------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- This program provides a simple preprocessing capability for Ada programs.
-- It is designed for use with GNAT, but is not dependent on any special
-- features of GNAT.
-- To call gnatprep use
-- gnatprep infile outfile [deffile] [-v] [-c] [-b] [-r] [-s] [-u]
-- [-Dsymbol=value]
-- where
-- infile is the full name of the input file, which is an Ada source
-- file containing preprocessor directives.
-- outfile is the full name of the output file, which is an Ada source
-- in standard Ada form. When used with GNAT, this file name will
-- normally have an ads or adb suffix.
-- deffile is the full name of a text file containing definitions of
-- symbols to be referenced by the preprocessor. This argument is
-- optional.
-- The -c switch, causes both preprocessor lines and the lines deleted
-- by preprocessing to be retained in the output source as comments marked
-- with the special string "--! ". This option will result in line numbers
-- being preserved in the output file.
-- The -b switch causes both preprocessor lines and the lines deleted by
-- preprocessing to be replaced by blank lines in the output source file,
-- thus preserving line numbers in the output file.
-- The -r switch causes a Source_Reference pragma to be generated that
-- references the original input file, so that error messages will use
-- the file name of this original file.
-- The -u switch causes gnatprep to treat any undefined symbol that it
-- encounters as having the value False. Otherwise an undefined symbol
-- is a fatal error.
-- The -s switch causes a sorted list of symbol names and values to be
-- listed on the standard output file.
-- The -v switch causes a Copyright notice to be displayed, and
-- lines containing errors in the input file or the definition file
-- to be displayed before the errors.
-- The -D switch causes symbol 'symbol' to be associated with 'value'.
-- This symbols can then be referenced by the preprocessor. Several
-- -D switches may be specified.
-- Note: if neither -b nor -c is present, then preprocessor lines and
-- deleted lines are completely removed from the output, unless -r is
-- specified, in which case -b is assumed.
-- The definitions file contains lines of the form
-- symbol := value
-- where symbol is an identifier, following normal Ada (case-insensitive)
-- rules for its syntax, and value is one of the following:
-- Empty, corresponding to a null substitution
-- A string literal using normal Ada syntax
-- Any sequence of characters from the set
-- (letters, digits, period, underline)
-- Comment lines may also appear in the definitions file, starting with
-- the usual --, and comments may be added to the definitions lines.
-- The input text may contain preprocessor conditional inclusion lines,
-- and also general symbol substitution sequences.
-- The preprocessor conditional inclusion commands have the form
-- #if <expression> [then]
-- lines
-- #elsif <expression> [then]
-- lines
-- #elsif <expression> [then]
-- lines
-- ...
-- #else
-- lines
-- #end if;
--
-- Where expression is defined by the following grammar :
-- expression ::= <symbol>
-- expression ::= <symbol> = "<value>"
-- expression ::= <symbol> = <symbol>
-- expression ::= <symbol> 'Defined
-- expression ::= not <expression>
-- expression ::= <expression> and <expression>
-- expression ::= <expression> or <expression>
-- expression ::= <expression> and then <expression>
-- expression ::= <expression> or else <expression>
-- expression ::= ( <expression> )
-- "or" and "and" may not be used in the same expression without
-- using parentheses.
-- For these Boolean tests, the symbol must have either the value True or
-- False. If the value is True, then the corresponding lines are included,
-- and if the value is False, they are excluded. It is an error to
-- reference a symbol not defined in the symbol definitions file, or
-- to reference a symbol that has a value other than True or False.
-- The use of the not operator inverts the sense of this logical test, so
-- that the lines are included only if the symbol is not defined.
-- The THEN keyword is optional as shown
-- Spaces or tabs may appear between the # and the keyword. The keywords
-- and the symbols are case insensitive as in normal Ada code. Comments
-- may be used on a preprocessor line, but other than that, no other
-- tokens may appear on a preprocessor line.
-- Any number of #elsif clauses can be present, including none at all.
-- The #else is optional, as in Ada.
-- The # marking the start of a preprocessor line must be the first
-- non-blank character on the line, i.e. it must be preceded only by
-- spaces or horizontal tabs.
-- Symbol substitution is obtained by using the sequence
-- $symbol
-- anywhere within a source line, except in a comment. The identifier
-- following the $ must match one of the symbols defined in the symbol
-- definition file, and the result is to substitute the value of the
-- symbol in place of $symbol in the output file.
