--  This package defines the aspects that are recognized by GNAT in aspect
--  specifications. It also contains the subprograms for storing/retrieving
--  aspect specifications from the tree. The semantic processing for aspect
--  specifications is found in Sem_Ch13.Analyze_Aspect_Specifications.

------------------------
-- Adding New Aspects --
------------------------

--  In general, each aspect should have a corresponding pragma, so that the
--  newly developed functionality is available for Ada versions < Ada 2012.
--  When both are defined, it is convenient to first transform the aspect into
--  an equivalent pragma in Sem_Ch13.Analyze_Aspect_Specifications, and then
--  analyze the pragma in Sem_Prag.Analyze_Pragma.

--  To add a new aspect, you need to do the following

--    1. Create a name in snames.ads-tmpl

--    2. Create a value in type Aspect_Id in this unit

--    3. Add a value for the aspect in the global arrays defined in this unit

--    4. Add code for the aspect in Sem_Ch13.Analyze_Aspect_Specifications.
--       This may involve adding some nodes to the tree to perform additional
--       treatments later.

--    5. If the semantic analysis of expressions/names in the aspect should not
--       occur at the point the aspect is defined, add code in the adequate
--       semantic analysis procedure for the aspect. For example, this is the
--       case for aspects Pre and Post on subprograms, which are pre-analyzed
--       at the end of the declaration list to which the subprogram belongs,
--       and fully analyzed (possibly with expansion) during the semantic
--       analysis of subprogram bodies.

   -- Delaying Evaluation of Aspects --
   ------------------------------------

   --  The RM requires that all language defined aspects taking an expression
   --  delay evaluation of the expression till the freeze point of the entity
   --  to which the aspect applies. This allows forward references, and is of
   --  use for example in connection with preconditions and postconditions
   --  where the requirement of making all references in contracts to local
   --  functions be backwards references would be onerous.

   --  For consistency, even attributes like Size are delayed, so we can do:

   --    type A is range 1 .. 10
   --      with Size => Not_Defined_Yet;
   --    ..
   --    Not_Defined_Yet : constant := 64;

   --  Resulting in A having a size of 64, which gets set when A is frozen.
   --  Furthermore, we can have a situation like

   --    type A is range 1 .. 10
   --      with Size => Not_Defined_Yet;
   --    ..
   --    type B is new A;
   --    ..
   --    Not_Defined_Yet : constant := 64;

   --  where the Size of A is considered to have been previously specified at
   --  the point of derivation, even though the actual value of the size is
   --  not known yet, and in this example B inherits the size value of 64.

   --  Our normal implementation model (prior to Ada 2012) was simply to copy
   --  inheritable attributes at the point of derivation. Then any subsequent
   --  representation items apply either to the parent type, not affecting the
   --  derived type, or to the derived type, not affecting the parent type.

   --  To deal with the delayed aspect case, we use two flags. The first is
   --  set on the parent type if it has delayed representation aspects. This
   --  flag Has_Delayed_Rep_Aspects indicates that if we derive from this type
   --  we have to worry about making sure we inherit any delayed aspects. The
   --  second flag is set on a derived type: May_Have_Inherited_Rep_Aspects
   --  is set if the parent type has Has_Delayed_Rep_Aspects set.

   --  When we freeze a derived type, if the May_Have_Inherited_Rep_Aspects
   --  flag is set, then we call Freeze.Inherit_Delayed_Rep_Aspects when
   --  the derived type is frozen, which deals with the necessary copying of
   --  information from the parent type, which must be frozen at that point
   --  (since freezing the derived type first freezes the parent type).

   --  The following shows which aspects are delayed. There are three cases:

   type Delay_Type is
     (Always_Delay,
      --  This aspect is not a representation aspect that can be inherited and
      --  is always delayed, as required by the language definition.

      Never_Delay,
      --  There are two cases. There are language defined aspects like
      --  Convention where the "expression" is simply an uninterpreted
      --  identifier, and there is no issue of evaluating it and thus no
      --  issue of delaying the evaluation. The second case is implementation
      --  defined aspects where we have decided that we don't want to allow
      --  delays (and for our own aspects we can do what we like).

      Rep_Aspect);
      --  These are the cases of representation aspects that are in general
      --  delayed, and where there is a potential issue of derived types that
      --  inherit delayed representation values.

   --  Note: even if this table indicates that an aspect is delayed, we never
   --  delay Boolean aspects that have a missing expression (taken as True),
   --  or expressions for delayed rep items that consist of an integer literal
   --  (most cases of Size etc. in practice), since in these cases we know we
   --  can get the value of the expression without delay. Note that we still
   --  need to delay Boolean aspects that are specifically set to True:

   --     type R is array (0 .. 31) of Boolean
   --       with Pack => True;
   --     True : constant Boolean := False;

   --  This is nonsense, but we need to make it work and result in R not
   --  being packed, and if we have something like:

   --     type R is array (0 .. 31) of Boolean
   --       with Pack => True;
   --     RR : R;
   --     True : constant Boolean := False;

   --  This is illegal because the visibility of True changes after the freeze
   --  point, which is not allowed, and we need the delay mechanism to properly
   --  diagnose this error.

   -- Handling of Aspect Specifications on Stubs --
   ------------------------------------------------

   --  Aspects that appear on the following stub nodes

   --    N_Package_Body_Stub
   --    N_Protected_Body_Stub
   --    N_Subprogram_Body_Stub
   --    N_Task_Body_Stub

   --  are treated as if they apply to the corresponding proper body. Their
   --  analysis is postponed until the analysis of the proper body takes place
   --  (see Analyze_Proper_Body). The delay is required because the analysis
   --  may generate extra code which would be harder to relocate to the body.
   --  If the proper body is present, the aspect specifications are relocated
   --  to the corresponding body node:

   --    N_Package_Body
   --    N_Protected_Body
   --    N_Subprogram_Body
   --    N_Task_Body

   --  The subsequent analysis takes care of the aspect-to-pragma conversions
   --  and verification of pragma legality. In the case where the proper body
   --  is not available, the aspect specifications are analyzed on the spot
   --  (see Analyze_Proper_Body) to catch potential errors.

   --  The following table lists all aspects that can apply to a subprogram
   --  body [stub]. For instance, the following example is legal:

   --    package P with SPARK_Mode ...;
   --    package body P with SPARK_Mode is ...;

   --  The table should be synchronized with Pragma_On_Body_Or_Stub_OK in unit
   --  Sem_Prag if the aspects below are implemented by a pragma.

   Aspect_On_Body_Or_Stub_OK : constant array (Aspect_Id) of Boolean :=
     (Aspect_Refined_Depends              => True,
      Aspect_Refined_Global               => True,
      Aspect_Refined_Post                 => True,
      Aspect_SPARK_Mode                   => True,
      Aspect_Warnings                     => True,
      others                              => False);

   -- Handling of Aspect Specifications in the Tree --
   ---------------------------------------------------

   --  Several kinds of declaration node permit aspect specifications in Ada
   --  2012 mode. If there was room in all the corresponding declaration nodes,
   --  we could just have a field Aspect_Specifications pointing to a list of
   --  nodes for the aspects (N_Aspect_Specification nodes). But there isn't
   --  room, so we adopt a different approach.

   --  The following subprograms provide access to a specialized interface
   --  implemented internally with a hash table in the body, that provides
   --  access to aspect specifications.

   function Aspect_Specifications (N : Node_Id) return List_Id;
   --  Given a node N, returns the list of N_Aspect_Specification nodes that
   --  are attached to this declaration node. If the node is in the class of
   --  declaration nodes that permit aspect specifications, as defined by the
   --  predicate above, and if their Has_Aspects flag is set to True, then this
   --  will always be a non-empty list. If this flag is set to False, then
   --  No_List is returned. Normally, the only nodes that have Has_Aspects set
   --  True are the nodes for which Permits_Aspect_Specifications would return
   --  True (i.e. the declaration nodes defined in the RM as permitting the
   --  presence of Aspect_Specifications). However, it is possible for the
   --  flag Has_Aspects to be set on other nodes as a result of Rewrite and
   --  Replace calls, and this function may be used to retrieve the aspect
   --  specifications for the original rewritten node in such cases.

   function Aspects_On_Body_Or_Stub_OK (N : Node_Id) return Boolean;
   --  N denotes a body [stub] with aspects. Determine whether all aspects of N
   --  are allowed to appear on a body [stub].

   procedure Exchange_Aspects (N1 : Node_Id; N2 : Node_Id);
   --  Exchange the aspect specifications of two nodes. If either node lacks an
   --  aspect specification list, the routine has no effect. It is assumed that
   --  both nodes can support aspects.

   function Find_Aspect (Id : Entity_Id; A : Aspect_Id) return Node_Id;
   --  Find the aspect specification of aspect A associated with entity I.
   --  Return Empty if Id does not have the requested aspect.

   function Find_Value_Of_Aspect
     (Id : Entity_Id;
      A  : Aspect_Id) return Node_Id;
   --  Find the value of aspect A associated with entity Id. Return Empty if
   --  Id does not have the requested aspect.

   function Has_Aspect (Id : Entity_Id; A : Aspect_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Determine whether entity Id has aspect A

   procedure Move_Aspects (From : Node_Id; To : Node_Id);
   --  Relocate the aspect specifications of node From to node To. On entry it
   --  is assumed that To does not have aspect specifications. If From has no
   --  aspects, the routine has no effect.

   procedure Move_Or_Merge_Aspects (From : Node_Id; To : Node_Id);
   --  Relocate the aspect specifications of node From to node To. If To has
   --  aspects, the aspects of From are added to the aspects of To. If From has
   --  no aspects, the routine has no effect. When From denotes a subprogram
   --  body stub that also acts as a spec, the only aspects relocated to node
   --  To are those from table Aspect_On_Body_Or_Stub_OK and preconditions.

   function Permits_Aspect_Specifications (N : Node_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Returns True if the node N is a declaration node that permits aspect
   --  specifications in the grammar. It is possible for other nodes to have
   --  aspect specifications as a result of Rewrite or Replace calls.

   procedure Remove_Aspects (N : Node_Id);
   --  Delete the aspect specifications associated with node N. If the node has
   --  no aspects, the routine has no effect.

   function Same_Aspect (A1 : Aspect_Id; A2 : Aspect_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Returns True if A1 and A2 are (essentially) the same aspect. This is not
   --  a simple equality test because e.g. Post and Postcondition are the same.
   --  This is used for detecting duplicate aspects.

   procedure Set_Aspect_Specifications (N : Node_Id; L : List_Id);
   --  The node N must be in the class of declaration nodes that permit aspect
   --  specifications and the Has_Aspects flag must be False on entry. L must
   --  be a non-empty list of N_Aspect_Specification nodes. This procedure sets
   --  the Has_Aspects flag to True, and makes an entry that can be retrieved
   --  by a subsequent Aspect_Specifications call. It is an error to call this
   --  procedure with a node that does not permit aspect specifications, or a
   --  node that has its Has_Aspects flag set True on entry, or with L being an
   --  empty list or No_List.

   procedure Tree_Read;
   --  Reads contents of Aspect_Specifications hash table from the tree file

   procedure Tree_Write;
   --  Writes contents of Aspect_Specifications hash table to the tree file

end Aspects;
