   --  freeze node of E.

   procedure Add_Global_Declaration (N : Node_Id);
   --  These procedures adds a declaration N at the library level, to be
   --  elaborated before any other code in the unit. It is used for example
   --  for the entity that marks whether a unit has been elaborated. The
   --  declaration is added to the Declarations list of the Aux_Decls_Node
   --  for the current unit. The declarations are added in the current scope,

   --  N is a subexpression which will raise constraint error when evaluated
   --  at runtime. Msg is a message that explains the reason for raising the

   --  even in Ada 95, and is not a ? if the message represents an illegality
   --  (because of violation of static expression rules) in Ada 95 (but not
   --  in Ada 83). Typically this routine posts all messages at the Sloc of
   --  node N. However, if Loc /= No_Location, Loc is the Sloc used to output
   --  the message. After posting the appropriate message, and if the flag
   --  Rep is set, this routine replaces the expression with an appropriate
   --  N_Raise_Constraint_Error node using the given Reason code. This node
   --  is then marked as being static if the original node is static, but
   --  sets the flag Raises_Constraint_Error, preventing further evaluation.
   --  The error message may contain a } or & insertion character. This
   --  normally references Etype (N), unless the Ent argument is given
   --  explicitly, in which case it is used instead. The type of the raise
   --  node that is built is normally Etype (N), but if the Typ parameter
   --  is present, this is used instead. Warn is normally False. If it is

   function Is_Fully_Initialized_Type (Typ : Entity_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Typ is a type entity. This function returns true if this type is
   --  fully initialized, meaning that an object of the type is fully
   --  initialized. Note that initialization resulting from the use of

   function Is_Partially_Initialized_Type (Typ : Entity_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Typ is a type entity. This function returns true if this type is
   --  partly initialized, meaning that an object of the type is at least

   --  not count.

   function Is_Potentially_Persistent_Type (T : Entity_Id) return Boolean;

   --  Return True if Proc_Nam is a procedure renaming of an entry

   function Is_Selector_Name (N : Node_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Given an N_Identifier node N, determines if it is a Selector_Name.
   --  As described in Sinfo, Selector_Names are special because they

   function Is_Value_Type (T : Entity_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Returns true if type T represents a value type. This is only relevant to
   --  CIL, will always return false for other targets.

   --  defined here ???

   function Is_Variable (N : Node_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Determines if the tree referenced by N represents a variable, i.e.
   --  can appear on the left side of an assignment. There is one situation,
   --  namely formal parameters, in which non-tagged type conversions are
   --  also considered variables, but Is_Variable returns False for such
   --  cases, since it has no knowledge of the context. Note that this is
   --  the point at which Assignment_OK is checked, and True is returned
   --  for any tree thus marked.

   function Is_Volatile_Object (N : Node_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Determines if the given node denotes an volatile object in the sense
   --  of the legality checks described in RM C.6(12). Note that the test

   --  scope that is not a block or a package). This is used when the
   --  sequential flow-of-control assumption is violated (occurrence of a
   --  label, head of a loop, or start of an exception handler). The effect of
   --  the call is to clear the Constant_Value field (but we do not need to
   --  clear the Is_True_Constant flag, since that only gets reset if there
   --  really is an assignment somewhere in the entity scope). This procedure
   --  also calls Kill_All_Checks, since this is a special case of needing to
   --  forget saved values. This procedure also clears Is_Known_Non_Null flags
   --  in variables, constants or parameters since these are also not known to
   --  be valid.
   --
   --  The Last_Assignment_Only flag is set True to clear only Last_Assignment
   --  fields and leave other fields unchanged. This is used when we encounter
   --  an unconditional flow of control change (return, goto, raise). In such
   --  cases we don't need to clear the current values, since it may be that
   --  the flow of control change occurs in a conditional context, and if it
   --  is not taken, then it is just fine to keep the current values. But the
   --  Last_Assignment field is different, if we have a sequence assign-to-v,
   --  conditional-return, assign-to-v, we do not want to complain that the
   --  second assignment clobbers the first.

   procedure Kill_Current_Values

   function May_Be_Lvalue (N : Node_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Determines if N could be an lvalue (e.g. an assignment left hand side).
   --  An lvalue is defined as any expression which appears in a context where
   --  a name is required by the syntax, and the identity, rather than merely
   --  the value of the node is needed (for example, the prefix of an Access

   --  test is conservative. If it cannot be sure that N is NOT an lvalue, then
   --  it returns True. It tries hard to get the answer right, but it is hard

   --  It is True if the types are known to be the same, but a result of
   --  False is indecisive (e.g. the compiler may not be able to tell that
   --  two constraints are identical).

   function Same_Value (Node1, Node2 : Node_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Determines if Node1 and Node2 are known to be the same value, which is
   --  true if they are both compile time known values and have the same value,
   --  or if they are the same object (in the sense of function Same_Object).
   --  A result of False does not necessarily mean they have different values,
   --  just that it is not possible to determine they have the same value.

   function Scope_Within_Or_Same (Scope1, Scope2 : Entity_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Determines if the entity Scope1 is the same as Scope2, or if it is
   --  inside it, where both entities represent scopes. Note that scopes
   --  are only partially ordered, so Scope_Within_Or_Same (A,B) and
   --  Scope_Within_Or_Same (B,A) can both be False for a given pair A,B.

   function Scope_Within (Scope1, Scope2 : Entity_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Like Scope_Within_Or_Same, except that this function returns
   --  False in the case where Scope1 and Scope2 are the same scope.

   procedure Set_Convention (E : Entity_Id; Val : Convention_Id);
   --  Same as Basic_Set_Convention, but with an extra check for access types.
   --  In particular, if E is an access-to-subprogram type, and Val is a
   --  foreign convention, then we set Can_Use_Internal_Rep to False on E.

   procedure Set_Current_Entity (E : Entity_Id);
   --  Establish the entity E as the currently visible definition of its
   --  associated name (i.e. the Node_Id associated with its name)

   procedure Set_Debug_Info_Needed (T : Entity_Id);
   --  Sets the Debug_Info_Needed flag on entity T , and also on any entities
   --  that are needed by T (for an object, the type of the object is needed,
   --  and for a type, various subsidiary types are needed -- see body for
   --  details). Never has any effect on T if the Debug_Info_Off flag is set.
   --  This routine should always be used instead of Set_Needs_Debug_Info to
   --  ensure that subsidiary entities are properly handled.

   procedure Set_Entity_With_Style_Check (N : Node_Id; Val : Entity_Id);
   --  This procedure has the same calling sequence as Set_Entity, but
   --  if Style_Check is set, then it calls a style checking routine which
   --  can check identifier spelling style.

   procedure Set_Name_Entity_Id (Id : Name_Id; Val : Entity_Id);
   --  Sets the Entity_Id value associated with the given name, which is the
   --  Id of the innermost visible entity with the given name. See the body
   --  of package Sem_Ch8 for further details on the handling of visibility.

   procedure Set_Next_Actual (Ass1_Id : Node_Id; Ass2_Id : Node_Id);
   --  The arguments may be parameter associations, whose descendants
   --  are the optional formal name and the actual parameter. Positional
   --  parameters are already members of a list, and do not need to be
   --  chained separately. See also First_Actual and Next_Actual.

   procedure Set_Optimize_Alignment_Flags (E : Entity_Id);
   pragma Inline (Set_Optimize_Alignment_Flags);
   --  Sets Optimize_Alignment_Space/Time flags in E from current settings

   procedure Set_Public_Status (Id : Entity_Id);
   --  If an entity (visible or otherwise) is defined in a library
   --  package, or a package that is itself public, then this subprogram
   --  labels the entity public as well.

   procedure Set_Referenced_Modified (N : Node_Id; Out_Param : Boolean);
   --  N is the node for either a left hand side (Out_Param set to False),
   --  or an Out or In_Out parameter (Out_Param set to True). If there is
   --  an assignable entity being referenced, then the appropriate flag
   --  (Referenced_As_LHS if Out_Param is False, Referenced_As_Out_Parameter
   --  if Out_Param is True) is set True, and the other flag set False.

   procedure Set_Scope_Is_Transient (V : Boolean := True);
   --  Set the flag Is_Transient of the current scope

   procedure Set_Size_Info (T1, T2 : Entity_Id);
   --  Copies the Esize field and Has_Biased_Representation flag from sub(type)
   --  entity T2 to (sub)type entity T1. Also copies the Is_Unsigned_Type flag
   --  in the fixed-point and discrete cases, and also copies the alignment
   --  value from T2 to T1. It does NOT copy the RM_Size field, which must be
   --  separately set if this is required to be copied also.

   function Scope_Is_Transient return Boolean;
   --  True if the current scope is transient

   function Static_Integer (N : Node_Id) return Uint;
   --  This function analyzes the given expression node and then resolves it
   --  as any integer type. If the result is static, then the value of the
   --  universal expression is returned, otherwise an error message is output
   --  and a value of No_Uint is returned.

   function Statically_Different (E1, E2 : Node_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Return True if it can be statically determined that the Expressions
   --  E1 and E2 refer to different objects

   function Subprogram_Access_Level (Subp : Entity_Id) return Uint;
   --  Return the accessibility level of the view denoted by Subp

   procedure Trace_Scope (N : Node_Id; E : Entity_Id; Msg : String);
   --  Print debugging information on entry to each unit being analyzed

   procedure Transfer_Entities (From : Entity_Id; To : Entity_Id);
   --  Move a list of entities from one scope to another, and recompute
   --  Is_Public based upon the new scope.

   function Type_Access_Level (Typ : Entity_Id) return Uint;
   --  Return the accessibility level of Typ

   function Ultimate_Alias (Prim : Entity_Id) return Entity_Id;
   --  Return the last entity in the chain of aliased entities of Prim.
   --  If Prim has no alias return Prim.

   function Unit_Declaration_Node (Unit_Id : Entity_Id) return Node_Id;
   --  Unit_Id is the simple name of a program unit, this function returns the
   --  corresponding xxx_Declaration node for the entity. Also applies to the
   --  body entities for subprograms, tasks and protected units, in which case
   --  it returns the subprogram, task or protected body node for it. The unit
   --  may be a child unit with any number of ancestors.

   function Universal_Interpretation (Opnd : Node_Id) return Entity_Id;
   --  Yields universal_Integer or Universal_Real if this is a candidate

   function Unqualify (Expr : Node_Id) return Node_Id;
   --  Removes any qualifications from Expr. For example, for T1'(T2'(X)),
   --  this returns X. If Expr is not a qualified expression, returns Expr.

   function Within_Init_Proc return Boolean;
   --  Determines if Current_Scope is within an init proc

   procedure Wrong_Type (Expr : Node_Id; Expected_Type : Entity_Id);
   --  Output error message for incorrectly typed expression. Expr is the
   --  node for the incorrectly typed construct (Etype (Expr) is the type
   --  found), and Expected_Type is the entity for the expected type. Note
   --  that Expr does not have to be a subexpression, anything with an
   --  Etype field may be used.
