-- This package provides an interface for raising predefined exceptions with
-- an exception message. It can be used from Pure units. This unit is for
-- internal use only, it is not generally available to applications.

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. using a tagged type) that would drag in 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.
