-- This child package of Sinfo contains some routines that permit in place
-- alteration of existing tree nodes by changing the value in the Nkind
-- field. Since Nkind functions logically in a manner similar to a variant
-- record discriminant part, such alterations cannot be permitted in a
-- general manner, but in some specific cases, the fields of related nodes
-- have been deliberately laid out in a manner that permits such alteration.
package Sinfo.CN is
procedure Change_Identifier_To_Defining_Identifier (N : in out Node_Id);
-- N must refer to a node of type N_Identifier. This node is modified to
-- be of type N_Defining_Identifier. The scanner always returns identifiers
-- as N_Identifier. The parser then uses this routine to change the node
-- to be a defining identifier where the context demands it. This routine
-- also allocates the necessary extension node. Note that this procedure
-- may (but is not required to) change the Id of the node in question.
procedure Change_Character_Literal_To_Defining_Character_Literal
(N : in out Node_Id);
-- Similar processing for a character literal
procedure Change_Operator_Symbol_To_Defining_Operator_Symbol
(N : in out Node_Id);
-- Similar processing for an operator symbol
procedure Change_Conversion_To_Unchecked (N : Node_Id);
-- Change checked conversion node to unchecked conversion node, clearing
-- irrelevant check flags (other fields in the two nodes are identical)
procedure Change_Operator_Symbol_To_String_Literal (N : Node_Id);
-- The scanner returns any string that looks like an operator symbol as
-- a N_Operator_Symbol node. The parser then uses this procedure to change
-- the node to a normal N_String_Literal node if the context is not one
-- in which an operator symbol is required. There are some cases where the
-- parser cannot tell, in which case this transformation happens later on.
procedure Change_Selected_Component_To_Expanded_Name (N : Node_Id);
-- The parser always generates Selected_Component nodes. The semantics
-- modifies these to Expanded_Name nodes where appropriate. Note that
-- on return the Chars field is set to a copy of the contents of the
-- Chars field of the Selector_Name field.
