--  This package provides arithmetic and logical operations on type Address.
--  It is intended for use by other packages in the System hierarchy. For
--  applications requiring this capability, see System.Storage_Elements or
--  the operations introduced in System.Aux_DEC;

--  The reason we need this package is that arithmetic operations may not
--  be available in the case where type Address is non-private and the
--  operations have been made abstract in the spec of System (to avoid
--  inappropriate use by applications programs). In addition, the logical
--  operations may not be available if type Address is a signed integer.

package System.Address_Operations is
pragma Pure (Address_Operations);

   --  The semantics of the arithmetic operations are those that apply to
   --  a modular type with the same length as Address, i.e. they provide
   --  twos complement wrap around arithmetic treating the address value
   --  as an unsigned value, with no overflow checking.

   --  Note that we do not use the infix names for these operations to
   --  avoid problems with ambiguities coming from declarations in package
   --  Standard (which may or may not be visible depending on the exact
   --  form of the declaration of type System.Address).

   function AddA (Left, Right : Address) return Address;
   function SubA (Left, Right : Address) return Address;
   function MulA (Left, Right : Address) return Address;
   function DivA (Left, Right : Address) return Address;
   function ModA (Left, Right : Address) return Address;

   --  The semantics of the logical operations are those that apply to
   --  a modular type with the same length as Address, i.e. they provide
   --  bit-wise operations on all bits of the value (including the sign
   --  bit if Address is a signed integer type).

   function AndA (Left, Right : Address) return Address;
   function OrA  (Left, Right : Address) return Address;

   pragma Inline_Always (AddA);
   pragma Inline_Always (SubA);
   pragma Inline_Always (MulA);
   pragma Inline_Always (DivA);
   pragma Inline_Always (ModA);
