--  This package contains the routines to output error messages for the binder
--  and also the routines for handling fatal error conditions in the binder.

with Types; use Types;

package Binderr is

   Errors_Detected : Int;
   --  Number of errors detected so far

   Warnings_Detected : Int;
   --  Number of warnings detected

   Info_Prefix_Suppress : Boolean := False;
   --  If set to True, the normal "info: " header before messages generated
   --  by Error_Msg_Info will be omitted.

   ---------------------------------------------------------
   -- Error Message Text and Message Insertion Characters --
   ---------------------------------------------------------

   --  Error message text strings are composed of letters, digits and the
   --  special characters space, comma, period, colon and semicolon,
   --  apostrophe and parentheses. Special insertion characters can also
   --  appear which cause the error message circuit to modify the given
   --  string as follows:

   --    Insertion character % (Percent: insert file name from Names table)
   --      The character % is replaced by the text for the file name specified
   --      by the Name_Id value stored in Error_Msg_Name_1. The name is always
   --      enclosed in quotes. A second % may appear in a single message in
   --      which case it is similarly replaced by the name which is specified
   --      by the Name_Id value stored in Error_Msg_Name_2.

   --    Insertion character & (Ampersand: insert unit name from Names table)
   --      The character & is replaced by the text for the unit name specified
   --      by the Name_Id value stored in Error_Msg_Name_1. The name is always
   --      enclosed in quotes. A second & may appear in a single message in
   --      which case it is similarly replaced by the name which is specified
   --      by the Name_Id value stored in Error_Msg_Name_2.

   --    Insertion character # (Pound: insert non-negative number in decimal)
   --      The character # is replaced by the contents of Error_Msg_Nat_1
   --      converted into an unsigned decimal string. A second # may appear
   --      in a single message, in which case it is similarly replaced by
   --      the value stored in Error_Msg_Nat_2.

   --    Insertion character ? (Question mark: warning message)
   --      The character ?, which must be the first character in the message
   --      string, signals a warning message instead of an error message.

   -----------------------------------------------------
   -- Global Values Used for Error Message Insertions --
   -----------------------------------------------------

   --  The following global variables are essentially additional parameters
   --  passed to the error message routine for insertion sequences described
   --  above. The reason these are passed globally is that the insertion
   --  mechanism is essentially an untyped one in which the appropriate
   --  variables are set dependingon the specific insertion characters used.

   Error_Msg_Name_1 : Name_Id;
   Error_Msg_Name_2 : Name_Id;
   --  Name_Id values for % insertion characters in message

   Error_Msg_Nat_1 : Nat;
   Error_Msg_Nat_2 : Nat;
   --  Integer values for # insertion characters in message

   ------------------------------
   -- Error Output Subprograms --
   ------------------------------

   procedure Error_Msg (Msg : String);
   --  Output specified error message to standard error or standard output
   --  as governed by the brief and verbose switches, and update error
   --  counts appropriately

   procedure Error_Msg_Info (Msg : String);
   --  Output information line. Indentical in effect to Error_Msg, except
   --  that the prefix is info: instead of error: and the error count is
   --  not incremented. The prefix may be suppressed by setting the global
   --  variable Info_Prefix_Suppress to True.

   procedure Error_Msg_Output (Msg : String; Info : Boolean);
   --  Output given message, with insertions, to current message output file.
   --  The second argument is True for an info message, false for a normal
   --  warning or error message. Normally this is not called directly, but
   --  rather only by Error_Msg or Error_Msg_Info. It is called directly
   --  when the caller must control whether the output goes to stderr or
   --  stdout (Error_Msg_Output always goes to the current output file).

   procedure Finalize_Binderr;
   --  Finalize error output for one file

   procedure Initialize_Binderr;
   --  Initialize error output for one file

end Binderr;
