| -- This package provides an interface for raising predefined exceptions |
| -- with an exception message. It can be used from Pure units. |
| |
| -- There is no prohibition in Ada that prevents exceptions being raised |
| -- from within pure units. The raise statement is perfectly acceptable. |
| |
| -- However, it is not normally possible to raise an exception with a |
| -- message because the routine Ada.Exceptions.Raise_Exception is not in |
| -- a Pure unit. This is an annoying and unnecessary restriction and this |
| -- package allows for raising the standard predefined exceptions at least. |
| |
| package GNAT.Exceptions is |
| pragma Pure; |
| |
| type Exception_Type is limited null record; |
| -- Type used to specify which exception to raise |
| |
| -- Really Exception_Type is Exception_Id, but Exception_Id can't be |
| -- used directly since it is declared in the non-pure unit Ada.Exceptions, |
| |
| -- Exception_Id is in fact simply a pointer to the type Exception_Data |
| -- declared in System.Standard_Library (which is also non-pure). So what |
| -- we do is to define it here as a by reference type (any by reference |
| -- type would do), and then Import the definitions from Standard_Library. |
| -- Since this is a by reference type, these will be passed by reference, |
| -- which has the same effect as passing a pointer. |
| |
| -- This type is not private because keeping it by reference would require |
| -- defining it in a way (e.g a tagged type) that would drag other run time |
| -- files, which is unwanted in the case of e.g ravenscar where we want to |
| -- minimize the number of run time files needed by default. |
