- --------------------
- -- Implicit Types --
- --------------------
-
- -- Implicit types (Itypes) are types and subtypes created by the semantic
- -- phase or the expander to reflect the underlying semantics. These could
- -- be generated by building trees for corresponding declarations and then
- -- analyzing these trees, but there are three reasons for not doing this
- -- in some cases:
-
- -- 1. The declarations would require more tree nodes
-
- -- 2. In some cases, the elaboration of these types is associated
- -- with internal nodes in the tree.
-
- -- 3. For some types, notably class wide types, there is no Ada
- -- declaration that would correspond to the desired entity.
-
- -- So instead, implicit types are constructed by simply creating an
- -- appropriate entity with the help of routines in this package. These
- -- entities are fully decorated, as described in Einfo (just as though
- -- they had been created by the normal analysis procedure).
-
- -- The type declaration declaring an Itype must be analyzed with checks
- -- off because this declaration has not been inserted in the tree (if it
- -- has been then it is not an Itype), and hence checks that would be
- -- generated during the analysis cannot be inserted in the tree. At any
- -- rate, Itype analysis should always be done with checks off, otherwise
- -- duplicate checks will most likely be emitted.
-
- -- Unlike types declared explicitly, implicit types are defined on first
- -- use, which means that Gigi detects the use of such types, and defines
- -- them at the point of the first use automatically.
-
- -- Although Itypes are not explicitly declared, they are associated with
- -- a specific node in the tree (roughly the node that caused them to be
- -- created), via the Associated_Node_For_Itype field. This association is
- -- used particularly by New_Copy_Tree, which uses it to determine whether
- -- or not to copy a referenced Itype. If the associated node is part of
- -- the tree to be copied by New_Copy_Tree, then (since the idea of the
- -- call to New_Copy_Tree is to create a complete duplicate of a tree,
- -- as though it had appeared separately in the source), the Itype in
- -- question is duplicated as part of the New_Copy_Tree processing.
-
- -- As a consequence of this copying mechanism, the association between
- -- Itypes and associated nodes must be one-to-one: several Itypes must
- -- not share an associated node. For example, the semantic decoration
- -- of an array aggregate generates several Itypes: for each index subtype
- -- and for the array subtype. The associated node of each index subtype
- -- is the corresponding range expression.
-
- -- Notes on the use of the Parent field of an Itype
-
- -- In some cases, we do create a declaration node for an itype, and in
- -- such cases, the Parent field of the Itype points to this declaration
- -- in the normal manner. This case can be detected by checking for a
- -- non-empty Parent field referencing a declaration whose Defining_Entity
- -- is the Itype in question.
-
- -- In some other cases, where we don't generate such a declaration, as
- -- described above, the Itype is attached to the tree implicitly by being
- -- referenced elsewhere, e.g. as the Etype of some object. In this case
- -- the Parent field may be Empty.
-
- -- In other cases where we don't generate a declaration for the Itype,
- -- the Itype may be attached to an arbitrary node in the tree, using
- -- the Parent field. This Parent field may even reference a declaration
- -- for a related different entity (hence the description of the tests
- -- needed for the case where a declaration for the Itype is created).

- -- Create_Itype --
- ------------------
-
- function Create_Itype
- (Ekind : Entity_Kind;
- Related_Nod : Node_Id;
- Related_Id : Entity_Id := Empty;
- Suffix : Character := ' ';
- Suffix_Index : Nat := 0;
- Scope_Id : Entity_Id := Current_Scope) return Entity_Id;
- -- Used to create a new Itype
- --
- -- Related_Nod is the node for which this Itype was created. It is
- -- set as the Associated_Node_For_Itype of the new Itype. The Sloc of
- -- the new Itype is that of this node.
- --
- -- Related_Id is present only if the implicit type name may be referenced
- -- as a public symbol, and thus needs a unique external name. The name
- -- is created by a call to:
- --
- -- New_External_Name (Chars (Related_Id), Suffix, Suffix_Index, 'T')
- --
- -- If the implicit type does not need an external name, then the
- -- Related_Id parameter is omitted (and hence Empty). In this case
- -- Suffix and Suffix_Index are ignored and the implicit type name is
- -- created by a call to New_Internal_Name ('T').
- --
- -- Note that in all cases, the name starts with "T". This is used
- -- to identify implicit types in the error message handling circuits.
- --
- -- The Scope_Id parameter specifies the scope of the created type, and
- -- is normally the Current_Scope as shown, but can be set otherwise.
- --
- -- The size/align fields are initialized to unknown (Uint_0).
- --
- -- If Ekind is in Access_Subprogram_Kind, Can_Use_Internal_Rep is set True,
- -- unless Always_Compatible_Rep_On_Target is True.

- (T : Entity_Id;
- Related_Nod : Node_Id;
- Scope_Id : Entity_Id := Current_Scope) return Entity_Id;
- -- Ada 2005 (AI-231): T is an access type and this subprogram creates and
- -- returns an internal access-subtype declaration of T that has the null
- -- exclusion attribute set to True.
- --
- -- Usage of null-excluding Itypes
- -- ------------------------------
- --
- -- type T1 is access ...
- -- type T2 is not null T1;
- --
- -- type Rec is record
- -- Comp : not null T1;
- -- end record;
- --
- -- type Arr is array (...) of not null T1;
- --
- -- Instead of associating the not-null attribute with the defining ids of
- -- these declarations, we generate an internal subtype declaration of T1
- -- that has the null exclusion attribute set to true.
