+
+-- This package provides an interface for raising predefined exceptions
+-- with an exception message. It can be used from Pure units.
+
+-- There is no prohibition in Ada that prevents exceptions being raised
+-- from within pure units. The raise statement is perfectly acceptable.
+
+-- However, it is not normally possible to raise an exception with a
+-- message because the routine Ada.Exceptions.Raise_Exception is not in
+-- a Pure unit. This is an annoying and unnecessary restrictiona and this
+-- package allows for raising the standard predefined exceptions at least.
+
+package GNAT.Exceptions is
+ pragma Pure;
+
+ type Exception_Type is limited null record;
+ -- Type used to specify which exception to raise
+
+ -- Really Exception_Type is Exception_Id, but Exception_Id can't be
+ -- used directly since it is declared in the non-pure unit Ada.Exceptions,
+
+ -- Exception_Id is in fact simply a pointer to the type Exception_Data
+ -- declared in System.Standard_Library (which is also non-pure). So what
+ -- we do is to define it here as a by reference type (any by reference
+ -- type would do), and then Import the definitions from Standard_Library.
+ -- Since this is a by reference type, these will be passed by reference,
+ -- which has the same effect as passing a pointer.
+
+ -- This type is not private because keeping it by reference would require
+ -- defining it in a way (e.g a tagged type) that would drag other run time
+ -- files, which is unwanted in the case of e.g ravenscar where we want to
+ -- minimize the number of run time files needed by default.
