-- This package provides some useful utility subprograms that provide access
-- to source code information known at compile time. These subprograms are
-- intrinsic operations that provide information known to the compiler in
-- a form that can be embedded into the source program for identification
-- and logging purposes. For example, an exception handler can print out
-- the name of the source file in which the exception is handled.
package GNAT.Source_Info is
pragma Preelaborate;
-- Note that this unit is Preelaborate, but not Pure, that's because the
-- functions here such as Line are clearly not pure functions, and normally
-- we mark intrinsic functions in a Pure unit as Pure, even though they are
-- imported.
--
-- Historical note: this used to be Pure, but that was when we marked all
-- intrinsics as not Pure, even in Pure units, so no problems arose.
function File return String with
Import, Convention => Intrinsic;
-- Return the name of the current file, not including the path information.
-- The result is considered to be a static string constant.
function Line return Positive with
Import, Convention => Intrinsic;
-- Return the current input line number. The result is considered to be a
-- static expression.
function Source_Location return String with
Import, Convention => Intrinsic;
-- Return a string literal of the form "name:line", where name is the
-- current source file name without path information, and line is the
-- current line number. In the event that instantiations are involved,
-- additional suffixes of the same form are appended after the separating
-- string " instantiated at ". The result is considered to be a static
-- string constant.
function Enclosing_Entity return String with
Import, Convention => Intrinsic;
-- Return the name of the current subprogram, package, task, entry or
-- protected subprogram. The string is in exactly the form used for the
-- declaration of the entity (casing and encoding conventions), and is
-- considered to be a static string constant. The name is fully qualified
-- using periods where possible (this is not always possible, notably in
-- the case of entities appearing in unnamed block statements.)
--
-- Note: if this function is used at the outer level of a generic package,
-- the string returned will be the name of the instance, not the generic
-- package itself. This is useful in identifying and logging information
-- from within generic templates.
function Compilation_Date return String with
Import, Convention => Intrinsic;
-- Returns date of compilation as a static string "mmm dd yyyy". This is
-- in local time form, and is exactly compatible with C macro __DATE__.
function Compilation_Time return String with
Import, Convention => Intrinsic;
-- Returns GMT time of compilation as a static string "hh:mm:ss". This is
-- in local time form, and is exactly compatible with C macro __TIME__.
