-- Subprograms for manipulation of wide character sequences
with Types; use Types;
package Widechar is
function Length_Wide return Nat;
-- Returns the maximum length in characters for the escape sequence that
-- is used to encode wide character literals outside the ASCII range. Used
-- only in the implementation of the attribute Width for Wide_Character.
procedure Scan_Wide
(S : Source_Buffer_Ptr;
P : in out Source_Ptr;
C : out Char_Code;
Err : out Boolean);
-- On entry S (P) points to the first character in the source text for
-- a wide character (i.e. to an ESC character, a left bracket, or an
-- upper half character, depending on the representation method). A
-- single wide character is scanned. If no error is found, the value
-- stored in C is the code for this wide character, P is updated past
-- the sequence and Err is set to False. If an error is found, then
-- P points to the improper character, C is undefined, and Err is
-- set to True.
procedure Set_Wide
(C : Char_Code;
S : in out String;
P : in out Natural);
-- The escape sequence (including any leading ESC character) for the
-- given character code is stored starting at S (P + 1), and on return
-- P points to the last stored character (i.e. P is the count of stored
-- characters on entry and exit, and the escape sequence is appended to
-- the end of the stored string). The character code C represents a code
-- originally constructed by Scan_Wide, so it is known to be in a range
-- that is appropriate for the encoding method in use.
procedure Skip_Wide (S : String; P : in out Natural);
-- On entry, S (P) points to an ESC character for a wide character escape
-- sequence or to an upper half character if the encoding method uses the
-- upper bit, or to a left bracket if the brackets encoding method is in
-- use. On exit, P is bumped past the wide character sequence. No error
-- checking is done, since this is only used on escape sequences generated
-- by Set_Wide, which are known to be correct.
function Is_Start_Of_Wide_Char
(S : Source_Buffer_Ptr;
P : Source_Ptr)
return Boolean;
-- Determines if S (P) is the start of a wide character sequence
