--  This package provides facilities for manipulating lists of nodes (see
--  package Atree for format and implementation of tree nodes). Separate list
--  elements are allocated to represent elements of these lists, so it is
--  possible for a given node to be on more than one element list at a time.
--  See also package Nlists, which provides another form that is threaded
--  through the nodes themselves (using the Link field), which is more time
--  and space efficient, but a node can be only one such list.

package Elists is

   --  An element list is represented by a header that is allocated in the
   --  Elist header table. This header contains pointers to the first and
   --  last elements in the list, or to No_Elmt if the list is empty.

   --  The elements in the list each contain a pointer to the next element
   --  and a pointer to the referenced node. Putting a node into an element
   --  list causes no change at all to the node itself, so a node may be
   --  included in multiple element lists, and the nodes thus included may
   --  or may not be elements of node lists (see package Nlists).

   procedure Initialize;
   --  Initialize allocation of element list tables. Called at the start of
   --  compiling each new main source file. Note that Initialize must not be
   --  called if Tree_Read is used.

   procedure Lock;
   --  Lock tables used for element lists before calling backend

   procedure Unlock;
   --  Unlock list tables, in cases where the back end needs to modify them

   procedure Tree_Read;
   --  Initializes internal tables from current tree file using the relevant
   --  Table.Tree_Read routines. Note that Initialize should not be called if
   --  Tree_Read is used. Tree_Read includes all necessary initialization.
