--  This package is an internal package that provides basic character
--  classification capabilities needed by the compiler for handling full
--  32-bit wide wide characters. We avoid the use of the actual type
--  Wide_Wide_Character, since we want to use these routines in the compiler
--  itself, and we want to be able to compile the compiler with old versions
--  of GNAT that did not implement Wide_Wide_Character.

--  This package is not available directly for use in application programs,
--  but it serves as the basis for GNAT.Wide_Case_Utilities and
--  GNAT.Wide_Wide_Case_Utilities, which can be used directly.

package GNAT.UTF_32 is

   type UTF_32 is mod 2 ** 32;

   pragma Inline (Is_UTF_32_Letter);
   --  Returns true iff U is a letter that can be used to start an identifier.
   --  This means that it is in one of the following categories:
   --    Letter, Uppercase (Lu)
   --    Letter, Lowercase (Ll)
   --    Letter, Titlecase (Lt)
   --    Letter, Modifier  (Lm)

   pragma Inline (Is_UTF_32_Digit);
   --  Returns true iff U is a digit that can be used to extend an identifer,
   --  which means it is in one of the following categories:
   --    Number, Decimal_Digit (Nd)

   function Is_UTF_32_Line_Terminator (U : UTF_32) return Boolean;
   pragma Inline (Is_UTF_32_Line_Terminator);
   --  Returns true iff U is an allowed line terminator for source programs,
   --  which means it is in one of the following categories:
   --    Separator, Line (Zl)

   pragma Inline (Is_UTF_32_Mark);
   --  Returns true iff U is a mark character which can be used to extend
   --  an identifier. This means it is in one of the following categories:
   --    Mark, Non-Spacing (Mn)
   --    Mark, Spacing Combining (Mc)

   function Is_UTF_32_Other (U : UTF_32) return Boolean;
   pragma Inline (Is_UTF_32_Other);
   --  Returns true iff U is an other format character, which means that it
   --  can be used to extend an identifier, but is ignored for the purposes of
   --  matching of identiers. This means that it is in one of the following
   --  categories:
   --    Other, Format (Cf)

   function Is_UTF_32_Punctuation (U : UTF_32) return Boolean;
   pragma Inline (Is_UTF_32_Punctuation);
   --  Returns true iff U is a punctuation character that can be used to
   --  separate pices of an identifier. This means that it is in one of the

   --    Punctuation, Connector (Pc)

   function Is_UTF_32_Space (U : UTF_32) return Boolean;
   pragma Inline (Is_UTF_32_Space);
   --  Returns true iff U is considered a space to be ignored, which means
   --  that it is in one of the following categories:

   function Is_UTF_32_Non_Graphic (U : UTF_32) return Boolean;
   pragma Inline (Is_UTF_32_Non_Graphic);
   --  Returns true iff U is considered to be a non-graphic character,
   --  which means that it is in one of the following categories:
   --    Other, Control (Cc)
   --    Other, Private Use (Co)
   --    Other, Surrogate (Cs)
   --    Other, Format (Cf)
   --    Separator, Line (Zl)
   --    Separator, Paragraph (Zp)

   --  Note that the Ada category format effector is subsumed by the above
   --  list of Unicode categories.

   pragma Inline (UTF_32_To_Upper_Case);
   --  If U represents a lower case letter, returns the corresponding upper

   --  1 of ISO/IEC 10646:2003
