286-01>} {<AI05-0290-1AI05-0290-1>} If performing
checks is required by the Assert assertion policy in effect at the place
of a pragma Assert, the elaboration of the pragma consists of evaluating
the boolean expression, and if the result is False, evaluating the
Message argument, if any, and raising the exception
Assertions.Assertion_Error, with a message if the Message argument is
provided.

19/2
{<AI95-00286-01AI95-00286-01>} Calling the procedure Assertions.Assert
without a Message parameter is equivalent to:

20/2
     if Check = False then
        raise Ada.Assertions.Assertion_Error;
     end if;

21/2
{<AI95-00286-01AI95-00286-01>} Calling the procedure Assertions.Assert
with a Message parameter is equivalent to:

22/2
     if Check = False then
        raise Ada.Assertions.Assertion_Error with Message;
     end if;

23/2
{<AI95-00286-01AI95-00286-01>} The procedures Assertions.Assert have
these effects independently of the assertion policy in effect.

                      _Bounded (Run-Time) Errors_

23.1/3
{<AI05-0274-1AI05-0274-1>} It is a bounded error to invoke a potentially
blocking operation (see *note 9.5.1::) during the evaluation of an
assertion expression associated with a call on, or return from, a
protected operation.  If the bounded error is detected, Program_Error is
raised.  If not detected, execution proceeds normally, but if it is
invoked within a protected action, it might result in deadlock or a
(nested) protected action.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

24/2
{<AI95-00286-01AI95-00286-01>} Assertion_Error may be declared by
renaming an implementation-defined exception from another package.

24.a/2
          Reason: This permission is intended to allow implementations
          which had an implementation-defined Assert pragma to continue
          to use their originally defined exception.  Without this
          permission, such an implementation would be incorrect, as
          Exception_Name would return the wrong name.

25/2
{<AI95-00286-01AI95-00286-01>} Implementations may define their own
assertion policies.

26/3
{<AI05-0274-1AI05-0274-1>} If the result of a function call in an
assertion is not needed to determine the value of the assertion
expression, an implementation is permitted to omit the function call.
[This permission applies even if the function has side effects.]

27/3
{<AI05-0274-1AI05-0274-1>} An implementation need not allow the
specification of an assertion expression if the evaluation of the
expression has a side effect such that an immediate reevaluation of the
expression could produce a different value.  Similarly, an
implementation need not allow the specification of an assertion
expression that is checked as part of a call on or return from a
callable entity <C>, if the evaluation of the expression has a side
effect such that the evaluation of some other assertion expression
associated with the same call of (or return from) <C> could produce a
different value than it would if the first expression had not been
evaluated.

27.a/3
          Ramification: This allows an implementation to reject such
          assertions.  To maximize portability, assertions should not
          include expressions that contain these sorts of side effects.

27.b/3
          Discussion: The intended effect of the second part of the rule
          (the part starting with "Similarly") is that an evaluation of
          the involved assertion expressions (subtype predicates, type
          invariants, preconditions and postconditions) in any order
          yields identical results.

27.c/3
          The rule is intended to apply to all of the assertion
          expressions that are evaluated at the start of call (and
          similarly for the assertion expressions that are evaluated
          during the return from a call), but not other assertions
          actually given in the body, nor between the assertions checked
          at the start and end of the call.  Specifically, a side effect
          that alters a variable in a function called from a
          precondition expression that changes the result of a
          postcondition expression of the same subprogram does <not>
          trigger these rules unless it also changes the value of a
          reevaluation of the precondition expression.

                     _Language Design Principles_

27.d/4
          {<AI12-0005-1AI12-0005-1>} Our intent is that any assertion
          expression that violates this ImplPerm is considered
          pathological.  We definitely want compilers to be able to
          assume that if you evaluate an assertion expression once and
          it is True, you don't need to evaluate it again if all you are
          doing in the mean time is evaluating assertion expressions.
          We were unable to find wording that had this effect that
          didn't throw out important other cases (logging, memo
          functions), so we settled for a strong warning that compilers
          can reject such pathologies.  Perhaps in a future version of
          Ada we'll be able to tighten this up.

     NOTES

28/2
     3  {<AI95-00286-01AI95-00286-01>} Normally, the boolean expression
     in a pragma Assert should not call functions that have significant
     side effects when the result of the expression is True, so that the
     particular assertion policy in effect will not affect normal
     operation of the program.

          {<AI95-00286-01AI95-00286-01>} Pragmas Assert and

                   _Incompatibilities With Ada 2005_

28.b/3
          {<AI05-0274-1AI05-0274-1>} There now is an Implementation
          Permission to reject an assertion expression that calls a
          function that has a side effect such that an immediate
          reevalution of the expression could produce a different value.
          This means that a pragma Assert that works in Ada 2005 might
          be illegal in Ada 2012 in the unlikely event that the compiler
          detected such an error.  This should be unlikely to occur in
          practice and it is considered a good thing, as the original
          expression was tricky and probably was not portable (as order
          of evaluation is unspecified within an expression).  Moreover,
          no compiler is <required> to reject such expressions, so there
          is no need for any compiler to change behavior.

28.c/3
          {<AI05-0290-1AI05-0290-1>} Assertion_Policy pragmas are now
          allowed in more places and can specify behavior for individual
          kinds of assertions.

11.4.3 Example of Exception Handling
------------------------------------

                              _Examples_

1
Exception handling may be used to separate the detection of an error
from the response to that error:

2/2
     {<AI95-00433-01AI95-00433-01>} package File_System is
         type File_Handle is limited private;

3
         File_Not_Found : exception;
         procedure Open(F : in out File_Handle; Name : String);
             --< raises File_Not_Found if named file does not exist>

4
         End_Of_File : exception;
         procedure Read(F : in out File_Handle; Data : out Data_Type);
             --< raises End_Of_File if the file is not open>

5
         ...
     end File_System;

6/2
     {<AI95-00433-01AI95-00433-01>} package body File_System is
         procedure Open(F : in out File_Handle; Name : String) is
         begin
             if File_Exists(Name) then
                 ...
             else
                 raise File_Not_Found with "File not found: " & Name & ".";
             end if;
         end Open;

7
         procedure Read(F : in out File_Handle; Data : out Data_Type) is
         begin
             if F.Current_Position <= F.Last_Position then
                 ...
             else
                 raise End_Of_File;
             end if;
         end Read;

8
         ...

9
     end File_System;

10
     with Ada.Text_IO;
     with Ada.Exceptions;
     with File_System; use File_System;
     use Ada;
     procedure Main is
     begin
         ... --< call operations in File_System>
     exception
         when End_Of_File =>
             Close(Some_File);
         when Not_Found_Error : File_Not_Found =>
             Text_IO.Put_Line(Exceptions.Exception_Message(Not_Found_Error));
         when The_Error : others =>
             Text_IO.Put_Line("Unknown error:");
             if Verbosity_Desired then
                 Text_IO.Put_Line(Exceptions.Exception_Information(The_Error));
             else
                 Text_IO.Put_Line(Exceptions.Exception_Name(The_Error));
                 Text_IO.Put_Line(Exceptions.Exception_Message(The_Error));
             end if;
             raise;
     end Main;

11
In the above example, the File_System package contains information about
detecting certain exceptional situations, but it does not specify how to
handle those situations.  Procedure Main specifies how to handle them;
other clients of File_System might have different handlers, even though
the exceptional situations arise from the same basic causes.

11.5 Suppressing Checks
=======================

1/2
{<AI95-00224-01AI95-00224-01>} <Checking pragmas> give instructions to
an implementation on handling language-defined checks.  A pragma
Suppress gives permission to an implementation to omit certain
language-defined checks, while a pragma Unsuppress revokes the
permission to omit checks..

2/3
{<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} A <language-defined check> (or simply, a
"check") is one of the situations defined by this International Standard
that requires a check to be made at run time to determine whether some
condition is true.  A check <fails> when the condition being checked is
False, causing an exception to be raised.

2.a
          Discussion: All such checks are defined under "Dynamic
          Semantics" in clauses and subclauses throughout the standard.

                               _Syntax_

3/2
     {<AI95-00224-01AI95-00224-01>} The forms of checking pragmas are as
     follows:

4/2
     {<AI95-00224-01AI95-00224-01>}   pragma Suppress(identifier);

4.1/2
     {<AI95-00224-01AI95-00224-01>}   pragma Unsuppress(identifier);

5/2
     {<AI95-00224-01AI95-00224-01>} A checking pragma is allowed only
     immediately within a declarative_part, immediately within a
     package_specification (*note 7.1: S0191.), or as a configuration
     pragma.

                           _Legality Rules_

6/2
{<AI95-00224-01AI95-00224-01>} The identifier shall be the name of a
check.

7/2
<This paragraph was deleted.>{<AI95-00224-01AI95-00224-01>}

                          _Static Semantics_

7.1/2
{<AI95-00224-01AI95-00224-01>} A checking pragma applies to the named
check in a specific region, and applies to all entities in that region.
A checking pragma given in a declarative_part or immediately within a
package_specification applies from the place of the pragma to the end of
the innermost enclosing declarative region.  The region for a checking
pragma given as a configuration pragma is the declarative region for the
entire compilation unit (or units) to which it applies.

7.2/3
{<AI95-00224-01AI95-00224-01>} {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>}
{<AI05-0290-1AI05-0290-1>} If a checking pragma applies to a
generic_instantiation, then the checking pragma also applies to the
entire instance.

7.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0290-1AI05-0290-1>} This means that a
          Suppress pragma that occurs in a scope enclosing the
          declaration of a generic unit but not also enclosing the
          declaration of a given instance of that generic unit will not
          apply to constructs within the given instance.

8/2
{<AI95-00224-01AI95-00224-01>} A pragma Suppress gives permission to an
implementation to omit the named check (or every check in the case of
All_Checks) for any entities to which it applies.  If permission has
been given to suppress a given check, the check is said to be
<suppressed>.

8.a
          Ramification: A check is suppressed even if the implementation
          chooses not to actually generate better code.  This allows the
          implementation to raise Program_Error, for example, if the
          erroneousness is detected.

8.1/2
{<AI95-00224-01AI95-00224-01>} A pragma Unsuppress revokes the
permission to omit the named check (or every check in the case of
All_Checks) given by any pragma Suppress that applies at the point of
the pragma Unsuppress.  The permission is revoked for the region to
which the pragma Unsuppress applies.  If there is no such permission at
the point of a pragma Unsuppress, then the pragma has no effect.  A
later pragma Suppress can renew the permission.

9
The following are the language-defined checks:

10
   * [The following checks correspond to situations in which the
     exception Constraint_Error is raised upon failure.]

11/2
{<8652/00368652/0036>} {<AI95-00176-01AI95-00176-01>}
{<AI95-00231-01AI95-00231-01>} Access_Check
               [When evaluating a dereference (explicit or implicit),
               check that the value of the name is not null.  When
               converting to a subtype that excludes null, check that
               the converted value is not null.]

12
Discriminant_Check
               [Check that the discriminants of a composite value have
               the values imposed by a discriminant constraint.  Also,
               when accessing a record component, check that it exists
               for the current discriminant values.]

13/2
{<AI95-00434-01AI95-00434-01>} Division_Check
               [Check that the second operand is not zero for the
               operations /, rem and mod.]

14
Index_Check
               [Check that the bounds of an array value are equal to the
               corresponding bounds of an index constraint.  Also, when
               accessing a component of an array object, check for each
               dimension that the given index value belongs to the range
               defined by the bounds of the array object.  Also, when
               accessing a slice of an array object, check that the
               given discrete range is compatible with the range defined
               by the bounds of the array object.]

15
Length_Check
               [Check that two arrays have matching components, in the
               case of array subtype conversions, and logical operators
               for arrays of boolean components.]

16
Overflow_Check
               [Check that a scalar value is within the base range of
               its type, in cases where the implementation chooses to
               raise an exception instead of returning the correct
               mathematical result.]

17
Range_Check
               [Check that a scalar value satisfies a range constraint.
               Also, for the elaboration of a subtype_indication, check
               that the constraint (if present) is compatible with the
               subtype denoted by the subtype_mark.  Also, for an
               aggregate, check that an index or discriminant value
               belongs to the corresponding subtype.  Also, check that
               when the result of an operation yields an array, the
               value of each component belongs to the component
               subtype.]

18
Tag_Check
               [Check that operand tags in a dispatching call are all
               equal.  Check for the correct tag on tagged type
               conversions, for an assignment_statement, and when
               returning a tagged limited object from a function.]

19
   * [The following checks correspond to situations in which the
     exception Program_Error is raised upon failure.]

19.1/2
{<AI95-00280AI95-00280>} Accessibility_Check
               [Check the accessibility level of an entity or view.]

19.2/2
{<AI95-00280AI95-00280>} Allocation_Check
               [For an allocator, check that the master of any tasks to
               be created by the allocator is not yet completed or some
               dependents have not yet terminated, and that the
               finalization of the collection has not started.]

20
Elaboration_Check
               [When a subprogram or protected entry is called, a task
               activation is accomplished, or a generic instantiation is
               elaborated, check that the body of the corresponding unit
               has already been elaborated.]

21/2

               <This paragraph was deleted.>{<AI95-00280AI95-00280>}

22
   * [The following check corresponds to situations in which the
     exception Storage_Error is raised upon failure.]

23
Storage_Check
               [Check that evaluation of an allocator does not require
               more space than is available for a storage pool.  Check
               that the space available for a task or subprogram has not
               been exceeded.]

23.a
          Reason: We considered splitting this out into three
          categories: Pool_Check (for allocators), Stack_Check (for
          stack usage), and Heap_Check (for implicit use of the heap --
          use of the heap other than through an allocator).
          Storage_Check would then represent the union of these three.
          However, there seems to be no compelling reason to do this,
          given that it is not feasible to split Storage_Error.

24
   * [The following check corresponds to all situations in which any
     predefined exception is raised.]

25/3
{<AI05-0290-1AI05-0290-1>} All_Checks
               Represents the union of all checks; suppressing
               All_Checks suppresses all checks other than those
               associated with assertions.  In addition, an
               implementation is allowed (but not required) to behave as
               if a pragma Assertion_Policy(Ignore) applies to any
               region to which pragma Suppress(All_Checks) applies.

25.a
          Ramification: All_Checks includes both language-defined and
          implementation-defined checks.

25.b/3
          To be honest: {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} There are additional
          checks defined in various Specialized Needs Annexes that are
          not listed here.  Nevertheless, they are included in
          All_Checks and named in a Suppress pragma on implementations
          that support the relevant annex.  Look up "check,
          language-defined" in the index to find the complete list.

25.c/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0290-1AI05-0290-1>} We don't want to say
          that assertions are suppressed, because we don't want the
          potential failure of an assertion to cause erroneous execution
          (see below).  Thus they are excluded from the suppression part
          of the above rule and then handled with an implicit Ignore
          policy.

                         _Erroneous Execution_

26
If a given check has been suppressed, and the corresponding error
situation occurs, the execution of the program is erroneous.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

27/2
{<AI95-00224-01AI95-00224-01>} An implementation is allowed to place
restrictions on checking pragmas, subject only to the requirement that
pragma Unsuppress shall allow any check names supported by pragma
Suppress.  An implementation is allowed to add additional check names,
with implementation-defined semantics.  When Overflow_Check has been
suppressed, an implementation may also suppress an unspecified subset of
the Range_Checks.

27.a/2
          <This paragraph was deleted.>{<AI95-00224-01AI95-00224-01>}

27.b
          Implementation defined: Implementation-defined check names.

27.c
          Discussion: For Overflow_Check, the intention is that the
          implementation will suppress any Range_Checks that are
          implemented in the same manner as Overflow_Checks (unless they
          are free).

27.1/2
{<AI95-00224-01AI95-00224-01>} An implementation may support an
additional parameter on pragma Unsuppress similar to the one allowed for
pragma Suppress (see *note J.10::).  The meaning of such a parameter is
implementation-defined.

27.c.1/2
          Implementation defined: Existence and meaning of second
          parameter of pragma Unsuppress.

                        _Implementation Advice_

28
The implementation should minimize the code executed for checks that
have been suppressed.

28.a.1/2
          Implementation Advice: Code executed for checks that have been
          suppressed should be minimized.

28.a
          Implementation Note: However, if a given check comes for free
          (for example, the hardware automatically performs the check in
          parallel with doing useful work) or nearly free (for example,
          the check is a tiny portion of an expensive run-time system
          call), the implementation should not bother to suppress the
          check.  Similarly, if the implementation detects the failure
          at compile time and provides a warning message, there is no
          need to actually suppress the check.

     NOTES

29
     4  There is no guarantee that a suppressed check is actually
     removed; hence a pragma Suppress should be used only for efficiency
     reasons.

29.1/2
     5  {<AI95-00224-01AI95-00224-01>} It is possible to give both a
     pragma Suppress and Unsuppress for the same check immediately
     within the same declarative_part.  In that case, the last pragma
     given determines whether or not the check is suppressed.
     Similarly, it is possible to resuppress a check which has been
     unsuppressed by giving a pragma Suppress in an inner declarative
     region.

                              _Examples_

30/2
{<AI95-00224-01AI95-00224-01>} <Examples of suppressing and
unsuppressing checks:>

31/2
     {<AI95-00224-01AI95-00224-01>} pragma Suppress(Index_Check);
     pragma Unsuppress(Overflow_Check);

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

31.a
          A pragma Suppress is allowed as a configuration pragma.  A
          pragma Suppress without a name is allowed in a
          package_specification.

31.b
          Additional check names are added.  We allow implementations to
          define their own checks.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

31.c
          We define the checks in a distributed manner.  Therefore, the
          long list of what checks apply to what is merely a NOTE.

31.d
          We have removed the detailed rules about what is allowed in a
          pragma Suppress, and allow implementations to invent their
          own.  The RM83 rules weren't quite right, and such a change is
          necessary anyway in the presence of implementation-defined
          checks.

31.e
          We make it clear that the difference between a Range_Check and
          an Overflow_Check is fuzzy.  This was true in Ada 83, given
          RM83-11.6, but it was not clear.  We considered removing
          Overflow_Check from the language or making it obsolescent,
          just as we did for Numeric_Error.  However, we kept it for
          upward compatibility, and because it may be useful on machines
          where range checking costs more than overflow checking, but
          overflow checking still costs something.  Different compilers
          will suppress different checks when asked to suppress
          Overflow_Check -- the nonuniformity in this case is not
          harmful, and removing it would have a serious impact on
          optimizers.

31.f
          Under Access_Check, dereferences cover the cases of
          selected_component, indexed_component, slice, and attribute
          that are listed in RM83, as well as the new
          explicit_dereference, which was included in selected_component
          in RM83.

                        _Extensions to Ada 95_

31.g/2
          {<AI95-00224-01AI95-00224-01>} Pragma Unsuppress is new.

31.h/2
          {<AI95-00280-01AI95-00280-01>} Allocation_Check was added to
          support suppressing the new check on allocators (see *note
          4.8::).

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

31.i/2
          {<8652/00368652/0036>} {<AI95-00176-01AI95-00176-01>}
          {<AI95-00224-01AI95-00224-01>} The description of Access_Check
          was corrected by the Corrigendum to include the discriminant
          case.  This change was then replaced by the more general
          notion of checking conversions to subtypes that exclude null
          in Ada 2005.

31.j/2
          {<AI95-00224-01AI95-00224-01>} The On parameter of pragma
          Suppress was moved to Annex J (see *note J.10::).  This
          feature's effect is inherently nonportable, depending on the
          implementation's model of computation.  Compiler surveys
          demonstrated this, showing that implementations vary widely in
          the interpretation of these parameters, even on the same
          target.  While this is relatively harmless for Suppress (which
          is never required to do anything), it would be a significant
          problem for Unsuppress (we want the checks to be made for all
          implementations).  By moving it, we avoid needing to define
          the meaning of Unsuppress with an On parameter.

31.k/2
          {<AI95-00280-01AI95-00280-01>} The order of the Program_Error
          checks was corrected to be alphabetical.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

31.l/4
          {<AI05-0290-1AI05-0290-1>} {<AI12-0005-1AI12-0005-1>} The
          effect of a checking pragma no longer applies inside an
          inlined subprogram body.  While this could change the behavior
          of a program that depends on a check being suppressed in an
          inlined body, such a program is erroneous and thus no behavior
          can be depended upon anyway.  It's also likely to be very
          rare.  We make this change so that inlining has no effect on
          the meaning of the subprogram body (since inlining is never
          required, this is necessary in order to be able to reason
          about the body), and so that assertion policies and suppress
          work the same way for inlining.

11.6 Exceptions and Optimization
================================

1/3
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} [ This subclause gives permission to the
implementation to perform certain "optimizations" that do not
necessarily preserve the canonical semantics.]

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

2/3
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} The rest of this International Standard
(outside this subclause) defines the <canonical semantics> of the
language.  [The canonical semantics of a given (legal) program
determines a set of possible external effects that can result from the
execution of the program with given inputs.]

2.a
          Ramification: Note that the canonical semantics is a set of
          possible behaviors, since some reordering, parallelism, and
          nondeterminism is allowed by the canonical semantics.

2.b/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} The following parts of
          the canonical semantics are of particular interest to the
          reader of this subclause:

2.c
             * Behavior in the presence of abnormal objects and objects
               with invalid representations (see *note 13.9.1::).

2.d
             * Various actions that are defined to occur in an arbitrary
               order.

2.e/3
             * {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} Behavior in the presence of a
               misuse of Unchecked_Deallocation, Unchecked_Access, or
               imported or exported entity (see Clause *note 13::).

3/3
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} [As explained in *note 1.1.3::, "*note
1.1.3:: Conformity of an Implementation with the Standard", the external
effect of a program is defined in terms of its interactions with its
external environment.  Hence, the implementation can perform any
internal actions whatsoever, in any order or in parallel, so long as the
external effect of the execution of the program is one that is allowed
by the canonical semantics, or by the rules of this subclause.]

3.a
          Ramification: Note that an optimization can change the
          external effect of the program, so long as the changed
          external effect is an external effect that is allowed by the
          semantics.  Note that the canonical semantics of an erroneous
          execution allows any external effect whatsoever.  Hence, if
          the implementation can prove that program execution will be
          erroneous in certain circumstances, there need not be any
          constraints on the machine code executed in those
          circumstances.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

4
The following additional permissions are granted to the implementation:

5
   * An implementation need not always raise an exception when a
     language-defined check fails.  Instead, the operation that failed
     the check can simply yield an <undefined result>.  The exception
     need be raised by the implementation only if, in the absence of
     raising it, the value of this undefined result would have some
     effect on the external interactions of the program.  In determining
     this, the implementation shall not presume that an undefined result
     has a value that belongs to its subtype, nor even to the base range
     of its type, if scalar.  [Having removed the raise of the
     exception, the canonical semantics will in general allow the
     implementation to omit the code for the check, and some or all of
     the operation itself.]

5.a
          Ramification: Even without this permission, an implementation
          can always remove a check if it cannot possibly fail.

5.b
          Reason: We express the permission in terms of removing the
          raise, rather than the operation or the check, as it minimizes
          the disturbance to the canonical semantics (thereby
          simplifying reasoning).  By allowing the implementation to
          omit the raise, it thereby does not need to "look" at what
          happens in the exception handler to decide whether the
          optimization is allowed.

5.c
          Discussion: The implementation can also omit checks if they
          cannot possibly fail, or if they could only fail in erroneous
          executions.  This follows from the canonical semantics.

5.d
          Implementation Note: This permission is intended to allow
          normal "dead code removal" optimizations, even if some of the
          removed code might have failed some language-defined check.
          However, one may not eliminate the raise of an exception if
          subsequent code presumes in some way that the check succeeded.
          For example:

5.e
                 if X * Y > Integer'Last then
                     Put_Line("X * Y overflowed");
                 end if;
               exception
                 when others =>
                     Put_Line("X * Y overflowed");

5.e.1
          If X*Y does overflow, you may not remove the raise of the
          exception if the code that does the comparison against
          Integer'Last presumes that it is comparing it with an in-range
          Integer value, and hence always yields False.

5.f
          As another example where a raise may not be eliminated:

5.g
                 subtype Str10 is String(1..10);
                 type P10 is access Str10;
                 X : P10 := null;
               begin
                 if X.all'Last = 10 then
                     Put_Line("Oops");
                 end if;

5.g.1
          In the above code, it would be wrong to eliminate the raise of
          Constraint_Error on the "X.all" (since X is null), if the code
          to evaluate 'Last always yields 10 by presuming that X.all
          belongs to the subtype Str10, without even "looking."

6/3
   * {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} If an exception is raised due to the
     failure of a language-defined check, then upon reaching the
     corresponding exception_handler (or the termination of the task, if
     none), the external interactions that have occurred need reflect
     only that the exception was raised somewhere within the execution
     of the sequence_of_statements with the handler (or the task_body),
     possibly earlier (or later if the interactions are independent of
     the result of the checked operation) than that defined by the
     canonical semantics, but not within the execution of some
     abort-deferred operation or <independent> subprogram that does not
     dynamically enclose the execution of the construct whose check
     failed.  An independent subprogram is one that is defined outside
     the library unit containing the construct whose check failed, and
     for which the Inline aspect is False.  Any assignment that occurred
     outside of such abort-deferred operations or independent
     subprograms can be disrupted by the raising of the exception,
     causing the object or its parts to become abnormal, and certain
     subsequent uses of the object to be erroneous, as explained in
     *note 13.9.1::.

6.a
          Reason: We allow such variables to become abnormal so that
          assignments (other than to atomic variables) can be disrupted
          due to "imprecise" exceptions or instruction scheduling, and
          so that assignments can be reordered so long as the correct
          results are produced in the end if no language-defined checks
          fail.

6.b
          Ramification: If a check fails, no result dependent on the
          check may be incorporated in an external interaction.  In
          other words, there is no permission to output meaningless
          results due to postponing a check.

6.c
          Discussion: We believe it is important to state the extra
          permission to reorder actions in terms of what the programmer
          can expect at run time, rather than in terms of what the
          implementation can assume, or what transformations the
          implementation can perform.  Otherwise, how can the programmer
          write reliable programs?

6.d/3
          {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} This subclause has two conflicting
          goals: to allow as much optimization as possible, and to make
          program execution as predictable as possible (to ease the
          writing of reliable programs).  The rules given above
          represent a compromise.

6.e
          Consider the two extremes:

6.f/3
          {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} The extreme conservative rule would
          be to delete this subclause entirely.  The semantics of Ada
          would be the canonical semantics.  This achieves the best
          predictability.  It sounds like a disaster from the efficiency
          point of view, but in practice, implementations would provide
          modes in which less predictability but more efficiency would
          be achieved.  Such a mode could even be the out-of-the-box
          mode.  In practice, implementers would provide a compromise
          based on their customer's needs.  Therefore, we view this as
          one viable alternative.

6.g
          The extreme liberal rule would be "the language does not
          specify the execution of a program once a language-defined
          check has failed; such execution can be unpredictable."  This
          achieves the best efficiency.  It sounds like a disaster from
          the predictability point of view, but in practice it might not
          be so bad.  A user would have to assume that exception
          handlers for exceptions raised by language-defined checks are
          not portable.  They would have to isolate such code (like all
          nonportable code), and would have to find out, for each
          implementation of interest, what behaviors can be expected.
          In practice, implementations would tend to avoid going so far
          as to punish their customers too much in terms of
          predictability.

6.h/3
          {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} The most important thing about this
          subclause is that users understand what they can expect at run
          time, and implementers understand what optimizations are
          allowed.  Any solution that makes this subclause contain rules
          that can interpreted in more than one way is unacceptable.

6.i
          We have chosen a compromise between the extreme conservative
          and extreme liberal rules.  The current rule essentially
          allows arbitrary optimizations within a library unit and
          inlined subprograms reachable from it, but disallow
          semantics-disrupting optimizations across library units in the
          absence of inlined subprograms.  This allows a library unit to
          be debugged, and then reused with some confidence that the
          abstraction it manages cannot be broken by bugs outside the
          library unit.

     NOTES

7/3
     6  {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} The permissions granted by this
     subclause can have an effect on the semantics of a program only if
     the program fails a language-defined check.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

7.a
          RM83-11.6 was unclear.  It has been completely rewritten here;
          we hope this version is clearer.  Here's what happened to each
          paragraph of RM83-11.6:

7.b
             * Paragraphs 1 and 2 contain no semantics; they are merely
               pointing out that anything goes if the canonical
               semantics is preserved.  We have similar introductory
               paragraphs, but we have tried to clarify that these are
               not granting any "extra" permission beyond what the rest
               of the document allows.

7.c
             * Paragraphs 3 and 4 are reflected in the "extra permission
               to reorder actions".  Note that this permission now
               allows the reordering of assignments in many cases.

7.d
             * Paragraph 5 is moved to *note 4.5::, "*note 4.5::
               Operators and Expression Evaluation", where operator
               association is discussed.  Hence, this is no longer an
               "extra permission" but is part of the canonical
               semantics.

7.e
             * Paragraph 6 now follows from the general permission to
               store out-of-range values for unconstrained subtypes.
               Note that the parameters and results of all the
               predefined operators of a type are of the unconstrained
               subtype of the type.

7.f
             * Paragraph 7 is reflected in the "extra permission to
               avoid raising exceptions".

7.g/3
          {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} We moved subclause *note 11.5::,
          "*note 11.5:: Suppressing Checks" from after 11.6 to before
          11.6, in order to preserve the famous number "11.6" (given the
          changes to earlier subclauses in Clause *note 11::).

12 Generic Units
****************

1
A <generic unit> is a program unit that is either a generic subprogram
or a generic package.  A generic unit is a <template>[, which can be
parameterized, and from which corresponding (nongeneric) subprograms or
packages can be obtained].  The resulting program units are said to be
<instances> of the original generic unit.  

1.a
          Glossary entry: A generic unit is a template for a
          (nongeneric) program unit; the template can be parameterized
          by objects, types, subprograms, and packages.  An instance of
          a generic unit is created by a generic_instantiation.  The
          rules of the language are enforced when a generic unit is
          compiled, using a generic contract model; additional checks
          are performed upon instantiation to verify the contract is
          met.  That is, the declaration of a generic unit represents a
          contract between the body of the generic and instances of the
          generic.  Generic units can be used to perform the role that
          macros sometimes play in other languages.

2
[A generic unit is declared by a generic_declaration.  This form of
declaration has a generic_formal_part (*note 12.1: S0274.) declaring any
generic formal parameters.  An instance of a generic unit is obtained as
the result of a generic_instantiation with appropriate generic actual
parameters for the generic formal parameters.  An instance of a generic
subprogram is a subprogram.  An instance of a generic package is a
package.

3
Generic units are templates.  As templates they do not have the
properties that are specific to their nongeneric counterparts.  For
example, a generic subprogram can be instantiated but it cannot be
called.  In contrast, an instance of a generic subprogram is a
(nongeneric) subprogram; hence, this instance can be called but it
cannot be used to produce further instances.]

12.1 Generic Declarations
=========================

1
[A generic_declaration declares a generic unit, which is either a
generic subprogram or a generic package.  A generic_declaration includes
a generic_formal_part declaring any generic formal parameters.  A
generic formal parameter can be an object; alternatively (unlike a
parameter of a subprogram), it can be a type, a subprogram, or a
package.]

                               _Syntax_

2
     generic_declaration ::= generic_subprogram_declaration | 
     generic_package_declaration

3/3
     {<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>} generic_subprogram_declaration ::=
          generic_formal_part  subprogram_specification
             [aspect_specification];

4
     generic_package_declaration ::=
          generic_formal_part  package_specification;

4.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>} No syntax change is
          needed here to allow an aspect_specification; a generic
          package can have an aspect_specification because a
          package_specification allows an aspect_specification.

5
     generic_formal_part ::= generic {
     generic_formal_parameter_declaration | use_clause}

6
     generic_formal_parameter_declaration ::=
           formal_object_declaration
         | formal_type_declaration
         | formal_subprogram_declaration
         | formal_package_declaration

7
     The only form of subtype_indication allowed within a
     generic_formal_part is a subtype_mark [(that is, the
     subtype_indication shall not include an explicit constraint)].  The
     defining name of a generic subprogram shall be an identifier [(not
     an operator_symbol)].

7.a
          Reason: The reason for forbidding constraints in
          subtype_indications is that it simplifies the elaboration of
          generic_declarations (since there is nothing to evaluate), and
          that it simplifies the matching rules, and makes them more
          checkable at compile time.

                          _Static Semantics_

8/2
{<AI95-00434-01AI95-00434-01>} A generic_declaration declares a generic
unit -- a generic package, generic procedure, or generic function, as
appropriate.

9
An entity is a <generic formal> entity if it is declared by a
generic_formal_parameter_declaration.  "Generic formal," or simply
"formal," is used as a prefix in referring to objects, subtypes (and
types), functions, procedures and packages, that are generic formal
entities, as well as to their respective declarations.  [Examples:
"generic formal procedure" or a "formal integer type declaration."]

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

10
The elaboration of a generic_declaration has no effect.

     NOTES

11
     1  Outside a generic unit a name that denotes the
     generic_declaration denotes the generic unit.  In contrast, within
     the declarative region of the generic unit, a name that denotes the
     generic_declaration denotes the current instance.

11.a
          Proof: This is stated officially as part of the "current
          instance" rule in *note 8.6::, "*note 8.6:: The Context of
          Overload Resolution".  See also *note 12.3::, "*note 12.3::
          Generic Instantiation".

12
     2  Within a generic subprogram_body, the name of this program unit
     acts as the name of a subprogram.  Hence this name can be
     overloaded, and it can appear in a recursive call of the current
     instance.  For the same reason, this name cannot appear after the
     reserved word new in a (recursive) generic_instantiation.

13
     3  A default_expression or default_name appearing in a
     generic_formal_part is not evaluated during elaboration of the
     generic_formal_part; instead, it is evaluated when used.  (The
     usual visibility rules apply to any name used in a default: the
     denoted declaration therefore has to be visible at the place of the
     expression.)

                              _Examples_

     package On_Vectors is
        function Sum  (A, B : Vector) return Vector;
        function Sigma(A    : Vector) return Item;
        Length_Error : exception;
     end On_Vectors;

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

24.a
          The syntax rule for generic_formal_parameter_declaration is
          modified to allow the reserved words tagged and abstract, to
          allow formal derived types, and to allow formal packages.

24.b
          Use_clauses are allowed in generic_formal_parts.  This is
          necessary in order to allow a use_clause within a formal part
          to provide direct visibility of declarations within a generic
          formal package.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

24.c/3
          {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} The syntax for
          generic_formal_parameter_declaration and
          formal_type_definition is split up into more named categories.
          The rules for these categories are moved to the appropriate
          subclauses.  The names of the categories are changed to be
          more intuitive and uniform.  For example, we changed
          generic_parameter_declaration to
          generic_formal_parameter_declaration, because the thing it
          declares is a generic formal, not a generic.  In the others,
          we abbreviate "generic_formal" to just "formal".  We can't do
          that for generic_formal_parameter_declaration, because of
          confusion with normal formal parameters of subprograms.

                       _Extensions to Ada 2005_

24.d/3
          {<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>} An optional aspect_specification
          can be used in a generic_subprogram_declaration (as well as a
          generic_package_declaration).  This is described in *note
          13.1.1::.

12.2 Generic Bodies
===================

1
The body of a generic unit (a <generic body>) [is a template for the
instance bodies.  The syntax of a generic body is identical to that of a
nongeneric body].

1.a
          Ramification: We also use terms like "generic function body"
          and "nongeneric package body."

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

2
The elaboration of a generic body has no other effect than to establish
that the generic unit can from then on be instantiated without failing
the Elaboration_Check.  If the generic body is a child of a generic
package, then its elaboration establishes that each corresponding
declaration nested in an instance of the parent (see *note 10.1.1::) can
from then on be instantiated without failing the Elaboration_Check.

     NOTES

3
     4  The syntax of generic subprograms implies that a generic
     subprogram body is always the completion of a declaration.

                              _Examples_

4
<Example of a generic procedure body:>

5
     procedure Exchange(U, V : in out Elem) is  --< see *note 12.1::>
        T : Elem;  --<  the generic formal type>
     begin
        T := U;
        U := V;
        V := T;
     end Exchange;

        return X*X;  --<  the formal operator "*">
     end Squaring;

        begin
           if A'Length /= B'Length then
              raise Length_Error;
           end if;

11
           for N in A'Range loop
              Result(N) := Sum(A(N), B(N + Bias)); --< the formal function Sum>
           end loop;
           return Result;
        end Sum;

12.3 Generic Instantiation
==========================

1
[ An instance of a generic unit is declared by a generic_instantiation.]

                     _Language Design Principles_

1.a/3
          {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} The legality of an instance should
          be determinable without looking at the generic body.
          Likewise, the legality of a generic body should be
          determinable without looking at any instances.  Thus, the
          generic_declaration forms a contract between the body and the
          instances; if each obeys the rules with respect to the
          generic_declaration, then no legality problems will arise.
          This is really a special case of the "legality determinable
          via semantic dependences" Language Design Principle (see
          Clause *note 10::), given that a generic_instantiation does
          not depend semantically upon the generic body, nor vice-versa.

1.b
          Run-time issues are another story.  For example, whether
          parameter passing is by copy or by reference is determined in
          part by the properties of the generic actuals, and thus cannot
          be determined at compile time of the generic body.  Similarly,
          the contract model does not apply to Post-Compilation Rules.

                               _Syntax_

2/3
     {<AI95-00218-03AI95-00218-03>} {<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>}
     generic_instantiation ::=
          package defining_program_unit_name is
              new <generic_package_>name [generic_actual_part]
                 [aspect_specification];
        | [overriding_indicator]
          procedure defining_program_unit_name is
              new <generic_procedure_>name [generic_actual_part]
                 [aspect_specification];
        | [overriding_indicator]
          function defining_designator is
              new <generic_function_>name [generic_actual_part]
                 [aspect_specification];

3
     generic_actual_part ::=
        (generic_association {, generic_association})

4
     generic_association ::=
        [<generic_formal_parameter_>selector_name =>] 
     explicit_generic_actual_parameter

5
     explicit_generic_actual_parameter ::= expression | <variable_>name
        | <subprogram_>name | <entry_>name | subtype_mark
        | <package_instance_>name

6
     A generic_association is <named> or <positional> according to
     whether or not the <generic_formal_parameter_>selector_name (*note
     4.1.3: S0099.) is specified.  Any positional associations shall
     precede any named associations.

7/3
{<AI05-0004-1AI05-0004-1>} The <generic actual parameter> is either the
explicit_generic_actual_parameter given in a generic_association (*note
12.3: S0278.) for each formal, or the corresponding default_expression
(*note 3.7: S0063.) or default_name (*note 12.6: S0300.) if no
generic_association (*note 12.3: S0278.) is given for the formal.  When
the meaning is clear from context, the term "generic actual," or simply
"actual," is used as a synonym for "generic actual parameter" and also
for the view denoted by one, or the value of one.

                           _Legality Rules_

8
In a generic_instantiation for a particular kind of program unit
[(package, procedure, or function)], the name shall denote a generic
unit of the corresponding kind [(generic package, generic procedure, or
generic function, respectively)].

9/3
{<AI05-0118-1AI05-0118-1>} The <generic_formal_parameter_>selector_name
of a named generic_association shall denote a
generic_formal_parameter_declaration of the generic unit being
instantiated.  If two or more formal subprograms have the same defining
name, then named associations are not allowed for the corresponding
actuals.

9.1/3
{<AI05-0118-1AI05-0118-1>} The generic_formal_parameter_declaration for
a positional generic_association is the parameter with the corresponding
position in the generic_formal_part of the generic unit being
instantiated.

10
A generic_instantiation shall contain at most one generic_association
for each formal.  Each formal without an association shall have a
default_expression or subprogram_default.

11
In a generic unit Legality Rules are enforced at compile time of the
generic_declaration and generic body, given the properties of the
formals.  In the visible part and formal part of an instance, Legality
Rules are enforced at compile time of the generic_instantiation, given
the properties of the actuals.  In other parts of an instance, Legality
Rules are not enforced; this rule does not apply when a given rule
explicitly specifies otherwise.

11.a/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} Since rules are checked
          using the properties of the formals, and since these
          properties do not always carry over to the actuals, we need to
          check the rules again in the visible part of the instance.
          For example, only if a tagged type is limited may an extension
          of it have limited components in the record_extension_part.  A
          formal tagged limited type is limited, but the actual might be
          nonlimited.  Hence any rule that requires a tagged type to be
          limited runs into this problem.  Such rules are rare; in most
          cases, the rules for matching of formals and actuals guarantee
          that if the rule is obeyed in the generic unit, then it has to
          be obeyed in the instance.

11.a.1/3
          {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} Ada 2012 addendum: Such Legality
          Rules are not as rare as the authors of Ada 95 hoped; there
          are more than 30 of them known at this point.  They are
          indexed under "generic contract issue" and are associated with
          the boilerplate "In addition to the places where Legality
          Rules normally apply...".  Indeed, there is only one known
          rule where rechecking in the specification is needed and where
          rechecking in the private part is <not> wanted (it is in *note
          3.4::, but even it needs rechecking when tagged types are
          involved).

11.b
          Ramification: The "properties" of the formals are determined
          without knowing anything about the actuals:

11.c/1
             * {<8652/00958652/0095>} {<AI95-00034-01AI95-00034-01>} A
               formal derived subtype is constrained if and only if the
               ancestor subtype is constrained.  A formal array type is
               constrained if and only if the declarations say so.  A
               formal private type is constrained if it does not have a
               discriminant part.  Other formal subtypes are
               unconstrained, even though they might be constrained in
               an instance.

11.d
             * A formal subtype can be indefinite, even though the copy
               might be definite in an instance.

11.e
             * A formal object of mode in is not a static constant; in
               an instance, the copy is static if the actual is.

11.f
             * A formal subtype is not static, even though the actual
               might be.

11.g
             * Formal types are specific, even though the actual can be
               class-wide.

11.h
             * The subtype of a formal object of mode in out is not
               static.  (This covers the case of AI83-00878.)

11.i
             * The subtype of a formal parameter of a formal subprogram
               does not provide an applicable index constraint.

11.j/3
             * {<AI05-0239-1AI05-0239-1>} The profile of a formal
               subprogram is not subtype conformant with any other
               profile.  

11.k
             * A generic formal function is not static.

11.l
          Ramification: The exceptions to the above rule about when
          legality rules are enforced fall into these categories:

11.m
             * Some rules are checked in the generic declaration, and
               then again in both the visible and private parts of the
               instance:

11.n
                       * The parent type of a record extension has to be
                         specific (see *note 3.9.1::).  This rule is not
                         checked in the instance body.

11.o
                       * The parent type of a private extension has to
                         be specific (see *note 7.3::).  This rule is
                         not checked in the instance body.

11.p/3
                       * {<AI95-00402-01AI95-00402-01>}
                         {<AI05-0093-1AI05-0093-1>} A type with an
                         access discriminant with a default_expression
                         has to be immutably limited.  In the generic
                         body, the definition of immutably limited is
                         adjusted in an assume-the-worst manner (thus
                         the rule is checked that way).

11.q
                       * In the declaration of a record extension, if
                         the parent type is nonlimited, then each of the
                         components of the record_extension_part have to
                         be nonlimited (see *note 3.9.1::).  In the
                         generic body, this rule is checked in an
                         assume-the-worst manner.

11.r
                       * A preelaborated library unit has to be
                         preelaborable (see *note 10.2.1::).  In the
                         generic body, this rule is checked in an
                         assume-the-worst manner.

11.r.1/2
               {<AI95-00402-01AI95-00402-01>} The corrections made by
               the Corrigendum added a number of such rules, and the
               Amendment added many more.  There doesn't seem to be much
               value in repeating all of these rules here (as of this
               writing, there are roughly 33 such rules).  As noted
               below, all such rules are indexed in the AARM.

11.s
             * For the accessibility rules, the formals have nothing to
               say about the property in question.  Like the above
               rules, these rules are checked in the generic
               declaration, and then again in both the visible and
               private parts of the instance.  In the generic body, we
               have explicit rules that essentially assume the worst (in
               the cases of type extensions and access-to-subprogram
               types), and we have run-time checks (in the case of
               access-to-object types).  See *note 3.9.1::, *note
               3.10.2::, and *note 4.6::.

11.t
               We considered run-time checks for access-to-subprogram
               types as well.  However, this would present difficulties
               for implementations that share generic bodies.

11.u
             * The rules requiring "reasonable" values for static
               expressions are ignored when the expected type for the
               expression is a descendant of a generic formal type other
               than a generic formal derived type, and do not apply in
               an instance.

11.v
             * The rule forbidding two explicit homographs in the same
               declarative region does not apply in an instance of a
               generic unit, except that it <does> apply in the
               declaration of a record extension that appears in the
               visible part of an instance.

11.w
             * Some rules do not apply at all in an instance, not even
               in the visible part:

11.x
                       * Body_stubs are not normally allowed to be
                         multiply nested, but they can be in instances.

11.y
          Each rule that is an exception is marked with "generic
          contract issue;" look that up in the index to find them all.

11.z
          Ramification: The Legality Rules are the ones labeled Legality
          Rules.  We are talking about all Legality Rules in the entire
          language here.  Note that, with some exceptions, the legality
          of a generic unit is checked even if there are no
          instantiations of the generic unit.

11.aa/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} The Legality Rules
          are described here, and the overloading rules were described
          earlier in this subclause.  Presumably, every Static Semantic
          Item is sucked in by one of those.  Thus, we have covered all
          the compile-time rules of the language.  There is no need to
          say anything special about the Post-Compilation Rules or the
          Dynamic Semantic Items.

11.bb
          Discussion: Here is an example illustrating how this rule is
          checked: "In the declaration of a record extension, if the
          parent type is nonlimited, then each of the components of the
          record_extension_part shall be nonlimited."

11.cc
               generic
                   type Parent is tagged private;
                   type Comp is limited private;
               package G1 is
                   type Extension is new Parent with
                       record
                           C : Comp; --< Illegal!>
                       end record;
               end G1;

11.dd/1
          The parent type is nonlimited, and the component type is
          limited, which is illegal.  It doesn't matter that one could
          imagine writing an instantiation with the actual for Comp
          being nonlimited -- we never get to the instance, because the
          generic itself is illegal.

11.ee
          On the other hand:

11.ff
               generic
                   type Parent is tagged limited private; --< Parent is limited.>
                   type Comp is limited private;
               package G2 is
                   type Extension is new Parent with
                       record
                           C : Comp; --< OK.>
                       end record;
               end G2;

11.gg
               type Limited_Tagged is tagged limited null record;
               type Non_Limited_Tagged is tagged null record;

11.hh
               type Limited_Untagged is limited null record;
               type Non_Limited_Untagged is null record;

11.ii
               package Good_1 is new G2(Parent => Limited_Tagged,
                                        Comp => Limited_Untagged);
               package Good_2 is new G2(Parent => Non_Limited_Tagged,
                                        Comp => Non_Limited_Untagged);
               package Bad  is new G2(Parent => Non_Limited_Tagged,
                                        Comp => Limited_Untagged); --< Illegal!>

11.jj
          The first instantiation is legal, because in the instance the
          parent is limited, so the rule is not violated.  Likewise, in
          the second instantiation, the rule is not violated in the
          instance.  However, in the Bad instance, the parent type is
          nonlimited, and the component type is limited, so this
          instantiation is illegal.

                          _Static Semantics_

12
A generic_instantiation declares an instance; it is equivalent to the
instance declaration (a package_declaration (*note 7.1: S0190.) or
subprogram_declaration (*note 6.1: S0163.)) immediately followed by the
instance body, both at the place of the instantiation.

12.a
          Ramification: The declaration and the body of the instance are
          not "implicit" in the technical sense, even though you can't
          see them in the program text.  Nor are declarations within an
          instance "implicit" (unless they are implicit by other rules).
          This is necessary because implicit declarations have special
          semantics that should not be attached to instances.  For a
          generic subprogram, the profile of a generic_instantiation is
          that of the instance declaration, by the stated equivalence.

12.b
          Ramification: The visible and private parts of a package
          instance are defined in *note 7.1::, "*note 7.1:: Package
          Specifications and Declarations" and *note 12.7::, "*note
          12.7:: Formal Packages".  The visible and private parts of a
          subprogram instance are defined in *note 8.2::, "*note 8.2::
          Scope of Declarations".

13
The instance is a copy of the text of the template.  [Each use of a
formal parameter becomes (in the copy) a use of the actual, as explained
below.]  An instance of a generic package is a package, that of a
generic procedure is a procedure, and that of a generic function is a
function.

13.a
          Ramification: An instance is a package or subprogram (because
          we say so), even though it contains a copy of the
          generic_formal_part, and therefore doesn't look like one.
          This is strange, but it's OK, since the syntax rules are
          overloading rules, and therefore do not apply in an instance.

13.b
          Discussion: We use a macro-expansion model, with some
          explicitly-stated exceptions (see below).  The main exception
          is that the interpretation of each construct in a generic unit
          (especially including the denotation of each name) is
          determined when the declaration and body of the generic unit
          (as opposed to the instance) are compiled, and in each
          instance this interpretation is (a copy of) the template
          interpretation.  In other words, if a construct is interpreted
          as a name denoting a declaration D, then in an instance, the
          copy of the construct will still be a name, and will still
          denote D (or a copy of D). From an implementation point of
          view, overload resolution is performed on the template, and
          not on each copy.

13.c
          We describe the substitution of generic actual parameters by
          saying (in most cases) that the copy of each generic formal
          parameter declares a view of the actual.  Suppose a name in a
          generic unit denotes a generic_formal_parameter_declaration.
          The copy of that name in an instance will denote the copy of
          that generic_formal_parameter_declaration in the instance.
          Since the generic_formal_parameter_declaration in the instance
          declares a view of the actual, the name will denote a view of
          the actual.

13.d/2
          {<AI95-00442-01AI95-00442-01>} Other properties of the copy
          (for example, staticness, categories to which types belong)
          are recalculated for each instance; this is implied by the
          fact that it's a copy.

13.e/2
          {<AI95-00317-01AI95-00317-01>} Although the
          generic_formal_part is included in an instance, the
          declarations in the generic_formal_part are only visible
          outside the instance in the case of a generic formal package
          whose formal_package_actual_part includes one or more <>
          indicators -- see *note 12.7::.

14
The interpretation of each construct within a generic declaration or
body is determined using the overloading rules when that generic
declaration or body is compiled.  In an instance, the interpretation of
each (copied) construct is the same, except in the case of a name that
denotes the generic_declaration or some declaration within the generic
unit; the corresponding name in the instance then denotes the
corresponding copy of the denoted declaration.  The overloading rules do
not apply in the instance.

14.a
          Ramification: See *note 8.6::, "*note 8.6:: The Context of
          Overload Resolution" for definitions of "interpretation" and
          "overloading rule."

14.b
          Even the generic_formal_parameter_declarations have
          corresponding declarations in the instance, which declare
          views of the actuals.

14.c
          Although the declarations in the instance are copies of those
          in the generic unit, they often have quite different
          properties, as explained below.  For example a constant
          declaration in the generic unit might declare a nonstatic
          constant, whereas the copy of that declaration might declare a
          static constant.  This can happen when the staticness depends
          on some generic formal.

14.d
          This rule is partly a ramification of the "current instance"
          rule in *note 8.6::, "*note 8.6:: The Context of Overload
          Resolution".  Note that that rule doesn't cover the
          generic_formal_part.

14.e
          Although the overloading rules are not observed in the
          instance, they are, of course, observed in the _instantiation
          in order to determine the interpretation of the constituents
          of the _instantiation.

14.f
          Since children are considered to occur within their parent's
          declarative region, the above rule applies to a name that
          denotes a child of a generic unit, or a declaration inside
          such a child.

14.g
          Since the Syntax Rules are overloading rules, it is possible
          (legal) to violate them in an instance.  For example, it is
          possible for an instance body to occur in a
          package_specification, even though the Syntax Rules forbid
          bodies in package_specifications.

15
In an instance, a generic_formal_parameter_declaration declares a view
whose properties are identical to those of the actual, except as
specified in *note 12.4::, "*note 12.4:: Formal Objects" and *note
12.6::, "*note 12.6:: Formal Subprograms".  Similarly, for a declaration
within a generic_formal_parameter_declaration, the corresponding
declaration in an instance declares a view whose properties are
identical to the corresponding declaration within the declaration of the
actual.

15.a
          Ramification: In an instance, there are no "properties" of
          types and subtypes that come from the formal.  The primitive
          operations of the type come from the formal, but these are
          declarations in their own right, and are therefore handled
          separately.

15.b
          Note that certain properties that come from the actuals are
          irrelevant in the instance.  For example, if an actual type is
          of a class deeper in the derived-type hierarchy than the
          formal, it is impossible to call the additional operations of
          the deeper class in the instance, because any such call would
          have to be a copy of some corresponding call in the generic
          unit, which would have been illegal.  However, it is sometimes
          possible to reach into the specification of the instance from
          outside, and notice such properties.  For example, one could
          pass an object declared in the instance specification to one
          of the additional operations of the deeper type.

15.c/2
          {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} A formal_type_declaration can
          contain discriminant_specifications, a
          formal_subprogram_declaration can contain
          parameter_specifications, and a formal_package_declaration can
          contain many kinds of declarations.  These are all inside the
          generic unit, and have corresponding declarations in the
          instance.

15.d
          This rule implies, for example, that if a subtype in a generic
          unit is a subtype of a generic formal subtype, then the
          corresponding subtype in the instance is a subtype of the
          corresponding actual subtype.

15.e
          For a generic_instantiation, if a generic actual is a static
          [(scalar or string)] subtype, then each use of the
          corresponding formal parameter within the specification of the
          instance is considered to be static.  (See AI83-00409.)

15.f
          Similarly, if a generic actual is a static expression and the
          corresponding formal parameter has a static [(scalar or
          string)] subtype, then each use of the formal parameter in the
          specification of the instance is considered to be static.
          (See AI83-00505.)

15.g
          If a primitive subprogram of a type derived from a generic
          formal derived tagged type is not overriding (that is, it is a
          new subprogram), it is possible for the copy of that
          subprogram in an instance to override a subprogram inherited
          from the actual.  For example:

15.h
               type T1 is tagged record ... end record;

15.i
               generic
                   type Formal is new T1;
               package G is
                   type Derived_From_Formal is new Formal with record ... end record;
                   procedure Foo(X : in Derived_From_Formal); --< Does not override anything.>
               end G;

15.j
               type T2 is new T1 with record ... end record;
               procedure Foo(X : in T2);

15.k
               package Inst is new G(Formal => T2);

15.l
          In the instance Inst, the declaration of Foo for
          Derived_From_Formal overrides the Foo inherited from T2.

15.m/1
          Implementation Note: {<8652/00098652/0009>}
          {<AI95-00137-01AI95-00137-01>} For formal types, an
          implementation that shares the code among multiple instances
          of the same generic unit needs to beware that things like
          parameter passing mechanisms (by-copy vs.  by-reference) and
          aspect_clauses are determined by the actual.

16
[Implicit declarations are also copied, and a name that denotes an
implicit declaration in the generic denotes the corresponding copy in
the instance.  However, for a type declared within the visible part of
the generic, a whole new set of primitive subprograms is implicitly
declared for use outside the instance, and may differ from the copied
set if the properties of the type in some way depend on the properties
of some actual type specified in the instantiation.  For example, if the
type in the generic is derived from a formal private type, then in the
instance the type will inherit subprograms from the corresponding actual
type.

17
These new implicit declarations occur immediately after the type
declaration in the instance, and override the copied ones.  The copied
ones can be called only from within the instance; the new ones can be
called only from outside the instance, although for tagged types, the
body of a new one can be executed by a call to an old one.]

17.a
          Proof: This rule is stated officially in *note 8.3::, "*note
          8.3:: Visibility".

17.b
          Ramification: The new ones follow from the class(es) of the
          formal types.  For example, for a type T derived from a
          generic formal private type, if the actual is Integer, then
          the copy of T in the instance has a "+" primitive operator,
          which can be called from outside the instance (assuming T is
          declared in the visible part of the instance).

17.c
          AI83-00398.

17.d/2
          {<AI95-00442-01AI95-00442-01>} Since an actual type is always
          in the category determined for the formal, the new subprograms
          hide all of the copied ones, except for a declaration of "/="
          that corresponds to an explicit declaration of "=".  Such "/="
          operators are special, because unlike other implicit
          declarations of primitive subprograms, they do not appear by
          virtue of the class, but because of an explicit declaration of
          "=".  If the declaration of "=" is implicit (and therefore
          overridden in the instance), then a corresponding implicitly
          declared "/=" is also overridden.  But if the declaration of
          "=" is explicit (and therefore not overridden in the
          instance), then a corresponding implicitly declared "/=" is
          not overridden either, even though it's implicit.

17.e
          Note that the copied ones can be called from inside the
          instance, even though they are hidden from all visibility,
          because the names are resolved in the generic unit --
          visibility is irrelevant for calls in the instance.

18
[In the visible part of an instance, an explicit declaration overrides
an implicit declaration if they are homographs, as described in *note
8.3::.]  On the other hand, an explicit declaration in the private part
of an instance overrides an implicit declaration in the instance, only
if the corresponding explicit declaration in the generic overrides a
corresponding implicit declaration in the generic.  Corresponding rules
apply to the other kinds of overriding described in *note 8.3::.

18.a
          Ramification: For example:

18.b
               type Ancestor is tagged null record;

18.c
               generic
                   type Formal is new Ancestor with private;
               package G is
                   type T is new Formal with null record;
                   procedure P(X : in T); --< (1)>
               private
                   procedure Q(X : in T); --< (2)>
               end G;

18.d
               type Actual is new Ancestor with null record;
               procedure P(X : in Actual);
               procedure Q(X : in Actual);

18.e
               package Instance is new G(Formal => Actual);

18.f
          In the instance, the copy of P at (1) overrides Actual's P,
          whereas the copy of Q at (2) does not override anything; in
          implementation terms, it occupies a separate slot in the type
          descriptor.

18.g
          Reason: The reason for this rule is so a programmer writing an
          _instantiation need not look at the private part of the
          generic in order to determine which subprograms will be
          overridden.

                       _Post-Compilation Rules_

19
Recursive generic instantiation is not allowed in the following sense:
if a given generic unit includes an instantiation of a second generic
unit, then the instance generated by this instantiation shall not
include an instance of the first generic unit [(whether this instance is
generated directly, or indirectly by intermediate instantiations)].

19.a
          Discussion: Note that this rule is not a violation of the
          generic contract model, because it is not a Legality Rule.
          Some implementations may be able to check this rule at compile
          time, but that requires access to all the bodies, so we allow
          implementations to check the rule at link time.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

20
For the elaboration of a generic_instantiation, each generic_association
is first evaluated.  If a default is used, an implicit
generic_association is assumed for this rule.  These evaluations are
done in an arbitrary order, except that the evaluation for a default
actual takes place after the evaluation for another actual if the
default includes a name that denotes the other one.  Finally, the
instance declaration and body are elaborated.

20.a
          Ramification: Note that if the evaluation of a default depends
          on some side effect of some other evaluation, the order is
          still arbitrary.

21
For the evaluation of a generic_association the generic actual parameter
is evaluated.  Additional actions are performed in the case of a formal
object of mode in (see *note 12.4::).

21.a
          To be honest: Actually, the actual is evaluated only if
          evaluation is defined for that kind of construct -- we don't
          actually "evaluate" subtype_marks.

     NOTES

22
     5  If a formal type is not tagged, then the type is treated as an
     untagged type within the generic body.  Deriving from such a type
     in a generic body is permitted; the new type does not get a new tag
     value, even if the actual is tagged.  Overriding operations for
     such a derived type cannot be dispatched to from outside the
     instance.

22.a
          Ramification: If two overloaded subprograms declared in a
          generic package specification differ only by the (formal) type
          of their parameters and results, then there exist legal
          instantiations for which all calls of these subprograms from
          outside the instance are ambiguous.  For example:

22.b
               generic
                  type A is (<>);
                  type B is private;
               package G is
                  function Next(X : A) return A;
                  function Next(X : B) return B;
               end G;

22.c
               package P is new G(A => Boolean, B => Boolean);
               --< All calls of P.Next are ambiguous.>

22.d
          Ramification: The following example illustrates some of the
          subtleties of the substitution of formals and actuals:

22.e
               generic
                   type T1 is private;
                   --< A predefined "=" operator is implicitly declared here:>
                   --< function "="(Left, Right : T1) return Boolean;>
                   --< Call this "="1.>
               package G is
                   subtype S1 is T1; --< So we can get our hands on the type from>
                                     --< outside an instance.>
                   type T2 is new T1;
                   --< An inherited "=" operator is implicitly declared here:>
                   --< function "="(Left, Right : T2) return Boolean;>
                   --< Call this "="2.>

22.f
                   T1_Obj : T1 := ...;
                   Bool_1 : Boolean := T1_Obj = T1_Obj;

22.g
                   T2_Obj : T2 := ...;
                   Bool_2 : Boolean := T2_Obj = T2_Obj;
               end G;
               ...

22.h
               package P is
                   type My_Int is new Integer;
                   --< A predefined "=" operator is implicitly declared here:>
                   --< function "="(Left, Right : My_Int) return Boolean;>
                   --< Call this "="3.>
                   function "="(X, Y : My_Int) return Boolean;
                   --< Call this "="4.>
                   --< "="3 is hidden from all visibility by "="4.>
                   --< Nonetheless, "="3 can "reemerge" in certain circumstances.>
               end P;
               use P;
               ...
               package I is new G(T1 => My_Int); --< "="5 is declared in I (see below).>
               use I;

22.i
               Another_T1_Obj : S1 := 13; --< Can't denote T1, but S1 will do.>
               Bool_3 : Boolean := Another_T1_Obj = Another_T1_Obj;

22.j
               Another_T2_Obj : T2 := 45;
               Bool_4 : Boolean := Another_T2_Obj = Another_T2_Obj;

22.k
               Double : T2 := T2_Obj + Another_T2_Obj;

22.l
          In the instance I, there is a copy of "="1 (call it "="1i) and
          "="2 (call it "="2i).  The "="1i and "="2i declare views of
          the predefined "=" of My_Int (that is, "="3).  In the
          initialization of Bool_1 and Bool_2 in the generic unit G, the
          names "=" denote "="1 and "="2, respectively.  Therefore, the
          copies of these names in the instances denote "="1i and "="2i,
          respectively.  Thus, the initialization of I.Bool_1 and
          I.Bool_2 call the predefined equality operator of My_Int; they
          will not call "="4.

22.m
          The declarations "="1i and "="2i are hidden from all
          visibility.  This prevents them from being called from outside
          the instance.

22.n
          The declaration of Bool_3 calls "="4.

22.o
          The instance I also contains implicit declarations of the
          primitive operators of T2, such as "=" (call it "="5) and "+".
          These operations cannot be called from within the instance,
          but the declaration of Bool_4 calls "="5.

                     _Inconsistencies With Ada 83_

29.a
          In Ada 83, all explicit actuals are evaluated before all
          defaults, and the defaults are evaluated in the order of the
          formal declarations.  This ordering requirement is relaxed in
          Ada 95.

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 83_

29.b
          We have attempted to remove every violation of the contract
          model.  Any remaining contract model violations should be
          considered bugs in the RM95.  The unfortunate property of
          reverting to the predefined operators of the actual types is
          retained for upward compatibility.  (Note that fixing this
          would require subtype conformance rules.)  However, tagged
          types do not revert in this sense.

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

29.c
          The syntax rule for explicit_generic_actual_parameter is
          modified to allow a <package_instance_>name.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

29.d
          The fact that named associations cannot be used for two formal
          subprograms with the same defining name is moved to AARM-only
          material, because it is a ramification of other rules, and
          because it is not of interest to the average user.

29.e/2
          {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} The rule that "An explicit
          explicit_generic_actual_parameter shall not be supplied more
          than once for a given generic formal parameter" seems to be
          missing from RM83, although it was clearly the intent.

29.f
          In the explanation that the instance is a copy of the
          template, we have left out RM83-12.3(5)'s "apart from the
          generic formal part", because it seems that things in the
          formal part still need to exist in instances.  This is
          particularly true for generic formal packages, where you're
          sometimes allowed to reach in and denote the formals of the
          formal package from outside it.  This simplifies the
          explanation of what each name in an instance denotes: there
          are just two cases: the declaration can be inside or outside
          (where inside needs to include the generic unit itself).  Note
          that the RM83 approach of listing many cases (see
          RM83-12.5(5-14)) would have become even more unwieldy with the
          addition of generic formal packages, and the declarations that
          occur therein.

29.g
          We have corrected the definition of the elaboration of a
          generic_instantiation (RM83-12.3(17)); we don't elaborate
          entities, and the instance is not "implicit."

29.h
          In RM83, there is a rule saying the formal and actual shall
          match, and then there is much text defining what it means to
          match.  Here, we simply state all the latter text as rules.
          For example, "A formal foo is matched by an actual greenish
          bar" becomes "For a formal foo, the actual shall be a greenish
          bar."  This is necessary to split the Name Resolution Rules
          from the Legality Rules.  Besides, there's really no need to
          define the concept of matching for generic parameters.

12.4 Formal Objects
===================

1
[ A generic formal object can be used to pass a value or variable to a
generic unit.]

                     _Language Design Principles_

1.a
          A generic formal object of mode in is like a constant
          initialized to the value of the
          explicit_generic_actual_parameter.

1.b
          A generic formal object of mode in out is like a renaming of
          the explicit_generic_actual_parameter.

                               _Syntax_

2/3
     {<AI95-00423-01AI95-00423-01>} {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>}
     {<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>} formal_object_declaration ::=
         defining_identifier_list : mode [null_exclusion] 
     subtype_mark [:= default_expression]
             [aspect_specification];
       |  defining_identifier_list : mode access_definition [:= 
     default_expression]
             [aspect_specification];

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

3
The expected type for the default_expression, if any, of a formal object
is the type of the formal object.

4
For a generic formal object of mode in, the expected type for the actual
is the type of the formal.

5/2
{<AI95-00423-01AI95-00423-01>} For a generic formal object of mode in
out, the type of the actual shall resolve to the type determined by the
subtype_mark, or for a formal_object_declaration with an
access_definition, to a specific anonymous access type.  If the
anonymous access type is an access-to-object type, the type of the
actual shall have the same designated type as that of the
access_definition.  If the anonymous access type is an
access-to-subprogram type, the type of the actual shall have a
designated profile which is type conformant with that of the
access_definition.  

5.a
          Reason: See the corresponding rule for
          object_renaming_declarations for a discussion of the reason
          for this rule.

                           _Legality Rules_

6
If a generic formal object has a default_expression, then the mode shall
be in [(either explicitly or by default)]; otherwise, its mode shall be
either in or in out.

6.a
          Ramification: Mode out is not allowed for generic formal
          objects.

7
For a generic formal object of mode in, the actual shall be an
expression.  For a generic formal object of mode in out, the actual
shall be a name that denotes a variable for which renaming is allowed
(see *note 8.5.1::).

7.a
          To be honest: The part of this that requires an expression or
          name is a Name Resolution Rule, but that's too pedantic to
          worry about.  (The part about denoting a variable, and
          renaming being allowed, is most certainly <not> a Name
          Resolution Rule.)

8/2
{<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>} {<AI95-00423-01AI95-00423-01>} In the
case where the type of the formal is defined by an access_definition,
the type of the actual and the type of the formal:

8.1/2
   * {<AI95-00423-01AI95-00423-01>} shall both be access-to-object types
     with statically matching designated subtypes and with both or
     neither being access-to-constant types; or 

8.2/2
   * {<AI95-00423-01AI95-00423-01>} shall both be access-to-subprogram
     types with subtype conformant designated profiles.  

8.3/2
{<AI95-00423-01AI95-00423-01>} For a formal_object_declaration with a
null_exclusion or an access_definition that has a null_exclusion:

8.4/2
   * if the actual matching the formal_object_declaration denotes the
     generic formal object of another generic unit <G>, and the
     instantiation containing the actual occurs within the body of <G>
     or within the body of a generic unit declared within the
     declarative region of <G>, then the declaration of the formal
     object of <G> shall have a null_exclusion;

8.5/2
   * otherwise, the subtype of the actual matching the
     formal_object_declaration shall exclude null.  In addition to the
     places where Legality Rules normally apply (see *note 12.3::), this
     rule applies also in the private part of an instance of a generic
     unit.

8.a/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>}
          {<AI95-00423-01AI95-00423-01>} This rule prevents "lying".
          Null must never be the value of an object with an explicit
          null_exclusion.  The first bullet is an assume-the-worst rule
          which prevents trouble in generic bodies (including bodies of
          child units) when the subtype of the formal object excludes
          null implicitly.

                          _Static Semantics_

9/2
{<AI95-00255-01AI95-00255-01>} {<AI95-00423-01AI95-00423-01>} A
formal_object_declaration declares a generic formal object.  The default
mode is in.  For a formal object of mode in, the nominal subtype is the
one denoted by the subtype_mark or access_definition in the declaration
of the formal.  For a formal object of mode in out, its type is
determined by the subtype_mark or access_definition in the declaration;
its nominal subtype is nonstatic, even if the subtype_mark denotes a
static subtype; for a composite type, its nominal subtype is
unconstrained if the first subtype of the type is unconstrained[, even
if the subtype_mark denotes a constrained subtype].

9.a/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00255-01AI95-00255-01>} We require that the
          subtype is unconstrained because a formal in out acts like a
          renaming, and thus the given subtype is ignored for purposes
          of matching; any value of the type can be passed.  Thus we can
          assume only that the object is constrained if the first
          subtype is constrained (and thus there can be no unconstrained
          subtypes for the type).  If we didn't do this, it would be
          possible to rename or take 'Access of components that could
          disappear due to an assignment to the whole object.

9.b/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00423-01AI95-00423-01>} The two "even if"
          clauses are OK even though they don't mention
          access_definitions; an access subtype can neither be a static
          subtype nor be a composite type.

10/2
{<AI95-00269-01AI95-00269-01>} In an instance, a
formal_object_declaration of mode in is a <full constant declaration>
and declares a new stand-alone constant object whose initialization
expression is the actual, whereas a formal_object_declaration of mode in
out declares a view whose properties are identical to those of the
actual.

10.a/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>} These rules imply
          that generic formal objects of mode in are passed by copy (or
          are built-in-place for a limited type), whereas generic formal
          objects of mode in out are passed by reference.

10.b
          Initialization and finalization happen for the constant
          declared by a formal_object_declaration of mode in as for any
          constant; see *note 3.3.1::, "*note 3.3.1:: Object
          Declarations" and *note 7.6::, "*note 7.6:: Assignment and
          Finalization".

10.c
          In an instance, the subtype of a generic formal object of mode
          in is as for the equivalent constant.  In an instance, the
          subtype of a generic formal object of mode in out is the
          subtype of the corresponding generic actual.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

11
For the evaluation of a generic_association for a formal object of mode
in, a constant object is created, the value of the actual parameter is
converted to the nominal subtype of the formal object, and assigned to
the object[, including any value adjustment -- see *note 7.6::].  

11.a
          Ramification: This includes evaluating the actual and doing a
          subtype conversion, which might raise an exception.

11.b
          Discussion: The rule for evaluating a generic_association for
          a formal object of mode in out is covered by the general
          Dynamic Semantics rule in *note 12.3::.

     NOTES

12
     6  The constraints that apply to a generic formal object of mode in
     out are those of the corresponding generic actual parameter (not
     those implied by the subtype_mark that appears in the
     formal_object_declaration).  Therefore, to avoid confusion, it is
     recommended that the name of a first subtype be used for the
     declaration of such a formal object.

12.a
          Ramification: Constraint checks are done at instantiation time
          for formal objects of mode in, but not for formal objects of
          mode in out.

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

12.b
          In Ada 83, it is forbidden to pass a (nongeneric) formal
          parameter of mode out, or a subcomponent thereof, to a generic
          formal object of mode in out.  This restriction is removed in
          Ada 95.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

12.c
          We make "mode" explicit in the syntax.  RM83 refers to the
          mode without saying what it is.  This is also more uniform
          with the way (nongeneric) formal parameters are defined.

12.d
          We considered allowing mode out in Ada 95, for uniformity with
          (nongeneric) formal parameters.  The semantics would be
          identical for modes in out and out.  (Note that generic formal
          objects of mode in out are passed by reference.  Note that for
          (nongeneric) formal parameters that are allowed to be passed
          by reference, the semantics of in out and out is the same.
          The difference might serve as documentation.  The same would
          be true for generic formal objects, if out were allowed, so it
          would be consistent.)  We decided not to make this change,
          because it does not produce any important benefit, and any
          change has some cost.

          {<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>} A generic formal in object can
          have a limited type.  The actual for such an object must be

12.5 Formal Types
=================

{<AI95-00442-01AI95-00442-01>} [A generic formal subtype can be used to
pass to a generic unit a subtype whose type is in a certain category of
types.]

1.a
          Reason: We considered having intermediate syntactic categories
          formal_integer_type_definition, formal_real_type_definition,
          and formal_fixed_point_definition, to be more uniform with the
          syntax rules for non-generic-formal types.  However, that
          would make the rules for formal types slightly more
          complicated, and it would cause confusion, since
          formal_discrete_type_definition would not fit into the scheme
          very well.

                           _Legality Rules_

4
For a generic formal subtype, the actual shall be a subtype_mark; it
denotes the <(generic) actual subtype>.

4.a
          Ramification: When we say simply "formal" or "actual" (for a
          generic formal that denotes a subtype) we're talking about the
          subtype, not the type, since a name that denotes a
          formal_type_declaration denotes a subtype, and the
          corresponding actual also denotes a subtype.

                          _Static Semantics_

5
A formal_type_declaration declares a <(generic) formal type>, and its
first subtype, the <(generic) formal subtype>.

5.a
          Ramification: A subtype (other than the first subtype) of a
          generic formal type is not a generic formal subtype.

6/3
{<AI95-00442-01AI95-00442-01>} {<AI05-0213-1AI05-0213-1>} The form of a
formal_type_definition <determines a category (of types)> to which the
formal type belongs.  For a formal_private_type_definition the reserved
words tagged and limited indicate the category of types (see *note
12.5.1::).  The reserved word tagged also plays this role in the case of
a formal_incomplete_type_declaration.  For a
formal_derived_type_definition the category of types is the derivation
class rooted at the ancestor type.  For other formal types, the name of
the syntactic category indicates the category of types; a
formal_discrete_type_definition defines a discrete type, and so on.

6.a
          Reason: This rule is clearer with the flat syntax rule for
          formal_type_definition given above.  Adding
          formal_integer_type_definition and others would make this rule
          harder to state clearly.

6.b/2
          {<AI95-00442-01AI95-00442-01>} We use "category' rather than
          "class" above, because the requirement that classes are closed
          under derivation is not important here.  Moreover, there are
          interesting categories that are not closed under derivation.
          For instance, limited and interface are categories that do not
          form classes.

                           _Legality Rules_

7/2
{<AI95-00442-01AI95-00442-01>} The actual type shall be in the category
determined for the formal.

7.a/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00442-01AI95-00442-01>} For example, if
          the category determined for the formal is the category of all
          discrete types, then the actual has to be discrete.

7.b/2
          {<AI95-00442-01AI95-00442-01>} Note that this rule does not
          require the actual to belong to every category to which the
          formal belongs.  For example, formal private types are in the
          category of composite types, but the actual need not be
          composite.  Furthermore, one can imagine an infinite number of
          categories that are just arbitrary sets of types (even though
          we don't give them names, since they are uninteresting).  We
          don't want this rule to apply to <those> categories.

7.c/2
          {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} {<AI95-00442-01AI95-00442-01>}
          "Limited" is not an "interesting" category, but "nonlimited"
          is; it is legal to pass a nonlimited type to a limited formal
          type, but not the other way around.  The reserved word limited
          really represents a category containing both limited and
          nonlimited types.  "Private" is not a category for this
          purpose; a generic formal private type accepts both private
          and nonprivate actual types.

7.d/2
          {<AI95-00442-01AI95-00442-01>} It is legal to pass a
          class-wide subtype as the actual if it is in the right
          category, so long as the formal has unknown discriminants.

category that contains the determined category.]  The primitive
subprograms of the type are as for any type in the determined category.
For a formal type other than a formal derived type, these are the
predefined operators of the type.  For an elementary formal type, the
predefined operators are implicitly declared immediately after the
declaration of the formal type.  For a composite formal type, the
predefined operators are implicitly declared either immediately after
the declaration of the formal type, or later immediately within the
declarative region in which the type is declared according to the rules
of *note 7.3.1::.  In an instance, the copy of such an implicit
declaration declares a view of the predefined operator of the actual
type, even if this operator has been overridden for the actual type and
even if it is never declared for the actual type.  [The rules specific
to formal derived types are given in *note 12.5.1::.]

8.a/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00442-01AI95-00442-01>} All properties of
          the type are as for any type in the category.  Some examples:
          The primitive operations available are as defined by the
          language for each category.  The form of constraint applicable
          to a formal type in a subtype_indication depends on the
          category of the type as for a nonformal type.  The formal type
          is tagged if and only if it is declared as a tagged private
          type, or as a type derived from a (visibly) tagged type.

          An "=" is available for the formal type A in the private part
          of Q.G. However, no "=" operator is ever declared for type C,
          because its component type Q.T is limited.  Still, in the
          instance I the name "=" declares a view of the "=" for C which
          exists-but-is-never-declared.

     NOTES

9
     7  Generic formal types, like all types, are not named.  Instead, a
     name can denote a generic formal subtype.  Within a generic unit, a
     generic formal type is considered as being distinct from all other
     (formal or nonformal) types.

9.a
          Proof: This follows from the fact that each
          formal_type_declaration declares a type.

10
     8  A discriminant_part is allowed only for certain kinds of types,
     and therefore only for certain kinds of generic formal types.  See
     *note 3.7::.

10.a
          Ramification: The term "formal floating point type" refers to
          a type defined by a formal_floating_point_definition.  It does
          not include a formal derived type whose ancestor is floating
          point.  Similar terminology applies to the other kinds of
          formal_type_definition.

                              _Examples_

11
<Examples of generic formal types:>

12
     type Item is private;
     type Buffer(Length : Natural) is limited private;

13
     type Enum  is (<>);
     type Int   is range <>;
     type Angle is delta <>;
     type Mass  is digits <>;

14
     type Table is array (Enum) of Item;

15
<Example of a generic formal part declaring a formal integer type:>

16
     generic
        type Rank is range <>;
        First  : Rank := Rank'First;
        Second : Rank := First + 1;  --<  the operator "+" of the type Rank  >

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

16.a
          RM83 has separate sections "Generic Formal Xs" and "Matching
          Rules for Formal Xs" (for various X's) with most of the text
          redundant between the two.  We have combined the two in order
          to reduce the redundancy.  In RM83, there is no "Matching
          Rules for Formal Types" section; nor is there a "Generic
          Formal Y Types" section (for Y = Private, Scalar, Array, and
          Access).  This causes, for example, the duplication across all
          the "Matching Rules for Y Types" sections of the rule that the
          actual passed to a formal type shall be a subtype; the new
          organization avoids that problem.

16.b
          The matching rules are stated more concisely.

16.c
          We no longer consider the multiplying operators that deliver a
          result of type <universal_fixed> to be predefined for the
          various types; there is only one of each in package Standard.
          Therefore, we need not mention them here as RM83 had to.

          {<AI95-00233-01AI95-00233-01>} Corrigendum 1 corrected the
          wording to properly define the location where operators are
          defined for formal array types.  The wording here was
          inconsistent with that in *note 7.3.1::, "*note 7.3.1::
          Private Operations".  For the Amendment, this wording was
          corrected again, because it didn't reflect the Corrigendum 1
          revisions in *note 7.3.1::.

16.e/2
          {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} Formal interface types are

          Types".

16.f/2
          {<AI95-00442-01AI95-00442-01>} We use "determines a category"
          rather than class, since not all interesting properties form a
          class.

16.g/3
          {<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>} An optional aspect_specification
          can be used in a formal_type_declaration.  This is described
          in *note 13.1.1::.

          acknowledge the possibility of operations that are never
          declared for an actual type but still can be used inside of a

12.5.1 Formal Private and Derived Types
---------------------------------------

1/3
{<AI95-00442-01AI95-00442-01>} {<AI05-0213-1AI05-0213-1>} [In its most
general form, the category determined for a formal private type is all
types, but the category can be restricted to only nonlimited types or to
only tagged types.  Similarly, the category for a formal incomplete type
is all types but the category can be restricted to only tagged types;
unlike other formal types, the actual type does not need to be able to
be frozen (see *note 13.14::).  The category determined for a formal
derived type is the derivation class rooted at the ancestor type.]

1.a/3
          Proof: {<AI95-00442-01AI95-00442-01>}
          {<AI05-0213-1AI05-0213-1>} The first two rules are given
          normatively below, and the third rule is given normatively in
          *note 12.5::; they are repeated here to give a capsule summary
          of what this subclause is about.

1.b/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0213-1AI05-0213-1>} Since the actual of a
          formal incomplete type does not need to be able to be frozen,
          the actual can be an incomplete type or a partial view before
          its completion.

                           _Legality Rules_

4
If a generic formal type declaration has a known_discriminant_part, then
it shall not include a default_expression for a discriminant.

4.a
          Ramification: Consequently, a generic formal subtype with a
          known_discriminant_part is an indefinite subtype, so the
          declaration of a stand-alone variable has to provide a
          constraint on such a subtype, either explicitly, or by its
          initial value.

5/3
{<AI95-00401-01AI95-00401-01>} {<AI95-00419-01AI95-00419-01>}
{<AI95-00443-01AI95-00443-01>} {<AI05-0237-1AI05-0237-1>} The <ancestor
subtype> of a formal derived type is the subtype denoted by the
subtype_mark of the formal_derived_type_definition.  For a formal
derived type declaration, the reserved words with private shall appear
if and only if the ancestor type is a tagged type; in this case the
formal derived type is a private extension of the ancestor type and the
ancestor shall not be a class-wide type.  [Similarly, an interface_list
or the optional reserved words abstract or synchronized shall appear
only if the ancestor type is a tagged type].  The reserved word limited
or synchronized shall appear only if the ancestor type [and any
progenitor types] are limited types.  The reserved word synchronized
shall appear (rather than limited) if the ancestor type or any of the
progenitor types are synchronized interfaces.  The ancestor type shall
be a limited interface if the reserved word synchronized appears.

5.a
          Reason: We use the term "ancestor" here instead of "parent"
          because the actual can be any descendant of the ancestor, not
          necessarily a direct descendant.

5.b/3
          {<AI95-00419-01AI95-00419-01>} {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} We
          require the ancestor type to be limited when limited appears
          so that we avoid oddities like limited integer types.
          Normally, limited means "match anything" for a generic formal,
          but it was felt that allowing limited elementary types to be
          declared was just too weird.  Integer still matches a formal
          limited private type; it is only a problem when the type is
          known to be elementary.  Note that the progenitors are
          required to be limited by rules in *note 3.9.4::, thus that
          part of the rule is redundant.

5.c/2
          {<AI95-00443-01AI95-00443-01>} We require that synchronized
          appear if the ancestor or any of the progenitors are
          synchronized, so that property is explicitly given in the
          program text - it is not automatically inherited from the
          ancestors.  However, it can be given even if neither the
          ancestor nor the progenitors are synchronized.

5.1/4
{<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} {<AI95-00401-01AI95-00401-01>}
{<AI95-00443-01AI95-00443-01>} {<AI05-0087-1AI05-0087-1>}
{<AI12-0036-1AI12-0036-1>} The actual type for a formal derived type
shall be a descendant of [the ancestor type and] every progenitor of the
formal type.  If the formal type is nonlimited, the actual type shall be
nonlimited.  The actual type for a formal derived type shall be tagged
if and only if the formal derived type is a private extension.  If the
reserved word synchronized appears in the declaration of the formal
derived type, the actual type shall be a synchronized tagged type.

5.d/2
          Proof: The actual type has to be a descendant of the ancestor
          type, in order that it be in the correct class.  Thus, that
          part of the rule is redundant.

5.e/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} For a nonformal private
          extension, we require the partial view to be synchronized if
          the full view is synchronized tagged.  This does not apply to
          a formal private extension -- it is OK if the formal is not
          synchronized.  Any attempt to extend the formal type will be
          rechecked in the instance, where the rule disallowing
          extending a synchronized noninterface type will be enforced.
          This is consistent with the "no hidden interfaces" rule also
          applying only to nonformal private extensions, as well as the
          rule that a limited nonformal private extension implies a
          limited full type.  Formal private extensions are exempted
          from all these rules to enable the construction of generics
          that can be used with the widest possible range of types.  In
          particular, an indefinite tagged limited formal private type
          can match any "concrete" actual tagged type.

5.f/3
          {<AI05-0087-1AI05-0087-1>} A type (including formal types)
          derived from a limited interface could be nonlimited; we do
          not want a limited type derived from such an interface to
          match a nonlimited formal derived type.  Otherwise, we could
          assign limited objects.  Thus, we have to explicitly ban this
          case.

5.g/4
          {<AI12-0036-1AI12-0036-1>} If we allowed actual types that
          differ from the kind of the formal derived type, we could
          allow type conversions that would not be allowed outside of
          the generic.  That would be particularly problematical if the
          actual is a tagged type with extension components; we could
          have created an object of the type that is missing those
          components by converting from the ancestor type to a formal
          derived type that is not an extension.

6/3
{<AI05-0213-1AI05-0213-1>} If a formal private or derived subtype is
definite, then the actual subtype shall also be definite.

6.a
          Ramification: On the other hand, for an indefinite formal
          subtype, the actual can be either definite or indefinite.

6.1/3
{<AI05-0213-1AI05-0213-1>} A formal_incomplete_type_declaration declares
a formal incomplete type.  The only view of a formal incomplete type is
an incomplete view.  [Thus, a formal incomplete type is subject to the
same usage restrictions as any other incomplete type -- see *note
3.10.1::.]

7
For a generic formal derived type with no discriminant_part:

8
   * If the ancestor subtype is constrained, the actual subtype shall be
     constrained, and shall be statically compatible with the ancestor;

8.a
          Ramification: In other words, any constraint on the ancestor
          subtype is considered part of the "contract."

9
   * If the ancestor subtype is an unconstrained access or composite
     subtype, the actual subtype shall be unconstrained.

9.a
          Reason: This rule ensures that if a composite constraint is
          allowed on the formal, one is also allowed on the actual.  If
          the ancestor subtype is an unconstrained scalar subtype, the
          actual is allowed to be constrained, since a scalar constraint
          does not cause further constraints to be illegal.

10
   * If the ancestor subtype is an unconstrained discriminated subtype,
     then the actual shall have the same number of discriminants, and
     each discriminant of the actual shall correspond to a discriminant
     of the ancestor, in the sense of *note 3.7::.

10.a
          Reason: This ensures that if a discriminant constraint is
          given on the formal subtype, the corresponding constraint in
          the instance will make sense, without additional run-time
          checks.  This is not necessary for arrays, since the bounds
          cannot be overridden in a type extension.  An
          unknown_discriminant_part may be used to relax these matching
          requirements.

10.1/2
   * {<AI95-00231-01AI95-00231-01>} If the ancestor subtype is an access
     subtype, the actual subtype shall exclude null if and only if the
     ancestor subtype excludes null.

10.b/2
          Reason: We require that the "excludes null" property match,
          because it would be difficult to write a correct generic for a
          formal access type without knowing this property.  Many
          typical algorithms and techniques will not work for a subtype
          that excludes null (setting an unused component to null,
          default-initialized objects, and so on).  We want this sort of
          requirement to be reflected in the contract of the generic.

11/3
{<AI05-0213-1AI05-0213-1>} The declaration of a formal derived type
shall not have a known_discriminant_part.  For a generic formal private
or incomplete type with a known_discriminant_part:

12
   * The actual type shall be a type with the same number of
     discriminants.

13
   * The actual subtype shall be unconstrained.

14
   * The subtype of each discriminant of the actual type shall
     statically match the subtype of the corresponding discriminant of
     the formal type.  

14.a
          Reason: We considered defining the first and third rule to be
          called "subtype conformance" for discriminant_parts.  We
          rejected that idea, because it would require implicit
          (inherited) discriminant_parts, which seemed like too much
          mechanism.

15
[For a generic formal type with an unknown_discriminant_part, the actual
may, but need not, have discriminants, and may be definite or
indefinite.]

15.1/4
{<AI12-0095-1AI12-0095-1>} When enforcing Legality Rules, for the
purposes of determining within a generic body whether a type is
unconstrained in any partial view, a discriminated subtype is considered
to have a constrained partial view if it is a descendant of an untagged
generic formal private or derived type.

                          _Static Semantics_

16/2
{<AI95-00442-01AI95-00442-01>} The category determined for a formal
private type is as follows:

17/2
     <Type Definition>    <Determined Category>

     limited private    the category of all types
     private    the category of all nonlimited types
     tagged limited private    the category of all tagged types
     tagged private    the category of all nonlimited tagged types

18
[The presence of the reserved word abstract determines whether the
actual type may be abstract.]

18.1/3
{<AI05-0213-1AI05-0213-1>} The category determined for a formal
incomplete type is the category of all types, unless the
formal_type_declaration includes the reserved word tagged; in this case,
it is the category of all tagged types.

19
A formal private or derived type is a private or derived type,
respectively.  A formal derived tagged type is a private extension.  [A
formal private or derived type is abstract if the reserved word abstract
appears in its declaration.]

20/3
{<AI95-00233-01AI95-00233-01>} {<AI05-0110-1AI05-0110-1>} For a formal
derived type, the characteristics (including components, but excluding
discriminants if there is a new discriminant_part), predefined
operators, and inherited user-defined primitive subprograms are
determined by its ancestor type and its progenitor types (if any), in
the same way that those of a derived type are determined by those of its
parent type and its progenitor types (see *note 3.4:: and *note
7.3.1::).

{<AI05-0029-1AI05-0029-1>} {<AI05-0110-1AI05-0110-1>} In an instance,
the copy of an implicit declaration of a primitive subprogram of a
formal derived type declares a view of the corresponding primitive
subprogram of the ancestor or progenitor of the formal derived type,
even if this primitive has been overridden for the actual type and even
if it is never declared for the actual type.  When the ancestor or
progenitor of the formal derived type is itself a formal type, the copy
of the implicit declaration declares a view of the corresponding copied
operation of the ancestor or progenitor.  [In the case of a formal
private extension, however, the tag of the formal type is that of the
actual type, so if the tag in a call is statically determined to be that
of the formal type, the body executed will be that corresponding to the
actual type.]

21.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI95-00401-01AI95-00401-01>}
          {<AI05-0239-1AI05-0239-1>} The above rule defining the
          properties of primitive subprograms in an instance applies
          even if the subprogram has been overridden or hidden for the
          actual type.  This rule is necessary for untagged types,
          because their primitive subprograms might have been overridden
          by operations that are not subtype conformant with the
          operations defined for the class.  For tagged types, the rule
          still applies, but the primitive subprograms will dispatch to
          the appropriate implementation based on the type and tag of
          the operands.  Even for tagged types, the formal parameter
          names and default_expressions are determined by those of the
          primitive subprograms of the specified ancestor type (or
          progenitor type, for subprograms inherited from an interface
          type).

21.b/4
          To be honest: {<AI12-0030-1AI12-0030-1>} The availability of
          stream attributes is not formally a characteristic of a type,
          but it is still determined by the ancestor type for a formal
          derived type in the same way as the characteristics are.
          Availability is rechecked in the instance specification.

22/1
For a prefix S that denotes a formal indefinite subtype, the following
attribute is defined:

23/3
S'Definite
               {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} S'Definite yields True if the
               actual subtype corresponding to S is definite; otherwise,
               it yields False.  The value of this attribute is of the

          Discussion: {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} Whether an actual
          subtype is definite or indefinite may have a major effect on
          the algorithm used in a generic.  For example, in a generic
          I/O package, whether to use fixed-length or variable-length
          records could depend on whether the actual is definite or
          indefinite.  This attribute is essentially a replacement for
          the Constrained attribute, which is now considered obsolete.

23.1/3
{<AI95-00158-01AI95-00158-01>} {<AI05-0071-1AI05-0071-1>} In the case
where a formal type has unknown discriminants, and the actual type is a
class-wide type <T>'Class:

23.2/2
   * {<AI95-00158-01AI95-00158-01>} For the purposes of defining the
     primitive operations of the formal type, each of the primitive
     operations of the actual type is considered to be a subprogram
     (with an intrinsic calling convention -- see *note 6.3.1::) whose
     body consists of a dispatching call upon the corresponding
     operation of <T>, with its formal parameters as the actual
     parameters.  If it is a function, the result of the dispatching
     call is returned.

23.3/2
   * {<AI95-00158-01AI95-00158-01>} If the corresponding operation of
     <T> has no controlling formal parameters, then the controlling tag
     value is determined by the context of the call, according to the
     rules for tag-indeterminate calls (see *note 3.9.2:: and *note
     5.2::).  In the case where the tag would be statically determined
     to be that of the formal type, the call raises Program_Error.  If
     such a function is renamed, any call on the renaming raises
     Program_Error.  

23.b/2
          Discussion: As it states in *note 6.3.1::, the convention of
          an inherited subprogram of a generic formal tagged type with
          unknown discriminants is intrinsic.

23.c/2
          In the case of a corresponding primitive of T with no
          controlling formal parameters, the context of the call
          provides the controlling tag value for the dispatch.  If no
          tag is provided by context, Program_Error is raised rather
          than resorting to a nondispatching call.  For example:

23.d/2
               generic
                  type NT(<>) is new T with private;
                   -- <Assume T has operation ">function Empty return T;<">

     NOTES

24/2
     9  {<AI95-00442-01AI95-00442-01>} In accordance with the general
     rule that the actual type shall belong to the category determined
     for the formal (see *note 12.5::, "*note 12.5:: Formal Types"):

25
        * If the formal type is nonlimited, then so shall be the actual;

26
        * For a formal derived type, the actual shall be in the class
          rooted at the ancestor subtype.

27
     10  The actual type can be abstract only if the formal type is
     abstract (see *note 3.9.3::).

27.a
          Reason: This is necessary to avoid contract model problems,
          since one or more of its primitive subprograms are abstract;
          it is forbidden to create objects of the type, or to declare
          functions returning the type.

27.b
          Ramification: On the other hand, it is OK to pass a
          nonabstract actual to an abstract formal -- abstract on the
          formal indicates that the actual might be abstract.

28
     11  If the formal has a discriminant_part, the actual can be either
     definite or indefinite.  Otherwise, the actual has to be definite.

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 83_

28.a
          Ada 83 does not have unknown_discriminant_parts, so it allows
          indefinite subtypes to be passed to definite formals, and
          applies a legality rule to the instance body.  This is a
          contract model violation.  Ada 95 disallows such cases at the
          point of the instantiation.  The workaround is to add (<>) as
          the discriminant_part of any formal subtype if it is intended
          to be used with indefinite actuals.  If that's the intent,
          then there can't be anything in the generic body that would
          require a definite subtype.

28.b
          The check for discriminant subtype matching is changed from a
          run-time check to a compile-time check.

          A generic formal derived type can include progenitors
          (interfaces) as well as a primary ancestor.  It also may
          include limited to indicate that it is a limited type, and
          synchronized to indicate that it is a synchronized type.

28.m/3

          inheritance of characteristics and operations of formal
          derived types to be reuse the rules as defined for derived
          types; this should eliminate holes in the wording which have
          plagued us since Ada 95 was defined (it has been "corrected"
          four previous times).

28.n/3
          {<AI05-0237-1AI05-0237-1>} Correction: Added missing rule for
          the ancestors of formal derived types.  The added rule would
          formally be incompatible, but since it would be impossible to
          instantiate any such generic, this cannot happen outside of
          test suites and thus is not documented as an incompatibility.

28.o/4

          that a tagged type only match a formal derived type that is a
          private extension.  This is necessary to prevent type
          conversions that would not be allowed outside of the generic.
          We expect that this will be rare, as it only can happen if the
          formal derived type does not accurately describe the actual
          type; in most such cases, extension will be desired and a
          private extension used so that is allowed.

          rule for determining within a generic body whether a type is
          unconstrained in any partial view was moved here.  While
          AI05-0041-1 added it to *note 3.10.2::, it's also needed (at
          least) in *note 4.6:: and *note 6.4.1::.  Thus, it was moved
          here so that it applies generally.

8
The actual type for a formal scalar type shall not be a nonstandard
numeric type.

8.a
          Reason: This restriction is necessary because nonstandard
          numeric types have some number of restrictions on their use,
          which could cause contract model problems in a generic body.
          Note that nonstandard numeric types can be passed to formal
          derived and formal private subtypes, assuming they obey all
          the other rules, and assuming the implementation allows it
          (being nonstandard means the implementation might disallow
          anything).

     NOTES

     12  The actual type shall be in the class of types implied by the
     syntactic category of the formal type definition (see *note 12.5::,
     "*note 12.5:: Formal Types").  For example, the actual for a

3
The only form of discrete_subtype_definition that is allowed within the
declaration of a generic formal (constrained) array subtype is a
subtype_mark.

3.a
          Reason: The reason is the same as for forbidding constraints
          in subtype_indications (see *note 12.1::).

4
For a formal array subtype, the actual subtype shall satisfy the
following conditions:

5
   * The formal array type and the actual array type shall have the same
     dimensionality; the formal subtype and the actual subtype shall be
     either both constrained or both unconstrained.

6
   * For each index position, the index types shall be the same, and the
     index subtypes (if unconstrained), or the index ranges (if
     constrained), shall statically match (see *note 4.9.1::).  

7
   * The component subtypes of the formal and actual array types shall
     statically match.  

8
   * If the formal type has aliased components, then so shall the
     actual.

8.a
          Ramification: On the other hand, if the formal's components
          are not aliased, then the actual's components can be either
          aliased or not.

          work for a subtype that excludes null (setting an unused
          component to null, default-initialized objects, and so on).
          Even Ada.Unchecked_Deallocation would fail for a subtype that
          excludes null.  Most generics would end up with comments
          saying that they are not intended to work for subtypes that
          exclude null.  We would rather that this sort of requirement
          be reflected in the contract of the generic.

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 83_

13.a
          The check for matching of designated subtypes is changed from
          a run-time check to a compile-time check.  The Ada 83 rule
          that "If the designated type is other than a scalar type, then
          the designated subtypes shall be either both constrained or
          both unconstrained" is removed, since it is subsumed by static
          matching.

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

13.b
          Formal access-to-subprogram subtypes and formal general access
          types are new concepts.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

13.c/2
          {<AI95-00231-01AI95-00231-01>} Added a matching rule for
          subtypes that exclude null.

13.d/2
          {<AI95-00442-01AI95-00442-01>} We change to "determines a
          category" as that is the new terminology (it avoids confusion,
          since not all interesting properties form a class).

                   _Incompatibilities With Ada 2005_

13.e/3
          {<AI05-0288-1AI05-0288-1>} Correction: Matching of formal
          access-to-subprogram types now uses subtype conformance rather
          than mode conformance, which is needed to plug a hole.  This
          could cause some instantiations legal in Ada 95 and Ada 2005
          to be rejected in Ada 2012.  We believe that formal
          access-to-subprogram types occur rarely, and actuals that are
          not subtype conformant are rarer still, so this should not
          happen often.  (In addition, one popular compiler has a bug
          that causes such instances to be rejected, so no code compiled
          with that compiler could have an incompatibility.)

12.5.5 Formal Interface Types
-----------------------------

category determined for a formal interface type is the category of all
interface types.]

1.a/2
          Proof: {<AI95-00442-01AI95-00442-01>} This rule follows from
          the rule in *note 12.5:: that says that the category is
          determined by the one given in the name of the syntax
          production.  The effect of the rule is repeated here to give a
          capsule summary of what this subclause is about.

1.b/2
          Ramification: Here we're taking advantage of our switch in
          terminology from "determined class" to "determined category";
          by saying "category" rather than "class", we require that any
          actual type be an interface type, not just some type derived
          from an interface type.

4.a/2
          Discussion: We require the kind of interface type to match
          exactly because without that it is almost impossible to
          properly implement the interface.

                              _Examples_

12.6 Formal Subprograms
=======================

1
[ Formal subprograms can be used to pass callable entities to a generic
unit.]

                     _Language Design Principles_

1.a
          Generic formal subprograms are like renames of the
          explicit_generic_actual_parameter.

                               _Syntax_

2/2
     {<AI95-00260-02AI95-00260-02>} formal_subprogram_declaration ::=
     formal_concrete_subprogram_declaration
         | formal_abstract_subprogram_declaration

2.1/3
     {<AI95-00260-02AI95-00260-02>} {<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>}
     formal_concrete_subprogram_declaration ::=
          with subprogram_specification [is subprogram_default]
             [aspect_specification];

2.2/3
     {<AI95-00260-02AI95-00260-02>} {<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>}
     formal_abstract_subprogram_declaration ::=
          with subprogram_specification is abstract [subprogram_default]
             [aspect_specification];

3/2
     {<AI95-00348-01AI95-00348-01>} subprogram_default ::=
     default_name | <> | null

4
     default_name ::= name

4.1/2
     {<AI95-00260-02AI95-00260-02>} {<AI95-00348-01AI95-00348-01>} A
     subprogram_default of null shall not be specified for a formal
     function or for a formal_abstract_subprogram_declaration.

4.a/2
          Reason: There are no null functions because the return value
          has to be constructed somehow.  We don't allow null for
          abstract formal procedures, as the operation is dispatching.
          It doesn't seem appropriate (or useful) to say that the
          implementation of something is null in the formal type and all
          possible descendants of that type.  This also would define a
          dispatching operation that doesn't correspond to a slot in the
          tag of the controlling type, which would be a new concept.
          Finally, additional rules would be needed to define the
          meaning of a dispatching null procedure (for instance, the
          convention of such a subprogram should be intrinsic, but
          that's not what the language says).  It doesn't seem worth the
          effort.

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

5
The expected profile for the default_name, if any, is that of the formal
subprogram.

5.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} This rule, unlike
          others in this subclause, is observed at compile time of the
          generic_declaration.

5.b
          The evaluation of the default_name takes place during the
          elaboration of each instantiation that uses the default, as
          defined in *note 12.3::, "*note 12.3:: Generic Instantiation".

6
For a generic formal subprogram, the expected profile for the actual is
that of the formal subprogram.

                           _Legality Rules_

7/3
{<AI05-0239-1AI05-0239-1>} The profiles of the formal and any named
default shall be mode conformant.  

7.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} This rule, unlike
          others in this subclause, is checked at compile time of the
          generic_declaration.

8/3
{<AI05-0239-1AI05-0239-1>} The profiles of the formal and actual shall
be mode conformant.  

8.1/2
{<AI95-00423-01AI95-00423-01>} For a parameter or result subtype of a
formal_subprogram_declaration that has an explicit null_exclusion:

8.2/2
   * if the actual matching the formal_subprogram_declaration denotes a
     generic formal object of another generic unit <G>, and the
     instantiation containing the actual that occurs within the body of
     a generic unit <G> or within the body of a generic unit declared
     within the declarative region of the generic unit <G>, then the
     corresponding parameter or result type of the formal subprogram of
     <G> shall have a null_exclusion;

8.3/2
   * otherwise, the subtype of the corresponding parameter or result
     type of the actual matching the formal_subprogram_declaration shall
     exclude null.  In addition to the places where Legality Rules
     normally apply (see *note 12.3::), this rule applies also in the
     private part of an instance of a generic unit.

8.a/2
          Reason: This rule prevents "lying".  Null must never be the
          value of a parameter or result with an explicit
          null_exclusion.  The first bullet is an assume-the-worst rule
          which prevents trouble in generic bodies (including bodies of
          child generics) when the formal subtype excludes null
          implicitly.

8.4/3
{<AI95-00260-02AI95-00260-02>} {<AI05-0296-1AI05-0296-1>} If a formal
parameter of a formal_abstract_subprogram_declaration (*note 12.6:
S0298.) is of a specific tagged type <T> or of an anonymous access type
designating a specific tagged type <T>, <T> is called a <controlling
type> of the formal_abstract_subprogram_declaration (*note 12.6:
S0298.).  Similarly, if the result of a
formal_abstract_subprogram_declaration (*note 12.6: S0298.) for a
function is of a specific tagged type <T> or of an anonymous access type
designating a specific tagged type <T>, <T> is called a controlling type
of the formal_abstract_subprogram_declaration (*note 12.6: S0298.).  A
formal_abstract_subprogram_declaration (*note 12.6: S0298.) shall have
exactly one controlling type, and that type shall not be incomplete.  

8.b/2
          Ramification: The specific tagged type could be any of a
          formal tagged private type, a formal derived type, a formal
          interface type, or a normal tagged type.  While the last case
          doesn't seem to be very useful, there isn't any good reason
          for disallowing it.  This rule ensures that the operation is a
          dispatching operation of some type, and that we unambiguously
          know what that type is.

8.c/2
          We informally call a subprogram declared by a
          formal_abstract_subprogram_declaration (*note 12.6: S0298.) an
          <abstract formal subprogram>, but we do not use this term in
          normative wording.  (We do use it often in these notes.)

8.5/2
{<AI95-00260-02AI95-00260-02>} The actual subprogram for a
formal_abstract_subprogram_declaration (*note 12.6: S0298.) shall be a
dispatching operation of the controlling type or of the actual type
corresponding to the controlling type.

8.d/2
          To be honest: We mean the controlling type of the
          formal_abstract_subprogram_declaration (*note 12.6: S0298.),
          of course.  Saying that gets unwieldy and redundant (so says
          at least one reviewer, anyway).

8.e/2
          Ramification: This means that the actual is either a primitive
          operation of the controlling type, or an abstract formal
          subprogram.  Also note that this prevents the controlling type
          from being class-wide (with one exception explained below), as
          only specific types have primitive operations (and a formal
          subprogram eventually has to have an actual that is a
          primitive of some type).  This could happen in a case like:

8.f/2
               generic
                  type T(<>) is tagged private;
                  with procedure Foo (Obj : in T) is abstract;
               package P ...

8.g/2
               package New_P is new P (Something'Class, Some_Proc);

8.h/2
          The instantiation here is always illegal, because Some_Proc
          could never be a primitive operation of Something'Class (there
          are no such operations).  That's good, because we want calls
          to Foo always to be dispatching calls.

8.i/2
          Since it is possible for a formal tagged type to be
          instantiated with a class-wide type, it is possible for the
          (real) controlling type to be class-wide in one unusual case:

8.j/2
               generic
                  type NT(<>) is new T with private;
                  -- <Presume that T has the following primitive operation:>
                  -- with procedure Bar (Obj : in T);
               package Gr ...

8.k/2
               package body Gr is
                  package New_P2 is new P (NT, Foo => Bar);
               end Gr;

8.l/2
               package New_Gr is new Gr (Something'Class);

8.m/2
          The instantiation of New_P2 is legal, since Bar is a
          dispatching operation of the actual type of the controlling
          type of the abstract formal subprogram Foo.  This is not a
          problem, since the rules given in *note 12.5.1:: explain how
          this routine dispatches even though its parameter is
          class-wide.

8.n/2
          Note that this legality rule never needs to be rechecked in an
          instance (that contains a nested instantiation).  The rule
          only talks about the actual type of the instantiation; it does
          not require looking further; if the actual type is in fact a
          formal type, we do not intend looking at the actual for that
          formal.

                          _Static Semantics_

9
A formal_subprogram_declaration declares a generic formal subprogram.
The types of the formal parameters and result, if any, of the formal
subprogram are those determined by the subtype_marks given in the
formal_subprogram_declaration; however, independent of the particular
subtypes that are denoted by the subtype_marks, the nominal subtypes of
the formal parameters and result, if any, are defined to be nonstatic,
and unconstrained if of an array type [(no applicable index constraint
is provided in a call on a formal subprogram)].  In an instance, a
formal_subprogram_declaration declares a view of the actual.  The
profile of this view takes its subtypes and calling convention from the
original profile of the actual entity, while taking the formal parameter
names and default_expression (*note 3.7: S0063.)s from the profile given
in the formal_subprogram_declaration (*note 12.6: S0296.).  The view is
a function or procedure, never an entry.

9.a
          Discussion: This rule is intended to be the same as the one
          for renamings-as-declarations, where the
          formal_subprogram_declaration is analogous to a
          renaming-as-declaration, and the actual is analogous to the
          renamed view.

9.1/3
{<AI05-0071-1AI05-0071-1>} {<AI05-0131-1AI05-0131-1>} If a subtype_mark
in the profile of the formal_subprogram_declaration denotes a formal
private or formal derived type and the actual type for this formal type
is a class-wide type <T>'Class, then for the purposes of resolving the
corresponding actual subprogram at the point of the instantiation,
certain implicit declarations may be available as possible resolutions
as follows:

9.2/3
          For each primitive subprogram of <T> that is directly visible
          at the point of the instantiation, and that has at least one
          controlling formal parameter, a corresponding implicitly
          declared subprogram with the same defining name, and having
          the same profile as the primitive subprogram except that <T>
          is systematically replaced by <T>'Class in the types of its
          profile, is potentially use-visible.  The body of such a
          subprogram is as defined in *note 12.5.1:: for primitive
          subprograms of a formal type when the actual type is
          class-wide.

9.b/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0071-1AI05-0071-1>} {<AI05-0131-1AI05-0131-1>}
          This gives the same capabilities to formal subprograms as
          those that primitive operations of the formal type have when
          the actual type is class-wide.  We do not want to discourage
          the use of explicit declarations for (formal) subprograms!

9.c/3
          Implementation Note: {<AI05-0071-1AI05-0071-1>}
          {<AI05-0131-1AI05-0131-1>} Although the above wording seems to
          require constructing implicit versions of all of the primitive
          subprograms of type <T>, it should be clear that a compiler
          only needs to consider those that could possibly resolve to
          the corresponding actual subprogram.  For instance, if the
          formal subprogram is a procedure with two parameters, and the
          actual subprogram name is Bar (either given explicitly or by
          default), the compiler need not consider primitives that are
          functions, that have the wrong number of parameters, that have
          defining names other than Bar, and so on; thus it does not
          need to construct implicit declarations for those primitives.

9.d/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0071-1AI05-0071-1>}
          {<AI05-0131-1AI05-0131-1>} Functions that only have a
          controlling result and do not have a controlling parameter of
          <T> are not covered by this rule, as any call would be
          required to raise Program_Error by *note 12.5.1::.  It is
          better to detect the error earlier than at run time.

10
If a generic unit has a subprogram_default specified by a box, and the
corresponding actual parameter is omitted, then it is equivalent to an
explicit actual parameter that is a usage name identical to the defining
name of the formal.

10.1/2
{<AI95-00348-01AI95-00348-01>} If a generic unit has a
subprogram_default specified by the reserved word null, and the
corresponding actual parameter is omitted, then it is equivalent to an
explicit actual parameter that is a null procedure having the profile
given in the formal_subprogram_declaration (*note 12.6: S0296.).

10.2/2
{<AI95-00260-02AI95-00260-02>} The subprogram declared by a
formal_abstract_subprogram_declaration (*note 12.6: S0298.) with a
controlling type <T> is a dispatching operation of type <T>.

10.a/2
          Reason: This is necessary to trigger all of the dispatching
          operation rules.  It otherwise would not be considered a
          dispatching operation, as formal subprograms are never
          primitive operations.

     NOTES

11
     13  The matching rules for formal subprograms state requirements
     that are similar to those applying to
     subprogram_renaming_declarations (see *note 8.5.4::).  In
     particular, the name of a parameter of the formal subprogram need
     not be the same as that of the corresponding parameter of the
     actual subprogram; similarly, for these parameters,
     default_expressions need not correspond.

12
     14  The constraints that apply to a parameter of a formal
     subprogram are those of the corresponding formal parameter of the
     matching actual subprogram (not those implied by the corresponding
     subtype_mark in the _specification of the formal subprogram).  A
     similar remark applies to the result of a function.  Therefore, to
     avoid confusion, it is recommended that the name of a first subtype
     be used in any declaration of a formal subprogram.

13
     15  The subtype specified for a formal parameter of a generic
     formal subprogram can be any visible subtype, including a generic
     formal subtype of the same generic_formal_part.

14
     16  A formal subprogram is matched by an attribute of a type if the
     attribute is a function with a matching specification.  An
     enumeration literal of a given type matches a parameterless formal
     function whose result type is the given type.

15
     17  A default_name denotes an entity that is visible or directly
     visible at the place of the generic_declaration; a box used as a
     default is equivalent to a name that denotes an entity that is
     directly visible at the place of the _instantiation.

15.a
          Proof: Visibility and name resolution are applied to the
          equivalent explicit actual parameter.

16/2
     18  {<AI95-00260-02AI95-00260-02>} The actual subprogram cannot be

          Proof: This is an implicitly declared subprogram, so it has
          convention Intrinsic as defined in *note 6.3.1::.

          dispatching call on the subprogram is likely to fail in many
          implementations.  So it is very unlikely that any code will
          need to be changed because of this new rule.

          Correction as it is very important for the usability of

12.7 Formal Packages
====================

1
[ Formal packages can be used to pass packages to a generic unit.  The
formal_package_declaration declares that the formal package is an
instance of a given generic package.  Upon instantiation, the actual
package has to be an instance of that generic package.]

                               _Syntax_

2/3
     {<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>} formal_package_declaration ::=
         with package defining_identifier is new <generic_package_>
     name  formal_package_actual_part
             [aspect_specification];

3/2
     {<AI95-00317-01AI95-00317-01>} formal_package_actual_part ::=
         ([others =>] <>)
       | [generic_actual_part]
       | (formal_package_association {, 
     formal_package_association} [, others => <>])

3.1/2
     {<AI95-00317-01AI95-00317-01>} formal_package_association ::=
         generic_association
       | <generic_formal_parameter_>selector_name => <>

3.2/2
     {<AI95-00317-01AI95-00317-01>} Any positional
     formal_package_associations shall precede any named
     formal_package_associations.

                           _Legality Rules_

4
The <generic_package_>name shall denote a generic package (the
<template> for the formal package); the formal package is an instance of
the template.

4.1/3
{<AI05-0025-1AI05-0025-1>} The <generic_formal_parameter_>selector_name
of a formal_package_association shall denote a
generic_formal_parameter_declaration of the template.  If two or more
formal subprograms of the template have the same defining name, then
named associations are not allowed for the corresponding actuals.

4.2/3
{<AI95-00398-01AI95-00398-01>} A formal_package_actual_part shall
contain at most one formal_package_association for each formal
parameter.  If the formal_package_actual_part does not include "others
=> <>", each formal parameter without an association shall have a
default_expression or subprogram_default.

4.3/3
{<AI05-0200-1AI05-0200-1>} The rules for matching between
formal_package_associations and the generic formals of the template are
as follows:

4.4/3
   * If all of the formal_package_associations are given by generic
     associations, the explicit_generic_actual_parameters of the
     formal_package_associations shall be legal for an instantiation of
     the template.

4.5/3
   * If a formal_package_association for a formal type <T> of the
     template is given by <>, then the formal_package_association for
     any other generic_formal_parameter_declaration of the template that
     mentions <T> directly or indirectly must be given by <> as well.

4.a/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0200-1AI05-0200-1>} The above rule is
          simple to state, though it does not reflect the fact that the
          formal package functions like an instantiation of a special
          kind, where each box association for a
          generic_formal_parameter_declaration <F> is replaced with a
          new entity <F>' that has the same characteristics as <F>: if
          <F> is a formal discrete type then <F>' is a discrete type, if
          <F> is a formal subprogram then <F>' is a subprogram with a
          similar signature, etc.  In practice this is achieved by
          making the association into a copy of the declaration of the
          generic formal.

5/2
{<AI95-00317-01AI95-00317-01>} The actual shall be an instance of the
template.  If the formal_package_actual_part is (<>) or (others => <>),
[then the actual may be any instance of the template]; otherwise,
certain of the actual parameters of the actual instance shall match the
corresponding actual parameters of the formal package, determined as
follows:

5.1/2
   * {<AI95-00317-01AI95-00317-01>} If the formal_package_actual_part
     (*note 12.7: S0302.) includes generic_associations as well as
     associations with <>, then only the actual parameters specified
     explicitly with generic_associations are required to match;

5.2/2
   * {<AI95-00317-01AI95-00317-01>} Otherwise, all actual parameters
     shall match[, whether any actual parameter is given explicitly or
     by default].

5.3/2
{<AI95-00317-01AI95-00317-01>} The rules for matching of actual
parameters between the actual instance and the formal package are as
follows:

6/2
   * {<AI95-00317-01AI95-00317-01>} For a formal object of mode in, the
     actuals match if they are static expressions with the same value,
     or if they statically denote the same constant, or if they are both
     the literal null.

6.a
          Reason: We can't simply require full conformance between the
          two actual parameter expressions, because the two expressions
          are being evaluated at different times.

7
   * For a formal subtype, the actuals match if they denote statically
     matching subtypes.  

8
   * For other kinds of formals, the actuals match if they statically
     denote the same entity.

8.1/1
{<8652/00398652/0039>} {<AI95-00213-01AI95-00213-01>} For the purposes
of matching, any actual parameter that is the name of a formal object of
mode in is replaced by the formal object's actual expression
(recursively).

                          _Static Semantics_

9
A formal_package_declaration declares a generic formal package.

10/2
{<AI95-00317-01AI95-00317-01>} The visible part of a formal package
includes the first list of basic_declarative_items of the
package_specification (*note 7.1: S0191.).  In addition, for each actual
parameter that is not required to match, a copy of the declaration of
the corresponding formal parameter of the template is included in the
visible part of the formal package.  If the copied declaration is for a
formal type, copies of the implicit declarations of the primitive
subprograms of the formal type are also included in the visible part of
the formal package.

10.a/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00317-01AI95-00317-01>} If the
          formal_package_actual_part is (<>), then the declarations that
          occur immediately within the generic_formal_part of the
          template for the formal package are visible outside the formal
          package, and can be denoted by expanded names outside the
          formal package.If only some of the actual parameters are given
          by <>, then the declaration corresponding to those parameters
          (but not the others) are made visible.

10.b/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} We always want either the
          actuals or the formals of an instance to be nameable from
          outside, but never both.  If both were nameable, one would get
          some funny anomalies since they denote the same entity, but,
          in the case of types at least, they might have different and
          inconsistent sets of primitive operators due to predefined
          operator "reemergence."  Formal derived types exacerbate the
          difference.  We want the implicit declarations of the
          generic_formal_part as well as the explicit declarations, so
          we get operations on the formal types.

10.c
          Ramification: A generic formal package is a package, and is an
          instance.  Hence, it is possible to pass a generic formal
          package as an actual to another generic formal package.

11/2
{<AI95-00317-01AI95-00317-01>} For the purposes of matching, if the
actual instance <A> is itself a formal package, then the actual
parameters of <A> are those specified explicitly or implicitly in the
formal_package_actual_part for <A>, plus, for those not specified, the
copies of the formal parameters of the template included in the visible
part of <A>.

          Correction: Added missing rules for parameters of generic
          formal package that parallel those in *note 12.3::, as well as
          some specific to <> parameters.  These are technically
          incompatibilities because generic formal package parameters
          that Ada 95 and Ada 2005 would have considered legal now have
          to be rejected.  But this should not be an issue in practice
          as such formal parameters could not have matched any actual
          generics.  And it is quite likely that implementations already
          enforce some of these rules.

12.8 Example of a Generic Package
=================================

1
The following example provides a possible formulation of stacks by means
of a generic package.  The size of each stack and the type of the stack
elements are provided as generic formal parameters.

                              _Examples_

2/1
<This paragraph was deleted.>

3
     generic
        Size : Positive;
        type Item is private;
     package Stack is
        procedure Push(E : in  Item);
        procedure Pop (E : out Item);
        Overflow, Underflow : exception;
     end Stack;

4
     package body Stack is

5
        type Table is array (Positive range <>) of Item;
        Space : Table(1 .. Size);
        Index : Natural := 0;

6
        procedure Push(E : in Item) is
        begin
           if Index >= Size then
              raise Overflow;
           end if;
           Index := Index + 1;
           Space(Index) := E;
        end Push;

7
        procedure Pop(E : out Item) is
        begin
           if Index = 0 then
              raise Underflow;
           end if;
           E := Space(Index);
           Index := Index - 1;
        end Pop;

8
     end Stack;

9
Instances of this generic package can be obtained as follows:

10
     package Stack_Int  is new Stack(Size => 200, Item => Integer);
     package Stack_Bool is new Stack(100, Boolean);

11
Thereafter, the procedures of the instantiated packages can be called as
follows:

12
     Stack_Int.Push(N);
     Stack_Bool.Push(True);

13
Alternatively, a generic formulation of the type Stack can be given as
follows (package body omitted):

14
     generic
        type Item is private;
     package On_Stacks is
        type Stack(Size : Positive) is limited private;
        procedure Push(S : in out Stack; E : in  Item);
        procedure Pop (S : in out Stack; E : out Item);
        Overflow, Underflow : exception;
     private
        type Table is array (Positive range <>) of Item;
        type Stack(Size : Positive) is
           record
              Space : Table(1 .. Size);
              Index : Natural := 0;
           end record;
     end On_Stacks;

15
In order to use such a package, an instance has to be created and
thereafter stacks of the corresponding type can be declared:

16
     declare
        package Stack_Real is new On_Stacks(Real); use Stack_Real;
        S : Stack(100);
     begin
        ...
        Push(S, 2.54);
        ...
     end;

                     _Language Design Principles_

1.a/3
          {<8652/00098652/0009>} {<AI95-00137-01AI95-00137-01>}
          {<AI05-0295-1AI05-0295-1>} Representation aspects are intended
          to refer to properties that need to be known before the
          compiler can generate code to create or access an entity.  For
          instance, the size of an object needs to be known before the
          object can be created.  Conversely, operational aspects are
          those that only need to be known before they can be used.  For
          instance, how an object is read from a stream only needs to be
          known when a stream read is executed.  Thus, representation
          aspects have stricter rules as to when they can be specified.

1.a.1/3
          {<AI95-00291-02AI95-00291-02>} {<AI05-0295-1AI05-0295-1>}
          Confirming the value of an aspect should never change the
          semantics of the aspect.  Thus Size = 8 (for example) means
          the same thing whether it was specified with a representation
          item or whether the compiler chose this value by default.

1.a.2/3
          Glossary entry: An aspect is a specifiable property of an
          entity.  An aspect may be specified by an aspect_specification
          on the declaration of the entity.  Some aspects may be queried
          via attributes.

                               _Syntax_

2/1
     {<8652/00098652/0009>} {<AI95-00137-01AI95-00137-01>} aspect_clause
     ::= attribute_definition_clause
           | enumeration_representation_clause
           | record_representation_clause
           | at_clause

3
     local_name ::= direct_name
           | direct_name'attribute_designator
           | <library_unit_>name

4/1
     {<8652/00098652/0009>} {<AI95-00137-01AI95-00137-01>} A
     representation pragma is allowed only at places where an
     aspect_clause or compilation_unit is allowed.  

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

5/1
{<8652/00098652/0009>} {<AI95-00137-01AI95-00137-01>} In an operational
item or representation item, if the local_name is a direct_name, then it
shall resolve to denote a declaration (or, in the case of a pragma, one
or more declarations) that occurs immediately within the same
declarative region as the item.  If the local_name has an
attribute_designator, then it shall resolve to denote an
implementation-defined component (see *note 13.5.1::) or a class-wide
type implicitly declared immediately within the same declarative region
as the item.  A local_name that is a <library_unit_>name (only permitted
in a representation pragma) shall resolve to denote the library_item
that immediately precedes (except for other pragmas) the representation
pragma.

5.a/1
          Reason: {<8652/00098652/0009>} {<AI95-00137-01AI95-00137-01>}
          This is a Name Resolution Rule, because we don't want an
          operational or representation item for X to be ambiguous just
          because there's another X declared in an outer declarative
          region.  It doesn't make much difference, since most
          operational or representation items are for types or subtypes,
          and type and subtype names can't be overloaded.

5.b/1
          Ramification: {<8652/00098652/0009>}
          {<AI95-00137-01AI95-00137-01>} The visibility rules imply that
          the declaration has to occur before the operational or
          representation item.

5.c/1
          {<8652/00098652/0009>} {<AI95-00137-01AI95-00137-01>} For
          objects, this implies that operational or representation items
          can be applied only to stand-alone objects.

                           _Legality Rules_

6/1
{<8652/00098652/0009>} {<AI95-00137-01AI95-00137-01>} The local_name of
an aspect_clause or representation pragma shall statically denote an
entity (or, in the case of a pragma, one or more entities) declared
immediately preceding it in a compilation, or within the same
declarative_part (*note 3.11: S0086.), package_specification (*note 7.1:
S0191.), task_definition (*note 9.1: S0207.), protected_definition
(*note 9.4: S0212.), or record_definition (*note 3.8: S0067.) as the
representation or operational item.  If a local_name denotes a [local]
callable entity, it may do so through a [local]
subprogram_renaming_declaration (*note 8.5.4: S0203.) [(as a way to
resolve ambiguity in the presence of overloading)]; otherwise, the
local_name shall not denote a renaming_declaration (*note 8.5: S0199.).

6.a
          Ramification: The "statically denote" part implies that it is
          impossible to specify the representation of an object that is
          not a stand-alone object, except in the case of a
          representation item like pragma Atomic that is allowed inside
          a component_list (in which case the representation item
          specifies the representation of components of all objects of
          the type).  It also prevents the problem of renamings of
          things like "P.all" (where P is an access-to-subprogram value)
          or "E(I)" (where E is an entry family).

6.b
          The part about where the denoted entity has to have been
          declared appears twice -- once as a Name Resolution Rule, and
          once as a Legality Rule.  Suppose P renames Q, and we have a
          representation item in a declarative_part whose local_name is
          P. The fact that the representation item has to appear in the
          same declarative_part as P is a Name Resolution Rule, whereas
          the fact that the representation item has to appear in the
          same declarative_part as Q is a Legality Rule.  This is
          subtle, but it seems like the least confusing set of rules.

6.c
          Discussion: A separate Legality Rule applies for
          component_clauses.  See *note 13.5.1::, "*note 13.5.1:: Record
          Representation Clauses".

7/2
{<AI95-00291-02AI95-00291-02>} The <representation> of an object
consists of a certain number of bits (the <size> of the object).  For an
object of an elementary type, these are the bits that are normally read
or updated by the machine code when loading, storing, or operating-on
the value of the object.  For an object of a composite type, these are
the bits reserved for this object, and include bits occupied by
subcomponents of the object.  If the size of an object is greater than
that of its subtype, the additional bits are padding bits.  For an
elementary object, these padding bits are normally read and updated
along with the others.  For a composite object, padding bits might not
be read or updated in any given composite operation, depending on the
implementation.

7.a/2
          To be honest: {<AI95-00291-02AI95-00291-02>} Discontiguous
          representations are allowed, but the ones we're interested in
          here are generally contiguous sequences of bits.  For a
          discontiguous representation, the size doesn't necessarily
          describe the "footprint" of the object in memory (that is, the
          amount of space taken in the address space for the object).

7.a.1/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00291-02AI95-00291-02>} In the case of
          composite objects, we want the implementation to have the
          flexibility to either do operations component-by-component, or
          with a block operation covering all of the bits.  We carefully
          avoid giving a preference in the wording.  There is no
          requirement for the choice to be documented, either, as the
          implementation can make that choice based on many factors, and
          could make a different choice for different operations on the
          same object.

7.a.2/2
          {<AI95-00291-02AI95-00291-02>} In the case of a properly
          aligned, contiguous object whose size is a multiple of the
          storage unit size, no other bits should be read or updated as
          part of operating on the object.  We don't say this
          normatively because it would be difficult to normatively
          define "properly aligned" or "contiguous".

7.b
          Ramification: Two objects with the same value do not
          necessarily have the same representation.  For example, an
          implementation might represent False as zero and True as any
          odd value.  Similarly, two objects (of the same type) with the
          same sequence of bits do not necessarily have the same value.
          For example, an implementation might use a biased
          representation in some cases but not others:

7.c/3
               {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} subtype S is Integer range 1..256;
               type A is array(Natural range 1..4) of S
                  with Pack;
               X : S := 3;
               Y : A := (1, 2, 3, 4);

7.d
          The implementation might use a biased-by-1 representation for
          the array elements, but not for X. X and Y(3) have the same
          value, but different representation: the representation of X
          is a sequence of (say) 32 bits: 0...011, whereas the
          representation of Y(3) is a sequence of 8 bits: 00000010
          (assuming a two's complement representation).

7.e
          Such tricks are not required, but are allowed.

7.f
          Discussion: The value of any padding bits is not specified by
          the language, though for a numeric type, it will be much
          harder to properly implement the predefined operations if the
          padding bits are not either all zero, or a sign extension.

7.g/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} For example, suppose
          S'Size = 2, and an object X is of subtype S. If the machine
          code typically uses a 32-bit load instruction to load the
          value of X, then X'Size should be 32, even though 30 bits of
          the value are just zeros or sign-extension bits.  On the other
          hand, if the machine code typically masks out those 30 bits,
          then X'Size should be 2.  Usually, such masking only happens
          for components of a composite type for which Pack,
          Component_Size, or record layout is specified.

7.h
          Note, however, that the formal parameter of an instance of
          Unchecked_Conversion is a special case.  Its Size is required
          to be the same as that of its subtype.

7.i
          Note that we don't generally talk about the representation of
          a value.  A value is considered to be an amorphous blob
          without any particular representation.  An object is
          considered to be more concrete.

8/3
{<AI05-0112-1AI05-0112-1>} {<AI05-0295-1AI05-0295-1>} A representation
item <directly specifies> a <representation aspect> of the entity
denoted by the local_name, except in the case of a type-related
representation item, whose local_name shall denote a first subtype, and
which directly specifies an aspect of the subtype's type.  A
representation item that names a subtype is either <subtype-specific>
(Size and Alignment clauses) or <type-related> (all others).
[Subtype-specific aspects may differ for different subtypes of the same
type.]

8.a
          To be honest: <Type-related> and <subtype-specific> are
          defined likewise for the corresponding aspects of
          representation.

8.b
          To be honest: Some representation items directly specify more
          than one aspect.

8.c/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} For example, a pragma
          Export (see *note J.15.5::) specifies the convention of an
          entity, and also specifies that it is exported.  Such items
          are obsolescent; directly specifying the associated aspects is
          preferred.

8.d
          Ramification: Each specifiable attribute constitutes a
          separate aspect.  An enumeration_representation_clause
          specifies the coding aspect.  A record_representation_clause
          (without the mod_clause) specifies the record layout aspect.
          Each representation pragma specifies a separate aspect.

8.e
          Reason: We don't need to say that an at_clause or a mod_clause
          specify separate aspects, because these are equivalent to
          attribute_definition_clauses.  See *note J.7::, "*note J.7::
          At Clauses", and *note J.8::, "*note J.8:: Mod Clauses".

8.e.1/3
          {<AI05-0112-1AI05-0112-1>} We give a default naming for
          representation aspects of representation pragmas so we don't
          have to do that for every pragma.  Operational and
          representation attributes are given a default naming in *note
          13.3::.  We don't want any anonymous aspects; that would make
          other rules more difficult to write and understand.

item that directly specifies an aspect of an entity shall appear before
the entity is frozen (see *note 13.14::).

9.c/1
          Ramification: Unlike representation items, operational items
          can be specified on partial views.  Since they don't affect
          the representation, the full declaration need not be known to
          determine their legality.

9.2/4
{<AI12-0116-1AI12-0116-1>} If a representation item, operational item,
or aspect_specification is given that directly specifies an aspect of an
entity, then it is illegal to give another representation item,
operational item, or aspect_specification that directly specifies the
same aspect of the entity.

9.c.1/4
          Ramification: {<AI12-0116-1AI12-0116-1>} This rule applies to
          all aspects, not just those that are operational aspects or
          representation aspects.  For instance, it applies to subtype
          predicates and type invariants.

9.c.2/4
          To be honest: {<AI12-0116-1AI12-0116-1>} This rule is also
          intended to cover other ways to specify representation
          aspects, such as obsolescent pragma Priority.  Priority is not
          a representation pragma, and as such is neither a
          representation item nor an aspect_specification.  Regardless,
          giving both a pragma Priority and an aspect_specification for
          Priority is illegal.  We didn't want to complicate the wording
          solely to support obsolescent features.

{<AI12-0116-1AI12-0116-1>} Unless otherwise specified, it is illegal to
specify an operational or representation aspect of a generic formal
parameter.

9.d/3
          Reason: Specifying an aspect on a generic formal parameter
          implies an added contract for a generic unit.  That contract
          needs to be defined via generic parameter matching rules, and,
          as aspects vary widely, that has to be done for each such
          aspect.  Since most aspects do not need this complexity
          (including all language-defined aspects as of this writing),
          we avoid the complexity by saying that such contract-forming
          aspect specifications are banned unless the rules defining
          them explicitly exist.  Note that the method of specification
          does not matter: aspect_specifications, representation items,
          and operational items are all covered by this (and similar)
          rules.

10/4
{<AI05-0295-1AI05-0295-1>} {<AI12-0109-1AI12-0109-1>} For an untagged
derived type, it is illegal to specify a type-related representation
aspect if the parent type is a by-reference type, or has any
user-defined primitive subprograms.  Similarly, it is illegal to specify
a nonconfirming type-related representation aspect for an untagged
by-reference type after one or more types have been derived from it.

          the other hand, subtype-specific representation aspects may be
          specified for the first subtype of such a type, as can
          operational aspects.

          {<AI12-0109-1AI12-0109-1>} The reason for forbidding
          specification of type-related representation aspects on
          untagged by-reference types is because a change of
          representation is impossible when passing by reference (to an
          inherited subprogram).  (A by-reference object cannot be
          copied to change its representation.)  The reason for
          forbidding specification of type-related representation
          aspects on untagged types with user-defined primitive
          subprograms was to prevent implicit change of representation
          for type-related aspects of representation upon calling
          inherited subprograms, because such changes of representation
          are likely to be expensive at run time.  Changes of
          subtype-specific representation attributes, however, are
          likely to be cheap.  This rule is not needed for tagged types,
          because other rules prevent a type-related representation
          aspect from changing the representation of the parent part; we
          want to allow specifying a type-related representation aspect
          on a type extension to specify aspects of the extension part.
          For example, specifying aspect Pack will cause packing of the
          extension part, but not of the parent part.

10.c/4
          Discussion: {<AI12-0109-1AI12-0109-1>} "By-reference type"
          usually cannot be used in Legality Rules, as it is privacy
          breaking.  Our use here is privacy breaking, but we're stuck
          with it for compatibility reasons.  Since representation
          aspects cannot be specified on partial views, privacy
          violations only can happen when a type includes a component of
          a private type.  In that case, whether these rules are
          triggered depends on the full type of the private type --
          which is clearly privacy breaking.

          Specifying representation aspects is allowed for types whose
          subcomponent types or index subtypes are generic formal types.
          Specifying operational aspects and subtype-related
          representation aspects is allowed on descendants of generic
          formal types.

11.b/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0295-1AI05-0295-1>} Since it is not known
          whether a formal type has user-defined primitive subprograms,
          specifying type-related representation aspects for them is not
          allowed, unless they are tagged (in which case only the
          extension part is affected in any case).

11.c/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00326-01AI95-00326-01>} All views of a
          type, including the incomplete and partial views, have the
          same operational and representation aspects.  That's important
          so that the properties don't change when changing views.
          While most aspects are not available for an incomplete view,
          we don't want to leave any holes by not saying that they are
          the same.

11.d/3
          {<AI05-0083-1AI05-0083-1>} However, this does not apply to
          objects.  Different views of an object can have different
          representation aspects.  For instance, an actual object passed
          by reference and the associated formal parameter may have
          different values for Alignment even though the formal
          parameter is merely a view of the actual object.  This is
          necessary to maintain the language design principle that
          Alignments are always known at compile time.

13.1/3
{<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} {<AI05-0295-1AI05-0295-1>} A
type_declaration is illegal if it has one or more progenitors, and a
nonconfirming value was specified for a representation aspect of an
ancestor, and this conflicts with the representation of some other
ancestor.  The cases that cause conflicts are implementation defined.

13.a/2
          Implementation defined: The cases that cause conflicts between
          the representation of the ancestors of a type_declaration.

13.b/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0295-1AI05-0295-1>} This rule is needed because
          it may be the case that only the combination of types in a
          type declaration causes a conflict.  Thus it is not possible,
          in general, to reject the original representation item or
          aspect_specification.  For instance:

13.c/2
               package Pkg1 is
                  type Ifc is interface;
                  type T is tagged record
                     Fld : Integer;
                  end record;
                  for T use record
                     Fld at 0 range 0 .. Integer'Size - 1;
                  end record;
               end Pkg1;

13.d/2
          Assume the implementation uses a single tag with a default
          offset of zero, and that it allows the use of nondefault
          locations for the tag (and thus accepts representation items
          like the one above).  The representation item will force a
          nondefault location for the tag (by putting a component other
          than the tag into the default location).  Clearly, this
          package will be accepted by the implementation.  However,
          other declarations could cause trouble.  For instance, the
          implementation could reject:

13.e/2
               with Pkg1;
               package Pkg2 is
                  type NewT is new Pkg1.T and Pkg1.Ifc with null record;
               end Pkg2;

13.f/3
          {<AI05-0295-1AI05-0295-1>} because the declarations of T and
          Ifc have a conflict in their representation items.  This is
          clearly necessary (it's hard to imagine how Ifc'Class could
          work with the tag at a location other than the one it is
          expecting without introducing distributed overhead).

13.g/3
          {<AI05-0295-1AI05-0295-1>} Conflicts will usually involve
          implementation-defined attributes (for specifying the location
          of the tag, for instance), although the example above shows
          that doesn't have to be the case.  For this reason, we didn't
          try to specify exactly what causes a conflict; it will depend
          on the implementation's implementation model and what
          representation aspects it allows to be changed.

13.h/3
          Implementation Note: {<AI05-0295-1AI05-0295-1>} An
          implementation can only use this rule to reject
          type_declarations where one of its ancestors had a
          nonconfirming representation value specified.  An
          implementation must ensure that the default representations of
          ancestors cannot conflict.

                          _Static Semantics_

14
If two subtypes statically match, then their subtype-specific aspects
(Size and Alignment) are the same.  

14.a/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0295-1AI05-0295-1>} This is necessary because
          we allow (for example) conversion between access types whose
          designated subtypes statically match.  Note that most aspects
          (including the subtype-specific aspects Size and Alignment)
          may not be specified for a nonfirst subtype.  The only
          language-defined exceptions to this rule are the
          Static_Predicate and Dynamic_Predicate aspects.

14.b
          Consider, for example:

14.c/1
               package P1 is
                  subtype S1 is Integer range 0..2**16-1;

                     --< S1'Size would be 16 by default.>
                  type A1 is access all S1;

                  type A2 is access all S2;
                  X2: A2;
               end P2;

14.e/3
               {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} procedure Q is
                  use P1, P2;
                  type Array1 is array(Integer range <>) of aliased S1
                     with Pack;
                  Obj1: Array1(1..100);
                  type Array2 is array(Integer range <>) of aliased S2
                     with Pack;
                  Obj2: Array2(1..100);
               begin
                  X1 := Obj2(17)'Unchecked_Access;
                  X2 := Obj1(17)'Unchecked_Access;
               end Q;

14.f
          Loads and stores through X1 would read and write 16 bits, but
          X1 points to a 32-bit location.  Depending on the endianness
          of the machine, loads might load the wrong 16 bits.  Stores
          would fail to zero the other half in any case.

14.g
          Loads and stores through X2 would read and write 32 bits, but
          X2 points to a 16-bit location.  Thus, adjacent memory
          locations would be trashed.

14.h
          Hence, the above is illegal.  Furthermore, the compiler is
          forbidden from choosing different Sizes by default, for the
          same reason.

14.i
          The same issues apply to Alignment.

{<AI05-0009-1AI05-0009-1>} {<AI05-0295-1AI05-0295-1>} A derived type
inherits each type-related representation aspect of its parent type that
was directly specified before the declaration of the derived type, or
(in the case where the parent is derived) that was inherited by the
parent type from the grandparent type.  A derived subtype inherits each
subtype-specific representation aspect of its parent subtype that was
directly specified before the declaration of the derived type, or (in
the case where the parent is derived) that was inherited by the parent
subtype from the grandparent subtype, but only if the parent subtype
statically matches the first subtype of the parent type.  An inherited
representation aspect is overridden by a subsequent aspect_specification
or representation item that specifies a different value for the same
aspect of the type or subtype.

15.a
          To be honest: A record_representation_clause for a record
          extension does not override the layout of the parent part; if
          the layout was specified for the parent type, it is inherited
          by the record extension.

15.b
          Ramification: If a representation item for the parent appears
          after the derived_type_definition (*note 3.4: S0035.), then

          inherited aspect is confirmed by an aspect_specification or a
          later representation item for a derived type, the confirming
          specification does not override the inherited one.  Thus the
          derived type has both a specified confirming value and an
          inherited nonconfirming representation value -- this means
          that rules that apply only to nonconfirming representation
          values still apply to this type.

15.b.2/4

          aspect_specification and the parent type has not yet been

          resolved and evaluated.  The implementation will need to have
          a mechanism to handle such an aspect.

{<AI05-0295-1AI05-0295-1>} In contrast, whether operational aspects are
inherited by a derived type depends on each specific aspect; unless
specified, an operational aspect is not inherited.  When operational
aspects are inherited by a derived type, aspects that were directly
specified by aspect_specifications or operational items that are visible
at the point of the derived type declaration, or (in the case where the
parent is derived) that were inherited by the parent type from the
grandparent type are inherited.  An inherited operational aspect is
overridden by a subsequent aspect_specification or operational item that
specifies the same aspect of the type.

15.b.3/1
          Ramification: As with representation items, if an operational
          item for the parent appears after the derived_type_definition
          (*note 3.4: S0035.), then inheritance does not happen for that
          operational item.

15.2/2
{<AI95-00444-01AI95-00444-01>} When an aspect that is a subprogram is
inherited, the derived type inherits the aspect in the same way that a
derived type inherits a user-defined primitive subprogram from its
parent (see *note 3.4::).

15.c/2
          Reason: This defines the parameter names and types, and the
          needed implicit conversions.

Each aspect of representation of an entity is as follows:

17
   * If the aspect is <specified> for the entity, meaning that it is
     either directly specified or inherited, then that aspect of the
     entity is as specified, except in the case of Storage_Size, which
     specifies a minimum.

17.a
          Ramification: This rule implies that queries of the aspect
          return the specified value.  For example, if the user writes
          "for X'Size use 32;", then a query of X'Size will return 32.

18
   * If an aspect of representation of an entity is not specified, it is

          that specifying a representation aspect can affect the
          semantics of the entity.

18.b
          The rules forbid things like "for S'Base'Alignment use ..."
          and "for S'Base use record ...".

18.c
          Discussion: The intent is that implementations will represent
          the components of a composite value in the same way for all
          subtypes of a given composite type.  Hence, Component_Size and
          record layout are type-related aspects.

18.d/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0083-1AI05-0083-1>} As noted previously,
          in the case of an object, the entity mentioned in this text is
          a specific view of an object.  That means that only references
          to the same view of an object that has a specified value for a
          representation aspect <R> necessarily have that value for the
          aspect <R>.  The value of the aspect <R> for a different view
          of that object is unspecified.  In particular, this means that
          the representation values for by-reference parameters is
          unspecified; they do not have to be the same as those of the
          underlying object.

{<AI95-00291-02AI95-00291-02>} {<AI05-0295-1AI05-0295-1>} An
aspect_specification or representation item that specifies a
representation aspect that would have been chosen in the absence of the
aspect_specification or representation item is said to be <confirming>.
The aspect value specified in this case is said to be a <confirming>
representation aspect value.  Other values of the aspect are said to be
<nonconfirming>, as are the aspect_specifications and representation
items that specified them.  

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

19/1
{<8652/00098652/0009>} {<AI95-00137-01AI95-00137-01>} For the
elaboration of an aspect_clause, any evaluable constructs within it are
evaluated.

19.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} Elaboration of
          representation pragmas is covered by the general rules for
          pragmas in *note 2.8::.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

20/3
{<AI05-0295-1AI05-0295-1>} An implementation may interpret
representation aspects in an implementation-defined manner.  An
implementation may place implementation-defined restrictions on the
specification of representation aspects.  A <recommended level of
support> is defined for the specification of representation aspects and
related features in each subclause.  These recommendations are changed
to requirements for implementations that support the Systems Programming
Annex (see *note C.2::, "*note C.2:: Required Representation Support").

20.a/3
          Implementation defined: The interpretation of each
          representation aspect.

20.b/3
          Implementation defined: Any restrictions placed upon the
          specification of representation aspects.

20.c
          Ramification: Implementation-defined restrictions may be
          enforced either at compile time or at run time.  There is no
          requirement that an implementation justify any such
          restrictions.  They can be based on avoiding implementation
          complexity, or on avoiding excessive inefficiency, for
          example.

20.c.1/1
          {<8652/00098652/0009>} {<AI95-00137-01AI95-00137-01>} There is
          no such permission for operational aspects.

                        _Implementation Advice_

21/3
{<AI05-0295-1AI05-0295-1>} The recommended level of support for the
specification of all representation aspects is qualified as follows:

21.1/3
   * {<AI95-00291-02AI95-00291-02>} {<AI05-0295-1AI05-0295-1>} A
     confirming specification for a representation aspect should be
     supported.

21.a/3
          To be honest: {<AI05-0295-1AI05-0295-1>} A confirming
          representation aspect value might not be possible for some
          entities.  For instance, consider an unconstrained array.  The
          size of such a type is implementation-defined, and might not
          actually be a representable value, or might not be static.

22/3
   * {<AI05-0295-1AI05-0295-1>} An implementation need not support the
     specification for a representation aspect that contains nonstatic
     expressions, unless each nonstatic expression is a name that
     statically denotes a constant declared before the entity.

22.a
          Reason: This is to avoid the following sort of thing:

22.b
               X : Integer := F(...);
               Y : Address := G(...);
               for X'Address use Y;

22.c
          In the above, we have to evaluate the initialization
          expression for X before we know where to put the result.  This
          seems like an unreasonable implementation burden.

22.d
          The above code should instead be written like this:

22.e
               Y : constant Address := G(...);
               X : Integer := F(...);
               for X'Address use Y;

22.f
          This allows the expression "Y" to be safely evaluated before X
          is created.

22.g
          The constant could be a formal parameter of mode in.

22.h
          An implementation can support other nonstatic expressions if
          it wants to.  Expressions of type Address are hardly ever
          static, but their value might be known at compile time anyway
          in many cases.

23
   * An implementation need not support a specification for the Size for
     a given composite subtype, nor the size or storage place for an
     object (including a component) of a given composite subtype, unless
     the constraints on the subtype and its composite subcomponents (if
     any) are all static constraints.

24/3
   * {<AI95-00291-02AI95-00291-02>} {<AI05-0295-1AI05-0295-1>} An
     implementation need not support specifying a nonconfirming
     representation aspect value if it could cause an aliased object or
     an object of a by-reference type to be allocated at a
     nonaddressable location or, when the alignment attribute of the
     subtype of such an object is nonzero, at an address that is not an
     integral multiple of that alignment.

24.a/1
          Reason: The intent is that access types, type System.Address,
          and the pointer used for a by-reference parameter should be
          implementable as a single machine address -- bit-field
          pointers should not be required.  (There is no requirement
          that this implementation be used -- we just want to make sure
          it's feasible.)

24.b/2
          Implementation Note: {<AI95-00291-02AI95-00291-02>} We want
          subprograms to be able to assume the properties of the types
          of their parameters inside of subprograms.  While many objects
          can be copied to allow this (and thus do not need
          limitations), aliased or by-reference objects cannot be copied
          (their memory location is part of their identity).  Thus, the
          above rule does not apply to types that merely allow
          by-reference parameter passing; for such types, a copy
          typically needs to be made at the call site when a bit-aligned
          component is passed as a parameter.

25/3
   * {<AI95-00291-02AI95-00291-02>} {<AI05-0295-1AI05-0295-1>} An
     implementation need not support specifying a nonconfirming
     representation aspect value if it could cause an aliased object of
     an elementary type to have a size other than that which would have
     been chosen by default.

25.a/2
          Reason: Since all bits of elementary objects participate in
          operations, aliased objects must not have a different size
          than that assumed by users of the access type.

26/3
   * {<AI95-00291-02AI95-00291-02>} {<AI05-0295-1AI05-0295-1>} An
     implementation need not support specifying a nonconfirming
     representation aspect value if it could cause an aliased object of
     a composite type, or an object whose type is by-reference, to have
     a size smaller than that which would have been chosen by default.

26.a/2
          Reason: Unlike elementary objects, there is no requirement
          that all bits of a composite object participate in operations.
          Thus, as long as the object is the same or larger in size than
          that expected by the access type, all is well.

26.b/2
          Ramification: This rule presumes that the implementation
          allocates an object of a size specified to be larger than the
          default size in such a way that access of the default size
          suffices to correctly read and write the value of the object.

27/3
   * {<AI95-00291-02AI95-00291-02>} {<AI05-0295-1AI05-0295-1>} An
     implementation need not support specifying a nonconfirming
     subtype-specific representation aspect value for an indefinite or
     abstract subtype.

27.a/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0295-1AI05-0295-1>} Representation aspects are
          often not well-defined for such types.

27.b/3
          Ramification: {<AI95-00291-02AI95-00291-02>}
          {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} A type with the Pack aspect
          specified will typically not be packed so tightly as to
          disobey the above rules.  A Component_Size clause or
          record_representation_clause will typically be illegal if it
          disobeys the above rules.  Atomic components have similar
          restrictions (see *note C.6::, "*note C.6:: Shared Variable
          Control").

28/3
{<AI95-00291-02AI95-00291-02>} {<AI05-0295-1AI05-0295-1>} For purposes
of these rules, the determination of whether specifying a representation
aspect value for a type <could cause> an object to have some property is
based solely on the properties of the type itself, not on any available
information about how the type is used.  In particular, it presumes that
minimally aligned objects of this type might be declared at some point.

28.a/2
          Implementation Advice: The recommended level of support for
          all representation items should be followed.

     NOTES

29/3
     1  {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} Aspects that can be specified are
     defined throughout this International Standard, and are summarized
     in *note K.1::.

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 83_

29.a
          It is now illegal for a representation item to cause a derived
          by-reference type to have a different record layout from its
          parent.  This is necessary for by-reference parameter passing
          to be feasible.  This only affects programs that specify the
          representation of types derived from types containing tasks;
          most by-reference types are new to Ada 95.  For example, if A1
          is an array of tasks, and A2 is derived from A1, it is illegal
          to apply a pragma Pack to A2.

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

29.b/1
          {<8652/00098652/0009>} {<AI95-00137-01AI95-00137-01>} Ada 95
          allows additional aspect_clauses for objects.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

29.c/1
          {<8652/00098652/0009>} {<AI95-00137-01AI95-00137-01>} The
          syntax rule for type_representation_clause is removed; the
          right-hand side of that rule is moved up to where it was used,
          in aspect_clause.  There are two references to "type
          representation clause" in RM83, both in Section 13; these have
          been reworded.  Also, the representation_clause has been
          renamed the aspect_clause to reflect that it can be used to
          control more than just representation aspects.

29.d/2
          {<8652/00098652/0009>} {<AI95-00137-01AI95-00137-01>}
          {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} We have defined a new term
          "representation item," which includes all representation
          clauses and representation pragmas, as well as
          component_clauses.  This is convenient because the rules are
          almost identical for all of them.  We have also defined the
          new terms "operational item" and "operational aspects" in
          order to conveniently handle new types of specifiable
          entities.

29.e
          All of the forcing occurrence stuff has been moved into its
          own subclause (see *note 13.14::), and rewritten to use the
          term "freezing".

29.f
          RM83-13.1(10) requires implementation-defined restrictions on
          representation items to be enforced at compile time.  However,
          that is impossible in some cases.  If the user specifies a
          junk (nonstatic) address in an address clause, and the
          implementation chooses to detect the error (for example, using
          hardware memory management with protected pages), then it's
          clearly going to be a run-time error.  It seems silly to call
          that "semantics" rather than "a restriction."

29.g
          RM83-13.1(10) tries to pretend that representation_clauses
          don't affect the semantics of the program.  One
          counter-example is the Small clause.  Ada 95 has more
          counter-examples.  We have noted the opposite above.

29.h
          Some of the more stringent requirements are moved to *note
          C.2::, "*note C.2:: Required Representation Support".

                        _Extensions to Ada 95_

29.i/2
          {<AI95-00291-02AI95-00291-02>} Amendment Correction:
          Confirming representation items are defined, and the
          recommended level of support is now that they always be
          supported.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

29.j/2
          {<8652/00098652/0009>} {<AI95-00137-01AI95-00137-01>}
          Corrigendum: Added operational items in order to eliminate
          unnecessary restrictions and permissions on stream attributes.
          As part of this, representation_clause was renamed to
          aspect_clause.

29.k/2
          {<8652/00098652/0009>} {<AI95-00137-01AI95-00137-01>}
          {<AI95-00326-01AI95-00326-01>} Corrigendum: Added wording to
          say that the partial and full views have the same operational
          and representation aspects.  Ada 2005 extends this to cover
          all views, including the incomplete view.

29.l/2
          {<8652/00408652/0040>} {<AI95-00108-01AI95-00108-01>}
          Corrigendum: Changed operational items to have inheritance
          specified for each such aspect.

29.m/2
          {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} Added wording to allow the
          rejection of types with progenitors that have conflicting
          representation items.

29.n/2
          {<AI95-00291-02AI95-00291-02>} The description of the
          representation of an object was clarified (with great
          difficulty reaching agreement).  Added wording to say that
          representation items on aliased and by-reference objects never
          need be supported if they would not be implementable without
          distributed overhead even if other recommended level of
          support says otherwise.  This wording matches the rules with
          reality.

29.o/3
          {<AI95-00444-01AI95-00444-01>} {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>}
          Added wording so that inheritance depends on whether
          operational items are visible rather than whether they occur
          before the declaration (we don't want to look into private
          parts).  Also limited operational inheritance to untagged
          types to avoid anomalies with private extensions (this is not
          incompatible, no existing operational attribute used this
          capability).  Also added wording to clearly define that
          subprogram inheritance works like derivation of subprograms.

                   _Incompatibilities With Ada 2005_

29.p/3
          {<AI05-0106-1AI05-0106-1>} Correction: Specifying a
          language-defined aspect for a generic formal parameter is no
          longer allowed.  Most aspects could not be specified on these
          anyway; moreover, this was not allowed in Ada 83, so it is
          unlikely that compilers are supporting this as a capability
          (and it is not likely that they have a consistent definition
          of what it means if it is allowed).  Thus, we expect this to
          occur rarely in existing programs.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

29.q/3
          {<AI05-0009-1AI05-0009-1>} Correction: Defined that overriding
          of an representation aspect only happens for a nonconfirming
          representation item.  This prevents a derived type from being
          considered to have only a confirming representation item when
          the value would be nonconfirming if given on a type that does
          not inherit any aspects of representation.  This change just
          eliminates a wording confusion and ought not change any
          behavior.

29.r/3
          {<AI05-0112-1AI05-0112-1>} Correction: Defined a default
          naming for representation aspects that are representation
          pragmas.

29.s/3
          {<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>} Added text ensuring that the rules
          for representational and operational items also apply
          appropriately to aspect_specifications; generalized
          operational aspects so that they can be defined for entities
          other than types.  Any extensions are documented elsewhere.

29.t/3
          {<AI05-0295-1AI05-0295-1>} Rewrote many rules to be in terms
          of "specifying a representation aspect" rather than use of a
          "representation item".  This better separates <how> an aspect
          is specified from <what> rules apply to the value of the
          aspect.

                   _Incompatibilities With Ada 2012_

29.u/4
          {<AI12-0109-1AI12-0109-1>} Corrigendum: Added a rule that
          makes it illegal to specify a representation value after a
          type is derived from an untagged by-reference type.  This
          restriction is incompatible, but since the implementation
          would have had to copy an object that does not allow copying
          in order to change the representation for any implicit or
          explicit conversion between the original and the derived type,
          it is unlikely that any program could exist without running
          into internal compiler errors or bogus results.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2012_

29.v/4
          {<AI12-0116-1AI12-0116-1>} Corrigendum: Clarified that an
          aspect (any aspect) can be specified only once for an entity,
          no matter what means of specifying it are used.  We did not
          document this as an incompatibility as only aspects that are
          neither operational nor representation could change behavior
          and there is no known implementation of these new aspects that
          allows multiple definitions.

4.d/3
          {<AI05-0267-1AI05-0267-1>} Syntactically,
          aspect_specifications generally are located at the end of
          declarations.  When a declaration is all in one piece such as
          a null_procedure_declaration, object_declaration, or
          generic_instantiation the aspect_specification goes at the end
          of the declaration; it is then more visible and less likely to
          interfere with the layout of the rest of the structure.
          However, we make an exception for program units (other than
          subprogram specifications) and bodies, in which the
          aspect_specification goes before the is.  In these cases, the
          entity could be large and could contain other declarations
          that also have aspect_specifications, so it is better to put
          the aspect_specification toward the top of the declaration.
          (Some aspects - such as Pure - also affect the legality of the
          contents of a unit, so it would be annoying to only see those
          after reading the entire unit.)

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

5/3
{<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>} An aspect_mark identifies an aspect of the
entity defined by the associated declaration (the <associated entity>);
the aspect denotes an object, a value, an expression, a subprogram, or
some other kind of entity.  If the aspect_mark identifies:

6/3
   * an aspect that denotes an object, the aspect_definition shall be a
     name.  The expected type for the name is the type of the identified
     aspect of the associated entity;

7/3
   * an aspect that is a value or an expression, the aspect_definition
     shall be an expression.  The expected type for the expression is
     the type of the identified aspect of the associated entity;

8/3
   * an aspect that denotes a subprogram, the aspect_definition shall be
     a name; the expected profile for the name is the profile required
     for the aspect of the associated entity;

9/3
   * an aspect that denotes some other kind of entity, the
     aspect_definition shall be a name, and the name shall resolve to
     denote an entity of the appropriate kind;

10/3
   * an aspect that is given by an identifier specific to the aspect,
     the aspect_definition shall be an identifier, and the identifier
     shall be one of the identifiers specific to the identified aspect.

11/3
{<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>} The usage names in an aspect_definition [ are
not resolved at the point of the associated declaration, but rather] are
resolved at the end of the immediately enclosing declaration list.

12/3
{<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>} If the associated declaration is for a
subprogram or entry, the names of the formal parameters are directly
visible within the aspect_definition, as are certain attributes, as
specified elsewhere in this International Standard for the identified
aspect.  If the associated declaration is a type_declaration, within the
aspect_definition the names of any components are directly visible, and
the name of the first subtype denotes the current instance of the type
(see *note 8.6::).  If the associated declaration is a
subtype_declaration, within the aspect_definition the name of the new
subtype denotes the current instance of the subtype.

                           _Legality Rules_

13/3
{<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>} If the first freezing point of the associated
entity comes before the end of the immediately enclosing declaration
list, then each usage name in the aspect_definition shall resolve to the
same entity at the first freezing point as it does at the end of the
immediately enclosing declaration list.

14/3
{<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>} At most one occurrence of each aspect_mark is
allowed within a single aspect_specification.  The aspect identified by
the aspect_mark shall be an aspect that can be specified for the
associated entity (or view of the entity defined by the associated
declaration).

14.a/4
          Ramification: {<AI12-0116-1AI12-0116-1>} This rule prevents
          multiple specifications in the same aspect_specification.
          Rules in *note 13.1:: prevent multiple specifications in
          different aspect_specifications (on different views of the
          same type, for instance) or between operational or
          representation items and an aspect_specification, even for
          aspects that are neither operational nor representation
          aspects.

15/3
{<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>} The aspect_definition associated with a given
aspect_mark may be omitted only when the aspect_mark identifies an
aspect of a boolean type, in which case it is equivalent to the
aspect_definition being specified as True.

16/3
{<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>} If the aspect_mark includes 'Class, then the
associated entity shall be a tagged type or a primitive subprogram of a
tagged type.

17/3
{<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>} {<AI05-0267-1AI05-0267-1>} There are no
language-defined aspects that may be specified on a
renaming_declaration, a generic_formal_parameter_declaration, a subunit,
a package_body, a task_body, a protected_body, or a body_stub other than
a subprogram_body_stub.

17.a/3
          Discussion: Implementation-defined aspects can be allowed on
          these, of course; the implementation will need to define the
          semantics.  In particular, the implementation will need to
          define actual type matching rules for any aspects allowed on
          formal types; there are no default matching rules defined by
          the language.

18/4
{<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>} {<AI05-0267-1AI05-0267-1>}
{<AI12-0105-1AI12-0105-1>} A language-defined aspect shall not be
specified in an aspect_specification given on a completion of a
subprogram or generic subprogram.

18.a/3
          Reason: Most language-defined aspects (for example,
          preconditions) are intended to be available to callers, and
          specifying them on a body that has a separate declaration
          hides them from callers.  Specific language-defined aspects
          may allow this, but they have to do so explicitly (by defining
          an alternative Legality Rule), and provide any needed rules
          about visibility.  Note that this rule does not apply to
          implementation-defined aspects, so implementers need to
          carefully define whether such aspects can be applied to bodies
          and stubs, and what happens if they are specified on both the
          declaration and body of a unit.

18.1/4
{<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>} {<AI12-0138-1AI12-0138-1>} If an aspect of a
derived type is inherited from an ancestor type and has the boolean
value True, the inherited value shall not be overridden to have the
value False for the derived type, unless otherwise specified in this
International Standard.

18.2/4
{<AI12-0138-1AI12-0138-1>} Certain type-related aspects are defined to
be <nonoverridable>; all such aspects are specified using an
aspect_definition that is a name.

18.3/4
{<AI12-0138-1AI12-0138-1>} If a nonoverridable aspect is directly
specified for a type <T>, then any explicit specification of that aspect
for any other descendant of <T> shall be <confirming>; that is, the
specified name shall <match> the inherited aspect, meaning that the
specified name shall denote the same declarations as would the inherited
name.

18.4/4
{<AI12-0138-1AI12-0138-1>} If a full type has a partial view, and a
given nonoverridable aspect is allowed for both the full view and the
partial view, then the given aspect for the partial view and the full
view shall be the same: the aspect shall be directly specified only on
the partial view; if the full type inherits the aspect, then a matching
definition shall be specified (directly or by inheritance) for the
partial view.

18.b
          Ramification: In order to enforce these rules without breaking
          privacy, we cannot allow a private type that could have a
          particular overridable aspect to have a hidden definition of
          that aspect.  There is no problem if the private type does not
          allow the aspect (as the aspect could not be specified on
          descendants in that case).

18.5/4
{<AI12-0138-1AI12-0138-1>} In addition to the places where Legality
Rules normally apply (see *note 12.3::), these rules about
nonoverridable aspects also apply in the private part of an instance of
a generic unit.

18.6/4
{<AI12-0138-1AI12-0138-1>} [The Default_Iterator, Iterator_Element,
Implicit_Dereference, Constant_Indexing, and Variable_Indexing aspects
are nonoverridable.]

18.c/4
          Discussion: We don't need an assume-the-worst rule for most
          nonoverridable aspects as they only work on tagged types and
          deriving from formal tagged types is not allowed in generic
          bodies.  In the case of Implicit_Dereference, a derivation in
          a generic body does not cause problems (the ancestor
          necessarily cannot have the aspect, else specifying the aspect
          would be illegal), as there could be no place with visibility
          on both aspects.

                          _Static Semantics_

19/3
{<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>} Depending on which aspect is identified by
the aspect_mark, an aspect_definition specifies:

20/3
   * a name that denotes a subprogram, object, or other kind of entity;

21/3
   * an expression, which is either evaluated to produce a single value,
     or which (as in a precondition) is to be evaluated at particular
     points during later execution; or

22/3
   * an identifier specific to the aspect.

23/3
{<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>} The identified aspect of the associated
entity, or in some cases, the view of the entity defined by the
declaration, is as specified by the aspect_definition (or by the default
of True when boolean).  Whether an aspect_specification <applies> to an
entity or only to the particular view of the entity defined by the
declaration is determined by the aspect_mark and the kind of entity.
The following aspects are view specific:

24/3
   * An aspect specified on an object_declaration;

25/3
   * An aspect specified on a subprogram_declaration;

26/3
   * An aspect specified on a renaming_declaration.

27/3
{<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>} All other aspect_specifications are
associated with the entity, and <apply> to all views of the entity,
unless otherwise specified in this International Standard.

28/4
{<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>} {<AI12-0106-1AI12-0106-1>} If the aspect_mark
includes 'Class (a <class-wide aspect>), then, unless specified
otherwise for a particular class-wide aspect:

29/3
   * if the associated entity is a tagged type, the specification
     <applies> to all descendants of the type;

30/3
   * if the associated entity is a primitive subprogram of a tagged type
     <T>, the specification <applies> to the corresponding primitive
     subprogram of all descendants of <T>.

31/3
{<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>} {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} All specifiable
operational and representation attributes may be specified with an
aspect_specification instead of an attribute_definition_clause (see
*note 13.3::).

31.a/3
          Ramification: The name of the aspect is the same as that of
          the attribute (see *note 13.3::), so the aspect_mark is the
          attribute_designator of the attribute.

32/4
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} {<AI12-0154-1AI12-0154-1>} Any aspect
specified by a representation pragma or library unit pragma that has a
local_name as its single argument may be specified by an
aspect_specification, with the entity being the local_name.  The
aspect_definition is expected to be of type Boolean.  The expression
shall be static.  Notwithstanding what this International Standard says
elsewhere, the expression of an aspect that can be specified by a
library unit pragma is resolved and evaluated at the point where it
occurs in the aspect_specification[, rather than the first freezing
point of the associated package].

32.a/3
          Ramification: The name of the aspect is the same as that of
          the pragma (see *note 13.1::), so the aspect_mark is the name
          of the pragma.

33/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} In addition, other operational and
representation aspects not associated with specifiable attributes or
representation pragmas may be specified, as specified elsewhere in this
International Standard.

34/4
<This paragraph was deleted.>{<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>}
{<AI12-0138-1AI12-0138-1>}

35/3
{<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>} If a Legality Rule or Static Semantics rule
only applies when a particular aspect has been specified, the aspect is
considered to have been specified only when the aspect_specification or
attribute_definition_clause is visible (see *note 8.3::) at the point of
the application of the rule.

35.a/3
          Reason: Some rules only apply when an aspect has been
          specified (for instance, an indexable type is one that has
          aspect Variable_Indexing specified).  In order to prevent
          privacy breaking, this can only be true when the specification
          of the aspect is visible.  In particular, if the
          Variable_Indexing aspect is specified on the full view of a
          private type, the private type is not considered an indexable
          type.

36/3
{<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>} Alternative legality and semantics rules may
apply for particular aspects, as specified elsewhere in this
International Standard.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

37/3
{<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>} At the freezing point of the associated
entity, the aspect_specification is elaborated.  The elaboration of the
aspect_specification includes the evaluation of the name or expression,
if any, unless the aspect itself is an expression.  If the corresponding
aspect represents an expression (as in a precondition), the elaboration
has no effect; the expression is evaluated later at points within the
execution as specified elsewhere in this International Standard for the
particular aspect.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

38/3
{<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>} Implementations may support
implementation-defined aspects.  The aspect_specification for an
implementation-defined aspect may use an implementation-defined syntax
for the aspect_definition, and may follow implementation-defined
legality and semantics rules.

38.a/3
          Discussion: The intent is to allow implementations to support
          aspects that are defined, for example, by a subtype_indication
          rather than an expression or a name.  We chose not to try to
          enumerate all possible aspect_definition syntaxes, but to give
          implementations maximum freedom.  Unrecognized aspects are
          illegal whether or not they use custom syntax, so this freedom
          does not reduce portability.

38.a.1/3
          Implementation defined: Implementation-defined aspects,
          inluding the syntax for specifying such aspects and the
          legality rules for such aspects.

          {<AI05-0267-1AI05-0267-1>} Aspect specifications are new.

                   _Incompatibilities With Ada 2012_

38.c/4
          {<AI12-0154-1AI12-0154-1>} Corrigendum: Added a clarification
          that aspects that correspond to library unit pragmas are
          resolved and evaluated immediately.  This is incompatible, as
          a reference to an entity defined after the aspect will now be
          illegal.  However, this would have require retroactive
          enforcement of such aspects, which is a new capability not
          available from the associated pragma, and moreover no known
          Ada 2012 implementation has ever allowed late evaluation of
          such aspects.  As such, there should be no practical
          incompatibility.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2012_

38.d/4
          {<AI125-0105-1AI125-0105-1>} Corrigendum: Clarified the
          wording so that the restriction against language-defined
          aspects on subprogram completions includes completions that
          are expressions functions and null procedures.

38.e/4
          {<AI125-0106-1AI125-0106-1>} Corrigendum: Defined class-wide
          aspect for use in rules in *note 13.13.2::.

38.f/4
          {<AI125-0138-1AI125-0138-1>} Corrigendum: Added a definition
          of nonoverridable aspects.  This is necessary to prevent
          generic contract problems with formal derived types.

13.2 Packed Types
=================

1/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} [The Pack aspect having the value True
specifies that storage minimization should be the main criterion when
selecting the representation of a composite type.]

<Paragraphs 2 through 4 were moved to *note Annex J::, "*note Annex J::
Obsolescent Features".>

                     _Language Design Principles_

1.a/4
          {<AI12-0001-1AI12-0001-1>} If the default representation
          already uses minimal storage for a particular type, aspect
          Pack might not cause any representation change.  It follows
          that aspect Pack should always be allowed, even when it has no
          effect on representation.

1.b/4
          As a consequence, the chosen representation for a packed type
          may change during program maintenance even if the type is
          unchanged (in particular, if other representation aspects
          change on a part of the type).  This is different than the
          behavior of most other representation aspects, whose
          properties remain guaranteed no matter what changes are made
          to other aspects.

1.c/4
          Therefore, aspect Pack should not be used to achieve a
          representation required by external criteria.  For instance,
          setting Component_Size to 1 should be preferred over using
          aspect Pack to ensure an array of bits.  If future maintenance
          would make the array components aliased, independent, or
          atomic, the program would become illegal if Component_Size is
          used (immediately identifying a problem) while the aspect Pack
          version would simply change representations (probably causing
          a hard-to-find bug).

                          _Static Semantics_

5/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} For a full type declaration of a composite
type, the following language-defined representation aspect may be
specified:

5.1/3
Pack
               The type of aspect Pack is Boolean.  When aspect Pack is
               True for a type, the type (or the extension part) is said
               to be <packed>.  For a type extension, the parent part is
               packed as for the parent type, and specifying Pack causes
               packing only of the extension part.  

5.a/3
          Aspect Description for Pack: Minimize storage when laying out
          records and arrays.

5.2/3
               If directly specified, the aspect_definition shall be a
               static expression.  If not specified (including by
               inheritance), the aspect is False.

5.b/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} The only high level
          semantic effect of specifying the Pack aspect is potential
          loss of independent addressability (see *note 9.10::, "*note
          9.10:: Shared Variables").]

                        _Implementation Advice_

6
If a type is packed, then the implementation should try to minimize
storage allocated to objects of the type, possibly at the expense of
speed of accessing components, subject to reasonable complexity in
addressing calculations.

6.a.1/2
          Implementation Advice: Storage allocated to objects of a
          packed type should be minimized.

6.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} Specifying the Pack
          aspect is for gaining space efficiency, possibly at the
          expense of time.  If more explicit control over representation
          is desired, then a record_representation_clause, a
          Component_Size clause, or a Size clause should be used instead
          of, or in addition to, the Pack aspect.

{<AI12-0001-1AI12-0001-1>}

7/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} The recommended level of support for the Pack
aspect is:

7.1/4
   * {<AI12-0001-1AI12-0001-1>} Any component of a packed type that is
     of a by-reference type, that is specified as independently
     addressable, or that contains an aliased part, shall be aligned
     according to the alignment of its subtype.

7.a/4
          Ramification: This also applies to atomic components.
          "Atomic" implies "specified as independently addressable", so
          we don't need to mention atomic here.

7.b/4
          Other components do not have to respect the alignment of the
          subtype when packed; in many cases, the Recommended Level of
          Support will require the alignment to be ignored.

8/4
   * {<AI12-0001-1AI12-0001-1>} For a packed record type, the components
     should be packed as tightly as possible subject to the above
     alignment requirements, the Sizes of the component subtypes, and
     any record_representation_clause that applies to the type; the
     implementation may, but need not, reorder components or cross
     aligned word boundaries to improve the packing.  A component whose
     Size is greater than the word size may be allocated an integral
     number of words.

8.a
          Ramification: The implementation can always allocate an
          integral number of words for a component that will not fit in
          a word.  The rule also allows small component sizes to be
          rounded up if such rounding does not waste space.  For
          example, if Storage_Unit = 8, then a component of size 8 is
          probably more efficient than a component of size 7 plus a
          1-bit gap (assuming the gap is needed anyway).

9/4
   * {<AI05-0009-1AI05-0009-1>} {<AI12-0001-1AI12-0001-1>} For a packed
     array type, if the Size of the component subtype is less than or
     equal to the word size, Component_Size should be less than or equal
     to the Size of the component subtype, rounded up to the nearest
     factor of the word size, unless this would violate the above
     alignment requirements.

          Added clarification that the Pack aspect can ignore alignment
          requirements on types that don't have by-reference or aliased
          parts.  This was always intended, but there was no wording to
          that effect.

          {<AI05-0009-1AI05-0009-1>} Correction: Fixed so that the
          presence or absence of a confirming Component_Size

          aspect.

9.f/4
          {<AI12-0001-1AI12-0001-1>} Corrigendum: Fixed so that the
          Recommended Level of Support does not require packing of
          components for which such packing would violate other
          representation items or aspects.  This is not incompatible, as
          either such Pack aspects were treated as illegal or the
          Recommended Level of Support was ignored as impractical,
          neither of which would change the behavior of any working
          programs.  (Other behavior cannot be justifed from the
          Standard.)

13.3 Operational and Representation Attributes
==============================================

1/1
{<8652/00098652/0009>} {<AI95-00137-01AI95-00137-01>} [ The values of
certain implementation-dependent characteristics can be obtained by
interrogating appropriate operational or representation attributes.
Some of these attributes are specifiable via an
attribute_definition_clause.]

                     _Language Design Principles_

1.a
          In general, the meaning of a given attribute should not depend
          on whether the attribute was specified via an
          attribute_definition_clause, or chosen by default by the
          implementation.

                               _Syntax_

2
     attribute_definition_clause ::=
           for local_name'attribute_designator use expression;
         | for local_name'attribute_designator use name;

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

3
For an attribute_definition_clause that specifies an attribute that
denotes a value, the form with an expression shall be used.  Otherwise,
the form with a name shall be used.

4
For an attribute_definition_clause that specifies an attribute that
denotes a value or an object, the expected type for the expression or
name is that of the attribute.  For an attribute_definition_clause that
specifies an attribute that denotes a subprogram, the expected profile
for the name is the profile required for the attribute.  For an
attribute_definition_clause that specifies an attribute that denotes
some other kind of entity, the name shall resolve to denote an entity of
the appropriate kind.

4.a
          Ramification: For example, the Size attribute is of type
          <universal_integer>.  Therefore, the expected type for Y in
          "for X'Size use Y;" is <universal_integer>, which means that Y
          can be of any integer type.

4.b
          Discussion: For attributes that denote subprograms, the
          required profile is indicated separately for the individual
          attributes.

4.c
          Ramification: For an attribute_definition_clause with a name,
          the name need not statically denote the entity it denotes.
          For example, the following kinds of things are allowed:

4.d
               for Some_Access_Type'Storage_Pool use Storage_Pool_Array(I);
               for Some_Type'Read use Subprogram_Pointer.all;

                           _Legality Rules_

5/3
{<8652/00098652/0009>} {<AI95-00137-01AI95-00137-01>}
{<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>} An attribute_designator is allowed in an
attribute_definition_clause only if this International Standard
explicitly allows it, or for an implementation-defined attribute if the
implementation allows it.  Each specifiable attribute constitutes an
operational aspect or aspect of representation; the name of the aspect
is that of the attribute.

5.a
          Discussion: For each specifiable attribute, we generally say
          something like, "The ...  attribute may be specified for ...
          via an attribute_definition_clause."

5.b
          The above wording allows for T'Class'Alignment, T'Class'Size,
          T'Class'Input, and T'Class'Output to be specifiable.

5.c
          A specifiable attribute is not necessarily specifiable for all
          entities for which it is defined.  For example, one is allowed
          to ask T'Component_Size for an array subtype T, but "for
          T'Component_Size use ..."  is only allowed if T is a first
          subtype, because Component_Size is a type-related aspect.

6
For an attribute_definition_clause that specifies an attribute that
denotes a subprogram, the profile shall be mode conformant with the one
required for the attribute, and the convention shall be Ada.  Additional
requirements are defined for particular attributes.  

6.a
          Ramification: This implies, for example, that if one writes:

6.b
               for T'Read use R;

6.c
          R has to be a procedure with two parameters with the
          appropriate subtypes and modes as shown in *note 13.13.2::.

                          _Static Semantics_

7/2
{<AI95-00270-01AI95-00270-01>} A <Size clause> is an
attribute_definition_clause whose attribute_designator is Size.  Similar
definitions apply to the other specifiable attributes.

7.a
          To be honest: An attribute_definition_clause is type-related
          or subtype-specific if the attribute_designator denotes a
          type-related or subtype-specific attribute, respectively.

8
A <storage element> is an addressable element of storage in the machine.
A <word> is the largest amount of storage that can be conveniently and
efficiently manipulated by the hardware, given the implementation's
run-time model.  A word consists of an integral number of storage
elements.

8.a
          Discussion: A storage element is not intended to be a single
          bit, unless the machine can efficiently address individual
          bits.

8.b
          Ramification: For example, on a machine with 8-bit storage
          elements, if there exist 32-bit integer registers, with a full
          set of arithmetic and logical instructions to manipulate those
          registers, a word ought to be 4 storage elements -- that is,
          32 bits.

8.c
          Discussion: The "given the implementation's run-time model"
          part is intended to imply that, for example, on an 80386
          running MS-DOS, the word might be 16 bits, even though the
          hardware can support 32 bits.

8.d
          A word is what ACID refers to as a "natural hardware
          boundary".

8.e
          Storage elements may, but need not be, independently
          addressable (see *note 9.10::, "*note 9.10:: Shared
          Variables").  Words are expected to be independently
          addressable.

8.1/3
{<AI95-00133-01AI95-00133-01>} {<AI05-0092-1AI05-0092-1>} A <machine
scalar> is an amount of storage that can be conveniently and efficiently
loaded, stored, or operated upon by the hardware.  Machine scalars
consist of an integral number of storage elements.  The set of machine
scalars is implementation defined, but includes at least the storage
element and the word.  Machine scalars are used to interpret
component_clauses when the nondefault bit ordering applies.

8.e.1/2
          Implementation defined: The set of machine scalars.

8.f/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0092-1AI05-0092-1>} A single storage
          element is a machine scalar in all Ada implementations.
          Similarly, a word is a machine scalar in all implementations
          (although it might be the same as a storage element).  An
          implementation may define other machine scalars that make
          sense on the target (a half-word, for instance).

9/3
{<8652/00098652/0009>} {<AI95-00137-01AI95-00137-01>}
{<AI05-0191-1AI05-0191-1>} The following representation attributes are
defined: Address, Alignment, Size, Storage_Size, Component_Size,
Has_Same_Storage, and Overlaps_Storage.

10/1
For a prefix X that denotes an object, program unit, or label:

11
X'Address
               Denotes the address of the first of the storage elements
               allocated to X. For a program unit or label, this value
               refers to the machine code associated with the
               corresponding body or statement.  The value of this
               attribute is of type System.Address.

11.a
          Ramification: Here, the "first of the storage elements" is
          intended to mean the one with the lowest address; the
          endianness of the machine doesn't matter.

11.1/3
               {<AI05-0095-1AI05-0095-1>} The prefix of X'Address shall
               not statically denote a subprogram that has convention
               Intrinsic.  X'Address raises Program_Error if X denotes a
               subprogram that has convention Intrinsic.

12
               Address may be specified for stand-alone objects and for
               program units via an attribute_definition_clause.

12.a
          Ramification: Address is not allowed for enumeration literals,
          predefined operators, derived task types, or derived protected
          types, since they are not program units.

12.b/3
          Address is not allowed for intrinsic subprograms, either.
          That can be checked statically unless the prefix is a generic
          formal subprogram and the attribute reference is in the body
          of a generic unit.  We define that case to raise
          Program_Error, in order that the compiler does not have to
          build a wrapper for intrinsic subprograms.

12.c
          The validity of a given address depends on the run-time model;
          thus, in order to use Address clauses correctly, one needs
          intimate knowledge of the run-time model.

12.d/3
          {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} If the Address of an object is
          specified, any explicit or implicit initialization takes place
          as usual, unless the Import aspect is also specified for the
          object (in which case any necessary initialization is
          presumably done in the foreign language).

12.e
          Any compilation unit containing an attribute_reference of a
          given type depends semantically on the declaration of the
          package in which the type is declared, even if not mentioned
          in an applicable with_clause -- see *note 10.1.1::.  In this
          case, it means that if a compilation unit contains X'Address,
          then it depends on the declaration of System.  Otherwise, the
          fact that the value of Address is of a type in System wouldn't
          make sense; it would violate the "legality determinable via
          semantic dependences" Language Design Principle.

12.f
          AI83-00305 -- If X is a task type, then within the body of X,
          X denotes the current task object; thus, X'Address denotes the
          object's address.

12.g
          Interrupt entries and their addresses are described in *note
          J.7.1::, "*note J.7.1:: Interrupt Entries".

12.h
          If X is not allocated on a storage element boundary, X'Address
          points at the first of the storage elements that contains any
          part of X. This is important for the definition of the
          Position attribute to be sensible.

12.i/3
          Aspect Description for Address: Machine address of an entity.

                         _Erroneous Execution_

13/3
{<AI05-0009-1AI05-0009-1>} If an Address is specified, it is the
programmer's responsibility to ensure that the address is valid and
appropriate for the entity and its use; otherwise, program execution is
erroneous.

13.a
          Discussion: "Appropriate for the entity and its use" covers
          cases such as misaligned addresses, read-only code addresses
          for variable data objects (and nonexecutable data addresses
          for code units), and addresses which would force objects that
          are supposed to be independently addressable to not be.  Such
          addresses may be "valid" as they designate locations that are
          accessible to the program, but the program execution is still
          erroneous (meaning that implementations do not have to worry
          about these cases).

                        _Implementation Advice_

14
For an array X, X'Address should point at the first component of the
array, and not at the array bounds.

14.a.1/2
          Implementation Advice: For an array X, X'Address should point
          at the first component of the array rather than the array
          bounds.

14.a
          Ramification: On the other hand, we have no advice to offer
          about discriminants and tag fields; whether or not the address
          points at them is not specified by the language.  If
          discriminants are stored separately, then the Position of a
          discriminant might be negative, or might raise an exception.

15
The recommended level of support for the Address attribute is:

16
   * X'Address should produce a useful result if X is an object that is
     aliased or of a by-reference type, or is an entity whose Address
     has been specified.

16.a
          Reason: Aliased objects are the ones for which the
          Unchecked_Access attribute is allowed; hence, these have to be
          allocated on an addressable boundary anyway.  Similar
          considerations apply to objects of a by-reference type.

16.b
          An implementation need not go to any trouble to make Address
          work in other cases.  For example, if an object X is not
          aliased and not of a by-reference type, and the implementation
          chooses to store it in a register, X'Address might return
          System.Null_Address (assuming registers are not addressable).
          For a subprogram whose calling convention is Intrinsic, or for
          a package, the implementation need not generate an out-of-line
          piece of code for it.

17
   * An implementation should support Address clauses for imported
     subprograms.

18/2
   * <This paragraph was deleted.>{<AI95-00291-02AI95-00291-02>}

18.a/2
          <This paragraph was deleted.>

19
   * If the Address of an object is specified, or it is imported or
     exported, then the implementation should not perform optimizations
     based on assumptions of no aliases.

19.a/2
          Implementation Advice: The recommended level of support for
          the Address attribute should be followed.

     NOTES

20
     2  The specification of a link name with the Link_Name aspect (see
     *note B.1::) for a subprogram or object is an alternative to
     explicit specification of its link-time address, allowing a
     link-time directive to place the subprogram or object within
     memory.

21
     3  The rules for the Size attribute imply, for an aliased object X,
     that if X'Size = Storage_Unit, then X'Address points at a storage
     element containing all of the bits of X, and only the bits of X.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

21.a
          The intended meaning of the various attributes, and their
          attribute_definition_clauses, is more explicit.

21.b
          The address_clause has been renamed to at_clause and moved to
          *note Annex J::, "*note Annex J:: Obsolescent Features".  One
          can use an Address clause ("for T'Address use ...;") instead.

21.c
          The attributes defined in RM83-13.7.3 are moved to *note Annex
          G::, *note A.5.3::, and *note A.5.4::.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

21.c.1/3
          {<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>} Defined that the names of aspects
          are the same as the name of the attribute; that gives a name
          to use in aspect_specifications (see *note 13.1.1::).

                     _Language Design Principles_

21.d
          By default, the Alignment of a subtype should reflect the
          "natural" alignment for objects of the subtype on the machine.
          The Alignment, whether specified or default, should be known
          at compile time, even though Addresses are generally not known
          at compile time.  (The generated code should never need to
          check at run time the number of zero bits at the end of an
          address to determine an alignment).

21.e
          There are two symmetric purposes of Alignment clauses,
          depending on whether or not the implementation has control
          over object allocation.  If the implementation allocates an
          object, the implementation should ensure that the Address and
          Alignment are consistent with each other.  If something
          outside the implementation allocates an object, the
          implementation should be allowed to assume that the Address
          and Alignment are consistent, but should not assume stricter
          alignments than that.

               X'Alignment is not zero, then X is aligned on a storage
               unit boundary and X'Address is an integral multiple of

               zero).

24.a
          Ramification: The Alignment is passed by an allocator to the
          Allocate operation; the implementation has to choose a value
          such that if the address returned by Allocate is aligned as
          requested, the generated code can correctly access the object.

24.b
          The above mention of "modulo" is referring to the "mod"
          operator declared in System.Storage_Elements; if X mod N = 0,
          then X is by definition aligned on an N-storage-element
          boundary.

Program execution is erroneous if an Address clause is given that
conflicts with the Alignment.

                        _Implementation Advice_

28.1/3
{<AI05-0116-1AI05-0116-1>} For any tagged specific subtype <S>,
<S>'Class'Alignment should equal <S>'Alignment.

28.a/3
          Reason: A tagged object should never be less aligned than the
          alignment of the type of its view, so for a class-wide type
          T'Class, the alignment should be no greater than that of any
          type covered by T'Class.  If the implementation only supports
          alignments that are required by the recommended level of
          support (and this is most likely), then the alignment of any
          covered type has to be the same or greater than that of T --
          which leaves the only reasonable value of T'Class'Alignment
          being T'Alignment.  Thus we recommend this, but don't require
          it so that in the unlikely case that the implementation does
          support smaller alignments for covered types, it can select a
          smaller value for T'Class'Alignment.

28.a.1/3
          Implementation Advice: For any tagged specific subtype <S>,
          <S>'Class'Alignment should equal <S>'Alignment.

29
The recommended level of support for the Alignment attribute for
subtypes is:

30/2
   * {<AI95-00051-02AI95-00051-02>} An implementation should support an
     Alignment clause for a discrete type, fixed point type, record
     type, or array type, specifying an Alignment value that is zero or
     a power of two, subject to the following:

31/2
   * {<AI95-00051-02AI95-00051-02>} An implementation need not support
     an Alignment clause for a signed integer type specifying an
     Alignment greater than the largest Alignment value that is ever
     chosen by default by the implementation for any signed integer
     type.  A corresponding limitation may be imposed for modular
     integer types, fixed point types, enumeration types, record types,
     and array types.

32/2
   * {<AI95-00051-02AI95-00051-02>} An implementation need not support a
     nonconfirming Alignment clause which could enable the creation of
     an object of an elementary type which cannot be easily loaded and
     stored by available machine instructions.

32.1/2
   * {<AI95-00291-02AI95-00291-02>} An implementation need not support
     an Alignment specified for a derived tagged type which is not a
     multiple of the Alignment of the parent type.  An implementation
     need not support a nonconfirming Alignment specified for a derived
     untagged by-reference type.

32.a/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00291-02AI95-00291-02>} There is no
          recommendation to support any nonconfirming Alignment clauses
          for types not mentioned above.  Remember that *note 13.1::
          requires support for confirming Alignment clauses for all
          types.

32.b/3
          Implementation Note: {<AI05-0116-1AI05-0116-1>} An
          implementation that tries to support other alignments for
          derived tagged types will need to allow inherited subprograms
          to be passed objects that are less aligned than expected by
          the parent subprogram and type.  This is unlikely to work if
          alignment has any effect on code selection.  Similar issues
          arise for untagged derived types whose parameters are passed
          by reference.

33
The recommended level of support for the Alignment attribute for objects
is:

34/2
   * <This paragraph was deleted.>{<AI95-00291-02AI95-00291-02>}

35
   * For stand-alone library-level objects of statically constrained
     subtypes, the implementation should support all Alignments
     supported by the target linker.  For example, page alignment is
     likely to be supported for such objects, but not for subtypes.

35.1/2
   * {<AI95-00291-02AI95-00291-02>} For other objects, an implementation
     should at least support the alignments supported for their subtype,
     subject to the following:

35.2/2
   * {<AI95-00291-02AI95-00291-02>} An implementation need not support
     Alignments specified for objects of a by-reference type or for
     objects of types containing aliased subcomponents if the specified
     Alignment is not a multiple of the Alignment of the subtype of the
     object.

35.a/2
          Implementation Advice: The recommended level of support for
          the Alignment attribute should be followed.

     NOTES

36
     4  Alignment is a subtype-specific attribute.

38/3
     5  {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} {<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>} A
     component_clause, Component_Size clause, or specifying the Pack
     aspect as True can override a specified Alignment.

38.a
          Discussion: Most objects are allocated by the implementation;
          for these, the implementation obeys the Alignment.  The
          implementation is of course allowed to make an object <more>
          aligned than its Alignment requires -- an object whose
          Alignment is 4 might just happen to land at an address that's
          a multiple of 4096.  For formal parameters, the implementation
          might want to force an Alignment stricter than the parameter's
          subtype.  For example, on some systems, it is customary to
          always align parameters to 4 storage elements.

38.b
          Hence, one might initially assume that the implementation
          could evilly make all Alignments 1 by default, even though
          integers, say, are normally aligned on a 4-storage-element
          boundary.  However, the implementation cannot get away with
          that -- if the Alignment is 1, the generated code cannot
          assume an Alignment of 4, at least not for objects allocated
          outside the control of the implementation.

38.c
          Of course implementations can assume anything they can prove,
          but typically an implementation will be unable to prove much
          about the alignment of, say, an imported object.  Furthermore,
          the information about where an address "came from" can be lost
          to the compiler due to separate compilation.

38.d/3
          {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} The
          Alignment of an object that is a component of a packed
          composite object will usually be 0, to indicate that the
          component is not necessarily aligned on a storage element
          boundary.  For a subtype, an Alignment of 0 means that objects
          of the subtype are not normally aligned on a storage element
          boundary at all.  For example, an implementation might choose
          to make Component_Size be 1 for an array of Booleans, even
          when the Pack aspect has not been specified for the array.  In
          this case, Boolean'Alignment would be 0.  (In the presence of
          tasking, this would in general be feasible only on a machine
          that had atomic test-bit and set-bit instructions.)

38.e
          If the machine has no particular natural alignments, then all
          subtype Alignments will probably be 1 by default.

38.f
          Specifying an Alignment of 0 in an attribute_definition_clause
          does not require the implementation to do anything (except
          return 0 when the Alignment is queried).  However, it might be
          taken as advice on some implementations.

38.g
          It is an error for an Address clause to disobey the object's
          Alignment.  The error cannot be detected at compile time, in
          general, because the Address is not necessarily known at
          compile time (and is almost certainly not static).  We do not
          require a run-time check, since efficiency seems paramount
          here, and Address clauses are treading on thin ice anyway.
          Hence, this misuse of Address clauses is just like any other
          misuse of Address clauses -- it's erroneous.

38.h
          A type extension can have a stricter Alignment than its
          parent.  This can happen, for example, if the Alignment of the
          parent is 4, but the extension contains a component with
          Alignment 8.  The Alignment of a class-wide type or object
          will have to be the maximum possible Alignment of any
          extension.

38.i
          The recommended level of support for the Alignment attribute
          is intended to reflect a minimum useful set of capabilities.
          An implementation can assume that all Alignments are multiples
          of each other -- 1, 2, 4, and 8 might be the only supported
          Alignments for subtypes.  An Alignment of 3 or 6 is unlikely
          to be useful.  For objects that can be allocated statically,
          we recommend that the implementation support larger
          alignments, such as 4096.  We do not recommend such large
          alignments for subtypes, because the maximum subtype alignment
          will also have to be used as the alignment of stack frames,
          heap objects, and class-wide objects.  Similarly, we do not
          recommend such large alignments for stack-allocated objects.

38.j
          If the maximum default Alignment is 8 (say,
          Long_Float'Alignment = 8), then the implementation can refuse
          to accept stricter alignments for subtypes.  This simplifies
          the generated code, since the compiler can align the stack and
          class-wide types to this maximum without a substantial waste
          of space (or time).

38.k
          Note that the recommended level of support takes into account
          interactions between Size and Alignment.  For example, on a
          32-bit machine with 8-bit storage elements, where load and
          store instructions have to be aligned according to the size of
          the thing being loaded or stored, the implementation might
          accept an Alignment of 1 if the Size is 8, but might reject an
          Alignment of 1 if the Size is 32.  On a machine where
          unaligned loads and stores are merely inefficient (as opposed
          to causing hardware traps), we would expect an Alignment of 1
          to be supported for any Size.

          The nonnegative part is missing from RM83 (for mod_clauses,
          nee alignment_clauses, which are an obsolete version of

For a prefix X that denotes an object:

X'Size
               Denotes the size in bits of the representation of the

40.a
          Ramification: Note that Size is in bits even if Machine_Radix

44
For every subtype S:

45
S'Size
               If S is definite, denotes the size [(in bits)] that the
               implementation would choose for the following objects of
               subtype S:

46
                  * A record component of subtype S when the record type
                    is packed.

47
                  * The formal parameter of an instance of
                    Unchecked_Conversion that converts from subtype S to
                    some other subtype.

48
               If S is indefinite, the meaning is implementation
               defined.  The value of this attribute is of the type
               <universal_integer>.  The Size of an object is at least
               as large as that of its subtype, unless the object's Size
               is determined by a Size clause, a component_clause, or a
               Component_Size clause.  Size may be specified for first
               subtypes via an attribute_definition_clause (*note 13.3:
               S0310.); the expression of such a clause shall be static
               and its value nonnegative.

48.a
          Implementation defined: The meaning of Size for indefinite
          subtypes.

48.b
          Reason: The effects of specifying the Size of a subtype are:

48.c
             * Unchecked_Conversion works in a predictable manner.

48.d
             * A composite type cannot be packed so tightly as to
               override the specified Size of a component's subtype.

48.e
             * Assuming the Implementation Advice is obeyed, if the
               specified Size allows independent addressability, then
               the Size of certain objects of the subtype should be
               equal to the subtype's Size.  This applies to stand-alone
               objects and to components (unless a component_clause or a
               Component_Size clause applies).

48.f/3
          {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} A component_clause or a
          Component_Size clause can cause an object to be smaller than
          its subtype's specified size.  The aspect Pack cannot; if a
          component subtype's size is specified, this limits how tightly
          the composite object can be packed.

48.g
          The Size of a class-wide (tagged) subtype is unspecified,
          because it's not clear what it should mean; it should
          certainly not depend on all of the descendants that happen to
          exist in a given program.  Note that this cannot be detected
          at compile time, because in a generic unit, it is not
          necessarily known whether a given subtype is class-wide.  It
          might raise an exception on some implementations.

48.h
          Ramification: A Size clause for a numeric subtype need not
          affect the underlying numeric type.  For example, if I say:

48.i
               type S is range 1..2;
               for S'Size use 64;
  

48.j
          I am not guaranteed that S'Base'Last >= 2**63-1, nor that
          intermediate results will be represented in 64 bits.

48.k
          Reason: There is no need to complicate implementations for
          this sort of thing, because the right way to affect the base
          range of a type is to use the normal way of declaring the base
          range:

48.l
               type Big is range -2**63 .. 2**63 - 1;
               subtype Small is Big range 1..1000;
  

48.m
          Ramification: The Size of a large unconstrained subtype (e.g.
          String'Size) is likely to raise Constraint_Error, since it is
          a nonstatic expression of type <universal_integer> that might
          overflow the largest signed integer type.  There is no
          requirement that the largest integer type be able to represent
          the size in bits of the largest possible object.

In an implementation, Boolean'Size shall be 1.

                        _Implementation Advice_

50/2
{<AI95-00051-02AI95-00051-02>} If the Size of a subtype allows for
efficient independent addressability (see *note 9.10::) on the target
architecture, then the Size of the following objects of the subtype
should equal the Size of the subtype:

51
   * Aliased objects (including components).

52
   * Unaliased components, unless the Size of the component is
     determined by a component_clause or Component_Size clause.

52.a.1/2
          Implementation Advice: If the Size of a subtype allows for
          efficient independent addressability, then the Size of most
          objects of the subtype should equal the Size of the subtype.

52.a
          Ramification: Thus, on a typical 32-bit machine, "for S'Size
          use 32;" will guarantee that aliased objects of subtype S, and
          components whose subtype is S, will have Size = 32 (assuming
          the implementation chooses to obey this Implementation
          Advice).  On the other hand, if one writes, "for S2'Size use
          5;" then stand-alone objects of subtype S2 will typically have
          their Size rounded up to ensure independent addressability.

52.b
          Note that "for S'Size use 32;" does not cause things like
          formal parameters to have Size = 32 -- the implementation is
          allowed to make all parameters be at least 64 bits, for
          example.

52.c
          Note that "for S2'Size use 5;" requires record components
          whose subtype is S2 to be exactly 5 bits if the record type is
          packed.  The same is not true of array components; their Size
          may be rounded up to the nearest factor of the word size.

52.d/2
          Implementation Note: {<AI95-00291-02AI95-00291-02>} On most
          machines, arrays don't contain gaps between elementary
          components; if the Component_Size is greater than the Size of
          the component subtype, the extra bits are generally considered
          part of each component, rather than gaps between components.
          On the other hand, a record might contain gaps between
          elementary components, depending on what sorts of loads,
          stores, and masking operations are generally done by the
          generated code.

52.e/2
          {<AI95-00291-02AI95-00291-02>} For an array, any extra bits
          stored for each elementary component will generally be part of
          the component -- the whole point of storing extra bits is to
          make loads and stores more efficient by avoiding the need to
          mask out extra bits.  The PDP-10 is one counter-example; since
          the hardware supports byte strings with a gap at the end of
          each word, one would want to pack in that manner.

53
A Size clause on a composite subtype should not affect the internal
layout of components.

53.a.1/2
          Implementation Advice: A Size clause on a composite subtype
          should not affect the internal layout of components.

53.a/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} That's what Pack aspects,
          record_representation_clauses, and Component_Size clauses are
          for.

54
The recommended level of support for the Size attribute of subtypes is:

55
   * The Size (if not specified) of a static discrete or fixed point
     subtype should be the number of bits needed to represent each value
     belonging to the subtype using an unbiased representation, leaving
     space for a sign bit only if the subtype contains negative values.
     If such a subtype is a first subtype, then an implementation should
     support a specified Size for it that reflects this representation.

55.a
          Implementation Note: This applies to static enumeration
          subtypes, using the internal codes used to represent the
          values.

55.b
          For a two's-complement machine, this implies that for a static
          signed integer subtype S, if all values of S are in the range
          0 ..  2<n>-1, or all values of S are in the range -2<n-1> ..
          2<n-1>-1, for some <n> less than or equal to the word size,
          then S'Size should be <= the smallest such <n>.  For a
          one's-complement machine, it is the same except that in the
          second range, the lower bound "-2<n-1>" is replaced by
          "-2<n-1>+1".

55.c
          If an integer subtype (whether signed or unsigned) contains no
          negative values, the Size should not include space for a sign
          bit.

55.d
          Typically, the implementation will choose to make the Size of
          a subtype be exactly the smallest such <n>.  However, it
          might, for example, choose a biased representation, in which
          case it could choose a smaller value.

55.e/3
          {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} On most machines, it is in general
          not a good idea to pack (parts of) multiple stand-alone
          objects into the same storage element, because (1) it usually
          doesn't save much space, and (2) it requires locking to
          prevent tasks from interfering with each other, since separate
          stand-alone objects are independently addressable.  Therefore,
          if S'Size = 2 on a machine with 8-bit storage elements, the
          size of a stand-alone object of subtype S will probably not be
          2.  It might, for example, be 8, 16 or 32, depending on the
          availability and efficiency of various machine instructions.
          The same applies to components of composite types, unless
          Pack, Component_Size, or record layout is specified.

55.f
          For an unconstrained discriminated object, if the
          implementation allocates the maximum possible size, then the
          Size attribute should return that maximum possible size.

55.g
          Ramification: The Size of an object X is not usually the same
          as that of its subtype S. If X is a stand-alone object or a
          parameter, for example, most implementations will round X'Size
          up to a storage element boundary, or more, so X'Size might be
          greater than S'Size.  On the other hand, X'Size cannot be less
          than S'Size, even if the implementation can prove, for
          example, that the range of values actually taken on by X
          during execution is smaller than the range of S.

55.h
          For example, if S is a first integer subtype whose range is
          0..3, S'Size will be probably be 2 bits, and components of
          packed composite types of this subtype will be 2 bits
          (assuming Storage_Unit is a multiple of 2), but stand-alone
          objects and parameters will probably not have a size of 2
          bits; they might be rounded up to 32 bits, for example.  On
          the other hand, Unchecked_Conversion will use the 2-bit size,
          even when converting a stand-alone object, as one would
          expect.

55.i
          Another reason for making the Size of an object bigger than
          its subtype's Size is to support the run-time detection of
          uninitialized variables.  The implementation might add an
          extra value to a discrete subtype that represents the
          uninitialized state, and check for this value on use.  In some
          cases, the extra value will require an extra bit in the
          representation of the object.  Such detection is not required
          by the language.  If it is provided, the implementation has to
          be able to turn it off.  For example, if the programmer gives
          a record_representation_clause or Component_Size clause that
          makes a component too small to allow the extra bit, then the
          implementation will not be able to perform the checking (not
          using this method, anyway).

55.j
          The fact that the size of an object is not necessarily the
          same as its subtype can be confusing:

55.k
               type Device_Register is range 0..2**8 - 1;
               for Device_Register'Size use 8; --< Confusing!>
               My_Device : Device_Register;
               for My_Device'Address use To_Address(16#FF00#);
  

55.l
          The programmer might think that My_Device'Size is 8, and that
          My_Device'Address points at an 8-bit location.  However, this
          is not true.  In Ada 83 (and in Ada 95), My_Device'Size might
          well be 32, and My_Device'Address might well point at the
          high-order 8 bits of the 32-bit object, which are always all
          zero bits.  If My_Device'Address is passed to an assembly
          language subprogram, based on the programmer's assumption, the
          program will not work properly.

55.m
          Reason: It is not reasonable to require that an implementation
          allocate exactly 8 bits to all objects of subtype
          Device_Register.  For example, in many run-time models,
          stand-alone objects and parameters are always aligned to a
          word boundary.  Such run-time models are generally based on
          hardware considerations that are beyond the control of the
          implementer.  (It is reasonable to require that an
          implementation allocate exactly 8 bits to all components of
          subtype Device_Register, if packed.)

55.n
          Ramification: The correct way to write the above code is like
          this:

55.o
               type Device_Register is range 0..2**8 - 1;
               My_Device : Device_Register;
               for My_Device'Size use 8;
               for My_Device'Address use To_Address(16#FF00#);
  

55.p
          If the implementation cannot accept 8-bit stand-alone objects,
          then this will be illegal.  However, on a machine where an
          8-bit device register exists, the implementation will probably
          be able to accept 8-bit stand-alone objects.  Therefore,
          My_Device'Size will be 8, and My_Device'Address will point at
          those 8 bits, as desired.

55.q
          If an object of subtype Device_Register is passed to a foreign
          language subprogram, it will be passed according to that
          subprogram's conventions.  Most foreign language
          implementations have similar run-time model restrictions.  For
          example, when passing to a C function, where the argument is
          of the C type char* (that is, pointer to char), the C compiler
          will generally expect a full word value, either on the stack,
          or in a register.  It will <not> expect a single byte.  Thus,
          Size clauses for subtypes really have nothing to do with
          passing parameters to foreign language subprograms.

56
   * For a subtype implemented with levels of indirection, the Size
     should include the size of the pointers, but not the size of what
     they point at.

56.a
          Ramification: For example, if a task object is represented as
          a pointer to some information (including a task stack), then
          the size of the object should be the size of the pointer.  The
          Storage_Size, on the other hand, should include the size of
          the stack.

56.1/2
   * {<AI95-00051-02AI95-00051-02>} An implementation should support a
     Size clause for a discrete type, fixed point type, record type, or
     array type, subject to the following:

56.2/2
             * {<AI95-00051-02AI95-00051-02>} An implementation need not
               support a Size clause for a signed integer type
               specifying a Size greater than that of the largest signed
               integer type supported by the implementation in the
               absence of a size clause (that is, when the size is
               chosen by default).  A corresponding limitation may be
               imposed for modular integer types, fixed point types,
               enumeration types, record types, and array types.

56.b/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00051-02AI95-00051-02>} Note that the
          "corresponding limitation" for a record or array type implies
          that an implementation may impose some reasonable maximum size
          for records and arrays (e.g.  2**32 bits), which is an upper
          bound ("capacity" limit) on the size, whether chosen by
          default or by being specified by the user.  The largest size
          supported for records need not be the same as the largest size
          supported for arrays.

56.b.1/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0155-1AI05-0155-1>} Only Size clauses
          with a size greater than or equal to the Size that would be
          chosen by default may be safely presumed to be supported on
          nonstatic elementary subtypes.  Implementations may choose to
          support smaller sizes, but only if the Size allows any value
          of the subtype to be represented, for any possible value of
          the bounds.

56.c/2
          Implementation Advice: The recommended level of support for
          the Size attribute should be followed.

56.d/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00291-02AI95-00291-02>} There is no
          recommendation to support any nonconfirming Size clauses for

          {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} We specify the meaning of Size
          in much more detail than Ada 83.  This is not technically an
          inconsistency, but it is in practice, as most Ada 83 compilers
          use a different definition for Size than is required here.
          This should have been documented more explicitly during the
          Ada 9X process.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

58.a
          The requirement for a nonnegative value in a Size clause was
          not in RM83, but it's hard to see how it would make sense.
          For uniformity, we forbid negative sizes, rather than letting
          implementations define their meaning.

T'Storage_Size
               {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} Denotes the number of storage
               elements reserved for the task.  The value of this
               attribute is of the type <universal_integer>.  The
               Storage_Size includes the size of the task's stack, if
               any.  The language does not specify whether or not it
               includes other storage associated with the task (such as
               the "task control block" used by some implementations.)
               If the aspect Storage_Size is specified for the type of
               the object, the value of the Storage_Size attribute is at
               least the value determined by the aspect.

60.a
          Ramification: The value of this attribute is never negative,
          since it is impossible to "reserve" a negative number of
          storage elements.

60.b
          If the implementation chooses to allocate an initial amount of
          storage, and then increase this as needed, the Storage_Size
          cannot include the additional amounts (assuming the allocation
          of the additional amounts can raise Storage_Error); this is
          inherent in the meaning of "reserved."

60.c
          The implementation is allowed to allocate different amounts of
          storage for different tasks of the same subtype.

71
The recommended level of support for the Component_Size attribute is:

72
   * An implementation need not support specified Component_Sizes that
     are less than the Size of the component subtype.

73/3
   * {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} An implementation should support
     specified Component_Sizes that are factors and multiples of the
     word size.  For such Component_Sizes, the array should contain no
     gaps between components.  For other Component_Sizes (if supported),
     the array should contain no gaps between components when Pack is
     also specified; the implementation should forbid this combination
     in cases where it cannot support a no-gaps representation.

73.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} For example, if
          Storage_Unit = 8, and Word_Size = 32, then the user is allowed
          to specify a Component_Size of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32, with no
          gaps.  In addition, <n>*32 is allowed for positive integers
          <n>, again with no gaps.  If the implementation accepts
          Component_Size = 3, then it might allocate 10 components per
          word, with a 2-bit gap at the end of each word (unless Pack is
          also specified), or it might not have any internal gaps at
          all.  (There can be gaps at either end of the array.)

               a name that denotes an object.  The object denoted by the
               actual parameter can be of any type.  This function
               evaluates the names of the objects involved.  It returns
               True if the representation of the object denoted by the
               actual parameter occupies exactly the same bits as the
               representation of the object denoted by X and the objects
               occupy at least one bit; otherwise, it returns False.

73.c/3

               {<AI05-0092-1AI05-0092-1>} S'External_Tag denotes an

               for a specific tagged type via an
               attribute_definition_clause; the expression of such a
               clause shall be static.  The default external tag
               representation is implementation defined.  See *note
               13.13.2::.  The value of External_Tag is never
               inherited[; the default value is always used unless a new
               value is directly specified for a type].

          for a type tag.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

75.1/3
{<AI05-0113-1AI05-0113-1>} If a user-specified external tag
S'External_Tag is the same as T'External_Tag for some other tagged type
declared by a different declaration in the partition, Program_Error is
raised by the elaboration of the attribute_definition_clause.

75.c/3
          Ramification: This rule does not depend on the visibility of
          the other tagged type, but it does depend on the existence of
          the other tagged type.  The other tagged type could have the
          default external tag or a user-specified external tag.

75.d/3
          This rule allows the same declaration to be elaborated
          multiple times.  In that case, different types could have the
          same external tag.  If that happens, Internal_Tag would return
          some unspecified tag, and Descendant_Tag probably would return
          the intended tag (using the given ancestor to determine which
          type is intended).  However, in some cases (such as multiple
          instantiations of a derived tagged type declared in a generic
          body), Tag_Error might be raised by Descendant_Tag if multiple
          types are identified.

75.e/3
          Note that while there is a race condition inherent in this
          definition (which attribute_definition_clause raises
          Program_Error depends on the order of elaboration), it doesn't
          matter as a program with two such clauses is simply wrong.
          Two types that both come from the same declaration are
          allowed, as noted previously.

                     _Implementation Requirements_

76
In an implementation, the default external tag for each specific tagged
type declared in a partition shall be distinct, so long as the type is
declared outside an instance of a generic body.  If the compilation unit
in which a given tagged type is declared, and all compilation units on
which it semantically depends, are the same in two different partitions,
then the external tag for the type shall be the same in the two
partitions.  What it means for a compilation unit to be the same in two
different partitions is implementation defined.  At a minimum, if the
compilation unit is not recompiled between building the two different
partitions that include it, the compilation unit is considered the same
in the two partitions.

76.a
          Implementation defined: What determines whether a compilation
          unit is the same in two different partitions.

76.b
          Reason: These requirements are important because external tags
          are used for input/output of class-wide types.  These
          requirements ensure that what is written by one program can be
          read back by some other program so long as they share the same
          declaration for the type (and everything it depends on).

76.c
          The user may specify the external tag if (s)he wishes its
          value to be stable even across changes to the compilation unit
          in which the type is declared (or changes in some unit on
          which it depends).

76.d/2
          {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} We use a String rather than a
          Stream_Element_Array to represent an external tag for
          portability.

76.e
          Ramification: Note that the characters of an external tag need
          not all be graphic characters.  In other words, the external
          tag can be a sequence of arbitrary 8-bit bytes.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

76.1/3
{<AI05-0113-1AI05-0113-1>} If a user-specified external tag
S'External_Tag is the same as T'External_Tag for some other tagged type
declared by a different declaration in the partition, the partition may
be rejected.

76.f/3
          Ramification: This is, in general, a post-compilation check.
          This permission is intended for implementations that do
          link-time construction of the external tag lookup table;
          implementations that dynamically construct the table will
          likely prefer to raise Program_Error upon elaboration of the
          problem construct.  We don't want this check to require any
          implementation complexity, as it will be very rare that there
          would be a problem.

     NOTES

77/2
     10  {<AI95-00270-01AI95-00270-01>} The following language-defined
     attributes are specifiable, at least for some of the kinds of
     entities to which they apply: Address, Alignment, Bit_Order,
     Component_Size, External_Tag, Input, Machine_Radix, Output, Read,
     Size, Small, Storage_Pool, Storage_Size, Stream_Size, and Write.

78
     11  It follows from the general rules in *note 13.1:: that if one
     writes "for X'Size use Y;" then the X'Size attribute_reference will
     return Y (assuming the implementation allows the Size clause).  The
     same is true for all of the specifiable attributes except
     Storage_Size.

78.a
          Ramification: An implementation may specify that an
          implementation-defined attribute is specifiable for certain
          entities.  This follows from the fact that the semantics of
          implementation-defined attributes is implementation defined.
          An implementation is not allowed to make a language-defined
          attribute specifiable if it isn't.

     NOTES

85
     12  <Notes on the examples:> In the Size clause for Short, fifteen
     bits is the minimum necessary, since the type definition requires
     Short'Small <= 2**(-7).

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

85.a
          The syntax rule for length_clause is replaced with the new
          syntax rule for attribute_definition_clause, and it is
          modified to allow a name (as well as an expression).

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

85.b
          The syntax rule for attribute_definition_clause now requires
          that the prefix of the attribute be a local_name; in Ada 83
          this rule was stated in the text.

85.c/2
          {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} In Ada 83, the relationship
          between a aspect_clause specifying a certain aspect and an
          attribute that queried that aspect was unclear.  In Ada 95,
          they are the same, except for certain explicit exceptions.

          Adjusted the Recommended Level of Support for Size to

          capabilities are required.  Also eliminated any dependence on
          whether an aspect was specified (a confirming representation
          item should not affect the semantics).

          those for their components, because it was never intended to
          apply to components whose location was specified with a
          representation item.  Moreover, it causes a difference in
          legality when a confirming alignment is specified for one of
          the composite types.

85.j/2
          {<AI95-00291-02AI95-00291-02>} Removed recommended level of
          support rules about types with by-reference and aliased parts,
          because there are now blanket rules covering all recommended
          level of support rules.

85.k/2
          {<AI95-00291-02AI95-00291-02>} Split the definition of
          Alignment for subtypes and for objects.  This simplified the
          wording and eliminated confusion about which rules applied to
          objects, which applied to subtypes, and which applied to both.

          with a prefix of a generic formal subprogram whose actual
          parameter has convention Intrinsic now raises Program_Error.
          Since it is unlikely that such an attribute would have done
          anything useful (a subprogram with convention Intrinsic is not
          expected to have a normal subprogram body), it is highly
          unlikely that any existing programs would notice the
          difference, and any that do probably are buggy.

85.m/3
          {<AI95-0113-1AI95-0113-1>} Correction: User-specified external
          tags that conflict with other external tags raise
          Program_Error (or are optionally illegal).  This was legal and
          did not raise an exception in the past, although the effects
          were not defined.  So while a program might depend on such
          behavior, the results were not portable (even to different
          versions of the same implementation).  Such programs should be
          rare.

          illegal.  Such attributes are very unlikely to have provided a
          useful answer (the intended meaning of convention Intrinsic is
          that there is no actual subprogram body for the operation), so
          this is highly unlikely to affect any existing programs unless

13.4 Enumeration Representation Clauses
=======================================

1
[An enumeration_representation_clause specifies the internal codes for
enumeration literals.]

                               _Syntax_

2
     enumeration_representation_clause ::=
         for <first_subtype_>local_name use enumeration_aggregate;

3
     enumeration_aggregate ::= array_aggregate

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

4
The enumeration_aggregate shall be written as a one-dimensional
array_aggregate, for which the index subtype is the unconstrained
subtype of the enumeration type, and each component expression is
expected to be of any integer type.

4.a
          Ramification: The "full coverage rules" for aggregates
          applies.  An others is not allowed -- there is no applicable
          index constraint in this context.

                           _Legality Rules_

5
The <first_subtype_>local_name of an enumeration_representation_clause
shall denote an enumeration subtype.

5.a
          Ramification: As for all type-related representation items,
          the local_name is required to denote a first subtype.

6/2
{<AI95-00287-01AI95-00287-01>} Each component of the array_aggregate
shall be given by an expression rather than a <>.  The expressions given
in the array_aggregate shall be static, and shall specify distinct
integer codes for each value of the enumeration type; the associated
integer codes shall satisfy the predefined ordering relation of the
type.

6.a
          Reason: Each value of the enumeration type has to be given an
          internal code, even if the first subtype of the enumeration
          type is constrained to only a subrange (this is only possible
          if the enumeration type is a derived type).  This "full
          coverage" requirement is important because one may refer to
          Enum'Base'First and Enum'Base'Last, which need to have defined
          representations.

                          _Static Semantics_

7
An enumeration_representation_clause specifies the <coding> aspect of
representation.  The coding consists of the <internal code> for each
enumeration literal, that is, the integral value used internally to
represent each literal.

7.a/3
          Aspect Description for Coding: Internal representation of
          enumeration literals.  Specified by an
          enumeration_representation_clause, not by an
          aspect_specification.

                     _Implementation Requirements_

8
For nonboolean enumeration types, if the coding is not specified for the
type, then for each value of the type, the internal code shall be equal
to its position number.

8.a
          Reason: This default representation is already used by all
          known Ada compilers for nonboolean enumeration types.
          Therefore, we make it a requirement so users can depend on it,
          rather than feeling obliged to supply for every enumeration
          type an enumeration representation clause that is equivalent
          to this default rule.

8.b
          Discussion: For boolean types, it is relatively common to use
          all ones for True, and all zeros for False, since some
          hardware supports that directly.  Of course, for a one-bit
          Boolean object (like in a packed array), False is presumably
          zero and True is presumably one (choosing the reverse would be
          extremely unfriendly!).

                        _Implementation Advice_

9
The recommended level of support for enumeration_representation_clauses
is:

10
   * An implementation should support at least the internal codes in the
     range System.Min_Int..System.Max_Int.  An implementation need not
     support enumeration_representation_clause (*note 13.4: S0311.)s for
     boolean types.

10.a
          Ramification: The implementation may support numbers outside
          the above range, such as numbers greater than System.Max_Int.
          See AI83-00564.

10.b
          Reason: The benefits of specifying the internal coding of a
          boolean type do not outweigh the implementation costs.
          Consider, for example, the implementation of the logical
          operators on a packed array of booleans with strange internal
          codes.  It's implementable, but not worth it.

10.c/2
          Implementation Advice: The recommended level of support for
          enumeration_representation_clauses should be followed.

     {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} Unchecked_Conversion may be used to
     query the internal codes used for an enumeration type.  The
     attributes of the type, such as Succ, Pred, and Pos, are unaffected
     by the enumeration_representation_clause.  For example, Pos always
     returns the position number, <not> the internal integer code that
     might have been specified in an enumeration_representation_clause.

11.a
          Discussion: Suppose the enumeration type in question is
          derived:

11.b
               type T1 is (Red, Green, Blue);
               subtype S1 is T1 range Red .. Green;
               type S2 is new S1;
               for S2 use (Red => 10, Green => 20, Blue => 30);

          {<8652/00098652/0009>} {<AI95-00137-01AI95-00137-01>} The
          enumeration_representation_clause has to specify values for
          all enumerals, even ones that are not in S2 (such as Blue).
          The Base attribute can be used to get at these values.  For
          example:

11.d
               for I in S2'Base loop
                   ... --< When I equals Blue, the internal code is 30.>
               end loop;

11.e
          We considered allowing or requiring "for S2'Base use ..."  in
          cases like this, but it didn't seem worth the trouble.

                              _Examples_

12
<Example of an enumeration representation clause:>

13
     type Mix_Code is (ADD, SUB, MUL, LDA, STA, STZ);

14
     for Mix_Code use
        (ADD => 1, SUB => 2, MUL => 3, LDA => 8, STA => 24, STZ =>33);

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

14.a
          As in other similar contexts, Ada 95 allows expressions of any
          integer type, not just expressions of type
          <universal_integer>, for the component expressions in the
          enumeration_aggregate.  The preference rules for the
          predefined operators of <root_integer> eliminate any
          ambiguity.

14.b
          For portability, we now require that the default coding for an
          enumeration type be the "obvious" coding using position
          numbers.  This is satisfied by all known implementations.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

          something called representation_clause.

13.5 Record Layout
==================

1
The <(record) layout> aspect of representation consists of the <storage
places> for some or all components, that is, storage place attributes of
the components.  The layout can be specified with a
record_representation_clause (*note 13.5.1: S0313.).

13.5.1 Record Representation Clauses
------------------------------------

1
[A record_representation_clause specifies the storage representation of
records and record extensions, that is, the order, position, and size of
components (including discriminants, if any).  ]

                     _Language Design Principles_

1.a/2
          {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} It should be feasible for an
          implementation to use negative offsets in the representation
          of composite types.  However, no implementation should be
          forced to support negative offsets.  Therefore, in the
          interest of uniformity, negative offsets should be disallowed
          in record_representation_clauses.

                               _Syntax_

2
     record_representation_clause ::=
         for <first_subtype_>local_name use
           record [mod_clause]
             {component_clause}
           end record;

3
     component_clause ::=
         <component_>local_name at position range first_bit .. last_bit;

4
     position ::= <static_>expression

5
     first_bit ::= <static_>simple_expression

6
     last_bit ::= <static_>simple_expression

6.a
          Reason: First_bit and last_bit need to be simple_expression
          instead of expression for the same reason as in range (see
          *note 3.5::, "*note 3.5:: Scalar Types").

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

7
Each position, first_bit, and last_bit is expected to be of any integer
type.

7.a
          Ramification: These need not have the same integer type.

                           _Legality Rules_

8/2
{<AI95-00436-01AI95-00436-01>} The <first_subtype_>local_name of a
record_representation_clause shall denote a specific record or record
extension subtype.

8.a
          Ramification: As for all type-related representation items,
          the local_name is required to denote a first subtype.

9
If the <component_>local_name is a direct_name, the local_name shall
denote a component of the type.  For a record extension, the component
shall not be inherited, and shall not be a discriminant that corresponds
to a discriminant of the parent type.  If the <component_>local_name
(*note 13.1: S0306.) has an attribute_designator (*note 4.1.4: S0101.),
the direct_name (*note 4.1: S0092.) of the local_name (*note 13.1:
S0306.) shall denote either the declaration of the type or a component
of the type, and the attribute_designator (*note 4.1.4: S0101.) shall
denote an implementation-defined implicit component of the type.

10
The position, first_bit, and last_bit shall be static expressions.  The
value of position and first_bit shall be nonnegative.  The value of
last_bit shall be no less than first_bit - 1.

10.a
          Ramification: A component_clause such as "X at 4 range 0..-1;"
          is allowed if X can fit in zero bits.

10.1/2
{<AI95-00133-01AI95-00133-01>} If the nondefault bit ordering applies to
the type, then either:

10.2/2
   * the value of last_bit shall be less than the size of the largest
     machine scalar; or

10.3/2
   * the value of first_bit shall be zero and the value of last_bit + 1
     shall be a multiple of System.Storage_Unit.

11
At most one component_clause is allowed for each component of the type,
including for each discriminant (component_clauses may be given for
some, all, or none of the components).  Storage places within a
component_list shall not overlap, unless they are for components in
distinct variants of the same variant_part.

12
A name that denotes a component of a type is not allowed within a
record_representation_clause for the type, except as the
<component_>local_name of a component_clause.

12.a
          Reason: It might seem strange to make the
          record_representation_clause part of the declarative region,
          and then disallow mentions of the components within almost all
          of the record_representation_clause.  The alternative would be
          to treat the <component_>local_name like a formal parameter
          name in a subprogram call (in terms of visibility).  However,
          this rule would imply slightly different semantics, because
          (given the actual rule) the components can hide other
          declarations.  This was the rule in Ada 83, and we see no
          reason to change it.  The following, for example, was and is
          illegal:

12.b
               type T is
                   record
                       X : Integer;
                   end record;
               X : constant := 31; --< Same defining name as the component.>
               for T use
                   record
                       X at 0 range 0..X; --< Illegal!>
                   end record;
    

12.c
          The component X hides the named number X throughout the
          record_representation_clause.

                          _Static Semantics_

13/2
{<AI95-00133-01AI95-00133-01>} A record_representation_clause (without
the mod_clause) specifies the layout.

13.a/3
          Aspect Description for Layout (record): Layout of record
          components.  Specified by a record_representation_clause, not
          by an aspect_specification.

13.b/3
          Aspect Description for Record layout: See Layout.

13.1/2
{<AI95-00133-01AI95-00133-01>} If the default bit ordering applies to
the type, the position, first_bit, and last_bit of each component_clause
directly specify the position and size of the corresponding component.

13.2/3
{<AI95-00133-01AI95-00133-01>} {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} If the
nondefault bit ordering applies to the type, then the layout is
determined as follows:

13.3/2
   * the component_clauses for which the value of last_bit is greater
     than or equal to the size of the largest machine scalar directly
     specify the position and size of the corresponding component;

13.4/2
   * for other component_clauses, all of the components having the same
     value of position are considered to be part of a single machine
     scalar, located at that position; this machine scalar has a size
     which is the smallest machine scalar size larger than the largest
     last_bit for all component_clauses at that position; the first_bit
     and last_bit of each component_clause are then interpreted as bit
     offsets in this machine scalar.

13.c/2
          <This paragraph was deleted.>{<AI95-00133-01AI95-00133-01>}

13.d
          Ramification: A component_clause also determines the value of
          the Size attribute of the component, since this attribute is
          related to First_Bit and Last_Bit.

14
[A record_representation_clause for a record extension does not override
the layout of the parent part;] if the layout was specified for the
parent type, it is inherited by the record extension.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

15
An implementation may generate implementation-defined components (for
example, one containing the offset of another component).  An
implementation may generate names that denote such
implementation-defined components; such names shall be
implementation-defined attribute_references.  An implementation may
allow such implementation-defined names to be used in
record_representation_clause (*note 13.5.1: S0313.)s.  An implementation
can restrict such component_clause (*note 13.5.1: S0314.)s in any manner
it sees fit.

15.a
          Implementation defined: Implementation-defined components.

15.b
          Ramification: Of course, since the semantics of
          implementation-defined attributes is implementation defined,
          the implementation need not support these names in all
          situations.  They might be purely for the purpose of
          component_clauses, for example.  The visibility rules for such
          names are up to the implementation.

15.c
          We do not allow such component names to be normal identifiers
          -- that would constitute blanket permission to do all kinds of
          evil things.

15.d
          Discussion: Such implementation-defined components are known
          in the vernacular as "dope."  Their main purpose is for
          storing offsets of components that depend on discriminants.

16
If a record_representation_clause is given for an untagged derived type,
the storage place attributes for all of the components of the derived
type may differ from those of the corresponding components of the parent
type, even for components whose storage place is not specified
explicitly in the record_representation_clause (*note 13.5.1: S0313.).

16.a
          Reason: This is clearly necessary, since the whole record may
          need to be laid out differently.

                        _Implementation Advice_

17
The recommended level of support for record_representation_clauses is:

17.1/2
   * {<AI95-00133-01AI95-00133-01>} An implementation should support
     machine scalars that correspond to all of the integer, floating
     point, and address formats supported by the machine.

18
   * An implementation should support storage places that can be
     extracted with a load, mask, shift sequence of machine code, and
     set with a load, shift, mask, store sequence, given the available
     machine instructions and run-time model.

19
   * A storage place should be supported if its size is equal to the
     Size of the component subtype, and it starts and ends on a boundary
     that obeys the Alignment of the component subtype.

20/2
   * {<AI95-00133-01AI95-00133-01>} For a component with a subtype whose
     Size is less than the word size, any storage place that does not
     cross an aligned word boundary should be supported.

20.a
          Reason: The above recommendations are sufficient to define
          interfaces to most interesting hardware.  This causes less
          implementation burden than the definition in ACID, which
          requires arbitrary bit alignments of arbitrarily large
          components.  Since the ACID definition is neither enforced by
          the ACVC, nor supported by all implementations, it seems OK
          for us to weaken it.

21
   * An implementation may reserve a storage place for the tag field of
     a tagged type, and disallow other components from overlapping that
     place.

21.a
          Ramification: Similar permission for other dope is not
          granted.

22
   * An implementation need not support a component_clause for a
     component of an extension part if the storage place is not after
     the storage places of all components of the parent type, whether or
     not those storage places had been specified.

22.a
          Reason: These restrictions are probably necessary if block
          equality operations are to be feasible for class-wide types.
          For block comparison to work, the implementation typically has
          to fill in any gaps with zero (or one) bits.  If a "gap" in
          the parent type is filled in with a component in a type
          extension, then this won't work when a class-wide object is
          passed by reference, as is required.

22.b/2
          Implementation Advice: The recommended level of support for
          record_representation_clauses should be followed.

     NOTES

23
     14  If no component_clause is given for a component, then the
     choice of the storage place for the component is left to the
     implementation.  If component_clauses are given for all components,
     the record_representation_clause completely specifies the
     representation of the type and will be obeyed exactly by the
     implementation.

23.a
          Ramification: The visibility rules prevent the name of a
          component of the type from appearing in a
          record_representation_clause at any place <except> for the
          <component_>local_name of a component_clause.  However, since
          the record_representation_clause is part of the declarative
          region of the type declaration, the component names hide outer
          homographs throughout.

23.b/1
          {<8652/00098652/0009>} {<AI95-00137-01AI95-00137-01>} A
          record_representation_clause cannot be given for a protected
          type, even though protected types, like record types, have
          components.  The primary reason for this rule is that there is
          likely to be too much dope in a protected type -- entry
          queues, bit maps for barrier values, etc.  In order to control
          the representation of the user-defined components, simply
          declare a record type, give it a record_representation_clause
          (*note 13.5.1: S0313.), and give the protected type one
          component whose type is the record type.  Alternatively, if
          the protected object is protecting something like a device
          register, it makes more sense to keep the thing being
          protected outside the protected object (possibly with a
          pointer to it in the protected object), in order to keep
          implementation-defined components out of the way.

                              _Examples_

24
<Example of specifying the layout of a record type:>

25
     Word : constant := 4;  --<  storage element is byte, 4 bytes per word>

26
     type State         is (A,M,W,P);
     type Mode          is (Fix, Dec, Exp, Signif);

27
     type Byte_Mask     is array (0..7)  of Boolean;
     type State_Mask    is array (State) of Boolean;
     type Mode_Mask     is array (Mode)  of Boolean;

28
     type Program_Status_Word is
       record
           System_Mask        : Byte_Mask;
           Protection_Key     : Integer range 0 .. 3;

           Cc                 : Integer range 0 .. 3;
           Program_Mask       : Mode_Mask;
           Inst_Address       : Address;
     end record;

29
     for Program_Status_Word use
       record
           System_Mask      at 0*Word range 0  .. 7;
           Protection_Key   at 0*Word range 10 .. 11; --< bits 8,9 unused>
           Machine_State    at 0*Word range 12 .. 15;
           Interrupt_Cause  at 0*Word range 16 .. 31;
           Ilc              at 1*Word range 0  .. 1;  --< second word>
           Cc               at 1*Word range 2  .. 3;
           Program_Mask     at 1*Word range 4  .. 7;
           Inst_Address     at 1*Word range 8  .. 31;
       end record;

30
     for Program_Status_Word'Size use 8*System.Storage_Unit;
     for Program_Status_Word'Alignment use 8;

     NOTES

31
     15  <Note on the example:> The record_representation_clause defines
     the record layout.  The Size clause guarantees that (at least)
     eight storage elements are used for objects of the type.  The
     Alignment clause guarantees that aliased, imported, or exported
     objects of the type will have addresses divisible by eight.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

31.a
          The alignment_clause has been renamed to mod_clause and moved
          to *note Annex J::, "*note Annex J:: Obsolescent Features".

31.b
          We have clarified that implementation-defined component names
          have to be in the form of an attribute_reference of a
          component or of the first subtype itself; surely Ada 83 did
          not intend to allow arbitrary identifiers.

31.c
          The RM83-13.4(7) wording incorrectly allows components in
          nonvariant records to overlap.  We have corrected that
          oversight.

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 95_

31.d/2
          {<AI95-00133-01AI95-00133-01>} Amendment Correction: The
          meaning of a record_representation_clause for the nondefault
          bit order is now clearly defined.  Thus, such clauses can be
          portably written.  In order to do that though, the equivalence
          of bit 1 in word 1 to bit 9 in word 0 (for a machine with
          Storage_Unit = 8) had to be dropped for the nondefault bit
          order.  Any record_representation_clauses which depends on
          that equivalence will break (although such code would imply a
          noncontiguous representation for a component, and it seems
          unlikely that compilers were supporting that anyway).

                        _Extensions to Ada 95_

31.e/2
          {<AI95-00436-01AI95-00436-01>} Amendment Correction: The
          undocumented (and likely unintentional) incompatibility with
          Ada 83 caused by not allowing record_representation_clauses on
          limited record types is removed.

                          _Static Semantics_

1
For a component C of a composite, non-array object R, the <storage place
attributes> are defined:

1.a
          Ramification: The storage place attributes are not
          (individually) specifiable, but the user may control their
          values by giving a record_representation_clause.

2/2
R.C'Position
               {<AI95-00133-01AI95-00133-01>} If the nondefault bit
               ordering applies to the composite type, and if a
               component_clause specifies the placement of C, denotes
               the value given for the position of the component_clause;
               otherwise, denotes the same value as R.C'Address -
               R'Address.  The value of this attribute is of the type
               <universal_integer>.

2.a/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00133-01AI95-00133-01>} Thus, for the
          default bit order, R.C'Position is the offset of C in storage
          elements from the beginning of the object, where the first
          storage element of an object is numbered zero.  R'Address +
          R.C'Position = R.C'Address.  For record extensions, the offset
          is not measured from the beginning of the extension part, but
          from the beginning of the whole object, as usual.

2.b
          In "R.C'Address - R'Address", the "-" operator is the one in
          System.Storage_Elements that takes two Addresses and returns a
          Storage_Offset.

3/2
R.C'First_Bit
               {<AI95-00133-01AI95-00133-01>} If the nondefault bit
               ordering applies to the composite type, and if a
               component_clause specifies the placement of C, denotes
               the value given for the first_bit of the
               component_clause; otherwise, denotes the offset, from the
               start of the first of the storage elements occupied by C,
               of the first bit occupied by C. This offset is measured
               in bits.  The first bit of a storage element is numbered
               zero.  The value of this attribute is of the type
               <universal_integer>.

4/2
R.C'Last_Bit
               {<AI95-00133-01AI95-00133-01>} If the nondefault bit
               ordering applies to the composite type, and if a
               component_clause specifies the placement of C, denotes
               the value given for the last_bit of the component_clause;
               otherwise, denotes the offset, from the start of the
               first of the storage elements occupied by C, of the last
               bit occupied by C. This offset is measured in bits.  The
               value of this attribute is of the type
               <universal_integer>.

4.a/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} The ordering of
          bits in a storage element is defined in *note 13.5.3::, "*note
          13.5.3:: Bit Ordering".

4.b
          R.C'Size = R.C'Last_Bit - R.C'First_Bit + 1.  (Unless the
          implementation chooses an indirection representation.)

4.c
          If a component_clause applies to a component, then that
          component will be at the same relative storage place in all
          objects of the type.  Otherwise, there is no such requirement.

                        _Implementation Advice_

5
If a component is represented using some form of pointer (such as an
offset) to the actual data of the component, and this data is contiguous
with the rest of the object, then the storage place attributes should
reflect the place of the actual data, not the pointer.  If a component
is allocated discontiguously from the rest of the object, then a warning
should be generated upon reference to one of its storage place
attributes.

5.a
          Reason: For discontiguous components, these attributes make no
          sense.  For example, an implementation might allocate
          dynamic-sized components on the heap.  For another example, an
          implementation might allocate the discriminants separately
          from the other components, so that multiple objects of the
          same subtype can share discriminants.  Such representations
          cannot happen if there is a component_clause for that
          component.

5.b/2
          Implementation Advice: If a component is represented using a
          pointer to the actual data of the component which is
          contiguous with the rest of the object, then the storage place
          attributes should reflect the place of the actual data.  If a
          component is allocated discontiguously from the rest of the
          object, then a warning should be generated upon reference to
          one of its storage place attributes.

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 95_

5.c/2
          {<AI95-00133-01AI95-00133-01>} Amendment Correction: The
          meaning of the storage place attributes for the nondefault bit
          order is now clearly defined, and can be different than that
          given by strictly following the Ada 95 wording.  Any code
          which depends on the original Ada 95 values for a type using
          the nondefault bit order where they are different will break.

13.5.3 Bit Ordering
-------------------

1
[The Bit_Order attribute specifies the interpretation of the storage
place attributes.]

1.a
          Reason: The intention is to provide uniformity in the
          interpretation of storage places across implementations on a
          particular machine by allowing the user to specify the
          Bit_Order.  It is not intended to fully support data
          interoperability across different machines, although it can be
          used for that purpose in some situations.

1.b/2
          {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} We can't require all
          implementations on a given machine to use the same bit
          ordering by default; if the user cares, a Bit_Order
          attribute_definition_clause can be used to force all
          implementations to use the same bit ordering.

                          _Static Semantics_

2
A bit ordering is a method of interpreting the meaning of the storage
place attributes.  High_Order_First [(known in the vernacular as "big
endian")] means that the first bit of a storage element (bit 0) is the
most significant bit (interpreting the sequence of bits that represent a
component as an unsigned integer value).  Low_Order_First [(known in the
vernacular as "little endian")] means the opposite: the first bit is the
least significant.

3
For every specific record subtype S, the following attribute is defined:

4
S'Bit_Order
               Denotes the bit ordering for the type of S. The value of
               this attribute is of type System.Bit_Order.  Bit_Order
               may be specified for specific record types via an
               attribute_definition_clause; the expression of such a
               clause shall be static.

4.a/3
          Aspect Description for Bit_Order: Order of bit numbering in a
          record_representation_clause.

5
If Word_Size = Storage_Unit, the default bit ordering is implementation
defined.  If Word_Size > Storage_Unit, the default bit ordering is the
same as the ordering of storage elements in a word, when interpreted as
an integer.  

5.a
          Implementation defined: If Word_Size = Storage_Unit, the
          default bit ordering.

5.b
          Ramification: Consider machines whose Word_Size = 32, and
          whose Storage_Unit = 8.  Assume the default bit ordering
          applies.  On a machine with big-endian addresses, the most
          significant storage element of an integer is at the address of
          the integer.  Therefore, bit zero of a storage element is the
          most significant bit.  On a machine with little-endian
          addresses, the least significant storage element of an integer
          is at the address of the integer.  Therefore, bit zero of a
          storage element is the least significant bit.

6
The storage place attributes of a component of a type are interpreted
according to the bit ordering of the type.

6.a
          Ramification: This implies that the interpretation of the
          position, first_bit, and last_bit of a component_clause of a
          record_representation_clause obey the bit ordering given in a
          representation item.

                        _Implementation Advice_

7
The recommended level of support for the nondefault bit ordering is:

8/2
   * {<AI95-00133-01AI95-00133-01>} The implementation should support
     the nondefault bit ordering in addition to the default bit
     ordering.

8.a/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00133-01AI95-00133-01>} The
          implementation should support both bit orderings.
          Implementations are required to support storage positions that
          cross storage element boundaries when Word_Size > Storage_Unit
          but the definition of the storage place attributes for the
          nondefault bit order ensures that such storage positions will
          not be split into two or three pieces.  Thus, there is no
          significant implementation burden to supporting the nondefault
          bit order, given that the set of machine scalars is
          implementation-defined.

8.b/2
          Implementation Advice: The recommended level of support for
          the nondefault bit ordering should be followed.

     NOTES

9/2
     16  {<AI95-00133-01AI95-00133-01>} Bit_Order clauses make it
     possible to write record_representation_clauses that can be ported
     between machines having different bit ordering.  They do not
     guarantee transparent exchange of data between such machines.

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

9.a
          The Bit_Order attribute is new to Ada 95.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

9.b/2
          {<AI95-00133-01AI95-00133-01>} We now suggest that all
          implementations support the nondefault bit order.

13.6 Change of Representation
=============================

1/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} [ A type_conversion (see *note 4.6::) can be
used to convert between two different representations of the same array
or record.  To convert an array from one representation to another, two
array types need to be declared with matching component subtypes, and
convertible index types.  If one type has Pack specified and the other
does not, then explicit conversion can be used to pack or unpack an
array.

2
To convert a record from one representation to another, two record types
with a common ancestor type need to be declared, with no inherited
subprograms.  Distinct representations can then be specified for the
record types, and explicit conversion between the types can be used to
effect a change in representation.]

2.a
          Ramification: This technique does not work if the first type
          is an untagged type with user-defined primitive subprograms.
          It does not work at all for tagged types.

                              _Examples_

Name is an enumeration subtype.  Values of type Name are the names of
alternative machine configurations handled by the implementation.
System_Name represents the current machine configuration.

20
The named numbers Fine_Delta and Tick are of the type <universal_real>;
the others are of the type <universal_integer>.

21
The meanings of the named numbers are:

22
[ Min_Int
               The smallest (most negative) value allowed for the
               expressions of a signed_integer_type_definition (*note
               3.5.4: S0042.).

23
Max_Int
               The largest (most positive) value allowed for the
               expressions of a signed_integer_type_definition (*note
               3.5.4: S0042.).

24
Max_Binary_Modulus
               A power of two such that it, and all lesser positive
               powers of two, are allowed as the modulus of a
               modular_type_definition.

25
Max_Nonbinary_Modulus
               A value such that it, and all lesser positive integers,
               are allowed as the modulus of a modular_type_definition.

25.a
          Ramification: There is no requirement that
          Max_Nonbinary_Modulus be less than or equal to
          Max_Binary_Modulus, although that's what makes most sense.  On
          a typical 32-bit machine, for example, Max_Binary_Modulus will
          be 2**32 and Max_Nonbinary_Modulus will be 2**31, because
          supporting nonbinary moduli in above 2**31 causes
          implementation difficulties.

26
Max_Base_Digits
               The largest value allowed for the requested decimal
               precision in a floating_point_definition (*note 3.5.7:
               S0045.).

27
Max_Digits
               The largest value allowed for the requested decimal
               precision in a floating_point_definition (*note 3.5.7:
               S0045.) that has no real_range_specification (*note
               3.5.7: S0046.).  Max_Digits is less than or equal to
               Max_Base_Digits.

28
Max_Mantissa
               The largest possible number of binary digits in the
               mantissa of machine numbers of a user-defined ordinary
               fixed point type.  (The mantissa is defined in *note
               Annex G::.)

29
Fine_Delta
               The smallest delta allowed in an
               ordinary_fixed_point_definition that has the
               real_range_specification (*note 3.5.7: S0046.) range -1.0
               ..  1.0.  ]

30
Tick
               A period in seconds approximating the real time interval
               during which the value of Calendar.Clock remains
               constant.

30.a
          Ramification: There is no required relationship between
          System.Tick and Duration'Small, other than the one described
          here.

30.b
          The inaccuracy of the delay_statement has no relation to Tick.
          In particular, it is possible that the clock used for the
          delay_statement is less accurate than Calendar.Clock.

30.c
          We considered making Tick a run-time-determined quantity, to
          allow for easier configurability.  However, this would not be
          upward compatible, and the desired configurability can be
          achieved using functionality defined in *note Annex D::,
          "*note Annex D:: Real-Time Systems".

31
Storage_Unit
               The number of bits per storage element.

32
Word_Size
               The number of bits per word.

33
Memory_Size
               An implementation-defined value [that is intended to
               reflect the memory size of the configuration in storage
               elements.]

33.a
          Discussion: It is unspecified whether this refers to the size
          of the address space, the amount of physical memory on the
          machine, or perhaps some other interpretation of "memory
          size."  In any case, the value has to be given by a static
          expression, even though the amount of memory on many modern
          machines is a dynamic quantity in several ways.  Thus,
          Memory_Size is not very useful.

34/2
{<AI95-00161-01AI95-00161-01>} Address is a definite, nonlimited type
with preelaborable initialization (see *note 10.2.1::).  Address
represents machine addresses capable of addressing individual storage
elements.  Null_Address is an address that is distinct from the address
of any object or program unit.  

34.a
          Ramification: The implementation has to ensure that there is
          at least one address that nothing will be allocated to;
          Null_Address will be one such address.

34.b
          Ramification: Address is the type of the result of the
          attribute Address.

34.c
          Reason: Address is required to be nonlimited and definite
          because it is important to be able to assign addresses, and to
          declare uninitialized address variables.

34.d/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00161-01AI95-00161-01>} If System.Address
          is defined as a private type (as suggested below), it might be
          necessary to add a pragma Preelaborable_Initialization to the
          specification of System in order that Address have
          preelaborable initialization as required.

35/2
{<AI95-00221-01AI95-00221-01>} Default_Bit_Order shall be a static
constant.  See *note 13.5.3:: for an explanation of Bit_Order and
Default_Bit_Order.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

36/2
{<AI95-00362-01AI95-00362-01>} An implementation may add additional
implementation-defined declarations to package System and its children.
[However, it is usually better for the implementation to provide
additional functionality via implementation-defined children of System.]

36.a
          Ramification: The declarations in package System and its
          children can be implicit.  For example, since Address is not
          limited, the predefined "=" and "/=" operations are probably
          sufficient.  However, the implementation is not <required> to
          use the predefined "=".

                        _Implementation Advice_

37
Address should be a private type.

37.a
          Reason: This promotes uniformity by avoiding having
          implementation-defined predefined operations for the type.  We
          don't require it, because implementations may want to stick
          with what they have.

37.a.1/2
          Implementation Advice: Type System.Address should be a private
          type.

37.b
          Implementation Note: It is not necessary for Address to be
          able to point at individual bits within a storage element.
          Nor is it necessary for it to be able to point at machine
          registers.  It is intended as a memory address that matches
          the hardware's notion of an address.

37.c
          The representation of the null value of a general access type
          should be the same as that of Null_Address; instantiations of
          Unchecked_Conversion should work accordingly.  If the
          implementation supports interfaces to other languages, the
          representation of the null value of a general access type
          should be the same as in those other languages, if
          appropriate.

37.d
          Note that the children of the Interfaces package will
          generally provide foreign-language-specific null values where
          appropriate.  See UI-0065 regarding Null_Address.

     NOTES

38
     17  There are also some language-defined child packages of System
     defined elsewhere.

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

38.a.1/1
          The declarations Max_Binary_Modulus, Max_Nonbinary_Modulus,
          Max_Base_Digits, Null_Address, Word_Size, Bit_Order,
          Default_Bit_Order, Any_Priority, Interrupt_Priority, and
          Default_Priority are added to System in Ada 95.  The presence
          of ordering operators for type Address is also guaranteed (the
          existence of these depends on the definition of Address in an
          Ada 83 implementation).  We do not list these as
          incompatibilities, as the contents of System can vary between
          implementations anyway; thus a program that depends on the
          contents of System (by using use System; for example) is
          already at risk of being incompatible when moved between Ada
          implementations.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

38.a
          Much of the content of System is standardized, to provide more
          uniformity across implementations.  Implementations can still
          add their own declarations to System, but are encouraged to do
          so via children of System.

38.b
          Some of the named numbers are defined more explicitly in terms
          of the standard numeric types.

38.c
          The pragmas System_Name, Storage_Unit, and Memory_Size are no
          longer defined by the language.  However, the corresponding
          declarations in package System still exist.  Existing
          implementations may continue to support the three pragmas as
          implementation-defined pragmas, if they so desire.

38.d
          Priority semantics, including subtype Priority, have been
          moved to the Real Time Annex.

                        _Extensions to Ada 95_

38.e/2
          {<AI95-00161-01AI95-00161-01>} Amendment Correction: Type
          Address is defined to have preelaborable initialization, so
          that it can be used without restriction in preelaborated
          units.  (If Address is defined to be a private type, as
          suggested by the Implementation Advice, in Ada 95 it cannot be
          used in some contexts in a preelaborated units.  This is an
          unnecessary portability issue.)

38.f/2
          {<AI95-00221-01AI95-00221-01>} Amendment Correction:
          Default_Bit_Order is now a static constant.

38.g/2
          {<AI95-00362-01AI95-00362-01>} Package System is now Pure, so
          it can be portably used in more places.  (Ada 95 allowed it to
          be Pure, but did not require that.)

13.7.1 The Package System.Storage_Elements
------------------------------------------

                          _Static Semantics_

1
The following language-defined library package exists:

2/2
     {<AI95-00362-01AI95-00362-01>} 
     package System.Storage_Elements is
        pragma Pure(Storage_Elements);

3
        type Storage_Offset is range <implementation-defined>;

4
        subtype Storage_Count is Storage_Offset range 0..Storage_Offset'Last;

5
        type Storage_Element is mod <implementation-defined>;
        for Storage_Element'Size use Storage_Unit;
        type Storage_Array is array
          (Storage_Offset range <>) of aliased Storage_Element;
        for Storage_Array'Component_Size use Storage_Unit;

6
        --< Address Arithmetic:>

7/3
     {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>}    function "+"(Left : Address; Right : Storage_Offset) return Address
           with Convention => Intrinsic;
        function "+"(Left : Storage_Offset; Right : Address) return Address
           with Convention => Intrinsic;
        function "-"(Left : Address; Right : Storage_Offset) return Address
           with Convention => Intrinsic;
        function "-"(Left, Right : Address) return Storage_Offset
           with Convention => Intrinsic;

8/3
     {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>}    function "mod"(Left : Address; Right : Storage_Offset)
           return Storage_Offset
              with Convention => Intrinsic;

9
        --< Conversion to/from integers:>

10/3
     {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>}    type Integer_Address is <implementation-defined>;
        function To_Address(Value : Integer_Address) return Address
           with Convention => Intrinsic;
        function To_Integer(Value : Address) return Integer_Address
           with Convention => Intrinsic;

11/3
     {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} end System.Storage_Elements;

11.a/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} The Convention aspects
          imply that the attribute Access is not allowed for those
          operations.

11.b
          The mod function is needed so that the definition of Alignment
          makes sense.

11.c/2
          Implementation defined: The range of
          Storage_Elements.Storage_Offset, the modulus of
          Storage_Elements.Storage_Element, and the declaration of
          Storage_Elements.Integer_Address..

12
Storage_Element represents a storage element.  Storage_Offset represents
an offset in storage elements.  Storage_Count represents a number of
storage elements.  Storage_Array represents a contiguous sequence of
storage elements.

12.a
          Reason: The index subtype of Storage_Array is Storage_Offset
          because we wish to allow maximum flexibility.  Most
          Storage_Arrays will probably have a lower bound of 0 or 1, but
          other lower bounds, including negative ones, make sense in
          some situations.

12.b/2
          <This paragraph was deleted.>{<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>}

13
Integer_Address is a [(signed or modular)] integer subtype.  To_Address
and To_Integer convert back and forth between this type and Address.

                     _Implementation Requirements_

14
Storage_Offset'Last shall be greater than or equal to Integer'Last or
the largest possible storage offset, whichever is smaller.
Storage_Offset'First shall be <= (-Storage_Offset'Last).

<Paragraph 15 was deleted.>

                        _Implementation Advice_

16
Operations in System and its children should reflect the target
environment semantics as closely as is reasonable.  For example, on most
machines, it makes sense for address arithmetic to "wrap around."
Operations that do not make sense should raise Program_Error.

16.a.1/2
          Implementation Advice: Operations in System and its children
          should reflect the target environment; operations that do not
          make sense should raise Program_Error.

16.a
          Discussion: For example, on a segmented architecture, X < Y
          might raise Program_Error if X and Y do not point at the same
          segment (assuming segments are unordered).  Similarly, on a
          segmented architecture, the conversions between
          Integer_Address and Address might not make sense for some
          values, and so might raise Program_Error.

16.b
          Reason: We considered making Storage_Element a private type.
          However, it is better to declare it as a modular type in the
          visible part, since code that uses it is already low level,
          and might as well have access to the underlying
          representation.  We also considered allowing Storage_Element
          to be any integer type, signed integer or modular, but it is
          better to have uniformity across implementations in this
          regard, and viewing storage elements as unsigned seemed to
          make the most sense.

16.c
          Implementation Note: To_Address is intended for use in Address
          clauses.  Implementations should overload To_Address if
          appropriate.  For example, on a segmented architecture, it
          might make sense to have a record type representing a
          segment/offset pair, and have a To_Address conversion that
          converts from that record type to type Address.

                        _Extensions to Ada 95_

16.d/2
          {<AI95-00362-01AI95-00362-01>} Package System.Storage_Elements
          is now Pure, so it can be portably used in more places.  (Ada
          95 allowed it to be Pure, but did not require that.)

13.7.2 The Package System.Address_To_Access_Conversions
-------------------------------------------------------

                          _Static Semantics_

1
The following language-defined generic library package exists:

2

     generic
         type Object(<>) is limited private;
     package System.Address_To_Access_Conversions is
        pragma Preelaborate(Address_To_Access_Conversions);

3/3
     {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>}    type Object_Pointer is access all Object;
        function To_Pointer(Value : Address) return Object_Pointer
           with Convention => Intrinsic;
        function To_Address(Value : Object_Pointer) return Address
           with Convention => Intrinsic;

4/3
     {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} end System.Address_To_Access_Conversions;

5/2
{<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} The To_Pointer and To_Address subprograms
convert back and forth between values of types Object_Pointer and
Address.  To_Pointer(X'Address) is equal to X'Unchecked_Access for any X
that allows Unchecked_Access.  To_Pointer(Null_Address) returns null.
For other addresses, the behavior is unspecified.  To_Address(null)
returns Null_Address.  To_Address(Y), where Y /= null, returns
Y.all'Address.

5.a/3
          Discussion: {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>}
          {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} The programmer should ensure that
          the address passed to To_Pointer is either Null_Address, or
          the address of an object of type Object.  (If Object is not a
          by-reference type, the object ought to be aliased; recall that
          the Address attribute is not required to provide a useful
          result for other objects.)  Otherwise, the behavior of the
          program is unspecified; it might raise an exception or crash,
          for example.

5.b
          Reason: Unspecified is almost the same thing as erroneous;
          they both allow arbitrarily bad behavior.  We don't say
          erroneous here, because the implementation might allow the
          address passed to To_Pointer to point at some memory that just
          happens to "look like" an object of type Object.  That's not
          necessarily an error; it's just not portable.  However, if the
          actual type passed to Object is (for example) an array type,
          the programmer would need to be aware of any dope that the
          implementation expects to exist, when passing an address that
          did not come from the Address attribute of an object of type
          Object.

5.c
          One might wonder why To_Pointer and To_Address are any better
          than unchecked conversions.  The answer is that Address does
          not necessarily have the same representation as an access
          type.  For example, an access value might point at the bounds
          of an array when an address would point at the first element.
          Or an access value might be an offset in words from someplace,
          whereas an address might be an offset in bytes from the
          beginning of memory.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

6
An implementation may place restrictions on instantiations of
Address_To_Access_Conversions.

6.a
          Ramification: For example, if the hardware requires aligned
          loads and stores, then dereferencing an access value that is
          not properly aligned might raise an exception.

6.b
          For another example, if the implementation has chosen to use
          negative component offsets (from an access value), it might
          not be possible to preserve the semantics, since negative
          offsets from the Address are not allowed.  (The Address
          attribute always points at "the first of the storage
          elements....")  Note that while the implementation knows how
          to convert an access value into an address, it might not be
          able to do the reverse.  To avoid generic contract model
          violations, the restriction might have to be detected at run
          time in some cases.

13.8 Machine Code Insertions
============================

1
[ A machine code insertion can be achieved by a call to a subprogram
whose sequence_of_statements contains code_statements.]

                               _Syntax_

2
     code_statement ::= qualified_expression;

3
     A code_statement is only allowed in the
     handled_sequence_of_statements (*note 11.2: S0265.) of a
     subprogram_body (*note 6.3: S0177.).  If a subprogram_body (*note
     6.3: S0177.) contains any code_statement (*note 13.8: S0318.)s,
     then within this subprogram_body (*note 6.3: S0177.) the only
     allowed form of statement is a code_statement (*note 13.8: S0318.)
     (labeled or not), the only allowed declarative_item (*note 3.11:
     S0087.)s are use_clause (*note 8.4: S0196.)s, and no
     exception_handler (*note 11.2: S0266.) is allowed (comments and
     pragmas are allowed as usual).

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

4
The qualified_expression is expected to be of any type.

                           _Legality Rules_

5
The qualified_expression shall be of a type declared in package
System.Machine_Code.

5.a
          Ramification: This includes types declared in children of
          System.Machine_Code.

6
A code_statement shall appear only within the scope of a with_clause
that mentions package System.Machine_Code.

6.a
          Ramification: Note that this is not a note; without this rule,
          it would be possible to write machine code in compilation
          units which depend on System.Machine_Code only indirectly.

                          _Static Semantics_

7

The contents of the library package System.Machine_Code (if provided)
are implementation defined.  The meaning of code_statements is
implementation defined.  [Typically, each qualified_expression
represents a machine instruction or assembly directive.]

7.a
          Discussion: For example, an instruction might be a record with
          an Op_Code component and other components for the operands.

7.b
          Implementation defined: The contents of the visible part of
          package System.Machine_Code, and the meaning of
          code_statements.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

8
An implementation may place restrictions on code_statements.  An
implementation is not required to provide package System.Machine_Code.

     NOTES

9
     18  An implementation may provide implementation-defined pragmas
     specifying register conventions and calling conventions.

10/2
     19  {<AI95-00318-02AI95-00318-02>} Machine code functions are
     exempt from the rule that a return statement is required.  In fact,
     return statements are forbidden, since only code_statements are
     allowed.

10.a
          Discussion: The idea is that the author of a machine code
          subprogram knows the calling conventions, and refers to
          parameters and results accordingly.  The implementation should
          document where to put the result of a machine code function,
          for example, "Scalar results are returned in register 0."

11
     20  Intrinsic subprograms (see *note 6.3.1::, "*note 6.3.1::
     Conformance Rules") can also be used to achieve machine code
     insertions.  Interface to assembly language can be achieved using
     the features in *note Annex B::, "*note Annex B:: Interface to
     Other Languages".

                              _Examples_

12
<Example of a code statement:>

13/3
     {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} M : Mask;
     procedure Set_Mask
       with Inline;

14
     procedure Set_Mask is
       use System.Machine_Code; --< assume "with System.Machine_Code;" appears somewhere above>
     begin
       SI_Format'(Code => SSM, B => M'Base_Reg, D => M'Disp);
       --<  Base_Reg and Disp are implementation-defined attributes>
     end Set_Mask;

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

14.a
          Machine code functions are allowed in Ada 95; in Ada 83, only
          procedures were allowed.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

14.b
          The syntax for code_statement is changed to say
          "qualified_expression" instead of "subtype_mark'
          record_aggregate".  Requiring the type of each instruction to
          be a record type is overspecification.

13.9 Unchecked Type Conversions
===============================

1
[ An unchecked type conversion can be achieved by a call to an instance
of the generic function Unchecked_Conversion.]

                          _Static Semantics_

2
The following language-defined generic library function exists:

3/3
     {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} generic
        type Source(<>) is limited private;
        type Target(<>) is limited private;

     function Ada.Unchecked_Conversion(S : Source) return Target
        with Convention => Intrinsic;
     pragma Pure(Ada.Unchecked_Conversion);

3.a/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} The aspect Convention
          implies that the attribute Access is not allowed for instances
          of Unchecked_Conversion.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

4
The size of the formal parameter S in an instance of
Unchecked_Conversion is that of its subtype.  [This is the actual
subtype passed to Source, except when the actual is an unconstrained
composite subtype, in which case the subtype is constrained by the
bounds or discriminants of the value of the actual expression passed to
S.]

5
If all of the following are true, the effect of an unchecked conversion
is to return the value of an object of the target subtype whose
representation is the same as that of the source object S:

6
   * S'Size = Target'Size.

6.a
          Ramification: Note that there is no requirement that the Sizes
          be known at compile time.

7/3
   * {<AI05-0078-1AI05-0078-1>} S'Alignment is a multiple of
     Target'Alignment or Target'Alignment is zero.

8
   * The target subtype is not an unconstrained composite subtype.

9
   * S and the target subtype both have a contiguous representation.

10
   * The representation of S is a representation of an object of the
     target subtype.

{<AI95-00426-01AI95-00426-01>} Otherwise, if the result type is scalar,
the result of the function is implementation defined, and can have an
invalid representation (see *note 13.9.1::).  If the result type is
nonscalar, the effect is implementation defined; in particular, the
result can be abnormal (see *note 13.9.1::).

11.a.1/2
          Implementation defined: The result of unchecked conversion for
          instances with scalar result types whose result is not defined
          by the language.

11.a/2
          Implementation defined: The effect of unchecked conversion for
          instances with nonscalar result types whose effect is not
          defined by the language.

11.a.1/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00426-01AI95-00426-01>} Note the difference
          between these sentences; the first only says that the bits
          returned are implementation defined, while the latter allows
          any effect.  The difference is because scalar objects should
          never be abnormal unless their assignment was disrupted or if
          they are a subcomponent of an abnormal composite object.
          Neither exception applies to instances of
          Unchecked_Conversion.

11.a.2/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00426-01AI95-00426-01>} Whenever
          unchecked conversions are used, it is the programmer's
          responsibility to ensure that these conversions maintain the
          properties that are guaranteed by the language for objects of
          the target type.  For nonscalar types, this requires the user
          to understand the underlying run-time model of the
          implementation.  The execution of a program that violates
          these properties by means of unchecked conversions returning a
          nonscalar type is erroneous.  Properties of scalar types can
          be checked by using the Valid attribute (see *note 13.9.2::);
          programs can avoid violating properties of the type (and
          erroneous execution) by careful use of this attribute.

11.b
          An instance of Unchecked_Conversion can be applied to an
          object of a private type, assuming the implementation allows
          it.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

12
An implementation may return the result of an unchecked conversion by
reference, if the Source type is not a by-copy type.  [In this case, the
result of the unchecked conversion represents simply a different
(read-only) view of the operand of the conversion.]

12.a
          Ramification: In other words, the result object of a call on
          an instance of Unchecked_Conversion can occupy the same
          storage as the formal parameter S.

13
An implementation may place restrictions on Unchecked_Conversion.

13.a
          Ramification: For example, an instantiation of
          Unchecked_Conversion for types for which unchecked conversion
          doesn't make sense may be disallowed.

                        _Implementation Advice_

14/2
{<AI95-00051-02AI95-00051-02>} Since the Size of an array object
generally does not include its bounds, the bounds should not be part of
the converted data.

14.a.1/2
          Implementation Advice: Since the Size of an array object
          generally does not include its bounds, the bounds should not
          be part of the converted data in an instance of
          Unchecked_Conversion.

14.a
          Ramification: On the other hand, we have no advice to offer
          about discriminants and tag fields.

15
The implementation should not generate unnecessary run-time checks to
ensure that the representation of S is a representation of the target
type.  It should take advantage of the permission to return by reference
when possible.  Restrictions on unchecked conversions should be avoided
unless required by the target environment.

15.a.1/2
          Implementation Advice: There should not be unnecessary
          run-time checks on the result of an Unchecked_Conversion; the
          result should be returned by reference when possible.
          Restrictions on Unchecked_Conversions should be avoided.

15.a
          Implementation Note: As an example of an unnecessary run-time
          check, consider a record type with gaps between components.
          The compiler might assume that such gaps are always zero bits.
          If a value is produced that does not obey that assumption,
          then the program might misbehave.  The implementation should
          not generate extra code to check for zero bits (except,
          perhaps, in a special error-checking mode).

16
The recommended level of support for unchecked conversions is:

17/3
   * {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} Unchecked conversions should be
     supported and should be reversible in the cases where this
     subclause defines the result.  To enable meaningful use of
     unchecked conversion, a contiguous representation should be used
     for elementary subtypes, for statically constrained array subtypes
     whose component subtype is one of the subtypes described in this
     paragraph, and for record subtypes without discriminants whose
     component subtypes are described in this paragraph.

17.a/2
          Implementation Advice: The recommended level of support for
          Unchecked_Conversion should be followed.

17.b/2
          {<AI95-00051-02AI95-00051-02>} The implementation advice about
          the size of array objects was moved to 13.3 so that all of the
          advice about Size is in one place.

17.c/2
          {<AI95-00426-01AI95-00426-01>} Clarified that the result of
          Unchecked_Conversion for scalar types can be invalid, but not
          abnormal.

17.d/3

13.9.1 Data Validity
--------------------

1
Certain actions that can potentially lead to erroneous execution are not
directly erroneous, but instead can cause objects to become <abnormal>.
Subsequent uses of abnormal objects can be erroneous.

2
A scalar object can have an <invalid representation>, which means that
the object's representation does not represent any value of the object's
subtype.  The primary cause of invalid representations is uninitialized
variables.

3
Abnormal objects and invalid representations are explained in this
subclause.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

4
When an object is first created, and any explicit or default
initializations have been performed, the object and all of its parts are
in the <normal> state.  Subsequent operations generally leave them
normal.  However, an object or part of an object can become <abnormal>
in the following ways:

5
   * An assignment to the object is disrupted due to an abort (see *note
     9.8::) or due to the failure of a language-defined check (see *note
     11.6::).

6/2
   * {<AI95-00426-01AI95-00426-01>} The object is not scalar, and is
     passed to an in out or out parameter of an imported procedure, the
     Read procedure of an instance of Sequential_IO, Direct_IO, or
     Storage_IO, or the stream attribute T'Read, if after return from
     the procedure the representation of the parameter does not
     represent a value of the parameter's subtype.

6.1/2
   * {<AI95-00426-01AI95-00426-01>} The object is the return object of a
     function call of a nonscalar type, and the function is an imported
     function, an instance of Unchecked_Conversion, or the stream
     attribute T'Input, if after return from the function the
     representation of the return object does not represent a value of
     the function's subtype.

6.a/2
          Discussion: We explicitly list the routines involved in order
          to avoid future arguments.  All possibilities are listed.

6.b/2
          We did not include Stream_IO.Read in the list above.  A
          Stream_Element should include all possible bit patterns, and
          thus it cannot be invalid.  Therefore, the parameter will
          always represent a value of its subtype.  By omitting this
          routine, we make it possible to write arbitrary I/O operations
          without any possibility of abnormal objects.

6.2/2
{<AI95-00426-01AI95-00426-01>} [For an imported object, it is the
programmer's responsibility to ensure that the object remains in a
normal state.]

6.c/2
          Proof: This follows (and echos) the standard rule of
          interfacing; the programmer must ensure that Ada semantics are
          followed (see *note B.1::).

7
Whether or not an object actually becomes abnormal in these cases is not
specified.  An abnormal object becomes normal again upon successful
completion of an assignment to the object as a whole.

                         _Erroneous Execution_

8
It is erroneous to evaluate a primary that is a name denoting an
abnormal object, or to evaluate a prefix that denotes an abnormal
object.

8.a/2
          <This paragraph was deleted.>{<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>}

8.b
          Ramification: The in out or out parameter case does not apply
          to scalars; bad scalars are merely invalid representations,
          rather than abnormal, in this case.

8.c/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} The reason we allow
          access objects, and objects containing subcomponents of an
          access type, to become abnormal is because the correctness of
          an access value cannot necessarily be determined merely by
          looking at the bits of the object.  The reason we allow scalar
          objects to become abnormal is that we wish to allow the
          compiler to optimize assuming that the value of a scalar
          object belongs to the object's subtype, if the compiler can
          prove that the object is initialized with a value that belongs
          to the subtype.  The reason we allow composite objects to
          become abnormal is that such object might be represented with
          implicit levels of indirection; if those are corrupted, then
          even assigning into a component of the object, or simply
          asking for its Address, might have an unpredictable effect.
          The same is true if the discriminants have been destroyed.

                      _Bounded (Run-Time) Errors_

9
If the representation of a scalar object does not represent a value of
the object's subtype (perhaps because the object was not initialized),
the object is said to have an <invalid representation>.  It is a bounded
error to evaluate the value of such an object.  If the error is
detected, either Constraint_Error or Program_Error is raised.
Otherwise, execution continues using the invalid representation.  The
rules of the language outside this subclause assume that all objects
have valid representations.  The semantics of operations on invalid
representations are as follows:

9.a
          Discussion: The AARM is more explicit about what happens when
          the value of the case expression is an invalid representation.

9.b/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00426-01AI95-00426-01>} This includes the
          result object of functions, including the result of
          Unchecked_Conversion, T'Input, and imported functions.

10
   * If the representation of the object represents a value of the
     object's type, the value of the type is used.

11
   * If the representation of the object does not represent a value of
     the object's type, the semantics of operations on such
     representations is implementation-defined, but does not by itself
     lead to erroneous or unpredictable execution, or to other objects
     becoming abnormal.

11.a/2
          Implementation Note: {<AI95-00426-01AI95-00426-01>} This means
          that the implementation must take care not to use an invalid
          representation in a way that might cause erroneous execution.
          For instance, the exception mandated for case_statements must
          be raised.  Array indexing must not cause memory outside of
          the array to be written (and usually, not read either).  These
          cases and similar cases may require explicit checks by the
          implementation.

                         _Erroneous Execution_

12/3
{<AI95-00167-01AI95-00167-01>} {<AI05-0279-1AI05-0279-1>} A call to an
imported function or an instance of Unchecked_Conversion is erroneous if
the result is scalar, the result object has an invalid representation,
and the result is used other than as the expression of an
assignment_statement or an object_declaration, as the <object_>name of
an object_renaming_declaration, or as the prefix of a Valid attribute.
If such a result object is used as the source of an assignment, and the
assigned value is an invalid representation for the target of the
assignment, then any use of the target object prior to a further
assignment to the target object, other than as the prefix of a Valid
attribute reference, is erroneous.

12.a/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00167-01AI95-00167-01>} In a typical
          implementation, every bit pattern that fits in an object of a
          signed integer subtype will represent a value of the type, if
          not of the subtype.  However, for an enumeration or floating
          point type, as well as some modular types, there are typically
          bit patterns that do not represent any value of the type.  In
          such cases, the implementation ought to define the semantics
          of operations on the invalid representations in the obvious
          manner (assuming the bounded error is not detected): a given
          representation should be equal to itself, a representation
          that is in between the internal codes of two enumeration
          literals should behave accordingly when passed to comparison
          operators and membership tests, etc.  We considered
          <requiring> such sensible behavior, but it resulted in too
          much arcane verbiage, and since implementations have little
          incentive to behave irrationally, such verbiage is not
          important to have.

12.b/2
          {<AI95-00167-01AI95-00167-01>} If a stand-alone scalar object
          is initialized to a an in-range value, then the implementation
          can take advantage of the fact that the use of any
          out-of-range value has to be erroneous.  Such an out-of-range
          value can be produced only by things like unchecked
          conversion, imported functions, and abnormal values caused by
          disruption of an assignment due to abort or to failure of a
          language-defined check.  This depends on out-of-range values
          being checked before assignment (that is, checks are not
          optimized away unless they are proven redundant).

12.c
          Consider the following example:

12.d/2
               {<AI95-00167-01AI95-00167-01>} type My_Int is range 0..99;
               function Safe_Convert is new Unchecked_Conversion(My_Int, Integer);
               function Unsafe_Convert is new Unchecked_Conversion(My_Int, Positive);
               X : Positive := Safe_Convert(0); --< Raises Constraint_Error.>
               Y : Positive := Unsafe_Convert(0); --< Bounded Error, may be invalid.>
               B : Boolean  := Y'Valid; --< OK, B = False.>
               Z : Positive := Y+1; --< Erroneous to use Y.>

12.e/2
          {<AI95-00167-01AI95-00167-01>} {<AI95-00426-01AI95-00426-01>}
          The call to Unsafe_Convert is a bounded error, which might
          raise Constraint_Error, Program_Error, or return an invalid
          value.  Moreover, if an exception is not raised, most uses of
          that invalid value (including the use of Y) cause erroneous
          execution.  The call to Safe_Convert is not erroneous.  The
          result object is an object of subtype Integer containing the
          value 0.  The assignment to X is required to do a constraint
          check; the fact that the conversion is unchecked does not
          obviate the need for subsequent checks required by the
          language rules.

12.e.1/2
          {<AI95-00167-01AI95-00167-01>} {<AI95-00426-01AI95-00426-01>}
          The reason for delaying erroneous execution until the object
          is used is so that the invalid representation can be tested
          for validity using the Valid attribute (see *note 13.9.2::)
          without causing execution to become erroneous.  Note that this
          delay does not imply an exception will not be raised; an
          implementation could treat both conversions in the example in
          the same way and raise Constraint_Error.

12.e.2/3
          {<AI05-0279-1AI05-0279-1>} The rules are defined in terms of
          the result object, and thus the name used to reference that
          object is irrelevant.  That is why we don't need any special
          rules to describe what happens when the function result is
          renamed.

12.f
          Implementation Note: If an implementation wants to have a
          "friendly" mode, it might always assign an uninitialized
          scalar a default initial value that is outside the object's
          subtype (if there is one), and check for this value on some or
          all reads of the object, so as to help detect references to
          uninitialized scalars.  Alternatively, an implementation might
          want to provide an "unsafe" mode where it presumed even
          uninitialized scalars were always within their subtype.

12.g
          Ramification: The above rules imply that it is a bounded error
          to apply a predefined operator to an object with a scalar
          subcomponent having an invalid representation, since this
          implies reading the value of each subcomponent.  Either
          Program_Error or Constraint_Error is raised, or some result is
          produced, which if composite, might have a corresponding
          scalar subcomponent still with an invalid representation.

12.h
          Note that it is not an error to assign, convert, or pass as a
          parameter a composite object with an uninitialized scalar
          subcomponent.  In the other hand, it is a (bounded) error to
          apply a predefined operator such as =, <, and xor to a
          composite operand with an invalid scalar subcomponent.

13/3
{<AI05-0054-2AI05-0054-2>} The dereference of an access value is
erroneous if it does not designate an object of an appropriate type or a
subprogram with an appropriate profile, if it designates a nonexistent
object, or if it is an access-to-variable value that designates a
constant object and it did not originate from an attribute_reference
applied to an aliased variable view of a controlled or immutably limited
object.  [An access value whose dereference is erroneous can exist, for
example, because of Unchecked_Deallocation, Unchecked_Access, or
Unchecked_Conversion.]

13.a
          Ramification: The above mentioned Unchecked_...  features are
          not the only causes of such access values.  For example,
          interfacing to other languages can also cause the problem.

13.b/3
          {<AI05-0054-2AI05-0054-2>} We permit the use of
          access-to-variable values that designate constant objects so
          long as they originate from an aliased variable view of a
          controlled or immutably limited constant, such as during the
          initialization of a constant (both via the "current instance"
          and during a call to Initialize) or during an assignment
          (during a call to Adjust).

     NOTES

14
     21  Objects can become abnormal due to other kinds of actions that
     directly update the object's representation; such actions are
     generally considered directly erroneous, however.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

14.a
          In order to reduce the amount of erroneousness, we separate
          the concept of an undefined value into objects with invalid
          representation (scalars only) and abnormal objects.

14.b
          Reading an object with an invalid representation is a bounded
          error rather than erroneous; reading an abnormal object is
          still erroneous.  In fact, the only safe thing to do to an
          abnormal object is to assign to the object as a whole.

14.c/2
          {<AI95-00167-01AI95-00167-01>} The description of erroneous
          execution for Unchecked_Conversion and imported objects was
          tightened up so that using the Valid attribute to test such a
          value is not erroneous.

14.d/2
          {<AI95-00426-01AI95-00426-01>} Clarified the definition of
          objects that can become abnormal; made sure that all of the
          possibilities are included.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

14.e/3
          {<AI05-0054-2AI05-0054-2>} Correction: Common programming
          techniques such as squirreling away an access to a controlled
          object during initialization and using a self-referencing
          discriminant (the so-called "Rosen trick") no longer are
          immediately erroneous if the object is declared constant, so
          these techniques can be used portably and safely.
          Practically, these techniques already worked as compilers did
          not take much advantage of this rule, so the impact of this
          change will be slight.

14.f/3
          {<AI05-0279-1AI05-0279-1>} Correction: The description of
          erroneous execution for Unchecked_Conversion and imported
          objects was adjusted to clarify that renaming such an object
          is not, by itself, erroneous.

13.9.2 The Valid Attribute
--------------------------

1
The Valid attribute can be used to check the validity of data produced
by unchecked conversion, input, interface to foreign languages, and the
like.

                          _Static Semantics_

2
For a prefix X that denotes a scalar object [(after any implicit
dereference)], the following attribute is defined:

X'Valid
               {<AI05-0153-3AI05-0153-3>} {<AI12-0071-1AI12-0071-1>}
               Yields True if and only if the object denoted by X is
               normal, has a valid representation, and then, if the
               preceding conditions hold, the value of X also satisfies
               the predicates of the nominal subtype of X. The value of
               this attribute is of the predefined type Boolean.

3.a
          Ramification: Having checked that X'Valid is True, it is safe
          to read the value of X without fear of erroneous execution
          caused by abnormality, or a bounded error caused by an invalid
          representation.  Such a read will produce a value in the
          subtype of X.

     NOTES

4
     22  Invalid data can be created in the following cases (not
     counting erroneous or unpredictable execution):

5
        * an uninitialized scalar object,

6
        * the result of an unchecked conversion,

7
        * input,

8
        * interface to another language (including machine code),

9
        * aborting an assignment,

10
        * disrupting an assignment due to the failure of a
          language-defined check (see *note 11.6::), and

11
        * use of an object whose Address has been specified.

12/4
     23  {<AI12-0071-1AI12-0071-1>} Determining whether X is normal and
     has a valid representation as part of the evaluation of X'Valid is
     not considered to include an evaluation of X; hence, it is not an
     error to check the validity of an object that is invalid or
     abnormal.  Determining whether X satisfies the predicates of its
     nominal subtype may include an evaluation of X, but only after it
     has been determined that X has a valid representation.

13/4
     {<AI12-0071-1AI12-0071-1>} If X is volatile, the evaluation of
     X'Valid is considered a read of X.

13.a/4
          Reason: Since an implementation is not allowed to add, remove,
          or reorder accesses to volatile objects, we have to define
          X'Valid as a read so that it is implementable for most
          subtypes as the value of the object is required.

14/2
     24  {<AI95-00426-01AI95-00426-01>} The Valid attribute may be used
     to check the result of calling an instance of Unchecked_Conversion
     (or any other operation that can return invalid values).  However,
     an exception handler should also be provided because
     implementations are permitted to raise Constraint_Error or
     Program_Error if they detect the use of an invalid representation
     (see *note 13.9.1::).

14.a
          Ramification: If X is of an enumeration type with a
          representation clause, then X'Valid checks that the value of X
          when viewed as an integer is one of the specified internal
          codes.

14.b
          Reason: Valid is defined only for scalar objects because the
          implementation and description burden would be too high for
          other types.  For example, given a typical run-time model, it
          is impossible to check the validity of an access value.  The
          same applies to composite types implemented with internal
          pointers.  One can check the validity of a composite object by
          checking the validity of each of its scalar subcomponents.
          The user should ensure that any composite types that need to
          be checked for validity are represented in a way that does not
          involve implementation-defined components, or gaps between
          components.  Furthermore, such types should not contain access
          subcomponents.

14.e/2
          {<AI95-00426-01AI95-00426-01>} Added a note explaining that
          handlers for Constraint_Error and Program_Error are needed in
          the general case of testing for validity.  (An implementation
          could document cases where these are not necessary, but there
          is no language requirement.)

14.f/3
          {<AI05-0153-3AI05-0153-3>} The validity check now also
          includes a check of the predicate aspects (see *note 3.2.4::),
          if any, of the subtype of the object.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2012_

14.g/4
          {<AI12-0071-1AI12-0071-1>} Corrigendum: Updated wording of the
          attributes X'Valid to use the new term "satisfies the
          predicates" (see *note 3.2.4::).  Also updated the notes to
          make sense when evaluating predicates and testing validity of
          volatile objects.

13.10 Unchecked Access Value Creation
=====================================

1
[The attribute Unchecked_Access is used to create access values in an
unsafe manner -- the programmer is responsible for preventing "dangling
references."]

                          _Static Semantics_

2
The following attribute is defined for a prefix X that denotes an
aliased view of an object:

3
X'Unchecked_Access
               All rules and semantics that apply to X'Access (see *note
               3.10.2::) apply also to X'Unchecked_Access, except that,
               for the purposes of accessibility rules and checks, it is
               as if X were declared immediately within a library
               package.  

3.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} We say "rules and
          semantics" here so that library-level accessibility applies to
          the value created by X'Unchecked_Access as well as to the
          checks needed for the attribute itself.  This means that any
          anonymous access values that inherit the accessibility of this
          attribute (such as access parameters) also act as if they have
          library-level accessibility.  We don't want the "real"
          accessibility of the created value re-emerging at a later
          point - that would create hard-to-understand bugs.

     NOTES

4
     25  This attribute is provided to support the situation where a
     local object is to be inserted into a global linked data structure,
     when the programmer knows that it will always be removed from the
     data structure prior to exiting the object's scope.  The Access
     attribute would be illegal in this case (see *note 3.10.2::, "*note
     3.10.2:: Operations of Access Types").

4.a
          Ramification: The expected type for X'Unchecked_Access is as
          for X'Access.

4.b
          If an attribute_reference with Unchecked_Access is used as the
          actual parameter for an access parameter, an
          Accessibility_Check can never fail on that access parameter.

5
     26  There is no Unchecked_Access attribute for subprograms.

5.a/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00254-01AI95-00254-01>} Such an attribute would
          allow unsafe "downward closures", where an access value
          designating a more nested subprogram is passed to a less
          nested subprogram.  (Anonymous access-to-subprogram parameters
          provide safe "downward closures".)  This requires some means
          of reconstructing the global environment for the more nested
          subprogram, so that it can do up-level references to objects.
          The two methods of implementing up-level references are
          displays and static links.  If unsafe downward closures were
          supported, each access-to-subprogram value would have to carry
          the static link or display with it.  We don't want to require
          the space and time overhead of requiring the extra information
          for all access-to-subprogram types, especially as including it
          would make interfacing to other languages (like C) harder.

5.b
          If desired, an instance of Unchecked_Conversion can be used to
          create an access value of a global access-to-subprogram type
          that designates a local subprogram.  The semantics of using
          such a value are not specified by the language.  In
          particular, it is not specified what happens if such
          subprograms make up-level references; even if the frame being
          referenced still exists, the up-level reference might go awry
          if the representation of a value of a global
          access-to-subprogram type doesn't include a static link.

13.11 Storage Management
========================

1
[ Each access-to-object type has an associated storage pool.  The
storage allocated by an allocator comes from the pool; instances of
Unchecked_Deallocation return storage to the pool.  Several access types
can share the same pool.]

2/2
{<AI95-00435-01AI95-00435-01>} [A storage pool is a variable of a type
in the class rooted at Root_Storage_Pool, which is an abstract limited
controlled type.  By default, the implementation chooses a <standard
storage pool> for each access-to-object type.  The user may define new
pool types, and may override the choice of pool for an access-to-object
type by specifying Storage_Pool for the type.]

2.a
          Ramification: By default, the implementation might choose to
          have a single global storage pool, which is used (by default)
          by all access types, which might mean that storage is
          reclaimed automatically only upon partition completion.
          Alternatively, it might choose to create a new pool at each
          accessibility level, which might mean that storage is
          reclaimed for an access type when leaving the appropriate
          scope.  Other schemes are possible.

2.a.1/3
          Glossary entry: Each access-to-object type has an associated
          storage pool object.  The storage for an object created by an
          allocator comes from the storage pool of the type of the
          allocator.  Some storage pools may be partitioned into
          subpools in order to support finer-grained storage management.

                           _Legality Rules_

3
If Storage_Pool is specified for a given access type, Storage_Size shall
not be specified for it.

3.a
          Reason: The Storage_Pool determines the Storage_Size; hence it
          would not make sense to specify both.  Note that this rule is
          simplified by the fact that the aspects in question cannot be
          specified for derived types, nor for nonfirst subtypes, so we
          don't have to worry about whether, say, Storage_Pool on a
          derived type overrides Storage_Size on the parent type.  For
          the same reason, "specified" means the same thing as "directly
          specified" here.

                          _Static Semantics_

4
The following language-defined library package exists:

5
     with Ada.Finalization;
     with System.Storage_Elements;

     package System.Storage_Pools is
         pragma Preelaborate(System.Storage_Pools);

6/2
     {<AI95-00161-01AI95-00161-01>}     type Root_Storage_Pool is
             abstract new Ada.Finalization.Limited_Controlled with private;
         pragma Preelaborable_Initialization(Root_Storage_Pool);

7
         procedure Allocate(
           Pool : in out Root_Storage_Pool;
           Storage_Address : out Address;
           Size_In_Storage_Elements : in Storage_Elements.Storage_Count;
           Alignment : in Storage_Elements.Storage_Count) is abstract;

8
         procedure Deallocate(
           Pool : in out Root_Storage_Pool;
           Storage_Address : in Address;
           Size_In_Storage_Elements : in Storage_Elements.Storage_Count;
           Alignment : in Storage_Elements.Storage_Count) is abstract;

9
         function Storage_Size(Pool : Root_Storage_Pool)
             return Storage_Elements.Storage_Count is abstract;

10
     private
        ... -- <not specified by the language>
     end System.Storage_Pools;

10.a
          Reason: The Alignment parameter is provided to Deallocate
          because some allocation strategies require it.  If it is not
          needed, it can be ignored.

11
A <storage pool type> (or <pool type>) is a descendant of
Root_Storage_Pool.  The <elements> of a storage pool are the objects
allocated in the pool by allocators.

11.a
          Discussion: In most cases, an element corresponds to a single
          memory block allocated by Allocate.  However, in some cases
          the implementation may choose to associate more than one
          memory block with a given pool element.

12/2
{<8652/00098652/0009>} {<AI95-00137-01AI95-00137-01>}
{<AI95-00435-01AI95-00435-01>} For every access-to-object subtype S, the
following representation attributes are defined:

13
S'Storage_Pool
               Denotes the storage pool of the type of S. The type of
               this attribute is Root_Storage_Pool'Class.

14
S'Storage_Size
               Yields the result of calling
               Storage_Size(S'Storage_Pool)[, which is intended to be a
               measure of the number of storage elements reserved for
               the pool.]  The type of this attribute is
               <universal_integer>.

14.a
          Ramification: Storage_Size is also defined for task subtypes
          and objects -- see *note 13.3::.

14.b
          Storage_Size is not a measure of how much un-allocated space
          is left in the pool.  That is, it includes both allocated and
          unallocated space.  Implementations and users may provide a
          Storage_Available function for their pools, if so desired.

15
Storage_Size or Storage_Pool may be specified for a nonderived
access-to-object type via an attribute_definition_clause (*note 13.3:
S0310.); the name in a Storage_Pool clause shall denote a variable.

15.a/3
          Aspect Description for Storage_Pool: Pool of memory from which
          new will allocate for a given access type.

15.b/3
          Aspect Description for Storage_Size (access): Sets memory size
          for allocations for an access type.

16/3
{<AI05-0107-1AI05-0107-1>} {<AI05-0111-3AI05-0111-3>}
{<AI05-0116-1AI05-0116-1>} An allocator of a type <T> that does not
support subpools allocates storage from <T>'s storage pool.  If the
storage pool is a user-defined object, then the storage is allocated by
calling Allocate as described below.  Allocators for types that support
subpools are described in *note 13.11.4::.

16.a
          Ramification: If the implementation chooses to represent the
          designated subtype in multiple pieces, one allocator
          evaluation might result in more than one call upon Allocate.
          In any case, allocators for the access type obtain all the
          required storage for an object of the designated type by
          calling the specified Allocate procedure.

          (the designated type of <T>) includes subcomponents of other
          access types, they will be allocated from the storage pools
          for those types, even if those allocators are executed as part
          of the allocator of <T> (as part of the initialization of the
          object).  For instance, an access-to-task type <TT> may
          allocate the data structures used to implement the task value
          from other storage pools.  (In particular, the task stack does
          not necessarily need to be allocated from the storage pool for
          <TT>.)

17
If Storage_Pool is not specified for a type defined by an
access_to_object_definition, then the implementation chooses a standard
storage pool for it in an implementation-defined manner.  In this case,
the exception Storage_Error is raised by an allocator if there is not
enough storage.  It is implementation defined whether or not the
implementation provides user-accessible names for the standard pool
type(s).

17.a/2
          <This paragraph was deleted.>

17.a.1/2
          Discussion: The manner of choosing a storage pool is covered
          by a Documentation Requirement below, so it is not summarized
          here.

17.b
          Implementation defined: Whether or not the implementation
          provides user-accessible names for the standard pool type(s).

17.c/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} An
          access-to-object type defined by a derived_type_definition
          inherits its pool from its parent type, so all
          access-to-object types in the same derivation class share the
          same pool.  Hence the "defined by an
          access_to_object_definition" wording above.

17.d
          There is no requirement that all storage pools be implemented
          using a contiguous block of memory (although each allocation
          returns a pointer to a contiguous block of memory).

18/4
{<AI12-0043-1AI12-0043-1>} If Storage_Size is specified for an access
type <T>, an implementation-defined pool <P> is used for the type.  The
Storage_Size of <P> is at least that requested, and the storage for <P>
is reclaimed when the master containing the declaration of the access
type is left.  If the implementation cannot satisfy the request,
Storage_Error is raised at the freezing point of type <T>.  The storage
pool <P> is used only for allocators returning type <T> or other access
types specified to use <T>'Storage_Pool.  Storage_Error is raised by an
allocator returning such a type if the storage space of <P> is exhausted
(additional memory is not allocated).

18.1/4
{<AI12-0043-1AI12-0043-1>} If neither Storage_Pool nor Storage_Size are
specified, then the meaning of Storage_Size is implementation defined.

18.a/2
          Implementation defined: The meaning of Storage_Size when
          neither the Storage_Size nor the Storage_Pool is specified for
          an access type.

18.b
          Ramification: The Storage_Size function and attribute will
          return the actual size, rather than the requested size.
          Comments about rounding up, zero, and negative on task
          Storage_Size apply here, as well.  See also AI83-00557,
          AI83-00558, and AI83-00608.

18.c
          The expression in a Storage_Size clause need not be static.

18.d
          The reclamation happens after the master is finalized.

18.e
          Implementation Note: For a pool allocated on the stack, normal
          stack cut-back can accomplish the reclamation.  For a
          library-level pool, normal partition termination actions can
          accomplish the reclamation.

19
If Storage_Pool is specified for an access type, then the specified pool
is used.

20
The effect of calling Allocate and Deallocate for a standard storage
pool directly (rather than implicitly via an allocator or an instance of
Unchecked_Deallocation) is unspecified.

20.a
          Ramification: For example, an allocator might put the pool
          element on a finalization list.  If the user directly
          Deallocates it, instead of calling an instance of
          Unchecked_Deallocation, then the implementation would probably
          try to finalize the object upon master completion, which would
          be bad news.  Therefore, the implementation should define such
          situations as erroneous.

                         _Erroneous Execution_

21
If Storage_Pool is specified for an access type, then if Allocate can
satisfy the request, it should allocate a contiguous block of memory,
and return the address of the first storage element in Storage_Address.
The block should contain Size_In_Storage_Elements storage elements, and
should be aligned according to Alignment.  The allocated storage should
not be used for any other purpose while the pool element remains in
existence.  If the request cannot be satisfied, then Allocate should
propagate an exception [(such as Storage_Error)].  If Allocate behaves
in any other manner, then the program execution is erroneous.

                     _Implementation Requirements_

21.1/3
{<AI05-0107-1AI05-0107-1>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} The Allocate
procedure of a user-defined storage pool object <P> may be called by the
implementation only to allocate storage for a type <T> whose pool is
<P>, only at the following points:

21.2/3
   * During the execution of an allocator of type <T>;

21.a/3
          Ramification: This includes during the evaluation of the
          initializing expression such as an aggregate; this is
          important if the initializing expression is built in place.
          We need to allow allocation to be deferred until the size of
          the object is known.

21.3/3
   * During the execution of a return statement for a function whose
     result is built-in-place in the result of an allocator of type <T>;

21.b/3
          Reason: We need this bullet as well as the preceding one in
          order that exceptions that propagate from such a call to
          Allocate can be handled within the return statement.  We don't
          want to require the generation of special handling code in
          this unusual case, as it would add overhead to most return
          statements of composite types.

21.4/3
   * During the execution of an assignment operation with a target of an
     allocated object of type <T> with a part that has an unconstrained
     discriminated subtype with defaults.

21.c/3
          Reason: We allow Allocate to be called during assignment of
          objects with mutable parts so that mutable objects can be
          implemented with reallocation on assignment.  (Unfortunately,
          the term "mutable" is only defined in the AARM, so we have to
          use the long-winded wording shown here.)

21.d/3
          Discussion: Of course, explicit calls to Allocate are also
          allowed and are not bound by any of the rules found here.

21.5/3
{<AI05-0107-1AI05-0107-1>} {<AI05-0116-1AI05-0116-1>}
{<AI05-0193-1AI05-0193-1>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>}
{<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>} For each of the calls of Allocate described
above, <P> (equivalent to <T>'Storage_Pool) is passed as the Pool
parameter.  The Size_In_Storage_Elements parameter indicates the number
of storage elements to be allocated, and is no more than
<D>'Max_Size_In_Storage_Elements, where <D> is the designated subtype of
<T>.  The Alignment parameter is a nonzero integral multiple of
<D>'Alignment if <D> is a specific type, and otherwise is a nonzero
integral multiple of the alignment of the specific type identified by
the tag of the object being created; it is unspecified if there is no
such value.  The Alignment parameter is no more than
<D>'Max_Alignment_For_Allocation.  The result returned in the
Storage_Address parameter is used as the address of the allocated
storage, which is a contiguous block of memory of
Size_In_Storage_Elements storage elements.  [Any exception propagated by
Allocate is propagated by the construct that contained the call.]

21.e/3
          Ramification: Note that the implementation does not turn other
          exceptions into Storage_Error.

21.f/3
          "Nonzero integral multiple" of an alignment includes the
          alignment value itself, of course.  The value is unspecified
          if the alignment of the specific type is zero.

21.6/3
{<AI05-0107-1AI05-0107-1>} The number of calls to Allocate needed to
implement an allocator for any particular type is unspecified.  The
number of calls to Deallocate needed to implement an instance of
Unchecked_Deallocation (see *note 13.11.2::) for any particular object
is the same as the number of Allocate calls for that object.

21.g/3
          Reason: This supports objects that are allocated in one or
          more parts.  The second sentence prevents extra or missing
          calls to Deallocate.

21.h/3
          To be honest: {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} The number of calls
          to Deallocate from all sources for an object always will be
          the same as the number of calls to Allocate from all sources
          for that object.  However, in unusual cases, not all of those
          Deallocate calls may be made by an instance of
          Unchecked_Deallocation.  Specifically, in the unusual case of
          assigning to an object of a mutable variant record type such
          that the variant changes, some of the Deallocate calls may be
          made by the assignment (as may some of the Allocate calls).

21.i/3
          Ramification: We do not define the relative order of multiple
          calls used to deallocate the same object -- that is, if the
          allocator allocated two pieces <x> and <y>, then an instance
          of Unchecked_Deallocation might deallocate <x> and then <y>,
          or it might deallocate <y> and then <x>.

21.7/3
{<AI05-0107-1AI05-0107-1>} The Deallocate procedure of a user-defined
storage pool object <P> may be called by the implementation to
deallocate storage for a type <T> whose pool is <P> only at the places
when an Allocate call is allowed for <P>, during the execution of an
instance of Unchecked_Deallocation for <T>, or as part of the
finalization of the collection of <T>.  For such a call of Deallocate,
<P> (equivalent to <T>'Storage_Pool) is passed as the Pool parameter.
The value of the Storage_Address parameter for a call to Deallocate is
the value returned in the Storage_Address parameter of the corresponding
successful call to Allocate.  The values of the Size_In_Storage_Elements
and Alignment parameters are the same values passed to the corresponding
Allocate call.  Any exception propagated by Deallocate is propagated by
the construct that contained the call.

21.j/3
          Reason: We allow Deallocate to be called anywhere that
          Allocate is, in order to allow the recovery of storage from
          failed allocations (that is, those that raise exceptions);
          from extended return statements that exit via a goto, exit, or
          locally handled exception; and from objects that are
          reallocated when they are assigned.  In each of these cases,
          we would have a storage leak if the implementation did not
          recover the storage (there is no way for the programmer to do
          it).  We do not require such recovery, however, as it could be
          a serious performance drag on these operations.

                     _Documentation Requirements_

22
An implementation shall document the set of values that a user-defined
Allocate procedure needs to accept for the Alignment parameter.  An
implementation shall document how the standard storage pool is chosen,
and how storage is allocated by standard storage pools.

22.a/2
          <This paragraph was deleted.>

22.b/2
          Documentation Requirement: The set of values that a
          user-defined Allocate procedure needs to accept for the
          Alignment parameter.  How the standard storage pool is chosen,
          and how storage is allocated by standard storage pools.

                        _Implementation Advice_

23
An implementation should document any cases in which it dynamically
allocates heap storage for a purpose other than the evaluation of an
allocator.

23.a.1/2
          Implementation Advice: Any cases in which heap storage is
          dynamically allocated other than as part of the evaluation of
          an allocator should be documented.

23.a
          Reason: This is "Implementation Advice" because the term "heap
          storage" is not formally definable; therefore, it is not
          testable whether the implementation obeys this advice.

24
A default (implementation-provided) storage pool for an
access-to-constant type should not have overhead to support deallocation
of individual objects.

24.a.1/2
          Implementation Advice: A default storage pool for an
          access-to-constant type should not have overhead to support
          deallocation of individual objects.

24.a
          Ramification: Unchecked_Deallocation is not defined for such
          types.  If the access-to-constant type is library-level, then
          no deallocation (other than at partition completion) will ever
          be necessary, so if the size needed by an allocator of the
          type is known at link-time, then the allocation should be
          performed statically.  If, in addition, the initial value of
          the designated object is known at compile time, the object can
          be allocated to read-only memory.

24.b
          Implementation Note: If the Storage_Size for an access type is
          specified, the storage pool should consist of a contiguous
          block of memory, possibly allocated on the stack.  The pool
          should contain approximately this number of storage elements.
          These storage elements should be reserved at the place of the
          Storage_Size clause, so that allocators cannot raise
          Storage_Error due to running out of pool space until the
          appropriate number of storage elements has been used up.  This
          approximate (possibly rounded-up) value should be used as a
          maximum; the implementation should not increase the size of
          the pool on the fly.  If the Storage_Size for an access type
          is specified as zero, then the pool should not take up any
          storage space, and any allocator for the type should raise
          Storage_Error.

24.c
          Ramification: Note that most of this is approximate, and so
          cannot be (portably) tested.  That's why we make it an
          Implementation Note.  There is no particular number of
          allocations that is guaranteed to succeed, and there is no
          particular number of allocations that is guaranteed to fail.

25/2
{<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} The storage pool used for an allocator of
an anonymous access type should be determined as follows:

25.1/2
   * {<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>} If
     the allocator is defining a coextension (see *note 3.10.2::) of an
     object being created by an outer allocator, then the storage pool
     used for the outer allocator should also be used for the
     coextension;

25.2/2
   * {<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} For other access discriminants and
     access parameters, the storage pool should be created at the point
     of the allocator, and be reclaimed when the allocated object
     becomes inaccessible;

25.3/3
   * {<AI05-0051-1AI05-0051-1>} If the allocator defines the result of a
     function with an access result, the storage pool is determined as
     though the allocator were in place of the call of the function.  If
     the call is the operand of a type conversion, the storage pool is
     that of the target access type of the conversion.  If the call is
     itself defining the result of a function with an access result,
     this rule is applied recursively;

25.4/2
   * {<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} Otherwise, a default storage pool
     should be created at the point where the anonymous access type is
     elaborated; such a storage pool need not support deallocation of
     individual objects.

25.a.1/2
          Implementation Advice: Usually, a storage pool for an access
          discriminant or access parameter should be created at the
          point of an allocator, and be reclaimed when the designated
          object becomes inaccessible.  For other anonymous access
          types, the pool should be created at the point where the type
          is elaborated and need not support deallocation of individual
          objects.

25.a/2
          Implementation Note: {<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} For access
          parameters and access discriminants, the "storage pool" for an
          anonymous access type would not normally exist as a separate
          entity.  Instead, the designated object of the allocator would
          be allocated, in the case of an access parameter, as a local
          aliased variable at the call site, and in the case of an
          access discriminant, contiguous with the object containing the
          discriminant.  This is similar to the way storage for
          aggregates is typically managed.

25.b/2
          {<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} For other sorts of anonymous
          access types, this implementation is not possible in general,
          as the accessibility of the anonymous access type is that of
          its declaration, while the allocator could be more nested.  In
          this case, a "real" storage pool is required.  Note, however,
          that this storage pool need not support (separate)
          deallocation, as it is not possible to instantiate
          Unchecked_Deallocation with an anonymous access type.  (If
          deallocation is needed, the object should be allocated for a
          named access type and converted.)  Thus, deallocation only
          need happen when the anonymous access type itself goes out of
          scope; this is similar to the case of an access-to-constant
          type.

     NOTES

26
     27  A user-defined storage pool type can be obtained by extending
     the Root_Storage_Pool type, and overriding the primitive
     subprograms Allocate, Deallocate, and Storage_Size.  A user-defined
     storage pool can then be obtained by declaring an object of the
     type extension.  The user can override Initialize and Finalize if
     there is any need for nontrivial initialization and finalization
     for a user-defined pool type.  For example, Finalize might reclaim
     blocks of storage that are allocated separately from the pool
     object itself.

27
     28  The writer of the user-defined allocation and deallocation
     procedures, and users of allocators for the associated access type,
     are responsible for dealing with any interactions with tasking.  In
     particular:

28
        * If the allocators are used in different tasks, they require
          mutual exclusion.

29
        * If they are used inside protected objects, they cannot block.

30
        * If they are used by interrupt handlers (see *note C.3::,
          "*note C.3:: Interrupt Support"), the mutual exclusion
          mechanism has to work properly in that context.

31
     29  The primitives Allocate, Deallocate, and Storage_Size are
     declared as abstract (see *note 3.9.3::), and therefore they have
     to be overridden when a new (nonabstract) storage pool type is
     declared.

31.a
          Ramification: Note that the Storage_Pool attribute denotes an
          object, rather than a value, which is somewhat unusual for
          attributes.

31.b
          The calls to Allocate, Deallocate, and Storage_Size are
          dispatching calls -- this follows from the fact that the
          actual parameter for Pool is T'Storage_Pool, which is of type
          Root_Storage_Pool'Class.  In many cases (including all cases
          in which Storage_Pool is not specified), the compiler can
          determine the tag statically.  However, it is possible to
          construct cases where it cannot.

31.c
          All access types in the same derivation class share the same
          pool, whether implementation defined or user defined.  This is
          necessary because we allow type conversions among them (even
          if they are pool-specific), and we want pool-specific access
          values to always designate an element of the right pool.

31.d
          Implementation Note: If an access type has a standard storage
          pool, then the implementation doesn't actually have to follow
          the pool interface described here, since this would be
          semantically invisible.  For example, the allocator could
          conceivably be implemented with inline code.

                              _Examples_

32
To associate an access type with a storage pool object, the user first
declares a pool object of some type derived from Root_Storage_Pool.
Then, the user defines its Storage_Pool attribute, as follows:

33
     Pool_Object : Some_Storage_Pool_Type;

34
     type T is access Designated;
     for T'Storage_Pool use Pool_Object;

35
Another access type may be added to an existing storage pool, via:

36
     for T2'Storage_Pool use T'Storage_Pool;

37
The semantics of this is implementation defined for a standard storage
pool.

37.a
          Reason: For example, the implementation is allowed to choose a
          storage pool for T that takes advantage of the fact that T is
          of a certain size.  If T2 is not of that size, then the above
          will probably not work.

38/3
{<AI05-0111-3AI05-0111-3>} As usual, a derivative of Root_Storage_Pool
may define additional operations.  For example, consider the
Mark_Release_Pool_Type defined in *note 13.11.6::, that has two
additional operations, Mark and Release, the following is a possible
use:

39/3
     {<8652/00418652/0041>} {<AI95-00066-01AI95-00066-01>} {<AI05-0111-3AI05-0111-3>} type Mark_Release_Pool_Type
        (Pool_Size : Storage_Elements.Storage_Count)
             is new Subpools.Root_Storage_Pool_With_Subpools with private;
                -- <As defined in package MR_Pool, see *note 13.11.6::>

40
     ...

41/3
     {<AI05-0111-3AI05-0111-3>} Our_Pool : Mark_Release_Pool_Type (Pool_Size => 2000);
     My_Mark : MR_Pool.Subpool_Handle; -- <See *note 13.11.6::>

42/3
     {<AI05-0111-3AI05-0111-3>} type Acc is access ...;
     for Acc'Storage_Pool use Our_Pool;
     ...

43/3
     {<AI05-0111-3AI05-0111-3>} My_Mark := Mark(Our_Pool);
     ... --< Allocate objects using "new (My_Mark) Designated(...)".>
     Release(My_Mark); --< Finalize objects and reclaim storage.>

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

43.a
          User-defined storage pools are new to Ada 95.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

43.b/3
          {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} {<AI05-0190-1AI05-0190-1>} Ada 83
          originally introduced the concept called a "collection," which
          is similar to what we call a storage pool.  All access types
          in the same derivation class share the same collection.  Ada
          95 introduces the storage pool, which is similar in that all
          access types in the same derivation class share the same
          storage pool, but other (unrelated) access types can also
          share the same storage pool, either by default, or as
          specified by the user.  A collection is an amorphous grouping
          of objects (mainly used to describe finalization of access
          types); a storage pool is a more concrete concept -- hence the
          different name.

43.c
          RM83 states the erroneousness of reading or updating
          deallocated objects incorrectly by missing various cases.

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 95_

43.d/2
          {<AI95-00435-01AI95-00435-01>} Amendment Correction: Storage
          pools (and Storage_Size) are not defined for
          access-to-subprogram types.  The original Ada 95 wording
          defined the attributes, but said nothing about their values.
          If a program uses attributes Storage_Pool or Storage_Size on
          an access-to-subprogram type, it will need to be corrected for
          Ada 2005.  That's a good thing, as such a use is a bug -- the
          concepts never were defined for such types.

                        _Extensions to Ada 95_

43.e/2
          {<AI95-00161-01AI95-00161-01>} Amendment Correction: Added
          pragma Preelaborable_Initialization to type Root_Storage_Pool,
          so that extensions of it can be used to declare
          default-initialized objects in preelaborated units.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

43.f/2
          {<8652/00098652/0009>} {<AI95-00137-01AI95-00137-01>}
          Corrigendum: Added wording to specify that these are
          representation attributes.

43.g/2
          {<AI95-00230-01AI95-00230-01>} {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>}
          Added wording to clarify that an allocator for a coextension
          nested inside an outer allocator shares the pool with the
          outer allocator.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

43.h/3
          {<AI05-0051-1AI05-0051-1>} Correction: Added the missing
          definition of the storage pool of an allocator for an
          anonymous access result type.

43.i/3
          {<AI05-0107-1AI05-0107-1>} Correction: Clarified when an
          implementation is allowed to call Allocate and Deallocate, and
          the requirements on such calls.

43.j/3
          {<AI05-0111-3AI05-0111-3>} Added wording to support subpools
          and refer to the subpool example, see *note 13.11.4::.

43.k/3
          {<AI05-0116-1AI05-0116-1>} Correction: Added wording to
          specify that the alignment for an allocator with a class-wide
          designated type comes from the specific type that is
          allocated.

43.l/3
          {<AI05-0193-1AI05-0193-1>} Added wording to allow larger
          alignments for calls to Allocate made by allocators, up to
          Max_Alignment_For_Allocation.  This eases implementation in
          some cases.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2012_

43.m/4
          {<AI12-0043-1AI12-0043-1>} Corrigendum: Tightened up the
          description of the implementation-defined pool used when
          Storage_Size is specified.  This is not intended to change any
          implementation.

               that could be requested by the implementation via
               Allocate for an access type whose designated subtype is
               S. The value of this attribute is of type
               <universal_integer>.

3.a
          Ramification: If S is an unconstrained array subtype, or an
          unconstrained subtype with discriminants,
          S'Max_Size_In_Storage_Elements might be very large.

4/3
S'Max_Alignment_For_Allocation
               {<AI05-0193-1AI05-0193-1>} Denotes the maximum value for
               Alignment that could be requested by the implementation
               via Allocate for an access type whose designated subtype
               is S. The value of this attribute is of type
               <universal_integer>.

5/3
{<AI05-0193-1AI05-0193-1>} For a type with access discriminants, if the
implementation allocates space for a coextension in the same pool as
that of the object having the access discriminant, then these attributes
account for any calls on Allocate that could be performed to provide
space for such coextensions.

5.a/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0193-1AI05-0193-1>} The values of these
          attributes should reflect only the calls that might be made to
          the pool specified for an access type with designated type S.
          Thus, if the coextensions would normally be allocated from a
          different pool than the one used for the main object (that is,
          the Implementation Advice of *note 13.11:: for determining the
          pool of an anonymous access discriminant is not followed),
          then these attributes should not reflect any calls on Allocate
          used to allocate the coextensions.

5.b/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0193-1AI05-0193-1>} Coextensions of
          coextensions of this type (and so on) are included in the
          values of these attributes if they are allocated from the same
          pool.

5.c/2
          {<AI95-00256-01AI95-00256-01>} Corrected the wording so that a
          fortune-telling compiler that can see the future execution of
          the program is not required.

13.11.2 Unchecked Storage Deallocation
--------------------------------------

1
[ Unchecked storage deallocation of an object designated by a value of
an access type is achieved by a call to an instance of the generic
procedure Unchecked_Deallocation.]

                          _Static Semantics_

2
The following language-defined generic library procedure exists:

3/3
     {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} generic
        type Object(<>) is limited private;
        type Name   is access  Object;

     procedure Ada.Unchecked_Deallocation(X : in out Name)
        with Convention => Intrinsic;
     pragma Preelaborate(Ada.Unchecked_Deallocation);

3.a/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} The aspect Convention
          implies that the attribute Access is not allowed for instances
          of Unchecked_Deallocation.

                           _Legality Rules_

3.1/3
{<AI05-0157-1AI05-0157-1>} A call on an instance of
Unchecked_Deallocation is illegal if the actual access type of the
instance is a type for which the Storage_Size has been specified by a
static expression with value zero or is defined by the language to be
zero.  In addition to the places where Legality Rules normally apply
(see *note 12.3::), this rule applies also in the private part of an
instance of a generic unit.

3.b/3
          Discussion: This rule is the same as the rule for allocators.
          We could have left the last sentence out, as a call to
          Unchecked_Deallocation cannot occur in a specification as it
          is a procedure call, but we left it for consistency and to
          avoid future maintenance hazards.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

4
Given an instance of Unchecked_Deallocation declared as follows:

5
     procedure Free is
         new Ada.Unchecked_Deallocation(
             <object_subtype_name>, <access_to_variable_subtype_name>);

6
Procedure Free has the following effect:

7
     1.  After executing Free(X), the value of X is null.

8
     2.  Free(X), when X is already equal to null, has no effect.

9/3
     3.  {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>} {<AI05-0107-1AI05-0107-1>}
     Free(X), when X is not equal to null first performs finalization of
     the object designated by X (and any coextensions of the object --
     see *note 3.10.2::), as described in *note 7.6.1::.  It then
     deallocates the storage occupied by the object designated by X (and
     any coextensions).  If the storage pool is a user-defined object,
     then the storage is deallocated by calling Deallocate as described
     in *note 13.11::.  There is one exception: if the object being
     freed contains tasks, the object might not be deallocated.

9.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0107-1AI05-0107-1>} Free calls only the
          specified Deallocate procedure to do deallocation.

10/4
{<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>} {<AI12-0148-1AI12-0148-1>} After the
finalization step of Free(X), the object designated by X, and any
subcomponents (and coextensions) thereof, no longer exist; their storage
can be reused for other purposes.

                      _Bounded (Run-Time) Errors_

11
It is a bounded error to free a discriminated, unterminated task object.
The possible consequences are:

11.a
          Reason: This is an error because the task might refer to its
          discriminants, and the discriminants might be deallocated by
          freeing the task object.

12
   * No exception is raised.

13
   * Program_Error or Tasking_Error is raised at the point of the
     deallocation.

14
   * Program_Error or Tasking_Error is raised in the task the next time
     it references any of the discriminants.

14.a
          Implementation Note: This last case presumes an implementation
          where the task references its discriminants indirectly, and
          the pointer is nulled out when the task object is deallocated.

15
In the first two cases, the storage for the discriminants (and for any
enclosing object if it is designated by an access discriminant of the
task) is not reclaimed prior to task termination.

15.a
          Ramification: The storage might never be reclaimed.

15.1/4
{<AI12-0148-1AI12-0148-1>} An access value that designates a nonexistent
object is called a <dangling reference>.

15.b/4
          Discussion: These can result from use of
          Unchecked_Deallocation, Unchecked_Deallocate_Subpool, and
          attribute Unchecked_Access.  Bad results from
          Unchecked_Conversion and from stream-oriented attributes are
          abnormal by *note 13.9.1::, which is stronger and thus takes
          precedence.

15.2/4
{<AI12-0148-1AI12-0148-1>} [If a dangling reference is dereferenced
(implicitly or explicitly), execution is erroneous (see below).]  If
there is no explicit or implicit dereference, then it is a bounded error
to evaluate an expression whose result is a dangling reference.  If the
error is detected, either Constraint_Error or Program_Error is raised.  
Otherwise, execution proceeds normally, but with the possibility that
the access value designates some other existing object.

15.c/4
          Reason: If a dangling reference is compared with another
          access value, a result of either True or False is allowed.  We
          need to allow this so that simple implementations of access
          values (for instance, as a bare address) can work if the
          memory in question is reused.  (The formal definition of
          access equality is that it returns True if both access values
          designate the same object; that can never be True if one of
          the values is a dangling reference, and the other is not, but
          both values could refer to the same memory.)  Membership tests
          that do not involve an implicit dereference generally do not
          depend on the access value at all.

15.d/4
          We allow Constraint_Error to be raised here so that dangling
          reference and null pointer checks can be combined into a
          single check.  If different exceptions are required, then the
          checks have to be made separately - but there's little
          semantic difference (neither designate a usable object).

15.e/4
          Ramification: If a dangling reference is assigned into an
          object, including being passed to a formal parameter, that
          object also contains a dangling reference afterwards.

15.f/4
          Discussion: For equality and membership operations on
          composite types, this applies to any parts that are access
          types, as these operations are created based on the operations
          of the components (which triggers the bounded error).  For
          other operations on composite types, the bounded error is not
          triggered.  For instance, an assignment of a composite object
          with a subcomponent that is a dangling reference has to work
          normally; no exception can be raised, but the target object
          will have a subcomponent that is a dangling references, and a
          (direct) use of that subcomponent is again a bounded error.
          This is similar to the way that assignments of invalid
          subcomponents are handled (see *note 13.9.1::).

                         _Erroneous Execution_

16/3
{<AI05-0033-1AI05-0033-1>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} Evaluating a name
that denotes a nonexistent object, or a protected subprogram or
subprogram renaming whose associated object (if any) is nonexistent, is
erroneous.  The execution of a call to an instance of
Unchecked_Deallocation is erroneous if the object was created other than
by an allocator for an access type whose pool is Name'Storage_Pool.

16.a/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0033-1AI05-0033-1>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>}
          The part about a protected subprogram is intended to cover the
          case of an access-to-protected-subprogram where the associated
          object has been deallocated.  The part about a subprogram
          renaming is intended to cover the case of a renaming of a
          prefixed view where the prefix object has been deallocated, or
          the case of a renaming of an entry or protected subprogram
          where the associated task or protected object has been
          deallocated.

16.b/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0157-1AI05-0157-1>} This text does not
          cover the case of a name that contains a null access value, as
          null does not denote an object (rather than denoting a
          nonexistent object).

                        _Implementation Advice_

17
For a standard storage pool, Free should actually reclaim the storage.

17.a.1/2
          Implementation Advice: For a standard storage pool, an
          instance of Unchecked_Deallocation should actually reclaim the
          storage.

17.a/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} This is not a
          testable property, since we do not know how much storage is
          used by a given pool element, nor whether fragmentation can
          occur.

17.1/3
{<AI05-0157-1AI05-0157-1>} A call on an instance of
Unchecked_Deallocation with a nonnull access value should raise
Program_Error if the actual access type of the instance is a type for
which the Storage_Size has been specified to be zero or is defined by
the language to be zero.

17.a.1/3
          Implementation Advice: A call on an instance of
          Unchecked_Deallocation with a nonnull access value should
          raise Program_Error if the actual access type of the instance
          is a type for which the Storage_Size has been specified to be
          zero or is defined by the language to be zero.

17.b
          Discussion: If the call is not illegal (as in a generic body),
          we recommend that it raise Program_Error.  Since the execution
          of this call is erroneous (any allocator from the pool will
          have raised Storage_Error, so the nonnull access value must
          have been allocated from a different pool or be a
          stack-allocated object), we can't require any behavior --
          anything at all would be a legitimate implementation.

     NOTES

18
     30  The rules here that refer to Free apply to any instance of
     Unchecked_Deallocation.

19
     31  Unchecked_Deallocation cannot be instantiated for an
     access-to-constant type.  This is implied by the rules of *note
     12.5.4::.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

19.a/2
          {<AI95-00416-01AI95-00416-01>} The rules for coextensions are
          clarified (mainly by adding that term).  In theory, this
          reflects no change from Ada 95 (coextensions existed in Ada
          95, they just didn't have a name).

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

19.b/3
          {<AI05-0033-1AI05-0033-1>} Correction: Added a rule that using
          an access-to-protected-subprogram is erroneous if the
          associated object no longer exists.  It is hard to imagine an
          alternative meaning here, and this has no effect on correct
          programs.

19.c/3
          {<AI05-0107-1AI05-0107-1>} Correction: Moved the requirements
          on an implementation-generated call to Deallocate to *note
          13.11::, in order to put all of the rules associated with
          implementation-generated calls to Allocate and Deallocate
          together.

19.d/3
          {<AI05-0157-1AI05-0157-1>} Correction: Added wording so that
          calling an instance of Unchecked_Deallocation is treated
          similarly to allocators for access types where allocators
          would be banned.

                    _Inconsistencies With Ada 2012_

19.e/4
          {<AI12-0148-1AI12-0148-1>} Corrigendum: Defined a "dangling
          reference", and specified that a dangling reference might
          designate some other existing object.  This allows simple
          implementations of access values and reuse of object memory
          after deallocation.  In prior versions of Ada, "=" between a
          dangling reference and an access to an existing object has to
          return False, even if the existing object and the object
          designated by the dangling reference are allocated in the same
          memory.  A program that depended upon that could break with
          this revised rule.  However, as a practical matter, almost all
          Ada implementations use simple implementations of access types
          that do not meet that requirement.  So such a program would
          not work (consistently) on most Ada implementations; thus the
          change shouldn't break any existing programs - it just aligns
          the Standard with actual practice.

19.f/4
          {<AI12-0148-1AI12-0148-1>} A side effect of this change is to
          allow an Ada implementation to detect dangling references in
          more places.  This does not require any Ada implementation to
          change, and if the implementation does change, it just means
          that errors will be detected earlier.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2012_

19.g/4
          {<AI12-0148-1AI12-0148-1>} Corrigendum: Clarified that
          deallocated objects cease to exist after finalization but
          before Deallocate is called.  This is necessary to prevent
          erroneous execution from being triggered by the rules in *note
          13.11:: in the time between the end of finalization and the
          end of the call to the instance of Unchecked_Deallocation.

13.11.3 Default Storage Pools

1/4
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} {<AI12-0003-1AI12-0003-1>} [Pragma and aspect
Default_Storage_Pool specify the storage pool that will be used in the
absence of an explicit specification of a storage pool or storage size
for an access type.]

                               _Syntax_

2/3
     {<AI05-0190-1AI05-0190-1>} {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} The form of a
     pragma Default_Storage_Pool is as follows:

3/3
     {<AI05-0190-1AI05-0190-1>} {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>}   pragma 
     Default_Storage_Pool (storage_pool_indicator);

3.1/4
     {<AI05-0190-1AI05-0190-1>} {<AI12-0003-1AI12-0003-1>}
     storage_pool_indicator ::= <storage_pool_>name | null | Standard

3.2/3
     {<AI05-0190-1AI05-0190-1>} A pragma Default_Storage_Pool is allowed
     immediately within the visible part of a package_specification,
     immediately within a declarative_part, or as a configuration
     pragma.

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

3.3/3
{<AI05-0190-1AI05-0190-1>} The <storage_pool_>name is expected to be of
type Root_Storage_Pool'Class.

                           _Legality Rules_

4/3
{<AI05-0190-1AI05-0190-1>} {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} The
<storage_pool_>name shall denote a variable.

4.1/4
{<AI12-0003-1AI12-0003-1>} The Standard storage_pool_indicator is an
identifier specific to a pragma (see *note 2.8::) and does not denote
any declaration.  If the storage_pool_indicator is Standard, then there
shall not be a declaration with defining_identifier Standard that is
immediately visible at the point of the pragma, other than package
Standard itself.

4.a.1/4
          Reason: We considered having the Standard
          storage_pool_indicator resolve to package Standard rather than
          being an identifier specific to a pragma.  That would
          eliminate the need for a special check.  But it would be
          bizarre to have something that could resolve to either an
          object or a (single) package, and resolving to package
          Standard would imply that the standard pool is an object
          declared in that package.  A storage pool object must be a
          variable (see *note 13.11::), yet preelaborable packages
          depend on package Standard, which would require implementers
          to implement the standard storage pool with
          Preelaborable_Initialization, which is an unnecessary
          restriction.

4.a.2/4
          No declaration of Standard can ever be use-visible, as the
          language-defined nonoverloadable definition of Standard will
          hide any use-visible declarations.  Thus we need only concern
          ourselves with eliminating any possible confusion with regard
          to immediately visible declarations with the
          defining_identifier Standard.

4.2/4
{<AI05-0190-1AI05-0190-1>} {<AI12-0003-1AI12-0003-1>} If the pragma is
used as a configuration pragma, the storage_pool_indicator shall be
either null or Standard, and it defines the <default pool> to be the
given storage_pool_indicator within all applicable compilation units
(see *note 10.1.5::), except within the immediate scope of another
pragma Default_Storage_Pool.  Otherwise, [the pragma occurs immediately
within a sequence of declarations, and] it defines the default pool
within the immediate scope of the pragma to be the given
storage_pool_indicator, except within the immediate scope of a later
pragma Default_Storage_Pool.  [Thus, an inner pragma overrides an outer
one.]

4.3/4
{<AI05-0190-1AI05-0190-1>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} A pragma
Default_Storage_Pool shall not be used as a configuration pragma that
applies to a compilation unit that is within the immediate scope of
another pragma Default_Storage_Pool.

4.a/3
          Reason: This is to prevent confusion in cases like this:

4.b/3
               package Parent is
                  pragma Default_Storage_Pool(...);
                  ...
               end Parent;

4.c/3
               pragma Default_Storage_Pool(...); --< Illegal!>
               package Parent.Child is
                  ...
               end Parent.Child;

4.d/3

          it were legal) override the one in Parent.

that is immediately visible at the point of the aspect specification,
other than package Standard itself.

access types declared in places where the default pool is defined by the
pragma or aspect, their Storage_Pool or Storage_Size attribute is
determined as follows, unless Storage_Pool or Storage_Size is specified
for the type:

6.1/3
   * {<AI05-0190-1AI05-0190-1>} If the default pool is null, the

6.b/3
          {<AI05-0190-1AI05-0190-1>} {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} Note
          that coextensions should be allocated in the same pool (or on
          the stack) as the outer object (see *note 13.11::); the
          Storage_Pool of the access discriminant (and hence the
          Default_Storage_Pool) is supposed to be ignored for
          coextensions.  This matches the required finalization point
          for coextensions.

6.b.1/3
          {<AI05-0190-1AI05-0190-1>} The default storage pool for an
          allocator that occurs within an instance of a generic is
          defined by the Default_Storage_Pool aspect of the
          instantiation (if specified), or by the Default_Storage_Pool
          pragma that applied to the generic; the Default_Storage_Pool
          pragma that applies to the instantiation is irrelevant.

6.b.2/3
          {<AI05-0190-1AI05-0190-1>} It is possible to specify the
          Default_Storage_Pool aspect for an instantiation such that
          allocations will fail.  For example, the generic unit might be
          expecting a pool that supports certain sizes and alignments,
          and the one on the instance might be more restrictive.  It is
          the programmer's responsibility to get this right.

6.b.3/3
          {<AI05-0190-1AI05-0190-1>} The semantics of the
          Default_Storage_Pool aspect are similar to passing a pool
          object as a generic formal, and putting pragma
          Default_Storage_Pool at the top of the generic's visible part,
          specifying that formal.

9.b/3
          {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} Pragma Controlled has been dropped
          from Ada, as it has no effect in any known Ada implementations
          and it seems to promise capabilities not expected in Ada
          implementations.  This is usually not an incompatibility, as
          the pragma merely becomes unrecognized (with a warning) and
          can be implemented as an implementation-defined pragma if
          desired.  However, it is incompatible if it is (now)
          implemented as an implementation-defined pragma, someone used
          this pragma in a unit, and they also used restriction
          No_Implementation_Pragmas on that unit.  In that case, the
          pragma would now violate the restriction; but use of this
          pragma (which does nothing) should be very rare, so this is
          not a significant issue.

          storage management of objects, including controlled objects, a
          mechanism which is much more predictable than garbage
          collection.  Note that no version of Ada allows early
          finalization of controlled objects (other than via the use of
          Unchecked_Deallocation or Unchecked_Deallocate_Subpool), so
          that garbage collection of such objects would be ineffective

13.11.4 Storage Subpools
------------------------

1/3
{<AI05-0111-3AI05-0111-3>} This subclause defines a package to support
the partitioning of a storage pool into subpools.  A subpool may be

storage pool, or a particular subpool may be specified as part of an
allocator (see *note 4.8::).

18/3
{<AI05-0111-3AI05-0111-3>} A <subpool> is a separately reclaimable
portion of a storage pool, identified by an object of type
Subpool_Handle (a <subpool handle>).  A subpool handle also identifies
the enclosing storage pool, a <storage pool that supports subpools>,
which is a storage pool whose type is descended from
Root_Storage_Pool_With_Subpools.  A subpool is created by calling
Create_Subpool or a similar constructor; the constructor returns the
subpool handle.

19/3
{<AI05-0111-3AI05-0111-3>} {<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>} A <subpool object>
is an object of a type descended from Root_Subpool.  [Typically, subpool
objects are managed by the containing storage pool; only the handles
need be exposed to clients of the storage pool.  Subpool objects are
designated by subpool handles, and are the run-time representation of a
subpool.]

19.a/3
          Proof: We know that subpool handles designate subpool objects
          because the declaration of Subpool_Handle says so.

20/4
{<AI05-0111-3AI05-0111-3>} {<AI05-0145-1AI05-0145-1>} Each subpool
<belongs> to a single storage pool [(which will always be a pool that
supports subpools)].  An access to the pool that a subpool belongs to
can be obtained by calling Pool_of_Subpool with the subpool handle.
Set_Pool_of_Subpool causes the subpool of the subpool handle to belong
to the given pool[; this is intended to be called from subpool
constructors like Create_Subpool.]  Set_Pool_of_Subpool propagates
Program_Error if the subpool already belongs to a pool.  If
Set_Pool_of_Subpool has not yet been called for a subpool,
Pool_of_Subpool returns null.

20.a/3
          Discussion: Pool_of_Subpool and Set_Pool_of_Subpool are
          provided by the Ada implementation and typically will not be
          overridden by the pool implementer.

21/3
{<AI05-0111-3AI05-0111-3>} When an allocator for a type whose storage
pool supports subpools is evaluated, a call is made on
Allocate_From_Subpool passing in a Subpool_Handle, in addition to the
parameters as defined for calls on Allocate (see *note 13.11::).  The
subpool designated by the <subpool_handle_>name is used, if specified in
an allocator.  Otherwise, Default_Subpool_for_Pool of the Pool is used
to provide a subpool handle.  All requirements on the Allocate procedure
also apply to Allocate_from_Subpool.

21.a/3
          Discussion: Deallocate_Subpool is expected to do whatever is
          needed to deallocate all of the objects contained in the
          subpool; it is called from Unchecked_Deallocate_Subpool (see
          *note 13.11.5::).

21.b/3
          Typically, the pool implementer will not override Allocate.
          In the canonical definition of the language, it will never be
          called for a pool that supports subpools (there is an
          Implementation Permission below that allows it to be called in
          certain rare cases).

                           _Legality Rules_

22/3
{<AI05-0111-3AI05-0111-3>} If a storage pool that supports subpools is
specified as the Storage_Pool for an access type, the access type is
called a <subpool access type>.  A subpool access type shall be a
pool-specific access type.

23/3
{<AI05-0111-3AI05-0111-3>} {<AI05-0252-1AI05-0252-1>} The accessibility
level of a subpool access type shall not be statically deeper than that
of the storage pool object.  If the specified storage pool object is a
storage pool that supports subpools, then the name that denotes the
object shall not denote part of a formal parameter, nor shall it denote
part of a dereference of a value of a non-library-level general access
type.  In addition to the places where Legality Rules normally apply
(see *note 12.3::), these rules also apply in the private part of an
instance of a generic unit.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

24/3
{<AI05-0111-3AI05-0111-3>} {<AI05-0252-1AI05-0252-1>} When an access
type with a specified storage pool is frozen (see *note 13.14::), if the
tag of the storage pool object identifies a storage pool that supports
subpools, the following checks are made:

25/3
   * the name used to specify the storage pool object does not denote
     part of a formal parameter nor part of a dereference of a value of
     a non-library-level general access type; and

26/3
   * the accessibility level of the access type is not deeper than that
     of the storage pool object.

27/3
{<AI05-0252-1AI05-0252-1>} Program_Error is raised if either of these
checks fail.

27.a/3
          Reason: This check (and its static counterpart) ensures that
          the type of the allocated objects exists at least as long as
          the storage pool object, so that the subpools are finalized
          (which finalizes any remaining allocated objects) before the
          type of the objects ceases to exist.  The access type itself
          (and the associated collection) will cease to exist before the
          storage pool ceases to exist.

27.b/3
          We also disallow the use of formal parameters and dereferences
          of non-library-level general access types when specifying a
          storage pool object if it supports subpools, because the
          "apparent" accessibility level is potentially deeper than that
          of the underlying object.  Neither of these cases is very
          likely to occur in practice.

28/3
{<AI05-0111-3AI05-0111-3>} A call to Subpools.Allocate(P, Addr, Size,
Align) does the following:

29/3
     Allocate_From_Subpool
       (Root_Storage_Pool_With_Subpools'Class(P),
        Addr, Size, Align,
        Subpool => Default_Subpool_for_Pool
                     (Root_Storage_Pool_With_Subpools'Class(P)));

30/3
{<AI05-0111-3AI05-0111-3>} An allocator that allocates in a subpool
raises Program_Error if the allocated object has task parts.

30.a/3
          Reason: This is to ease implementation.  We envision relaxing
          this restriction in a future version of Ada, once
          implementation experience has been gained.  At this time, we
          are unable to come up with a set of rules for task termination
          that is both useful, and surely feasible to implement.

31/3
{<AI05-0111-3AI05-0111-3>} Unless overridden, Default_Subpool_for_Pool
propagates Program_Error.

                         _Erroneous Execution_

31.1/4
{<AI12-0142-1AI12-0142-1>} If Allocate_From_Subpool does not meet one or
more of the requirements on the Allocate procedure as given in the
Erroneous Execution rules of *note 13.11::, then the program execution
is erroneous.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

32/3
{<AI05-0111-3AI05-0111-3>} When an allocator for a type whose storage
pool is of type Root_Storage_Pool'Class is evaluated, but supports
subpools, the implementation may call Allocate rather than
Allocate_From_Subpool.  [This will have the same effect, so long as
Allocate has not been overridden.]

32.a/3
          Reason: This ensures either of two implementation models are
          possible for an allocator with no subpool_specification.  Note
          that the "supports subpools" property is not known at compile
          time for a pool of the class-wide type.

32.b/3
             * The implementation can dispatch to
               Storage_Pools.Allocate.  If the pool supports subpools,
               this will call Allocate_From_Subpool with the default
               subpool so long as Allocate has not been overridden.

32.c/3
             * The implementation can declare Allocate_From_Subpool as a
               primitive of Root_Storage_Pool in the private part of
               Storage_Pools.  This means that the Allocate_From_Subpool
               for Root_Storage_Pool_With_Subpools overrides that
               private one.  The implementation can thus call the
               private one, which will call Allocate for
               non-subpool-supporting pools.  The effect of this
               implementation does not change if Allocate is overridden
               for a pool that supports subpools.

     NOTES

33/3
     33  {<AI05-0111-3AI05-0111-3>} A user-defined storage pool type
     that supports subpools can be implemented by extending the
     Root_Storage_Pool_With_Subpools type, and overriding the primitive
     subprograms Create_Subpool, Allocate_From_Subpool, and
     Deallocate_Subpool.  Create_Subpool should call Set_Pool_Of_Subpool
     before returning the subpool handle.  To make use of such a pool, a
     user would declare an object of the type extension, use it to
     define the Storage_Pool attribute of one or more access types, and
     then call Create_Subpool to obtain subpool handles associated with
     the pool.

34/3
     34  {<AI05-0111-3AI05-0111-3>} A user-defined storage pool type
     that supports subpools may define additional subpool constructors
     similar to Create_Subpool (these typically will have additional
     parameters).

35/3
     35  {<AI05-0111-3AI05-0111-3>} The pool implementor should override
     Default_Subpool_For_Pool if the pool is to support a default
     subpool for the pool.  The implementor can override Deallocate if
     individual object reclamation is to be supported, and can override
     Storage_Size if there is some limit on the total size of the
     storage pool.  The implementor can override Initialize and Finalize
     if there is any need for nontrivial initialization and finalization
     for the pool as a whole.  For example, Finalize might reclaim
     blocks of storage that are allocated over and above the space
     occupied by the pool object itself.  The pool implementor may
     extend the Root_Subpool type as necessary to carry additional
     information with each subpool provided by Create_Subpool.

          {<AI12-0142-1AI12-0142-1>} Corrigendum: Clarified that an
          incorrect implementation of Allocate_From_Subpool causes
          execution to become erroneous.  The wording already said that
          the requirements of Allocate apply to Allocate_From_Subpool,
          so we're just confirming the consequences of violating those
          requirements also apply.

35.c/4
          {<AI12-0145-1AI12-0145-1>} Corrigendum: Clarified that
          Pool_of_Subpool returns null if Set_Pool_of_Subpool has not
          been called.  As that can be inferred from the definition, and
          all known existing implementations return null in this case,
          we document this as a wording change rather than a possible
          inconsistency.

13.11.5 Subpool Reclamation
---------------------------

1/3
{<AI05-0111-3AI05-0111-3>} A subpool may be explicitly deallocated using
Unchecked_Deallocate_Subpool.

                          _Static Semantics_

2/3
{<AI05-0111-3AI05-0111-3>} The following language-defined library
procedure exists:

3/3
     with System.Storage_Pools.Subpools;

     procedure Ada.Unchecked_Deallocate_Subpool
        (Subpool : in out System.Storage_Pools.Subpools.Subpool_Handle);

4/3
{<AI05-0111-3AI05-0111-3>} If Subpool is null, a call on
Unchecked_Deallocate_Subpool has no effect.  Otherwise, the subpool is
finalized, and Subpool is set to null.

5/3
{<AI05-0111-3AI05-0111-3>} Finalization of a subpool has the following
effects:

6/3
   * The subpool no longer belongs to any pool;

7/3
   * Any of the objects allocated from the subpool that still exist are
     finalized in an arbitrary order;

7.1/4
   * {<AI12-0148-1AI12-0148-1>} All of the objects allocated from the
     subpool cease to exist;

8/3
   * The following [dispatching] call is then made:

9/3
        Deallocate_Subpool(Pool_of_Subpool(Subpool).all, Subpool);

10/3
{<AI05-0111-3AI05-0111-3>} Finalization of a
Root_Storage_Pool_With_Subpools object finalizes all subpools that
belong to that pool that have not yet been finalized.

10.a/3
          Discussion: There is no need to call Unchecked_Deallocation on
          an object allocated in a subpool.  Such objects are
          deallocated all at once, when Unchecked_Deallocate_Subpool is
          called.

10.b/3
          If Unchecked_Deallocation is called, the object is finalized,
          and then Deallocate is called on the Pool, which typically
          will do nothing.  If it wants to free memory, it will need
          some way to get from the address of the object to the subpool.

10.c/3
          There is no Deallocate_From_Subpool.  There is no efficient
          way for the implementation to determine the subpool for an
          arbitrary object, and if the pool implementer can determinate
          that, they can use that as part of the implementation of
          Deallocate.

10.d/3
          If Unchecked_Deallocation is not called (the usual case), the
          object will be finalized when Unchecked_Deallocate_Subpool is
          called.

10.e/3
          If that's never called, then the object will be finalized when
          the Pool_With_Subpools is finalized (by permission -- it might
          happen when the collection of the access type is finalized).

                       _Extensions to Ada 2005_

10.f/3
          {<AI05-0111-3AI05-0111-3>} Unchecked_Deallocate_Subpool is
          new.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2012_

10.g/4
          {<AI12-0148-1AI12-0148-1>} Corrigendum: Added missing wording
          to state that the objects cease to exist after the completion
          of finalization.  This is formally an inconsistency (it would
          be possible to depend on the fact that objects finalized by
          Unchecked_Deallocate_Subpool still exist), but that violates
          every sane expectation for a procedure called "Deallocate"
          something.

13.12 Pragma Restrictions and Pragma Profile
============================================

1/3
{<AI05-0246-1AI05-0246-1>} [A pragma Restrictions expresses the user's
intent to abide by certain restrictions.  A pragma Profile expresses the
user's intent to abide by a set of Restrictions or other specified
run-time policies.  These may facilitate the construction of simpler
run-time environments.]

                               _Syntax_

2
     The form of a pragma Restrictions is as follows:

3
       pragma Restrictions(restriction{, restriction});

4/2
     {<AI95-00381-01AI95-00381-01>} restriction ::= <restriction_>
     identifier
         | <restriction_parameter_>identifier => 
     restriction_parameter_argument

4.1/2
     {<AI95-00381-01AI95-00381-01>} restriction_parameter_argument ::=
     name | expression

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

5
Unless otherwise specified for a particular restriction, the expression
is expected to be of any integer type.

                           _Legality Rules_

6
Unless otherwise specified for a particular restriction, the expression
shall be static, and its value shall be nonnegative.

7.a/3
          <This paragraph was deleted.>

<Paragraph 7 was deleted.>

                       _Post-Compilation Rules_

8/3
{<AI05-0013-1AI05-0013-1>} A pragma Restrictions is a configuration
pragma.  If a pragma Restrictions applies to any compilation unit
included in the partition, this may impose either (or both) of two kinds
of requirements, as specified for the particular restriction:

8.1/3
   * {<AI05-0013-1AI05-0013-1>} A restriction may impose requirements on
     some or all of the units comprising the partition.  Unless
     otherwise specified for a particular restriction, such a
     requirement applies to all of the units comprising the partition
     and is enforced via a post-compilation check.

8.2/3
   * {<AI05-0013-1AI05-0013-1>} A restriction may impose requirements on
     the run-time behavior of the program, as indicated by the
     specification of run-time behavior associated with a violation of
     the requirement.

8.a.1/3
          Ramification: In this latter case, there is no
          post-compilation check needed for the requirement.

8.3/1
{<8652/00428652/0042>} {<AI95-00130-01AI95-00130-01>} For the purpose of
checking whether a partition contains constructs that violate any
restriction (unless specified otherwise for a particular restriction):

8.4/1
   * {<8652/00428652/0042>} {<AI95-00130-01AI95-00130-01>} Generic
     instances are logically expanded at the point of instantiation;

8.5/1
   * {<8652/00428652/0042>} {<AI95-00130-01AI95-00130-01>} If an object
     of a type is declared or allocated and not explicitly initialized,
     then all expressions appearing in the definition for the type and
     any of its ancestors are presumed to be used;

8.6/1
   * {<8652/00428652/0042>} {<AI95-00130-01AI95-00130-01>} A
     default_expression for a formal parameter or a generic formal
     object is considered to be used if and only if the corresponding
     actual parameter is not provided in a given call or instantiation.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

8.7/3
{<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>} An implementation may provide
implementation-defined restrictions; the identifier for an
implementation-defined restriction shall differ from those of the
language-defined restrictions.

8.a.2/3
          Implementation defined: Implementation-defined restrictions
          allowed in a pragma Restrictions.

9
An implementation may place limitations on the values of the expression
that are supported, and limitations on the supported combinations of
restrictions.  The consequences of violating such limitations are
implementation defined.

9.a
          Implementation defined: The consequences of violating
          limitations on Restrictions pragmas.

9.b
          Ramification: Such limitations may be enforced at compile time
          or at run time.  Alternatively, the implementation is allowed
          to declare violations of the restrictions to be erroneous, and
          not enforce them at all.

9.1/1
{<8652/00428652/0042>} {<AI95-00130-01AI95-00130-01>} An implementation
is permitted to omit restriction checks for code that is recognized at
compile time to be unreachable and for which no code is generated.

9.2/1
{<8652/00438652/0043>} {<AI95-00190-01AI95-00190-01>} Whenever
enforcement of a restriction is not required prior to execution, an
implementation may nevertheless enforce the restriction prior to
execution of a partition to which the restriction applies, provided that
every execution of the partition would violate the restriction.

10/3
     {<AI95-00249-01AI95-00249-01>} {<AI05-0246-1AI05-0246-1>} The form
     of a pragma Profile is as follows:

11/3
       pragma Profile (<profile_>identifier {, <profile_>
     pragma_argument_association});

                           _Legality Rules_

12/3
{<AI95-00249-01AI95-00249-01>} {<AI05-0246-1AI05-0246-1>} The
<profile_>identifier shall be the name of a usage profile.  The
semantics of any <profile_>pragma_argument_association (*note 2.8:
S0020.)s are defined by the usage profile specified by the
<profile_>identifier.

                          _Static Semantics_

13/3
{<AI95-00249-01AI95-00249-01>} {<AI05-0246-1AI05-0246-1>} A profile is
equivalent to the set of configuration pragmas that is defined for each
usage profile.

                       _Post-Compilation Rules_

14/3
{<AI95-00249-01AI95-00249-01>} A pragma Profile is a configuration
pragma.  There may be more than one pragma Profile for a partition.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

15/3
{<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>} An implementation may provide
implementation-defined usage profiles; the identifier for an
implementation-defined usage profile shall differ from those of the
language-defined usage profiles.

15.a.1/3
          Implementation defined: Implementation-defined usage profiles
          allowed in a pragma Profile.

     NOTES

16/2
     36  {<AI95-00347-01AI95-00347-01>} Restrictions intended to
     facilitate the construction of efficient tasking run-time systems
     are defined in *note D.7::.  Restrictions intended for use when
     constructing high integrity systems are defined in *note H.4::.

17
     37  An implementation has to enforce the restrictions in cases
     where enforcement is required, even if it chooses not to take
     advantage of the restrictions in terms of efficiency.

17.a
          Discussion: It is not the intent that an implementation will
          support a different run-time system for every possible
          combination of restrictions.  An implementation might support
          only two run-time systems, and document a set of restrictions
          that is sufficient to allow use of the more efficient and safe
          one.

          Corrigendum: Corrected the wording so that restrictions are
          checked inside of generic instantiations and in default
          expressions.  Since not making these checks would violate the
          purpose of restrictions, we are not documenting this as an

          Corrigendum: Added a permission that restrictions can be
          enforced at compile-time.  While this is technically
          incompatible, documenting it as such would be unnecessarily
          alarming - there should not be any programs depending on the
          runtime failure of restrictions.

          {<AI95-00381-01AI95-00381-01>} The syntax of a

13.12.1 Language-Defined Restrictions and Profiles
--------------------------------------------------

                          _Static Semantics_

1/2
{<AI95-00257-01AI95-00257-01>} The following <restriction_>identifiers
are language defined (additional restrictions are defined in the
Specialized Needs Annexes):

1.1/3
{<AI05-0241-1AI05-0241-1>} No_Implementation_Aspect_Specifications
               There are no implementation-defined aspects specified by
               an aspect_specification.  This restriction applies only
               to the current compilation or environment, not the entire
               partition.

1.a/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0241-1AI05-0241-1>} This restriction (as
          well as others below) applies only to the current compilation,
          because it is likely that the runtime (and possibly
          user-written low-level code) will need to use
          implementation-defined aspects.  But a partition-wide
          restriction applies everywhere, including the runtime.

2/2
{<AI95-00257-01AI95-00257-01>} No_Implementation_Attributes
               There are no implementation-defined attributes.  This
               restriction applies only to the current compilation or
               environment, not the entire partition.

2.1/3
{<AI05-0246-1AI05-0246-1>} {<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>} 
No_Implementation_Identifiers
               There are no usage names that denote declarations with
               implementation-defined identifiers that occur within
               language-defined packages or instances of
               language-defined generic packages.  Such identifiers can
               arise as follows:

2.2/3
                  * The following language-defined packages and generic
                    packages allow implementation-defined identifiers:

2.3/3
                            * package System (see *note 13.7::);

2.4/3
                            * package Standard (see *note A.1::);

2.5/3
                            * package Ada.Command_Line (see *note
                              A.15::);

2.6/3
                            * package Interfaces.C (see *note B.3::);

2.7/3
                            * package Interfaces.C.Strings (see *note
                              B.3.1::);

2.8/3
                            * package Interfaces.C.Pointers (see *note
                              B.3.2::);

2.9/3
                            * package Interfaces.COBOL (see *note
                              B.4::);

2.10/3
                            * package Interfaces.Fortran (see *note
                              B.5::);

2.11/3
                  * The following language-defined packages contain only
                    implementation-defined identifiers:

2.12/3
                            * package System.Machine_Code (see *note
                              13.8::);

2.13/3
                            * package Ada.Directories.Information (see
                              *note A.16::);

2.14/3
                            * nested Implementation packages of the
                              Queue containers (see *note A.18.28::-31);

2.15/3
                            * package Interfaces (see *note B.2::);

2.16/3
                            * package Ada.Interrupts.Names (see *note
                              C.3.2::).

2.17/3
               For package Standard, Standard.Long_Integer and
               Standard.Long_Float are considered language-defined
               identifiers, but identifiers such as
               Standard.Short_Short_Integer are considered
               implementation-defined.

2.18/3
               This restriction applies only to the current compilation
               or environment, not the entire partition.

3/2
{<AI95-00257-01AI95-00257-01>} No_Implementation_Pragmas
               There are no implementation-defined pragmas or pragma
               arguments.  This restriction applies only to the current
               compilation or environment, not the entire partition.

3.1/3
{<AI05-0242-1AI05-0242-1>} No_Implementation_Units
               There is no mention in the context_clause of any
               implementation-defined descendants of packages Ada,
               Interfaces, or System.  This restriction applies only to
               the current compilation or environment, not the entire
               partition.

4/3
{<AI95-00368-01AI95-00368-01>} {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} 
No_Obsolescent_Features
               There is no use of language features defined in Annex J.
               It is implementation defined whether uses of the
               renamings of *note J.1:: and of the pragmas of *note
               J.15:: are detected by this restriction.  This
               restriction applies only to the current compilation or
               environment, not the entire partition.

4.a/2
          Reason: A user could compile a rename like

4.b/2
               with Ada.Text_IO;
               package Text_IO renames Ada.Text_IO;

4.c/2
          Such a rename must not be disallowed by this restriction, nor
          should the compilation of such a rename be restricted by an
          implementation.  Many implementations implement the renames of
          *note J.1:: by compiling them normally; we do not want to
          require implementations to use a special mechanism to
          implement these renames.

4.d/3
          {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} The pragmas have the same
          functionality as the corresponding aspect (unlike the typical
          obsolescent feature), and rejecting them could be a
          significant portability problem for existing code.

5/3
{<AI95-00381-01AI95-00381-01>} {<AI05-0241-1AI05-0241-1>} The following
<restriction_parameter_>identifiers are language defined:

6/2
{<AI95-00381-01AI95-00381-01>} No_Dependence
               Specifies a library unit on which there are no semantic
               dependences.

6.1/3
{<AI05-0241-1AI05-0241-1>} No_Specification_of_Aspect
               Identifies an aspect for which no aspect_specification,
               attribute_definition_clause, or pragma is given.

6.2/3
{<AI05-0272-1AI05-0272-1>} No_Use_Of_Attribute
               Identifies an attribute for which no attribute_reference
               or attribute_definition_clause is given.

6.3/3
{<AI05-0272-1AI05-0272-1>} No_Use_Of_Pragma
               Identifies a pragma which is not to be used.

                           _Legality Rules_

7/2
{<AI95-00381-01AI95-00381-01>} The restriction_parameter_argument of a
No_Dependence restriction shall be a name; the name shall have the form
of a full expanded name of a library unit, but need not denote a unit
present in the environment.

7.a/2
          Ramification: This name is not resolved.

7.1/3
{<AI05-0241-1AI05-0241-1>} The restriction_parameter_argument of a
No_Specification_of_Aspect restriction shall be an identifier; this is
an identifier specific to a pragma (see *note 2.8::) and does not denote
any declaration.

7.b/3
          Ramification: This restriction_parameter_argument is not
          resolved as it is an identifier specific to a pragma.  As for
          No_Dependence, there is no check that the aspect identifier is
          meaningful; it might refer to an implementation-defined aspect
          on one implementation, but nothing at all on another
          implementation.

7.2/3
{<AI05-0272-1AI05-0272-1>} The restriction_parameter_argument of a
No_Use_Of_Attribute restriction shall be an identifier or one of the
reserved words Access, Delta, Digits, Mod, or Range; this is an
identifier specific to a pragma.

7.c/3
          Ramification: This restriction_parameter_argument is not
          resolved as it is an identifier specific to a pragma.  There
          is no check that the attribute identifier refers to a known
          attribute_designator; it might refer to an
          implementation-defined attribute on one implementation, but
          nothing at all on another implementation.

7.3/3
{<AI05-0272-1AI05-0272-1>} The restriction_parameter_argument of a
No_Use_Of_Pragma restriction shall be an identifier or the reserved word
Interface; this is an identifier specific to a pragma.

7.d/3
          Ramification: This restriction_parameter_argument is not
          resolved as it is an identifier specific to a pragma.  There
          is no check that the pragma identifier refers to a known
          pragma; it might refer to an implementation-defined pragma on
          one implementation, but nothing at all on another
          implementation.

                       _Post-Compilation Rules_

8/3
{<AI95-00381-01AI95-00381-01>} {<AI05-0241-1AI05-0241-1>} No compilation
unit included in the partition shall depend semantically on the library
unit identified by the name of a No_Dependence restriction.

8.a/2
          Ramification: There is no requirement that the library unit
          actually exist.  One possible use of the pragma is to prevent
          the use of implementation-defined units; when the program is
          ported to a different compiler, it is perfectly reasonable
          that no unit with the name exist.

                          _Static Semantics_

9/3
{<AI05-0246-1AI05-0246-1>} The following <profile_>identifier is

13.13 Streams
=============

1
A <stream> is a sequence of elements comprising values from possibly
different types and allowing sequential access to these values.  A
<stream type> is a type in the class whose root type is
Streams.Root_Stream_Type.  A stream type may be implemented in various
ways, such as an external sequential file, an internal buffer, or a
network channel.

1.a
          Discussion: A stream element will often be the same size as a
          storage element, but that is not required.

1.a.1/3
          Glossary entry: A stream is a sequence of elements that can be
          used, along with the stream-oriented attributes, to support
          marshalling and unmarshalling of values of most types.

13.13.1 The Package Streams
---------------------------

                          _Static Semantics_

1
The abstract type Root_Stream_Type is the root type of the class of
stream types.  The types in this class represent different kinds of
streams.  A new stream type is defined by extending the root type (or
some other stream type), overriding the Read and Write operations, and
optionally defining additional primitive subprograms, according to the
requirements of the particular kind of stream.  The predefined
stream-oriented attributes like T'Read and T'Write make dispatching
calls on the Read and Write procedures of the Root_Stream_Type.
(User-defined T'Read and T'Write attributes can also make such calls, or
can call the Read and Write attributes of other types.)

2

     package Ada.Streams is
         pragma Pure(Streams);

3/2
     {<AI95-00161-01AI95-00161-01>}     type Root_Stream_Type is abstract tagged limited private;
         pragma Preelaborable_Initialization(Root_Stream_Type);

4/1
     {<8652/00448652/0044>} {<AI95-00181-01AI95-00181-01>}     type Stream_Element is mod <implementation-defined>;
         type Stream_Element_Offset is range <implementation-defined>;
         subtype Stream_Element_Count is
             Stream_Element_Offset range 0..Stream_Element_Offset'Last;
         type Stream_Element_Array is
             array(Stream_Element_Offset range <>) of aliased Stream_Element;

5
         procedure Read(
           Stream : in out Root_Stream_Type;
           Item   : out Stream_Element_Array;
           Last   : out Stream_Element_Offset) is abstract;

6
         procedure Write(
           Stream : in out Root_Stream_Type;
           Item   : in Stream_Element_Array) is abstract;

7
     private
        ... -- <not specified by the language>
     end Ada.Streams;

8/2
{<AI95-00227-01AI95-00227-01>} The Read operation transfers stream
elements from the specified stream to fill the array Item.  Elements are
transferred until Item'Length elements have been transferred, or until
the end of the stream is reached.  If any elements are transferred, the
index of the last stream element transferred is returned in Last.
Otherwise, Item'First - 1 is returned in Last.  Last is less than
Item'Last only if the end of the stream is reached.

9
The Write operation appends Item to the specified stream.

9.a/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} The index subtype
          of Stream_Element_Array is Stream_Element_Offset because we
          wish to allow maximum flexibility.  Most Stream_Element_Arrays
          will probably have a lower bound of 0 or 1, but other lower
          bounds, including negative ones, make sense in some
          situations.

9.b/3
          {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} Note
          that there are some language-defined subprograms that fill
          part of a Stream_Element_Array, and return the index of the
          last element filled as a Stream_Element_Offset.  The Read
          procedures declared here, Streams.Stream_IO (see *note
          A.12.1::), and System.RPC (see *note E.5::) behave in this
          manner.  These will raise Constraint_Error if the resulting
          Last value is not in Stream_Element_Offset.  This implies that
          the Stream_Element_Array passed to these subprograms should
          not have a lower bound of Stream_Element_Offset'First, because
          then a read of 0 elements would always raise Constraint_Error.
          A better choice of lower bound is 0 or 1.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

9.1/1
{<8652/00448652/0044>} {<AI95-00181-01AI95-00181-01>} If
Stream_Element'Size is not a multiple of System.Storage_Unit, then the
components of Stream_Element_Array need not be aliased.

9.b.1/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} If the
          Stream_Element'Size is less than the size of
          System.Storage_Unit, then components of Stream_Element_Array
          need not be aliased.  This is necessary as the components of
          type Stream_Element size might not be addressable on the
          target architecture.

     NOTES

10
     38  See *note A.12.1::, "*note A.12.1:: The Package
     Streams.Stream_IO" for an example of extending type
     Root_Stream_Type.

11/2
     39  {<AI95-00227-01AI95-00227-01>} If the end of stream has been
     reached, and Item'First is Stream_Element_Offset'First, Read will
     raise Constraint_Error.

          Ramification: Thus, Stream_Element_Arrays should start at 0 or

13.13.2 Stream-Oriented Attributes
----------------------------------

1/3
{<8652/00098652/0009>} {<AI95-00137-01AI95-00137-01>}
{<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>} The type-related operational attributes
Write, Read, Output, and Input convert values to a stream of elements
and reconstruct values from a stream.

                          _Static Semantics_

1.1/2
{<AI95-00270-01AI95-00270-01>} For every subtype S of an elementary type
<T>, the following representation attribute is defined:

1.2/3
S'Stream_Size
               {<AI95-00270-01AI95-00270-01>} {<AI05-0194-1AI05-0194-1>}
               Denotes the number of bits read from or written to a
               stream by the default implementations of S'Read and
               S'Write.  Hence, the number of stream elements required
               per item of elementary type <T> is:

1.3/2
                    <T>'Stream_Size / Ada.Streams.Stream_Element'Size

1.4/2
               The value of this attribute is of type
               <universal_integer> and is a multiple of
               Stream_Element'Size.

1.5/2
               Stream_Size may be specified for first subtypes via an
               attribute_definition_clause; the expression of such a
               clause shall be static, nonnegative, and a multiple of
               Stream_Element'Size.

1.a/3
          Aspect Description for Stream_Size: Size in bits used to
          represent elementary objects in a stream.

1.b/2
          Discussion: Stream_Size is a type-related attribute (see *note
          13.1::).

1.c/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0194-1AI05-0194-1>} The value of
          S'Stream_Size is unaffected by the presence or absence of any
          attribute_definition_clauses or aspect_specifications
          specifying the Read or Write attributes of any ancestor of S.
          S'Stream_Size is defined in terms of the behavior of the
          default implementations of S'Read and S'Write even if those
          default implementations are overridden.

                        _Implementation Advice_

1.6/2
{<AI95-00270-01AI95-00270-01>} If not specified, the value of
Stream_Size for an elementary type should be the number of bits that
corresponds to the minimum number of stream elements required by the
first subtype of the type, rounded up to the nearest factor or multiple
of the word size that is also a multiple of the stream element size.

1.d/2
          Implementation Advice: If not specified, the value of
          Stream_Size for an elementary type should be the number of
          bits that corresponds to the minimum number of stream elements
          required by the first subtype of the type, rounded up to the
          nearest factor or multiple of the word size that is also a
          multiple of the stream element size.

1.e/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00270-01AI95-00270-01>} This is Implementation
          Advice because we want to allow implementations to remain
          compatible with their Ada 95 implementations, which may have a
          different handling of the number of stream elements.  Users
          can always specify Stream_Size if they need a specific number
          of stream elements.

1.7/2
{<AI95-00270-01AI95-00270-01>} The recommended level of support for the
Stream_Size attribute is:

1.8/2
   * {<AI95-00270-01AI95-00270-01>} A Stream_Size clause should be
     supported for a discrete or fixed point type <T> if the specified
     Stream_Size is a multiple of Stream_Element'Size and is no less
     than the size of the first subtype of <T>, and no greater than the
     size of the largest type of the same elementary class (signed
     integer, modular integer, enumeration, ordinary fixed point, or
     decimal fixed point).

1.f/2
          Implementation Advice: The recommended level of support for
          the Stream_Size attribute should be followed.

1.g/2
          Ramification: There are no requirements beyond supporting
          confirming Stream_Size clauses for floating point and access
          types.  Floating point and access types usually only have a
          handful of defined formats, streaming anything else makes no
          sense for them.

1.h/2
          For discrete and fixed point types, this may require support
          for sizes other than the "natural" ones.  For instance, on a
          typical machine with 32-bit integers and a Stream_Element'Size
          of 8, setting Stream_Size to 24 must be supported.  This is
          required as such formats can be useful for interoperability
          with unusual machines, and there is no difficulty with the
          implementation (drop extra bits on output, sign extend on
          input).

                          _Static Semantics_

2
For every subtype S of a specific type <T>, the following attributes are
defined.

3
S'Write
               S'Write denotes a procedure with the following
               specification:

4/2
                    {<AI95-00441-01AI95-00441-01>} procedure S'Write(
                       <Stream> : not null access Ada.Streams.Root_Stream_Type'Class;
                       <Item> : in <T>)

5
               S'Write writes the value of <Item> to <Stream>.

6
S'Read
               S'Read denotes a procedure with the following
               specification:

7/2
                    {<AI95-00441-01AI95-00441-01>} procedure S'Read(
                       <Stream> : not null access Ada.Streams.Root_Stream_Type'Class;
                       <Item> : out <T>)

8
               S'Read reads the value of <Item> from <Stream>.

8.1/3
{<8652/00408652/0040>} {<AI95-00108-01AI95-00108-01>}
{<AI95-00444-01AI95-00444-01>} {<AI05-0192-1AI05-0192-1>} For an
untagged derived type, the Write (resp.  Read) attribute is inherited
according to the rules given in *note 13.1:: if the attribute is
[specified and] available for the parent type at the point where <T> is
declared.  For a tagged derived type, these attributes are not
inherited, but rather the default implementations are used.

8.a.1/3
          Proof: {<AI05-0192-1AI05-0192-1>} The inheritance rules of
          *note 13.1:: say that only specified or inherited aspects are
          inherited; we mention it again here as a clarification.

8.2/2
{<AI95-00444-01AI95-00444-01>} The default implementations of the Write
and Read attributes, where available, execute as follows:

9/3
{<8652/00408652/0040>} {<AI95-00108-01AI95-00108-01>}
{<AI95-00195-01AI95-00195-01>} {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>}
{<AI95-00270-01AI95-00270-01>} {<AI05-0139-2AI05-0139-2>} For elementary
types, Read reads (and Write writes) the number of stream elements
implied by the Stream_Size for the type <T>; the representation of those
stream elements is implementation defined.  For composite types, the
Write or Read attribute for each component is called in canonical order,
which is last dimension varying fastest for an array (unless the
convention of the array is Fortran, in which case it is first dimension
varying fastest), and positional aggregate order for a record.  Bounds
are not included in the stream if <T> is an array type.  If <T> is a
discriminated type, discriminants are included only if they have
defaults.  If <T> is a tagged type, the tag is not included.  For type
extensions, the Write or Read attribute for the parent type is called,
followed by the Write or Read attribute of each component of the
extension part, in canonical order.  For a limited type extension, if
the attribute of the parent type or any progenitor type of <T> is
available anywhere within the immediate scope of <T>, and the attribute
of the parent type or the type of any of the extension components is not
available at the freezing point of <T>, then the attribute of <T> shall
be directly specified.

9.a/2
          Implementation defined: The contents of the stream elements
          read and written by the Read and Write attributes of
          elementary types.

9.1/3
{<AI05-0023-1AI05-0023-1>} {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} If <T> is a
discriminated type and its discriminants have defaults, then S'Read
first reads the discriminants from the stream without modifying <Item>.
S'Read then creates an object of type <T> constrained by these
discriminants.  The value of this object is then converted to the
subtype of <Item> and is assigned to <Item>.  Finally, the Read
attribute for each nondiscriminant component of <Item> is called in
canonical order as described above.  Normal default initialization and
finalization take place for the created object.

9.b
          Reason: A discriminant with a default value is treated simply
          as a component of the object.  On the other hand, an array
          bound or a discriminant without a default value, is treated as
          "descriptor" or "dope" that must be provided in order to
          create the object and thus is logically separate from the
          regular components.  Such "descriptor" data are written by
          'Output and produced as part of the delivered result by the
          'Input function, but they are not written by 'Write nor read
          by 'Read.  A tag is like a discriminant without a default.

9.b.1/1
          {<8652/00408652/0040>} {<AI95-00108-01AI95-00108-01>} For
          limited type extensions, we must have a definition of 'Read
          and 'Write if the parent type has one, as it is possible to
          make a dispatching call through the attributes.  The rule is
          designed to automatically do the right thing in as many cases
          as possible.

9.b.2/1
          {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} Similarly, a type that has a
          progenitor with an available attribute must also have that
          attribute, for the same reason.

9.b.3/3
          {<AI05-0023-1AI05-0023-1>} The semantics of S'Read for a
          discriminated type with defaults involves an anonymous object
          so that the point of required initialization and finalization
          is well-defined, especially for objects that change shape and
          have controlled components.  The creation of this anonymous
          object often can be omitted (see the Implementation
          Permissions below).

9.c/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00195-01AI95-00195-01>} For a composite
          object, the subprogram denoted by the Write or Read attribute
          of each component is called, whether it is the default or is
          user-specified.  Implementations are allowed to optimize these
          calls (see below), presuming the properties of the attributes
          are preserved.

9.2/3
{<AI95-00270-01AI95-00270-01>} {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>}
Constraint_Error is raised by the predefined Write attribute if the
value of the elementary item is outside the range of values
representable using Stream_Size bits.  For a signed integer type, an
enumeration type, or a fixed point type, the range is unsigned only if
the integer code for the lower bound of the first subtype is
nonnegative, and a (symmetric) signed range that covers all values of
the first subtype would require more than Stream_Size bits; otherwise,
the range is signed.

10
For every subtype S'Class of a class-wide type <T>'Class:

11
S'Class'Write
               S'Class'Write denotes a procedure with the following
               specification:

12/2
                    {<AI95-00441-01AI95-00441-01>} procedure S'Class'Write(
                       <Stream> : not null access Ada.Streams.Root_Stream_Type'Class;
                       <Item>   : in <T>'Class)

13
               Dispatches to the subprogram denoted by the Write
               attribute of the specific type identified by the tag of
               Item.

14
S'Class'Read
               S'Class'Read denotes a procedure with the following
               specification:

15/2
                    {<AI95-00441-01AI95-00441-01>} procedure S'Class'Read(
                       <Stream> : not null access Ada.Streams.Root_Stream_Type'Class;
                       <Item> : out <T>'Class)

16
               Dispatches to the subprogram denoted by the Read
               attribute of the specific type identified by the tag of
               Item.

16.a
          Reason: It is necessary to have class-wide versions of Read
          and Write in order to avoid generic contract model violations;
          in a generic, we don't necessarily know at compile time
          whether a given type is specific or class-wide.

                          _Static Semantics_

18
For every subtype S of a specific type <T>, the following attributes are
defined.

19
S'Output
               S'Output denotes a procedure with the following
               specification:

20/2
                    {<AI95-00441-01AI95-00441-01>} procedure S'Output(
                       <Stream> : not null access Ada.Streams.Root_Stream_Type'Class;
                       <Item> : in <T>)

21
               S'Output writes the value of <Item> to <Stream>,
               including any bounds or discriminants.

21.a
          Ramification: Note that the bounds are included even for an
          array type whose first subtype is constrained.

22
S'Input
               S'Input denotes a function with the following
               specification:

23/2
                    {<AI95-00441-01AI95-00441-01>} function S'Input(
                       <Stream> : not null access Ada.Streams.Root_Stream_Type'Class)
                       return <T>

24
               S'Input reads and returns one value from <Stream>, using
               any bounds or discriminants written by a corresponding
               S'Output to determine how much to read.

25/3
{<8652/00408652/0040>} {<AI95-00108-01AI95-00108-01>}
{<AI95-00444-01AI95-00444-01>} {<AI05-0192-1AI05-0192-1>} For an
untagged derived type, the Output (resp.  Input) attribute is inherited
according to the rules given in *note 13.1:: if the attribute is
[specified and] available for the parent type at the point where <T> is
declared.  For a tagged derived type, these attributes are not
inherited, but rather the default implementations are used.

25.a/3
          Proof: {<AI05-0192-1AI05-0192-1>} See the note following the
          inheritance rules for the Write attribute, above.

25.1/2
{<AI95-00444-01AI95-00444-01>} The default implementations of the Output
and Input attributes, where available, execute as follows:

26/3
   * {<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>} If <T> is an array type, S'Output first
     writes the bounds, and S'Input first reads the bounds.  If <T> has
     discriminants without defaults, S'Output first writes the
     discriminants (using the Write attribute of the discriminant type
     for each), and S'Input first reads the discriminants (using the
     Read attribute of the discriminant type for each).

27/3
   * {<AI95-00195-01AI95-00195-01>} {<AI05-0023-1AI05-0023-1>} S'Output
     then calls S'Write to write the value of <Item> to the stream.
     S'Input then creates an object of type <T>, with the bounds or
     (when without defaults) the discriminants, if any, taken from the
     stream, passes it to S'Read, and returns the value of the object.
     If <T> has discriminants, then this object is unconstrained if and
     only the discriminants have defaults.  Normal default
     initialization and finalization take place for this object (see
     *note 3.3.1::, *note 7.6::, and *note 7.6.1::).

27.1/2
{<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} If <T> is an abstract type, then S'Input
is an abstract function.

27.a/2
          Ramification: For an abstract type <T>, S'Input can be called
          in a dispatching call, or passed to an abstract formal
          subprogram.  But it cannot be used in nondispatching contexts,
          because we don't allow objects of abstract types to exist.
          The designation of this function as abstract has no impact on
          descendants of <T>, as <T>'Input is not inherited for tagged
          types, but rather recreated (and the default implementation of
          <T>'Input calls <T>'Read, not the parent type's <T>'Input).
          Note that <T>'Input cannot be specified in this case, as any
          function with the proper profile is necessarily abstract, and
          specifying abstract subprograms in an
          attribute_definition_clause is illegal.

28
For every subtype S'Class of a class-wide type <T>'Class:

29
S'Class'Output
               S'Class'Output denotes a procedure with the following
               specification:

30/2
                    {<AI95-00441-01AI95-00441-01>} procedure S'Class'Output(
                       <Stream> : not null access Ada.Streams.Root_Stream_Type'Class;
                       <Item>   : in <T>'Class)

31/2
               {<AI95-00344-01AI95-00344-01>} First writes the external
               tag of <Item> to <Stream> (by calling
               String'Output(<Stream>, Tags.External_Tag(<Item>'Tag)) --
               see *note 3.9::) and then dispatches to the subprogram
               denoted by the Output attribute of the specific type
               identified by the tag.  Tag_Error is raised if the tag of
               Item identifies a type declared at an accessibility level
               deeper than that of S.

31.a/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00344-01AI95-00344-01>} We raise Tag_Error here
          for nested types as such a type cannot be successfully read
          with S'Class'Input, and it doesn't make sense to allow writing
          a value that cannot be read.

32
S'Class'Input
               S'Class'Input denotes a function with the following
               specification:

33/2
                    {<AI95-00441-01AI95-00441-01>} function S'Class'Input(
                       <Stream> : not null access Ada.Streams.Root_Stream_Type'Class)

               First reads the external tag from <Stream> and determines
               the corresponding internal tag (by calling
               Tags.Descendant_Tag(String'Input(<Stream>), S'Tag) which
               might raise Tag_Error -- see *note 3.9::) and then
               dispatches to the subprogram denoted by the Input
               attribute of the specific type identified by the internal
               tag; returns that result.  If the specific type
               identified by the internal tag is abstract,

{<AI95-00195-01AI95-00195-01>} {<AI05-0228-1AI05-0228-1>} In the default
implementation of Read and Input for a composite type, for each scalar
component that is a discriminant or that has an implicit initial value,
a check is made that the value returned by Read for the component
belongs to its subtype.  Constraint_Error is raised if this check fails.
For other scalar components, no check is made.  For each component that
is of an access type, if the implementation can detect that the value
returned by Read for the component is not a value of its subtype,
Constraint_Error is raised.  If the value is not a value of its subtype
and this error is not detected, the component has an abnormal value, and
erroneous execution can result (see *note 13.9.1::).  In the default
implementation of Read for a composite type with defaulted
discriminants, if the actual parameter of Read is constrained, a check
is made that the discriminants read from the stream are equal to those
of the actual parameter.  Constraint_Error is raised if this check
fails.

35.a/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0228-1AI05-0228-1>} The check for scalar
          components that have an implicit initial value is to preserve
          our Language Design Principle that all objects that have an
          implicit initial value do not become "deinitialized".

35.b/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0228-1AI05-0228-1>} A scalar component
          can have an implicit initial value if it has a
          default_expression, if the component's type has the
          Default_Value aspect specified, or if the component is that of
          an array type that has the Default_Component_Value aspect
          specified.

35.c/3
          To be honest: {<AI05-0228-1AI05-0228-1>} An implementation
          should always be able to detect the error for a null value
          read into a component of an access subtype with a null
          exclusion; the "if the implementation can detect" is intended
          to cover nonnull access values.

36/2
{<AI95-00195-01AI95-00195-01>} It is unspecified at which point and in
which order these checks are performed.  In particular, if

is unspecified how many stream elements have been read from the stream.

[Alternatively, each of the specific stream-oriented attributes may be
specified using an aspect_specification on any type_declaration, with
the aspect name being the corresponding attribute name.]  Each of the

38.b/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} Stream attributes
          (other than Input) are always null procedures for interface
          types (they have no components).  We need to allow explicit
          setting of the Read and Write attributes in order that the
          class-wide attributes like LI'Class'Input can be made
          available.  (In that case, any descendant of the interface
          type would require available attributes.)  But we don't allow
          any concrete implementation because these don't participate in
          extensions (unless the interface is the parent type).  If we
          didn't ban concrete implementations, the order of declaration
          of a pair of interfaces would become significant.  For
          example, if Int1 and Int2 are interfaces with concrete
          implementations of 'Read, then the following declarations
          would have different implementations for 'Read:

38.c/2
               type Con1 is new Int1 and Int2 with null record;
               type Con2 is new Int2 and Int1 with null record;

38.d/2
          This would violate our design principle that the order of the
          specification of the interfaces in a derived_type_definition
          doesn't matter.

38.e/2
          Ramification: The Input attribute cannot be specified for an
          interface.  As it is a function, a null procedure is
          impossible; a concrete function is not possible anyway as any
          function returning an abstract type must be abstract.  And we
          don't allow specifying stream attributes to be abstract
          subprograms.  This has no impact, as the availability of
          Int'Class'Input (where Int is a limited interface) depends on
          whether Int'Read (not Int'Input) is specified.  There is no
          reason to allow Int'Output to be specified, either, but there
          is equally no reason to disallow it, so we don't have a
          special rule for that.

38.f/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00195-01AI95-00195-01>} Limited types
          generally do not have default implementations of the
          stream-oriented attributes.  The rules defining when a
          stream-oriented attribute is available (see below) determine
          when an attribute of a limited type is in fact well defined
          and usable.  The rules are designed to maximize the number of
          cases in which the attributes are usable.  For instance, when
          the language provides a default implementation of an attribute
          for a limited type based on a specified attribute for the
          parent type, we want to be able to call that attribute.

39/2
{<AI95-00195-01AI95-00195-01>} A stream-oriented attribute for a subtype
of a specific type <T> is <available> at places where one of the
following conditions is true: 

40/2
   * <T> is nonlimited.

41/2
   * The attribute_designator is Read (resp.  Write) and <T> is a
     limited record extension, and the attribute Read (resp.  Write) is
     available for the parent type of <T> and for the types of all of
     the extension components.

41.a/2
          Reason: In this case, the language provides a well-defined
          default implementation, which we want to be able to call.

42/2
   * <T> is a limited untagged derived type, and the attribute was
     inherited for the type.

42.a/2
          Reason: Attributes are only inherited for untagged derived
          types, and surely we want to be able to call inherited
          attributes.

43/2
   * The attribute_designator is Input (resp.  Output), and <T> is a
     limited type, and the attribute Read (resp.  Write) is available
     for <T>.

43.a/2
          Reason: The default implementation of Input and Output are
          based on Read and Write; so if the implementation of Read or
          Write is good, so is the matching implementation of Input or
          Output.

44/2
   * The attribute has been specified via an
     attribute_definition_clause, and the attribute_definition_clause is
     visible.

44.a/2
          Reason: We always want to allow calling a specified attribute.
          But we don't want availability to break privacy.  Therefore,
          only attributes whose specification can be seen count.  Yes,
          we defined the visibility of an attribute_definition_clause
          (see *note 8.3::).

45/2
{<AI95-00195-01AI95-00195-01>} A stream-oriented attribute for a subtype
of a class-wide type <T>'Class is available at places where one of the
following conditions is true:

46/2
   * <T> is nonlimited;

47/2
   * the attribute has been specified via an
     attribute_definition_clause, and the attribute_definition_clause is
     visible; or

48/2
   * the corresponding attribute of <T> is available, provided that if
     <T> has a partial view, the corresponding attribute is available at
     the end of the visible part where <T> is declared.

48.a/2
          Reason: The rules are stricter for class-wide attributes
          because (for the default implementation) we must ensure that
          any specific attribute that might ever be dispatched to is
          available.  Because we require specification of attributes for
          extensions of limited parent types with available attributes,
          we can in fact know this.  Otherwise, we would not be able to
          use default class-wide attributes with limited types, a
          significant limitation.

49/4
{<AI95-00195-01AI95-00195-01>} {<AI12-0030-1AI12-0030-1>} An
attribute_reference for one of the stream-oriented attributes is illegal
unless the attribute is available at the place of the
attribute_reference.  Furthermore, an attribute_reference for <T>'Input
is illegal if <T> is an abstract type.  In addition to the places where
Legality Rules normally apply (see *note 12.3::), these rules also apply
in the private part of an instance of a generic unit.

49.a/2
          Discussion: Stream attributes always exist.  It is illegal to
          call them in some cases.  Having the attributes not be defined
          for some limited types would seem to be a cleaner solution,
          but it would lead to contract model problems for limited
          private types.

49.b/2
          <T>'Input is available for abstract types so that
          <T>'Class'Input is available.  But we certainly don't want to
          allow calls that could create an object of an abstract type.
          Remember that <T>'Class is never abstract, so the above
          legality rule doesn't apply to it.  We don't have to discuss
          whether the attribute is specified, as it cannot be: any
          function returning the type would have to be abstract, and we
          do not allow specifying an attribute with an abstract
          subprogram.

49.c/4
          To be honest: {<AI12-0030-1AI12-0030-1>} "These rules apply"
          refers to just this paragraph and not to the rest of the rules
          in this section.  This rule probably should have been a
          Legality Rule, but the word "illegal" should key the reader
          that this is a Legality Rule, no matter under what text
          heading it occurs.

49.1/4
{<AI12-0030-1AI12-0030-1>} Unless inherited from a parent type, if any,
for an untagged type having a task, protected, or explicitly limited
record part, the default implementation of each of the Read, Write,
Input, and Output attributes raises Program_Error and performs no other
action.

49.d/4
          Discussion: {<AI12-0030-1AI12-0030-1>} It might seem that
          there is no need to specify the behavior of the default
          implementation of a streaming attribute of, for example, a
          task type because there is no way that it can be invoked.  It
          is possible, however, to construct an example where such a
          stream attribute can be invoked.  This involves using a formal
          untagged limited derived type for which some streaming
          attribute is available (because it was explicitly specified
          for the ancestor type) and a corresponding actual type for
          which the attribute is unspecified (because the derivation
          occurred before the aspect was specified for the ancestor type
          and the specification was therefore not inherited).

50/3
{<AI95-00195-01AI95-00195-01>} {<AI05-0192-1AI05-0192-1>} In the
parameter_and_result_profiles for the default implementations of the
stream-oriented attributes, the subtype of the Item parameter is the
base subtype of <T> if <T> is a scalar type, and the first subtype
otherwise.  The same rule applies to the result of the Input attribute.

50.a/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0192-1AI05-0192-1>} An inherited stream
          attribute has a profile as determined by the rules for
          inheriting primitive subprograms (see *note 13.1:: and *note
          3.4::).

51/3
{<AI95-00195-01AI95-00195-01>} {<AI05-0007-1AI05-0007-1>} For an
attribute_definition_clause specifying one of these attributes, the
subtype of the <Item> parameter shall be the first subtype or the base
subtype if scalar, and the first subtype if not scalar.  The same rule
applies to the result of the Input function.

51.a/2
          Reason: This is to simplify implementation.

51.b/3
          Ramification: The view of the type at the point of the
          attribute_definition_clause determines whether the base
          subtype is allowed.  Thus, for a scalar type with a partial
          view (which is never scalar), whether the base subtype is
          allowed is determined by whether the
          attribute_definition_clause occurs before or after the full
          definition of the scalar type.

52/3
{<AI95-00366-01AI95-00366-01>} {<AI05-0065-1AI05-0065-1>} [A type is
said to <support external streaming> if Read and Write attributes are
provided for sending values of such a type between active partitions,
with Write marshalling the representation, and Read unmarshalling the
representation.]  A limited type supports external streaming only if it
has available Read and Write attributes.  A type with a part that is of
a nonremote access type supports external streaming only if that access
type or the type of some part that includes the access type component,
has Read and Write attributes that have been specified via an
attribute_definition_clause, and that attribute_definition_clause is
visible.  [An anonymous access type does not support external streaming.
]All other types (including remote access types, see *note E.2.2::)
support external streaming.

52.a/3
          Ramification: A limited type with a part that is of a
          nonremote access type needs to satisfy both rules.

type that is not library-level and whose tag has not been created, or
does not exist in the partition at the time of the call, execution is
erroneous.

53.a/2
          Ramification: The definition of Descendant_Tag prevents such a
          tag from being provided to T'Class'Input if T is a
          library-level type.  However, this rule is needed for nested
          tagged types.

54/1
{<8652/00408652/0040>} {<AI95-00108-01AI95-00108-01>} For every subtype
<S> of a language-defined nonlimited specific type <T>, the output
generated by S'Output or S'Write shall be readable by S'Input or S'Read,
respectively.  This rule applies across partitions if the implementation
conforms to the Distributed Systems Annex.

{<AI95-00195-01AI95-00195-01>} {<AI05-0092-1AI05-0092-1>} If
Constraint_Error is raised during a call to Read because of failure of
one the above checks, the implementation shall ensure that the
discriminants of the actual parameter of Read are not modified.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

56/3
{<AI95-00195-01AI95-00195-01>} {<AI05-0092-1AI05-0092-1>} The number of
calls performed by the predefined implementation of the stream-oriented
attributes on the Read and Write operations of the stream type is
unspecified.  An implementation may take advantage of this permission to
perform internal buffering.  However, all the calls on the Read and
Write operations of the stream type needed to implement an explicit
invocation of a stream-oriented attribute shall take place before this
invocation returns.  An explicit invocation is one appearing explicitly
in the program text, possibly through a generic instantiation (see *note
12.3::).

56.1/3
{<AI05-0023-1AI05-0023-1>} {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} If <T> is a
discriminated type and its discriminants have defaults, then in two
cases an execution of the default implementation of S'Read is not
required to create an anonymous object of type <T>: If the discriminant
values that are read in are equal to the corresponding discriminant
values of <Item>, then no object of type <T> need be created and <Item>
may be used instead.  If they are not equal and <Item> is a constrained
variable, then Constraint_Error may be raised at that point, before any
further values are read from the stream and before the object of type
<T> is created.

56.2/3
{<AI05-0023-1AI05-0023-1>} A default implementation of S'Input that
calls the default implementation of S'Read may create a constrained
anonymous object with discriminants that match those in the stream.

56.a/3
          Implementation Note: This allows the combined executions of
          S'Input and S'Read to create one object of type <T> instead of
          two.  If this option is exercised, then:

56.b/3
             * The discriminants are read from the stream by S'Input,
               not S'Read.

56.c/3
             * S'Input declares an object of type <T> constrained by the
               discriminants read from the stream, not an unconstrained
               object.

56.d/3
             * The discriminant values that S'Read would normally have
               read from the stream are read from Item instead.

56.e/3
             * The permissions of the preceding paragraph then apply and
               no object of type <T> need be created by the execution of
               S'Read.

     NOTES

57
     40  For a definite subtype S of a type <T>, only <T>'Write and
     <T>'Read are needed to pass an arbitrary value of the subtype
     through a stream.  For an indefinite subtype S of a type <T>,
     <T>'Output and <T>'Input will normally be needed, since <T>'Write
     and <T>'Read do not pass bounds, discriminants, or tags.

58
     41  User-specified attributes of S'Class are not inherited by other
     class-wide types descended from S.

          {<8652/00408652/0040>} {<AI95-00108-01AI95-00108-01>}
          Corrigendum: Clarified how the default implementation for
          stream attributes is determined (eliminating conflicting
          language).  The new wording provides that attributes for type
          extensions are created by composing the parent's attribute
          with those for the extension components if any.  If a program
          was written assuming that the extension components were not
          included in the stream (as in original Ada 95), it would fail
          to work in the language as corrected by the Corrigendum.

60.h/2
          {<AI95-00195-01AI95-00195-01>} Amendment Correction:
          Explicitly provided a permission that the number of calls to
          the underlying stream Read and Write operations may differ
          from the number determined by the canonical operations.  If
          Ada 95 code somehow depended on the number of calls to Read or
          Write, it could fail with an Ada 2005 implementation.  Such
          code is likely to be very rare; moreover, such code is really
          wrong, as the permission applies to Ada 95 as well.

60.i/2
          {<AI95-00270-01AI95-00270-01>} The Stream_Size attribute is
          new.  It allows specifying the number of bits that will be
          streamed for a type.  The Implementation Advice involving this
          also was changed; this is not incompatible because
          Implementation Advice does not have to be followed.

          Corrigendum: Limited types may have default constructed
          attributes if all of the parent and (for extensions) extension
          components have available attributes.  Ada 2005 adds the
          notion of availability to patch up some holes in the
          Corrigendum model.

          {<8652/00098652/0009>} {<AI95-00137-01AI95-00137-01>}
          Corrigendum: Added wording to specify that these are
          operational attributes.

60.l/2
          {<8652/00458652/0045>} {<AI95-00132-01AI95-00132-01>}
          Corrigendum: Clarified that End_Error is raised by the default
          implementation of Read and Input if the end of the stream is
          reached.  (The result could have been abnormal without this
          clarification, thus this is not an inconsistency, as the
          programmer could not have depended on the previous behavior.)

60.m/2
          {<AI95-00195-01AI95-00195-01>} Clarified that the default
          implementation of S'Input does normal initialization on the
          object that it passes to S'Read.

60.n/2
          {<AI95-00195-01AI95-00195-01>} Explicitly stated that what is
          read from a stream when a required check fails is unspecified.

60.o/2
          {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} Defined availability and
          default implementations for types with progenitors.

60.p/2
          {<AI95-00279-01AI95-00279-01>} Specified that Constraint_Error
          is raised if the internal tag retrieved for S'Class'Input is
          for some type not covered by S'Class or is abstract.  We also
          explicitly state that the program is erroneous if the tag has
          not been created or does not currently exist in the partition.
          (Ada 95 did not specify what happened in these cases; it's
          very unlikely to have provided some useful result, so this is
          not considered an inconsistency.)

60.q/2
          {<AI95-00344-01AI95-00344-01>} Added wording to support nested
          type extensions.  S'Input and S'Output always raise Tag_Error
          for such extensions, and such extensions were not permitted in
          Ada 95, so this is neither an extension nor an
          incompatibility.

60.r/2
          {<AI95-00366-01AI95-00366-01>} Defined <supports external
          streaming> to put all of the rules about "good" stream
          attributes in one place.  This is used for distribution and
          for defining pragma Pure.

60.s/2
          {<AI95-00441-01AI95-00441-01>} Added the not null qualifier to
          the first parameter of all of the stream attributes, so that
          the semantics doesn't change between Ada 95 and Ada 2005.
          This change is compatible, because mode conformance is
          required for subprograms specified as stream attributes, and
          null_exclusions are not considered for mode conformance.

60.t/2
          {<AI95-00444-01AI95-00444-01>} Improved the wording to make it
          clear that we don't define the default implementations of
          attributes that cannot be called (that is, aren't
          "available").  Also clarified when inheritance takes place.

60.u/3
          {<AI05-0039-1AI05-0039-1>} Correction: Added a requirement
          that stream attributes be specified by a static subprogram
          name rather than a dynamic expression.  Expressions cannot
          provide any useful functionality because of the freezing
          rules, and the possibility of them complicates
          implementations.  Only pathological programs should be
          affected.

60.v/3
          {<AI05-0007-1AI05-0007-1>} Correction: Stream attributes for
          scalar types can be specified with subprograms that take the
          first subtype as well as the base type.  This eliminates
          confusion about which subtype is appropriate for attributes
          specified for partial views whose full type is a scalar type.
          It also eliminates a common user error (forgetting 'Base).

60.w/3
          {<AI05-0023-1AI05-0023-1>} Correction: Corrected the
          definition of the default version S'Read and S'Input to be
          well-defined if S is a discriminated type with defaulted
          discriminants and some components require initialization
          and/or finalizations.

60.x/3
          {<AI05-0065-1AI05-0065-1>} Correction: Defined remote access
          types to support external streaming, since that is their
          purpose.

60.y/3
          {<AI05-0109-1AI05-0109-1>} Correction: Removed a misleading
          phrase which implies that Constraint_Error is raised for
          internal tags of the wrong type, when Tag_Error should be
          raised for such tags.

60.z/3
          {<AI05-0139-2AI05-0139-2>} Clarified that arrays with
          convention Fortran are written in column-major order, rather
          then row-major order.  This is necessary in order that
          streaming of Fortran arrays is efficient.

60.aa/3
          {<AI05-0192-1AI05-0192-1>} Correction: Clarified that the
          profile of an inherited stream attribute is as defined for an
          inherited primitive subprogram, while the default
          implementation of the same attribute might have a different
          profile.

60.bb/3
          {<AI05-0194-1AI05-0194-1>} Correction: Clarified that
          Stream_Size has no effect on and is not effected by
          user-defined stream attributes.

                       _Extensions to Ada 2012_

60.cc/4
          {<AI12-0106-1AI12-0106-1>} Corrigendum: Defined how to specify
          a class-wide stream-oriented attribute using an
          aspect_specification.  It was always intended that this was
          possible, but the method was not clear, as a class-wide type
          never has an explicit declaration.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2012_

60.dd/4
          {<AI12-0030-1AI12-0030-1>} Corrigendum: Defined the runtime
          effect of stream attributes for untagged limited types, as
          there is a weird corner case where they can be called.  We
          don't specify this as an inconsistency, as it doesn't make
          semantic sense to stream a task, and nothing useful could have
          been done with that, so it should not exist in any programs.

60.ee/4
          {<AI12-0106-1AI12-0106-1>} Corrigendum: Clarified that the
          same Legality Rules apply when a stream-oriented attribute is
          specified via an aspect_specification as applied when it is
          specified via an attribute_definition_clause.

13.14 Freezing Rules
====================

1/3
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} [This subclause defines a place in the
program text where each declared entity becomes "frozen."  A use of an
entity, such as a reference to it by name, or (for a type) an expression
of the type, causes freezing of the entity in some contexts, as
described below.  The Legality Rules forbid certain kinds of uses of an
entity in the region of text where it is frozen.]

1.a
          Reason: This concept has two purposes: a compile-time one and
          a run-time one.

1.b
          The compile-time purpose of the freezing rules comes from the
          fact that the evaluation of static expressions depends on
          overload resolution, and overload resolution sometimes depends
          on the value of a static expression.  (The dependence of
          static evaluation upon overload resolution is obvious.  The
          dependence in the other direction is more subtle.  There are
          three rules that require static expressions in contexts that
          can appear in declarative places: The expression in an
          attribute_designator shall be static.  In a record aggregate,
          variant-controlling discriminants shall be static.  In an
          array aggregate with more than one named association, the
          choices shall be static.  The compiler needs to know the value
          of these expressions in order to perform overload resolution
          and legality checking.)  We wish to allow a compiler to
          evaluate static expressions when it sees them in a single pass
          over the compilation_unit.  The freezing rules ensure that.

1.c
          The run-time purpose of the freezing rules is called the
          "linear elaboration model."  This means that declarations are
          elaborated in the order in which they appear in the program
          text, and later elaborations can depend on the results of
          earlier ones.  The elaboration of the declarations of certain
          entities requires run-time information about the
          implementation details of other entities.  The freezing rules
          ensure that this information has been calculated by the time
          it is used.  For example, suppose the initial value of a
          constant is the result of a function call that takes a
          parameter of type <T>.  In order to pass that parameter, the
          size of type <T> has to be known.  If <T> is composite, that
          size might be known only at run time.

1.d
          (Note that in these discussions, words like "before" and
          "after" generally refer to places in the program text, as
          opposed to times at run time.)

1.e
          Discussion: The "implementation details" we're talking about
          above are:

1.f
             * For a tagged type, the implementations of all the
               primitive subprograms of the type -- that is (in the
               canonical implementation model), the contents of the type
               descriptor, which contains pointers to the code for each
               primitive subprogram.

1.g
             * For a type, the full type declaration of any parts
               (including the type itself) that are private.

1.h
             * For a deferred constant, the full constant declaration,
               which gives the constant's value.  (Since this
               information necessarily comes after the constant's type
               and subtype are fully known, there's no need to worry
               about its type or subtype.)

1.i
             * For any entity, representation information specified by
               the user via representation items.  Most representation
               items are for types or subtypes; however, various other
               kinds of entities, such as objects and subprograms, are
               possible.

1.j/3
          {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} Similar issues arise for incomplete
          types.  However, we do not use freezing to prevent premature
          access; incomplete types have different, more severe,
          restrictions.  Similar issues also arise for subprograms,
          protected operations, tasks and generic units.  However, we do
          not use freezing to prevent premature access for those,
          either; *note 3.11:: prevents problems with run-time
          Elaboration_Checks.  Even so, freezing is used for these
          entities to prevent giving representation items too late (that
          is, after uses that require representation information, such
          as calls).

                     _Language Design Principles_

1.k
          An evaluable construct should freeze anything that's needed to
          evaluate it.

1.l
          However, if the construct is not evaluated where it appears,
          let it cause freezing later, when it is evaluated.  This is
          the case for default_expressions and default_names.  (Formal
          parameters, generic formal parameters, and components can have
          default_expressions or default_names.)

1.m
          The compiler should be allowed to evaluate static expressions
          without knowledge of their context.  (I.e.  there should not
          be any special rules for static expressions that happen to
          occur in a context that requires a static expression.)

1.n
          Compilers should be allowed to evaluate static expressions
          (and record the results) using the run-time representation of
          the type.  For example, suppose Color'Pos(Red) = 1, but the
          internal code for Red is 37.  If the value of a static
          expression is Red, some compilers might store 1 in their
          symbol table, and other compilers might store 37.  Either
          compiler design should be feasible.

1.o
          Compilers should never be required to detect erroneousness or
          exceptions at compile time (although it's very nice if they
          do).  This implies that we should not require code-generation
          for a nonstatic expression of type <T> too early, even if we
          can prove that that expression will be erroneous, or will
          raise an exception.

1.p
          Here's an example (modified from AI83-00039, Example 3):

1.q
               type T is
                   record
                       ...
                   end record;
               function F return T;
               function G(X : T) return Boolean;
               Y : Boolean := G(F); --< doesn't force T in Ada 83>
               for T use
                   record
                       ...
                   end record;

1.r
          AI83-00039 says this is legal.  Of course, it raises
          Program_Error because the function bodies aren't elaborated
          yet.  A one-pass compiler has to generate code for an
          expression of type T before it knows the representation of T.
          Here's a similar example, which AI83-00039 also says is legal:

1.s
               package P is
                   type T is private;
                   function F return T;
                   function G(X : T) return Boolean;
                   Y : Boolean := G(F); --< doesn't force T in Ada 83>
               private
                   type T is
                       record
                           ...
                       end record;
               end P;

1.t
          If T's size were dynamic, that size would be stored in some
          compiler-generated dope; this dope would be initialized at the
          place of the full type declaration.  However, the generated
          code for the function calls would most likely allocate a temp
          of the size specified by the dope <before> checking for
          Program_Error.  That dope would contain uninitialized junk,
          resulting in disaster.  To avoid doing that, the compiler
          would have to determine, at compile time, that the expression
          will raise Program_Error.

1.u
          This is silly.  If we're going to require compilers to detect
          the exception at compile time, we might as well formulate the
          rule as a legality rule.

1.v
          Compilers should not be required to generate code to load the
          value of a variable before the address of the variable has
          been determined.

1.w
          After an entity has been frozen, no further requirements may
          be placed on its representation (such as by a representation
          item or a full_type_declaration).

2
The <freezing> of an entity occurs at one or more places (<freezing
points>) in the program text where the representation for the entity has
to be fully determined.  Each entity is frozen from its first freezing
point to the end of the program text (given the ordering of compilation
units defined in *note 10.1.4::).

2.a
          Ramification: The "representation" for a subprogram includes
          its calling convention and means for referencing the
          subprogram body, either a "link-name" or specified address.
          It does not include the code for the subprogram body itself,
          nor its address if a link-name is used to reference the body.

2.1/3
{<AI05-0019-1AI05-0019-1>} {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} This subclause
also defines a place in the program text where the profile of each
declared callable entity becomes <frozen>.  A use of a callable entity
causes freezing of its profile in some contexts, as described below.  At
the place where the profile of a callable entity becomes frozen, the
entity itself becomes frozen.

3/4
{<8652/00148652/0014>} {<AI05-0017-1AI05-0017-1>}
{<AI05-0019-1AI05-0019-1>} {<AI12-0103-1AI12-0103-1>} The end of a
declarative_part, protected_body, or a declaration of a library package
or generic library package, causes <freezing> of each entity and profile
declared within it, except for incomplete types.  A proper_body,
body_stub, or entry_body causes freezing of each entity and profile
declared before it within the same declarative_part that is not an
incomplete type; it only causes freezing of an incomplete type if the
body is within the immediate scope of the incomplete type.

3.a
          Discussion: This is worded carefully to handle nested packages
          and private types.  Entities declared in a nested
          package_specification will be frozen by some containing
          construct.

3.b/3
          {<AI05-0017-1AI05-0017-1>} An incomplete type declared in the
          private part of a library package_specification can be
          completed in the body.  For other incomplete types (and in the
          bodies of library packages), the completion of the type will
          be frozen at the end of the package or declarative_part, and
          that will freeze the incomplete view as well.

3.b.1/3
          {<AI05-0017-1AI05-0017-1>} The reason we have to worry about
          freezing of incomplete types is to prevent premature uses of
          the types in dispatching calls.  Such uses may need access to
          the tag of the type, and the type has to be frozen to know
          where the tag is stored.

3.c/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} The part about bodies
          does not say <immediately> within.  A renaming-as-body does
          not have this property.  Nor does an imported body

3.d
          Reason: The reason bodies cause freezing is because we want
          proper_bodies and body_stubs to be interchangeable -- one
          should be able to move a proper_body to a subunit, and
          vice-versa, without changing the semantics.  Clearly, anything
          that should cause freezing should do so even if it's inside a
          proper_body.  However, if we make it a body_stub, then the
          compiler can't see that thing that should cause freezing.  So
          we make body_stubs cause freezing, just in case they contain
          something that should cause freezing.  But that means we need
          to do the same for proper_bodies.

3.e
          Another reason for bodies to cause freezing, there could be an
          added implementation burden if an entity declared in an
          enclosing declarative_part is frozen within a nested body,
          since some compilers look at bodies after looking at the
          containing declarative_part.

3.f/4
          {<AI05-0177-1AI05-0177-1>} {<AI12-0103-1AI12-0103-1>} Note
          that null_procedure_declarations and
          expression_function_declarations (even when those are used as
          completions), as well as generic_instantiations and
          renames-as-bodies do not necessarily cause freezing; each have
          their own specific rules.

3.g/4
          Ramification: {<AI12-0103-1AI12-0103-1>} Note that the rule
          about proper bodies being freezing only applies in
          declarative_parts.  All of the kinds of bodies (see *note
          3.11.1:: - keep in mind the difference from bodys) that are
          allowed in a package specification have their own freezing
          rules, so they don't need to be covered by the above rule.

4/1
{<8652/00468652/0046>} {<AI95-00106-01AI95-00106-01>} A construct that
(explicitly or implicitly) references an entity can cause the <freezing>
of the entity, as defined by subsequent paragraphs.  At the place where
a construct causes freezing, each name, expression,
implicit_dereference[, or range] within the construct causes freezing:

4.a
          Ramification: Note that in the sense of this paragraph, a
          subtype_mark "references" the denoted subtype, but not the
          type.

5/3
   * {<AI05-0213-1AI05-0213-1>} The occurrence of a
     generic_instantiation causes freezing, except that a name which is
     a generic actual parameter whose corresponding generic formal
     parameter is a formal incomplete type (see *note 12.5.1::) does not
     cause freezing.  In addition, if a parameter of the instantiation
     is defaulted, the default_expression or default_name for that
     parameter causes freezing.

5.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0213-1AI05-0213-1>} Thus, an actual
          parameter corresponding to a formal incomplete type parameter
          may denote an incomplete or private type which is not
          completely defined at the point of the generic_instantiation.

5.1/4
   * {<AI12-0103-1AI12-0103-1>} {<AI12-0157-1AI12-0157-1>} At the
     occurrence of an expression_function_declaration that is a
     completion, the return expression of the expression function causes
     freezing.

5.b/4
          Reason: {<AI12-0103-1AI12-0103-1>} This rule prevents calls
          through access values to an expression that might have
          unfrozen parts.  Typically, elaboration checks and other
          freezing rules prevent this, but in this case the completion
          is elaborated and since this is not a body it does not by
          itself freeze anything that precedes it.

5.2/4
   * {<AI12-0132-1AI12-0132-1>} {<AI12-0157-1AI12-0157-1>} At the
     occurrence of a renames-as-body whose <callable_entity_>name
     denotes an expression function, the return expression of the
     expression function causes freezing.

6
   * The occurrence of an object_declaration that has no corresponding
     completion causes freezing.

6.a
          Ramification: Note that this does not include a
          formal_object_declaration.

7
   * The declaration of a record extension causes freezing of the parent
     subtype.

7.a
          Ramification: This combined with another rule specifying that
          primitive subprogram declarations shall precede freezing
          ensures that all descendants of a tagged type implement all of
          its dispatching operations.

7.b/2
          {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} The declaration of a private
          extension does not cause freezing.  The freezing is deferred
          until the full type declaration, which will necessarily be for
          a record extension, task, or protected type (the latter only
          for a limited private extension derived from an interface).

7.1/2
   * {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} The declaration of a record
     extension, interface type, task unit, or protected unit causes
     freezing of any progenitor types specified in the declaration.

7.b.1/2
          Reason: This rule has the same purpose as the one above:
          ensuring that all descendants of an interface tagged type
          implement all of its dispatching operations.  As with the
          previous rule, a private extension does not freeze its
          progenitors; the full type declaration (which must have the
          same progenitors) will do that.

7.b.2/2
          Ramification: An interface type can be a parent as well as a
          progenitor; these rules are similar so that the location of an
          interface in a record extension does not have an effect on the
          freezing of the interface type.

7.2/3
   * {<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>} At the freezing point of the entity
     associated with an aspect_specification, any expressions or names
     within the aspect_specification cause freezing.  Any static
     expressions within an aspect_specification also cause freezing at
     the end of the immediately enclosing declaration list.

8/4
{<8652/00468652/0046>} {<AI95-00106-01AI95-00106-01>}
{<AI05-0177-1AI05-0177-1>} {<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>}
{<AI05-0157-1AI05-0157-1>} A static expression (other than within an
aspect_specification) causes freezing where it occurs.  An object name
or nonstatic expression causes freezing where it occurs, unless the name
or expression is part of a default_expression, a default_name, the
return expression of an expression function, an aspect_specification, or
a per-object expression of a component's constraint, in which case, the
freezing occurs later as part of another construct or at the freezing
point of an associated entity.

8.1/3
{<8652/00468652/0046>} {<AI95-00106-01AI95-00106-01>}
{<AI05-0019-1AI05-0019-1>} An implicit call freezes the same entities
and profiles that would be frozen by an explicit call.  This is true
even if the implicit call is removed via implementation permissions.

8.2/1
{<8652/00468652/0046>} {<AI95-00106-01AI95-00106-01>} If an expression
is implicitly converted to a type or subtype <T>, then at the place
where the expression causes freezing, <T> is frozen.

9
The following rules define which entities are frozen at the place where
a construct causes freezing:

10
   * At the place where an expression causes freezing, the type of the
     expression is frozen, unless the expression is an enumeration
     literal used as a discrete_choice of the array_aggregate (*note
     4.3.3: S0113.) of an enumeration_representation_clause (*note 13.4:
     S0311.).

10.a
          Reason: We considered making enumeration literals never cause
          freezing, which would be more upward compatible, but examples
          like the variant record aggregate (Discrim => Red, ...)
          caused us to change our mind.  Furthermore, an enumeration
          literal is a static expression, so the implementation should
          be allowed to represent it using its representation.

10.b
          Ramification: The following pathological example was legal in
          Ada 83, but is illegal in Ada 95:

10.c
               package P1 is
                   type T is private;
                   package P2 is
                       type Composite(D : Boolean) is
                           record
                               case D is
                                   when False => Cf : Integer;
                                   when True  => Ct : T;
                               end case;
                           end record;
                   end P2;
                   X : Boolean := P2."="( (False,1), (False,1) );
               private
                   type T is array(1..Func_Call) of Integer;
               end;

10.d
          In Ada 95, the declaration of X freezes Composite (because it
          contains an expression of that type), which in turn freezes T
          (even though Ct does not exist in this particular case).  But
          type T is not completely defined at that point, violating the
          rule that a type shall be completely defined before it is
          frozen.  In Ada 83, on the other hand, there is no occurrence
          of the name T, hence no forcing occurrence of T.

10.1/4
   * {<AI05-0019-1AI05-0019-1>} {<AI05-0177-1AI05-0177-1>}
     {<AI12-0157-1AI12-0157-1>} At the place where a function call
     causes freezing, the profile of the function is frozen.
     Furthermore, if a parameter of the call is defaulted, the
     default_expression for that parameter causes freezing.  If the
     function call is to an expression function, the return expression
     of the expression function causes freezing.

10.e/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0019-1AI05-0019-1>} This is the important rule
          for profile freezing: a call freezes the profile.  That's
          because generating the call will need to know how the
          parameters are passed, and that will require knowing details
          of the types.  Other uses of subprograms do not need to know
          about the parameters, and thus only freeze the subprogram, and
          not the profile.

10.f/3
          Note that we don't need to consider procedure or entry calls,
          since a body freezes everything that precedes it, and the end
          of a declarative part freezes everything in the declarative
          part.

10.g/4
          Ramification: {<AI05-0177-1AI05-0177-1>}
          {<AI12-0103-1AI12-0103-1>} {<AI12-0157-1AI12-0157-1>} Freezing
          of the return expression of an expression function only needs
          to be considered when the expression function is in the same
          compilation unit and there are no intervening bodys; the end
          of a declarative_part or library package freezes everything in
          it, and a body freezes everything declared before it.

10.2/4
   * {<AI05-0019-1AI05-0019-1>} {<AI05-0177-1AI05-0177-1>}
     {<AI05-0296-1AI05-0296-1>} {<AI12-0157-1AI12-0157-1>} At the place
     where a generic_instantiation causes freezing of a callable entity,
     the profile of that entity is frozen unless the formal subprogram
     corresponding to the callable entity has a parameter or result of a
     formal untagged incomplete type; if the callable entity is an
     expression function, the return expression of the expression
     function causes freezing.

10.h/3
          Reason: Elaboration of the generic might call the actual for
          one of its formal subprograms, so we need to know the profile
          and (for an expression function) expression.

10.3/4
   * {<AI05-0177-1AI05-0177-1>} {<AI12-0157-1AI12-0157-1>} At the place
     where a use of the Access or Unchecked_Access attribute whose
     prefix denotes an expression function causes freezing, the return
     expression of the expression function causes freezing.

10.i/3
          Reason: This is needed to avoid calls to unfrozen expressions.
          Consider:

10.j/3
               package Pack is

10.k/3
                  type Flub is range 0 .. 100;

10.l/3
                  function Foo (A : in Natural) return Natural is
                     (A + Flub'Size); -- <The expression is not frozen here.>

10.m/4
               {<AI12-0005-1AI12-0005-1>}    type Bar is access function (A : in Natural) return Natural;

10.n/3
                  P : Bar := Foo'Access; -- <(A)>

10.o/3
                  Val : Natural := P.all(5); -- <(B)>

10.p/3
               end Pack;

10.q/3
          If point (A) did not freeze the expression of Foo (which
          freezes Flub), then the call at point (B) would be depending
          on the aspects of the unfrozen type Flub.  That would be bad.

11
   * At the place where a name causes freezing, the entity denoted by
     the name is frozen, unless the name is a prefix of an expanded
     name; at the place where an object name causes freezing, the
     nominal subtype associated with the name is frozen.

11.a/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} This only matters
          in the presence of deferred constants or access types; an
          object_declaration other than a deferred constant declaration
          causes freezing of the nominal subtype, plus all component
          junk.

11.b/1
          <This paragraph was deleted.>{<8652/00468652/0046>}
          {<AI95-00106-01AI95-00106-01>}

11.1/1
   * {<8652/00468652/0046>} {<AI95-00106-01AI95-00106-01>} At the place
     where an implicit_dereference causes freezing, the nominal subtype
     associated with the implicit_dereference is frozen.

11.c/2
          Discussion: This rule ensures that X.D freezes the same
          entities that X.all.D does.  Note that an implicit_dereference
          is neither a name nor expression by itself, so it isn't
          covered by other rules.

12
   * [ At the place where a range causes freezing, the type of the range
     is frozen.]

12.a
          Proof: This is consequence of the facts that expressions
          freeze their type, and the Range attribute is defined to be
          equivalent to a pair of expressions separated by "..".}

13
   * At the place where an allocator causes freezing, the designated
     subtype of its type is frozen.  If the type of the allocator is a
     derived type, then all ancestor types are also frozen.

13.a
          Ramification: Allocators also freeze the named subtype, as a
          consequence of other rules.

13.b
          The ancestor types are frozen to prevent things like this:

13.c
               type Pool_Ptr is access System.Storage_Pools.Root_Storage_Pool'Class;
               function F return Pool_Ptr;

13.d
               package P is
                   type A1 is access Boolean;
                   type A2 is new A1;
                   type A3 is new A2;
                   X : A3 := new Boolean; --< Don't know what pool yet!>
                   for A1'Storage_Pool use F.all;
               end P;

13.e
          This is necessary because derived access types share their
          parent's pool.

14/3
   * {<AI05-0019-1AI05-0019-1>} At the place where a profile is frozen,
     each subtype of the profile is frozen.  If the corresponding
     callable entity is a member of an entry family, the index subtype
     of the family is frozen.

14.a/3
          <This paragraph was deleted.>

15
   * At the place where a subtype is frozen, its type is frozen.  At the
     place where a type is frozen, any expressions or names within the
     full type definition cause freezing; the first subtype, and any
     component subtypes, index subtypes, and parent subtype of the type
     are frozen as well.  For a specific tagged type, the corresponding
     class-wide type is frozen as well.  For a class-wide type, the
     corresponding specific type is frozen as well.

15.a
          Ramification: Freezing a type needs to freeze its first
          subtype in order to preserve the property that the
          subtype-specific aspects of statically matching subtypes are
          the same.

15.b
          Freezing an access type does not freeze its designated
          subtype.

15.1/3
   * {<AI95-00341-01AI95-00341-01>} {<AI05-0019-1AI05-0019-1>} At the
     place where a specific tagged type is frozen, the primitive
     subprograms of the type are frozen.  At the place where a type is
     frozen, any subprogram named in an attribute_definition_clause for
     the type is frozen.

15.c/2
          Reason: We have a language design principle that all of the
          details of a specific tagged type are known at its freezing
          point.  But that is only true if the primitive subprograms are
          frozen at this point as well.  Late changes of Import and
          address clauses violate the principle.

15.d/2
          Implementation Note: This rule means that no implicit call to
          Initialize or Adjust can freeze a subprogram (the type and
          thus subprograms would have been frozen at worst at the same
          point).

15.e/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0019-1AI05-0019-1>} The second sentence is
          the rule that makes it possible to check that only subprograms
          with convention Ada are specified in
          attribute_definition_clauses without jumping through hoops.

                           _Legality Rules_

16
[The explicit declaration of a primitive subprogram of a tagged type
shall occur before the type is frozen (see *note 3.9.2::).]

16.a
          Reason: This rule is needed because (1) we don't want people
          dispatching to things that haven't been declared yet, and (2)
          we want to allow tagged type descriptors to be static
          (allocated statically, and initialized to link-time-known
          symbols).  Suppose T2 inherits primitive P from T1, and then
          overrides P. Suppose P is called <before> the declaration of
          the overriding P. What should it dispatch to?  If the answer
          is the new P, we've violated the first principle above.  If
          the answer is the old P, we've violated the second principle.
          (A call to the new one necessarily raises Program_Error, but
          that's beside the point.)

16.b
          Note that a call upon a dispatching operation of type <T> will
          freeze <T>.

16.c
          We considered applying this rule to all derived types, for
          uniformity.  However, that would be upward incompatible, so we
          rejected the idea.  As in Ada 83, for an untagged type, the
          above call upon P will call the old P (which is arguably
          confusing).

16.d/3
          To be honest: {<AI05-0222-1AI05-0222-1>} This rule only
          applies to "original" declarations and not to the completion
          of a primitive subprogram, even though a completion is
          technically an explicit declaration, and it may declare a
          primitive subprogram.

17
[A type shall be completely defined before it is frozen (see *note
3.11.1:: and *note 7.3::).]

18
[The completion of a deferred constant declaration shall occur before
the constant is frozen (see *note 7.4::).]

18.a/3
          Proof: {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>}
          {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} The above Legality Rules are stated
          "officially" in the referenced subclauses.

19/1
{<8652/00098652/0009>} {<AI95-00137-01AI95-00137-01>} An operational or
representation item that directly specifies an aspect of an entity shall
appear before the entity is frozen (see *note 13.1::).

19.a/1
          Discussion: {<8652/00098652/0009>}
          {<AI95-00137-01AI95-00137-01>} From RM83-13.1(7).  The wording
          here forbids freezing within the aspect_clause itself, which
          was not true of the Ada 83 wording.  The wording of this rule
          is carefully written to work properly for type-related
          representation items.  For example, an
          enumeration_representation_clause (*note 13.4: S0311.) is
          illegal after the type is frozen, even though the _clause
          refers to the first subtype.

19.a.1/2
          {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} The above Legality Rule is
          stated for types and subtypes in *note 13.1::, but the rule
          here covers all other entities as well.

19.b/2
          <This paragraph was deleted.>{<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>}

19.c
          Discussion: Here's an example that illustrates when freezing
          occurs in the presence of defaults:

19.d
               type T is ...;
               function F return T;
               type R is
                   record
                       C : T := F;
                       D : Boolean := F = F;
                   end record;
               X : R;

19.e
          Since the elaboration of R's declaration does not allocate
          component C, there is no need to freeze C's subtype at that
          place.  Similarly, since the elaboration of R does not
          evaluate the default_expression "F = F", there is no need to
          freeze the types involved at that point.  However, the
          declaration of X <does> need to freeze these things.  Note
          that even if component C did not exist, the elaboration of the
          declaration of X would still need information about T -- even
          though D is not of type T, its default_expression requires
          that information.

19.f/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} Although we define
          freezing in terms of the program text as a whole (i.e.  after
          applying the rules of Clause *note 10::), the freezing rules
          actually have no effect beyond compilation unit boundaries.

19.g/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} That is important, because
          Clause *note 10:: allows some implementation definedness in
          the order of things, and we don't want the freezing rules to
          be implementation defined.

19.h
          Ramification: These rules also have no effect in statements --
          they only apply within a single declarative_part,
          package_specification, task_definition, protected_definition,
          or protected_body.

19.i
          Implementation Note: An implementation may choose to generate
          code for default_expressions and default_names in line at the
          place of use.  Alternatively, an implementation may choose to
          generate thunks (subprograms implicitly generated by the
          compiler) for evaluation of defaults.  Thunk generation
          cannot, in general, be done at the place of the declaration
          that includes the default.  Instead, they can be generated at
          the first freezing point of the type(s) involved.  (It is
          impossible to write a purely one-pass Ada compiler, for
          various reasons.  This is one of them -- the compiler needs to
          store a representation of defaults in its symbol table, and
          then walk that representation later, no earlier than the first
          freezing point.)

19.j
          In implementation terms, the linear elaboration model can be
          thought of as preventing uninitialized dope.  For example, the
          implementation might generate dope to contain the size of a
          private type.  This dope is initialized at the place where the
          type becomes completely defined.  It cannot be initialized
          earlier, because of the order-of-elaboration rules.  The
          freezing rules prevent elaboration of earlier declarations
          from accessing the size dope for a private type before it is
          initialized.

19.k
          *note 2.8:: overrides the freezing rules in the case of
          unrecognized pragmas.

19.l/1
          {<8652/00098652/0009>} {<AI95-00137-01AI95-00137-01>} An
          aspect_clause for an entity should most certainly <not> be a
          freezing point for the entity.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

20/2
{<AI95-00279-01AI95-00279-01>} The tag (see *note 3.9::) of a tagged
type T is created at the point where T is frozen.

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 83_

20.a
          RM83 defines a forcing occurrence of a type as follows: "A
          forcing occurrence is any occurrence [of the name of the type,
          subtypes of the type, or types or subtypes with subcomponents
          of the type] other than in a type or subtype declaration, a
          subprogram specification, an entry declaration, a deferred
          constant declaration, a pragma, or a representation_clause for
          the type itself.  In any case, an occurrence within an
          expression is always forcing."

20.b
          It seems like the wording allows things like this:

20.c
               type A is array(Integer range 1..10) of Boolean;
               subtype S is Integer range A'Range;
                   --< not forcing for A>

20.d
          Occurrences within pragmas can cause freezing in Ada 95.
          (Since such pragmas are ignored in Ada 83, this will probably
          fix more bugs than it causes.)

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

20.e
          In Ada 95, generic_formal_parameter_declarations do not
          normally freeze the entities from which they are defined.  For
          example:

20.f
               package Outer is
                   type T is tagged limited private;
                   generic
                       type T2 is
                           new T with private; --< Does not freeze T>
                                               --< in Ada 95.>
                   package Inner is
                       ...
                   end Inner;
               private
                   type T is ...;
               end Outer;

20.g
          This is important for the usability of generics.  The above
          example uses the Ada 95 feature of formal derived types.
          Examples using the kinds of formal parameters already allowed
          in Ada 83 are well known.  See, for example, comments 83-00627
          and 83-00688.  The extensive use expected for formal derived
          types makes this issue even more compelling than described by
          those comments.  Unfortunately, we are unable to solve the
          problem that explicit_generic_actual_parameters cause
          freezing, even though a package equivalent to the instance
          would not cause freezing.  This is primarily because such an
          equivalent package would have its body in the body of the
          containing program unit, whereas an instance has its body
          right there.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

20.h
          The concept of freezing is based on Ada 83's concept of
          "forcing occurrences."  The first freezing point of an entity
          corresponds roughly to the place of the first forcing
          occurrence, in Ada 83 terms.  The reason for changing the
          terminology is that the new rules do not refer to any
          particular "occurrence" of a name of an entity.  Instead, we
          refer to "uses" of an entity, which are sometimes implicit.

20.i
          In Ada 83, forcing occurrences were used only in rules about
          representation_clauses.  We have expanded the concept to cover
          private types, because the rules stated in RM83-7.4.1(4) are
          almost identical to the forcing occurrence rules.

20.j
          The Ada 83 rules are changed in Ada 95 for the following
          reasons:

20.k
             * The Ada 83 rules do not work right for subtype-specific
               aspects.  In an earlier version of Ada 9X, we considered
               allowing representation items to apply to subtypes other
               than the first subtype.  This was part of the reason for
               changing the Ada 83 rules.  However, now that we have
               dropped that functionality, we still need the rules to be
               different from the Ada 83 rules.

20.l
             * The Ada 83 rules do not achieve the intended effect.  In
               Ada 83, either with or without the AIs, it is possible to
               force the compiler to generate code that references
               uninitialized dope, or force it to detect erroneousness
               and exception raising at compile time.

20.m
             * It was a goal of Ada 83 to avoid uninitialized access
               values.  However, in the case of deferred constants, this
               goal was not achieved.

20.n
             * The Ada 83 rules are not only too weak -- they are also
               too strong.  They allow loopholes (as described above),
               but they also prevent certain kinds of
               default_expressions that are harmless, and certain kinds
               of generic_declarations that are both harmless and very
               useful.

20.o/2
             * {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} Ada 83 had a case where an
               aspect_clause had a strong effect on the semantics of the
               program -- 'Small.  This caused certain semantic
               anomalies.  There are more cases in Ada 95, because the
               attribute_definition_clause has been generalized.

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 95_

20.p/2
          {<8652/00468652/0046>} {<AI95-00106-01AI95-00106-01>}
          {<AI95-00341-01AI95-00341-01>} Corrigendum: Various freezing
          rules were added to fix holes in the rules.  Most importantly,
          implicit calls are now freezing, which make some
          representation clauses illegal in Ada 2005 that were legal
          (but dubious) in Ada 95.  Amendment Correction: Similarly, the
          primitive subprograms of a specific tagged type are frozen
          when the type is frozen, preventing dubious convention changes
          (and address clauses) after the freezing point.  In both
          cases, the code is dubious and the workaround is easy.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

20.q/2
          {<8652/00098652/0009>} {<AI95-00137-01AI95-00137-01>}
          Corrigendum: Added wording to specify that both operational
          and representation attributes must be specified before the
          type is frozen.

20.r/2
          {<AI95-00251-01AI95-00251-01>} Added wording that declaring a
          specific descendant of an interface type freezes the interface
          type.

20.s/2
          {<AI95-00279-01AI95-00279-01>} Added wording that defines when
          a tag is created for a type (at the freezing point of the
          type).  This is used to specify checking for uncreated tags
          (see *note 3.9::).

                   _Incompatibilities With Ada 2005_

20.t/3
          {<AI05-0019-1AI05-0019-1>} Correction: Separated the freezing
          of the profile from the rest of a subprogram, in order to
          reduce the impact of the Ada 95 incompatibility noted above.
          (The effects were much more limiting than expected.)

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

20.u/3
          {<AI05-0017-1AI05-0017-1>} Correction: Reworded so that
          incomplete types with a deferred completion aren't prematurely
          frozen.

20.v/3
          {<AI05-0177-1AI05-0177-1>} Added freezing rules for expression
          functions; these are frozen at the point of call, not the
          point of declaration, like default expressions.

20.w/3
          {<AI05-0183-1AI05-0183-1>} Added freezing rules for
          aspect_specifications; these are frozen at the freezing point
          of the associated entity, not the point of declaration.

20.x/3
          {<AI05-0213-1AI05-0213-1>} Added freezing rules for formal
          incomplete types; the corresponding actual is not frozen.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2012_

20.y/4
          {<AI12-0103-1AI12-0103-1>} {<AI12-0132-1AI12-0132-1>}
          Corrigendum: Clarified when and what an
          expression_function_declaration that is a completion or that
          is the target of a renames-as-body freezes.  This is formally
          an incompatibility, but as all known implementations freeze
          expression functions more aggressively than allowed by either
          the old or new wording, practically this will be an extension.

2.a
          Discussion: In running text, we generally leave out the "Ada."
          when referring to a child of Ada.

2.b
          Reason: We had no strict rule for which of Ada, Interfaces, or
          System should be the parent of a given library unit.  However,
          we have tried to place as many things as possible under Ada,
          except that interfacing is a separate category, and we have
          tried to place library units whose use is highly nonportable
          under System.

                     _Implementation Requirements_

3/4
{<AI95-00434-01AI95-00434-01>} {<AI12-0052-1AI12-0052-1>}
{<AI12-0114-1AI12-0114-1>} The implementation shall ensure that each
language-defined subprogram is reentrant in the sense that concurrent
calls on any language-defined subprogram perform as specified, so long
as all objects that are denoted by parameters that could be passed by
reference or designated by parameters of an access type are
nonoverlapping.

3.a.1/4
          Ramification: {<AI12-0052-1AI12-0052-1>}
          {<AI12-0114-1AI12-0114-1>} So long as the parameters are
          disjoint, concurrent calls on the same language-defined
          subprogram, and concurrent calls on two different
          language-defined subprograms are required to work.  But
          concurrent calls operating on overlapping objects (be they of
          the same or different language-defined subprograms) are <not>
          required to work (being an erroneous use of shared variables)
          unless both subprograms are required to pass the associated
          parameter by-copy.

3.a
          For example, simultaneous calls to Text_IO.Put will work
          properly, so long as they are going to two different files.
          On the other hand, simultaneous output to the same file
          constitutes erroneous use of shared variables.

3.b
          To be honest: Here, "language defined subprogram" means a
          language defined library subprogram, a subprogram declared in
          the visible part of a language defined library package, an
          instance of a language defined generic library subprogram, or
          a subprogram declared in the visible part of an instance of a
          language defined generic library package.

3.b.1/4
          Ramification: {<AI12-0052-1AI12-0052-1>} This rule applies to
          all language-defined subprograms, including those defined in
          packages that manage some global state (like environment
          variables or the current directory).  Unless specified above,
          such subprograms need to work when the explicit parameters are
          not overlapping; in particular, the existence of the global
          state is not considered.

3.c/4
          {<AI12-0052-1AI12-0052-1>} The rule implies that any data
          local to the private part or body of the package (including
          global state as described above) has to be somehow protected
          against simultaneous access.

3.1/4
{<AI12-0052-1AI12-0052-1>} {<AI12-0159-1AI12-0159-1>} For the purpose of
determining whether concurrent calls on text input-output subprograms
are required to perform as specified above, when calling a subprogram
within Text_IO or its children that implicitly operates on one of the
default input-output files, the subprogram is considered to have a
parameter of Current_Input or Current_Output (as appropriate).

3.2/3
{<AI05-0048-1AI05-0048-1>} If a descendant of a language-defined tagged
type is declared, the implementation shall ensure that each inherited
language-defined subprogram behaves as described in this International
Standard.  In particular, overriding a language-defined subprogram shall
not alter the effect of any inherited language-defined subprogram.

3.d/3
          Reason: This means that internally the implementation must not
          do redispatching unless it is required by the Standard.  So
          when we say that some subprogram Bar is equivalent to Foo,
          overriding Foo for a derived type doesn't change the semantics
          of Bar, and in particular it means that Bar may no longer be
          equivalent to Foo.  The word "equivalent" is always a bit of a
          lie anyway.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

4
The implementation may restrict the replacement of language-defined
compilation units.  The implementation may restrict children of
language-defined library units (other than Standard).

4.a
          Ramification: For example, the implementation may say, "you
          cannot compile a library unit called System" or "you cannot
          compile a child of package System" or "if you compile a
          library unit called System, it has to be a package, and it has
          to contain at least the following declarations: ...".

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

4.b
          Many of Ada 83's language-defined library units are now
          children of Ada or System.  For upward compatibility, these
          are renamed as root library units (see *note J.1::).

4.c
          The order and lettering of the annexes has been changed.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

4.d/2
          {<8652/00478652/0047>} {<AI95-00081-01AI95-00081-01>}
          Corrigendum: Units missing from the list of predefined units
          were added.

4.e/2
          {<AI95-00424-01AI95-00424-01>} Added new units to the list of
          predefined units.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

4.f/3
          {<AI05-0048-1AI05-0048-1>} Correction: Added wording to ban
          redispatching unless it is explicitly required, in order to
          safeguard portability when overriding language-defined
          routines.

4.g/3
          {<AI05-0060-1AI05-0060-1>} {<AI05-0206-1AI05-0206-1>}
          Correction: Added a permission to omit pragma Remote_Types
          from language-defined units if Annex E is not supported.  This
          was later removed, as a better method of supporting the reason
          is now available.  Note that this requires all implementations
          to provide minimal support for the Remote_Types categorization
          even if Annex E is not supported; being unable to compile
          language-defined units is not allowed.

4.h/3
          {<AI05-0001-1AI05-0001-1>} {<AI05-0049-1AI05-0049-1>}
          {<AI05-0069-1AI05-0069-1>} {<AI05-0111-3AI05-0111-3>}
          {<AI05-0136-1AI05-0136-1>} {<AI05-0137-1AI05-0137-1>}
          {<AI05-0166-1AI05-0166-1>} {<AI05-0168-1AI05-0168-1>} Added
          various new units to the list of predefined units.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2012_

4.h.1/4
          {<AI12-0052-1AI12-0052-1>} {<AI12-0114-1AI12-0114-1>}
          {<AI12-0159-1AI12-0159-1>} Corrigendum: The rules requiring
          concurrent access of language-defined subprograms were
          expanded to include implicit Text_IO objects, overlapping
          objects designated by parameters of an access type, and
          simultaneous calls on different language-defined subprograms.
          While this might change behavior of some programs, it would do
          so by eliminating erroneous execution, so we don't consider

A.1 The Package Standard
========================

1/3
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} This subclause outlines the specification of
the package Standard containing all predefined identifiers in the
language.  The corresponding package body is not specified by the
language.

2
The operators that are predefined for the types declared in the package
Standard are given in comments since they are implicitly declared.
Italics are used for pseudo-names of anonymous types (such as
<root_real>) and for undefined information (such as
<implementation-defined>).

2.a
          Ramification: All of the predefined operators are of
          convention Intrinsic.

                          _Static Semantics_

3
The library package Standard has the following declaration:

48
Standard has no private part.

48.a
          Reason: This is important for portability.  All library

          private part then it would be visible to all of them.

49/2
{<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} In each of the types Character,
Wide_Character, and Wide_Wide_Character, the character literals for the
space character (position 32) and the non-breaking space character
(position 160) correspond to different values.  Unless indicated
otherwise, each occurrence of the character literal ' ' in this
International Standard refers to the space character.  Similarly, the
character literals for hyphen (position 45) and soft hyphen (position
173) correspond to different values.  Unless indicated otherwise, each
occurrence of the character literal '-' in this International Standard
refers to the hyphen character.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

50
Elaboration of the body of Standard has no effect.

50.a
          Discussion: Note that the language does not define where this
          body appears in the environment declarative_part -- see *note
          10::, "*note 10:: Program Structure and Compilation Issues".

                     _Implementation Permissions_

51
An implementation may provide additional predefined integer types and
additional predefined floating point types.  Not all of these types need
have names.

51.a
          To be honest: An implementation may add representation items
          to package Standard, for example to specify the internal codes
          of type Boolean, or the Small of type Duration.

                        _Implementation Advice_

52
If an implementation provides additional named predefined integer types,
then the names should end with "Integer" as in "Long_Integer".  If an
implementation provides additional named predefined floating point
types, then the names should end with "Float" as in "Long_Float".

52.a/2
          Implementation Advice: If an implementation provides
          additional named predefined integer types, then the names
          should end with "Integer".  If an implementation provides
          additional named predefined floating point types, then the
          names should end with "Float".

     NOTES

53
     1  Certain aspects of the predefined entities cannot be completely
     described in the language itself.  For example, although the
     enumeration type Boolean can be written showing the two enumeration
     literals False and True, the short-circuit control forms cannot be
     expressed in the language.

54
     2  As explained in *note 8.1::, "*note 8.1:: Declarative Region"
     and *note 10.1.4::, "*note 10.1.4:: The Compilation Process", the
     declarative region of the package Standard encloses every library
     unit and consequently the main subprogram; the declaration of every
     library unit is assumed to occur within this declarative region.
     Library_items are assumed to be ordered in such a way that there
     are no forward semantic dependences.  However, as explained in
     *note 8.3::, "*note 8.3:: Visibility", the only library units that
     are visible within a given compilation unit are the library units
     named by all with_clauses that apply to the given unit, and
     moreover, within the declarative region of a given library unit,
     that library unit itself.

55
     3  If all block_statements of a program are named, then the name of
     each program unit can always be written as an expanded name
     starting with Standard (unless Standard is itself hidden).  The
     name of a library unit cannot be a homograph of a name (such as
     Integer) that is already declared in Standard.

56
     4  The exception Standard.Numeric_Error is defined in *note J.6::.

56.a
          Discussion: The declaration of Natural needs to appear between
          the declaration of Integer and the (implicit) declaration of
          the "**" operator for Integer, because a formal parameter of
          "**" is of subtype Natural.  This would be impossible in
          normal code, because the implicit declarations for a type
          occur immediately after the type declaration, with no
          possibility of intervening explicit declarations.  But we're
          in Standard, and Standard is somewhat magic anyway.

56.b
          Using Natural as the subtype of the formal of "**" seems
          natural; it would be silly to have a textual rule about
          Constraint_Error being raised when there is a perfectly good
          subtype that means just that.  Furthermore, by not using
          Integer for that formal, it helps remind the reader that the
          exponent remains Natural even when the left operand is
          replaced with the derivative of Integer.  It doesn't logically
          imply that, but it's still useful as a reminder.

56.c
          In any case, declaring these general-purpose subtypes of
          Integer close to Integer seems more readable than declaring
          them much later.

56.d
          Package Standard is declared to be pure.

56.e
          Discussion: The introduction of the types Wide_Character and
          Wide_String is not an Ada 95 extension to Ada 83, since ISO
          WG9 has approved these as an authorized extension of the
          original Ada 83 standard that is part of that standard.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

56.f
          Numeric_Error is made obsolescent.

56.g
          The declarations of Natural and Positive are moved to just
          after the declaration of Integer, so that "**" can refer to
          Natural without a forward reference.  There's no real need to
          move Positive, too -- it just came along for the ride.

A.2 The Package Ada
===================

                          _Static Semantics_

1
The following language-defined library package exists:

2
     package Ada is
         pragma Pure(Ada);
     end Ada;

3
Ada serves as the parent of most of the other language-defined library
units; its declaration is empty (except for the pragma Pure).

                           _Legality Rules_

4
In the standard mode, it is illegal to compile a child of package Ada.

4.a
          Reason: The intention is that mentioning, say, Ada.Text_IO in
          a with_clause is guaranteed (at least in the standard mode) to
          refer to the standard version of Ada.Text_IO. The user can
          compile a root library unit Text_IO that has no relation to
          the standard version of Text_IO.

4.b
          Ramification: Note that Ada can have non-language-defined
          grandchildren, assuming the implementation allows it.  Also,
          packages System and Interfaces can have children, assuming the
          implementation allows it.

4.c
          Implementation Note: An implementation will typically support
          a nonstandard mode in which compiling the language defined
          library units is allowed.  Whether or not this mode is made
          available to users is up to the implementer.

4.d
          An implementation could theoretically have private children of
          Ada, since that would be semantically neutral.  However, a
          programmer cannot compile such a library unit.

4.e/3
          {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} This subclause is new to Ada 95.

Characters.Latin_1 declares a set of constants initialized to values of
type Character.

7/3
{<AI95-00395-01AI95-00395-01>} {<AI05-0185-1AI05-0185-1>} If an
implementation chooses to provide implementation-defined operations on
Wide_Character or Wide_String (such as collating and sorting, etc.)  it
should do so by providing child units of Wide_Characters.  Similarly if
it chooses to provide implementation-defined operations on
Wide_Wide_Character or Wide_Wide_String it should do so by providing
child units of Wide_Wide_Characters.

7.a/2
          Implementation Advice: Implementation-defined operations on
          Wide_Character, Wide_String, Wide_Wide_Character, and
          Wide_Wide_String should be child units of Wide_Characters or
          Wide_Wide_Characters.

          Discussion: {<AI95-00395-01AI95-00395-01>} The with_clause for
          Ada.Characters.Conversions is needed for the definition of the
          obsolescent functions (see *note J.14::).  It would be odd to
          put this clause into *note J.14:: as it was not present in Ada
          95, and with_clauses are semantically neutral to clients
          anyway.

20
In the description below for each function that returns a Boolean
result, the effect is described in terms of the conditions under which
the value True is returned.  If these conditions are not met, then the
function returns False.

21
Each of the following classification functions has a formal Character
parameter, Item, and returns a Boolean result.

22
Is_Control
               True if Item is a control character.  A <control
               character> is a character whose position is in one of the
               ranges 0..31 or 127..159.

23
Is_Graphic
               True if Item is a graphic character.  A <graphic
               character> is a character whose position is in one of the
               ranges 32..126 or 160..255.

24
Is_Letter
               True if Item is a letter.  A <letter> is a character that
               is in one of the ranges 'A'..'Z' or 'a'..'z', or whose
               position is in one of the ranges 192..214, 216..246, or
               248..255.

25
Is_Lower
               True if Item is a lower-case letter.  A <lower-case
               letter> is a character that is in the range 'a'..'z', or
               whose position is in one of the ranges 223..246 or
               248..255.

26
Is_Upper
               True if Item is an upper-case letter.  An <upper-case
               letter> is a character that is in the range 'A'..'Z' or
               whose position is in one of the ranges 192..214 or 216..
               222.

27
Is_Basic
               True if Item is a basic letter.  A <basic letter> is a
               character that is in one of the ranges 'A'..'Z' and
               'a'..'z', or that is one of the following: 'Æ', 'æ', 'Ð',
               'ð', 'Þ', 'þ', or 'ß'.

28
Is_Digit
               True if Item is a decimal digit.  A <decimal digit> is a
               character in the range '0'..'9'.

29
Is_Decimal_Digit
               A renaming of Is_Digit.

30
Is_Hexadecimal_Digit
               True if Item is a hexadecimal digit.  A <hexadecimal
               digit> is a character that is either a decimal digit or
               that is in one of the ranges 'A' ..  'F' or 'a' ..  'f'.

31
Is_Alphanumeric
               True if Item is an alphanumeric character.  An
               <alphanumeric character> is a character that is either a
               letter or a decimal digit.

32
Is_Special
               True if Item is a special graphic character.  A <special
               graphic character> is a graphic character that is not
               alphanumeric.

32.1/3
{<AI05-0185-1AI05-0185-1>} Is_Line_Terminator
               True if Item is a character with position 10 ..  13
               (Line_Feed, Line_Tabulation, Form_Feed, Carriage_Return)
               or 133 (Next_Line).

32.2/3
{<AI05-0185-1AI05-0185-1>} Is_Mark
               Never True (no value of type Character has categories
               Mark, Non-Spacing or Mark, Spacing Combining).

32.3/3
{<AI05-0185-1AI05-0185-1>} Is_Other_Format
               True if Item is a character with position 173
               (Soft_Hyphen).

32.4/3
{<AI05-0185-1AI05-0185-1>} Is_Punctuation_Connector
               True if Item is a character with position 95 ('_', known
               as Low_Line or Underscore).

32.5/3
{<AI05-0185-1AI05-0185-1>} Is_Space
               True if Item is a character with position 32 (' ') or 160
               (No_Break_Space).

33
Each of the names To_Lower, To_Upper, and To_Basic refers to two
functions: one that converts from Character to Character, and the other
that converts from String to String.  The result of each
Character-to-Character function is described below, in terms of the
conversion applied to Item, its formal Character parameter.  The result
of each String-to-String conversion is obtained by applying to each
element of the function's String parameter the corresponding
Character-to-Character conversion; the result is the null String if the
value of the formal parameter is the null String.  The lower bound of
the result String is 1.

34
To_Lower
               Returns the corresponding lower-case value for Item if
               Is_Upper(Item), and returns Item otherwise.

35
To_Upper
               Returns the corresponding upper-case value for Item if
               Is_Lower(Item) and Item has an upper-case form, and
               returns Item otherwise.  The lower case letters 'ß' and
               'ÿ' do not have upper case forms.

36
To_Basic
               Returns the letter corresponding to Item but with no
               diacritical mark, if Item is a letter but not a basic
               letter; returns Item otherwise.

37
The following set of functions test for membership in the ISO 646
character range, or convert between ISO 646 and Character.

38
Is_ISO_646
               The function whose formal parameter, Item, is of type
               Character returns True if Item is in the subtype ISO_646.

39
Is_ISO_646
               The function whose formal parameter, Item, is of type
               String returns True if Is_ISO_646(Item(I)) is True for
               each I in Item'Range.

40
To_ISO_646
               The function whose first formal parameter, Item, is of
               type Character returns Item if Is_ISO_646(Item), and
               returns the Substitute ISO_646 character otherwise.

41
To_ISO_646
               The function whose first formal parameter, Item, is of
               type String returns the String whose Range is
               1..Item'Length and each of whose elements is given by
               To_ISO_646 of the corresponding element in Item.

<Paragraphs 42 through 49 were deleted.>

     NOTES

50
     5  A basic letter is a letter without a diacritical mark.

51
     6  Except for the hexadecimal digits, basic letters, and ISO_646
     characters, the categories identified in the classification
     functions form a strict hierarchy:

52
          -- Control characters

53
          -- Graphic characters

54
             -- Alphanumeric characters

55
                -- Letters

56
                   -- Upper-case letters

57
                   -- Lower-case letters

58
                -- Decimal digits

59
             -- Special graphic characters

59.a
          Ramification: Thus each Character value is either a control
          character or a graphic character but not both; each graphic
          character is either an alphanumeric or special graphic but not
          both; each alphanumeric is either a letter or decimal digit
          but not both; each letter is either upper case or lower case
          but not both.

     7  {<AI05-0114-1AI05-0114-1>} There are certain characters which
     are defined to be lower case letters by ISO 10646 and are therefore
     allowed in identifiers, but are not considered lower case letters
     by Ada.Characters.Handling.

60.a/3
          Reason: This is to maintain runtime compatibility with the Ada
          95 definitions of these functions.  We don't list the exact
          characters involved because they're likely to change in future
          character set standards; the list for ISO 10646:2011 can be
          found in AI05-0114-1AI05-0114-1.

60.b/3
          Ramification: No version of Characters.Handling is intended to
          do portable (Ada-version independent) manipulation of Ada
          identifiers.  The classification given by
          Wide_Characters.Handling will be correct for the current
          implementation for Ada 2012 identifiers, but it might not be
          correct for a different implementation or version of Ada.

60.c/2
          {<AI95-00362-01AI95-00362-01>} Characters.Handling is now
          Pure, so it can be used in pure units.

                   _Incompatibilities With Ada 2005_

60.d/3
          {<AI05-0185-1AI05-0185-1>} Added additional classification
          routines so that Characters.Handling has all of the routines
          available in Wide_Characters.Handling.  If Characters.Handling
          is referenced in a use_clause, and an entity <E> with a
          defining_identifier that is the same as one of the new
          functions is defined in a package that is also referenced in a
          use_clause, the entity <E> may no longer be use-visible,
          resulting in errors.  This should be rare and is easily fixed
          if it does occur.

          The conversion functions are made obsolescent; a more complete
          set is available in Characters.Conversions -- see *note
          A.3.4::.

          {<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} {<AI05-0248-1AI05-0248-1>} We
          no longer talk about localized character sets; these are a
          nonstandard mode, which is none of our business.

60.g/3
          {<AI05-0114-1AI05-0114-1>} Correction: Added a note to clarify
          that these functions don't have any relationship to the
          characters allowed in identifiers.

A.3.3 The Package Characters.Latin_1
------------------------------------

1
The package Characters.Latin_1 declares constants for characters in ISO
8859-1.

1.a
          Reason: The constants for the ISO 646 characters could have
          been declared as renamings of objects declared in package
          ASCII, as opposed to explicit constants.  The main reason for
          explicit constants was for consistency of style with the
          upper-half constants, and to avoid emphasizing the package
          ASCII.

                          _Static Semantics_

The library package Characters.Latin_1 has the following declaration:

                     _Implementation Permissions_

27
An implementation may provide additional packages as children of
Ada.Characters, to declare names for the symbols of the local character
set or other character sets.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

27.a/3
          {<AI05-0181-1AI05-0181-1>} Correction: Soft_Hyphen is not a
          graphic character, and thus a character literal for it is
          illegal.  So we have to use the position value.  This makes no
          semantic change to users of the constant.

                        _Implementation Advice_

62/3
{<AI05-0266-1AI05-0266-1>} The string returned by Character_Set_Version
should include either "10646:" or "Unicode".

62.a.1/3
          Implementation Advice: The string returned by
          Wide_Characters.Handling.Character_Set_Version should include
          either "10646:" or "Unicode".

62.a/3
          Discussion: The intent is that the returned string include the
          year for 10646 (as in "10646:2011"), and the version number
          for Unicode (as in "Unicode 6.0").  We don't try to specify
          that further so we don't need to decide how to represent
          Corrigenda for 10646, nor which of these is preferred.
          (Giving a Unicode version is more accurate, as the case
          folding and mapping rules always come from a Unicode version
          [10646 just tells one to look at Unicode to get those], and
          the character classifications ought to be the same for
          equivalent versions, but we don't want to talk about non-ISO
          standards in an ISO standard.)

     NOTES

63/3
     8  {<AI05-0266-1AI05-0266-1>} The results returned by these
     functions may depend on which particular version of the 10646
     standard is supported by the implementation (see *note 2.1::).

presents the specifications of the package Strings and several child
packages, which provide facilities for dealing with string data.
Fixed-length, bounded-length, and unbounded-length strings are
supported, for String, Wide_String, and Wide_Wide_String.  The
string-handling subprograms include searches for pattern strings and for
characters in program-specified sets, translation (via a
character-to-character mapping), and transformation (replacing,
inserting, overwriting, and deleting of substrings).

A.4.1 The Package Strings
-------------------------

1
The package Strings provides declarations common to the string handling
packages.

                          _Static Semantics_

2
The library package Strings has the following declaration:

3
     package Ada.Strings is
        pragma Pure(Strings);

4/2
     {<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>}    Space      : constant Character      := ' ';
        Wide_Space : constant Wide_Character := ' ';
        Wide_Wide_Space : constant Wide_Wide_Character := ' ';

5
        Length_Error, Pattern_Error, Index_Error, Translation_Error : exception;

6
        type Alignment  is (Left, Right, Center);
        type Truncation is (Left, Right, Error);
        type Membership is (Inside, Outside);
        type Direction  is (Forward, Backward);
        type Trim_End   is (Left, Right, Both);
     end Ada.Strings;

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 95_

6.a/3
          {<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>}
          Constant Wide_Wide_Space is added to Ada.Strings.  If
          Ada.Strings is referenced in a use_clause, and an entity <E>
          with a defining_identifier of Wide_Wide_Space is defined in a
          package that is also referenced in a use_clause, the entity
          <E> may no longer be use-visible, resulting in errors.  This
          should be rare and is easily fixed if it does occur.

A.4.2 The Package Strings.Maps
------------------------------

1
The package Strings.Maps defines the types, operations, and other
entities needed for character sets and character-to-character mappings.

                          _Static Semantics_

2
The library package Strings.Maps has the following declaration:

3/2
     {<AI95-00362-01AI95-00362-01>} package Ada.Strings.Maps is
        pragma Pure(Maps);

4/2

        type Character_Set is private;
        pragma Preelaborable_Initialization(Character_Set);

5
        Null_Set : constant Character_Set;

6
        type Character_Range is
          record
             Low  : Character;
             High : Character;
          end record;
        -- <Represents Character range Low..High>

7
        type Character_Ranges is array (Positive range <>) of Character_Range;

8
        function To_Set    (Ranges : in Character_Ranges)return Character_Set;

9
        function To_Set    (Span   : in Character_Range)return Character_Set;

10
        function To_Ranges (Set    : in Character_Set)  return Character_Ranges;

11
        function "="   (Left, Right : in Character_Set) return Boolean;

12
        function "not" (Right : in Character_Set)       return Character_Set;
        function "and" (Left, Right : in Character_Set) return Character_Set;
        function "or"  (Left, Right : in Character_Set) return Character_Set;
        function "xor" (Left, Right : in Character_Set) return Character_Set;
        function "-"   (Left, Right : in Character_Set) return Character_Set;

13
        function Is_In (Element : in Character;
                        Set     : in Character_Set)
           return Boolean;

14
        function Is_Subset (Elements : in Character_Set;
                            Set      : in Character_Set)

18
        function To_Set (Singleton : in Character)     return Character_Set;

19
        function To_Sequence (Set  : in Character_Set) return Character_Sequence;

20/2

21
        function Value (Map     : in Character_Mapping;
                        Element : in Character)

        function To_Mapping (From, To : in Character_Sequence)
           return Character_Mapping;

24
        function To_Domain (Map : in Character_Mapping)
           return Character_Sequence;
        function To_Range  (Map : in Character_Mapping)
           return Character_Sequence;

25
        type Character_Mapping_Function is
           access function (From : in Character) return Character;

26
     private
        ... -- <not specified by the language>
     end Ada.Strings.Maps;

27
An object of type Character_Set represents a set of characters.

28
Null_Set represents the set containing no characters.

29
An object Obj of type Character_Range represents the set of characters
in the range Obj.Low ..  Obj.High.

30
An object Obj of type Character_Ranges represents the union of the sets
corresponding to Obj(I) for I in Obj'Range.

31
     function To_Set (Ranges : in Character_Ranges) return Character_Set;

32/3
          {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} If Ranges'Length=0 then Null_Set is
          returned; otherwise, the returned value represents the set
          corresponding to Ranges.

33
     function To_Set (Span : in Character_Range) return Character_Set;

34
          The returned value represents the set containing each
          character in Span.

35
     function To_Ranges (Set : in Character_Set) return Character_Ranges;

36/3
          {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} If Set = Null_Set, then an empty
          Character_Ranges array is returned; otherwise, the shortest
          array of contiguous ranges of Character values in Set, in
          increasing order of Low, is returned.

37
     function "=" (Left, Right : in Character_Set) return Boolean;

38
          The function "=" returns True if Left and Right represent
          identical sets, and False otherwise.

39
Each of the logical operators "not", "and", "or", and "xor" returns a
Character_Set value that represents the set obtained by applying the
corresponding operation to the set(s) represented by the parameter(s) of
the operator.  "-"(Left, Right) is equivalent to "and"(Left,
"not"(Right)).

39.a
          Reason: The set minus operator is provided for efficiency.

40
     function Is_In (Element : in Character;
                     Set     : in Character_Set);
        return Boolean;

41
          Is_In returns True if Element is in Set, and False otherwise.

42
     function Is_Subset (Elements : in Character_Set;
                         Set      : in Character_Set)
        return Boolean;

43
          Is_Subset returns True if Elements is a subset of Set, and
          False otherwise.

44
     subtype Character_Sequence is String;

45
          The Character_Sequence subtype is used to portray a set of
          character values and also to identify the domain and range of
          a character mapping.

45.a
          Reason: Although a named subtype is redundant -- the
          predefined type String could have been used for the parameter
          to To_Set and To_Mapping below -- the use of a differently
          named subtype identifies the intended purpose of the
          parameter.

46
     function To_Set (Sequence  : in Character_Sequence) return Character_Set;

     function To_Set (Singleton : in Character)          return Character_Set;

47
          Sequence portrays the set of character values that it
          explicitly contains (ignoring duplicates).  Singleton portrays
          the set comprising a single Character.  Each of the To_Set
          functions returns a Character_Set value that represents the
          set portrayed by Sequence or Singleton.

48
     function To_Sequence (Set : in Character_Set) return Character_Sequence;

49
          The function To_Sequence returns a Character_Sequence value
          containing each of the characters in the set represented by
          Set, in ascending order with no duplicates.

50
     type Character_Mapping is private;

51
          An object of type Character_Mapping represents a
          Character-to-Character mapping.

52
     function Value (Map     : in Character_Mapping;
                     Element : in Character)
        return Character;

53
          The function Value returns the Character value to which
          Element maps with respect to the mapping represented by Map.

54
A character C <matches> a pattern character P with respect to a given
Character_Mapping value Map if Value(Map, C) = P. A string S <matches> a
pattern string P with respect to a given Character_Mapping if their
lengths are the same and if each character in S matches its
corresponding character in the pattern string P.

54.a
          Discussion: In an earlier version of the string handling
          packages, the definition of matching was symmetrical, namely C
          matches P if Value(Map,C) = Value(Map,P). However, applying
          the mapping to the pattern was confusing according to some
          reviewers.  Furthermore, if the symmetrical version is needed,
          it can be achieved by applying the mapping to the pattern (via
          translation) prior to passing it as a parameter.

55
String handling subprograms that deal with character mappings have
parameters whose type is Character_Mapping.

56
     Identity : constant Character_Mapping;

57
          Identity maps each Character to itself.

58
     function To_Mapping (From, To : in Character_Sequence)
         return Character_Mapping;

59
          To_Mapping produces a Character_Mapping such that each element
          of From maps to the corresponding element of To, and each
          other character maps to itself.  If From'Length /= To'Length,
          or if some character is repeated in From, then
          Translation_Error is propagated.

60
     function To_Domain (Map : in Character_Mapping) return Character_Sequence;

61
          To_Domain returns the shortest Character_Sequence value D such
          that each character not in D maps to itself, and such that the
          characters in D are in ascending order.  The lower bound of D
          is 1.

62
     function To_Range  (Map : in Character_Mapping) return Character_Sequence;

63/1
          {<8652/00488652/0048>} {<AI95-00151-01AI95-00151-01>} To_Range
          returns the Character_Sequence value R, such that if D =
          To_Domain(Map), then R has the same bounds as D, and D(I) maps
          to R(I) for each I in D'Range.

64
An object F of type Character_Mapping_Function maps a Character value C
to the Character value F.all(C), which is said to <match> C with respect
to mapping function F. 

     NOTES

65
     10  Character_Mapping and Character_Mapping_Function are used both
     for character equivalence mappings in the search subprograms (such
     as for case insensitivity) and as transformational mappings in the
     Translate subprograms.

66
     11  To_Domain(Identity) and To_Range(Identity) each returns the
     null string.

66.a
          Reason: Package Strings.Maps is not pure, since it declares an
          access-to-subprogram type.

                              _Examples_

67
To_Mapping("ABCD", "ZZAB") returns a Character_Mapping that maps 'A' and
'B' to 'Z', 'C' to 'A', 'D' to 'B', and each other Character to itself.

                        _Extensions to Ada 95_

67.a/2
          {<AI95-00161-01AI95-00161-01>} Amendment Correction: Added
          pragma Preelaborable_Initialization to types Character_Set and
          Character_Mapping, so that they can be used to declare
          default-initialized objects in preelaborated units.

67.b/2
          {<AI95-00362-01AI95-00362-01>} Strings.Maps is now Pure, so it
          can be used in pure units.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

67.c/2
          {<8652/00488652/0048>} {<AI95-00151-01AI95-00151-01>}
          Corrigendum: Corrected the definition of the range of the
          result of To_Range, since the Ada 95 definition makes no
          sense.

A.4.3 Fixed-Length String Handling
----------------------------------

1
The language-defined package Strings.Fixed provides string-handling
subprograms for fixed-length strings; that is, for values of type
Standard.String.  Several of these subprograms are procedures that
modify the contents of a String that is passed as an out or an in out
parameter; each has additional parameters to control the effect when the
logical length of the result differs from the parameter's length.

2
For each function that returns a String, the lower bound of the returned
value is 1.

2.a/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} Most operations
          that yield a String are provided both as a function and as a
          procedure.  The functional form is possibly a more aesthetic
          style but may introduce overhead due to extra copying or
          dynamic memory usage in some implementations.  Thus a
          procedural form, with an in out parameter so that all copying
          is done 'in place', is also supplied.

3
The basic model embodied in the package is that a fixed-length string
comprises significant characters and possibly padding (with space
characters) on either or both ends.  When a shorter string is copied to
a longer string, padding is inserted, and when a longer string is copied
to a shorter one, padding is stripped.  The Move procedure in
Strings.Fixed, which takes a String as an out parameter, allows the
programmer to control these effects.  Similar control is provided by the
string transformation procedures.

                          _Static Semantics_

4
The library package Strings.Fixed has the following declaration:

5
     with Ada.Strings.Maps;
     package Ada.Strings.Fixed is
        pragma Preelaborate(Fixed);

45/3
          {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} The Move procedure copies
          characters from Source to Target.  If Source has the same
          length as Target, then the effect is to assign Source to
          Target.  If Source is shorter than Target, then:

46
             * If Justify=Left, then Source is copied into the first
               Source'Length characters of Target.

47
             * If Justify=Right, then Source is copied into the last
               Source'Length characters of Target.

48
             * If Justify=Center, then Source is copied into the middle
               Source'Length characters of Target.  In this case, if the
               difference in length between Target and Source is odd,
               then the extra Pad character is on the right.

49
             * Pad is copied to each Target character not otherwise
               assigned.

50
          If Source is longer than Target, then the effect is based on
          Drop.

51
             * If Drop=Left, then the rightmost Target'Length characters
               of Source are copied into Target.

52
             * If Drop=Right, then the leftmost Target'Length characters
               of Source are copied into Target.

53
             * If Drop=Error, then the effect depends on the value of
               the Justify parameter and also on whether any characters
               in Source other than Pad would fail to be copied:

54
                       * If Justify=Left, and if each of the rightmost
                         Source'Length-Target'Length characters in
                         Source is Pad, then the leftmost Target'Length
                         characters of Source are copied to Target.

55
                       * If Justify=Right, and if each of the leftmost
                         Source'Length-Target'Length characters in
                         Source is Pad, then the rightmost Target'Length
                         characters of Source are copied to Target.

56
                       * Otherwise, Length_Error is propagated.

56.a
          Ramification: The Move procedure will work even if Source and
          Target overlap.

56.b
          Reason: The order of parameters (Source before Target)
          corresponds to the order in COBOL's MOVE verb.

          {<AI95-00301-01AI95-00301-01>} {<AI05-0056-1AI05-0056-1>} Each
          Index function searches, starting from From, for a slice of
          Source, with length Pattern'Length, that matches Pattern with
          respect to Mapping; the parameter Going indicates the
          direction of the lookup.  If Source is the null string, Index
          returns 0; otherwise, if From is not in Source'Range, then
          Index_Error is propagated.  If Going = Forward, then Index
          returns the smallest index I which is greater than or equal to
          From such that the slice of Source starting at I matches
          Pattern.  If Going = Backward, then Index returns the largest
          index I such that the slice of Source starting at I matches
          Pattern and has an upper bound less than or equal to From.  If
          there is no such slice, then 0 is returned.  If Pattern is the
          null string, then Pattern_Error is propagated.

56.c/2
          Discussion: There is no default parameter for From; the
          default value would need to depend on other parameters (the
          bounds of Source and the direction Going).  It is better to
          use overloaded functions rather than a special value to
          represent the default.

56.d/2
          There is no default value for the Mapping parameter that is a
          Character_Mapping_Function; if there were, a call would be
          ambiguous since there is also a default for the Mapping
          parameter that is a Character_Mapping.

56.e/3
          {<AI05-0056-1AI05-0056-1>} The language does not define when
          the Pattern_Error check is made.  (That's because many common
          searching implementations require a nonempty pattern) That
          means that the result for a call like Index ("", "") could be
          0 or could raise Pattern_Error.  Similarly, in the call Index
          ("", "", From => 2), the language does not define whether
          Pattern_Error or Index_Error is raised.

          that match Pattern with respect to Mapping.  If Pattern is the

64.a
          Reason: We say 'maximum number' because it is possible to
          slice a source string in different ways yielding different
          numbers of matches.  For example if Source is "ABABABA" and
          Pattern is "ABA", then Count yields 2, although there is a
          partitioning of Source that yields just 1 match, for the
          middle slice.  Saying 'maximum number' is equivalent to saying
          that the pattern match starts either at the low index or the
          high index position.

          functions replicate a character or string a specified number
          of times.  The first function returns a string whose length is
          Left and each of whose elements is Right.  The second function
          returns a string whose length is Left*Right'Length and whose
          value is the null string if Left = 0 and otherwise is
          (Left-1)*Right & Right with lower bound 1.

     NOTES

107/3
     12  {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} In the Index and Count functions
     taking Pattern and Mapping parameters, the actual String parameter
     passed to Pattern should comprise characters occurring as target
     characters of the mapping.  Otherwise, the pattern will not match.

108
     13  In the Insert subprograms, inserting at the end of a string is
     obtained by passing Source'Last+1 as the Before parameter.

109
     14  If a null Character_Mapping_Function is passed to any of the
     string handling subprograms, Constraint_Error is propagated.

A.4.4 Bounded-Length String Handling
------------------------------------

1
The language-defined package Strings.Bounded provides a generic package
each of whose instances yields a private type Bounded_String and a set
of operations.  An object of a particular Bounded_String type represents
a String whose low bound is 1 and whose length can vary conceptually
between 0 and a maximum size established at the generic instantiation.
The subprograms for fixed-length string handling are either overloaded
directly for Bounded_String, or are modified as needed to reflect the
variability in length.  Additionally, since the Bounded_String type is
private, appropriate constructor and selector operations are provided.

1.a
          Reason: Strings.Bounded declares an inner generic package,
          versus itself being directly a generic child of Strings, in
          order to retain compatibility with a version of the
          string-handling packages that is generic with respect to the
          character and string types.

1.b
          Reason: The bound of a bounded-length string is specified as a
          parameter to a generic, versus as the value for a
          discriminant, because of the inappropriateness of assignment
          and equality of discriminated types for the copying and
          comparison of bounded strings.

88
             * If Drop=Left, then the result is a Bounded_String that

Each of the Append functions returns a Bounded_String obtained by
concatenating the string or character given or represented by one of the
parameters, with the string or character given or represented by the
other parameter, and applying To_Bounded_String to the concatenation
result string, with Drop as provided to the Append function.

Each of the functions "=", "<", ">", "<=", and ">=" returns the same
result as the corresponding String operation applied to the String
values given or represented by the two parameters.

103
Each of the search subprograms (Index, Index_Non_Blank, Count,
Find_Token) has the same effect as the corresponding subprogram in
Strings.Fixed applied to the string represented by the Bounded_String
parameter.

104
Each of the Translate subprograms, when applied to a Bounded_String, has
an analogous effect to the corresponding subprogram in Strings.Fixed.
For the Translate function, the translation is applied to the string
represented by the Bounded_String parameter, and the result is converted
(via To_Bounded_String) to a Bounded_String.  For the Translate
procedure, the string represented by the Bounded_String parameter after
the translation is given by the Translate function for fixed-length
strings applied to the string represented by the original value of the
parameter.

transformation subprograms (Replace_Slice, Insert, Overwrite, Delete),
selector subprograms (Trim, Head, Tail), and constructor functions ("*")
has an effect based on its corresponding subprogram in Strings.Fixed,
and Replicate is based on Fixed."*".  In the case of a function, the
corresponding fixed-length string subprogram is applied to the string
represented by the Bounded_String parameter.  To_Bounded_String is
applied the result string, with Drop (or Error in the case of
Generic_Bounded_Length."*") determining the effect when the string
length exceeds Max_Length.  In the case of a procedure, the
corresponding function in Strings.Bounded.Generic_Bounded_Length is
applied, with the result assigned into the Source parameter.

          operations between Bounded_String and String, and between
          String and Bounded_String, are automatically defined based on
          the corresponding "=" operations.

                        _Implementation Advice_

106
Bounded string objects should not be implemented by implicit pointers
and dynamic allocation.

106.a.1/2
          Implementation Advice: Bounded string objects should not be
          implemented by implicit pointers and dynamic allocation.

106.a
          Implementation Note: The following is a possible
          implementation of the private part of the package:

106.b
               type Bounded_String_Internals (Length : Length_Range := 0) is
                  record
                     Data : String(1..Length);
                  end record;

106.c
               type Bounded_String is
                  record
                     Data : Bounded_String_Internals;  --< Unconstrained>
                  end record;

106.d
               Null_Bounded_String : constant Bounded_String :=
                  (Data => (Length => 0,
                            Data   => (1..0 => ' ')));

                     _Inconsistencies With Ada 95_

106.e/2
          {<AI95-00238-01AI95-00238-01>} Amendment Correction: The
          bounds of the string returned from Slice are now defined.
          This is technically an inconsistency; if a program depended on
          some other lower bound for the string returned from Slice, it
          could fail when compiled with Ada 2005.  Such code is not
          portable even between Ada 95 implementations, so it should be
          very rare.

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 95_

106.f/3
          {<AI95-00301-01AI95-00301-01>} {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>}
          Procedure Set_Bounded_String, two Bounded_Slice subprograms,
          and overloaded versions of Index and Index_Non_Blank are added
          to Strings.Bounded.Generic_Bounded_Length.  If an instance of
          Generic_Bounded_Length is referenced in a use_clause, and an
          entity <E> with the defining_identifier as a new entity in
          Generic_Bounded_Length is defined in a package that is also
          referenced in a use_clause, the entity <E> may no longer be
          use-visible, resulting in errors.  This should be rare and is
          easily fixed if it does occur.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

          {<8652/00498652/0049>} {<AI95-00128-01AI95-00128-01>}
          Corrigendum: Corrected the conditions for which Slice raises
          Index_Error.

106.h/2
          {<8652/00498652/0049>} {<AI95-00128-01AI95-00128-01>}
          Corrigendum: Clarified the meaning of transformation,
          selector, and constructor subprograms by describing the
          effects of procedures and functions separately.

                   _Incompatibilities With Ada 2005_

106.i/3
          {<AI05-0031-1AI05-0031-1>} An overloaded version of Find_Token
          is added to Strings.Bounded.Generic_Bounded_Length.  If an
          instance of Generic_Bounded_Length is referenced in a
          use_clause, and an entity <E> with a defining_identifier of
          Find_Token is defined in a package that is also referenced in
          a use_clause, the entity <E> may no longer be use-visible,
          resulting in errors.  This should be rare and is easily fixed
          if it does occur.

A.4.5 Unbounded-Length String Handling
--------------------------------------

1
The language-defined package Strings.Unbounded provides a private type
Unbounded_String and a set of operations.  An object of type
Unbounded_String represents a String whose low bound is 1 and whose
length can vary conceptually between 0 and Natural'Last.  The
subprograms for fixed-length string handling are either overloaded
directly for Unbounded_String, or are modified as needed to reflect the
flexibility in length.  Since the Unbounded_String type is private,
relevant constructor and selector operations are provided.

1.a
          Reason: The transformation operations for fixed- and
          bounded-length strings that are not necessarily length
          preserving are supplied for Unbounded_String as procedures as
          well as functions.  This allows an implementation to do an
          initial allocation for an unbounded string and to avoid
          further allocations as long as the length does not exceed the
          allocated length.

                          _Static Semantics_

72.1/2
{<AI95-00360-01AI95-00360-01>} The type Unbounded_String needs
finalization (see *note 7.6::).

73
Null_Unbounded_String represents the null String.  If an object of type
Unbounded_String is not otherwise initialized, it will be initialized to
the same value as Null_Unbounded_String.

74
The function Length returns the length of the String represented by
Source.

75
The type String_Access provides a (nonprivate) access type for explicit
processing of unbounded-length strings.  The procedure Free performs an
unchecked deallocation of an object of type String_Access.

76
The function To_Unbounded_String(Source : in String) returns an
Unbounded_String that represents Source.  The function
To_Unbounded_String(Length : in Natural) returns an Unbounded_String
that represents an uninitialized String whose length is Length.

77
The function To_String returns the String with lower bound 1 represented
by Source.  To_String and To_Unbounded_String are related as follows:

78
   * If S is a String, then To_String(To_Unbounded_String(S)) = S.

79
   * If U is an Unbounded_String, then To_Unbounded_String(To_String(U))
     = U.

79.1/2
{<AI95-00301-01AI95-00301-01>} The procedure Set_Unbounded_String sets
Target to an Unbounded_String that represents Source.

80
For each of the Append procedures, the resulting string represented by
the Source parameter is given by the concatenation of the original value
of Source and the value of New_Item.

81
Each of the "&" functions returns an Unbounded_String obtained by
concatenating the string or character given or represented by one of the
parameters, with the string or character given or represented by the
other parameter, and applying To_Unbounded_String to the concatenation
result string.

82
The Element, Replace_Element, and Slice subprograms have the same effect
as the corresponding bounded-length string subprograms.

82.1/3
{<AI95-00301-01AI95-00301-01>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} The function
Unbounded_Slice returns the slice at positions Low through High in the
string represented by Source as an Unbounded_String.  The procedure
Unbounded_Slice sets Target to the Unbounded_String representing the
slice at positions Low through High in the string represented by Source.
Both subprograms propagate Index_Error if Low > Length(Source)+1 or High
> Length(Source).

83
Each of the functions "=", "<", ">", "<=", and ">=" returns the same
result as the corresponding String operation applied to the String
values given or represented by Left and Right.

84
Each of the search subprograms (Index, Index_Non_Blank, Count,
Find_Token) has the same effect as the corresponding subprogram in
Strings.Fixed applied to the string represented by the Unbounded_String
parameter.

85
The Translate function has an analogous effect to the corresponding
subprogram in Strings.Fixed.  The translation is applied to the string
represented by the Unbounded_String parameter, and the result is
converted (via To_Unbounded_String) to an Unbounded_String.

86
Each of the transformation functions (Replace_Slice, Insert, Overwrite,
Delete), selector functions (Trim, Head, Tail), and constructor
functions ("*") is likewise analogous to its corresponding subprogram in
Strings.Fixed.  For each of the subprograms, the corresponding
fixed-length string subprogram is applied to the string represented by
the Unbounded_String parameter, and To_Unbounded_String is applied the
result string.

87
For each of the procedures Translate, Replace_Slice, Insert, Overwrite,
Delete, Trim, Head, and Tail, the resulting string represented by the
Source parameter is given by the corresponding function for fixed-length
strings applied to the string represented by Source's original value.

                     _Implementation Requirements_

88
No storage associated with an Unbounded_String object shall be lost upon
assignment or scope exit.

88.a/2
          Implementation Note: {<AI95-00301-01AI95-00301-01>} A sample
          implementation of the private part of the package and several
          of the subprograms appears in the Ada 95 Rationale.

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 95_

88.b/2
          {<AI95-00360-01AI95-00360-01>} Amendment Correction: Type
          Unbounded_String is defined to need finalization.  If the
          restriction No_Nested_Finalization (see *note D.7::) applies
          to the partition, and Unbounded_String does not have a
          controlled part, it will not be allowed in local objects in
          Ada 2005 whereas it would be allowed in original Ada 95.  Such
          code is not portable, as most Ada compilers have a controlled
          part in Unbounded_String, and thus would be illegal.

88.c/3
          {<AI95-00301-01AI95-00301-01>} {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>}
          Procedure Set_Unbounded_String, two Unbounded_Slice
          subprograms, and overloaded versions of Index and
          Index_Non_Blank are added to Strings.Unbounded.  If
          Strings.Unbounded is referenced in a use_clause, and an entity
          <E> with the same defining_identifier as a new entity in
          Strings.Unbounded is defined in a package that is also
          referenced in a use_clause, the entity <E> may no longer be
          use-visible, resulting in errors.  This should be rare and is
          easily fixed if it does occur.

88.d/2
          {<AI95-00161-01AI95-00161-01>} Amendment Correction: Added a
          pragma Preelaborable_Initialization to type Unbounded_String,
          so that it can be used to declare default-initialized objects
          in preelaborated units.

                   _Incompatibilities With Ada 2005_

88.e/3
          {<AI05-0031-1AI05-0031-1>} An overloaded version of Find_Token
          is added to Strings.Unbounded.  If Strings.Unbounded is
          referenced in a use_clause, and an entity <E> with a
          defining_identifier of Find_Token is defined in a package that
          is also referenced in a use_clause, the entity <E> may no
          longer be use-visible, resulting in errors.  This should be
          rare and is easily fixed if it does occur.

A.4.6 String-Handling Sets and Mappings
---------------------------------------

1
The language-defined package Strings.Maps.Constants declares
Character_Set and Character_Mapping constants corresponding to
classification and conversion functions in package Characters.Handling.

1.a
          Discussion: The Constants package is a child of Strings.Maps
          since it needs visibility of the private part of Strings.Maps
          in order to initialize the constants in a preelaborable way
          (i.e.  via aggregates versus function calls).

Each of these constants represents a correspondingly named set of

     NOTES

8/3
     15  {<AI05-0114-1AI05-0114-1>} There are certain characters which
     are defined to be lower case letters by ISO 10646 and are therefore
     allowed in identifiers, but are not considered lower case letters
     by Ada.Strings.Maps.Constants.

8.a/3
          Reason: This is to maintain runtime compatibility with the Ada
          95 definitions of these constants; existing correct programs
          could break if the definitions were changed in a way the
          programs did not anticipate.

8.b/2
          {<AI95-00362-01AI95-00362-01>} Strings.Maps.Constants is now
          Pure, so it can be used in pure units.

8.c/3
          {<AI05-0114-1AI05-0114-1>} Correction: Added a note to clarify
          that these constants don't have any relationship to the
          characters allowed in identifiers.

{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} {<AI05-0286-1AI05-0286-1>} Facilities for
handling strings of Wide_Character elements are found in the packages

{<AI95-00395-01AI95-00395-01>} Each Wide_Character_Set constant in the
package Strings.Wide_Maps.Wide_Constants contains no values outside the
Character portion of Wide_Character.  Similarly, each
Wide_Character_Mapping constant in this package is the identity mapping
when applied to any element outside the Character portion of
Wide_Character.

46.2/2
{<AI95-00362-01AI95-00362-01>} Pragma Pure is replaced by pragma
Preelaborate in Strings.Wide_Maps.Wide_Constants.

     NOTES

47
     16  If a null Wide_Character_Mapping_Function is passed to any of
     the Wide_String handling subprograms, Constraint_Error is
     propagated.

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 95_

48.a/2
          {<AI95-00301-01AI95-00301-01>} Various new operations are
          added to Strings.Wide_Fixed, Strings.Wide_Bounded, and
          Strings.Wide_Unbounded.  If one of these packages is
          referenced in a use_clause, and an entity <E> with the same
          defining_identifier as a new entity is defined in a package
          that is also referenced in a use_clause, the entity <E> may no
          longer be use-visible, resulting in errors.  This should be
          rare and is easily fixed if it does occur.

                        _Extensions to Ada 95_

48.b/2
          {<AI95-00161-01AI95-00161-01>} Amendment Correction: Added
          pragma Preelaborable_Initialization to types
          Wide_Character_Set and Wide_Character_Mapping, so that they
          can be used to declare default-initialized objects in
          preelaborated units.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

48.c/2
          {<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} Corrected the description of
          Character_Set.

48.d/2
          {<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} Added wide versions of
          Strings.Hash and Strings.Unbounded.Hash.

48.e/2
          {<AI95-00362-01AI95-00362-01>} Added wording so that
          Strings.Wide_Maps.Wide_Constants does not change to Pure.

48.f/2
          {<AI95-00395-01AI95-00395-01>} The second Note is now
          normative text, since there is no way to derive it from the
          other rules.  It's a little weird given the use of Unicode
          character classifications in Ada 2005; but changing it would
          be inconsistent with Ada 95 and a one-to-one mapping isn't
          necessarily correct anyway.

                       _Extensions to Ada 2005_

48.g/3
          {<AI05-0286-1AI05-0286-1>} The case insenstive library
          functions (Strings.Wide_Equal_Case_Insensitive,

          Strings.Wide_Bounded.Wide_Hash_Case_Insensitive, and
          Strings.Wide_Unbounded.Wide_Hash_Case_Insensitive) are new.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

48.h/3
          {<AI05-0223-1AI05-0223-1>} Correction: Identified
          Wide_Character_Set and Wide_Character_Mapping as needing
          finalization.  It is likely that they are implemented with a
          controlled type, so this change is unlikely to make any
          difference in practice.

                        _Implementation Advice_

12/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} The Hash functions should be good hash
functions, returning a wide spread of values for different string
values.  It should be unlikely for similar strings to return the same
value.

12.a/2
          Implementation Advice: Strings.Hash should be good a hash
          function, returning a wide spread of values for different
          string values, and similar strings should rarely return the
          same value.

12.b/2
          Ramification: The other functions are defined in terms of
          Strings.Hash, so they don't need separate advice in the Annex.

A.4.10 String Comparison

{<AI05-0298-1AI05-0298-1>} The library function
Strings.Equal_Case_Insensitive has the following declaration:

2/3
     function Ada.Strings.Equal_Case_Insensitive (Left, Right : String)
        return Boolean;
     pragma Pure(Ada.Strings.Equal_Case_Insensitive);

3/3
          Returns True if the strings consist of the same sequence of
          characters after applying locale-independent simple case
          folding, as defined by documents referenced in the note in
          Clause 1 of ISO/IEC 10646:2011.  Otherwise, returns False.
          This function uses the same method as is used to determine
          whether two identifiers are the same.

3.a/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0286-1AI05-0286-1>} For String, this is
          equivalent to converting to lower case and comparing.  Not so
          for other string types.  For Wide_Strings and
          Wide_Wide_Strings, note that this result is a more accurate
          comparison than converting the strings to lower case and
          comparing the results; it is possible that the lower case
          conversions are the same but this routine will report the
          strings as different.  Additionally, Unicode says that the
          result of this function will never change for strings made up
          solely of defined code points; there is no such guarantee for
          case conversion to lower case.

{<AI05-0137-2AI05-0137-2>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} The type
Encoding_Scheme defines encoding schemes.  UTF_8 corresponds to the
UTF-8 encoding scheme defined by Annex D of ISO/IEC 10646.  UTF_16BE
corresponds to the UTF-16 encoding scheme defined by Annex C of ISO/IEC
10646 in 8 bit, big-endian order; and UTF_16LE corresponds to the UTF-16
encoding scheme in 8 bit, little-endian order.

47/3
{<AI05-0137-2AI05-0137-2>} The subtype UTF_String is used to represent a
String of 8-bit values containing a sequence of values encoded in one of
three ways (UTF-8, UTF-16BE, or UTF-16LE). The subtype UTF_8_String is
used to represent a String of 8-bit values containing a sequence of
values encoded in UTF-8.  The subtype UTF_16_Wide_String is used to
represent a Wide_String of 16-bit values containing a sequence of values
encoded in UTF-16.

48/3
{<AI05-0137-2AI05-0137-2>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} The BOM_8,
BOM_16BE, BOM_16LE, and BOM_16 constants correspond to values used at
the start of a string to indicate the encoding.

49/3
{<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} {<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>} Each of the Encode
functions takes a String, Wide_String, or Wide_Wide_String Item
parameter that is assumed to be an array of unencoded characters.  Each
of the Convert functions takes a UTF_String, UTF_8_String, or
UTF_16_String Item parameter that is assumed to contain characters whose
position values correspond to a valid encoding sequence according to the
encoding scheme required by the function or specified by its
Input_Scheme parameter.

returns a UTF_String, UTF_8_String, or UTF_16_String value whose
characters have position values that correspond to the encoding of the
Item parameter according to the encoding scheme required by the function
or specified by its Output_Scheme parameter.  For UTF_8, no overlong
encoding is returned.  A BOM is included at the start of the returned
string if the Output_BOM parameter is set to True.  The lower bound of
the returned string is 1.

51/3
{<AI05-0137-2AI05-0137-2>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} Each of the Decode
functions takes a UTF_String, UTF_8_String, or UTF_16_String Item
parameter which is assumed to contain characters whose position values
correspond to a valid encoding sequence according to the encoding scheme
required by the function or specified by its Input_Scheme parameter, and
returns the corresponding String, Wide_String, or Wide_Wide_String

53/3
{<AI05-0137-2AI05-0137-2>} The exception Encoding_Error is also
propagated in the following situations:

54/4
   * {<AI12-0088-1AI12-0088-1>} By a Convert or Decode function when a
     UTF encoded string contains an invalid encoding sequence.

54.a/4
          To be honest: {<AI12-0088-1AI12-0088-1>} An overlong encoding
          is not invalid for the purposes of this check, and this does
          not depend on the character set version in use.  Some recent
          character set standards declare overlong encodings to be
          invalid; it would be unnecessary and unfriendly to users for
          Convert or Decode to raise an exception for an overlong
          encoding.

55/4
   * {<AI12-0088-1AI12-0088-1>} By a Convert or Decode function when the
     expected encoding is UTF-16BE or UTF-16LE and the input string has
     an odd length.

56/3
   * {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} By a Decode function yielding a String
     when the decoding of a sequence results in a code point whose value
     exceeds 16#FF#.

57/3
   * By a Decode function yielding a Wide_String when the decoding of a
     sequence results in a code point whose value exceeds 16#FFFF#.

58/3
   * {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} By an Encode function taking a
     Wide_String as input when an invalid character appears in the
     input.  In particular, the characters whose position is in the
     range 16#D800# ..  16#DFFF# are invalid because they conflict with
     UTF-16 surrogate encodings, and the characters whose position is
     16#FFFE# or 16#FFFF# are also invalid because they conflict with
     BOM codes.

107/3

          string encoding schemes, a child of Ada.Strings similar to
          UTF_Encoding should be defined.

     NOTES

108/3
     18  {<AI05-0137-2AI05-0137-2>} A BOM (Byte-Order Mark, code
     position 16#FEFF#) can be included in a file or other entity to
     indicate the encoding; it is skipped when decoding.  Typically,
     only the first line of a file or other entity contains a BOM. When
     decoding, the Encoding function can be called on the first line to
     determine the encoding; this encoding will then be used in
     subsequent calls to Decode to convert all of the lines to an
     internal format.

A.5 The Numerics Packages
=========================

1
The library package Numerics is the parent of several child units that
provide facilities for mathematical computation.  One child, the generic
package Generic_Elementary_Functions, is defined in *note A.5.1::,
together with nongeneric equivalents; two others, the package
Float_Random and the generic package Discrete_Random, are defined in
*note A.5.2::.  Additional (optional) children are defined in *note
Annex G::, "*note Annex G:: Numerics".

                          _Static Semantics_

2/1
<This paragraph was deleted.>

3/2
     {<AI95-00388-01AI95-00388-01>} package Ada.Numerics is
        pragma Pure(Numerics);
        Argument_Error : exception;
        Pi : constant :=

     end Ada.Numerics;

4
The Argument_Error exception is raised by a subprogram in a child unit
of Numerics to signal that one or more of the actual subprogram
parameters are outside the domain of the corresponding mathematical
function.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

5
The implementation may specify the values of Pi and e to a larger number
of significant digits.

5.a
          Reason: 51 digits seem more than adequate for all present
          computers; converted to binary, the values given above are
          accurate to more than 160 bits.  Nevertheless, the permission

9/1
{<8652/00208652/0020>} {<AI95-00126-01AI95-00126-01>} The library
package Numerics.Elementary_Functions is declared pure and defines the
same subprograms as Numerics.Generic_Elementary_Functions, except that
the predefined type Float is systematically substituted for
Float_Type'Base throughout.  Nongeneric equivalents of
Numerics.Generic_Elementary_Functions for each of the other predefined
floating point types are defined similarly, with the names
Numerics.Short_Elementary_Functions, Numerics.Long_Elementary_Functions,
etc.

9.a
          Reason: The nongeneric equivalents are provided to allow the
          programmer to construct simple mathematical applications
          without being required to understand and use generics.

10
The functions have their usual mathematical meanings.  When the Base
parameter is specified, the Log function computes the logarithm to the
given base; otherwise, it computes the natural logarithm.  When the
Cycle parameter is specified, the parameter X of the forward
trigonometric functions (Sin, Cos, Tan, and Cot) and the results of the
inverse trigonometric functions (Arcsin, Arccos, Arctan, and Arccot) are
measured in units such that a full cycle of revolution has the given
value; otherwise, they are measured in radians.

11
The computed results of the mathematically multivalued functions are
rendered single-valued by the following conventions, which are meant to
imply the principal branch:

12
   * The results of the Sqrt and Arccosh functions and that of the
     exponentiation operator are nonnegative.

13
   * The result of the Arcsin function is in the quadrant containing the
     point (1.0, <x>), where <x> is the value of the parameter X. This
     quadrant is I or IV; thus, the range of the Arcsin function is
     approximately -PI/2.0 to PI/2.0 (-Cycle/4.0 to Cycle/4.0, if the
     parameter Cycle is specified).

14
   * The result of the Arccos function is in the quadrant containing the
     point (<x>, 1.0), where <x> is the value of the parameter X. This
     quadrant is I or II; thus, the Arccos function ranges from 0.0 to
     approximately PI (Cycle/2.0, if the parameter Cycle is specified).

15
   * The results of the Arctan and Arccot functions are in the quadrant
     containing the point (<x>, <y>), where <x> and <y> are the values
     of the parameters X and Y, respectively.  This may be any quadrant
     (I through IV) when the parameter X (resp., Y) of Arctan (resp.,
     Arccot) is specified, but it is restricted to quadrants I and IV
     (resp., I and II) when that parameter is omitted.  Thus, the range
     when that parameter is specified is approximately -PI to PI
     (-Cycle/2.0 to Cycle/2.0, if the parameter Cycle is specified);
     when omitted, the range of Arctan (resp., Arccot) is that of Arcsin
     (resp., Arccos), as given above.  When the point (<x>, <y>) lies on
     the negative x-axis, the result approximates

16
        * PI (resp., -PI) when the sign of the parameter Y is positive
          (resp., negative), if Float_Type'Signed_Zeros is True;

17
        * PI, if Float_Type'Signed_Zeros is False.

18
(In the case of the inverse trigonometric functions, in which a result
lying on or near one of the axes may not be exactly representable, the
approximation inherent in computing the result may place it in an
adjacent quadrant, close to but on the wrong side of the axis.)

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

19
The exception Numerics.Argument_Error is raised, signaling a parameter
value outside the domain of the corresponding mathematical function, in
the following cases:

20
   * by any forward or inverse trigonometric function with specified
     cycle, when the value of the parameter Cycle is zero or negative;

21
   * by the Log function with specified base, when the value of the
     parameter Base is zero, one, or negative;

22
   * by the Sqrt and Log functions, when the value of the parameter X is
     negative;

23
   * by the exponentiation operator, when the value of the left operand
     is negative or when both operands have the value zero;

24
   * by the Arcsin, Arccos, and Arctanh functions, when the absolute
     value of the parameter X exceeds one;

25
   * by the Arctan and Arccot functions, when the parameters X and Y
     both have the value zero;

26
   * by the Arccosh function, when the value of the parameter X is less
     than one; and

27
   * by the Arccoth function, when the absolute value of the parameter X
     is less than one.

28
The exception Constraint_Error is raised, signaling a pole of the
mathematical function (analogous to dividing by zero), in the following
cases, provided that Float_Type'Machine_Overflows is True:

29
   * by the Log, Cot, and Coth functions, when the value of the
     parameter X is zero;

30
   * by the exponentiation operator, when the value of the left operand
     is zero and the value of the exponent is negative;

31
   * by the Tan function with specified cycle, when the value of the
     parameter X is an odd multiple of the quarter cycle;

32
   * by the Cot function with specified cycle, when the value of the
     parameter X is zero or a multiple of the half cycle; and

33
   * by the Arctanh and Arccoth functions, when the absolute value of
     the parameter X is one.

34
[Constraint_Error can also be raised when a finite result overflows (see
*note G.2.4::); this may occur for parameter values sufficiently <near>
poles, and, in the case of some of the functions, for parameter values
with sufficiently large magnitudes.]  When Float_Type'Machine_Overflows
is False, the result at poles is unspecified.

34.a
          Reason: The purpose of raising Constraint_Error (rather than
          Numerics.Argument_Error) at the poles of a function, when
          Float_Type'Machine_Overflows is True, is to provide continuous
          behavior as the actual parameters of the function approach the
          pole and finally reach it.

34.b
          Discussion: It is anticipated that an Ada binding to IEC
          559:1989 will be developed in the future.  As part of such a
          binding, the Machine_Overflows attribute of a conformant
          floating point type will be specified to yield False, which
          will permit both the predefined arithmetic operations and
          implementations of the elementary functions to deliver signed
          infinities (and set the overflow flag defined by the binding)
          instead of raising Constraint_Error in overflow situations,
          when traps are disabled.  Similarly, it is appropriate for the
          elementary functions to deliver signed infinities (and set the
          zero-divide flag defined by the binding) instead of raising
          Constraint_Error at poles, when traps are disabled.  Finally,
          such a binding should also specify the behavior of the
          elementary functions, when sensible, given parameters with
          infinite values.

35
When one parameter of a function with multiple parameters represents a
pole and another is outside the function's domain, the latter takes
precedence (i.e., Numerics.Argument_Error is raised).

                     _Implementation Requirements_

36
In the implementation of Numerics.Generic_Elementary_Functions, the
range of intermediate values allowed during the calculation of a final
result shall not be affected by any range constraint of the subtype
Float_Type.

36.a
          Implementation Note: Implementations of
          Numerics.Generic_Elementary_Functions written in Ada should
          therefore avoid declaring local variables of subtype
          Float_Type; the subtype Float_Type'Base should be used
          instead.

37
In the following cases, evaluation of an elementary function shall yield
the <prescribed result>, provided that the preceding rules do not call
for an exception to be raised:

38
   * When the parameter X has the value zero, the Sqrt, Sin, Arcsin,
     Tan, Sinh, Arcsinh, Tanh, and Arctanh functions yield a result of
     zero, and the Exp, Cos, and Cosh functions yield a result of one.

39
   * When the parameter X has the value one, the Sqrt function yields a
     result of one, and the Log, Arccos, and Arccosh functions yield a
     result of zero.

40
   * When the parameter Y has the value zero and the parameter X has a
     positive value, the Arctan and Arccot functions yield a result of
     zero.

41
   * The results of the Sin, Cos, Tan, and Cot functions with specified
     cycle are exact when the mathematical result is zero; those of the
     first two are also exact when the mathematical result is ± 1.0.

42
   * Exponentiation by a zero exponent yields the value one.
     Exponentiation by a unit exponent yields the value of the left
     operand.  Exponentiation of the value one yields the value one.
     Exponentiation of the value zero yields the value zero.

43
Other accuracy requirements for the elementary functions, which apply
only in implementations conforming to the Numerics Annex, and then only
in the "strict" mode defined there (see *note G.2::), are given in *note
G.2.4::.

44
When Float_Type'Signed_Zeros is True, the sign of a zero result shall be
as follows:

45
   * A prescribed zero result delivered <at the origin> by one of the
     odd functions (Sin, Arcsin, Sinh, Arcsinh, Tan, Arctan or Arccot as
     a function of Y when X is fixed and positive, Tanh, and Arctanh)
     has the sign of the parameter X (Y, in the case of Arctan or
     Arccot).

46
   * A prescribed zero result delivered by one of the odd functions
     <away from the origin>, or by some other elementary function, has
     an implementation-defined sign.

46.a
          Implementation defined: The sign of a zero result from some of
          the operators or functions in
          Numerics.Generic_Elementary_Functions, when
          Float_Type'Signed_Zeros is True.

47
   * [A zero result that is not a prescribed result (i.e., one that
     results from rounding or underflow) has the correct mathematical
     sign.]

47.a
          Reason: This is a consequence of the rules specified in IEC
          559:1989 as they apply to underflow situations with traps
          disabled.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

48
The nongeneric equivalent packages may, but need not, be actual
instantiations of the generic package for the appropriate predefined
type.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

48.a
          The semantics of Numerics.Generic_Elementary_Functions differs
          from Generic_Elementary_Functions as defined in ISO/IEC DIS
          11430 (for Ada 83) in the following ways:

48.b
             * The generic package is a child unit of the package
               defining the Argument_Error exception.

48.c
             * DIS 11430 specified names for the nongeneric equivalents,
               if provided.  Here, those nongeneric equivalents are
               required.

48.d
             * Implementations are not allowed to impose an optional
               restriction that the generic actual parameter associated
               with Float_Type be unconstrained.  (In view of the
               ability to declare variables of subtype Float_Type'Base
               in implementations of
               Numerics.Generic_Elementary_Functions, this flexibility
               is no longer needed.)

48.e
             * The sign of a prescribed zero result at the origin of the
               odd functions is specified, when Float_Type'Signed_Zeros
               is True.  This conforms with recommendations of Kahan and
               other numerical analysts.

48.f
             * The dependence of Arctan and Arccot on the sign of a
               parameter value of zero is tied to the value of
               Float_Type'Signed_Zeros.

48.g
             * Sqrt is prescribed to yield a result of one when its
               parameter has the value one.  This guarantee makes it
               easier to achieve certain prescribed results of the
               complex elementary functions (see *note G.1.2::, "*note
               G.1.2:: Complex Elementary Functions").

48.h
             * Conformance to accuracy requirements is conditional.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

48.i/2
          {<8652/00208652/0020>} {<AI95-00126-01AI95-00126-01>}
          Corrigendum: Explicitly stated that the nongeneric equivalents
          of Generic_Elementary_Functions are pure.

A.5.2 Random Number Generation
------------------------------

1
[Facilities for the generation of pseudo-random floating point numbers
are provided in the package Numerics.Float_Random; the generic package
Numerics.Discrete_Random provides similar facilities for the generation
of pseudo-random integers and pseudo-random values of enumeration types.
For brevity, pseudo-random values of any of these types are called
<random numbers>.

2
Some of the facilities provided are basic to all applications of random
numbers.  These include a limited private type each of whose objects
serves as the generator of a (possibly distinct) sequence of random
numbers; a function to obtain the "next" random number from a given
sequence of random numbers (that is, from its generator); and
subprograms to initialize or reinitialize a given generator to a
time-dependent state or a state denoted by a single integer.

3
Other facilities are provided specifically for advanced applications.
These include subprograms to save and restore the state of a given
generator; a private type whose objects can be used to hold the saved
state of a generator; and subprograms to obtain a string representation
of a given generator state, or, given such a string representation, the
corresponding state.]

3.a
          Discussion: These facilities support a variety of requirements
          ranging from repeatable sequences (for debugging) to unique
          sequences in each execution of a program.

                          _Static Semantics_

          Numerics.Discrete_Random.Generator also can be implemented
          this way.

27.e
          Clearly some level of indirection is required in the
          implementation of a Generator, since the parameter mode is in
          for all operations on a Generator.  For this reason,
          Numerics.Float_Random and Numerics.Discrete_Random cannot be
          declared pure.

27.1/2
{<AI95-00360-01AI95-00360-01>} The type Generator needs finalization
(see *note 7.6::) in every instantiation of Numerics.Discrete_Random.

28
An object of the limited private type Generator is associated with a
sequence of random numbers.  Each generator has a hidden (internal)
state, which the operations on generators use to determine the position
in the associated sequence.  All generators are implicitly initialized
to an unspecified state that does not vary from one program execution to
another; they may also be explicitly initialized, or reinitialized, to a
time-dependent state, to a previously saved state, or to a state
uniquely denoted by an integer value.

28.a
          Discussion: The repeatability provided by the implicit
          initialization may be exploited for testing or debugging
          purposes.

29/3
{<AI05-0280-1AI05-0280-1>} An object of the private type State can be
used to hold the internal state of a generator.  Such objects are only
needed if the application is designed to save and restore generator
states or to examine or manufacture them.  The implicit initial value of
type State corresponds to the implicit initial value of all generators.

29.a/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0280-1AI05-0280-1>} All generators are
          implicitly initialized to the same unchanging value, and using
          Reset on a default initialized object of type State will
          produce a generator with that same value.

30
The operations on generators affect the state and therefore the future
values of the associated sequence.  The semantics of the operations on
generators and states are defined below.

31
     function Random (Gen : Generator) return Uniformly_Distributed;
     function Random (Gen : Generator) return Result_Subtype;

32
          Obtains the "next" random number from the given generator,
          relative to its current state, according to an
          implementation-defined algorithm.  The result of the function
          in Numerics.Float_Random is delivered as a value of the
          subtype Uniformly_Distributed, which is a subtype of the
          predefined type Float having a range of 0.0 ..  1.0.  The
          result of the function in an instantiation of
          Numerics.Discrete_Random is delivered as a value of the
          generic formal subtype Result_Subtype.

32.a/2
          <This paragraph was deleted.>

32.a.1/2
          Discussion: The algorithm is the subject of a Documentation
          Requirement, so we don't separately summarize this
          implementation-defined item.

32.b
          Reason: The requirement for a level of indirection in
          accessing the internal state of a generator arises from the
          desire to make Random a function, rather than a procedure.

33
     procedure Reset (Gen       : in Generator;
                      Initiator : in Integer);
     procedure Reset (Gen       : in Generator);

34
          Sets the state of the specified generator to one that is an
          unspecified function of the value of the parameter Initiator
          (or to a time-dependent state, if only a generator parameter
          is specified).  The latter form of the procedure is known as
          the <time-dependent Reset procedure>.

34.a
          Implementation Note: The time-dependent Reset procedure can be
          implemented by mapping the current time and date as determined
          by the system clock into a state, but other implementations
          are possible.  For example, a white-noise generator or a
          radioactive source can be used to generate time-dependent
          states.

35
     procedure Save  (Gen        : in  Generator;
                      To_State   : out State);
     procedure Reset (Gen        : in  Generator;
                      From_State : in  State);

36
          Save obtains the current state of a generator.  Reset gives a
          generator the specified state.  A generator that is reset to a
          state previously obtained by invoking Save is restored to the
          state it had when Save was invoked.

37
     function Image (Of_State    : State)  return String;
     function Value (Coded_State : String) return State;

38
          Image provides a representation of a state coded (in an
          implementation-defined way) as a string whose length is
          bounded by the value of Max_Image_Width.  Value is the inverse
          of Image: Value(Image(S)) = S for each state S that can be
          obtained from a generator by invoking Save.

38.a
          Implementation defined: The string representation of a random
          number generator's state.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

39
Instantiation of Numerics.Discrete_Random with a subtype having a null
range raises Constraint_Error.

40/1
<This paragraph was deleted.>{<8652/00508652/0050>}
{<AI95-00089AI95-00089>}

                      _Bounded (Run-Time) Errors_

40.1/1
{<8652/00508652/0050>} {<AI95-00089AI95-00089>} It is a bounded error to
invoke Value with a string that is not the image of any generator state.
If the error is detected, Constraint_Error or Program_Error is raised.
Otherwise, a call to Reset with the resulting state will produce a
generator such that calls to Random with this generator will produce a
sequence of values of the appropriate subtype, but which might not be
random in character.  That is, the sequence of values might not fulfill
the implementation requirements of this subclause.

                     _Implementation Requirements_

41
A sufficiently long sequence of random numbers obtained by successive
calls to Random is approximately uniformly distributed over the range of
the result subtype.

42
The Random function in an instantiation of Numerics.Discrete_Random is
guaranteed to yield each value in its result subtype in a finite number
of calls, provided that the number of such values does not exceed 2 15.

43
Other performance requirements for the random number generator, which
apply only in implementations conforming to the Numerics Annex, and then
only in the "strict" mode defined there (see *note G.2::), are given in
*note G.2.5::.

                     _Documentation Requirements_

44
No one algorithm for random number generation is best for all
applications.  To enable the user to determine the suitability of the
random number generators for the intended application, the
implementation shall describe the algorithm used and shall give its
period, if known exactly, or a lower bound on the period, if the exact
period is unknown.  Periods that are so long that the periodicity is
unobservable in practice can be described in such terms, without giving
a numerical bound.

44.a/2
          Documentation Requirement: The algorithm used for random
          number generation, including a description of its period.

45
The implementation also shall document the minimum time interval between
calls to the time-dependent Reset procedure that are guaranteed to
initiate different sequences, and it shall document the nature of the
strings that Value will accept without raising Constraint_Error.

45.a/2
          <This paragraph was deleted.>

45.b/2
          Documentation Requirement: The minimum time interval between
          calls to the time-dependent Reset procedure that is guaranteed
          to initiate different random number sequences.

                        _Implementation Advice_

46
Any storage associated with an object of type Generator should be
reclaimed on exit from the scope of the object.

46.a.1/2
          Implementation Advice: Any storage associated with an object
          of type Generator of the random number packages should be
          reclaimed on exit from the scope of the object.

46.a
          Ramification: A level of indirection is implicit in the
          semantics of the operations, given that they all take
          parameters of mode in.  This implies that the full type of
          Generator probably should be a controlled type, with
          appropriate finalization to reclaim any heap-allocated
          storage.

47
If the generator period is sufficiently long in relation to the number
of distinct initiator values, then each possible value of Initiator
passed to Reset should initiate a sequence of random numbers that does
not, in a practical sense, overlap the sequence initiated by any other
value.  If this is not possible, then the mapping between initiator
values and generator states should be a rapidly varying function of the
initiator value.

47.a/2
          Implementation Advice: Each value of Initiator passed to Reset
          for the random number packages should initiate a distinct
          sequence of random numbers, or, if that is not possible, be at
          least a rapidly varying function of the initiator value.

     NOTES

48
     19  If two or more tasks are to share the same generator, then the
     tasks have to synchronize their access to the generator as for any
     shared variable (see *note 9.10::).

49
     20  Within a given implementation, a repeatable random number
     sequence can be obtained by relying on the implicit initialization
     of generators or by explicitly initializing a generator with a
     repeatable initiator value.  Different sequences of random numbers
     can be obtained from a given generator in different program
     executions by explicitly initializing the generator to a
     time-dependent state.

50
     21  A given implementation of the Random function in
     Numerics.Float_Random may or may not be capable of delivering the
     values 0.0 or 1.0.  Portable applications should assume that these
     values, or values sufficiently close to them to behave
     indistinguishably from them, can occur.  If a sequence of random
     integers from some fixed range is needed, the application should
     use the Random function in an appropriate instantiation of
     Numerics.Discrete_Random, rather than transforming the result of
     the Random function in Numerics.Float_Random.  However, some
     applications with unusual requirements, such as for a sequence of
     random integers each drawn from a different range, will find it
     more convenient to transform the result of the floating point
     Random function.  For M >= 1, the expression

51
             Integer(Float(M) * Random(G)) mod M

52
     transforms the result of Random(G) to an integer uniformly
     distributed over the range 0 ..  M-1; it is valid even if Random
     delivers 0.0 or 1.0.  Each value of the result range is possible,
     provided that M is not too large.  Exponentially distributed
     (floating point) random numbers with mean and standard deviation
     1.0 can be obtained by the transformation

53/2
          {<AI95-00434-01AI95-00434-01>}    -Log(Random(G) + Float'Model_Small)

54
     where Log comes from Numerics.Elementary_Functions (see *note
     A.5.1::); in this expression, the addition of Float'Model_Small
     avoids the exception that would be raised were Log to be given the
     value zero, without affecting the result (in most implementations)
     when Random returns a nonzero value.

                              _Examples_

        use Random_Die;
        G : Generator;
        D : Dice;
     begin
        Reset (G);  -- <Start the generator in a unique state in each run>
        loop
           -- <Roll a pair of dice; sum and process the results>
           D := Random(G) + Random(G);
           ...
        end loop;
     end Dice_Game;

           -- <Toss a coin and process the result>
           case Random(G) is
               when Heads =>
                  ...
               when Tails =>
                  ...
           end case;

        end loop;
     end Flip_A_Coin;

59
<Example of a parallel simulation of a physical system, with a separate
generator of event probabilities in each task:>

60
     with Ada.Numerics.Float_Random;
     procedure Parallel_Simulation is
        use Ada.Numerics.Float_Random;
        task type Worker is
           entry Initialize_Generator (Initiator : in Integer);
           ...
        end Worker;
        W : array (1 .. 10) of Worker;
        task body Worker is
           G : Generator;
           Probability_Of_Event : Uniformly_Distributed;
        begin
           accept Initialize_Generator (Initiator : in Integer) do
              Reset (G, Initiator);
           end Initialize_Generator;

              ...
              Probability_Of_Event := Random(G);

        end Worker;
     begin
        -- <Initialize the generators in the Worker tasks to different states>
        for I in W'Range loop
           W(I).Initialize_Generator (I);
        end loop;
        ... -- <Wait for the Worker tasks to terminate>
     end Parallel_Simulation;

     NOTES

61
     22  <Notes on the last example:> Although each Worker task
     initializes its generator to a different state, those states will
     be the same in every execution of the program.  The generator
     states can be initialized uniquely in each program execution by
     instantiating Ada.Numerics.Discrete_Random for the type Integer in
     the main procedure, resetting the generator obtained from that
     instance to a time-dependent state, and then using random integers
     obtained from that generator to initialize the generators in each
     Worker task.

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 95_

61.a/2
          {<AI95-00360-01AI95-00360-01>} Amendment Correction: Type
          Generator in Numerics.Float_Random and in an instance of
          Numerics.Discrete_Random is defined to need finalization.  If
          the restriction No_Nested_Finalization (see *note D.7::)
          applies to the partition, and Generator does not have a
          controlled part, it will not be allowed in local objects in
          Ada 2005 whereas it would be allowed in original Ada 95.  Such
          code is not portable, as another Ada compiler may have a
          controlled part in Generator, and thus would be illegal.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

61.b/3
          {<8652/00508652/0050>} {<AI95-00089-01AI95-00089-01>}
          {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} Corrigendum: Made the passing of an
          incorrect Image of a generator a bounded error, as it might
          not be practical to check for problems (if a generator
          consists of several related values).

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

61.c/3
          {<AI05-0280-1AI05-0280-1>} Correction: Specified the implicit
          initial value for (sub)type State.  This was unspecified in
          Ada 95 and Ada 2005, so a program depending on some other
          initial value is very unlikely and certainly was not portable.
          An implementation can use default expressions, aspect
          Default_Value, or aspect Default_Component_Value to keep the
          representation of the type unchanged while meeting this new
          requirement.

A.5.3 Attributes of Floating Point Types
----------------------------------------

                          _Static Semantics_

1
The following <representation-oriented attributes> are defined for every
subtype S of a floating point type <T>.

2
S'Machine_Radix
               Yields the radix of the hardware representation of the
               type <T>.  The value of this attribute is of the type
               <universal_integer>.

3
The values of other representation-oriented attributes of a floating
point subtype, and of the "primitive function" attributes of a floating
point subtype described later, are defined in terms of a particular
representation of nonzero values called the <canonical form>.  The
canonical form (for the type <T>) is the form
    ± <mantissa> · <T>'Machine_Radix<exponent>
where

4
   * <mantissa> is a fraction in the number base <T>'Machine_Radix, the
     first digit of which is nonzero, and

5
   * <exponent> is an integer.

6
S'Machine_Mantissa
               Yields the largest value of <p> such that every value
               expressible in the canonical form (for the type <T>),
               having a <p>-digit <mantissa> and an <exponent> between
               <T>'Machine_Emin and <T>'Machine_Emax, is a machine
               number (see *note 3.5.7::) of the type <T>.  This
               attribute yields a value of the type <universal_integer>.

6.a
          Ramification: Values of a type held in an extended register
          are, in general, not machine numbers of the type, since they
          cannot be expressed in the canonical form with a sufficiently
          short <mantissa>.

7
S'Machine_Emin
               Yields the smallest (most negative) value of <exponent>
               such that every value expressible in the canonical form
               (for the type <T>), having a <mantissa> of
               <T>'Machine_Mantissa digits, is a machine number (see
               *note 3.5.7::) of the type <T>.  This attribute yields a
               value of the type <universal_integer>.

8
S'Machine_Emax
               Yields the largest (most positive) value of <exponent>
               such that every value expressible in the canonical form
               (for the type <T>), having a <mantissa> of
               <T>'Machine_Mantissa digits, is a machine number (see
               *note 3.5.7::) of the type <T>.  This attribute yields a
               value of the type <universal_integer>.

8.a
          Ramification: Note that the above definitions do not determine
          unique values for the representation-oriented attributes of
          floating point types.  The implementation may choose any set
          of values that collectively satisfies the definitions.

9
S'Denorm
               Yields the value True if every value expressible in the
               form
                   ± <mantissa> · <T>'Machine_Radix<T>'Machine_Emin
               where <mantissa> is a nonzero <T>'Machine_Mantissa-digit
               fraction in the number base <T>'Machine_Radix, the first
               digit of which is zero, is a machine number (see *note
               3.5.7::) of the type <T>; yields the value False
               otherwise.  The value of this attribute is of the
               predefined type Boolean.

10
The values described by the formula in the definition of S'Denorm are
called <denormalized numbers>.  A nonzero machine number that is not a
denormalized number is a <normalized number>.  A normalized number <x>
of a given type <T> is said to be <represented in canonical form> when
it is expressed in the canonical form (for the type <T>) with a
<mantissa> having <T>'Machine_Mantissa digits; the resulting form is the
<canonical-form representation> of <x>.

10.a
          Discussion: The intent is that S'Denorm be True when such
          denormalized numbers exist and are generated in the
          circumstances defined by IEC 559:1989, though the latter
          requirement is not formalized here.

11
S'Machine_Rounds
               Yields the value True if rounding is performed on inexact
               results of every predefined operation that yields a
               result of the type <T>; yields the value False otherwise.
               The value of this attribute is of the predefined type
               Boolean.

11.a
          Discussion: It is difficult to be more precise about what it
          means to round the result of a predefined operation.  If the
          implementation does not use extended registers, so that every
          arithmetic result is necessarily a machine number, then
          rounding seems to imply two things:

11.b
             * S'Model_Mantissa = S'Machine_Mantissa, so that operand
               preperturbation never occurs;

11.c
             * when the exact mathematical result is not a machine
               number, the result of a predefined operation must be the
               nearer of the two adjacent machine numbers.

11.d
          Technically, this attribute should yield False when extended
          registers are used, since a few computed results will cross
          over the half-way point as a result of double rounding, if and
          when a value held in an extended register has to be reduced in
          precision to that of the machine numbers.  It does not seem
          desirable to preclude the use of extended registers when
          S'Machine_Rounds could otherwise be True.

12
S'Machine_Overflows
               Yields the value True if overflow and divide-by-zero are
               detected and reported by raising Constraint_Error for
               every predefined operation that yields a result of the
               type <T>; yields the value False otherwise.  The value of
               this attribute is of the predefined type Boolean.

13
S'Signed_Zeros
               Yields the value True if the hardware representation for
               the type <T> has the capability of representing both
               positively and negatively signed zeros, these being
               generated and used by the predefined operations of the
               type <T> as specified in IEC 559:1989; yields the value
               False otherwise.  The value of this attribute is of the
               predefined type Boolean.

14
For every value <x> of a floating point type <T>, the <normalized
exponent> of <x> is defined as follows:

15
   * the normalized exponent of zero is (by convention) zero;

16
   * for nonzero <x>, the normalized exponent of <x> is the unique
     integer <k> such that <T>'Machine_Radix<k>-1 <= |<x>| <
     <T>'Machine_Radix<k>.

16.a
          Ramification: The normalized exponent of a normalized number
          <x> is the value of <exponent> in the canonical-form
          representation of <x>.

16.b
          The normalized exponent of a denormalized number is less than
          the value of <T>'Machine_Emin.

17
The following <primitive function attributes> are defined for any
subtype S of a floating point type <T>.

18
S'Exponent
               S'Exponent denotes a function with the following
               specification:

19
                    function S'Exponent (<X> : <T>)
                      return <universal_integer>

20
               The function yields the normalized exponent of <X>.

21
S'Fraction
               S'Fraction denotes a function with the following
               specification:

22
                    function S'Fraction (<X> : <T>)
                      return <T>

23
               The function yields the value <X> ·
               <T>'Machine_Radix-<k>, where <k> is the normalized
               exponent of <X>.  A zero result[, which can only occur
               when <X> is zero,] has the sign of <X>.

23.a
          Discussion: Informally, when <X> is a normalized number, the
          result is the value obtained by replacing the <exponent> by
          zero in the canonical-form representation of <X>.

23.b
          Ramification: Except when <X> is zero, the magnitude of the
          result is greater than or equal to the reciprocal of
          <T>'Machine_Radix and less than one; consequently, the result
          is always a normalized number, even when <X> is a denormalized
          number.

23.c
          Implementation Note: When <X> is a denormalized number, the
          result is the value obtained by replacing the <exponent> by
          zero in the canonical-form representation of the result of
          scaling <X> up sufficiently to normalize it.

24
S'Compose
               S'Compose denotes a function with the following
               specification:

25
                    function S'Compose (<Fraction> : <T>;
                                        <Exponent> : <universal_integer>)
                      return <T>

26
               Let <v> be the value <Fraction> ·
               <T>'Machine_Radix<Exponent>-<k>, where <k> is the
               normalized exponent of <Fraction>.  If <v> is a machine
               number of the type <T>, or if |<v>| >= <T>'Model_Small,
               the function yields <v>; otherwise, it yields either one
               of the machine numbers of the type <T> adjacent to <v>.  
               Constraint_Error is optionally raised if <v> is outside
               the base range of S. A zero result has the sign of
               <Fraction> when S'Signed_Zeros is True.

26.a
          Discussion: Informally, when <Fraction> and <v> are both
          normalized numbers, the result is the value obtained by
          replacing the <exponent> by <Exponent> in the canonical-form
          representation of <Fraction>.

26.b
          Ramification: If <Exponent> is less than <T>'Machine_Emin and
          <Fraction> is nonzero, the result is either zero,
          <T>'Model_Small, or (if <T>'Denorm is True) a denormalized
          number.

27
S'Scaling
               S'Scaling denotes a function with the following
               specification:

28
                    function S'Scaling (<X> : <T>;
                                        <Adjustment> : <universal_integer>)
                      return <T>

29
               Let <v> be the value <X> · <T>'Machine_Radix<Adjustment>.
               If <v> is a machine number of the type <T>, or if |<v>|
               >= <T>'Model_Small, the function yields <v>; otherwise,
               it yields either one of the machine numbers of the type
               <T> adjacent to <v>.  Constraint_Error is optionally
               raised if <v> is outside the base range of S. A zero
               result has the sign of <X> when S'Signed_Zeros is True.

29.a
          Discussion: Informally, when <X> and <v> are both normalized
          numbers, the result is the value obtained by increasing the
          <exponent> by <Adjustment> in the canonical-form
          representation of <X>.

29.b
          Ramification: If <Adjustment> is sufficiently small (i.e.,
          sufficiently negative), the result is either zero,
          <T>'Model_Small, or (if <T>'Denorm is True) a denormalized
          number.

30
S'Floor
               S'Floor denotes a function with the following
               specification:

31
                    function S'Floor (<X> : <T>)
                      return <T>

32
               The function yields the value 'floor(<X>)', i.e., the
               largest (most positive) integral value less than or equal
               to <X>.  When <X> is zero, the result has the sign of
               <X>; a zero result otherwise has a positive sign.

33
S'Ceiling
               S'Ceiling denotes a function with the following
               specification:

34
                    function S'Ceiling (<X> : <T>)
                      return <T>

35
               The function yields the value 'ceiling(<X>)', i.e., the
               smallest (most negative) integral value greater than or
               equal to <X>.  When <X> is zero, the result has the sign
               of <X>; a zero result otherwise has a negative sign when
               S'Signed_Zeros is True.

36
S'Rounding
               S'Rounding denotes a function with the following
               specification:

37
                    function S'Rounding (<X> : <T>)
                      return <T>

38
               The function yields the integral value nearest to <X>,
               rounding away from zero if <X> lies exactly halfway
               between two integers.  A zero result has the sign of <X>
               when S'Signed_Zeros is True.

39
S'Unbiased_Rounding
               S'Unbiased_Rounding denotes a function with the following
               specification:

40
                    function S'Unbiased_Rounding (<X> : <T>)
                      return <T>

41
               The function yields the integral value nearest to <X>,
               rounding toward the even integer if <X> lies exactly
               halfway between two integers.  A zero result has the sign
               of <X> when S'Signed_Zeros is True.

41.1/2
S'Machine_Rounding
               {<AI95-00267-01AI95-00267-01>} S'Machine_Rounding denotes
               a function with the following specification:

41.2/2
                    function S'Machine_Rounding (<X> : <T>)
                      return <T>

41.3/2
               The function yields the integral value nearest to <X>.
               If <X> lies exactly halfway between two integers, one of
               those integers is returned, but which of them is returned
               is unspecified.  A zero result has the sign of <X> when
               S'Signed_Zeros is True.  This function provides access to
               the rounding behavior which is most efficient on the
               target processor.

41.a.1/2
          Discussion: We leave the rounding unspecified, so that users
          cannot depend on a particular rounding.  This attribute is
          intended for use in cases where the particular rounding chosen
          is irrelevant.  If there is a need to know which way values
          halfway between two integers are rounded, one of the other
          rounding attributes should be used.

42
S'Truncation
               S'Truncation denotes a function with the following
               specification:

43
                    function S'Truncation (<X> : <T>)
                      return <T>

44
               The function yields the value 'ceiling(<X>)' when <X> is
               negative, and 'floor(<X>)' otherwise.  A zero result has
               the sign of <X> when S'Signed_Zeros is True.

45
S'Remainder
               S'Remainder denotes a function with the following
               specification:

46
                    function S'Remainder (<X>, <Y> : <T>)
                      return <T>

47
               For nonzero <Y>, let <v> be the value <X> - <n> · <Y>,
               where <n> is the integer nearest to the exact value of
               <X>/<Y>; if |<n> - <X>/<Y>| = 1/2, then <n> is chosen to
               be even.  If <v> is a machine number of the type <T>, the
               function yields <v>; otherwise, it yields zero.  
               Constraint_Error is raised if <Y> is zero.  A zero result
               has the sign of <X> when S'Signed_Zeros is True.

47.a
          Ramification: The magnitude of the result is less than or
          equal to one-half the magnitude of <Y>.

47.b
          Discussion: Given machine numbers <X> and <Y> of the type <T>,
          <v> is necessarily a machine number of the type <T>, except
          when <Y> is in the neighborhood of zero, <X> is sufficiently
          close to a multiple of <Y>, and <T>'Denorm is False.

48
S'Adjacent
               S'Adjacent denotes a function with the following
               specification:

49
                    function S'Adjacent (<X>, <Towards> : <T>)
                      return <T>

50
               If <Towards> = <X>, the function yields <X>; otherwise,
               it yields the machine number of the type <T> adjacent to
               <X> in the direction of <Towards>, if that machine number
               exists.  If the result would be outside the base range of
               S, Constraint_Error is raised.  When <T>'Signed_Zeros is
               True, a zero result has the sign of <X>.  When <Towards>
               is zero, its sign has no bearing on the result.

50.a
          Ramification: The value of S'Adjacent(0.0, 1.0) is the
          smallest normalized positive number of the type <T> when
          <T>'Denorm is False and the smallest denormalized positive
          number of the type <T> when <T>'Denorm is True.

51
S'Copy_Sign
               S'Copy_Sign denotes a function with the following
               specification:

52
                    function S'Copy_Sign (<Value>, <Sign> : <T>)
                      return <T>

53
               If the value of <Value> is nonzero, the function yields a
               result whose magnitude is that of <Value> and whose sign
               is that of <Sign>; otherwise, it yields the value zero.  
               Constraint_Error is optionally raised if the result is
               outside the base range of S. A zero result has the sign
               of <Sign> when S'Signed_Zeros is True.

53.a
          Discussion: S'Copy_Sign is provided for convenience in
          restoring the sign to a quantity from which it has been
          temporarily removed, or to a related quantity.  When
          S'Signed_Zeros is True, it is also instrumental in determining
          the sign of a zero quantity, when required.  (Because negative
          and positive zeros compare equal in systems conforming to IEC
          559:1989, a negative zero does <not> appear to be negative
          when compared to zero.)  The sign determination is
          accomplished by transferring the sign of the zero quantity to
          a nonzero quantity and then testing for a negative result.

54
S'Leading_Part
               S'Leading_Part denotes a function with the following
               specification:

55
                    function S'Leading_Part (<X> : <T>;
                                             <Radix_Digits> : <universal_integer>)
                      return <T>

56
               Let <v> be the value <T>'Machine_Radix<k>-<Radix_Digits>,
               where <k> is the normalized exponent of <X>.  The
               function yields the value

57
                  * 'floor(<X>/<v>)' · <v>, when <X> is nonnegative and
                    <Radix_Digits> is positive;

58
                  * 'ceiling(<X>/<v>)' · <v>, when <X> is negative and
                    <Radix_Digits> is positive.

59
               Constraint_Error is raised when <Radix_Digits> is zero or
               negative.  A zero result[, which can only occur when <X>
               is zero,] has the sign of <X>.

59.a
          Discussion: Informally, if <X> is nonzero, the result is the
          value obtained by retaining only the specified number of
          (leading) significant digits of <X> (in the machine radix),
          setting all other digits to zero.

59.b
          Implementation Note: The result can be obtained by first
          scaling <X> up, if necessary to normalize it, then masking the
          mantissa so as to retain only the specified number of leading
          digits, then scaling the result back down if <X> was scaled
          up.

60
S'Machine
               S'Machine denotes a function with the following
               specification:

61
                    function S'Machine (<X> : <T>)
                      return <T>

62
               If <X> is a machine number of the type <T>, the function
               yields <X>; otherwise, it yields the value obtained by
               rounding or truncating <X> to either one of the adjacent
               machine numbers of the type <T>.  Constraint_Error is
               raised if rounding or truncating <X> to the precision of
               the machine numbers results in a value outside the base
               range of S. A zero result has the sign of <X> when
               S'Signed_Zeros is True.

62.a/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} All of the primitive
          function attributes except Rounding and Machine correspond to
          subprograms in the Generic_Primitive_Functions generic package
          that was proposed as a separate ISO standard (ISO/IEC DIS
          11729) for Ada 83.  The Scaling, Unbiased_Rounding, and
          Truncation attributes correspond to the Scale, Round, and
          Truncate functions, respectively, in
          Generic_Primitive_Functions.  The Rounding attribute rounds
          away from zero; this functionality was not provided in
          Generic_Primitive_Functions.  The name Round was not available
          for either of the primitive function attributes that perform
          rounding, since an attribute of that name is used for a
          different purpose for decimal fixed point types.  Likewise,
          the name Scale was not available, since an attribute of that
          name is also used for a different purpose for decimal fixed
          point types.  The functionality of the Machine attribute was
          also not provided in Generic_Primitive_Functions.  The
          functionality of the Decompose procedure of
          Generic_Primitive_Functions is only provided in the form of
          the separate attributes Exponent and Fraction.  The
          functionality of the Successor and Predecessor functions of
          Generic_Primitive_Functions is provided by the extension of
          the existing Succ and Pred attributes.

62.b
          Implementation Note: The primitive function attributes may be
          implemented either with appropriate floating point arithmetic
          operations or with integer and logical operations that act on
          parts of the representation directly.  The latter is strongly
          encouraged when it is more efficient than the former; it is
          mandatory when the former cannot deliver the required accuracy
          due to limitations of the implementation's arithmetic
          operations.

63
The following <model-oriented attributes> are defined for any subtype S
of a floating point type <T>.

64
S'Model_Mantissa
               If the Numerics Annex is not supported, this attribute
               yields an implementation defined value that is greater
               than or equal to 'ceiling(<d> · log(10) /
               log(<T>'Machine_Radix))' + 1, where <d> is the requested
               decimal precision of <T>, and less than or equal to the
               value of <T>'Machine_Mantissa.  See *note G.2.2:: for
               further requirements that apply to implementations
               supporting the Numerics Annex.  The value of this
               attribute is of the type <universal_integer>.

65
S'Model_Emin
               If the Numerics Annex is not supported, this attribute
               yields an implementation defined value that is greater
               than or equal to the value of <T>'Machine_Emin.  See
               *note G.2.2:: for further requirements that apply to
               implementations supporting the Numerics Annex.  The value
               of this attribute is of the type <universal_integer>.

66
S'Model_Epsilon
               Yields the value <T>'Machine_Radix1 - <T>'Model_Mantissa.
               The value of this attribute is of the type
               <universal_real>.

66.a
          Discussion: In most implementations, this attribute yields the
          absolute value of the difference between one and the smallest
          machine number of the type <T> above one which, when added to
          one, yields a machine number different from one.  Further
          discussion can be found in *note G.2.2::.

67
S'Model_Small
               Yields the value <T>'Machine_Radix<T>'Model_Emin - 1.
               The value of this attribute is of the type
               <universal_real>.

67.a
          Discussion: In most implementations, this attribute yields the
          smallest positive normalized number of the type <T>, i.e.  the
          number corresponding to the positive underflow threshold.  In
          some implementations employing a radix-complement
          representation for the type <T>, the positive underflow
          threshold is closer to zero than is the negative underflow
          threshold, with the consequence that the smallest positive
          normalized number does not coincide with the positive
          underflow threshold (i.e., it exceeds the latter).  Further
          discussion can be found in *note G.2.2::.

68
S'Model
               S'Model denotes a function with the following
               specification:

69
                    function S'Model (<X> : <T>)
                      return <T>

70
               If the Numerics Annex is not supported, the meaning of
               this attribute is implementation defined; see *note
               G.2.2:: for the definition that applies to
               implementations supporting the Numerics Annex.

71
S'Safe_First
               Yields the lower bound of the safe range (see *note
               3.5.7::) of the type <T>.  If the Numerics Annex is not
               supported, the value of this attribute is implementation
               defined; see *note G.2.2:: for the definition that
               applies to implementations supporting the Numerics Annex.
               The value of this attribute is of the type
               <universal_real>.

72
S'Safe_Last
               Yields the upper bound of the safe range (see *note
               3.5.7::) of the type <T>.  If the Numerics Annex is not
               supported, the value of this attribute is implementation
               defined; see *note G.2.2:: for the definition that
               applies to implementations supporting the Numerics Annex.
               The value of this attribute is of the type
               <universal_real>.

72.a
          Discussion: A predefined floating point arithmetic operation
          that yields a value in the safe range of its result type is
          guaranteed not to overflow.

72.b
          To be honest: An exception is made for exponentiation by a
          negative exponent in *note 4.5.6::.

72.c
          Implementation defined: The values of the Model_Mantissa,
          Model_Emin, Model_Epsilon, Model, Safe_First, and Safe_Last
          attributes, if the Numerics Annex is not supported.

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 83_

72.d
          The Epsilon and Mantissa attributes of floating point types
          are removed from the language and replaced by Model_Epsilon
          and Model_Mantissa, which may have different values (as a
          result of changes in the definition of model numbers); the
          replacement of one set of attributes by another is intended to
          convert what would be an inconsistent change into an
          incompatible change.

72.e
          The Emax, Small, Large, Safe_Emax, Safe_Small, and Safe_Large
          attributes of floating point types are removed from the
          language.  Small and Safe_Small are collectively replaced by
          Model_Small, which is functionally equivalent to Safe_Small,
          though it may have a slightly different value.  The others are
          collectively replaced by Safe_First and Safe_Last.  Safe_Last
          is functionally equivalent to Safe_Large, though it may have a
          different value; Safe_First is comparable to the negation of
          Safe_Large but may differ slightly from it as well as from the
          negation of Safe_Last.  Emax and Safe_Emax had relatively few
          uses in Ada 83; T'Safe_Emax can be computed in the revised
          language as Integer'Min(T'Exponent(T'Safe_First),
          T'Exponent(T'Safe_Last)).

72.f
          Implementations are encouraged to eliminate the
          incompatibilities discussed here by retaining the old
          attributes, during a transition period, in the form of
          implementation-defined attributes with their former values.

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

72.g
          The Model_Emin attribute is new.  It is conceptually similar
          to the negation of Safe_Emax attribute of Ada 83, adjusted for
          the fact that the model numbers now have the hardware radix.
          It is a fundamental determinant, along with Model_Mantissa, of
          the set of model numbers of a type (see *note G.2.1::).

72.h
          The Denorm and Signed_Zeros attributes are new, as are all of
          the primitive function attributes.

A.5.4 Attributes of Fixed Point Types
-------------------------------------

                          _Static Semantics_

1
The following <representation-oriented> attributes are defined for every
subtype S of a fixed point type <T>.

2
S'Machine_Radix
               Yields the radix of the hardware representation of the
               type <T>.  The value of this attribute is of the type
               <universal_integer>.

3
S'Machine_Rounds
               Yields the value True if rounding is performed on inexact
               results of every predefined operation that yields a
               result of the type <T>; yields the value False otherwise.
               The value of this attribute is of the predefined type
               Boolean.

4
S'Machine_Overflows
               Yields the value True if overflow and divide-by-zero are
               detected and reported by raising Constraint_Error for
               every predefined operation that yields a result of the
               type <T>; yields the value False otherwise.  The value of
               this attribute is of the predefined type Boolean.

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 83_

4.a
          The Mantissa, Large, Safe_Small, and Safe_Large attributes of
          fixed point types are removed from the language.

4.b
          Implementations are encouraged to eliminate the resulting
          incompatibility by retaining these attributes, during a
          transition period, in the form of implementation-defined
          attributes with their former values.

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

4.c
          The Machine_Radix attribute is now allowed for fixed point
          types.  It is also specifiable in an attribute definition
          clause (see *note F.1::).

A.6 Input-Output
================

1/2
{<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} [ Input-output is provided through
language-defined packages, each of which is a child of the root package
Ada.  The generic packages Sequential_IO and Direct_IO define
input-output operations applicable to files containing elements of a
given type.  The generic package Storage_IO supports reading from and
writing to an in-memory buffer.  Additional operations for text
input-output are supplied in the packages Text_IO, Wide_Text_IO, and
Wide_Wide_Text_IO. Heterogeneous input-output is provided through the
child packages Streams.Stream_IO and Text_IO.Text_Streams (see also
*note 13.13::).  The package IO_Exceptions defines the exceptions needed
by the predefined input-output packages.]

          The introduction of Append_File as a new element of the
          enumeration type File_Mode in Sequential_IO and Text_IO, and
          the introduction of several new declarations in Text_IO, may
          result in name clashes in the presence of use clauses.

A.7 External Files and File Objects
===================================

                          _Static Semantics_

1
Values input from the external environment of the program, or output to
the external environment, are considered to occupy <external files>.  An
external file can be anything external to the program that can produce a
value to be read or receive a value to be written.  An external file is
identified by a string (the <name>).  A second string (the <form>) gives
further system-dependent characteristics that may be associated with the
file, such as the physical organization or access rights.  The
conventions governing the interpretation of such strings shall be
documented.

2/3
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} Input and output operations are expressed as
operations on objects of some <file type>, rather than directly in terms
of the external files.  In the remainder of this clause, the term <file>
is always used to refer to a file object; the term <external file> is
used otherwise.

3
Input-output for sequential files of values of a single element type is
defined by means of the generic package Sequential_IO. In order to
define sequential input-output for a given element type, an
instantiation of this generic unit, with the given type as actual
parameter, has to be declared.  The resulting package contains the
declaration of a file type (called File_Type) for files of such
elements, as well as the operations applicable to these files, such as
the Open, Read, and Write procedures.

4/2
{<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} Input-output for direct access files is
likewise defined by a generic package called Direct_IO. Input-output in
human-readable form is defined by the (nongeneric) packages Text_IO for
Character and String data, Wide_Text_IO for Wide_Character and
Wide_String data, and Wide_Wide_Text_IO for Wide_Wide_Character and
Wide_Wide_String data.  Input-output for files containing streams of
elements representing values of possibly different types is defined by
means of the (nongeneric) package Streams.Stream_IO.

5
Before input or output operations can be performed on a file, the file
first has to be associated with an external file.  While such an
association is in effect, the file is said to be <open>, and otherwise
the file is said to be <closed>.

6
The language does not define what happens to external files after the
completion of the main program and all the library tasks (in particular,
if corresponding files have not been closed).  The effect of
input-output for access types is unspecified.

7
An open file has a <current mode>, which is a value of one of the
following enumeration types:

8
     type File_Mode is (In_File, Inout_File, Out_File);  --<  for Direct_IO>

9
          These values correspond respectively to the cases where only
          reading, both reading and writing, or only writing are to be
          performed.

10/2
     {<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} type File_Mode is (In_File, Out_File, Append_File);
     --<  for Sequential_IO, Text_IO, Wide_Text_IO, Wide_Wide_Text_IO, and Stream_IO>

11
          These values correspond respectively to the cases where only
          reading, only writing, or only appending are to be performed.

12
          The mode of a file can be changed.

13/2
{<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} Several file management operations are
common to Sequential_IO, Direct_IO, Text_IO, Wide_Text_IO, and
Wide_Wide_Text_IO. These operations are described in subclause *note
A.8.2:: for sequential and direct files.  Any additional effects
concerning text input-output are described in subclause *note A.10.2::.

14/3
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} The exceptions that can be propagated by the
execution of an input-output subprogram are defined in the package
IO_Exceptions; the situations in which they can be propagated are
described following the description of the subprogram (and in subclause
*note A.13::).  The exceptions Storage_Error and Program_Error may be
propagated.  (Program_Error can only be propagated due to errors made by
the caller of the subprogram.)  Finally, exceptions can be propagated in
certain implementation-defined situations.

14.a/2
          <This paragraph was deleted.>

14.b/2
          Discussion: The last sentence here is referring to the
          documentation requirements in *note A.13::, "*note A.13::
          Exceptions in Input-Output", and the documentation summary
          item is provided there.

     NOTES

15/2
     23  {<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} Each instantiation of the
     generic packages Sequential_IO and Direct_IO declares a different
     type File_Type.  In the case of Text_IO, Wide_Text_IO,
     Wide_Wide_Text_IO, and Streams.Stream_IO, the corresponding type
     File_Type is unique.

16
     24  A bidirectional device can often be modeled as two sequential
     files associated with the device, one of mode In_File, and one of
     mode Out_File.  An implementation may restrict the number of files
     that may be associated with a given external file.

A.8 Sequential and Direct Files
===============================

                          _Static Semantics_

1/2
{<AI95-00283-01AI95-00283-01>} Two kinds of access to external files are
defined in this subclause: <sequential access> and <direct access>.  The
corresponding file types and the associated operations are provided by
the generic packages Sequential_IO and Direct_IO. A file object to be
used for sequential access is called a <sequential file>, and one to be
used for direct access is called a <direct file>.  Access to <stream
file>s is described in *note A.12.1::.

2
For sequential access, the file is viewed as a sequence of values that
are transferred in the order of their appearance (as produced by the
program or by the external environment).  When the file is opened with
mode In_File or Out_File, transfer starts respectively from or to the
beginning of the file.  When the file is opened with mode Append_File,
transfer to the file starts after the last element of the file.

2.a
          Discussion: Adding stream I/O necessitates a review of the
          terminology.  In Ada 83, 'sequential' implies both the access
          method (purely sequential -- that is, no indexing or
          positional access) and homogeneity.  Direct access includes
          purely sequential access and indexed access, as well as
          homogeneity.  In Ada 95, streams allow purely sequential
          access but also positional access to an individual element,
          and are heterogeneous.  We considered generalizing the notion
          of 'sequential file' to include both Sequential_IO and
          Stream_IO files, but since streams allow positional access it
          seems misleading to call them sequential files.  Or, looked at
          differently, if the criterion for calling something a
          sequential file is whether it permits (versus requires) purely
          sequential access, then one could just as soon regard a
          Direct_IO file as a sequential file.

2.b
          It seems better to regard 'sequential file' as meaning 'only
          permitting purely sequential access'; hence we have decided to
          supplement 'sequential access' and 'direct access' with a
          third category, informally called 'access to streams'.  (We
          decided against the term 'stream access' because of possible
          confusion with the Stream_Access type declared in one of the
          stream packages.)

3
For direct access, the file is viewed as a set of elements occupying
consecutive positions in linear order; a value can be transferred to or
from an element of the file at any selected position.  The position of
an element is specified by its <index>, which is a number, greater than
zero, of the implementation-defined integer type Count.  The first
element, if any, has index one; the index of the last element, if any,
is called the <current size>; the current size is zero if there are no
elements.  The current size is a property of the external file.

4
An open direct file has a <current index>, which is the index that will
be used by the next read or write operation.  When a direct file is
opened, the current index is set to one.  The current index of a direct
file is a property of a file object, not of an external file.

          incompatibilities.  It is possible that a program based on the
          assumption that File_Mode'Last = Out_File will be illegal
          (e.g., case statement choice coverage) or execute with a
          different effect in Ada 95.

          in an instance of Sequential_IO is defined to need
          finalization.  If the restriction No_Nested_Finalization (see
          *note D.7::) applies to the partition, and File_Type does not
          have a controlled part, it will not be allowed in local
          objects in Ada 2005 whereas it would be allowed in original
          Ada 95.  Such code is not portable, as another Ada compiler
          may have a controlled part in File_Type, and thus would be
          illegal.

17.c/4
          {<AI12-0130-1AI12-0130-1>} Corrigendum: The Flush procedure is
          newly added to Ada.Sequential_IO. If an instance of
          Ada.Sequential_IO is referenced in a use_clause, and a
          procedure Flush is defined in some other package that is also
          referenced in a use_clause, the user-defined Flush may no
          longer be use-visible, resulting in errors.  This should be
          rare and is easily fixed if it does occur.

A.8.2 File Management
---------------------

                          _Static Semantics_

1
The procedures and functions described in this subclause provide for the
control of external files; their declarations are repeated in each of
the packages for sequential, direct, text, and stream input-output.  For
text input-output, the procedures Create, Open, and Reset have
additional effects described in subclause *note A.10.2::.

2
     procedure Create(File : in out File_Type;
                      Mode : in File_Mode := <default_mode>;
                      Name : in String := "";
                      Form : in String := "");

3/2
          {<AI95-00283-01AI95-00283-01>} Establishes a new external
          file, with the given name and form, and associates this
          external file with the given file.  The given file is left
          open.  The current mode of the given file is set to the given
          access mode.  The default access mode is the mode Out_File for
          sequential, stream, and text input-output; it is the mode
          Inout_File for direct input-output.  For direct access, the
          size of the created file is implementation defined.

3.a/4
          Ramification: {<AI12-0005-1AI12-0005-1>} For a direct file,
          the initial value of current index is 1 (see *note A.8::).

4
          A null string for Name specifies an external file that is not
          accessible after the completion of the main program (a
          temporary file).  A null string for Form specifies the use of
          the default options of the implementation for the external
          file.

5
          The exception Status_Error is propagated if the given file is
          already open.  The exception Name_Error is propagated if the
          string given as Name does not allow the identification of an
          external file.  The exception Use_Error is propagated if, for
          the specified mode, the external environment does not support
          creation of an external file with the given name (in the
          absence of Name_Error) and form.

6
     procedure Open(File : in out File_Type;
                    Mode : in File_Mode;
                    Name : in String;
                    Form : in String := "");

7
          Associates the given file with an existing external file
          having the given name and form, and sets the current mode of
          the given file to the given mode.  The given file is left
          open.

7.a/4
          Ramification: {<AI12-0005-1AI12-0005-1>} For a direct file,
          the initial value of current index is 1 (see *note A.8::).

8
          The exception Status_Error is propagated if the given file is
          already open.  The exception Name_Error is propagated if the
          string given as Name does not allow the identification of an
          external file; in particular, this exception is propagated if
          no external file with the given name exists.  The exception
          Use_Error is propagated if, for the specified mode, the
          external environment does not support opening for an external
          file with the given name (in the absence of Name_Error) and
          form.

9
     procedure Close(File : in out File_Type);

10
          Severs the association between the given file and its
          associated external file.  The given file is left closed.  In
          addition, for sequential files, if the file being closed has
          mode Out_File or Append_File, then the last element written
          since the most recent open or reset is the last element that
          can be read from the file.  If no elements have been written
          and the file mode is Out_File, then the closed file is empty.
          If no elements have been written and the file mode is
          Append_File, then the closed file is unchanged.

11
          The exception Status_Error is propagated if the given file is
          not open.

12
     procedure Delete(File : in out File_Type);

13
          Deletes the external file associated with the given file.  The
          given file is closed, and the external file ceases to exist.

14
          The exception Status_Error is propagated if the given file is
          not open.  The exception Use_Error is propagated if deletion
          of the external file is not supported by the external
          environment.

15
     procedure Reset(File : in out File_Type; Mode : in File_Mode);
     procedure Reset(File : in out File_Type);

16/2
          {<AI95-00085-01AI95-00085-01>} Resets the given file so that
          reading from its elements can be restarted from the beginning
          of the external file (for modes In_File and Inout_File), and
          so that writing to its elements can be restarted at the
          beginning of the external file (for modes Out_File and
          Inout_File) or after the last element of the external file
          (for mode Append_File).  In particular, for direct access this
          means that the current index is set to one.  If a Mode
          parameter is supplied, the current mode of the given file is
          set to the given mode.  In addition, for sequential files, if
          the given file has mode Out_File or Append_File when Reset is
          called, the last element written since the most recent open or
          reset is the last element that can be read from the external
          file.  If no elements have been written and the file mode is
          Out_File, the reset file is empty.  If no elements have been
          written and the file mode is Append_File, then the reset file
          is unchanged.

17
          The exception Status_Error is propagated if the file is not
          open.  The exception Use_Error is propagated if the external
          environment does not support resetting for the external file
          and, also, if the external environment does not support
          resetting to the specified mode for the external file.

18
     function Mode(File : in File_Type) return File_Mode;

19
          Returns the current mode of the given file.

20
          The exception Status_Error is propagated if the file is not
          open.

21
     function Name(File : in File_Type) return String;

22/2
          {<AI95-00248-01AI95-00248-01>} Returns a string which uniquely
          identifies the external file currently associated with the
          given file (and may thus be used in an Open operation).

22.a/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00248-01AI95-00248-01>} Retrieving the full
          path can be accomplished by passing the result of Name to
          Directories.Full_Name (see *note A.16::).  It is important to
          drop the requirement on Name, as the only way to accomplish
          this requirement given that the current directory can be
          changed with package Directories is to store the full path
          when the file is opened.  That's expensive, and it's better
          for users that need the full path to explicitly request it.

23
          The exception Status_Error is propagated if the given file is
          not open.  The exception Use_Error is propagated if the
          associated external file is a temporary file that cannot be
          opened by any name.

24
     function Form(File : in File_Type) return String;

25
          Returns the form string for the external file currently
          associated with the given file.  If an external environment
          allows alternative specifications of the form (for example,
          abbreviations using default options), the string returned by
          the function should correspond to a full specification (that
          is, it should indicate explicitly all options selected,
          including default options).

26
          The exception Status_Error is propagated if the given file is
          not open.

27
     function Is_Open(File : in File_Type) return Boolean;

28/3
          {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} Returns True if the file is open
          (that is, if it is associated with an external file);
          otherwise, returns False.

28.1/4
     {<AI12-0130-1AI12-0130-1>} procedure Flush(File : in File_Type);

28.2/4
          The Flush procedure synchronizes the external file with the
          internal file (by flushing any internal buffers) without
          closing the file.  For a direct file, the current index is
          unchanged; for a stream file (see *note A.12.1::), the current
          position is unchanged.

28.3/4
          The exception Status_Error is propagated if the file is not
          open.  The exception Mode_Error is propagated if the mode of
          the file is In_File.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

29
An implementation may propagate Name_Error or Use_Error if an attempt is
made to use an I/O feature that cannot be supported by the
implementation due to limitations in the external environment.  Any such
restriction should be documented.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

29.a/2
          {<AI95-00085-01AI95-00085-01>} Clarified that Reset affects
          and depends on the external file.

29.b/2
          {<AI95-00248-01AI95-00248-01>} Removed the requirement for
          Name to return a full path; this is now accomplished by
          Directories.Full_Name(Name(File)) (see *note A.16::).  This is
          not documented as an inconsistency, because there is no
          requirement for implementations to change -- the Ada 95
          behavior is still allowed, it just is no longer required.

29.c/2
          {<AI95-00283-01AI95-00283-01>} Added text to specify the
          default mode for a stream file.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2012_

29.d/4
          {<AI12-0130-1AI12-0130-1>} Procedure Flush is now defined
          here, so it can be used for all of the I/O packages.

A.8.3 Sequential Input-Output Operations
----------------------------------------

                          _Static Semantics_

1
The operations available for sequential input and output are described
in this subclause.  The exception Status_Error is propagated if any of
these operations is attempted for a file that is not open.

2
     procedure Read(File : in File_Type; Item : out Element_Type);

3
          Operates on a file of mode In_File.  Reads an element from the
          given file, and returns the value of this element in the Item
          parameter.

3.a
          Discussion: We considered basing Sequential_IO.Read on
          Element_Type'Read from an implicit stream associated with the
          sequential file.  However, Element_Type'Read is a type-related
          attribute, whereas Sequential_IO should take advantage of the
          particular constraints of the actual subtype corresponding to
          Element_Type to minimize the size of the external file.
          Furthermore, forcing the implementation of Sequential_IO to be
          based on Element_Type'Read would create an upward
          incompatibility since existing data files written by an Ada 83
          program using Sequential_IO might not be readable by the
          identical program built with an Ada 95 implementation of
          Sequential_IO.

3.b
          An Ada 95 implementation might still use an
          implementation-defined attribute analogous to 'Read to
          implement the procedure Read, but that attribute will likely
          have to be subtype-specific rather than type-related, and it
          need not be user-specifiable.  Such an attribute will
          presumably be needed to implement the generic package
          Storage_IO (see *note A.9::).

4
          The exception Mode_Error is propagated if the mode is not
          In_File.  The exception End_Error is propagated if no more
          elements can be read from the given file.  The exception
          Data_Error can be propagated if the element read cannot be
          interpreted as a value of the subtype Element_Type (see *note
          A.13::, "*note A.13:: Exceptions in Input-Output").

4.a
          Discussion: Data_Error need not be propagated if the check is
          too complex.  See *note A.13::, "*note A.13:: Exceptions in
          Input-Output".

5
     procedure Write(File : in File_Type; Item : in Element_Type);

6
          Operates on a file of mode Out_File or Append_File.  Writes
          the value of Item to the given file.

7
          The exception Mode_Error is propagated if the mode is not
          Out_File or Append_File.  The exception Use_Error is
          propagated if the capacity of the external file is exceeded.

8
     function End_Of_File(File : in File_Type) return Boolean;

9/3
          {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} Operates on a file of mode In_File.
          Returns True if no more elements can be read from the given
          file; otherwise, returns False.

10
          The exception Mode_Error is propagated if the mode is not
          In_File.

A.8.4 The Generic Package Direct_IO
-----------------------------------

                          _Static Semantics_

The generic library package Direct_IO has the following declaration:

19.a
          Reason: The Element_Type formal of Direct_IO does not have an
          unknown_discriminant_part (unlike Sequential_IO) so that the
          implementation can make use of the ability to declare
          uninitialized variables of the type.

20/2
{<AI95-00360-01AI95-00360-01>} The type File_Type needs finalization
(see *note 7.6::) in every instantiation of Direct_IO.

20.a/2
          {<AI95-00360-01AI95-00360-01>} Amendment Correction: File_Type
          in an instance of Direct_IO is defined to need finalization.
          If the restriction No_Nested_Finalization (see *note D.7::)
          applies to the partition, and File_Type does not have a
          controlled part, it will not be allowed in local objects in
          Ada 2005 whereas it would be allowed in original Ada 95.  Such
          code is not portable, as another Ada compiler may have a
          controlled part in File_Type, and thus would be illegal.

                   _Incompatibilities With Ada 2012_

20.b/4
          {<AI12-0130-1AI12-0130-1>} Corrigendum: The Flush procedure is
          newly added to Ada.Direct_IO. If an instance of Ada.Direct_IO
          is referenced in a use_clause, and a procedure Flush is
          defined in some other package that is also referenced in a
          use_clause, the user-defined Flush may no longer be
          use-visible, resulting in errors.  This should be rare and is
          easily fixed if it does occur.

A.9 The Generic Package Storage_IO
==================================

1
The generic package Storage_IO provides for reading from and writing to
an in-memory buffer.  This generic package supports the construction of
user-defined input-output packages.

1.a
          Reason: This package exists to allow the portable construction
          of user-defined direct-access-oriented input-output packages.
          The Write procedure writes a value of type Element_Type into a
          Storage_Array of size Buffer_Size, flattening out any implicit
          levels of indirection used in the representation of the type.
          The Read procedure reads a value of type Element_Type from the
          buffer, reconstructing any implicit levels of indirection used
          in the representation of the type.  It also properly
          initializes any type tags that appear within the value,
          presuming that the buffer was written by a different program
          and that tag values for the"same" type might vary from one
          executable to another.

                          _Static Semantics_

2
The generic library package Storage_IO has the following declaration:

3
     with Ada.IO_Exceptions;
     with System.Storage_Elements;
     generic
        type Element_Type is private;
     package Ada.Storage_IO is
        pragma Preelaborate(Storage_IO);

4
        Buffer_Size : constant System.Storage_Elements.Storage_Count :=
           <implementation-defined>;
        subtype Buffer_Type is
           System.Storage_Elements.Storage_Array(1..Buffer_Size);

5
        --< Input and output operations>

6
        procedure Read (Buffer : in  Buffer_Type; Item : out Element_Type);

7
        procedure Write(Buffer : out Buffer_Type; Item : in  Element_Type);

8
        --< Exceptions>

9
        Data_Error   : exception renames IO_Exceptions.Data_Error;
     end Ada.Storage_IO;

10
In each instance, the constant Buffer_Size has a value that is the size
(in storage elements) of the buffer required to represent the content of
an object of subtype Element_Type, including any implicit levels of
indirection used by the implementation.  The Read and Write procedures
of Storage_IO correspond to the Read and Write procedures of Direct_IO
(see *note A.8.4::), but with the content of the Item parameter being
read from or written into the specified Buffer, rather than an external
file.

10.a
          Reason: As with Direct_IO, the Element_Type formal of
          Storage_IO does not have an unknown_discriminant_part so that
          there is a well-defined upper bound on the size of the buffer
          needed to hold the content of an object of the formal subtype
          (i.e.  Buffer_Size).  If there are no implicit levels of
          indirection, Buffer_Size will typically equal:

10.b
               (Element_Type'Size + System.Storage_Unit - 1) / System.Storage_Unit

10.c
          Implementation defined: The value of Buffer_Size in
          Storage_IO.

     NOTES

11
     26  A buffer used for Storage_IO holds only one element at a time;
     an external file used for Direct_IO holds a sequence of elements.

A.10 Text Input-Output
======================

                          _Static Semantics_

1/3
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} This subclause describes the package Text_IO,
which provides facilities for input and output in human-readable form.
Each file is read or written sequentially, as a sequence of characters
grouped into lines, and as a sequence of lines grouped into pages.  The
specification of the package is given below in subclause *note A.10.1::.

2/3
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} The facilities for file management given
above, in subclauses *note A.8.2:: and *note A.8.3::, are available for
text input-output.  In place of Read and Write, however, there are
procedures Get and Put that input values of suitable types from text
files, and output values to them.  These values are provided to the Put
procedures, and returned by the Get procedures, in a parameter Item.
Several overloaded procedures of these names exist, for different types
of Item.  These Get procedures analyze the input sequences of characters
based on lexical elements (see Clause *note 2::) and return the
corresponding values; the Put procedures output the given values as
appropriate lexical elements.  Procedures Get and Put are also available
that input and output individual characters treated as character values
rather than as lexical elements.  Related to character input are
procedures to look ahead at the next character without reading it, and
to read a character "immediately" without waiting for an end-of-line to
signal availability.

3
In addition to the procedures Get and Put for numeric and enumeration
types of Item that operate on text files, analogous procedures are
provided that read from and write to a parameter of type String.  These
procedures perform the same analysis and composition of character
sequences as their counterparts which have a file parameter.

4
For all Get and Put procedures that operate on text files, and for many
other subprograms, there are forms with and without a file parameter.
Each such Get procedure operates on an input file, and each such Put
procedure operates on an output file.  If no file is specified, a
default input file or a default output file is used.

5
At the beginning of program execution the default input and output files
are the so-called standard input file and standard output file.  These
files are open, have respectively the current modes In_File and
Out_File, and are associated with two implementation-defined external
files.  Procedures are provided to change the current default input file
and the current default output file.

5.a/2
          Implementation defined: The external files associated with the
          standard input, standard output, and standard error files.

5.a.1/1
          Implementation Note: {<8652/01138652/0113>}
          {<AI95-00087-01AI95-00087-01>} The default input file and
          default output file are not the names of distinct file
          objects, but rather the <role> played by one or more (other)
          file object(s).  Thus, they generally will be implemented as
          accesses to another file object.  An implementation that
          implements them by copying them is incorrect.

6
At the beginning of program execution a default file for
program-dependent error-related text output is the so-called standard
error file.  This file is open, has the current mode Out_File, and is
associated with an implementation-defined external file.  A procedure is
provided to change the current default error file.

7
From a logical point of view, a text file is a sequence of pages, a page
is a sequence of lines, and a line is a sequence of characters; the end
of a line is marked by a <line terminator>; the end of a page is marked
by the combination of a line terminator immediately followed by a <page
terminator>; and the end of a file is marked by the combination of a
line terminator immediately followed by a page terminator and then a
<file terminator>.  Terminators are generated during output; either by
calls of procedures provided expressly for that purpose; or implicitly
as part of other operations, for example, when a bounded line length, a
bounded page length, or both, have been specified for a file.

8
The actual nature of terminators is not defined by the language and
hence depends on the implementation.  Although terminators are
recognized or generated by certain of the procedures that follow, they
are not necessarily implemented as characters or as sequences of
characters.  Whether they are characters (and if so which ones) in any
particular implementation need not concern a user who neither explicitly
outputs nor explicitly inputs control characters.  The effect of input
(Get) or output (Put) of control characters (other than horizontal
tabulation) is not specified by the language.  

9
The characters of a line are numbered, starting from one; the number of
a character is called its <column number>.  For a line terminator, a
column number is also defined: it is one more than the number of
characters in the line.  The lines of a page, and the pages of a file,
are similarly numbered.  The current column number is the column number
of the next character or line terminator to be transferred.  The current
line number is the number of the current line.  The current page number
is the number of the current page.  These numbers are values of the
subtype Positive_Count of the type Count (by convention, the value zero
of the type Count is used to indicate special conditions).

10
     type Count is range 0 .. <implementation-defined>;
     subtype Positive_Count is Count range 1 .. Count'Last;

11
For an output file or an append file, a <maximum line length> can be
specified and a <maximum page length> can be specified.  If a value to
be output cannot fit on the current line, for a specified maximum line
length, then a new line is automatically started before the value is
output; if, further, this new line cannot fit on the current page, for a
specified maximum page length, then a new page is automatically started
before the value is output.  Functions are provided to determine the
maximum line length and the maximum page length.  When a file is opened
with mode Out_File or Append_File, both values are zero: by convention,
this means that the line lengths and page lengths are unbounded.
(Consequently, output consists of a single line if the subprograms for
explicit control of line and page structure are not used.)  The constant
Unbounded is provided for this purpose.

A.10.2 Text File Management
---------------------------

                          _Static Semantics_

1
The only allowed file modes for text files are the modes In_File,
Out_File, and Append_File.  The subprograms given in subclause *note
A.8.2:: for the control of external files, and the function End_Of_File
given in subclause *note A.8.3:: for sequential input-output, are also
available for text files.  There is also a version of End_Of_File that
refers to the current default input file.  For text files, the
procedures have the following additional effects:

2
   * For the procedures Create and Open: After a file with mode Out_File
     or Append_File is opened, the page length and line length are
     unbounded (both have the conventional value zero).  After a file
     (of any mode) is opened, the current column, current line, and
     current page numbers are set to one.  If the mode is Append_File,
     it is implementation defined whether a page terminator will
     separate preexisting text in the file from the new text to be
     written.

2.a
          Reason: For a file with mode Append_File, although it may seem
          more sensible for Open to set the current column, line, and
          page number based on the number of pages in the file, the
          number of lines on the last page, and the number of columns in
          the last line, we rejected this approach because of
          implementation costs; it would require the implementation to
          scan the file before doing the append, or to do processing
          that would be equivalent in effect.

2.b
          For similar reasons, there is no requirement to erase the last
          page terminator of the file, nor to insert an explicit page
          terminator in the case when the final page terminator of a
          file is represented implicitly by the implementation.

3
   * For the procedure Close: If the file has the current mode Out_File
     or Append_File, has the effect of calling New_Page, unless the
     current page is already terminated; then outputs a file terminator.

4
   * For the procedure Reset: If the file has the current mode Out_File
     or Append_File, has the effect of calling New_Page, unless the
     current page is already terminated; then outputs a file terminator.
     The current column, line, and page numbers are set to one, and the
     line and page lengths to Unbounded.  If the new mode is
     Append_File, it is implementation defined whether a page terminator
     will separate preexisting text in the file from the new text to be
     written.

4.a
          Reason: The behavior of Reset should be similar to closing a
          file and reopening it with the given mode

5
The exception Mode_Error is propagated by the procedure Reset upon an
attempt to change the mode of a file that is the current default input
file, the current default output file, or the current default error
file.

     NOTES

6
     27  An implementation can define the Form parameter of Create and
     Open to control effects including the following:

7
        * the interpretation of line and column numbers for an
          interactive file, and

8
        * the interpretation of text formats in a file created by a
          foreign program.

A.10.3 Default Input, Output, and Error Files
---------------------------------------------

                          _Static Semantics_

1
The following subprograms provide for the control of the particular
default files that are used when a file parameter is omitted from a Get,
Put, or other operation of text input-output described below, or when
application-dependent error-related text is to be output.

2
     procedure Set_Input(File : in File_Type);

3
          Operates on a file of mode In_File.  Sets the current default
          input file to File.

4
          The exception Status_Error is propagated if the given file is
          not open.  The exception Mode_Error is propagated if the mode
          of the given file is not In_File.

5
     procedure Set_Output(File : in File_Type);
     procedure Set_Error (File : in File_Type);

6
          Each operates on a file of mode Out_File or Append_File.
          Set_Output sets the current default output file to File.
          Set_Error sets the current default error file to File.  The
          exception Status_Error is propagated if the given file is not
          open.  The exception Mode_Error is propagated if the mode of
          the given file is not Out_File or Append_File.

7
     function Standard_Input return File_Type;

Standard_Input, Standard_Output, and Standard_Error at the start of

21.a/4
          Discussion: {<AI12-0052-1AI12-0052-1>} For the purpose of
          determining whether concurrent calls on text input-output
          subprograms are required to perform as specified, subprograms
          that implicitly operate on one of the default input-output
          files are considered to have a parameter of Current_Input or
          Current_Output (as appropriate).  The result of Current_Output
          is considered to be overlapping with the file given to the
          latest call of Set_Output (or Standard_Output if Set_Output
          hasn't been called); a corresponding consideration applies to
          the result of Current_Input.  See the introduction of *note
          Annex A:: for details.

A.10.4 Specification of Line and Page Lengths
---------------------------------------------

                          _Static Semantics_

1
The subprograms described in this subclause are concerned with the line
and page structure of a file of mode Out_File or Append_File.  They
operate either on the file given as the first parameter, or, in the
absence of such a file parameter, on the current default output file.
They provide for output of text with a specified maximum line length or
page length.  In these cases, line and page terminators are output
implicitly and automatically when needed.  When line and page lengths
are unbounded (that is, when they have the conventional value zero), as
in the case of a newly opened file, new lines and new pages are only
started when explicitly called for.

2
In all cases, the exception Status_Error is propagated if the file to be
used is not open; the exception Mode_Error is propagated if the mode of
the file is not Out_File or Append_File.

3
     procedure Set_Line_Length(File : in File_Type; To : in Count);
     procedure Set_Line_Length(To   : in Count);

4
          Sets the maximum line length of the specified output or append
          file to the number of characters specified by To.  The value
          zero for To specifies an unbounded line length.

4.a
          Ramification: The setting does not affect the lengths of lines
          in the existing file, rather it only influences subsequent
          output operations.

5
          The exception Use_Error is propagated if the specified line
          length is inappropriate for the associated external file.

6
     procedure Set_Page_Length(File : in File_Type; To : in Count);
     procedure Set_Page_Length(To   : in Count);

7
          Sets the maximum page length of the specified output or append
          file to the number of lines specified by To.  The value zero
          for To specifies an unbounded page length.

8
          The exception Use_Error is propagated if the specified page
          length is inappropriate for the associated external file.

9
     function Line_Length(File : in File_Type) return Count;
     function Line_Length return Count;

10
          Returns the maximum line length currently set for the
          specified output or append file, or zero if the line length is
          unbounded.

11
     function Page_Length(File : in File_Type) return Count;
     function Page_Length return Count;

12
          Returns the maximum page length currently set for the
          specified output or append file, or zero if the page length is
          unbounded.

A.10.5 Operations on Columns, Lines, and Pages
----------------------------------------------

                          _Static Semantics_

1
The subprograms described in this subclause provide for explicit control
of line and page structure; they operate either on the file given as the
first parameter, or, in the absence of such a file parameter, on the
appropriate (input or output) current default file.  The exception
Status_Error is propagated by any of these subprograms if the file to be
used is not open.

2
     procedure New_Line(File : in File_Type; Spacing : in Positive_Count := 1);
     procedure New_Line(Spacing : in Positive_Count := 1);

3
          Operates on a file of mode Out_File or Append_File.

4
          For a Spacing of one: Outputs a line terminator and sets the
          current column number to one.  Then increments the current
          line number by one, except in the case that the current line
          number is already greater than or equal to the maximum page
          length, for a bounded page length; in that case a page
          terminator is output, the current page number is incremented
          by one, and the current line number is set to one.

5
          For a Spacing greater than one, the above actions are
          performed Spacing times.

6
          The exception Mode_Error is propagated if the mode is not
          Out_File or Append_File.

7
     procedure Skip_Line(File  : in File_Type; Spacing : in Positive_Count := 1);
     procedure Skip_Line(Spacing : in Positive_Count := 1);

8
          Operates on a file of mode In_File.

9
          For a Spacing of one: Reads and discards all characters until
          a line terminator has been read, and then sets the current
          column number to one.  If the line terminator is not
          immediately followed by a page terminator, the current line
          number is incremented by one.  Otherwise, if the line
          terminator is immediately followed by a page terminator, then
          the page terminator is skipped, the current page number is
          incremented by one, and the current line number is set to one.

10
          For a Spacing greater than one, the above actions are
          performed Spacing times.

11
          The exception Mode_Error is propagated if the mode is not
          In_File.  The exception End_Error is propagated if an attempt
          is made to read a file terminator.

12
     function End_Of_Line(File : in File_Type) return Boolean;
     function End_Of_Line return Boolean;

13/3
          {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} Operates on a file of mode In_File.
          Returns True if a line terminator or a file terminator is
          next; otherwise, returns False.

14
          The exception Mode_Error is propagated if the mode is not
          In_File.

15
     procedure New_Page(File : in File_Type);
     procedure New_Page;

16
          Operates on a file of mode Out_File or Append_File.  Outputs a
          line terminator if the current line is not terminated, or if
          the current page is empty (that is, if the current column and
          line numbers are both equal to one).  Then outputs a page
          terminator, which terminates the current page.  Adds one to
          the current page number and sets the current column and line
          numbers to one.

17
          The exception Mode_Error is propagated if the mode is not
          Out_File or Append_File.

18
     procedure Skip_Page(File : in File_Type);
     procedure Skip_Page;

19
          Operates on a file of mode In_File.  Reads and discards all
          characters and line terminators until a page terminator has
          been read.  Then adds one to the current page number, and sets
          the current column and line numbers to one.

20
          The exception Mode_Error is propagated if the mode is not
          In_File.  The exception End_Error is propagated if an attempt
          is made to read a file terminator.

21
     function End_Of_Page(File : in File_Type) return Boolean;
     function End_Of_Page return Boolean;

22/3
          {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} Operates on a file of mode In_File.
          Returns True if the combination of a line terminator and a
          page terminator is next, or if a file terminator is next;
          otherwise, returns False.

23
          The exception Mode_Error is propagated if the mode is not
          In_File.

24
     function End_Of_File(File : in File_Type) return Boolean;
     function End_Of_File return Boolean;

25/3
          {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} Operates on a file of mode In_File.
          Returns True if a file terminator is next, or if the
          combination of a line, a page, and a file terminator is next;
          otherwise, returns False.

26
          The exception Mode_Error is propagated if the mode is not
          In_File.

27
The following subprograms provide for the control of the current
position of reading or writing in a file.  In all cases, the default
file is the current output file.

28
     procedure Set_Col(File : in File_Type; To : in Positive_Count);
     procedure Set_Col(To   : in Positive_Count);

29
          If the file mode is Out_File or Append_File:

30
             * If the value specified by To is greater than the current
               column number, outputs spaces, adding one to the current
               column number after each space, until the current column
               number equals the specified value.  If the value
               specified by To is equal to the current column number,
               there is no effect.  If the value specified by To is less
               than the current column number, has the effect of calling
               New_Line (with a spacing of one), then outputs (To - 1)
               spaces, and sets the current column number to the
               specified value.

31
             * The exception Layout_Error is propagated if the value
               specified by To exceeds Line_Length when the line length
               is bounded (that is, when it does not have the
               conventional value zero).

32
          If the file mode is In_File:

33
             * Reads (and discards) individual characters, line
               terminators, and page terminators, until the next
               character to be read has a column number that equals the
               value specified by To; there is no effect if the current
               column number already equals this value.  Each transfer
               of a character or terminator maintains the current
               column, line, and page numbers in the same way as a Get
               procedure (see *note A.10.6::).  (Short lines will be
               skipped until a line is reached that has a character at
               the specified column position.)

34
             * The exception End_Error is propagated if an attempt is
               made to read a file terminator.

35
     procedure Set_Line(File : in File_Type; To : in Positive_Count);
     procedure Set_Line(To   : in Positive_Count);

36
          If the file mode is Out_File or Append_File:

37/3
             * {<AI05-0038-1AI05-0038-1>} If the value specified by To
               is greater than the current line number, has the effect
               of repeatedly calling New_Line (with a spacing of one),
               until the current line number equals the specified value.
               If the value specified by To is equal to the current line
               number, there is no effect.  If the value specified by To
               is less than the current line number, has the effect of
               calling New_Page followed, if To is greater than 1, by a
               call of New_Line with a spacing equal to (To - 1).

38
             * The exception Layout_Error is propagated if the value
               specified by To exceeds Page_Length when the page length
               is bounded (that is, when it does not have the
               conventional value zero).

39
          If the mode is In_File:

40
             * Has the effect of repeatedly calling Skip_Line (with a
               spacing of one), until the current line number equals the
               value specified by To; there is no effect if the current
               line number already equals this value.  (Short pages will
               be skipped until a page is reached that has a line at the
               specified line position.)

41
             * The exception End_Error is propagated if an attempt is
               made to read a file terminator.

42
     function Col(File : in File_Type) return Positive_Count;
     function Col return Positive_Count;

43
          Returns the current column number.

44
          The exception Layout_Error is propagated if this number
          exceeds Count'Last.

45
     function Line(File : in File_Type) return Positive_Count;
     function Line return Positive_Count;

46
          Returns the current line number.

47
          The exception Layout_Error is propagated if this number
          exceeds Count'Last.

48
     function Page(File : in File_Type) return Positive_Count;
     function Page return Positive_Count;

49
          Returns the current page number.

50
          The exception Layout_Error is propagated if this number
          exceeds Count'Last.

51
The column number, line number, or page number are allowed to exceed
Count'Last (as a consequence of the input or output of sufficiently many
characters, lines, or pages).  These events do not cause any exception
to be propagated.  However, a call of Col, Line, or Page propagates the
exception Layout_Error if the corresponding number exceeds Count'Last.

     NOTES

52
     30  A page terminator is always skipped whenever the preceding line
     terminator is skipped.  An implementation may represent the
     combination of these terminators by a single character, provided
     that it is properly recognized on input.

A.10.6 Get and Put Procedures
-----------------------------

                          _Static Semantics_

1
The procedures Get and Put for items of the type Character, String,
numeric types, and enumeration types are described in subsequent
subclauses.  Features of these procedures that are common to most of
these types are described in this subclause.  The Get and Put procedures
for items of type Character and String deal with individual character
values; the Get and Put procedures for numeric and enumeration types
treat the items as lexical elements.

2
All procedures Get and Put have forms with a file parameter, written
first.  Where this parameter is omitted, the appropriate (input or
output) current default file is understood to be specified.  Each
procedure Get operates on a file of mode In_File.  Each procedure Put
operates on a file of mode Out_File or Append_File.

3
All procedures Get and Put maintain the current column, line, and page
numbers of the specified file: the effect of each of these procedures
upon these numbers is the result of the effects of individual transfers
of characters and of individual output or skipping of terminators.  Each
transfer of a character adds one to the current column number.  Each
output of a line terminator sets the current column number to one and
adds one to the current line number.  Each output of a page terminator
sets the current column and line numbers to one and adds one to the
current page number.  For input, each skipping of a line terminator sets
the current column number to one and adds one to the current line
number; each skipping of a page terminator sets the current column and
line numbers to one and adds one to the current page number.  Similar
considerations apply to the procedures Get_Line, Put_Line, and Set_Col.

4
Several Get and Put procedures, for numeric and enumeration types, have
<format> parameters which specify field lengths; these parameters are of
the nonnegative subtype Field of the type Integer.

5/2
{<AI95-00223-01AI95-00223-01>} Input-output of enumeration values uses
the syntax of the corresponding lexical elements.  Any Get procedure for
an enumeration type begins by skipping any leading blanks, or line or
page terminators.  A <blank> is defined as a space or a horizontal
tabulation character.  Next, characters are input only so long as the
sequence input is an initial sequence of an identifier or of a character
literal (in particular, input ceases when a line terminator is
encountered).  The character or line terminator that causes input to
cease remains available for subsequent input.

6
For a numeric type, the Get procedures have a format parameter called
Width.  If the value given for this parameter is zero, the Get procedure
proceeds in the same manner as for enumeration types, but using the
syntax of numeric literals instead of that of enumeration literals.  If
a nonzero value is given, then exactly Width characters are input, or
the characters up to a line terminator, whichever comes first; any
skipped leading blanks are included in the count.  The syntax used for
numeric literals is an extended syntax that allows a leading sign (but
no intervening blanks, or line or page terminators) and that also allows
(for real types) an integer literal as well as forms that have digits
only before the point or only after the point.

7
Any Put procedure, for an item of a numeric or an enumeration type,
outputs the value of the item as a numeric literal, identifier, or
character literal, as appropriate.  This is preceded by leading spaces
if required by the format parameters Width or Fore (as described in
later subclauses), and then a minus sign for a negative value; for an
enumeration type, the spaces follow instead of leading.  The format
given for a Put procedure is overridden if it is insufficiently wide, by
using the minimum needed width.

8
Two further cases arise for Put procedures for numeric and enumeration
types, if the line length of the specified output file is bounded (that
is, if it does not have the conventional value zero).  If the number of
characters to be output does not exceed the maximum line length, but is
such that they cannot fit on the current line, starting from the current
column, then (in effect) New_Line is called (with a spacing of one)
before output of the item.  Otherwise, if the number of characters
exceeds the maximum line length, then the exception Layout_Error is
propagated and nothing is output.

9
The exception Status_Error is propagated by any of the procedures Get,
Get_Line, Put, and Put_Line if the file to be used is not open.  The
exception Mode_Error is propagated by the procedures Get and Get_Line if
the mode of the file to be used is not In_File; and by the procedures
Put and Put_Line, if the mode is not Out_File or Append_File.

10
The exception End_Error is propagated by a Get procedure if an attempt
is made to skip a file terminator.  The exception Data_Error is
propagated by a Get procedure if the sequence finally input is not a
lexical element corresponding to the type, in particular if no
characters were input; for this test, leading blanks are ignored; for an
item of a numeric type, when a sign is input, this rule applies to the
succeeding numeric literal.  The exception Layout_Error is propagated by
a Put procedure that outputs to a parameter of type String, if the
length of the actual string is insufficient for the output of the item.

                              _Examples_

11
In the examples, here and in subclauses *note A.10.8:: and *note
A.10.9::, the string quotes and the lower case letter b are not
transferred: they are shown only to reveal the layout and spaces.

12
     N : Integer;
        ...
     Get(N);

13

A.10.7 Input-Output of Characters and Strings
---------------------------------------------

                          _Static Semantics_

1
For an item of type Character the following procedures are provided:

2
     procedure Get(File : in File_Type; Item : out Character);
     procedure Get(Item : out Character);

3
          After skipping any line terminators and any page terminators,
          reads the next character from the specified input file and
          returns the value of this character in the out parameter Item.

4
          The exception End_Error is propagated if an attempt is made to
          skip a file terminator.

5
     procedure Put(File : in File_Type; Item : in Character);
     procedure Put(Item : in Character);

6
          If the line length of the specified output file is bounded
          (that is, does not have the conventional value zero), and the
          current column number exceeds it, has the effect of calling
          New_Line with a spacing of one.  Then, or otherwise, outputs
          the given character to the file.

7
     procedure Look_Ahead (File        : in  File_Type;
                           Item        : out Character;
                           End_Of_Line : out Boolean);
     procedure Look_Ahead (Item        : out Character;

16
     procedure Put(File : in File_Type; Item : in String);
     procedure Put(Item : in String);

17
          Determines the length of the given string and attempts that

          lower bound of 1 and an upper bound of the number of
          characters read.  Reading stops when the end of the line is

17.3/2
          {<AI95-00301-01AI95-00301-01>} Constraint_Error is raised if

          The exception End_Error is propagated if an attempt is made to

17.a/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00301-01AI95-00301-01>} Precisely what is
          left in the file is unspecified if Constraint_Error is raised
          because the line doesn't fit in a String; it should be
          consistent with column number.  This allows implementers to
          use whatever buffering scheme makes sense.  But the line
          terminator is not skipped in this case.

18
     procedure Get_Line(File : in File_Type;

19
          Reads successive characters from the specified input file and
          assigns them to successive characters of the specified string.
          Reading stops if the end of the string is met.  Reading also
          stops if the end of the line is met before meeting the end of
          the string; in this case Skip_Line is (in effect) called with
          a spacing of 1.  The values of characters not assigned are not
          specified.

20
          If characters are read, returns in Last the index value such
          that Item(Last) is the last character assigned (the index of
          the first character assigned is Item'First).  If no characters
          are read, returns in Last an index value that is one less than
          Item'First.  The exception End_Error is propagated if an
          attempt is made to skip a file terminator.

21
     procedure Put_Line(File : in File_Type; Item : in String);
     procedure Put_Line(Item : in String);

22
          Calls the procedure Put for the given string, and then the
          procedure New_Line with a spacing of one.

                        _Implementation Advice_

23
The Get_Immediate procedures should be implemented with unbuffered
input.  For a device such as a keyboard, input should be "available" if
a key has already been typed, whereas for a disk file, input should
always be available except at end of file.  For a file associated with a
keyboard-like device, any line-editing features of the underlying
operating system should be disabled during the execution of
Get_Immediate.

23.a/2
          Implementation Advice: Get_Immediate should be implemented
          with unbuffered input; input should be available immediately;
          line-editing should be disabled.

     NOTES

24
     31  Get_Immediate can be used to read a single key from the
     keyboard "immediately"; that is, without waiting for an end of
     line.  In a call of Get_Immediate without the parameter Available,
     the caller will wait until a character is available.

25
     32  In a literal string parameter of Put, the enclosing string
     bracket characters are not output.  Each doubled string bracket
     character in the enclosed string is output as a single string
     bracket character, as a consequence of the rule for string literals
     (see *note 2.6::).

26
     33  A string read by Get or written by Put can extend over several
     lines.  An implementation is allowed to assume that certain
     external files do not contain page terminators, in which case
     Get_Line and Skip_Line can return as soon as a line terminator is
     read.

A.10.8 Input-Output for Integer Types
-------------------------------------

                          _Static Semantics_

1
The following procedures are defined in the generic packages Integer_IO
and Modular_IO, which have to be instantiated for the appropriate signed
integer or modular type respectively (indicated by Num in the
specifications).

2
Values are output as decimal or based literals, without low line
characters or exponent, and, for Integer_IO, preceded by a minus sign if
negative.  The format (which includes any leading spaces and minus sign)
can be specified by an optional field width parameter.  Values of widths
of fields in output formats are of the nonnegative integer subtype
Field.  Values of bases are of the integer subtype Number_Base.

3
     subtype Number_Base is Integer range 2 .. 16;

4
The default field width and base to be used by output procedures are
defined by the following variables that are declared in the generic
packages Integer_IO and Modular_IO:

5
     Default_Width : Field := Num'Width;
     Default_Base  : Number_Base := 10;

6
The following procedures are provided:

7
     procedure Get(File : in File_Type; Item : out Num; Width : in Field := 0);
     procedure Get(Item : out Num; Width : in Field := 0);

8
          If the value of the parameter Width is zero, skips any leading
          blanks, line terminators, or page terminators, then reads a
          plus sign if present or (for a signed type only) a minus sign
          if present, then reads the longest possible sequence of
          characters matching the syntax of a numeric literal without a
          point.  If a nonzero value of Width is supplied, then exactly
          Width characters are input, or the characters (possibly none)
          up to a line terminator, whichever comes first; any skipped
          leading blanks are included in the count.

9
          Returns, in the parameter Item, the value of type Num that
          corresponds to the sequence input.

10/3
          {<AI05-0038-1AI05-0038-1>} The exception Data_Error is
          propagated if the sequence of characters read does not form a
          legal integer literal or if the value obtained is not of the
          subtype Num.

11
     procedure Put(File  : in File_Type;
                   Item  : in Num;
                   Width : in Field := Default_Width;
                   Base  : in Number_Base := Default_Base);

     procedure Put(Item  : in Num;
                   Width : in Field := Default_Width;
                   Base  : in Number_Base := Default_Base);

12
          Outputs the value of the parameter Item as an integer literal,
          with no low lines, no exponent, and no leading zeros (but a
          single zero for the value zero), and a preceding minus sign
          for a negative value.

13
          If the resulting sequence of characters to be output has fewer
          than Width characters, then leading spaces are first output to
          make up the difference.

14
          Uses the syntax for decimal literal if the parameter Base has
          the value ten (either explicitly or through Default_Base);
          otherwise, uses the syntax for based literal, with any letters
          in upper case.

15
     procedure Get(From : in String; Item : out Num; Last : out Positive);

16
          Reads an integer value from the beginning of the given string,
          following the same rules as the Get procedure that reads an
          integer value from a file, but treating the end of the string
          as a file terminator.  Returns, in the parameter Item, the
          value of type Num that corresponds to the sequence input.
          Returns in Last the index value such that From(Last) is the
          last character read.

17
          The exception Data_Error is propagated if the sequence input
          does not have the required syntax or if the value obtained is
          not of the subtype Num.

18
     procedure Put(To   : out String;
                   Item : in Num;
                   Base : in Number_Base := Default_Base);

19
          Outputs the value of the parameter Item to the given string,
          following the same rule as for output to a file, using the
          length of the given string as the value for Width.

20
Integer_Text_IO is a library package that is a nongeneric equivalent to
Text_IO.Integer_IO for the predefined type Integer:

21
     with Ada.Text_IO;
     package Ada.Integer_Text_IO is new Ada.Text_IO.Integer_IO(Integer);

22
For each predefined signed integer type, a nongeneric equivalent to
Text_IO.Integer_IO is provided, with names such as
Ada.Long_Integer_Text_IO.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

23
The nongeneric equivalent packages may, but need not, be actual
instantiations of the generic package for the appropriate predefined
type.

27.a/3
          {<AI05-0038-1AI05-0038-1>} Correction: Changed wording to make
          Integer_IO and Modular_IO raise Data_Error in the same way
          when the bounds of the subtype are exceeded.  There is no
          value to different behavior, and all surveyed compilers
          already treat integer and modular values the same way.  This
          could only cause a problem if a program was compiled with some
          unsurveyed compiler, and the Ada 95-defined behavior is
          expected for Modular_IO. But note that such code is not
          portable anyway, as most widely used compilers behave
          consistently with the new wording, so it is unlikely that such
          code exists.

A.10.9 Input-Output for Real Types
----------------------------------

                          _Static Semantics_

1
The following procedures are defined in the generic packages Float_IO,
Fixed_IO, and Decimal_IO, which have to be instantiated for the
appropriate floating point, ordinary fixed point, or decimal fixed point
type respectively (indicated by Num in the specifications).

2
Values are output as decimal literals without low line characters.  The
format of each value output consists of a Fore field, a decimal point,
an Aft field, and (if a nonzero Exp parameter is supplied) the letter E
and an Exp field.  The two possible formats thus correspond to:

3
     Fore  .  Aft

4
and to:

5
     Fore  .  Aft  E  Exp

6
without any spaces between these fields.  The Fore field may include
leading spaces, and a minus sign for negative values.  The Aft field
includes only decimal digits (possibly with trailing zeros).  The Exp
field includes the sign (plus or minus) and the exponent (possibly with
leading zeros).

7
For floating point types, the default lengths of these fields are
defined by the following variables that are declared in the generic
package Float_IO:

8
     Default_Fore : Field := 2;
     Default_Aft  : Field := Num'Digits-1;
     Default_Exp  : Field := 3;

9
For ordinary or decimal fixed point types, the default lengths of these
fields are defined by the following variables that are declared in the
generic packages Fixed_IO and Decimal_IO, respectively:

10
     Default_Fore : Field := Num'Fore;
     Default_Aft  : Field := Num'Aft;
     Default_Exp  : Field := 0;

11
The following procedures are provided:

12
     procedure Get(File : in File_Type; Item : out Num; Width : in Field := 0);
     procedure Get(Item : out Num; Width : in Field := 0);

13
          If the value of the parameter Width is zero, skips any leading
          blanks, line terminators, or page terminators, then reads the
          longest possible sequence of characters matching the syntax of
          any of the following (see *note 2.4::):

14
             * [+|-]numeric_literal

15
             * [+|-]numeral.[exponent]

16
             * [+|-].numeral[exponent]

17
             * [+|-]base#based_numeral.#[exponent]

18
             * [+|-]base#.based_numeral#[exponent]

19
          If a nonzero value of Width is supplied, then exactly Width
          characters are input, or the characters (possibly none) up to
          a line terminator, whichever comes first; any skipped leading
          blanks are included in the count.

20
          Returns in the parameter Item the value of type Num that
          corresponds to the sequence input, preserving the sign
          (positive if none has been specified) of a zero value if Num
          is a floating point type and Num'Signed_Zeros is True.

21
          The exception Data_Error is propagated if the sequence input
          does not have the required syntax or if the value obtained is
          not of the subtype Num.

22
     procedure Put(File : in File_Type;
                   Item : in Num;
                   Fore : in Field := Default_Fore;
                   Aft  : in Field := Default_Aft;
                   Exp  : in Field := Default_Exp);

     procedure Put(Item : in Num;
                   Fore : in Field := Default_Fore;
                   Aft  : in Field := Default_Aft;
                   Exp  : in Field := Default_Exp);

23
          Outputs the value of the parameter Item as a decimal literal
          with the format defined by Fore, Aft and Exp.  If the value is
          negative, or if Num is a floating point type where
          Num'Signed_Zeros is True and the value is a negatively signed
          zero, then a minus sign is included in the integer part.  If
          Exp has the value zero, then the integer part to be output has
          as many digits as are needed to represent the integer part of
          the value of Item, overriding Fore if necessary, or consists
          of the digit zero if the value of Item has no integer part.

24
          If Exp has a value greater than zero, then the integer part to
          be output has a single digit, which is nonzero except for the
          value 0.0 of Item.

25
          In both cases, however, if the integer part to be output has
          fewer than Fore characters, including any minus sign, then
          leading spaces are first output to make up the difference.
          The number of digits of the fractional part is given by Aft,
          or is one if Aft equals zero.  The value is rounded; a value
          of exactly one half in the last place is rounded away from
          zero.

26
          If Exp has the value zero, there is no exponent part.  If Exp
          has a value greater than zero, then the exponent part to be
          output has as many digits as are needed to represent the
          exponent part of the value of Item (for which a single digit
          integer part is used), and includes an initial sign (plus or
          minus).  If the exponent part to be output has fewer than Exp
          characters, including the sign, then leading zeros precede the
          digits, to make up the difference.  For the value 0.0 of Item,
          the exponent has the value zero.

27
     procedure Get(From : in String; Item : out Num; Last : out Positive);

28
          Reads a real value from the beginning of the given string,
          following the same rule as the Get procedure that reads a real
          value from a file, but treating the end of the string as a
          file terminator.  Returns, in the parameter Item, the value of
          type Num that corresponds to the sequence input.  Returns in
          Last the index value such that From(Last) is the last
          character read.

29
          The exception Data_Error is propagated if the sequence input
          does not have the required syntax, or if the value obtained is
          not of the subtype Num.

30
     procedure Put(To   : out String;
                   Item : in Num;
                   Aft  : in Field := Default_Aft;
                   Exp  : in Field := Default_Exp);

31
          Outputs the value of the parameter Item to the given string,
          following the same rule as for output to a file, using a value
          for Fore such that the sequence of characters output exactly
          fills the string, including any leading spaces.

32
Float_Text_IO is a library package that is a nongeneric equivalent to
Text_IO.Float_IO for the predefined type Float:

33
     with Ada.Text_IO;
     package Ada.Float_Text_IO is new Ada.Text_IO.Float_IO(Float);

34
For each predefined floating point type, a nongeneric equivalent to
Text_IO.Float_IO is provided, with names such as Ada.Long_Float_Text_IO.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

35
An implementation may extend Get [and Put] for floating point types to
support special values such as infinities and NaNs.

35.a/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} See also the similar
          permission for the Wide_Wide_Value, Wide_Value, and Value
          attributes in *note 3.5::.

36
The implementation of Put need not produce an output value with greater
accuracy than is supported for the base subtype.  The additional
accuracy, if any, of the value produced by Put when the number of
requested digits in the integer and fractional parts exceeds the
required accuracy is implementation defined.

36.a
          Discussion: The required accuracy is thus Num'Base'Digits
          digits if Num is a floating point subtype.  For a fixed point
          subtype the required accuracy is a function of the subtype's
          Fore, Aft, and Delta attributes.

36.b
          Implementation defined: The accuracy of the value produced by
          Put.

37
The nongeneric equivalent packages may, but need not, be actual
instantiations of the generic package for the appropriate predefined
type.

     NOTES

38
     34  For an item with a positive value, if output to a string
     exactly fills the string without leading spaces, then output of the
     corresponding negative value will propagate Layout_Error.

39
     35  The rules for the Value attribute (see *note 3.5::) and the
     rules for Get are based on the same set of formats.

                              _Examples_

A.10.10 Input-Output for Enumeration Types
------------------------------------------

                          _Static Semantics_

1
The following procedures are defined in the generic package
Enumeration_IO, which has to be instantiated for the appropriate
enumeration type (indicated by Enum in the specification).

2
Values are output using either upper or lower case letters for
identifiers.  This is specified by the parameter Set, which is of the
enumeration type Type_Set.

3
     type Type_Set is (Lower_Case, Upper_Case);

4
The format (which includes any trailing spaces) can be specified by an
optional field width parameter.  The default field width and letter case
are defined by the following variables that are declared in the generic
package Enumeration_IO:

5
     Default_Width   : Field := 0;
     Default_Setting : Type_Set := Upper_Case;

6
The following procedures are provided:

7
     procedure Get(File : in File_Type; Item : out Enum);
     procedure Get(Item : out Enum);

8
          After skipping any leading blanks, line terminators, or page
          terminators, reads an identifier according to the syntax of
          this lexical element (lower and upper case being considered
          equivalent), or a character literal according to the syntax of
          this lexical element (including the apostrophes).  Returns, in
          the parameter Item, the value of type Enum that corresponds to
          the sequence input.

9
          The exception Data_Error is propagated if the sequence input
          does not have the required syntax, or if the identifier or
          character literal does not correspond to a value of the
          subtype Enum.

10
     procedure Put(File  : in File_Type;
                   Item  : in Enum;
                   Width : in Field := Default_Width;
                   Set   : in Type_Set := Default_Setting);

     procedure Put(Item  : in Enum;
                   Width : in Field := Default_Width;
                   Set   : in Type_Set := Default_Setting);

11
          Outputs the value of the parameter Item as an enumeration
          literal (either an identifier or a character literal).  The
          optional parameter Set indicates whether lower case or upper
          case is used for identifiers; it has no effect for character
          literals.  If the sequence of characters produced has fewer
          than Width characters, then trailing spaces are finally output
          to make up the difference.  If Enum is a character type, the
          sequence of characters produced is as for Enum'Image(Item), as
          modified by the Width and Set parameters.

11.a/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} For a character type,
          the literal might be a Wide_Wide_Character, Wide_Character, or
          a control character.  Whatever Image does for these things is
          appropriate here, too.

11.b/3
          {<AI05-0036-1AI05-0036-1>} The "characters produced" defines
          the "characters to be output" in the sense of *note A.10.6::,
          so a result that cannot fit on any bounded line will raise
          Layout_Error.

12
     procedure Get(From : in String; Item : out Enum; Last : out Positive);

13
          Reads an enumeration value from the beginning of the given
          string, following the same rule as the Get procedure that
          reads an enumeration value from a file, but treating the end
          of the string as a file terminator.  Returns, in the parameter
          Item, the value of type Enum that corresponds to the sequence
          input.  Returns in Last the index value such that From(Last)
          is the last character read.

14
          The exception Data_Error is propagated if the sequence input
          does not have the required syntax, or if the identifier or
          character literal does not correspond to a value of the
          subtype Enum.

14.a/3
          To be honest: {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} For a character type,
          it is permissible for the implementation to make Get do the
          inverse of what Put does, in the case of wide and wide_wide
          character_literals and control characters.

15
     procedure Put(To   : out String;
                   Item : in Enum;
                   Set  : in Type_Set := Default_Setting);

16
          Outputs the value of the parameter Item to the given string,
          following the same rule as for output to a file, using the
          length of the given string as the value for Width.

17/1
{<8652/00548652/0054>} {<AI95-00007-01AI95-00007-01>} Although the
specification of the generic package Enumeration_IO would allow
instantiation for an integer type, this is not the intended purpose of
this generic package, and the effect of such instantiations is not
defined by the language.

     NOTES

18
     36  There is a difference between Put defined for characters, and
     for enumeration values.  Thus

19
             Ada.Text_IO.Put('A');  --<  outputs the character A>

20
             package Char_IO is new Ada.Text_IO.Enumeration_IO(Character);
             Char_IO.Put('A');  --<  outputs the character 'A', between apostrophes>

21
     37  The type Boolean is an enumeration type, hence Enumeration_IO
     can be instantiated for this type.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

21.a/2
          {<8652/00548652/0054>} {<AI95-00007-01AI95-00007-01>}
          Corrigendum: Corrected the wording to say Enumeration_IO can
          be instantiated with an integer type, not a float type.

A.12.1 The Package Streams.Stream_IO
------------------------------------

1
[The subprograms in the child package Streams.Stream_IO provide control
over stream files.  Access to a stream file is either sequential, via a
call on Read or Write to transfer an array of stream elements, or
positional (if supported by the implementation for the given file), by
specifying a relative index for an element.  Since a stream file can be
converted to a Stream_Access value, calling stream-oriented attribute
subprograms of different element types with the same Stream_Access value
provides heterogeneous input-output.]  See *note 13.13:: for a general
discussion of streams.

1.1/1
{<8652/00558652/0055>} {<AI95-00026-01AI95-00026-01>} The elements of a
stream file are stream elements.  If positioning is supported for the
specified external file, a current index and current size are maintained
for the file as described in *note A.8::.  If positioning is not
supported, a current index is not maintained, and the current size is
implementation defined.

1.a.1/1

27.1/2
{<AI95-00360-01AI95-00360-01>} The type File_Type needs finalization
(see *note 7.6::).

28/4
{<AI95-00283-01AI95-00283-01>} {<AI12-0130-1AI12-0130-1>} The
subprograms given in subclause *note A.8.2:: for the control of external
files (Create, Open, Close, Delete, Reset, Mode, Name, Form, Is_Open,
and Flush) are available for stream files.

28.1/2
{<AI95-00283-01AI95-00283-01>} The End_Of_File function:

28.2/2
   * Propagates Mode_Error if the mode of the file is not In_File;

28.3/3
   * {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} If positioning is supported for the
     given external file, the function returns True if the current index
     exceeds the size of the external file; otherwise, it returns False;

28.4/3
   * {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} If positioning is not supported for the
     given external file, the function returns True if no more elements
     can be read from the given file; otherwise, it returns False.

28.5/2
{<8652/00558652/0055>} {<AI95-00026-01AI95-00026-01>}
{<AI95-00085-01AI95-00085-01>} The Set_Mode procedure sets the mode of
the file.  If the new mode is Append_File, the file is positioned to its
end; otherwise, the position in the file is unchanged.

28.6/4
<This paragraph was deleted.>{<8652/00558652/0055>}
{<AI95-00026-01AI95-00026-01>} {<AI12-0130-1AI12-0130-1>}

29/1
{<8652/00568652/0056>} {<AI95-00001-01AI95-00001-01>} The Stream
function returns a Stream_Access result from a File_Type object, thus
allowing the stream-oriented attributes Read, Write, Input, and Output
to be used on the same file for multiple types.  Stream propagates
Status_Error if File is not open.

30/2
{<AI95-00256-01AI95-00256-01>} The procedures Read and Write are
equivalent to the corresponding operations in the package Streams.  Read
propagates Mode_Error if the mode of File is not In_File.  Write
propagates Mode_Error if the mode of File is not Out_File or
Append_File.  The Read procedure with a Positive_Count parameter starts
reading at the specified index.  The Write procedure with a
Positive_Count parameter starts writing at the specified index.  For a
file that supports positioning, Read without a Positive_Count parameter
starts reading at the current index, and Write without a Positive_Count
parameter starts writing at the current index.

30.1/1
{<8652/00558652/0055>} {<AI95-00026-01AI95-00026-01>} The Size function
returns the current size of the file.

31/1
{<8652/00558652/0055>} {<AI95-00026-01AI95-00026-01>} The Index function
returns the current index.

31.a/1
          <This paragraph was deleted.>

32
The Set_Index procedure sets the current index to the specified value.

32.1/1
{<8652/00558652/0055>} {<AI95-00026-01AI95-00026-01>} If positioning is
supported for the external file, the current index is maintained as
follows:

32.2/1
   * {<8652/00558652/0055>} {<AI95-00026-01AI95-00026-01>} For Open and
     Create, if the Mode parameter is Append_File, the current index is
     set to the current size of the file plus one; otherwise, the
     current index is set to one.

32.3/1
   * {<8652/00558652/0055>} {<AI95-00026-01AI95-00026-01>} For Reset, if
     the Mode parameter is Append_File, or no Mode parameter is given
     and the current mode is Append_File, the current index is set to
     the current size of the file plus one; otherwise, the current index
     is set to one.

32.4/1
   * {<8652/00558652/0055>} {<AI95-00026-01AI95-00026-01>} For Set_Mode,
     if the new mode is Append_File, the current index is set to current
     size plus one; otherwise, the current index is unchanged.

32.5/1
   * {<8652/00558652/0055>} {<AI95-00026-01AI95-00026-01>} For Read and
     Write without a Positive_Count parameter, the current index is
     incremented by the number of stream elements read or written.

32.6/1
   * {<8652/00558652/0055>} {<AI95-00026-01AI95-00026-01>} For Read and
     Write with a Positive_Count parameter, the value of the current
     index is set to the value of the Positive_Count parameter plus the
     number of stream elements read or written.

33
If positioning is not supported for the given file, then a call of Index
or Set_Index propagates Use_Error.  Similarly, a call of Read or Write
with a Positive_Count parameter propagates Use_Error.

33.a/2
          Implementation Note: {<AI95-00085-01AI95-00085-01>} It is
          permissible for an implementation to implement mode
          Append_File using the Unix append mode (the O_APPEND bit).
          Such an implementation does not support positioning when the
          mode is Append_File, and therefore the operations listed above
          must raise Use_Error.  This is acceptable as there is no
          requirement that any particular file support positioning;
          therefore it is acceptable that a file support positioning
          when opened with mode Out_File, and the same file not support
          positioning when opened with mode Append_File.  But it is not
          acceptable for a file to support positioning (by allowing the
          above operations), but to do something other than the defined
          semantics (that is, always write at the end, even when
          explicitly commanded to write somewhere else).

<Paragraphs 34 through 36 were deleted.>

                         _Erroneous Execution_

36.1/1
{<8652/00568652/0056>} {<AI95-00001-01AI95-00001-01>} If the File_Type
object passed to the Stream function is later closed or finalized, and
the stream-oriented attributes are subsequently called (explicitly or
implicitly) on the Stream_Access value returned by Stream, execution is
erroneous.  This rule applies even if the File_Type object was opened
again after it had been closed.

36.a.1/1
          Reason: These rules are analogous to the rule for the result
          of the Current_Input, Current_Output, and Current_Error
          functions.  These rules make it possible to represent a value
          of (some descendant of) Root_Stream_Type which represents a
          file as an access value, with a null value corresponding to a
          closed file.

                     _Inconsistencies With Ada 95_

36.a/3
          {<AI95-00283-01AI95-00283-01>} {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>}
          Amendment Correction: The description of the subprograms for
          managing files was corrected so that they do not require
          truncation of the external file -- a stream file is not a
          sequential file.  An Ada 95 program that expects truncation of
          the stream file might not work under Ada 2005.  Note that the
          Ada 95 standard was ambiguous on this point (the normative
          wording seemed to require truncation, but didn't explain
          where; the AARM notes seemed to expect behavior like
          Direct_IO), and implementations varied widely.  Therefore, as
          a practical matter, code that depends on stream truncation
          might not work even in Ada 95; deleting the file before
          opening it provides truncation that works in both Ada 95 and
          Ada 2005.

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 95_

36.b/2
          {<AI95-00360-01AI95-00360-01>} Amendment Correction:
          Stream_IO.File_Type is defined to need finalization.  If the
          restriction No_Nested_Finalization (see *note D.7::) applies
          to the partition, and File_Type does not have a controlled
          part, it will not be allowed in local objects in Ada 2005
          whereas it would be allowed in original Ada 95.  Such code is
          not portable, as another Ada compiler may have a controlled
          part in File_Type, and thus would be illegal.

          Corrigendum: Clarified that Stream can raise Status_Error, and
          clarified that using a Stream_Access whose file has been
          closed is erroneous.

36.f/2

A.12.2 The Package Text_IO.Text_Streams
---------------------------------------

1
The package Text_IO.Text_Streams provides a function for treating a text
file as a stream.

                          _Static Semantics_

2
The library package Text_IO.Text_Streams has the following declaration:

3
     with Ada.Streams;
     package Ada.Text_IO.Text_Streams is
        type Stream_Access is access all Streams.Root_Stream_Type'Class;

4
        function Stream (File : in File_Type) return Stream_Access;

5
The Stream function has the same effect as the corresponding function in
Streams.Stream_IO.

     NOTES

6
     38  The ability to obtain a stream for a text file allows
     Current_Input, Current_Output, and Current_Error to be processed
     with the functionality of streams, including the mixing of text and
     binary input-output, and the mixing of binary input-output for
     different types.

7
     39  Performing operations on the stream associated with a text file
     does not affect the column, line, or page counts.

A.13 Exceptions in Input-Output
===============================

1
The package IO_Exceptions defines the exceptions needed by the
predefined input-output packages.

                          _Static Semantics_

2
The library package IO_Exceptions has the following declaration:

3
     package Ada.IO_Exceptions is
        pragma Pure(IO_Exceptions);

4
        Status_Error : exception;
        Mode_Error   : exception;
        Name_Error   : exception;
        Use_Error    : exception;
        Device_Error : exception;
        End_Error    : exception;
        Data_Error   : exception;
        Layout_Error : exception;

5
     end Ada.IO_Exceptions;

6
If more than one error condition exists, the corresponding exception
that appears earliest in the following list is the one that is
propagated.

7
The exception Status_Error is propagated by an attempt to operate upon a
file that is not open, and by an attempt to open a file that is already
open.

8
The exception Mode_Error is propagated by an attempt to read from, or
test for the end of, a file whose current mode is Out_File or
Append_File, and also by an attempt to write to a file whose current
mode is In_File.  In the case of Text_IO, the exception Mode_Error is
also propagated by specifying a file whose current mode is Out_File or
Append_File in a call of Set_Input, Skip_Line, End_Of_Line, Skip_Page,
or End_Of_Page; and by specifying a file whose current mode is In_File
in a call of Set_Output, Set_Line_Length, Set_Page_Length, Line_Length,
Page_Length, New_Line, or New_Page.

9
The exception Name_Error is propagated by a call of Create or Open if
the string given for the parameter Name does not allow the
identification of an external file.  For example, this exception is
propagated if the string is improper, or, alternatively, if either none
or more than one external file corresponds to the string.

10
The exception Use_Error is propagated if an operation is attempted that
is not possible for reasons that depend on characteristics of the
external file.  For example, this exception is propagated by the
procedure Create, among other circumstances, if the given mode is
Out_File but the form specifies an input only device, if the parameter
Form specifies invalid access rights, or if an external file with the
given name already exists and overwriting is not allowed.

11
The exception Device_Error is propagated if an input-output operation
cannot be completed because of a malfunction of the underlying system.

12
The exception End_Error is propagated by an attempt to skip (read past)
the end of a file.

13
The exception Data_Error can be propagated by the procedure Read (or by
the Read attribute) if the element read cannot be interpreted as a value
of the required subtype.  This exception is also propagated by a
procedure Get (defined in the package Text_IO) if the input character
sequence fails to satisfy the required syntax, or if the value input
does not belong to the range of the required subtype.

14
The exception Layout_Error is propagated (in text input-output) by Col,
Line, or Page if the value returned exceeds Count'Last.  The exception
Layout_Error is also propagated on output by an attempt to set column or
line numbers in excess of specified maximum line or page lengths,
respectively (excluding the unbounded cases).  It is also propagated by
an attempt to Put too many characters to a string.

14.1/3
{<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} These exceptions are also propagated by
various other language-defined packages and operations, see the
definition of those entities for other reasons that these exceptions are
propagated.

14.a/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} This subclause is based in
          Ada 95.  Later versions of Ada (starting with Technical
          Corrigendum 1) have added a number of additional places and
          reasons that cause these exceptions.  In particular, TC1 says
          that stream attributes need to raise End_Error in some
          circumstances; Amendment 1 adds Ada.Directories and a number
          of new places and reasons that Name_Error and Use_Error are
          raised.  There are more.  We don't want to try to update this
          text (or even this note!)  for every possible reason and place
          that might raise one of these exceptions, so we add this
          blanket statement.

                     _Documentation Requirements_

15
The implementation shall document the conditions under which Name_Error,
Use_Error and Device_Error are propagated.

15.a/2
          Documentation Requirement: The conditions under which
          Io_Exceptions.Name_Error, Io_Exceptions.Use_Error, and
          Io_Exceptions.Device_Error are propagated.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

16
If the associated check is too complex, an implementation need not
propagate Data_Error as part of a procedure Read (or the Read attribute)
if the value read cannot be interpreted as a value of the required
subtype.

16.a
          Ramification: An example where the implementation may choose
          not to perform the check is an enumeration type with a
          representation clause with "holes" in the range of internal
          codes.

                         _Erroneous Execution_

17
[If the element read by the procedure Read (or by the Read attribute)
cannot be interpreted as a value of the required subtype, but this is
not detected and Data_Error is not propagated, then the resulting value
can be abnormal, and subsequent references to the value can lead to
erroneous execution, as explained in *note 13.9.1::.  ]

A.14 File Sharing
=================

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

1
It is not specified by the language whether the same external file can
be associated with more than one file object.  If such sharing is
supported by the implementation, the following effects are defined:

2
   * Operations on one text file object do not affect the column, line,
     and page numbers of any other file object.

3/1
   * <This paragraph was deleted.>{<8652/00578652/0057>}
     {<AI95-00050-01AI95-00050-01>}

4
   * For direct and stream files, the current index is a property of
     each file object; an operation on one file object does not affect
     the current index of any other file object.

5
   * For direct and stream files, the current size of the file is a
     property of the external file.

6
All other effects are identical.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

6.a/2
          {<8652/00578652/0057>} {<AI95-00050-01AI95-00050-01>}
          Corrigendum: Removed the incorrect statement that the external
          files associated with the standard input, standard output, and
          standard error files are distinct.

A.15 The Package Command_Line
=============================

1
The package Command_Line allows a program to obtain the values of its
arguments and to set the exit status code to be returned on normal
termination.

1.a/2
          Implementation defined: The meaning of Argument_Count,
          Argument, and Command_Name for package Command_Line.  The
          bounds of type Command_Line.Exit_Status.

                          _Static Semantics_

2
The library package Ada.Command_Line has the following declaration:

3
     package Ada.Command_Line is
       pragma Preelaborate(Command_Line);

4
       function Argument_Count return Natural;

5
       function Argument (Number : in Positive) return String;

6
       function Command_Name return String;

7
       type Exit_Status is <implementation-defined integer type>;

8
       Success : constant Exit_Status;
       Failure : constant Exit_Status;

9
       procedure Set_Exit_Status (Code : in Exit_Status);

10
     private
       ... -- <not specified by the language>
     end Ada.Command_Line;


11
     function Argument_Count return Natural;

12/3
          {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} If the external execution
          environment supports passing arguments to a program, then
          Argument_Count returns the number of arguments passed to the
          program invoking the function.  Otherwise, it returns 0.  The
          meaning of "number of arguments" is implementation defined.

13
     function Argument (Number : in Positive) return String;

14
          If the external execution environment supports passing
          arguments to a program, then Argument returns an
          implementation-defined value corresponding to the argument at
          relative position Number.  If Number is outside the range
          1..Argument_Count, then Constraint_Error is propagated.

14.a
          Ramification: If the external execution environment does not
          support passing arguments to a program, then Argument(N) for
          any N will raise Constraint_Error, since Argument_Count is 0.

15
     function Command_Name return String;

16/3
          {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} If the external execution
          environment supports passing arguments to a program, then
          Command_Name returns an implementation-defined value
          corresponding to the name of the command invoking the program;
          otherwise, Command_Name returns the null string.

16.1/1
     type Exit_Status is <implementation-defined integer type>;

17
          The type Exit_Status represents the range of exit status
          values supported by the external execution environment.  The
          constants Success and Failure correspond to success and
          failure, respectively.

18
     procedure Set_Exit_Status (Code : in Exit_Status);

19
          If the external execution environment supports returning an
          exit status from a program, then Set_Exit_Status sets Code as
          the status.  Normal termination of a program returns as the
          exit status the value most recently set by Set_Exit_Status,
          or, if no such value has been set, then the value Success.  If
          a program terminates abnormally, the status set by
          Set_Exit_Status is ignored, and an implementation-defined exit
          status value is set.

20
          If the external execution environment does not support
          returning an exit value from a program, then Set_Exit_Status
          does nothing.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

21
An alternative declaration is allowed for package Command_Line if
different functionality is appropriate for the external execution
environment.

     NOTES

22
     40  Argument_Count, Argument, and Command_Name correspond to the C
     language's argc, argv[n] (for n>0) and argv[0], respectively.

22.a
          To be honest: The correspondence of Argument_Count to argc is
          not direct -- argc would be one more than Argument_Count,
          since the argc count includes the command name, whereas
          Argument_Count does not.

A.16 The Package Directories
============================

1/2
{<AI95-00248-01AI95-00248-01>} The package Directories provides
operations for manipulating files and directories, and their names.

1.a/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} The notes for this
          subclause contain the expected interpretations of some of the
          operations on various target systems.  "Unix" refers to the
          UNIX® operating system, and in most cases also covers
          Unix-like systems such as Linux and POSIX. "Windows®" refers
          to the Microsoft® Windows® 2000 operating system and usually
          also covers most other versions that use the Win32 API.

45/2
{<AI95-00248-01AI95-00248-01>} External files may be classified as
directories, special files, or ordinary files.  A <directory> is an
external file that is a container for files on the target system.  A
<special file> is an external file that cannot be created or read by a
predefined Ada input-output package.  External files that are not
special files or directories are called <ordinary files>.  

45.a/2
          Ramification: A directory is an external file, although it may
          not have a name on some targets.  A directory is not a special
          file, as it can be created and read by Directories.

45.b/2

          directory names.

47/2
{<AI95-00248-01AI95-00248-01>} The <full name> of an external file is a
full specification of the name of the file.  If the external environment
allows alternative specifications of the name (for example,
abbreviations), the full name should not use such alternatives.  A full
name typically will include the names of all of the directories that
contain the item.  The <simple name> of an external file is the name of
the item, not including any containing directory names.  Unless
otherwise specified, a file name or directory name parameter in a call
to a predefined Ada input-output subprogram can be a full name, a simple
name, or any other form of name supported by the implementation.  

47.a/2
          Discussion: The full name on Unix is a complete path to the
          root.  For Windows®, the full name includes a complete path,
          as well as a disk name ("C:") or network share name.  For both
          systems, the simple name is the part of the name following the
          last '/' (or ''\'' for Windows®).  For example, in the name
          "/usr/randy/ada-directories.ads", "ada-directories.ads" is the
          simple name.

47.b/2
          Ramification: It is possible for a file or directory name to
          be neither a full name nor a simple name.  For instance, the
          Unix name "../parent/myfile" is neither a full name nor a
          simple name.

48/2
{<AI95-00248-01AI95-00248-01>} The <default directory> is the directory
that is used if a directory or file name is not a full name (that is,
when the name does not fully identify all of the containing
directories).  

48.a/2
          Discussion: The default directory is the one maintained by the
          familiar "cd" command on Unix and Windows®.  Note that
          Windows® maintains separate default directories for each disk
          drive; implementations should use the natural implementation.

49/2
{<AI95-00248-01AI95-00248-01>} A <directory entry> is a single item in a
directory, identifying a single external file (including directories and
special files).  

50/2
{<AI95-00248-01AI95-00248-01>} For each function that returns a string,
the lower bound of the returned value is 1.

51/2
{<AI95-00248-01AI95-00248-01>} The following file and directory
operations are provided:

52/2
     function Current_Directory return String;

53/2
          Returns the full directory name for the current default
          directory.  The name returned shall be suitable for a future
          call to Set_Directory.  The exception Use_Error is propagated
          if a default directory is not supported by the external
          environment.

54/2
     procedure Set_Directory (Directory : in String);

55/2
          Sets the current default directory.  The exception Name_Error
          is propagated if the string given as Directory does not
          identify an existing directory.  The exception Use_Error is
          propagated if the external environment does not support making
          Directory (in the absence of Name_Error) a default directory.

56/2

                                 Form          : in String := "");

57/2
          Creates a directory with name New_Directory.  The Form
          parameter can be used to give system-dependent characteristics
          of the directory; the interpretation of the Form parameter is
          implementation-defined.  A null string for Form specifies the
          use of the default options of the implementation of the new
          directory.  The exception Name_Error is propagated if the
          string given as New_Directory does not allow the
          identification of a directory.  The exception Use_Error is
          propagated if the external environment does not support the
          creation of a directory with the given name (in the absence of
          Name_Error) and form.

58/2
     procedure Delete_Directory (Directory : in String);

59/3
          {<AI05-0231-1AI05-0231-1>} Deletes an existing empty directory
          with name Directory.  The exception Name_Error is propagated
          if the string given as Directory does not identify an existing
          directory.  The exception Use_Error is propagated if the
          directory is not empty or the external environment does not
          support the deletion of the directory with the given name (in
          the absence of Name_Error).

60/2
     procedure Create_Path (New_Directory : in String;
                            Form          : in String := "");

61/3
          {<AI05-0271-1AI05-0271-1>} Creates zero or more directories
          with name New_Directory.  Each nonexistent directory named by
          New_Directory is created.[ For example, on a typical Unix
          system, Create_Path ("/usr/me/my"); would create directory
          "me" in directory "usr", then create directory "my" in
          directory "me".]  The Form parameter can be used to give
          system-dependent characteristics of the directory; the
          interpretation of the Form parameter is
          implementation-defined.  A null string for Form specifies the
          use of the default options of the implementation of the new
          directory.  The exception Name_Error is propagated if the
          string given as New_Directory does not allow the
          identification of any directory.  The exception Use_Error is
          propagated if the external environment does not support the
          creation of any directories with the given name (in the
          absence of Name_Error) and form.  If Use_Error is propagated,
          it is unspecified whether a portion of the directory path is
          created.

62/2
     procedure Delete_Tree (Directory : in String);

63/2
          Deletes an existing directory with name Directory.  The
          directory and all of its contents (possibly including other
          directories) are deleted.  The exception Name_Error is
          propagated if the string given as Directory does not identify
          an existing directory.  The exception Use_Error is propagated
          if the external environment does not support the deletion of
          the directory or some portion of its contents with the given
          name (in the absence of Name_Error).  If Use_Error is
          propagated, it is unspecified whether a portion of the
          contents of the directory is deleted.

64/2
     procedure Delete_File (Name : in String);

65/2
          Deletes an existing ordinary or special file with name Name.
          The exception Name_Error is propagated if the string given as
          Name does not identify an existing ordinary or special
          external file.  The exception Use_Error is propagated if the
          external environment does not support the deletion of the file
          with the given name (in the absence of Name_Error).

66/2
     procedure Rename (Old_Name, New_Name : in String);

67/3
          {<AI05-0231-1AI05-0231-1>} Renames an existing external file
          (including directories) with name Old_Name to New_Name.  The
          exception Name_Error is propagated if the string given as
          Old_Name does not identify an existing external file or if the
          string given as New_Name does not allow the identification of
          an external file.  The exception Use_Error is propagated if
          the external environment does not support the renaming of the
          file with the given name (in the absence of Name_Error).  In
          particular, Use_Error is propagated if a file or directory
          already exists with name New_Name.

67.a/2
          Implementation Note: This operation is expected to work within
          a single directory, and implementers are encouraged to support
          it across directories on a single device.  Copying files from
          one device to another is discouraged (that's what Copy_File is
          for).  However, there is no requirement to detect file copying
          by the target system.  If the target system has an API that
          gives that for "free", it can be used.  For Windows®, for
          instance, MoveFile can be used to implement Rename.

68/3
     {<AI05-0092-1AI05-0092-1>} procedure Copy_File (Source_Name,
                          Target_Name : in String;
                          Form        : in String := "");

69/3
          {<AI05-0271-1AI05-0271-1>} Copies the contents of the existing
          external file with name Source_Name to an external file with
          name Target_Name.  The resulting external file is a duplicate
          of the source external file.  The Form parameter can be used
          to give system-dependent characteristics of the resulting
          external file; the interpretation of the Form parameter is
          implementation-defined.  Exception Name_Error is propagated if
          the string given as Source_Name does not identify an existing
          external ordinary or special file, or if the string given as
          Target_Name does not allow the identification of an external
          file.  The exception Use_Error is propagated if the external
          environment does not support creating the file with the name
          given by Target_Name and form given by Form, or copying of the
          file with the name given by Source_Name (in the absence of
          Name_Error).  If Use_Error is propagated, it is unspecified
          whether a portion of the file is copied.

69.a/2
          Ramification: Name_Error is always raised if Source_Name
          identifies a directory.  It is up to the implementation
          whether special files can be copied, or if Use_Error will be
          raised.

70/2
{<AI95-00248-01AI95-00248-01>} The following file and directory name
operations are provided:

71/2
     function Full_Name (Name : in String) return String;

72/2
          Returns the full name corresponding to the file name specified
          by Name.  The exception Name_Error is propagated if the string
          given as Name does not allow the identification of an external
          file (including directories and special files).

72.a/2
          Discussion: Full name means that no abbreviations are used in
          the returned name, and that it is a full specification of the
          name.  Thus, for Unix and Windows®, the result should be a
          full path that does not contain any "."  or ".."  directories.
          Typically, the default directory is used to fill in any
          missing information.

73/2
     function Simple_Name (Name : in String) return String;

74/2
          Returns the simple name portion of the file name specified by
          Name.  The exception Name_Error is propagated if the string
          given as Name does not allow the identification of an external
          file (including directories and special files).

75/2
     function Containing_Directory (Name : in String) return String;

76/2
          Returns the name of the containing directory of the external
          file (including directories) identified by Name.  (If more
          than one directory can contain Name, the directory name
          returned is implementation-defined.)  The exception Name_Error
          is propagated if the string given as Name does not allow the
          identification of an external file.  The exception Use_Error
          is propagated if the external file does not have a containing
          directory.

76.a/2
          Discussion: This is purely a string manipulation function.  If
          Name is not given as a full name, the containing directory
          probably won't be one, either.  For example, if
          Containing_Directory ("..'\'AARM'\'RM-A-8") is called on
          Windows®, the result should be "..'\'AARM". If there is no
          path at all on the name, the result should be "."  (which
          represents the current directory).  Use Full_Name on the
          result of Containing_Directory if the full name is needed.

77/2
     function Extension (Name : in String) return String;

78/2
          Returns the extension name corresponding to Name.  The
          extension name is a portion of a simple name (not including
          any separator characters), typically used to identify the file
          class.  If the external environment does not have extension
          names, then the null string is returned.  The exception
          Name_Error is propagated if the string given as Name does not
          allow the identification of an external file.

78.a/2
          Discussion: For Unix and Windows®, the extension is the
          portion of the simple name following the rightmost period.
          For example, in the simple name "RM-A-8.html", the extension
          is "html".

79/2
     function Base_Name (Name : in String) return String;

80/2
          Returns the base name corresponding to Name.  The base name is
          the remainder of a simple name after removing any extension
          and extension separators.  The exception Name_Error is
          propagated if the string given as Name does not allow the
          identification of an external file (including directories and
          special files).

80.a/2
          Discussion: For Unix and Windows®, the base name is the
          portion of the simple name preceding the rightmost period
          (except for the special directory names "."  and "..", whose
          Base_Name is "."  and "..").  For example, in the simple name
          "RM-A-8.html", the base name is "RM-A-8".

81/2
     function Compose (Containing_Directory : in String := "";
                       Name                 : in String;
                       Extension            : in String := "") return String;

82/3
          {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} Returns the name of the external
          file with the specified Containing_Directory, Name, and
          Extension.  If Extension is the null string, then Name is
          interpreted as a simple name; otherwise, Name is interpreted
          as a base name.  The exception Name_Error is propagated if the
          string given as Containing_Directory is not null and does not
          allow the identification of a directory, or if the string
          given as Extension is not null and is not a possible
          extension, or if the string given as Name is not a possible
          simple name (if Extension is null) or base name (if Extension
          is nonnull).

82.a/2
          Ramification: The above definition implies that if the
          Extension is null, for Unix and Windows® no '.'  is added to
          Name.

82.b/2
          Discussion: If Name is null, Name_Error should be raised, as
          nothing is not a possible simple name or base name.

82.c/2
          Generally, Compose(Containing_Directory(F),
          Base_Name(F),Extension(F)) = F. However, this is not true on
          Unix or Windows® for file names that end with a '.';
          Compose(Base_Name("Fooey."),Extension("Fooey."))  = "Fooey".
          This is not a problem for Windows®, as the names have the same
          meaning with or without the '.', but these are different names
          for Unix.  Thus, care needs to be taken on Unix; if Extension
          is null, Base_Name should be avoided.  (That's not usually a
          problem with file names generated by a program.)

82.1/3
     {<AI05-0049-1AI05-0049-1>} function Name_Case_Equivalence (Name : in String) return Name_Case_Kind;

82.2/3
          {<AI05-0049-1AI05-0049-1>} {<AI05-0248-1AI05-0248-1>} Returns
          the file name equivalence rule for the directory containing
          Name.  Raises Name_Error if Name is not a full name.  Returns
          Case_Sensitive if file names that differ only in the case of
          letters are considered different names.  If file names that
          differ only in the case of letters are considered the same
          name, then Case_Preserving is returned if names have the case
          of the file name used when a file is created; and
          Case_Insensitive is returned otherwise.  Returns Unknown if
          the file name equivalence is not known.

82.c.1/3
          Implementation Note: Unix, Linux, and their relatives are
          Case_Sensitive systems.  Microsoft® Windows® is a
          Case_Preserving system (unless the rarely used POSIX mode is
          used).  Ancient systems like CP/M and early MS-DOS were
          Case_Insensitive systems (file names were always in UPPER
          CASE). Unknown is provided in case it is impossible to tell
          (such as could be the case for network files).

83/2
{<AI95-00248-01AI95-00248-01>} The following file and directory queries
and types are provided:

84/2
     type File_Kind is (Directory, Ordinary_File, Special_File);

85/2
          The type File_Kind represents the kind of file represented by
          an external file or directory.

86/2
     type File_Size is range 0 .. <implementation-defined>;

87/2
          The type File_Size represents the size of an external file.

87.a/2
          Implementation defined: The maximum value for a file size in
          Directories.

88/2
     function Exists (Name : in String) return Boolean;

89/2
          Returns True if an external file represented by Name exists,
          and False otherwise.  The exception Name_Error is propagated
          if the string given as Name does not allow the identification
          of an external file (including directories and special files).

90/2
     function Kind (Name : in String) return File_Kind;

91/2
          Returns the kind of external file represented by Name.  The
          exception Name_Error is propagated if the string given as Name
          does not allow the identification of an existing external
          file.

92/2
     function Size (Name : in String) return File_Size;

93/2
          Returns the size of the external file represented by Name.
          The size of an external file is the number of stream elements
          contained in the file.  If the external file is not an
          ordinary file, the result is implementation-defined.  The
          exception Name_Error is propagated if the string given as Name
          does not allow the identification of an existing external
          file.  The exception Constraint_Error is propagated if the
          file size is not a value of type File_Size.

93.a/2
          Implementation defined: The result for Directories.Size for a
          directory or special file

93.b/2
          Discussion: We allow raising Constraint_Error, so that an
          implementation for a system with 64-bit file sizes does not
          need to support full numerics on 64-bit integers just to
          implement this package.  Of course, if 64-bit integers are
          available on such a system, they should be used when defining
          type File_Size.

94/2
     function Modification_Time (Name : in String) return Ada.Calendar.Time;

95/2
          Returns the time that the external file represented by Name
          was most recently modified.  If the external file is not an
          ordinary file, the result is implementation-defined.  The
          exception Name_Error is propagated if the string given as Name
          does not allow the identification of an existing external
          file.  The exception Use_Error is propagated if the external
          environment does not support reading the modification time of
          the file with the name given by Name (in the absence of
          Name_Error).

95.a/2
          Implementation defined: The result for
          Directories.Modification_Time for a directory or special file.

96/2
{<AI95-00248-01AI95-00248-01>} The following directory searching
operations and types are provided:

97/2
     type Directory_Entry_Type is limited private;

98/2
          The type Directory_Entry_Type represents a single item in a
          directory.  These items can only be created by the
          Get_Next_Entry procedure in this package.  Information about
          the item can be obtained from the functions declared in this
          package.  A default-initialized object of this type is
          invalid; objects returned from Get_Next_Entry are valid.

99/2
     type Filter_Type is array (File_Kind) of Boolean;

100/2
          The type Filter_Type specifies which directory entries are
          provided from a search operation.  If the Directory component
          is True, directory entries representing directories are
          provided.  If the Ordinary_File component is True, directory
          entries representing ordinary files are provided.  If the
          Special_File component is True, directory entries representing
          special files are provided.

101/2
     type Search_Type is limited private;

102/2
          The type Search_Type contains the state of a directory search.
          A default-initialized Search_Type object has no entries
          available (function More_Entries returns False).  Type
          Search_Type needs finalization (see *note 7.6::).

          search in the directory named by Directory for entries
          matching Pattern and Filter.  Pattern represents a pattern for
          matching file names.  If Pattern is the null string, all items
          in the directory are matched; otherwise, the interpretation of
          Pattern is implementation-defined.  Only items that match
          Filter will be returned.  After a successful call on
          Start_Search, the object Search may have entries available,
          but it may have no entries available if no files or
          directories match Pattern and Filter.  The exception
          Name_Error is propagated if the string given by Directory does
          not identify an existing directory, or if Pattern does not
          allow the identification of any possible external file or
          directory.  The exception Use_Error is propagated if the
          external environment does not support the searching of the
          directory with the given name (in the absence of Name_Error).
          When Start_Search propagates Name_Error or Use_Error, the
          object Search will have no entries available.

          is raised.  It is implementation-defined as to whether the
          results returned by this subprogram are altered if the
          contents of the directory are altered while the Search object
          is valid (for example, by another program).  The exception
          Use_Error is propagated if the external environment does not
          support continued searching of the directory represented by
          Search.

110.a/2
          Implementation defined: The results of a Directories search if
          the contents of the directory are altered while a search is in
          progress.

111/2
     procedure Search (
         Directory : in String;
         Pattern   : in String;
         Filter    : in Filter_Type := (others => True);
         Process   : not null access procedure (
             Directory_Entry : in Directory_Entry_Type));

112/3
          {<AI05-0092-1AI05-0092-1>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} Searches
          in the directory named by Directory for entries matching
          Pattern and Filter.  The subprogram designated by Process is
          called with each matching entry in turn.  Pattern represents a
          pattern for matching file names.  If Pattern is the null
          string, all items in the directory are matched; otherwise, the
          interpretation of Pattern is implementation-defined.  Only
          items that match Filter will be returned.  The exception
          Name_Error is propagated if the string given by Directory does
          not identify an existing directory, or if Pattern does not
          allow the identification of any possible external file or
          directory.  The exception Use_Error is propagated if the
          external environment does not support the searching of the
          directory with the given name (in the absence of Name_Error).

112.a/2
          Discussion: "In turn" means that the calls to the subprogram
          designated by Process are not made in parallel; they can be
          made in any order but must be in sequence.

113/2
     function Simple_Name (Directory_Entry : in Directory_Entry_Type)
          return String;

114/2
          Returns the simple external name of the external file
          (including directories) represented by Directory_Entry.  The
          format of the name returned is implementation-defined.  The
          exception Status_Error is propagated if Directory_Entry is
          invalid.

115/2
     function Full_Name (Directory_Entry : in Directory_Entry_Type)
          return String;

116/2
          Returns the full external name of the external file (including
          directories) represented by Directory_Entry.  The format of
          the name returned is implementation-defined.  The exception
          Status_Error is propagated if Directory_Entry is invalid.

117/2
     function Kind (Directory_Entry : in Directory_Entry_Type)
          return File_Kind;

118/2
          Returns the kind of external file represented by
          Directory_Entry.  The exception Status_Error is propagated if
          Directory_Entry is invalid.

119/2
     function Size (Directory_Entry : in Directory_Entry_Type)
          return File_Size;

120/2
          Returns the size of the external file represented by
          Directory_Entry.  The size of an external file is the number
          of stream elements contained in the file.  If the external
          file represented by Directory_Entry is not an ordinary file,
          the result is implementation-defined.  The exception
          Status_Error is propagated if Directory_Entry is invalid.  The
          exception Constraint_Error is propagated if the file size is
          not a value of type File_Size.

121/2
     function Modification_Time (Directory_Entry : in Directory_Entry_Type)
          return Ada.Calendar.Time;

122/2
          Returns the time that the external file represented by
          Directory_Entry was most recently modified.  If the external
          file represented by Directory_Entry is not an ordinary file,
          the result is implementation-defined.  The exception
          Status_Error is propagated if Directory_Entry is invalid.  The
          exception Use_Error is propagated if the external environment
          does not support reading the modification time of the file
          represented by Directory_Entry.

                     _Implementation Requirements_

123/2
For Copy_File, if Source_Name identifies an existing external ordinary
file created by a predefined Ada input-output package, and Target_Name
and Form can be used in the Create operation of that input-output
package with mode Out_File without raising an exception, then Copy_File
shall not propagate Use_Error.

123.a/2
          Discussion: This means that Copy_File will copy any file that
          the Ada programmer could copy (by writing some possibly
          complicated Ada code).

                        _Implementation Advice_

124/2
If other information about a file (such as the owner or creation date)
is available in a directory entry, the implementation should provide
functions in a child package Directories.Information to retrieve it.

124.a/2
          Implementation Advice: Package Directories.Information should
          be provided to retrieve other information about a file.

          We give these definitions to give guidance so that every
          implementation for a given target is not unnecessarily
          different.  Implementers are encouraged to make packages for
          other targets as similar to these as possible.

125/3
{<AI05-0231-1AI05-0231-1>} Start_Search and Search should raise
Name_Error if Pattern is malformed, but not if it could represent a file
in the directory but does not actually do so.

125.a/3
          Implementation Advice: Directories.Start_Search and
          Directories.Search should raise Name_Error for malformed
          patterns.

126/2
Rename should be supported at least when both New_Name and Old_Name are
simple names and New_Name does not identify an existing external file.

126.a/2
          Implementation Advice: Directories.Rename should be supported
          at least when both New_Name and Old_Name are simple names and
          New_Name does not identify an existing external file.

126.b/2
          Discussion: "Supported" includes raising an exception if
          either name is malformed, the file to rename doesn't exist,
          insufficient permission for the operation exists, or similar
          problems.  But this advice requires implementations to
          document what they do, and tells implementers that simply
          raising Use_Error isn't acceptable.

     NOTES

127/2
     41  The operations Containing_Directory, Full_Name, Simple_Name,
     Base_Name, Extension, and Compose operate on file names, not
     external files.  The files identified by these operations do not
     need to exist.  Name_Error is raised only if the file name is
     malformed and cannot possibly identify a file.  Of these
     operations, only the result of Full_Name depends on the current
     default directory; the result of the others depends only on their
     parameters.

128/2
     42  Using access types, values of Search_Type and
     Directory_Entry_Type can be saved and queried later.  However,
     another task or application can modify or delete the file
     represented by a Directory_Entry_Type value or the directory
     represented by a Search_Type value; such a value can only give the
     information valid at the time it is created.  Therefore, long-term
     storage of these values is not recommended.

129/2
     43  If the target system does not support directories inside of
     directories, then Kind will never return Directory and
     Containing_Directory will always raise Use_Error.

130/2
     44  If the target system does not support creation or deletion of
     directories, then Create_Directory, Create_Path, Delete_Directory,
     and Delete_Tree will always propagate Use_Error.

131/2
     45  To move a file or directory to a different location, use
     Rename.  Most target systems will allow renaming of files from one
     directory to another.  If the target file or directory might
     already exist, it should be deleted first.

131.a/2
          Discussion: While Rename is only guaranteed to work for name
          changes within a single directory, its unlikely that
          implementers would purposely prevent functionality present in
          the underlying system from working.  To move a file totally
          portably, it's necessary to handle failure of the Rename and
          fall back to Copy_File and Delete:

131.b
               begin
                  Rename (Source, Target);
               exception
                  when Use_Error =>
                     Copy_File (Source, Target);
                     Delete (Source);
               end;

                        _Extensions to Ada 95_

131.c/2
          {<AI95-00248-01AI95-00248-01>} Package Ada.Directories is new.

                    _Inconsistencies With Ada 2005_

131.d/3
          {<AI05-0231-1AI05-0231-1>} Correction: Clarified when and
          which exceptions are raised for Start_Search, Search,
          Delete_Directory, and Rename.  If an implementation followed
          the original incorrect wording, it might raise Use_Error
          instead of Name_Error for Start_Search and Search, Name_Error
          instead of Use_Error for Rename, and might have deleted a
          nonempty directory instead of raising Use_Error for
          Delete_Directory.  The first two cases are very unlikely to
          matter in practice, and it unlikely that an implementation
          would have followed the latter implementation strategy, as it
          would be more work and would make Delete_Directory identical
          to Delete_Tree (which is obvious nonsense).

                   _Incompatibilities With Ada 2005_

131.e/3
          {<AI05-0049-1AI05-0049-1>} A new enumeration type
          Name_Case_Kind and a new function Name_Case_Equivalence is
          added to Directories.  If Directories is referenced in a
          use_clause, and an entity <E> with a defining_identifier of
          one of the new entities is defined in a package that is also
          referenced in a use_clause, the entity <E> may no longer be
          use-visible, resulting in errors.  This should be rare and is
          easily fixed if it does occur.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

131.f/3
          {<AI05-0271-1AI05-0271-1>} Correction: We now explicitly say
          that the behavior of Create_Path and Copy_File is unspecified
          when Use_Error is raised.  Nothing has changed here, as the
          behavior was (implicitly) unspecified in the 2007 Amendment.

{<AI05-0049-1AI05-0049-1>} {<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>} In addition to the
operations provided in package Directories.Hierarchical_File_Names, the
operations in package Directories can be used with hierarchical file
names.  In particular, functions Full_Name, Base_Name, and Extension
provide additional capabilities for hierarchical file names.

17/3
     function Is_Simple_Name (Name : in String) return Boolean;

18/3
          Returns True if Name is a simple name, and returns False
          otherwise.

19/3
     function Is_Root_Directory_Name (Name : in String) return Boolean;

20/3
          Returns True if Name is syntactically a root (a directory that
          cannot be decomposed further), and returns False otherwise.

20.a/3
          Implementation Note: For Unix and Unix-like systems, "/" is
          the root.  For Windows, "C:'\'" and "'\''\'Computer'\'Share"
          are roots.

21/3
     function Is_Parent_Directory_Name (Name : in String) return Boolean;

22/3
          Returns True if Name can be used to indicate symbolically the
          parent directory of any directory, and returns False
          otherwise.

22.a/3
          Implementation Note: Is_Parent_Directory_Name returns True if
          and only if Name is ".."  for both Unix and Windows.

23/3
     function Is_Current_Directory_Name (Name : in String) return Boolean;

24/3
          Returns True if Name can be used to indicate symbolically the
          directory itself for any directory, and returns False
          otherwise.

24.a/3
          Implementation Note: Is_Current_Directory_Name returns True if
          and only if Name is "."  for both Unix and Windows.

25/3
     function Is_Full_Name (Name : in String) return Boolean;

26/3
          Returns True if the leftmost directory part of Name is a root,
          and returns False otherwise.

28/3
          {<AI05-0049-1AI05-0049-1>} {<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>} Returns
          True if Name allows the identification of an external file
          (including directories and special files) but is not a full
          name, and returns False otherwise.

28.a/3
          Ramification: Relative names include simple names as a special
          case.  This function returns False if the syntax of the name
          is incorrect.

29/3
     function Initial_Directory (Name : in String) return String;

30/3
          {<AI05-0049-1AI05-0049-1>} {<AI05-0248-1AI05-0248-1>} Returns
          the leftmost directory part in Name.  [That is, it returns a
          root directory name (for a full name), or one of a parent
          directory name, a current directory name, or a simple name
          (for a relative name).]  The exception Name_Error is
          propagated if the string given as Name does not allow the
          identification of an external file (including directories and
          special files).

31/3
     function Relative_Name (Name : in String) return String;

32/3
          Returns the entire file name except the Initial_Directory
          portion.  The exception Name_Error is propagated if the string
          given as Name does not allow the identification of an external
          file (including directories and special files), or if Name has
          a single part (this includes if any of Is_Simple_Name,
          Is_Root_Directory_Name, Is_Parent_Directory_Name, or
          Is_Current_Directory_Name are True).

32.a/3
          Ramification: The result might be a simple name.

33/3

                       Relative_Name  : in String;
                       Extension      : in String := "") return String;

34/3
          Returns the name of the external file with the specified
          Directory, Relative_Name, and Extension.  The exception
          Name_Error is propagated if the string given as Directory is
          not the null string and does not allow the identification of a
          directory, or if Is_Relative_Name (Relative_Name) is False, or
          if the string given as Extension is not the null string and is
          not a possible extension, or if Extension is not the null
          string and Simple_Name (Relative_Name) is not a base name.

35/3
          The result of Compose is a full name if Is_Full_Name
          (Directory) is True; result is a relative name otherwise.

35.a/3
          Ramification: Name_Error is raised by Compose if Directory is
          not the null string, and both Is_Full_Name and
          Is_Relative_Name return False.

35.b/3
          Discussion: A common security problem is to include a parent
          directory name in the middle of a file name; this is often
          used to navigate outside of an intended root directory.  We
          considered attempting to prevent that case by having Compose
          detect it and raise an exception.  But the extra rules
          necessary were more confusing than helpful.

35.c/3
          We can say more about the details of these operations by
          adopting the notation of a subscript to specify how many path
          fragments a particular result has.  Then, we can abbreviate
          "Full Name" as "Full" and "Relative Name" as "Rel".  In this
          notation, Unix file name "a/b" is a Rel(2), "../c/d" is a
          Rel(3), and "/a/b" is a Full(2).  Rel(1) is equivalent to a
          simple name; thus we don't have to describe that separately.

35.d/3
          In this notation,

35.e/3
               For N>1,
               Containing_Directory(Rel(N)) = Leftmost Rel(N-1),
               Containing_Directory(Full(N)) = Leftmost Full(N-1),
               Else if N = 1, raise Name_Error.
  

35.f/3
          Similarly,

35.g/3
               For N>1,
               Relative_Name(Rel(N)) = Rightmost Rel(N-1),
               Relative_Name(Full(N)) = Rightmost Full(N-1),
               Else if N = 1, raise Name_Error.
  

35.h/3
          Finally, for Compose (ignoring the extension here):

35.i/3
               Compose (Directory => Full(N), Relative_Name => Rel(M)) => Full(N+M)
               Compose (Directory => Rel(N), Relative_Name => Rel(M)) => Rel(N+M)
               Name_Error if Relative_Name is a Full(M).
  

35.j/3
          We didn't try to write wording to reflect these details of
          these functions.

                        _Implementation Advice_

36/3
{<AI05-0049-1AI05-0049-1>} Directories.Hierarchical_File_Names should be
provided for systems with hierarchical file naming, and should not be
provided on other systems.

36.a/3
          Implementation Advice: Directories.Hierarchical_File_Names
          should be provided for systems with hierarchical file naming,
          and should not be provided on other systems.

36.b/3
          Implementation Note: This package should be provided when
          targeting Microsoft® Windows®, Unix, Linux, and most Unix-like
          systems.

     NOTES

37/3
     46  {<AI05-0049-1AI05-0049-1>} These operations operate on file
     names, not external files.  The files identified by these
     operations do not need to exist.  Name_Error is raised only as
     specified or if the file name is malformed and cannot possibly
     identify a file.  The result of these operations depends only on
     their parameters.

38/3
     47  {<AI05-0049-1AI05-0049-1>} Containing_Directory raises
     Use_Error if Name does not have a containing directory, including
     when any of Is_Simple_Name, Is_Root_Directory_Name,
     Is_Parent_Directory_Name, or Is_Current_Directory_Name are True.

38.a/3
          Ramification: In particular, the default directory is not used
          to find the containing directory either when
          Is_Parent_Directory_Name or Is_Current_Directory_Name is True.
          As noted above, these functions operate purely on the syntax
          of the file names and do not attempt to interpret them.  If
          interpretation is needed, Directories.Full_Name can be to
          expand any shorthands used before calling
          Containing_Directory.

A.17 The Package Environment_Variables
======================================

1/2
{<AI95-00370-01AI95-00370-01>} The package Environment_Variables allows
a program to read or modify environment variables.  Environment
variables are name-value pairs, where both the name and value are
strings.  The definition of what constitutes an <environment variable>,
and the meaning of the name and value, are implementation defined.

1.a/2
          Implementation defined: The definition and meaning of an
          environment variable.

                          _Static Semantics_

2/2
{<AI95-00370-01AI95-00370-01>} The library package Environment_Variables
has the following declaration:

3/2
     package Ada.Environment_Variables is
        pragma Preelaborate(Environment_Variables);

4/2
        function Value (Name : in String) return String;

4.1/3

5/2
        function Exists (Name : in String) return Boolean;

6/2
        procedure Set (Name : in String; Value : in String);

7/2
        procedure Clear (Name : in String);
        procedure Clear;

8/3

     function Value (Name : in String) return String;

11/2
          {<AI95-00370-01AI95-00370-01>} If the external execution
          environment supports environment variables, then Value returns
          the value of the environment variable with the given name.  If
          no environment variable with the given name exists, then
          Constraint_Error is propagated.  If the execution environment
          does not support environment variables, then Program_Error is
          propagated.

11.1/3
     function Value (Name : in String; Default : in String) return String;

11.2/3
          {<AI05-0285-1AI05-0285-1>} If the external execution
          environment supports environment variables and an environment
          variable with the given name currently exists, then Value
          returns its value; otherwise, it returns Default.

12/2
     function Exists (Name : in String) return Boolean;

13/3
          {<AI95-00370-01AI95-00370-01>} {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} If
          the external execution environment supports environment
          variables and an environment variable with the given name
          currently exists, then Exists returns True; otherwise, it
          returns False.

14/2
     procedure Set (Name : in String; Value : in String);

15/3
          {<AI95-00370-01AI95-00370-01>} {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} If
          the external execution environment supports environment
          variables, then Set first clears any existing environment
          variable with the given name, and then defines a single new
          environment variable with the given name and value.
          Otherwise, Program_Error is propagated.

16/2
          If implementation-defined circumstances prohibit the
          definition of an environment variable with the given name and
          value, then Constraint_Error is propagated.

16.a/2
          Implementation defined: The circumstances where an environment
          variable cannot be defined.

17/2
          It is implementation defined whether there exist values for
          which the call Set(Name, Value) has the same effect as Clear
          (Name).

17.a/2
          Implementation defined: Environment names for which Set has
          the effect of Clear.

18/2
     procedure Clear (Name : in String);

19/3
          {<AI95-00370-01AI95-00370-01>} {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>}
          {<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>} If the external execution
          environment supports environment variables, then Clear deletes
          all existing environment variables with the given name.
          Otherwise, Program_Error is propagated.

20/2
     procedure Clear;

21/3
          {<AI95-00370-01AI95-00370-01>} {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} If
          the external execution environment supports environment
          variables, then Clear deletes all existing environment
          variables.  Otherwise, Program_Error is propagated.

22/3
     {<AI05-0248-1AI05-0248-1>} procedure Iterate
        (Process : not null access procedure (Name, Value : in String));

23/3
          {<AI95-00370-01AI95-00370-01>} {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} If
          the external execution environment supports environment
          variables, then Iterate calls the subprogram designated by
          Process for each existing environment variable, passing the
          name and value of that environment variable.  Otherwise,
          Program_Error is propagated.

24/2
          If several environment variables exist that have the same
          name, Process is called once for each such variable.

                      _Bounded (Run-Time) Errors_

25/2
{<AI95-00370-01AI95-00370-01>} It is a bounded error to call Value if
more than one environment variable exists with the given name; the
possible outcomes are that:

26/2
   * one of the values is returned, and that same value is returned in
     subsequent calls in the absence of changes to the environment; or

27/2
   * Program_Error is propagated.

                         _Erroneous Execution_

28/2
{<AI95-00370-01AI95-00370-01>} Making calls to the procedures Set or
Clear concurrently with calls to any subprogram of package
Environment_Variables, or to any instantiation of Iterate, results in
erroneous execution.

29/2
Making calls to the procedures Set or Clear in the actual subprogram
corresponding to the Process parameter of Iterate results in erroneous
execution.

                     _Documentation Requirements_

30/2
{<AI95-00370-01AI95-00370-01>} An implementation shall document how the
operations of this package behave if environment variables are changed
by external mechanisms (for instance, calling operating system
services).

30.a/2
          Documentation Requirement: The behavior of package
          Environment_Variables when environment variables are changed
          by external mechanisms.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

31/2
{<AI95-00370-01AI95-00370-01>} An implementation running on a system
that does not support environment variables is permitted to define the
operations of package Environment_Variables with the semantics
corresponding to the case where the external execution environment does
support environment variables.  In this case, it shall provide a
mechanism to initialize a nonempty set of environment variables prior to
the execution of a partition.

                        _Implementation Advice_

32/2
{<AI95-00370-01AI95-00370-01>} If the execution environment supports
subprocesses, the currently defined environment variables should be used
to initialize the environment variables of a subprocess.

32.a/2
          Implementation Advice: If the execution environment supports
          subprocesses, the current environment variables should be used
          to initialize the environment variables of a subprocess.

33/2
Changes to the environment variables made outside the control of this
package should be reflected immediately in the effect of the operations
of this package.  Changes to the environment variables made using this
package should be reflected immediately in the external execution
environment.  This package should not perform any buffering of the
environment variables.

33.a/2
          Implementation Advice: Changes to the environment variables
          made outside the control of Environment_Variables should be
          reflected immediately.

                        _Extensions to Ada 95_

33.b/2
          {<AI95-00370-01AI95-00370-01>} Package Environment_Variables
          is new.

                   _Incompatibilities With Ada 2005_

33.c/3
          {<AI05-0285-1AI05-0285-1>} A new overloaded function Value is
          added to Environment_Variables.  If Environment_Variables is
          referenced in a use_clause, and an entity <E> with the name
          Value is defined in a package that is also referenced in a
          use_clause, the entity <E> may no longer be use-visible,
          resulting in errors.  This should be rare and is easily fixed
          if it does occur.

A.18 Containers
===============

1/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} This clause presents the specifications
of the package Containers and several child packages, which provide
facilities for storing collections of elements.

1.a.1/3
          Glossary entry: A container is an object that contain other
          objects all of the same type, which could be class-wide.
          Several predefined container types are provided by the
          children of package Ada.Containers (see *note A.18.1::).

2/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} A variety of sequence and associative
containers are provided.  Each container includes a <cursor> type.  A
cursor is a reference to an element within a container.  Many operations
on cursors are common to all of the containers.  A cursor referencing an
element in a container is considered to be overlapping with the
container object itself.  

2.a/2
          Reason: The last sentence is intended to clarify that
          operations that just use a cursor are on the same footing as
          operations that use a container in terms of the reentrancy
          rules of Annex A.

3/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} Within this clause we provide
Implementation Advice for the desired average or worst case time
complexity of certain operations on a container.  This advice is
expressed using the Landau symbol <O>(X). Presuming f is some function
of a length parameter N and t(N) is the time the operation takes (on
average or worst case, as specified) for the length N, a complexity of
<O>(f(N)) means that there exists a finite A such that for any N,
t(N)/f(N) < A. 

3.a/2
          Discussion: Of course, an implementation can do better than a
          specified <O>(f(N)): for example, <O>(1) meets the
          requirements for <O>(log N).

3.b/2
          This concept seems to have as many names as there are authors.
          We used "Landau symbol" because that's what our reference
          does.  But we'd also seen this referred as big-O notation
          (sometimes written as <big-oh>), and as Bachmann notation.
          Whatever the name, it always has the above definition.

4/2
If the advice suggests that the complexity should be less than
<O>(f(N)), then for any arbitrarily small positive real D, there should
exist a positive integer M such that for all N > M, t(N)/f(N) < D.

5/3
{<AI05-0001-1AI05-0001-1>} {<AI05-0044-1AI05-0044-1>} When a formal
function is used to provide an ordering for a container, it is generally
required to define a strict weak ordering.  A function "<" defines a
<strict weak ordering> if it is irreflexive, asymmetric, transitive, and
in addition, if <x> < <y> for any values <x> and <y>, then for all other
values <z>, (<x> < <z>) or (<z> < <y>).

                     _Language Design Principles_

5.a/3
          {<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} This
          subclause provides a number of useful containers for Ada.
          Only the most useful containers are provided.  Ones that are
          relatively easy to code, redundant, or rarely used are omitted
          from this set, even if they are generally included in
          containers libraries.

5.b/2
          The containers packages are modeled on the Standard Template
          Library (STL), an algorithms and data structure library
          popularized by Alexander Stepanov, and included in the C++
          standard library.  The structure and terminology differ from
          the STL where that better maps to common Ada usage.  For
          instance, what the STL calls "iterators" are called "cursors"
          here.

5.c/2
          The following major nonlimited containers are provided:

5.d/2
             * (Expandable) Vectors of any nonlimited type;

5.e/2
             * Doubly-linked Lists of any nonlimited type;

5.f/2
             * Hashed Maps keyed by any nonlimited hashable type, and
               containing any nonlimited type;

5.g/2
             * Ordered Maps keyed by any nonlimited ordered type, and
               containing any nonlimited type;

5.h/3
             * {<AI05-0136-1AI05-0136-1>} Hashed Sets of any nonlimited
               hashable type;

5.i/3
             * {<AI05-0136-1AI05-0136-1>} Ordered Sets of any nonlimited
               ordered type;

5.i.1/3
             * {<AI05-0136-1AI05-0136-1>} Multiway Trees of any
               nonlimited type;

5.i.2/3
             * {<AI05-0069-1AI05-0069-1>} Holders of any (indefinite)
               nonlimited type;

5.i.3/3
             * {<AI05-0159-1AI05-0159-1>} Synchronized queues of any
               definite nonlimited type; and

5.i.4/3
             * {<AI05-0159-1AI05-0159-1>} Priority queues of any
               definite nonlimited type.

5.j/3
          {<AI05-0001-1AI05-0001-1>} Separate versions for definite and
          indefinite element types are provided, as those for definite
          types can be implemented more efficiently.  Similarly, a
          separate bounded version is provided in order to give more
          predictable memory usage.

5.k/2
          Each container includes a cursor, which is a reference to an
          element within a container.  Cursors generally remain valid as
          long as the container exists and the element referenced is not
          deleted.  Many operations on cursors are common to all of the
          containers.  This makes it possible to write generic
          algorithms that work on any kind of container.

5.l/2
          The containers packages are structured so that additional
          packages can be added in the future.  Indeed, we hope that
          these packages provide the basis for a more extensive
          secondary standard for containers.

5.m/2
          If containers with similar functionality (but different
          performance characteristics) are provided (by the
          implementation or by a secondary standard), we suggest that a
          prefix be used to identify the class of the functionality:
          "Ada.Containers.Bounded_Sets" (for a set with a maximum number
          of elements); "Ada.Containers.Protected_Maps" (for a map which
          can be accessed by multiple tasks at one time);
          "Ada.Containers.Persistent_Vectors" (for a persistent vector
          which continues to exist between executions of a program) and
          so on.

5.n/2
          Note that the language already includes several requirements
          that are important to the use of containers.  These include:

5.o/2
             * Library packages must be reentrant - multiple tasks can
               use the packages as long as they operate on separate
               containers.  Thus, it is only necessary for a user to
               protect a container if a single container needs to be
               used by multiple tasks.

5.p/2
             * Language-defined types must stream "properly".  That
               means that the stream attributes can be used to implement
               persistence of containers when necessary, and containers
               can be passed between partitions of a program.

5.q/2
             * Equality of language-defined types must compose
               "properly".  This means that the version of "=" directly
               used by users is the same one that will be used in
               generics and in predefined equality operators of types
               with components of the containers and/or cursors.  This
               prevents the abstraction from breaking unexpectedly.

5.q.1/3
             * {<AI05-0048-1AI05-0048-1>} Redispatching is not allowed
               (unless it is required).  That means that overriding a
               container operation will not change the behavior of any
               other predefined container operation.  This provides a
               stable base for extensions.

5.r/2
          If a container's element type is controlled, the point at
          which the element is finalized will depend on the
          implementation of the container.  We do not specify precisely
          where this will happen (it will happen no later than the
          finalization of the container, of course) in order to give
          implementation's flexibility to cache, block, or split the
          nodes of the container.  In particular, Delete does not
          necessarily finalize the element; the implementation may (or
          may not) hold the space for reuse.

5.s/2
          This is not likely to be a hardship, as the element type has
          to be nonlimited.  Types used to manage scarce resources
          generally need to be limited.  Otherwise, the amount of
          resources needed is hard to control, as the language allows a
          lot of variation in the number or order of
          adjusts/finalizations.  For common uses of nonlimited
          controlled types such as managing storage, the types already
          have to manage arbitrary copies.

5.t/2
          The use of controlled types also brings up the possibility of
          failure of finalization (and thus deallocation) of an element.
          This is a "serious bug", as AI95-179 puts it, so we don't try
          to specify what happens in that case.  The implementation
          should propagate the exception.

5.u/2
          Implementation Note: It is expected that exceptions propagated
          from these operations do not damage containers.  That is, if
          Storage_Error is propagated because of an allocation failure,
          or Constraint_Error is propagated by the assignment of
          elements, the container can continue to be used without
          further exceptions.  The intent is that it should be possible
          to recover from errors without losing data.  We don't try to
          state this formally in most cases, because it is hard to
          define precisely what is and is not allowed behavior.

5.v/2
          Implementation Note: When this clause says that the behavior
          of something is unspecified, we really mean that any result of
          executing Ada code short of erroneous execution is allowed.
          We do not mean that memory not belonging to the parameters of
          the operation can be trashed.  When we mean to allow erroneous
          behavior, we specifically say that execution is erroneous.
          All this means if the containers are written in Ada is that
          checks should not be suppressed or removed assuming some
          behavior of other code, and that the implementation should
          take care to avoid creating internal dangling accesses by
          assuming behavior from generic formals that can't be
          guaranteed.  We don't try to say this normatively because it
          would be fairly complex, and implementers are unlikely to
          increase their support costs by fielding implementations that
          are unstable if given buggy hash functions, et al.

                          _Static Semantics_

6/4
{<AI12-0035-1AI12-0035-1>} Certain subprograms declared within instances
of some of the generic packages presented in this clause are said to
<perform indefinite insertion>.  These subprograms are those
corresponding (in the sense of the copying described in subclause *note
12.3::) to subprograms that have formal parameters of a generic formal
indefinite type and that are identified as performing indefinite
insertion in the subclause defining the generic package.

7/4
{<AI12-0035-1AI12-0035-1>} If a subprogram performs indefinite
insertion, then certain run-time checks are performed as part of a call
to the subprogram; if any of these checks fail, then the resulting
exception is propagated to the caller and the container is not modified
by the call.  These checks are performed for each parameter
corresponding (in the sense of the copying described in *note 12.3::) to
a parameter in the corresponding generic whose type is a generic formal
indefinite type.  The checks performed for a given parameter are those
checks explicitly specified in subclause *note 4.8:: that would be
performed as part of the evaluation of an initialized allocator whose
access type is declared immediately within the instance, where:

8/4
   * the value of the qualified_expression is that of the parameter; and

9/4
   * the designated subtype of the access type is the subtype of the
     parameter; and

10/4
   * finalization of the collection of the access type has started if
     and only if the finalization of the instance has started.

10.a/4
          Discussion: The phrase "explicitly specified" means those
          checks for which subclause *note 4.8:: includes the phrase
          "<some exception> is raised if ...".  It does not refer, for
          example, to any checks performed as part of any subtype
          conversion.  In particular, this wording includes the checks
          described in subclause *note 4.8:: to be performed in the case
          of a class-wide designated type, and of a designated subtype
          that has access discriminant parts.  These checks are needed
          to prevent containers from outliving their contained
          (Element_Type or Key_Type) values.

10.b/4
          Implementation Note: These rules have a dual purpose.  Mainly,
          we are <requiring> checks needed to prevent dangling
          references.  As a side effect, we are also <allowing> checks
          needed to permit an implementation of a container generic to
          make use of access types in a straightforward way.  As an
          example of the second purpose, suppose that an implementation
          does declare such an access type and suppose further that the
          finalization of the collection of the access type has started.
          These rules allow Program_Error to be propagated in this case
          (as specified in *note 4.8::); this is necessary to allow an
          all-Ada implementation of these packages.

8/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} Hash_Type'Modulus should be at least

          be declared properly on machines with native sizes that are
          not 32 bits.  For instance, a 24-bit target could use 2**24

A.18.2 The Generic Package Containers.Vectors
---------------------------------------------

1/2
The language-defined generic package Containers.Vectors provides private
types Vector and Cursor, and a set of operations for each type.  A
vector container allows insertion and deletion at any position, but it
is specifically optimized for insertion and deletion at the high end
(the end with the higher index) of the container.  A vector container
also provides random access to its elements.  

2/2
A vector container behaves conceptually as an array that expands as
necessary as items are inserted.  The <length> of a vector is the number
of elements that the vector contains.  The <capacity> of a vector is the
maximum number of elements that can be inserted into the vector prior to
it being automatically expanded.

3/2
Elements in a vector container can be referred to by an index value of a
generic formal type.  The first element of a vector always has its index
value equal to the lower bound of the formal type.

4/2
A vector container may contain <empty elements>.  Empty elements do not
have a specified value.

4.a/2
          Implementation Note: Vectors are not intended to be sparse
          (that is, there are elements at all defined positions).  Users
          are expected to use other containers (like a Map) when they
          need sparse structures (there is a Note to this effect at the
          end of this subclause).

4.b/2
          The internal array is a conceptual model of a vector.  There
          is no requirement for an implementation to be a single
          contiguous array.

{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} The actual function for the generic
formal function "=" on Element_Type values is expected to define a
reflexive and symmetric relationship and return the same result value
each time it is called with a particular pair of values.  If it behaves
in some other manner, the functions defined to use it return an
unspecified value.  The exact arguments and number of calls of this
generic formal function by the functions defined to use it are
unspecified.

83.a/2
          Ramification: The "functions defined to use it" are Find,
          Find_Index, Reverse_Find, Reverse_Find_Index, and "=" for
          Vectors.  This list is a bit too long to give explicitly.

83.b/2
          If the actual function for "=" is not symmetric and
          consistent, the result returned by any of the functions
          defined to use "=" cannot be predicted.  The implementation is
          not required to protect against "=" raising an exception, or
          returning random results, or any other "bad" behavior.  And it
          can call "=" in whatever manner makes sense.  But note that
          only the results of the functions defined to use "=" are
          unspecified; other subprograms are not allowed to break if "="
          is bad.

84/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} The type Vector is used to represent
vectors.  The type Vector needs finalization (see *note 7.6::).

85/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} Empty_Vector represents the empty vector
object.  It has a length of 0.  If an object of type Vector is not
otherwise initialized, it is initialized to the same value as
Empty_Vector.

86/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} No_Element represents a cursor that
designates no element.  If an object of type Cursor is not otherwise
initialized, it is initialized to the same value as No_Element.

87/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} The predefined "=" operator for type
Cursor returns True if both cursors are No_Element, or designate the

88/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} Execution of the default implementation
of the Input, Output, Read, or Write attribute of type Cursor raises
Program_Error.

88.a/2
          Reason: A cursor will probably be implemented in terms of one
          or more access values, and the effects of streaming access
          values is unspecified.  Rather than letting the user stream
          junk by accident, we mandate that streaming of cursors raise
          Program_Error by default.  The attributes can always be
          specified if there is a need to support streaming.

88.1/3
{<AI05-0001-1AI05-0001-1>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} Vector'Write for a
Vector object <V> writes Length(<V>) elements of the vector to the
stream.  It also may write additional information about the vector.

88.2/3
{<AI05-0001-1AI05-0001-1>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} Vector'Read reads
the representation of a vector from the stream, and assigns to <Item> a
vector with the same length and elements as was written by Vector'Write.

88.b/3
          Implementation Note: The Standard requires streaming of all
          language-defined nonlimited types (including containers) to
          "work" (see *note 13.13.2::).  In addition, we do not want all
          of the elements that make up the capacity of the vector
          streamed, as those beyond the length of the container have
          undefined contents (and might cause bad things when read back
          in).  This will require a custom stream attribute
          implementation; the language-defined default implementation
          will not work (even for a bounded form, as that would most
          likely stream the entire capacity of the vector).  There is a
          separate requirement that the unbounded and Bounded form use
          the same streaming representation for the same element type,
          see *note A.18.19::.

89/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} No_Index represents a position that does
not correspond to any element.  The subtype Extended_Index includes the
indices covered by Index_Type plus the value No_Index and, if it exists,
the successor to the Index_Type'Last.

89.a/2
          Discussion: We require the existence of Index_Type'First - 1,
          so that No_Index and Last_Index of an empty vector is
          well-defined.  We don't require the existence of
          Index_Type'Last + 1, as it is only used as the position of
          insertions (and needs to be allowed only when inserting an
          empty vector).

89.1/3
{<AI05-0001-1AI05-0001-1>} If an operation attempts to modify the vector
such that the position of the last element would be greater than
Index_Type'Last, then the operation propagates Constraint_Error.

89.b/3
          Reason: We don't want to require an implementation to go to
          heroic efforts to handle index values larger than the base
          type of the index subtype.

{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} [Some operations of this generic package
have access-to-subprogram parameters.  To ensure such operations are
well-defined, they guard against certain actions by the designated
subprogram.  In particular, some operations check for "tampering with
cursors" of a container because they depend on the set of elements of
the container remaining constant, and others check for "tampering with
elements" of a container because they depend on elements of the
container not being replaced.]

91/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} A subprogram is said to <tamper with
cursors> of a vector object <V> if:

92/2

     Insert, Insert_Space, Clear, Delete, or Set_Length procedures with
     <V> as a parameter; or

92.a/2
          To be honest: Operations which are defined to be equivalent to
          a call on one of these operations also are included.
          Similarly, operations which call one of these as part of their
          definition are included.

93.a.1/3
          Ramification: We don't need to explicitly mention
          assignment_statement, because that finalizes the target object
          as part of the operation, and finalization of an object is
          already defined as tampering with cursors.

94/2
   * it calls the Move procedure with <V> as a parameter.

{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} A subprogram is said to <tamper with
elements> of a vector object <V> if:

96/2
   * it tampers with cursors of <V>; or

97/2
   * it replaces one or more elements of <V>, that is, it calls the
     Replace_Element, Reverse_Elements, or Swap procedures or the Sort
     or Merge procedures of an instance of Generic_Sorting with <V> as a
     parameter.

97.a/2
          Reason: Complete replacement of an element can cause its
          memory to be deallocated while another operation is holding
          onto a reference to it.  That can't be allowed.  However, a
          simple modification of (part of) an element is not a problem,
          so Update_Element does not cause a problem.

{<AI05-0265-1AI05-0265-1>} {<AI12-0110-1AI12-0110-1>} When tampering
with cursors is <prohibited> for a particular vector object <V>,
Program_Error is propagated by a call of any language-defined subprogram
that is defined to tamper with the cursors of <V>, leaving <V>
unmodified.  Similarly, when tampering with elements is <prohibited> for
a particular vector object <V>, Program_Error is propagated by a call of
any language-defined subprogram that is defined to tamper with the
elements of <V> [(or tamper with the cursors of <V>)], leaving <V>
unmodified.  These checks are made before any other defined behavior of
the body of the language-defined subprogram.

97.b/3
          Proof: Tampering with elements includes tampering with

     function Has_Element (Position : Cursor) return Boolean;

97.3/3
          {<AI05-0212-1AI05-0212-1>} Returns True if Position designates
          an element, and returns False otherwise.

97.c/3
          To be honest: {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>}
          {<AI05-0212-1AI05-0212-1>} This function might not detect
          cursors that designate deleted elements; such cursors are
          invalid (see below) and the result of calling Has_Element with
          an invalid cursor is unspecified (but not erroneous).

     function "=" (Left, Right : Vector) return Boolean;

99/3
          {<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} If
          Left and Right denote the same vector object, then the
          function returns True.  If Left and Right have different
          lengths, then the function returns False.  Otherwise, it
          compares each element in Left to the corresponding element in
          Right using the generic formal equality operator.  If any such
          comparison returns False, the function returns False;
          otherwise, it returns True.  Any exception raised during
          evaluation of element equality is propagated.

99.a/2
          Implementation Note: This wording describes the canonical
          semantics.  However, the order and number of calls on the
          formal equality function is unspecified for all of the
          operations that use it in this package, so an implementation
          can call it as many or as few times as it needs to get the
          correct answer.  Specifically, there is no requirement to call
          the formal equality additional times once the answer has been
          determined.

          {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} If the capacity of Container is
          already greater than or equal to Capacity, then
          Reserve_Capacity has no effect.  Otherwise, Reserve_Capacity
          allocates additional storage as necessary to ensure that the
          length of the resulting vector can become at least the value
          Capacity without requiring an additional call to
          Reserve_Capacity, and is large enough to hold the current
          length of Container.  Reserve_Capacity then, as necessary,
          moves elements into the new storage and deallocates any
          storage no longer needed.  Any exception raised during
          allocation is propagated and Container is not modified.

115.a/2
          Discussion: Expanding the internal array can be done by
          allocating a new, longer array, copying the elements, and
          deallocating the original array.  This may raise
          Storage_Error, or cause an exception from a controlled
          subprogram.  We require that a failed Reserve_Capacity does
          not lose any elements if an exception occurs, but we do not
          require a specific order of evaluations or copying.

115.b/2
          This routine is used to preallocate the internal array to the
          specified capacity such that future Inserts do not require
          memory allocation overhead.  Therefore, the implementation
          should allocate the needed memory to make that true at this
          point, even though the visible semantics could be preserved by
          waiting until the memory is needed.  This doesn't apply to the
          indefinite element container, because elements will have to be
          allocated individually.

115.c/2
          The implementation does not have to contract the internal
          array if the capacity is reduced, as any capacity greater than
          or equal to the specified capacity is allowed.

116/2
     function Length (Container : Vector) return Count_Type;

117/2
          {<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} Returns the number of elements
          in Container.

          {<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} If
          Length is larger than the capacity of Container, Set_Length
          calls Reserve_Capacity (Container, Length), then sets the
          length of the Container to Length.  If Length is greater than
          the original length of Container, empty elements are added to
          Container; otherwise, elements are removed from Container.

119.a/2
          Ramification: No elements are moved by this operation; any new
          empty elements are added at the end.  This follows from the
          rules that a cursor continues to designate the same element
          unless the routine is defined to make the cursor ambiguous or
          invalid; this operation does not do that.

          First_Index (Container) ..  Last_Index (Container), then
          No_Element is returned.  Otherwise, a cursor designating the
          element at position Index in Container is returned.

127/2
          {<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} If Position is No_Element,
          No_Index is returned.  Otherwise, the index (within its
          containing vector) of the element designated by Position is
          returned.

127.a/2
          Ramification: This implies that the index is determinable from
          a bare cursor alone.  The basic model is that a vector cursor
          is implemented as a record containing an access to the vector
          container and an index value.  This does constrain
          implementations, but it also allows all of the cursor
          operations to be defined in terms of the corresponding index
          operation (which should be primary for a vector).

          returns the element designated by Position.

          Otherwise, Replace_Element assigns the value New_Item to the

          Index is not in the range First_Index (Container) ..
          Last_Index (Container), then Constraint_Error is propagated.
          Otherwise, Query_Element calls Process.all with the element at

          of Container is prohibited during the execution of the call on
          Process.all.  Any exception raised by Process.all is
          propagated.

137.a/2
          Reason: {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} The "tamper with the
          elements" check is intended to prevent the Element parameter
          of Process from being replaced or deleted outside of Process.
          The check prevents data loss (if Element_Type is passed by
          copy) or erroneous execution (if Element_Type is an
          unconstrained type in an indefinite container).

          calls Process.all with the element designated by Position as
          the argument.  Tampering with the elements of the vector that

          Otherwise, Update_Element calls Process.all with the element

          If Element_Type is unconstrained and definite, then the actual

142.a/2
          Ramification: This means that the elements cannot be directly
          allocated from the heap; it must be possible to change the
          discriminants of the element in place.

143/2
          The element at position Index is not an empty element after
          successful completion of this operation.

143.a/2
          Ramification: Since reading an empty element is a bounded
          error, attempting to use this procedure to replace empty
          elements may fail.  Use Replace_Element to do that reliably.

147.a/3
          Reason: It is expected that Reference_Type (and
          Constant_Reference_Type) will be a controlled type, for which
          finalization will have some action to terminate the tampering
          check for the associated container.  If the object is created
          by default, however, there is no associated container.  Since
          this is useless, and supporting this case would take extra
          work, we define it to raise an exception.

          {<AI05-0212-1AI05-0212-1>} {<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>} This
          function (combined with the Variable_Indexing and
          Implicit_Dereference aspects) provides a convenient way to
          gain read and write access to an individual element of a
          vector given a cursor.

          {<AI05-0212-1AI05-0212-1>} {<AI05-0265-1AI05-0265-1>} If
          Position equals No_Element, then Constraint_Error is
          propagated; if Position does not designate an element in
          Container, then Program_Error is propagated.  Otherwise,
          Reference returns an object whose discriminant is an access
          value that designates the element designated by Position.
          Tampering with the elements of Container is prohibited while
          the object returned by Reference exists and has not been
          finalized.

          The element designated by Position is not an empty element

          {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} If Target denotes the same object
          as Source, the operation has no effect.  If the length of
          Source is greater than the capacity of Target,
          Reserve_Capacity (Target, Length (Source)) is called.  The
          elements of Source are then copied to Target as for an
          assignment_statement assigning Source to Target (this includes
          setting the length of Target to be that of Source).

147.b/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} This routine exists for
          compatibility with the bounded vector container.  For an
          unbounded vector, Assign(A, B) and A := B behave identically.
          For a bounded vector, := will raise an exception if the
          container capacities are different, while Assign will not
          raise an exception if there is enough room in the target.

147.22/3
          {<AI05-0001-1AI05-0001-1>} Returns a vector whose elements are
          initialized from the corresponding elements of Source.  If
          Capacity is 0, then the vector capacity is the length of
          Source; if Capacity is equal to or greater than the length of
          Source, the vector capacity is at least the specified value.
          Otherwise, the operation propagates Capacity_Error.

          {<AI05-0248-1AI05-0248-1>} If Target denotes the same object
          as Source, then the operation has no effect.  Otherwise, Move
          first calls Reserve_Capacity (Target, Length (Source)) and
          then Clear (Target); then, each element from Source is removed
          from Source and inserted into Target in the original order.
          The length of Source is 0 after a successful call to Move.

149.a/2
          Discussion: The idea is that the internal array is removed
          from Source and moved to Target.  (See the Implementation
          Advice for Move).  If Capacity (Target) /= 0, the previous
          internal array may need to be deallocated.  We don't mention
          this explicitly, because it is covered by the "no memory loss"
          Implementation Requirement.

          {<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} If
          Before is not in the range First_Index (Container) ..
          Last_Index (Container) + 1, then Constraint_Error is
          propagated.  If Length(New_Item) is 0, then Insert does
          nothing.  Otherwise, it computes the new length <NL> as the
          sum of the current length and Length (New_Item); if the value
          of Last appropriate for length <NL> would be greater than
          Index_Type'Last, then Constraint_Error is propagated.

152/2
          If the current vector capacity is less than <NL>,
          Reserve_Capacity (Container, <NL>) is called to increase the
          vector capacity.  Then Insert slides the elements in the range
          Before ..  Last_Index (Container) up by Length(New_Item)
          positions, and then copies the elements of New_Item to the
          positions starting at Before.  Any exception raised during the
          copying is propagated.

152.a/2
          Ramification: Moving the elements does not necessarily involve
          copying.  Similarly, since Reserve_Capacity does not require
          the copying of elements, it does not need to be explicitly
          called (the implementation can combine the operations if it
          wishes to).

          Before is not No_Element, and does not designate an element in
          Container, then Program_Error is propagated.  Otherwise, if
          Length(New_Item) is 0, then Insert does nothing.  If Before is
          No_Element, then the call is equivalent to Insert (Container,
          Last_Index (Container) + 1, New_Item); otherwise, the call is
          equivalent to Insert (Container, To_Index (Before), New_Item);

154.a/2
          Ramification: The check on Before checks that the cursor does
          not belong to some other Container.  This check implies that a
          reference to the container is included in the cursor value.
          This wording is not meant to require detection of dangling
          cursors; such cursors are defined to be invalid, which means
          that execution is erroneous, and any result is allowed
          (including not raising an exception).

          called, and then Position is set to To_Cursor (Container,
          <T>).

156.a/2
          Discussion: The messy wording is needed because Before is
          invalidated by Insert, and we don't want Position to be
          invalid after this call.  An implementation probably only
          needs to copy Before to Position.

          Process.all.  Any exception raised by Process.all is
          propagated.

228.a/2
          Discussion: The purpose of the "tamper with the cursors" check
          is to prevent erroneous execution from the Position parameter
          of Process.all becoming invalid.  This check takes place when
          the operations that tamper with the cursors of the container
          are called.  The check cannot be made later (say in the body
          of Iterate), because that could cause the Position cursor to
          be invalid and potentially cause execution to become erroneous
          -- defeating the purpose of the check.

228.b/2
          There is no check needed if an attempt is made to insert or
          delete nothing (that is, Count = 0 or Length(Item) = 0).

228.c/2
          The check is easy to implement: each container needs a
          counter.  The counter is incremented when Iterate is called,
          and decremented when Iterate completes.  If the counter is
          nonzero when an operation that inserts or deletes is called,
          Finalize is called, or one of the other operations in the list
          occurs, Program_Error is raised.

230.a/3
          Discussion: Exits are allowed from the loops created using the
          iterator objects.  In particular, to stop the iteration at a

230.b/3
               exit when Cur = Stop;

{<AI05-0044-1AI05-0044-1>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} The actual
function for the generic formal function "<" of Generic_Sorting is
expected to return the same value each time it is called with a
particular pair of element values.  It should define a strict weak
ordering relationship (see *note A.18::); it should not modify
Container.  If the actual for "<" behaves in some other manner, the
behavior of the subprograms of Generic_Sorting are unspecified.  The
number of times the subprograms of Generic_Sorting call "<" is
unspecified.

233/2
          {<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} Returns True if the elements
          are sorted smallest first as determined by the generic formal
          "<" operator; otherwise, Is_Sorted returns False.  Any

          Container such that the elements are sorted smallest first as
          determined by the generic formal "<" operator provided.  Any
          exception raised during evaluation of "<" is propagated.

235.a/2
          Ramification: This implies swapping the elements, usually
          including an intermediate copy.  This means that the elements
          will usually be copied.  (As with Swap, if the implementation
          can do this some other way, it is allowed to.)  Since the
          elements are nonlimited, this usually will not be a problem.
          Note that there is Implementation Advice below that the
          implementation should use a sort that minimizes copying of
          elements.

235.b/2
          The sort is not required to be stable (and the fast algorithm
          required will not be stable).  If a stable sort is needed, the
          user can include the original location of the element as an
          extra "sort key".  We considered requiring the implementation
          to do that, but it is mostly extra overhead -- usually there
          is something already in the element that provides the needed
          stability.

          Source is empty, then Merge does nothing.  If Source and
          Target are the same nonempty container object, then
          Program_Error is propagated.  Otherwise, Merge removes
          elements from Source and inserts them into Target; afterwards,
          Target contains the union of the elements that were initially
          in Source and Target; Source is left empty.  If Target and
          Source are initially sorted smallest first, then Target is
          ordered smallest first as determined by the generic formal "<"
          operator; otherwise, the order of elements in Target is
          unspecified.  Any exception raised during evaluation of "<" is
          propagated.

237.a/2
          Discussion: It is a bounded error if either of the vectors is
          unsorted, see below.  The bounded error can be recovered by
          sorting Target after the merge call, or the vectors can be
          pretested with Is_Sorted.

237.b/2
          Implementation Note: The Merge operation will usually require
          copying almost all of the elements.  One implementation
          strategy would be to extend Target to the appropriate length,
          then copying elements from the back of the vectors working
          towards the front.  An alternative approach would be to
          allocate a new internal data array of the appropriate length,
          copy the elements into it in an appropriate order, and then
          replacing the data array in Target with the temporary.

238/3
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} {<AI05-0212-1AI05-0212-1>} Reading the
value of an empty element by calling Element, Query_Element,
Update_Element, Constant_Reference, Reference, Swap, Is_Sorted, Sort,
Merge, "=", Find, or Reverse_Find is a bounded error.  The
implementation may treat the element as having any normal value (see
*note 13.9.1::) of the element type, or raise Constraint_Error or
Program_Error before modifying the vector.

238.a/2
          Ramification: For instance, a default initialized element
          could be returned.  Or some previous value of an element.  But
          returning random junk is not allowed if the type has default
          initial value(s).

238.b/2
          Assignment and streaming of empty elements are not bounded
          errors.  This is consistent with regular composite types, for
          which assignment and streaming of uninitialized components do
          not cause a bounded error, but reading the uninitialized
          component does cause a bounded error.

238.c/2
          There are other operations which are defined in terms of the
          operations listed above.

239/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} Calling Merge in an instance of
Generic_Sorting with either Source or Target not ordered smallest first
using the provided generic formal "<" operator is a bounded error.
Either Program_Error is raised after Target is updated as described for
Merge, or the operation works as defined.

239.1/3
{<AI05-0022-1AI05-0022-1>} {<AI05-0248-1AI05-0248-1>} It is a bounded
error for the actual function associated with a generic formal
subprogram, when called as part of an operation of this package, to
tamper with elements of any Vector parameter of the operation.  Either
Program_Error is raised, or the operation works as defined on the value
of the Vector either prior to, or subsequent to, some or all of the
modifications to the Vector.

239.2/3
{<AI05-0027-1AI05-0027-1>} It is a bounded error to call any subprogram
declared in the visible part of Containers.Vectors when the associated
container has been finalized.  If the operation takes Container as an in
out parameter, then it raises Constraint_Error or Program_Error.
Otherwise, the operation either proceeds as it would for an empty
container, or it raises Constraint_Error or Program_Error.

240/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} A Cursor value is <ambiguous> if any of
the following have occurred since it was created:

241/2
   * Insert, Insert_Space, or Delete has been called on the vector that
     contains the element the cursor designates with an index value (or
     a cursor designating an element at such an index value) less than
     or equal to the index value of the element designated by the
     cursor; or

242/2
   * The vector that contains the element it designates has been passed
     to the Sort or Merge procedures of an instance of Generic_Sorting,
     or to the Reverse_Elements procedure.

243/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} It is a bounded error to call any
subprogram other than "=" or Has_Element declared in Containers.Vectors
with an ambiguous (but not invalid, see below) cursor parameter.
Possible results are:

244/2
   * The cursor may be treated as if it were No_Element;

245/2
   * The cursor may designate some element in the vector (but not
     necessarily the element that it originally designated);

246/2
   * Constraint_Error may be raised; or

247/2
   * Program_Error may be raised.

247.a/2
          Reason: Cursors are made ambiguous if an Insert or Delete
          occurs that moves the elements in the internal array including
          the designated ones.  After such an operation, the cursor
          probably still designates an element (although it might not
          after a deletion), but it is a <different> element.  That
          violates the definition of cursor -- it designates a
          particular element.

247.b/2
          For "=" or Has_Element, the cursor works normally (it would
          not be No_Element).  We don't want to trigger an exception
          simply for comparing a bad cursor.

247.c/2
          While it is possible to check for these cases or ensure that
          cursors survive such operations, in many cases the overhead
          necessary to make the check (or ensure cursors continue to
          designate the same element) is substantial in time or space.

          Ramification: {<AI05-0160-1AI05-0160-1>} An element can be
          removed via calls to Set_Length, Clear, and Merge; and
          indirectly via calls to Assign and Move.

252/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} The result of "=" or Has_Element is
unspecified if it is called with an invalid cursor parameter.  Execution
is erroneous if any other subprogram declared in Containers.Vectors is
called with an invalid cursor parameter.

252.a/2
          Discussion: The list above (combined with the bounded error
          cases) is intended to be exhaustive.  In other cases, a cursor
          value continues to designate its original element.  For
          instance, cursor values survive the appending of new elements.

252.1/3
{<AI05-0212-1AI05-0212-1>} Execution is erroneous if the vector
associated with the result of a call to Reference or Constant_Reference
is finalized before the result object returned by the call to Reference
or Constant_Reference is finalized.

252.b/3
          Reason: Each object of Reference_Type and
          Constant_Reference_Type probably contains some reference to
          the originating container.  If that container is prematurely
          finalized (which is only possible via Unchecked_Deallocation,
          as accessibility checks prevent passing a container to
          Reference that will not live as long as the result), the
          finalization of the object of Reference_Type will try to
          access a nonexistent object.  This is a normal case of a
          dangling pointer created by Unchecked_Deallocation; we have to
          explicitly mention it here as the pointer in question is not
          visible in the specification of the type.  (This is the same
          reason we have to say this for invalid cursors.)

                     _Implementation Requirements_

253/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} No storage associated with a vector
object shall be lost upon assignment or scope exit.

254/3
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} The execution
of an assignment_statement for a vector shall have the effect of copying
the elements from the source vector object to the target vector object
and changing the length of the target object to that of the source
object.

254.a/3
          Implementation Note: {<AI05-0298-1AI05-0298-1>} An assignment
          of a Vector is a "deep" copy; that is the elements are copied
          as well as the data structures.  We say "effect of" in order
          to allow the implementation to avoid copying elements
          immediately if it wishes.  For instance, an implementation
          that avoided copying until one of the containers is modified
          would be allowed.  (Note that such an implementation would be
          require care, as Query_Element and Constant_Reference both
          could be used to access an element which later needs to be
          reallocated while the parameter or reference still exists,
          potentially leaving the parameter or reference pointing at the
          wrong element.)

                        _Implementation Advice_

255/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} Containers.Vectors should be implemented
similarly to an array.  In particular, if the length of a vector is <N>,
then

256/2
   * the worst-case time complexity of Element should be <O>(log <N>);

256.a/2
          Implementation Advice: The worst-case time complexity of
          Element for Containers.Vector should be <O>(log <N>).

257/2
   * the worst-case time complexity of Append with Count=1 when <N> is
     less than the capacity of the vector should be <O>(log <N>); and

257.a/2
          Implementation Advice: The worst-case time complexity of
          Append with Count = 1 when <N> is less than the capacity for
          Containers.Vector should be <O>(log <N>).

258/2
   * the worst-case time complexity of Prepend with Count=1 and
     Delete_First with Count=1 should be <O>(<N> log <N>).

258.a/2
          Implementation Advice: The worst-case time complexity of
          Prepend with Count = 1 and Delete_First with Count=1 for
          Containers.Vectors should be <O>(<N> log <N>).

258.b/2
          Reason: We do not mean to overly constrain implementation
          strategies here.  However, it is important for portability
          that the performance of large containers has roughly the same
          factors on different implementations.  If a program is moved
          to an implementation that takes <O>(<N>) time to access
          elements, that program could be unusable when the vectors are
          large.  We allow <O>(log <N>) access because the
          proportionality constant and caching effects are likely to be
          larger than the log factor, and we don't want to discourage
          innovative implementations.

259/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} The worst-case time complexity of a call
on procedure Sort of an instance of Containers.Vectors.Generic_Sorting
should be <O>(<N>**2), and the average time complexity should be better
than <O>(<N>**2).

259.a/2
          Implementation Advice: The worst-case time complexity of a
          call on procedure Sort of an instance of
          Containers.Vectors.Generic_Sorting should be <O>(<N>**2), and
          the average time complexity should be better than <O>(<N>**2).

259.b/2
          Ramification: In other words, we're requiring the use of a
          better than <O>(<N>**2) sorting algorithm, such as Quicksort.
          No bubble sorts allowed!

260/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} Containers.Vectors.Generic_Sorting.Sort
and Containers.Vectors.Generic_Sorting.Merge should minimize copying of
elements.

260.a/2
          Implementation Advice: Containers.Vectors.Generic_Sorting.Sort
          and Containers.Vectors.Generic_Sorting.Merge should minimize
          copying of elements.

260.b/2
          To be honest: We do not mean "absolutely minimize" here; we're
          not intending to require a single copy for each element.
          Rather, we want to suggest that the sorting algorithm chosen
          is one that does not copy items unnecessarily.  Bubble sort
          would not meet this advice, for instance.

261/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} Move should not copy elements, and should
minimize copying of internal data structures.

261.a/2
          Implementation Advice: Containers.Vectors.Move should not copy
          elements, and should minimize copying of internal data
          structures.

261.b/2
          Implementation Note: Usually that can be accomplished simply
          by moving the pointer(s) to the internal data structures from
          the Source vector to the Target vector.

262/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} If an exception is propagated from a
vector operation, no storage should be lost, nor any elements removed
from a vector unless specified by the operation.

262.a/2
          Implementation Advice: If an exception is propagated from a
          vector operation, no storage should be lost, nor any elements
          removed from a vector unless specified by the operation.

262.b/2
          Reason: This is important so that programs can recover from
          errors.  But we don't want to require heroic efforts, so we
          just require documentation of cases where this can't be
          accomplished.

     NOTES

263/2
     48  All elements of a vector occupy locations in the internal
     array.  If a sparse container is required, a Hashed_Map should be
     used rather than a vector.

264/2
     49  If Index_Type'Base'First = Index_Type'First an instance of
     Ada.Containers.Vectors will raise Constraint_Error.  A value below
     Index_Type'First is required so that an empty vector has a
     meaningful value of Last_Index.

264.a/2
          Discussion: This property is the main reason why only integer
          types (as opposed to any discrete type) are allowed as the
          index type of a vector.  An enumeration or modular type would
          require a subtype in order to meet this requirement.

                        _Extensions to Ada 95_

264.b/2
          {<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} The package Containers.Vectors
          is new.

                   _Incompatibilities With Ada 2005_

264.c/3
          {<AI05-0001-1AI05-0001-1>} Subprograms Assign and Copy are
          added to Containers.Vectors.  If an instance of
          Containers.Vectors is referenced in a use_clause, and an
          entity <E> with the same defining_identifier as a new entity
          in Containers.Vectors is defined in a package that is also
          referenced in a use_clause, the entity <E> may no longer be
          use-visible, resulting in errors.  This should be rare and is
          easily fixed if it does occur.

                       _Extensions to Ada 2005_

264.d/3
          {<AI05-0212-1AI05-0212-1>} Added iterator, reference, and
          indexing support to make vector containers more convenient to
          use.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

264.e/3
          {<AI05-0001-1AI05-0001-1>} Generalized the definition of
          Reserve_Capacity and Move.  Specified which elements are
          read/written by stream attributes.

264.f/3
          {<AI05-0022-1AI05-0022-1>} Correction: Added a Bounded
          (Run-Time) Error to cover tampering by generic actual
          subprograms.

264.g/3
          {<AI05-0027-1AI05-0027-1>} Correction: Added a Bounded
          (Run-Time) Error to cover access to finalized vector
          containers.

264.h/3
          {<AI05-0044-1AI05-0044-1>} Correction: Redefined "<" actuals
          to require a strict weak ordering; the old definition allowed
          indeterminant comparisons that would not have worked in a
          container.

264.i/3
          {<AI05-0084-1AI05-0084-1>} Correction: Added a pragma
          Remote_Types so that containers can be used in distributed
          programs.

264.j/3
          {<AI05-0160-1AI05-0160-1>} Correction: Revised the definition
          of invalid cursors to cover missing (and new) cases.

264.k/3
          {<AI05-0265-1AI05-0265-1>} Correction: Defined when a
          container prohibits tampering in order to more clearly define
          where the check is made and the exception raised.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2012_

264.l/4
          {<AI12-0110-1AI12-0110-1>} Corrigendum: Clarified that
          tampering checks precede all other checks made by a subprogram
          (but come after those associated with the call).

A.18.3 The Generic Package Containers.Doubly_Linked_Lists
---------------------------------------------------------

1/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} The language-defined generic package
Containers.Doubly_Linked_Lists provides private types List and Cursor,
and a set of operations for each type.  A list container is optimized
for insertion and deletion at any position.  

2/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} A doubly-linked list container object
manages a linked list of internal <nodes>, each of which contains an
element and pointers to the next (successor) and previous (predecessor)
internal nodes.  A cursor designates a particular node within a list
(and by extension the element contained in that node).  A cursor keeps
designating the same node (and element) as long as the node is part of
the container, even if the node is moved in the container.

3/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} The <length> of a list is the number of
elements it contains.

{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} The actual function for the generic
formal function "=" on Element_Type values is expected to define a
reflexive and symmetric relationship and return the same result value
each time it is called with a particular pair of values.  If it behaves
in some other manner, the functions Find, Reverse_Find, and "=" on list
values return an unspecified value.  The exact arguments and number of
calls of this generic formal function by the functions Find,
Reverse_Find, and "=" on list values are unspecified.

55.a/2
          Ramification: If the actual function for "=" is not symmetric
          and consistent, the result returned by the listed functions
          cannot be predicted.  The implementation is not required to
          protect against "=" raising an exception, or returning random
          results, or any other "bad" behavior.  And it can call "=" in
          whatever manner makes sense.  But note that only the results
          of Find, Reverse_Find, and List "=" are unspecified; other
          subprograms are not allowed to break if "=" is bad (they
          aren't expected to use "=").

56/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} The type List is used to represent lists.
The type List needs finalization (see *note 7.6::).

57/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} Empty_List represents the empty List
object.  It has a length of 0.  If an object of type List is not
otherwise initialized, it is initialized to the same value as
Empty_List.

58/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} No_Element represents a cursor that
designates no element.  If an object of type Cursor is not otherwise
initialized, it is initialized to the same value as No_Element.

59/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} The predefined "=" operator for type
Cursor returns True if both cursors are No_Element, or designate the
same element in the same container.

60/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} Execution of the default implementation
of the Input, Output, Read, or Write attribute of type Cursor raises
Program_Error.

60.a/2
          Reason: A cursor will probably be implemented in terms of one
          or more access values, and the effects of streaming access
          values is unspecified.  Rather than letting the user stream
          junk by accident, we mandate that streaming of cursors raise
          Program_Error by default.  The attributes can always be
          specified if there is a need to support streaming.

60.1/3
{<AI05-0001-1AI05-0001-1>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} List'Write for a
List object <L> writes Length(<L>) elements of the list to the stream.
It also may write additional information about the list.

60.2/3
{<AI05-0001-1AI05-0001-1>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} List'Read reads
the representation of a list from the stream, and assigns to <Item> a
list with the same length and elements as was written by List'Write.

60.b/3
          Ramification: Streaming more elements than the container
          length is wrong.  For implementation implications of this
          rule, see the Implementation Note in *note A.18.2::.

{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} [Some operations of this generic package
have access-to-subprogram parameters.  To ensure such operations are
well-defined, they guard against certain actions by the designated
subprogram.  In particular, some operations check for "tampering with
cursors" of a container because they depend on the set of elements of
the container remaining constant, and others check for "tampering with
elements" of a container because they depend on elements of the
container not being replaced.]

62/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} A subprogram is said to <tamper with
cursors> of a list object <L> if:

63/2
   * it inserts or deletes elements of <L>, that is, it calls the
     Insert, Clear, Delete, or Delete_Last procedures with <L> as a
     parameter; or

63.a/2
          To be honest: Operations which are defined to be equivalent to
          a call on one of these operations also are included.
          Similarly, operations which call one of these as part of their
          definition are included.

64/2
   * it reorders the elements of <L>, that is, it calls the Splice,
     Swap_Links, or Reverse_Elements procedures or the Sort or Merge
     procedures of an instance of Generic_Sorting with <L> as a
     parameter; or

65/2
   * it finalizes <L>; or

65.1/3
   * {<AI05-0001-1AI05-0001-1>} it calls the Assign procedure with <L>
     as the Target parameter; or

65.a.1/3
          Ramification: We don't need to explicitly mention
          assignment_statement, because that finalizes the target object
          as part of the operation, and finalization of an object is
          already defined as tampering with cursors.

66/2
   * it calls the Move procedure with <L> as a parameter.

66.a/2
          Reason: Swap copies elements rather than reordering them, so
          it doesn't tamper with cursors.

67/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} A subprogram is said to <tamper with
elements> of a list object <L> if:

68/2
   * it tampers with cursors of <L>; or

69/2
   * it replaces one or more elements of <L>, that is, it calls the
     Replace_Element or Swap procedures with <L> as a parameter.

69.a/2
          Reason: Complete replacement of an element can cause its
          memory to be deallocated while another operation is holding
          onto a reference to it.  That can't be allowed.  However, a
          simple modification of (part of) an element is not a problem,
          so Update_Element does not cause a problem.

69.1/4
{<AI05-0265-1AI05-0265-1>} {<AI12-0110-1AI12-0110-1>} When tampering
with cursors is <prohibited> for a particular list object <L>,
Program_Error is propagated by a call of any language-defined subprogram
that is defined to tamper with the cursors of <L>, leaving <L>
unmodified.  Similarly, when tampering with elements is <prohibited> for
a particular list object <L>, Program_Error is propagated by a call of
any language-defined subprogram that is defined to tamper with the
elements of <L> [(or tamper with the cursors of <L>)], leaving <L>
unmodified.  These checks are made before any other defined behavior of
the body of the language-defined subprogram.

69.b/3
          Proof: Tampering with elements includes tampering with
          cursors, so we mention it only from completeness in the second
          sentence.

     function Has_Element (Position : Cursor) return Boolean;

69.3/3
          {<AI05-0212-1AI05-0212-1>} Returns True if Position designates
          an element, and returns False otherwise.

69.c/3

          {<AI05-0212-1AI05-0212-1>} This function might not detect
          cursors that designate deleted elements; such cursors are
          invalid (see below) and the result of calling Has_Element with
          an invalid cursor is unspecified (but not erroneous).

70/2
     function "=" (Left, Right : List) return Boolean;

71/3
          {<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} If
          Left and Right denote the same list object, then the function
          returns True.  If Left and Right have different lengths, then
          the function returns False.  Otherwise, it compares each
          element in Left to the corresponding element in Right using
          the generic formal equality operator.  If any such comparison
          returns False, the function returns False; otherwise, it
          returns True.  Any exception raised during evaluation of
          element equality is propagated.

71.a/2
          Implementation Note: This wording describes the canonical
          semantics.  However, the order and number of calls on the
          formal equality function is unspecified for all of the
          operations that use it in this package, so an implementation
          can call it as many or as few times as it needs to get the
          correct answer.  Specifically, there is no requirement to call
          the formal equality additional times once the answer has been
          determined.

          Constraint_Error is propagated.  Otherwise, Query_Element
          calls Process.all with the element designated by Position as
          the argument.  Tampering with the elements of the list that
          contains the element designated by Position is prohibited

          Constraint_Error is propagated; if Position does not designate
          an element in Container, then Program_Error is propagated.
          Otherwise, Update_Element calls Process.all with the element
          designated by Position as the argument.  Tampering with the
          elements of Container is prohibited during the execution of
          the call on Process.all.  Any exception raised by Process.all

86.a/2
          Ramification: This means that the elements cannot be directly
          allocated from the heap; it must be possible to change the
          discriminants of the element in place.

          {<AI05-0212-1AI05-0212-1>} The types Constant_Reference_Type

86.4/3
          The default initialization of an object of type
          Constant_Reference_Type or Reference_Type propagates
          Program_Error.

86.b/3
          Reason: It is expected that Reference_Type (and
          Constant_Reference_Type) will be a controlled type, for which
          finalization will have some action to terminate the tampering
          check for the associated container.  If the object is created
          by default, however, there is no associated container.  Since
          this is useless, and supporting this case would take extra
          work, we define it to raise an exception.

86.c/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} This routine exists for

          For a bounded list, := will raise an exception if the
          container capacities are different, while Assign will not
          raise an exception if there is enough room in the target.

          copies of New_Item prior to the element designated by Before.
          If Before equals No_Element, the new elements are inserted

90.a/2
          Ramification: The check on Before checks that the cursor does
          not belong to some other Container.  This check implies that a

          This wording is not meant to require detection of dangling

          Container in reverse order.

106.a/2
          Discussion: Unlike the similar routine for a vector, elements
          should not be copied; rather, the nodes should be exchanged.
          Cursors are expected to reference the same elements
          afterwards.

107/2
     procedure Swap (Container : in out List;

          {<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} If either I or J is No_Element,
          then Constraint_Error is propagated.  If either I or J do not
          designate an element in Container, then Program_Error is
          propagated.  Otherwise, Swap exchanges the values of the
          elements designated by I and J.

108.a/2
          Ramification: After a call to Swap, I designates the element
          value previously designated by J, and J designates the element
          value previously designated by I. The cursors do not become
          ambiguous from this operation.

108.b/2
          To be honest: The implementation is not required to actually
          copy the elements if it can do the swap some other way.  But
          it is allowed to copy the elements if needed.

109/2

          designate an element in Container, then Program_Error is
          propagated.  Otherwise, Swap_Links exchanges the nodes
          designated by I and J.

110.a/2
          Ramification: Unlike Swap, this exchanges the nodes, not the
          elements.  No copying is performed.  I and J designate the
          same elements after this call as they did before it.  This
          operation can provide better performance than Swap if the
          element size is large.

          Otherwise, Splice reorders elements such that they are removed
          from Source and moved to Target, immediately prior to Before.
          If Before equals No_Element, the nodes of Source are spliced
          after the last node of Target.  The length of Target is

          element in Target, then Program_Error is propagated.  If
          Position does not equal No_Element, and does not designate a
          node in Source, then Program_Error is propagated.  If Source
          denotes the same object as Target, then there is no effect if
          Position equals Before, else the element designated by
          Position is moved immediately prior to Before, or, if Before
          equals No_Element, after the last element.  In both cases,
          Position and the length of Target are unchanged.  Otherwise,
          the element designated by Position is removed from Source and
          moved to Target, immediately prior to Before, or, if Before
          equals No_Element, after the last element of Target.  The
          length of Target is incremented, the length of Source is
          decremented, and Position is updated to represent an element
          in Target.

114.a/2
          Ramification: If Source is the same as Target, and Position =
          Before, or Next(Position) = Before, Splice has no effect, as

          Iterate calls Process.all with a cursor that designates each

142.a/2
          Implementation Note: The purpose of the tamper with cursors
          check is to prevent erroneous execution from the Position
          parameter of Process.all becoming invalid.  This check takes
          place when the operations that tamper with the cursors of the

          the body of Iterate), because that could cause the Position
          cursor to be invalid and potentially cause execution to become
          erroneous -- defeating the purpose of the check.

149.a/2
          Ramification: Unlike array sorts, we do require stable sorts

151/3
          {<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} {<AI05-0021-1AI05-0021-1>} If
          Source is empty, then Merge does nothing.  If Source and
          Target are the same nonempty container object, then
          Program_Error is propagated.  Otherwise, Merge removes
          elements from Source and inserts them into Target; afterwards,
          Target contains the union of the elements that were initially
          in Source and Target; Source is left empty.  If Target and
          Source are initially sorted smallest first, then Target is
          ordered smallest first as determined by the generic formal "<"
          operator; otherwise, the order of elements in Target is
          unspecified.  Any exception raised during evaluation of "<" is
          propagated.

151.a/2
          Ramification: It is a bounded error if either of the lists is
          unsorted, see below.  The bounded error can be recovered by
          sorting Target after the merge call, or the lists can be
          pretested with Is_Sorted.

                      _Bounded (Run-Time) Errors_

152/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} Calling Merge in an instance of
Generic_Sorting with either Source or Target not ordered smallest first
using the provided generic formal "<" operator is a bounded error.
Either Program_Error is raised after Target is updated as described for
Merge, or the operation works as defined.

152.1/3
{<AI05-0022-1AI05-0022-1>} {<AI05-0248-1AI05-0248-1>} It is a bounded
error for the actual function associated with a generic formal
subprogram, when called as part of an operation of this package, to
tamper with elements of any List parameter of the operation.  Either
Program_Error is raised, or the operation works as defined on the value
of the List either prior to, or subsequent to, some or all of the
modifications to the List.

152.2/3
{<AI05-0027-1AI05-0027-1>} It is a bounded error to call any subprogram
declared in the visible part of Containers.Doubly_Linked_Lists when the
associated container has been finalized.  If the operation takes
Container as an in out parameter, then it raises Constraint_Error or
Program_Error.  Otherwise, the operation either proceeds as it would for
an empty container, or it raises Constraint_Error or Program_Error.

                         _Erroneous Execution_

153/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} A Cursor value is <invalid> if any of the
following have occurred since it was created: 

154/2
   * The list that contains the element it designates has been
     finalized;

154.1/3
   * {<AI05-0160-1AI05-0160-1>} The list that contains the element it
     designates has been used as the Target of a call to Assign, or as
     the target of an assignment_statement;

155/2
   * [The list that contains the element it designates has been used as
     the Source or Target of a call to Move;] or

155.a/3
          Proof: {<AI05-0001-1AI05-0001-1>} Move has been reworded in
          terms of Assign and Clear, which are covered by other bullets,
          so this text is redundant.

156/3
   * {<AI05-0160-1AI05-0160-1>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} The element
     it designates has been removed from the list that previously
     contained the element.

156.a/3
          To be honest: {<AI05-0160-1AI05-0160-1>} The cursor modified
          by the four parameter Splice is not invalid, even though the
          element it designates has been removed from the source list,
          because that cursor has been modified to designate that
          element in the target list - the cursor no longer designates
          an element in the source list.

156.b/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0160-1AI05-0160-1>} This can happen
          directly via calls to Delete, Delete_Last, Clear, Splice with
          a Source parameter, and Merge; and indirectly via calls to
          Delete_First, Assign, and Move.

157/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} The result of "=" or Has_Element is
unspecified if it is called with an invalid cursor parameter.  Execution
is erroneous if any other subprogram declared in
Containers.Doubly_Linked_Lists is called with an invalid cursor
parameter.  

157.a/2
          Discussion: The list above is intended to be exhaustive.  In
          other cases, a cursor value continues to designate its
          original element.  For instance, cursor values survive the
          insertion and deletion of other nodes.

157.b/2
          While it is possible to check for these cases, in many cases
          the overhead necessary to make the check is substantial in
          time or space.  Implementations are encouraged to check for as
          many of these cases as possible and raise Program_Error if
          detected.

157.1/3
{<AI05-0212-1AI05-0212-1>} Execution is erroneous if the list associated
with the result of a call to Reference or Constant_Reference is
finalized before the result object returned by the call to Reference or
Constant_Reference is finalized.

157.c/3
          Reason: Each object of Reference_Type and
          Constant_Reference_Type probably contains some reference to
          the originating container.  If that container is prematurely
          finalized (which is only possible via Unchecked_Deallocation,
          as accessibility checks prevent passing a container to
          Reference that will not live as long as the result), the
          finalization of the object of Reference_Type will try to
          access a nonexistent object.  This is a normal case of a
          dangling pointer created by Unchecked_Deallocation; we have to
          explicitly mention it here as the pointer in question is not
          visible in the specification of the type.  (This is the same
          reason we have to say this for invalid cursors.)

                     _Implementation Requirements_

158/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} No storage associated with a
doubly-linked List object shall be lost upon assignment or scope exit.

159/3
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} The execution
of an assignment_statement for a list shall have the effect of copying
the elements from the source list object to the target list object and
changing the length of the target object to that of the source object.

159.a/3
          Implementation Note: {<AI05-0298-1AI05-0298-1>} An assignment
          of a List is a "deep" copy; that is the elements are copied as
          well as the data structures.  We say "effect of" in order to
          allow the implementation to avoid copying elements immediately
          if it wishes.  For instance, an implementation that avoided
          copying until one of the containers is modified would be
          allowed.  (Note that this implementation would require care,
          see *note A.18.2:: for more.)

                        _Implementation Advice_

160/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} Containers.Doubly_Linked_Lists should be
implemented similarly to a linked list.  In particular, if <N> is the
length of a list, then the worst-case time complexity of Element, Insert
with Count=1, and Delete with Count=1 should be <O>(log <N>).

160.a/2
          Implementation Advice: The worst-case time complexity of
          Element, Insert with Count=1, and Delete with Count=1 for
          Containers.Doubly_Linked_Lists should be <O>(log <N>).

160.b/2
          Reason: We do not mean to overly constrain implementation
          strategies here.  However, it is important for portability
          that the performance of large containers has roughly the same
          factors on different implementations.  If a program is moved
          to an implementation that takes <O>(<N>) time to access
          elements, that program could be unusable when the lists are
          large.  We allow <O>(log <N>) access because the
          proportionality constant and caching effects are likely to be
          larger than the log factor, and we don't want to discourage
          innovative implementations.

161/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} The worst-case time complexity of a call
on procedure Sort of an instance of
Containers.Doubly_Linked_Lists.Generic_Sorting should be <O>(<N>**2),
and the average time complexity should be better than <O>(<N>**2).

161.a/2
          Implementation Advice: A call on procedure Sort of an instance
          of Containers.Doubly_Linked_Lists.Generic_Sorting should have
          an average time complexity better than <O>(<N>**2) and worst
          case no worse than <O>(<N>**2).

161.b/2
          Ramification: In other words, we're requiring the use of a
          better than <O>(<N>**2) sorting algorithm, such as Quicksort.
          No bubble sorts allowed!

162/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} Move should not copy elements, and should
minimize copying of internal data structures.

162.a/2
          Implementation Advice: Containers.Doubly_Linked_Lists.Move
          should not copy elements, and should minimize copying of
          internal data structures.

162.b/2
          Implementation Note: Usually that can be accomplished simply
          by moving the pointer(s) to the internal data structures from
          the Source container to the Target container.

163/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} If an exception is propagated from a list
operation, no storage should be lost, nor any elements removed from a
list unless specified by the operation.

163.a/2
          Implementation Advice: If an exception is propagated from a
          list operation, no storage should be lost, nor any elements
          removed from a list unless specified by the operation.

163.b/2
          Reason: This is important so that programs can recover from
          errors.  But we don't want to require heroic efforts, so we
          just require documentation of cases where this can't be
          accomplished.

     NOTES

164/2
     50  {<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} Sorting a list never copies
     elements, and is a stable sort (equal elements remain in the
     original order).  This is different than sorting an array or
     vector, which may need to copy elements, and is probably not a
     stable sort.

                        _Extensions to Ada 95_

164.a/2
          {<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} The generic package
          Containers.Doubly_Linked_Lists is new.

                    _Inconsistencies With Ada 2005_

164.b/3
          {<AI05-0248-1AI05-0248-1>} {<AI05-0257-1AI05-0257-1>}
          Correction: The Insert versions that return a Position
          parameter are now defined to return Position = Before if Count
          = 0.  This was unspecified for Ada 2005; so this will only be
          inconsistent if an implementation did something else and a
          program depended on that something else -- this should be very
          rare.

                   _Incompatibilities With Ada 2005_

164.c/3
          {<AI05-0001-1AI05-0001-1>} Subprograms Assign and Copy are
          added to Containers.Doubly_Linked_Lists.  If an instance of
          Containers.Doubly_Linked_Lists is referenced in a use_clause,
          and an entity <E> with the same defining_identifier as a new
          entity in Containers.Doubly_Linked_Lists is defined in a
          package that is also referenced in a use_clause, the entity
          <E> may no longer be use-visible, resulting in errors.  This
          should be rare and is easily fixed if it does occur.

                       _Extensions to Ada 2005_

164.d/3
          {<AI05-0212-1AI05-0212-1>} Added iterator, reference, and
          indexing support to make list containers more convenient to
          use.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

164.e/3
          {<AI05-0001-1AI05-0001-1>} Generalized the definition of Move.
          Specified which elements are read/written by stream
          attributes.

164.f/3
          {<AI05-0022-1AI05-0022-1>} Correction: Added a Bounded
          (Run-Time) Error to cover tampering by generic actual
          subprograms.

164.g/3
          {<AI05-0027-1AI05-0027-1>} Correction: Added a Bounded
          (Run-Time) Error to cover access to finalized list containers.

164.h/3
          {<AI05-0044-1AI05-0044-1>} Correction: Redefined "<" actuals
          to require a strict weak ordering; the old definition allowed
          indeterminant comparisons that would not have worked in a
          container.

164.i/3
          {<AI05-0084-1AI05-0084-1>} Correction: Added a pragma
          Remote_Types so that containers can be used in distributed
          programs.

164.j/3
          {<AI05-0160-1AI05-0160-1>} Correction: Revised the definition
          of invalid cursors to cover missing (and new) cases.

164.k/3
          {<AI05-0257-1AI05-0257-1>} Correction: Added missing wording
          to describe the Position after Inserting 0 elements.

164.l/3
          {<AI05-0265-1AI05-0265-1>} Correction: Defined when a
          container prohibits tampering in order to more clearly define
          where the check is made and the exception raised.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2012_

164.m/4
          {<AI12-0110-1AI12-0110-1>} Corrigendum: Clarified that
          tampering checks precede all other checks made by a subprogram
          (but come after those associated with the call).

A.18.4 Maps
-----------

1/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} The language-defined generic packages
Containers.Hashed_Maps and Containers.Ordered_Maps provide private types
Map and Cursor, and a set of operations for each type.  A map container
allows an arbitrary type to be used as a key to find the element
associated with that key.  A hashed map uses a hash function to organize
the keys, while an ordered map orders the keys per a specified relation.

2/3
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} This subclause
describes the declarations that are common to both kinds of maps.  See
*note A.18.5:: for a description of the semantics specific to
Containers.Hashed_Maps and *note A.18.6:: for a description of the
semantics specific to Containers.Ordered_Maps.

                          _Static Semantics_

3/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} The actual function for the generic
formal function "=" on Element_Type values is expected to define a
reflexive and symmetric relationship and return the same result value
each time it is called with a particular pair of values.  If it behaves
in some other manner, the function "=" on map values returns an
unspecified value.  The exact arguments and number of calls of this
generic formal function by the function "=" on map values are
unspecified.

3.a/2
          Ramification: If the actual function for "=" is not symmetric
          and consistent, the result returned by "=" for Map objects
          cannot be predicted.  The implementation is not required to
          protect against "=" raising an exception, or returning random
          results, or any other "bad" behavior.  And it can call "=" in
          whatever manner makes sense.  But note that only the result of
          "=" for Map objects is unspecified; other subprograms are not
          allowed to break if "=" is bad (they aren't expected to use
          "=").

4/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} The type Map is used to represent maps.
The type Map needs finalization (see *note 7.6::).

5/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} A map contains pairs of keys and
elements, called <nodes>.  Map cursors designate nodes, but also can be
thought of as designating an element (the element contained in the node)
for consistency with the other containers.  There exists an equivalence
relation on keys, whose definition is different for hashed maps and
ordered maps.  A map never contains two or more nodes with equivalent
keys.  The <length> of a map is the number of nodes it contains.

6/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} Each nonempty map has two particular
nodes called the <first node> and the <last node> (which may be the
same).  Each node except for the last node has a <successor node>.  If
there are no other intervening operations, starting with the first node
and repeatedly going to the successor node will visit each node in the
map exactly once until the last node is reached.  The exact definition
of these terms is different for hashed maps and ordered maps.

7/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} [Some operations of these generic
packages have access-to-subprogram parameters.  To ensure such
operations are well-defined, they guard against certain actions by the
designated subprogram.  In particular, some operations check for
"tampering with cursors" of a container because they depend on the set
of elements of the container remaining constant, and others check for
"tampering with elements" of a container because they depend on elements
of the container not being replaced.]

8/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} A subprogram is said to <tamper with
cursors> of a map object <M> if:

9/2
   * it inserts or deletes elements of <M>, that is, it calls the
     Insert, Include, Clear, Delete, or Exclude procedures with <M> as a
     parameter; or

9.a/2
          To be honest: Operations which are defined to be equivalent to
          a call on one of these operations also are included.
          Similarly, operations which call one of these as part of their
          definition are included.

10/2
   * it finalizes <M>; or

10.1/3
   * {<AI05-0001-1AI05-0001-1>} it calls the Assign procedure with <M>
     as the Target parameter; or

10.a/3
          Ramification: We don't need to explicitly mention
          assignment_statement, because that finalizes the target object
          as part of the operation, and finalization of an object is
          already defined as tampering with cursors.

11/2
   * it calls the Move procedure with <M> as a parameter; or

12/2
   * it calls one of the operations defined to tamper with the cursors
     of <M>.

12.a/2
          Ramification: Replace only modifies a key and element rather
          than rehashing, so it does not tamper with cursors.

13/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} A subprogram is said to <tamper with
elements> of a map object <M> if:

14/2
   * it tampers with cursors of <M>; or

15/2
   * it replaces one or more elements of <M>, that is, it calls the
     Replace or Replace_Element procedures with <M> as a parameter.

15.a/2
          Reason: Complete replacement of an element can cause its
          memory to be deallocated while another operation is holding
          onto a reference to it.  That can't be allowed.  However, a
          simple modification of (part of) an element is not a problem,
          so Update_Element does not cause a problem.

15.1/4
{<AI05-0265-1AI05-0265-1>} {<AI12-0110-1AI12-0110-1>} When tampering
with cursors is <prohibited> for a particular map object <M>,
Program_Error is propagated by a call of any language-defined subprogram
that is defined to tamper with the cursors of <M>, leaving <M>
unmodified.  Similarly, when tampering with elements is <prohibited> for
a particular map object <M>, Program_Error is propagated by a call of
any language-defined subprogram that is defined to tamper with the
elements of <M> [(or tamper with the cursors of <M>)], leaving <M>
unmodified.  These checks are made before any other defined behavior of
the body of the language-defined subprogram.

15.b/3
          Proof: Tampering with elements includes tampering with
          cursors, so we mention it only from completeness in the second
          sentence.

16/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} Empty_Map represents the empty Map
object.  It has a length of 0.  If an object of type Map is not
otherwise initialized, it is initialized to the same value as Empty_Map.

17/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} No_Element represents a cursor that
designates no node.  If an object of type Cursor is not otherwise
initialized, it is initialized to the same value as No_Element.

18/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} The predefined "=" operator for type
Cursor returns True if both cursors are No_Element, or designate the
same element in the same container.

19/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} Execution of the default implementation
of the Input, Output, Read, or Write attribute of type Cursor raises
Program_Error.

19.a/2
          Reason: A cursor will probably be implemented in terms of one
          or more access values, and the effects of streaming access
          values is unspecified.  Rather than letting the user stream
          junk by accident, we mandate that streaming of cursors raise
          Program_Error by default.  The attributes can always be
          specified if there is a need to support streaming.

Map object <M> writes Length(<M>) elements of the map to the stream.  It
also may write additional information about the map.

19.2/3
{<AI05-0001-1AI05-0001-1>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} Map'Read reads the
representation of a map from the stream, and assigns to <Item> a map
with the same length and elements as was written by Map'Write.

19.b/3
          Ramification: Streaming more elements than the container
          length is wrong.  For implementation implications of this
          rule, see the Implementation Note in *note A.18.2::.

     function Has_Element (Position : Cursor) return Boolean;

19.4/3
          {<AI05-0212-1AI05-0212-1>} Returns True if Position designates
          an element, and returns False otherwise.

19.c/3
          To be honest: {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>}
          {<AI05-0212-1AI05-0212-1>} This function might not detect
          cursors that designate deleted elements; such cursors are
          invalid (see below) and the result of calling Has_Element with
          an invalid cursor is unspecified (but not erroneous).

     function "=" (Left, Right : Map) return Boolean;

21/2
          {<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} If Left and Right denote the
          same map object, then the function returns True.  If Left and
          Right have different lengths, then the function returns False.
          Otherwise, for each key <K> in Left, the function returns
          False if:

22/2
             * a key equivalent to <K> is not present in Right; or

23/2
             * the element associated with <K> in Left is not equal to
               the element associated with <K> in Right (using the
               generic formal equality operator for elements).

24/2
          If the function has not returned a result after checking all
          of the keys, it returns True.  Any exception raised during
          evaluation of key equivalence or element equality is
          propagated.

24.a/2
          Implementation Note: This wording describes the canonical
          semantics.  However, the order and number of calls on the
          formal equality function is unspecified for all of the
          operations that use it in this package, so an implementation
          can call it as many or as few times as it needs to get the
          correct answer.  Specifically, there is no requirement to call
          the formal equality additional times once the answer has been
          determined.

          Constraint_Error is propagated.  Otherwise, Query_Element
          calls Process.all with the key and element from the node
          designated by Position as the arguments.  Tampering with the
          elements of the map that contains the element designated by
          Position is prohibited during the execution of the call on

          Otherwise, Update_Element calls Process.all with the key and

          raised by Process.all is propagated.

41/2
          If Element_Type is unconstrained and definite, then the actual
          Element parameter of Process.all shall be unconstrained.

41.a/2
          Ramification: This means that the elements cannot be directly
          allocated from the heap; it must be possible to change the
          discriminants of the element in place.

41.3/3
          {<AI05-0212-1AI05-0212-1>} The types Constant_Reference_Type
          and Reference_Type need finalization.

41.4/3
          The default initialization of an object of type
          Constant_Reference_Type or Reference_Type propagates
          Program_Error.

41.b/3
          Reason: It is expected that Reference_Type (and
          Constant_Reference_Type) will be a controlled type, for which
          finalization will have some action to terminate the tampering
          check for the associated container.  If the object is created
          by default, however, there is no associated container.  Since
          this is useless, and supporting this case would take extra
          work, we define it to raise an exception.

          propagated; if Position does not designate an element in
          Container, then Program_Error is propagated.  Otherwise,
          Constant_Reference returns an object whose discriminant is an
          access value that designates the element designated by
          Position.  Tampering with the elements of Container is

          Discussion: {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} This routine exists for

          unbounded map, Assign(A, B) and A := B behave identically.
          For a bounded map, := will raise an exception if the container

          exception if there is enough room in the target.

59.a/2
          Ramification: The check on Position checks that the cursor
          does not belong to some other map.  This check implies that a
          reference to the map is included in the cursor value.  This
          wording is not meant to require detection of dangling cursors;
          such cursors are defined to be invalid, which means that

          not raising an exception).

          Iterate calls Process.all with a cursor that designates each
          node in Container, starting with the first node and moving the
          cursor according to the successor relation.  Tampering with
          the cursors of Container is prohibited during the execution of
          a call on Process.all.  Any exception raised by Process.all is
          propagated.

75.a/2
          Implementation Note: The "tamper with cursors" check takes
          place when the operations that insert or delete elements, and
          so on, are called.

75.b/2
          See Iterate for vectors (*note A.18.2::) for a suggested
          implementation of the check.

                      _Bounded (Run-Time) Errors_

75.1/3
{<AI05-0022-1AI05-0022-1>} {<AI05-0248-1AI05-0248-1>} It is a bounded
error for the actual function associated with a generic formal
subprogram, when called as part of an operation of a map package, to
tamper with elements of any map parameter of the operation.  Either
Program_Error is raised, or the operation works as defined on the value
of the map either prior to, or subsequent to, some or all of the
modifications to the map.

75.2/3
{<AI05-0027-1AI05-0027-1>} It is a bounded error to call any subprogram
declared in the visible part of a map package when the associated
container has been finalized.  If the operation takes Container as an in
out parameter, then it raises Constraint_Error or Program_Error.
Otherwise, the operation either proceeds as it would for an empty
container, or it raises Constraint_Error or Program_Error.

                         _Erroneous Execution_

76/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} A Cursor value is <invalid> if any of the
following have occurred since it was created: 

77/2
   * The map that contains the node it designates has been finalized;

77.1/3
   * {<AI05-0160-1AI05-0160-1>} The map that contains the node it
     designates has been used as the Target of a call to Assign, or as
     the target of an assignment_statement;

78/2
   * The map that contains the node it designates has been used as the
     Source or Target of a call to Move; or

79/3
   * {<AI05-0160-1AI05-0160-1>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} The node it
     designates has been removed from the map that previously contained
     the node.

79.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0160-1AI05-0160-1>} This can happen
          directly via calls to Clear, Exclude, and Delete.

80/2
The result of "=" or Has_Element is unspecified if these functions are
called with an invalid cursor parameter.  Execution is erroneous if any
other subprogram declared in Containers.Hashed_Maps or
Containers.Ordered_Maps is called with an invalid cursor parameter.

80.a/2
          Discussion: The list above is intended to be exhaustive.  In
          other cases, a cursor value continues to designate its
          original element.  For instance, cursor values survive the
          insertion and deletion of other nodes.

80.b/2
          While it is possible to check for these cases, in many cases
          the overhead necessary to make the check is substantial in
          time or space.  Implementations are encouraged to check for as
          many of these cases as possible and raise Program_Error if
          detected.

80.1/3
{<AI05-0212-1AI05-0212-1>} Execution is erroneous if the map associated
with the result of a call to Reference or Constant_Reference is
finalized before the result object returned by the call to Reference or
Constant_Reference is finalized.

80.c/3
          Reason: Each object of Reference_Type and
          Constant_Reference_Type probably contains some reference to
          the originating container.  If that container is prematurely
          finalized (which is only possible via Unchecked_Deallocation,
          as accessibility checks prevent passing a container to
          Reference that will not live as long as the result), the
          finalization of the object of Reference_Type will try to
          access a nonexistent object.  This is a normal case of a
          dangling pointer created by Unchecked_Deallocation; we have to
          explicitly mention it here as the pointer in question is not
          visible in the specification of the type.  (This is the same
          reason we have to say this for invalid cursors.)

                     _Implementation Requirements_

81/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} No storage associated with a Map object
shall be lost upon assignment or scope exit.

82/3
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} The execution
of an assignment_statement for a map shall have the effect of copying
the elements from the source map object to the target map object and
changing the length of the target object to that of the source object.

82.a/3
          Implementation Note: {<AI05-0298-1AI05-0298-1>} An assignment
          of a Map is a "deep" copy; that is the elements are copied as
          well as the data structures.  We say "effect of" in order to
          allow the implementation to avoid copying elements immediately
          if it wishes.  For instance, an implementation that avoided
          copying until one of the containers is modified would be
          allowed.  (Note that this implementation would require care,
          see *note A.18.2:: for more.)

                        _Implementation Advice_

83/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} Move should not copy elements, and should
minimize copying of internal data structures.

83.a/2
          Implementation Advice: Move for a map should not copy
          elements, and should minimize copying of internal data
          structures.

83.b/2
          Implementation Note: Usually that can be accomplished simply
          by moving the pointer(s) to the internal data structures from
          the Source container to the Target container.

84/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} If an exception is propagated from a map
operation, no storage should be lost, nor any elements removed from a
map unless specified by the operation.

84.a/2
          Implementation Advice: If an exception is propagated from a
          map operation, no storage should be lost, nor any elements
          removed from a map unless specified by the operation.

84.b/2
          Reason: This is important so that programs can recover from
          errors.  But we don't want to require heroic efforts, so we
          just require documentation of cases where this can't be
          accomplished.

{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} An object of type Map contains an
expandable hash table, which is used to provide direct access to nodes.
The <capacity> of an object of type Map is the maximum number of nodes
that can be inserted into the hash table prior to it being automatically
expanded.

41.a/2
          Implementation Note: The expected implementation for a Map
          uses a hash table which is grown when it is too small, with
          linked lists hanging off of each bucket.  Note that in that
          implementation a cursor needs a back pointer to the Map object
          to implement iteration; that could either be in the nodes, or
          in the cursor object.  To provide an average <O>(1) access
          time, capacity would typically equal the number of buckets in
          such an implementation, so that the average bucket linked list
          length would be no more than 1.0.

41.b/2
          There is no defined relationship between elements in a hashed
          map.  Typically, iteration will return elements in the order
          that they are hashed in.

42/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} Two keys <K1> and <K2> are defined to be
<equivalent> if Equivalent_Keys (<K1>, <K2>) returns True.

43/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} The actual function for the generic
formal function Hash is expected to return the same value each time it
is called with a particular key value.  For any two equivalent key
values, the actual for Hash is expected to return the same value.  If
the actual for Hash behaves in some other manner, the behavior of this
package is unspecified.  Which subprograms of this package call Hash,
and how many times they call it, is unspecified.

43.a/2
          Implementation Note: The implementation is not required to
          protect against Hash raising an exception, or returning random
          numbers, or any other "bad" behavior.  It's not practical to
          do so, and a broken Hash function makes the container
          unusable.

43.b/2
          The implementation can call Hash whenever it is needed; we
          don't want to specify how often that happens.  The result must
          remain the same (this is logically a pure function), or the
          behavior is unspecified.

44/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} The actual function for the generic
formal function Equivalent_Keys on Key_Type values is expected to return
the same value each time it is called with a particular pair of key
values.  It should define an equivalence relationship, that is, be
reflexive, symmetric, and transitive.  If the actual for Equivalent_Keys
behaves in some other manner, the behavior of this package is
unspecified.  Which subprograms of this package call Equivalent_Keys,
and how many times they call it, is unspecified.

44.a/2
          Implementation Note: As with Hash, the implementation is not
          required to protect against Equivalent_Keys raising an
          exception or returning random results.  Similarly, the
          implementation can call this operation whenever it is needed.
          The result must remain the same (this is a logically pure
          function), or the behavior is unspecified.

45/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} If the value of a key stored in a node of
a map is changed other than by an operation in this package such that at
least one of Hash or Equivalent_Keys give different results, the
behavior of this package is unspecified.

45.a/2
          Implementation Note: The implementation is not required to
          protect against changes to key values other than via the
          operations declared in the Hashed_Maps package.

45.b/2
          To see how this could happen, imagine an instance of
          Hashed_Maps where the key type is an access-to-variable type
          and Hash returns a value derived from the components of the
          designated object.  Then, any operation that has a key value
          could modify those components and change the hash value:

45.c/2
               Key (Map).Some_Component := New_Value;

45.d/2
          This is really a design error on the part of the user of the
          map; it shouldn't be possible to modify keys stored in a map.
          But we can't prevent this error anymore than we can prevent
          someone passing as Hash a random number generator.

46/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} Which nodes are the first node and the
last node of a map, and which node is the successor of a given node, are
unspecified, other than the general semantics described in *note
A.18.4::.

46.a/2
          Implementation Note: Typically the first node will be the
          first node in the first bucket, the last node will be the last
          node in the last bucket, and the successor will be obtained by
          following the collision list, and going to the next bucket at
          the end of each bucket.

47/2
     function Capacity (Container : Map) return Count_Type;

48/2
          {<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} Returns the capacity of
          Container.

49/2
     procedure Reserve_Capacity (Container : in out Map;
                                 Capacity  : in     Count_Type);

50/2
          {<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} Reserve_Capacity allocates a
          new hash table such that the length of the resulting map can
          become at least the value Capacity without requiring an
          additional call to Reserve_Capacity, and is large enough to
          hold the current length of Container.  Reserve_Capacity then
          rehashes the nodes in Container onto the new hash table.  It
          replaces the old hash table with the new hash table, and then
          deallocates the old hash table.  Any exception raised during
          allocation is propagated and Container is not modified.

51/2
          Reserve_Capacity tampers with the cursors of Container.

51.a/2
          Implementation Note: This routine is used to preallocate the
          internal hash table to the specified capacity such that future
          Inserts do not require expansion of the hash table.
          Therefore, the implementation should allocate the needed
          memory to make that true at this point, even though the
          visible semantics could be preserved by waiting until enough
          elements are inserted.

51.b/3
          {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} While Reserve_Capacity can be used
          to reduce the capacity of a map, we do not specify whether an
          implementation actually supports reduction of the capacity.
          Since the actual capacity can be anything greater than or
          equal to Capacity, an implementation never has to reduce the
          capacity.

51.c/2
          Reserve_Capacity tampers with the cursors, as rehashing
          probably will change the order that elements are stored in the
          map.

52/2
     procedure Clear (Container : in out Map);

53/2
          {<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} In addition to the semantics
          described in *note A.18.4::, Clear does not affect the
          capacity of Container.

53.1/3
     procedure Assign (Target : in out Map; Source : in Map);

53.2/3
          {<AI05-0001-1AI05-0001-1>} {<AI05-0248-1AI05-0248-1>} In
          addition to the semantics described in *note A.18.4::, if the
          length of Source is greater than the capacity of Target,
          Reserve_Capacity (Target, Length (Source)) is called before
          assigning any elements.

53.3/3
     function Copy (Source : Map; Capacity : Count_Type := 0) return Map;

53.4/3
          {<AI05-0001-1AI05-0001-1>} Returns a map whose keys and
          elements are initialized from the keys and elements of Source.
          If Capacity is 0, then the map capacity is the length of
          Source; if Capacity is equal to or greater than the length of
          Source, the map capacity is at least the specified value.
          Otherwise, the operation propagates Capacity_Error.

53.a/2
          Implementation Note: In:

53.b/2
               procedure Move (Target : in out Map;
                               Source : in out Map);

53.c/2
          The intended implementation is that the internal hash table of
          Target is first deallocated; then the internal hash table is
          removed from Source and moved to Target.

54/2
     procedure Insert (Container : in out Map;
                       Key       : in     Key_Type;
                       New_Item  : in     Element_Type;
                       Position  :    out Cursor;
                       Inserted  :    out Boolean);

55/2
          {<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} In addition to the semantics
          described in *note A.18.4::, if Length (Container) equals
          Capacity (Container), then Insert first calls Reserve_Capacity
          to increase the capacity of Container to some larger value.

55.a/2
          Implementation Note: Insert should only compare keys that hash
          to the same bucket in the hash table.

55.b/2
          We specify when Reserve_Capacity is called to bound the
          overhead of capacity expansion operations (which are
          potentially expensive).  Moreover, expansion can be predicted
          by comparing Capacity(Map) to Length(Map).  Since we don't
          specify by how much the hash table is expanded, this only can
          be used to predict the next expansion, not later ones.

55.c/2
          Implementation Note: In:

55.d/2
               procedure Exclude (Container : in out Map;
                                  Key       : in     Key_Type);

55.e/2
          Exclude should only compare keys that hash to the same bucket
          in the hash table.

55.f/2
          Implementation Note: In:

55.g/2
               procedure Delete (Container : in out Map;
                                 Key       : in     Key_Type);

55.h/2
          Delete should only compare keys that hash to the same bucket
          in the hash table.  The node containing the element may be
          deallocated now, or it may be saved and reused later.

55.i/2
          Implementation Note: In:

55.j/2
               function First (Container : Map) return Cursor;

55.k/2
          In a typical implementation, this will be the first node in
          the lowest numbered hash bucket that contains a node.

55.l/2
          Implementation Note: In:

55.m/2
               function Next (Position  : Cursor) return Cursor;

55.n/2
          In a typical implementation, this will return the next node in
          a bucket; if Position is the last node in a bucket, this will
          return the first node in the next nonempty bucket.

55.o/2
          A typical implementation will need to a keep a pointer at the
          map container in the cursor in order to implement this
          function.

          Find should only compare keys that hash to the same bucket in
          the hash table.

          {<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>} Iterate returns an iterator object
          (see *note 5.5.1::) that will generate a value for a loop
          parameter (see *note 5.5.2::) designating each node in
          Container, starting with the first node and moving the cursor
          according to the successor relation.  Tampering with the
          cursors of Container is prohibited while the iterator object
          exists (in particular, in the sequence_of_statements of the
          loop_statement whose iterator_specification denotes this
          object).  The iterator object needs finalization.

                        _Implementation Advice_

62/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} If <N> is the length of a map, the
average time complexity of the subprograms Element, Insert, Include,
Replace, Delete, Exclude and Find that take a key parameter should be
<O>(log <N>).  The average time complexity of the subprograms that take
a cursor parameter should be <O>(1).  The average time complexity of
Reserve_Capacity should be <O>(<N>).

62.a/2
          Implementation Advice: The average time complexity of Element,
          Insert, Include, Replace, Delete, Exclude and Find operations
          that take a key parameter for Containers.Hashed_Maps should be
          <O>(log <N>).  The average time complexity of the subprograms
          of Containers.Hashed_Maps that take a cursor parameter should
          be <O>(1).  The average time complexity of
          Containers.Hashed_Maps.Reserve_Capacity should be <O>(<N>).

62.b/2
          Reason: We do not mean to overly constrain implementation
          strategies here.  However, it is important for portability
          that the performance of large containers has roughly the same
          factors on different implementations.  If a program is moved
          to an implementation for which Find is <O>(<N>), that program
          could be unusable when the maps are large.  We allow <O>(log
          <N>) access because the proportionality constant and caching
          effects are likely to be larger than the log factor, and we
          don't want to discourage innovative implementations.

62.c/2
          {<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} The generic package
          Containers.Hashed_Maps is new.

                   _Incompatibilities With Ada 2005_

62.d/3
          {<AI05-0001-1AI05-0001-1>} Subprograms Assign and Copy are
          added to Containers.Hashed_Maps.  If an instance of
          Containers.Hashed_Maps is referenced in a use_clause, and an
          entity <E> with the same defining_identifier as a new entity
          in Containers.Hashed_Maps is defined in a package that is also
          referenced in a use_clause, the entity <E> may no longer be
          use-visible, resulting in errors.  This should be rare and is
          easily fixed if it does occur.

62.e/3
          {<AI05-0212-1AI05-0212-1>} Added iterator and indexing support
          to make hashed map containers more convenient to use.

62.f/3

function for the generic formal function "<" on Key_Type values is
expected to return the same value each time it is called with a
particular pair of key values.  It should define a strict weak ordering
relationship (see *note A.18::).  If the actual for "<" behaves in some
other manner, the behavior of this package is unspecified.  Which
subprograms of this package call "<" and how many times they call it, is
unspecified.

56.a/2
          Implementation Note: The implementation is not required to
          protect against "<" raising an exception, or returning random
          results, or any other "bad" behavior.  It's not practical to
          do so, and a broken "<" function makes the container unusable.

56.b/2
          The implementation can call "<" whenever it is needed; we
          don't want to specify how often that happens.  The result must
          remain the same (this is a logically pure function), or the
          behavior is unspecified.

57/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} If the value of a key stored in a map is
changed other than by an operation in this package such that at least
one of "<" or "=" give different results, the behavior of this package
is unspecified.

57.a/2
          Implementation Note: The implementation is not required to
          protect against changes to key values other than via the

57.b/2
          To see how this could happen, imagine an instance of
          Ordered_Maps package where the key type is an
          access-to-variable type and "<" returns a value derived from
          comparing the components of the designated objects.  Then, any
          operation that has a key value (even if the key value is
          constant) could modify those components and change the result
          of "<":

57.c/2
               Key (Map).Some_Component := New_Value;

57.d/2
          This is really a design error on the part of the user of the
          map; it shouldn't be possible to modify keys stored in a map
          such that "<" changes.  But we can't prevent this error
          anymore than we can prevent someone passing as "<" a routine
          that produces random answers.

95/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} If <N> is the length of a map, then the
worst-case time complexity of the Element, Insert, Include, Replace,
Delete, Exclude and Find operations that take a key parameter should be
<O>((log <N>)**2) or better.  The worst-case time complexity of the
subprograms that take a cursor parameter should be <O>(1).

95.a/2
          Implementation Advice: The worst-case time complexity of
          Element, Insert, Include, Replace, Delete, Exclude and Find
          operations that take a key parameter for
          Containers.Ordered_Maps should be <O>((log <N>)**2) or better.
          The worst-case time complexity of the subprograms of
          Containers.Ordered_Maps that take a cursor parameter should be
          <O>(1).

95.b/2
          Implementation Note: A balanced (red-black) tree for keys has
          <O>(log <N>) worst-case performance.  Note that a <O>(<N>)
          worst-case implementation (like a list) would be wrong.

95.c/2
          Reason: We do not mean to overly constrain implementation
          strategies here.  However, it is important for portability
          that the performance of large containers has roughly the same
          factors on different implementations.  If a program is moved
          to an implementation that takes <O>(<N>) to find elements,
          that program could be unusable when the maps are large.  We
          allow the extra log <N> factors because the proportionality
          constant and caching effects are likely to be larger than the
          log factor, and we don't want to discourage innovative
          implementations.

                        _Extensions to Ada 95_

95.d/2
          {<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} The generic package
          Containers.Ordered_Maps is new.

95.e/3
          {<AI05-0001-1AI05-0001-1>} Subprograms Assign and Copy are
          added to Containers.Ordered_Maps.  If an instance of
          Containers.Ordered_Maps is referenced in a use_clause, and an
          entity <E> with the same defining_identifier as a new entity
          in Containers.Ordered_Maps is defined in a package that is
          also referenced in a use_clause, the entity <E> may no longer
          be use-visible, resulting in errors.  This should be rare and
          is easily fixed if it does occur.

95.f/3

95.g/3
          {<AI05-0044-1AI05-0044-1>} Correction: Redefined "<" actuals
          to require a strict weak ordering; the old definition allowed
          indeterminant comparisons that would not have worked in a
          container.

95.h/3
          {<AI05-0084-1AI05-0084-1>} Correction: Added a pragma
          Remote_Types so that containers can be used in distributed
          programs.

1/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} The language-defined generic packages
Containers.Hashed_Sets and Containers.Ordered_Sets provide private types
Set and Cursor, and a set of operations for each type.  A set container
allows elements of an arbitrary type to be stored without duplication.
A hashed set uses a hash function to organize elements, while an ordered
set orders its element per a specified relation.  

2/3
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} This subclause
describes the declarations that are common to both kinds of sets.  See
*note A.18.8:: for a description of the semantics specific to
Containers.Hashed_Sets and *note A.18.9:: for a description of the
semantics specific to Containers.Ordered_Sets.

3/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} The actual function for the generic
formal function "=" on Element_Type values is expected to define a
reflexive and symmetric relationship and return the same result value
each time it is called with a particular pair of values.  If it behaves
in some other manner, the function "=" on set values returns an
unspecified value.  The exact arguments and number of calls of this
generic formal function by the function "=" on set values are
unspecified.

3.a/2
          Ramification: If the actual function for "=" is not symmetric
          and consistent, the result returned by the "=" for Set objects
          cannot be predicted.  The implementation is not required to
          protect against "=" raising an exception, or returning random
          results, or any other "bad" behavior.  And it can call "=" in
          whatever manner makes sense.  But note that only the result of
          "=" for Set objects is unspecified; other subprograms are not
          allowed to break if "=" is bad (they aren't expected to use
          "=").

4/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} The type Set is used to represent sets.
The type Set needs finalization (see *note 7.6::).

5/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} A set contains elements.  Set cursors
designate elements.  There exists an equivalence relation on elements,
whose definition is different for hashed sets and ordered sets.  A set
never contains two or more equivalent elements.  The <length> of a set
is the number of elements it contains.

6/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} Each nonempty set has two particular
elements called the <first element> and the <last element> (which may be
the same).  Each element except for the last element has a <successor
element>.  If there are no other intervening operations, starting with
the first element and repeatedly going to the successor element will
visit each element in the set exactly once until the last element is
reached.  The exact definition of these terms is different for hashed
sets and ordered sets.

7/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} [Some operations of these generic
packages have access-to-subprogram parameters.  To ensure such
operations are well-defined, they guard against certain actions by the
designated subprogram.  In particular, some operations check for
"tampering with cursors" of a container because they depend on the set
of elements of the container remaining constant, and others check for
"tampering with elements" of a container because they depend on elements
of the container not being replaced.]

8/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} A subprogram is said to <tamper with
cursors> of a set object <S> if:

9/2
   * it inserts or deletes elements of <S>, that is, it calls the
     Insert, Include, Clear, Delete, Exclude, or Replace_Element
     procedures with <S> as a parameter; or

9.a/2
          To be honest: Operations which are defined to be equivalent to
          a call on one of these operations also are included.
          Similarly, operations which call one of these as part of their
          definition are included.

9.b/2
          Discussion: We have to include Replace_Element here because it
          might delete and reinsert the element if it moves in the set.
          That could change the order of iteration, which is what this
          check is designed to prevent.  Replace is also included, as it
          is defined in terms of Replace_Element.

10/2
   * it finalizes <S>; or

10.1/3
   * {<AI05-0001-1AI05-0001-1>} it calls the Assign procedure with <S>
     as the Target parameter; or

10.a/3
          Ramification: We don't need to explicitly mention
          assignment_statement, because that finalizes the target object
          as part of the operation, and finalization of an object is
          already defined as tampering with cursors.

11/2
   * it calls the Move procedure with <S> as a parameter; or

12/2
   * it calls one of the operations defined to tamper with cursors of
     <S>.

13/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} A subprogram is said to <tamper with
elements> of a set object <S> if:

14/2
   * it tampers with cursors of <S>.

14.a/2
          Reason: Complete replacement of an element can cause its
          memory to be deallocated while another operation is holding
          onto a reference to it.  That can't be allowed.  However, a
          simple modification of (part of) an element is not a problem,
          so Update_Element_Preserving_Key does not cause a problem.

14.b/2
          We don't need to list Replace and Replace_Element here because
          they are covered by "tamper with cursors".  For Set, "tamper
          with cursors" and "tamper with elements" are the same.  We
          leave both terms so that the rules for routines like Iterate
          and Query_Element are consistent across all containers.

14.1/4
{<AI05-0265-1AI05-0265-1>} {<AI12-0110-1AI12-0110-1>} When tampering
with cursors is <prohibited> for a particular set object <S>,
Program_Error is propagated by a call of any language-defined subprogram
that is defined to tamper with the cursors of <S>, leaving <S>
unmodified.  Similarly, when tampering with elements is <prohibited> for
a particular set object <S>, Program_Error is propagated by a call of
any language-defined subprogram that is defined to tamper with the
elements of <S> [(or tamper with the cursors of <S>)], leaving <S>
unmodified.  These checks are made before any other defined behavior of
the body of the language-defined subprogram.

14.c/3
          Proof: Tampering with elements includes tampering with
          cursors, so we mention it only from completeness in the second
          sentence.

15/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} Empty_Set represents the empty Set
object.  It has a length of 0.  If an object of type Set is not
otherwise initialized, it is initialized to the same value as Empty_Set.

16/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} No_Element represents a cursor that
designates no element.  If an object of type Cursor is not otherwise
initialized, it is initialized to the same value as No_Element.

17/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} The predefined "=" operator for type
Cursor returns True if both cursors are No_Element, or designate the
same element in the same container.

18/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} Execution of the default implementation
of the Input, Output, Read, or Write attribute of type Cursor raises
Program_Error.

18.a/2
          Reason: A cursor will probably be implemented in terms of one
          or more access values, and the effects of streaming access
          values is unspecified.  Rather than letting the user stream
          junk by accident, we mandate that streaming of cursors raise
          Program_Error by default.  The attributes can always be
          specified if there is a need to support streaming.

18.1/3
{<AI05-0001-1AI05-0001-1>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} Set'Write for a
Set object <S> writes Length(<S>) elements of the set to the stream.  It
also may write additional information about the set.

18.2/3
{<AI05-0001-1AI05-0001-1>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} Set'Read reads the
representation of a set from the stream, and assigns to <Item> a set
with the same length and elements as was written by Set'Write.

18.b/3
          Ramification: Streaming more elements than the container
          length is wrong.  For implementation implications of this
          rule, see the Implementation Note in *note A.18.2::.

18.3/3
     function Has_Element (Position : Cursor) return Boolean;

18.4/3
          {<AI05-0212-1AI05-0212-1>} Returns True if Position designates
          an element, and returns False otherwise.

18.c/3
          To be honest: {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>}
          {<AI05-0212-1AI05-0212-1>} This function might not detect
          cursors that designate deleted elements; such cursors are
          invalid (see below) and the result of calling Has_Element with
          an invalid cursor is unspecified (but not erroneous).

19/2
     function "=" (Left, Right : Set) return Boolean;

20/2
          {<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} If Left and Right denote the
          same set object, then the function returns True.  If Left and
          Right have different lengths, then the function returns False.
          Otherwise, for each element <E> in Left, the function returns
          False if an element equal to <E> (using the generic formal
          equality operator) is not present in Right.  If the function
          has not returned a result after checking all of the elements,
          it returns True.  Any exception raised during evaluation of
          element equality is propagated.

20.a/2
          Implementation Note: This wording describes the canonical
          semantics.  However, the order and number of calls on the
          formal equality function is unspecified for all of the
          operations that use it in this package, so an implementation
          can call it as many or as few times as it needs to get the
          correct answer.  Specifically, there is no requirement to call
          the formal equality additional times once the answer has been
          determined.

21/2
     function Equivalent_Sets (Left, Right : Set) return Boolean;

22/2
          {<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} If Left and Right denote the
          same set object, then the function returns True.  If Left and
          Right have different lengths, then the function returns False.
          Otherwise, for each element <E> in Left, the function returns
          False if an element equivalent to <E> is not present in Right.
          If the function has not returned a result after checking all
          of the elements, it returns True.  Any exception raised during
          evaluation of element equivalence is propagated.

23/2
     function To_Set (New_Item : Element_Type) return Set;

24/2
          {<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} Returns a set containing the
          single element New_Item.

25/2
     function Length (Container : Set) return Count_Type;

26/2
          {<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} Returns the number of elements
          in Container.

27/2
     function Is_Empty (Container : Set) return Boolean;

28/2
          {<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} Equivalent to Length
          (Container) = 0.

29/2
     procedure Clear (Container : in out Set);

30/2
          {<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} Removes all the elements from
          Container.

31/2
     function Element (Position : Cursor) return Element_Type;

32/2
          {<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} If Position equals No_Element,
          then Constraint_Error is propagated.  Otherwise, Element
          returns the element designated by Position.

33/2
     procedure Replace_Element (Container : in out Set;
                                Position  : in     Cursor;
                                New_Item  : in     Element_Type);

34/2
          {<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} If Position equals No_Element,
          then Constraint_Error is propagated; if Position does not
          designate an element in Container, then Program_Error is
          propagated.  If an element equivalent to New_Item is already
          present in Container at a position other than Position,
          Program_Error is propagated.  Otherwise, Replace_Element
          assigns New_Item to the element designated by Position.  Any
          exception raised by the assignment is propagated.

34.a/2
          Implementation Note: The final assignment may require that the
          node of the element be moved in the Set's data structures.
          That could mean that implementing this operation exactly as
          worded above could require the overhead of searching twice.
          Implementations are encouraged to avoid this extra overhead
          when possible, by prechecking if the old element is equivalent
          to the new one, by inserting a placeholder node while checking
          for an equivalent element, and similar optimizations.

34.b/2
          The cursor still designates the same element after this
          operation; only the value of that element has changed.
          Cursors cannot include information about the relative position
          of an element in a Set (as they must survive insertions and
          deletions of other elements), so this should not pose an
          implementation hardship.

35/2
     procedure Query_Element
       (Position : in Cursor;
        Process  : not null access procedure (Element : in Element_Type));

36/3
          {<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} {<AI05-0021-1AI05-0021-1>}
          {<AI05-0265-1AI05-0265-1>} If Position equals No_Element, then
          Constraint_Error is propagated.  Otherwise, Query_Element
          calls Process.all with the element designated by Position as
          the argument.  Tampering with the elements of the set that
          contains the element designated by Position is prohibited
          during the execution of the call on Process.all.  Any
          exception raised by Process.all is propagated.

36.1/3
     type Constant_Reference_Type
           (Element : not null access constant Element_Type) is private
        with Implicit_Dereference => Element;

36.2/3
          {<AI05-0212-1AI05-0212-1>} The type Constant_Reference_Type
          needs finalization.

36.3/3
          The default initialization of an object of type
          Constant_Reference_Type propagates Program_Error.

36.a/3
          Reason: It is expected that Constant_Reference_Type will be a
          controlled type, for which finalization will have some action
          to terminate the tampering check for the associated container.
          If the object is created by default, however, there is no
          associated container.  Since this is useless, and supporting
          this case would take extra work, we define it to raise an
          exception.

36.4/3
     function Constant_Reference (Container : aliased in Set;
                                  Position  : in Cursor)
        return Constant_Reference_Type;

36.5/3
          {<AI05-0212-1AI05-0212-1>} {<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>} This
          function (combined with the Constant_Indexing and
          Implicit_Dereference aspects) provides a convenient way to
          gain read access to an individual element of a set given a
          cursor.

36.6/3
          {<AI05-0212-1AI05-0212-1>} {<AI05-0265-1AI05-0265-1>} If
          Position equals No_Element, then Constraint_Error is
          propagated; if Position does not designate an element in
          Container, then Program_Error is propagated.  Otherwise,
          Constant_Reference returns an object whose discriminant is an
          access value that designates the element designated by
          Position.  Tampering with the elements of Container is
          prohibited while the object returned by Constant_Reference
          exists and has not been finalized.

36.7/3
     procedure Assign (Target : in out Set; Source : in Set);

36.8/3
          {<AI05-0001-1AI05-0001-1>} {<AI05-0248-1AI05-0248-1>} If
          Target denotes the same object as Source, the operation has no
          effect.  Otherwise, the elements of Source are copied to
          Target as for an assignment_statement assigning Source to
          Target.

36.b/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} This routine exists for
          compatibility with the bounded set containers.  For an
          unbounded set, Assign(A, B) and A := B behave identically.
          For a bounded set, := will raise an exception if the container
          capacities are different, while Assign will not raise an
          exception if there is enough room in the target.

37/2
     procedure Move (Target : in out Set;
                     Source : in out Set);

38/3
          {<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} {<AI05-0001-1AI05-0001-1>}
          {<AI05-0248-1AI05-0248-1>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} If
          Target denotes the same object as Source, then the operation
          has no effect.  Otherwise, the operation is equivalent to
          Assign (Target, Source) followed by Clear (Source).

39/2
     procedure Insert (Container : in out Set;

                       Inserted  :    out Boolean);

40/2
          {<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} Insert checks if an element
          equivalent to New_Item is already present in Container.  If a
          match is found, Inserted is set to False and Position
          designates the matching element.  Otherwise, Insert adds
          New_Item to Container; Inserted is set to True and Position
          designates the newly-inserted element.  Any exception raised
          during allocation is propagated and Container is not modified.

41/2
     procedure Insert (Container : in out Set;

42/2
          {<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} Insert inserts New_Item into
          Container as per the four-parameter Insert, with the
          difference that if an element equivalent to New_Item is
          already in the set, then Constraint_Error is propagated.

42.a/2
          Discussion: This is equivalent to:

42.b/2
               declare
                 Inserted : Boolean; C : Cursor;
               begin
                 Insert (Container, New_Item, C, Inserted);
                 if not Inserted then
                    raise Constraint_Error;
                 end if;
               end;

42.c/2
          but doesn't require the hassle of out parameters.

43/2
     procedure Include (Container : in out Set;
                        New_Item  : in     Element_Type);

44/2
          {<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} Include inserts New_Item into
          Container as per the four-parameter Insert, with the
          difference that if an element equivalent to New_Item is
          already in the set, then it is replaced.  Any exception raised
          during assignment is propagated.

45/2
     procedure Replace (Container : in out Set;
                        New_Item  : in     Element_Type);

46/2
          {<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} Replace checks if an element
          equivalent to New_Item is already in the set.  If a match is
          found, that element is replaced with New_Item; otherwise,
          Constraint_Error is propagated.

47/2
     procedure Exclude (Container : in out Set;
                        Item      : in     Element_Type);

48/2
          {<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} Exclude checks if an element
          equivalent to Item is present in Container.  If a match is
          found, Exclude removes the element from the set.

49/2
     procedure Delete (Container : in out Set;

50/2
          {<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} Delete checks if an element
          equivalent to Item is present in Container.  If a match is
          found, Delete removes the element from the set; otherwise,
          Constraint_Error is propagated.

52/2
          {<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} If Position equals No_Element,
          then Constraint_Error is propagated.  If Position does not
          designate an element in Container, then Program_Error is
          propagated.  Otherwise, Delete removes the element designated
          by Position from the set.  Position is set to No_Element on
          return.

52.a/2
          Ramification: The check on Position checks that the cursor
          does not belong to some other set.  This check implies that a
          reference to the set is included in the cursor value.  This
          wording is not meant to require detection of dangling cursors;
          such cursors are defined to be invalid, which means that
          execution is erroneous, and any result is allowed (including
          not raising an exception).

54.a/2
          Implementation Note: If the objects are the same, the result

          Tampering with the cursors of Container is prohibited during

          by Process.all is propagated.

86.a/2
          Implementation Note: The "tamper with cursors" check takes
          place when the operations that insert or delete elements, and
          so on are called.

87/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} Both Containers.Hashed_Set and
Containers.Ordered_Set declare a nested generic package Generic_Keys,
which provides operations that allow set manipulation in terms of a key
(typically, a portion of an element) instead of a complete element.  The
formal function Key of Generic_Keys extracts a key value from an
element.  It is expected to return the same value each time it is called
with a particular element.  The behavior of Generic_Keys is unspecified
if Key behaves in some other manner.

88/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} A key is expected to unambiguously
determine a single equivalence class for elements.  The behavior of

          propagated; if Position does not designate an element in

          Update_Element_Preserving_Key uses Key to save the key value
          <K> of the element designated by Position.
          Update_Element_Preserving_Key then calls Process.all with that
          element as the argument.  Tampering with the elements of
          Container is prohibited during the execution of the call on
          Process.all.  Any exception raised by Process.all is
          propagated.  After Process.all returns,
          Update_Element_Preserving_Key checks if <K> determines the
          same equivalence class as that for the new element; if not,
          the element is removed from the set and Program_Error is
          propagated.

95.a/2
          Reason: The key check ensures that the invariants of the set
          are preserved by the modification.  The "tampers with the
          elements" check prevents data loss (if Element_Type is
          by-copy) or erroneous execution (if element type is
          unconstrained and indefinite).

96/2
          If Element_Type is unconstrained and definite, then the actual
          Element parameter of Process.all shall be unconstrained.

96.a/2
          Ramification: This means that the elements cannot be directly
          allocated from the heap; it must be possible to change the
          discriminants of the element in place.

          propagated; if Position does not designate an element in

          Reference_Preserving_Key uses Key to save the key value <K>;
          then returns an object whose discriminant is an access value
          that designates the element designated by Position.  Tampering
          with the elements of Container is prohibited while the object
          returned by Reference_Preserving_Key exists and has not been
          finalized.  When the object returned by
          Reference_Preserving_Key is finalized, a check is made if <K>
          determines the same equivalence class as that for the new
          element; if not, the element is removed from the set and

96.13/3
{<AI05-0022-1AI05-0022-1>} {<AI05-0248-1AI05-0248-1>} It is a bounded
error for the actual function associated with a generic formal
subprogram, when called as part of an operation of a set package, to
tamper with elements of any set parameter of the operation.  Either
Program_Error is raised, or the operation works as defined on the value
of the set either prior to, or subsequent to, some or all of the
modifications to the set.

96.14/3
{<AI05-0027-1AI05-0027-1>} It is a bounded error to call any subprogram
declared in the visible part of a set package when the associated
container has been finalized.  If the operation takes Container as an in
out parameter, then it raises Constraint_Error or Program_Error.
Otherwise, the operation either proceeds as it would for an empty
container, or it raises Constraint_Error or Program_Error.

                         _Erroneous Execution_

97/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} A Cursor value is <invalid> if any of the
following have occurred since it was created: 

98/2
   * The set that contains the element it designates has been finalized;

98.1/3
   * {<AI05-0160-1AI05-0160-1>} The set that contains the element it
     designates has been used as the Target of a call to Assign, or as
     the target of an assignment_statement;

99/2
   * The set that contains the element it designates has been used as
     the Source or Target of a call to Move; or

100/3
   * {<AI05-0160-1AI05-0160-1>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} The element
     it designates has been removed from the set that previously
     contained the element.

100.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0160-1AI05-0160-1>} This can happen
          directly via calls to Clear, Exclude, Delete, and
          Update_Element_Preserving_Key, and indirectly via calls to
          procedures Intersection, Difference, and Symmetric_Difference.

101/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} The result of "=" or Has_Element is
unspecified if these functions are called with an invalid cursor
parameter.  Execution is erroneous if any other subprogram declared in
Containers.Hashed_Sets or Containers.Ordered_Sets is called with an
invalid cursor parameter.

101.a/2
          Discussion: The list above is intended to be exhaustive.  In
          other cases, a cursor value continues to designate its
          original element.  For instance, cursor values survive the
          insertion and deletion of other elements.

101.b/2
          While it is possible to check for these cases, in many cases
          the overhead necessary to make the check is substantial in
          time or space.  Implementations are encouraged to check for as
          many of these cases as possible and raise Program_Error if
          detected.

101.1/3
{<AI05-0212-1AI05-0212-1>} Execution is erroneous if the set associated
with the result of a call to Reference or Constant_Reference is
finalized before the result object returned by the call to Reference or
Constant_Reference is finalized.

101.c/3
          Reason: Each object of Reference_Type and
          Constant_Reference_Type probably contains some reference to
          the originating container.  If that container is prematurely
          finalized (which is only possible via Unchecked_Deallocation,
          as accessibility checks prevent passing a container to
          Reference that will not live as long as the result), the
          finalization of the object of Reference_Type will try to
          access a nonexistent object.  This is a normal case of a
          dangling pointer created by Unchecked_Deallocation; we have to
          explicitly mention it here as the pointer in question is not
          visible in the specification of the type.  (This is the same
          reason we have to say this for invalid cursors.)

                     _Implementation Requirements_

102/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} No storage associated with a Set object
shall be lost upon assignment or scope exit.

103/3
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} The execution
of an assignment_statement for a set shall have the effect of copying
the elements from the source set object to the target set object and
changing the length of the target object to that of the source object.

103.a/3
          Implementation Note: {<AI05-0298-1AI05-0298-1>} An assignment
          of a Set is a "deep" copy; that is the elements are copied as
          well as the data structures.  We say "effect of" in order to
          allow the implementation to avoid copying elements immediately
          if it wishes.  For instance, an implementation that avoided
          copying until one of the containers is modified would be
          allowed.  (Note that this implementation would require care,
          see *note A.18.2:: for more.)

                        _Implementation Advice_

104/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} Move should not copy elements, and should
minimize copying of internal data structures.

104.a/2
          Implementation Advice: Move for sets should not copy elements,
          and should minimize copying of internal data structures.

104.b/2
          Implementation Note: Usually that can be accomplished simply
          by moving the pointer(s) to the internal data structures from
          the Source container to the Target container.

105/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} If an exception is propagated from a set
operation, no storage should be lost, nor any elements removed from a
set unless specified by the operation.

          Implementation Advice: If an exception is propagated from a
          set operation, no storage should be lost, nor any elements
          removed from a set unless specified by the operation.

105.b/2
          Reason: This is important so that programs can recover from
          errors.  But we don't want to require heroic efforts, so we
          just require documentation of cases where this can't be
          accomplished.

72/2
          {<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} Reserve_Capacity allocates a
          new hash table such that the length of the resulting set can
          become at least the value Capacity without requiring an
          additional call to Reserve_Capacity, and is large enough to
          hold the current length of Container.  Reserve_Capacity then
          rehashes the elements in Container onto the new hash table.
          It replaces the old hash table with the new hash table, and
          then deallocates the old hash table.  Any exception raised
          during allocation is propagated and Container is not modified.

73/2
          Reserve_Capacity tampers with the cursors of Container.

73.a/2
          Reason: Reserve_Capacity tampers with the cursors, as
          rehashing probably will change the relationships of the
          elements in Container.

Reserve_Capacity should be <O>(<N>).

88.a/2
          Implementation Advice: The average time complexity of the
          Insert, Include, Replace, Delete, Exclude and Find operations
          of Containers.Hashed_Sets that take an element parameter
          should be <O>(log <N>).  The average time complexity of the
          subprograms of Containers.Hashed_Sets that take a cursor
          parameter should be <O>(1).  The average time complexity of
          Containers.Hashed_Sets.Reserve_Capacity should be <O>(<N>).

                   _Incompatibilities With Ada 2005_

88.d/3
          {<AI05-0001-1AI05-0001-1>} Subprograms Assign and Copy are
          added to Containers.Hashed_Sets.  If an instance of
          Containers.Hashed_Sets is referenced in a use_clause, and an
          entity <E> with the same defining_identifier as a new entity
          in Containers.Hashed_Sets is defined in a package that is also
          referenced in a use_clause, the entity <E> may no longer be
          use-visible, resulting in errors.  This should be rare and is
          easily fixed if it does occur.

88.e/3
          {<AI05-0212-1AI05-0212-1>} Added iterator and indexing support
          to make hashed set containers more convenient to use.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

88.f/3
          {<AI05-0044-1AI05-0044-1>} Correction: Added wording to
          require the formal function be such that equal elements are
          also equivalent.

88.g/3
          {<AI05-0084-1AI05-0084-1>} Correction: Added a pragma
          Remote_Types so that containers can be used in distributed
          programs.

          object needs finalization.

113.a/3
          Discussion: Exits are allowed from the loops created using the
          iterator objects.  In particular, to stop the iteration at a
          particular cursor, just add

113.b/3
               exit when Cur = Stop;

113.c/3
          in the body of the loop (assuming that Cur is the loop
          parameter and Stop is the cursor that you want to stop at).

{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} For any two elements <E1> and <E2>, the
boolean values (<E1> < <E2>) and (Key(<E1>) < Key(<E2>)) are expected to
be equal.  If the actuals for Key or Generic_Keys."<" behave in some
other manner, the behavior of this package is unspecified.  Which
subprograms of this package call Key and Generic_Keys."<", and how many
times the functions are called, is unspecified.

115/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} In addition to the semantics described in
*note A.18.7::, the subprograms in package Generic_Keys named Floor and
Ceiling, are equivalent to the corresponding subprograms in the parent
package, with the difference that the Key subprogram parameter is
compared to elements in the container using the Key and "<" generic
formal functions.  The function named Equivalent_Keys in package
Generic_Keys returns True if both Left < Right and Right < Left return
False using the generic formal "<" operator, and returns True otherwise.

116/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} If <N> is the length of a set, then the
worst-case time complexity of the Insert, Include, Replace, Delete,

<O>((log <N>)**2) or better.  The worst-case time complexity of the
subprograms that take a cursor parameter should be <O>(1).

116.a/2
          Implementation Advice: The worst-case time complexity of the
          Insert, Include, Replace, Delete, Exclude and Find operations
          of Containers.Ordered_Sets that take an element parameter
          should be <O>((log <N>)**2).  The worst-case time complexity
          of the subprograms of Containers.Ordered_Sets that take a
          cursor parameter should be <O>(1).

116.d/3
          {<AI05-0001-1AI05-0001-1>} Subprograms Assign and Copy are
          added to Containers.Ordered_Sets.  If an instance of
          Containers.Ordered_Sets is referenced in a use_clause, and an
          entity <E> with the same defining_identifier as a new entity
          in Containers.Ordered_Sets is defined in a package that is
          also referenced in a use_clause, the entity <E> may no longer
          be use-visible, resulting in errors.  This should be rare and
          is easily fixed if it does occur.

116.e/3
          {<AI05-0212-1AI05-0212-1>} Added iterator and indexing support

116.f/3
          {<AI05-0044-1AI05-0044-1>} Correction: Added wording to
          require the formal function be such that equal elements are
          also equivalent.

116.g/3
          {<AI05-0044-1AI05-0044-1>} Correction: Redefined "<" actuals
          to require a strict weak ordering; the old definition allowed
          indeterminant comparisons that would not have worked in a
          container.

116.h/3
          {<AI05-0084-1AI05-0084-1>} Correction: Added a pragma
          Remote_Types so that containers can be used in distributed
          programs.

A.18.10 The Generic Package Containers.Multiway_Trees
-----------------------------------------------------

1/3
{<AI05-0136-1AI05-0136-1>} The language-defined generic package
Containers.Multiway_Trees provides private types Tree and Cursor, and a
set of operations for each type.  A multiway tree container is
well-suited to represent nested structures.

1.a/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0136-1AI05-0136-1>} This tree just provides
          a basic structure, and make no promises about balancing or
          other automatic organization.  In this sense, it is different
          than the indexed (Map, Set) forms.  Rather, it provides a
          building block on which to construct more complex and more
          specialized tree containers.

2/4
{<AI05-0136-1AI05-0136-1>} {<AI12-0078-1AI12-0078-1>}
{<AI12-0159-1AI12-0159-1>} A multiway tree container object manages a
tree of <nodes>, consisting of a <root node> and a set of <internal
nodes>; each internal node contains an element and pointers to the
parent, first child, last child, next (successor) sibling, and previous
(predecessor) sibling internal nodes.  A cursor designates a particular
node within a tree (and by extension the element contained in that node,
if any).  A cursor keeps designating the same node (and element) as long
as the node is part of the container, even if the node is moved within
the container.

3/4
{<AI05-0136-1AI05-0136-1>} {<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>}
{<AI12-0078-1AI12-0078-1>} A <subtree> is a particular node (which
<roots the subtree>) and all of its child nodes (including all of the
children of the child nodes, recursively).  The root node is always
present and has neither an associated element value nor any parent node;
it has pointers to its first child and its last child, if any.  The root
node provides a place to add nodes to an otherwise empty tree and
represents the base of the tree.

4/3
{<AI05-0136-1AI05-0136-1>} {<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>} A node that has no
children is called a <leaf node>.  The <ancestors> of a node are the
node itself, its parent node, the parent of the parent node, and so on
until a node with no parent is reached.  Similarly, the <descendants> of
a node are the node itself, its child nodes, the children of each child
node, and so on.

5/3
{<AI05-0136-1AI05-0136-1>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>}
{<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>} The nodes of a subtree can be visited in
several different orders.  For a <depth-first order>, after visiting a
node, the nodes of its child list are each visited in depth-first order,
with each child node visited in natural order (first child to last
child).

5.a/3
          Ramification: For the depth-first order, when each child node
          is visited, the child list of the child node is visited before
          the next sibling of the child node is visited.

73/3

{<AI05-0136-1AI05-0136-1>} {<AI05-0248-1AI05-0248-1>} Empty_Tree

Empty_Tree.

{<AI05-0136-1AI05-0136-1>} [Some operations of this generic package have
access-to-subprogram parameters.  To ensure such operations are
well-defined, they guard against certain actions by the designated
subprogram.  In particular, some operations check for "tampering with
cursors" of a container because they depend on the set of elements of
the container remaining constant, and others check for "tampering with
elements" of a container because they depend on elements of the
container not being replaced.]

81/3
{<AI05-0136-1AI05-0136-1>} A subprogram is said to <tamper with cursors>
of a tree object <T> if:

82/3
   * it inserts or deletes elements of <T>, that is, it calls the Clear,
     Delete_Leaf, Insert_Child, Delete_Children, Delete_Subtree, or
     Copy_Subtree procedures with <T> as a parameter; or

82.a/3
          To be honest: Operations which are defined to be equivalent to
          a call on one of these operations also are included.
          Similarly, operations which call one of these as part of their
          definition are included.

83/3
   * {<AI05-0136-1AI05-0136-1>} {<AI05-0248-1AI05-0248-1>} it reorders
     the elements of <T>, that is, it calls the Splice_Subtree or
     Splice_Children procedures with <T> as a parameter; or

84/3
   * it finalizes <T>; or

85/3
   * it calls Assign with <T> as the Target parameter; or

85.a.1/3
          Ramification: We don't need to explicitly mention
          assignment_statement, because that finalizes the target object
          as part of the operation, and finalization of an object is
          already defined as tampering with cursors.

86/3
   * it calls the Move procedure with <T> as a parameter.

86.a/3
          Reason: Swap copies elements rather than reordering them, so
          it doesn't tamper with cursors.

87/3
{<AI05-0136-1AI05-0136-1>} A subprogram is said to <tamper with
elements> of a tree object <T> if:

88/3
   * it tampers with cursors of <T>; or

89/3
   * it replaces one or more elements of <T>, that is, it calls the
     Replace_Element or Swap procedures with <T> as a parameter.

89.a/3
          Reason: Complete replacement of an element can cause its
          memory to be deallocated while another operation is holding
          onto a reference to it.  That can't be allowed.  However, a
          simple modification of (part of) an element is not a problem,
          so Update_Element does not cause a problem.

89.a.1/3
          Ramification: Assign is defined in terms of Clear and
          Replace_Element, so we don't need to mention it explicitly.
          Similarly, we don't need to explicitly mention
          assignment_statement, because that finalizes the target object
          as part of the operation, and finalization of an object is
          already defined as tampering with the element.

{<AI05-0265-1AI05-0265-1>} {<AI12-0110-1AI12-0110-1>} When tampering
with cursors is <prohibited> for a particular tree object <T>,
Program_Error is propagated by a call of any language-defined subprogram
that is defined to tamper with the cursors of <T>, leaving <T>
unmodified.  Similarly, when tampering with elements is <prohibited> for
a particular tree object <T>, Program_Error is propagated by a call of
any language-defined subprogram that is defined to tamper with the
elements of <T> [(or tamper with the cursors of <T>)], leaving <T>
unmodified.  These checks are made before any other defined behavior of
the body of the language-defined subprogram.

90.a/3
          Proof: Tampering with elements includes tampering with
          cursors, so we mention it only from completeness in the second
          sentence.

91/3
     function Has_Element (Position : Cursor) return Boolean;

92/3
          Returns True if Position designates an element, and returns
          False otherwise.  [In particular, Has_Element returns False if
          the cursor designates a root node or equals No_Element.]

92.a/3
          To be honest: {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>}
          {<AI05-0136-1AI05-0136-1>} This function might not detect
          cursors that designate deleted elements; such cursors are
          invalid (see below) and the result of calling Has_Element with
          an invalid cursor is unspecified (but not erroneous).

          {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} If
          Left_Position or Right_Position equals No_Element, propagates
          Constraint_Error.  If the number of child nodes of the element
          designated by Left_Position is different from the number of
          child nodes of the element designated by Right_Position, the
          function returns False.  If Left_Position designates a root
          node and Right_Position does not, the function returns False.
          If Right_Position designates a root node and Left_Position
          does not, the function returns False.  Unless both cursors
          designate a root node, the elements are compared using the
          generic formal equality operator.  If the result of the
          element comparison is False, the function returns False.
          Otherwise, it calls Equal_Subtree on a cursor designating each
          child element of the element designated by Left_Position and a
          cursor designating the corresponding child element of the
          element designated by Right_Position.  If any such call
          returns False, the function returns False; otherwise, it
          returns True.  Any exception raised during the evaluation of
          element equality is propagated.

94.a/3
          Ramification: Left_Position and Right_Position do not need to
          be from the same tree.

94.b/3
          Implementation Note: This wording describes the canonical
          semantics.  However, the order and number of calls on the
          formal equality function is unspecified for all of the
          operations that use it in this package, so an implementation
          can call it as many or as few times as it needs to get the
          correct answer.  Similarly, a global rule (see the
          introduction of *note Annex A::) says that language-defined
          routines are not affected by overriding of other
          language-defined routines.  This means that no reasonable
          program can tell how many times Equal_Subtree is called, and
          thus an implementation can call it as many or as few times as
          it needs to get the correct answer.  Specifically, there is no
          requirement to call the formal equality or Equal_Subtree
          additional times once the answer has been determined.

          and Right denote the same tree object, then the function
          returns True.  Otherwise, it calls Equal_Subtree with cursors
          designating the root nodes of Left and Right; the result is
          returned.  Any exception raised during the evaluation of
          Equal_Subtree is propagated.

96.a/3
          Implementation Note: Similar considerations apply here as
          apply to Equal_Subtree.  The actual number of calls performed
          is unspecified.

98.a/3
          Ramification: Since all tree objects have a root node, this

108.a/3
          Ramification: Is_Leaf returns False if passed No_Element,

121.a/3
          Ramification: This means that the elements cannot be directly
          allocated from the heap; it must be possible to change the
          discriminants of the element in place.

124/3
          {<AI05-0212-1AI05-0212-1>} The types Constant_Reference_Type

125/3
          The default initialization of an object of type
          Constant_Reference_Type or Reference_Type propagates
          Program_Error.

125.a/3
          Reason: It is expected that Reference_Type (and
          Constant_Reference_Type) will be a controlled type, for which
          finalization will have some action to terminate the tampering
          check for the associated container.  If the object is created
          by default, however, there is no associated container.  Since
          this is useless, and supporting this case would take extra
          work, we define it to raise an exception.

          cursor.

128/3

          propagated; if Position does not designate an element in
          Container, then Program_Error is propagated.  Otherwise,
          Constant_Reference returns an object whose discriminant is an
          access value that designates the element designated by
          Position.  Tampering with the elements of Container is

          Target denotes the same object as Source, the operation has no
          effect.  Otherwise, the elements of Source are copied to
          Target as for an assignment_statement assigning Source to
          Target.

133.a/3
          Ramification: Each element in Target has a parent element that
          corresponds to the parent element of the Source element, and
          has child elements that correspond to the child elements of
          the Source element.

133.b/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} This routine exists for
          compatibility with the bounded tree container.  For an
          unbounded tree, Assign(A, B) and A := B behave identically.
          For a bounded tree, := will raise an exception if the
          container capacities are different, while Assign will not
          raise an exception if there is enough room in the target.

          Target denotes the same object as Source, then the operation
          has no effect.  Otherwise, Move first calls Clear (Target).
          Then, the nodes other than the root node in Source are moved
          to Target (in the same positions).  After Move completes,
          Node_Count (Target) is the number of nodes originally in
          Source, and Node_Count (Source) is 1.

138/3
     procedure Delete_Leaf (Container : in out Tree;

139/3
          {<AI05-0136-1AI05-0136-1>} {<AI05-0248-1AI05-0248-1>} If
          Position equals No_Element, then Constraint_Error is
          propagated; if Position does not designate an element in
          Container (including if it designates the root node), then
          Program_Error is propagated.  If the element designated by
          position has any child elements, then Constraint_Error is
          propagated.  Otherwise, Delete_Leaf removes (from Container)
          the element designated by Position.  Finally, Position is set
          to No_Element.

139.a/3
          Ramification: The check on Position checks that the cursor
          does not belong to some other Container.  This check implies
          that a reference to the container is included in the cursor
          value.  This wording is not meant to require detection of
          dangling cursors; such cursors are defined to be invalid,
          which means that execution is erroneous, and any result is
          allowed (including not raising an exception).

          Constraint_Error is propagated.  If Position does not
          designate an element in Container (including if it designates
          the root node), then Program_Error is propagated.  Otherwise,
          Delete_Subtree removes (from Container) the subtree designated
          by Position (that is, all descendants of the node designated
          by Position including the node itself), and Position is set to
          No_Element.

141.a/3
          Ramification: The root node cannot be deleted.  To delete the
          entire contents of the tree, call Clear(Container).

142/3
     procedure Swap (Container : in out Tree;
                     I, J      : in     Cursor);

143/3
          {<AI05-0136-1AI05-0136-1>} If either I or J equals No_Element,
          then Constraint_Error is propagated.  If either I or J do not
          designate an element in Container (including if either
          designates the root node), then Program_Error is propagated.
          Otherwise, Swap exchanges the values of the elements
          designated by I and J.

143.a/3
          Ramification: After a call to Swap, I designates the element
          value previously designated by J, and J designates the element
          value previously designated by I. The position of the elements
          do not change; for instance, the parent node and the first
          child node of I are unchanged by the operation.

143.b/3
          The root nodes do not contain element values, so they cannot
          be swapped.

143.c/3
          To be honest: The implementation is not required to actually
          copy the elements if it can do the swap some other way.  But
          it is allowed to copy the elements if needed.

          depth-first order.  If no equal element is found, then Find

          subtree rooted by Position for an element equal to Item (using

          the element designated by Position.  The search traverses the
          subtree in a depth-first order.  If no equal element is found,
          then Find returns No_Element.  Otherwise, it returns a cursor
          designating the first equal element encountered.

147.a/3
          Ramification: Find_In_Subtree does not check any siblings of
          the element designated by Position.  The root node does not
          contain an element, and therefore it can never be returned,
          but it can be explicitly passed to Position.

          equal to Item (using the generic formal equality operator).
          The search starts at the node designated by Position, and
          checks each ancestor proceeding toward the root of the
          subtree.  If no equal element is found, then Ancestor_Find
          returns No_Element.  Otherwise, it returns a cursor

153.a/3
          Ramification: Process is not called with the root node, which
          does not have an associated element.

153.b/3
          Implementation Note: The purpose of the tamper with cursors
          check is to prevent erroneous execution from the Position
          parameter of Process.all becoming invalid.  This check takes
          place when the operations that tamper with the cursors of the
          container are called.  The check cannot be made later (say in
          the body of Iterate), because that could cause the Position
          cursor to be invalid and potentially cause execution to become
          erroneous -- defeating the purpose of the check.

          the Source subtree, with each element initialized from the

177.a/3
          Discussion: We only need one routine here, as the source
          object is not modified, so we can use the same routine for
          both copying within and between containers.

177.b/3
          Ramification: We do not allow copying a subtree that includes
          a root node, as that would require inserting a node with no
          value in the middle of the target tree.  To copy an entire

          the node designated by Before, then Constraint_Error is

          is propagated.  If Position does not designate a node in

          then: if Position equals Before there is no effect; if
          Position designates an ancestor of Parent (including Parent
          itself), Constraint_Error is propagated; otherwise, the
          subtree rooted by the element designated by Position is moved
          to be a child of Parent.  If Parent already has child nodes,
          then the moved nodes are inserted prior to the node designated
          by Before, or, if Before equals No_Element, the moved nodes
          are inserted after the last existing child node of Parent.  In
          each of these cases, Position and the count of Target are
          unchanged, and the parent of the element designated by
          Position is set to Parent.

179.a/3
          Reason: We can't allow moving the subtree of Position to a
          proper descendant node of the subtree, as the descendant node
          will be part of the subtree being moved.  The result would be
          a circularly linked tree, or one with inaccessible nodes.
          Thus we have to check Position against Parent, even though
          such a check is <O>(Depth(Source)).

          Otherwise (if Source does not denote the same object as
          Target), the subtree designated by Position is removed from
          Source and moved to Target.  The subtree is inserted as a
          child of Parent.  If Parent already has child nodes, then the
          moved nodes are inserted prior to the node designated by
          Before, or, if Before equals No_Element, the moved nodes are
          inserted after the last existing child node of Parent.  In
          each of these cases, the count of Target is incremented by
          Subtree_Node_Count (Position), and the count of Source is
          decremented by Subtree_Node_Count (Position), Position is
          updated to represent an element in Target.

180.a/3
          Ramification: If Source is the same as Target, and Position =
          Before, or Next_Sibling(Position) = Before, Splice_Subtree has
          no effect, as the subtree does not have to move to meet the
          postcondition.

180.b/3
          We do not allow splicing a subtree that includes a root node,
          as that would require inserting a node with no value in the
          middle of the target tree.  Splice the children of the root
          node instead.

180.c/3
          For this reason there is no operation to splice an entire
          tree, as that would necessarily involve splicing a root node.

          object).  The iterator object needs finalization.

                      _Bounded (Run-Time) Errors_

220/3
{<AI05-0136-1AI05-0136-1>} {<AI05-0248-1AI05-0248-1>} It is a bounded
error for the actual function associated with a generic formal
subprogram, when called as part of an operation of this package, to
tamper with elements of any Tree parameter of the operation.  Either
Program_Error is raised, or the operation works as defined on the value
of the Tree either prior to, or subsequent to, some or all of the
modifications to the Tree.

221/3
{<AI05-0136-1AI05-0136-1>} It is a bounded error to call any subprogram
declared in the visible part of Containers.Multiway_Trees when the
associated container has been finalized.  If the operation takes
Container as an in out parameter, then it raises Constraint_Error or
Program_Error.  Otherwise, the operation either proceeds as it would for
an empty container, or it raises Constraint_Error or Program_Error.

                         _Erroneous Execution_

222/3
{<AI05-0136-1AI05-0136-1>} A Cursor value is <invalid> if any of the
following have occurred since it was created: 

223/3
   * The tree that contains the element it designates has been
     finalized;

224/3
   * The tree that contains the element it designates has been used as
     the Source or Target of a call to Move;

225/3
   * The tree that contains the element it designates has been used as
     the Target of a call to Assign or the target of an
     assignment_statement;

226/3
   * The element it designates has been removed from the tree that
     previously contained the element.

226.a/3
          Reason: We talk about which tree the element was removed from
          in order to handle splicing nodes from one tree to another.
          The node still exists, but any cursors that designate it in
          the original tree are now invalid.  This bullet covers
          removals caused by calls to Clear, Delete_Leaf,
          Delete_Subtree, Delete_Children, Splice_Children, and
          Splice_Subtree.

227/3
The result of "=" or Has_Element is unspecified if it is called with an
invalid cursor parameter.  Execution is erroneous if any other
subprogram declared in Containers.Multiway_Trees is called with an
invalid cursor parameter.

227.a/3
          Discussion: The list above is intended to be exhaustive.  In
          other cases, a cursor value continues to designate its
          original element (or the root node).  For instance, cursor
          values survive the insertion and deletion of other nodes.

227.b/3
          While it is possible to check for these cases, in many cases
          the overhead necessary to make the check is substantial in
          time or space.  Implementations are encouraged to check for as
          many of these cases as possible and raise Program_Error if
          detected.

228/3
{<AI05-0212-1AI05-0212-1>} Execution is erroneous if the tree associated
with the result of a call to Reference or Constant_Reference is
finalized before the result object returned by the call to Reference or
Constant_Reference is finalized.

228.a/3
          Reason: Each object of Reference_Type and
          Constant_Reference_Type probably contains some reference to
          the originating container.  If that container is prematurely
          finalized (which is only possible via Unchecked_Deallocation,
          as accessibility checks prevent passing a container to
          Reference that will not live as long as the result), the
          finalization of the object of Reference_Type will try to
          access a nonexistent object.  This is a normal case of a
          dangling pointer created by Unchecked_Deallocation; we have to
          explicitly mention it here as the pointer in question is not
          visible in the specification of the type.  (This is the same
          reason we have to say this for invalid cursors.)

                     _Implementation Requirements_

229/3
{<AI05-0136-1AI05-0136-1>} No storage associated with a multiway tree
object shall be lost upon assignment or scope exit.

230/3
{<AI05-0136-1AI05-0136-1>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} The execution of
an assignment_statement for a tree shall have the effect of copying the
elements from the source tree object to the target tree object and
changing the node count of the target object to that of the source
object.

230.a/3
          Implementation Note: {<AI05-0298-1AI05-0298-1>} An assignment
          of a Tree is a "deep" copy; that is the elements are copied as
          well the data structures.  We say "effect of" in order to
          allow the implementation to avoid copying elements immediately
          if it wishes.  For instance, an implementation that avoided
          copying until one of the containers is modified would be
          allowed.  (Note that this implementation would require care,
          see *note A.18.2:: for more.)

                        _Implementation Advice_

231/3
{<AI05-0136-1AI05-0136-1>} Containers.Multiway_Trees should be
implemented similarly to a multiway tree.  In particular, if <N> is the
overall number of nodes for a particular tree, then the worst-case time
complexity of Element, Parent, First_Child, Last_Child, Next_Sibling,
Previous_Sibling, Insert_Child with Count=1, and Delete should be
<O>(log <N>).

231.a/3
          Implementation Advice: The worst-case time complexity of the
          Element, Parent, First_Child, Last_Child, Next_Sibling,
          Previous_Sibling, Insert_Child with Count=1, and Delete
          operations of Containers.Multiway_Trees should be <O>(log
          <N>).

231.b/3
          Reason: We do not mean to overly constrain implementation
          strategies here.  However, it is important for portability
          that the performance of large containers has roughly the same
          factors on different implementations.  If a program is moved
          to an implementation that takes <O>(<N>) time to access
          elements, that program could be unusable when the trees are
          large.  We allow <O>(log <N>) access because the
          proportionality constant and caching effects are likely to be
          larger than the log factor, and we don't want to discourage
          innovative implementations.

232/3
{<AI05-0136-1AI05-0136-1>} Move should not copy elements, and should
minimize copying of internal data structures.

232.a/3
          Implementation Advice: Containers.Multiway_Trees.Move should
          not copy elements, and should minimize copying of internal
          data structures.

232.b/3
          Implementation Note: Usually that can be accomplished simply
          by moving the pointer(s) to the internal data structures from
          the Source container to the Target container.

233/3
{<AI05-0136-1AI05-0136-1>} If an exception is propagated from a tree
operation, no storage should be lost, nor any elements removed from a
tree unless specified by the operation.

233.a/3
          Implementation Advice: If an exception is propagated from a
          tree operation, no storage should be lost, nor any elements
          removed from a tree unless specified by the operation.

233.b/3
          Reason: This is important so that programs can recover from
          errors.  But we don't want to require heroic efforts, so we
          just require documentation of cases where this can't be
          accomplished.

233.d/4
          {<AI12-0069-1AI12-0069-1>} Corrigendum: Fixed the function

233.e/4
          {<AI12-0078-1AI12-0078-1>} Corrigendum: The definition of
          <node> is clarified so that it it doesn't appear to say all
          nodes have an element.

233.f/4
          {<AI12-0110-1AI12-0110-1>} Corrigendum: Clarified that
          tampering checks precede all other checks made by a subprogram
          (but come after those associated with the call).

A.18.11 The Generic Package Containers.Indefinite_Vectors
---------------------------------------------------------

1/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} The language-defined generic package
Containers.Indefinite_Vectors provides a private type Vector and a set
of operations.  It provides the same operations as the package
Containers.Vectors (see *note A.18.2::), with the difference that the
generic formal Element_Type is indefinite.

7/2
     are omitted.

7.a/2
          Discussion: These procedures are omitted because there is no
          way to create a default-initialized object of an indefinite
          type.  Note that Insert_Space can be used instead of this
          routine in most cases.  Omitting the routine completely allows
          any problems to be diagnosed by the compiler when converting
          from a definite to indefinite vector.

8/2
   * The actual Element parameter of access subprogram Process of
     Update_Element may be constrained even if Element_Type is
     unconstrained.

9/4
   * {<AI12-0035-1AI12-0035-1>} The operations "&", Append, Insert,
     Prepend, Replace_Element, and To_Vector that have a formal

9.b/4
          {<AI12-0035-1AI12-0035-1>} Corrigendum: Defined some routines
          to "perform indefinite insertion".  This could mean that some
          calls to those routines would now raise Program_Error where
          they previously worked.  However, this is extremely unlikely,
          as it would require that the package was not implemented in
          Ada (an Ada allocator would raise Program_Error in these
          circumstances), and that a program inserted a more nested
          tagged type (or access discriminant) into a container, and
          then used that object before its type or discriminant went out
          of scope.  All known implementations are implemented in Ada,
          so we believe there is no practical incompatibility.  As such,
          we mention this only for completeness.

A.18.12 The Generic Package Containers.Indefinite_Doubly_Linked_Lists
---------------------------------------------------------------------

1/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} The language-defined generic package
Containers.Indefinite_Doubly_Linked_Lists provides private types List
and Cursor, and a set of operations for each type.  It provides the same
operations as the package Containers.Doubly_Linked_Lists (see *note
A.18.3::), with the difference that the generic formal Element_Type is
indefinite.

                          _Static Semantics_

6.a/2
          Discussion: This procedure is omitted because there is no way
          to create a default-initialized object of an indefinite type.
          We considered having this routine insert an empty element
          similar to the empty elements of a vector, but rejected this
          possibility because the semantics are fairly complex and very
          different from the existing definite container.  That would
          make it more error-prone to convert a container from a
          definite type to an indefinite type; by omitting the routine

A.18.13 The Generic Package Containers.Indefinite_Hashed_Maps

          and consistent, the result returned by any of the functions

          not required to protect against "=" raising an exception, or
          returning random results, or any other "bad" behavior.  And it
          can call "=" in whatever manner makes sense.  But note that
          only the results of the function "=" is unspecified; other

of this generic package have access-to-subprogram parameters.  To ensure
such operations are well-defined, they guard against certain actions by
the designated subprogram.  In particular, some operations check for
"tampering with the element" of a container because they depend on the
element of the container not being replaced.]

30/3
{<AI05-0069-1AI05-0069-1>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} A subprogram is
said to <tamper with the element> of a holder object <H> if:

31/3
   * It clears the element contained by <H>, that is, it calls the Clear
     procedure with <H> as a parameter;

32/3
   * It replaces the element contained by <H>, that is, it calls the
     Replace_Element procedure with <H> as a parameter;

33/3
   * It calls the Move procedure with <H> as a parameter;

34/3
   * It finalizes <H>.

34.a/3
          Reason: Complete replacement of an element can cause its
          memory to be deallocated while another operation is holding
          onto a reference to it.  That can't be allowed.  However, a
          simple modification of (part of) an element is not a problem,
          so Update_Element does not cause a problem.

the body of the language-defined subprogram.

37/3
          {<AI05-0069-1AI05-0069-1>} If Left and Right denote the same

          compares the element contained in Left to the element
          contained in Right using the generic formal equality operator,
          returning the result of that operation.  Any exception raised
          during the evaluation of element equality is propagated.

37.a/3
          Implementation Note: This wording describes the canonical
          semantics.  However, the order and number of calls on the

          propagates Program_Error.

55.a/3
          Reason: It is expected that Reference_Type (and
          Constant_Reference_Type) will be a controlled type, for which
          finalization will have some action to terminate the tampering
          check for the associated container.  If the object is created
          by default, however, there is no associated container.  Since
          this is useless, and supporting this case would take extra
          work, we define it to raise an exception.

          Clear (Target) is called.  Otherwise, Replace_Element (Target,

63.a/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} This routine exists for
          compatibility with the other containers.  For a holder,
          Assign(A, B) and A := B behave effectively the same.  (Assign
          Clears the Target, while := finalizes the Target, but these
          should have similar effects.)

68/3
{<AI05-0022-1AI05-0022-1>} {<AI05-0069-1AI05-0069-1>}
{<AI05-0248-1AI05-0248-1>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} It is a bounded
error for the actual function associated with a generic formal
subprogram, when called as part of an operation of this package, to
tamper with the element of any Holder parameter of the operation.
Either Program_Error is raised, or the operation works as defined on the
value of the Holder either prior to, or subsequent to, some or all of
the modifications to the Holder.

69/3
{<AI05-0027-1AI05-0027-1>} {<AI05-0069-1AI05-0069-1>} It is a bounded
error to call any subprogram declared in the visible part of
Containers.Indefinite_Holders when the associated container has been
finalized.  If the operation takes Container as an in out parameter,
then it raises Constraint_Error or Program_Error.  Otherwise, the
operation either proceeds as it would for an empty container, or it
raises Constraint_Error or Program_Error.

                         _Erroneous Execution_

70/3
{<AI05-0212-1AI05-0212-1>} {<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>} Execution is
erroneous if the holder container associated with the result of a call
to Reference or Constant_Reference is finalized before the result object
returned by the call to Reference or Constant_Reference is finalized.

70.a/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0212-1AI05-0212-1>} Each object of
          Reference_Type and Constant_Reference_Type probably contains
          some reference to the originating container.  If that
          container is prematurely finalized (which is only possible via
          Unchecked_Deallocation, as accessibility checks prevent
          passing a container to Reference that will not live as long as
          the result), the finalization of the object of Reference_Type
          will try to access a nonexistent object.  This is a normal
          case of a dangling pointer created by Unchecked_Deallocation;
          we have to explicitly mention it here as the pointer in
          question is not visible in the specification of the type.
          (This is the same reason we have to say this for invalid
          cursors.)

                     _Implementation Requirements_

71/3
{<AI05-0069-1AI05-0069-1>} No storage associated with a holder object
shall be lost upon assignment or scope exit.

72/3
{<AI05-0069-1AI05-0069-1>} {<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>} The execution of
an assignment_statement for a holder container shall have the effect of
copying the element (if any) from the source holder object to the target
holder object.

72.a/3
          Implementation Note: {<AI05-0298-1AI05-0298-1>} An assignment
          of a holder container is a "deep" copy; that is the element is
          copied as well as any data structures.  We say "effect of" in
          order to allow the implementation to avoid copying the element
          immediately if it wishes.  For instance, an implementation
          that avoided copying until one of the containers is modified
          would be allowed.  (Note that this implementation would
          require care, see *note A.18.2:: for more.)

                        _Implementation Advice_

73/3
{<AI05-0069-1AI05-0069-1>} {<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>} Move should not
copy the element, and should minimize copying of internal data
structures.

73.a.1/3
          Implementation Advice: Containers.Indefinite_Holders.Move
          should not copy the element, and should minimize copying of
          internal data structures.

73.a/3
          Implementation Note: Usually that can be accomplished simply
          by moving the pointer(s) to the internal data structures from
          the Source holder to the Target holder.

74/3
{<AI05-0069-1AI05-0069-1>} {<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>} If an exception is
propagated from a holder operation, no storage should be lost, nor
should the element be removed from a holder container unless specified
by the operation.

74.a.1/3
          Implementation Advice: If an exception is propagated from a
          holder operation, no storage should be lost, nor should the
          element be removed from a holder container unless specified by
          the operation.

74.a/3
          Reason: This is important so that programs can recover from
          errors.  But we don't want to require heroic efforts, so we
          just require documentation of cases where this can't be
          accomplished.

          they previously worked.  However, this is extremely unlikely;

A.18.19 The Generic Package Containers.Bounded_Vectors
------------------------------------------------------

1/3
{<AI05-0001-1AI05-0001-1>} The language-defined generic package
Containers.Bounded_Vectors provides a private type Vector and a set of
operations.  It provides the same operations as the package
Containers.Vectors (see *note A.18.2::), with the difference that the
maximum storage is bounded.

                          _Static Semantics_

2/3
{<AI05-0001-1AI05-0001-1>} The declaration of the generic library
package Containers.Bounded_Vectors has the same contents and semantics
as Containers.Vectors except:

3/3
   * The pragma Preelaborate is replaced with pragma Pure.

4/3
   * The type Vector is declared with a discriminant that specifies the
     capacity:

5/3
       type Vector (Capacity : Count_Type) is tagged private;

6/3
   * The type Vector needs finalization if and only if type Element_Type
     needs finalization.

6.a/3
          Implementation Note: {<AI05-0212-1AI05-0212-1>} The type
          Vector cannot depend on package Ada.Finalization unless the
          element type depends on that package.  The objects returned
          from the Iterator and Reference functions probably do depend
          on package Ada.Finalization.  Restricted environments may need
          to avoid use of those functions and their associated types.

7/3
   * In function Copy, if the Capacity parameter is equal to or greater
     than the length of Source, the vector capacity exactly equals the
     value of the Capacity parameter.

8/3
   * The description of Reserve_Capacity is replaced with:

9/3
          If the specified Capacity is larger than the capacity of
          Container, then Reserve_Capacity propagates Capacity_Error.
          Otherwise, the operation has no effect.

                      _Bounded (Run-Time) Errors_

10/3
{<AI05-0160-1AI05-0160-1>} {<AI05-0265-1AI05-0265-1>} It is a bounded
error to assign from a bounded vector object while tampering with
elements [or cursors] of that object is prohibited.  Either
Program_Error is raised by the assignment, execution proceeds with the
target object prohibiting tampering with elements [or cursors], or
execution proceeds normally.

10.a/3
          Proof: Tampering with elements includes tampering with
          cursors, so we only really need to talk about tampering with
          elements here; we mention cursors for clarity.

                         _Erroneous Execution_

11/3
{<AI05-0265-1AI05-0265-1>} When a bounded vector object <V> is
finalized, if tampering with cursors is prohibited for <V> other than
due to an assignment from another vector, then execution is erroneous.  

11.a/3
          Reason: This is a tampering event, but since the
          implementation is not allowed to use Ada.Finalization, it is
          not possible in a pure Ada implementation to detect this
          error.  (There is no Finalize routine that will be called that
          could make the check.)  Since the check probably cannot be
          made, the bad effects that could occur (such as an iterator
          going into an infinite loop or accessing a nonexistent
          element) cannot be prevented and we have to allow anything.
          We do allow re-assigning an object that only prohibits
          tampering because it was copied from another object as that
          cannot cause any negative effects.

                     _Implementation Requirements_

12/3
{<AI05-0184-1AI05-0184-1>} {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} For each instance
of Containers.Vectors and each instance of Containers.Bounded_Vectors,
if the two instances meet the following conditions, then the output
generated by the Vector'Output or Vector'Write subprograms of either
instance shall be readable by the Vector'Input or Vector'Read of the
other instance, respectively:

13/3
   * {<AI05-0184-1AI05-0184-1>} {<AI05-0248-1AI05-0248-1>} the
     Element_Type parameters of the two instances are statically
     matching subtypes of the same type; and

14/3
   * {<AI05-0184-1AI05-0184-1>} the output generated by
     Element_Type'Output or Element_Type'Write is readable by
     Element_Type'Input or Element_Type'Read, respectively (where
     Element_Type denotes the type of the two actual Element_Type
     parameters); and

15/3
   * {<AI05-0184-1AI05-0184-1>} the preceding two conditions also hold
     for the Index_Type parameters of the instances.

                        _Implementation Advice_

16/3
{<AI05-0001-1AI05-0001-1>} Bounded vector objects should be implemented
without implicit pointers or dynamic allocation.

16.a.1/3
          Implementation Advice: Bounded vector objects should be
          implemented without implicit pointers or dynamic allocation.

17/3
{<AI05-0001-1AI05-0001-1>} The implementation advice for procedure Move
to minimize copying does not apply.

17.a.1/3
          Implementation Advice: The implementation advice for procedure

Containers.Bounded_Doubly_Linked_Lists provides a private type List and
a set of operations.  It provides the same operations as the package
Containers.Doubly_Linked_Lists (see *note A.18.3::), with the difference
that the maximum storage is bounded.

2/3
{<AI05-0001-1AI05-0001-1>} The declaration of the generic library
package Containers.Bounded_Doubly_Linked_Lists has the same contents and
semantics as Containers.Doubly_Linked_Lists except:

3/3
   * The pragma Preelaborate is replaced with pragma Pure.

4/3
   * The type List is declared with a discriminant that specifies the
     capacity (maximum number of elements) as follows:

5/3
       type List (Capacity : Count_Type) is tagged private;

6/3
   * The type List needs finalization if and only if type Element_Type
     needs finalization.

6.a/3
          Implementation Note: {<AI05-0212-1AI05-0212-1>} The type List
          cannot depend on package Ada.Finalization unless the element
          type depends on that package.  The objects returned from the
          Iterator and Reference functions probably do depend on package
          Ada.Finalization.  Restricted environments may need to avoid
          use of those functions and their associated types.

7/3
   * The allocation of internal storage includes a check that the
     capacity is not exceeded, and Capacity_Error is raised if this
     check fails.

8/3
   * In procedure Assign, if Source length is greater than Target
     capacity, then Capacity_Error is propagated.

9/3
   * The function Copy is replaced with:

       function Copy (Source : List; Capacity : Count_Type := 0)
          return List;

11/3
          If Capacity is 0, then the list capacity is the length of
          Source; if Capacity is equal to or greater than the length of
          Source, the list capacity equals the value of the Capacity
          parameter; otherwise, the operation propagates Capacity_Error.

12/3
   * In the three-parameter procedure Splice whose Source has type List,
     if the sum of the length of Target and the length of Source is
     greater than the capacity of Target, then Splice propagates
     Capacity_Error.

13/3
   * In the four-parameter procedure Splice, if the length of Target
     equals the capacity of Target, then Splice propagates
     Capacity_Error.

14/3
{<AI05-0160-1AI05-0160-1>} {<AI05-0265-1AI05-0265-1>} It is a bounded
error to assign from a bounded list object while tampering with elements
[or cursors] of that object is prohibited.  Either Program_Error is
raised by the assignment, execution proceeds with the target object
prohibiting tampering with elements [or cursors], or execution proceeds
normally.

14.a/3
          Proof: Tampering with elements includes tampering with
          cursors, so we only really need to talk about tampering with
          elements here; we mention cursors for clarity.

                         _Erroneous Execution_

15/3
{<AI05-0265-1AI05-0265-1>} When a bounded list object <L> is finalized,
if tampering with cursors is prohibited for <L> other than due to an
assignment from another list, then execution is erroneous.  

15.a/3
          Reason: This is a tampering event, but since the
          implementation is not allowed to use Ada.Finalization, it is
          not possible in a pure Ada implementation to detect this
          error.  (There is no Finalize routine that will be called that
          could make the check.)  Since the check probably cannot be
          made, the bad effects that could occur (such as an iterator
          going into an infinite loop or accessing a nonexistent
          element) cannot be prevented and we have to allow anything.
          We do allow re-assigning an object that only prohibits
          tampering because it was copied from another object as that
          cannot cause any negative effects.

          {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} Returns a map with key/element
          pairs initialized from the values in Source.  If Capacity is
          0, then the map capacity is the length of Source; if Capacity
          is equal to or greater than the length of Source, the map
          capacity is the value of the Capacity parameter; otherwise,
          the operation propagates Capacity_Error.  If the Modulus
          argument is 0, then the map modulus is the value returned by a
          call to Default_Modulus with the map capacity as its argument;

          Default_Modulus with the set capacity as its argument;
          otherwise, the set modulus is the value of the Modulus
          parameter.

15/3
{<AI05-0160-1AI05-0160-1>} {<AI05-0265-1AI05-0265-1>} It is a bounded
error to assign from a bounded set object while tampering with elements
[or cursors] of that object is prohibited.  Either Program_Error is
raised by the assignment, execution proceeds with the target object
prohibiting tampering with elements [or cursors], or execution proceeds
normally.

15.a/3
          Proof: Tampering with elements includes tampering with
          cursors, so we only really need to talk about tampering with
          elements here; we mention cursors for clarity.

                         _Erroneous Execution_

16/3
{<AI05-0265-1AI05-0265-1>} When a bounded set object <S> is finalized,
if tampering with cursors is prohibited for <S> other than due to an
assignment from another set, then execution is erroneous.  

16.a/3
          Reason: This is a tampering event, but since the
          implementation is not allowed to use Ada.Finalization, it is
          not possible in a pure Ada implementation to detect this
          error.  (There is no Finalize routine that will be called that
          could make the check.)  Since the check probably cannot be
          made, the bad effects that could occur (such as an iterator
          going into an infinite loop or accessing a nonexistent
          element) cannot be prevented and we have to allow anything.
          We do allow re-assigning an object that only prohibits
          tampering because it was copied from another object as that
          cannot cause any negative effects.

A.18.24 The Generic Package Containers.Bounded_Ordered_Sets
-----------------------------------------------------------

1/3
{<AI05-0001-1AI05-0001-1>} The language-defined generic package
Containers.Bounded_Ordered_Sets provides a private type Set and a set of
operations.  It provides the same operations as the package
Containers.Ordered_Sets (see *note A.18.9::), with the difference that
the maximum storage is bounded.

                          _Static Semantics_

2/3
{<AI05-0001-1AI05-0001-1>} The declaration of the generic library
package Containers.Bounded_Ordered_Sets has the same contents and
semantics as Containers.Ordered_Sets except:

3/3
   * The pragma Preelaborate is replaced with pragma Pure.

4/3
   * The type Set is declared with a discriminant that specifies the
     capacity (maximum number of elements) as follows:

5/3
       type Set (Capacity : Count_Type) is tagged private;

6/3
   * The type Set needs finalization if and only if type Element_Type
     needs finalization.

6.a/3
          Implementation Note: {<AI05-0212-1AI05-0212-1>} The type Set
          cannot depend on package Ada.Finalization unless the element
          type depends on that package.  The objects returned from the
          Iterator and Reference functions probably do depend on package
          Ada.Finalization.  Restricted environments may need to avoid
          use of those functions and their associated types.

7/3
   * If Insert (or Include) adds an element, a check is made that the
     capacity is not exceeded, and Capacity_Error is raised if this
     check fails.

8/3
   * In procedure Assign, if Source length is greater than Target
     capacity, then Capacity_Error is propagated.

9/3
   * The function Copy is replaced with:

10/3
       function Copy (Source   : Set;
                      Capacity : Count_Type := 0) return Set;

11/3
          Returns a set whose elements are initialized from the values
          in Source.  If Capacity is 0, then the set capacity is the
          length of Source; if Capacity is equal to or greater than the
          length of Source, the set capacity is the specified value;
          otherwise, the operation propagates Capacity_Error.

---------------------

1/3
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} {<AI05-0001-1AI05-0001-1>} The
language-defined generic procedures Containers.Generic_Array_Sort,
Containers.Generic_Constrained_Array_Sort, and Containers.Generic_Sort
provide sorting on arbitrary array types.

                          _Static Semantics_

2/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} The generic library procedure
Containers.Generic_Array_Sort has the following declaration:

3/2
     generic
        type Index_Type is (<>);
        type Element_Type is private;
        type Array_Type is array (Index_Type range <>) of Element_Type;
        with function "<" (Left, Right : Element_Type)
           return Boolean is <>;
     procedure Ada.Containers.Generic_Array_Sort (Container : in out Array_Type);
     pragma Pure(Ada.Containers.Generic_Array_Sort);

4/2
          Reorders the elements of Container such that the elements are
          sorted smallest first as determined by the generic formal "<"
          operator provided.  Any exception raised during evaluation of
          "<" is propagated.

5/3
          {<AI05-0044-1AI05-0044-1>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} The
          actual function for the generic formal function "<" of
          Generic_Array_Sort is expected to return the same value each
          time it is called with a particular pair of element values.
          It should define a strict weak ordering relationship (see
          *note A.18::); it should not modify Container.  If the actual
          for "<" behaves in some other manner, the behavior of the
          instance of Generic_Array_Sort is unspecified.  The number of
          times Generic_Array_Sort calls "<" is unspecified.

5.a/2
          Ramification: This implies swapping the elements, usually
          including an intermediate copy.  This of course means that the
          elements will be copied.  Since the elements are nonlimited,
          this usually will not be a problem.  Note that there is
          Implementation Advice below that the implementation should use
          a sort that minimizes copying of elements.

5.b/2
          The sort is not required to be stable (and the fast algorithm
          required will not be stable).  If a stable sort is needed, the
          user can include the original location of the element as an
          extra "sort key".  We considered requiring the implementation
          to do that, but it is mostly extra overhead -- usually there
          is something already in the element that provides the needed
          stability.

6/2

Containers.Generic_Constrained_Array_Sort has the following declaration:

          "<" is propagated.

          values.  It should define a strict weak ordering relationship

          the instance of Generic_Constrained_Array_Sort is unspecified.
          The number of times Generic_Constrained_Array_Sort calls "<"
          is unspecified.

        type Index_Type is (<>);

     procedure Ada.Containers.Generic_Sort
           (First, Last : Index_Type'Base);

9.3/3
          {<AI05-0001-1AI05-0001-1>} {<AI05-0248-1AI05-0248-1>} Reorders
          the elements of an indexable structure, over the range First
          ..  Last, such that the elements are sorted in the ordering
          determined by the generic formal function Before; Before
          should return True if Left is to be sorted before Right.  The
          generic formal Before compares the elements having the given
          indices, and the generic formal Swap exchanges the values of

9.4/3
          The actual function for the generic formal function Before of
          Generic_Sort is expected to return the same value each time it
          is called with index values that identify a particular pair of
          element values.  It should define a strict weak ordering
          relationship (see *note A.18::); it should not modify the
          elements.  The actual function for the generic formal Swap
          should exchange the values of the indicated elements.  If the
          actual for either Before or Swap behaves in some other manner,
          the behavior of Generic_Sort is unspecified.  The number of
          times the Generic_Sort calls Before or Swap is unspecified.

10/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} The worst-case time complexity of a call
on an instance of Containers.Generic_Array_Sort or
Containers.Generic_Constrained_Array_Sort should be <O>(<N>**2) or
better, and the average time complexity should be better than
<O>(<N>**2), where <N> is the length of the Container parameter.

10.a/2
          Implementation Advice: Containers.Generic_Array_Sort and
          Containers.Generic_Constrained_Array_Sort should have an
          average time complexity better than <O>(<N>**2) and worst case
          no worse than <O>(<N>**2).

10.b/2
          Discussion: In other words, we're requiring the use of a
          sorting algorithm better than <O>(<N>**2), such as Quicksort.
          No bubble sorts allowed!

11/2
{<AI95-00302-03AI95-00302-03>} Containers.Generic_Array_Sort and

          copying of elements.

11.b/2
          To be honest: We do not mean "absolutely minimize" here; we're
          not intending to require a single copy for each element.
          Rather, we want to suggest that the sorting algorithm chosen
          is one that does not copy items unnecessarily.  Bubble sort
          would not meet this advice, for instance.

12/3
{<AI05-0248-1AI05-0248-1>} The worst-case time complexity of a call on
an instance of Containers.Generic_Sort should be <O>(<N>**2) or better,
and the average time complexity should be better than <O>(<N>**2), where
<N> is the difference between the Last and First parameters plus 1.

12.a.1/3
          Implementation Advice: Containers.Generic_Sort should have an

A.18.27 The Generic Package Containers.Synchronized_Queue_Interfaces
--------------------------------------------------------------------

1/3
{<AI05-0159-1AI05-0159-1>} The language-defined generic package
Containers.Synchronized_Queue_Interfaces provides interface type Queue,
and a set of operations for that type.  Interface Queue specifies a
first-in, first-out queue.

                          _Static Semantics_

2/3
{<AI05-0159-1AI05-0159-1>} The generic library package
Containers.Synchronized_Queue_Interfaces has the following declaration:

3/3

        type Element_Type is private;
     package Ada.Containers.Synchronized_Queue_Interfaces is
        pragma Pure(Synchronized_Queue_Interfaces);

6/3
        procedure Dequeue
          (Container : in out Queue;

          {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} A queue type that implements this
          interface is allowed to have a bounded <capacity>.  If the
          queue object has a bounded capacity, and the number of
          existing elements equals the capacity, then Enqueue blocks
          until storage becomes available; otherwise, Enqueue does not
          block.  In any case, it then copies New_Item onto the queue.

11/3
     procedure Dequeue
       (Container : in out Queue;
        Element   :    out Element_Type) is abstract;

12/3
          {<AI05-0159-1AI05-0159-1>} {<AI05-0251-1AI05-0251-1>} If the
          queue is empty, then Dequeue blocks until an item becomes
          available.  In any case, it then assigns the element at the
          head of the queue to Element, and removes it from the queue.

13/3
     function Current_Use (Container : Queue) return Count_Type is abstract;

14/3
          {<AI05-0159-1AI05-0159-1>} Returns the number of elements
          currently in the queue.

15/3
     function Peak_Use (Container : Queue) return Count_Type is abstract;

16/3
          {<AI05-0159-1AI05-0159-1>} Returns the maximum number of
          elements that have been in the queue at any one time.

     NOTES

17/3
     51  {<AI05-0251-1AI05-0251-1>} Unlike other language-defined
     containers, there are no queues whose element types are indefinite.
     Elements of an indefinite type can be handled by defining the
     element of the queue to be a holder container (see *note A.18.18::)
     of the indefinite type, or to be an explicit access type that
     designates the indefinite type.

17.a/3
          Reason: There are no indefinite queues, as a useful definition
          for Dequeue is not possible.  Dequeue cannot be a function, as
          Ada does not have entries that are functions (thus conditional
          and timed calls would not be possible).  Moreover, protected
          functions do not allow modifying the queue object (thus it
          doesn't work even if we decided we didn't care about
          conditional and timed calls).  If Dequeue is an entry, then
          the dequeued object would have to be an out parameter and that
          would require the queue client to guess the tag and
          constraints of the value that will be dequeued (otherwise
          Constraint_Error would be raised), and that is rarely going to
          be possible.

          it is visibly protected.

12.b/3
          Discussion: Nested package Implementation can be used to
          declare the types needed to implement the protected type
          Queue.  This nested package is necessary as types cannot be
          declared in the private part of a protected type, and the
          types have to be declared within the generic unit in order to
          depend on the types imported with package Queue_Interfaces.
          Clients should never depend on the contents of nested package
          Implementation.

A.19 The Package Locales
========================

1/3
{<AI05-0127-2AI05-0127-2>} {<AI05-0248-1AI05-0248-1>} A <locale>
identifies a geopolitical place or region and its associated language,
which can be used to determine other internationalization-related
characteristics.

                          _Static Semantics_

2/3
{<AI05-0127-2AI05-0127-2>} The library package Locales has the following
declaration:

3/3
     package Ada.Locales is
        pragma Preelaborate(Locales);
        pragma Remote_Types(Locales);

4/4
     {<AI12-0037-1AI12-0037-1>}    type Language_Code is new String (1 .. 3)
           with Dynamic_Predicate =>
              (for all E of Language_Code => E in 'a' .. 'z');
        type Country_Code is new String (1 .. 2)
           with Dynamic_Predicate =>
              (for all E of Country_Code  => E in 'A' .. 'Z');

4.a/4
          Discussion: {<AI12-0037-1AI12-0037-1>} These types are derived
          from type String so that they can easily be converted to or
          from type String.  That's important if one of these values
          needs to be input or displayed (via Text_IO, perhaps).  We use
          the predicate to ensure that only possible component values
          are used.  Ada does not allow converting between unrelated
          types with components that don't statically match, so we
          cannot declare new types with constrained components if we
          want conversions to or from type String.

8/3
{<AI05-0127-2AI05-0127-2>} {<AI05-0233-1AI05-0233-1>} The <active
locale> is the locale associated with the partition of the current task.

8.a/3
          Implementation Note: {<AI05-0233-1AI05-0233-1>} Some
          environments define both a system locale and the locale of the
          current user.  For such environments, the active locale is
          that of current user if any; otherwise (as in a partition
          running on a server without a user), the system locale should
          be used.

9/3
{<AI05-0127-2AI05-0127-2>} Language_Code is a lower-case string
representation of an ISO 639-3 alpha-3 code that identifies a language.

9.a/3
          Discussion: Some common language codes are: "eng" - English;
          "fra" - French; "deu" - German; "zho" - Chinese.  These are
          the same codes as used by POSIX systems.  We considered
          including constants for the most common languages, but that
          was rejected as the likely source of continual arguments about
          the constant names and which languages are important enough to
          include.

10/3
{<AI05-0127-2AI05-0127-2>} Country_Code is an upper-case string
representation of an ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code that identifies a country.

10.a/3
          Discussion: Some common country codes are: "CA" - Canada; "FR"
          - France; "DE" - Germany; "IT" - Italy; "ES" - Spain; "GB" -
          United Kingdom; "US" - United States.  These are the same
          codes as used by POSIX systems.  We didn't include any country
          constants for the same reasons that we didn't include any
          language constants.

11/3
{<AI05-0127-2AI05-0127-2>} {<AI05-0248-1AI05-0248-1>} Function Language
returns the code of the language associated with the active locale.  If
the Language_Code associated with the active locale cannot be determined
from the environment, then Language returns Language_Unknown.

12/3
{<AI05-0127-2AI05-0127-2>} {<AI05-0248-1AI05-0248-1>} Function Country
returns the code of the country associated with the active locale.  If
the Country_Code associated with the active locale cannot be determined
from the environment, then Country returns Country_Unknown.

          {<AI05-0127-2AI05-0127-2>} {<AI05-0233-1AI05-0233-1>} Package
          Locales is new.

                    _Inconsistencies With Ada 2012_

12.b/4
          {<AI12-0037-1AI12-0037-1>} Corrigendum: Types Language_Code
          and Country_Code are defined with predicates rather than
          constrained components so that they can be converted to/from
          type String.  This changes the exception raised from
          Constraint_Error to Assertion_Error if an assignment is
          attempted with an incorrect value.  This could only matter if
          there is a handler specifically for Constraint_Error
          surrounding this assignment; as this exception raise is
          certainly caused by a bug (why would anyone want to use
          invalid language or country codes?), such a handler seems very
          unlikely.  (In addition, this is a new Ada 2012 package, so
          there is not likely to be a lot of code using it.)

Annex B Interface to Other Languages
************************************

1
This Annex describes features for writing mixed-language programs.
General interface support is presented first; then specific support for
C, COBOL, and Fortran is defined, in terms of language interface
packages for each of these languages.

1.a
          Ramification: This Annex is not a "Specialized Needs" annex.
          Every implementation must support all nonoptional features
          defined here (mainly the package Interfaces).

                     _Language Design Principles_

1.b
          Ada should have strong support for mixed-language programming.

                     _Implementation Requirements_

2/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>}
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} Support for interfacing to any foreign
language is optional.  However, an implementation shall not provide any
optional aspect, attribute, library unit, or pragma having the same name
as an aspect, attribute, library unit, or pragma (respectively)
specified in the subclauses of this Annex unless the provided construct
is either as specified in those subclauses or is more limited in
capability than that required by those subclauses.  A program that
attempts to use an unsupported capability of this Annex shall either be
identified by the implementation before run time or shall raise an
exception at run time.

2.a/3
          Discussion: The intent is that the same rules apply for the
          optional parts of language interfacing as apply for
          Specialized Needs Annexes.  See *note 1.1.3:: for a discussion
          of the purpose of these rules.

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

2.b
          Much of the functionality in this Annex is new to Ada 95.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

2.c
          This Annex contains what used to be RM83-13.8.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

2.d/3
          {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} Moved the clarification that
          interfacing to foreign languages is optional and has the same
          restrictions as a Specialized Needs Annex here.

B.1 Interfacing Aspects
=======================

0.1/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} An <interfacing> aspect is a representation
aspect that is one of the aspects Import, Export, Link_Name,
External_Name, or Convention.

1/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} {<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>} Specifying the
Import aspect to have the value True is used to import an entity defined
in a foreign language into an Ada program, thus allowing a
foreign-language subprogram to be called from Ada, or a foreign-language
variable to be accessed from Ada.  In contrast, specifying the Export
aspect to have the value True is used to export an Ada entity to a
foreign language, thus allowing an Ada subprogram to be called from a
foreign language, or an Ada object to be accessed from a foreign
language.  The Import and Export aspects are intended primarily for
objects and subprograms, although implementations are allowed to support
other entities.  The Link_Name and External_Name aspects are used to
specify the link name and external name, respectively, to be used to
identify imported or exported entities in the external environment.  

1.a/3
          Aspect Description for Import: Entity is imported from another
          language.

1.b/3
          Aspect Description for Export: Entity is exported to another
          language.

1.c/3
          Aspect Description for External_Name: Name used to identify an
          imported or exported entity.

1.d/3
          Aspect Description for Link_Name: Linker symbol used to
          identify an imported or exported entity.

2/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} The Convention aspect is used to indicate
that an Ada entity should use the conventions of another language.  It
is intended primarily for types and "callback" subprograms.  For
example, "with Convention => Fortran" on the declaration of an array
type Matrix implies that Matrix should be represented according to the
conventions of the supported Fortran implementation, namely column-major
order.

2.a/3
          Aspect Description for Convention: Calling convention or other
          convention used for interfacing to other languages.

3
A pragma Linker_Options is used to specify the system linker parameters
needed when a given compilation unit is included in a partition.

                               _Syntax_

4/3
     {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} The form of a pragma Linker_Options is
     as follows:

     <Paragraphs 5 through 7 were moved to *note Annex J::, "*note Annex
     J:: Obsolescent Features".>

8
       pragma Linker_Options(<string_>expression);

9
     A pragma Linker_Options is allowed only at the place of a
     declarative_item.

9.1/3
     <This paragraph was deleted.>{<8652/00588652/0058>}
     {<AI95-00036-01AI95-00036-01>} {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>}

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

9.2/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} The Import and Export aspects are of type
Boolean.

10/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} The Link_Name and External_Name aspects are
of type String.

10.a/3
          Ramification: There is no language-defined support for
          external or link names of type Wide_String, or of other string
          types.  Implementations may, of course, have additional
          aspects for that purpose.  Note that allowing both String and
          Wide_String in the same aspect_definition would cause
          ambiguities.

10.1/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} The expected type for the <string_>expression
in pragma Linker_Options is String.

                           _Legality Rules_

11/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} The aspect Convention shall be specified by a
<convention_>identifier which shall be the name of a <convention>.  The
convention names are implementation defined, except for certain
language-defined ones, such as Ada and Intrinsic, as explained in *note
6.3.1::, "*note 6.3.1:: Conformance Rules".  [Additional convention
names generally represent the calling conventions of foreign languages,
language implementations, or specific run-time models.]  The convention
of a callable entity is its <calling convention>.

11.a
          Implementation defined: Implementation-defined convention
          names.

11.b
          Discussion: We considered representing the convention names
          using an enumeration type declared in System.  Then,
          <convention_>identifier would be changed to <convention_>name,
          and we would make its expected type be the enumeration type.
          We didn't do this because it seems to introduce extra
          complexity, and because the list of available languages is
          better represented as the list of children of package
          Interfaces -- a more open-ended sort of list.

12
If <L> is a <convention_>identifier for a language, then a type T is
said to be <compatible with convention L>, (alternatively, is said to be
an <L-compatible type>) if any of the following conditions are met:

13
   * T is declared in a language interface package corresponding to <L>
     and is defined to be <L>-compatible (see *note B.3::, *note
     B.3.1::, *note B.3.2::, *note B.4::, *note B.5::),

14/3
   * {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} Convention <L> has been specified for T,
     and T is <eligible for convention L>; that is:

14.1/4
             * {<AI12-0135-1AI12-0135-1>} T is an enumeration type such
               that all internal codes (whether assigned by default or
               explicitly) are within an implementation-defined range
               that includes at least the range of values 0 ..  2**15-1;

15
             * T is an array type with either an unconstrained or
               statically-constrained first subtype, and its component
               type is <L>-compatible,

16
             * T is a record type that has no discriminants and that
               only has components with statically-constrained subtypes,
               and each component type is <L>-compatible,

17/3
             * {<AI05-0002-1AI05-0002-1>} T is an access-to-object type,
               its designated type is <L>-compatible, and its designated
               subtype is not an unconstrained array subtype,

18
             * T is an access-to-subprogram type, and its designated
               profile's parameter and result types are all
               <L>-compatible.

19
   * T is derived from an <L>-compatible type,

20
   * The implementation permits T as an <L>-compatible type.

20.a
          Discussion: For example, an implementation might permit
          Integer as a C-compatible type, though the C type to which it
          corresponds might be different in different environments.

21/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} If the Convention aspect is specified for a
type, then the type shall either be compatible with or eligible for the
specified convention.

21.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} If a type is derived
          from an <L>-compatible type, the derived type is by default
          <L>-compatible, but it is also permitted to specify the
          Convention aspect for the derived type.

21.b/3
          {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} It is permitted to specify the
          Convention aspect for an incomplete type, but in the complete
          declaration each component must be <L>-compatible.

21.c/3
          {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} If each component of a record type
          is <L>-compatible, then the record type itself is only
          <L>-compatible if it has a specified Convention.

22/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} Notwithstanding any rule to the contrary, a
declaration with a True Import aspect shall not have a completion.

22.a/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} For declarations of
          deferred constants and subprograms, we explicitly mention that
          no completion is allowed when aspect Import is True.  For
          other declarations that require completions, we ignore the
          possibility of the aspect Import being True.  Nevertheless, if
          an implementation chooses to allow specifying aspect Import to
          be True for the declaration of a task, protected type,
          incomplete type, private type, etc., it may do so, and the
          normal completion is then not allowed for that declaration.

23/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>}  An entity with a True Import aspect (or
Export aspect) is said to be <imported> (respectively, <exported>).  An
entity shall not be both imported and exported.

24
The declaration of an imported object shall not include an explicit
initialization expression.  [Default initializations are not performed.]

24.a
          Proof: This follows from the "Notwithstanding ..."  wording in
          the Dynamics Semantics paragraphs below.

25/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} The type of an imported or exported object
shall be compatible with the specified Convention aspect, if any.

25.a
          Ramification: This implies, for example, that importing an
          Integer object might be illegal, whereas importing an object
          of type Interfaces.C.int would be permitted.

26/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} For an imported or exported subprogram, the
result and parameter types shall each be compatible with the specified
Convention aspect, if any.

27/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} The aspect_definition (if any) used to
directly specify an Import, Export, External_Name, or Link_Name aspect
shall be a static expression.  The <string_>expression of a pragma
Linker_Options shall be static.  An External_Name or Link_Name aspect
shall be specified only for an entity that is either imported or
exported.

                          _Static Semantics_

<Paragraphs 28 and 29 were deleted.>

30/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} The Convention aspect represents the calling
convention or representation convention of the entity.  For an
access-to-subprogram type, it represents the calling convention of
designated subprograms.  In addition:

31/3
   * A True Import aspect indicates that the entity is defined
     externally (that is, outside the Ada program).  This aspect is
     never inherited; if not directly specified, the Import aspect is
     False.

32/3
   * A True Export aspect indicates that the entity is used externally.
     This aspect is never inherited; if not directly specified, the
     Export aspect is False.

33/3
   * For an entity with a True Import or Export aspect, an external
     name, link name, or both may also be specified.

34
An <external name> is a string value for the name used by a foreign
language program either for an entity that an Ada program imports, or
for referring to an entity that an Ada program exports.

35
A <link name> is a string value for the name of an exported or imported
entity, based on the conventions of the foreign language's compiler in
interfacing with the system's linker tool.

36
The meaning of link names is implementation defined.  If neither a link
name nor the Address attribute of an imported or exported entity is
specified, then a link name is chosen in an implementation-defined
manner, based on the external name if one is specified.

36.a
          Implementation defined: The meaning of link names.

36.b
          Ramification: For example, an implementation might always
          prepend "_", and then pass it to the system linker.

36.c
          Implementation defined: The manner of choosing link names when
          neither the link name nor the address of an imported or
          exported entity is specified.

36.d
          Ramification: Normally, this will be the entity's defining
          name, or some simple transformation thereof.

37
Pragma Linker_Options has the effect of passing its string argument as a
parameter to the system linker (if one exists), if the immediately
enclosing compilation unit is included in the partition being linked.
The interpretation of the string argument, and the way in which the
string arguments from multiple Linker_Options pragmas are combined, is
implementation defined.

37.a
          Implementation defined: The effect of pragma Linker_Options.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

38/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} Notwithstanding what this International
Standard says elsewhere, the elaboration of a declaration with a True
Import aspect does not create the entity.  Such an elaboration has no
other effect than to allow the defining name to denote the external
entity.

38.a
          Ramification: This implies that default initializations are
          skipped.  (Explicit initializations are illegal.)  For
          example, an imported access object is <not> initialized to
          null.

38.b/3
          <This paragraph was deleted.>{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>}

38.c/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} This "notwithstanding"
          wording is better than saying "unless aspect Import is True"
          on every definition of elaboration.  It says we recognize the
          contradiction, and this rule takes precedence.

                         _Erroneous Execution_

38.1/3
{<AI95-00320-01AI95-00320-01>} {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} It is the
programmer's responsibility to ensure that the use of interfacing
aspects does not violate Ada semantics; otherwise, program execution is
erroneous.

                        _Implementation Advice_

39/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} If an implementation supports Export for a
given language, then it should also allow the main subprogram to be
written in that language.  It should support some mechanism for invoking
the elaboration of the Ada library units included in the system, and for
invoking the finalization of the environment task.  On typical systems,
the recommended mechanism is to provide two subprograms whose link names
are "adainit" and "adafinal".  Adainit should contain the elaboration
code for library units.  Adafinal should contain the finalization code.
These subprograms should have no effect the second and subsequent time
they are called.  

39.a.1/3
          Implementation Advice: If Export is supported for a language,
          the main program should be able to be written in that
          language.  Subprograms named "adainit" and "adafinal" should
          be provided for elaboration and finalization of the
          environment task.

39.a
          Ramification: For example, if the main subprogram is written
          in C, it can call adainit before the first call to an Ada
          subprogram, and adafinal after the last.

40/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} {<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>} Automatic
elaboration of preelaborated packages should be provided when specifying
the Export aspect as True is supported.

40.a.1/3
          Implementation Advice: Automatic elaboration of preelaborated
          packages should be provided when specifying the Export aspect
          as True is supported.

41/4
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} {<AI12-0135-1AI12-0135-1>} For each supported
convention <L> other than Intrinsic, an implementation should support
specifying the Import and Export aspects for objects of <L>-compatible
types and for subprograms, and the Convention aspect for <L>-eligible
types and for subprograms, presuming the other language has
corresponding features.  Specifying the Convention aspect need not be
supported for scalar types, other than enumeration types whose internal
codes fall within the range 0 ..  2**15-1.

41.a.1/3
          Implementation Advice: For each supported convention <L> other
          than Intrinsic, specifying the aspects Import and Export
          should be supported for objects of <L>-compatible types and
          for subprograms, and aspect Convention should be supported for
          <L>-eligible types and for subprograms.

41.a/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} Specifying aspect
          Convention is not necessary for scalar types, since the
          language interface packages declare scalar types corresponding
          to those provided by the respective foreign languages.

41.b/2
          Implementation Note: {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} If an
          implementation supports interfacing to the C++ entities not
          supported by *note B.3::, it should do so via the convention
          identifier C_Plus_Plus (in additional to any
          C++-implementation-specific ones).

41.c/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} The reason for giving
          the advice about C++ is to encourage uniformity among
          implementations, given that the name of the language is not
          syntactically legal as an identifier.

     NOTES

42/3
     1  {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} Implementations may place
     restrictions on interfacing aspects; for example, requiring each
     exported entity to be declared at the library level.

42.a
          Proof: Arbitrary restrictions are allowed by *note 13.1::.

42.b
          Ramification: Such a restriction might be to disallow them
          altogether.  Alternatively, the implementation might allow
          them only for certain kinds of entities, or only for certain
          conventions.

43/3
     2  {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} The Convention aspect in combination
     with the Import aspect indicates the conventions for accessing
     external entities.  It is possible that the actual entity is
     written in assembly language, but reflects the conventions of a
     particular language.  For example, with Convention => Ada can be
     used to interface to an assembly language routine that obeys the
     Ada compiler's calling conventions.

44/3
     3  {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} To obtain "call-back" to an Ada
     subprogram from a foreign language environment, the Convention
     aspect should be specified both for the access-to-subprogram type
     and the specific subprogram(s) to which 'Access is applied.

     <Paragraphs 45 and 46 were deleted.>

47
     4  See also *note 13.8::, "*note 13.8:: Machine Code Insertions".

47.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} The Intrinsic
          convention (see *note 6.3.1::) implies that the entity is
          somehow "built in" to the implementation.  Thus, it generally
          does not make sense for users to specify Intrinsic along with
          specifying that the entity is imported.  The intention is that
          only implementations will specify Intrinsic for an imported
          entity.  The language also defines certain subprograms to be
          Intrinsic.

47.b/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} There are many
          imaginable interfacing aspects that don't make any sense.  For
          example, setting the Convention of a protected procedure to
          Ada is probably wrong.  Rather than enumerating all such
          cases, however, we leave it up to implementations to decide
          what is sensible.

48/3
     5  {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} If both External_Name and Link_Name
     are specified for a given entity, then the External_Name is
     ignored.

{<AI12-0080-1AI12-0080-1>} <Example of interfacing aspects:>

51/3
     {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} {<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>} package Fortran_Library is
       function Sqrt (X : Float) return Float
         with Import => True, Convention => Fortran;
       type Matrix is array (Natural range <>, Natural range <>) of Float
         with Convention => Fortran;
       function Invert (M : Matrix) return Matrix
         with Import => True, Convention => Fortran;
     end Fortran_Library;

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

51.a
          Interfacing pragmas are new to Ada 95.  Pragma Import replaces
          Ada 83's pragma Interface.  Existing implementations can
          continue to support pragma Interface for upward compatibility.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

51.b/2
          {<8652/00588652/0058>} {<AI95-00036-01AI95-00036-01>}
          Corrigendum: Clarified that pragmas Import and Export work
          like a subprogram call; parameters cannot be omitted unless
          named notation is used.  (Reordering is still not permitted,
          however.)

51.c/2
          {<AI95-00320-01AI95-00320-01>} Added wording to say all bets
          are off if foreign code doesn't follow the semantics promised
          by the Ada specifications.

                   _Incompatibilities With Ada 2005_

51.d/3
          {<AI05-0002-1AI05-0002-1>} Correction: Access types that
          designate unconstrained arrays are no longer defined to be
          <L>-compatible.  Such access-to-arrays require bounds
          information, which is likely to be incompatible with a foreign
          language.  The change will allow (but not require) compilers
          to reject bad uses, which probably will not work anyway.  Note
          that implementations can still support any type that it wants
          as <L>-compatible; such uses will not be portable, however.
          As such, there should be little existing code that will be
          impacted (compilers probably already rejected cases that could
          not be translated, whether or not the language allowed doing
          so formally).

                       _Extensions to Ada 2005_

51.e/3
          {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} Aspects Convention, Import, Export,
          Link_Name, and External_Name are new; pragmas Convention,
          Import, and Export are now obsolescent.

                       _Extensions to Ada 2012_

51.f/4
          {<AI12-0135-1AI12-0135-1>} Corrigendum: Added a suggestion
          that convention be supported for enumeration types.  This will
          make the use of enumeration types portable for implementations
          that support interfacing to a particular language.

B.2 The Package Interfaces
==========================

1
Package Interfaces is the parent of several library packages that
declare types and other entities useful for interfacing to foreign
languages.  It also contains some implementation-defined types that are
useful across more than one language (in particular for interfacing to
assembly language).

1.a
          Implementation defined: The contents of the visible part of
          package Interfaces and its language-defined descendants.

                          _Static Semantics_

2
The library package Interfaces has the following skeletal declaration:

3

     package Interfaces is
        pragma Pure(Interfaces);

4
        type Integer_<n> is range -2**(<n>-1) .. 2**(<n>-1) - 1;  --<2's complement>

5
        type Unsigned_<n> is mod 2**<n>;

6
        function Shift_Left  (Value : Unsigned_<n>; Amount : Natural)
           return Unsigned_<n>;
        function Shift_Right (Value : Unsigned_<n>; Amount : Natural)
           return Unsigned_<n>;
        function Shift_Right_Arithmetic (Value : Unsigned_<n>; Amount : Natural)
           return Unsigned_<n>;
        function Rotate_Left  (Value : Unsigned_<n>; Amount : Natural)
           return Unsigned_<n>;
        function Rotate_Right (Value : Unsigned_<n>; Amount : Natural)
           return Unsigned_<n>;
        ...
     end Interfaces;

                     _Implementation Requirements_

7
An implementation shall provide the following declarations in the
visible part of package Interfaces:

8
   * Signed and modular integer types of <n> bits, if supported by the
     target architecture, for each <n> that is at least the size of a
     storage element and that is a factor of the word size.  The names
     of these types are of the form Integer_<n> for the signed types,
     and Unsigned_<n> for the modular types;

8.a
          Ramification: For example, for a typical 32-bit machine the
          corresponding types might be Integer_8, Unsigned_8,
          Integer_16, Unsigned_16, Integer_32, and Unsigned_32.

8.b
          The wording above implies, for example, that Integer_16'Size =
          Unsigned_16'Size = 16.  Unchecked conversions between
          same-Sized types will work as expected.

9
   * For each such modular type in Interfaces, shifting and rotating
     subprograms as specified in the declaration of Interfaces above.
     These subprograms are Intrinsic.  They operate on a bit-by-bit
     basis, using the binary representation of the value of the operands
     to yield a binary representation for the result.  The Amount
     parameter gives the number of bits by which to shift or rotate.
     For shifting, zero bits are shifted in, except in the case of
     Shift_Right_Arithmetic, where one bits are shifted in if Value is
     at least half the modulus.

9.a
          Reason: We considered making shifting and rotating be
          primitive operations of all modular types.  However, it is a
          design principle of Ada that all predefined operations should
          be operators (not functions named by identifiers).  (Note that
          an early version of Ada had "abs" as an identifier, but it was
          changed to a reserved word operator before standardization of
          Ada 83.)  This is important because the implicit declarations
          would hide nonoverloadable declarations with the same name,
          whereas operators are always overloadable.  Therefore, we
          would have had to make shift and rotate into reserved words,
          which would have been upward incompatible, or else invent new
          operator symbols, which seemed like too much mechanism.

   * Floating point types corresponding to each floating point format
     fully supported by the hardware.

10.a
          Implementation Note: The names for these floating point types
          are not specified.  However, if IEEE arithmetic is supported,
          then the names should be IEEE_Float_32 and IEEE_Float_64 for
          single and double precision, respectively.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

11
An implementation may provide implementation-defined library units that
are children of Interfaces, and may add declarations to the visible part
of Interfaces in addition to the ones defined above.

11.a/2
          Implementation defined: Implementation-defined children of
          package Interfaces.

11.1/3
{<AI95-00204-01AI95-00204-01>} {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} A child
package of package Interfaces with the name of a convention may be
provided independently of whether the convention is supported by the
Convention aspect and vice versa.  Such a child package should contain
any declarations that would be useful for interfacing to the language
(implementation) represented by the convention.  Any declarations useful
for interfacing to any language on the given hardware architecture
should be provided directly in Interfaces.

11.b/2
          Ramification: For example, package Interfaces.XYZ_Pascal might
          contain declarations of types that match the data types
          provided by the XYZ implementation of Pascal, so that it will
          be more convenient to pass parameters to a subprogram whose
          convention is XYZ_Pascal.

          <This paragraph was deleted.>

13/3
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} An implementation supporting an interface to
C, COBOL, or Fortran should provide the corresponding package or
packages described in the following subclauses.

13.a.1/2
          Implementation Advice: If an interface to C, COBOL, or Fortran
          is provided, the corresponding package or packages described
          in *note Annex B::, "*note Annex B:: Interface to Other
          Languages" should also be provided.

13.a
          Implementation Note: The intention is that an implementation
          might support several implementations of the foreign language:
          Interfaces.This_Fortran and Interfaces.That_Fortran might both
          exist.  The "default" implementation, overridable by the user,
          should be declared as a renaming:

13.b
               package Interfaces.Fortran renames Interfaces.This_Fortran;

          foreign languages is optional and has the same restrictions as
          a Specialized Needs Annex.

Each of the types declared in Interfaces.C is C-compatible.

43/2
{<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} The types int, short, long, unsigned,
ptrdiff_t, size_t, double, char, wchar_t, char16_t, and char32_t
correspond respectively to the C types having the same names.  The types
signed_char, unsigned_short, unsigned_long, unsigned_char, C_float, and
long_double correspond respectively to the C types signed char, unsigned
short, unsigned long, unsigned char, float, and long double.

43.a/2
          Discussion: The C types wchar_t and char16_t seem to be the
          same.  However, wchar_t has an implementation-defined size,
          whereas char16_t is guaranteed to be an unsigned type of at
          least 16 bits.  Also, char16_t and char32_t are encouraged to
          have UTF-16 and UTF-32 representations; that means that they
          are not directly the same as the Ada types, which most likely
          don't use any UTF encoding.

44
The type of the subtype plain_char is either signed_char or
unsigned_char, depending on the C implementation.

45
     function To_C   (Item : in Character) return char;
     function To_Ada (Item : in char     ) return Character;

46
          The functions To_C and To_Ada map between the Ada type
          Character and the C type char.

46.a.1/1
          Implementation Note: {<8652/01148652/0114>}
          {<AI95-00038-01AI95-00038-01>} The To_C and To_Ada functions
          map between corresponding characters, not necessarily between
          characters with the same internal representation.
          Corresponding characters are characters defined by the same
          enumeration literal, if such exist; otherwise, the
          correspondence is unspecified.

46.a.2/1
          The following definition is equivalent to the above summary:

46.a.3/1
          To_C (Latin_1_Char) =
          char'Value(Character'Image(Latin_1_Char))
          provided that char'Value does not raise an exception;
          otherwise the result is unspecified.

46.a.4/1
          To_Ada (Native_C_Char) =
          Character'Value(char'Image(Native_C_Char))
          provided that Character'Value does not raise an exception;
          otherwise the result is unspecified.

47
     function Is_Nul_Terminated (Item : in char_array) return Boolean;

48
          The result of Is_Nul_Terminated is True if Item contains nul,
          and is False otherwise.

49
     function To_C   (Item : in String;     Append_Nul : in Boolean := True)
        return char_array;

     function To_Ada (Item : in char_array; Trim_Nul   : in Boolean := True)
        return String;

50/2
          {<AI95-00258-01AI95-00258-01>} The result of To_C is a
          char_array value of length Item'Length (if Append_Nul is
          False) or Item'Length+1 (if Append_Nul is True).  The lower
          bound is 0.  For each component Item(I), the corresponding
          component in the result is To_C applied to Item(I). The value
          nul is appended if Append_Nul is True.  If Append_Nul is False
          and Item'Length is 0, then To_C propagates Constraint_Error.

51
          The result of To_Ada is a String whose length is Item'Length
          (if Trim_Nul is False) or the length of the slice of Item
          preceding the first nul (if Trim_Nul is True).  The lower
          bound of the result is 1.  If Trim_Nul is False, then for each
          component Item(I) the corresponding component in the result is
          To_Ada applied to Item(I). If Trim_Nul is True, then for each
          component Item(I) before the first nul the corresponding
          component in the result is To_Ada applied to Item(I). The
          function propagates Terminator_Error if Trim_Nul is True and
          Item does not contain nul.

52
     procedure To_C (Item       : in  String;
                     Target     : out char_array;
                     Count      : out size_t;
                     Append_Nul : in  Boolean := True);

     procedure To_Ada (Item     : in  char_array;

                       Trim_Nul : in  Boolean := True);

53
          For procedure To_C, each element of Item is converted (via the
          To_C function) to a char, which is assigned to the
          corresponding element of Target.  If Append_Nul is True, nul
          is then assigned to the next element of Target.  In either
          case, Count is set to the number of Target elements assigned.          If Target is not long enough, Constraint_Error is propagated.

54
          For procedure To_Ada, each element of Item (if Trim_Nul is
          False) or each element of Item preceding the first nul (if
          Trim_Nul is True) is converted (via the To_Ada function) to a
          Character, which is assigned to the corresponding element of
          Target.  Count is set to the number of Target elements
          assigned.  If Target is not long enough, Constraint_Error is
          propagated.  If Trim_Nul is True and Item does not contain
          nul, then Terminator_Error is propagated.

55
     function Is_Nul_Terminated (Item : in wchar_array) return Boolean;

56
          The result of Is_Nul_Terminated is True if Item contains
          wide_nul, and is False otherwise.

57
     function To_C   (Item : in Wide_Character) return wchar_t;
     function To_Ada (Item : in wchar_t       ) return Wide_Character;

58
          To_C and To_Ada provide the mappings between the Ada and C

60.a
          Discussion: The Interfaces.C package provides an
          implementation-defined character type, char, designed to model
          the C run-time character set, and mappings between the types
          char and Character.

60.b
          One application of the C interface package is to compose a C
          string and pass it to a C function.  One way to do this is for
          the programmer to declare an object that will hold the C
          array, and then pass this array to the C function.  This is
          realized via the type char_array:

60.c
               type char_array is array (size_t range <>) of Char;

60.d
          The programmer can declare an Ada String, convert it to a
          char_array, and pass the char_array as actual parameter to the
          C function that is expecting a char *.

60.e
          An alternative approach is for the programmer to obtain a C
          char pointer from an Ada String (or from a char_array) by
          invoking an allocation function.  The package
          Interfaces.C.Strings (see below) supplies the needed
          facilities, including a private type chars_ptr that
          corresponds to C's char *, and two allocation functions.  To
          avoid storage leakage, a Free procedure releases the storage
          that was allocated by one of these allocate functions.

60.f
          It is typical for a C function that deals with strings to
          adopt the convention that the string is delimited by a nul
          char.  The C interface packages support this convention.  A
          constant nul of type Char is declared, and the function
          Value(Chars_Ptr) in Interfaces.C.Strings returns a char_array
          up to and including the first nul in the array that the
          chars_ptr points to.  The Allocate_Chars function allocates an
          array that is nul terminated.

60.g
          Some C functions that deal with strings take an explicit
          length as a parameter, thus allowing strings to be passed that
          contain nul as a data element.  Other C functions take an
          explicit length that is an upper bound: the prefix of the
          string up to the char before nul, or the prefix of the given
          length, is used by the function, whichever is shorter.  The C
          Interface packages support calling such functions.

not apply to convention C_Pass_By_Copy.  Instead, a type T is eligible
for convention C_Pass_By_Copy if T is an unchecked union type or if T is
a record type that has no discriminants and that only has components
with statically constrained subtypes, and each component is
C-compatible.

{<AI12-0028-1AI12-0028-1>} The identifiers C_Variadic_0, C_Variadic_1,

are said to be <C_Variadic>.  The convention C_Variadic_<n> is the
calling convention for a variadic C function taking <n> fixed parameters
and then a variable number of additional parameters.  The C_Variadic_<n>
convention shall only be specified as the convention aspect for a
subprogram, or for an access-to-subprogram type, having at least <n>
parameters.  A type is compatible with a C_Variadic convention if and
only if the type is C-compatible.

60.h/4
          To be honest: It is implementation defined what the largest
          <n> in C_Variadic_<n> is supported.  We don't say this because
          it complicates the wording and it is true for almost any
          <convention_>identifier (only Ada is required to be supported
          by the language, all others need to be documented in order for
          programmers to know that they are available).

{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} An implementation shall support specifying
aspect Convention with a C <convention_>identifier for a C-eligible type
(see *note B.1::).  An implementation shall support specifying aspect
Convention with a C_Pass_By_Copy <convention_>identifier for a
C_Pass_By_Copy-eligible type.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

62
An implementation may provide additional declarations in the C interface
packages.

62.1/3
{<AI05-0002-1AI05-0002-1>} {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} An implementation
need not support specifying the Convention aspect with
<convention_>identifier C in the following cases:

62.2/3
   * {<AI05-0248-1AI05-0248-1>} for a subprogram that has a parameter of
     an unconstrained array subtype, unless the Import aspect has the
     value True for the subprogram;

62.3/3
   * for a function with an unconstrained array result subtype;

62.4/3
   * for an object whose nominal subtype is an unconstrained array
     subtype.

62.a/3
          Implementation Note: {<AI05-0002-1AI05-0002-1>} These rules
          ensure that an implementation never needs to create bounds for
          an unconstrained array that originates in C (and thus does not
          have bounds).  An implementation can do so if it wishes, of
          course.  Note that these permissions do not extend to passing
          an unconstrained array as a parameter to a C function; in this
          case, the bounds can simply be dropped and thus support is
          required.

{<8652/00608652/0060>} {<AI95-00037-01AI95-00037-01>}
{<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} The constants nul, wide_nul, char16_nul,
and char32_nul should have a representation of zero.

62.b/2
          Implementation Advice: The constants nul, wide_nul,
          char16_nul, and char32_nul in package Interfaces.C should have
          a representation of zero.

63
An implementation should support the following interface correspondences
between Ada and C.

64
   * An Ada procedure corresponds to a void-returning C function.

64.a
          Discussion: The programmer can also choose an Ada procedure
          when the C function returns an int that is to be discarded.

65
   * An Ada function corresponds to a non-void C function.

65.1/4
   * {<AI12-0135-1AI12-0135-1>} An Ada enumeration type corresponds to a
     C enumeration type with corresponding enumeration literals having
     the same internal codes, provided the internal codes fall within
     the range of the C int type.

66
   * An Ada in scalar parameter is passed as a scalar argument to a C
     function.

67
   * An Ada in parameter of an access-to-object type with designated
     type T is passed as a t* argument to a C function, where t is the C
     type corresponding to the Ada type T.

68
   * An Ada access T parameter, or an Ada out or in out parameter of an
     elementary type T, is passed as a t* argument to a C function,
     where t is the C type corresponding to the Ada type T. In the case
     of an elementary out or in out parameter, a pointer to a temporary
     copy is used to preserve by-copy semantics.

68.1/2
   * {<8652/00598652/0059>} {<AI95-00131-01AI95-00131-01>}
     {<AI95-00343-01AI95-00343-01>} An Ada parameter of a (record) type
     T of convention C_Pass_By_Copy, of mode in, is passed as a t
     argument to a C function, where t is the C struct corresponding to
     the Ada type T.

69/2
   * {<8652/00598652/0059>} {<AI95-00131-01AI95-00131-01>}
     {<AI95-00343-01AI95-00343-01>} An Ada parameter of a record type T,
     of any mode, other than an in parameter of a type of convention
     C_Pass_By_Copy, is passed as a t* argument to a C function, where t
     is the C struct corresponding to the Ada type T.

70
   * An Ada parameter of an array type with component type T, of any
     mode, is passed as a t* argument to a C function, where t is the C
     type corresponding to the Ada type T.

71
   * An Ada parameter of an access-to-subprogram type is passed as a
     pointer to a C function whose prototype corresponds to the
     designated subprogram's specification.

71.1/3
   * {<AI05-0002-1AI05-0002-1>} An Ada parameter of a private type is
     passed as specified for the full view of the type.

71.2/3
   * {<AI05-0002-1AI05-0002-1>} The rules of correspondence given above
     for parameters of mode in also apply to the return object of a
     function.

71.a/2
          Implementation Advice: If C interfacing is supported, the
          interface correspondences between Ada and C should be
          supported.

     NOTES

72
     6  Values of type char_array are not implicitly terminated with
     nul.  If a char_array is to be passed as a parameter to an imported
     C function requiring nul termination, it is the programmer's
     responsibility to obtain this effect.

73
     7  To obtain the effect of C's sizeof(item_type), where Item_Type
     is the corresponding Ada type, evaluate the expression:
     size_t(Item_Type'Size/CHAR_BIT).

75/4
     8  {<AI12-0028-1AI12-0028-1>} A variadic C function can correspond
     to several Ada subprograms, taking various specific numbers and
     types of parameters.

          These changes allow (but don't require) compilers to reject
          unreasonable uses of array types.  Such uses probably didn't
          work anyway (and probably were rejected, no matter what the

B.3.1 The Package Interfaces.C.Strings
--------------------------------------

1/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} The package Interfaces.C.Strings declares
types and subprograms allowing an Ada program to allocate, reference,
update, and free C-style strings.  In particular, the private type
chars_ptr corresponds to a common use of "char *" in C programs, and an
object of this type can be passed to a subprogram to which with Import
=> True, Convention => C has been specified, and for which "char *" is
the type of the argument of the C function.

                          _Static Semantics_

2
The library package Interfaces.C.Strings has the following declaration:

3
     package Interfaces.C.Strings is
        pragma Preelaborate(Strings);

4
        type char_array_access is access all char_array;

5/2
     {<AI95-00161-01AI95-00161-01>}    type chars_ptr is private;
        pragma Preelaborable_Initialization(chars_ptr);

6/2
     {<AI95-00276-01AI95-00276-01>}    type chars_ptr_array is array (size_t range <>) of aliased chars_ptr;

7
        Null_Ptr : constant chars_ptr;

8
        function To_Chars_Ptr (Item      : in char_array_access;
                               Nul_Check : in Boolean := False)
           return chars_ptr;

9
        function New_Char_Array (Chars   : in char_array) return chars_ptr;

10
        function New_String (Str : in String) return chars_ptr;

11
        procedure Free (Item : in out chars_ptr);

12
        Dereference_Error : exception;

13
        function Value (Item : in chars_ptr) return char_array;

14
        function Value (Item : in chars_ptr; Length : in size_t)
           return char_array;

15
        function Value (Item : in chars_ptr) return String;

16
        function Value (Item : in chars_ptr; Length : in size_t)
           return String;

17
        function Strlen (Item : in chars_ptr) return size_t;

18
        procedure Update (Item   : in chars_ptr;
                          Offset : in size_t;
                          Chars  : in char_array;
                          Check  : in Boolean := True);

19
        procedure Update (Item   : in chars_ptr;
                          Offset : in size_t;
                          Str    : in String;
                          Check  : in Boolean := True);

20
        Update_Error : exception;

21
     private
        ... -- <not specified by the language>
     end Interfaces.C.Strings;

21.a
          Discussion: The string manipulation types and subprograms
          appear in a child of Interfaces.C versus being there directly,
          since it is useful to have Interfaces.C specified as pragma
          Pure.

21.b
          Differently named functions New_String and New_Char_Array are
          declared, since if there were a single overloaded function a
          call with a string literal as actual parameter would be
          ambiguous.

22
The type chars_ptr is C-compatible and corresponds to the use of C's
"char *" for a pointer to the first char in a char array terminated by
nul.  When an object of type chars_ptr is declared, its value is by
default set to Null_Ptr, unless the object is imported (see *note
B.1::).

22.a
          Discussion: The type char_array_access is not necessarily
          C-compatible, since an object of this type may carry "dope"
          information.  The programmer should convert from
          char_array_access to chars_ptr for objects imported from,
          exported to, or passed to C.

23
     function To_Chars_Ptr (Item      : in char_array_access;
                            Nul_Check : in Boolean := False)
        return chars_ptr;

24/3
          {<8652/00618652/0061>} {<AI95-00140-01AI95-00140-01>}
          {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} If Item is null, then To_Chars_Ptr
          returns Null_Ptr.  If Item is not null, Nul_Check is True, and
          Item.all does not contain nul, then the function propagates
          Terminator_Error; otherwise, To_Chars_Ptr performs a pointer
          conversion with no allocation of memory.

25
     function New_Char_Array (Chars   : in char_array) return chars_ptr;

26
          This function returns a pointer to an allocated object
          initialized to Chars(Chars'First ..  Index) & nul, where

27
             * Index = Chars'Last if Chars does not contain nul, or

28
             * Index is the smallest size_t value I such that Chars(I+1)
               = nul.

28.1
          Storage_Error is propagated if the allocation fails.

29
     function New_String (Str : in String) return chars_ptr;

30
          This function is equivalent to New_Char_Array(To_C(Str)).

31
     procedure Free (Item : in out chars_ptr);

32
          If Item is Null_Ptr, then Free has no effect.  Otherwise, Free
          releases the storage occupied by Value(Item), and resets Item
          to Null_Ptr.

33
     function Value (Item : in chars_ptr) return char_array;

34/3
          {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} If Item = Null_Ptr, then Value
          propagates Dereference_Error.  Otherwise, Value returns the
          prefix of the array of chars pointed to by Item, up to and
          including the first nul.  The lower bound of the result is 0.
          If Item does not point to a nul-terminated string, then
          execution of Value is erroneous.

35
     function Value (Item : in chars_ptr; Length : in size_t)
        return char_array;

36/3
          {<8652/00628652/0062>} {<AI95-00139-01AI95-00139-01>}
          {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} If Item = Null_Ptr, then Value
          propagates Dereference_Error.  Otherwise, Value returns the
          shorter of two arrays, either the first Length chars pointed
          to by Item, or Value(Item).  The lower bound of the result is
          0.  If Length is 0, then Value propagates Constraint_Error.

36.a
          Ramification: Value(New_Char_Array(Chars)) = Chars if Chars
          does not contain nul; else Value(New_Char_Array( Chars)) is
          the prefix of Chars up to and including the first nul.

37
     function Value (Item : in chars_ptr) return String;

38
          Equivalent to To_Ada(Value(Item), Trim_Nul=>True).

39
     function Value (Item : in chars_ptr; Length : in size_t)
        return String;

40/1
          {<8652/00638652/0063>} {<AI95-00177-01AI95-00177-01>}
          Equivalent to To_Ada(Value(Item, Length) & nul,
          Trim_Nul=>True).

41
     function Strlen (Item : in chars_ptr) return size_t;

42
          Returns <Val>'Length-1 where <Val> = Value(Item); propagates
          Dereference_Error if Item = Null_Ptr.

42.a
          Ramification: Strlen returns the number of chars in the array
          pointed to by Item, up to and including the char immediately
          before the first nul.

42.b
          Strlen has the same possibility for erroneous execution as
          Value, in cases where the string has not been nul-terminated.

42.c
          Strlen has the effect of C's strlen function.

43
     procedure Update (Item   : in chars_ptr;
                       Offset : in size_t;
                       Chars  : in char_array;
                       Check  : Boolean := True);

44/1
          {<8652/00648652/0064>} {<AI95-00039-01AI95-00039-01>} If Item
          = Null_Ptr, then Update propagates Dereference_Error.
          Otherwise, this procedure updates the value pointed to by
          Item, starting at position Offset, using Chars as the data to
          be copied into the array.  Overwriting the nul terminator, and
          skipping with the Offset past the nul terminator, are both
          prevented if Check is True, as follows:

45
             * Let N = Strlen(Item).  If Check is True, then:

46
                       * If Offset+Chars'Length>N, propagate
                         Update_Error.

47
                       * Otherwise, overwrite the data in the array
                         pointed to by Item, starting at the char at
                         position Offset, with the data in Chars.

48
             * If Check is False, then processing is as above, but with
               no check that Offset+Chars'Length>N.

48.a
          Ramification: If Chars contains nul, Update's effect may be to
          "shorten" the pointed-to char array.

49
     procedure Update (Item   : in chars_ptr;
                       Offset : in size_t;
                       Str    : in String;
                       Check  : in Boolean := True);

50/2
          {<AI95-00242-01AI95-00242-01>} Equivalent to Update(Item,
          Offset, To_C(Str, Append_Nul => False), Check).

50.a/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00242-01AI95-00242-01>} To truncate the
          Item to the length of Str, use Update(Item, Offset, To_C(Str),
          Check) instead of Update(Item, Offset, Str, Check).  Note that
          when truncating Item, Item must be longer than Str.

                         _Erroneous Execution_

51
Execution of any of the following is erroneous if the Item parameter is
not null_ptr and Item does not point to a nul-terminated array of chars.

52
   * a Value function not taking a Length parameter,

53
   * the Free procedure,

54
   * the Strlen function.

55
Execution of Free(X) is also erroneous if the chars_ptr X was not
returned by New_Char_Array or New_String.

56
Reading or updating a freed char_array is erroneous.

57
Execution of Update is erroneous if Check is False and a call with Check
equal to True would have propagated Update_Error.

     NOTES

58
     9  New_Char_Array and New_String might be implemented either
     through the allocation function from the C environment ("malloc")
     or through Ada dynamic memory allocation ("new").  The key points
     are

59
        * the returned value (a chars_ptr) is represented as a C "char
          *" so that it may be passed to C functions;

60
        * the allocated object should be freed by the programmer via a
          call of Free, not by a called C function.

                     _Inconsistencies With Ada 95_

60.a/2
          {<AI95-00242-01AI95-00242-01>} Amendment Correction: Update
          for a String parameter is now defined to not add a nul
          character.  It did add a nul in Ada 95.  This means that
          programs that used this behavior of Update to truncate a
          string will no longer work (the string will not be truncated).
          This change makes Update for a string consistent with Update
          for a char_array (no implicit nul is added to the end of a
          char_array).

                        _Extensions to Ada 95_

60.b/2
          {<AI95-00161-01AI95-00161-01>} Amendment Correction: Added
          pragma Preelaborable_Initialization to type chars_ptr, so that
          it can be used in preelaborated units.

60.c/2
          {<AI95-00276-01AI95-00276-01>} Amendment Correction: The
          components of chars_ptr_array are aliased so that it can be
          used to instantiate Interfaces.C.Pointers (that is its
          intended purpose, which is otherwise mysterious as it has no
          operations).

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

          Corrigendum: Fixed the missing semantics of To_Char_Ptr when
          Nul_Check is False.

          {<8652/00628652/0062>} {<AI95-00139-01AI95-00139-01>}
          Corrigendum: Fixed the missing semantics of Value when the
          Length is 0.

          {<8652/00638652/0063>} {<AI95-00177-01AI95-00177-01>}
          Corrigendum: Corrected the definition of Value to avoid
          raising Terminator_Error.

60.g/2
          {<8652/00648652/0064>} {<AI95-00039-01AI95-00039-01>}
          Corrigendum: Fixed the missing semantics of Update when Item
          is Null_Ptr.

B.3.2 The Generic Package Interfaces.C.Pointers
-----------------------------------------------

1
The generic package Interfaces.C.Pointers allows the Ada programmer to
perform C-style operations on pointers.  It includes an access type
Pointer, Value functions that dereference a Pointer and deliver the
designated array, several pointer arithmetic operations, and "copy"
procedures that copy the contents of a source pointer into the array
designated by a destination pointer.  As in C, it treats an object Ptr
of type Pointer as a pointer to the first element of an array, so that
for example, adding 1 to Ptr yields a pointer to the second element of
the array.

2
The generic allows two styles of usage: one in which the array is
terminated by a special terminator element; and another in which the
programmer needs to keep track of the length.

                          _Static Semantics_

3
The generic library package Interfaces.C.Pointers has the following
declaration:

4
     generic
        type Index is (<>);
        type Element is private;
        type Element_Array is array (Index range <>) of aliased Element;
        Default_Terminator : Element;
     package Interfaces.C.Pointers is
        pragma Preelaborate(Pointers);

5
        type Pointer is access all Element;

6
        function Value(Ref        : in Pointer;
                       Terminator : in Element := Default_Terminator)
           return Element_Array;

7
        function Value(Ref    : in Pointer;
                       Length : in ptrdiff_t)
           return Element_Array;

        function "+" (Left : in ptrdiff_t; Right : in Pointer)   return Pointer

           with Convention => Intrinsic;

     <This paragraph was deleted.>{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>}

13
        function Virtual_Length (Ref        : in Pointer;
                                 Terminator : in Element := Default_Terminator)
           return ptrdiff_t;

14
        procedure Copy_Terminated_Array
           (Source     : in Pointer;
            Target     : in Pointer;
            Limit      : in ptrdiff_t := ptrdiff_t'Last;
            Terminator : in Element :=  Default_Terminator);

15
        procedure Copy_Array (Source  : in Pointer;
                              Target  : in Pointer;
                              Length  : in ptrdiff_t);

16
     end Interfaces.C.Pointers;

17
The type Pointer is C-compatible and corresponds to one use of C's
"Element *".  An object of type Pointer is interpreted as a pointer to
the initial Element in an Element_Array.  Two styles are supported:

18
   * Explicit termination of an array value with Default_Terminator (a
     special terminator value);

19
   * Programmer-managed length, with Default_Terminator treated simply
     as a data element.

20
     function Value(Ref        : in Pointer;
                    Terminator : in Element := Default_Terminator)
        return Element_Array;

21
          This function returns an Element_Array whose value is the
          array pointed to by Ref, up to and including the first
          Terminator; the lower bound of the array is Index'First.
          Interfaces.C.Strings.Dereference_Error is propagated if Ref is
          null.

22
     function Value(Ref    : in Pointer;
                    Length : in ptrdiff_t)
        return Element_Array;

23
          This function returns an Element_Array comprising the first
          Length elements pointed to by Ref.  The exception
          Interfaces.C.Strings.Dereference_Error is propagated if Ref is
          null.

24
The "+" and "-" functions perform arithmetic on Pointer values, based on
the Size of the array elements.  In each of these functions,
Pointer_Error is propagated if a Pointer parameter is null.

25
     procedure Increment (Ref : in out Pointer);

26
          Equivalent to Ref := Ref+1.

27
     procedure Decrement (Ref : in out Pointer);

28
          Equivalent to Ref := Ref-1.

29
     function Virtual_Length (Ref        : in Pointer;
                              Terminator : in Element := Default_Terminator)
        return ptrdiff_t;

30
          Returns the number of Elements, up to the one just before the
          first Terminator, in Value(Ref, Terminator).

31
     procedure Copy_Terminated_Array
        (Source     : in Pointer;
         Target     : in Pointer;
         Limit      : in ptrdiff_t := ptrdiff_t'Last;
         Terminator : in Element := Default_Terminator);

32
          This procedure copies Value(Source, Terminator) into the array
          pointed to by Target; it stops either after Terminator has
          been copied, or the number of elements copied is Limit,
          whichever occurs first.  Dereference_Error is propagated if
          either Source or Target is null.

32.a
          Ramification: It is the programmer's responsibility to ensure
          that elements are not copied beyond the logical length of the
          target array.

32.b
          Implementation Note: The implementation has to take care to
          check the Limit first.

33
     procedure Copy_Array (Source  : in Pointer;
                           Target  : in Pointer;
                           Length  : in ptrdiff_t);

34
          This procedure copies the first Length elements from the array
          pointed to by Source, into the array pointed to by Target.
          Dereference_Error is propagated if either Source or Target is
          null.

                         _Erroneous Execution_

35
It is erroneous to dereference a Pointer that does not designate an
aliased Element.

35.a
          Discussion: Such a Pointer could arise via "+", "-",
          Increment, or Decrement.

36
Execution of Value(Ref, Terminator) is erroneous if Ref does not
designate an aliased Element in an Element_Array terminated by
Terminator.

37
Execution of Value(Ref, Length) is erroneous if Ref does not designate
an aliased Element in an Element_Array containing at least Length
Elements between the designated Element and the end of the array,
inclusive.

38
Execution of Virtual_Length(Ref, Terminator) is erroneous if Ref does
not designate an aliased Element in an Element_Array terminated by
Terminator.

39
Execution of Copy_Terminated_Array(Source, Target, Limit, Terminator) is
erroneous in either of the following situations:

40
   * Execution of both Value(Source, Terminator) and Value(Source,
     Limit) are erroneous, or

41
   * Copying writes past the end of the array containing the Element
     designated by Target.

42
Execution of Copy_Array(Source, Target, Length) is erroneous if either
Value(Source, Length) is erroneous, or copying writes past the end of
the array containing the Element designated by Target.

     NOTES

43
     10  To compose a Pointer from an Element_Array, use 'Access on the
     first element.  For example (assuming appropriate instantiations):

44
          Some_Array   : Element_Array(0..5) ;
          Some_Pointer : Pointer := Some_Array(0)'Access;

B.3.3 Unchecked Union Types
---------------------------

1/3
{<AI95-00216-01AI95-00216-01>} {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>}
{<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>} [Specifying aspect Unchecked_Union to have
the value True defines an interface correspondence between a given
discriminated type and some C union.  The aspect requires that the
associated type shall be given a representation that allocates no space
for its discriminant(s).]

<Paragraphs 2 through 3 were moved to *note Annex J::, "*note Annex J::
Obsolescent Features".>

                          _Static Semantics_

3.1/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} For a discriminated record type having a
variant_part, the following language-defined representation aspect may
be specified:

3.2/3
Unchecked_Union
               The type of aspect Unchecked_Union is Boolean.  If
               directly specified, the aspect_definition shall be a
               static expression.  If not specified (including by
               inheritance), the aspect is False.

3.a/3
          Aspect Description for Unchecked_Union: Type is used to
          interface to a C union type.

                           _Legality Rules_

<Paragraphs 4 and 5 were deleted.>

6/3
{<AI95-00216-01AI95-00216-01>} {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} A type for
which aspect Unchecked_Union is True is called an <unchecked union
type>.  A subtype of an unchecked union type is defined to be an
<unchecked union subtype>.  An object of an unchecked union type is
defined to be an <unchecked union object>.

7/2
{<AI95-00216-01AI95-00216-01>} All component subtypes of an unchecked
union type shall be C-compatible.

8/2
{<AI95-00216-01AI95-00216-01>} If a component subtype of an unchecked
union type is subject to a per-object constraint, then the component
subtype shall be an unchecked union subtype.

9/3
{<AI95-00216-01AI95-00216-01>} {<AI05-0026-1AI05-0026-1>} Any name that
denotes a discriminant of an object of an unchecked union type shall
occur within the declarative region of the type, and shall not occur
within a record_representation_clause.

10/3
{<AI95-00216-01AI95-00216-01>} {<AI05-0026-1AI05-0026-1>} The type of a
component declared in a variant_part of an unchecked union type shall
not need finalization.  In addition to the places where Legality Rules
normally apply (see *note 12.3::), this rule also applies in the private
part of an instance of a generic unit.  For an unchecked union type
declared within the body of a generic unit, or within the body of any of
its descendant library units, no part of the type of a component
declared in a variant_part of the unchecked union type shall be of a
formal private type or formal private extension declared within the
formal part of the generic unit.

10.a/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0026-1AI05-0026-1>} The last part is a classic
          assume-the-worst rule that avoids dependence on the actuals in
          a generic body.  We did not include this in the definition of
          "needs finalization" as it has a bad interaction with the use
          of that term for the No_Nested_Finalization restriction.

11/2
{<AI95-00216-01AI95-00216-01>} The completion of an incomplete or
private type declaration having a known_discriminant_part shall not be
an unchecked union type.

12/2
{<AI95-00216-01AI95-00216-01>} An unchecked union subtype shall only be
passed as a generic actual parameter if the corresponding formal type
has no known discriminants or is an unchecked union type.

12.a/2
          Ramification: This includes formal private types without a
          known_discriminant_part, formal derived types that do not
          inherit any discriminants (formal derived types do not have
          known_discriminant_parts), and formal derived types that are
          unchecked union types.

                          _Static Semantics_

13/2
{<AI95-00216-01AI95-00216-01>} An unchecked union type is eligible for
convention C.

14/2
{<AI95-00216-01AI95-00216-01>} All objects of an unchecked union type
have the same size.

15/2
{<AI95-00216-01AI95-00216-01>} Discriminants of objects of an unchecked
union type are of size zero.

16/2
{<AI95-00216-01AI95-00216-01>} Any check which would require reading a
discriminant of an unchecked union object is suppressed (see *note
11.5::).  These checks include:

17/2
   * The check performed when addressing a variant component (i.e., a
     component that was declared in a variant part) of an unchecked
     union object that the object has this component (see *note
     4.1.3::).

18/2
   * Any checks associated with a type or subtype conversion of a value
     of an unchecked union type (see *note 4.6::).  This includes, for
     example, the check associated with the implicit subtype conversion
     of an assignment statement.

19/2
   * The subtype membership check associated with the evaluation of a
     qualified expression (see *note 4.7::) or an uninitialized
     allocator (see *note 4.8::).

19.a/2
          Discussion: If a suppressed check would have failed, execution
          is erroneous (see *note 11.5::).  An implementation is always
          allowed to make a suppressed check if it can somehow determine
          the discriminant value.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

20/2
{<AI95-00216-01AI95-00216-01>} A view of an unchecked union object
(including a type conversion or function call) has <inferable
discriminants> if it has a constrained nominal subtype, unless the
object is a component of an enclosing unchecked union object that is
subject to a per-object constraint and the enclosing object lacks
inferable discriminants.

21/2
{<AI95-00216-01AI95-00216-01>} An expression of an unchecked union type
has inferable discriminants if it is either a name of an object with
inferable discriminants or a qualified expression whose subtype_mark
denotes a constrained subtype.

22/2
{<AI95-00216-01AI95-00216-01>} Program_Error is raised in the following
cases:

23/2
   * Evaluation of the predefined equality operator for an unchecked
     union type if either of the operands lacks inferable discriminants.

24/2
   * Evaluation of the predefined equality operator for a type which has
     a subcomponent of an unchecked union type whose nominal subtype is
     unconstrained.

25/2
   * Evaluation of a membership test if the subtype_mark denotes a
     constrained unchecked union subtype and the expression lacks
     inferable discriminants.

26/2
   * Conversion from a derived unchecked union type to an unconstrained
     non-unchecked-union type if the operand of the conversion lacks
     inferable discriminants.

27/2
   * Execution of the default implementation of the Write or Read
     attribute of an unchecked union type.

28/2
   * Execution of the default implementation of the Output or Input
     attribute of an unchecked union type if the type lacks default
     discriminant values.

<Paragraph 29 was deleted.>

     NOTES

30/2
     11  {<AI95-00216-01AI95-00216-01>} The use of an unchecked union to
     obtain the effect of an unchecked conversion results in erroneous
     execution (see *note 11.5::).  Execution of the following example
     is erroneous even if Float'Size = Integer'Size:

          {<AI05-0026-1AI05-0026-1>} Correction: The use of
          discriminants on Unchecked_Union types is now illegal in
          record_representation_clauses, as it makes no sense to specify
          a position for something that is not supposed to exist.  It is
          very unlikely that this change will have any impact on
          existing code.

B.4 Interfacing with COBOL
==========================

1/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} The facilities relevant to interfacing with
the COBOL language are the package Interfaces.COBOL and support for
specifying the Convention aspect with <convention_>identifier COBOL.

2
The COBOL interface package supplies several sets of facilities:

3
   * A set of types corresponding to the native COBOL types of the
     supported COBOL implementation (so-called "internal COBOL
     representations"), allowing Ada data to be passed as parameters to
     COBOL programs

4
   * A set of types and constants reflecting external data
     representations such as might be found in files or databases,
     allowing COBOL-generated data to be read by an Ada program, and
     Ada-generated data to be read by COBOL programs

5
   * A generic package for converting between an Ada decimal type value
     and either an internal or external COBOL representation

                          _Static Semantics_

The library package Interfaces.COBOL has the following declaration:

50.a/1
          Implementation defined: The types Floating, Long_Floating,
          Binary, Long_Binary, Decimal_Element, and COBOL_Character; and
          the initializations of the variables Ada_To_COBOL and
          COBOL_To_Ada, in Interfaces.COBOL.

51
Each of the types in Interfaces.COBOL is COBOL-compatible.

52
The types Floating and Long_Floating correspond to the native types in
COBOL for data items with computational usage implemented by floating
point.  The types Binary and Long_Binary correspond to the native types
in COBOL for data items with binary usage, or with computational usage
implemented by binary.

53
Max_Digits_Binary is the largest number of decimal digits in a numeric
value that is represented as Binary.  Max_Digits_Long_Binary is the
largest number of decimal digits in a numeric value that is represented
as Long_Binary.

54
The type Packed_Decimal corresponds to COBOL's packed-decimal usage.

55
The type COBOL_Character defines the run-time character set used in the
COBOL implementation.  Ada_To_COBOL and COBOL_To_Ada are the mappings
between the Ada and COBOL run-time character sets.

55.a
          Reason: The character mappings are visible variables, since
          the user needs the ability to modify them at run time.

56
Type Alphanumeric corresponds to COBOL's alphanumeric data category.

57
Each of the functions To_COBOL and To_Ada converts its parameter based
on the mappings Ada_To_COBOL and COBOL_To_Ada, respectively.  The length
of the result for each is the length of the parameter, and the lower
bound of the result is 1.  Each component of the result is obtained by
applying the relevant mapping to the corresponding component of the
parameter.

58
Each of the procedures To_COBOL and To_Ada copies converted elements
from Item to Target, using the appropriate mapping (Ada_To_COBOL or
COBOL_To_Ada, respectively).  The index in Target of the last element
assigned is returned in Last (0 if Item is a null array).  If
Item'Length exceeds Target'Length, Constraint_Error is propagated.

59
Type Numeric corresponds to COBOL's numeric data category with display
usage.

60
The types Display_Format, Binary_Format, and Packed_Format are used in
conversions between Ada decimal type values and COBOL internal or
external data representations.  The value of the constant Native_Binary
is either High_Order_First or Low_Order_First, depending on the
implementation.

61
     function Valid (Item   : in Numeric;
                     Format : in Display_Format) return Boolean;

62
          The function Valid checks that the Item parameter has a value
          consistent with the value of Format.  If the value of Format
          is other than Unsigned, Leading_Separate, and
          Trailing_Separate, the effect is implementation defined.  If
          Format does have one of these values, the following rules
          apply:

63/3
             * {<8652/00668652/0066>} {<AI95-00071-01AI95-00071-01>}
               {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} Format=Unsigned: if Item
               comprises one or more decimal digit characters, then
               Valid returns True, else it returns False.

64/1
             * {<8652/00668652/0066>} {<AI95-00071-01AI95-00071-01>}
               Format=Leading_Separate: if Item comprises a single
               occurrence of the plus or minus sign character, and then
               one or more decimal digit characters, then Valid returns
               True, else it returns False.

65/1
             * {<8652/00668652/0066>} {<AI95-00071-01AI95-00071-01>}
               Format=Trailing_Separate: if Item comprises one or more
               decimal digit characters and finally a plus or minus sign
               character, then Valid returns True, else it returns
               False.

66
     function Length (Format : in Display_Format) return Natural;

67
          The Length function returns the minimal length of a Numeric
          value sufficient to hold any value of type Num when
          represented as Format.

68
     function To_Decimal (Item   : in Numeric;
                          Format : in Display_Format) return Num;

69
          Produces a value of type Num corresponding to Item as
          represented by Format.  The number of digits after the assumed
          radix point in Item is Num'Scale.  Conversion_Error is
          propagated if the value represented by Item is outside the
          range of Num.

69.a
          Discussion: There is no issue of truncation versus rounding,
          since the number of decimal places is established by
          Num'Scale.

70
     function To_Display (Item   : in Num;
                          Format : in Display_Format) return Numeric;

71/1
          {<8652/00678652/0067>} {<AI95-00072-01AI95-00072-01>} This
          function returns the Numeric value for Item, represented in
          accordance with Format.  The length of the returned value is
          Length(Format), and the lower bound is 1.  Conversion_Error is
          propagated if Num is negative and Format is Unsigned.

72
     function Valid (Item   : in Packed_Decimal;
                     Format : in Packed_Format) return Boolean;

73
          This function returns True if Item has a value consistent with
          Format, and False otherwise.  The rules for the formation of
          Packed_Decimal values are implementation defined.

74
     function Length (Format : in Packed_Format) return Natural;

75
          This function returns the minimal length of a Packed_Decimal
          value sufficient to hold any value of type Num when
          represented as Format.

76
     function To_Decimal (Item   : in Packed_Decimal;
                          Format : in Packed_Format) return Num;

77
          Produces a value of type Num corresponding to Item as
          represented by Format.  Num'Scale is the number of digits
          after the assumed radix point in Item.  Conversion_Error is
          propagated if the value represented by Item is outside the
          range of Num.

78
     function To_Packed (Item   : in Num;
                         Format : in Packed_Format) return Packed_Decimal;

79/1
          {<8652/00678652/0067>} {<AI95-00072-01AI95-00072-01>} This
          function returns the Packed_Decimal value for Item,
          represented in accordance with Format.  The length of the
          returned value is Length(Format), and the lower bound is 1.
          Conversion_Error is propagated if Num is negative and Format
          is Packed_Unsigned.

80
     function Valid (Item   : in Byte_Array;
                     Format : in Binary_Format) return Boolean;

81
          This function returns True if Item has a value consistent with
          Format, and False otherwise.

81.a
          Ramification: This function returns False only when the
          represented value is outside the range of Num.

82
     function Length (Format : in Binary_Format) return Natural;

83
          This function returns the minimal length of a Byte_Array value
          sufficient to hold any value of type Num when represented as
          Format.

84
     function To_Decimal (Item   : in Byte_Array;
                          Format : in Binary_Format) return Num;

85
          Produces a value of type Num corresponding to Item as
          represented by Format.  Num'Scale is the number of digits
          after the assumed radix point in Item.  Conversion_Error is
          propagated if the value represented by Item is outside the
          range of Num.

86
     function To_Binary (Item   : in Num;
                         Format : in Binary_Format) return Byte_Array;

87/1
          {<8652/00678652/0067>} {<AI95-00072-01AI95-00072-01>} This
          function returns the Byte_Array value for Item, represented in
          accordance with Format.  The length of the returned value is
          Length(Format), and the lower bound is 1.

88
     function To_Decimal (Item : in Binary)      return Num;

     function To_Decimal (Item : in Long_Binary) return Num;

89
          These functions convert from COBOL binary format to a
          corresponding value of the decimal type Num.  Conversion_Error
          is propagated if Item is too large for Num.

89.a
          Ramification: There is no rescaling performed on the
          conversion.  That is, the returned value in each case is a
          "bit copy" if Num has a binary radix.  The programmer is
          responsible for maintaining the correct scale.

90
     function To_Binary      (Item : in Num)  return Binary;

     function To_Long_Binary (Item : in Num)  return Long_Binary;

91
          These functions convert from Ada decimal to COBOL binary
          format.  Conversion_Error is propagated if the value of Item
          is too large to be represented in the result type.

91.a
          Discussion: One style of interface supported for COBOL,
          similar to what is provided for C, is the ability to call and
          pass parameters to an existing COBOL program.  Thus the
          interface package supplies types that can be used in an Ada
          program as parameters to subprograms whose bodies will be in
          COBOL. These types map to COBOL's alphanumeric and numeric
          data categories.

91.b
          Several types are provided for support of alphanumeric data.
          Since COBOL's run-time character set is not necessarily the
          same as Ada's, Interfaces.COBOL declares an
          implementation-defined character type COBOL_Character, and
          mappings between Character and COBOL_Character.  These
          mappings are visible variables (rather than, say, functions or
          constant arrays), since in the situation where COBOL_Character
          is EBCDIC, the flexibility of dynamically modifying the
          mappings is needed.  Corresponding to COBOL's alphanumeric
          data is the string type Alphanumeric.

91.c
          Numeric data may have either a "display" or "computational"
          representation in COBOL. On the Ada side, the data is of a
          decimal fixed point type.  Passing an Ada decimal data item to
          a COBOL program requires conversion from the Ada decimal type
          to some type that reflects the representation expected on the
          COBOL side.

91.d
             * Computational Representation

91.e
               Floating point representation is modeled by Ada floating
               point types, Floating and Long_Floating.  Conversion
               between these types and Ada decimal types is obtained
               directly, since the type name serves as a conversion
               function.

91.f
               Binary representation is modeled by an Ada integer type,
               Binary, and possibly other types such as Long_Binary.
               Conversion between, say, Binary and a decimal type is
               through functions from an instantiation of the generic
               package Decimal_Conversions.

91.g
               Packed decimal representation is modeled by the Ada array
               type Packed_Decimal.  Conversion between packed decimal
               and a decimal type is through functions from an
               instantiation of the generic package Decimal_Conversions.

91.h
             * Display Representation

91.i
               Display representation for numeric data is modeled by the
               array type Numeric.  Conversion between display
               representation and a decimal type is through functions
               from an instantiation of the generic package
               Decimal_Conversions.  A parameter to the conversion
               function indicates the desired interpretation of the data
               (e.g., signed leading separate, etc.)

91.j/3
          {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} The Convention of a record type may
          be specified as COBOL to direct the compiler to choose a
          COBOL-compatible representation for objects of the type.

91.k
          The package Interfaces.COBOL allows the Ada programmer to deal
          with data from files (or databases) created by a COBOL
          program.  For data that is alphanumeric, or in display or
          packed decimal format, the approach is the same as for passing
          parameters (instantiate Decimal_Conversions to obtain the
          needed conversion functions).  For binary data, the external
          representation is treated as a Byte array, and an
          instantiation of Decimal_IO produces a package that declares
          the needed conversion functions.  A parameter to the
          conversion function indicates the desired interpretation of
          the data (e.g., high- versus low-order byte first).

                     _Implementation Requirements_

92/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} An implementation shall support specifying
aspect Convention with a COBOL <convention>_identifier for a
COBOL-eligible type (see *note B.1::).

92.a
          Ramification: An implementation supporting this package shall
          ensure that if the bounds of a Packed_Decimal, Alphanumeric,
          or Numeric variable are static, then the representation of the
          object comprises solely the array components (that is, there
          is no implicit run-time "descriptor" that is part of the
          object).

                     _Implementation Permissions_

93
An implementation may provide additional constants of the private types
Display_Format, Binary_Format, or Packed_Format.

93.a
          Reason: This is to allow exploitation of other external
          formats that may be available in the COBOL implementation.

94
An implementation may provide further floating point and integer types
in Interfaces.COBOL to match additional native COBOL types, and may also
supply corresponding conversion functions in the generic package
Decimal_Conversions.

                        _Implementation Advice_

95
An Ada implementation should support the following interface
correspondences between Ada and COBOL.

96
   * An Ada access T parameter is passed as a "BY REFERENCE" data item
     of the COBOL type corresponding to T.

97
   * An Ada in scalar parameter is passed as a "BY CONTENT" data item of
     the corresponding COBOL type.

98
   * Any other Ada parameter is passed as a "BY REFERENCE" data item of
     the COBOL type corresponding to the Ada parameter type; for
     scalars, a local copy is used if necessary to ensure by-copy
     semantics.

98.a/2
          Implementation Advice: If COBOL interfacing is supported, the
          interface correspondences between Ada and COBOL should be
          supported.

     NOTES

99/3
     12  {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} An implementation is not required to
     support specifying aspect Convention for access types, nor is it
     required to support specifying aspects Import, Export, or
     Convention for functions.

99.a
          Reason: COBOL does not have a pointer facility, and a COBOL
          program does not return a value.

100
     13  If an Ada subprogram is exported to COBOL, then a call from
     COBOL call may specify either "BY CONTENT" or "BY REFERENCE".

B.5 Interfacing with Fortran
============================

1/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} The facilities relevant to interfacing with
the Fortran language are the package Interfaces.Fortran and support for
specifying the Convention aspect with <convention_>identifier Fortran.

2
The package Interfaces.Fortran defines Ada types whose representations
are identical to the default representations of the Fortran intrinsic
types Integer, Real, Double Precision, Complex, Logical, and Character
in a supported Fortran implementation.  These Ada types can therefore be
used to pass objects between Ada and Fortran programs.

                          _Static Semantics_

3
The library package Interfaces.Fortran has the following declaration:

4
     with Ada.Numerics.Generic_Complex_Types;  <-- see *note G.1.1::>
     pragma Elaborate_All(Ada.Numerics.Generic_Complex_Types);
     package Interfaces.Fortran is
        pragma Pure(Fortran);

5
        type Fortran_Integer is range <implementation-defined>;

6
        type Real             is digits <implementation-defined>;
        type Double_Precision is digits <implementation-defined>;

7
        type Logical is new Boolean;

8
        package Single_Precision_Complex_Types is
           new Ada.Numerics.Generic_Complex_Types (Real);

9
        type Complex is new Single_Precision_Complex_Types.Complex;

10
        subtype Imaginary is Single_Precision_Complex_Types.Imaginary;
        i : Imaginary renames Single_Precision_Complex_Types.i;

17.a.1/1
          Implementation defined: The types Fortran_Integer, Real,
          Double_Precision, and Character_Set in Interfaces.Fortran.

17.a
          Ramification: The means by which the Complex type is provided
          in Interfaces.Fortran creates a dependence of
          Interfaces.Fortran on Numerics.Generic_Complex_Types (see
          *note G.1.1::).  This dependence is intentional and
          unavoidable, if the Fortran-compatible Complex type is to be
          useful in Ada code without duplicating facilities defined
          elsewhere.

18
The types Fortran_Integer, Real, Double_Precision, Logical, Complex, and
Fortran_Character are Fortran-compatible.

19
The To_Fortran and To_Ada functions map between the Ada type Character
and the Fortran type Character_Set, and also between the Ada type String
and the Fortran type Fortran_Character.  The To_Fortran and To_Ada
procedures have analogous effects to the string conversion subprograms
found in Interfaces.COBOL.

                     _Implementation Requirements_

20/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} An implementation shall support specifying
aspect Convention with a Fortran <convention>_identifier for a
Fortran-eligible type (see *note B.1::).

                     _Implementation Permissions_

21
An implementation may add additional declarations to the Fortran
interface packages.  For example, the Fortran interface package for an
implementation of Fortran 77 (ANSI X3.9-1978) that defines types like
Integer*<n>, Real*<n>, Logical*<n>, and Complex*<n> may contain the
declarations of types named Integer_Star_<n>, Real_Star_<n>,
Logical_Star_<n>, and Complex_Star_<n>.  (This convention should not
apply to Character*<n>, for which the Ada analog is the constrained
array subtype Fortran_Character (1..<n>).)  Similarly, the Fortran
interface package for an implementation of Fortran 90 that provides
multiple <kinds> of intrinsic types, e.g.  Integer (Kind=<n>), Real
(Kind=<n>), Logical (Kind=<n>), Complex (Kind=<n>), and Character
(Kind=<n>), may contain the declarations of types with the recommended
names Integer_Kind_<n>, Real_Kind_<n>, Logical_Kind_<n>,
Complex_Kind_<n>, and Character_Kind_<n>.

21.a
          Discussion: Implementations may add auxiliary declarations as
          needed to assist in the declarations of additional
          Fortran-compatible types.  For example, if a double precision
          complex type is defined, then Numerics.Generic_Complex_Types
          may be instantiated for the double precision type.  Similarly,
          if a wide character type is defined to match a Fortran 90 wide
          character type (accessible in Fortran 90 with the Kind
          modifier), then an auxiliary character set may be declared to
          serve as its component type.

                        _Implementation Advice_

22
An Ada implementation should support the following interface
correspondences between Ada and Fortran:

23
   * An Ada procedure corresponds to a Fortran subroutine.

24
   * An Ada function corresponds to a Fortran function.

25
   * An Ada parameter of an elementary, array, or record type T is
     passed as a TF argument to a Fortran procedure, where TF is the
     Fortran type corresponding to the Ada type T, and where the INTENT
     attribute of the corresponding dummy argument matches the Ada
     formal parameter mode; the Fortran implementation's parameter
     passing conventions are used.  For elementary types, a local copy
     is used if necessary to ensure by-copy semantics.

26
   * An Ada parameter of an access-to-subprogram type is passed as a
     reference to a Fortran procedure whose interface corresponds to the
     designated subprogram's specification.

26.a/2
          Implementation Advice: If Fortran interfacing is supported,
          the interface correspondences between Ada and Fortran should
          be supported.

     NOTES

27
     14  An object of a Fortran-compatible record type, declared in a
     library package or subprogram, can correspond to a Fortran common
     block; the type also corresponds to a Fortran "derived type".

Annex C Systems Programming
***************************

[ The Systems Programming Annex specifies additional capabilities
provided for low-level programming.  These capabilities are also
required in many real-time, embedded, distributed, and information
systems.]

C.1 Access to Machine Operations
================================

1/3
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} [This subclause specifies rules regarding
access to machine instructions from within an Ada program.]

1.a/2
          Implementation defined: Implementation-defined intrinsic
          subprograms.

                     _Implementation Requirements_

2
The implementation shall support machine code insertions (see *note
13.8::) or intrinsic subprograms (see *note 6.3.1::) (or both).
Implementation-defined attributes shall be provided to allow the use of
Ada entities as operands.

                        _Implementation Advice_

3
The machine code or intrinsics support should allow access to all
operations normally available to assembly language programmers for the
target environment, including privileged instructions, if any.

3.a.1/2
          Implementation Advice: The machine code or intrinsics support
          should allow access to all operations normally available to
          assembly language programmers for the target environment.

3.a
          Ramification: Of course, on a machine with protection, an
          attempt to execute a privileged instruction in user mode will
          probably trap.  Nonetheless, we want implementations to
          provide access to them so that Ada can be used to write
          systems programs that run in privileged mode.

4/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} The support for interfacing aspects (see
*note Annex B::) should include interface to assembler; the default
assembler should be associated with the convention identifier Assembler.

4.a/2
          Implementation Advice: Interface to assembler should be
          supported; the default assembler should be associated with the
          convention identifier Assembler.

5
If an entity is exported to assembly language, then the implementation
should allocate it at an addressable location, and should ensure that it
is retained by the linking process, even if not otherwise referenced
from the Ada code.  The implementation should assume that any call to a
machine code or assembler subprogram is allowed to read or update every
object that is specified as exported.

5.a/2
          Implementation Advice: If an entity is exported to assembly
          language, then the implementation should allocate it at an
          addressable location even if not otherwise referenced from the
          Ada code.  A call to a machine code or assembler subprogram
          should be treated as if it could read or update every object
          that is specified as exported.

                     _Documentation Requirements_

6
The implementation shall document the overhead associated with calling
machine-code or intrinsic subprograms, as compared to a fully-inlined
call, and to a regular out-of-line call.

6.a/2
          Documentation Requirement: The overhead of calling
          machine-code or intrinsic subprograms.

7
The implementation shall document the types of the package
System.Machine_Code usable for machine code insertions, and the
attributes to be used in machine code insertions for references to Ada
entities.

7.a/2
          Documentation Requirement: The types and attributes used in
          machine code insertions.

8/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} The implementation shall document the
subprogram calling conventions associated with the convention
identifiers available for use with the Convention aspect (Ada and
Assembler, at a minimum), including register saving, exception
propagation, parameter passing, and function value returning.

8.a/2
          Documentation Requirement: The subprogram calling conventions
          for all supported convention identifiers.

9
For exported and imported subprograms, the implementation shall document
the mapping between the Link_Name string, if specified, or the Ada
designator, if not, and the external link name used for such a
subprogram.

9.a/2
          <This paragraph was deleted.>

9.b/2
          Documentation Requirement: The mapping between the Link_Name
          or Ada designator and the external link name.

                        _Implementation Advice_

10
The implementation should ensure that little or no overhead is
associated with calling intrinsic and machine-code subprograms.

10.a/2
          Implementation Advice: Little or no overhead should be
          associated with calling intrinsic and machine-code
          subprograms.

11
It is recommended that intrinsic subprograms be provided for convenient
access to any machine operations that provide special capabilities or
efficiency and that are not otherwise available through the language
constructs.  Examples of such instructions include:

12
   * Atomic read-modify-write operations -- e.g., test and set, compare
     and swap, decrement and test, enqueue/dequeue.

13
   * Standard numeric functions -- e.g., <sin>, <log>.

14
   * String manipulation operations -- e.g., translate and test.

15
   * Vector operations -- e.g., compare vector against thresholds.

16
   * Direct operations on I/O ports.

16.a/2
          Implementation Advice: Intrinsic subprograms should be
          provided to access any machine operations that provide special
          capabilities or efficiency not normally available.

C.2 Required Representation Support
===================================

1/3

and related features.

{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} The implementation shall support at least the
functionality defined by the recommended levels of support in Clause
*note 13::.


File: aarm2012.info,  Node: C.3,  Next: C.4,  Prev: C.2,  Up: Annex C

C.3 Interrupt Support
=====================

1/3
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} [This subclause specifies the
language-defined model for hardware interrupts in addition to mechanisms
for handling interrupts.]  

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

2
[An <interrupt> represents a class of events that are detected by the
hardware or the system software.]  Interrupts are said to occur.  An
<occurrence> of an interrupt is separable into generation and delivery.<Generation> of an interrupt is the event in the underlying hardware or
system that makes the interrupt available to the program.  <Delivery> is
the action that invokes part of the program as response to the interrupt
occurrence.  Between generation and delivery, the interrupt occurrence
[(or interrupt)] is <pending>.  Some or all interrupts may be <blocked>.
When an interrupt is blocked, all occurrences of that interrupt are
prevented from being delivered.  Certain interrupts are <reserved>.  The
set of reserved interrupts is implementation defined.  A reserved
interrupt is either an interrupt for which user-defined handlers are not
supported, or one which already has an attached handler by some other
implementation-defined means.  Program units can be connected to
nonreserved interrupts.  While connected, the program unit is said to be
<attached> to that interrupt.  The execution of that program unit, the
<interrupt handler>, is invoked upon delivery of the interrupt
occurrence.

2.a/2
          <This paragraph was deleted.>

2.b
          To be honest: As an obsolescent feature, interrupts may be
          attached to task entries by an address clause.  See *note
          J.7.1::.

3
While a handler is attached to an interrupt, it is called once for each
delivered occurrence of that interrupt.  While the handler executes, the
corresponding interrupt is blocked.

4
While an interrupt is blocked, all occurrences of that interrupt are
prevented from being delivered.  Whether such occurrences remain pending
or are lost is implementation defined.

5
Each interrupt has a <default treatment> which determines the system's
response to an occurrence of that interrupt when no user-defined handler
is attached.  The set of possible default treatments is implementation
defined, as is the method (if one exists) for configuring the default
treatments for interrupts.

6
An interrupt is delivered to the handler (or default treatment) that is
in effect for that interrupt at the time of delivery.

7
An exception propagated from a handler that is invoked by an interrupt
has no effect.

8
[If the Ceiling_Locking policy (see *note D.3::) is in effect, the
interrupt handler executes with the active priority that is the ceiling
priority of the corresponding protected object.]

                     _Implementation Requirements_

9
The implementation shall provide a mechanism to determine the minimum
stack space that is needed for each interrupt handler and to reserve
that space for the execution of the handler.  [This space should
accommodate nested invocations of the handler where the system permits
this.]

10
If the hardware or the underlying system holds pending interrupt
occurrences, the implementation shall provide for later delivery of
these occurrences to the program.

11
If the Ceiling_Locking policy is not in effect, the implementation shall
provide means for the application to specify whether interrupts are to
be blocked during protected actions.

                     _Documentation Requirements_

12
The implementation shall document the following items:

12.a
          Discussion: This information may be different for different
          forms of interrupt handlers.

13
     1.  For each interrupt, which interrupts are blocked from delivery
     when a handler attached to that interrupt executes (either as a
     result of an interrupt delivery or of an ordinary call on a
     procedure of the corresponding protected object).

14
     2.  Any interrupts that cannot be blocked, and the effect of
     attaching handlers to such interrupts, if this is permitted.

15
     3.  Which run-time stack an interrupt handler uses when it executes
     as a result of an interrupt delivery; if this is configurable, what
     is the mechanism to do so; how to specify how much space to reserve
     on that stack.

16
     4.  Any implementation- or hardware-specific activity that happens
     before a user-defined interrupt handler gets control (e.g., reading
     device registers, acknowledging devices).

17
     5.  Any timing or other limitations imposed on the execution of
     interrupt handlers.

18
     6.  The state (blocked/unblocked) of the nonreserved interrupts
     when the program starts; if some interrupts are unblocked, what is
     the mechanism a program can use to protect itself before it can
     attach the corresponding handlers.

19
     7.  Whether the interrupted task is allowed to resume execution
     before the interrupt handler returns.

20
     8.  The treatment of interrupt occurrences that are generated while
     the interrupt is blocked; i.e., whether one or more occurrences are
     held for later delivery, or all are lost.

21
     9.  Whether predefined or implementation-defined exceptions are
     raised as a result of the occurrence of any interrupt, and the
     mapping between the machine interrupts (or traps) and the
     predefined exceptions.

22
     10.  On a multi-processor, the rules governing the delivery of an
     interrupt to a particular processor.

22.a/2
          Documentation Requirement: The treatment of interrupts.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

23/2
{<AI95-00434-01AI95-00434-01>} If the underlying system or hardware does
not allow interrupts to be blocked, then no blocking is required [as
part of the execution of subprograms of a protected object for which one
of its subprograms is an interrupt handler].

24
In a multi-processor with more than one interrupt subsystem, it is
implementation defined whether (and how) interrupt sources from separate
subsystems share the same Interrupt_Id type (see *note C.3.2::).  In
particular, the meaning of a blocked or pending interrupt may then be
applicable to one processor only.

24.a
          Discussion: This issue is tightly related to the issue of
          scheduling on a multi-processor.  In a sense, if a particular
          interrupt source is not available to all processors, the
          system is not truly homogeneous.

24.b
          One way to approach this problem is to assign sub-ranges
          within Interrupt_Id to each interrupt subsystem, such that
          "similar" interrupt sources (e.g.  a timer) in different
          subsystems get a distinct id.

25
Implementations are allowed to impose timing or other limitations on the
execution of interrupt handlers.

25.a
          Reason: These limitations are often necessary to ensure proper
          behavior of the implementation.

26/3
{<AI95-00434-01AI95-00434-01>} {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} Other forms of
handlers are allowed to be supported, in which case the rules of this
subclause should be adhered to.

27
The active priority of the execution of an interrupt handler is allowed
to vary from one occurrence of the same interrupt to another.

                        _Implementation Advice_

28/2
{<AI95-00434-01AI95-00434-01>} If the Ceiling_Locking policy is not in
effect, the implementation should provide means for the application to
specify which interrupts are to be blocked during protected actions, if
the underlying system allows for finer-grained control of interrupt
blocking.

28.a/2
          Implementation Advice: If the Ceiling_Locking policy is not in
          effect and the target system allows for finer-grained control
          of interrupt blocking, a means for the application to specify
          which interrupts are to be blocked during protected actions
          should be provided.

     NOTES

29
     1  The default treatment for an interrupt can be to keep the
     interrupt pending or to deliver it to an implementation-defined
     handler.  Examples of actions that an implementation-defined
     handler is allowed to perform include aborting the partition,
     ignoring (i.e., discarding occurrences of) the interrupt, or
     queuing one or more occurrences of the interrupt for possible later
     delivery when a user-defined handler is attached to that interrupt.

30
     2  It is a bounded error to call Task_Identification.Current_Task
     (see *note C.7.1::) from an interrupt handler.

31
     3  The rule that an exception propagated from an interrupt handler
     has no effect is modeled after the rule about exceptions propagated
     out of task bodies.

<Paragraphs 1 through 6 were moved to *note Annex J::, "*note Annex J::
Obsolescent Features".>

                          _Static Semantics_

6.1/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} For a parameterless protected procedure, the
following language-defined representation aspects may be specified:

6.2/3
Interrupt_Handler
               The type of aspect Interrupt_Handler is Boolean.  If
               directly specified, the aspect_definition shall be a
               static expression.  [This aspect is never inherited;] if
               not directly specified, the aspect is False.

6.a/3
          Aspect Description for Interrupt_Handler: Protected procedure
          may be attached to interrupts.

6.3/3
Attach_Handler
               The aspect Attach_Handler is an expression, which shall
               be of type Interrupts.Interrupt_Id.  [This aspect is
               never inherited.]

6.b/3
          Aspect Description for Attach_Handler: Protected procedure is
          attached to an interrupt.

                           _Legality Rules_

7/3
{<AI95-00434-01AI95-00434-01>} {<AI05-0033-1AI05-0033-1>}
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} If either the Attach_Handler or
Interrupt_Handler aspect are specified for a protected procedure, the
corresponding protected_type_declaration (*note 9.4: S0210.) or
single_protected_declaration (*note 9.4: S0211.) shall be a
library-level declaration and shall not be declared within a generic
body.  In addition to the places where Legality Rules normally apply
(see *note 12.3::), this rule also applies in the private part of an
instance of a generic unit.

7.a
          Discussion: In the case of a protected_type_declaration, an
          object_declaration of an object of that type need not be at
          library level.

7.b/3
          {<AI05-0033-1AI05-0033-1>} {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} We
          cannot allow these aspects in protected declarations in a
          generic body, because legality rules are not checked for
          instance bodies, and these should not be allowed if the
          instance is not at the library level.  The protected types can
          be declared in the private part if this is desired.  Note that
          while the 'Access to use the handler would provide the check
          in the case of Interrupt_Handler, there is no other check for
          Attach_Handler.  Since these aspects are so similar, we want
          the rules to be the same.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

9/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} If the Interrupt_Handler aspect of a
protected procedure is True, then the procedure may be attached
dynamically, as a handler, to interrupts (see *note C.3.2::).  [Such
procedures are allowed to be attached to multiple interrupts.]

10/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} The expression specified for the
Attach_Handler aspect of a protected procedure <P> is evaluated as part
of the creation of the protected object that contains <P>.  The value of
the expression identifies an interrupt.  As part of the initialization
of that object, <P> (the <handler> procedure) is attached to the
identified interrupt.  A check is made that the corresponding interrupt
is not reserved.  Program_Error is raised if the check fails, and the
existing treatment for the interrupt is not affected.

11/3
{<AI95-00434-01AI95-00434-01>} {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} If the
Ceiling_Locking policy (see *note D.3::) is in effect, then upon the
initialization of a protected object that contains a protected procedure
for which either the Attach_Handler aspect is specified or the
Interrupt_Handler aspect is True, a check is made that the initial
ceiling priority of the object is in the range of
System.Interrupt_Priority.  If the check fails, Program_Error is raised.

12/3
{<8652/00688652/0068>} {<AI95-00121-01AI95-00121-01>}
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} When a protected object is finalized, for any
of its procedures that are attached to interrupts, the handler is
detached.  If the handler was attached by a procedure in the Interrupts
package or if no user handler was previously attached to the interrupt,
the default treatment is restored.  If the Attach_Handler aspect was
specified and the most recently attached handler for the same interrupt
is the same as the one that was attached at the time the protected
object was initialized, the previous handler is restored.

12.a/3
          Discussion: {<8652/00688652/0068>}
          {<AI95-00121-01AI95-00121-01>} {<AI95-00303-01AI95-00303-01>}
          {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} If all protected objects for
          interrupt handlers are declared at the library level, the
          finalization discussed above occurs only as part of the
          finalization of all library-level packages in a partition.
          However, objects of a protected type containing procedures
          with an Attach_Handler aspect specified need not be at the
          library level.  Thus, an implementation needs to be able to
          restore handlers during the execution of the program.  (An
          object with an Interrupt_Handler aspect also need not be at
          the library level, but such a handler cannot be attached to an
          interrupt using the Interrupts package.)

13
When a handler is attached to an interrupt, the interrupt is blocked
[(subject to the Implementation Permission in *note C.3::)] during the
execution of every protected action on the protected object containing
the handler.

                         _Erroneous Execution_

14
If the Ceiling_Locking policy (see *note D.3::) is in effect and an
interrupt is delivered to a handler, and the interrupt hardware priority
is higher than the ceiling priority of the corresponding protected
object, the execution of the program is erroneous.

14.1/3
{<8652/00688652/0068>} {<AI95-00121-01AI95-00121-01>}
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} If the handlers for a given interrupt
attached via aspect Attach_Handler are not attached and detached in a
stack-like (LIFO) order, program execution is erroneous.  In particular,
when a protected object is finalized, the execution is erroneous if any
of the procedures of the protected object are attached to interrupts via
aspect Attach_Handler and the most recently attached handler for the
same interrupt is not the same as the one that was attached at the time
the protected object was initialized.

14.a/3
          Discussion: {<8652/00688652/0068>}
          {<AI95-00121-01AI95-00121-01>} {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} This
          simplifies implementation of the Attach_Handler aspect by not
          requiring a check that the current handler is the same as the
          one attached by the initialization of a protected object.

                               _Metrics_

15
The following metric shall be documented by the implementation:

16/2
   * {<AI95-00434-01AI95-00434-01>} The worst-case overhead for an
     interrupt handler that is a parameterless protected procedure, in
     clock cycles.  This is the execution time not directly attributable
     to the handler procedure or the interrupted execution.  It is
     estimated as C - (A+B), where A is how long it takes to complete a
     given sequence of instructions without any interrupt, B is how long
     it takes to complete a normal call to a given protected procedure,
     and C is how long it takes to complete the same sequence of
     instructions when it is interrupted by one execution of the same
     procedure called via an interrupt.

16.a
          Implementation Note: The instruction sequence and interrupt
          handler used to measure interrupt handling overhead should be
          chosen so as to maximize the execution time cost due to cache
          misses.  For example, if the processor has cache memory and
          the activity of an interrupt handler could invalidate the
          contents of cache memory, the handler should be written such
          that it invalidates all of the cache memory.

16.b/2
          Documentation Requirement: The metrics for interrupt handlers.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

17/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} When the aspects Attach_Handler or
Interrupt_Handler are specified for a protected procedure, the
implementation is allowed to impose implementation-defined restrictions
on the corresponding protected_type_declaration (*note 9.4: S0210.) and
protected_body (*note 9.4: S0215.).

17.a
          Ramification: The restrictions may be on the constructs that
          are allowed within them, and on ordinary calls (i.e.  not via
          interrupts) on protected operations in these protected
          objects.

17.b/3
          Implementation defined: Any restrictions on a protected
          procedure or its containing type when an aspect Attach_handler
          or Interrupt_Handler is specified.

18
An implementation may use a different mechanism for invoking a protected
procedure in response to a hardware interrupt than is used for a call to
that protected procedure from a task.

18.a
          Discussion: This is despite the fact that the priority of an
          interrupt handler (see *note D.1::) is modeled after a
          hardware task calling the handler.

19/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} Notwithstanding what this subclause says
elsewhere, the Attach_Handler and Interrupt_Handler aspects are allowed
to be used for other, implementation defined, forms of interrupt
handlers.

19.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} For example, if an
          implementation wishes to allow interrupt handlers to have
          parameters, it is allowed to do so via these aspects; it need
          not invent implementation-defined aspects for the purpose.

19.b/3
          Implementation defined: Any other forms of interrupt handler
          supported by the Attach_Handler and Interrupt_Handler aspects.

                        _Implementation Advice_

20
Whenever possible, the implementation should allow interrupt handlers to
be called directly by the hardware.

20.a/2
          Implementation Advice: Interrupt handlers should be called
          directly by the hardware.

21
Whenever practical, the implementation should detect violations of any
implementation-defined restrictions before run time.

21.a/2
          Implementation Advice: Violations of any
          implementation-defined restrictions on interrupt handlers
          should be detected before run time.

     NOTES

22/3
     4  {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} The Attach_Handler aspect may provide
     static attachment of handlers to interrupts if the implementation
     supports preelaboration of protected objects.  (See *note C.4::.)

23/2
     5  {<AI95-00434-01AI95-00434-01>} A protected object that has a
     (protected) procedure attached to an interrupt should have a
     ceiling priority at least as high as the highest processor priority
     at which that interrupt will ever be delivered.

24
     6  Protected procedures can also be attached dynamically to
     interrupts via operations declared in the predefined package
     Interrupts.

25
     7  An example of a possible implementation-defined restriction is
     disallowing the use of the standard storage pools within the body
     of a protected procedure that is an interrupt handler.

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 95_

25.a/2
          {<AI95-00253-01AI95-00253-01>} Amendment Correction: Corrected
          the wording so that the rules for the use of Attach_Handler
          and Interrupt_Handler are identical.  This means that uses of
          pragma Interrupt_Handler outside of the target protected type
          or single protected object are now illegal.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

25.b/2
          {<8652/00688652/0068>} {<AI95-00121-01AI95-00121-01>}
          Corrigendum: Clarified the meaning of "the previous handler"
          when finalizing protected objects containing interrupt
          handlers.

25.c/2
          {<AI95-00303-01AI95-00303-01>} Dropped the requirement that an
          object of a type containing an Interrupt_Handler pragma must
          be declared at the library level.  This was a generic contract
          model violation.  This change is not an extension, as an
          attempt to attach such a handler with a routine in package
          Interrupts will fail an accessibility check anyway.  Moreover,
          implementations can retain the rule as an
          implementation-defined restriction on the use of the type, as
          permitted by the Implementation Permissions above.

                       _Extensions to Ada 2005_

25.d/3
          {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} Aspects Interrupt_Handler and
          Attach_Handler are new; pragmas Interrupt_Handler and
          Attach_Handler are now obsolescent.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

25.e/3
          {<AI05-0033-1AI05-0033-1>} Correction: Added missing generic
          contract wording for the aspects Attach_Handler and
          Interrupt_Handler.

C.3.2 The Package Interrupts
----------------------------

                          _Static Semantics_

1
The following language-defined packages exist:

2/3
     {<AI05-0167-1AI05-0167-1>} with System;
     with System.Multiprocessors;
     package Ada.Interrupts is
        type Interrupt_Id is <implementation-defined>;
        type Parameterless_Handler is
           access protected procedure;

3/1
     <This paragraph was deleted.>

4
        function Is_Reserved (Interrupt : Interrupt_Id)
           return Boolean;

5
        function Is_Attached (Interrupt : Interrupt_Id)
           return Boolean;

6
        function Current_Handler (Interrupt : Interrupt_Id)
           return Parameterless_Handler;

7
        procedure Attach_Handler
           (New_Handler : in Parameterless_Handler;
            Interrupt   : in Interrupt_Id);

8
        procedure Exchange_Handler
           (Old_Handler : out Parameterless_Handler;
            New_Handler : in Parameterless_Handler;
            Interrupt   : in Interrupt_Id);

9
        procedure Detach_Handler
           (Interrupt : in Interrupt_Id);

10
        function Reference (Interrupt : Interrupt_Id)
           return System.Address;

10.1/3
     {<AI05-0167-1AI05-0167-1>}    function Get_CPU (Interrupt : Interrupt_Id)
           return System.Multiprocessors.CPU_Range;

11
     private
        ... -- <not specified by the language>
     end Ada.Interrupts;

12
     package Ada.Interrupts.Names is
        <implementation-defined> : constant Interrupt_Id :=
          <implementation-defined>;
           . . .
        <implementation-defined> : constant Interrupt_Id :=
          <implementation-defined>;
     end Ada.Interrupts.Names;

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

13
The Interrupt_Id type is an implementation-defined discrete type used to
identify interrupts.

14
The Is_Reserved function returns True if and only if the specified
interrupt is reserved.

15
The Is_Attached function returns True if and only if a user-specified
interrupt handler is attached to the interrupt.

16/1
{<8652/00698652/0069>} {<AI95-00166-01AI95-00166-01>} The
Current_Handler function returns a value that represents the attached
handler of the interrupt.  If no user-defined handler is attached to the
interrupt, Current_Handler returns null.

17/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} The Attach_Handler procedure attaches the
specified handler to the interrupt, overriding any existing treatment
(including a user handler) in effect for that interrupt.  If New_Handler
is null, the default treatment is restored.  If New_Handler designates a
protected procedure for which the aspect Interrupt_Handler is False,
Program_Error is raised.  In this case, the operation does not modify
the existing interrupt treatment.

18/1
{<8652/00698652/0069>} {<AI95-00166-01AI95-00166-01>} The
Exchange_Handler procedure operates in the same manner as Attach_Handler
with the addition that the value returned in Old_Handler designates the
previous treatment for the specified interrupt.  If the previous
treatment is not a user-defined handler, null is returned.

18.a
          Ramification: Calling Attach_Handler or Exchange_Handler with
          this value for New_Handler restores the previous handler.

18.a.1/1
          {<8652/00698652/0069>} {<AI95-00166-01AI95-00166-01>} If the
          application uses only parameterless procedures as handlers
          (other types of handlers may be provided by the
          implementation, but are not required by the standard), then if
          Old_Handler is not null, it may be called to execute the
          previous handler.  This provides a way to cascade application
          interrupt handlers.  However, the default handler cannot be
          cascaded this way (Old_Handler must be null for the default
          handler).

19
The Detach_Handler procedure restores the default treatment for the
specified interrupt.

20
For all operations defined in this package that take a parameter of type
Interrupt_Id, with the exception of Is_Reserved and Reference, a check
is made that the specified interrupt is not reserved.  Program_Error is
raised if this check fails.

21/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} If, by using the Attach_Handler,
Detach_Handler, or Exchange_Handler procedures, an attempt is made to
detach a handler that was attached statically (using the aspect
Attach_Handler), the handler is not detached and Program_Error is
raised.  

22/2
{<AI95-00434-01AI95-00434-01>} The Reference function returns a value of
type System.Address that can be used to attach a task entry via an
address clause (see *note J.7.1::) to the interrupt specified by
Interrupt.  This function raises Program_Error if attaching task entries
to interrupts (or to this particular interrupt) is not supported.  

22.1/3
{<AI05-0153-3AI05-0153-3>} The function Get_CPU returns the processor on
which the handler for Interrupt is executed.  If the handler can execute
on more than one processor the value
System.Multiprocessors.Not_A_Specific_CPU is returned.

                     _Implementation Requirements_

23
At no time during attachment or exchange of handlers shall the current
handler of the corresponding interrupt be undefined.

                     _Documentation Requirements_

24/3
{<AI95-00434-01AI95-00434-01>} {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} If the
Ceiling_Locking policy (see *note D.3::) is in effect, the
implementation shall document the default ceiling priority assigned to a
protected object that contains a protected procedure that specifies
either the Attach_Handler or Interrupt_Handler aspects, but does not
specify the Interrupt_Priority aspect.  [This default need not be the
same for all interrupts.]

24.a.1/3
          Documentation Requirement: If the Ceiling_Locking policy is in
          effect, the default ceiling priority for a protected object
          that specifies an interrupt handler aspect.

                        _Implementation Advice_

25
If implementation-defined forms of interrupt handler procedures are
supported, such as protected procedures with parameters, then for each
such form of a handler, a type analogous to Parameterless_Handler should
be specified in a child package of Interrupts, with the same operations
as in the predefined package Interrupts.

25.a/2
          Implementation Advice: If implementation-defined forms of
          interrupt handler procedures are supported, then for each such
          form of a handler, a type analogous to Parameterless_Handler
          should be specified in a child package of Interrupts, with the
          same operations as in the predefined package Interrupts.

     NOTES

26
     8  The package Interrupts.Names contains implementation-defined
     names (and constant values) for the interrupts that are supported
     by the implementation.

                              _Examples_

          Corrigendum: Clarified that the value returned by
          Current_Handler and Exchange_Handler for the default treatment
          is null.

                   _Incompatibilities With Ada 2005_

28.b/3
          {<AI05-0167-1AI05-0167-1>} Function Get_CPU is added to
          Interrupts.  If Interrupts is referenced in a use_clause, and
          an entity <E> with a defining_identifier of Get_CPU is defined
          in a package that is also referenced in a use_clause, the
          entity <E> may no longer be use-visible, resulting in errors.
          This should be rare and is easily fixed if it does occur.

C.4 Preelaboration Requirements
===============================

1/3
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} [This subclause specifies additional
implementation and documentation requirements for the Preelaborate
pragma (see *note 10.2.1::).]

                     _Implementation Requirements_

2
The implementation shall not incur any run-time overhead for the
elaboration checks of subprograms and protected_bodies declared in
preelaborated library units.  

3
The implementation shall not execute any memory write operations after
load time for the elaboration of constant objects declared immediately
within the declarative region of a preelaborated library package, so
long as the subtype and initial expression (or default initial
expressions if initialized by default) of the object_declaration satisfy
the following restrictions.  The meaning of <load time> is
implementation defined.

3.a
          Discussion: On systems where the image of the partition is
          initially copied from disk to RAM, or from ROM to RAM, prior
          to starting execution of the partition, the intention is that
          "load time" consist of this initial copying step.  On other
          systems, load time and run time might actually be
          interspersed.

4
   * Any subtype_mark denotes a statically constrained subtype, with
     statically constrained subcomponents, if any;

4.1/2
   * {<AI95-00161-01AI95-00161-01>} no subtype_mark denotes a controlled
     type, a private type, a private extension, a generic formal private
     type, a generic formal derived type, or a descendant of such a
     type;

4.a.1/2
          Reason: For an implementation that uses the registration
          method of finalization, a controlled object will require some
          code executed to register the object at the appropriate point.
          The other types are those that <might> have a controlled
          component.  None of these types were allowed in preelaborated
          units in Ada 95.  These types are covered by the
          Implementation Advice, of course, so they should still execute
          as little code as possible.

5
   * any constraint is a static constraint;

6
   * any allocator is for an access-to-constant type;

7
   * any uses of predefined operators appear only within static
     expressions;

8
   * any primaries that are names, other than attribute_references for
     the Access or Address attributes, appear only within static
     expressions;

8.a
          Ramification: This cuts out attribute_references that are not
          static, except for Access and Address.

9
   * any name that is not part of a static expression is an expanded
     name or direct_name that statically denotes some entity;

9.a
          Ramification: This cuts out function_calls and
          type_conversions that are not static, including calls on

          Reason: {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} The intent is that
          aggregates all of whose scalar subcomponents are static and
          all of whose access subcomponents are null, allocators for
          access-to-constant types, or X'Access, will be supported with
          no run-time code generated.

It is recommended that preelaborated packages be implemented in such a
way that there should be little or no code executed at run time for the
elaboration of entities not already covered by the Implementation
Requirements.

C.5 Aspect Discard_Names
========================

1/4
{<AI12-0072-1AI12-0072-1>} [Specifying the aspect Discard_Names can be
used to request a reduction in storage used for the names of entities
with runtime name text.]

                          _Static Semantics_

1.1/4
{<AI12-0072-1AI12-0072-1>} An entity with <runtime name text> is a
nonderived enumeration first subtype, a tagged first subtype, or an
exception.

1.2/4
{<AI12-0072-1AI12-0072-1>} For an entity with runtime name text, the
following language-defined representation aspect may be specified:

1.3/4
Discard_Names
               The type of aspect Discard_Names is Boolean.  If directly
               specified, the aspect_definition shall be a static
               expression.  If not specified (including by inheritance),
               the aspect is False.

1.a.1/4
          Aspect Description for Discard_Names: Requests a reduction in
          storage for names associated with an entity.

                               _Syntax_

2
     The form of a pragma Discard_Names is as follows:

3
       pragma Discard_Names[([On => ] local_name)];

4
     A pragma Discard_Names is allowed only immediately within a
     declarative_part, immediately within a package_specification, or as
     a configuration pragma.  

                           _Legality Rules_

5/4
{<AI12-0072-1AI12-0072-1>} The local_name (if present) shall denote an
entity with runtime name text.  The pragma specifies that the aspect
Discard_Names for the type or exception has the value True.  Without a
local_name, the pragma specifies that all entities with runtime name
text declared after the pragma, within the same declarative region have
the value True for aspect Discard_Names.  Alternatively, the pragma can
be used as a configuration pragma.  If the configuration pragma
Discard_Names applies to a compilation unit, all entities with runtime
name text declared in the compilation unit have the value True for the
aspect Discard_Names..

5.a/4
          Ramification: {<AI12-0072-1AI12-0072-1>} If the aspect is
          specified for a type, then it is inherited by all descendants
          of the type.  The aspect cannot be specified as False on a
          derived type (because specifying the aspect is not allowed on
          derived enumeration types, and by rule applying to all aspects
          for other types (see *note 13.1.1::)).

                          _Static Semantics_

6
If a local_name is given, then a pragma Discard_Names is a
representation pragma.

{<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} {<AI95-00400-01AI95-00400-01>}
{<AI12-0072-1AI12-0072-1>} If the aspect Discard_Names is True for an
enumeration type, then the semantics of the Wide_Wide_Image and
Wide_Wide_Value attributes are implementation defined for that type[;
the semantics of Image, Wide_Image, Value, and Wide_Value are still
defined in terms of Wide_Wide_Image and Wide_Wide_Value].  In addition,
the semantics of Text_IO.Enumeration_IO are implementation defined.  If
the aspect Discard_Names is True for a tagged type, then the semantics
of the Tags.Wide_Wide_Expanded_Name function are implementation defined
for that type[; the semantics of Tags.Expanded_Name and
Tags.Wide_Expanded_Name are still defined in terms of
Tags.Wide_Wide_Expanded_Name].  If the aspect Discard_Names is True for
an exception, then the semantics of the
Exceptions.Wide_Wide_Exception_Name function are implementation defined
for that exception[; the semantics of Exceptions.Exception_Name and
Exceptions.Wide_Exception_Name are still defined in terms of
Exceptions.Wide_Wide_Exception_Name].

7.a/4
          Implementation defined: The semantics of some attributes and
          functions of an entity for which aspect Discard_Names is True.

7.b
          Ramification: The Width attribute is still defined in terms of
          Image.

7.c/4
          {<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} {<AI12-0072-1AI12-0072-1>} The
          semantics of S'Wide_Wide_Image and S'Wide_Wide_Value are
          implementation defined for any subtype of an enumeration type
          for which the aspect is True.  (The pragma, if used, actually
          names the first subtype, of course.)

                        _Implementation Advice_

8/4
{<AI12-0072-1AI12-0072-1>} If the aspect Discard_Names is True for an
entity, then the implementation should reduce the amount of storage used
for storing names associated with that entity.

8.a/4
          Implementation Advice: If aspect Discard_Names is True for an
          entity, then the amount of storage used for storing names
          associated with that entity should be reduced.

8.b
          Reason: A typical implementation of the Image attribute for
          enumeration types is to store a table containing the names of
          all the enumeration literals.  Aspect Discard_Names allows the
          implementation to avoid storing such a table without having to
          prove that the Image attribute is never used (which can be
          difficult in the presence of separate compilation).

8.c
          We did not specify the semantics of the Image attribute when
          aspect Discard_Names is True because different semantics might
          be desirable in different situations.  In some cases, it might
          make sense to use the Image attribute to print out a useful
          value that can be used to identify the entity given
          information in compiler-generated listings.  In other cases,
          it might make sense to get an error at compile time or at run
          time.  In cases where memory is plentiful, the simplest
          implementation makes sense: ignore the aspect.
          Implementations that are capable of avoiding the extra storage
          in cases where the Image attribute is never used might also
          wish to ignore the aspect.

8.d
          The same applies to the Tags.Expanded_Name and
          Exceptions.Exception_Name functions.

          Updated the wording to reflect that the double wide image and
          value functions are now the master versions that the others
          are defined from.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2012_

8.f/4
          {<AI12-0072-1AI12-0072-1>} Corrigendum: Defined the pragma in
          terms of the aspect Discard_Names, and added a missing
          definition of the meaning of the configuration pragma.  This
          is not intended to make any semantic change (Ada 2012 has an
          aspect Discard_Names defined via blanket rules for
          representation pragmas in *note 13.1:: and *note 13.1.1::),
          just to clarify the meaning.

C.6 Shared Variable Control
===========================

1/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} [This subclause
defines representation aspects that control the use of shared
variables.]

<Paragraphs 2 through 6 were moved to *note Annex J::, "*note Annex J::
Obsolescent Features".>

                          _Static Semantics_

6.1/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} For an object_declaration, a
component_declaration, or a full_type_declaration, the following
representation aspects may be specified:

6.2/3
Atomic
               The type of aspect Atomic is Boolean.

6.a/3
          Aspect Description for Atomic: Declare that a type, object, or
          component is atomic.

6.3/3
Independent
               The type of aspect Independent is Boolean.

6.b/3
          Aspect Description for Independent: Declare that a type,
          object, or component is independently addressable.

6.4/3
Volatile
               The type of aspect Volatile is Boolean.

6.c/3
          Aspect Description for Volatile: Declare that a type, object,
          or component is volatile.

6.5/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} For a full_type_declaration of an array type
(including the anonymous type of an object_declaration of an anonymous
array object), the following representation aspects may be specified:

6.6/3
Atomic_Components
               The type of aspect Atomic_Components is Boolean.

6.d/3
          Aspect Description for Atomic_Components: Declare that the
          components of an array type or object are atomic.

6.7/3
Volatile_Components
               The type of aspect Volatile_Components is Boolean.

6.e/3
          Aspect Description for Volatile_Components: Declare that the
          components of an array type or object are volatile.

6.8/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} For a full_type_declaration (including the
anonymous type of an object_declaration of an anonymous array object),
the following representation aspect may be specified:

6.9/3
Independent_Components
               The type of aspect Independent_Components is Boolean.

6.f/3
          Aspect Description for Independent_Components: Declare that
          the components of an array or record type, or an array object,
          are independently addressable.

6.10/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} If any of these aspects are directly
specified, the aspect_definition shall be a static expression.  If not
specified (including by inheritance), each of these aspects is False.

7/3
{<AI95-00272-01AI95-00272-01>} {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} An <atomic>
type is one for which the aspect Atomic is True.  An <atomic> object
(including a component) is one for which the aspect Atomic is True, or a
component of an array for which the aspect Atomic_Components is True for
the associated type, or any object of an atomic type, other than objects
obtained by evaluating a slice.

7.a/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00272-01AI95-00272-01>} A slice of an
          atomic array object is not itself atomic.  That's necessary as
          executing a read or write of a dynamic number of components in
          a single instruction is not possible on many targets.

8/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} A <volatile> type is one for which the aspect
Volatile is True.  A <volatile> object (including a component) is one
for which the aspect Volatile is True, or a component of an array for
which the aspect Volatile_Components is True for the associated type, or
any object of a volatile type.  In addition, every atomic type or object
is also defined to be volatile.  Finally, if an object is volatile, then
so are all of its subcomponents [(the same does not apply to atomic)].

8.1/4
{<AI05-0009-1AI05-0009-1>} {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>}
{<AI12-0001-1AI12-0001-1>} When True, the aspects Independent and
Independent_Components <specify as independently addressable> the named
object or component(s), or in the case of a type, all objects or
components of that type.  All atomic objects and aliased objects are
considered to be specified as independently addressable.

8.a/3
          Ramification: If the compiler cannot guarantee that an object
          (including a component) for which aspect Independent or aspect
          Independent_Components is True is independently addressable
          from any other nonoverlapping object, then the aspect
          specification must be rejected.

8.b/3
          Similarly, an atomic object (including atomic components) is
          always independently addressable from any other nonoverlapping
          object.  Any representation item which would prevent this from
          being true should be rejected, notwithstanding what this
          Standard says elsewhere (specifically, in the Recommended
          Level of Support).

<Paragraph 9 was moved to *note Annex J::, "*note Annex J:: Obsolescent
Features".>

                           _Legality Rules_

9.1/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} If aspect Independent_Components is specified
for a full_type_declaration, the declaration shall be that of an array
or record type.

10/4
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} {<AI12-0001-1AI12-0001-1>} It is illegal to
specify either of the aspects Atomic or Atomic_Components to have the
value True for an object or type if the implementation cannot support
the indivisible and independent reads and updates required by the aspect
(see below).

11/4
{<AI12-0001-1AI12-0001-1>} It is illegal to specify the Size attribute
of an atomic object, the Component_Size attribute for an array type with
atomic components, or the layout attributes of an atomic component, in a
way that prevents the implementation from performing the required
indivisible and independent reads and updates.

12/3
{<AI05-0142-4AI05-0142-4>} {<AI05-0218-1AI05-0218-1>} If an atomic
object is passed as a parameter, then the formal parameter shall either
have an atomic type or allow pass by copy.  If an atomic object is used
as an actual for a generic formal object of mode in out, then the type
of the generic formal object shall be atomic.  If the prefix of an
attribute_reference for an Access attribute denotes an atomic object
[(including a component)], then the designated type of the resulting
access type shall be atomic.  If an atomic type is used as an actual for
a generic formal derived type, then the ancestor of the formal type
shall be atomic.  Corresponding rules apply to volatile objects and
types.

12.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0142-4AI05-0142-4>} A formal parameter
          allows pass by copy if it is not aliased and it is of a type
          that allows pass by copy (that is, is not a by-reference
          type).

12.1/3
{<AI05-0218-1AI05-0218-1>} If a volatile type is used as an actual for a
generic formal array type, then the element type of the formal type
shall be volatile.

13/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} If an aspect Volatile, Volatile_Components,
Atomic, or Atomic_Components is directly specified to have the value
True for a stand-alone constant object, then the aspect Import shall
also be specified as True for it.

13.a
          Ramification: Hence, no initialization expression is allowed
          for such a constant.  Note that a constant that is atomic or
          volatile because of its type is allowed.

13.b
          Reason: Stand-alone constants that are explicitly specified as
          Atomic or Volatile only make sense if they are being
          manipulated outside the Ada program.  From the Ada perspective
          the object is read-only.  Nevertheless, if imported and atomic
          or volatile, the implementation should presume it might be
          altered externally.  For an imported stand-alone constant that
          is not atomic or volatile, the implementation can assume that
          it will not be altered.

13.c/3
          To be honest: {<AI05-0218-1AI05-0218-1>} Volatile_Components
          and Atomic_Components actually are aspects of the anonymous
          array type; this rule only applies when the aspect is
          specified directly on the constant object and not when the
          (named) array type has the aspect.

13.1/3
{<AI05-0009-1AI05-0009-1>} {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} It is illegal to
specify the aspect Independent or Independent_Components as True for a
component, object or type if the implementation cannot provide the
independent addressability required by the aspect (see *note 9.10::).

13.2/3
{<AI05-0009-1AI05-0009-1>} {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} It is illegal to
specify a representation aspect for a component, object or type for
which the aspect Independent or Independent_Components is True, in a way
that prevents the implementation from providing the independent
addressability required by the aspect.

<Paragraph 14 was moved to *note Annex J::, "*note Annex J:: Obsolescent
Features".>

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

15
For an atomic object (including an atomic component) all reads and
updates of the object as a whole are indivisible.

16/3
{<AI05-0117-1AI05-0117-1>} {<AI05-0275-1AI05-0275-1>} All tasks of the
program (on all processors) that read or update volatile variables see
the same order of updates to the variables.  A use of an atomic variable
or other mechanism may be necessary to avoid erroneous execution and to
ensure that access to nonatomic volatile variables is sequential (see
*note 9.10::).

16.a/3
          Implementation Note: {<AI05-0117-1AI05-0117-1>}
          {<AI05-0275-1AI05-0275-1>} To ensure this, on a
          multiprocessor, any read or update of an atomic object may
          require the use of an appropriate memory barrier.

16.b/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0275-1AI05-0275-1>} From *note 9.10:: it
          follows that (in non-erroneous programs) accesses to
          variables, including those shared by multiple tasks, are
          always sequential.  This guarantees that no task will ever see
          partial updates of any variable.  For volatile variables
          (including atomic variables), the above rule additionally
          specifies that all tasks see the same order of updates.

16.c/3
          {<AI05-0275-1AI05-0275-1>} If for a shared variable <X>, a
          read of <X> occurs sequentially after an update of <X>, then
          the read will return the updated value if <X> is volatile or
          atomic, but may or or may not return the updated value if <X>
          is nonvolatile.  For nonvolatile accesses, a signaling action
          is needed in order to share the updated value.

16.d/3
          {<AI05-0275-1AI05-0275-1>} Because accesses to the same atomic
          variable by different tasks establish a sequential order
          between the actions of those tasks, implementations may be
          required to emit memory barriers around such updates or use
          atomic instructions that imply such barriers.

17
Two actions are sequential (see *note 9.10::) if each is the read or
update of the same atomic object.

18
If a type is atomic or volatile and it is not a by-copy type, then the
type is defined to be a by-reference type.  If any subcomponent of a
type is atomic or volatile, then the type is defined to be a
by-reference type.

19
If an actual parameter is atomic or volatile, and the corresponding
formal parameter is not, then the parameter is passed by copy.

19.a
          Implementation Note: Note that in the case where such a
          parameter is normally passed by reference, a copy of the
          actual will have to be produced at the call-site, and a
          pointer to the copy passed to the formal parameter.  If the
          actual is atomic, any copying has to use indivisible read on
          the way in, and indivisible write on the way out.

19.b
          Reason: It has to be known at compile time whether an atomic
          or a volatile parameter is to be passed by copy or by
          reference.  For some types, it is unspecified whether
          parameters are passed by copy or by reference.  The above
          rules further specify the parameter passing rules involving
          atomic and volatile types and objects.

                     _Implementation Requirements_

20
The external effect of a program (see *note 1.1.3::) is defined to
include each read and update of a volatile or atomic object.  The
implementation shall not generate any memory reads or updates of atomic
or volatile objects other than those specified by the program.

20.a
          Discussion: The presumption is that volatile or atomic objects
          might reside in an "active" part of the address space where
          each read has a potential side effect, and at the very least
          might deliver a different value.

20.b
          The rule above and the definition of external effect are
          intended to prevent (at least) the following incorrect
          optimizations, where V is a volatile variable:

20.c
             * X:= V; Y:=V; cannot be allowed to be translated as Y:=V;
               X:=V;

20.d
             * Deleting redundant loads: X:= V; X:= V; shall read the
               value of V from memory twice.

20.e
             * Deleting redundant stores: V:= X; V:= X; shall write into
               V twice.

20.f
             * Extra stores: V:= X+Y; should not translate to something
               like V:= X; V:= V+Y;

20.g
             * Extra loads: X:= V; Y:= X+Z; X:=X+B; should not translate
               to something like Y:= V+Z; X:= V+B;

20.h
             * Reordering of loads from volatile variables: X:= V1; Y:=
               V2; (whether or not V1 = V2) should not translate to Y:=
               V2; X:= V1;

20.i
             * Reordering of stores to volatile variables: V1:= X; V2:=
               X; should not translate to V2:=X; V1:= X;

                        _Implementation Advice_

22/2
{<AI95-00259-01AI95-00259-01>} A load or store of a volatile object
whose size is a multiple of System.Storage_Unit and whose alignment is
nonzero, should be implemented by accessing exactly the bits of the
object and no others.

22.a/2
          Implementation Advice: A load or store of a volatile object
          whose size is a multiple of System.Storage_Unit and whose
          alignment is nonzero, should be implemented by accessing
          exactly the bits of the object and no others.

22.b/2
          Reason: Since any object can be a volatile object, including
          packed array components and bit-mapped record components, we
          require the above only when it is reasonable to assume that
          the machine can avoid accessing bits outside of the object.

22.c/2
          Ramification: This implies that the load or store of a
          volatile object that meets the above requirement should not be
          combined with that of any other object, nor should it access
          any bits not belonging to any other object.  This means that
          the suitability of the implementation for memory-mapped I/O
          can be determined from its documentation, as any cases where
          the implementation does not follow Implementation Advice must
          be documented.

23/2
{<AI95-00259-01AI95-00259-01>} A load or store of an atomic object
should, where possible, be implemented by a single load or store
instruction.

23.a/2
          Implementation Advice: A load or store of an atomic object
          should be implemented by a single load or store instruction.

     NOTES

24
     9  An imported volatile or atomic constant behaves as a constant
     (i.e.  read-only) with respect to other parts of the Ada program,
     but can still be modified by an "external source."

25/4
     10  {<AI12-0001-1AI12-0001-1>} Specifying the Pack aspect cannot
     override the effect of specifying an Atomic or Atomic_Components
     aspect.

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 83_

25.a
          Pragma Atomic replaces Ada 83's pragma Shared.  The name
          "Shared" was confusing, because the pragma was not used to
          mark variables as shared.

25.b/2
          {<AI95-00259-01AI95-00259-01>} Added Implementation Advice to
          clarify the meaning of Atomic and Volatile in machine terms.
          The documentation that this advice applies will make the use
          of Ada implementations more predictable for low-level (such as
          device register) programming.

25.c/2
          {<AI95-00272-01AI95-00272-01>} Added wording to clarify that a
          slice of an object of an atomic type is not atomic, just like
          a component of an atomic type is not (necessarily) atomic.

25.d/3
          {<AI05-0218-1AI05-0218-1>} Correction: Plugged a hole
          involving volatile components of formal types when the formal
          type's component has a nonvolatile type.  This was done by
          making certain actual types illegal for formal derived and
          formal array types; these types were allowed for Ada 95 and
          Ada 2005.

25.g/3
          {<AI05-0117-1AI05-0117-1>} {<AI05-0275-1AI05-0275-1>} Revised
          the definition of volatile to eliminate overspecification and
          simply focus on the root requirement (that all tasks see the
          same view of volatile objects).  This is not an inconsistency;
          "memory" arguably includes on-chip caches so long as those are
          kept consistent.  Moreover, it is difficult to imagine a
          program that could tell the difference.

25.h/3
          {<AI05-0142-4AI05-0142-4>} Added wording to take explicitly
          aliased parameters (see *note 6.1::) into account when
          determining the legality of parameter passing of volatile and
          atomic objects.

          objects are considered to be specified as independently
          addressable, and also eliminated an unnecessary rule.

C.7.1 The Package Task_Identification
-------------------------------------

                          _Static Semantics_

1
The following language-defined library package exists:

2/2
     {<AI95-00362-01AI95-00362-01>} package Ada.Task_Identification is
        pragma Preelaborate(Task_Identification);
        type Task_Id is private;
        pragma Preelaborable_Initialization (Task_Id);
        Null_Task_Id : constant Task_Id;
        function  "=" (Left, Right : Task_Id) return Boolean;

3/3
     {<8652/00708652/0070>} {<AI95-00101-01AI95-00101-01>} {<AI05-0189-1AI05-0189-1>}    function  Image                  (T : Task_Id) return String;
        function  Current_Task     return Task_Id;
        function  Environment_Task return Task_Id;
        procedure Abort_Task             (T : in Task_Id);

4/3
     {<AI05-0189-1AI05-0189-1>}    function  Is_Terminated          (T : Task_Id) return Boolean;
        function  Is_Callable            (T : Task_Id) return Boolean;
        function  Activation_Is_Complete (T : Task_Id) return Boolean;
     private
        ... -- <not specified by the language>
     end Ada.Task_Identification;

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

5
A value of the type Task_Id identifies an existent task.  The constant
Null_Task_Id does not identify any task.  Each object of the type
Task_Id is default initialized to the value of Null_Task_Id.

6
The function "=" returns True if and only if Left and Right identify the
same task or both have the value Null_Task_Id.

7
The function Image returns an implementation-defined string that
identifies T. If T equals Null_Task_Id, Image returns an empty string.

7.a
          Implementation defined: The result of the
          Task_Identification.Image attribute.

8
The function Current_Task returns a value that identifies the calling
task.

8.1/3
{<AI05-0189-1AI05-0189-1>} The function Environment_Task returns a value
that identifies the environment task.

9
The effect of Abort_Task is the same as the abort_statement for the task
identified by T. [In addition, if T identifies the environment task, the
entire partition is aborted, See *note E.1::.]

10
The functions Is_Terminated and Is_Callable return the value of the
corresponding attribute of the task identified by T.

10.a.1/1
          Ramification: {<8652/01158652/0115>}
          {<AI95-00206-01AI95-00206-01>} These routines can be called
          with an argument identifying the environment task.
          Is_Terminated will always be False for such a call, but
          Is_Callable (usually True) could be False if the environment
          task is waiting for the termination of dependent tasks.  Thus,
          a dependent task can use Is_Callable to determine if the main
          subprogram has completed.

10.1/3
{<AI05-0189-1AI05-0189-1>} The function Activation_Is_Complete returns
True if the task identified by T has completed its activation (whether
successfully or not).  It returns False otherwise.  If T identifies the
environment task, Activation_Is_Complete returns True after the
elaboration of the library_items of the partition has completed.

11
For a prefix T that is of a task type [(after any implicit
dereference)], the following attribute is defined:

12
T'Identity
               Yields a value of the type Task_Id that identifies the
               task denoted by T.

13
For a prefix E that denotes an entry_declaration, the following
attribute is defined:

14/3
E'Caller
               {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} Yields a value of the type
               Task_Id that identifies the task whose call is now being
               serviced.  Use of this attribute is allowed only inside
               an accept_statement, or entry_body after the
               entry_barrier, corresponding to the entry_declaration
               denoted by E.

15
Program_Error is raised if a value of Null_Task_Id is passed as a
parameter to Abort_Task, Is_Terminated, and Is_Callable.

16
Abort_Task is a potentially blocking operation (see *note 9.5.1::).

                      _Bounded (Run-Time) Errors_

17/3
{<AI95-00237-01AI95-00237-01>} {<AI05-0004-1AI05-0004-1>} It is a
bounded error to call the Current_Task function from an entry_body,
interrupt handler, or finalization of a task attribute.  Program_Error
is raised, or an implementation-defined value of the type Task_Id is
returned.

17.a/2
          Implementation defined: The value of Current_Task when in a
          protected entry, interrupt handler, or finalization of a task
          attribute.

17.b
          Implementation Note: This value could be Null_Task_Id, or the
          ID of some user task, or that of an internal task created by
          the implementation.

17.c/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00237-01AI95-00237-01>} An entry barrier
          is syntactically part of an entry_body, so a call to
          Current_Task from an entry barrier is also covered by this
          rule.

                         _Erroneous Execution_

18
If a value of Task_Id is passed as a parameter to any of the operations
declared in this package (or any language-defined child of this
package), and the corresponding task object no longer exists, the
execution of the program is erroneous.

                     _Documentation Requirements_

19
The implementation shall document the effect of calling Current_Task
from an entry body or interrupt handler.

19.a/2
          <This paragraph was deleted.>

19.b/2
          Documentation Requirement: The effect of calling Current_Task
          from an entry body or interrupt handler.

     NOTES

20
     11  This package is intended for use in writing user-defined task
     scheduling packages and constructing server tasks.  Current_Task
     can be used in conjunction with other operations requiring a task
     as an argument such as Set_Priority (see *note D.5::).

21
     12  The function Current_Task and the attribute Caller can return a
     Task_Id value that identifies the environment task.

                        _Extensions to Ada 95_

21.a/2
          {<AI95-00362-01AI95-00362-01>} Task_Identification is now
          preelaborated, so it can be used in preelaborated units.

          Corrigendum: Corrected the mode of the parameter to Abort_Task
          to in.

21.c/2
          {<AI95-00237-01AI95-00237-01>} Corrected the wording to
          include finalization of a task attribute in the bounded error
          case; we don't want to specify which task does these
          operations.

                   _Incompatibilities With Ada 2005_

21.d/3
          {<AI05-0189-1AI05-0189-1>} Functions Environment_Task and
          Activation_Is_Complete are added to Task_Identification.  If
          Task_Identification is referenced in a use_clause, and an
          entity <E> with a defining_identifier of Environment_Task or
          Activation_Is_Complete is defined in a package that is also
          referenced in a use_clause, the entity <E> may no longer be
          use-visible, resulting in errors.  This should be rare and is
          easily fixed if it does occur.

C.7.2 The Package Task_Attributes
---------------------------------

                          _Static Semantics_

1
The following language-defined generic library package exists:

2
     with Ada.Task_Identification; use Ada.Task_Identification;
     generic
        type Attribute is private;
        Initial_Value : in Attribute;
     package Ada.Task_Attributes is

3
        type Attribute_Handle is access all Attribute;

4
        function Value(T : Task_Id := Current_Task)
          return Attribute;

5
        function Reference(T : Task_Id := Current_Task)
          return Attribute_Handle;

6
        procedure Set_Value(Val : in Attribute;
                            T : in Task_Id := Current_Task);
        procedure Reinitialize(T : in Task_Id := Current_Task);

7
     end Ada.Task_Attributes;

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

8
When an instance of Task_Attributes is elaborated in a given active
partition, an object of the actual type corresponding to the formal type
Attribute is implicitly created for each task (of that partition) that
exists and is not yet terminated.  This object acts as a user-defined
attribute of the task.  A task created previously in the partition and
not yet terminated has this attribute from that point on.  Each task
subsequently created in the partition will have this attribute when
created.  In all these cases, the initial value of the given attribute
is Initial_Value.

9
The Value operation returns the value of the corresponding attribute of
T.

10
The Reference operation returns an access value that designates the
corresponding attribute of T.

11
The Set_Value operation performs any finalization on the old value of
the attribute of T and assigns Val to that attribute (see *note 5.2::
and *note 7.6::).

12
The effect of the Reinitialize operation is the same as Set_Value where
the Val parameter is replaced with Initial_Value.

12.a
          Implementation Note: In most cases, the attribute memory can
          be reclaimed at this point.

13
For all the operations declared in this package, Tasking_Error is raised
if the task identified by T is terminated.  Program_Error is raised if
the value of T is Null_Task_Id.

13.1/2
{<AI95-00237-01AI95-00237-01>} After a task has terminated, all of its
attributes are finalized, unless they have been finalized earlier.  When
the master of an instantiation of Ada.Task_Attributes is finalized, the
corresponding attribute of each task is finalized, unless it has been
finalized earlier.

13.a/2
          Reason: This is necessary so that a task attribute does not
          outlive its type.  For instance, that's possible if the
          instantiation is nested, and the attribute is on a
          library-level task.

13.b/2
          Ramification: The task owning an attribute cannot, in general,
          finalize that attribute.  That's because the attributes are
          finalized <after> the task is terminated; moreover, a task may
          have attributes as soon as it is created; the task may never
          even have been activated.

                      _Bounded (Run-Time) Errors_

13.2/1
{<8652/00718652/0071>} {<AI95-00165-01AI95-00165-01>} If the package
Ada.Task_Attributes is instantiated with a controlled type and the
controlled type has user-defined Adjust or Finalize operations that in
turn access task attributes by any of the above operations, then a call
of Set_Value of the instantiated package constitutes a bounded error.
The call may perform as expected or may result in forever blocking the
calling task and subsequently some or all tasks of the partition.

                         _Erroneous Execution_

14
It is erroneous to dereference the access value returned by a given call
on Reference after a subsequent call on Reinitialize for the same task
attribute, or after the associated task terminates.

14.a
          Reason: This allows the storage to be reclaimed for the object
          associated with an attribute upon Reinitialize or task
          termination.

15
If a value of Task_Id is passed as a parameter to any of the operations
declared in this package and the corresponding task object no longer
exists, the execution of the program is erroneous.

15.1/2
{<8652/00718652/0071>} {<AI95-00165-01AI95-00165-01>}
{<AI95-00237-01AI95-00237-01>} An access to a task attribute via a value
of type Attribute_Handle is erroneous if executed concurrently with
another such access or a call of any of the operations declared in
package Task_Attributes.  An access to a task attribute is erroneous if
executed concurrently with or after the finalization of the task
attribute.

15.a.1/1
          Reason: There is no requirement of atomicity on accesses via a
          value of type Attribute_Handle.

15.a.2/2
          Ramification: A task attribute can only be accessed after
          finalization through a value of type Attribute_Handle.
          Operations in package Task_Attributes cannot be used to access
          a task attribute after finalization, because either the master
          of the instance has been or is in the process of being left
          (in which case the instance is out of scope and thus cannot be
          called), or the associated task is already terminated (in
          which case Tasking_Error is raised for any attempt to call a
          task attribute operation).

                     _Implementation Requirements_

16/1
{<8652/00718652/0071>} {<AI95-00165-01AI95-00165-01>} For a given
attribute of a given task, the implementation shall perform the
operations declared in this package atomically with respect to any of
these operations of the same attribute of the same task.  The
granularity of any locking mechanism necessary to achieve such atomicity
is implementation defined.

16.a.1/1
          Implementation defined: Granularity of locking for
          Task_Attributes.

16.a
          Ramification: Hence, other than by dereferencing an access
          value returned by Reference, an attribute of a given task can
          be safely read and updated concurrently by multiple tasks.

17/2
{<AI95-00237-01AI95-00237-01>} After task attributes are finalized, the
implementation shall reclaim any storage associated with the attributes.

                     _Documentation Requirements_

18
The implementation shall document the limit on the number of attributes
per task, if any, and the limit on the total storage for attribute
values per task, if such a limit exists.

19
In addition, if these limits can be configured, the implementation shall
document how to configure them.

19.a/2
          <This paragraph was deleted.>

19.b/2
          Documentation Requirement: For package Task_Attributes, limits
          on the number and size of task attributes, and how to
          configure any limits.

                               _Metrics_

20/2
{<AI95-00434-01AI95-00434-01>} The implementation shall document the
following metrics: A task calling the following subprograms shall
execute at a sufficiently high priority as to not be preempted during
the measurement period.  This period shall start just before issuing the
call and end just after the call completes.  If the attributes of task T
are accessed by the measurement tests, no other task shall access
attributes of that task during the measurement period.  For all
measurements described here, the Attribute type shall be a scalar type
whose size is equal to the size of the predefined type Integer.  For
each measurement, two cases shall be documented: one where the accessed
attributes are of the calling task [(that is, the default value for the
T parameter is used)], and the other, where T identifies another,
nonterminated, task.

21
The following calls (to subprograms in the Task_Attributes package)
shall be measured:

22
   * a call to Value, where the return value is Initial_Value;

23
   * a call to Value, where the return value is not equal to
     Initial_Value;

24
   * a call to Reference, where the return value designates a value
     equal to Initial_Value;

25
   * a call to Reference, where the return value designates a value not
     equal to Initial_Value;

26/2
   * {<AI95-00434-01AI95-00434-01>} a call to Set_Value where the Val
     parameter is not equal to Initial_Value and the old attribute value
     is equal to Initial_Value;

27
   * a call to Set_Value where the Val parameter is not equal to
     Initial_Value and the old attribute value is not equal to
     Initial_Value.

27.a/2
          Documentation Requirement: The metrics for the Task_Attributes
          package.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

28
An implementation need not actually create the object corresponding to a
task attribute until its value is set to something other than that of
Initial_Value, or until Reference is called for the task attribute.
Similarly, when the value of the attribute is to be reinitialized to
that of Initial_Value, the object may instead be finalized and its
storage reclaimed, to be recreated when needed later.  While the object
does not exist, the function Value may simply return Initial_Value,
rather than implicitly creating the object.

28.a
          Discussion: The effect of this permission can only be observed
          if the assignment operation for the corresponding type has
          side effects.

28.b/2
          Implementation Note: {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} This
          permission means that even though every task has every
          attribute, storage need only be allocated for those attributes
          for which function Reference has been invoked or set to a
          value other than that of Initial_Value.

29
An implementation is allowed to place restrictions on the maximum number
of attributes a task may have, the maximum size of each attribute, and
the total storage size allocated for all the attributes of a task.

                        _Implementation Advice_

30/2
{<AI95-00434-01AI95-00434-01>} Some implementations are targeted to
domains in which memory use at run time must be completely
deterministic.  For such implementations, it is recommended that the
storage for task attributes will be pre-allocated statically and not
from the heap.  This can be accomplished by either placing restrictions
on the number and the size of the attributes of a task, or by using the
pre-allocated storage for the first N attribute objects, and the heap
for the others.  In the latter case, N should be documented.

30.a/2
          Implementation Advice: If the target domain requires
          deterministic memory use at run time, storage for task
          attributes should be pre-allocated statically and the number
          of attributes pre-allocated should be documented.

30.b/2
          Discussion: We don't mention "restrictions on the size and
          number" (that is, limits) in the text for the Annex, because
          it is covered by the Documentation Requirement above, and we
          try not to repeat requirements in the Annex (they're enough
          work to meet without having to do things twice).

30.1/2
{<AI95-00237-01AI95-00237-01>} Finalization of task attributes and
reclamation of associated storage should be performed as soon as
possible after task termination.

30.c/2
          Implementation Advice: Finalization of task attributes and
          reclamation of associated storage should be performed as soon
          as possible after task termination.

30.d/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00237-01AI95-00237-01>} This is necessary
          because the normative wording only says that attributes are
          finalized "after" task termination.  Without this advice,
          waiting until the instance is finalized would meet the
          requirements (it is after termination, but may be a very long
          time after termination).  We can't say anything more specific
          than this, as we do not want to require the overhead of an
          interaction with the tasking system to be done at a specific
          point.

     NOTES

31
     13  An attribute always exists (after instantiation), and has the
     initial value.  It need not occupy memory until the first operation
     that potentially changes the attribute value.  The same holds true
     after Reinitialize.

32
     14  The result of the Reference function should be used with care;
     it is always safe to use that result in the task body whose
     attribute is being accessed.  However, when the result is being
     used by another task, the programmer must make sure that the task
     whose attribute is being accessed is not yet terminated.  Failing
     to do so could make the program execution erroneous.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

33.a/2
          {<8652/00718652/0071>} {<AI95-00165-01AI95-00165-01>}
          Corrigendum: Clarified that use of task attribute operations
          from within a task attribute operation (by an Adjust or
          Finalize call) is a bounded error, and that concurrent use of
          attribute handles is erroneous.

33.b/2
          {<AI95-00237-01AI95-00237-01>} Clarified the wording so that
          the finalization takes place after the termination of the task
          or when the instance is finalized (whichever is sooner).

C.7.3 The Package Task_Termination
----------------------------------

                          _Static Semantics_

1/2
{<AI95-00266-02AI95-00266-02>} The following language-defined library
package exists:

2/2
     with Ada.Task_Identification;
     with Ada.Exceptions;
     package Ada.Task_Termination is
        pragma Preelaborate(Task_Termination);

3/2
        type Cause_Of_Termination is (Normal, Abnormal, Unhandled_Exception);

4/2
        type Termination_Handler is access protected procedure
          (Cause : in Cause_Of_Termination;
           T     : in Ada.Task_Identification.Task_Id;
           X     : in Ada.Exceptions.Exception_Occurrence);

5/2
        procedure Set_Dependents_Fallback_Handler
          (Handler: in Termination_Handler);
        function Current_Task_Fallback_Handler return Termination_Handler;

6/2
        procedure Set_Specific_Handler
          (T       : in Ada.Task_Identification.Task_Id;
           Handler : in Termination_Handler);
        function Specific_Handler (T : Ada.Task_Identification.Task_Id)
           return Termination_Handler;

7/2
     end Ada.Task_Termination;

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

8/3
{<AI95-00266-02AI95-00266-02>} {<AI05-0202-1AI05-0202-1>} The type
Termination_Handler identifies a protected procedure to be executed by
the implementation when a task terminates.  Such a protected procedure
is called a <handler>.  In all cases T identifies the task that is
terminating.  If the task terminates due to completing the last
statement of its body, or as a result of waiting on a terminate
alternative, and the finalization of the task completes normally, then
Cause is set to Normal and X is set to Null_Occurrence.  If the task
terminates because it is being aborted, then Cause is set to Abnormal; X
is set to Null_Occurrence if the finalization of the task completes
normally.  If the task terminates because of an exception raised by the
execution of its task_body, then Cause is set to Unhandled_Exception; X
is set to the associated exception occurrence if the finalization of the
task completes normally.  Independent of how the task completes, if
finalization of the task propagates an exception, then Cause is either
Unhandled_Exception or Abnormal, and X is an exception occurrence that
identifies the Program_Error exception.

9/2
{<AI95-00266-02AI95-00266-02>} Each task has two termination handlers, a
<fall-back handler> and a <specific handler>.  The specific handler
applies only to the task itself, while the fall-back handler applies
only to the dependent tasks of the task.  A handler is said to be <set>
if it is associated with a nonnull value of type Termination_Handler,
and <cleared> otherwise.  When a task is created, its specific handler
and fall-back handler are cleared.

10/3
{<AI95-00266-02AI95-00266-02>} {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} The procedure
Set_Dependents_Fallback_Handler changes the fall-back handler for the
calling task: if Handler is null, that fall-back handler is cleared;
otherwise, it is set to be Handler.all.  If a fall-back handler had
previously been set it is replaced.

11/3
{<AI95-00266-02AI95-00266-02>} {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} The function
Current_Task_Fallback_Handler returns the fall-back handler that is
currently set for the calling task, if one is set; otherwise, it returns
null.

12/3
{<AI95-00266-02AI95-00266-02>} {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} The procedure
Set_Specific_Handler changes the specific handler for the task
identified by T: if Handler is null, that specific handler is cleared;
otherwise, it is set to be Handler.all.  If a specific handler had
previously been set it is replaced.

12.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} This package cannot
          portably be used to set a handler on the program as a whole.
          It is possible to call Set_Specific_Handler with the
          environment task's ID. But any call to the handler would
          necessarily be a Bounded (Run-Time) Error, as the handler is
          called after the task's finalization has completed.  In the
          case of the environment task, that includes any possible
          protected objects, and calling a protected object after it is
          finalized is a Bounded (Run-Time) Error (see *note 9.4::).
          This might work in a particular implementation, but it cannot
          be depended upon.

13/3
{<AI95-00266-02AI95-00266-02>} {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} The function
Specific_Handler returns the specific handler that is currently set for
the task identified by T, if one is set; otherwise, it returns null.

14/2
{<AI95-00266-02AI95-00266-02>} As part of the finalization of a
task_body, after performing the actions specified in *note 7.6:: for
finalization of a master, the specific handler for the task, if one is
set, is executed.  If the specific handler is cleared, a search for a
fall-back handler proceeds by recursively following the master
relationship for the task.  If a task is found whose fall-back handler
is set, that handler is executed; otherwise, no handler is executed.

15/2
{<AI95-00266-02AI95-00266-02>} For Set_Specific_Handler or
Specific_Handler, Tasking_Error is raised if the task identified by T
has already terminated.  Program_Error is raised if the value of T is
Ada.Task_Identification.Null_Task_Id.

16/2
{<AI95-00266-02AI95-00266-02>} An exception propagated from a handler
that is invoked as part of the termination of a task has no effect.

                         _Erroneous Execution_

17/2
{<AI95-00266-02AI95-00266-02>} For a call of Set_Specific_Handler or
Specific_Handler, if the task identified by T no longer exists, the
execution of the program is erroneous.

                        _Extensions to Ada 95_

17.a/2
          {<AI95-00266-02AI95-00266-02>} Package Task_Termination is
          new.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

17.b/3
          {<AI05-0202-1AI05-0202-1>} Correction: Specified what is
          passed to the handler if the finalization of the task fails
          after it is completed.  This was not specified at all in Ada
          2005, so there is a possibility that some program depended on
          some other behavior of an implementation.  But as this case is
          very unlikely (and only occurs when there is already a
          significant bug in the program - so should not occur in
          fielded systems), we're not listing this as an inconsistency.


File: aarm2012.info,  Node: Annex D,  Next: Annex E,  Prev: Annex C,  Up: Top

Annex D Real-Time Systems
*************************

1
This Annex specifies additional characteristics of Ada implementations
intended for real-time systems software.  To conform to this Annex, an
implementation shall also conform to the Systems Programming Annex.

                               _Metrics_

2
The metrics are documentation requirements; an implementation shall
document the values of the language-defined metrics for at least one
configuration [of hardware or an underlying system] supported by the
implementation, and shall document the details of that configuration.

2.a/2
          <This paragraph was deleted.>

2.a.1/2
          Documentation Requirement: The details of the configuration
          used to generate the values of all metrics.

2.b
          Reason: The actual values of the metrics are likely to depend
          on hardware configuration details that are variable and
          generally outside the control of a compiler vendor.

3
The metrics do not necessarily yield a simple number.  [For some, a
range is more suitable, for others a formula dependent on some parameter
is appropriate, and for others, it may be more suitable to break the
metric into several cases.]  Unless specified otherwise, the metrics in
this annex are expressed in processor clock cycles.  For metrics that
require documentation of an upper bound, if there is no upper bound, the
implementation shall report that the metric is unbounded.

3.a
          Discussion: There are several good reasons to specify metrics
          in seconds; there are however equally good reasons to specify
          them in processor clock cycles.  In defining the metrics, we
          have tried to strike a balance on a case-by-case basis.

3.b
          It has been suggested that all metrics should be given names,
          so that "data-sheets" could be formulated and published by
          vendors.  However the paragraph number can serve that purpose.

     NOTES

4
     1  The specification of the metrics makes a distinction between
     upper bounds and simple execution times.  Where something is just
     specified as "the execution time of" a piece of code, this leaves
     one the freedom to choose a nonpathological case.  This kind of
     metric is of the form "there exists a program such that the value
     of the metric is V". Conversely, the meaning of upper bounds is
     "there is no program such that the value of the metric is greater
     than V". This kind of metric can only be partially tested, by
     finding the value of V for one or more test programs.

5
     2  The metrics do not cover the whole language; they are limited to
     features that are specified in *note Annex C::, "*note Annex C::
     Systems Programming" and in this Annex.  The metrics are intended
     to provide guidance to potential users as to whether a particular
     implementation of such a feature is going to be adequate for a
     particular real-time application.  As such, the metrics are aimed
     at known implementation choices that can result in significant
     performance differences.

6
     3  The purpose of the metrics is not necessarily to provide
     fine-grained quantitative results or to serve as a comparison
     between different implementations on the same or different
     platforms.  Instead, their goal is rather qualitative; to define a
     standard set of approximate values that can be measured and used to
     estimate the general suitability of an implementation, or to
     evaluate the comparative utility of certain features of an
     implementation for a particular real-time application.

D.1 Task Priorities
===================

1/3
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} [This subclause specifies the priority model
for real-time systems.  In addition, the methods for specifying
priorities are defined.]

<Paragraphs 2 through 6 were moved to *note Annex J::, "*note Annex J::
Obsolescent Features".>

                          _Static Semantics_

6.1/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} For a task type (including the anonymous type
of a single_task_declaration), protected type (including the anonymous
type of a single_protected_declaration), or subprogram, the following
language-defined representation aspects may be specified:

6.2/3
Priority
               The aspect Priority is an expression, which shall be of
               type Integer.

6.a/3
          Aspect Description for Priority: Priority of a task object or
          type, or priority of a protected object or type; the priority
          is not in the interrupt range.

6.3/3
Interrupt_Priority
               The aspect Interrupt_Priority is an expression, which
               shall be of type Integer.

6.b/3
          Aspect Description for Interrupt_Priority: Priority of a task
          object or type, or priority of a protected object or type; the
          priority is in the interrupt range.

                           _Legality Rules_

7/3
<This paragraph was deleted.>{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>}

8/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} If the Priority aspect is specified for a
subprogram, the expression shall be static, and its value shall be in
the range of System.Priority.

8.a
          Reason: This value is needed before it gets elaborated, when
          the environment task starts executing.

8.1/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} At most one of the Priority and
Interrupt_Priority aspects may be specified for a given entity.

8.b/3
          Ramification: This includes specifying via pragmas (see *note
          J.15.11::).  Note that *note 13.1:: prevents multiple
          specifications of a single representation aspect by any means.

8.2/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} Neither of the Priority or Interrupt_Priority
aspects shall be specified for a synchronized interface type.

                          _Static Semantics_

9
The following declarations exist in package System:

10
     subtype Any_Priority is Integer range <implementation-defined>;
     subtype Priority is Any_Priority
        range Any_Priority'First .. <implementation-defined>;
     subtype Interrupt_Priority is Any_Priority
        range Priority'Last+1 .. Any_Priority'Last;

11
     Default_Priority : constant Priority := (Priority'First + Priority'Last)/2;

11.a
          Implementation defined: The declarations of Any_Priority and
          Priority.

12
The full range of priority values supported by an implementation is
specified by the subtype Any_Priority.  The subrange of priority values
that are high enough to require the blocking of one or more interrupts
is specified by the subtype Interrupt_Priority.  [The subrange of
priority values below System.Interrupt_Priority'First is specified by
the subtype System.Priority.]

13/3
<This paragraph was deleted.>{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>}

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

14/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} The Priority aspect has no effect if it is
specified for a subprogram other than the main subprogram; the Priority
value is not associated with any task.

15
A <task priority> is an integer value that indicates a degree of urgency
and is the basis for resolving competing demands of tasks for resources.
Unless otherwise specified, whenever tasks compete for processors or
other implementation-defined resources, the resources are allocated to
the task with the highest priority value.  The <base priority> of a task
is the priority with which it was created, or to which it was later set
by Dynamic_Priorities.Set_Priority (see *note D.5::).  At all times, a
task also has an <active priority>, which generally reflects its base
priority as well as any priority it inherits from other sources.
<Priority inheritance> is the process by which the priority of a task or
other entity (e.g.  a protected object; see *note D.3::) is used in the
evaluation of another task's active priority.

15.a
          Implementation defined: Implementation-defined execution
          resources.

16/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} The effect of specifying a Priority or
Interrupt_Priority aspect for a protected type or
single_protected_declaration is discussed in *note D.3::.

17/4
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} {<AI12-0081-1AI12-0081-1>} The expression
specified for the Priority or Interrupt_Priority aspect of a task type
is evaluated each time an object of the task type is created (see *note
9.1::).  For the Priority aspect, the value of the expression is
converted to the subtype Priority; for the Interrupt_Priority aspect,
this value is converted to the subtype Any_Priority.  The priority value
is then associated with the task object.  

18/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} Likewise, the priority value is associated
with the environment task if the aspect is specified for the main
subprogram.

19/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} The initial value of a task's base priority
is specified by default or by means of a Priority or Interrupt_Priority
aspect.  [After a task is created, its base priority can be changed only
by a call to Dynamic_Priorities.Set_Priority (see *note D.5::).]  The
initial base priority of a task in the absence of an aspect is the base
priority of the task that creates it at the time of creation (see *note
9.1::).  If the aspect Priority is not specified for the main
subprogram, the initial base priority of the environment task is
System.Default_Priority.  [The task's active priority is used when the
task competes for processors.  Similarly, the task's active priority is
used to determine the task's position in any queue when Priority_Queuing
is specified (see *note D.4::).]

20/2
{<AI95-00357-01AI95-00357-01>} At any time, the active priority of a
task is the maximum of all the priorities the task is inheriting at that
instant.  For a task that is not held (see *note D.11::), its base
priority is a source of priority inheritance unless otherwise specified
for a particular task dispatching policy.  Other sources of priority
inheritance are specified under the following conditions:

20.a
          Discussion: Other parts of the annex, e.g.  *note D.11::,
          define other sources of priority inheritance.

21/1
   * {<8652/00728652/0072>} {<AI95-00092-01AI95-00092-01>} During
     activation, a task being activated inherits the active priority
     that its activator (see *note 9.2::) had at the time the activation
     was initiated.

22/1
   * {<8652/00728652/0072>} {<AI95-00092-01AI95-00092-01>} During
     rendezvous, the task accepting the entry call inherits the priority
     of the entry call (see *note 9.5.3:: and *note D.4::).

23
   * During a protected action on a protected object, a task inherits
     the ceiling priority of the protected object (see *note 9.5:: and
     *note D.3::).

24
In all of these cases, the priority ceases to be inherited as soon as
the condition calling for the inheritance no longer exists.

                     _Implementation Requirements_

25
The range of System.Interrupt_Priority shall include at least one value.

26
The range of System.Priority shall include at least 30 values.

     NOTES

27
     4  The priority expression can include references to discriminants
     of the enclosing type.

28
     5  It is a consequence of the active priority rules that at the
     point when a task stops inheriting a priority from another source,
     its active priority is re-evaluated.  This is in addition to other
     instances described in this Annex for such re-evaluation.

29/3
     6  {<AI05-0248-1AI05-0248-1>} An implementation may provide a
     nonstandard mode in which tasks inherit priorities under conditions
     other than those specified above.

29.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} The use of a Priority
          or Interrupt_Priority aspect does not require the package
          System to be named in a with_clause for the enclosing
          compilation_unit.

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

29.b
          The priority of a task is per-object and not per-type.

          Priorities need not be static anymore (except for the main
          subprogram).

          Corrigendum: Clarified that dynamic priority changes are not
          transitive - that is, they don't apply to tasks that are being
          activated by or in rendezvous with the task that had its
          priority changed.

29.f/2
          {<AI95-00357-01AI95-00357-01>} Generalized the definition of

D.2.1 The Task Dispatching Model
--------------------------------

1/2
{<AI95-00321-01AI95-00321-01>} [The task dispatching model specifies
task scheduling, based on conceptual priority-ordered ready queues.]

                          _Static Semantics_

1.1/2
{<AI95-00355-01AI95-00355-01>} The following language-defined library
package exists:

1.2/3
     {<AI05-0166-1AI05-0166-1>} package Ada.Dispatching is
       pragma Preelaborate(Dispatching);

1.3/3
     {<AI05-0166-1AI05-0166-1>}   procedure Yield;

1.4/3
     {<AI05-0166-1AI05-0166-1>}   Dispatching_Policy_Error : exception;
     end Ada.Dispatching;

1.5/2
Dispatching serves as the parent of other language-defined library units
concerned with task dispatching.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

2/2
{<AI95-00321-01AI95-00321-01>} A task can become a <running task> only
if it is ready (see *note 9::) and the execution resources required by
that task are available.  Processors are allocated to tasks based on
each task's active priority.

3
It is implementation defined whether, on a multiprocessor, a task that
is waiting for access to a protected object keeps its processor busy.

3.a
          Implementation defined: Whether, on a multiprocessor, a task
          that is waiting for access to a protected object keeps its
          processor busy.

4/2
{<AI95-00321-01AI95-00321-01>} <Task dispatching> is the process by
which one ready task is selected for execution on a processor.  This
selection is done at certain points during the execution of a task
called <task dispatching points>.  A task reaches a task dispatching
point whenever it becomes blocked, and when it terminates.  [Other task
dispatching points are defined throughout this Annex for specific
policies.]

4.a
          Ramification: On multiprocessor systems, more than one task
          can be chosen, at the same time, for execution on more than
          one processor, as explained below.

5/2
{<AI95-00321-01AI95-00321-01>} <Task dispatching policies> are specified
in terms of conceptual <ready queues> and task states.  A ready queue is
an ordered list of ready tasks.  The first position in a queue is called
the <head of the queue>, and the last position is called the <tail of
the queue>.  A task is <ready> if it is in a ready queue, or if it is
running.  Each processor has one ready queue for each priority value.
At any instant, each ready queue of a processor contains exactly the set
of tasks of that priority that are ready for execution on that
processor, but are not running on any processor; that is, those tasks
that are ready, are not running on any processor, and can be executed
using that processor and other available resources.  A task can be on
the ready queues of more than one processor.

5.a
          Discussion: The core language defines a ready task as one that
          is not blocked.  Here we refine this definition and talk about
          ready queues.

6/2
{<AI95-00321-01AI95-00321-01>} Each processor also has one <running
task>, which is the task currently being executed by that processor.
Whenever a task running on a processor reaches a task dispatching point
it goes back to one or more ready queues; a task (possibly the same
task) is then selected to run on that processor.  The task selected is
the one at the head of the highest priority nonempty ready queue; this
task is then removed from all ready queues to which it belongs.

6.a
          Discussion: There is always at least one task to run, if we
          count the idle task.

7/3
{<AI95-00321-01AI95-00321-01>} {<AI05-0166-1AI05-0166-1>} A call of
Yield is a task dispatching point.  Yield is a potentially blocking
operation (see *note 9.5.1::).

                     _Implementation Permissions_

9/2
{<AI95-00321-01AI95-00321-01>} An implementation is allowed to define
additional resources as execution resources, and to define the
corresponding allocation policies for them.  Such resources may have an
implementation-defined effect on task dispatching.

9.a/2
          Implementation defined: The effect of implementation-defined
          execution resources on task dispatching.

10
An implementation may place implementation-defined restrictions on tasks
whose active priority is in the Interrupt_Priority range.

10.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} For example, on some
          operating systems, it might be necessary to disallow them
          altogether.  This permission applies to tasks whose priority
          is set to interrupt level for any reason: via an aspect, via a
          call to Dynamic_Priorities.Set_Priority, or via priority
          inheritance.

10.1/2
{<AI95-00321-01AI95-00321-01>} [For optimization purposes,] an
implementation may alter the points at which task dispatching occurs, in
an implementation-defined manner.  However, a delay_statement always
corresponds to at least one task dispatching point.

     NOTES

11/3
     7  {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} Clause *note 9:: specifies under
     which circumstances a task becomes ready.  The ready state is
     affected by the rules for task activation and termination, delay
     statements, and entry calls.  When a task is not ready, it is said
     to be blocked.

12
     8  An example of a possible implementation-defined execution
     resource is a page of physical memory, which needs to be loaded
     with a particular page of virtual memory before a task can continue
     execution.

13
     9  The ready queues are purely conceptual; there is no requirement
     that such lists physically exist in an implementation.

14
     10  While a task is running, it is not on any ready queue.  Any
     time the task that is running on a processor is added to a ready
     queue, a new running task is selected for that processor.

15
     11  In a multiprocessor system, a task can be on the ready queues
     of more than one processor.  At the extreme, if several processors
     share the same set of ready tasks, the contents of their ready
     queues is identical, and so they can be viewed as sharing one ready
     queue, and can be implemented that way.  [Thus, the dispatching
     model covers multiprocessors where dispatching is implemented using
     a single ready queue, as well as those with separate dispatching
     domains.]

16
     12  The priority of a task is determined by rules specified in this
     subclause, and under *note D.1::, "*note D.1:: Task Priorities",
     *note D.3::, "*note D.3:: Priority Ceiling Locking", and *note
     D.5::, "*note D.5:: Dynamic Priorities".

17/2
     13  {<AI95-00321-01AI95-00321-01>} The setting of a task's base
     priority as a result of a call to Set_Priority does not always take
     effect immediately when Set_Priority is called.  The effect of
     setting the task's base priority is deferred while the affected
     task performs a protected action.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

17.a/3
          {<AI95-00321-01AI95-00321-01>} {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} This
          description is simplified to describe only the parts of the
          dispatching model common to all policies.  In particular,
          rules about preemption are moved elsewhere.  This makes it
          easier to add other policies (which might not involve
          preemption).

                   _Incompatibilities With Ada 2005_

17.b/3
          {<AI05-0166-1AI05-0166-1>} Procedure Yield is added to
          Dispatching.  If Dispatching is referenced in a use_clause,
          and an entity <E> with a defining_identifier of Yield is
          defined in a package that is also referenced in a use_clause,
          the entity <E> may no longer be use-visible, resulting in
          errors.  This should be rare and is easily fixed if it does
          occur.

17.c/4
          {<AI05-0166-1AI05-0166-1>} {<AI12-0005-1AI12-0005-1>} Package
          Dispatching was a Pure package, but now is Preelaborated with
          the addition of Yield.  This is incompatible as Dispatching
          can no longer be depended upon from a Pure package.  This
          should happen rarely in practice as the only contents was the
          exception Dispatching_Policy_Error and none of the child
          packages that could raise that exception are pure.

subclause allows a single task dispatching policy to be defined for all
priorities, or the range of priorities to be split into subranges that

4.3/2
{<AI95-00355-01AI95-00355-01>} Pragma Task_Dispatching_Policy specifies
the single task dispatching policy.

4.4/2
{<AI95-00355-01AI95-00355-01>} Pragma Priority_Specific_Dispatching
specifies the task dispatching policy for the specified range of
priorities.  Tasks with base priorities within the range of priorities
specified in a Priority_Specific_Dispatching pragma have their active
priorities determined according to the specified dispatching policy.
Tasks with active priorities within the range of priorities specified in
a Priority_Specific_Dispatching pragma are dispatched according to the
specified dispatching policy.

4.b/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00355-01AI95-00355-01>} Each ready queue is
          managed by exactly one policy.  Anything else would be chaos.
          The ready queue is determined by the active priority.
          However, how the active priority is calculated is determined
          by the policy; in order to break out of this circle, we have
          to say that the active priority is calculated by the method
          determined by the policy of the base priority.

4.5/3
{<AI95-00355-01AI95-00355-01>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} If a partition

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

7/2
{<AI95-00355-01AI95-00355-01>} [A <task dispatching policy> specifies
the details of task dispatching that are not covered by the basic task
dispatching model.  These rules govern when tasks are inserted into and
deleted from the ready queues.]  A single task dispatching policy is
specified by a Task_Dispatching_Policy pragma.  Pragma
Priority_Specific_Dispatching assigns distinct dispatching policies to
subranges of System.Any_Priority.

7.1/2
{<AI95-00355-01AI95-00355-01>} If neither pragma applies to any of the
program units comprising a partition, the task dispatching policy for
that partition is unspecified.

7.2/3
{<AI95-00355-01AI95-00355-01>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} If a partition
contains one or more Priority_Specific_Dispatching pragmas, a task
dispatching point occurs for the currently running task of a processor
whenever there is a nonempty ready queue for that processor with a
higher priority than the priority of the running task.

7.a/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} If we have priority
          specific dispatching then we want preemption across the entire
          range of priorities.  That prevents higher priority tasks from
          being blocked by lower priority tasks that have a different
          policy.  On the other hand, if we have a single policy for the
          entire partition, we want the characteristics of that policy
          to apply for preemption; specifically, we might not require
          any preemption.  Note that policy
          Non_Preemptive_FIFO_Within_Priorities is not allowed in a
          priority specific dispatching pragma.

7.3/2
{<AI95-00355-01AI95-00355-01>} A task that has its base priority changed
may move from one dispatching policy to another.  It is immediately
subject to the new dispatching policy.

3/2
{<AI95-00321-01AI95-00321-01>} When FIFO_Within_Priorities is in effect,
modifications to the ready queues occur only as follows:

4/2
   * {<AI95-00321-01AI95-00321-01>} When a blocked task becomes ready,
     it is added at the tail of the ready queue for its active priority.

5/2
   * When the active priority of a ready task that is not running
     changes, or the setting of its base priority takes effect, the task
     is removed from the ready queue for its old active priority and is
     added at the tail of the ready queue for its new active priority,
     except in the case where the active priority is lowered due to the
     loss of inherited priority, in which case the task is added at the
     head of the ready queue for its new active priority.

6/2
   * When the setting of the base priority of a running task takes
     effect, the task is added to the tail of the ready queue for its
     active priority.

7/2
   * When a task executes a delay_statement that does not result in
     blocking, it is added to the tail of the ready queue for its active
     priority.

7.a/2
          Ramification: If the delay does result in blocking, the task
          moves to the "delay queue", not to the ready queue.

8/2
{<AI95-00321-01AI95-00321-01>} Each of the events specified above is a
task dispatching point (see *note D.2.1::).

9/2
{<AI95-00321-01AI95-00321-01>} A task dispatching point occurs for the
currently running task of a processor whenever there is a nonempty ready
queue for that processor with a higher priority than the priority of the
running task.  The currently running task is said to be <preempted> and
it is added at the head of the ready queue for its active priority.

                     _Implementation Requirements_

10/2
{<AI95-00333-01AI95-00333-01>} An implementation shall allow, for a
single partition, both the task dispatching policy to be specified as
FIFO_Within_Priorities and also the locking policy (see *note D.3::) to
be specified as Ceiling_Locking.

10.a/2
          Reason: This is the preferred combination of the
          FIFO_Within_Priorities policy with a locking policy, and we
          want that combination to be portable.

                     _Documentation Requirements_

11/2
{<AI95-00321-01AI95-00321-01>} <Priority inversion> is the duration for
which a task remains at the head of the highest priority nonempty ready
queue while the processor executes a lower priority task.  The
implementation shall document:

12/2
   * The maximum priority inversion a user task can experience due to
     activity of the implementation (on behalf of lower priority tasks),
     and

12.a/2
          Documentation Requirement: The maximum priority inversion a
          user task can experience from the implementation.

13/2
   * whether execution of a task can be preempted by the implementation
     processing of delay expirations for lower priority tasks, and if
     so, for how long.

13.a/2
          Documentation Requirement: The amount of time that a task can
          be preempted for processing on behalf of lower-priority tasks.

     NOTES

14/2
     14  {<AI95-00321-01AI95-00321-01>} If the active priority of a
     running task is lowered due to loss of inherited priority (as it is
     on completion of a protected operation) and there is a ready task
     of the same active priority that is not running, the running task
     continues to run (provided that there is no higher priority task).

15/2
     15  {<AI95-00321-01AI95-00321-01>} Setting the base priority of a
     ready task causes the task to move to the tail of the queue for its
     active priority, regardless of whether the active priority of the
     task actually changes.

D.2.4 Non-Preemptive Dispatching
--------------------------------

1/3
{<AI95-00298-01AI95-00298-01>} {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} [This
subclause defines a non-preemptive task dispatching policy.]

                          _Static Semantics_

2/2
{<AI95-00298-01AI95-00298-01>} {<AI95-00355-01AI95-00355-01>} The
<policy_>identifier Non_Preemptive_FIFO_Within_Priorities is a task
dispatching policy.

2.1/3
{<AI05-0166-1AI05-0166-1>} The following language-defined library
package exists:

2.2/3
     package Ada.Dispatching.Non_Preemptive is
       pragma Preelaborate(Non_Preemptive);
       procedure Yield_To_Higher;
       procedure Yield_To_Same_Or_Higher renames Yield;
     end Ada.Dispatching.Non_Preemptive;

2.3/3
{<AI05-0166-1AI05-0166-1>} {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} A call of
Yield_To_Higher is a task dispatching point for this policy.  If the
task at the head of the highest priority ready queue has a higher active
priority than the calling task, then the calling task is preempted.

2.a/3
          Ramification: For language-defined policies other than
          Non_Preemptive_FIFO_Within_Priorities, a higher priority task
          should never be on a ready queue while a lower priority task
          is executed.  Thus, for such policies, Yield_To_Higher does
          nothing.

2.b/3
          Yield_To_Higher is <not> a potentially blocking operation; it
          can be used during a protected operation.  That is allowed, as
          under the predefined Ceiling_Locking policy any task with a
          higher priority than the protected operation cannot call the
          operation (that would violate the locking policy).  An
          implementation-defined locking policy may need to define the
          semantics of Yield_To_Higher differently.

                           _Legality Rules_

3/2
{<AI95-00355-01AI95-00355-01>} Non_Preemptive_FIFO_Within_Priorities
shall not be specified as the <policy_>identifier of pragma
Priority_Specific_Dispatching (see *note D.2.2::).

3.a/2
          Reason: The non-preemptive nature of this policy could cause
          the policies of higher priority tasks to malfunction, missing
          deadlines and having unlimited priority inversion.  That would
          render the use of such policies impotent and misleading.  As
          such, this policy only makes sense for a complete system.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

4/2
{<AI95-00298-01AI95-00298-01>} When
Non_Preemptive_FIFO_Within_Priorities is in effect, modifications to the
ready queues occur only as follows:

5/2
   * {<AI95-00298-01AI95-00298-01>} When a blocked task becomes ready,
     it is added at the tail of the ready queue for its active priority.

6/2
   * When the active priority of a ready task that is not running
     changes, or the setting of its base priority takes effect, the task
     is removed from the ready queue for its old active priority and is
     added at the tail of the ready queue for its new active priority.

7/2
   * When the setting of the base priority of a running task takes
     effect, the task is added to the tail of the ready queue for its
     active priority.

8/2
   * When a task executes a delay_statement that does not result in
     blocking, it is added to the tail of the ready queue for its active
     priority.

8.a/2
          Ramification: If the delay does result in blocking, the task
          moves to the "delay queue", not to the ready queue.

9/3
{<AI05-0166-1AI05-0166-1>} For this policy, blocking or termination of a
task, a delay_statement, a call to Yield_To_Higher, and a call to
Yield_To_Same_Or_Higher or Yield are the only task dispatching points
(see *note D.2.1::).  

9.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0166-1AI05-0166-1>} A delay_statement is
          always a task dispatching point even if it is not blocking.
          Similarly, a call to Yield_To_Higher is never blocking, but it
          is a task dispatching point In each of these cases, they can
          cause the current task to stop running (it is still ready).
          Otherwise, the running task continues to run until it is
          blocked.

                     _Implementation Requirements_

10/2
{<AI95-00333-01AI95-00333-01>} An implementation shall allow, for a
single partition, both the task dispatching policy to be specified as
Non_Preemptive_FIFO_Within_Priorities and also the locking policy (see
*note D.3::) to be specified as Ceiling_Locking.

10.a/2
          Reason: This is the preferred combination of the
          Non_Preemptive_FIFO_Within_Priorities policy with a locking
          policy, and we want that combination to be portable.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

11/3
{<AI95-00298-01AI95-00298-01>} {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>}
{<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>} Since implementations are allowed to round
all ceiling priorities in subrange System.Priority to
System.Priority'Last (see *note D.3::), an implementation may allow a
task of a partition using the Non_Premptive_FIFO_Within_Priorities
policy to execute within a protected object without raising its active
priority provided the associated protected unit does not contain any
subprograms with aspects Interrupt_Handler or Attach_Handler specified,
nor does the unit have aspect Interrupt_Priority specified.  When the
locking policy (see *note D.3::) is Ceiling_Locking, an implementation
taking advantage of this permission shall ensure that a call to
Yield_to_Higher that occurs within a protected action uses the ceiling
priority of the protected object (rather than the active priority of the
task) when determining whether to preempt the task.

11.a.1/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>} We explicitly require that
          the ceiling priority be used in calls to Yield_to_Higher in
          order to prevent a risk of priority inversion and consequent
          loss of mutual exclusion when Yield_to_Higher is used in a
          protected object.  This requirement might lessen the value of
          the permission (as the current Ceiling_Priority will have to
          be maintained in the TCB), but loss of mutual exclusion cannot
          be tolerated.  The primary benefit of the permission
          (eliminating the need for preemption at the end of a protected
          action) is still available.  As noted above, an
          implementation-defined locking policy will need to specify the
          semantics of Yield_to_Higher, including this case.

10/2
{<AI95-00355-01AI95-00355-01>} For Round_Robin_Within_Priorities, the
dispatching rules for FIFO_Within_Priorities apply with the following
additional rules:

11/2
   * When a task is added or moved to the tail of the ready queue for
     its base priority, it has an execution time budget equal to the
     quantum for that priority level.  This will also occur when a
     blocked task becomes executable again.

12/2
   * When a task is preempted (by a higher priority task) and is added
     to the head of the ready queue for its priority level, it retains
     its remaining budget.

13/2
   * While a task is executing, its budget is decreased by the amount of
     execution time it uses.  The accuracy of this accounting is the
     same as that for execution time clocks (see *note D.14::).

13.a/2
          Ramification: Note that this happens even when the task is
          executing at a higher, inherited priority, and even if that
          higher priority is dispatched by a different policy than round
          robin.

14/2
   * When a task has exhausted its budget and is without an inherited
     priority (and is not executing within a protected operation), it is
     moved to the tail of the ready queue for its priority level.  This
     is a task dispatching point.

14.a/2
          Ramification: In this case, it will be given a budget as
          described in the first bullet.

14.b/2
          The rules for FIFO_Within_Priority (to which these bullets are
          added) say that a task that has its base priority set to a
          Round Robin priority is moved to the tail of the ready queue
          for its new priority level, and then will be given a budget as
          described in the first bullet.  That happens whether or not
          the task's original base priority was a Round Robin priority.

defines Earliest Deadline First (EDF) dispatching.  An aspect is defined
to assign an initial deadline to a task.

2.a/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} This aspect is the only
          way of assigning an initial deadline to a task so that its
          activation can be controlled by EDF scheduling.  This is
          similar to the way aspect Priority is used to give an initial
          priority to a task.

                     _Language Design Principles_

2.b/3
          {<AI95-00357-01AI95-00357-01>} {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} To
          predict the behavior of a multi-tasking program it is
          necessary to control access to the processor which is
          preemptive, and shared objects which are usually
          non-preemptive and embodied in protected objects.  Two common
          dispatching policies for the processor are fixed priority and
          EDF. The most effective control over shared objects is via
          preemption levels.  With a pure priority scheme a single
          notion of priority is used for processor dispatching and
          preemption levels.  With EDF and similar schemes priority is
          used for preemption levels (only), with another measure used
          for dispatching.  T.P. Baker showed (<Real-Time Systems>,
          March 1991, vol.  3, num.  1, <Stack-Based Scheduling of
          Realtime Processes>) that for EDF a newly released task should
          only preempt the currently running task if it has an earlier
          deadline and a higher preemption level than any currently
          "locked" protected object.  The rules of this subclause
          implement this scheme including the case where the newly
          released task should execute before some existing tasks but
          not preempt the currently executing task.

7/2
{<AI95-00357-01AI95-00357-01>} The <policy_>identifier
EDF_Across_Priorities is a task dispatching policy.

8/2
{<AI95-00357-01AI95-00357-01>} The following language-defined library
package exists:

9/2
     with Ada.Real_Time;
     with Ada.Task_Identification;
     package Ada.Dispatching.EDF is
       subtype Deadline is Ada.Real_Time.Time;
       Default_Deadline : constant Deadline :=
                   Ada.Real_Time.Time_Last;
       procedure Set_Deadline (D : in Deadline;
                   T : in Ada.Task_Identification.Task_Id :=
                   Ada.Task_Identification.Current_Task);
       procedure Delay_Until_And_Set_Deadline (
                   Delay_Until_Time : in Ada.Real_Time.Time;
                   Deadline_Offset : in Ada.Real_Time.Time_Span);
       function Get_Deadline (T : Ada.Task_Identification.Task_Id :=
                   Ada.Task_Identification.Current_Task) return Deadline;
     end Ada.Dispatching.EDF;

9.1/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} For a task type (including the anonymous type
of a single_task_declaration) or subprogram, the following
language-defined representation aspect may be specified:

9.2/3
Relative_Deadline
               The aspect Relative_Deadline is an expression, which
               shall be of type Real_Time.Time_Span.

9.a/3
          Aspect Description for Relative_Deadline: Task parameter used
          in Earliest Deadline First Dispatching.

                           _Legality Rules_

9.3/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} The Relative_Deadline aspect shall not be
specified on a task interface type.

                       _Post-Compilation Rules_

10/2
{<AI95-00357-01AI95-00357-01>} If the EDF_Across_Priorities policy is
specified for a partition, then the Ceiling_Locking policy (see *note
D.3::) shall also be specified for the partition.

11/2
{<AI95-00357-01AI95-00357-01>} If the EDF_Across_Priorities policy
appears in a Priority_Specific_Dispatching pragma (see *note D.2.2::) in
a partition, then the Ceiling_Locking policy (see *note D.3::) shall
also be specified for the partition.

11.a/2
          Reason: Unlike the other language-defined dispatching
          policies, the semantic description of EDF_Across_Priorities
          assumes Ceiling_Locking (and a ceiling priority) in order to
          make the mapping between deadlines and priorities work.  Thus,
          we require both policies to be specified if EDF is used in the
          partition.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

12/3
{<AI95-00357-01AI95-00357-01>} {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} The
Relative_Deadline aspect has no effect if it is specified for a
subprogram other than the main subprogram.

13/3
{<AI95-00357-01AI95-00357-01>} {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} The initial
absolute deadline of a task for which aspect Relative_Deadline is
specified is the value of Real_Time.Clock + the expression that is the
value of the aspect, where this entire expression, including the call of
Real_Time.Clock, is evaluated between task creation and the start of its
activation.  If the aspect Relative_Deadline is not specified, then the
initial absolute deadline of a task is the value of Default_Deadline.
The environment task is also given an initial deadline by this rule,
using the value of the Relative_Deadline aspect of the main subprogram
(if any).

13.a/2
          Proof: The environment task is a normal task by *note 10.2::,
          so of course this rule applies to it.

14/2
{<AI95-00357-01AI95-00357-01>} The procedure Set_Deadline changes the
absolute deadline of the task to D. The function Get_Deadline returns
the absolute deadline of the task.

15/2
{<AI95-00357-01AI95-00357-01>} The procedure
Delay_Until_And_Set_Deadline delays the calling task until time
Delay_Until_Time.  When the task becomes runnable again it will have
deadline Delay_Until_Time + Deadline_Offset.

16/2
{<AI95-00357-01AI95-00357-01>} On a system with a single processor, the
setting of the deadline of a task to the new value occurs immediately at
the first point that is outside the execution of a protected action.  If
the task is currently on a ready queue it is removed and re-entered on
to the ready queue determined by the rules defined below.

17/2
{<AI95-00357-01AI95-00357-01>} When EDF_Across_Priorities is specified
for priority range <Low>..<High> all ready queues in this range are
ordered by deadline.  The task at the head of a queue is the one with
the earliest deadline.

18/2
{<AI95-00357-01AI95-00357-01>} A task dispatching point occurs for the
currently running task <T> to which policy EDF_Across_Priorities
applies:

19/2
   * when a change to the deadline of <T> occurs;

20/2
   * there is a task on the ready queue for the active priority of <T>
     with a deadline earlier than the deadline of <T>; or

21/2
   * there is a nonempty ready queue for that processor with a higher
     priority than the active priority of the running task.

22/2
In these cases, the currently running task is said to be preempted and
is returned to the ready queue for its active priority.

23/2
{<AI95-00357-01AI95-00357-01>} For a task <T> to which policy
EDF_Across_Priorities applies, the base priority is not a source of
priority inheritance; the active priority when first activated or while
it is blocked is defined as the maximum of the following:

24/2
   * the lowest priority in the range specified as EDF_Across_Priorities
     that includes the base priority of <T>;

25/2
   * the priorities, if any, currently inherited by <T>;

26/3
   * {<AI05-0055-1AI05-0055-1>} the highest priority <P>, if any, less
     than the base priority of <T> such that one or more tasks are
     executing within a protected object with ceiling priority <P> and
     task <T> has an earlier deadline than all such tasks; and
     furthermore <T> has an earlier deadline than all other tasks on
     ready queues with priorities in the given EDF_Across_Priorities
     range that are strictly less than <P>.

26.a/2
          Ramification: The active priority of <T> might be lower than
          its base priority.

27/2
{<AI95-00357-01AI95-00357-01>} When a task <T> is first activated or
becomes unblocked, it is added to the ready queue corresponding to this
active priority.  Until it becomes blocked again, the active priority of
<T> remains no less than this value; it will exceed this value only
while it is inheriting a higher priority.

27.a/2
          Discussion: These rules ensure that a task executing in a
          protected object is preempted only by a task with a shorter
          deadline and a higher base priority.  This matches the
          traditional preemption level description without the need to
          define a new kind of protected object locking.

28/2
{<AI95-00357-01AI95-00357-01>} When the setting of the base priority of
a ready task takes effect and the new priority is in a range specified
as EDF_Across_Priorities, the task is added to the ready queue
corresponding to its new active priority, as determined above.

29/2
{<AI95-00357-01AI95-00357-01>} For all the operations defined in
Dispatching.EDF, Tasking_Error is raised if the task identified by T has
terminated.  Program_Error is raised if the value of T is Null_Task_Id.

                      _Bounded (Run-Time) Errors_

30/2
{<AI95-00357-01AI95-00357-01>} If EDF_Across_Priorities is specified for
priority range <Low>..<High>, it is a bounded error to declare a
protected object with ceiling priority <Low> or to assign the value
<Low> to attribute 'Priority.  In either case either Program_Error is
raised or the ceiling of the protected object is assigned the value
<Low>+1.

                         _Erroneous Execution_

31/2
{<AI95-00357-01AI95-00357-01>} If a value of Task_Id is passed as a
parameter to any of the subprograms of this package and the
corresponding task object no longer exists, the execution of the program
is erroneous.

                     _Documentation Requirements_

32/2
{<AI95-00357-01AI95-00357-01>} On a multiprocessor, the implementation
shall document any conditions that cause the completion of the setting
of the deadline of a task to be delayed later than what is specified for
a single processor.

32.a.1/2
          Documentation Requirement: Any conditions that cause the
          completion of the setting of the deadline of a task to be
          delayed for a multiprocessor.

     two adjacent priority ranges, <A>..<B> and <B>+1..<C> are specified

     to this policy being specified for the single range, <A>..<C>.

34/2

D.3 Priority Ceiling Locking
============================

1/3
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} [This subclause specifies the interactions
between priority task scheduling and protected object ceilings.  This
interaction is based on the concept of the <ceiling priority> of a
protected object.]

                               _Syntax_

2
     The form of a pragma Locking_Policy is as follows:

3
       pragma Locking_Policy(<policy_>identifier);

                           _Legality Rules_

4
The <policy_>identifier shall either be Ceiling_Locking or an
implementation-defined identifier.

4.a
          Implementation defined: Implementation-defined <policy_>
          identifiers allowed in a pragma Locking_Policy.

                       _Post-Compilation Rules_

5
A Locking_Policy pragma is a configuration pragma.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

6/2
{<8652/00738652/0073>} {<AI95-00091-01AI95-00091-01>}
{<AI95-00327-01AI95-00327-01>} [A locking policy specifies the details
of protected object locking.  All protected objects have a priority.
The locking policy specifies the meaning of the priority of a protected
object, and the relationships between these priorities and task
priorities.  In addition, the policy specifies the state of a task when
it executes a protected action, and how its active priority is affected
by the locking.]  The <locking policy> is specified by a Locking_Policy
pragma.  For implementation-defined locking policies, the meaning of the
priority of a protected object is implementation defined.  If no
Locking_Policy pragma applies to any of the program units comprising a
partition, the locking policy for that partition, as well as the meaning
of the priority of a protected object, are implementation defined.  

6.a/2
          Implementation defined: The locking policy if no
          Locking_Policy pragma applies to any unit of a partition.

6.1/3
{<AI95-00327-01AI95-00327-01>} {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} The expression
specified for the Priority or Interrupt_Priority aspect (see *note
D.1::) is evaluated as part of the creation of the corresponding
protected object and converted to the subtype System.Any_Priority or
System.Interrupt_Priority, respectively.  The value of the expression is
the initial priority of the corresponding protected object.  If no
Priority or Interrupt_Priority aspect is specified for a protected
object, the initial priority is specified by the locking policy.  

7
There is one predefined locking policy, Ceiling_Locking; this policy is
defined as follows:

8/3
   * {<AI95-00327-01AI95-00327-01>} {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} Every
     protected object has a <ceiling priority>, which is determined by
     either a Priority or Interrupt_Priority aspect as defined in *note
     D.1::, or by assignment to the Priority attribute as described in
     *note D.5.2::.  The ceiling priority of a protected object (or
     ceiling, for short) is an upper bound on the active priority a task
     can have when it calls protected operations of that protected
     object.

9/2
   * {<AI95-00327-01AI95-00327-01>} The initial ceiling priority of a
     protected object is equal to the initial priority for that object.

10/4
   * {<AI95-00327-01AI95-00327-01>} {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>}
     {<AI12-0051-1AI12-0051-1>} If an Interrupt_Handler or
     Attach_Handler aspect (see *note C.3.1::) is specified for a
     protected subprogram of a protected type that does not have either
     the Priority or Interrupt_Priority aspect specified, the initial
     priority of protected objects of that type is implementation
     defined, but in the range of the subtype System.Interrupt_Priority.

10.a
          Implementation defined: Default ceiling priorities.

11/3
   * {<AI95-00327-01AI95-00327-01>} {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} If
     neither aspect Priority nor Interrupt_Priority is specified for a
     protected type, and no protected subprogram of the type has aspect
     Interrupt_Handler or Attach_Handler specified, then the initial
     priority of the corresponding protected object is
     System.Priority'Last.

12
   * While a task executes a protected action, it inherits the ceiling
     priority of the corresponding protected object.

13
   * When a task calls a protected operation, a check is made that its
     active priority is not higher than the ceiling of the corresponding
     protected object; Program_Error is raised if this check fails.

                      _Bounded (Run-Time) Errors_

13.1/2
{<AI95-00327-01AI95-00327-01>} Following any change of priority, it is a
bounded error for the active priority of any task with a call queued on
an entry of a protected object to be higher than the ceiling priority of
the protected object.  In this case one of the following applies:

13.2/2
   * at any time prior to executing the entry body Program_Error is
     raised in the calling task; 

13.3/2
   * when the entry is open the entry body is executed at the ceiling
     priority of the protected object;

13.4/2
   * when the entry is open the entry body is executed at the ceiling
     priority of the protected object and then Program_Error is raised
     in the calling task; or 

13.5/2
   * when the entry is open the entry body is executed at the ceiling
     priority of the protected object that was in effect when the entry
     call was queued.

13.a.1/2
          Ramification: Note that the error is "blamed" on the task that
          did the entry call, not the task that changed the priority of
          the task or protected object.  This seems to make sense for
          the case of changing the priority of a task blocked on a call,
          since if the Set_Priority had happened a little bit sooner,
          before the task queued a call, the entry-calling task would
          get the error.  Similarly, there is no reason not to raise the
          priority of a task that is executing in an abortable_part, so
          long as its priority is lowered before it gets to the end and
          needs to cancel the call.  The priority might need to be
          lowered to allow it to remove the call from the entry queue,
          in order to avoid violating the ceiling.  This seems
          relatively harmless, since there is an error, and the task is
          about to start raising an exception anyway.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

14
The implementation is allowed to round all ceilings in a certain
subrange of System.Priority or System.Interrupt_Priority up to the top
of that subrange, uniformly.

14.a
          Discussion: For example, an implementation might use
          Priority'Last for all ceilings in Priority, and
          Interrupt_Priority'Last for all ceilings in
          Interrupt_Priority.  This would be equivalent to having two
          ceiling priorities for protected objects, "nonpreemptible" and
          "noninterruptible", and is an allowed behavior.

14.b
          Note that the implementation cannot choose a subrange that
          crosses the boundary between normal and interrupt priorities.

15/2
{<AI95-00256-01AI95-00256-01>} Implementations are allowed to define
other locking policies, but need not support more than one locking
policy per partition.

16
[Since implementations are allowed to place restrictions on code that
runs at an interrupt-level active priority (see *note C.3.1:: and *note
D.2.1::), the implementation may implement a language feature in terms
of a protected object with an implementation-defined ceiling, but the
ceiling shall be no less than Priority'Last.]

16.a
          Implementation defined: The ceiling of any protected object
          used internally by the implementation.

16.b
          Proof: This permission follows from the fact that the
          implementation can place restrictions on interrupt handlers
          and on any other code that runs at an interrupt-level active
          priority.

16.c
          The implementation might protect a storage pool with a
          protected object whose ceiling is Priority'Last, which would
          cause allocators to fail when evaluated at interrupt priority.
          Note that the ceiling of such an object has to be at least
          Priority'Last, since there is no permission for allocators to
          fail when evaluated at a noninterrupt priority.

                        _Implementation Advice_

17
The implementation should use names that end with "_Locking" for
implementation-defined locking policies.

17.a/2
          Implementation Advice: Names that end with "_Locking" should
          be used for implementation-defined locking policies.

     NOTES

18
     20  While a task executes in a protected action, it can be
     preempted only by tasks whose active priorities are higher than the
     ceiling priority of the protected object.

19
     21  If a protected object has a ceiling priority in the range of
     Interrupt_Priority, certain interrupts are blocked while protected
     actions of that object execute.  In the extreme, if the ceiling is
     Interrupt_Priority'Last, all blockable interrupts are blocked
     during that time.

20
     22  The ceiling priority of a protected object has to be in the
     Interrupt_Priority range if one of its procedures is to be used as
     an interrupt handler (see *note C.3::).

21
     23  When specifying the ceiling of a protected object, one should
     choose a value that is at least as high as the highest active
     priority at which tasks can be executing when they call protected
     operations of that object.  In determining this value the following
     factors, which can affect active priority, should be considered:
     the effect of Set_Priority, nested protected operations, entry
     calls, task activation, and other implementation-defined factors.

22
     24  Attaching a protected procedure whose ceiling is below the
     interrupt hardware priority to an interrupt causes the execution of

     25  On a single processor implementation, the ceiling priority
     rules guarantee that there is no possibility of deadlock involving
     only protected subprograms (excluding the case where a protected
     operation calls another protected operation on the same protected
     object).

23.a/2
          {<AI95-00327-01AI95-00327-01>} All protected objects now have
          a priority, which is the value of the Priority attribute of
          *note D.5.2::.  How this value is interpreted depends on the
          locking policy; for instance, the ceiling priority is derived
          from this value when the locking policy is Ceiling_Locking.

D.4 Entry Queuing Policies
==========================

1/3
{<8652/00748652/0074>} {<AI95-00068-01AI95-00068-01>}
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} [ This subclause specifies a mechanism for a
user to choose an entry <queuing policy>.  It also defines two such
policies.  Other policies are implementation defined.]

1.a
          Implementation defined: Implementation-defined queuing
          policies.

                               _Syntax_

2
     The form of a pragma Queuing_Policy is as follows:

3
       pragma Queuing_Policy(<policy_>identifier);

                           _Legality Rules_

4
The <policy_>identifier shall be either FIFO_Queuing, Priority_Queuing
or an implementation-defined identifier.

                       _Post-Compilation Rules_

5
A Queuing_Policy pragma is a configuration pragma.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

6
[A <queuing policy> governs the order in which tasks are queued for
entry service, and the order in which different entry queues are
considered for service.]  The queuing policy is specified by a
Queuing_Policy pragma.

6.a
          Ramification: The queuing policy includes entry queuing order,
          the choice among open alternatives of a selective_accept, and
          the choice among queued entry calls of a protected object when
          more than one entry_barrier condition is True.

7/2
{<AI95-00355-01AI95-00355-01>} Two queuing policies, FIFO_Queuing and
Priority_Queuing, are language defined.  If no Queuing_Policy pragma
applies to any of the program units comprising the partition, the
queuing policy for that partition is FIFO_Queuing.  The rules for this
policy are specified in *note 9.5.3:: and *note 9.7.1::.

8
The Priority_Queuing policy is defined as follows:

9
   * The calls to an entry [(including a member of an entry family)] are
     queued in an order consistent with the priorities of the calls.
     The <priority of an entry call> is initialized from the active
     priority of the calling task at the time the call is made, but can
     change later.  Within the same priority, the order is consistent
     with the calling (or requeuing, or priority setting) time (that is,
     a FIFO order).

10/1
   * {<8652/00758652/0075>} {<AI95-00205-01AI95-00205-01>} After a call
     is first queued, changes to the active priority of a task do not
     affect the priority of the call, unless the base priority of the
     task is set while the task is blocked on an entry call.

11
   * When the base priority of a task is set (see *note D.5::), if the
     task is blocked on an entry call, and the call is queued, the
     priority of the call is updated to the new active priority of the
     calling task.  This causes the call to be removed from and then
     reinserted in the queue at the new active priority.

11.a
          Reason: A task is blocked on an entry call if the entry call
          is simple, conditional, or timed.  If the call came from the
          triggering_statement of an asynchronous_select, or a requeue
          thereof, then the task is not blocked on that call; such calls
          do not have their priority updated.  Thus, there can exist
          many queued calls from a given task (caused by many nested
          ATC's), but a task can be blocked on only one call at a time.

11.b
          A previous version of Ada 9X required queue reordering in the
          asynchronous_select case as well.  If the call corresponds to
          a "synchronous" entry call, then the task is blocked while
          queued, and it makes good sense to move it up in the queue if
          its priority is raised.

11.c
          However, if the entry call is "asynchronous," that is, it is
          due to an asynchronous_select whose triggering_statement is an
          entry call, then the task is not waiting for this entry call,
          so the placement of the entry call on the queue is irrelevant
          to the rate at which the task proceeds.

11.d
          Furthermore, when an entry is used for asynchronous_selects,
          it is almost certain to be a "broadcast" entry or have only
          one caller at a time.  For example, if the entry is used to
          notify tasks of a mode switch, then all tasks on the entry
          queue would be signaled when the mode changes.  Similarly, if
          it is indicating some interrupting event such as a control-C,
          all tasks sensitive to the interrupt will want to be informed
          that the event occurred.  Hence, the order on such a queue is
          essentially irrelevant.

11.e
          Given the above, it seems an unnecessary semantic and
          implementation complexity to specify that asynchronous queued
          calls are moved in response to dynamic priority changes.
          Furthermore, it is somewhat inconsistent, since the call was
          originally queued based on the active priority of the task,
          but dynamic priority changes are changing the base priority of
          the task, and only indirectly the active priority.  We say
          explicitly that asynchronous queued calls are not affected by
          normal changes in active priority during the execution of an
          abortable_part.  Saying that, if a change in the base priority
          affects the active priority, then we do want the calls
          reordered, would be inconsistent.  It would also require the
          implementation to maintain a readily accessible list of all
          queued calls which would not otherwise be necessary.

11.f
          Several rules were removed or simplified when we changed the
          rules so that calls due to asynchronous_selects are never
          moved due to intervening changes in active priority, be they
          due to protected actions, some other priority inheritance, or
          changes in the base priority.

12
   * When more than one condition of an entry_barrier of a protected
     object becomes True, and more than one of the respective queues is
     nonempty, the call with the highest priority is selected.  If more
     than one such call has the same priority, the call that is queued
     on the entry whose declaration is first in textual order in the
     protected_definition is selected.  For members of the same entry
     family, the one with the lower family index is selected.

13
   * If the expiration time of two or more open delay_alternatives is
     the same and no other accept_alternatives are open, the
     sequence_of_statements of the delay_alternative that is first in
     textual order in the selective_accept is executed.

14
   * When more than one alternative of a selective_accept is open and
     has queued calls, an alternative whose queue has the
     highest-priority call at its head is selected.  If two or more open
     alternatives have equal-priority queued calls, then a call on the
     entry in the accept_alternative that is first in textual order in
     the selective_accept is selected.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

15/2
{<AI95-00256-01AI95-00256-01>} Implementations are allowed to define
other queuing policies, but need not support more than one queuing
policy per partition.

15.a.1/2
          Discussion: {<8652/01168652/0116>}
          {<AI95-00069-01AI95-00069-01>} {<AI95-00256-01AI95-00256-01>}
          This rule is really redundant, as *note 10.1.5:: allows an
          implementation to limit the use of configuration pragmas to an
          empty environment.  In that case, there would be no way to
          have multiple policies in a partition.

15.1/2
{<AI95-00188-02AI95-00188-02>} Implementations are allowed to defer the
reordering of entry queues following a change of base priority of a task
blocked on the entry call if it is not practical to reorder the queue
immediately.

15.a.2/2
          Reason: Priority change is immediate, but the effect of the
          change on entry queues can be deferred.  That is necessary in
          order to implement priority changes on top of a non-Ada
          kernel.

15.a.3/2
          Discussion: The reordering should occur as soon as the blocked
          task can itself perform the reinsertion into the entry queue.

                        _Implementation Advice_

16
The implementation should use names that end with "_Queuing" for
implementation-defined queuing policies.

16.a/2
          Implementation Advice: Names that end with "_Queuing" should
          be used for implementation-defined queuing policies.

          Corrigendum: Corrected so that a call of Set_Priority in an
          abortable part does not change the priority of the triggering
          entry call.

16.d/2
          {<AI95-00188-02AI95-00188-02>} Added a permission to defer
          queue reordering when the base priority of a task is changed.
          This is a counterpart to stronger requirements on the
          implementation of priority change.

16.e/2
          {<AI95-00256-01AI95-00256-01>} Clarified that an
          implementation need support only one queuing policy (of any

16.f/2
          {<AI95-00355-01AI95-00355-01>} Fixed wording to make clear
          that pragma never appears inside of a unit; rather it "applies
          to" the unit.

D.5.1 Dynamic Priorities for Tasks
----------------------------------

1/3
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} [This subclause describes how the base
priority of a task can be modified or queried at run time.]

                          _Static Semantics_

2
The following language-defined library package exists:

3/2
     {<AI95-00362-01AI95-00362-01>} with System;
     with Ada.Task_Identification; <-- See *note C.7.1::>
     package Ada.Dynamic_Priorities is
         pragma Preelaborate(Dynamic_Priorities);

4
         procedure Set_Priority(Priority : in System.Any_Priority;
                                T : in Ada.Task_Identification.Task_Id :=
                                Ada.Task_Identification.Current_Task);

5
         function Get_Priority (T : Ada.Task_Identification.Task_Id :=
                                Ada.Task_Identification.Current_Task)
                                return System.Any_Priority;

6
     end Ada.Dynamic_Priorities;

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

7
The procedure Set_Priority sets the base priority of the specified task
to the specified Priority value.  Set_Priority has no effect if the task
is terminated.

8
The function Get_Priority returns T's current base priority.
Tasking_Error is raised if the task is terminated.

8.a
          Reason: There is no harm in setting the priority of a
          terminated task.  A previous version of Ada 9X made this a
          run-time error.  However, there is little difference between
          setting the priority of a terminated task, and setting the
          priority of a task that is about to terminate very soon;
          neither case should be an error.  Furthermore, the run-time
          check is not necessarily feasible to implement on all systems,
          since priority changes might be deferred due to
          inter-processor communication overhead, so the error might not
          be detected until after Set_Priority has returned.

8.b
          However, we wish to allow implementations to avoid storing
          "extra" information about terminated tasks.  Therefore, we
          make Get_Priority of a terminated task raise an exception; the
          implementation need not continue to store the priority of a
          task that has terminated.

9
Program_Error is raised by Set_Priority and Get_Priority if T is equal
to Null_Task_Id.

10/2
{<AI95-00188-02AI95-00188-02>} On a system with a single processor, the
setting of the base priority of a task <T> to the new value occurs
immediately at the first point when <T> is outside the execution of a
protected action.

10.a/2
          Implementation Note: {<AI95-00188-02AI95-00188-02>} The
          priority change is immediate if the target task is on a delay
          queue or a ready queue outside of a protected action.
          However, consider when Set_Priority is called by a task T1 to
          set the priority of T2, if T2 is blocked, waiting on an entry
          call queued on a protected object, the entry queue needs to be
          reordered.  Since T1 might have a priority that is higher than
          the ceiling of the protected object, T1 cannot, in general, do
          the reordering.  One way to implement this is to wake T2 up
          and have T2 do the work.  This is similar to the disentangling
          of queues that needs to happen when a high-priority task
          aborts a lower-priority task, which might have a call queued
          on a protected object with a low ceiling.  We have an
          Implementation Permission in *note D.4:: to allow this
          implementation.  We could have required an immediate priority
          change if on a ready queue during a protected action, but that
          would have required extra checks for ceiling violations to
          meet Bounded (Run-Time) Error requirements of *note D.3:: and
          potentially could cause a protected action to be abandoned in
          the middle (by raising Program_Error).  That seems bad.

10.b
          Reason: A previous version of Ada 9X made it a run-time error
          for a high-priority task to set the priority of a
          lower-priority task that has a queued call on a protected
          object with a low ceiling.  This was changed because:

10.c
             * The check was not feasible to implement on all systems,
               since priority changes might be deferred due to
               inter-processor communication overhead.  The calling task
               would continue to execute without finding out whether the
               operation succeeded or not.

10.d
             * The run-time check would tend to cause intermittent
               system failures -- how is the caller supposed to know
               whether the other task happens to have a queued call at
               any given time?  Consider for example an interrupt that
               needs to trigger a priority change in some task.  The
               interrupt handler could not safely call Set_Priority
               without knowing exactly what the other task is doing, or
               without severely restricting the ceilings used in the
               system.  If the interrupt handler wants to hand the job
               off to a third task whose job is to call Set_Priority,
               this won't help, because one would normally want the
               third task to have high priority.

<Paragraph 11 was deleted.>

                         _Erroneous Execution_

12
If any subprogram in this package is called with a parameter T that
specifies a task object that no longer exists, the execution of the
program is erroneous.

12.a
          Ramification: Note that this rule overrides the above rule
          saying that Program_Error is raised on Get_Priority of a
          terminated task.  If the task object still exists, and the
          task is terminated, Get_Priority raises Program_Error.
          However, if the task object no longer exists, calling
          Get_Priority causes erroneous execution.

                     _Documentation Requirements_

12.1/2
{<AI95-00188-02AI95-00188-02>} On a multiprocessor, the implementation
shall document any conditions that cause the completion of the setting
of the priority of a task to be delayed later than what is specified for
a single processor.

12.a.1/2
          Documentation Requirement: Any conditions that cause the
          completion of the setting of the priority of a task to be
          delayed for a multiprocessor.

                               _Metrics_

13
The implementation shall document the following metric:

14
   * The execution time of a call to Set_Priority, for the nonpreempting
     case, in processor clock cycles.  This is measured for a call that
     modifies the priority of a ready task that is not running (which
     cannot be the calling one), where the new base priority of the
     affected task is lower than the active priority of the calling
     task, and the affected task is not on any entry queue and is not
     executing a protected operation.

14.a/2
          Documentation Requirement: The metrics for Set_Priority.

     NOTES

15/2
     26  {<AI95-00321-01AI95-00321-01>} Setting a task's base priority
     affects task dispatching.  First, it can change the task's active
     priority.  Second, under the FIFO_Within_Priorities policy it
     always causes the task to move to the tail of the ready queue
     corresponding to its active priority, even if the new base priority
     is unchanged.

16
     27  Under the priority queuing policy, setting a task's base
     priority has an effect on a queued entry call if the task is
     blocked waiting for the call.  That is, setting the base priority
     of a task causes the priority of a queued entry call from that task
     to be updated and the call to be removed and then reinserted in the
     entry queue at the new priority (see *note D.4::), unless the call
     originated from the triggering_statement of an asynchronous_select.

17
     28  The effect of two or more Set_Priority calls executed in
     parallel on the same task is defined as executing these calls in
     some serial order.

17.a
          Proof: This follows from the general reentrancy requirements
          stated near the beginning of *note Annex A::, "*note Annex A::
          Predefined Language Environment".

18/3
     29  {<AI05-0092-1AI05-0092-1>} The rule for when Tasking_Error is
     raised for Set_Priority or Get_Priority is different from the rule
     for when Tasking_Error is raised on an entry call (see *note
     9.5.3::).  In particular, querying the priority of a completed or
     an abnormal task is allowed, so long as the task is not yet
     terminated, and setting the priority of a task is allowed for any
     task state (including for terminated tasks).

19
     30  Changing the priorities of a set of tasks can be performed by a
     series of calls to Set_Priority for each task separately.  For this
     to work reliably, it should be done within a protected operation
     that has high enough ceiling priority to guarantee that the
     operation completes without being preempted by any of the affected
     tasks.

D.5.2 Dynamic Priorities for Protected Objects

1/3
{<AI95-00327-01AI95-00327-01>} {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} This subclause
specifies how the priority of a protected object can be modified or

2/2
{<AI95-00327-01AI95-00327-01>} The following attribute is defined for a
prefix P that denotes a protected object:

3/2
P'Priority
               {<AI95-00327-01AI95-00327-01>} Denotes a non-aliased
               component of the protected object P. This component is of
               type System.Any_Priority and its value is the priority of
               P. P'Priority denotes a variable if and only if P denotes
               a variable.  A reference to this attribute shall appear
               only within the body of P.

4/2
{<AI95-00327-01AI95-00327-01>} The initial value of this attribute is
the initial value of the priority of the protected object[, and can be

with either an Attach_Handler or Interrupt_Handler aspect specified for
one of its procedures, a check is made that the value to be assigned to
<P>'Priority is in the range System.Interrupt_Priority.  If the check
fails, Program_Error is raised.

7/2

     NOTES

11/2
     31  {<AI95-00327-01AI95-00327-01>} Since P'Priority is a normal
     variable, the value following an assignment to the attribute
     immediately reflects the new value even though its impact on the
     ceiling priority of P is postponed until completion of the
     protected action in which it is executed.

D.6 Preemptive Abort
====================

1/3
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} [This subclause specifies requirements on the
immediacy with which an aborted construct is completed.]

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

2
On a system with a single processor, an aborted construct is completed
immediately at the first point that is outside the execution of an
abort-deferred operation.

                     _Documentation Requirements_

3
On a multiprocessor, the implementation shall document any conditions
that cause the completion of an aborted construct to be delayed later
than what is specified for a single processor.

3.a/2
          <This paragraph was deleted.>

3.b/2
          Documentation Requirement: On a multiprocessor, any conditions
          that cause the completion of an aborted construct to be
          delayed later than what is specified for a single processor.

                               _Metrics_

4
The implementation shall document the following metrics:

5
   * The execution time, in processor clock cycles, that it takes for an
     abort_statement to cause the completion of the aborted task.  This
     is measured in a situation where a task T2 preempts task T1 and
     aborts T1.  T1 does not have any finalization code.  T2 shall
     verify that T1 has terminated, by means of the Terminated
     attribute.

6
   * On a multiprocessor, an upper bound in seconds, on the time that
     the completion of an aborted task can be delayed beyond the point
     that it is required for a single processor.

7/2
   * {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} An upper bound on the execution time
     of an asynchronous_select, in processor clock cycles.  This is
     measured between a point immediately before a task T1 executes a
     protected operation Pr.Set that makes the condition of an
     entry_barrier Pr.Wait True, and the point where task T2 resumes
     execution immediately after an entry call to Pr.Wait in an
     asynchronous_select.  T1 preempts T2 while T2 is executing the
     abortable part, and then blocks itself so that T2 can execute.  The
     execution time of T1 is measured separately, and subtracted.

8
   * An upper bound on the execution time of an asynchronous_select, in
     the case that no asynchronous transfer of control takes place.
     This is measured between a point immediately before a task executes
     the asynchronous_select with a nonnull abortable part, and the
     point where the task continues execution immediately after it.  The
     execution time of the abortable part is subtracted.

8.a/2
          Documentation Requirement: The metrics for aborts.

                        _Implementation Advice_

9
Even though the abort_statement is included in the list of potentially
blocking operations (see *note 9.5.1::), it is recommended that this
statement be implemented in a way that never requires the task executing
the abort_statement to block.

9.a/2
          Implementation Advice: The abort_statement should not require
          the task executing the statement to block.

10
On a multi-processor, the delay associated with aborting a task on
another processor should be bounded; the implementation should use
periodic polling, if necessary, to achieve this.

10.a/2
          Implementation Advice: On a multi-processor, the delay
          associated with aborting a task on another processor should be
          bounded.

     NOTES

11
     32  Abortion does not change the active or base priority of the
     aborted task.

12
     33  Abortion cannot be more immediate than is allowed by the rules
     for deferral of abortion during finalization and in protected
     actions.

D.7 Tasking Restrictions
========================

1/3
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} [This subclause defines restrictions that can
be used with a pragma Restrictions (see *note 13.12::) to facilitate the
construction of highly efficient tasking run-time systems.]

                          _Static Semantics_

2
The following <restriction_>identifiers are language defined:

3/3
{<AI05-0013-1AI05-0013-1>} {<AI05-0216-1AI05-0216-1>} No_Task_Hierarchy
               No task depends on a master other than the library-level
               master.

3.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0216-1AI05-0216-1>} This is equivalent to
          saying "no task depends on a master other than the master that
          is the execution of the body of the environment task of the
          partition", but it is much easier to understand.  This is a
          post-compilation check, which can be checked at compile-time.

3.b/3
          {<AI05-0013-1AI05-0013-1>} This disallows any function
          returning an object with a task part or coextension, even if
          called at the library level, as such a task would temporarily
          depend on a nested master (the master of the return
          statement), which is disallowed by this restriction.

4/3
{<8652/00428652/0042>} {<AI95-00130-01AI95-00130-01>}
{<AI95-00360-01AI95-00360-01>} {<AI05-0013-1AI05-0013-1>} 
No_Nested_Finalization
               Objects of a type that needs finalization (see *note
               7.6::) are declared only at library level.  If an access
               type does not have library-level accessibility, then
               there are no allocators of the type where the type
               determined by the subtype_mark of the subtype_indication
               or qualified_expression needs finalization.

4.a/1
          <This paragraph was deleted.>{<8652/00428652/0042>}
          {<AI95-00130-01AI95-00130-01>}

4.b/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0013-1AI05-0013-1>} The second sentence
          prevents the declaration of objects of access types which
          would require nested finalization.  It also prevents the
          declarations of coextensions that need finalization in a
          nested scope.  The latter cannot be done by preventing the
          declaration of the objects, as it is not necessarily known if
          the coextension type needs finalization (it could be a limited
          view).

5/3
{<AI05-0211-1AI05-0211-1>} No_Abort_Statements
               There are no abort_statements, and there is no use of a
               name denoting Task_Identification.Abort_Task.

6
No_Terminate_Alternatives
               There are no selective_accepts with
               terminate_alternatives.

7
No_Task_Allocators
               There are no allocators for task types or types
               containing task subcomponents.

7.1/3
               {<AI05-0224-1AI05-0224-1>} In the case of an initialized
               allocator of an access type whose designated type is
               class-wide and limited, a check is made that the specific
               type of the allocated object has no task subcomponents.
               Program_Error is raised if this check fails.

8
No_Implicit_Heap_Allocations
               There are no operations that implicitly require heap
               storage allocation to be performed by the implementation.
               The operations that implicitly require heap storage
               allocation are implementation defined.

8.a
          Implementation defined: Any operations that implicitly require
          heap storage allocation.

9/2
{<AI95-00327-01AI95-00327-01>} No_Dynamic_Priorities
               There are no semantic dependences on the package
               Dynamic_Priorities, and no occurrences of the attribute
               Priority.

{<AI05-0013-1AI05-0013-1>} {<AI05-0211-1AI05-0211-1>} 
No_Dynamic_Attachment
               There is no use of a name denoting any of the operations
               defined in package Interrupts (Is_Reserved, Is_Attached,
               Current_Handler, Attach_Handler, Exchange_Handler,
               Detach_Handler, and Reference).

10.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0013-1AI05-0013-1>} This includes 'Access
          and 'Address of any of these operations, as well as inherited
          versions of these operations.

10.1/4
{<AI12-0055-1AI12-0055-1>} No_Dynamic_CPU_Assignment
               No task has the CPU aspect specified to be a non-static
               expression.  Each task (including the environment task)
               that has the CPU aspect specified as Not_A_Specific_CPU
               will be assigned to a particular implementation-defined
               CPU. The same is true for the environment task when the
               CPU aspect is not specified.  [Any other task without a
               CPU aspect will activate and execute on the same
               processor as its activating task.]

10.b/4
          Proof: The processor of a task without a CPU aspect is defined
          in *note D.16::, and this restriction guarantees that the
          activator always has a CPU assigned.

10.c/4
          Reason: This restriction prevents any migration of tasks.

10.d/4
          Ramification: If no CPU aspects are specified, then the
          program will run on a single CPU, as all of the tasks will be
          activated directly or indirectly by the environment task, and
          the rules require the same CPU to be used as the activating
          task.

10.d.1/4
          Implementation defined: When restriction
          No_Dynamic_CPU_Assignment applies to a partition, the
          processor on which a task with a CPU value of a
          Not_A_Specific_CPU will execute.

{<AI95-00305-01AI95-00305-01>} {<AI05-0013-1AI05-0013-1>} 
No_Local_Protected_Objects
               Protected objects are declared only at library level.

10.4/2
{<AI95-00305-01AI95-00305-01>} No_Protected_Type_Allocators
               There are no allocators for protected types or types
               containing protected type subcomponents.

10.5/3
               {<AI05-0224-1AI05-0224-1>} In the case of an initialized
               allocator of an access type whose designated type is
               class-wide and limited, a check is made that the specific
               type of the allocated object has no protected
               subcomponents.  Program_Error is raised if this check
               fails.

10.6/3

No_Relative_Delay
               There are no delay_relative_statements, and there is no
               use of a name that denotes the Timing_Events.Set_Handler
               subprogram that has a Time_Span parameter.

10.7/3

No_Specific_Termination_Handlers
               There is no use of a name denoting the

10.10/4
{<AI12-0117-1AI12-0117-1>} No_Tasks_Unassigned_To_CPU
               The CPU aspect is specified for the environment task.  No
               CPU aspect is specified to be statically equal to
               Not_A_Specific_CPU. If aspect CPU is specified
               (dynamically) to the value Not_A_Specific_CPU, then
               Program_Error is raised.  If Set_CPU or
               Delay_Until_And_Set_CPU are called with the CPU parameter
               equal to Not_A_Specific_CPU, then Program_Error is
               raised.

10.e/4
          Ramification: If this restriction is used in a context for
          which restriction No_Dynamic_CPU_Assignment is in effect, then
          no runtime check is needed when specifying the CPU aspect.  If
          the restriction is used with the Ravenscar profile, no runtime
          checks are needed.

               set for the partition it should be called when the first
               task attempts to terminate.

15.a.1/2
          Implementation defined: When restriction No_Task_Termination
          applies to a partition, what happens when a task terminates.

16
The following <restriction_parameter_>identifiers are language defined:

17/1
{<8652/00768652/0076>} {<AI95-00067-01AI95-00067-01>} 
Max_Storage_At_Blocking
               Specifies the maximum portion [(in storage elements)] of
               a task's Storage_Size that can be retained by a blocked
               task.  If an implementation chooses to detect a violation
               of this restriction, Storage_Error should be raised; 
               otherwise, the behavior is implementation defined.

17.a.1/2
          Implementation defined: The behavior when restriction
          Max_Storage_At_Blocking is violated.

18/1
{<8652/00768652/0076>} {<AI95-00067-01AI95-00067-01>} 
Max_Asynchronous_Select_Nesting
               Specifies the maximum dynamic nesting level of
               asynchronous_selects.  A value of zero prevents the use
               of any asynchronous_select (*note 9.7.4: S0241.) and, if
               a program contains an asynchronous_select (*note 9.7.4:
               S0241.), it is illegal.  If an implementation chooses to
               detect a violation of this restriction for values other
               than zero, Storage_Error should be raised; otherwise, the
               behavior is implementation defined.

18.a.1/2
          Implementation defined: The behavior when restriction
          Max_Asynchronous_Select_Nesting is violated.

19/1
{<8652/00768652/0076>} {<AI95-00067-01AI95-00067-01>} Max_Tasks
               Specifies the maximum number of task creations that may
               be executed over the lifetime of a partition, not
               counting the creation of the environment task.  A value
               of zero prevents any task creation and, if a program
               contains a task creation, it is illegal.  If an
               implementation chooses to detect a violation of this
               restriction, Storage_Error should be raised; otherwise,
               the behavior is implementation defined.

19.a
          Ramification: Note that this is not a limit on the number of
          tasks active at a given time; it is a limit on the total
          number of task creations that occur.

19.b
          Implementation Note: We envision an implementation approach
          that places TCBs or pointers to them in a fixed-size table,
          and never reuses table elements.

19.b.1/2
          Implementation defined: The behavior when restriction
          Max_Tasks is violated.

19.1/2
{<AI95-00305-01AI95-00305-01>} Max_Entry_Queue_Length
               Max_Entry_Queue_Length defines the maximum number of
               calls that are queued on an entry.  Violation of this
               restriction results in the raising of Program_Error at
               the point of the call or requeue.

19.2/3
{<AI05-0189-1AI05-0189-1>} No_Standard_Allocators_After_Elaboration
               Specifies that an allocator using a standard storage pool
               (see *note 13.11::) shall not occur within a
               parameterless library subprogram, nor within the
               handled_sequence_of_statements of a task body.  For the
               purposes of this rule, an allocator of a type derived
               from a formal access type does not use a standard storage
               pool.

19.3/3
               {<AI05-0189-1AI05-0189-1>} {<AI05-0262-1AI05-0262-1>} At
               run time, Storage_Error is raised if an allocator using a
               standard storage pool is evaluated after the elaboration
               of the library_items of the partition has completed.

20
It is implementation defined whether the use of pragma Restrictions
results in a reduction in executable program size, storage requirements,
or execution time.  If possible, the implementation should provide
quantitative descriptions of such effects for each restriction.

20.a/2
          Implementation defined: Whether the use of pragma Restrictions
          results in a reduction in program code or data size or
          execution time.

                        _Implementation Advice_

21
When feasible, the implementation should take advantage of the specified
restrictions to produce a more efficient implementation.

21.a/2
          Implementation Advice: When feasible, specified restrictions
          should be used to produce a more efficient implementation.

     NOTES

22
     34  The above Storage_Checks can be suppressed with pragma
     Suppress.

22.a/2
          {<AI95-00360-01AI95-00360-01>} Amendment Correction: The
          No_Nested_Finalization is now defined in terms of types that
          need finalization.  These types include a variety of
          language-defined types that <might> be implemented with a
          controlled type.  If the restriction No_Nested_Finalization
          (see *note D.7::) applies to the partition, and one of these
          language-defined types does not have a controlled part, it
          will not be allowed in local objects in Ada 2005 whereas it
          would be allowed in original Ada 95.  Such code is not
          portable, as other Ada compilers may have had a controlled
          part, and thus would be illegal under the restriction.

          Corrigendum: Clarified that No_Nested_Finalization covered
          task and protected parts as well.

22.d/2
          {<8652/00768652/0076>} {<AI95-00067-01AI95-00067-01>}
          Corrigendum: Changed the description of Max_Tasks and
          Max_Asynchronous_Select_Nested to eliminate conflicts with the
          High Integrity Annex (see *note H.4::).

22.e/2
          {<AI95-00327-01AI95-00327-01>} Added using of the new Priority

22.f/2
          {<AI95-00394-01AI95-00394-01>} Restriction
          No_Asynchronous_Control is now obsolescent.

                   _Incompatibilities With Ada 2005_

22.g/3
          {<AI05-0013-1AI05-0013-1>} Correction: Changed so that
          coextensions of types that require nested finalization are
          also prohibited; this is done by prohibiting allocators rather
          than objects of specific access types.  It seems unlikely that
          any program depending on this restriction would violate it in
          this blatant manner, so it is expected that very few programs
          will be affected by this change.

22.h/3
          {<AI05-0211-1AI05-0211-1>} Correction: The restriction
          No_Relative_Delay was changed to include the Timing_Events
          routine that uses a relative delay.  This means that a program
          that uses that routine and this restriction will now be
          rejected.  However, such a program violates the spirit and
          intent of the restriction and as such the program should never
          have been allowed.  Moreover, it is unlikely that any program
          depending on this restriction would violate it in such an
          obvious manner, so it is expected that very few programs will
          be affected by this change.

22.i/3
          {<AI05-0211-1AI05-0211-1>} Correction: A number of
          restrictions were changed from "no calls" on some subprogram
          to "no use of a name that denotes" that subprogram.  This
          closes a hole where renames, uses as the prefix of 'Access,
          and the like, would not be rejected by the restriction,
          possibly allowing backdoor access to the prohibited
          subprogram.  A program that uses one of these restrictions and
          using such backdoor access will now be rejected; however, it
          is extremely unlikely that any program that relies on these
          restrictions would also use an end-run around the restriction,
          so it is expected that very few programs will be affected by
          this change.

          {<AI05-0189-1AI05-0189-1>} Restriction
          No_Standard_Allocators_After_Elaboration is newly added to
          Ada.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

22.k/3
          {<AI05-0013-1AI05-0013-1>} {<AI05-0216-1AI05-0216-1>}
          Correction: Improved the wording of various restrictions to
          make it clearer that they prohibit things that would otherwise
          be legal, and to word them as definitions, not Legality
          Rules;.

22.l/3
          {<AI05-0192-1AI05-0192-1>} Correction: Added wording to
          explain how No_Task_Allocators and
          No_Protected_Type_Allocators are checked for class-wide types.
          This might be an extension if the compiler assumed the worst
          in the past (it is now a runtime check).

                       _Extensions to Ada 2012_

22.m/4
          {<AI12-0055-1AI12-0055-1>} Corrigendum: Restriction
          No_Dynamic_CPU_Assignment is newly added to Ada, for use as
          part of the Ravenscar profile (see *note D.13::).

22.n/4
          {<AI12-0117-1AI12-0117-1>} Corrigendum: Restriction
          No_Tasks_Unassigned_To_CPU is newly added to Ada; it ensures
          that no task is running on an implementation-defined CPU so
          that task scheduling can be analyzed.

       function Time_Of(SC : Seconds_Count; TS : Time_Span) return Time;

17
     private
        ... -- <not specified by the language>
     end Ada.Real_Time;

17.a/2
          <This paragraph was deleted.>

18
In this Annex, <real time> is defined to be the physical time as
observed in the external environment.  The type Time is a <time type> as
defined by *note 9.6::; [values of this type may be used in a
delay_until_statement.]  Values of this type represent segments of an
ideal time line.  The set of values of the type Time corresponds
one-to-one with an implementation-defined range of mathematical
integers.

18.a
          Discussion: Informally, real time is defined to be the
          International Atomic Time (TAI) which is monotonic and
          nondecreasing.  We use it here for the purpose of discussing
          rate of change and monotonic behavior only.  It does not imply
          anything about the absolute value of Real_Time.Clock, or about
          Real_Time.Time being synchronized with TAI. It is also used
          for real time in the metrics, for comparison purposes.

18.b
          Implementation Note: The specification of TAI as "real time"
          does not preclude the use of a simulated TAI clock for
          simulated execution environments.

19
The Time value I represents the half-open real time interval that starts
with E+I*Time_Unit and is limited by E+(I+1)*Time_Unit, where Time_Unit
is an implementation-defined real number and E is an unspecified origin
point, the <epoch>, that is the same for all values of the type Time.
It is not specified by the language whether the time values are
synchronized with any standard time reference.  [For example, E can
correspond to the time of system initialization or it can correspond to
the epoch of some time standard.]

19.a
          Discussion: E itself does not have to be a proper time value.

19.b
          This half-open interval I consists of all real numbers R such
          that E+I*Time_Unit <= R < E+(I+1)*Time_Unit.

20
Values of the type Time_Span represent length of real time duration.
The set of values of this type corresponds one-to-one with an
implementation-defined range of mathematical integers.  The Time_Span
value corresponding to the integer I represents the real-time duration
I*Time_Unit.

20.a
          Reason: The purpose of this type is similar to
          Standard.Duration; the idea is to have a type with a higher
          resolution.

20.b
          Discussion: We looked at many possible names for this type:
          Real_Time.Duration, Fine_Duration, Interval,
          Time_Interval_Length, Time_Measure, and more.  Each of these
          names had some problems, and we've finally settled for
          Time_Span.

21
Time_First and Time_Last are the smallest and largest values of the Time
type, respectively.  Similarly, Time_Span_First and Time_Span_Last are
the smallest and largest values of the Time_Span type, respectively.

22
A value of type Seconds_Count represents an elapsed time, measured in
seconds, since the epoch.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

23
Time_Unit is the smallest amount of real time representable by the Time
type; it is expressed in seconds.  Time_Span_Unit is the difference
between two successive values of the Time type.  It is also the smallest
positive value of type Time_Span.  Time_Unit and Time_Span_Unit
represent the same real time duration.  A <clock tick> is a real time
interval during which the clock value (as observed by calling the Clock
function) remains constant.  Tick is the average length of such
intervals.

24/2
{<AI95-00432-01AI95-00432-01>} The function To_Duration converts the
value TS to a value of type Duration.  Similarly, the function
To_Time_Span converts the value D to a value of type Time_Span.  For
To_Duration, the result is rounded to the nearest value of type Duration
(away from zero if exactly halfway between two values).  If the result
is outside the range of Duration, Constraint_Error is raised.  For
To_Time_Span, the value of D is first rounded to the nearest integral
multiple of Time_Unit, away from zero if exactly halfway between two
multiples.  If the rounded value is outside the range of Time_Span,
Constraint_Error is raised.  Otherwise, the value is converted to the
type Time_Span.

25
To_Duration(Time_Span_Zero) returns 0.0, and To_Time_Span(0.0) returns
Time_Span_Zero.

26/2
{<AI95-00386-01AI95-00386-01>} {<AI95-00432-01AI95-00432-01>} The
functions Nanoseconds, Microseconds, Milliseconds, Seconds, and Minutes
convert the input parameter to a value of the type Time_Span.  NS, US,
MS, S, and M are interpreted as a number of nanoseconds, microseconds,
milliseconds, seconds, and minutes respectively.  The input parameter is
first converted to seconds and rounded to the nearest integral multiple
of Time_Unit, away from zero if exactly halfway between two multiples.
If the rounded value is outside the range of Time_Span, Constraint_Error
is raised.  Otherwise, the rounded value is converted to the type
Time_Span.

26.a/2
          <This paragraph was deleted.>{<AI95-00432-01AI95-00432-01>}

27
The effects of the operators on Time and Time_Span are as for the
operators defined for integer types.

27.a
          Implementation Note: Though time values are modeled by
          integers, the types Time and Time_Span need not be implemented
          as integers.

28
The function Clock returns the amount of time since the epoch.

29
The effects of the Split and Time_Of operations are defined as follows,
treating values of type Time, Time_Span, and Seconds_Count as
mathematical integers.  The effect of Split(T,SC,TS) is to set SC and TS
to values such that T*Time_Unit = SC*1.0 + TS*Time_Unit, and 0.0 <=
TS*Time_Unit < 1.0.  The value returned by Time_Of(SC,TS) is the value T
such that T*Time_Unit = SC*1.0 + TS*Time_Unit.

                     _Implementation Requirements_

30
The range of Time values shall be sufficient to uniquely represent the
range of real times from program start-up to 50 years later.  Tick shall
be no greater than 1 millisecond.  Time_Unit shall be less than or equal
to 20 microseconds.

30.a
          Implementation Note: The required range and accuracy of Time
          are such that 32-bits worth of seconds and 32-bits worth of
          ticks in a second could be used as the representation.

31
Time_Span_First shall be no greater than -3600 seconds, and
Time_Span_Last shall be no less than 3600 seconds.

31.a
          Reason: This is equivalent to ± one hour and there is still
          room for a two-microsecond resolution.

32
A <clock jump> is the difference between two successive distinct values
of the clock (as observed by calling the Clock function).  There shall
be no backward clock jumps.

                     _Documentation Requirements_

33
The implementation shall document the values of Time_First, Time_Last,
Time_Span_First, Time_Span_Last, Time_Span_Unit, and Tick.

33.a/2
          Documentation Requirement: The values of Time_First,
          Time_Last, Time_Span_First, Time_Span_Last, Time_Span_Unit,
          and Tick for package Real_Time.

34
The implementation shall document the properties of the underlying time
base used for the clock and for type Time, such as the range of values
supported and any relevant aspects of the underlying hardware or
operating system facilities used.

34.a.1/2
          Documentation Requirement: The properties of the underlying
          time base used in package Real_Time.

34.a
          Discussion: If there is an underlying operating system, this
          might include information about which system call is used to
          implement the clock.  Otherwise, it might include information
          about which hardware clock is used.

35
The implementation shall document whether or not there is any
synchronization with external time references, and if such
synchronization exists, the sources of synchronization information, the
frequency of synchronization, and the synchronization method applied.

35.a.1/2
          Documentation Requirement: Any synchronization of package
          Real_Time with external time references.

36/3
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} The implementation shall document any aspects
of the external environment that could interfere with the clock behavior
as defined in this subclause.

36.a.1/2
          Documentation Requirement: Any aspects of the external
          environment that could interfere with package Real_Time.

36.a
          Discussion: For example, the implementation is allowed to rely
          on the time services of an underlying operating system, and
          this operating system clock can implement time zones or allow
          the clock to be reset by an operator.  This dependence has to
          be documented.

                               _Metrics_

37/3
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} For the purpose of the metrics defined in
this subclause, real time is defined to be the International Atomic Time
(TAI).

38
The implementation shall document the following metrics:

39
   * An upper bound on the real-time duration of a clock tick.  This is
     a value D such that if t1 and t2 are any real times such that t1 <
     t2 and Clockt1 = Clockt2 then t2 - t1 <= D.

40
   * An upper bound on the size of a clock jump.

41
   * An upper bound on the <drift rate> of Clock with respect to real
     time.  This is a real number D such that

42
          E*(1-D) <= (Clockt+E - Clockt) <= E*(1+D)
                  provided that: Clockt + E*(1+D) <= Time_Last.

43
   * where Clockt is the value of Clock at time t, and E is a real time
     duration not less than 24 hours.  The value of E used for this
     metric shall be reported.

43.a
          Reason: This metric is intended to provide a measurement of
          the long term (cumulative) deviation; therefore, 24 hours is
          the lower bound on the measurement period.  On some
          implementations, this is also the maximum period, since the
          language does not require that the range of the type Duration
          be more than 24 hours.  On those implementations that support
          longer-range Duration, longer measurements should be
          performed.

44
   * An upper bound on the execution time of a call to the Clock
     function, in processor clock cycles.

45
   * Upper bounds on the execution times of the operators of the types
     Time and Time_Span, in processor clock cycles.

45.a
          Implementation Note: A fast implementation of the Clock
          function involves repeated reading until you get the same
          value twice.  It is highly improbable that more than three
          reads will be necessary.  Arithmetic on time values should not
          be significantly slower than 64-bit arithmetic in the
          underlying machine instruction set.

45.a.1/2
          Documentation Requirement: The metrics for package Real_Time.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

46
Implementations targeted to machines with word size smaller than 32 bits
need not support the full range and granularity of the Time and
Time_Span types.

46.a
          Discussion: These requirements are based on machines with a
          word size of 32 bits.

46.b
          Since the range and granularity are implementation defined,
          the supported values need to be documented.

                        _Implementation Advice_

47
When appropriate, implementations should provide configuration
mechanisms to change the value of Tick.

47.a.1/2
          Implementation Advice: When appropriate, mechanisms to change
          the value of Tick should be provided.

47.a
          Reason: This is often needed when the compilation system was
          originally targeted to a particular processor with a
          particular interval timer, but the customer uses the same
          processor with a different interval timer.

47.b
          Discussion: Tick is a deferred constant and not a named number
          specifically for this purpose.

47.c
          Implementation Note: This can be achieved either by
          pre-run-time configuration tools, or by having Tick be
          initialized (in the package private part) by a function call
          residing in a board specific module.

48
It is recommended that Calendar.Clock and Real_Time.Clock be implemented
as transformations of the same time base.

48.a.1/2
          Implementation Advice: Calendar.Clock and Real_Time.Clock
          should be transformations of the same time base.

49
It is recommended that the "best" time base which exists in the
underlying system be available to the application through Clock.  "Best"
may mean highest accuracy or largest range.

49.a.1/2
          Implementation Advice: The "best" time base which exists in
          the underlying system should be available to the application
          through Real_Time.Clock.

     NOTES

50/3
     35  {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} The rules in this subclause do not
     imply that the implementation can protect the user from operator or
     installation errors which could result in the clock being set
     incorrectly.

51
     36  Time_Unit is the granularity of the Time type.  In contrast,
     Tick represents the granularity of Real_Time.Clock.  There is no
     requirement that these be the same.

          Functions Seconds and Minutes are added to Real_Time.  If
          Real_Time is referenced in a use_clause, and an entity <E>
          with a defining_identifier of Seconds or Minutes is defined in
          a package that is also referenced in a use_clause, the entity
          <E> may no longer be use-visible, resulting in errors.  This
          should be rare and is easily fixed if it does occur.

          {<AI95-00432-01AI95-00432-01>} Added wording explaining how
          and when many of these functions can raise Constraint_Error.
          While there always was an intent to raise Constraint_Error if
          the values did not fit, there never was any wording to that
          effect, and since Time_Span was a private type, the normal
          numeric type rules do not apply to it.

D.9 Delay Accuracy
==================

1/3
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} [This subclause specifies performance
requirements for the delay_statement.  The rules apply both to
delay_relative_statement (*note 9.6: S0229.) and to
delay_until_statement (*note 9.6: S0228.).  Similarly, they apply
equally to a simple delay_statement (*note 9.6: S0227.) and to one which
appears in a delay_alternative (*note 9.7.1: S0235.).]

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

2
The effect of the delay_statement for Real_Time.Time is defined in terms
of Real_Time.Clock:

3
   * If C1 is a value of Clock read before a task executes a
     delay_relative_statement with duration D, and C2 is a value of
     Clock read after the task resumes execution following that
     delay_statement, then C2 - C1 >= D.

4
   * If C is a value of Clock read after a task resumes execution
     following a delay_until_statement with Real_Time.Time value T, then
     C >= T.

5
A simple delay_statement with a negative or zero value for the
expiration time does not cause the calling task to be blocked; it is
nevertheless a potentially blocking operation (see *note 9.5.1::).

6/3
{<AI05-0004-1AI05-0004-1>} When a delay_statement appears in a
delay_alternative of a timed_entry_call the selection of the entry call
is attempted, regardless of the specified expiration time.  When a
delay_statement appears in a select_alternative, and a call is queued on
one of the open entries, the selection of that entry call proceeds,
regardless of the value of the delay expression.

6.a
          Ramification: The effect of these requirements is that one has
          to always attempt a rendezvous, regardless of the value of the
          delay expression.  This can be tested by issuing a
          timed_entry_call with an expiration time of zero, to an open
          entry.

                     _Documentation Requirements_

7
The implementation shall document the minimum value of the delay
expression of a delay_relative_statement that causes the task to
actually be blocked.

7.a/2
          Documentation Requirement: The minimum value of the delay
          expression of a delay_relative_statement that causes a task to
          actually be blocked.

8
The implementation shall document the minimum difference between the
value of the delay expression of a delay_until_statement and the value
of Real_Time.Clock, that causes the task to actually be blocked.

8.a/2
          <This paragraph was deleted.>

8.b/2
          Documentation Requirement: The minimum difference between the
          value of the delay expression of a delay_until_statement and
          the value of Real_Time.Clock, that causes the task to actually
          be blocked.

                               _Metrics_

9
The implementation shall document the following metrics:

10
   * An upper bound on the execution time, in processor clock cycles, of
     a delay_relative_statement whose requested value of the delay
     expression is less than or equal to zero.

11
   * An upper bound on the execution time, in processor clock cycles, of
     a delay_until_statement whose requested value of the delay
     expression is less than or equal to the value of Real_Time.Clock at
     the time of executing the statement.  Similarly, for
     Calendar.Clock.

12
   * An upper bound on the <lateness> of a delay_relative_statement, for
     a positive value of the delay expression, in a situation where the
     task has sufficient priority to preempt the processor as soon as it
     becomes ready, and does not need to wait for any other execution
     resources.  The upper bound is expressed as a function of the value
     of the delay expression.  The lateness is obtained by subtracting
     the value of the delay expression from the <actual duration>.  The
     actual duration is measured from a point immediately before a task
     executes the delay_statement to a point immediately after the task
     resumes execution following this statement.

13
   * An upper bound on the lateness of a delay_until_statement, in a
     situation where the value of the requested expiration time is after
     the time the task begins executing the statement, the task has
     sufficient priority to preempt the processor as soon as it becomes
     ready, and it does not need to wait for any other execution
     resources.  The upper bound is expressed as a function of the
     difference between the requested expiration time and the clock
     value at the time the statement begins execution.  The lateness of
     a delay_until_statement is obtained by subtracting the requested
     expiration time from the real time that the task resumes execution
     following this statement.

13.a/2
          Documentation Requirement: The metrics for delay statements.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

14.a
          The rules regarding a timed_entry_call with a very small
          positive Duration value, have been tightened to always require
          the check whether the rendezvous is immediately possible.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

14.b/2
          {<AI95-00355-01AI95-00355-01>} The note about "voluntary
          round-robin', while still true, has been deleted as
          potentially confusing as it is describing a different kind of
          round-robin than is defined by the round-robin dispatching
          policy.

6/2
{<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} An object of the type Suspension_Object
has two visible states: True and False.  Upon initialization, its value
is set to False.

6.a
          Discussion: This object is assumed to be private to the
          declaring task, i.e.  only that task will call
          Suspend_Until_True on this object, and the count of callers is
          at most one.  Other tasks can, of course, change and query the
          state of this object.

7/2
{<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} The operations Set_True and Set_False are
atomic with respect to each other and with respect to
Suspend_Until_True; they set the state to True and False respectively.

8
Current_State returns the current state of the object.

the calling task until the state of the object S is True; at that point
the task becomes ready and the state of the object becomes False.

10
Program_Error is raised upon calling Suspend_Until_True if another task
is already waiting on that suspension object.  Suspend_Until_True is a
potentially blocking operation (see *note 9.5.1::).

Suspend_Until_True_And_Set_Deadline if another task is already waiting
on that suspension object.  Suspend_Until_True_And_Set_Deadline is a
potentially blocking operation.

The implementation is required to allow the calling of Set_False and

idle task is below System.Any_Priority'First.  The <held priority> is a
constant of the type Integer whose value is below the base priority of
the idle task.

4.a
          Discussion: The held state should not be confused with the
          blocked state as defined in *note 9.2::; the task is still

4.c/2

          not necessary to implement FIFO_Within_Priorities for systems
          that have only one policy (such as EDF_Across_Priorities).

5/2
{<AI95-00357-01AI95-00357-01>} The Hold operation sets the state of T to
held.  For a held task, the active priority is reevaluated as if the
base priority of the task were the held priority.

5.a
          Ramification: For example, if T is currently inheriting
          priorities from other sources (e.g.  it is executing in a
          protected action), its active priority does not change, and it
          continues to execute until it leaves the protected action.

6/2
{<AI95-00357-01AI95-00357-01>} The Continue operation resets the state
of T to not-held; its active priority is then reevaluated as determined
by the task dispatching policy associated with its base priority.

7
The Is_Held function returns True if and only if T is in the held state.

7.a
          Discussion: Note that the state of T can be changed
          immediately after Is_Held returns.

8
As part of these operations, a check is made that the task identified by
T is not terminated.  Tasking_Error is raised if the check fails.
Program_Error is raised if the value of T is Null_Task_Id.

                         _Erroneous Execution_

9
If any operation in this package is called with a parameter T that
specifies a task object that no longer exists, the execution of the
program is erroneous.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

10
An implementation need not support Asynchronous_Task_Control if it is
infeasible to support it in the target environment.

10.a
          Reason: A direct implementation of the
          Asynchronous_Task_Control semantics using priorities is not
          necessarily efficient enough.  Thus, we envision
          implementations that use some other mechanism to set the
          "held" state.  If there is no other such mechanism, support
          for Asynchronous_Task_Control might be infeasible, because an
          implementation in terms of priority would require one idle
          task per processor.  On some systems, programs are not
          supposed to know how many processors are available, so
          creating enough idle tasks would be problematic.

     NOTES

11
     38  It is a consequence of the priority rules that held tasks
     cannot be dispatched on any processor in a partition (unless they
     are inheriting priorities) since their priorities are defined to be
     below the priority of any idle task.

12
     39  The effect of calling Get_Priority and Set_Priority on a Held
     task is the same as on any other task.

13
     40  Calling Hold on a held task or Continue on a non-held task has
     no effect.

14
     41  The rules affecting queuing are derived from the above rules,
     in addition to the normal priority rules:

15
        * When a held task is on the ready queue, its priority is so low
          as to never reach the top of the queue as long as there are
          other tasks on that queue.

16
        * If a task is executing in a protected action, inside a
          rendezvous, or is inheriting priorities from other sources
          (e.g.  when activated), it continues to execute until it is no
          longer executing the corresponding construct.

17
        * If a task becomes held while waiting (as a caller) for a
          rendezvous to complete, the active priority of the accepting
          task is not affected.

18/1
        * {<8652/00778652/0077>} {<AI95-00111-01AI95-00111-01>} If a
          task becomes held while waiting in a selective_accept, and an
          entry call is issued to one of the open entries, the
          corresponding accept_alternative (*note 9.7.1: S0234.)
          executes.  When the rendezvous completes, the active priority
          of the accepting task is lowered to the held priority (unless
          it is still inheriting from other sources), and the task does
          not execute until another Continue.

19
        * The same holds if the held task is the only task on a
          protected entry queue whose barrier becomes open.  The
          corresponding entry body executes.

          {<AI95-00362-01AI95-00362-01>} Asynchronous_Task_Control is
          now Preelaborated, so it can be used in preelaborated units.

          Corrigendum: Corrected to eliminate the use of the undefined
          term "accept body".

19.c/2
          {<AI95-00357-01AI95-00357-01>} The description of held tasks
          was changed to reflect that the calculation of active
          priorities depends on the dispatching policy of the base
          priority.  Thus, the policy of the held priority was specified
          in order to avoid surprises (especially when using the EDF
          policy).

D.12 Other Optimizations and Determinism Rules
==============================================

1/3
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} [This subclause describes various
requirements for improving the response and determinism in a real-time
system.]

                     _Implementation Requirements_

2
If the implementation blocks interrupts (see *note C.3::) not as a
result of direct user action (e.g.  an execution of a protected action)
there shall be an upper bound on the duration of this blocking.

2.a
          Ramification: The implementation shall not allow itself to be
          interrupted when it is in a state where it is unable to
          support all the language-defined operations permitted in the
          execution of interrupt handlers.  (see *note 9.5.1::).

3
The implementation shall recognize entry-less protected types.  The
overhead of acquiring the execution resource of an object of such a type
(see *note 9.5.1::) shall be minimized.  In particular, there should not
be any overhead due to evaluating entry_barrier conditions.

3.a
          Implementation Note: Ideally the overhead should just be a
          spin-lock.

4
Unchecked_Deallocation shall be supported for terminated tasks that are
designated by access types, and shall have the effect of releasing all
the storage associated with the task.  This includes any run-time system
or heap storage that has been implicitly allocated for the task by the
implementation.

                     _Documentation Requirements_

5
The implementation shall document the upper bound on the duration of
interrupt blocking caused by the implementation.  If this is different
for different interrupts or interrupt priority levels, it should be
documented for each case.

5.a/2
          <This paragraph was deleted.>

5.b/2
          Documentation Requirement: The upper bound on the duration of
          interrupt blocking caused by the implementation.

                               _Metrics_

6
The implementation shall document the following metric:

7
   * The overhead associated with obtaining a mutual-exclusive access to
     an entry-less protected object.  This shall be measured in the
     following way:

8
     For a protected object of the form:

9
     protected Lock is
        procedure Set;
        function Read return Boolean;
     private
        Flag : Boolean := False;
     end Lock;

10
     protected body Lock is
        procedure Set is
        begin
           Flag := True;
        end Set;
        function Read return Boolean
        Begin
           return Flag;
        end Read;
     end Lock;

11
     The execution time, in processor clock cycles, of a call to Set.
     This shall be measured between the point just before issuing the
     call, and the point just after the call completes.  The function
     Read shall be called later to verify that Set was indeed called
     (and not optimized away).  The calling task shall have sufficiently
     high priority as to not be preempted during the measurement period.
     The protected object shall have sufficiently high ceiling priority
     to allow the task to call Set.

12
     For a multiprocessor, if supported, the metric shall be reported
     for the case where no contention (on the execution resource) exists
     [from tasks executing on other processors].

12.a/2
          Documentation Requirement: The metrics for entry-less
          protected objects.

     42  {<AI95-00249-01AI95-00249-01>} {<AI05-0246-1AI05-0246-1>} The
     effect of the Max_Entry_Queue_Length => 1 restriction applies only
     to protected entry queues due to the accompanying restriction of
     Max_Task_Entries => 0.

11/4
     43  {<AI12-0055-1AI12-0055-1>} When the Ravenscar profile is in
     effect (via the effect of the No_Dynamic_CPU_Assignment
     restriction), all of the tasks in the partition will execute on a
     single CPU unless the programmer explicitly uses aspect CPU to
     specify the CPU assignments for tasks.  The use of multiple CPUs
     requires care, as many guarantees of single CPU scheduling no
     longer apply.

12/4
     44  {<AI12-0055-1AI12-0055-1>} It is not recommended to specify the
     CPU of a task to be Not_A_Specific_CPU when the Ravenscar profile
     is in effect.  How a partition executes strongly depends on the
     assignment of tasks to CPUs.

12.c/4
          {<AI05-0073-1AI05-0073-1>} Corrigendum: The Ravenscar profile
          no longer allows the use of package Synchronous_Barriers, as
          this package violates the fundamental Ravenscar requirement
          that each waiting point can only block (and release) a single
          task.  This is incompatible with the published Ada 2012
          standard, but it is unlikely that any existing Ravenscar
          runtime ever usefully supported barriers.

12.d/4
          {<AI05-0055-1AI05-0055-1>} Corrigendum:The Ravenscar profile
          (via the effect of the new restriction
          No_Dynamic_CPU_Assignment) no longer allows setting the CPU
          aspect of a task to a non-static value.  While this was
          allowed, an implementation would have had to come up with a
          creative interpretation of the Ada 2012 requirement to define
          the association of tasks to processors statically.  As such,
          the new check is more likely to catch bugs than break a
          working program.

task is defined as the time spent by the system executing that task,
including the time spent executing run-time or system services on its
behalf.  The mechanism used to measure execution time is implementation
defined.  The Boolean constant Interrupt_Clocks_Supported is set to True
if the implementation separately accounts for the execution time of
interrupt handlers.  If it is set to False it is implementation defined
which task, if any, is charged the execution time that is consumed by
interrupt handlers.  The Boolean constant
Separate_Interrupt_Clocks_Supported is set to True if the implementation
separately accounts for the execution time of individual interrupt
handlers (see *note D.14.3::).

11.a/2
          Discussion: The implementation-defined properties above and of
          the values declared in the package are repeated in

          implementation-defined.

12/2
{<AI95-00307-01AI95-00307-01>} The type CPU_Time represents the
execution time of a task.  The set of values of this type corresponds
one-to-one with an implementation-defined range of mathematical
integers.

13/2
{<AI95-00307-01AI95-00307-01>} The CPU_Time value I represents the
half-open execution-time interval that starts with I*CPU_Time_Unit and
is limited by (I+1)*CPU_Time_Unit, where CPU_Time_Unit is an
implementation-defined real number.  For each task, the execution time
value is set to zero at the creation of the task.

13.a/2
          Ramification: Since it is implementation-defined which task is
          charged execution time for system services, the execution time
          value may become nonzero even before the start of the
          activation of the task.

14/2
{<AI95-00307-01AI95-00307-01>} CPU_Time_First and CPU_Time_Last are the
smallest and largest values of the CPU_Time type, respectively.

15/2
{<AI95-00307-01AI95-00307-01>} CPU_Time_Unit is the smallest amount of
execution time representable by the CPU_Time type; it is expressed in
seconds.  A <CPU clock tick> is an execution time interval during which
the clock value (as observed by calling the Clock function) remains
constant.  CPU_Tick is the average length of such intervals.

16/2
{<AI95-00307-01AI95-00307-01>} The effects of the operators on CPU_Time
and Time_Span are as for the operators defined for integer types.

17/2
{<AI95-00307-01AI95-00307-01>} The function Clock returns the current
execution time of the task identified by T; Tasking_Error is raised if
that task has terminated; Program_Error is raised if the value of T is
Task_Identification.Null_Task_Id.

18/2
{<AI95-00307-01AI95-00307-01>} The effects of the Split and Time_Of
operations are defined as follows, treating values of type CPU_Time,
Time_Span, and Seconds_Count as mathematical integers.  The effect of
Split (T, SC, TS) is to set SC and TS to values such that
T*CPU_Time_Unit = SC*1.0 + TS*CPU_Time_Unit, and 0.0 <= TS*CPU_Time_Unit
< 1.0.  The value returned by Time_Of(SC,TS) is the execution-time value
T such that T*CPU_Time_Unit=SC*1.0 + TS*CPU_Time_Unit.

{<AI05-0170-1AI05-0170-1>} The function Clock_For_Interrupts returns the
total cumulative time spent executing within all interrupt handlers.
This time is not allocated to any task execution time clock.  If
Interrupt_Clocks_Supported is set to False the function raises
Program_Error.

identified by T no longer exists, the execution of the program is
erroneous.

                     _Implementation Requirements_

20/2
{<AI95-00307-01AI95-00307-01>} The range of CPU_Time values shall be
sufficient to uniquely represent the range of execution times from the

          Execution_Time.

22/2
{<AI95-00307-01AI95-00307-01>} The implementation shall document the
properties of the underlying mechanism used to measure execution times,
such as the range of values supported and any relevant aspects of the
underlying hardware or operating system facilities used.

22.a/3
          Documentation Requirement: The properties of the mechanism
          used to implement package Execution_Time, including the values
          of the constants defined in the package.

                               _Metrics_

23/2
{<AI95-00307-01AI95-00307-01>} The implementation shall document the
following metrics:

24/2
   * An upper bound on the execution-time duration of a clock tick.
     This is a value D such that if t1 and t2 are any execution times of
     a given task such that t1 < t2 and Clockt1 = Clockt2 then t2 - t1
     <= D.

25/2
   * An upper bound on the size of a clock jump.  A clock jump is the
     difference between two successive distinct values of an
     execution-time clock (as observed by calling the Clock function
     with the same Task_Id).

26/2
   * An upper bound on the execution time of a call to the Clock
     function, in processor clock cycles.

27/2
   * Upper bounds on the execution times of the operators of the type
     CPU_Time, in processor clock cycles.

28/2
{<AI95-00307-01AI95-00307-01>} Implementations targeted to machines with
word size smaller than 32 bits need not support the full range and

29/2
{<AI95-00307-01AI95-00307-01>} When appropriate, implementations should
provide configuration mechanisms to change the value of CPU_Tick.

29.a/2

          Execution_Time.  If Execution_Time is referenced in a
          use_clause, and an entity <E> with a defining_identifier of
          one of the added entities is defined in a package that is also
          referenced in a use_clause, the entity <E> may no longer be
          use-visible, resulting in errors.  This should be rare and is
          easily fixed if it does occur.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

29.d/3
          {<AI05-0170-1AI05-0170-1>} If Interrupt_Clocks_Supported is
          True, it is now possible to determine the execution time of
          interrupt handlers.  This is not an inconsistency, as not
          charging any task for such time was a legitimate
          implementation for Ada 2005.

{<AI95-00307-01AI95-00307-01>} {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} This subclause
describes a language-defined package that provides a facility for
calling a handler when a task has used a defined amount of CPU time.

     end Ada.Execution_Time.Timers;

11/2
{<AI95-00307-01AI95-00307-01>} The type Timer represents an
execution-time event for a single task and is capable of detecting
execution-time overruns.  The access discriminant T identifies the task
concerned.  The type Timer needs finalization (see *note 7.6::).

12/2
{<AI95-00307-01AI95-00307-01>} An object of type Timer is said to be
<set> if it is associated with a nonnull value of type Timer_Handler and
<cleared> otherwise.  All Timer objects are initially cleared.  

13/2
{<AI95-00307-01AI95-00307-01>} The type Timer_Handler identifies a
protected procedure to be executed by the implementation when the timer
expires.  Such a protected procedure is called a <handler>.  

13.a/2
          Discussion: Type Timer is tagged.  This makes it possible to
          share a handler between several events.  In simple cases,
          'Access can be used to compare the parameter with a specific
          timer object (this works because a tagged type is a
          by-reference type).  In more complex cases, a type extension
          of type Timer can be declared; a double type conversion can be
          used to access the extension data.  An example of how this can
          be done can be found for the similar type Timing_Event, see
          *note D.15::.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

14/2
{<AI95-00307-01AI95-00307-01>} When a Timer object is created, or upon
the first call of a Set_Handler procedure with the timer as parameter,
the resources required to operate an execution-time timer based on the
associated execution-time clock are allocated and initialized.  If this
operation would exceed the available resources, Timer_Resource_Error is
raised.

15/3
{<AI95-00307-01AI95-00307-01>} {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} The procedures
Set_Handler associate the handler Handler with the timer TM: if Handler
is null, the timer is cleared; otherwise, it is set.  The first
procedure Set_Handler loads the timer TM with an interval specified by
the Time_Span parameter.  In this mode, the timer TM <expires> when the
execution time of the task identified by TM.T.all has increased by
In_Time; if In_Time is less than or equal to zero, the timer expires
immediately.  The second procedure Set_Handler loads the timer TM with
the absolute value specified by At_Time.  In this mode, the timer TM
expires when the execution time of the task identified by TM.T.all
reaches At_Time; if the value of At_Time has already been reached when
Set_Handler is called, the timer expires immediately.

15.a/2
          Implementation Note: Since an access-to-constant can designate
          a variable, the Task_Id value designated by the discriminant
          of a Timer object can be changed after the object is created.
          Thus, an implementation cannot use the value of the Task_Id
          other than where this Standard specifies.  For instance, the
          Task_Id should be read when the timer is set, but it should
          not be used when the timer expires (as it may designate a
          different task at that point).

16/2
{<AI95-00307-01AI95-00307-01>} A call of a procedure Set_Handler for a
timer that is already set replaces the handler and the (absolute or
relative) execution time; if Handler is not null, the timer remains set.

17/2
{<AI95-00307-01AI95-00307-01>} When a timer expires, the associated
handler is executed, passing the timer as parameter.  The initial action
of the execution of the handler is to clear the event.

18/3
{<AI95-00307-01AI95-00307-01>} {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} The function
Current_Handler returns the handler associated with the timer TM if that
timer is set; otherwise, it returns null.

19/3
{<AI95-00307-01AI95-00307-01>} {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} The procedure
Cancel_Handler clears the timer if it is set.  Cancelled is assigned
True if the timer was set prior to it being cleared; otherwise, it is
assigned False.

20/3
{<AI95-00307-01AI95-00307-01>} {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} The function
Time_Remaining returns the execution time interval that remains until
the timer TM would expire, if that timer is set; otherwise, it returns
Time_Span_Zero.

21/2
{<AI95-00307-01AI95-00307-01>} The constant Min_Handler_Ceiling is the
minimum ceiling priority required for a protected object with a handler
to ensure that no ceiling violation will occur when that handler is
invoked.

22/2
{<AI95-00307-01AI95-00307-01>} As part of the finalization of an object
of type Timer, the timer is cleared.

23/2
{<AI95-00307-01AI95-00307-01>} For all the subprograms defined in this
package, Tasking_Error is raised if the task identified by TM.T.all has
terminated, and Program_Error is raised if the value of TM.T.all is
Task_Identification.Null_Task_Id.

24/2
{<AI95-00307-01AI95-00307-01>} An exception propagated from a handler
invoked as part of the expiration of a timer has no effect.

                         _Erroneous Execution_

25/2
{<AI95-00307-01AI95-00307-01>} For a call of any of the subprograms
defined in this package, if the task identified by TM.T.all no longer
exists, the execution of the program is erroneous.

                     _Implementation Requirements_

26/2
{<AI95-00307-01AI95-00307-01>} For a given Timer object, the
implementation shall perform the operations declared in this package
atomically with respect to any of these operations on the same Timer
object.  The replacement of a handler by a call of Set_Handler shall be
performed atomically with respect to the execution of the handler.

26.a/2
          Reason: This prevents various race conditions.  In particular
          it ensures that if an event occurs when Set_Handler is
          changing the handler then either the new or old handler is
          executed in response to the appropriate event.  It is never
          possible for a new handler to be executed in response to an
          old event

27/2
{<AI95-00307-01AI95-00307-01>} When an object of type Timer is
finalized, the system resources used by the timer shall be deallocated.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

28/3
{<AI95-00307-01AI95-00307-01>} {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>}
Implementations may limit the number of timers that can be defined for
each task.  If this limit is exceeded, then Timer_Resource_Error is
raised.

{<AI95-00354-01AI95-00354-01>} The type Group_Budget represents an
execution time budget to be used by a group of tasks.  The type
Group_Budget needs finalization (see *note 7.6::).  A task can belong to
at most one group.  Tasks of any priority can be added to a group.

14/2
{<AI95-00354-01AI95-00354-01>} An object of type Group_Budget has an
associated nonnegative value of type Time_Span known as its <budget>,
which is initially Time_Span_Zero.  The type Group_Budget_Handler
identifies a protected procedure to be executed by the implementation
when the budget is <exhausted>, that is, reaches zero.  Such a protected
procedure is called a <handler>.  

15/2
{<AI95-00354-01AI95-00354-01>} An object of type Group_Budget also
includes a handler, which is a value of type Group_Budget_Handler.  The

16/2
{<AI95-00354-01AI95-00354-01>} The procedure Add_Task adds the task
identified by T to the group GB; if that task is already a member of
some other group, Group_Budget_Error is raised.

17/2
{<AI95-00354-01AI95-00354-01>} The procedure Remove_Task removes the
task identified by T from the group GB; if that task is not a member of
the group GB, Group_Budget_Error is raised.  After successful execution
of this procedure, the task is no longer a member of any group.

18/3
{<AI95-00354-01AI95-00354-01>} {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} The function
Is_Member returns True if the task identified by T is a member of the
group GB; otherwise, it returns False.

19/3
{<AI95-00354-01AI95-00354-01>} {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} The function
Is_A_Group_Member returns True if the task identified by T is a member
of some group; otherwise, it returns False.

20/2
{<AI95-00354-01AI95-00354-01>} The function Members returns an array of
values of type Task_Identification.Task_Id identifying the members of
the group GB. The order of the components of the array is unspecified.

{<AI05-0169-1AI05-0169-1>} The procedure Replenish loads the group
budget GB with To as the Time_Span value.  The exception
Group_Budget_Error is raised if the Time_Span value To is nonpositive.
Any execution on CPU of any member of the group of tasks results in the
budget counting down, unless exhausted.  When the budget becomes
exhausted (reaches Time_Span_Zero), the associated handler is executed
if the handler of group budget GB is set.  Nevertheless, the tasks
continue to execute.

22/2
{<AI95-00354-01AI95-00354-01>} The procedure Add modifies the budget of
the group GB. A positive value for Interval increases the budget.  A
negative value for Interval reduces the budget, but never below
Time_Span_Zero.  A zero value for Interval has no effect.  A call of
procedure Add that results in the value of the budget going to
Time_Span_Zero causes the associated handler to be executed if the
handler of the group budget GB is set.

23/3
{<AI95-00354-01AI95-00354-01>} {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} The function

(equal to Time_Span_Zero); otherwise, it returns False.

24/2
{<AI95-00354-01AI95-00354-01>} The function Budget_Remaining returns the
remaining budget for the group GB. If the budget is exhausted it returns
Time_Span_Zero.  This is the minimum value for a budget.

{<AI95-00354-01AI95-00354-01>} {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} The procedure

{<AI95-00354-01AI95-00354-01>} A call of Set_Handler for a Group_Budget
that already has a handler set replaces the handler; if Handler is not
null, the handler for Group_Budget remains set.

27/3
{<AI95-00354-01AI95-00354-01>} {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} The function
Current_Handler returns the handler associated with the group budget GB
if the handler for that group budget is set; otherwise, it returns null.

28/3
{<AI95-00354-01AI95-00354-01>} {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} The procedure
Cancel_Handler clears the handler for the group budget if it is set.
Cancelled is assigned True if the handler for the group budget was set
prior to it being cleared; otherwise, it is assigned False.

29/2
{<AI95-00354-01AI95-00354-01>} The constant Min_Handler_Ceiling is the
minimum ceiling priority required for a protected object with a handler
to ensure that no ceiling violation will occur when that handler is
invoked.

30/2
{<AI95-00354-01AI95-00354-01>} The precision of the accounting of task
execution time to a Group_Budget is the same as that defined for
execution-time clocks from the parent package.

31/2
{<AI95-00354-01AI95-00354-01>} As part of the finalization of an object
of type Group_Budget all member tasks are removed from the group
identified by that object.

32/3
{<AI95-00354-01AI95-00354-01>} {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} If a task is a
member of a Group_Budget when it terminates, then as part of the
finalization of the task it is removed from the group.

33/2
{<AI95-00354-01AI95-00354-01>} For all the operations defined in this
package, Tasking_Error is raised if the task identified by T has
terminated, and Program_Error is raised if the value of T is
Task_Identification.Null_Task_Id.

34/2
{<AI95-00354-01AI95-00354-01>} An exception propagated from a handler
invoked when the budget of a group of tasks becomes exhausted has no
effect.

                         _Erroneous Execution_

35/2
{<AI95-00354-01AI95-00354-01>} For a call of any of the subprograms
defined in this package, if the task identified by T no longer exists,
the execution of the program is erroneous.

                     _Implementation Requirements_

36/2
{<AI95-00354-01AI95-00354-01>} For a given Group_Budget object, the
implementation shall perform the operations declared in this package
atomically with respect to any of these operations on the same
Group_Budget object.  The replacement of a handler, by a call of
Set_Handler, shall be performed atomically with respect to the execution
of the handler.

36.a/2
          Reason: This prevents various race conditions.  In particular
          it ensures that if the budget is exhausted when Set_Handler is
          changing the handler then either the new or old handler is
          executed and the exhausting event is not lost.

     NOTES

37/2
     46  {<AI95-00354-01AI95-00354-01>} Clearing or setting of the
     handler of a group budget does not change the current value of the
     budget.  Exhaustion or loading of a budget does not change whether
     the handler of the group budget is set or cleared.

38/2
     47  {<AI95-00354-01AI95-00354-01>} A Group_Budget_Handler can be
     associated with several Group_Budget objects.

                    _Inconsistencies With Ada 2005_

38.b/3
          {<AI05-0169-1AI05-0169-1>} A Group_Budget is now defined to
          work on a single processor.  If an implementation managed to
          make this package work for programs running on a
          multiprocessor system, and a program depends on that fact, it
          could fail when ported to Ada 2012.  We believe it is unlikely
          that such an implementation exists because of the difficulty
          of signalling other processors when the time reaches zero; in
          any case, depending on such an implementation is not portable.

{<AI05-0170-1AI05-0170-1>} {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} This subclause
describes a language-defined package to measure the execution time of
interrupt handlers.

        function Supported (Interrupt : Ada.Interrupts.Interrupt_Id)
             return Boolean;
     end Ada.Execution_Time.Interrupts;

4/3
{<AI05-0170-1AI05-0170-1>} The execution time or CPU time of a given
interrupt Interrupt is defined as the time spent by the system executing
interrupt handlers identified by Interrupt, including the time spent
executing run-time or system services on its behalf.  The mechanism used
to measure execution time is implementation defined.  Time spent
executing interrupt handlers is distinct from time spent executing any
task.

4.a/3
          Discussion: The implementation-defined mechanism here is the
          same as that covered by the Documentation Requirements of
          *note D.14::, so we don't repeat that requirement here.

5/3
{<AI05-0170-1AI05-0170-1>} For each interrupt, the execution time value
is initially set to zero.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

6/3
{<AI05-0170-1AI05-0170-1>} The function Clock returns the current
cumulative execution time of the interrupt identified by Interrupt.  If
Separate_Interrupt_Clocks_Supported is set to False the function raises
Program_Error.

7/3
{<AI05-0170-1AI05-0170-1>} {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} The function
Supported returns True if the implementation is monitoring the execution
time of the interrupt identified by Interrupt; otherwise, it returns
False.  For any Interrupt_Id Interrupt for which Supported(Interrupt)
returns False, the function Clock(Interrupt) will return a value equal
to Ada.Execution_Time.Time_Of(0).

D.15 Timing Events
==================

1/3
{<AI95-00297-01AI95-00297-01>} {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} This subclause
describes a language-defined package to allow user-defined protected
procedures to be executed at a specified time without the need for a
task or a delay statement.

                          _Static Semantics_

2/2
{<AI95-00297-01AI95-00297-01>} The following language-defined library
package exists:

3/2
     package Ada.Real_Time.Timing_Events is

4/2
       type Timing_Event is tagged limited private;
       type Timing_Event_Handler
            is access protected procedure (Event : in out Timing_Event);

5/2

8/2
{<AI95-00297-01AI95-00297-01>} The type Timing_Event represents a time
in the future when an event is to occur.  The type Timing_Event needs
finalization (see *note 7.6::).

9/2
{<AI95-00297-01AI95-00297-01>} An object of type Timing_Event is said to
be <set> if it is associated with a nonnull value of type
Timing_Event_Handler and <cleared> otherwise.  All Timing_Event objects
are initially cleared.  

10/2
{<AI95-00297-01AI95-00297-01>} The type Timing_Event_Handler identifies
a protected procedure to be executed by the implementation when the
timing event occurs.  Such a protected procedure is called a <handler>.
10.a/2
          Discussion: Type Timing_Event is tagged.  This makes it
          possible to share a handler between several events.  In simple
          cases, 'Access can be used to compare the parameter with a
          specific timing event object (this works because a tagged type
          is a by-reference type).  In more complex cases, a type
          extension of type Timing_Event can be declared; a double type
          conversion can be used to access the extension data.  For
          example:

10.b/2
               type Toaster_Timing_Event is new Timing_Event with record
                  Slot : Natural;
               end record;

10.c/2
               ...

10.d/2
               protected body Toaster is

10.e/2
                  procedure Timer (Event : in out Timing_Event) is
                  begin
                     Pop_Up_Toast (Toaster_Timing_Event(Timing_Event'Class(Event)).Slot);
                  end Timer;

10.f/2
                  ...
               end Toaster;

10.g/2
          The extra conversion to the class-wide type is necessary to
          make the conversions legal.  While this usage is clearly ugly,
          we think that the need for this sort of usage will be rare, so
          we can live with it.  It's certainly better than having no way
          to associate data with an event.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

11/3
{<AI95-00297-01AI95-00297-01>} {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} The procedures
Set_Handler associate the handler Handler with the event Event: if
Handler is null, the event is cleared; otherwise, it is set.  The first
procedure Set_Handler sets the execution time for the event to be
At_Time.  The second procedure Set_Handler sets the execution time for
the event to be Real_Time.Clock + In_Time.

12/2
{<AI95-00297-01AI95-00297-01>} A call of a procedure Set_Handler for an
event that is already set replaces the handler and the time of
execution; if Handler is not null, the event remains set.

13/2
{<AI95-00297-01AI95-00297-01>} As soon as possible after the time set
for the event, the handler is executed, passing the event as parameter.
The handler is only executed if the timing event is in the set state at
the time of execution.  The initial action of the execution of the
handler is to clear the event.

13.a/2
          Reason: The second sentence of this paragraph is because of a
          potential race condition.  The time might expire and yet
          before the handler is executed, some task could call
          Cancel_Handler (or equivalently call Set_Handler with a null
          parameter) and thus clear the handler.

14/2
{<AI95-00297-01AI95-00297-01>} If the Ceiling_Locking policy (see *note
D.3::) is in effect when a procedure Set_Handler is called, a check is
made that the ceiling priority of Handler.all is
Interrupt_Priority'Last.  If the check fails, Program_Error is raised.

15/3
{<AI95-00297-01AI95-00297-01>} {<AI05-0094-1AI05-0094-1>}
{<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} If a procedure Set_Handler is called with
zero or negative In_Time or with At_Time indicating a time in the past,
then the handler is executed as soon as possible after the completion of
the call of Set_Handler.

15.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0094-1AI05-0094-1>} The handler will
          still be executed.  Under no circumstances is a scheduled call
          of a handler lost.

15.b/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0094-1AI05-0094-1>} We say "as soon as
          possible" so that we do not deadlock if we are executing the
          handler when Set_Handler is called.  In that case, the current
          invocation of the handler must complete before the new handler
          can start executing.

16/3
{<AI95-00297-01AI95-00297-01>} {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} The function
Current_Handler returns the handler associated with the event Event if
that event is set; otherwise, it returns null.

17/3
{<AI95-00297-01AI95-00297-01>} {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} The procedure
Cancel_Handler clears the event if it is set.  Cancelled is assigned
True if the event was set prior to it being cleared; otherwise, it is
assigned False.

18/3
{<AI95-00297-01AI95-00297-01>} {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} The function
Time_Of_Event returns the time of the event if the event is set;
otherwise, it returns Real_Time.Time_First.

19/2
{<AI95-00297-01AI95-00297-01>} As part of the finalization of an object
of type Timing_Event, the Timing_Event is cleared.

19.a/2
          Implementation Note: This is the only finalization defined by
          the language that has a visible effect; but an implementation
          may have other finalization that it needs to perform.
          Implementations need to ensure that the event is cleared
          before anything else is finalized that would prevent a set
          event from being triggered.

20/2
{<AI95-00297-01AI95-00297-01>} If several timing events are set for the
same time, they are executed in FIFO order of being set.

21/2
{<AI95-00297-01AI95-00297-01>} An exception propagated from a handler
invoked by a timing event has no effect.

                     _Implementation Requirements_

22/2
{<AI95-00297-01AI95-00297-01>} For a given Timing_Event object, the
implementation shall perform the operations declared in this package
atomically with respect to any of these operations on the same
Timing_Event object.  The replacement of a handler by a call of
Set_Handler shall be performed atomically with respect to the execution
of the handler.

22.a/2
          Reason: This prevents various race conditions.  In particular
          it ensures that if an event occurs when Set_Handler is
          changing the handler then either the new or old handler is
          executed in response to the appropriate event.  It is never
          possible for a new handler to be executed in response to an
          old event.

                               _Metrics_

23/2
{<AI95-00297-01AI95-00297-01>} The implementation shall document the
following metric:

24/3
   * {<AI05-0210-1AI05-0210-1>} An upper bound on the lateness of the
     execution of a handler.  That is, the maximum time between the time
     specified for the event and when a handler is actually invoked
     assuming no other handler or task is executing during this
     interval.

24.a/2
          Documentation Requirement: The metrics for timing events.

                        _Implementation Advice_

25/2
{<AI95-00297-01AI95-00297-01>} The protected handler procedure should be
executed directly by the real-time clock interrupt mechanism.

25.a/2
          Implementation Advice: For a timing event, the handler should
          be executed directly by the real-time clock interrupt
          mechanism.

     NOTES

26/2
     48  {<AI95-00297-01AI95-00297-01>} Since a call of Set_Handler is
     not a potentially blocking operation, it can be called from within
     a handler.

27/2
     49  {<AI95-00297-01AI95-00297-01>} A Timing_Event_Handler can be
     associated with several Timing_Event objects.

          Real_Time.Timing_Events is new.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2005_

27.b/3
          {<AI05-0094-1AI05-0094-1>} Correction: Reworded to eliminate a
          deadlock condition if the event time is in the past and a
          handler is currently executing.  This is technically an
          inconsistency, but only if a program is depending on
          deadlocking; since it is impossible to imagine how that could
          be useful, we have not documented this as an inconsistency.

27.c/3
          {<AI05-0210-1AI05-0210-1>} Correction: Clarified the metric
          for lateness of a timing event to exclude interference from
          other handlers and tasks.  This change might change the
          documentation of an implementation, but not the implementation
          itself, so there is no inconsistency.

a processor.  If the CPU value is not in the range of
System.Multiprocessors.CPU_Range or is greater than Number_Of_CPUs the
task is defined to have failed, and it becomes a completed task (see
*note 9.2::).

D.16.1 Multiprocessor Dispatching Domains
-----------------------------------------

1/3
{<AI05-0167-1AI05-0167-1>} {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} This subclause

{<AI05-0167-1AI05-0167-1>} {<AI12-0082-1AI12-0082-1>} A <dispatching
domain> represents a set of processors on which a task may execute.
Each processor is contained within exactly one dispatching domain.  An
object of type Dispatching_Domain identifies a dispatching domain.
System_Dispatching_Domain identifies a domain that contains the
processor or processors on which the environment task executes.  At
program start-up all processors are contained within this domain.

17/3
{<AI05-0167-1AI05-0167-1>} For a task type (including the anonymous type
of a single_task_declaration), the following language-defined
representation aspect may be specified:

18/3
Dispatching_Domain
               The value of aspect Dispatching_Domain is an expression,
               which shall be of type
               Dispatching_Domains.Dispatching_Domain.  This aspect is
               the domain to which the task (or all objects of the task
               type) are assigned.

18.a/3
          Aspect Description for Dispatching_Domain: Domain (group of
          processors) on which a given task should run.

                           _Legality Rules_

19/3
{<AI05-0167-1AI05-0167-1>} The Dispatching_Domain aspect shall not be
specified for a task interface.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

20/4
{<AI05-0167-1AI05-0167-1>} {<AI12-0033-1AI12-0033-1>} The expression
specified for the Dispatching_Domain aspect of a task type is evaluated
each time an object of the task type is created (see *note 9.1::).  If
the identified dispatching domain is empty, then
Dispatching_Domain_Error is raised; otherwise the newly created task is
assigned to the domain identified by the value of the expression.

21/3
{<AI05-0167-1AI05-0167-1>} If a task is not explicitly assigned to any
domain, it is assigned to that of the activating task.  A task always
executes on some CPU in its domain.

22/4
{<AI05-0167-1AI05-0167-1>} {<AI12-0082-1AI12-0082-1>} If both the
dispatching domain and CPU are specified for a task, and the CPU value
is not contained within the set of processors for the domain (and is not
Not_A_Specific_CPU), the activation of the task is defined to have
failed, and it becomes a completed task (see *note 9.2::).

23/4
{<AI05-0167-1AI05-0167-1>} {<AI12-0033-1AI12-0033-1>} The function
Create with First and Last parameters creates and returns a dispatching
domain containing all the processors in the range First ..  Last.  The
function Create with a Set parameter creates and returns a dispatching
domain containing the processors for which Set(I) is True.  These
processors are removed from System_Dispatching_Domain.  A call of Create
will raise Dispatching_Domain_Error if any designated processor is not
currently in System_Dispatching_Domain, or if the system cannot support
a distinct domain over the processors identified, or if a processor has
a task assigned to it, or if the allocation would leave
System_Dispatching_Domain empty.  A call of Create will raise
Dispatching_Domain_Error if the calling task is not the environment
task, or if Create is called after the call to the main subprogram.

24/4
{<AI05-0167-1AI05-0167-1>} {<AI12-0033-1AI12-0033-1>} The function
Get_First_CPU returns the first CPU in Domain, or CPU'First if Domain is
empty; Get_Last_CPU returns the last CPU in Domain, or CPU_Range'First
if Domain is empty.  The function Get_CPU_Set(D) returns an array whose
low bound is Get_First_CPU(D), whose high bound is Get_Last_CPU(D), with
True values in the Set corresponding to the CPUs that are in the given
Domain.

25/4
{<AI05-0167-1AI05-0167-1>} {<AI12-0082-1AI12-0082-1>} The function
Get_Dispatching_Domain returns the dispatching domain on which the task
is assigned.

26/4

{<AI12-0033-1AI12-0033-1>} A call of the procedure Assign_Task assigns
task T to the CPU within the dispatching domain Domain.  Task T can now
execute only on CPU, unless CPU designates Not_A_Specific_CPU in which
case it can execute on any processor within Domain.  The exception
Dispatching_Domain_Error is propagated if Domain is empty, T is already
assigned to a dispatching domain other than System_Dispatching_Domain,
or if CPU is not one of the processors of Domain (and is not
Not_A_Specific_CPU). A call of Assign_Task is a task dispatching point
for task T unless T is inside of a protected action, in which case the
effect on task T is delayed until its next task dispatching point.  If T
is the Current_Task the effect is immediate if T is not inside a
protected action, otherwise the effect is as soon as practical.
Assigning a task already assigned to System_Dispatching_Domain to that
domain has no effect.

27/4
{<AI05-0167-1AI05-0167-1>} {<AI05-0278-1AI05-0278-1>}
{<AI12-0082-1AI12-0082-1>} A call of procedure Set_CPU assigns task T to
the CPU. Task T can now execute only on CPU, unless CPU designates
Not_A_Specific_CPU, in which case it can execute on any processor within
its dispatching domain.  The exception Dispatching_Domain_Error is
propagated if CPU is not one of the processors of the dispatching domain
on which T is assigned (and is not Not_A_Specific_CPU). A call of
Set_CPU is a task dispatching point for task T unless T is inside of a
protected action, in which case the effect on task T is delayed until
its next task dispatching point.  If T is the Current_Task the effect is
immediate if T is not inside a protected action, otherwise the effect is
as soon as practical.

28/3
{<AI05-0167-1AI05-0167-1>} The function Get_CPU returns the processor
assigned to task T, or Not_A_Specific_CPU if the task is not assigned to
a processor.

29/4
{<AI05-0167-1AI05-0167-1>} {<AI12-0082-1AI12-0082-1>} A call of
Delay_Until_And_Set_CPU delays the calling task for the designated time
and then assigns the task to the specified processor when the delay
expires.  The exception Dispatching_Domain_Error is propagated if P is
not one of the processors of the calling task's dispatching domain (and
is not Not_A_Specific_CPU).

                     _Implementation Requirements_

30/3
{<AI05-0167-1AI05-0167-1>} The implementation shall perform the
operations Assign_Task, Set_CPU, Get_CPU and Delay_Until_And_Set_CPU
atomically with respect to any of these operations on the same
dispatching_domain, processor or task.

30.1/4
{<AI12-0048-1AI12-0048-1>} Any task that belongs to the system
dispatching domain can execute on any CPU within that domain, unless the
assignment of the task has been specified.

30.a/4
          Reason: This ensures that priorities and deadlines are
          respected within the system dispatching domain.  There is no
          such guarantee between different domains.

30.b/4
          We only need to talk about the system dispatching domain here,
          because Assign_Task and Set_CPU already have such wording for
          tasks that are assigned explicitly to a dispatching domain and
          specify Not_a_Specific_CPU.

30.c/4
          Ramification: If no dispatching domains are created, all tasks
          can execute on all processors.  (As always,
          implementation-defined dispatching policies may have other
          rules, so a partition that does not specify any
          language-defined dispatching policy may do anything at all and
          in particular does not need to follow this rule.

30.d/4
          Discussion: A task can be assigned to a specific CPU by
          specifying the aspect CPU for a task, or by calling a dynamic
          operation like Set_CPU or Assign_Task.

                        _Implementation Advice_

31/3
{<AI05-0167-1AI05-0167-1>} Each dispatching domain should have separate
and disjoint ready queues.

31.a/3
          Implementation Advice: Each dispatching domain should have
          separate and disjoint ready queues.

31.b/4
          To be honest: {<AI12-0048-1AI12-0048-1>} "Ready queue" here
          doesn't mean the conceptual "ready queue" as defined in *note
          D.2.1:: (one per processor); this rule is talking about the
          ready queues used by the implementation.

                     _Documentation Requirements_

32/3
{<AI05-0167-1AI05-0167-1>} The implementation shall document the
processor(s) on which the clock interrupt is handled and hence where
delay queue and ready queue manipulations occur.  For any Interrupt_Id
whose handler can execute on more than one processor the implementation
shall also document this set of processors.

32.a/3
          Documentation Requirement: The processor(s) on which the clock
          interrupt is handled; the processors on which each
          Interrupt_Id can be handled.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

33/3
{<AI05-0167-1AI05-0167-1>} An implementation may limit the number of
dispatching domains that can be created and raise
Dispatching_Domain_Error if an attempt is made to exceed this number.

                       _Extensions to Ada 2005_

33.a/3
          {<AI05-0167-1AI05-0167-1>} {<AI05-0278-1AI05-0278-1>} The
          package System.Multiprocessors.Dispatching_Domains and the
          aspect Dispatching_Domains are new.

                    _Inconsistencies With Ada 2012_

33.b/4
          {<AI12-0033-1AI12-0033-1>} Corrigendum: We now explicitly
          allow empty dispatching domains, as it would be difficult to
          avoid declaring them when a system is configured at runtime.
          Therefore, assigning a task to an empty domain now raises
          Dispatching_Domain_Error; creating such a domain should not
          raise Dispatching_Domain_Error.  If an implementation does
          something different in these cases, and a program depends on
          that difference, the program could malfunction.  This seems
          very unlikely (if no exception is ever raised, the task
          assigned to the empty domain could never run; if the exception
          is raised earlier, the program can't do anything useful).

                   _Incompatibilities With Ada 2012_

33.c/4
          {<AI05-0033-1AI05-0033-1>} Corrigendum: The subtypes of the
          parameter or result of several routines were changed to
          support empty domains.  These changes will cause rules
          requiring subtype conformance to fail on these routines (such
          as 'Access).  We believe such uses are unlikely.  In addition,
          type CPU_Set and function Get_CPU_Set, along with an
          overloaded Create are newly added to this package.  If
          Multiprocessors.Dispatching_Domains is referenced in a
          use_clause, and an entity <E> with the same
          defining_identifier as a new entity in this package is defined
          in a package that is also referenced in a use_clause, the
          entity <E> may no longer be use-visible, resulting in errors.
          This should be rare and is easily fixed if it does occur.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2012_

33.d/4
          {<AI12-0048-1AI12-0048-1>} Corrigendum: Added wording to
          clarify that all tasks can execute on all CPUs of the system
          dispatching domain by default.

33.e/4
          {<AI12-0082-1AI12-0082-1>} Corrigndum: Added a definition to
          clarify that a "dispatching domain" is a concept which is
          identified by an object of type Dispatching_Domain; more than
          one object might identify the same dispatching domain (for
          instance, the result of function Get_Dispatching_Domain is a
          different object but identifies the same dispatching domain).

Annex E Distributed Systems
***************************

1
[This Annex defines facilities for supporting the implementation of
distributed systems using multiple partitions working cooperatively as
part of a single Ada program.]

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

1.a
          This Annex is new to Ada 95.

                       _Post-Compilation Rules_

2
A <distributed system> is an interconnection of one or more <processing
nodes> (a system resource that has both computational and storage
capabilities), and zero or more <storage nodes> (a system resource that
has only storage capabilities, with the storage addressable by one or
more processing nodes).

3
A <distributed program> comprises one or more partitions that execute
independently (except when they communicate) in a distributed system.

4
The process of mapping the partitions of a program to the nodes in a
distributed system is called <configuring the partitions of the
program>.

                     _Implementation Requirements_

5
The implementation shall provide means for explicitly assigning library
units to a partition and for the configuring and execution of a program
consisting of multiple partitions on a distributed system; the means are
implementation defined.

5.a
          Implementation defined: The means for creating and executing
          distributed programs.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

6
An implementation may require that the set of processing nodes of a
distributed system be homogeneous.

     NOTES

7
     1  The partitions comprising a program may be executed on
     differently configured distributed systems or on a nondistributed
     system without requiring recompilation.  A distributed program may
     be partitioned differently from the same set of library units
     without recompilation.  The resulting execution is semantically
     equivalent.

8
     2  A distributed program retains the same type safety as the
     equivalent single partition program.

E.1 Partitions
==============

1
[The partitions of a distributed program are classified as either active
or passive.]

                       _Post-Compilation Rules_

2
An <active partition> is a partition as defined in *note 10.2::.  A
<passive partition> is a partition that has no thread of control of its
own, whose library units are all preelaborated, and whose data and
subprograms are accessible to one or more active partitions.

2.a
          Discussion: In most situations, a passive partition does not
          execute, and does not have a "real" environment task.  Any
          execution involved in its elaboration and initialization
          occurs before it comes into existence in a distributed program
          (like most preelaborated entities).  Likewise, there is no
          concrete meaning to passive partition termination.

3
A passive partition shall include only library_items that either are
declared pure or are shared passive (see *note 10.2.1:: and *note
E.2.1::).

4
An active partition shall be configured on a processing node.  A passive
partition shall be configured either on a storage node or on a
processing node.

5
The configuration of the partitions of a program onto a distributed
system shall be consistent with the possibility for data references or
calls between the partitions implied by their semantic dependences.  Any
reference to data or call of a subprogram across partitions is called a
<remote access>.

5.a
          Discussion: For example, an active partition that includes a
          unit with a semantic dependence on the declaration of another
          RCI package of some other active partition has to be connected
          to that other partition by some sort of a message passing
          mechanism.

5.b
          A passive partition that is accessible to an active partition
          should have its storage addressable to the processor(s) of the
          active partition.  The processor(s) should be able to read and
          write from/to that storage, as well as to perform
          "read-modify-write" operations (in order to support entry-less
          protected objects).

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

6
A library_item is elaborated as part of the elaboration of each
partition that includes it.  If a normal library unit (see *note E.2::)
has state, then a separate copy of the state exists in each active
partition that elaborates it.  [The state evolves independently in each
such partition.]

6.a
          Ramification: Normal library units cannot be included in
          passive partitions.

7
[An active partition <terminates> when its environment task terminates.]
A partition becomes <inaccessible> if it terminates or if it is
<aborted>.  An active partition is aborted when its environment task is
aborted.  In addition, if a partition fails during its elaboration, it
becomes inaccessible to other partitions.  Other implementation-defined
events can also result in a partition becoming inaccessible.

7.a
          Implementation defined: Any events that can result in a
          partition becoming inaccessible.

8/1
For a prefix D that denotes a library-level declaration, excepting a
declaration of or within a declared-pure library unit, the following
attribute is defined:

9
D'Partition_Id
               Denotes a value of the type <universal_integer> that
               identifies the partition in which D was elaborated.  If D
               denotes the declaration of a remote call interface
               library unit (see *note E.2.3::) the given partition is
               the one where the body of D was elaborated.

                      _Bounded (Run-Time) Errors_

10/2
{<AI95-00226-01AI95-00226-01>} It is a bounded error for there to be
cyclic elaboration dependences between the active partitions of a single
distributed program.  The possible effects, in each of the partitions
involved, are deadlock during elaboration, or the raising of
Communication_Error or Program_Error.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

11
An implementation may allow multiple active or passive partitions to be
configured on a single processing node, and multiple passive partitions
to be configured on a single storage node.  In these cases, the
scheduling policies, treatment of priorities, and management of shared
resources between these partitions are implementation defined.

11.a
          Implementation defined: The scheduling policies, treatment of
          priorities, and management of shared resources between
          partitions in certain cases.

12
An implementation may allow separate copies of an active partition to be
configured on different processing nodes, and to provide appropriate
interactions between the copies to present a consistent state of the
partition to other active partitions.

12.a
          Ramification: The language does not specify the nature of
          these interactions, nor the actual level of consistency
          preserved.

13
In an implementation, the partitions of a distributed program need not
be loaded and elaborated all at the same time; they may be loaded and
elaborated one at a time over an extended period of time.  An
implementation may provide facilities to abort and reload a partition
during the execution of a distributed program.

14
An implementation may allow the state of some of the partitions of a
distributed program to persist while other partitions of the program
terminate and are later reinvoked.

     NOTES

15
     3  Library units are grouped into partitions after compile time,
     but before run time.  At compile time, only the relevant library
     unit properties are identified using categorization pragmas.

16
     4  The value returned by the Partition_Id attribute can be used as
     a parameter to implementation-provided subprograms in order to
     query information about the partition.

16.a/2
          {<AI95-00226-01AI95-00226-01>} Corrected wording so that a
          partition that has an elaboration problem will either deadlock
          or raise an exception.  While an Ada 95 implementation could
          allow some partitions to continue to execute, they could be
          accessing unelaborated data, which is very bad (and erroneous
          in a practical sense).  Therefore, this isn't listed as an
          inconsistency.

E.2 Categorization of Library Units
===================================

1
[Library units can be categorized according to the role they play in a
distributed program.  Certain restrictions are associated with each
category to ensure that the semantics of a distributed program remain
close to the semantics for a nondistributed program.]

2/3
{<AI05-0243-1AI05-0243-1>} A <categorization pragma> is a library unit
pragma (see *note 10.1.5::) that specifies a corresponding
<categorization aspect>.  A categorization aspect restricts the
declarations, child units, or semantic dependences of the library unit
to which it applies.  A <categorized library unit> is a library unit
that has a categorization aspect that is True.

3/3
{<AI05-0243-1AI05-0243-1>} The pragmas Shared_Passive, Remote_Types, and
Remote_Call_Interface are categorization pragmas, and the associated
aspects are categorization aspects.  In addition, for the purposes of
this Annex, the aspect Pure (see *note 10.2.1::) is considered a
categorization aspect and the pragma Pure is considered a categorization
pragma.

4/3
{<8652/00788652/0078>} {<AI95-00048-01AI95-00048-01>}

package is called a <shared passive> library unit if the Shared_Passive
aspect of the unit is True.   A library package or generic library
package is called a <remote types> library unit if the Remote_Types
aspect of the unit is True.   A library unit is called a <remote call
interface> if the Remote_Call_Interface aspect of the unit is True.]  A
<normal library unit> is one for which no categorization aspect is True.

call interface library unit is unrestricted, the declaration of a remote
types or remote call interface library unit may depend on preelaborated

E.2.1 Shared Passive Library Units
----------------------------------

1
[A shared passive library unit is used for managing global data shared
between active partitions.  The restrictions on shared passive library
units prevent the data or tasks of one active partition from being
accessible to another active partition through references implicit in
objects declared in the shared passive library unit.]

                     _Language Design Principles_

1.a
          The restrictions governing a shared passive library unit are
          designed to ensure that objects and subprograms declared in
          the package can be used safely from multiple active
          partitions, even though the active partitions live in
          different address spaces, and have separate run-time systems.

                               _Syntax_

2
     The form of a pragma Shared_Passive is as follows:

3
       pragma Shared_Passive[(<library_unit_>name)];

                           _Legality Rules_

4/3
{<AI05-0243-1AI05-0243-1>} A pragma Shared_Passive is used to specify
that a library unit is a <shared passive library unit>, namely that the
Shared_Passive aspect of the library unit is True.  The following
restrictions apply to such a library unit:

4.a/3
          Aspect Description for Shared_Passive: A given package is used
          to represent shared memory in a distributed system.

5
   * [it shall be preelaborable (see *note 10.2.1::);]

5.a
          Ramification: It cannot contain library-level declarations of
          protected objects with entries, nor of task objects.  Task
          objects are disallowed because passive partitions don't have
          any threads of control of their own, nor any run-time system
          of their own.  Protected objects with entries are disallowed
          because an entry queue contains references to calling tasks,
          and that would require in effect a pointer from a passive
          partition back to a task in some active partition.

6/3
   * {<AI05-0243-1AI05-0243-1>} it shall depend semantically only upon
     declared pure or shared passive library_items;

6.a
          Reason: Shared passive packages cannot depend semantically
          upon remote types packages because the values of an access
          type declared in a remote types package refer to the local
          heap of the active partition including the remote types
          package.

6.b/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0243-1AI05-0243-1>} We say library_item
          here, so that limited views are allowed; those are not library
          units, but they are library_item.

7/4
   * {<8652/00808652/0080>} {<AI95-00003-01AI95-00003-01>}
     {<AI12-0038-1AI12-0038-1>} it shall not contain a library-level
     declaration of an access type that designates a class-wide type,
     nor a type with a part that is of a task type or protected type
     with entry_declarations;

7.a
          Reason: These kinds of access types are disallowed because the
          object designated by an access value of such a type could
          contain an implicit reference back to the active partition on
          whose behalf the designated object was created.

7.1/4
   * {<AI12-0038-1AI12-0038-1>} it shall not contain a library-level
     declaration that contains a name that denotes a type declared
     within a declared-pure package, if that type has a part that is of
     an access type; for the purposes of this rule, the parts considered
     include those of the full views of any private types or private
     extensions.

7.b/4
          Reason: This rule breaks privacy by looking into the full
          views of private types.  Avoiding privacy breakage here would
          have required disallowing the use in a shared passive package
          of any private type declared in a declared-pure package, which
          would have been severely incompatible.

8
Notwithstanding the definition of accessibility given in *note 3.10.2::,
the declaration of a library unit P1 is not accessible from within the
declarative region of a shared passive library unit P2, unless the
shared passive library unit P2 depends semantically on P1.

8.a
          Discussion: We considered a more complex rule, but dropped it.
          This is the simplest rule that recognizes that a shared
          passive package may outlive some other library package, unless
          it depends semantically on that package.  In a nondistributed
          program, all library packages are presumed to have the same
          lifetime.

8.b
          Implementations may define additional pragmas that force two
          library packages to be in the same partition, or to have the
          same lifetime, which would allow this rule to be relaxed in
          the presence of such pragmas.

                          _Static Semantics_

9
A shared passive library unit is preelaborated.

                       _Post-Compilation Rules_

10
A shared passive library unit shall be assigned to at most one partition
within a given program.

11
Notwithstanding the rule given in *note 10.2::, a compilation unit in a
given partition does not <need> (in the sense of *note 10.2::) the
shared passive library units on which it depends semantically to be
included in that same partition; they will typically reside in separate
passive partitions.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

11.a/2
          {<8652/00808652/0080>} {<AI95-00003-01AI95-00003-01>}
          Corrigendum: Corrected the wording to allow access types in
          blocks in shared passive generic packages.

                       _Extensions to Ada 2005_

11.b/3
          {<AI05-0243-1AI05-0243-1>} Shared_Passive is now a
          categorization aspect, so it can be specified by an
          aspect_specification -- although the pragma is still preferred
          by the Standard.

                   _Incompatibilities With Ada 2012_

11.c/4
          {<AI12-0038-1AI12-0038-1>} Corrigendum: Uses of access types
          declared in declared-pure units are not allowed in
          library-level shared passive packages.  These were allowed by
          Ada 2005 and Ada 2012, but it is unlikely that they work
          properly, as active partitions could disappear before the
          shared-passive partition.  As such, the new errors are more
          likely to catch bugs than to cause them.

E.2.2 Remote Types Library Units
--------------------------------

1
[A remote types library unit supports the definition of types intended
for use in communication between active partitions.]

                     _Language Design Principles_

1.a
          The restrictions governing a remote types package are similar
          to those for a declared pure package.  However, the
          restrictions are relaxed deliberately to allow such a package
          to contain declarations that violate the stateless property of
          pure packages, though it is presumed that any state-dependent
          properties are essentially invisible outside the package.

                               _Syntax_

2
     The form of a pragma Remote_Types is as follows:

3
       pragma Remote_Types[(<library_unit_>name)];

                           _Legality Rules_

4/3
{<AI05-0243-1AI05-0243-1>} A pragma Remote_Types is used to specify that
a library unit is a <remote types library unit>, namely that the
Remote_Types aspect of the library unit is True.  The following
restrictions apply to the declaration of such a library unit:

4.a/3
          Aspect Description for Remote_Types: Types in a given package
          may be used in remote procedure calls.

5
   * [it shall be preelaborable;]

6/3
   * {<AI05-0206-1AI05-0206-1>} {<AI05-0243-1AI05-0243-1>} it shall
     depend semantically only on declared pure library_items, shared
     passive library units, other remote types library units, or
     preelaborated normal library units that are mentioned only in
     private with clauses;

6.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0243-1AI05-0243-1>} We say declared pure
          library_item here, so that (all) limited views are allowed;
          those are not library units, but they are declared pure
          library_items.

7
   * it shall not contain the declaration of any variable within the
     visible part of the library unit;

7.a
          Reason: This is essentially a "methodological" restriction.  A
          separate copy of a remote types package is included in each
          partition that references it, just like a normal package.
          Nevertheless, a remote types package is thought of as an
          "essentially pure" package for defining types to be used for
          interpartition communication, and it could be misleading to
          declare visible objects when no remote data access is actually
          being provided.

8/2
   * {<AI95-00240-01AI95-00240-01>} {<AI95-00366-01AI95-00366-01>} the
     full view of each type declared in the visible part of the library
     unit that has any available stream attributes shall support
     external streaming (see *note 13.13.2::).

8.a
          Reason: This is to prevent the use of the predefined Read and
          Write attributes of an access type as part of the Read and
          Write attributes of a visible type.

8.b/2
          Ramification: {<AI95-00366-01AI95-00366-01>} Types that do not
          have available stream attributes are excluded from this rule;
          that means that attributes do not need to be specified for
          most limited types.  It is only necessary to specify
          attributes for nonlimited types that have a part that is of
          any access type, and for extensions of limited types with
          available stream attributes where the record_extension_part
          includes a subcomponent of an access type, where the access
          type does not have specified attributes.

9/3
{<8652/00828652/0082>} {<AI95-00164-01AI95-00164-01>}
{<AI05-0060-1AI05-0060-1>} A named access type declared in the visible
part of a remote types or remote call interface library unit is called a
<remote access type>.  Such a type shall be:

9.1/1
   * {<8652/00828652/0082>} {<AI95-00164-01AI95-00164-01>} an
     access-to-subprogram type, or

9.2/3
   * {<8652/00828652/0082>} {<AI95-00164-01AI95-00164-01>}
     {<AI05-0060-1AI05-0060-1>} a general access type that designates a
     class-wide limited private type, a class-wide limited interface
     type, or a class-wide private extension all of whose ancestors are
     either private extensions, limited interface types, or limited
     private types.

9.3/1
{<8652/00818652/0081>} {<AI95-00004-01AI95-00004-01>} A type that is
derived from a remote access type is also a remote access type.

10
The following restrictions apply to the use of a remote
access-to-subprogram type:

11/2
   * {<AI95-00431-01AI95-00431-01>} A value of a remote
     access-to-subprogram type shall be converted only to or from
     another (subtype-conformant) remote access-to-subprogram type;

12
   * The prefix of an Access attribute_reference that yields a value of
     a remote access-to-subprogram type shall statically denote a
     (subtype-conformant) remote subprogram.

13
The following restrictions apply to the use of a remote
access-to-class-wide type:

14/3
   * {<8652/00838652/0083>} {<AI95-00047-01AI95-00047-01>}
     {<AI95-00240-01AI95-00240-01>} {<AI95-00366-01AI95-00366-01>}
     {<AI05-0060-1AI05-0060-1>} {<AI05-0101-1AI05-0101-1>} The primitive
     subprograms of the corresponding specific type shall only have
     access parameters if they are controlling formal parameters.  The
     primitive functions of the corresponding specific type shall only
     have an access result if it is a controlling access result.  Each
     noncontrolling formal parameter and noncontrolling result type
     shall support external streaming (see *note 13.13.2::);

14.1/3
   * {<AI05-0060-1AI05-0060-1>} {<AI05-0215-1AI05-0215-1>}
     {<AI05-0269-1AI05-0269-1>} The corresponding specific type shall
     not have a primitive procedure with the Synchronization aspect
     specified unless the synchronization_kind is Optional (see *note
     9.5::);

15
   * A value of a remote access-to-class-wide type shall be explicitly
     converted only to another remote access-to-class-wide type;

16/4
   * {<AI12-0034-1AI12-0034-1>} A value of a remote access-to-class-wide
     type shall be dereferenced (or implicitly converted to an anonymous
     access type) only as part of a dispatching call to a primitive
     operation of the designated type where the value designates a
     controlling operand of the call (see *note E.4::, "*note E.4::
     Remote Subprogram Calls");

16.a/4
          Ramification: {<AI12-0034-1AI12-0034-1>} Stream attributes of
          the designated type are not primitive operations of the
          designated type, and thus remote calls to them are prohibited
          by this rule.  This is good, as the access parameter of a
          stream attribute does not have external streaming, and thus
          cannot be a parameter of a remote call.

16.1/3
   * {<AI05-0101-1AI05-0101-1>} A controlling access result value for a
     primitive function with any controlling operands of the
     corresponding specific type shall either be explicitly converted to
     a remote access-to-class-wide type or be part of a dispatching call
     where the value designates a controlling operand of the call;

17/4
   * {<AI95-00366-01AI95-00366-01>} {<AI12-0085-1AI12-0085-1>} The
     Storage_Pool attribute is not defined for a remote
     access-to-class-wide type; the expected type for an allocator shall
     not be a remote access-to-class-wide type.  A remote
     access-to-class-wide type shall not be an actual parameter for a
     generic formal access type.  The Storage_Size attribute of a remote
     access-to-class-wide type yields 0.  The Storage_Pool and
     Storage_Size aspects shall not be specified for a remote
     access-to-class-wide type.

17.a/3
          Reason: {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} All of these restrictions
          are because there is no storage pool associated with a remote
          access-to-class-wide type.  The Storage_Size is defined to be
          0 so that there is no conflict with the rules for pure units.

17.b/4
          Ramification: {<AI12-0085-1AI12-0085-1>} The prohibition
          against specifying the Storage_Size aspect for an
          access-to-class-wide type applies to any method of doing that,
          including via either a aspect_specification or an
          attribute_definition_clause.

                         _Erroneous Execution_

17.1/4
{<AI12-0076-1AI12-0076-1>} Execution is erroneous if some operation
(other than the initialization or finalization of the object) modifies
the value of a constant object declared in the visible part of a remote
types package.

17.c/4
          Discussion: This could be accomplished via a self-referencing
          pointer or via squirrelling a writable pointer to a controlled
          object.

     NOTES

18
     5  A remote types library unit need not be pure, and the types it
     defines may include levels of indirection implemented by using
     access types.  User-specified Read and Write attributes (see *note
     13.13.2::) provide for sending values of such a type between active
     partitions, with Write marshalling the representation, and Read
     unmarshalling any levels of indirection.

19/3
     6  {<AI05-0060-1AI05-0060-1>} The value of a remote
     access-to-class-wide limited interface can designate an object of a
     nonlimited type derived from the interface.

20/3
     7  {<AI05-0060-1AI05-0060-1>} A remote access type may designate a
     class-wide synchronized, protected, or task interface type.

20.a/3
          Proof: Synchronized, protected, and task interfaces are all
          considered limited interfaces, see *note 3.9.4::.

          {<AI95-00240-01AI95-00240-01>} {<AI05-0248-1AI05-0248-1>}
          Amendment Correction: The wording was changed from
          "user-specified" to "available" read and write attributes.
          (This was then further changed, see below.)  This means that
          an access type with the attributes specified in the private
          part would originally have been sufficient to allow the access
          type to be used in a remote type, but that is no longer
          allowed.  Similarly, the attributes of a remote type that has
          access components have to be specified in the visible part.
          These changes were made so that the rules were consistent with
          the rules introduced for the Corrigendum for stream
          attributes; moreover, legality should not depend on the
          contents of the private part.

          {<AI95-00366-01AI95-00366-01>} {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>}
          Remote types that cannot be streamed (that is, have no
          available stream attributes) do not require the specification
          of stream attributes.  This is necessary so that most
          extensions of Limited_Controlled do not need stream attributes
          defined (otherwise there would be a significant
          incompatibility, as Limited_Controlled would need stream
          attributes, and then all extensions of it also would need
          stream attributes).

          {<8652/00818652/0081>} {<AI95-00004-01AI95-00004-01>}
          Corrigendum: Added missing wording so that a type derived from
          a remote access type is also a remote access type.

20.e/2
          {<8652/00838652/0083>} {<AI95-00047-01AI95-00047-01>}
          Corrigendum: Clarified that user-defined Read and Write
          attributes are required for the primitive subprograms
          corresponding to a remote access-to-class-wide type.

20.f/2
          {<8652/00828652/0082>} {<AI95-00164-01AI95-00164-01>}
          Corrigendum: Added missing wording so that a remote access
          type can designate an appropriate private extension.

20.g/2
          {<AI95-00366-01AI95-00366-01>} Changed the wording to use the
          newly defined term <type that supports external streaming>, so
          that various issues with access types in pure units and
          implicitly declared attributes for type extensions are
          properly handled.

20.h/2
          {<AI95-00366-01AI95-00366-01>} Defined Storage_Size to be 0
          for remote access-to-class-wide types, rather than having it
          undefined.  This eliminates issues with pure units requiring a
          defined storage size.

20.i/2
          {<AI95-00431-01AI95-00431-01>} Corrected the wording so that a
          value of a local access-to-subprogram type cannot be converted
          to a remote access-to-subprogram type, as intended (and
          required by the ACATS).

                   _Incompatibilities With Ada 2005_

20.j/4
          {<AI05-0101-1AI05-0101-1>} {<AI12-0005-1AI12-0005-1>}
          Correction: Added rules for returning of remote
          access-to-class-wide types; this had been missed in the past.
          While programs that returned unstreamable types from RCI
          functions were legal, it is not clear what they could have
          done (as the results could not be marshalled).  Similarly, RCI
          functions that return remote controlling access types could
          try to save those values, but it is unlikely that a compiler
          would know how to do that usefully.  Thus, it seems unlikely
          that any real programs will be impacted by these changes.

                       _Extensions to Ada 2005_

20.k/3
          {<AI05-0060-1AI05-0060-1>} Correction: Clarified that
          anonymous access types are never remote access types (and can
          be used in remote types units subject to the normal
          restrictions).  Added wording to allow limited class-wide
          interfaces to be designated by remote access types.

20.l/3
          {<AI05-0206-1AI05-0206-1>} Added wording to allow private
          withs of preelaborated normal units in the specification of a
          remote types unit.

20.m/3
          {<AI05-0243-1AI05-0243-1>} Remote_Types is now a
          categorization aspect, so it can be specified by an
          aspect_specification -- although the pragma is still preferred
          by the Standard.

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2012_

20.n/4
          {<AI12-0034-1AI12-0034-1>} Corrigendum: Clarified that
          dispatching remote stream attribute calls are prohibited.  We
          don't document this as an incompatibility, as the stream
          parameter cannot be marshalled for a remote call (it doesn't
          have external streaming), so it's impossible that any working
          program depends on this functionality.

20.o/4
          {<AI12-0076-1AI12-0076-1>} Corrigendum: Explicitly stated that
          modifying a visible constant in a remote types package is
          erroneous.  We don't document this as inconsistent as
          implementations certainly can still do whatever they were
          previously doing (no change is required); moreover, this case
          (and many more) were erroneous in Ada 2005 and before, so
          we're just restoring the previous semantics.

20.p/4
          {<AI12-0085-1AI12-0085-1>} Corrigendum: Clarified that
          specifying the Storage_Pool or Storage_Size aspect for an
          access-to-class-wide type is not allowed.  The intent is
          clear, and no implementation has ever allowed specifying the
          aspects (the attributes already cannot be specified), so we
          don't document this as an incompatibility.

E.2.3 Remote Call Interface Library Units
-----------------------------------------

1
[A remote call interface library unit can be used as an interface for
remote procedure calls (RPCs) (or remote function calls) between active
partitions.]

                     _Language Design Principles_

1.a
          The restrictions governing a remote call interface library
          unit are intended to ensure that the values of the actual
          parameters in a remote call can be meaningfully sent between
          two active partitions.

                               _Syntax_

2
     The form of a pragma Remote_Call_Interface is as follows:

3
       pragma Remote_Call_Interface[(<library_unit_>name)];

4
     The form of a pragma All_Calls_Remote is as follows:

5
       pragma All_Calls_Remote[(<library_unit_>name)];

6
     A pragma All_Calls_Remote is a library unit pragma.

                           _Legality Rules_

7/3
{<8652/00788652/0078>} {<AI95-00048-01AI95-00048-01>}
{<AI05-0243-1AI05-0243-1>} A pragma Remote_Call_Interface is used to
specify that a library unit is a <remote call interface (RCI)>, namely
that the Remote_Call_Interface aspect of the library unit is True.  A
subprogram declared in the visible part of such a library unit, or
declared by such a library unit, is called a <remote subprogram>.

7.a/3
          Aspect Description for Remote_Call_Interface: Subprograms in a
          given package may be used in remote procedure calls.

8/3
{<AI05-0206-1AI05-0206-1>} {<AI05-0243-1AI05-0243-1>} The declaration of
an RCI library unit shall be preelaborable (see *note 10.2.1::), and
shall depend semantically only upon declared pure library_items, shared
passive library units, remote types library units, other remote call
interface library units, or preelaborated normal library units that are
mentioned only in private with clauses.

8.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0243-1AI05-0243-1>} We say declared pure
          library_item here, so that (all) limited views are allowed;
          those are not library units, but they are declared pure
          library_items.

9/1
{<8652/00788652/0078>} {<AI95-00048-01AI95-00048-01>} In addition, the
following restrictions apply to an RCI library unit:

10/1
   * {<8652/00788652/0078>} {<AI95-00048-01AI95-00048-01>} its visible
     part shall not contain the declaration of a variable;

10.a/1
          Reason: {<8652/00788652/0078>} {<AI95-00048-01AI95-00048-01>}
          Remote call interface units do not provide remote data access.
          A shared passive package has to be used for that.

11/1
   * {<8652/00788652/0078>} {<AI95-00048-01AI95-00048-01>} its visible
     part shall not contain the declaration of a limited type;

11.a/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00240-01AI95-00240-01>}
          {<AI95-00366-01AI95-00366-01>} We disallow the declaration of
          task and protected types, since calling an entry or a
          protected subprogram implicitly passes an object of a limited
          type (the target task or protected object).  We disallow other
          limited types since we require that such types have available
          Read and Write attributes, but we certainly don't want the
          Read and Write attributes themselves to involve remote calls
          (thereby defeating their purpose of marshalling the value for
          remote calls).

12/1
   * {<8652/00788652/0078>} {<AI95-00048-01AI95-00048-01>} its visible
     part shall not contain a nested generic_declaration;

12.a
          Reason: This is disallowed because the body of the nested
          generic would presumably have access to data inside the body
          of the RCI package, and if instantiated in a different
          partition, remote data access might result, which is not
          supported.

13/3
   * {<8652/00788652/0078>} {<AI95-00048-01AI95-00048-01>}
     {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} it shall not be, nor shall its visible
     part contain, the declaration of a subprogram for which aspect
     Inline is True;

14/3
   * {<8652/00788652/0078>} {<AI95-00048-01AI95-00048-01>}
     {<AI95-00240-01AI95-00240-01>} {<AI95-00366-01AI95-00366-01>}
     {<AI05-0101-1AI05-0101-1>} it shall not be, nor shall its visible
     part contain, a subprogram (or access-to-subprogram) declaration
     whose profile has a parameter or result of a type that does not
     support external streaming (see *note 13.13.2::);

14.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0101-1AI05-0101-1>} No anonymous access
          types support external streaming, so they are never allowed as
          parameters or results of RCI subprograms.

15
   * any public child of the library unit shall be a remote call
     interface library unit.

15.a
          Reason: No restrictions apply to the private part of an RCI
          package, and since a public child can "see" the private part
          of its parent, such a child must itself have a
          Remote_Call_Interface pragma, and be assigned to the same
          partition (see below).

15.b
          Discussion: We considered making the public child of an RCI
          package implicitly RCI, but it seemed better to require an
          explicit pragma to avoid any confusion.

15.c
          Note that there is no need for a private child to be an RCI
          package, since it can only be seen from the body of its parent
          or its siblings, all of which are required to be in the same
          active partition.

16/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} A pragma All_Calls_Remote sets the
All_Calls_Remote representation aspect of the library unit to which the
pragma applies to the value True.  If the All_Calls_Remote aspect of a
library unit is True, the library unit shall be a remote call interface.

16.a/4
          Aspect Description for All_Calls_Remote: All indirect or
          dispatching remote subprogram calls and all direct remote
          subprogram calls should use the Partition Communication
          Subsystem.

                       _Post-Compilation Rules_

17
A remote call interface library unit shall be assigned to at most one
partition of a given program.  A remote call interface library unit
whose parent is also an RCI library unit shall be assigned only to the
same partition as its parent.

17.a/1
          Implementation Note: {<8652/00788652/0078>}
          {<AI95-00048-01AI95-00048-01>} The declaration of an RCI unit,
          with a calling-stub body, is automatically included in all
          active partitions with compilation units that depend on it.
          However the whole RCI library unit, including its (non-stub)
          body, will only be in one of the active partitions.

18
Notwithstanding the rule given in *note 10.2::, a compilation unit in a
given partition that semantically depends on the declaration of an RCI
library unit, <needs> (in the sense of *note 10.2::) only the
declaration of the RCI library unit, not the body, to be included in
that same partition.  [Therefore, the body of an RCI library unit is
included only in the partition to which the RCI library unit is
explicitly assigned.]

                     _Implementation Requirements_

19/4
{<8652/00788652/0078>} {<AI95-00048-01AI95-00048-01>}
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} {<AI12-0031-1AI12-0031-1>} If aspect
All_Calls_Remote is True for a given RCI library unit, then the
implementation shall route any of the following calls through the
Partition Communication Subsystem (PCS); see *note E.5:::

19.1/4
   * {<AI12-0031-1AI12-0031-1>} A direct call to a subprogram of the RCI
     unit from outside the declarative region of the unit;

19.2/4
   * {<AI12-0031-1AI12-0031-1>} An indirect call through a remote
     access-to-subprogram value that designates a subprogram of the RCI
     unit;

19.3/4
   * {<AI12-0031-1AI12-0031-1>} A dispatching call with a controlling
     operand designated by a remote access-to-class-wide value whose tag
     identifies a type declared in the RCI unit.

19.a/4
          Discussion: {<8652/00788652/0078>}
          {<AI95-00048-01AI95-00048-01>} {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>}
          {<AI12-0031-1AI12-0031-1>} When this aspect is False (or not
          used), it is presumed that most implementations will not make
          calls through the PCS if the call originates in the same
          partition as that of the RCI unit.  When this aspect is True,
          all indirect or dispatching remote subprogram calls to the RCI
          unit and all direct calls from outside the subsystem rooted at
          the RCI unit are treated like calls from outside the
          partition, ensuring that the PCS is involved in all such calls
          (for debugging, redundancy, etc.).

19.b/4
          Reason: {<AI12-0031-1AI12-0031-1>} There is no point to force
          local direct calls (including calls from children) to go
          through the PCS, since on the target system these calls are
          always local, and all the units are in the same active
          partition.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

20/3
{<AI05-0243-1AI05-0243-1>} An implementation need not support the
Remote_Call_Interface pragma or aspect nor the All_Calls_Remote pragma.
[Explicit message-based communication between active partitions can be
supported as an alternative to RPC.]

20.a
          Ramification: Of course, it is pointless to support the
          All_Calls_Remote pragma if the Remote_Call_Interface pragma
          (or some approximate equivalent) is not supported.

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 95_

20.b/3
          {<AI95-00240-01AI95-00240-01>} {<AI05-0248-1AI05-0248-1>}
          Amendment Correction: The wording was changed from
          "user-specified" to "available" read and write attributes.
          (This was then further changed, see below.)  This means that a
          type with the attributes specified in the private part would
          originally have been allowed as a formal parameter of an RCI
          subprogram, but that is no longer allowed.  This change was
          made so that the rules were consistent with the rules
          introduced for the Corrigendum for stream attributes;
          moreover, legality should not depend on the contents of the
          private part.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

          Corrigendum: Changed the wording to allow a library subprogram
          to be a remote call interface unit.

20.d/2
          {<AI95-00366-01AI95-00366-01>} Changed the wording to use the
          newly defined term <type that supports external streaming>, so
          that various issues with access types in pure units and
          implicitly declared attributes for type extensions are
          properly handled.

                   _Incompatibilities With Ada 2005_

20.e/3
          {<AI05-0101-1AI05-0101-1>} Correction: Added a rule to ensure
          that function results are streamable; this was missing in
          previous versions of Ada.  While programs that returned
          unstreamable types from RCI functions were legal, it is not
          clear what they could have done (as the results could not be
          marshalled).  Thus, it seems unlikely that any real programs
          will be impacted by this change.

                       _Extensions to Ada 2005_

20.f/3
          {<AI05-0206-1AI05-0206-1>} Added wording to allow private
          withs of preelaborated normal units in the specification of a
          remote call interface unit.

                    _Inconsistencies With Ada 2012_

20.i/4
          {<AI12-0031-1AI12-0031-1>} Corrigendum: Redefined when
          indirect and dispatching remote calls have to be remote for a
          unit for which the aspect All_Calls_Remote is True.  With the
          new rules, a local target called indirectly or via dispatching
          will be routed through the PCS, while that was not necessarily
          true in earlier Ada.  If a program depended on local targets
          not being routed through the PCS even when All_Calls_Remote is
          used, then it might behave differently or fail in corrected
          Ada 2012.  This is highly unlikely as PCS is going to be able
          to communicate with any partition of the program, including
          the local partition.

E.3 Consistency of a Distributed System
=======================================

1/3
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} [This subclause defines attributes and rules
associated with verifying the consistency of a distributed program.]

                     _Language Design Principles_

1.a/3
          {<AI05-0248-1AI05-0248-1>} The rules guarantee that remote
          call interface and shared passive library units are consistent
          among all partitions prior to the execution of a distributed
          program, so that the semantics of the distributed program are
          well defined.

                          _Static Semantics_

2/1
For a prefix P that statically denotes a program unit, the following
attributes are defined:

3
P'Version
               Yields a value of the predefined type String that
               identifies the version of the compilation unit that
               contains the declaration of the program unit.

4
P'Body_Version
               Yields a value of the predefined type String that
               identifies the version of the compilation unit that
               contains the body (but not any subunits) of the program
               unit.

5/1
{<8652/00848652/0084>} {<AI95-00104-01AI95-00104-01>} The <version> of a
compilation unit changes whenever the compilation unit changes in a
semantically significant way.  This International Standard does not
define the exact meaning of "semantically significant".  It is
unspecified whether there are other events (such as recompilation) that
result in the version of a compilation unit changing.  

5.a/1
          <This paragraph was deleted.>

5.1/1
{<8652/00848652/0084>} {<AI95-00104-01AI95-00104-01>} If P is not a
library unit, and P has no completion, then P'Body_Version returns the
Body_Version of the innermost program unit enclosing the declaration of
P. If P is a library unit, and P has no completion, then P'Body_Version
returns a value that is different from Body_Version of any version of P
that has a completion.

                      _Bounded (Run-Time) Errors_

6
In a distributed program, a library unit is <consistent> if the same
version of its declaration is used throughout.  It is a bounded error to
elaborate a partition of a distributed program that contains a
compilation unit that depends on a different version of the declaration
of a shared passive or RCI library unit than that included in the
partition to which the shared passive or RCI library unit was assigned.As a result of this error, Program_Error can be raised in one or both
partitions during elaboration; in any case, the partitions become
inaccessible to one another.

6.a
          Ramification: Because a version changes if anything on which
          it depends undergoes a version change, requiring consistency
          for shared passive and remote call interface library units is
          sufficient to ensure consistency for the declared pure and
          remote types library units that define the types used for the
          objects and parameters through which interpartition
          communication takes place.

6.b
          Note that we do not require matching Body_Versions; it is
          irrelevant for shared passive and remote call interface
          packages, since only one copy of their body exists in a
          distributed program (in the absence of implicit replication),
          and we allow the bodies to differ for declared pure and remote
          types packages from partition to partition, presuming that the
          differences are due to required error corrections that took
          place during the execution of a long-running distributed
          program.  The Body_Version attribute provides a means for
          performing stricter consistency checks.

E.4 Remote Subprogram Calls
===========================

1
A <remote subprogram call> is a subprogram call that invokes the
execution of a subprogram in another partition.  The partition that
originates the remote subprogram call is the <calling partition>, and
the partition that executes the corresponding subprogram body is the
<called partition>.  Some remote procedure calls are allowed to return
prior to the completion of subprogram execution.  These are called
<asynchronous remote procedure calls>.

2
There are three different ways of performing a remote subprogram call:

3
   * As a direct call on a (remote) subprogram explicitly declared in a
     remote call interface;

4
   * As an indirect call through a value of a remote
     access-to-subprogram type;

5
   * As a dispatching call with a controlling operand designated by a
     value of a remote access-to-class-wide type.

6
The first way of calling corresponds to a <static> binding between the
calling and the called partition.  The latter two ways correspond to a
<dynamic> binding between the calling and the called partition.

7/3
{<AI05-0101-1AI05-0101-1>} Remote types library units (see *note
E.2.2::) and remote call interface library units (see *note E.2.3::)
define the remote subprograms or remote access types used for remote
subprogram calls.

                     _Language Design Principles_

7.a
          Remote subprogram calls are standardized since the RPC
          paradigm is widely-used, and establishing an interface to it
          in the annex will increase the portability and reusability of
          distributed programs.

                           _Legality Rules_

8
In a dispatching call with two or more controlling operands, if one
controlling operand is designated by a value of a remote
access-to-class-wide type, then all shall be.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

9
For the execution of a remote subprogram call, subprogram parameters
(and later the results, if any) are passed using a stream-oriented
representation (see *note 13.13.1::) [which is suitable for transmission
between partitions].  This action is called <marshalling>.
<Unmarshalling> is the reverse action of reconstructing the parameters
or results from the stream-oriented representation.  [Marshalling is
performed initially as part of the remote subprogram call in the calling
partition; unmarshalling is done in the called partition.  After the
remote subprogram completes, marshalling is performed in the called
partition, and finally unmarshalling is done in the calling partition.]

10
A <calling stub> is the sequence of code that replaces the subprogram
body of a remotely called subprogram in the calling partition.  A
<receiving stub> is the sequence of code (the "wrapper") that receives a
remote subprogram call on the called partition and invokes the
appropriate subprogram body.

10.a
          Discussion: The use of the term <stub> in this annex should
          not be confused with body_stub as defined in *note 10.1.3::.
          The term <stub> is used here because it is a commonly
          understood term when talking about the RPC paradigm.

11
Remote subprogram calls are executed at most once, that is, if the
subprogram call returns normally, then the called subprogram's body was
executed exactly once.

12
The task executing a remote subprogram call blocks until the subprogram
in the called partition returns, unless the call is asynchronous.  For
an asynchronous remote procedure call, the calling task can become ready
before the procedure in the called partition returns.

13
If a construct containing a remote call is aborted, the remote
subprogram call is <cancelled>.  Whether the execution of the remote
subprogram is immediately aborted as a result of the cancellation is
implementation defined.

13.a
          Implementation defined: Whether the execution of the remote
          subprogram is immediately aborted as a result of cancellation.

14
If a remote subprogram call is received by a called partition before the
partition has completed its elaboration, the call is kept pending until
the called partition completes its elaboration (unless the call is
cancelled by the calling partition prior to that).

15
If an exception is propagated by a remotely called subprogram, and the
call is not an asynchronous call, the corresponding exception is
reraised at the point of the remote subprogram call.  For an
asynchronous call, if the remote procedure call returns prior to the
completion of the remotely called subprogram, any exception is lost.

16
The exception Communication_Error (see *note E.5::) is raised if a
remote call cannot be completed due to difficulties in communicating
with the called partition.

17
All forms of remote subprogram calls are potentially blocking operations
(see *note 9.5.1::).

17.a
          Reason: Asynchronous remote procedure calls are potentially
          blocking since the implementation may require waiting for the
          availability of shared resources to initiate the remote call.

18/1
{<8652/00858652/0085>} {<AI95-00215-01AI95-00215-01>} In a remote
subprogram call with a formal parameter of a class-wide type, a check is
made that the tag of the actual parameter identifies a tagged type
declared in a declared-pure or shared passive library unit, or in the
visible part of a remote types or remote call interface library unit.
Program_Error is raised if this check fails.  In a remote function call
which returns a class-wide type, the same check is made on the function
result.

18.a/1
          Discussion: {<8652/00858652/0085>}
          {<AI95-00215-01AI95-00215-01>} This check makes certain that
          the specific type passed or returned in an RPC satisfies the
          rules for a "communicable" type.  Normally this is guaranteed
          by the compile-time restrictions on remote call interfaces.
          However, with class-wide types, it is possible to pass an
          object whose tag identifies a type declared outside the "safe"
          packages.

18.b
          This is considered an accessibility_check since only the types
          declared in "safe" packages are considered truly "global"
          (cross-partition).  Other types are local to a single
          partition.  This is analogous to the "accessibility" of global
          vs.  local declarations in a single-partition program.

18.c
          This rule replaces a rule from an early version of Ada 9X
          which was given in the subclause on Remote Types Library Units
          (now *note E.2.2::, "*note E.2.2:: Remote Types Library
          Units").  That rule tried to prevent "bad" types from being
          sent by arranging for their tags to mismatch between
          partitions.  However, that interfered with other uses of tags.
          The new rule allows tags to agree in all partitions, even for
          those types which are not "safe" to pass in an RPC.

19
In a dispatching call with two or more controlling operands that are
designated by values of a remote access-to-class-wide type, a check is
made [(in addition to the normal Tag_Check -- see *note 11.5::)] that
all the remote access-to-class-wide values originated from Access
attribute_references that were evaluated by tasks of the same active
partition.  Constraint_Error is raised if this check fails.

19.a
          Implementation Note: When a remote access-to-class-wide value
          is created by an Access attribute_reference, the identity of
          the active partition that evaluated the attribute_reference
          should be recorded in the representation of the remote access
          value.

                     _Implementation Requirements_

20
The implementation of remote subprogram calls shall conform to the PCS
interface as defined by the specification of the language-defined
package System.RPC (see *note E.5::).  The calling stub shall use the
Do_RPC procedure unless the remote procedure call is asynchronous in
which case Do_APC shall be used.  On the receiving side, the
corresponding receiving stub shall be invoked by the RPC-receiver.

20.a
          Implementation Note: One possible implementation model is as
          follows:

20.b
          The code for calls to subprograms declared in an RCI package
          is generated normally, that is, the call-site is the same as
          for a local subprogram call.  The code for the remotely
          callable subprogram bodies is also generated normally.
          Subprogram's prologue and epilogue are the same as for a local
          call.

20.c
          When compiling the specification of an RCI package, the
          compiler generates calling stubs for each visible subprogram.
          Similarly, when compiling the body of an RCI package, the
          compiler generates receiving stubs for each visible subprogram
          together with the appropriate tables to allow the RPC-receiver
          to locate the correct receiving stub.

20.d
          For the statically bound remote calls, the identity of the
          remote partition is statically determined (it is resolved at
          configuration/link time).

20.e
          The calling stub operates as follows:

20.f
             * It allocates (or reuses) a stream of Params_Stream_Type
               of Initial_Size, and initializes it by repeatedly calling
               Write operations, first to identify which remote
               subprogram in the receiving partition is being called,
               and then to pass the incoming value of each of the in and
               in out parameters of the call.

20.g/3
             * {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} It allocates (or reuses) a
               stream for the Result, unless an aspect Asynchronous is
               specified as True for the procedure.

20.h/3
             * {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} It calls Do_RPC unless an
               aspect Asynchronous is specified as True for the
               procedure in which case it calls Do_APC. An access value
               designating the message stream allocated and initialized
               above is passed as the Params parameter.  An access value
               designating the Result stream is passed as the Result
               parameter.

20.i/3
             * {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} If the aspect Asynchronous is
               not specified for the procedure, Do_RPC blocks until a
               reply message arrives, and then returns to the calling
               stub.  The stub returns after extracting from the Result
               stream, using Read operations, the in out and out
               parameters or the function result.  If the reply message
               indicates that the execution of the remote subprogram
               propagated an exception, the exception is propagated from
               Do_RPC to the calling stub, and thence to the point of
               the original remote subprogram call.  If Do_RPC detects
               that communication with the remote partition has failed,
               it propagates Communication_Error.

20.j
          On the receiving side, the RPC-receiver procedure operates as
          follows:

20.k
             * It is called from the PCS when a remote-subprogram-call
               message is received.  The call originates in some remote
               call receiver task executed and managed in the context of
               the PCS.

20.l
             * It extracts information from the stream to identify the
               appropriate receiving stub.

20.m
             * The receiving stub extracts the in and in out parameters
               using Read from the stream designated by the Params
               parameter.

20.n
             * The receiving stub calls the actual subprogram body and,
               upon completion of the subprogram, uses Write to insert
               the results into the stream pointed to by the Result
               parameter.  The receiving stub returns to the
               RPC-receiver procedure which in turn returns to the PCS.
               If the actual subprogram body propagates an exception, it
               is propagated by the RPC-receiver to the PCS, which
               handles the exception, and indicates in the reply message
               that the execution of the subprogram body propagated an
               exception.  The exception occurrence can be represented
               in the reply message using the Write attribute of
               Ada.Exceptions.Exception_Occurrence.

20.o
          For remote access-to-subprogram types:

20.p
          A value of a remote access-to-subprogram type can be
          represented by the following components: a reference to the
          remote partition, an index to the package containing the
          remote subprogram, and an index to the subprogram within the
          package.  The values of these components are determined at run
          time when the remote access value is created.  These three
          components serve the same purpose when calling Do_APC/RPC, as
          in the statically bound remote calls; the only difference is
          that they are evaluated dynamically.

20.q
          For remote access-to-class-wide types:

20.r
          For each remote access-to-class-wide type, a calling stub is
          generated for each dispatching operation of the designated
          type.  In addition, receiving stubs are generated to perform
          the remote dispatching operations in the called partition.
          The appropriate subprogram_body is determined as for a local
          dispatching call once the receiving stub has been reached.

20.s
          A value of a remote access-to-class-wide type can be
          represented with the following components: a reference to the
          remote partition, an index to a table (created one per each
          such access type) containing addresses of all the dispatching
          operations of the designated type, and an access value
          designating the actual remote object.

20.t
          Alternatively, a remote access-to-class-wide value can be
          represented as a normal access value, pointing to a "stub"
          object which in turn contains the information mentioned above.
          A call on any dispatching operation of such a stub object does
          the remote call, if necessary, using the information in the
          stub object to locate the target partition, etc.  This
          approach has the advantage that less special-casing is
          required in the compiler.  All access values can remain just a
          simple address.

20.u
          For a call to Do_RPC or Do_APC: The partition ID of all
          controlling operands are checked for equality (a
          Constraint_Error is raised if this check fails).  The
          partition ID value is used for the Partition parameter.  An
          index into the <tagged-type-descriptor> is created.  This
          index points to the receiving stub of the class-wide
          operation.  This index and the index to the table (described
          above) are written to the stream.  Then, the actual parameters
          are marshalled into the message stream.  For a controlling
          operand, only the access value designating the remote object
          is required (the other two components are already present in
          the other parameters).

20.v
          On the called partition (after the RPC-receiver has
          transferred control to the appropriate receiving stub) the
          parameters are first unmarshalled.  Then, the tags of the
          controlling operands (obtained by dereferencing the pointer to
          the object) are checked for equality.  If the check fails
          Constraint_Error is raised and propagated back to the calling
          partition, unless it is a result of an asynchronous call.
          Finally, a dispatching call to the specific subprogram (based
          on the controlling object's tag) is made.  Note that since
          this subprogram is not in an RCI package, no specific stub is
          generated for it, it is called normally from the <dispatching
          stub>.

20.1/1
{<8652/00868652/0086>} {<AI95-00159-01AI95-00159-01>} With respect to
shared variables in shared passive library units, the execution of the
corresponding subprogram body of a synchronous remote procedure call is
considered to be part of the execution of the calling task.  The
execution of the corresponding subprogram body of an asynchronous remote
procedure call proceeds in parallel with the calling task and does not
signal the next action of the calling task (see *note 9.10::).

     NOTES

21
     8  A given active partition can both make and receive remote
     subprogram calls.  Thus, an active partition can act as both a
     client and a server.

22
     9  If a given exception is propagated by a remote subprogram call,
     but the exception does not exist in the calling partition, the
     exception can be handled by an others choice or be propagated to
     and handled by a third partition.

22.a
          Discussion: This situation can happen in a case of dynamically
          nested remote subprogram calls, where an intermediate call
          executes in a partition that does not include the library unit
          that defines the exception.

E.4.1 Asynchronous Remote Calls
-------------------------------

1/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} [This subclause introduces the aspect
Asynchronous which can be specified to allow a remote subprogram call to
return prior to completion of the execution of the corresponding remote
subprogram body.]

<Paragraphs 2 through 7 were deleted.>

                          _Static Semantics_

8/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} For a remote procedure, the following
language-defined representation aspect may be specified:

8.1/3
Asynchronous
               The type of aspect Asynchronous is Boolean.  If directly
               specified, the aspect_definition shall be a static
               expression.  If not specified, the aspect is False.

8.a/3
          Aspect Description for Asynchronous: Remote procedure calls
          are asynchronous; the caller continues without waiting for the
          call to return.

8.2/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} For a remote access type, the following
language-defined representation aspect may be specified:

8.3/3
Asynchronous
               The type of aspect Asynchronous is Boolean.  If directly
               specified, the aspect_definition shall be a static
               expression.  If not specified (including by inheritance),
               the aspect is False.

                           _Legality Rules_

8.4/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} If aspect Asynchronous is specified for a
remote procedure, the formal parameters of the procedure shall all be of
mode in.

8.5/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} If aspect Asynchronous is specified for a
remote access type, the type shall be a remote access-to-class-wide
type, or the type shall be a remote access-to-procedure type with the
formal parameters of the designated profile of the type all of mode in.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

9/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} A remote call is <asynchronous> if it is a
call to a procedure, or a call through a value of an access-to-procedure
type, for which aspect Asynchronous is True.  In addition, if aspect
Asynchronous is True for a remote access-to-class-wide type, then a
dispatching call on a procedure with a controlling operand designated by
a value of the type is asynchronous if the formal parameters of the
procedure are all of mode in.

                     _Implementation Requirements_

10
Asynchronous remote procedure calls shall be implemented such that the
corresponding body executes at most once as a result of the call.

10.a
          To be honest: It is not clear that this rule can be tested or
          even defined formally.

E.4.2 Example of Use of a Remote Access-to-Class-Wide Type
----------------------------------------------------------

                              _Examples_

1
<Example of using a remote access-to-class-wide type to achieve dynamic
binding across active partitions:>

2
     package Tapes is
        pragma Pure(Tapes);
        type Tape is abstract tagged limited private;
        <-- Primitive dispatching operations where>
        <-- Tape is controlling operand>
        procedure Copy (From, To : access Tape; Num_Recs : in Natural) is abstract;
        procedure Rewind (T : access Tape) is abstract;
        <-- More operations>
     private
        type Tape is ...
     end Tapes;

3
     with Tapes;
     package Name_Server is
        pragma Remote_Call_Interface;
        <-- Dynamic binding to remote operations is achieved>
        <-- using the access-to-limited-class-wide type Tape_Ptr>
        type Tape_Ptr is access all Tapes.Tape'Class;
        <-- The following statically bound remote operations>
        <-- allow for a name-server capability in this example>
        function  Find     (Name : String) return Tape_Ptr;
        procedure Register (Name : in String; T : in Tape_Ptr);
        procedure Remove   (T : in Tape_Ptr);
        <-- More operations>
     end Name_Server;

4
     package Tape_Driver is
       <-- Declarations are not shown, they are irrelevant here>
     end Tape_Driver;

5
     with Tapes, Name_Server;
     package body Tape_Driver is
        type New_Tape is new Tapes.Tape with ...
        procedure Copy
         (From, To : access New_Tape; Num_Recs: in Natural) is
        begin
          . . .
        end Copy;
        procedure Rewind (T : access New_Tape) is
        begin
           . . .
        end Rewind;
        <-- Objects remotely accessible through use>
        <-- of Name_Server operations>
        Tape1, Tape2 : aliased New_Tape;
     begin
        Name_Server.Register ("NINE-TRACK",  Tape1'Access);
        Name_Server.Register ("SEVEN-TRACK", Tape2'Access);
     end Tape_Driver;

6
     with Tapes, Name_Server;
     <-- Tape_Driver is not needed and thus not mentioned in the with_clause>
     procedure Tape_Client is
        T1, T2 : Name_Server.Tape_Ptr;
     begin
        T1 := Name_Server.Find ("NINE-TRACK");
        T2 := Name_Server.Find ("SEVEN-TRACK");
        Tapes.Rewind (T1);
        Tapes.Rewind (T2);
        Tapes.Copy (T1, T2, 3);
     end Tape_Client;

7
<Notes on the example>:

7.a
          Discussion: The example does not show the case where tapes are
          removed from or added to the system.  In the former case, an
          appropriate exception needs to be defined to instruct the
          client to use another tape.  In the latter, the Name_Server
          should have a query function visible to the clients to inform
          them about the availability of the tapes in the system.

8/1
<This paragraph was deleted.>

9
   * The package Tapes provides the necessary declarations of the type
     and its primitive operations.

10
   * Name_Server is a remote call interface package and is elaborated in
     a separate active partition to provide the necessary naming
     services (such as Register and Find) to the entire distributed
     program through remote subprogram calls.

11
   * Tape_Driver is a normal package that is elaborated in a partition
     configured on the processing node that is connected to the tape
     device(s).  The abstract operations are overridden to support the
     locally declared tape devices (Tape1, Tape2).  The package is not
     visible to its clients, but it exports the tape devices (as remote
     objects) through the services of the Name_Server.  This allows for
     tape devices to be dynamically added, removed or replaced without
     requiring the modification of the clients' code.

12
   * The Tape_Client procedure references only declarations in the Tapes
     and Name_Server packages.  Before using a tape for the first time,
     it needs to query the Name_Server for a system-wide identity for
     that tape.  From then on, it can use that identity to access the
     tape device.

13
   * Values of remote access type Tape_Ptr include the necessary
     information to complete the remote dispatching operations that
     result from dereferencing the controlling operands T1 and T2.

E.5 Partition Communication Subsystem
=====================================

1/2
{<AI95-00273-01AI95-00273-01>} [The <Partition Communication Subsystem>
(PCS) provides facilities for supporting communication between the
active partitions of a distributed program.  The package System.RPC is a
language-defined interface to the PCS.]

1.a
          Reason: The prefix RPC is used rather than RSC because the
          term remote procedure call and its acronym are more familiar.

                          _Static Semantics_

2
The following language-defined library package exists:

3
     with Ada.Streams; <-- see *note 13.13.1::>
     package System.RPC is

4
        type Partition_Id is range 0 .. <implementation-defined>;

5
        Communication_Error : exception;

6
        type Params_Stream_Type (
           Initial_Size : Ada.Streams.Stream_Element_Count) is new
           Ada.Streams.Root_Stream_Type with private;

7
        procedure Read(
           Stream : in out Params_Stream_Type;
           Item : out Ada.Streams.Stream_Element_Array;
           Last : out Ada.Streams.Stream_Element_Offset);

8
        procedure Write(
           Stream : in out Params_Stream_Type;
           Item : in Ada.Streams.Stream_Element_Array);

9
        <-- Synchronous call>
        procedure Do_RPC(
           Partition  : in Partition_Id;
           Params     : access Params_Stream_Type;
           Result     : access Params_Stream_Type);

10
        <-- Asynchronous call>
        procedure Do_APC(
           Partition  : in Partition_Id;
           Params     : access Params_Stream_Type);

11
        <-- The handler for incoming RPCs>
        type RPC_Receiver is access procedure(
           Params     : access Params_Stream_Type;
           Result     : access Params_Stream_Type);

12
        procedure Establish_RPC_Receiver(
           Partition : in Partition_Id;
           Receiver  : in RPC_Receiver);

13
     private
        ... -- <not specified by the language>
     end System.RPC;

14
A value of the type Partition_Id is used to identify a partition.

14.a/2
          Implementation defined: The range of type
          System.RPC.Partition_Id.

15
An object of the type Params_Stream_Type is used for identifying the
particular remote subprogram that is being called, as well as
marshalling and unmarshalling the parameters or result of a remote
subprogram call, as part of sending them between partitions.

16
[The Read and Write procedures override the corresponding abstract
operations for the type Params_Stream_Type.]

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

17
The Do_RPC and Do_APC procedures send a message to the active partition
identified by the Partition parameter.

17.a
          Implementation Note: It is assumed that the RPC interface is
          above the message-passing layer of the network protocol stack
          and is implemented in terms of it.

18
After sending the message, Do_RPC blocks the calling task until a reply
message comes back from the called partition or some error is detected
by the underlying communication system in which case Communication_Error
is raised at the point of the call to Do_RPC.

18.a
          Reason: Only one exception is defined in System.RPC, although
          many sources of errors might exist.  This is so because it is
          not always possible to distinguish among these errors.  In
          particular, it is often impossible to tell the difference
          between a failing communication link and a failing processing
          node.  Additional information might be associated with a
          particular Exception_Occurrence for a Communication_Error.

19
Do_APC operates in the same way as Do_RPC except that it is allowed to
return immediately after sending the message.

20
Upon normal return, the stream designated by the Result parameter of
Do_RPC contains the reply message.

21
The procedure System.RPC.Establish_RPC_Receiver is called once,
immediately after elaborating the library units of an active partition
(that is, right after the <elaboration of the partition>) if the
partition includes an RCI library unit, but prior to invoking the main
subprogram, if any.  The Partition parameter is the Partition_Id of the
active partition being elaborated.  The Receiver parameter designates an
implementation-provided procedure called the <RPC-receiver> which will
handle all RPCs received by the partition from the PCS.
Establish_RPC_Receiver saves a reference to the RPC-receiver; when a
message is received at the called partition, the RPC-receiver is called
with the Params stream containing the message.  When the RPC-receiver
returns, the contents of the stream designated by Result is placed in a
message and sent back to the calling partition.

21.a
          Implementation Note: It is defined by the PCS implementation
          whether one or more threads of control should be available to
          process incoming messages and to wait for their completion.

21.b
          Implementation Note: At link-time, the linker provides the
          RPC-receiver and the necessary tables to support it.  A call
          on Establish_RPC_Receiver is inserted just before the call on
          the main subprogram.

21.c
          Reason: The interface between the PCS (the System.RPC package)
          and the RPC-receiver is defined to be dynamic in order to
          allow the elaboration sequence to notify the PCS that all
          packages have been elaborated and that it is safe to call the
          receiving stubs.  It is not guaranteed that the PCS units will
          be the last to be elaborated, so some other indication that
          elaboration is complete is needed.

22
If a call on Do_RPC is aborted, a cancellation message is sent to the
called partition, to request that the execution of the remotely called
subprogram be aborted.

22.a
          To be honest: The full effects of this message are dependent
          on the implementation of the PCS.

23
The subprograms declared in System.RPC are potentially blocking
operations.

                     _Implementation Requirements_

24
The implementation of the RPC-receiver shall be reentrant[, thereby
allowing concurrent calls on it from the PCS to service concurrent
remote subprogram calls into the partition].

24.a
          Reason: There seems no reason to allow the implementation of
          RPC-receiver to be nonreentrant, even though we don't require
          that every implementation of the PCS actually perform
          concurrent calls on the RPC-receiver.

24.1/1
{<8652/00878652/0087>} {<AI95-00082-01AI95-00082-01>} An implementation
shall not restrict the replacement of the body of System.RPC. An
implementation shall not restrict children of System.RPC. [The related
implementation permissions in the introduction to Annex A do not apply.]

24.a.1/1
          Reason: The point of System.RPC is to let the user tailor the
          communications mechanism without requiring changes to or other
          cooperation from the compiler.  However, implementations can
          restrict the replacement of language-defined units.  This
          requirement overrides that permission for System.RPC.

24.2/1
{<8652/00878652/0087>} {<AI95-00082-01AI95-00082-01>} If the
implementation of System.RPC is provided by the user, an implementation
shall support remote subprogram calls as specified.

24.b/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00273-01AI95-00273-01>} If the
          implementation takes advantage of the implementation
          permission to use a different specification for System.RPC, it
          still needs to use it for remote subprogram calls, and allow
          the user to replace the body of System.RPC. It just isn't
          guaranteed to be portable to do so in Ada 2005 - an advantage
          which was more theoretical than real anyway.

                     _Documentation Requirements_

25
The implementation of the PCS shall document whether the RPC-receiver is
invoked from concurrent tasks.  If there is an upper limit on the number
of such tasks, this limit shall be documented as well, together with the
mechanisms to configure it (if this is supported).

25.a/2
          <This paragraph was deleted.>

25.a.1/2
          Documentation Requirement: Whether the RPC-receiver is invoked
          from concurrent tasks, and if so, the number of such tasks.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

26
The PCS is allowed to contain implementation-defined interfaces for
explicit message passing, broadcasting, etc.  Similarly, it is allowed
to provide additional interfaces to query the state of some remote
partition (given its partition ID) or of the PCS itself, to set timeouts
and retry parameters, to get more detailed error status, etc.  These
additional interfaces should be provided in child packages of
System.RPC.

26.a
          Implementation defined: Implementation-defined interfaces in
          the PCS.

27
A body for the package System.RPC need not be supplied by the
implementation.

27.a
          Reason: It is presumed that a body for the package System.RPC
          might be extremely environment specific.  Therefore, we do not
          require that a body be provided by the (compiler)
          implementation.  The user will have to write a body, or
          acquire one, appropriate for the target environment.

27.1/3
{<AI95-00273-01AI95-00273-01>} {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} An alternative
declaration is allowed for package System.RPC as long as it provides a
set of operations that is substantially equivalent to the specification
defined in this subclause.

27.b/2
          Reason: Experience has proved that the definition of
          System.RPC given here is inadequate for interfacing to
          existing distribution mechanisms (such as CORBA), especially
          on heterogeneous systems.  Rather than mandate a change in the
          mechanism (which would break existing systems), require
          implementations to support multiple mechanisms (which is
          impractical), or prevent the use of Annex E facilities with
          existing systems (which would be silly), we simply make this
          facility optional.

27.c/2
          One of the purposes behind System.RPC was that knowledgeable
          users, rather than compiler vendors, could create this package
          tailored to their networks.  Experience has shown that users
          get their RPC from vendors anyway; users have not taken
          advantage of the flexibility provided by this defined
          interface.  Moreover, one could compare this defined interface
          to requiring Ada compilers to use a defined interface to
          implement tasking.  No one thinks that the latter is a good
          idea, why should anyone believe that the former is?

27.d/3
          {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} Therefore, this subclause is made
          optional.  We considered deleting the subclause outright, but
          we still require that users may replace the package (whatever
          its interface).  Also, it still provides a useful guide to the
          implementation of this feature.

                        _Implementation Advice_

28
Whenever possible, the PCS on the called partition should allow for
multiple tasks to call the RPC-receiver with different messages and
should allow them to block until the corresponding subprogram body
returns.

28.a/2
          Implementation Advice: The PCS should allow for multiple tasks
          to call the RPC-receiver.

29
The Write operation on a stream of type Params_Stream_Type should raise
Storage_Error if it runs out of space trying to write the Item into the
stream.

29.a.1/2
          Implementation Advice: The System.RPC.Write operation should
          raise Storage_Error if it runs out of space when writing an
          item.

29.a
          Implementation Note: An implementation could also dynamically
          allocate more space as needed, only propagating Storage_Error
          if the allocator it calls raises Storage_Error.  This storage
          could be managed through a controlled component of the stream
          object, to ensure that it is reclaimed when the stream object
          is finalized.

     NOTES

30
     10  The package System.RPC is not designed for direct calls by user
     programs.  It is instead designed for use in the implementation of
     remote subprograms calls, being called by the calling stubs
     generated for a remote call interface library unit to initiate a
     remote call, and in turn calling back to an RPC-receiver that
     dispatches to the receiving stubs generated for the body of a
     remote call interface, to handle a remote call received from
     elsewhere.

                    _Incompatibilities With Ada 95_

30.a/2
          {<AI95-00273-01AI95-00273-01>} The specification of System.RPC
          can now be tailored for an implementation.  If a program
          replaces the body of System.RPC with a user-defined body, it
          might not compile in a given implementation of Ada 2005 (if
          the specification of System.RPC has been changed).

7/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} If COBOL (respectively, C) is widely
supported in the target environment, implementations supporting the
Information Systems Annex should provide the child package
Interfaces.COBOL (respectively, Interfaces.C) specified in *note Annex
B:: and should support a <convention_>identifier of COBOL (respectively,
C) for the Convention aspect (see *note Annex B::), thus allowing Ada
programs to interface with programs written in that language.

7.a/2
          Implementation Advice: If COBOL (respectively, C) is supported
          in the target environment, then interfacing to COBOL
          (respectively, C) should be supported as specified in *note
          Annex B::.

F.1 Machine_Radix Attribute Definition Clause
=============================================

                          _Static Semantics_

1
Machine_Radix may be specified for a decimal first subtype (see *note
3.5.9::) via an attribute_definition_clause; the expression of such a
clause shall be static, and its value shall be 2 or 10.  A value of 2
implies a binary base range; a value of 10 implies a decimal base range.

1.a
          Ramification: In the absence of a Machine_Radix clause, the
          choice of 2 versus 10 for S'Machine_Radix is not specified.

1.b/3
          Aspect Description for Machine_Radix: Radix (2 or 10) that is
          used to represent a decimal fixed point type.

                        _Implementation Advice_

2
Packed decimal should be used as the internal representation for objects
of subtype S when S'Machine_Radix = 10.

2.a/2
          Implementation Advice: Packed decimal should be used as the
          internal representation for objects of subtype <S> when
          <S>'Machine_Radix = 10.

2.b/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} The intent of a decimal
          Machine_Radix attribute definition clause is to allow the
          programmer to declare an Ada decimal data object whose
          representation matches a particular COBOL implementation's
          representation of packed decimal items.  The Ada object may
          then be passed to an interfaced COBOL program that takes a
          packed decimal data item as a parameter, assuming that
          convention COBOL has been specified for the Ada object's type
          with an aspect Convention.

2.c
          Additionally, the Ada compiler may choose to generate
          arithmetic instructions that exploit the packed decimal
          representation.

                              _Examples_

<Example of Machine_Radix attribute definition clause:>

     type Money is delta 0.01 digits 15;
     for Money'Machine_Radix use 10;

F.2 The Package Decimal
=======================

                          _Static Semantics_

1
The library package Decimal has the following declaration:

2
     package Ada.Decimal is
        pragma Pure(Decimal);

3
        Max_Scale : constant := <implementation-defined>;
        Min_Scale : constant := <implementation-defined>;

4
        Min_Delta : constant := 10.0**(-Max_Scale);
        Max_Delta : constant := 10.0**(-Min_Scale);

5
        Max_Decimal_Digits : constant := <implementation-defined>;

6/3
     {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>}    generic
           type Dividend_Type  is delta <> digits <>;
           type Divisor_Type   is delta <> digits <>;
           type Quotient_Type  is delta <> digits <>;
           type Remainder_Type is delta <> digits <>;
        procedure Divide (Dividend  : in Dividend_Type;
                          Divisor   : in Divisor_Type;
                          Quotient  : out Quotient_Type;
                          Remainder : out Remainder_Type)
           with Convention => Intrinsic;

7
     end Ada.Decimal;

7.a
          Implementation defined: The values of named numbers in the
          package Decimal.

8
Max_Scale is the largest N such that 10.0**(-N) is allowed as a decimal
type's delta.  Its type is <universal_integer>.

9
Min_Scale is the smallest N such that 10.0**(-N) is allowed as a decimal
type's delta.  Its type is <universal_integer>.

10
Min_Delta is the smallest value allowed for <delta> in a
decimal_fixed_point_definition.  Its type is <universal_real>.

11
Max_Delta is the largest value allowed for <delta> in a
decimal_fixed_point_definition.  Its type is <universal_real>.

12
Max_Decimal_Digits is the largest value allowed for <digits> in a
decimal_fixed_point_definition.  Its type is <universal_integer>.

12.a
          Reason: The name is Max_Decimal_Digits versus Max_Digits, in
          order to avoid confusion with the named number
          System.Max_Digits relevant to floating point.

                          _Static Semantics_

13
The effect of Divide is as follows.  The value of Quotient is
Quotient_Type(Dividend/Divisor).  The value of Remainder is
Remainder_Type(Intermediate), where Intermediate is the difference
between Dividend and the product of Divisor and Quotient; this result is
computed exactly.

                     _Implementation Requirements_

14
Decimal.Max_Decimal_Digits shall be at least 18.

15
Decimal.Max_Scale shall be at least 18.

16
Decimal.Min_Scale shall be at most 0.

     NOTES

17
     1  The effect of division yielding a quotient with control over
     rounding versus truncation is obtained by applying either the
     function attribute Quotient_Type'Round or the conversion
     Quotient_Type to the expression Dividend/Divisor.

F.3 Edited Output for Decimal Types
===================================

1/2
{<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} The child packages Text_IO.Editing,
Wide_Text_IO.Editing, and Wide_Wide_Text_IO.Editing provide localizable
formatted text output, known as <edited output>, for decimal types.  An
edited output string is a function of a numeric value,
program-specifiable locale elements, and a format control value.  The
numeric value is of some decimal type.  The locale elements are:

2
   * the currency string;

3
   * the digits group separator character;

4
   * the radix mark character; and

5
   * the fill character that replaces leading zeros of the numeric
     value.

6/2
{<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} For Text_IO.Editing the edited output and
currency strings are of type String, and the locale characters are of
type Character.  For Wide_Text_IO.Editing their types are Wide_String
and Wide_Character, respectively.  For Wide_Wide_Text_IO.Editing their
types are Wide_Wide_String and Wide_Wide_Character, respectively.

7
Each of the locale elements has a default value that can be replaced or
explicitly overridden.

8
A format-control value is of the private type Picture; it determines the
composition of the edited output string and controls the form and
placement of the sign, the position of the locale elements and the
decimal digits, the presence or absence of a radix mark, suppression of
leading zeros, and insertion of particular character values.

9
A Picture object is composed from a String value, known as a <picture
String>, that serves as a template for the edited output string, and a
Boolean value that controls whether a string of all space characters is
produced when the number's value is zero.  A picture String comprises a
sequence of one- or two-Character symbols, each serving as a placeholder
for a character or string at a corresponding position in the edited
output string.  The picture String symbols fall into several categories
based on their effect on the edited output string:

10
        Decimal Digit:    '9'
        Radix Control:    '.'    'V'
        Sign Control:    '+'    '-'    '<'    '>'    "CR"    "DB"
        Currency Control:    '$'    '#'
        Zero Suppression:    'Z'    '*'
        Simple Insertion:    '_'    'B'    '0'    '/'

11
The entries are not case-sensitive.  Mixed- or lower-case forms for "CR"
and "DB", and lower-case forms for 'V', 'Z', and 'B', have the same
effect as the upper-case symbols shown.

12
An occurrence of a '9' Character in the picture String represents a
decimal digit position in the edited output string.

13
A radix control Character in the picture String indicates the position
of the radix mark in the edited output string: an actual character
position for '.', or an assumed position for 'V'.

14
A sign control Character in the picture String affects the form of the
sign in the edited output string.  The '<' and '>' Character values
indicate parentheses for negative values.  A Character '+', '-', or '<'
appears either singly, signifying a fixed-position sign in the edited
output, or repeated, signifying a floating-position sign that is
preceded by zero or more space characters and that replaces a leading 0.

15
A currency control Character in the picture String indicates an
occurrence of the currency string in the edited output string.  The '$'
Character represents the complete currency string; the '#' Character
represents one character of the currency string.  A '$' Character
appears either singly, indicating a fixed-position currency string in
the edited output, or repeated, indicating a floating-position currency
string that occurs in place of a leading 0.  A sequence of '#' Character
values indicates either a fixed- or floating-position currency string,
depending on context.

16
A zero suppression Character in the picture String allows a leading zero
to be replaced by either the space character (for 'Z') or the fill
character (for '*').

17
A simple insertion Character in the picture String represents, in
general, either itself (if '/' or '0'), the space character (if 'B'), or
the digits group separator character (if '_').  In some contexts it is
treated as part of a floating sign, floating currency, or zero
suppression string.

18/2
{<AI95-00434-01AI95-00434-01>} An example of a picture String is
"<###Z_ZZ9.99>".  If the currency string is "kr", the separator
character is ',', and the radix mark is '.'  then the edited output
string values for the decimal values 32.10 and -5432.10 are
"bbkrbbb32.10b" and "(bkr5,432.10)", respectively, where 'b' indicates
the space character.

19/2
{<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} The generic packages Text_IO.Decimal_IO,
Wide_Text_IO.Decimal_IO, and Wide_Wide_Text_IO.Decimal_IO (see *note
A.10.9::, "*note A.10.9:: Input-Output for Real Types") provide text
input and nonedited text output for decimal types.

     NOTES

     2  {<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} A picture String is of type
     Standard.String, for all of Text_IO.Editing, Wide_Text_IO.Editing,

The following composition constraints apply to a picture String:

   * If a picture String has '<' as fixed_LHS_sign, then it has '>' as
     RHS_sign.

42
   * If a picture String has '<' in a floating_LHS_sign or in an
     all_sign_number, then it has an occurrence of '>'.

43/1
   * {<8652/00888652/0088>} {<AI95-00153AI95-00153>} If a picture String
     has '+' or '-' as fixed_LHS_sign, in a floating_LHS_sign, or in an
     all_sign_number, then it has no RHS_sign or '>' character.

44
   * An instance of all_sign_number does not have occurrences of
     different sign_char Character values.

45
   * An instance of all_currency_number does not have occurrences of
     different currency_char Character values.

46
   * An instance of all_zero_suppression_number does not have
     occurrences of different zero_suppression_char Character values,
     except for possible case differences between 'Z' and 'z'.

47
A <replicable Character> is a Character that, by the above rules, can
occur in two consecutive positions in a picture String.

48
A <Character replication> is a String

49
     <char> & '(' & <spaces> & <count_string> & ')'

50
where <char> is a replicable Character, <spaces> is a String (possibly
empty) comprising only space Character values, and <count_string> is a
String of one or more decimal digit Character values.  A Character
replication in a picture String has the same effect as (and is said to
be <equivalent to>) a String comprising <n> consecutive occurrences of
<char>, where <n>=Integer'Value(<count_string>).

51
An <expanded picture String> is a picture String containing no Character
replications.

51.a
          Discussion: Since 'B' is not allowed after a RHS sign, there
          is no need for a special rule to disallow "9.99DB(2)" as an
          abbreviation for "9.99DBB"

     NOTES

52
     3  Although a sign to the left of the number can float, a sign to
     the right of the number is in a fixed position.

F.3.2 Edited Output Generation
------------------------------

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

1
The contents of an edited output string are based on:

2
   * A value, Item, of some decimal type Num,

3
   * An expanded picture String Pic_String,

4
   * A Boolean value, Blank_When_Zero,

5
   * A Currency string,

6
   * A Fill character,

7
   * A Separator character, and

8
   * A Radix_Mark character.

9
The combination of a True value for Blank_When_Zero and a '*' character
in Pic_String is inconsistent; no edited output string is defined.

9.a/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} Such a Pic_String is
          invalid, and any attempt to use such a string will raise
          Picture_Error.

10
A layout error is identified in the rules below if leading nonzero
digits of Item, character values of the Currency string, or a negative
sign would be truncated; in such cases no edited output string is
defined.

11
The edited output string has lower bound 1 and upper bound N where N =
Pic_String'Length + Currency_Length_Adjustment - Radix_Adjustment, and

12
   * Currency_Length_Adjustment = Currency'Length - 1 if there is some
     occurrence of '$' in Pic_String, and 0 otherwise.

13
   * Radix_Adjustment = 1 if there is an occurrence of 'V' or 'v' in
     Pic_Str, and 0 otherwise.

14
Let the magnitude of Item be expressed as a base-10 number
Ip···I1.F1···Fq, called the <displayed> <magnitude> of Item, where:

15
   * q = Min(Max(Num'Scale, 0), n) where n is 0 if Pic_String has no
     radix and is otherwise the number of digit positions following
     radix in Pic_String, where a digit position corresponds to an
     occurrence of '9', a zero_suppression_char (for an
     all_zero_suppression_number), a currency_char (for an
     all_currency_number), or a sign_char (for an all_sign_number).

16
   * Ip /= 0 if p>0.

17
If n < Num'Scale, then the above number is the result of rounding (away
from 0 if exactly midway between values).

18
If Blank_When_Zero = True and the displayed magnitude of Item is zero,
then the edited output string comprises all space character values.
Otherwise, the picture String is treated as a sequence of instances of
syntactic categories based on the rules in *note F.3.1::, and the edited
output string is the concatenation of string values derived from these
categories according to the following mapping rules.

19
Table F-1 shows the mapping from a sign control symbol to a
corresponding character or string in the edited output.  In the columns
showing the edited output, a lower-case 'b' represents the space
character.  If there is no sign control symbol but the value of Item is
negative, a layout error occurs and no edited output string is produced.

An instance of fixed_LHS_sign maps to a character as shown in Table F-1.

21
An instance of fixed_$_char maps to Currency.

22
An instance of direct_insertion maps to Separator if direct_insertion =
'_', and to the direct_insertion Character otherwise.

23
An instance of number maps to a string <integer_part> & <radix_part> &
<fraction_part> where:

24
   * The string for <integer_part> is obtained as follows:

25
          1.  Occurrences of '9' in fore_digits of number are replaced
          from right to left with the decimal digit character values for
          I1, ..., Ip, respectively.

26
          2.  Each occurrence of '9' in fore_digits to the left of the
          leftmost '9' replaced according to rule 1 is replaced with
          '0'.

27
          3.  If p exceeds the number of occurrences of '9' in
          fore_digits of number, then the excess leftmost digits are
          eligible for use in the mapping of an instance of
          zero_suppression, floating_LHS_sign, floating_$_currency, or
          floating_#_currency to the left of number; if there is no such
          instance, then a layout error occurs and no edited output
          string is produced.

28
   * The <radix_part> is:

29
             * "" if number does not include a radix, if radix = 'V', or
               if radix = 'v'

30
             * Radix_Mark if number includes '.'  as radix

31
   * The string for <fraction_part> is obtained as follows:

32
          1.  Occurrences of '9' in aft_digits of number are replaced
          from left to right with the decimal digit character values for
          F1, ...  Fq.

33
          2.  Each occurrence of '9' in aft_digits to the right of the
          rightmost '9' replaced according to rule 1 is replaced by '0'.

34
An instance of zero_suppression maps to the string obtained as follows:

35
     1.  The rightmost 'Z', 'z', or '*' Character values are replaced
     with the excess digits (if any) from the <integer_part> of the
     mapping of the number to the right of the zero_suppression
     instance,

36
     2.  A context_sensitive_insertion Character is replaced as though
     it were a direct_insertion Character, if it occurs to the right of
     some 'Z', 'z', or '*' in zero_suppression that has been mapped to
     an excess digit,

37
     3.  Each Character to the left of the leftmost Character replaced
     according to rule 1 above is replaced by:

38
             * the space character if the zero suppression Character is
               'Z' or 'z', or

39
             * the Fill character if the zero suppression Character is
               '*'.

40
     4.  A layout error occurs if some excess digits remain after all
     'Z', 'z', and '*' Character values in zero_suppression have been
     replaced via rule 1; no edited output string is produced.

41
An instance of RHS_sign maps to a character or string as shown in Table
F-1.

42
An instance of floating_LHS_sign maps to the string obtained as follows.

43
     1.  Up to all but one of the rightmost LHS_Sign Character values
     are replaced by the excess digits (if any) from the <integer_part>
     of the mapping of the number to the right of the floating_LHS_sign
     instance.

44
     2.  The next Character to the left is replaced with the character
     given by the entry in Table F-1 corresponding to the LHS_Sign
     Character.

45
     3.  A context_sensitive_insertion Character is replaced as though
     it were a direct_insertion Character, if it occurs to the right of
     the leftmost LHS_Sign character replaced according to rule 1.

46
     4.  Any other Character is replaced by the space character..

47
     5.  A layout error occurs if some excess digits remain after
     replacement via rule 1; no edited output string is produced.

48
An instance of fixed_#_currency maps to the Currency string with n space
character values concatenated on the left (if the instance does not
follow a radix) or on the right (if the instance does follow a radix),
where n is the difference between the length of the fixed_#_currency
instance and Currency'Length.  A layout error occurs if Currency'Length
exceeds the length of the fixed_#_currency instance; no edited output
string is produced.

49
An instance of floating_$_currency maps to the string obtained as
follows:

50
     1.  Up to all but one of the rightmost '$' Character values are
     replaced with the excess digits (if any) from the <integer_part> of
     the mapping of the number to the right of the floating_$_currency
     instance.

51
     2.  The next Character to the left is replaced by the Currency
     string.

52
     3.  A context_sensitive_insertion Character is replaced as though
     it were a direct_insertion Character, if it occurs to the right of
     the leftmost '$' Character replaced via rule 1.

53
     4.  Each other Character is replaced by the space character.

54
     5.  A layout error occurs if some excess digits remain after
     replacement by rule 1; no edited output string is produced.

55
An instance of floating_#_currency maps to the string obtained as
follows:

56
     1.  Up to all but one of the rightmost '#' Character values are
     replaced with the excess digits (if any) from the <integer_part> of
     the mapping of the number to the right of the floating_#_currency
     instance.

57
     2.  The substring whose last Character occurs at the position
     immediately preceding the leftmost Character replaced via rule 1,
     and whose length is Currency'Length, is replaced by the Currency
     string.

58
     3.  A context_sensitive_insertion Character is replaced as though
     it were a direct_insertion Character, if it occurs to the right of
     the leftmost '#' replaced via rule 1.

59
     4.  Any other Character is replaced by the space character.

60
     5.  A layout error occurs if some excess digits remain after
     replacement rule 1, or if there is no substring with the required
     length for replacement rule 2; no edited output string is produced.

61
An instance of all_zero_suppression_number maps to:

62
   * a string of all spaces if the displayed magnitude of Item is zero,
     the zero_suppression_char is 'Z' or 'z', and the instance of
     all_zero_suppression_number does not have a radix at its last
     character position;

63
   * a string containing the Fill character in each position except for
     the character (if any) corresponding to radix, if
     zero_suppression_char = '*' and the displayed magnitude of Item is
     zero;

64
   * otherwise, the same result as if each zero_suppression_char in
     all_zero_suppression_aft were '9', interpreting the instance of
     all_zero_suppression_number as either zero_suppression number (if a
     radix and all_zero_suppression_aft are present), or as
     zero_suppression otherwise.

65
An instance of all_sign_number maps to:

66
   * a string of all spaces if the displayed magnitude of Item is zero
     and the instance of all_sign_number does not have a radix at its
     last character position;

67
   * otherwise, the same result as if each sign_char in
     all_sign_number_aft were '9', interpreting the instance of
     all_sign_number as either floating_LHS_sign number (if a radix and
     all_sign_number_aft are present), or as floating_LHS_sign
     otherwise.

68
An instance of all_currency_number maps to:

69
   * a string of all spaces if the displayed magnitude of Item is zero
     and the instance of all_currency_number does not have a radix at
     its last character position;

70
   * otherwise, the same result as if each currency_char in
     all_currency_number_aft were '9', interpreting the instance of
     all_currency_number as floating_$_currency number or
     floating_#_currency number (if a radix and all_currency_number_aft
     are present), or as floating_$_currency or floating_#_currency
     otherwise.

                              _Examples_

F.3.3 The Package Text_IO.Editing
---------------------------------

1
The package Text_IO.Editing provides a private type Picture with
associated operations, and a generic package Decimal_Output.  An object
of type Picture is composed from a well-formed picture String (see *note
F.3.1::) and a Boolean item indicating whether a zero numeric value will
result in an edited output string of all space characters.  The package
Decimal_Output contains edited output subprograms implementing the
effects defined in *note F.3.2::.

                          _Static Semantics_

                     Currency   : in String    := Default_Currency;
                     Fill       : in Character := Default_Fill;
                     Separator  : in Character := Default_Separator;
                     Radix_Mark : in Character := Default_Radix_Mark)
        return String;

40
          Image returns the edited output String as defined in *note
          F.3.2:: for Item, Pic_String(Pic), Blank_When_Zero(Pic),
          Currency, Fill, Separator, and Radix_Mark.  If these rules
          identify a layout error, then Image raises the exception
          Layout_Error.

     procedure Put (File       : in File_Type;
                    Item       : in Num;
                    Pic        : in Picture;
                    Currency   : in String    := Default_Currency;
                    Fill       : in Character := Default_Fill;
                    Separator  : in Character := Default_Separator;
                    Radix_Mark : in Character := Default_Radix_Mark);

     procedure Put (Item       : in Num;
                    Pic        : in Picture;
                    Currency   : in String    := Default_Currency;
                    Fill       : in Character := Default_Fill;
                    Separator  : in Character := Default_Separator;
                    Radix_Mark : in Character := Default_Radix_Mark);

42
          Each of these Put procedures outputs Image(Item, Pic,
          Currency, Fill, Separator, Radix_Mark) consistent with the
          conventions for Put for other real types in case of bounded
          line length (see *note A.10.6::, "*note A.10.6:: Get and Put
          Procedures").

43
     procedure Put (To         : out String;
                    Item       : in Num;
                    Pic        : in Picture;
                    Currency   : in String    := Default_Currency;
                    Fill       : in Character := Default_Fill;
                    Separator  : in Character := Default_Separator;
                    Radix_Mark : in Character := Default_Radix_Mark);

44/3
          {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} Put copies Image(Item, Pic,
          Currency, Fill, Separator, Radix_Mark) to the given string,
          right justified.  Otherwise, unassigned Character values in To
          are assigned the space character.  If To'Length is less than
          the length of the string resulting from Image, then
          Layout_Error is raised.

                     _Implementation Requirements_

45
Max_Picture_Length shall be at least 30.  The implementation shall
support currency strings of length up to at least 10, both for
Default_Currency in an instantiation of Decimal_Output, and for Currency
in an invocation of Image or any of the Put procedures.

45.a
          Discussion: This implies that a picture string with character
          replications need not be supported (i.e., To_Picture will
          raise Picture_Error) if its expanded form exceeds 30
          characters.

     NOTES

46
     4  The rules for edited output are based on COBOL (ANSI X3.23:1985,
     endorsed by ISO as ISO 1989-1985), with the following differences:

47
        * The COBOL provisions for picture string localization and for
          'P' format are absent from Ada.

48
        * The following Ada facilities are not in COBOL:

49
                  * currency symbol placement after the number,

50
                  * localization of edited output string for
                    multi-character currency string values, including
                    support for both length-preserving and
                    length-expanding currency symbols in picture strings

51
                  * localization of the radix mark, digits separator,
                    and fill character, and

52
                  * parenthesization of negative values.

52.1
     The value of 30 for Max_Picture_Length is the same limit as in
     COBOL.

52.a
          Reason: There are several reasons we have not adopted the
          COBOL-style permission to provide a single-character
          replacement in the picture string for the '$' as currency
          symbol, or to interchange the roles of '.'  and ',' in picture
          strings

52.b
             * It would have introduced considerable complexity into
               Ada, as well as confusion between run-time and
               compile-time character interpretation, since picture
               Strings are dynamically computable in Ada, in contrast
               with COBOL

52.c
             * Ada's rules for real literals provide a natural
               interpretation of '_' as digits separator and '.'  for
               radix mark; it is not essential to allow these to be
               localized in picture strings, since Ada does not allow
               them to be localized in real literals.

52.d
             * The COBOL restriction for the currency symbol in a
               picture string to be replaced by a single character
               currency symbol is a compromise solution.  For general
               international usage a mechanism is needed to localize the
               edited output to be a multi-character currency string.
               Allowing a single-Character localization for the picture
               Character, and a multiple-character localization for the
               currency string, would be an unnecessary complication.

   * a mode ("strict mode"), in which the predefined arithmetic
     operations of floating point and fixed point types and the

7/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} If Fortran (respectively, C) is widely
supported in the target environment, implementations supporting the
Numerics Annex should provide the child package Interfaces.Fortran
(respectively, Interfaces.C) specified in *note Annex B:: and should
support a <convention_>identifier of Fortran (respectively, C) for the
Convention aspect (see *note Annex B::), thus allowing Ada programs to
interface with programs written in that language.

7.a.1/2
          Implementation Advice: If Fortran (respectively, C) is
          supported in the target environment, then interfacing to

G.1 Complex Arithmetic
======================

1
Types and arithmetic operations for complex arithmetic are provided in
Generic_Complex_Types, which is defined in *note G.1.1::.
Implementation-defined approximations to the complex analogs of the
mathematical functions known as the "elementary functions" are provided
by the subprograms in Generic_Complex_Elementary_Functions, which is
defined in *note G.1.2::.  Both of these library units are generic
children of the predefined package Numerics (see *note A.5::).
Nongeneric equivalents of these generic packages for each of the
predefined floating point types are also provided as children of
Numerics.

1.a
          Implementation defined: The accuracy actually achieved by the
          complex elementary functions and by other complex arithmetic
          operations.

1.b
          Discussion: Complex arithmetic is defined in the Numerics
          Annex, rather than in the core, because it is considered to be
          a specialized need of (some) numeric applications.

25/1
{<8652/00208652/0020>} {<AI95-00126-01AI95-00126-01>} The library
package Numerics.Complex_Types is declared pure and defines the same
types, constants, and subprograms as Numerics.Generic_Complex_Types,
except that the predefined type Float is systematically substituted for
Real'Base throughout.  Nongeneric equivalents of
Numerics.Generic_Complex_Types for each of the other predefined floating
point types are defined similarly, with the names
Numerics.Short_Complex_Types, Numerics.Long_Complex_Types, etc.

25.a
          Reason: The nongeneric equivalents are provided to allow the
          programmer to construct simple mathematical applications
          without being required to understand and use generics.

25.b
          Reason: The nongeneric equivalents all export the types
          Complex and Imaginary and the constants i and j (rather than
          uniquely named types and constants, such as Short_Complex,
          Long_Complex, etc.)  to preserve their equivalence to actual
          instantiations of the generic package and to allow the
          programmer to change the precision of an application globally
          by changing a single context clause.

26/2
{<AI95-00434-01AI95-00434-01>} [Complex is a visible type with Cartesian
components.]

26.a
          Reason: The Cartesian representation is far more common than
          the polar representation, in practice.  The accuracy of the
          results of the complex arithmetic operations and of the
          complex elementary functions is dependent on the
          representation; thus, implementers need to know that
          representation.  The type is visible so that complex
          "literals" can be written in aggregate notation, if desired.

27
[Imaginary is a private type; its full type is derived from Real'Base.]

27.a
          Reason: The Imaginary type and the constants i and j are
          provided for two reasons:

27.b
             * They allow complex "literals" to be written in the
               alternate form of <a> + <b>*i (or <a> + <b>*j), if
               desired.  Of course, in some contexts the sum will need
               to be parenthesized.

27.c
             * When an Ada binding to IEC 559:1989 that provides
               (signed) infinities as the result of operations that
               overflow becomes available, it will be important to allow
               arithmetic between pure-imaginary and complex operands
               without requiring the former to be represented as (or
               promoted to) complex values with a real component of
               zero.  For example, the multiplication of <a> + <b>*i by
               <d>*i should yield -<b>· <d> + <a>· <d>*i, but if one
               cannot avoid representing the pure-imaginary value <d>*i
               as the complex value 0.0 + <d>*i, then a NaN
               ("Not-a-Number") could be produced as the result of
               multiplying <a> by 0.0 (e.g., when <a> is infinite); the
               NaN could later trigger an exception.  Providing the
               Imaginary type and overloadings of the arithmetic
               operators for mixtures of Imaginary and Complex operands
               gives the programmer the same control over avoiding
               premature coercion of pure-imaginary values to complex as
               is already provided for pure-real values.

27.d
          Reason: The Imaginary type is private, rather than being
          visibly derived from Real'Base, for two reasons:

27.e
             * to preclude implicit conversions of real literals to the
               Imaginary type (such implicit conversions would make many
               common arithmetic expressions ambiguous); and

27.f
             * to suppress the implicit derivation of the
               multiplication, division, and absolute value operators
               with Imaginary operands and an Imaginary result (the
               result type would be incorrect).

27.g
          Reason: The base subtype Real'Base is used for the component
          type of Complex, the parent type of Imaginary, and the
          parameter and result types of some of the subprograms to
          maximize the chances of being able to pass meaningful values
          into the subprograms and receive meaningful results back.  The
          generic formal parameter Real therefore plays only one role,
          that of providing the precision to be maintained in complex
          arithmetic calculations.  Thus, the subprograms in
          Numerics.Generic_Complex_Types share with those in
          Numerics.Generic_Elementary_Functions, and indeed even with
          the predefined arithmetic operations (see *note 4.5::), the
          property of being free of range checks on input and output,
          i.e., of being able to exploit the base range of the relevant
          floating point type fully.  As a result, the user loses the
          ability to impose application-oriented bounds on the range of
          values that the components of a complex variable can acquire;
          however, it can be argued that few, if any, applications have
          a naturally square domain (as opposed to a circular domain)
          anyway.

28
The arithmetic operations and the Re, Im, Modulus, Argument, and
Conjugate functions have their usual mathematical meanings.  When
applied to a parameter of pure-imaginary type, the "imaginary-part"
function Im yields the value of its parameter, as the corresponding real
value.  The remaining subprograms have the following meanings:

28.a
          Reason: The middle case can be understood by considering the
          parameter of pure-imaginary type to represent a complex value
          with a zero real part.

29
   * The Set_Re and Set_Im procedures replace the designated component
     of a complex parameter with the given real value; applied to a
     parameter of pure-imaginary type, the Set_Im procedure replaces the
     value of that parameter with the imaginary value corresponding to
     the given real value.

30
   * The Compose_From_Cartesian function constructs a complex value from
     the given real and imaginary components.  If only one component is
     given, the other component is implicitly zero.

31
   * The Compose_From_Polar function constructs a complex value from the
     given modulus (radius) and argument (angle).  When the value of the
     parameter Modulus is positive (resp., negative), the result is the
     complex value represented by the point in the complex plane lying
     at a distance from the origin given by the absolute value of
     Modulus and forming an angle measured counterclockwise from the
     positive (resp., negative) real axis given by the value of the
     parameter Argument.

32
When the Cycle parameter is specified, the result of the Argument
function and the parameter Argument of the Compose_From_Polar function
are measured in units such that a full cycle of revolution has the given
value; otherwise, they are measured in radians.

33
The computed results of the mathematically multivalued functions are
rendered single-valued by the following conventions, which are meant to
imply the principal branch:

34
   * The result of the Modulus function is nonnegative.

35
   * The result of the Argument function is in the quadrant containing
     the point in the complex plane represented by the parameter X. This
     may be any quadrant (I through IV); thus, the range of the Argument
     function is approximately -PI to PI (-Cycle/2.0 to Cycle/2.0, if
     the parameter Cycle is specified).  When the point represented by
     the parameter X lies on the negative real axis, the result
     approximates

36
             * PI (resp., -PI) when the sign of the imaginary component
               of X is positive (resp., negative), if Real'Signed_Zeros
               is True;

37
             * PI, if Real'Signed_Zeros is False.

38
   * Because a result lying on or near one of the axes may not be
     exactly representable, the approximation inherent in computing the
     result may place it in an adjacent quadrant, close to but on the
     wrong side of the axis.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

39
The exception Numerics.Argument_Error is raised by the Argument and
Compose_From_Polar functions with specified cycle, signaling a parameter
value outside the domain of the corresponding mathematical function,
when the value of the parameter Cycle is zero or negative.

40
The exception Constraint_Error is raised by the division operator when
the value of the right operand is zero, and by the exponentiation
operator when the value of the left operand is zero and the value of the
exponent is negative, provided that Real'Machine_Overflows is True; when
Real'Machine_Overflows is False, the result is unspecified.
[Constraint_Error can also be raised when a finite result overflows (see
*note G.2.6::).]

40.a
          Discussion: It is anticipated that an Ada binding to IEC
          559:1989 will be developed in the future.  As part of such a
          binding, the Machine_Overflows attribute of a conformant
          floating point type will be specified to yield False, which
          will permit implementations of the complex arithmetic
          operations to deliver results with an infinite component (and
          set the overflow flag defined by the binding) instead of
          raising Constraint_Error in overflow situations, when traps
          are disabled.  Similarly, it is appropriate for the complex
          arithmetic operations to deliver results with infinite
          components (and set the zero-divide flag defined by the
          binding) instead of raising Constraint_Error in the situations
          defined above, when traps are disabled.  Finally, such a
          binding should also specify the behavior of the complex
          arithmetic operations, when sensible, given operands with
          infinite components.

                     _Implementation Requirements_

41
In the implementation of Numerics.Generic_Complex_Types, the range of
intermediate values allowed during the calculation of a final result
shall not be affected by any range constraint of the subtype Real.

41.a
          Implementation Note: Implementations of
          Numerics.Generic_Complex_Types written in Ada should therefore
          avoid declaring local variables of subtype Real; the subtype
          Real'Base should be used instead.

42
In the following cases, evaluation of a complex arithmetic operation
shall yield the <prescribed result>, provided that the preceding rules
do not call for an exception to be raised:

43
   * The results of the Re, Im, and Compose_From_Cartesian functions are
     exact.

44
   * The real (resp., imaginary) component of the result of a binary
     addition operator that yields a result of complex type is exact
     when either of its operands is of pure-imaginary (resp., real)
     type.

44.a
          Ramification: The result of the addition operator is exact
          when one of its operands is of real type and the other is of
          pure-imaginary type.  In this particular case, the operator is
          analogous to the Compose_From_Cartesian function; it performs
          no arithmetic.

45
   * The real (resp., imaginary) component of the result of a binary
     subtraction operator that yields a result of complex type is exact
     when its right operand is of pure-imaginary (resp., real) type.

46
   * The real component of the result of the Conjugate function for the
     complex type is exact.

47
   * When the point in the complex plane represented by the parameter X
     lies on the nonnegative real axis, the Argument function yields a
     result of zero.

47.a
          Discussion: Argument(X + i*Y) is analogous to <EF>.Arctan(Y,
          X), where <EF> is an appropriate instance of
          Numerics.Generic_Elementary_Functions, except when X and Y are
          both zero, in which case the former yields the value zero
          while the latter raises Numerics.Argument_Error.

48
   * When the value of the parameter Modulus is zero, the
     Compose_From_Polar function yields a result of zero.

49
   * When the value of the parameter Argument is equal to a multiple of
     the quarter cycle, the result of the Compose_From_Polar function
     with specified cycle lies on one of the axes.  In this case, one of
     its components is zero, and the other has the magnitude of the
     parameter Modulus.

50
   * Exponentiation by a zero exponent yields the value one.
     Exponentiation by a unit exponent yields the value of the left
     operand.  Exponentiation of the value one yields the value one.
     Exponentiation of the value zero yields the value zero, provided
     that the exponent is nonzero.  When the left operand is of
     pure-imaginary type, one component of the result of the
     exponentiation operator is zero.

51
When the result, or a result component, of any operator of
Numerics.Generic_Complex_Types has a mathematical definition in terms of
a single arithmetic or relational operation, that result or result
component exhibits the accuracy of the corresponding operation of the
type Real.

52
Other accuracy requirements for the Modulus, Argument, and
Compose_From_Polar functions, and accuracy requirements for the
multiplication of a pair of complex operands or for division by a
complex operand, all of which apply only in the strict mode, are given
in *note G.2.6::.

53
The sign of a zero result or zero result component yielded by a complex
arithmetic operation or function is implementation defined when
Real'Signed_Zeros is True.

53.a
          Implementation defined: The sign of a zero result (or a
          component thereof) from any operator or function in
          Numerics.Generic_Complex_Types, when Real'Signed_Zeros is
          True.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

54
The nongeneric equivalent packages may, but need not, be actual
instantiations of the generic package for the appropriate predefined
type.

55/2
{<8652/00918652/0091>} {<AI95-00434-01AI95-00434-01>} Implementations
may obtain the result of exponentiation of a complex or pure-imaginary
operand by repeated complex multiplication, with arbitrary association
of the factors and with a possible final complex reciprocation (when the
exponent is negative).  Implementations are also permitted to obtain the
result of exponentiation of a complex operand, but not of a
pure-imaginary operand, by converting the left operand to a polar
representation; exponentiating the modulus by the given exponent;
multiplying the argument by the given exponent; and reconverting to a
Cartesian representation.  Because of this implementation freedom, no
accuracy requirement is imposed on complex exponentiation (except for
the prescribed results given above, which apply regardless of the
implementation method chosen).

                        _Implementation Advice_

56
Because the usual mathematical meaning of multiplication of a complex
operand and a real operand is that of the scaling of both components of
the former by the latter, an implementation should not perform this
operation by first promoting the real operand to complex type and then
performing a full complex multiplication.  In systems that, in the
future, support an Ada binding to IEC 559:1989, the latter technique
will not generate the required result when one of the components of the
complex operand is infinite.  (Explicit multiplication of the infinite
component by the zero component obtained during promotion yields a NaN
that propagates into the final result.)  Analogous advice applies in the
case of multiplication of a complex operand and a pure-imaginary
operand, and in the case of division of a complex operand by a real or
pure-imaginary operand.

56.a/2
          Implementation Advice: Mixed real and complex operations (as
          well as pure-imaginary and complex operations) should not be
          performed by converting the real (resp.  pure-imaginary)
          operand to complex.

57
Likewise, because the usual mathematical meaning of addition of a
complex operand and a real operand is that the imaginary operand remains
unchanged, an implementation should not perform this operation by first
promoting the real operand to complex type and then performing a full
complex addition.  In implementations in which the Signed_Zeros
attribute of the component type is True (and which therefore conform to
IEC 559:1989 in regard to the handling of the sign of zero in predefined
arithmetic operations), the latter technique will not generate the
required result when the imaginary component of the complex operand is a
negatively signed zero.  (Explicit addition of the negative zero to the
zero obtained during promotion yields a positive zero.)  Analogous
advice applies in the case of addition of a complex operand and a
pure-imaginary operand, and in the case of subtraction of a complex
operand and a real or pure-imaginary operand.

58
Implementations in which Real'Signed_Zeros is True should attempt to
provide a rational treatment of the signs of zero results and result
components.  As one example, the result of the Argument function should
have the sign of the imaginary component of the parameter X when the
point represented by that parameter lies on the positive real axis; as
another, the sign of the imaginary component of the Compose_From_Polar
function should be the same as (resp., the opposite of) that of the
Argument parameter when that parameter has a value of zero and the
Modulus parameter has a nonnegative (resp., negative) value.

58.a.1/3
          Implementation Advice: If Real'Signed_Zeros is True for
          Numerics.Generic_Complex_Types, a rational treatment of the
          signs of zero results and result components should be
          provided.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

58.a
          The semantics of Numerics.Generic_Complex_Types differs from
          Generic_Complex_Types as defined in ISO/IEC CD 13813 (for Ada
          83) in the following ways:

58.b
             * The generic package is a child of the package defining
               the Argument_Error exception.

58.c
             * The nongeneric equivalents export types and constants
               with the same names as those exported by the generic
               package, rather than with names unique to the package.

58.d
             * Implementations are not allowed to impose an optional
               restriction that the generic actual parameter associated
               with Real be unconstrained.  (In view of the ability to
               declare variables of subtype Real'Base in implementations
               of Numerics.Generic_Complex_Types, this flexibility is no
               longer needed.)

58.e
             * The dependence of the Argument function on the sign of a
               zero parameter component is tied to the value of
               Real'Signed_Zeros.

58.f
             * Conformance to accuracy requirements is conditional.

                        _Extensions to Ada 95_

58.g/2
          {<AI95-00161-01AI95-00161-01>} Amendment Correction: Added a
          pragma Preelaborable_Initialization to type Imaginary, so that
          it can be used in preelaborated units.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

          {<8652/00208652/0020>} {<AI95-00126-01AI95-00126-01>}
          Corrigendum: Explicitly stated that the nongeneric equivalents
          of Generic_Complex_Types are pure.

G.1.2 Complex Elementary Functions
----------------------------------

                          _Static Semantics_

1
The generic library package
Numerics.Generic_Complex_Elementary_Functions has the following
declaration:

2/2
     {<AI95-00434-01AI95-00434-01>} with Ada.Numerics.Generic_Complex_Types;
     generic
        with package Complex_Types is
              new Ada.Numerics.Generic_Complex_Types (<>);
        use Complex_Types;
     package Ada.Numerics.Generic_Complex_Elementary_Functions is
        pragma Pure(Generic_Complex_Elementary_Functions);

8
     end Ada.Numerics.Generic_Complex_Elementary_Functions;

9/1
{<8652/00208652/0020>} {<AI95-00126-01AI95-00126-01>} The library
package Numerics.Complex_Elementary_Functions is declared pure and
defines the same subprograms as
Numerics.Generic_Complex_Elementary_Functions, except that the
predefined type Float is systematically substituted for Real'Base, and
the Complex and Imaginary types exported by Numerics.Complex_Types are
systematically substituted for Complex and Imaginary, throughout.
Nongeneric equivalents of Numerics.Generic_Complex_Elementary_Functions
corresponding to each of the other predefined floating point types are
defined similarly, with the names
Numerics.Short_Complex_Elementary_Functions,
Numerics.Long_Complex_Elementary_Functions, etc.

9.a
          Reason: The nongeneric equivalents are provided to allow the
          programmer to construct simple mathematical applications
          without being required to understand and use generics.

10
The overloading of the Exp function for the pure-imaginary type is
provided to give the user an alternate way to compose a complex value
from a given modulus and argument.  In addition to
Compose_From_Polar(Rho, Theta) (see *note G.1.1::), the programmer may
write Rho * Exp(i * Theta).

11
The imaginary (resp., real) component of the parameter X of the forward
hyperbolic (resp., trigonometric) functions and of the Exp function (and
the parameter X, itself, in the case of the overloading of the Exp
function for the pure-imaginary type) represents an angle measured in
radians, as does the imaginary (resp., real) component of the result of
the Log and inverse hyperbolic (resp., trigonometric) functions.

12
The functions have their usual mathematical meanings.  However, the
arbitrariness inherent in the placement of branch cuts, across which
some of the complex elementary functions exhibit discontinuities, is
eliminated by the following conventions:

13
   * The imaginary component of the result of the Sqrt and Log functions
     is discontinuous as the parameter X crosses the negative real axis.

14
   * The result of the exponentiation operator when the left operand is
     of complex type is discontinuous as that operand crosses the
     negative real axis.

15/2
   * {<AI95-00185-01AI95-00185-01>} The imaginary component of the
     result of the Arcsin, Arccos, and Arctanh functions is
     discontinuous as the parameter X crosses the real axis to the left
     of -1.0 or the right of 1.0.

16/2
   * {<AI95-00185-01AI95-00185-01>} The real component of the result of
     the Arctan and Arcsinh functions is discontinuous as the parameter
     X crosses the imaginary axis below -<i> or above <i>.

17/2
   * {<AI95-00185-01AI95-00185-01>} The real component of the result of
     the Arccot function is discontinuous as the parameter X crosses the
     imaginary axis below -<i> or above <i>.

18
   * The imaginary component of the Arccosh function is discontinuous as
     the parameter X crosses the real axis to the left of 1.0.

19
   * The imaginary component of the result of the Arccoth function is
     discontinuous as the parameter X crosses the real axis between -1.0
     and 1.0.

19.a/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00185-01AI95-00185-01>} The branch cuts
          come from the fact that the functions in question are really
          multi-valued in the complex domain, and that we have to pick
          one <principal value> to be the result of the function.
          Evidently we have much freedom in choosing where the branch
          cuts lie.  However, we are adhering to the following
          principles which seem to lead to the more <natural>
          definitions:

19.b/2
             * A branch cut should not intersect the real axis at a
               place where the corresponding real function is
               well-defined (in other words, the complex function should
               be an extension of the corresponding real function).

19.c/2
             * Because all the functions in question are analytic, to
               ensure power series validity for the principal value, the
               branch cuts should be invariant by complex conjugation.

19.d/2
             * For odd functions, to ensure that the principal value
               remains an odd function, the branch cuts should be
               invariant by reflection in the origin.

20/2
{<AI95-00185-01AI95-00185-01>} The computed results of the
mathematically multivalued functions are rendered single-valued by the
following conventions, which are meant to imply that the principal
branch is an analytic continuation of the corresponding real-valued
function in Numerics.Generic_Elementary_Functions.  (For Arctan and
Arccot, the single-argument function in question is that obtained from
the two-argument version by fixing the second argument to be its default
value.)

21
   * The real component of the result of the Sqrt and Arccosh functions
     is nonnegative.

22
   * The same convention applies to the imaginary component of the
     result of the Log function as applies to the result of the
     natural-cycle version of the Argument function of
     Numerics.Generic_Complex_Types (see *note G.1.1::).

23
   * The range of the real (resp., imaginary) component of the result of
     the Arcsin and Arctan (resp., Arcsinh and Arctanh) functions is
     approximately -PI/2.0 to PI/2.0.

24
   * The real (resp., imaginary) component of the result of the Arccos
     and Arccot (resp., Arccoth) functions ranges from 0.0 to
     approximately PI.

25
   * The range of the imaginary component of the result of the Arccosh
     function is approximately -PI to PI.

26
In addition, the exponentiation operator inherits the single-valuedness
of the Log function.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

27
The exception Numerics.Argument_Error is raised by the exponentiation
operator, signaling a parameter value outside the domain of the
corresponding mathematical function, when the value of the left operand
is zero and the real component of the exponent (or the exponent itself,
when it is of real type) is zero.

28
The exception Constraint_Error is raised, signaling a pole of the
mathematical function (analogous to dividing by zero), in the following
cases, provided that Complex_Types.Real'Machine_Overflows is True:

29
   * by the Log, Cot, and Coth functions, when the value of the
     parameter X is zero;

30
   * by the exponentiation operator, when the value of the left operand
     is zero and the real component of the exponent (or the exponent
     itself, when it is of real type) is negative;

31
   * by the Arctan and Arccot functions, when the value of the parameter
     X is ± <i>;

32
   * by the Arctanh and Arccoth functions, when the value of the
     parameter X is ± 1.0.

33
[Constraint_Error can also be raised when a finite result overflows (see
*note G.2.6::); this may occur for parameter values sufficiently <near>
poles, and, in the case of some of the functions, for parameter values
having components of sufficiently large magnitude.]  When
Complex_Types.Real'Machine_Overflows is False, the result at poles is
unspecified.

33.a
          Reason: The purpose of raising Constraint_Error (rather than
          Numerics.Argument_Error) at the poles of a function, when
          Float_Type'Machine_Overflows is True, is to provide continuous
          behavior as the actual parameters of the function approach the
          pole and finally reach it.

33.b
          Discussion: It is anticipated that an Ada binding to IEC
          559:1989 will be developed in the future.  As part of such a
          binding, the Machine_Overflows attribute of a conformant
          floating point type will be specified to yield False, which
          will permit implementations of the complex elementary
          functions to deliver results with an infinite component (and
          set the overflow flag defined by the binding) instead of
          raising Constraint_Error in overflow situations, when traps
          are disabled.  Similarly, it is appropriate for the complex
          elementary functions to deliver results with an infinite
          component (and set the zero-divide flag defined by the
          binding) instead of raising Constraint_Error at poles, when
          traps are disabled.  Finally, such a binding should also
          specify the behavior of the complex elementary functions, when
          sensible, given parameters with infinite components.

                     _Implementation Requirements_

34
In the implementation of Numerics.Generic_Complex_Elementary_Functions,
the range of intermediate values allowed during the calculation of a
final result shall not be affected by any range constraint of the
subtype Complex_Types.Real.

34.a
          Implementation Note: Implementations of
          Numerics.Generic_Complex_Elementary_Functions written in Ada
          should therefore avoid declaring local variables of subtype
          Complex_Types.Real; the subtype Complex_Types.Real'Base should
          be used instead.

35
In the following cases, evaluation of a complex elementary function
shall yield the <prescribed result> (or a result having the prescribed
component), provided that the preceding rules do not call for an
exception to be raised:

36
   * When the parameter X has the value zero, the Sqrt, Sin, Arcsin,
     Tan, Arctan, Sinh, Arcsinh, Tanh, and Arctanh functions yield a
     result of zero; the Exp, Cos, and Cosh functions yield a result of
     one; the Arccos and Arccot functions yield a real result; and the
     Arccoth function yields an imaginary result.

37
   * When the parameter X has the value one, the Sqrt function yields a
     result of one; the Log, Arccos, and Arccosh functions yield a
     result of zero; and the Arcsin function yields a real result.

38
   * When the parameter X has the value -1.0, the Sqrt function yields
     the result

39
             * <i> (resp., -<i>), when the sign of the imaginary
               component of X is positive (resp., negative), if
               Complex_Types.Real'Signed_Zeros is True;

40
             * <i>, if Complex_Types.Real'Signed_Zeros is False;

41/2
   * {<AI95-00434-01AI95-00434-01>} When the parameter X has the value
     -1.0, the Log function yields an imaginary result; and the Arcsin
     and Arccos functions yield a real result.

42
   * When the parameter X has the value ± <i>, the Log function yields
     an imaginary result.

43
   * Exponentiation by a zero exponent yields the value one.
     Exponentiation by a unit exponent yields the value of the left
     operand (as a complex value).  Exponentiation of the value one
     yields the value one.  Exponentiation of the value zero yields the
     value zero.

43.a
          Discussion: It is possible to give many other prescribed
          results restricting the result to the real or imaginary axis
          when the parameter X is appropriately restricted to easily
          testable portions of the domain.  We follow the proposed
          ISO/IEC standard for Generic_Complex_Elementary_Functions (for
          Ada 83), CD 13813, in not doing so, however.

44
Other accuracy requirements for the complex elementary functions, which
apply only in the strict mode, are given in *note G.2.6::.

45
The sign of a zero result or zero result component yielded by a complex
elementary function is implementation defined when
Complex_Types.Real'Signed_Zeros is True.

45.a
          Implementation defined: The sign of a zero result (or a
          component thereof) from any operator or function in
          Numerics.Generic_Complex_Elementary_Functions, when
          Complex_Types.Real'Signed_Zeros is True.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

46
The nongeneric equivalent packages may, but need not, be actual
instantiations of the generic package with the appropriate predefined
nongeneric equivalent of Numerics.Generic_Complex_Types; if they are,
then the latter shall have been obtained by actual instantiation of
Numerics.Generic_Complex_Types.

47
The exponentiation operator may be implemented in terms of the Exp and
Log functions.  Because this implementation yields poor accuracy in some
parts of the domain, no accuracy requirement is imposed on complex
exponentiation.

48
The implementation of the Exp function of a complex parameter X is
allowed to raise the exception Constraint_Error, signaling overflow,
when the real component of X exceeds an unspecified threshold that is
approximately log(Complex_Types.Real'Safe_Last).  This permission
recognizes the impracticality of avoiding overflow in the marginal case
that the exponential of the real component of X exceeds the safe range
of Complex_Types.Real but both components of the final result do not.
Similarly, the Sin and Cos (resp., Sinh and Cosh) functions are allowed
to raise the exception Constraint_Error, signaling overflow, when the
absolute value of the imaginary (resp., real) component of the parameter
X exceeds an unspecified threshold that is approximately
log(Complex_Types.Real'Safe_Last) + log(2.0).  This permission
recognizes the impracticality of avoiding overflow in the marginal case
that the hyperbolic sine or cosine of the imaginary (resp., real)
component of X exceeds the safe range of Complex_Types.Real but both
components of the final result do not.

                        _Implementation Advice_

49
Implementations in which Complex_Types.Real'Signed_Zeros is True should
attempt to provide a rational treatment of the signs of zero results and
result components.  For example, many of the complex elementary
functions have components that are odd functions of one of the parameter
components; in these cases, the result component should have the sign of
the parameter component at the origin.  Other complex elementary
functions have zero components whose sign is opposite that of a
parameter component at the origin, or is always positive or always
negative.

49.a.1/3
          Implementation Advice: If Complex_Types.Real'Signed_Zeros is
          True for Numerics.Generic_Complex_Elementary_Functions, a
          rational treatment of the signs of zero results and result
          components should be provided.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

49.a
          The semantics of Numerics.Generic_Complex_Elementary_Functions
          differs from Generic_Complex_Elementary_Functions as defined
          in ISO/IEC CD 13814 (for Ada 83) in the following ways:

49.b
             * The generic package is a child unit of the package
               defining the Argument_Error exception.

49.c
             * The proposed Generic_Complex_Elementary_Functions
               standard (for Ada 83) specified names for the nongeneric
               equivalents, if provided.  Here, those nongeneric
               equivalents are required.

49.d
             * The generic package imports an instance of
               Numerics.Generic_Complex_Types rather than a long list of
               individual types and operations exported by such an
               instance.

49.e
             * The dependence of the imaginary component of the Sqrt and
               Log functions on the sign of a zero parameter component
               is tied to the value of Complex_Types.Real'Signed_Zeros.

49.f
             * Conformance to accuracy requirements is conditional.

G.1.3 Complex Input-Output
--------------------------

1
The generic package Text_IO.Complex_IO defines procedures for the
formatted input and output of complex values.  The generic actual
parameter in an instantiation of Text_IO.Complex_IO is an instance of
Numerics.Generic_Complex_Types for some floating point subtype.
Exceptional conditions are reported by raising the appropriate exception
defined in Text_IO.

1.a
          Implementation Note: An implementation of Text_IO.Complex_IO
          can be built around an instance of Text_IO.Float_IO for the
          base subtype of Complex_Types.Real, where Complex_Types is the
          generic formal package parameter of Text_IO.Complex_IO. There
          is no need for an implementation of Text_IO.Complex_IO to
          parse real values.

                          _Static Semantics_

2
The generic library package Text_IO.Complex_IO has the following
declaration:

2.a
          Ramification: Because this is a child of Text_IO, the
          declarations of the visible part of Text_IO are directly
          visible within it.

        use Complex_Types;

                       Aft  : in Field := Default_Aft;
                       Exp  : in Field := Default_Exp);

     end Ada.Text_IO.Complex_IO;

9.1/2
{<AI95-00328-01AI95-00328-01>} The library package Complex_Text_IO
defines the same subprograms as Text_IO.Complex_IO, except that the
predefined type Float is systematically substituted for Real, and the
type Numerics.Complex_Types.Complex is systematically substituted for
Complex throughout.  Nongeneric equivalents of Text_IO.Complex_IO
corresponding to each of the other predefined floating point types are
defined similarly, with the names Short_Complex_Text_IO,
Long_Complex_Text_IO, etc.

9.a/2
          Reason: The nongeneric equivalents are provided to allow the
          programmer to construct simple mathematical applications
          without being required to understand and use generics.

10
The semantics of the Get and Put procedures are as follows:

11
     procedure Get (File  : in  File_Type;
                    Item  : out Complex;
                    Width : in  Field := 0);
     procedure Get (Item  : out Complex;
                    Width : in  Field := 0);

12/1
          {<8652/00928652/0092>} {<AI95-00029-01AI95-00029-01>} The
          input sequence is a pair of optionally signed real literals
          representing the real and imaginary components of a complex
          value.  These components have the format defined for the
          corresponding Get procedure of an instance of Text_IO.Float_IO
          (see *note A.10.9::) for the base subtype of
          Complex_Types.Real.  The pair of components may be separated
          by a comma or surrounded by a pair of parentheses or both.
          Blanks are freely allowed before each of the components and
          before the parentheses and comma, if either is used.  If the
          value of the parameter Width is zero, then

13
             * line and page terminators are also allowed in these
               places;

14
             * the components shall be separated by at least one blank
               or line terminator if the comma is omitted; and

15
             * reading stops when the right parenthesis has been read,
               if the input sequence includes a left parenthesis, or
               when the imaginary component has been read, otherwise.

15.1
          If a nonzero value of Width is supplied, then

16
             * the components shall be separated by at least one blank
               if the comma is omitted; and

17
             * exactly Width characters are read, or the characters
               (possibly none) up to a line terminator, whichever comes
               first (blanks are included in the count).

17.a
          Reason: The parenthesized and comma-separated form is the form
          produced by Put on output (see below), and also by
          list-directed output in Fortran.  The other allowed forms
          match several common styles of edit-directed output in
          Fortran, allowing most preexisting Fortran data files
          containing complex data to be read easily.  When such files
          contain complex values with no separation between the real and
          imaginary components, the user will have to read those
          components separately, using an instance of Text_IO.Float_IO.

18
          Returns, in the parameter Item, the value of type Complex that
          corresponds to the input sequence.

19
          The exception Text_IO.Data_Error is raised if the input
          sequence does not have the required syntax or if the
          components of the complex value obtained are not of the base
          subtype of Complex_Types.Real.

20
     procedure Put (File : in File_Type;
                    Item : in Complex;
                    Fore : in Field := Default_Fore;
                    Aft  : in Field := Default_Aft;
                    Exp  : in Field := Default_Exp);
     procedure Put (Item : in Complex;
                    Fore : in Field := Default_Fore;
                    Aft  : in Field := Default_Aft;
                    Exp  : in Field := Default_Exp);

21
          Outputs the value of the parameter Item as a pair of decimal
          literals representing the real and imaginary components of the
          complex value, using the syntax of an aggregate.  More
          specifically,

22
             * outputs a left parenthesis;

23
             * outputs the value of the real component of the parameter
               Item with the format defined by the corresponding Put
               procedure of an instance of Text_IO.Float_IO for the base
               subtype of Complex_Types.Real, using the given values of
               Fore, Aft, and Exp;

24
             * outputs a comma;

25
             * outputs the value of the imaginary component of the
               parameter Item with the format defined by the
               corresponding Put procedure of an instance of
               Text_IO.Float_IO for the base subtype of
               Complex_Types.Real, using the given values of Fore, Aft,
               and Exp;

26
             * outputs a right parenthesis.

26.a
          Discussion: If the file has a bounded line length, a line
          terminator may be output implicitly before any element of the
          sequence itemized above.

26.b
          Discussion: The option of outputting the complex value as a
          pair of reals without additional punctuation is not provided,
          since it can be accomplished by outputting the real and
          imaginary components of the complex value separately.

27
     procedure Get (From : in  String;
                    Item : out Complex;
                    Last : out Positive);

28/2
          {<AI95-00434-01AI95-00434-01>} Reads a complex value from the
          beginning of the given string, following the same rule as the
          Get procedure that reads a complex value from a file, but
          treating the end of the string as a file terminator.  Returns,
          in the parameter Item, the value of type Complex that
          corresponds to the input sequence.  Returns in Last the index
          value such that From(Last) is the last character read.

29
          The exception Text_IO.Data_Error is raised if the input
          sequence does not have the required syntax or if the
          components of the complex value obtained are not of the base
          subtype of Complex_Types.Real.

30
     procedure Put (To   : out String;
                    Item : in  Complex;
                    Aft  : in  Field := Default_Aft;
                    Exp  : in  Field := Default_Exp);

31
          Outputs the value of the parameter Item to the given string as
          a pair of decimal literals representing the real and imaginary
          components of the complex value, using the syntax of an
          aggregate.  More specifically,

32
             * a left parenthesis, the real component, and a comma are
               left justified in the given string, with the real
               component having the format defined by the Put procedure
               (for output to a file) of an instance of Text_IO.Float_IO
               for the base subtype of Complex_Types.Real, using a value
               of zero for Fore and the given values of Aft and Exp;

33
             * the imaginary component and a right parenthesis are right
               justified in the given string, with the imaginary
               component having the format defined by the Put procedure
               (for output to a file) of an instance of Text_IO.Float_IO
               for the base subtype of Complex_Types.Real, using a value
               for Fore that completely fills the remainder of the
               string, together with the given values of Aft and Exp.

33.a
          Reason: This rule is the one proposed in LSN-1051.  Other
          rules were considered, including one that would have read
          "Outputs the value of the parameter Item to the given string,
          following the same rule as for output to a file, using a value
          for Fore such that the sequence of characters output exactly
          fills, or comes closest to filling, the string; in the latter
          case, the string is filled by inserting one extra blank
          immediately after the comma."  While this latter rule might be
          considered the closest analogue to the rule for output to a
          string in Text_IO.Float_IO, it requires a more difficult and
          inefficient implementation involving special cases when the
          integer part of one component is substantially longer than
          that of the other and the string is too short to allow both to
          be preceded by blanks.  Unless such a special case applies,
          the latter rule might produce better columnar output if
          several such strings are ultimately output to a file, but very
          nearly the same output can be produced by outputting to the
          file directly, with the appropriate value of Fore; in any
          case, it might validly be assumed that output to a string is
          intended for further computation rather than for display, so
          that the precise formatting of the string to achieve a
          particular appearance is not the major concern.

34
          The exception Text_IO.Layout_Error is raised if the given

G.2 Numeric Performance Requirements
====================================

                     _Implementation Requirements_

1
Implementations shall provide a user-selectable mode in which the
accuracy and other numeric performance requirements detailed in the
following subclauses are observed.  This mode, referred to as the
<strict mode>, may or may not be the default mode; it directly affects
the results of the predefined arithmetic operations of real types and
the results of the subprograms in children of the Numerics package, and
indirectly affects the operations in other language defined packages.
Implementations shall also provide the opposing mode, which is known as
the <relaxed mode>.

1.a
          Reason: On the assumption that the users of an implementation
          that does not support the Numerics Annex have no particular
          need for numerical performance, such an implementation has no
          obligation to meet any particular requirements in this area.
          On the other hand, users of an implementation that does
          support the Numerics Annex are provided with a way of ensuring
          that their programs achieve a known level of numerical
          performance and that the performance is portable to other such
          implementations.  The relaxed mode is provided to allow
          implementers to offer an efficient but not fully accurate
          alternative in the case that the strict mode entails a time
          overhead that some users may find excessive.  In some of its
          areas of impact, the relaxed mode may be fully equivalent to
          the strict mode.

1.b
          Implementation Note: The relaxed mode may, for example, be
          used to exploit the implementation of (some of) the elementary
          functions in hardware, when available.  Such implementations
          often do not meet the accuracy requirements of the strict
          mode, or do not meet them over the specified range of
          parameter values, but compensate in other ways that may be
          important to the user, such as their extreme speed.

1.c
          Ramification: For implementations supporting the Numerics
          Annex, the choice of mode has no effect on the selection of a
          representation for a real type or on the values of attributes
          of a real type.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

2
Either mode may be the default mode.

2.a
          Implementation defined: Whether the strict mode or the relaxed
          mode is the default.

3
The two modes need not actually be different.

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

3.a
          The choice between strict and relaxed numeric performance was
          not available in Ada 83.

G.2.1 Model of Floating Point Arithmetic
----------------------------------------

1
In the strict mode, the predefined operations of a floating point type
shall satisfy the accuracy requirements specified here and shall avoid
or signal overflow in the situations described.  This behavior is
presented in terms of a model of floating point arithmetic that builds
on the concept of the canonical form (see *note A.5.3::).

                          _Static Semantics_

2
Associated with each floating point type is an infinite set of model
numbers.  The model numbers of a type are used to define the accuracy
requirements that have to be satisfied by certain predefined operations
of the type; through certain attributes of the model numbers, they are
also used to explain the meaning of a user-declared floating point type
declaration.  The model numbers of a derived type are those of the
parent type; the model numbers of a subtype are those of its type.

3
The <model numbers> of a floating point type T are zero and all the
values expressible in the canonical form (for the type T), in which
<mantissa> has T'Model_Mantissa digits and <exponent> has a value
greater than or equal to T'Model_Emin.  (These attributes are defined in
*note G.2.2::.)

3.a
          Discussion: The model is capable of describing the behavior of
          most existing hardware that has a mantissa-exponent
          representation.  As applied to a type T, it is parameterized
          by the values of T'Machine_Radix, T'Model_Mantissa,
          T'Model_Emin, T'Safe_First, and T'Safe_Last.  The values of
          these attributes are determined by how, and how well, the
          hardware behaves.  They in turn determine the set of model
          numbers and the safe range of the type, which figure in the
          accuracy and range (overflow avoidance) requirements.

3.b
          In hardware that is free of arithmetic anomalies,
          T'Model_Mantissa, T'Model_Emin, T'Safe_First, and T'Safe_Last
          will yield the same values as T'Machine_Mantissa,
          T'Machine_Emin, T'Base'First, and T'Base'Last, respectively,
          and the model numbers in the safe range of the type T will
          coincide with the machine numbers of the type T. In less
          perfect hardware, it is not possible for the model-oriented
          attributes to have these optimal values, since the hardware,
          by definition, and therefore the implementation, cannot
          conform to the stringencies of the resulting model; in this
          case, the values yielded by the model-oriented parameters have
          to be made more conservative (i.e., have to be penalized),
          with the result that the model numbers are more widely
          separated than the machine numbers, and the safe range is a
          subrange of the base range.  The implementation will then be
          able to conform to the requirements of the weaker model
          defined by the sparser set of model numbers and the smaller
          safe range.

4
A <model interval> of a floating point type is any interval whose bounds
are model numbers of the type.  The <model interval> of a type T
<associated with a value> <v> is the smallest model interval of T that
includes <v>.  (The model interval associated with a model number of a
type consists of that number only.)

                     _Implementation Requirements_

5
The accuracy requirements for the evaluation of certain predefined
operations of floating point types are as follows.

5.a
          Discussion: This subclause does not cover the accuracy of an
          operation of a static expression; such operations have to be
          evaluated exactly (see *note 4.9::).  It also does not cover
          the accuracy of the predefined attributes of a floating point
          subtype that yield a value of the type; such operations also
          yield exact results (see *note 3.5.8:: and *note A.5.3::).

6
An <operand interval> is the model interval, of the type specified for
the operand of an operation, associated with the value of the operand.

7
For any predefined arithmetic operation that yields a result of a
floating point type T, the required bounds on the result are given by a
model interval of T (called the <result interval>) defined in terms of
the operand values as follows:

8
   * The result interval is the smallest model interval of T that
     includes the minimum and the maximum of all the values obtained by
     applying the (exact) mathematical operation to values arbitrarily
     selected from the respective operand intervals.

9
The result interval of an exponentiation is obtained by applying the
above rule to the sequence of multiplications defined by the exponent,
assuming arbitrary association of the factors, and to the final division
in the case of a negative exponent.

10
The result interval of a conversion of a numeric value to a floating
point type T is the model interval of T associated with the operand
value, except when the source expression is of a fixed point type with a
<small> that is not a power of T'Machine_Radix or is a fixed point
multiplication or division either of whose operands has a <small> that
is not a power of T'Machine_Radix; in these cases, the result interval
is implementation defined.

10.a
          Implementation defined: The result interval in certain cases
          of fixed-to-float conversion.

11
For any of the foregoing operations, the implementation shall deliver a
value that belongs to the result interval when both bounds of the result
interval are in the safe range of the result type T, as determined by
the values of T'Safe_First and T'Safe_Last; otherwise,

12
   * if T'Machine_Overflows is True, the implementation shall either
     deliver a value that belongs to the result interval or raise
     Constraint_Error;

13
   * if T'Machine_Overflows is False, the result is implementation
     defined.

13.a
          Implementation defined: The result of a floating point
          arithmetic operation in overflow situations, when the
          Machine_Overflows attribute of the result type is False.

14
For any predefined relation on operands of a floating point type T, the
implementation may deliver any value (i.e., either True or False)
obtained by applying the (exact) mathematical comparison to values
arbitrarily chosen from the respective operand intervals.

15
The result of a membership test is defined in terms of comparisons of
the operand value with the lower and upper bounds of the given range or
type mark (the usual rules apply to these comparisons).

                     _Implementation Permissions_

16
If the underlying floating point hardware implements division as
multiplication by a reciprocal, the result interval for division (and
exponentiation by a negative exponent) is implementation defined.

16.a
          Implementation defined: The result interval for division (or
          exponentiation by a negative exponent), when the floating
          point hardware implements division as multiplication by a
          reciprocal.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

16.b
          The Ada 95 model numbers of a floating point type that are in
          the safe range of the type are comparable to the Ada 83 safe
          numbers of the type.  There is no analog of the Ada 83 model
          numbers.  The Ada 95 model numbers, when not restricted to the
          safe range, are an infinite set.

                     _Inconsistencies With Ada 83_

16.c
          Giving the model numbers the hardware radix, instead of always
          a radix of two, allows (in conjunction with other changes)
          some borderline declared types to be represented with less
          precision than in Ada 83 (i.e., with single precision, whereas
          Ada 83 would have used double precision).  Because the lower
          precision satisfies the requirements of the model (and did so
          in Ada 83 as well), this change is viewed as a desirable
          correction of an anomaly, rather than a worrisome
          inconsistency.  (Of course, the wider representation chosen in
          Ada 83 also remains eligible for selection in Ada 95.)

16.d
          As an example of this phenomenon, assume that Float is
          represented in single precision and that a double precision
          type is also available.  Also assume hexadecimal hardware with
          clean properties, for example certain IBM hardware.  Then,

16.e
               type T is digits Float'Digits range -Float'Last .. Float'Last;

16.f
          results in T being represented in double precision in Ada 83
          and in single precision in Ada 95.  The latter is intuitively
          correct; the former is counterintuitive.  The reason why the
          double precision type is used in Ada 83 is that Float has
          model and safe numbers (in Ada 83) with 21 binary digits in
          their mantissas, as is required to model the hypothesized
          hexadecimal hardware using a binary radix; thus Float'Last,
          which is not a model number, is slightly outside the range of
          safe numbers of the single precision type, making that type
          ineligible for selection as the representation of T even
          though it provides adequate precision.  In Ada 95, Float'Last
          (the same value as before) is a model number and is in the
          safe range of Float on the hypothesized hardware, making Float
          eligible for the representation of T.

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

16.g
          Giving the model numbers the hardware radix allows for
          practical implementations on decimal hardware.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

16.h
          The wording of the model of floating point arithmetic has been
          simplified to a large extent.

G.2.2 Model-Oriented Attributes of Floating Point Types
-------------------------------------------------------

1
In implementations that support the Numerics Annex, the model-oriented
attributes of floating point types shall yield the values defined here,
in both the strict and the relaxed modes.  These definitions add
conditions to those in *note A.5.3::.

                          _Static Semantics_

2
For every subtype S of a floating point type <T>:

3/2
{<AI95-00256-01AI95-00256-01>} S'Model_Mantissa
               Yields the number of digits in the mantissa of the
               canonical form of the model numbers of <T> (see *note
               A.5.3::).  The value of this attribute shall be greater
               than or equal to

3.1/2
                    'ceiling(<d> · log(10) / log(<T>'Machine_Radix))' + <g>

3.2/2
               where <d> is the requested decimal precision of <T>, and
               <g> is 0 if <T>'Machine_Radix is a positive power of 10
               and 1 otherwise.  In addition, <T>'Model_Mantissa shall
               be less than or equal to the value of
               <T>'Machine_Mantissa.  This attribute yields a value of
               the type <universal_integer>.

3.a
          Ramification: S'Model_Epsilon, which is defined in terms of
          S'Model_Mantissa (see *note A.5.3::), yields the absolute
          value of the difference between one and the next model number
          of the type <T> above one.  It is equal to or larger than the
          absolute value of the difference between one and the next
          machine number of the type <T> above one.

4
S'Model_Emin
               Yields the minimum exponent of the canonical form of the
               model numbers of <T> (see *note A.5.3::).  The value of
               this attribute shall be greater than or equal to the
               value of <T>'Machine_Emin.  This attribute yields a value
               of the type <universal_integer>.

4.a
          Ramification: S'Model_Small, which is defined in terms of
          S'Model_Emin (see *note A.5.3::), yields the smallest positive
          (nonzero) model number of the type <T>.

5
S'Safe_First
               Yields the lower bound of the safe range of <T>.  The
               value of this attribute shall be a model number of <T>
               and greater than or equal to the lower bound of the base
               range of <T>.  In addition, if <T> is declared by a
               floating_point_definition or is derived from such a type,
               and the floating_point_definition includes a
               real_range_specification specifying a lower bound of
               <lb>, then the value of this attribute shall be less than
               or equal to <lb>; otherwise, it shall be less than or
               equal to -10.0 4 · <d>, where <d> is the requested
               decimal precision of <T>.  This attribute yields a value
               of the type <universal_real>.

6
S'Safe_Last
               Yields the upper bound of the safe range of <T>.  The
               value of this attribute shall be a model number of <T>
               and less than or equal to the upper bound of the base
               range of <T>.  In addition, if <T> is declared by a
               floating_point_definition or is derived from such a type,
               and the floating_point_definition includes a
               real_range_specification specifying an upper bound of
               <ub>, then the value of this attribute shall be greater
               than or equal to <ub>; otherwise, it shall be greater
               than or equal to 10.0 4 · <d>, where d is the requested
               decimal precision of <T>.  This attribute yields a value
               of the type <universal_real>.

7
S'Model
               Denotes a function (of a parameter <X>) whose
               specification is given in *note A.5.3::.  If <X> is a
               model number of <T>, the function yields <X>; otherwise,
               it yields the value obtained by rounding or truncating
               <X> to either one of the adjacent model numbers of <T>.  
               Constraint_Error is raised if the resulting model number
               is outside the safe range of S. A zero result has the
               sign of <X> when S'Signed_Zeros is True.

8
Subject to the constraints given above, the values of S'Model_Mantissa
and S'Safe_Last are to be maximized, and the values of S'Model_Emin and
S'Safe_First minimized, by the implementation as follows:

9
   * First, S'Model_Mantissa is set to the largest value for which
     values of S'Model_Emin, S'Safe_First, and S'Safe_Last can be chosen
     so that the implementation satisfies the strict-mode requirements
     of *note G.2.1:: in terms of the model numbers and safe range
     induced by these attributes.

10
   * Next, S'Model_Emin is set to the smallest value for which values of
     S'Safe_First and S'Safe_Last can be chosen so that the
     implementation satisfies the strict-mode requirements of *note
     G.2.1:: in terms of the model numbers and safe range induced by
     these attributes and the previously determined value of
     S'Model_Mantissa.

11/3
   * {<AI05-0092-1AI05-0092-1>} Finally, S'Safe_First and S'Safe_Last
     are set (in either order) to the smallest and largest values,
     respectively, for which the implementation satisfies the
     strict-mode requirements of *note G.2.1:: in terms of the model
     numbers and safe range induced by these attributes and the
     previously determined values of S'Model_Mantissa and S'Model_Emin.

11.a
          Ramification: The following table shows appropriate attribute
          values for IEEE basic single and double precision types
          (ANSI/IEEE Std 754-1985, IEC 559:1989).  Here, we use the
          names IEEE_Float_32 and IEEE_Float_64, the names that would
          typically be declared in package Interfaces, in an
          implementation that supports IEEE arithmetic.  In such an
          implementation, the attributes would typically be the same for
          Standard.Float and Long_Float, respectively.

G.2.3 Model of Fixed Point Arithmetic
-------------------------------------

1
In the strict mode, the predefined arithmetic operations of a fixed
point type shall satisfy the accuracy requirements specified here and
shall avoid or signal overflow in the situations described.

                     _Implementation Requirements_

2
The accuracy requirements for the predefined fixed point arithmetic
operations and conversions, and the results of relations on fixed point
operands, are given below.

2.a
          Discussion: This subclause does not cover the accuracy of an
          operation of a static expression; such operations have to be
          evaluated exactly (see *note 4.9::).

3
The operands of the fixed point adding operators, absolute value, and
comparisons have the same type.  These operations are required to yield
exact results, unless they overflow.

4
Multiplications and divisions are allowed between operands of any two
fixed point types; the result has to be (implicitly or explicitly)
converted to some other numeric type.  For purposes of defining the
accuracy rules, the multiplication or division and the conversion are
treated as a single operation whose accuracy depends on three types
(those of the operands and the result).  For decimal fixed point types,
the attribute T'Round may be used to imply explicit conversion with
rounding (see *note 3.5.10::).

5
When the result type is a floating point type, the accuracy is as given
in *note G.2.1::.  For some combinations of the operand and result types
in the remaining cases, the result is required to belong to a small set
of values called the <perfect result set>; for other combinations, it is
required merely to belong to a generally larger and
implementation-defined set of values called the <close result set>.
When the result type is a decimal fixed point type, the perfect result
set contains a single value; thus, operations on decimal types are
always fully specified.

5.a
          Implementation defined: The definition of <close result set>,
          which determines the accuracy of certain fixed point
          multiplications and divisions.

6
When one operand of a fixed-fixed multiplication or division is of type
<universal_real>, that operand is not implicitly converted in the usual
sense, since the context does not determine a unique target type, but
the accuracy of the result of the multiplication or division (i.e.,
whether the result has to belong to the perfect result set or merely the
close result set) depends on the value of the operand of type
<universal_real> and on the types of the other operand and of the
result.

6.a
          Discussion: We need not consider here the multiplication or
          division of two such operands, since in that case either the
          operation is evaluated exactly (i.e., it is an operation of a
          static expression all of whose operators are of a root numeric
          type) or it is considered to be an operation of a floating
          point type.

7
For a fixed point multiplication or division whose (exact) mathematical
result is <v>, and for the conversion of a value <v> to a fixed point
type, the perfect result set and close result set are defined as
follows:

8
   * If the result type is an ordinary fixed point type with a <small>
     of <s>,

9
             * if <v> is an integer multiple of <s>, then the perfect
               result set contains only the value <v>;

10
             * otherwise, it contains the integer multiple of <s> just
               below <v> and the integer multiple of <s> just above <v>.

11
     The close result set is an implementation-defined set of
     consecutive integer multiples of <s> containing the perfect result
     set as a subset.

12
   * If the result type is a decimal type with a <small> of <s>,

13
             * if <v> is an integer multiple of <s>, then the perfect
               result set contains only the value <v>;

14/3
             * {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} otherwise, if truncation
               applies, then it contains only the integer multiple of
               <s> in the direction toward zero, whereas if rounding
               applies, then it contains only the nearest integer
               multiple of <s> (with ties broken by rounding away from
               zero).

15
     The close result set is an implementation-defined set of
     consecutive integer multiples of <s> containing the perfect result
     set as a subset.

15.a
          Ramification: As a consequence of subsequent rules, this case
          does not arise when the operand types are also decimal types.

16
   * If the result type is an integer type,

17
             * if <v> is an integer, then the perfect result set
               contains only the value <v>;

18
             * otherwise, it contains the integer nearest to the value
               <v> (if <v> lies equally distant from two consecutive
               integers, the perfect result set contains the one that is
               further from zero).

19
     The close result set is an implementation-defined set of
     consecutive integers containing the perfect result set as a subset.

20
The result of a fixed point multiplication or division shall belong
either to the perfect result set or to the close result set, as
described below, if overflow does not occur.  In the following cases, if
the result type is a fixed point type, let <s> be its <small>;
otherwise, i.e.  when the result type is an integer type, let <s> be
1.0.

21
   * For a multiplication or division neither of whose operands is of
     type <universal_real>, let <l> and <r> be the <smalls> of the left
     and right operands.  For a multiplication, if (<l> · <r>) / <s> is
     an integer or the reciprocal of an integer (the <smalls> are said
     to be "compatible" in this case), the result shall belong to the
     perfect result set; otherwise, it belongs to the close result set.
     For a division, if <l> / (<r> · <s>) is an integer or the
     reciprocal of an integer (i.e., the <smalls> are compatible), the
     result shall belong to the perfect result set; otherwise, it
     belongs to the close result set.

21.a
          Ramification: When the operand and result types are all
          decimal types, their <smalls> are necessarily compatible; the
          same is true when they are all ordinary fixed point types with
          binary <smalls>.

22
   * For a multiplication or division having one <universal_real>
     operand with a value of <v>, note that it is always possible to
     factor <v> as an integer multiple of a "compatible" <small>, but
     the integer multiple may be "too big."  If there exists a
     factorization in which that multiple is less than some
     implementation-defined limit, the result shall belong to the
     perfect result set; otherwise, it belongs to the close result set.

22.a
          Implementation defined: Conditions on a <universal_real>
          operand of a fixed point multiplication or division for which
          the result shall be in the <perfect result set>.

23
A multiplication P * Q of an operand of a fixed point type F by an
operand of an integer type I, or vice-versa, and a division P / Q of an
operand of a fixed point type F by an operand of an integer type I, are
also allowed.  In these cases, the result has a type of F; explicit
conversion of the result is never required.  The accuracy required in
these cases is the same as that required for a multiplication F(P * Q)
or a division F(P / Q) obtained by interpreting the operand of the
integer type to have a fixed point type with a <small> of 1.0.

24
The accuracy of the result of a conversion from an integer or fixed
point type to a fixed point type, or from a fixed point type to an
integer type, is the same as that of a fixed point multiplication of the
source value by a fixed point operand having a <small> of 1.0 and a
value of 1.0, as given by the foregoing rules.  The result of a
conversion from a floating point type to a fixed point type shall belong
to the close result set.  The result of a conversion of a
<universal_real> operand to a fixed point type shall belong to the
perfect result set.

25
The possibility of overflow in the result of a predefined arithmetic
operation or conversion yielding a result of a fixed point type T is
analogous to that for floating point types, except for being related to
the base range instead of the safe range.  If all of the permitted
results belong to the base range of T, then the implementation shall
deliver one of the permitted results; otherwise,

26
   * if T'Machine_Overflows is True, the implementation shall either
     deliver one of the permitted results or raise Constraint_Error;

27
   * if T'Machine_Overflows is False, the result is implementation
     defined.

27.a
          Implementation defined: The result of a fixed point arithmetic
          operation in overflow situations, when the Machine_Overflows
          attribute of the result type is False.

                     _Inconsistencies With Ada 83_

27.b
          Since the values of a fixed point type are now just the
          integer multiples of its <small>, the possibility of using
          extra bits available in the chosen representation for extra
          accuracy rather than for increasing the base range would
          appear to be removed, raising the possibility that some fixed
          point expressions will yield less accurate results than in Ada
          83.  However, this is partially offset by the ability of an
          implementation to choose a smaller default <small> than
          before.  Of course, if it does so for a type T then T'Small
          will have a different value than it previously had.

27.c
          The accuracy requirements in the case of incompatible <smalls>
          are relaxed to foster wider support for nonbinary <smalls>.
          If this relaxation is exploited for a type that was previously
          supported, lower accuracy could result; however, there is no
          particular incentive to exploit the relaxation in such a case.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

27.d
          The fixed point accuracy requirements are now expressed
          without reference to model or safe numbers, largely because
          the full generality of the former model was never exploited in
          the case of fixed point types (particularly in regard to
          operand perturbation).  Although the new formulation in terms
          of perfect result sets and close result sets is still verbose,
          it can be seen to distill down to two cases:

27.e
             * a case where the result must be the exact result, if the
               exact result is representable, or, if not, then either
               one of the adjacent values of the type (in some subcases
               only one of those adjacent values is allowed);

27.f
             * a case where the accuracy is not specified by the
               language.

G.2.4 Accuracy Requirements for the Elementary Functions
--------------------------------------------------------

1
In the strict mode, the performance of
Numerics.Generic_Elementary_Functions shall be as specified here.

                     _Implementation Requirements_

2
When an exception is not raised, the result of evaluating a function in
an instance <EF> of Numerics.Generic_Elementary_Functions belongs to a
<result interval>, defined as the smallest model interval of
<EF>.Float_Type that contains all the values of the form <f> · (1.0 +
<d>), where <f> is the exact value of the corresponding mathematical
function at the given parameter values, <d> is a real number, and |<d>|
is less than or equal to the function's <maximum relative error>.  The
function delivers a value that belongs to the result interval when both
of its bounds belong to the safe range of <EF>.Float_Type; otherwise,

3
   * if <EF>.Float_Type'Machine_Overflows is True, the function either
     delivers a value that belongs to the result interval or raises
     Constraint_Error, signaling overflow;

4
   * if <EF>.Float_Type'Machine_Overflows is False, the result is
     implementation defined.

4.a
          Implementation defined: The result of an elementary function
          reference in overflow situations, when the Machine_Overflows
          attribute of the result type is False.

5
The maximum relative error exhibited by each function is as follows:

6
   * 2.0 · <EF>.Float_Type'Model_Epsilon, in the case of the Sqrt, Sin,
     and Cos functions;

7
   * 4.0 · <EF>.Float_Type'Model_Epsilon, in the case of the Log, Exp,
     Tan, Cot, and inverse trigonometric functions; and

8
   * 8.0 · <EF>.Float_Type'Model_Epsilon, in the case of the forward and
     inverse hyperbolic functions.

9
The maximum relative error exhibited by the exponentiation operator,
which depends on the values of the operands, is (4.0 + |Right ·
log(Left)| / 32.0) · <EF>.Float_Type'Model_Epsilon.

10
The maximum relative error given above applies throughout the domain of
the forward trigonometric functions when the Cycle parameter is
specified.  When the Cycle parameter is omitted, the maximum relative
error given above applies only when the absolute value of the angle
parameter X is less than or equal to some implementation-defined <angle
threshold>, which shall be at least <EF>.Float_Type'Machine_Radix
'floor(<EF>.Float_Type'Machine_Mantissa/2)'.  Beyond the angle
threshold, the accuracy of the forward trigonometric functions is
implementation defined.

10.a
          Implementation defined: The value of the <angle threshold>,
          within which certain elementary functions, complex arithmetic
          operations, and complex elementary functions yield results
          conforming to a maximum relative error bound.

10.b
          Implementation defined: The accuracy of certain elementary
          functions for parameters beyond the angle threshold.

10.c
          Implementation Note: The angle threshold indirectly determines
          the amount of precision that the implementation has to
          maintain during argument reduction.

11/2
{<AI95-00434-01AI95-00434-01>} The prescribed results specified in *note
A.5.1:: for certain functions at particular parameter values take
precedence over the maximum relative error bounds; effectively, they
narrow to a single value the result interval allowed by the maximum
relative error bounds.  Additional rules with a similar effect are given
by table G-1 for the inverse trigonometric functions, at particular
parameter values for which the mathematical result is possibly not a
model number of <EF>.Float_Type (or is, indeed, even transcendental).
In each table entry, the values of the parameters are such that the
result lies on the axis between two quadrants; the corresponding
accuracy rule, which takes precedence over the maximum relative error
bounds, is that the result interval is the model interval of
<EF>.Float_Type associated with the exact mathematical result given in
the table.

12/1
<This paragraph was deleted.>

13
The last line of the table is meant to apply when
<EF>.Float_Type'Signed_Zeros is False; the two lines just above it, when
<EF>.Float_Type'Signed_Zeros is True and the parameter Y has a zero
value with the indicated sign.

14
The amount by which the result of an inverse trigonometric function is
allowed to spill over into a quadrant adjacent to the one corresponding
to the principal branch, as given in *note A.5.1::, is limited.  The
rule is that the result belongs to the smallest model interval of
<EF>.Float_Type that contains both boundaries of the quadrant
corresponding to the principal branch.  This rule also takes precedence
over the maximum relative error bounds, effectively narrowing the result
interval allowed by them.

15
Finally, the following specifications also take precedence over the
maximum relative error bounds:

16
   * The absolute value of the result of the Sin, Cos, and Tanh
     functions never exceeds one.

17
   * The absolute value of the result of the Coth function is never less
     than one.

18
   * The result of the Cosh function is never less than one.

                        _Implementation Advice_

19
The versions of the forward trigonometric functions without a Cycle
parameter should not be implemented by calling the corresponding version
with a Cycle parameter of 2.0*Numerics.Pi, since this will not provide
the required accuracy in some portions of the domain.  For the same
reason, the version of Log without a Base parameter should not be
implemented by calling the corresponding version with a Base parameter
of Numerics.e.

19.a.1/2
          Implementation Advice: For elementary functions, the forward
          trigonometric functions without a Cycle parameter should not
          be implemented by calling the corresponding version with a
          Cycle parameter.  Log without a Base parameter should not be
          implemented by calling Log with a Base parameter.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

19.a
          The semantics of Numerics.Generic_Elementary_Functions differs
          from Generic_Elementary_Functions as defined in ISO/IEC DIS
          11430 (for Ada 83) in the following ways related to the
          accuracy specified for strict mode:

19.b
             * The maximum relative error bounds use the Model_Epsilon
               attribute instead of the Base'Epsilon attribute.

19.c
             * The accuracy requirements are expressed in terms of
               result intervals that are model intervals.  On the one
               hand, this facilitates the description of the required
               results in the presence of underflow; on the other hand,
               it slightly relaxes the requirements expressed in ISO/IEC
               DIS 11430.

G.2.5 Performance Requirements for Random Number Generation
-----------------------------------------------------------

1
In the strict mode, the performance of Numerics.Float_Random and
Numerics.Discrete_Random shall be as specified here.

                     _Implementation Requirements_

2
Two different calls to the time-dependent Reset procedure shall reset
the generator to different states, provided that the calls are separated
in time by at least one second and not more than fifty years.

3
The implementation's representations of generator states and its
algorithms for generating random numbers shall yield a period of at
least 231-2; much longer periods are desirable but not required.

4
The implementations of Numerics.Float_Random.Random and
Numerics.Discrete_Random.Random shall pass at least 85% of the
individual trials in a suite of statistical tests.  For
Numerics.Float_Random, the tests are applied directly to the floating
point values generated (i.e., they are not converted to integers first),
while for Numerics.Discrete_Random they are applied to the generated
values of various discrete types.  Each test suite performs 6 different
tests, with each test repeated 10 times, yielding a total of 60
individual trials.  An individual trial is deemed to pass if the
chi-square value (or other statistic) calculated for the observed counts
or distribution falls within the range of values corresponding to the
2.5 and 97.5 percentage points for the relevant degrees of freedom
(i.e., it shall be neither too high nor too low).  For the purpose of
determining the degrees of freedom, measurement categories are combined
whenever the expected counts are fewer than 5.

4.a
          Implementation Note: In the floating point random number test
          suite, the generator is reset to a time-dependent state at the
          beginning of the run.  The test suite incorporates the
          following tests, adapted from D. E. Knuth, <The Art of
          Computer Programming, vol.  2: Seminumerical Algorithms.> In
          the descriptions below, the given number of degrees of freedom
          is the number before reduction due to any necessary
          combination of measurement categories with small expected
          counts; it is one less than the number of measurement
          categories.

4.b
             * Proportional Distribution Test (a variant of the
               Equidistribution Test).  The interval 0.0 ..  1.0 is
               partitioned into <K> subintervals.  <K> is chosen
               randomly between 4 and 25 for each repetition of the
               test, along with the boundaries of the subintervals
               (subject to the constraint that at least 2 of the
               subintervals have a width of 0.001 or more).  5000 random
               floating point numbers are generated.  The counts of
               random numbers falling into each subinterval are tallied
               and compared with the expected counts, which are
               proportional to the widths of the subintervals.  The
               number of degrees of freedom for the chi-square test is
               <K>-1.

4.c
             * Gap Test.  The bounds of a range <A> ..  <B>, with 0.0 <=
               <A> < <B> <= 1.0, are chosen randomly for each repetition
               of the test, subject to the constraint that 0.2 <=
               <B>-<A> <= 0.6.  Random floating point numbers are
               generated until 5000 falling into the range <A> ..  <B>
               have been encountered.  Each of these 5000 is preceded by
               a "gap" (of length greater than or equal to 0) of
               consecutive random numbers not falling into the range <A>
               ..  <B>.  The counts of gaps of each length from 0 to 15,
               and of all lengths greater than 15 lumped together, are
               tallied and compared with the expected counts.  Let <P> =
               <B>-<A>.  The probability that a gap has a length of <L>
               is (1-<P>) <L> · <P> for <L> <= 15, while the probability
               that a gap has a length of 16 or more is (1-<P>) 16.  The
               number of degrees of freedom for the chi-square test is
               16.

4.d
             * Permutation Test.  5000 tuples of 4 different random
               floating point numbers are generated.  (An entire 4-tuple
               is discarded in the unlikely event that it contains any
               two exactly equal components.)  The counts of each of the
               4!  = 24 possible relative orderings of the components of
               the 4-tuples are tallied and compared with the expected
               counts.  Each of the possible relative orderings has an
               equal probability.  The number of degrees of freedom for
               the chi-square test is 23.

4.e
             * Increasing-Runs Test.  Random floating point numbers are
               generated until 5000 increasing runs have been observed.
               An "increasing run" is a sequence of random numbers in
               strictly increasing order; it is followed by a random
               number that is strictly smaller than the preceding random
               number.  (A run under construction is entirely discarded
               in the unlikely event that one random number is followed
               immediately by an exactly equal random number.)  The
               decreasing random number that follows an increasing run
               is discarded and not included with the next increasing
               run.  The counts of increasing runs of each length from 1
               to 4, and of all lengths greater than 4 lumped together,
               are tallied and compared with the expected counts.  The
               probability that an increasing run has a length of <L> is
               1/<L>!  - 1/(<L>+1)!  for <L> <= 4, while the probability
               that an increasing run has a length of 5 or more is 1/5!.
               The number of degrees of freedom for the chi-square test
               is 4.

4.f
             * Decreasing-Runs Test.  The test is similar to the
               Increasing Runs Test, but with decreasing runs.

4.g
             * Maximum-of-<t> Test (with <t> = 5).  5000 tuples of 5
               random floating point numbers are generated.  The maximum
               of the components of each 5-tuple is determined and
               raised to the 5th power.  The uniformity of the resulting
               values over the range 0.0 ..  1.0 is tested as in the
               Proportional Distribution Test.

4.h
          Implementation Note: In the discrete random number test suite,
          Numerics.Discrete_Random is instantiated as described below.
          The generator is reset to a time-dependent state after each
          instantiation.  The test suite incorporates the following
          tests, adapted from D. E. Knuth (<op.  cit.>) and other
          sources.  The given number of degrees of freedom for the
          chi-square test is reduced by any necessary combination of
          measurement categories with small expected counts, as
          described above.

4.i
             * Equidistribution Test.  In each repetition of the test, a
               number <R> between 2 and 30 is chosen randomly, and
               Numerics.Discrete_Random is instantiated with an integer
               subtype whose range is 1 ..  <R>.  5000 integers are
               generated randomly from this range.  The counts of
               occurrences of each integer in the range are tallied and
               compared with the expected counts, which have equal
               probabilities.  The number of degrees of freedom for the
               chi-square test is <R>-1.

4.j
             * Simplified Poker Test.  Numerics.Discrete_Random is
               instantiated once with an enumeration subtype
               representing the 13 denominations (Two through Ten, Jack,
               Queen, King, and Ace) of an infinite deck of playing
               cards.  2000 "poker" hands (5-tuples of values of this
               subtype) are generated randomly.  The counts of hands
               containing exactly <K> different denominations (1 <= <K>
               <= 5) are tallied and compared with the expected counts.
               The probability that a hand contains exactly <K>
               different denominations is given by a formula in Knuth.
               The number of degrees of freedom for the chi-square test
               is 4.

4.k
             * Coupon Collector's Test.  Numerics.Discrete_Random is
               instantiated in each repetition of the test with an
               integer subtype whose range is 1 ..  <R>, where <R>
               varies systematically from 2 to 11.  Integers are
               generated randomly from this range until each value in
               the range has occurred, and the number <K> of integers
               generated is recorded.  This constitutes a "coupon
               collector's segment" of length <K>.  2000 such segments
               are generated.  The counts of segments of each length
               from <R> to <R>+29, and of all lengths greater than
               <R>+29 lumped together, are tallied and compared with the
               expected counts.  The probability that a segment has any
               given length is given by formulas in Knuth.  The number
               of degrees of freedom for the chi-square test is 30.

4.l
             * Craps Test (Lengths of Games).  Numerics.Discrete_Random
               is instantiated once with an integer subtype whose range
               is 1 ..  6 (representing the six numbers on a die).  5000
               craps games are played, and their lengths are recorded.
               (The length of a craps game is the number of rolls of the
               pair of dice required to produce a win or a loss.  A game
               is won on the first roll if the dice show 7 or 11; it is
               lost if they show 2, 3, or 12.  If the dice show some
               other sum on the first roll, it is called the <point>,
               and the game is won if and only if the point is rolled
               again before a 7 is rolled.)  The counts of games of each
               length from 1 to 18, and of all lengths greater than 18
               lumped together, are tallied and compared with the
               expected counts.  For 2 <= <S> <= 12, let <D> <S> be the
               probability that a roll of a pair of dice shows the sum
               <S>, and let <Q> <S>(<L>) = <D> <S> · (1 - (<D> <S> + <D>
               7)) <L>-2 · (<D> <S> + <D> 7).  Then, the probability
               that a game has a length of 1 is <D> 7 + <D> 11 + <D> 2 +
               <D> 3 + <D> 12 and, for <L> > 1, the probability that a
               game has a length of <L> is <Q> 4(<L>) + <Q> 5(<L>) + <Q>
               6(<L>) + <Q> 8(<L>) + <Q> 9(<L>) + <Q> 10(<L>).  The
               number of degrees of freedom for the chi-square test is
               18.

4.m
             * Craps Test (Lengths of Passes).  This test is similar to
               the last, but enough craps games are played for 3000
               losses to occur.  A string of wins followed by a loss is
               called a <pass>, and its length is the number of wins
               preceding the loss.  The counts of passes of each length
               from 0 to 7, and of all lengths greater than 7 lumped
               together, are tallied and compared with the expected
               counts.  For <L> >= 0, the probability that a pass has a
               length of <L> is <W> <L> · (1-<W>), where <W>, the
               probability that a game ends in a win, is 244.0/495.0.
               The number of degrees of freedom for the chi-square test
               is 8.

4.n
             * Collision Test.  Numerics.Discrete_Random is instantiated
               once with an integer or enumeration type representing
               binary bits.  15 successive calls on the Random function
               are used to obtain the bits of a 15-bit binary integer
               between 0 and 32767.  3000 such integers are generated,
               and the number of collisions (integers previously
               generated) is counted and compared with the expected
               count.  A chi-square test is not used to assess the
               number of collisions; rather, the limits on the number of
               collisions, corresponding to the 2.5 and 97.5 percentage
               points, are (from formulas in Knuth) 112 and 154.  The
               test passes if and only if the number of collisions is in
               this range.

G.2.6 Accuracy Requirements for Complex Arithmetic
--------------------------------------------------

1
In the strict mode, the performance of Numerics.Generic_Complex_Types
and Numerics.Generic_Complex_Elementary_Functions shall be as specified
here.

                     _Implementation Requirements_

2
When an exception is not raised, the result of evaluating a real
function of an instance <CT> of Numerics.Generic_Complex_Types (i.e., a
function that yields a value of subtype <CT>.Real'Base or
<CT>.Imaginary) belongs to a result interval defined as for a real
elementary function (see *note G.2.4::).

3
When an exception is not raised, each component of the result of
evaluating a complex function of such an instance, or of an instance of
Numerics.Generic_Complex_Elementary_Functions obtained by instantiating
the latter with <CT> (i.e., a function that yields a value of subtype
<CT>.Complex), also belongs to a <result interval>.  The result
intervals for the components of the result are either defined by a
<maximum relative error> bound or by a <maximum box error> bound.  When
the result interval for the real (resp., imaginary) component is defined
by maximum relative error, it is defined as for that of a real function,
relative to the exact value of the real (resp., imaginary) part of the
result of the corresponding mathematical function.  When defined by
maximum box error, the result interval for a component of the result is
the smallest model interval of <CT>.Real that contains all the values of
the corresponding part of <f> · (1.0 + <d>), where <f> is the exact
complex value of the corresponding mathematical function at the given
parameter values, <d> is complex, and |<d>| is less than or equal to the
given maximum box error.  The function delivers a value that belongs to
the result interval (or a value both of whose components belong to their
respective result intervals) when both bounds of the result interval(s)
belong to the safe range of <CT>.Real; otherwise,

3.a
          Discussion: The maximum relative error could be specified
          separately for each component, but we do not take advantage of
          that freedom here.

3.b
          Discussion: Note that <f> · (1.0 + <d>) defines a small
          circular region of the complex plane centered at <f>, and the
          result intervals for the real and imaginary components of the
          result define a small rectangular box containing that circle.

3.c
          Reason: Box error is used when the computation of the result
          risks loss of significance in a component due to cancellation.

3.d
          Ramification: The components of a complex function that
          exhibits bounded relative error in each component have to have
          the correct sign.  In contrast, one of the components of a
          complex function that exhibits bounded box error may have the
          wrong sign, since the dimensions of the box containing the
          result are proportional to the modulus of the mathematical
          result and not to either component of the mathematical result
          individually.  Thus, for example, the box containing the
          computed result of a complex function whose mathematical
          result has a large modulus but lies very close to the
          imaginary axis might well straddle that axis, allowing the
          real component of the computed result to have the wrong sign.
          In this case, the distance between the computed result and the
          mathematical result is, nevertheless, a small fraction of the
          modulus of the mathematical result.

4
   * if <CT>.Real'Machine_Overflows is True, the function either
     delivers a value that belongs to the result interval (or a value
     both of whose components belong to their respective result
     intervals) or raises Constraint_Error, signaling overflow;

5
   * if <CT>.Real'Machine_Overflows is False, the result is
     implementation defined.

5.a
          Implementation defined: The result of a complex arithmetic
          operation or complex elementary function reference in overflow
          situations, when the Machine_Overflows attribute of the
          corresponding real type is False.

6/2
{<AI95-00434-01AI95-00434-01>} The error bounds for particular complex
functions are tabulated in table G-2.  In the table, the error bound is
given as the coefficient of <CT>.Real'Model_Epsilon.

The maximum relative error given above applies throughout the domain of
the Compose_From_Polar function when the Cycle parameter is specified.
When the Cycle parameter is omitted, the maximum relative error applies
only when the absolute value of the parameter Argument is less than or
equal to the angle threshold (see *note G.2.4::).  For the Exp function,
and for the forward hyperbolic (resp., trigonometric) functions, the
maximum relative error given above likewise applies only when the
absolute value of the imaginary (resp., real) component of the parameter
X (or the absolute value of the parameter itself, in the case of the Exp
function with a parameter of pure-imaginary type) is less than or equal
to the angle threshold.  For larger angles, the accuracy is
implementation defined.

8.a
          Implementation defined: The accuracy of certain complex
          arithmetic operations and certain complex elementary functions
          for parameters (or components thereof) beyond the angle
          threshold.

9
The prescribed results specified in *note G.1.2:: for certain functions
at particular parameter values take precedence over the error bounds;
effectively, they narrow to a single value the result interval allowed
by the error bounds for a component of the result.  Additional rules
with a similar effect are given below for certain inverse trigonometric
and inverse hyperbolic functions, at particular parameter values for
which a component of the mathematical result is transcendental.  In each
case, the accuracy rule, which takes precedence over the error bounds,
is that the result interval for the stated result component is the model
interval of <CT>.Real associated with the component's exact mathematical
value.  The cases in question are as follows:

10
   * When the parameter X has the value zero, the real (resp.,
     imaginary) component of the result of the Arccot (resp., Arccoth)
     function is in the model interval of <CT>.Real associated with the
     value PI/2.0.

11
   * When the parameter X has the value one, the real component of the
     result of the Arcsin function is in the model interval of <CT>.Real
     associated with the value PI/2.0.

12
   * When the parameter X has the value -1.0, the real component of the
     result of the Arcsin (resp., Arccos) function is in the model
     interval of <CT>.Real associated with the value -PI/2.0 (resp.,
     PI).

12.a
          Discussion: It is possible to give many other prescribed
          results in which a component of the parameter is restricted to
          a similar model interval when the parameter X is appropriately
          restricted to an easily testable portion of the domain.  We
          follow the proposed ISO/IEC standard for
          Generic_Complex_Elementary_Functions (for Ada 83) in not doing
          so, however.

13/2
{<AI95-00434-01AI95-00434-01>} The amount by which a component of the
result of an inverse trigonometric or inverse hyperbolic function is
allowed to spill over into a quadrant adjacent to the one corresponding
to the principal branch, as given in *note G.1.2::, is limited.  The
rule is that the result belongs to the smallest model interval of
<CT>.Real that contains both boundaries of the quadrant corresponding to
the principal branch.  This rule also takes precedence over the maximum
error bounds, effectively narrowing the result interval allowed by them.

14
Finally, the results allowed by the error bounds are narrowed by one
further rule: The absolute value of each component of the result of the
Exp function, for a pure-imaginary parameter, never exceeds one.

                        _Implementation Advice_

15
The version of the Compose_From_Polar function without a Cycle parameter
should not be implemented by calling the corresponding version with a
Cycle parameter of 2.0*Numerics.Pi, since this will not provide the
required accuracy in some portions of the domain.

15.a.1/2
          Implementation Advice: For complex arithmetic, the
          Compose_From_Polar function without a Cycle parameter should
          not be implemented by calling Compose_From_Polar with a Cycle
          parameter.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

15.a
          The semantics of Numerics.Generic_Complex_Types and
          Numerics.Generic_Complex_Elementary_Functions differs from
          Generic_Complex_Types and Generic_Complex_Elementary_Functions
          as defined in ISO/IEC CDs 13813 and 13814 (for Ada 83) in ways
          analogous to those identified for the elementary functions in
          *note G.2.4::.  In addition, we do not generally specify the
          signs of zero results (or result components), although those
          proposed standards do.

G.3 Vector and Matrix Manipulation
==================================

1/2
{<AI95-00296-01AI95-00296-01>} Types and operations for the manipulation
of real vectors and matrices are provided in Generic_Real_Arrays, which
is defined in *note G.3.1::.  Types and operations for the manipulation
of complex vectors and matrices are provided in Generic_Complex_Arrays,
which is defined in *note G.3.2::.  Both of these library units are
generic children of the predefined package Numerics (see *note A.5::).
Nongeneric equivalents of these packages for each of the predefined
floating point types are also provided as children of Numerics.

1.a/2
          Discussion: Vector and matrix manipulation is defined in the
          Numerics Annex, rather than in the core, because it is
          considered to be a specialized need of (some) numeric
          applications.

1.b/2
          These packages provide facilities that are similar to and
          replace those found in ISO/IEC 13813:1998 <Information
          technology -- Programming languages -- Generic packages of
          real and complex type declarations and basic operations for
          Ada (including vector and matrix types)>.  (The other
          facilities provided by that Standard were already provided in
          Ada 95.)  In addition to the main facilities of that Standard,
          these packages also include subprograms for the solution of
          linear equations, matrix inversion, determinants, and the
          determination of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of real
          symmetric matrices and Hermitian matrices.

31/2
{<AI95-00296-01AI95-00296-01>} The library package Numerics.Real_Arrays
is declared pure and defines the same types and subprograms as
Numerics.Generic_Real_Arrays, except that the predefined type Float is
systematically substituted for Real'Base throughout.  Nongeneric
equivalents for each of the other predefined floating point types are
defined similarly, with the names Numerics.Short_Real_Arrays,
Numerics.Long_Real_Arrays, etc.

31.a/2
          Reason: The nongeneric equivalents are provided to allow the
          programmer to construct simple mathematical applications
          without being required to understand and use generics, and to
          be consistent with other Numerics packages.

32/2
{<AI95-00296-01AI95-00296-01>} Two types are defined and exported by
Numerics.Generic_Real_Arrays.  The composite type Real_Vector is
provided to represent a vector with components of type Real; it is
defined as an unconstrained, one-dimensional array with an index of type
Integer.  The composite type Real_Matrix is provided to represent a
matrix with components of type Real; it is defined as an unconstrained,
two-dimensional array with indices of type Integer.

33/2
{<AI95-00296-01AI95-00296-01>} The effect of the various subprograms is
as described below.  In most cases the subprograms are described in
terms of corresponding scalar operations of the type Real; any exception
raised by those operations is propagated by the array operation.
Moreover, the accuracy of the result for each individual component is as
defined for the scalar operation unless stated otherwise.

34/2
{<AI95-00296-01AI95-00296-01>} In the case of those operations which are
defined to <involve an inner product>, Constraint_Error may be raised if
an intermediate result is outside the range of Real'Base even though the
mathematical final result would not be.

35/2
     function "+"   (Right : Real_Vector) return Real_Vector;
     function "-"   (Right : Real_Vector) return Real_Vector;
     function "abs" (Right : Real_Vector) return Real_Vector;

36/2
          {<AI95-00296-01AI95-00296-01>} Each operation returns the
          result of applying the corresponding operation of the type
          Real to each component of Right.  The index range of the
          result is Right'Range.

37/2
     function "+" (Left, Right : Real_Vector) return Real_Vector;
     function "-" (Left, Right : Real_Vector) return Real_Vector;

38/2
          {<AI95-00296-01AI95-00296-01>} Each operation returns the
          result of applying the corresponding operation of the type
          Real to each component of Left and the matching component of
          Right.  The index range of the result is Left'Range.
          Constraint_Error is raised if Left'Length is not equal to
          Right'Length.

39/2
     function "*" (Left, Right : Real_Vector) return Real'Base;

40/2
          {<AI95-00296-01AI95-00296-01>} This operation returns the
          inner product of Left and Right.  Constraint_Error is raised
          if Left'Length is not equal to Right'Length.  This operation
          involves an inner product.

41/2
     function "abs" (Right : Real_Vector) return Real'Base;

42/2
          {<AI95-00418-01AI95-00418-01>} This operation returns the
          L2-norm of Right (the square root of the inner product of the
          vector with itself).

42.a/2
          Discussion: Normalization of vectors is a frequent enough
          operation that it is useful to provide the norm as a basic
          operation.  Furthermore, implementing the norm is not entirely
          straightforward, because the inner product might overflow
          while the final norm does not.  An implementation cannot
          merely return Sqrt (X * X), it has to cope with a possible
          overflow of the inner product.

42.b/2
          Implementation Note: While the definition is given in terms of
          an inner product, the norm doesn't "involve an inner product"
          in the technical sense.  The reason is that it has accuracy
          requirements substantially different from those applicable to
          inner products; and that cancellations cannot occur, because
          all the terms are positive, so there is no possibility of
          intermediate overflow.

44/2
          {<AI95-00296-01AI95-00296-01>} This operation returns the
          result of multiplying each component of Right by the scalar
          Left using the "*" operation of the type Real.  The index

          index range of the result is Left'Range.

          components are set to 0.0 except for the Index component which
          is set to 1.0.  Constraint_Error is raised if Index < First,
          Index > First + Order - 1 or if First + Order - 1 >
          Integer'Last.

50/2
          {<AI95-00296-01AI95-00296-01>} Each operation returns the

          Left'Range(1) and Right'Range(2) respectively.

          outer product of a (column) vector Left by a (row) vector
          Right using the operation "*" of the type Real for computing
          the individual components.  The first and second index ranges
          of the result are Left'Range and Right'Range respectively.

59/2

60/2
          {<AI95-00296-01AI95-00296-01>} This operation provides the
          standard mathematical operation for multiplication of a (row)
          vector Left by a matrix Right.  The index range of the (row)
          vector result is Right'Range(2).  Constraint_Error is raised
          if Left'Length is not equal to Right'Length(1).  This

62/2
          {<AI95-00296-01AI95-00296-01>} This operation provides the

          result of applying the corresponding operation of the type

68/2
          {<AI95-00296-01AI95-00296-01>} This function returns a vector
          Y such that X is (nearly) equal to A * Y. This is the standard
          mathematical operation for solving a single set of linear
          equations.  The index range of the result is A'Range(2).
          Constraint_Error is raised if A'Length(1), A'Length(2), and
          X'Length are not equal.  Constraint_Error is raised if the
          matrix A is ill-conditioned.

68.a/2
          Discussion: The text says that Y is such that "X is (nearly)
          equal to A * Y" rather than "X is equal to A * Y" because
          rounding errors may mean that there is no value of Y such that
          X is exactly equal to A * Y. On the other hand it does not
          mean that any old rough value will do.  The algorithm given
          under Implementation Advice should be followed.

68.b/2
          The requirement to raise Constraint_Error if the matrix is
          ill-conditioned is really a reflection of what will happen if
          the matrix is ill-conditioned.  See Implementation Advice.  We
          do not make any attempt to define ill-conditioned formally.

68.c/2

          mathematical operation for solving several sets of linear
          equations.  The index ranges of the result are A'Range(2) and
          X'Range(2).  Constraint_Error is raised if A'Length(1),
          A'Length(2), and X'Length(1) are not equal.  Constraint_Error
          is raised if the matrix A is ill-conditioned.

          {<AI95-00296-01AI95-00296-01>} This function returns a matrix
          B such that A * B is (nearly) equal to the unit matrix.  The
          index ranges of the result are A'Range(2) and A'Range(1).
          Constraint_Error is raised if A'Length(1) is not equal to
          A'Length(2).  Constraint_Error is raised if the matrix A is
          ill-conditioned.

73/2
     function Determinant (A : Real_Matrix) return Real'Base;

74/2
          {<AI95-00296-01AI95-00296-01>} This function returns the
          determinant of the matrix A. Constraint_Error is raised if
          A'Length(1) is not equal to A'Length(2).

75/2
     function Eigenvalues(A : Real_Matrix) return Real_Vector;

76/2
          {<AI95-00296-01AI95-00296-01>} This function returns the
          eigenvalues of the symmetric matrix A as a vector sorted into
          order with the largest first.  Constraint_Error is raised if
          A'Length(1) is not equal to A'Length(2).  The index range of
          the result is A'Range(1).  Argument_Error is raised if the
          matrix A is not symmetric.

77/2
     procedure Eigensystem(A       : in  Real_Matrix;
                           Values  : out Real_Vector;
                           Vectors : out Real_Matrix);

78/3
          {<AI95-00296-01AI95-00296-01>} {<AI05-0047-1AI05-0047-1>} This
          procedure computes both the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of
          the symmetric matrix A. The out parameter Values is the same
          as that obtained by calling the function Eigenvalues.  The out
          parameter Vectors is a matrix whose columns are the
          eigenvectors of the matrix A. The order of the columns
          corresponds to the order of the eigenvalues.  The eigenvectors
          are normalized and mutually orthogonal (they are orthonormal),
          including when there are repeated eigenvalues.
          Constraint_Error is raised if A'Length(1) is not equal to
          A'Length(2), or if Values'Range is not equal to A'Range(1), or
          if the index ranges of the parameter Vectors are not equal to
          those of A. Argument_Error is raised if the matrix A is not
          symmetric.  Constraint_Error is also raised in
          implementation-defined circumstances if the algorithm used
          does not converge quickly enough.

78.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0047-1AI05-0047-1>} There is no
          requirement on the absolute direction of the returned
          eigenvectors.  Thus they might be multiplied by -1.  It is
          only the ratios of the components that matter.  This is
          standard practice.

79/2
     function Unit_Matrix (Order            : Positive;
                           First_1, First_2 : Integer := 1) return Real_Matrix;

80/2
          {<AI95-00296-01AI95-00296-01>} This function returns a square
          <unit matrix> with Order**2 components and lower bounds of
          First_1 and First_2 (for the first and second index ranges
          respectively).  All components are set to 0.0 except for the
          main diagonal, whose components are set to 1.0.
          Constraint_Error is raised if First_1 + Order - 1 >
          Integer'Last or First_2 + Order - 1 > Integer'Last.

                     _Implementation Requirements_

81/2
{<AI95-00296-01AI95-00296-01>} Accuracy requirements for the subprograms
Solve, Inverse, Determinant, Eigenvalues and Eigensystem are
implementation defined.

81.a/2
          Implementation defined: The accuracy requirements for the
          subprograms Solve, Inverse, Determinant, Eigenvalues and
          Eigensystem for type Real_Matrix.

82/2
For operations not involving an inner product, the accuracy requirements
are those of the corresponding operations of the type Real in both the
strict mode and the relaxed mode (see *note G.2::).

83/2
For operations involving an inner product, no requirements are specified
in the relaxed mode.  In the strict mode the modulus of the absolute
error of the inner product <X>*<Y> shall not exceed
<g>*abs(<X>)*abs(<Y>) where <g> is defined as

84/2
     <g> = <X>'Length * Real'Machine_Radix**(1 - Real'Model_Mantissa)

85/2
{<AI95-00418-01AI95-00418-01>} For the L2-norm, no accuracy requirements
are specified in the relaxed mode.  In the strict mode the relative
error on the norm shall not exceed <g> / 2.0 + 3.0 * Real'Model_Epsilon
where <g> is defined as above.

85.a/2
          Reason: This is simply the combination of the error on the
          inner product with the error on Sqrt.  A first order
          computation would lead to 2.0 * Real'Model_Epsilon above, but
          we are adding an extra Real'Model_Epsilon to account for
          higher order effects.

                     _Documentation Requirements_

86/2
{<AI95-00296-01AI95-00296-01>} Implementations shall document any
techniques used to reduce cancellation errors such as extended precision
arithmetic.

86.a/2
          Documentation Requirement: Any techniques used to reduce
          cancellation errors in Numerics.Generic_Real_Arrays shall be
          documented.

86.b/2
          Implementation Note: The above accuracy requirement is met by
          the canonical implementation of the inner product by
          multiplication and addition using the corresponding operations
          of type Real'Base and performing the cumulative addition using
          ascending indices.  Note however, that some hardware provides
          special operations for the computation of the inner product
          and although these may be fast they may not meet the accuracy
          requirement specified.  See Accuracy and Stability of
          Numerical Algorithms By N J Higham (ISBN 0-89871-355-2),
          Section 3.1.

86.c/3
          {<AI05-0047-1AI05-0047-1>} Note moreover that the
          componentwise accuracy requirements are not met by subcubic
          methods for matrix multiplication such as that devised by
          Strassen.  These methods, which are typically used for the
          fast multiplication of very large matrices (e.g.  order more
          than a few thousands), have normwise accuracy properties.  If
          it is desired to use such methods, then distinct subprograms
          should be provided (perhaps in a child package).  See Section
          22.2.2 in the above reference.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

87/2
{<AI95-00296-01AI95-00296-01>} The nongeneric equivalent packages may,
but need not, be actual instantiations of the generic package for the
appropriate predefined type.

                        _Implementation Advice_

88/3
{<AI95-00296-01AI95-00296-01>} {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>}
Implementations should implement the Solve and Inverse functions using
established techniques such as LU decomposition with row interchanges
followed by back and forward substitution.  Implementations are
recommended to refine the result by performing an iteration on the
residuals; if this is done, then it should be documented.

88.a/2
          Implementation Advice: Solve and Inverse for
          Numerics.Generic_Real_Arrays should be implemented using
          established techniques such as LU decomposition and the result
          should be refined by an iteration on the residuals.

89/2
It is not the intention that any special provision should be made to
determine whether a matrix is ill-conditioned or not.  The naturally
occurring overflow (including division by zero) which will result from
executing these functions with an ill-conditioned matrix and thus raise
Constraint_Error is sufficient.

89.a/2
          Discussion: There isn't any advice for the implementation to
          document with this paragraph.

90/2
The test that a matrix is symmetric should be performed by using the
equality operator to compare the relevant components.

90.a/2
          Implementation Advice: The equality operator should be used to
          test that a matrix in Numerics.Generic_Real_Arrays is
          symmetric.

91/3
{<AI05-0047-1AI05-0047-1>} An implementation should minimize the
circumstances under which the algorithm used for Eigenvalues and
Eigensystem fails to converge.

91.a.1/3
          Implementation Advice: An implementation should minimize the
          circumstances under which the algorithm used for
          Numerics.Generic_Real_Arrays.Eigenvalues and
          Numerics.Generic_Real_Arrays.Eigensystem fails to converge.

91.a/3
          Implementation Note: J. H. Wilkinson is the acknowledged
          expert in this area.  See for example Wilkinson, J. H., and
          Reinsch, C. , Linear Algebra , vol II of Handbook for
          Automatic Computation, Springer-Verlag, or Wilkinson, J. H.,

          {<AI95-00296-01AI95-00296-01>} The package
          Numerics.Generic_Real_Arrays and its nongeneric equivalents
          are new.

{<AI95-00296-01AI95-00296-01>} The library package
Numerics.Complex_Arrays is declared pure and defines the same types and
subprograms as Numerics.Generic_Complex_Arrays, except that the
predefined type Float is systematically substituted for Real'Base, and
the Real_Vector and Real_Matrix types exported by Numerics.Real_Arrays
are systematically substituted for Real_Vector and Real_Matrix, and the
Complex type exported by Numerics.Complex_Types is systematically
substituted for Complex, throughout.  Nongeneric equivalents for each of
the other predefined floating point types are defined similarly, with
the names Numerics.Short_Complex_Arrays, Numerics.Long_Complex_Arrays,
etc.

54/2
{<AI95-00296-01AI95-00296-01>} Two types are defined and exported by
Numerics.Generic_Complex_Arrays.  The composite type Complex_Vector is
provided to represent a vector with components of type Complex; it is
defined as an unconstrained one-dimensional array with an index of type
Integer.  The composite type Complex_Matrix is provided to represent a
matrix with components of type Complex; it is defined as an
unconstrained, two-dimensional array with indices of type Integer.

55/2
{<AI95-00296-01AI95-00296-01>} The effect of the various subprograms is
as described below.  In many cases they are described in terms of
corresponding scalar operations in Numerics.Generic_Complex_Types.  Any
exception raised by those operations is propagated by the array
subprogram.  Moreover, any constraints on the parameters and the
accuracy of the result for each individual component are as defined for
the scalar operation.

{<AI95-00296-01AI95-00296-01>} In the case of those operations which are
defined to <involve an inner product>, Constraint_Error may be raised if
an intermediate result has a component outside the range of Real'Base
even though the final mathematical result would not.

          involves implicit complex conjugation.  If the product of a
          vector with the conjugate of another (or the same) vector is
          required, then this has to be stated explicitly by writing for
          example X * Conjugate(Y). This mimics the usual mathematical
          notation.

76.a/2
          Implementation Note: While the definition is given in terms of
          an inner product, the norm doesn't "involve an inner product"
          in the technical sense.  The reason is that it has accuracy
          requirements substantially different from those applicable to
          inner products; and that cancellations cannot occur, because
          all the terms are positive, so there is no possibility of

          outer product of a (column) vector Left by a (row) vector
          Right using the appropriate operation "*" in

          components.  The first and second index ranges of the result

          standard mathematical operation for multiplication of a (row)
          vector Left by a matrix Right.  The index range of the (row)
          vector result is Right'Range(2).  Constraint_Error is raised

          standard mathematical operation for multiplication of a matrix
          Left by a (column) vector Right.  The index range of the
          (column) vector result is Left'Range(1).  Constraint_Error is
          raised if Left'Length(2) is not equal to Right'Length.  These

     function Solve (A : Complex_Matrix; X : Complex_Vector) return Complex_Vector;

136/2
          {<AI95-00296-01AI95-00296-01>} This function returns a vector
          Y such that X is (nearly) equal to A * Y. This is the standard
          mathematical operation for solving a single set of linear
          equations.  The index range of the result is A'Range(2).
          Constraint_Error is raised if A'Length(1), A'Length(2), and
          X'Length are not equal.  Constraint_Error is raised if the
          matrix A is ill-conditioned.

136.a/2
          Discussion: The text says that Y is such that "X is (nearly)
          equal to A * Y" rather than "X is equal to A * Y" because
          rounding errors may mean that there is no value of Y such that
          X is exactly equal to A * Y. On the other hand it does not
          mean that any old rough value will do.  The algorithm given
          under Implementation Advice should be followed.

136.b/2
          The requirement to raise Constraint_Error if the matrix is
          ill-conditioned is really a reflection of what will happen if
          the matrix is ill-conditioned.  See Implementation Advice.  We
          do not make any attempt to define ill-conditioned formally.

136.c/2
          These remarks apply to all versions of Solve and Inverse.

137/2
     function Solve (A, X : Complex_Matrix) return Complex_Matrix;

138/2
          {<AI95-00296-01AI95-00296-01>} This function returns a matrix
          Y such that X is (nearly) equal to A * Y. This is the standard
          mathematical operation for solving several sets of linear
          equations.  The index ranges of the result are A'Range(2) and
          X'Range(2).  Constraint_Error is raised if A'Length(1),
          A'Length(2), and X'Length(1) are not equal.  Constraint_Error
          is raised if the matrix A is ill-conditioned.

139/2
     function Inverse (A : Complex_Matrix) return Complex_Matrix;

140/2
          {<AI95-00296-01AI95-00296-01>} This function returns a matrix
          B such that A * B is (nearly) equal to the unit matrix.  The
          index ranges of the result are A'Range(2) and A'Range(1).
          Constraint_Error is raised if A'Length(1) is not equal to
          A'Length(2).  Constraint_Error is raised if the matrix A is
          ill-conditioned.

141/2
     function Determinant (A : Complex_Matrix) return Complex;

142/2
          {<AI95-00296-01AI95-00296-01>} This function returns the
          determinant of the matrix A. Constraint_Error is raised if
          A'Length(1) is not equal to A'Length(2).

143/2
     function Eigenvalues(A : Complex_Matrix) return Real_Vector;

144/2
          {<AI95-00296-01AI95-00296-01>} This function returns the
          eigenvalues of the Hermitian matrix A as a vector sorted into
          order with the largest first.  Constraint_Error is raised if
          A'Length(1) is not equal to A'Length(2).  The index range of
          the result is A'Range(1).  Argument_Error is raised if the
          matrix A is not Hermitian.

144.a/2
          Discussion: A Hermitian matrix is one whose transpose is equal
          to its complex conjugate.  The eigenvalues of a Hermitian
          matrix are always real.  We only support this case because
          algorithms for solving the general case are inherently
          unstable.

145/2
     procedure Eigensystem(A       : in  Complex_Matrix;
                           Values  :  out Real_Vector;
                           Vectors :  out Complex_Matrix);

146/3
          {<AI95-00296-01AI95-00296-01>} {<AI05-0047-1AI05-0047-1>} This
          procedure computes both the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of
          the Hermitian matrix A. The out parameter Values is the same
          as that obtained by calling the function Eigenvalues.  The out
          parameter Vectors is a matrix whose columns are the
          eigenvectors of the matrix A. The order of the columns
          corresponds to the order of the eigenvalues.  The eigenvectors
          are mutually orthonormal, including when there are repeated
          eigenvalues.  Constraint_Error is raised if A'Length(1) is not
          equal to A'Length(2), or if Values'Range is not equal to
          A'Range(1), or if the index ranges of the parameter Vectors
          are not equal to those of A. Argument_Error is raised if the
          matrix A is not Hermitian.  Constraint_Error is also raised in
          implementation-defined circumstances if the algorithm used
          does not converge quickly enough.

146.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0047-1AI05-0047-1>} There is no
          requirement on the absolute direction of the returned
          eigenvectors.  Thus they might be multiplied by any complex
          number whose modulus is 1.  It is only the ratios of the
          components that matter.  This is standard practice.

147/2
     function Unit_Matrix (Order            : Positive;
                           First_1, First_2 : Integer := 1)
                                              return Complex_Matrix;

148/2
          {<AI95-00296-01AI95-00296-01>} This function returns a square
          <unit matrix> with Order**2 components and lower bounds of
          First_1 and First_2 (for the first and second index ranges
          respectively).  All components are set to (0.0, 0.0) except
          for the main diagonal, whose components are set to (1.0, 0.0).
          Constraint_Error is raised if First_1 + Order - 1 >
          Integer'Last or First_2 + Order - 1 > Integer'Last.

                     _Implementation Requirements_

149/2
{<AI95-00296-01AI95-00296-01>} Accuracy requirements for the subprograms
Solve, Inverse, Determinant, Eigenvalues and Eigensystem are
implementation defined.

149.a/2
          Implementation defined: The accuracy requirements for the
          subprograms Solve, Inverse, Determinant, Eigenvalues and
          Eigensystem for type Complex_Matrix.

150/2
{<AI95-00296-01AI95-00296-01>} For operations not involving an inner
product, the accuracy requirements are those of the corresponding
operations of the type Real'Base and Complex in both the strict mode and
the relaxed mode (see *note G.2::).

151/2
{<AI95-00296-01AI95-00296-01>} For operations involving an inner
product, no requirements are specified in the relaxed mode.  In the
strict mode the modulus of the absolute error of the inner product
<X>*<Y> shall not exceed <g>*abs(<X>)*abs(<Y>) where <g> is defined as

152/2
     <g> = <X>'Length * Real'Machine_Radix**(1 - Real'Model_Mantissa)
         for mixed complex and real operands

153/2
     <g> = sqrt(2.0) * <X>'Length * Real'Machine_Radix**(1 - Real'Model_Mantissa)
         for two complex operands

154/2
{<AI95-00418-01AI95-00418-01>} For the L2-norm, no accuracy requirements
are specified in the relaxed mode.  In the strict mode the relative
error on the norm shall not exceed <g> / 2.0 + 3.0 * Real'Model_Epsilon
where <g> has the definition appropriate for two complex operands.

                     _Documentation Requirements_

155/2
{<AI95-00296-01AI95-00296-01>} Implementations shall document any
techniques used to reduce cancellation errors such as extended precision
arithmetic.

155.a/2
          Documentation Requirement: Any techniques used to reduce
          cancellation errors in Numerics.Generic_Complex_Arrays shall
          be documented.

155.b/2
          Implementation Note: The above accuracy requirement is met by
          the canonical implementation of the inner product by
          multiplication and addition using the corresponding operations
          of type Complex and performing the cumulative addition using
          ascending indices.  Note however, that some hardware provides
          special operations for the computation of the inner product
          and although these may be fast they may not meet the accuracy
          requirement specified.  See Accuracy and Stability of
          Numerical Algorithms by N J Higham (ISBN 0-89871-355-2),
          Sections 3.1 and 3.6.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

156/2
{<AI95-00296-01AI95-00296-01>} The nongeneric equivalent packages may,
but need not, be actual instantiations of the generic package for the
appropriate predefined type.

157/2
{<AI95-00296-01AI95-00296-01>} Although many operations are defined in
terms of operations from numerics.generic_complex_types, they need not
be implemented by calling those operations provided that the effect is
the same.

                        _Implementation Advice_

158/3
{<AI95-00296-01AI95-00296-01>} {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>}
Implementations should implement the Solve and Inverse functions using
established techniques.  Implementations are recommended to refine the
result by performing an iteration on the residuals; if this is done,
then it should be documented.

158.a/2
          Implementation Advice: Solve and Inverse for
          Numerics.Generic_Complex_Arrays should be implemented using
          established techniques and the result should be refined by an
          iteration on the residuals.

159/2
{<AI95-00296-01AI95-00296-01>} It is not the intention that any special
provision should be made to determine whether a matrix is
ill-conditioned or not.  The naturally occurring overflow (including
division by zero) which will result from executing these functions with
an ill-conditioned matrix and thus raise Constraint_Error is sufficient.

159.a/2
          Discussion: There isn't any advice for the implementation to
          document with this paragraph.

160/2
{<AI95-00296-01AI95-00296-01>} The test that a matrix is Hermitian
should use the equality operator to compare the real components and
negation followed by equality to compare the imaginary components (see
*note G.2.1::).

160.a/2
          Implementation Advice: The equality and negation operators
          should be used to test that a matrix is Hermitian.

160.1/3
An implementation should minimize the circumstances under which the
algorithm used for Eigenvalues and Eigensystem fails to converge.

160.a.1/3
          Implementation Advice: An implementation should minimize the
          circumstances under which the algorithm used for
          Numerics.Generic_Complex_Arrays.Eigenvalues and
          Numerics.Generic_Complex_Arrays.Eigensystem fails to converge.

160.b/3
          Implementation Note: J. H. Wilkinson is the acknowledged
          expert in this area.  See for example Wilkinson, J. H., and
          Reinsch, C. , Linear Algebra , vol II of Handbook for
          Automatic Computation, Springer-Verlag, or Wilkinson, J. H.,
          The Algebraic Eigenvalue Problem, Oxford University Press.

161/2
{<AI95-00296-01AI95-00296-01>} Implementations should not perform
operations on mixed complex and real operands by first converting the
real operand to complex.  See *note G.1.1::.

161.a/2
          Implementation Advice: Mixed real and complex operations
          should not be performed by converting the real operand to
          complex.

Annex H High Integrity Systems
******************************

1/2
{<AI95-00347-01AI95-00347-01>} This Annex addresses requirements for
high integrity systems (including safety-critical systems and
security-critical systems).  It provides facilities and specifies
documentation requirements that relate to several needs:

2
   * Understanding program execution;

3
   * Reviewing object code;

4
   * Restricting language constructs whose usage might complicate the
     demonstration of program correctness

4.1
Execution understandability is supported by pragma Normalize_Scalars,
and also by requirements for the implementation to document the effect
of a program in the presence of a bounded error or where the language
rules leave the effect unspecified.  

5
The pragmas Reviewable and Restrictions relate to the other requirements
addressed by this Annex.

     NOTES

6
     1  The Valid attribute (see *note 13.9.2::) is also useful in
     addressing these needs, to avoid problems that could otherwise
     arise from scalars that have values outside their declared range
     constraints.

6.a
          Discussion: The Annex tries to provide high assurance rather
          than language features.  However, it is not possible, in
          general, to test for high assurance.  For any specific
          language feature, it is possible to demonstrate its presence
          by a functional test, as in the ACVC. One can also check for
          the presence of some documentation requirements, but it is not
          easy to determine objectively that the documentation is
          "adequate".

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

6.b
          This Annex is new to Ada 95.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

6.c/2
          {<AI95-00347-01AI95-00347-01>} The title of this annex was
          changed to better reflect its purpose and scope.  High
          integrity systems has become the standard way of identifying
          systems that have high reliability requirements; it subsumes
          terms such as safety and security.  Moreover, the annex does
          not include any security specific features and as such the
          previous title is somewhat misleading.

H.1 Pragma Normalize_Scalars
============================

1
This pragma ensures that an otherwise uninitialized scalar object is set
to a predictable value, but out of range if possible.

1.a
          Discussion: The goal of the pragma is to reduce the impact of
          a bounded error that results from a reference to an
          uninitialized scalar object, by having such a reference
          violate a range check and thus raise Constraint_Error.

                               _Syntax_

2
     The form of a pragma Normalize_Scalars is as follows:

3
       pragma Normalize_Scalars;

                       _Post-Compilation Rules_

4
Pragma Normalize_Scalars is a configuration pragma.  It applies to all
compilation_units included in a partition.

                     _Documentation Requirements_

5/2
{<AI95-00434-01AI95-00434-01>} If a pragma Normalize_Scalars applies,
the implementation shall document the implicit initial values for scalar
subtypes, and shall identify each case in which such a value is used and
is not an invalid representation.

5.a/2
          Documentation Requirement: If a pragma Normalize_Scalars
          applies, the implicit initial values of scalar subtypes shall
          be documented.  Such a value should be an invalid
          representation when possible; any cases when is it not shall
          be documented.

5.b
          To be honest: It's slightly inaccurate to say that the value
          is a representation, but the point should be clear anyway.

5.c
          Discussion: By providing a type with a size specification so
          that spare bits are present, it is possible to force an
          implementation of Normalize_Scalars to use an out of range
          value.  This can be tested for by ensuring that
          Constraint_Error is raised.  Similarly, for an unconstrained
          integer type, in which no spare bit is surely present, one can
          check that the initialization takes place to the value
          specified in the documentation of the implementation.  For a
          floating point type, spare bits might not be available, but a
          range constraint can provide the ability to use an out of
          range value.

5.d
          If it is difficult to document the general rule for the
          implicit initial value, the implementation might choose
          instead to record the value on the object code listing or
          similar output produced during compilation.

                        _Implementation Advice_

6/2
{<AI95-00434-01AI95-00434-01>} Whenever possible, the implicit initial
values for a scalar subtype should be an invalid representation (see
*note 13.9.1::).

6.a
          Discussion: When an out of range value is used for the
          initialization, it is likely that constraint checks will
          detect it.  In addition, it can be detected by the Valid
          attribute.

6.b/2
          This rule is included in the documentation requirements, and
          thus does not need a separate summary item.

     NOTES

7
     2  The initialization requirement applies to uninitialized scalar
     objects that are subcomponents of composite objects, to allocated
     objects, and to stand-alone objects.  It also applies to scalar out
     parameters.  Scalar subcomponents of composite out parameters are
     initialized to the corresponding part of the actual, by virtue of
     *note 6.4.1::.

8
     3  The initialization requirement does not apply to a scalar for
     which pragma Import has been specified, since initialization of an
     imported object is performed solely by the foreign language
     environment (see *note B.1::).

9
     4  The use of pragma Normalize_Scalars in conjunction with Pragma
     Restrictions(No_Exceptions) may result in erroneous execution (see
     *note H.4::).

9.a
          Discussion: Since the effect of an access to an out of range
          value will often be to raise Constraint_Error, it is clear
          that suppressing the exception mechanism could result in
          erroneous execution.  In particular, the assignment to an
          array, with the array index out of range, will result in a
          write to an arbitrary store location, having unpredictable
          effects.

H.2 Documentation of Implementation Decisions
=============================================

                     _Documentation Requirements_

1
The implementation shall document the range of effects for each
situation that the language rules identify as either a bounded error or
as having an unspecified effect.  If the implementation can constrain
the effects of erroneous execution for a given construct, then it shall
document such constraints.  [The documentation might be provided either
independently of any compilation unit or partition, or as part of an
annotated listing for a given unit or partition.  See also *note
1.1.3::, and *note 1.1.2::.]

1.a/2
          <This paragraph was deleted.>

1.b/2
          Documentation Requirement: The range of effects for each
          bounded error and each unspecified effect.  If the effects of
          a given erroneous construct are constrained, the constraints
          shall be documented.

     NOTES

2
     5  Among the situations to be documented are the conventions chosen
     for parameter passing, the methods used for the management of
     run-time storage, and the method used to evaluate numeric
     expressions if this involves extended range or extra precision.

2.a
          Discussion: Look up "unspecified" and "erroneous execution" in
          the index for a list of the cases.

2.b
          The management of run-time storage is particularly important.
          For safety applications, it is often necessary to show that a
          program cannot raise Storage_Error, and for security
          applications that information cannot leak via the run-time
          system.  Users are likely to prefer a simple storage model
          that can be easily validated.

2.c
          The documentation could helpfully take into account that users
          may well adopt a subset to avoid some forms of erroneous
          execution, for instance, not using the abort statement, so
          that the effects of a partly completed assignment_statement do
          not have to be considered in the validation of a program (see
          *note 9.8::).  For this reason documentation linked to an
          actual compilation may be most useful.  Similarly, an
          implementation may be able to take into account use of the
          Restrictions pragma.

H.3 Reviewable Object Code
==========================

1
Object code review and validation are supported by pragmas Reviewable
and Inspection_Point.

* Menu:

* H.3.1 ::    Pragma Reviewable
* H.3.2 ::    Pragma Inspection_Point


File: aarm2012.info,  Node: H.3.1,  Next: H.3.2,  Up: H.3

H.3.1 Pragma Reviewable
-----------------------

1
This pragma directs the implementation to provide information to
facilitate analysis and review of a program's object code, in particular
to allow determination of execution time and storage usage and to
identify the correspondence between the source and object programs.

1.a
          Discussion: Since the purpose of this pragma is to provide
          information to the user, it is hard to objectively test for
          conformity.  In practice, users want the information in an
          easily understood and convenient form, but neither of these
          properties can be easily measured.

                               _Syntax_

2
     The form of a pragma Reviewable is as follows:

3
       pragma Reviewable;

                       _Post-Compilation Rules_

4
Pragma Reviewable is a configuration pragma.  It applies to all
compilation_units included in a partition.

                     _Implementation Requirements_

5
The implementation shall provide the following information for any
compilation unit to which such a pragma applies:

5.a
          Discussion: The list of requirements can be checked for, even
          if issues like intelligibility are not addressed.

6
   * Where compiler-generated run-time checks remain;

6.a
          Discussion: A constraint check which is implemented via a
          check on the upper and lower bound should clearly be
          indicated.  If a check is implicit in the form of machine
          instructions used (such an overflow checking), this should
          also be covered by the documentation.  It is particularly
          important to cover those checks which are not obvious from the
          source code, such as that for stack overflow.

7
   * An identification of any construct with a language-defined check
     that is recognized prior to run time as certain to fail if executed
     (even if the generation of run-time checks has been suppressed);

7.a
          Discussion: In this case, if the compiler determines that a
          check must fail, the user should be informed of this.
          However, since it is not in general possible to know what the
          compiler will detect, it is not easy to test for this.  In
          practice, it is thought that compilers claiming conformity to
          this Annex will perform significant optimizations and
          therefore <will> detect such situations.  Of course, such
          events could well indicate a programmer error.

8/2
   * {<AI95-00209-01AI95-00209-01>} For each read of a scalar object, an
     identification of the read as either "known to be initialized," or
     "possibly uninitialized," independent of whether pragma
     Normalize_Scalars applies;

8.a
          Discussion: This issue again raises the question as to what
          the compiler has determined.  A lazy implementation could
          clearly mark all scalars as "possibly uninitialized", but this
          would be very unhelpful to the user.  It should be possible to
          analyze a range of scalar uses and note the percentage in each
          class.  Note that an access marked "known to be initialized"
          does not imply that the value is in range, since the
          initialization could be from an (erroneous) call of unchecked
          conversion, or by means external to the Ada program.

9
   * Where run-time support routines are implicitly invoked;

9.a
          Discussion: Validators will need to know the calls invoked in
          order to check for the correct functionality.  For instance,
          for some safety applications, it may be necessary to ensure
          that certain sections of code can execute in a particular
          time.

10
   * An object code listing, including:

11
             * Machine instructions, with relative offsets;

11.a
          Discussion: The machine instructions should be in a format
          that is easily understood, such as the symbolic format of the
          assembler.  The relative offsets are needed in numeric format,
          to check any alignment restrictions that the architecture
          might impose.

12
             * Where each data object is stored during its lifetime;

12.a
          Discussion: This requirement implies that if the optimizer
          assigns a variable to a register, this needs to be evident.

13
             * Correspondence with the source program, including an
               identification of the code produced per declaration and
               per statement.

13.a
          Discussion: This correspondence will be quite complex when
          extensive optimization is performed.  In particular, address
          calculation to access some data structures could be moved from
          the actual access.  However, when all the machine code arising
          from a statement or declaration is in one basic block, this
          must be indicated by the implementation.

14
   * An identification of each construct for which the implementation
     detects the possibility of erroneous execution;

14.a
          Discussion: This requirement is quite vague.  In general, it
          is hard for compilers to detect erroneous execution and
          therefore the requirement will be rarely invoked.  However, if
          the pragma Suppress is used and the compiler can show that a
          predefined exception will be raised, then such an
          identification would be useful.

15
   * For each subprogram, block, task, or other construct implemented by
     reserving and subsequently freeing an area on a run-time stack, an
     identification of the length of the fixed-size portion of the area
     and an indication of whether the non-fixed size portion is reserved
     on the stack or in a dynamically-managed storage region.

15.a
          Discussion: This requirement is vital for those requiring to
          show that the storage available to a program is sufficient.
          This is crucial in those cases in which the internal checks
          for stack overflow are suppressed (perhaps by pragma
          Restrictions(No_Exceptions)).

16
The implementation shall provide the following information for any
partition to which the pragma applies:

17
   * An object code listing of the entire partition, including
     initialization and finalization code as well as run-time system
     components, and with an identification of those instructions and
     data that will be relocated at load time;

17.a
          Discussion: The object code listing should enable a validator
          to estimate upper bounds for the time taken by critical parts
          of a program.  Similarly, by an analysis of the entire
          partition, it should be possible to ensure that the storage
          requirements are suitably bounded, assuming that the partition
          was written in an appropriate manner.

18
   * A description of the run-time model relevant to the partition.

18.a
          Discussion: For example, a description of the storage model is
          vital, since the Ada language does not explicitly define such
          a model.

18.1
The implementation shall provide control- and data-flow information,
both within each compilation unit and across the compilation units of
the partition.

18.b
          Discussion: This requirement is quite vague, since it is
          unclear what control and data flow information the compiler
          has produced.  It is really a plea not to throw away
          information that could be useful to the validator.  Note that
          the data flow information is relevant to the detection of
          "possibly uninitialized" objects referred to above.

                        _Implementation Advice_

19
The implementation should provide the above information in both a
human-readable and machine-readable form, and should document the latter
so as to ease further processing by automated tools.

19.a/2
          Implementation Advice: The information produced by pragma
          Reviewable should be provided in both a human-readable and
          machine-readable form, and the latter form should be
          documented.

20
Object code listings should be provided both in a symbolic format and
also in an appropriate numeric format (such as hexadecimal or octal).

20.a/2
          Implementation Advice: Object code listings should be provided
          both in a symbolic format and in a numeric format.

20.b
          Reason: This is to enable other tools to perform any analysis
          that the user needed to aid validation.  The format should be
          in some agreed form.

     NOTES

21
     6  The order of elaboration of library units will be documented
     even in the absence of pragma Reviewable (see *note 10.2::).

21.a
          Discussion: There might be some interactions between pragma
          Reviewable and compiler optimizations.  For example, an
          implementation may disable some optimizations when pragma
          Reviewable is in force if it would be overly complicated to
          provide the detailed information to allow review of the
          optimized object code.  See also pragma Optimize (*note
          2.8::).

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

21.b/2
          {<AI95-00209-01AI95-00209-01>} The wording was clarified that
          pragma Reviewable applies to each read of an object, as it
          makes no sense to talk about the state of an object that will
          immediately be overwritten.

H.3.2 Pragma Inspection_Point
-----------------------------

1
An occurrence of a pragma Inspection_Point identifies a set of objects
each of whose values is to be available at the point(s) during program
execution corresponding to the position of the pragma in the compilation
unit.  The purpose of such a pragma is to facilitate code validation.

1.a
          Discussion: Inspection points are a high level equivalent of
          break points used by debuggers.

                               _Syntax_

2
     The form of a pragma Inspection_Point is as follows:

3
       pragma Inspection_Point[(<object_>name {, <object_>name})];

                           _Legality Rules_

4
A pragma Inspection_Point is allowed wherever a declarative_item or
statement is allowed.  Each <object_>name shall statically denote the
declaration of an object.

4.a
          Discussion: The static denotation is required, since no
          dynamic evaluation of a name is involved in this pragma.

                          _Static Semantics_

5/2
{<8652/00938652/0093>} {<AI95-00207-01AI95-00207-01>}
{<AI95-00434-01AI95-00434-01>} An <inspection point> is a point in the
object code corresponding to the occurrence of a pragma Inspection_Point
in the compilation unit.  An object is <inspectable> at an inspection
point if the corresponding pragma Inspection_Point either has an
argument denoting that object, or has no arguments and the declaration
of the object is visible at the inspection point.

5.a
          Ramification: If a pragma Inspection_Point is in an in-lined
          subprogram, there might be numerous inspection points in the
          object code corresponding to the single occurrence of the
          pragma in the source; similar considerations apply if such a
          pragma is in a generic, or in a loop that has been "unrolled"
          by an optimizer.

5.a.1/1
          {<8652/00938652/0093>} {<AI95-00207-01AI95-00207-01>} The
          short form of the pragma is a convenient shorthand for listing
          all objects which could be explicitly made inspectable by the
          long form of the pragma; thus only visible objects are made
          inspectable by it.  Objects that are not visible at the point
          of the pragma are not made inspectable by the short form
          pragma.  This is necessary so that implementations need not
          keep information about (or prevent optimizations on) a unit
          simply because some other unit <might> contain a short form
          Inspection_Point pragma.

5.b/1
          Discussion: {<8652/00938652/0093>}
          {<AI95-00207-01AI95-00207-01>} If the short form of the pragma
          is used, then all visible objects are inspectable.  This
          implies that global objects from other compilation units are
          inspectable.  A good interactive debugging system could
          provide information similar to a post-mortem dump at such
          inspection points.  The annex does not require that any
          inspection facility is provided, merely that the information
          is available to understand the state of the machine at those
          points.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

6
Execution of a pragma Inspection_Point has no effect.

6.a/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} Although an
          inspection point has no (semantic) effect, the removal or
          adding of a new point could change the machine code generated
          by the compiler.

                     _Implementation Requirements_

7
Reaching an inspection point is an external interaction with respect to
the values of the inspectable objects at that point (see *note 1.1.3::).

7.a
          Ramification: The compiler is inhibited from moving an
          assignment to an inspectable variable past an inspection point
          for that variable.  On the other hand, the evaluation of an
          expression that might raise an exception may be moved past an
          inspection point (see *note 11.6::).

                     _Documentation Requirements_

8
For each inspection point, the implementation shall identify a mapping
between each inspectable object and the machine resources (such as
memory locations or registers) from which the object's value can be
obtained.

8.a/2
          <This paragraph was deleted.>

8.b/2
          Documentation Requirement: For each inspection point, a
          mapping between each inspectable object and the machine
          resources where the object's value can be obtained shall be
          provided.

     NOTES

9/2
     7  {<AI95-00209-01AI95-00209-01>} The implementation is not allowed
     to perform "dead store elimination" on the last assignment to a
     variable prior to a point where the variable is inspectable.  Thus
     an inspection point has the effect of an implicit read of each of
     its inspectable objects.

10
     8  Inspection points are useful in maintaining a correspondence
     between the state of the program in source code terms, and the
     machine state during the program's execution.  Assertions about the
     values of program objects can be tested in machine terms at
     inspection points.  Object code between inspection points can be
     processed by automated tools to verify programs mechanically.

10.a
          Discussion: Although it is not a requirement of the annex, it
          would be useful if the state of the stack and heap could be
          interrogated.  This would allow users to check that a program
          did not have a 'storage leak'.

11
     9  The identification of the mapping from source program objects to
     machine resources is allowed to be in the form of an annotated
     object listing, in human-readable or tool-processable form.

11.a
          Discussion: In principle, it is easy to check an
          implementation for this pragma, since one merely needs to
          check the content of objects against those values known from
          the source listing.  In practice, one needs a tool similar to
          an interactive debugger to perform the check.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

11.b/2
          {<8652/00938652/0093>} {<AI95-00207-01AI95-00207-01>}
          Corrigendum: Corrected the definition of the Inspection_Point
          pragma to apply to only variables visible at the point of the
          pragma.  Otherwise, the compiler would have to assume that
          some other code somewhere could have a pragma
          Inspection_Point, preventing many optimizations (such as
          unused object elimination).

H.4 High Integrity Restrictions
===============================

1/3
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} This subclause defines restrictions that can
be used with pragma Restrictions (see *note 13.12::); these facilitate
the demonstration of program correctness by allowing tailored versions
of the run-time system.

1.a/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} Note that the
          restrictions are absolute.  If a partition has 100 library
          units and just one needs Unchecked_Conversion, then the pragma
          cannot be used to ensure the other 99 units do not use
          Unchecked_Conversion.  Note also that these are restrictions
          on all Ada code within a partition, and therefore it might not
          be evident from the specification of a package whether a
          restriction can be imposed.

               There are no occurrences of an allocator.

8/1
{<8652/00428652/0042>} {<AI95-00130AI95-00130>} No_Local_Allocators
               Allocators are prohibited in subprograms, generic
               subprograms, tasks, and entry bodies.

8.a
          Ramification: Thus allocators are permitted only in
          expressions whose evaluation can only be performed before the
          main subprogram is invoked.

10
Immediate_Reclamation
               Except for storage occupied by objects created by
               allocators and not deallocated via unchecked
               deallocation, any storage reserved at run time for an
               object is immediately reclaimed when the object no longer
               exists.  

10.a
          Discussion: Immediate reclamation would apply to storage
          created by the compiler, such as for a return value from a
          function whose size is not known at the call site.

11
Exception-related restriction:

12
No_Exceptions
               Raise_statements and exception_handlers are not allowed.
               No language-defined run-time checks are generated;
               however, a run-time check performed automatically by the
               hardware is permitted.

12.a
          Discussion: This restriction mirrors a method of working that
          is quite common in the safety area.  The programmer is
          required to show that exceptions cannot be raised.  Then a
          simplified run-time system is used without exception handling.
          However, some hardware checks may still be enforced.  If the
          software check would have failed, or if the hardware check
          actually fails, then the execution of the program is
          unpredictable.  There are obvious dangers in this approach,
          but it is similar to programming at the assembler level.

13
Other restrictions:

14
No_Floating_Point
               Uses of predefined floating point types and operations,
               and declarations of new floating point types, are not
               allowed.

14.a/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} The intention is to
          avoid the use of floating point hardware at run time, but this
          is expressed in language terms.  It is conceivable that
          floating point is used implicitly in some contexts, say fixed
          point type conversions of high accuracy.  However, the
          Implementation Requirements below make it clear that the
          restriction would apply to the "run-time system" and hence not
          be allowed.  This restriction could be used to inform a
          compiler that a variant of the architecture is being used
          which does not have floating point instructions.

15
No_Fixed_Point
               Uses of predefined fixed point types and operations, and
               declarations of new fixed point types, are not allowed.

15.a
          Discussion: This restriction would have the side effect of
          prohibiting the delay_relative_statement.  As with the
          No_Floating_Point restriction, this might be used to avoid any
          question of rounding errors.  Unless an Ada run-time is
          written in Ada, it seems hard to rule out implicit use of
          fixed point, since at the machine level, fixed point is
          virtually the same as integer arithmetic.

               <This paragraph was
               deleted.>{<AI95-00394-01AI95-00394-01>}

17
No_Access_Subprograms
               The declaration of access-to-subprogram types is not
               allowed.  

17.a.1/2
          Discussion: Most critical applications would require some
          restrictions or additional validation checks on uses of
          access-to-subprogram types.  If the application does not
          require the functionality, then this restriction provides a
          means of ensuring the design requirement has been satisfied.
          The same applies to several of the following restrictions, and
          to restriction No_Dependence => Ada.Unchecked_Conversion.

18
No_Unchecked_Access
               The Unchecked_Access attribute is not allowed.

19
No_Dispatch
               Occurrences of T'Class are not allowed, for any (tagged)
               subtype T.

20/2
{<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} No_IO
               Semantic dependence on any of the library units
               Sequential_IO, Direct_IO, Text_IO, Wide_Text_IO,
               Wide_Wide_Text_IO, or Stream_IO is not allowed.

20.a
          Discussion: Excluding the input-output facilities of an
          implementation may be needed in those environments which
          cannot support the supplied functionality.  A program in such
          an environment is likely to require some low level facilities
          or a call on a non-Ada feature.

21
No_Delay
               Delay_Statements and semantic dependence on package
               Calendar are not allowed.

21.a
          Ramification: This implies that delay_alternatives in a
          select_statement are prohibited.

21.b
          The purpose of this restriction is to avoid the need for
          timing facilities within the run-time system.

22
No_Recursion
               As part of the execution of a subprogram, the same
               subprogram is not invoked.

23
No_Reentrancy
               During the execution of a subprogram by a task, no other
               task invokes the same subprogram.

                     _Implementation Requirements_

23.1/2
{<AI95-00394-01AI95-00394-01>} An implementation of this Annex shall
support:

23.2/2
   * the restrictions defined in this subclause; and

23.3/3
   * {<AI05-0189-1AI05-0189-1>} the following restrictions defined in
     *note D.7::: No_Task_Hierarchy, No_Abort_Statement,
     No_Implicit_Heap_Allocation,
     No_Standard_Allocators_After_Elaboration; and

23.4/2
   * {<AI95-00347-01AI95-00347-01>} the pragma Profile(Ravenscar); and

23.a/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00347-01AI95-00347-01>} The reference to
          pragma Profile(Ravenscar) is intended to show that properly
          restricted tasking is appropriate for use in high integrity
          systems.  The Ada 95 Annex seemed to suggest that tasking was
          inappropriate for such systems.

23.5/2
   * the following uses of <restriction_parameter_>identifiers defined
     in *note D.7::[, which are checked prior to program execution]:

23.6/2
             * Max_Task_Entries => 0,

23.7/2
             * Max_Asynchronous_Select_Nesting => 0, and

23.8/2
             * Max_Tasks => 0.

24/3
{<AI05-0263-1AI05-0263-1>} {<AI05-0272-1AI05-0272-1>} If an
implementation supports pragma Restrictions for a particular argument,
then except for the restrictions No_Unchecked_Deallocation,
No_Unchecked_Conversion, No_Access_Subprograms, No_Unchecked_Access,
No_Specification_of_Aspect, No_Use_of_Attribute, No_Use_of_Pragma, and
the equivalent use of No_Dependence, the associated restriction applies
to the run-time system.

24.a
          Reason: Permission is granted for the run-time system to use
          the specified otherwise-restricted features, since the use of
          these features may simplify the run-time system by allowing
          more of it to be written in Ada.

24.b
          Discussion: The restrictions that are applied to the partition
          are also applied to the run-time system.  For example, if
          No_Floating_Point is specified, then an implementation that
          uses floating point for implementing the delay statement (say)
          would require that No_Floating_Point is only used in
          conjunction with No_Delay.  It is clearly important that
          restrictions are effective so that Max_Tasks=0 does imply that
          tasking is not used, even implicitly (for input-output, say).

24.c
          An implementation of tasking could be produced based upon a
          run-time system written in Ada in which the rendezvous was
          controlled by protected types.  In this case,
          No_Protected_Types could only be used in conjunction with
          Max_Task_Entries=0.  Other implementation dependencies could
          be envisaged.

24.d
          If the run-time system is not written in Ada, then the wording
          needs to be applied in an appropriate fashion.

24.e/3
          {<AI05-0263-1AI05-0263-1>} "the equivalent use of
          No_Dependence" refers to No_Dependence =>
          Ada.Unchecked_Conversion and the like, not all uses of
          No_Dependence.

                     _Documentation Requirements_

25
If a pragma Restrictions(No_Exceptions) is specified, the implementation
shall document the effects of all constructs where language-defined
checks are still performed automatically (for example, an overflow check
performed by the processor).

25.a/2
          <This paragraph was deleted.>

25.b/2
          Documentation Requirement: If a pragma
          Restrictions(No_Exceptions) is specified, the effects of all
          constructs where language-defined checks are still performed.

25.c/2
          Discussion: {<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>} The documentation
          requirements here are quite difficult to satisfy.  One method
          is to review the object code generated and determine the
          checks that are still present, either explicitly, or
          implicitly within the architecture.  As another example from
          that of overflow, consider the question of dereferencing a
          null pointer.  This could be undertaken by a memory access
          trap when checks are performed.  When checks are suppressed
          via the argument No_Exceptions, it would not be necessary to
          have the memory access trap mechanism enabled.

                         _Erroneous Execution_

26
Program execution is erroneous if pragma Restrictions(No_Exceptions) has
been specified and the conditions arise under which a generated
language-defined run-time check would fail.

26.a
          Discussion: The situation here is very similar to the
          application of pragma Suppress.  Since users are removing some
          of the protection the language provides, they had better be
          careful!

27
Program execution is erroneous if pragma Restrictions(No_Recursion) has
been specified and a subprogram is invoked as part of its own execution,
or if pragma Restrictions(No_Reentrancy) has been specified and during
the execution of a subprogram by a task, another task invokes the same
subprogram.

27.a/3
          Discussion: {<AI05-0005-1AI05-0005-1>} In practice, many
          implementations might not exploit the absence of recursion or
          need for reentrancy, in which case the program execution would
          be unaffected by the use of recursion or reentrancy, even
          though the program is still formally erroneous.

27.b/2

     NOTES

28/2
     10  {<AI95-00394-01AI95-00394-01>} Uses of
     <restriction_parameter_>identifier No_Dependence defined in *note
     13.12.1::: No_Dependence => Ada.Unchecked_Deallocation and
     No_Dependence => Ada.Unchecked_Conversion may be appropriate for
     high-integrity systems.  Other uses of No_Dependence can also be
     appropriate for high-integrity systems.

28.a/2
          Discussion: The specific mention of these two uses is meant to
          replace the identifiers now banished to *note J.13::, "*note
          J.13:: Dependence Restriction Identifiers".

28.b/2
          Restriction No_Dependence => Ada.Unchecked_Deallocation would
          be useful in those contexts in which heap storage is needed on
          program start-up, but need not be increased subsequently.  The
          danger of a dangling pointer can therefore be avoided.

          instantiations.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

28.d/2
          {<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} Wide_Wide_Text_IO (which is
          new) is added to the No_IO restriction.

28.e/3
          {<AI95-00347-01AI95-00347-01>} {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} The
          title of this subclause was changed to match the change to the
          Annex title.  Pragma Profile(Ravenscar) is part of this annex.

28.f/2
          {<AI95-00394-01AI95-00394-01>} Restriction No_Dependence is
          used instead of special <restriction_>identifiers.  The old
          names are banished to Obsolescent Features (see *note J.13::).

28.g/2
          {<AI95-00394-01AI95-00394-01>} The bizarre wording "apply in
          this Annex" (which no one quite can explain the meaning of) is
          banished.

                       _Extensions to Ada 2005_

          Restrictions No_Anonymous_Allocators, No_Coextensions, and

          {<AI05-0189-1AI05-0189-1>} New restriction
          No_Standard_Allocators_After_Elaboration is added to the list
          of restrictions that are required by this annex.

28.j/3
          {<AI05-0263-1AI05-0263-1>} Correction: Ada 2005 restriction
          No_Dependence is added where needed (this was missed in Ada
          2005).

28.k/3
          {<AI05-0272-1AI05-0272-1>} Restrictions against individual
          aspects, pragmas, and attributes do not apply to the run-time
          system, in order that an implementation can use whatever
          aspects, pragmas, and attributes are needed to do the job.
          For instance, attempting to write a run-time system for Linux
          that does not use the Import aspect would be very difficult
          and probably is not what the user is trying to prevent anyway.

H.6 Pragma Partition_Elaboration_Policy
=======================================

1/3
{<AI95-00265-01AI95-00265-01>} {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} This subclause
defines a pragma for user control over elaboration policy.

                               _Syntax_

2/2
     {<AI95-00265-01AI95-00265-01>} The form of a pragma
     Partition_Elaboration_Policy is as follows:

3/2
       pragma Partition_Elaboration_Policy (<policy_>identifier);

4/2
     The <policy_>identifier shall be either Sequential, Concurrent or
     an implementation-defined identifier.

4.a/2
          Implementation defined: Implementation-defined
          <policy_>identifiers allowed in a pragma
          Partition_Elaboration_Policy.

4.b/3
          Ramification: Note that the Ravenscar profile (see *note
          D.13::) has nothing to say about which
          Partition_Elaboration_Policy is used.  This was intentionally
          omitted from the profile, as there was no agreement as to
          whether the Sequential policy should be required for Ravenscar
          programs.  As such it was defined separately.

                       _Post-Compilation Rules_

5/2
{<AI95-00265-01AI95-00265-01>} A pragma Partition_Elaboration_Policy is
a configuration pragma.  It specifies the elaboration policy for a
partition.  At most one elaboration policy shall be specified for a
partition.

6/3
{<AI95-00265-01AI95-00265-01>} {<AI05-0264-1AI05-0264-1>} If the
Sequential policy is specified for a partition, then pragma Restrictions
(No_Task_Hierarchy) shall also be specified for the partition.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

7/2
{<AI95-00265-01AI95-00265-01>} Notwithstanding what this International
Standard says elsewhere, this pragma allows partition elaboration rules
concerning task activation and interrupt attachment to be changed.  If
the <policy_>identifier is Concurrent, or if there is no pragma
Partition_Elaboration_Policy defined for the partition, then the rules
defined elsewhere in this Standard apply.

8/2
{<AI95-00265-01AI95-00265-01>} {<AI95-00421-01AI95-00421-01>} If the
partition elaboration policy is Sequential, then task activation and
interrupt attachment are performed in the following sequence of steps:

9/2
   * The activation of all library-level tasks and the attachment of
     interrupt handlers are deferred until all library units are
     elaborated.

10/2
   * The interrupt handlers are attached by the environment task.

11/2
   * The environment task is suspended while the library-level tasks are
     activated.

12/2
   * The environment task executes the main subprogram (if any)
     concurrently with these executing tasks.

13/2
{<AI95-00265-01AI95-00265-01>} {<AI95-00421-01AI95-00421-01>} If several
dynamic interrupt handler attachments for the same interrupt are
deferred, then the most recent call of Attach_Handler or
Exchange_Handler determines which handler is attached.

14/2
{<AI95-00265-01AI95-00265-01>} {<AI95-00421-01AI95-00421-01>} If any
deferred task activation fails, Tasking_Error is raised at the beginning
of the sequence of statements of the body of the environment task prior
to calling the main subprogram.

Annex J Obsolescent Features
****************************

1/2
{<AI95-00368-01AI95-00368-01>} [ This Annex contains descriptions of
features of the language whose functionality is largely redundant with
other features defined by this International Standard.  Use of these
features is not recommended in newly written programs.  Use of these
features can be prevented by using pragma Restrictions
(No_Obsolescent_Features), see *note 13.12.1::.]

1.a
          Ramification: These features are still part of the language,
          and have to be implemented by conforming implementations.  The
          primary reason for putting these descriptions here is to get
          redundant features out of the way of most readers.  The
          designers of the next version of Ada will have to assess
          whether or not it makes sense to drop these features from the
          language.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

1.b
          The following features have been removed from the language,
          rather than declared to be obsolescent:

1.c
             * The package Low_Level_IO (see *note A.6::).

1.d
             * The Epsilon, Mantissa, Emax, Small, Large, Safe_Emax,
               Safe_Small, and Safe_Large attributes of floating point
               types (see *note A.5.3::).

1.e/2
             * <This paragraph was
               deleted.>{<AI95-00284-02AI95-00284-02>}

1.f
             * The pragmas System_Name, Storage_Unit, and Memory_Size
               (see *note 13.7::).

1.g
             * The pragma Shared (see *note C.6::).

1.h
          Implementations can continue to support the above features for
          upward compatibility.

1.i/2
          {<AI95-00368-01AI95-00368-01>} A mention of the
          No_Obsolescent_Features restriction was added.

          {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} Pragma Controlled has been removed
          from the language, rather than declared to be obsolescent.  No
          existing implementation gives it any effect.  An

          implementation-defined pragma for upward compatibility.

J.1 Renamings of Library Units
==============================

                          _Static Semantics_

1
The following library_unit_renaming_declarations exist:

2
     with Ada.Unchecked_Conversion;
     generic function Unchecked_Conversion renames Ada.Unchecked_Conversion;

3
     with Ada.Unchecked_Deallocation;
     generic procedure Unchecked_Deallocation renames Ada.Unchecked_Deallocation;

4
     with Ada.Sequential_IO;
     generic package Sequential_IO renames Ada.Sequential_IO;

5
     with Ada.Direct_IO;
     generic package Direct_IO renames Ada.Direct_IO;

     with Ada.Text_IO;
     package Text_IO renames Ada.Text_IO;

          Discussion: {<AI05-0004-1AI05-0004-1>} These library units
          correspond to those declared in Ada 83, which did not have the
          child unit concept or the parent package Ada.

                     _Implementation Requirements_

10
The implementation shall allow the user to replace these renamings.

J.2 Allowed Replacements of Characters
======================================

                               _Syntax_

1
     The following replacements are allowed for the vertical line,
     number sign, and quotation mark characters:

2
        * A vertical line character (|) can be replaced by an
          exclamation mark (!)  where used as a delimiter.

3
        * The number sign characters (#) of a based_literal can be
          replaced by colons (:) provided that the replacement is done
          for both occurrences.

3.a/2
          To be honest: {<AI95-00285-01AI95-00285-01>} The intent is
          that such a replacement works in the Value, Wide_Value, and
          Wide_Wide_Value attributes, and in the Get procedures of
          Text_IO (and Wide_Text_IO and Wide_Wide_Text_IO as well)}, so
          that things like "16:.123:" is acceptable.

4
        * The quotation marks (") used as string brackets at both ends
          of a string literal can be replaced by percent signs (%)
          provided that the enclosed sequence of characters contains no
          quotation mark, and provided that both string brackets are
          replaced.  Any percent sign within the sequence of characters
          shall then be doubled and each such doubled percent sign is
          interpreted as a single percent sign character value.

5
     These replacements do not change the meaning of the program.

5.a
          Reason: The original purpose of this feature was to support
          hardware (for example, teletype machines) that has long been
          obsolete.  The feature is no longer necessary for that reason.
          Another use of the feature has been to replace the vertical
          line character (|) when using certain hardware that treats
          that character as a (non-English) letter.  The feature is no
          longer necessary for that reason, either, since Ada 95 has
          full support for international character sets.  Therefore, we
          believe this feature is no longer necessary.

5.b
          Users of equipment that still uses | to represent a letter
          will continue to do so.  Perhaps by next the time Ada is
          revised, such equipment will no longer be in use.

5.c
          Note that it was never legal to use this feature as a
          convenient method of including double quotes in a string
          without doubling them -- the string literal:

5.d
               %"This is quoted."%

5.e/3
          {<AI05-0248-1AI05-0248-1>} is not legal in Ada (and never was
          legal).  One has to write:

5.f
               """This is quoted."""

J.3 Reduced Accuracy Subtypes
=============================

1
A digits_constraint may be used to define a floating point subtype with
a new value for its requested decimal precision, as reflected by its
Digits attribute.  Similarly, a delta_constraint may be used to define
an ordinary fixed point subtype with a new value for its <delta>, as
reflected by its Delta attribute.

1.a
          Discussion: It might be more direct to make these attributes
          specifiable via an attribute_definition_clause, and eliminate
          the syntax for these _constraints.

                               _Syntax_

2/4
     {<AI12-0152-1AI12-0152-1>} delta_constraint ::= delta <static_>
     simple_expression [range_constraint]

                        _Name Resolution Rules_

3/4
{<AI12-0152-1AI12-0152-1>} The simple_expression of a delta_constraint
is expected to be of any real type.

                           _Legality Rules_

4/4
{<AI12-0152-1AI12-0152-1>} The simple_expression of a delta_constraint
shall be static.

5
For a subtype_indication with a delta_constraint, the subtype_mark shall
denote an ordinary fixed point subtype.

6
For a subtype_indication with a digits_constraint, the subtype_mark
shall denote either a decimal fixed point subtype or a floating point
subtype (notwithstanding the rule given in *note 3.5.9:: that only
allows a decimal fixed point subtype).

6.a/2
          <This paragraph was deleted.>{<AI95-00114-01AI95-00114-01>}

                          _Static Semantics_

7/4
{<AI12-0152-1AI12-0152-1>} A subtype_indication with a subtype_mark that
denotes an ordinary fixed point subtype and a delta_constraint defines
an ordinary fixed point subtype with a <delta> given by the value of the
simple_expression of the delta_constraint.  If the delta_constraint
includes a range_constraint (*note 3.5: S0036.), then the ordinary fixed
point subtype is constrained by the range_constraint (*note 3.5:
S0036.).

8/4
{<AI12-0152-1AI12-0152-1>} A subtype_indication with a subtype_mark that
denotes a floating point subtype and a digits_constraint defines a
floating point subtype with a requested decimal precision (as reflected
by its Digits attribute) given by the value of the simple_expression of
the digits_constraint.  If the digits_constraint includes a
range_constraint (*note 3.5: S0036.), then the floating point subtype is
constrained by the range_constraint (*note 3.5: S0036.).

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

9/4
{<AI12-0152-1AI12-0152-1>} A delta_constraint is <compatible> with an
ordinary fixed point subtype if the value of the simple_expression is no
less than the <delta> of the subtype, and the range_constraint, if any,
is compatible with the subtype.

10/4
{<AI12-0152-1AI12-0152-1>} A digits_constraint is <compatible> with a
floating point subtype if the value of the simple_expression is no
greater than the requested decimal precision of the subtype, and the
range_constraint, if any, is compatible with the subtype.

11
The elaboration of a delta_constraint consists of the elaboration of the
range_constraint, if any.

11.a
          Reason: A numeric subtype is considered "constrained" only if
          a range constraint applies to it.  The only effect of a
          digits_constraint or a delta_constraint without a
          range_constraint is to specify the value of the corresponding
          Digits or Delta attribute in the new subtype.  The set of
          values of the subtype is not "constrained" in any way by such
          _constraints.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

11.b
          In Ada 83, a delta_constraint is called a
          fixed_point_constraint, and a digits_constraint is called a
          floating_point_constraint.  We have adopted other terms
          because digits_constraints apply primarily to decimal fixed
          point types now (they apply to floating point types only as an
          obsolescent feature).

                    _Wording Changes from Ada 2012_

11.c/4
          {<AI12-0152-1AI12-0152-1>} Corrigendum: Changed the syntax so
          that the value following delta in a delta_constraint is a
          simple_expression.  This is compatible as any expressions that
          would require extra parentheses are already illegal.  The
          change is necessary to eliminate syntax ambguities in
          derived_type_definitions.  The similar change for
          digits_constraint is documented in *note 3.5.9::.

J.4 The Constrained Attribute
=============================

                          _Static Semantics_

1
For every private subtype S, the following attribute is defined:

1.a
          Discussion: This includes generic formal private subtypes.

2
S'Constrained
               Yields the value False if S denotes an unconstrained
               nonformal private subtype with discriminants; also yields
               the value False if S denotes a generic formal private
               subtype, and the associated actual subtype is either an
               unconstrained subtype with discriminants or an
               unconstrained array subtype; yields the value True
               otherwise.  The value of this attribute is of the
               predefined subtype Boolean.

2.a
          Reason: Because Ada 95 has unknown_discriminant_parts, the
          Constrained attribute of private subtypes is obsolete.  This
          is fortunate, since its Ada 83 definition was confusing, as
          explained below.  Because this attribute is obsolete, we do
          not bother to extend its definition to private extensions.

2.b
          The Constrained attribute of an object is <not> obsolete.

2.c
          Note well: S'Constrained matches the Ada 95 definition of
          "constrained" only for composite subtypes.  For elementary
          subtypes, S'Constrained is always true, whether or not S is
          constrained.  (The Constrained attribute of an object does not
          have this problem, as it is only defined for objects of a
          discriminated type.)  So one should think of its designator as
          being 'Constrained_Or_Elementary.

J.6 Numeric_Error
=================

                          _Static Semantics_

1
The following declaration exists in the declaration of package Standard:

2
     Numeric_Error : exception renames Constraint_Error;

2.a
          Discussion: This is true even though it is not shown in *note
          A.1::.

2.b
          Reason: In Ada 83, it was unclear which situations should
          raise Numeric_Error, and which should raise Constraint_Error.
          The permissions of RM83-11.6 could often be used to allow the
          implementation to raise Constraint_Error in a situation where
          one would normally expect Numeric_Error.  To avoid this
          confusion, all situations that raise Numeric_Error in Ada 83
          are changed to raise Constraint_Error in Ada 95.
          Numeric_Error is changed to be a renaming of Constraint_Error
          to avoid most of the upward compatibilities associated with
          this change.

2.c
          In new code, Constraint_Error should be used instead of
          Numeric_Error.

J.7 At Clauses
==============

                               _Syntax_

1
     at_clause ::= for direct_name use at expression;

                          _Static Semantics_

2
An at_clause of the form "for <x> use at <y>;" is equivalent to an
attribute_definition_clause of the form "for <x>'Address use <y>;".

2.a
          Reason: The preferred syntax for specifying the address of an
          entity is an attribute_definition_clause specifying the
          Address attribute.  Therefore, the special-purpose at_clause
          syntax is now obsolete.

2.b
          The above equivalence implies, for example, that only one
          at_clause is allowed for a given entity.  Similarly, it is
          illegal to give both an at_clause and an
          attribute_definition_clause specifying the Address attribute.

                        _Extensions to Ada 83_

2.c
          We now allow to define the address of an entity using an
          attribute_definition_clause.  This is because Ada 83's
          at_clause is so hard to remember: programmers often tend to
          write "for X'Address use...;".

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

2.d
          Ada 83's address_clause is now called an at_clause to avoid
          confusion with the new term "Address clause" (that is, an
          attribute_definition_clause for the Address attribute).

               <interrupt entry>), the value refers to the corresponding
               hardware interrupt.  For such an entry, as for any other
               task entry, the meaning of this value is implementation
               defined.  The value of this attribute is of the type of
               the subtype System.Address.

6
               Address may be specified for single entries via an
               attribute_definition_clause.

6.a
          Reason: Because of the equivalence of at_clauses and
          attribute_definition_clauses, an interrupt entry may be
          specified via either notation.

                          _Dynamic Semantics_

7
As part of the initialization of a task object, the address clause for
an interrupt entry is elaborated[, which evaluates the expression of the
address clause].  A check is made that the address specified is
associated with some interrupt to which a task entry may be attached.
If this check fails, Program_Error is raised.  Otherwise, the interrupt
entry is attached to the interrupt associated with the specified
address.

8
Upon finalization of the task object, the interrupt entry, if any, is
detached from the corresponding interrupt and the default treatment is
restored.

9
While an interrupt entry is attached to an interrupt, the interrupt is
reserved (see *note C.3::).

10
An interrupt delivered to a task entry acts as a call to the entry
issued by a hardware task whose priority is in the
System.Interrupt_Priority range.  It is implementation defined whether
the call is performed as an ordinary entry call, a timed entry call, or
a conditional entry call; which kind of call is performed can depend on
the specific interrupt.

                      _Bounded (Run-Time) Errors_

11
It is a bounded error to evaluate E'Caller (see *note C.7.1::) in an
accept_statement for an interrupt entry.  The possible effects are the
same as for calling Current_Task from an entry body.

                     _Documentation Requirements_

12
The implementation shall document to which interrupts a task entry may
be attached.

12.a/2
          Documentation Requirement: The interrupts to which a task
          entry may be attached.

13
The implementation shall document whether the invocation of an interrupt
entry has the effect of an ordinary entry call, conditional call, or a
timed call, and whether the effect varies in the presence of pending
interrupts.

13.a/2
          Documentation Requirement: The type of entry call invoked for
          an interrupt entry.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

14
The support for this subclause is optional.

15
Interrupts to which the implementation allows a task entry to be
attached may be designated as reserved for the entire duration of
program execution[; that is, not just when they have an interrupt entry
attached to them].

16/1
{<8652/00778652/0077>} {<AI95-00111-01AI95-00111-01>} Interrupt entry
calls may be implemented by having the hardware execute directly the
appropriate accept_statement.  Alternatively, the implementation is
allowed to provide an internal interrupt handler to simulate the effect
of a normal task calling the entry.

17
The implementation is allowed to impose restrictions on the
specifications and bodies of tasks that have interrupt entries.

18
It is implementation defined whether direct calls (from the program) to
interrupt entries are allowed.

19
If a select_statement contains both a terminate_alternative and an
accept_alternative for an interrupt entry, then an implementation is
allowed to impose further requirements for the selection of the
terminate_alternative in addition to those given in *note 9.3::.

     NOTES

20/1
     1  {<8652/00778652/0077>} {<AI95-00111-01AI95-00111-01>} Queued
     interrupts correspond to ordinary entry calls.  Interrupts that are
     lost if not immediately processed correspond to conditional entry
     calls.  It is a consequence of the priority rules that an
     accept_statement executed in response to an interrupt can be
     executed with the active priority at which the hardware generates
     the interrupt, taking precedence over lower priority tasks, without
     a scheduling action.

21
     2  Control information that is supplied upon an interrupt can be
     passed to an associated interrupt entry as one or more parameters
     of mode in.

                              _Examples_

22
<Example of an interrupt entry:>

23
     task Interrupt_Handler is
       entry Done;
       for Done'Address use Ada.Interrupts.Reference(Ada.Interrupts.Names.Device_Done);
     end Interrupt_Handler;

J.8 Mod Clauses
===============

                               _Syntax_

1
     mod_clause ::= at mod <static_>expression;

                          _Static Semantics_

2
A record_representation_clause of the form:

3/3
     {<AI05-0092-1AI05-0092-1>} for <r> use
         record at mod <a>;
             ...
         end record;

4
is equivalent to:

5
     for <r>'Alignment use <a>;
     for <r> use
         record
             ...
         end record;

5.a
          Reason: The preferred syntax for specifying the alignment of
          an entity is an attribute_definition_clause specifying the
          Alignment attribute.  Therefore, the special-purpose
          mod_clause syntax is now obsolete.

5.b
          The above equivalence implies, for example, that it is illegal
          to give both a mod_clause and an attribute_definition_clause
          specifying the Alignment attribute for the same type.

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 83_

5.c
          Ada 83's alignment_clause is now called a mod_clause to avoid
          confusion with the new term "Alignment clause" (that is, an
          attribute_definition_clause for the Alignment attribute).

J.9 The Storage_Size Attribute
==============================

                          _Static Semantics_

1
For any task subtype T, the following attribute is defined:

2
T'Storage_Size
               Denotes an implementation-defined value of type
               <universal_integer> representing the number of storage
               elements reserved for a task of the subtype T.

2.a/3
          To be honest: {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} T'Storage_Size cannot
          be particularly meaningful in the presence of the
          specification of the aspect Storage_Size, especially when the
          expression is dynamic, or depends on a discriminant of the
          task, because the Storage_Size will be different for different
          objects of the type.  Even without such a specification, the
          Storage_Size can be different for different objects of the
          type, and in any case, the value is implementation defined.
          Hence, it is always implementation defined.

3/3
               {<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>}
               Storage_Size may be specified for a task first subtype
               that is not an interface via an
               attribute_definition_clause.  When the attribute is
               specified, the Storage_Size aspect is specified to be the
               value of the given expression.

3.a/3
          Ramification: {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} When this attribute
          is specified with an attribute_definition_clause, the
          associated aspect is set to the <value> of the expression
          given in the attribute_definition_clause, rather than the
          expression itself.  This value is therefore the same for all
          objects of the type; in particular, it is not re-evaluated
          when objects are created.  This is different than when the
          aspect is specified with an aspect_specification (see *note
          13.3::).

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

3.b/2
          {<AI95-00345-01AI95-00345-01>} We don't allow specifying
          Storage_Size on task interfaces.  We don't need to mention
          class-wide task types, because these cannot be a first
          subtype.

J.10 Specific Suppression of Checks
===================================

1/2
{<AI95-00224-01AI95-00224-01>} Pragma Suppress can be used to suppress
checks on specific entities.

                               _Syntax_

2/2
     {<AI95-00224-01AI95-00224-01>} The form of a specific Suppress
     pragma is as follows:

3/2
       pragma Suppress(identifier, [On =>] name);

                           _Legality Rules_

4/2
{<AI95-00224-01AI95-00224-01>} The identifier shall be the name of a
check (see *note 11.5::).  The name shall statically denote some entity.

5/2
{<AI95-00224-01AI95-00224-01>} For a specific Suppress pragma that is
immediately within a package_specification, the name shall denote an
entity (or several overloaded subprograms) declared immediately within
the package_specification (*note 7.1: S0191.).

                          _Static Semantics_

6/2
{<AI95-00224-01AI95-00224-01>} A specific Suppress pragma applies to the
named check from the place of the pragma to the end of the innermost
enclosing declarative region, or, if the pragma is given in a
package_specification, to the end of the scope of the named entity.  The
pragma applies only to the named entity, or, for a subtype, on objects
and values of its type.  A specific Suppress pragma suppresses the named
check for any entities to which it applies (see *note 11.5::).  Which
checks are associated with a specific entity is not defined by this
International Standard.

6.a/2
          Discussion: The language doesn't specify exactly which
          entities control whether a check is performed.  For example,
          in

6.b
               pragma Suppress (Range_Check, On => A);
               A := B;

6.c
          whether or not the range check is performed is not specified.
          The compiler may require that checks are suppressed on B or on
          the type of A in order to omit the range check.

                     _Implementation Permissions_

7/2
{<AI95-00224-01AI95-00224-01>} An implementation is allowed to place
restrictions on specific Suppress pragmas.

     NOTES

8/2
     3  {<AI95-00224-01AI95-00224-01>} An implementation may support a
     similar On parameter on pragma Unsuppress (see *note 11.5::).

                     _Wording Changes from Ada 95_

8.a/3
          {<AI95-00224-01AI95-00224-01>} {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} This
          subclause is new.  This feature was moved here because it is
          important for pragma Unsuppress that there be an unambiguous
          meaning for each checking pragma.  For instance, in the
          example

8.b
               pragma Suppress (Range_Check);
               pragma Unsuppress (Range_Check, On => A);
               A := B;

8.c
          the user needs to be able to depend on the range check being
          made on the assignment.  But a compiler survey showed that the
          interpretation of this feature varied widely; trying to define
          this carefully was likely to cause a lot of user and
          implementer pain.  Thus the feature was moved here, to
          emphasize that its use is not portable.

J.11 The Class Attribute of Untagged Incomplete Types
=====================================================

                          _Static Semantics_

1/2
{<AI95-00326-01AI95-00326-01>} For the first subtype S of a type <T>
declared by an incomplete_type_declaration that is not tagged, the
following attribute is defined:

2/2
{<AI95-00326-01AI95-00326-01>} S'Class
               Denotes the first subtype of the incomplete class-wide
               type rooted at <T>.  The completion of <T> shall declare
               a tagged type.  Such an attribute reference shall occur
               in the same library unit as the
               incomplete_type_declaration.

2.a/2
          Reason: {<AI95-00326-01AI95-00326-01>} This must occur in the
          same unit to prevent children from imposing requirements on
          their ancestor library units for deferred incomplete types.

          subclause is new.  This feature was moved here because the
          tagged incomplete type provides a better way to provide this
          capability (it doesn't put requirements on the completion
          based on uses that could be anywhere).  Pity we didn't think
          of it in 1994.

1.a/2
          Implementation Note: {<AI95-00284-02AI95-00284-02>} All

          subclause is new.  This is necessary as interface is now a
          reserved word, which would prevent pragma Interface from being
          an implementation-defined pragma.  We don't define any
          semantics for this pragma, as we expect that implementations
          will continue to use whatever they currently implement -
          requiring any changes would be counter-productive.

4.a/3
          Ramification: Note that inline expansion is desired no matter
          what name is used in the call.  This allows one to request
          inlining for only one of several overloaded subprograms as
          follows:

                  procedure Character_Put(X : in Character) renames Put;
                  pragma Inline(Character_Put);

                     _Implementation Permissions_

5/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} An implementation may allow a pragma Inline
that has an argument which is a direct_name denoting a subprogram_body
of the same declarative_part.

5.a/3
          Reason: This is allowed for Ada 83 compatibility.  This is
          only a permission as this usage was considered obsolescent
          even for Ada 95.

5.b/3
          Discussion: We only need to allow this in declarative_parts,
          because a body is only allowed in another body, and these all
          have declarative_parts.

     NOTES

6/3
     4  {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} The name in a pragma Inline may
     denote more than one entity in the case of overloading.  Such a
     pragma applies to all of the denoted entities.

          {<AI95-00309-01AI95-00309-01>} {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} A
          pragma Inline cannot refer to a subprogram_body outside of
          that body.  The pragma can be given inside of the subprogram
          body.  Ada 2005 adds an Implementation Permission to allow
          this usage for compatibility (and Ada 95 implementations also
          can use this permission), but implementations do not have to
          allow such pragmas.

8/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} A pragma Import shall be the completion of a
declaration.  Notwithstanding any rule to the contrary, a pragma Import
may serve as the completion of any kind of (explicit) declaration if
supported by an implementation for that kind of declaration.  If a
completion is a pragma Import, then it shall appear in the same
declarative_part, package_specification, task_definition, or
protected_definition as the declaration.  For a library unit, it shall
appear in the same compilation, before any subsequent compilation_units
other than pragmas.  If the local_name denotes more than one entity,
then the pragma Import is the completion of all of them.

type for the expression is Interrupts.Interrupt_Id (see *note C.3.2::).

7/3
{<AI05-0033-1AI05-0033-1>} {<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} The Attach_Handler
and Interrupt_Handler pragmas are only allowed immediately within the
protected_definition where the corresponding subprogram is declared.
The corresponding protected_type_declaration or
single_protected_declaration shall be a library-level declaration, and
shall not be declared within a generic body.  In addition to the places
where Legality Rules normally apply (see *note 12.3::), these rules also
apply in the private part of an instance of a generic unit.

7.a/3
          Discussion: In the case of a protected_type_declaration, an
          object_declaration of an object of that type need not be at
          library level.

7.b/3
          {<AI05-0033-1AI05-0033-1>} We cannot allow these pragmas in a
          generic body, because legality rules are not checked for
          instance bodies, and these should not be allowed if the
          instance is not at the library level.  The protected types can
          be declared in the private part if this is desired.  Note that
          while the 'Access to use the handler would provide the check
          in the case of Interrupt_Handler, there is no other check for
          Attach_Handler.  Since these pragmas are so similar, we want
          the rules to be the same.

                          _Static Semantics_

8/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} For an implementation that supports Annex C,
a pragma Interrupt_Handler specifies the Interrupt_Handler aspect (see
*note C.3.1::) for the protected procedure <handler_>name to have the
value True.  For an implementation that supports Annex C, a pragma
Attach_Handler specifies the Attach_Handler aspect (see *note C.3.1::)
for the protected procedure <handler_>name to have the value of the
given expression[ as evaluated at object creation time].

          contract wording for the pragma Attach_Handler and
          Interrupt_Handler.  This means that nested instances with
          these pragmas in the private part are now illegal.  This is

K.2 Language-Defined Attributes
===============================

1/3
{<AI05-0229-1AI05-0229-1>} {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} This subclause
summarizes the definitions given elsewhere of the language-defined
attributes.  Attributes are properties of entities that can be queried
by an Ada program.

2
P'Access
               For a prefix P that denotes a subprogram:

3
               P'Access yields an access value that designates the
               subprogram denoted by P. The type of P'Access is an
               access-to-subprogram type (<S>), as determined by the
               expected type.  See *note 3.10.2::.

4
X'Access
               For a prefix X that denotes an aliased view of an object:

5
               X'Access yields an access value that designates the
               object denoted by X. The type of X'Access is an
               access-to-object type, as determined by the expected
               type.  The expected type shall be a general access type.
               See *note 3.10.2::.

6/1
X'Address
               For a prefix X that denotes an object, program unit, or
               label:

7
               Denotes the address of the first of the storage elements
               allocated to X. For a program unit or label, this value
               refers to the machine code associated with the
               corresponding body or statement.  The value of this
               attribute is of type System.Address.  See *note 13.3::.

8
S'Adjacent
               For every subtype S of a floating point type <T>:

9
               S'Adjacent denotes a function with the following
               specification:

10
                    function S'Adjacent (<X>, <Towards> : <T>)
                      return <T>

11
               If <Towards> = <X>, the function yields <X>; otherwise,
               it yields the machine number of the type <T> adjacent to
               <X> in the direction of <Towards>, if that machine number
               exists.  If the result would be outside the base range of
               S, Constraint_Error is raised.  When <T>'Signed_Zeros is
               True, a zero result has the sign of <X>.  When <Towards>
               is zero, its sign has no bearing on the result.  See
               *note A.5.3::.

12
S'Aft
               For every fixed point subtype S:

13
               S'Aft yields the number of decimal digits needed after
               the decimal point to accommodate the <delta> of the
               subtype S, unless the <delta> of the subtype S is greater
               than 0.1, in which case the attribute yields the value
               one.  (S'Aft is the smallest positive integer N for which
               (10**N)*S'Delta is greater than or equal to one.)  The
               value of this attribute is of the type
               <universal_integer>.  See *note 3.5.10::.

13.1/2
S'Alignment
               For every subtype S:

13.2/2
               The value of this attribute is of type
               <universal_integer>, and nonnegative.

13.3/2
               For an object X of subtype S, if S'Alignment is not zero,
               then X'Alignment is a nonzero integral multiple of
               S'Alignment unless specified otherwise by a
               representation item.  See *note 13.3::.

14/1
X'Alignment
               For a prefix X that denotes an object:

15/2
               The value of this attribute is of type
               <universal_integer>, and nonnegative; zero means that the
               object is not necessarily aligned on a storage element
               boundary.  If X'Alignment is not zero, then X is aligned
               on a storage unit boundary and X'Address is an integral
               multiple of X'Alignment (that is, the Address modulo the
               Alignment is zero).

16/2

               <This paragraph was deleted.> See *note 13.3::.

17
S'Base
               For every scalar subtype S:

18
               S'Base denotes an unconstrained subtype of the type of S.
               This unconstrained subtype is called the <base subtype>
               of the type.  See *note 3.5::.

19
S'Bit_Order
               For every specific record subtype S:

20
               Denotes the bit ordering for the type of S. The value of
               this attribute is of type System.Bit_Order.  See *note
               13.5.3::.

21/1
P'Body_Version
               For a prefix P that statically denotes a program unit:

22
               Yields a value of the predefined type String that
               identifies the version of the compilation unit that
               contains the body (but not any subunits) of the program
               unit.  See *note E.3::.

23
T'Callable
               For a prefix T that is of a task type (after any implicit
               dereference):

24
               Yields the value True when the task denoted by T is
               <callable>, and False otherwise; See *note 9.9::.

25
E'Caller
               For a prefix E that denotes an entry_declaration:

26/3
               Yields a value of the type Task_Id that identifies the
               task whose call is now being serviced.  Use of this
               attribute is allowed only inside an accept_statement, or
               entry_body after the entry_barrier, corresponding to the
               entry_declaration denoted by E. See *note C.7.1::.

27
S'Ceiling
               For every subtype S of a floating point type <T>:

28
               S'Ceiling denotes a function with the following
               specification:

29
                    function S'Ceiling (<X> : <T>)
                      return <T>

30
               The function yields the value 'ceiling(<X>)', i.e., the
               smallest (most negative) integral value greater than or
               equal to <X>.  When <X> is zero, the result has the sign
               of <X>; a zero result otherwise has a negative sign when
               S'Signed_Zeros is True.  See *note A.5.3::.

31
S'Class
               For every subtype S of a tagged type <T> (specific or
               class-wide):

32
               S'Class denotes a subtype of the class-wide type (called
               <T>'Class in this International Standard) for the class
               rooted at <T> (or if S already denotes a class-wide
               subtype, then S'Class is the same as S).

33
               S'Class is unconstrained.  However, if S is constrained,
               then the values of S'Class are only those that when
               converted to the type <T> belong to S. See *note 3.9::.

34
S'Class
               For every subtype S of an untagged private type whose
               full view is tagged:

35
               Denotes the class-wide subtype corresponding to the full
               view of S. This attribute is allowed only from the
               beginning of the private part in which the full view is
               declared, until the declaration of the full view.  After
               the full view, the Class attribute of the full view can
               be used.  See *note 7.3.1::.

36/1
X'Component_Size
               For a prefix X that denotes an array subtype or array
               object (after any implicit dereference):

37
               Denotes the size in bits of components of the type of X.
               The value of this attribute is of type
               <universal_integer>.  See *note 13.3::.

38
S'Compose
               For every subtype S of a floating point type <T>:

39
               S'Compose denotes a function with the following
               specification:

40
                    function S'Compose (<Fraction> : <T>;
                                        <Exponent> : <universal_integer>)
                      return <T>

41
               Let <v> be the value <Fraction> ·
               <T>'Machine_Radix<Exponent>-<k>, where <k> is the
               normalized exponent of <Fraction>.  If <v> is a machine
               number of the type <T>, or if |<v>| >= <T>'Model_Small,
               the function yields <v>; otherwise, it yields either one
               of the machine numbers of the type <T> adjacent to <v>.  
               Constraint_Error is optionally raised if <v> is outside
               the base range of S. A zero result has the sign of
               <Fraction> when S'Signed_Zeros is True.  See *note
               A.5.3::.

42
A'Constrained
               For a prefix A that is of a discriminated type (after any
               implicit dereference):

43/3
               Yields the value True if A denotes a constant, a value, a
               tagged object, or a constrained variable, and False
               otherwise.  See *note 3.7.2::.

44
S'Copy_Sign
               For every subtype S of a floating point type <T>:

                    function S'Copy_Sign (<Value>, <Sign> : <T>)
                      return <T>

47
               If the value of <Value> is nonzero, the function yields a
               result whose magnitude is that of <Value> and whose sign
               is that of <Sign>; otherwise, it yields the value zero.  
               Constraint_Error is optionally raised if the result is
               outside the base range of S. A zero result has the sign
               of <Sign> when S'Signed_Zeros is True.  See *note
               A.5.3::.

48

               For a prefix E that denotes an entry of a task or
               protected unit:

49
               Yields the number of calls presently queued on the entry
               E of the current instance of the unit.  The value of this
               attribute is of the type <universal_integer>.  See *note
               9.9::.

50/1
S'Definite
               For a prefix S that denotes a formal indefinite subtype:

51/3
               S'Definite yields True if the actual subtype
               corresponding to S is definite; otherwise, it yields
               False.  The value of this attribute is of the predefined
               type Boolean.  See *note 12.5.1::.

               S'Delta denotes the <delta> of the fixed point subtype S.
               The value of this attribute is of the type
               <universal_real>.  See *note 3.5.10::.

54
S'Denorm
               For every subtype S of a floating point type <T>:

55
               Yields the value True if every value expressible in the
               form
                   ± <mantissa> · <T>'Machine_Radix<T>'Machine_Emin
               where <mantissa> is a nonzero <T>'Machine_Mantissa-digit
               fraction in the number base <T>'Machine_Radix, the first
               digit of which is zero, is a machine number (see *note
               3.5.7::) of the type <T>; yields the value False
               otherwise.  The value of this attribute is of the
               predefined type Boolean.  See *note A.5.3::.

56
S'Digits
               For every floating point subtype S:

57
               S'Digits denotes the requested decimal precision for the
               subtype S. The value of this attribute is of the type

               subtype S, which corresponds to the number of decimal
               digits that are representable in objects of the subtype.
               The value of this attribute is of the type
               <universal_integer>.  See *note 3.5.10::.

                      return <universal_integer>

63
               The function yields the normalized exponent of <X>.  See
               *note A.5.3::.

65
               S'External_Tag denotes an external string representation
               for S'Tag; it is of the predefined type String.
               External_Tag may be specified for a specific tagged type
               via an attribute_definition_clause; the expression of
               such a clause shall be static.  The default external tag
               representation is implementation defined.  See *note
               13.13.2::.  See *note 13.3::.

66/1

               exists at least one value belonging to S that satisfies
               the predicates of S:

73.2/4
               S'First_Valid denotes the smallest value that belongs to
               S and satisfies the predicates of S. The value of this

75
               S'Floor denotes a function with the following

               of the object denoted by the actual parameter occupies
               exactly the same bits as the representation of the object

95/3
               First reads the external tag from <Stream> and determines
               the corresponding internal tag (by calling
               Tags.Descendant_Tag(String'Input(<Stream>), S'Tag) which
               might raise Tag_Error -- see *note 3.9::) and then

               The function yields the integral value nearest to <X>,
               rounding away from zero if <X> lies exactly halfway
               between two integers.  A zero result has the sign of <X>

               If <v> is a machine number of the type <T>, or if |<v>|
               >= <T>'Model_Small, the function yields <v>; otherwise,
               it yields either one of the machine numbers of the type

               For every access-to-object subtype S:

233
               Denotes the storage pool of the type of S. The type of
               this attribute is Root_Storage_Pool'Class.  See *note
               13.11::.

234
S'Storage_Size
               For every access-to-object subtype S:

235
               Yields the result of calling
               Storage_Size(S'Storage_Pool), which is intended to be a
               measure of the number of storage elements reserved for
               the pool.  The type of this attribute is
               <universal_integer>.  See *note 13.11::.

236/1
T'Storage_Size
               For a prefix T that denotes a task object (after any
               implicit dereference):

237
               Denotes the number of storage elements reserved for the
               task.  The value of this attribute is of the type
               <universal_integer>.  The Storage_Size includes the size
               of the task's stack, if any.  The language does not
               specify whether or not it includes other storage
               associated with the task (such as the "task control
               block" used by some implementations.)  See *note 13.3::.

               stream by the default implementations of S'Read and
               S'Write.  Hence, the number of stream elements required
               per item of elementary type <T> is:

237.3/2
                    <T>'Stream_Size / Ada.Streams.Stream_Element'Size

237.4/2
               The value of this attribute is of type
               <universal_integer> and is a multiple of
               Stream_Element'Size.  See *note 13.13.2::.

                    function S'Succ(<Arg> : S'Base)
                      return S'Base

241
               For an enumeration type, the function returns the value
               whose position number is one more than that of the value
               of <Arg>; Constraint_Error is raised if there is no such
               value of the type.  For an integer type, the function
               returns the result of adding one to the value of <Arg>.
               For a fixed point type, the function returns the result
               of adding <small> to the value of <Arg>.  For a floating
               point type, the function returns the machine number (as
               defined in *note 3.5.7::) immediately above the value of
               <Arg>; Constraint_Error is raised if there is no such
               machine number.  See *note 3.5::.

242
S'Tag
               For every subtype S of a tagged type <T> (specific or
               class-wide):

243
               S'Tag denotes the tag of the type <T> (or if <T> is
               class-wide, the tag of the root type of the corresponding
               class).  The value of this attribute is of type Tag.  See
               *note 3.9::.

244

               terminated, and False otherwise.  The value of this
               attribute is of the predefined type Boolean.  See *note
               9.9::.

248

                    function S'Truncation (<X> : <T>)
                      return <T>

251
               The function yields the value 'ceiling(<X>)' when <X> is
               negative, and 'floor(<X>)' otherwise.  A zero result has
               the sign of <X> when S'Signed_Zeros is True.  See *note
               A.5.3::.

252

                      return <T>

255
               The function yields the integral value nearest to <X>,
               rounding toward the even integer if <X> lies exactly
               halfway between two integers.  A zero result has the sign
               of <X> when S'Signed_Zeros is True.  See *note A.5.3::.

256
X'Unchecked_Access
               For a prefix X that denotes an aliased view of an object:

257
               All rules and semantics that apply to X'Access (see *note
               3.10.2::) apply also to X'Unchecked_Access, except that,
               for the purposes of accessibility rules and checks, it is
               as if X were declared immediately within a library
               package.  See *note 13.10::.

258
S'Val
               For every discrete subtype S:

               Yields True if and only if the object denoted by X is
               normal, has a valid representation, and then, if the
               preceding conditions hold, the value of X also satisfies
               the predicates of the nominal subtype of X. The value of
               this attribute is of the predefined type Boolean.  See
               *note 13.9.2::.

Annex M Summary of Documentation Requirements
*********************************************

1/3
{<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} The Ada language allows for certain target
machine dependences in a controlled manner.  Each Ada implementation
must document many characteristics and properties of the target system.
This International Standard contains specific documentation
requirements.  In addition, many characteristics that require
documentation are identified throughout this International Standard as
being implementation defined.  Finally, this International Standard
requires documentation of whether implementation advice is followed.
The following subclauses provide summaries of these documentation
requirements.

M.3 Implementation Advice
=========================

1/2
This International Standard sometimes gives advice about handling
certain target machine dependences.  Each Ada implementation must
document whether that advice is followed:

1.a/2
          Ramification: Some of the items in this list require
          documentation only for implementations that conform to
          Specialized Needs Annexes.

2/2
   * Program_Error should be raised when an unsupported Specialized
     Needs Annex feature is used at run time.  See *note 1.1.3::(20).

3/2
   * Implementation-defined extensions to the functionality of a
     language-defined library unit should be provided by adding children
     to the library unit.  See *note 1.1.3::(21).

4/2
   * If a bounded error or erroneous execution is detected,
     Program_Error should be raised.  See *note 1.1.5::(12).

5/2
   * Implementation-defined pragmas should have no semantic effect for
     error-free programs.  See *note 2.8::(16/3).

6/2
   * Implementation-defined pragmas should not make an illegal program
     legal, unless they complete a declaration or configure the
     library_items in an environment.  See *note 2.8::(19).

7/2
   * Long_Integer should be declared in Standard if the target supports
     32-bit arithmetic.  No other named integer subtypes should be
     declared in Standard.  See *note 3.5.4::(28).

8/2
   * For a two's complement target, modular types with a binary modulus
     up to System.Max_Int*2+2 should be supported.  A nonbinary modulus
     up to Integer'Last should be supported.  See *note 3.5.4::(29).

9/2
   * Program_Error should be raised for the evaluation of S'Pos for an
     enumeration type, if the value of the operand does not correspond
     to the internal code for any enumeration literal of the type.  See
     *note 3.5.5::(8).

10/2
   * Long_Float should be declared in Standard if the target supports 11
     or more digits of precision.  No other named float subtypes should
     be declared in Standard.  See *note 3.5.7::(17).

11/2
   * Multidimensional arrays should be represented in row-major order,
     unless the array has convention Fortran.  See *note 3.6.2::(11/3).

12/3
   * Tags.Internal_Tag should return the tag of a type, if one exists,
     whose innermost master is a master of the point of the function
     call..  See *note 3.9::(26.1/3).

13/2
   * A real static expression with a nonformal type that is not part of
     a larger static expression should be rounded the same as the target
     system.  See *note 4.9::(38.1/2).

14/2
   * The value of Duration'Small should be no greater than 100
     microseconds.  See *note 9.6::(30).

15/2
   * The time base for delay_relative_statements should be monotonic.
     See *note 9.6::(31).

16/2
   * Leap seconds should be supported if the target system supports
     them.  Otherwise, operations in Calendar.Formatting should return
     results consistent with no leap seconds.  See *note 9.6.1::(89/2).

17/2
   * When applied to a generic unit, a program unit pragma that is not a
     library unit pragma should apply to each instance of the generic
     unit for which there is not an overriding pragma applied directly
     to the instance.  See *note 10.1.5::(10/1).

18/2
   * A type declared in a preelaborated package should have the same
     representation in every elaboration of a given version of the
     package.  See *note 10.2.1::(12).

19/2
   * Exception_Information should provide information useful for
     debugging, and should include the Exception_Name and
     Exception_Message.  See *note 11.4.1::(19).

20/2
   * Exception_Message by default should be short, provide information
     useful for debugging, and should not include the Exception_Name.
     See *note 11.4.1::(19).

21/2
   * Code executed for checks that have been suppressed should be
     minimized.  See *note 11.5::(28).

22/2
   * The recommended level of support for all representation items
     should be followed.  See *note 13.1::(28/3).

23/2
   * Storage allocated to objects of a packed type should be minimized.
     See *note 13.2::(6).

24/3
   * The recommended level of support for the Pack aspect should be
     followed.  See *note 13.2::(9).

25/2
   * For an array X, X'Address should point at the first component of
     the array rather than the array bounds.  See *note 13.3::(14).

26/2
   * The recommended level of support for the Address attribute should
     be followed.  See *note 13.3::(19).

26.1/3
   * For any tagged specific subtype <S>, <S>'Class'Alignment should
     equal <S>'Alignment.  See *note 13.3::(28).

27/2
   * The recommended level of support for the Alignment attribute should
     be followed.  See *note 13.3::(35).

28/2
   * The Size of an array object should not include its bounds.  See
     *note 13.3::(41.1/2).

29/2
   * If the Size of a subtype allows for efficient independent
     addressability, then the Size of most objects of the subtype should
     equal the Size of the subtype.  See *note 13.3::(52).

30/2
   * A Size clause on a composite subtype should not affect the internal
     layout of components.  See *note 13.3::(53).

31/2
   * The recommended level of support for the Size attribute should be
     followed.  See *note 13.3::(56).

32/2
   * The recommended level of support for the Component_Size attribute
     should be followed.  See *note 13.3::(73).

33/2
   * The recommended level of support for
     enumeration_representation_clauses should be followed.  See *note
     13.4::(10).

34/2
   * The recommended level of support for record_representation_clauses
     should be followed.  See *note 13.5.1::(22).

35/2
   * If a component is represented using a pointer to the actual data of
     the component which is contiguous with the rest of the object, then
     the storage place attributes should reflect the place of the actual
     data.  If a component is allocated discontiguously from the rest of
     the object, then a warning should be generated upon reference to
     one of its storage place attributes.  See *note 13.5.2::(5).

36/2
   * The recommended level of support for the nondefault bit ordering
     should be followed.  See *note 13.5.3::(8).

37/2
   * Type System.Address should be a private type.  See *note
     13.7::(37).

38/2
   * Operations in System and its children should reflect the target
     environment; operations that do not make sense should raise
     Program_Error.  See *note 13.7.1::(16).

39/2
   * Since the Size of an array object generally does not include its
     bounds, the bounds should not be part of the converted data in an
     instance of Unchecked_Conversion.  See *note 13.9::(14/2).

40/2
   * There should not be unnecessary run-time checks on the result of an
     Unchecked_Conversion; the result should be returned by reference
     when possible.  Restrictions on Unchecked_Conversions should be
     avoided.  See *note 13.9::(15).

41/2
   * The recommended level of support for Unchecked_Conversion should be
     followed.  See *note 13.9::(17).

42/2
   * Any cases in which heap storage is dynamically allocated other than
     as part of the evaluation of an allocator should be documented.
     See *note 13.11::(23).

43/2
   * A default storage pool for an access-to-constant type should not
     have overhead to support deallocation of individual objects.  See
     *note 13.11::(24).

44/2
   * Usually, a storage pool for an access discriminant or access
     parameter should be created at the point of an allocator, and be
     reclaimed when the designated object becomes inaccessible.  For
     other anonymous access types, the pool should be created at the
     point where the type is elaborated and need not support
     deallocation of individual objects.  See *note 13.11::(25).

45/2
   * For a standard storage pool, an instance of Unchecked_Deallocation
     should actually reclaim the storage.  See *note 13.11.2::(17).

45.1/3
   * A call on an instance of Unchecked_Deallocation with a nonnull
     access value should raise Program_Error if the actual access type
     of the instance is a type for which the Storage_Size has been
     specified to be zero or is defined by the language to be zero.  See
     *note 13.11.2::(17.1/3).

46/2
   * If not specified, the value of Stream_Size for an elementary type
     should be the number of bits that corresponds to the minimum number
     of stream elements required by the first subtype of the type,
     rounded up to the nearest factor or multiple of the word size that
     is also a multiple of the stream element size.  See *note
     13.13.2::(1.6/2).

47/2
   * The recommended level of support for the Stream_Size attribute
     should be followed.  See *note 13.13.2::(1.8/2).

48/2
   * If an implementation provides additional named predefined integer
     types, then the names should end with "Integer".  If an
     implementation provides additional named predefined floating point
     types, then the names should end with "Float".  See *note
     A.1::(52).

49/2
   * Implementation-defined operations on Wide_Character, Wide_String,
     Wide_Wide_Character, and Wide_Wide_String should be child units of
     Wide_Characters or Wide_Wide_Characters.  See *note A.3.1::(7/3).

49.1/3
   * The string returned by
     Wide_Characters.Handling.Character_Set_Version should include
     either "10646:" or "Unicode".  See *note A.3.5::(62).

50/2
   * Bounded string objects should not be implemented by implicit
     pointers and dynamic allocation.  See *note A.4.4::(106).

51/2
   * Strings.Hash should be good a hash function, returning a wide
     spread of values for different string values, and similar strings
     should rarely return the same value.  See *note A.4.9::(12/2).

51.1/3
   * If an implementation supports other string encoding schemes, a
     child of Ada.Strings similar to UTF_Encoding should be defined.
     See *note A.4.11::(107/3).

52/2
   * Any storage associated with an object of type Generator of the
     random number packages should be reclaimed on exit from the scope
     of the object.  See *note A.5.2::(46).

53/2
   * Each value of Initiator passed to Reset for the random number
     packages should initiate a distinct sequence of random numbers, or,
     if that is not possible, be at least a rapidly varying function of
     the initiator value.  See *note A.5.2::(47).

54/2
   * Get_Immediate should be implemented with unbuffered input; input
     should be available immediately; line-editing should be disabled.
     See *note A.10.7::(23).

55/2
   * Package Directories.Information should be provided to retrieve
     other information about a file.  See *note A.16::(124/2).

56/3
   * Directories.Start_Search and Directories.Search should raise
     Name_Error for malformed patterns.  See *note A.16::(125).

57/2
   * Directories.Rename should be supported at least when both New_Name
     and Old_Name are simple names and New_Name does not identify an
     existing external file.  See *note A.16::(126/2).

57.1/3
   * Directories.Hierarchical_File_Names should be provided for systems
     with hierarchical file naming, and should not be provided on other
     systems.  See *note A.16.1::(36/3).

58/2
   * If the execution environment supports subprocesses, the current
     environment variables should be used to initialize the environment
     variables of a subprocess.  See *note A.17::(32/2).

59/2
   * Changes to the environment variables made outside the control of
     Environment_Variables should be reflected immediately.  See *note
     A.17::(33/2).

60/2
   * Containers.Hash_Type'Modulus should be at least 2**32.
     Containers.Count_Type'Last should be at least 2**31-1.  See *note
     A.18.1::(8/2).

61/2
   * The worst-case time complexity of Element for Containers.Vector
     should be <O>(log <N>).  See *note A.18.2::(256/2).

Annex N Glossary
****************

1/2
{<AI95-00437-01AI95-00437-01>} This Annex contains informal descriptions
of some of the terms used in this International Standard.  The index
provides references to more formal definitions of all of the terms used
in this International Standard.

1.1/2
Abstract type.  An abstract type is a tagged type intended for use as an
ancestor of other types, but which is not allowed to have objects of its
own.

2
Access type.  An access type has values that designate aliased objects.
Access types correspond to "pointer types" or "reference types" in some
other languages.

3
Aliased.  An aliased view of an object is one that can be designated by
an access value.  Objects allocated by allocators are aliased.  Objects
can also be explicitly declared as aliased with the reserved word
aliased.  The Access attribute can be used to create an access value
designating an aliased object.

3.1/2
Ancestor.  An ancestor of a type is the type itself or, in the case of a
type derived from other types, its parent type or one of its progenitor
types or one of their ancestors.  Note that ancestor and descendant are
inverse relationships.

4
Array type.  An array type is a composite type whose components are all
of the same type.  Components are selected by indexing.

4.1/3
Aspect.  An aspect is a specifiable property of an entity.  An aspect
may be specified by an aspect_specification on the declaration of the
entity.  Some aspects may be queried via attributes.

4.2/3
Assertion.  An assertion is a boolean expression that appears in any of
the following: a pragma Assert, a predicate, a precondition, a
postcondition, an invariant, a constraint, or a null exclusion.  An
assertion is expected to be True at run time at certain specified
places.

4.3/2
Category (of types).  A category of types is a set of types with one or
more common properties, such as primitive operations.  A category of
types that is closed under derivation is also known as a <class>.

5
Character type.  A character type is an enumeration type whose values
include characters.

6/2
Class (of types).  A class is a set of types that is closed under
derivation, which means that if a given type is in the class, then all
types derived from that type are also in the class.  The set of types of
a class share common properties, such as their primitive operations.

7
Compilation unit.  The text of a program can be submitted to the
compiler in one or more compilations.  Each compilation is a succession
of compilation_units.  A compilation_unit contains either the
declaration, the body, or a renaming of a program unit.

8/2
Composite type.  A composite type may have components.

9
Construct.  A <construct> is a piece of text (explicit or implicit) that
is an instance of a syntactic category defined under "Syntax".

9.1/3
Container.  A container is an object that contain other objects all of
the same type, which could be class-wide.  Several predefined container
types are provided by the children of package Ada.Containers (see *note
A.18.1::).

10
Controlled type.  A controlled type supports user-defined assignment and
finalization.  Objects are always finalized before being destroyed.

11
Declaration.  A <declaration> is a language construct that associates a
name with (a view of) an entity.  A declaration may appear explicitly in
the program text (an <explicit> declaration), or may be supposed to
occur at a given place in the text as a consequence of the semantics of
another construct (an <implicit> declaration).

12/2
<This paragraph was deleted.>

13/2
Derived type.  A derived type is a type defined in terms of one or more
other types given in a derived type definition.  The first of those
types is the parent type of the derived type and any others are
progenitor types.  Each class containing the parent type or a progenitor
type also contains the derived type.  The derived type inherits
properties such as components and primitive operations from the parent
and progenitors.  A type together with the types derived from it
(directly or indirectly) form a derivation class.

13.1/2
Descendant.  A type is a descendant of itself, its parent and progenitor
types, and their ancestors.  Note that descendant and ancestor are
inverse relationships.

14
Discrete type.  A discrete type is either an integer type or an
enumeration type.  Discrete types may be used, for example, in
case_statements and as array indices.

15/2
Discriminant.  A discriminant is a parameter for a composite type.  It
can control, for example, the bounds of a component of the type if the
component is an array.  A discriminant for a task type can be used to
pass data to a task of the type upon creation.

15.1/2
Elaboration.  The process by which a declaration achieves its run-time
effect is called elaboration.  Elaboration is one of the forms of
execution.

16
Elementary type.  An elementary type does not have components.

17
Enumeration type.  An enumeration type is defined by an enumeration of
its values, which may be named by identifiers or character literals.

17.1/2
Evaluation.  The process by which an expression achieves its run-time
effect is called evaluation.  Evaluation is one of the forms of
execution.

18
Exception.  An <exception> represents a kind of exceptional situation;
an occurrence of such a situation (at run time) is called an <exception
occurrence>.  To <raise> an exception is to abandon normal program
execution so as to draw attention to the fact that the corresponding
situation has arisen.  Performing some actions in response to the
arising of an exception is called <handling> the exception.

19
Execution.  The process by which a construct achieves its run-time
effect is called <execution>.  Execution of a declaration is also called
<elaboration>.  Execution of an expression is also called <evaluation>.

19.1/2
Function.  A function is a form of subprogram that returns a result and
can be called as part of an expression.

20
Generic unit.  A generic unit is a template for a (nongeneric) program
unit; the template can be parameterized by objects, types, subprograms,
and packages.  An instance of a generic unit is created by a
generic_instantiation.  The rules of the language are enforced when a
generic unit is compiled, using a generic contract model; additional
checks are performed upon instantiation to verify the contract is met.
That is, the declaration of a generic unit represents a contract between
the body of the generic and instances of the generic.  Generic units can
be used to perform the role that macros sometimes play in other
languages.

20.1/2
Incomplete type.  An incomplete type gives a view of a type that reveals
only some of its properties.  The remaining properties are provided by
the full view given elsewhere.  Incomplete types can be used for
defining recursive data structures.

20.2/3
Indexable container type.  An indexable container type is one that has
user-defined behavior for indexing, via the Constant_Indexing or
Variable_Indexing aspects.

21
Integer type.  Integer types comprise the signed integer types and the
modular types.  A signed integer type has a base range that includes
both positive and negative numbers, and has operations that may raise an
exception when the result is outside the base range.  A modular type has
a base range whose lower bound is zero, and has operations with
"wraparound" semantics.  Modular types subsume what are called "unsigned
types" in some other languages.

21.1/2
Interface type.  An interface type is a form of abstract tagged type
which has no components or concrete operations except possibly null
procedures.  Interface types are used for composing other interfaces and
tagged types and thereby provide multiple inheritance.  Only an
interface type can be used as a progenitor of another type.

21.2/4
Invariant.  An invariant is an assertion that is expected to be True for
all objects of a given private type when viewed from outside the
defining package.

21.3/3
Iterable container type.  An iterable container type is one that has
user-defined behavior for iteration, via the Default_Iterator and
Iterator_Element aspects.

21.4/3
Iterator.  An iterator is a construct that is used to loop over the
elements of an array or container.  Iterators may be user defined, and
may perform arbitrary computations to access elements from a container.

22
Library unit.  A library unit is a separately compiled program unit, and
is always a package, subprogram, or generic unit.  Library units may
have other (logically nested) library units as children, and may have
other program units physically nested within them.  A root library unit,
together with its children and grandchildren and so on, form a
<subsystem>.

23/2
Limited type.  A limited type is a type for which copying (such as in an
assignment_statement) is not allowed.  A nonlimited type is a type for
which copying is allowed.

24
Object.  An object is either a constant or a variable.  An object
contains a value.  An object is created by an object_declaration or by
an allocator.  A formal parameter is (a view of) an object.  A
subcomponent of an object is an object.

24.1/2
Overriding operation.  An overriding operation is one that replaces an
inherited primitive operation.  Operations may be marked explicitly as
overriding or not overriding.

25
Package.  Packages are program units that allow the specification of
groups of logically related entities.  Typically, a package contains the
declaration of a type (often a private type or private extension) along
with the declarations of primitive subprograms of the type, which can be
called from outside the package, while their inner workings remain
hidden from outside users.

25.1/2
Parent.  The parent of a derived type is the first type given in the
definition of the derived type.  The parent can be almost any kind of
type, including an interface type.

26
Partition.  A <partition> is a part of a program.  Each partition
consists of a set of library units.  Each partition may run in a
separate address space, possibly on a separate computer.  A program may
contain just one partition.  A distributed program typically contains
multiple partitions, which can execute concurrently.

26.1/3
Postcondition.  A postcondition is an assertion that is expected to be
True when a given subprogram returns normally.

27
Pragma.  A pragma is a compiler directive.  There are language-defined
pragmas that give instructions for optimization, listing control, etc.
An implementation may support additional (implementation-defined)
pragmas.

27.1/3
Precondition.  A precondition is an assertion that is expected to be
True when a given subprogram is called.

27.2/3
Predicate.  A predicate is an assertion that is expected to be True for
all objects of a given subtype.

28
Primitive operations.  The primitive operations of a type are the
operations (such as subprograms) declared together with the type
declaration.  They are inherited by other types in the same class of
types.  For a tagged type, the primitive subprograms are dispatching
subprograms, providing run-time polymorphism.  A dispatching subprogram
may be called with statically tagged operands, in which case the
subprogram body invoked is determined at compile time.  Alternatively, a
dispatching subprogram may be called using a dispatching call, in which
case the subprogram body invoked is determined at run time.

29/2
Private extension.  A private extension is a type that extends another
type, with the additional properties hidden from its clients.

30/2
Private type.  A private type gives a view of a type that reveals only
some of its properties.  The remaining properties are provided by the
full view given elsewhere.  Private types can be used for defining
abstractions that hide unnecessary details from their clients.

30.1/2
Procedure.  A procedure is a form of subprogram that does not return a
result and can only be called by a statement.

30.2/2
Progenitor.  A progenitor of a derived type is one of the types given in
the definition of the derived type other than the first.  A progenitor
is always an interface type.  Interfaces, tasks, and protected types may
also have progenitors.

31
Program.  A <program> is a set of <partitions>, each of which may
execute in a separate address space, possibly on a separate computer.  A
partition consists of a set of library units.

32
Program unit.  A <program unit> is either a package, a task unit, a
protected unit, a protected entry, a generic unit, or an explicitly
declared subprogram other than an enumeration literal.  Certain kinds of
program units can be separately compiled.  Alternatively, they can
appear physically nested within other program units.

33/2
Protected type.  A protected type is a composite type whose components
are accessible only through one of its protected operations which
synchronize concurrent access by multiple tasks.

34
Real type.  A real type has values that are approximations of the real
numbers.  Floating point and fixed point types are real types.

35
Record extension.  A record extension is a type that extends another
type by adding additional components.

36
Record type.  A record type is a composite type consisting of zero or
more named components, possibly of different types.

36.1/3
Reference type.  A reference type is one that has user-defined behavior
for ".all", defined by the Implicit_Dereference aspect.

36.2/2
Renaming.  A renaming_declaration is a declaration that does not define
a new entity, but instead defines a view of an existing entity.

37
Scalar type.  A scalar type is either a discrete type or a real type.

37.1/3
Storage pool.  Each access-to-object type has an associated storage pool
object.  The storage for an object created by an allocator comes from
the storage pool of the type of the allocator.  Some storage pools may
be partitioned into subpools in order to support finer-grained storage
management.

37.2/3
Stream.  A stream is a sequence of elements that can be used, along with
the stream-oriented attributes, to support marshalling and unmarshalling
of values of most types.

37.3/2
Subprogram.  A subprogram is a section of a program that can be executed
in various contexts.  It is invoked by a subprogram call that may
qualify the effect of the subprogram through the passing of parameters.
There are two forms of subprograms: functions, which return values, and
procedures, which do not.

38/3
Subtype.  A subtype is a type together with optional constraints, null
exclusions, and predicates, which constrain the values of the subtype to
satisfy certain conditions.  The values of a subtype are a subset of the
values of its type.

38.1/2
Synchronized.  A synchronized entity is one that will work safely with
multiple tasks at one time.  A synchronized interface can be an ancestor
of a task or a protected type.  Such a task or protected type is called
a synchronized tagged type.

39
Tagged type.  The objects of a tagged type have a run-time type tag,
which indicates the specific type with which the object was originally
created.  An operand of a class-wide tagged type can be used in a
dispatching call; the tag indicates which subprogram body to invoke.
Nondispatching calls, in which the subprogram body to invoke is
determined at compile time, are also allowed.  Tagged types may be
extended with additional components.

40/2
Task type.  A task type is a composite type used to represent active
entities which execute concurrently and which can communicate via queued
task entries.  The top-level task of a partition is called the
environment task.

41/2
Type.  Each object has a type.  A <type> has an associated set of
values, and a set of <primitive operations> which implement the
fundamental aspects of its semantics.  Types are grouped into
<categories>.  Most language-defined categories of types are also
<classes> of types.

41.1/4
Type Invariant.  See Invariant.

42/2
View.  A view of an entity reveals some or all of the properties of the
entity.  A single entity may have multiple views.

Q.5 Language-Defined Objects
============================

1/3
{<AI95-00440-01AI95-00440-01>} {<AI05-0299-1AI05-0299-1>} This subclause
lists all language-defined constants, variables, named numbers, and
enumeration literals.

1.a/2
          To be honest: Formally, named numbers and enumeration literals
          aren't objects, but it was thought to be too weird to say
          "Language-Defined Objects and Values".
