package Stringt is
pragma Elaborate_Body;
-- This is to make sure Null_String_Id is properly initialized
-- This package contains routines for handling the strings table which is
-- used to store string constants encountered in the source, and also those
-- additional string constants generated by compile time concatenation and
-- other similar processing.
-- WARNING: There is a C version of this package. Any changes to this
-- source file must be properly reflected in the C header file stringt.h
-- A string constant in this table consists of a series of Char_Code values,
-- so that 16-bit character codes can be properly handled if this feature
-- is implemented in the scanner.
-- There is no guarantee that hashing is used in the implementation, although
-- it may be. This means that the caller cannot count on having the same Id
-- value for two identical strings stored separately and also cannot count on
-- the two such Id values being different.
Null_String_Id : String_Id;
-- Gets set to a null string with length zero

procedure Initialize;
-- Initializes the strings table for a new compilation
procedure Lock;
-- Lock internal tables before calling back end
procedure Unlock;
-- Unlock internal tables, in case back end needs to modify them
procedure Mark;
-- Take a snapshot of the internal tables. Used in conjunction with Release
-- when computing temporary string values that need not be preserved.
procedure Release;
-- Restore the internal tables to the situation when Mark was last called.
-- If Release is called with no prior call to Mark, the entire string table
-- is cleared to its initial (empty) setting.
procedure Start_String;
-- Sets up for storing a new string in the table. To store a string, a
-- call is first made to Start_String, then successive calls are
-- made to Store_String_Character to store the characters of the string.
-- Finally, a call to End_String terminates the entry and returns it Id.
procedure Start_String (S : String_Id);
-- Like Start_String with no parameter, except that the contents of the
-- new string is initialized to be a copy of the given string. A test is
-- made to see if S is the last created string, and if so it is shared,
-- rather than copied, this can be particularly helpful for the case of
-- a continued concatenation of string constants.

-- Return S as a String
procedure String_To_Name_Buffer (S : String_Id);
-- Place characters of given string in Name_Buffer, setting Name_Len.

procedure Write_Char_Code (Code : Char_Code);
-- Procedure to write a character code value, used for debugging purposes
-- for writing character codes. If the character code is in the range
-- 16#20# .. 16#7E#, then the single graphic character corresponding to
-- the code is output. For any other codes in the range 16#00# .. 16#FF#,
-- the code is output as ["hh"] where hh is the two digit hex value for
-- the code. Codes greater than 16#FF# are output as ["hhhh"] where hhhh
-- is the four digit hex representation of the code value (high order
-- byte first). Hex letters are always in lower case.
procedure Write_String_Table_Entry (Id : String_Id);
-- Writes a string value with enclosing quotes to the current file using
-- routines in package Output. Does not write an end of line character.
-- This procedure is used for debug output purposes, and also for output
-- of strings specified by pragma Linker Option to the ali file. 7-bit
-- ASCII graphics (except for double quote) are output literally.
-- The double quote appears as two successive double quotes.
-- All other codes, are output as described for Write_Char_Code. For
-- example, the string created by folding "A" & ASCII.HT & "Hello" will
-- print as "A["09"]Hello". A No_String value prints simply as "no string"
-- without surrounding quote marks.
