-
--- This package implements a light expansion which is used in formal
--- verification mode (Alfa_Mode = True). Instead of a complete expansion
--- of nodes for code generation, this Alfa expansion targets generation
--- of intermediate code for formal verification.
-
--- Expand_Alfa is called directly by Expander.Expand.
-
--- Alfa expansion has three main objectives:
-
--- 1. Perform limited expansion to explicit some Ada rules and constructs
--- (translate 'Old and 'Result, replace renamings by renamed, insert
--- conversions, expand actuals in calls to introduce temporaries, expand
--- generics instantiations)
-
--- 2. Facilitate treatment for the formal verification back-end (fully
--- qualify names, expand set membership, compute data dependences)
-
--- 3. Avoid the introduction of low-level code that is difficult to analyze
--- formally, as typically done in the full expansion for high-level
--- constructs (tasking, dispatching)
-
--- To fulfill objective 1, Expand_Alfa selectively expands some constructs.
-
--- To fulfill objective 2, the tree after Alfa expansion should be fully
--- analyzed semantically. In particular, all expression must have their proper
--- type, and semantic links should be set between tree nodes (partial to full
--- view, etc.) Some kinds of nodes should be either absent, or can be ignored
--- by the formal verification backend:
-
--- N_Object_Renaming_Declaration: can be ignored safely
--- N_Expression_Function: absent (rewitten)
--- N_Expression_With_Actions: absent (not generated)
-
--- Alfa cross-references are generated from the regular cross-references (used
--- for browsing and code understanding) and additional references collected
--- during semantic analysis, in particular on all dereferences. These Alfa
--- cross-references are output in a separate section of ALI files, as
--- described in alfa.adb. They are the basis for the computation of data
--- dependences in the formal verification backend. This implies that all
--- cross-references should be generated in this mode, even those that would
--- not make sense from a user point-of-view, and that cross-references that do
--- not lead to data dependences for subprograms can be safely ignored.
-
--- To support the formal verification of units parameterized by data, the
--- value of deferred constants should not be considered as a compile-time
--- constant at program locations where the full view is not visible.
-
--- To fulfill objective 3, Expand_Alfa does not expand features that are not
--- formally analyzed (tasking), or for which formal analysis relies on the
--- source level representation (dispatching, aspects, pragmas). However, these
--- should be semantically analyzed, which sometimes requires the insertion of
--- semantic pre-analysis, for example for subprogram contracts and pragma
--- check/assert.
