-- Description of Approach --
-----------------------------
-- Every non-static call that is encountered by Sem_Res results in a call
-- to Check_Elab_Call, with N being the call node, and Outer set to its
-- default value of True. In addition X'Access is treated like a call
-- for the access-to-procedure case, and in SPARK mode only we also
-- check variable references.
-- The goal of Check_Elab_Call is to determine whether or not the reference
-- in question can generate an access before elaboration error (raising
-- Program_Error) either by directly calling a subprogram whose body
-- has not yet been elaborated, or indirectly, by calling a subprogram
-- whose body has been elaborated, but which contains a call to such a
-- subprogram.
-- In addition, in SPARK mode, we are checking for a variable reference in
-- another package, which requires an explicit Elaborate_All pragma.
-- The only references that we need to look at at the outer level are
-- references that occur in elaboration code. There are two cases. The
-- reference can be at the outer level of elaboration code, or it can
-- be within another unit, e.g. the elaboration code of a subprogram.
-- In the case of an elaboration call at the outer level, we must trace
-- all calls to outer level routines either within the current unit or to
-- other units that are with'ed. For calls within the current unit, we can
-- determine if the body has been elaborated or not, and if it has not,
-- then a warning is generated.
-- Note that there are two subcases. If the original call directly calls a
-- subprogram whose body has not been elaborated, then we know that an ABE
-- will take place, and we replace the call by a raise of Program_Error.
-- If the call is indirect, then we don't know that the PE will be raised,
-- since the call might be guarded by a conditional. In this case we set
-- Do_Elab_Check on the call so that a dynamic check is generated, and
-- output a warning.
-- For calls to a subprogram in a with'ed unit or a 'Access or variable
-- refernece (SPARK mode case), we require that a pragma Elaborate_All
-- or pragma Elaborate be present, or that the referenced unit have a
-- pragma Preelaborate, pragma Pure, or pragma Elaborate_Body. If none
-- of these conditions is met, then a warning is generated that a pragma
-- Elaborate_All may be needed (error in the SPARK case), or an implicit
-- pragma is generated.
-- For the case of an elaboration call at some inner level, we are
-- interested in tracing only calls to subprograms at the same level,
-- i.e. those that can be called during elaboration. Any calls to
-- outer level routines cannot cause ABE's as a result of the original
-- call (there might be an outer level call to the subprogram from
-- outside that causes the ABE, but that gets analyzed separately).
-- Note that we never trace calls to inner level subprograms, since
-- these cannot result in ABE's unless there is an elaboration problem
-- at a lower level, which will be separately detected.
-- Note on pragma Elaborate. The checking here assumes that a pragma
-- Elaborate on a with'ed unit guarantees that subprograms within the
-- unit can be called without causing an ABE. This is not in fact the
-- case since pragma Elaborate does not guarantee the transitive
-- coverage guaranteed by Elaborate_All. However, we decide to trust
-- the user in this case.

-- Instantiation Elaboration Errors --
--------------------------------------
-- A special case arises when an instantiation appears in a context
-- that is known to be before the body is elaborated, e.g.
-- generic package x is ...
-- ...
-- package xx is new x;
-- ...
-- package body x is ...
-- In this situation it is certain that an elaboration error will
-- occur, and an unconditional raise Program_Error statement is
-- inserted before the instantiation, and a warning generated.
-- The problem is that in this case we have no place to put the
-- body of the instantiation. We can't put it in the normal place,
-- because it is too early, and will cause errors to occur as a
-- result of referencing entities before they are declared.
-- Our approach in this case is simply to avoid creating the body
-- of the instantiation in such a case. The instantiation spec is
-- modified to include dummy bodies for all subprograms, so that
-- the resulting code does not contain subprogram specs with no
-- corresponding bodies.
procedure Check_Elab_Call
(N : Node_Id;
Outer_Scope : Entity_Id := Empty;
In_Init_Proc : Boolean := False);
-- Check a call for possible elaboration problems. The node N is either an
-- N_Function_Call or N_Procedure_Call_Statement node or an access
-- attribute reference whose prefix is a subprogram.
--
-- If SPARK_Mode is On, then N can also be a variablr reference, since
-- SPARK requires the use of Elaborate_All for references to variables
-- in other packages.
-- The Outer_Scope argument indicates whether this is an outer level
-- call from Sem_Res (Outer_Scope set to Empty), or an internal recursive
-- call (Outer_Scope set to entity of outermost call, see body). The flag
-- In_Init_Proc should be set whenever the current context is a type
-- init proc.
-- Note: this might better be called Check_Elab_Reference (to recognize
-- the SPARK case), but we prefer to keep the original name, since this
-- is primarily used for checking for calls that could generate an ABE).
procedure Check_Elab_Calls;
-- Not all the processing for Check_Elab_Call can be done at the time
-- of calls to Check_Elab_Call. This is because for internal calls, we
-- need to wait to complete the check until all generic bodies have been
-- instantiated. The Check_Elab_Calls procedure cleans up these waiting
-- checks. It is called once after the completion of instantiation.
procedure Check_Elab_Assign (N : Node_Id);
-- N is either the left side of an assignment, or a procedure argument for
-- a mode OUT or IN OUT formal. This procedure checks for a possible case
-- of access to an entity from elaboration code before the entity has been
-- initialized, and issues appropriate warnings.
procedure Check_Elab_Instantiation
(N : Node_Id;
Outer_Scope : Entity_Id := Empty);
-- Check an instantiation for possible elaboration problems. N is an
-- instantiation node (N_Package_Instantiation, N_Function_Instantiation,
-- or N_Procedure_Instantiation), and Outer_Scope indicates if this is
-- an outer level call from Sem_Ch12 (Outer_Scope set to Empty), or an
-- internal recursive call (Outer_Scope set to scope of outermost call,
-- see body for further details). The returned value is relevant only
-- for an outer level call, and is set to False if an elaboration error
-- is bound to occur on the instantiation, and True otherwise. This is
-- used by the caller to signal that the body of the instance should
-- not be generated (see detailed description in body).
procedure Check_Task_Activation (N : Node_Id);
-- Tt the point at which tasks are activated in a package body, check
-- that the bodies of the tasks are elaborated.
