-- This package defines the codes used to identify the encoding method for
-- wide characters in string and character constants. This is needed both
-- at compile time and at runtime (for the wide character runtime routines)
-- This unit may be used directly from an application program by providing
-- an appropriate WITH, and the interface can be expected to remain stable.

-- Wide_Character Encoding Methods --
-------------------------------------
-- A wide character encoding method is a method for uniquely representing
-- a Wide_Character or Wide_Wide_Character value using a one or more
-- Character values. Three types of encoding method are supported by GNAT:
-- An escape encoding method uses ESC as the first character of the
-- sequence, and subsequent characters determine the wide character
-- value that is represented. Any character other than ESC stands
-- for itself as a single byte (i.e. any character in Latin-1, other
-- than ESC itself, is represented as a single character: itself).
-- An upper half encoding method uses a character in the upper half
-- range (i.e. in the range 16#80# .. 16#FF#) as the first byte of
-- a wide character encoding sequence. Subsequent characters are
-- used to determine the wide character value that is represented.
-- Any character in the lower half (16#00# .. 16#7F#) represents
-- itself as a single character.
-- The brackets notation, where a wide character is represented by the
-- sequence ["xx"] or ["xxxx"] or ["xxxxxx"] where xx are hexadecimal
-- characters. Note that currently this is the only encoding that
-- supports the full UTF-32 range.
-- Note that GNAT does not currently support escape-in, escape-out
-- encoding methods, where an escape sequence is used to set a mode
-- used to recognize subsequent characters. All encoding methods use
-- individual character-by-character encodings, so that a sequence of
-- wide characters is represented by a sequence of encodings.
-- To add new encoding methods, the following steps are required:
-- 1. Define a code for a new value of type WC_Encoding_Method
-- 2. Adjust the definition of WC_Encoding_Method accordingly
-- 3. Provide appropriate conversion routines in System.WCh_Cnv
-- 4. Adjust definition of WC_Longest_Sequence if necessary
-- 5. Add an entry in WC_Encoding_Letters for the new method
-- 6. Add proper code to s-wchstw.adb, s-wchwts.adb, s-widwch.adb
-- 7. Update documentation (remember section on form strings)
-- Note that the WC_Encoding_Method values must be kept ordered so that
-- the definitions of the subtypes WC_Upper_Half_Encoding_Method and
-- WC_ESC_Encoding_Method are still correct.

-- Encoding Method Definitions --
---------------------------------
type WC_Encoding_Method is range 1 .. 6;
-- Type covering the range of values used to represent wide character
-- encoding methods. An enumeration type might be a little neater, but
-- more trouble than it's worth, given the need to pass these values
-- from the compiler to the backend, and to record them in the ALI file.
WCEM_Hex : constant WC_Encoding_Method := 1;
-- The wide character with code 16#abcd# is represented by the escape
-- sequence ESC a b c d (five characters, where abcd are ASCII hex
-- characters, using upper case for letters). This method is easy
-- to deal with in external environments that do not support wide
-- characters, and covers the whole 16-bit BMP. Codes larger than
-- 16#FFFF# are not representable using this encoding method.
WCEM_Upper : constant WC_Encoding_Method := 2;
-- The wide character with encoding 16#abcd#, where the upper bit is on
-- (i.e. a is in the range 8-F) is represented as two bytes 16#ab# and
-- 16#cd#. The second byte may never be a format control character, but
-- is not required to be in the upper half. This method can be also used
-- for shift-JIS or EUC where the internal coding matches the external
-- coding. Codes larger than 16#FFFF# are not representable using this
-- encoding method.
WCEM_Shift_JIS : constant WC_Encoding_Method := 3;
-- A wide character is represented by a two character sequence 16#ab#
-- and 16#cd#, with the restrictions described for upper half encoding
-- as described above. The internal character code is the corresponding
-- JIS character according to the standard algorithm for Shift-JIS
-- conversion. See the body of package System.JIS_Conversions for
-- further details. Codes larger than 16#FFFF are not representable
-- using this encoding method.
WCEM_EUC : constant WC_Encoding_Method := 4;
-- A wide character is represented by a two character sequence 16#ab# and
-- 16#cd#, with both characters being in the upper half set. The internal
-- character code is the corresponding JIS character according to the EUC
-- encoding algorithm. See the body of package System.JIS_Conversions for
-- further details. Codes larger than 16#FFFF# are not representable using
-- this encoding method.
WCEM_UTF8 : constant WC_Encoding_Method := 5;
-- An ISO 10646-1 BMP/Unicode wide character is represented in UCS
-- Transformation Format 8 (UTF-8), as defined in Annex R of ISO
-- 10646-1/Am.2. Depending on the character value, a Unicode character
-- is represented as the one to six byte sequence.
--
-- 16#0000_0000#-16#0000_007f#: 2#0xxxxxxx#
-- 16#0000_0080#-16#0000_07ff#: 2#110xxxxx# 2#10xxxxxx#
-- 16#0000_0800#-16#0000_ffff#: 2#1110xxxx# 2#10xxxxxx# 2#10xxxxxx#
-- 16#0001_0000#-16#001F_FFFF#: 2#11110xxx# 2#10xxxxxx# 2#10xxxxxx#
-- 2#10xxxxxx#
-- 16#0020_0000#-16#03FF_FFFF#: 2#111110xx# 2#10xxxxxx# 2#10xxxxxx#
-- 2#10xxxxxx# 2#10xxxxxx#
-- 16#0400_0000#-16#7FFF_FFFF#: 2#1111110x# 2#10xxxxxx# 2#10xxxxxx#
-- 2#10xxxxxx# 2#10xxxxxx# 2#10xxxxxx#
--
-- where the xxx bits correspond to the left-padded bits of the
-- 16-bit character value. Note that all lower half ASCII characters
-- are represented as ASCII bytes and all upper half characters and
-- other wide characters are represented as sequences of upper-half. This
-- encoding method can represent the entire range of Wide_Wide_Character.
WCEM_Brackets : constant WC_Encoding_Method := 6;
-- A wide character is represented using one of the following sequences:
--
-- ["xx"]
-- ["xxxx"]
-- ["xxxxxx"]
-- ["xxxxxxxx"]
--
-- where xx are hexadecimal digits representing the character code. This
-- encoding method can represent the entire range of Wide_Wide_Character
-- but in the general case results in ambiguous representations (there is
-- no ambiguity in Ada sources, since the above sequences are illegal Ada).
