------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- This package contains low level output routines used by the compiler
-- for writing error messages and informational output. It is also used
-- by the debug source file output routines (see Sprintf.Print_Eol).

-------------------------
-- Line Buffer Control --
-------------------------
-- Note: the following buffer and column position are maintained by
-- the subprograms defined in this package, and are not normally
-- directly modified or accessed by a client. However, a client is
-- permitted to modify these values, using the knowledge that only
-- Write_Eol actually generates any output.
Buffer_Max : constant := 8192;
Buffer : String (1 .. Buffer_Max + 1);
-- Buffer used to build output line. We do line buffering because it
-- is needed for the support of the debug-generated-code option (-gnatD).
-- Historically it was first added because on VMS, line buffering is
-- needed with certain file formats. So in any case line buffering must
-- be retained for this purpose, even if other reasons disappear. Note
-- any attempt to write more output to a line than can fit in the buffer
-- will be silently ignored.
Column : Pos range 1 .. Buffer'Length + 1 := 1;
-- Column about to be written.
-----------------
-- Subprograms --
-----------------
procedure Set_Standard_Error;
-- Sets subsequent output to appear on the standard error file (whatever
-- that might mean for the host operating system, if anything).
procedure Set_Standard_Output;
-- Sets subsequent output to appear on the standard output file (whatever
-- that might mean for the host operating system, if anything). This is
-- the default mode before any call to either of the Set procedures.
procedure Write_Char (C : Character);
-- Write one character to the standard output file. Note that the
-- character should not be LF or CR (use Write_Eol for end of line)
procedure Write_Eol;
-- Write an end of line (whatever is required by the system in use,
-- e.g. CR/LF for DOS, or LF for Unix) to the standard output file.
-- This routine also empties the line buffer, actually writing it
-- to the file. Note that Write_Eol is the only routine that causes
-- any actual output to be written.
procedure Write_Int (Val : Int);
-- Write an integer value with no leading blanks or zeroes. Negative
-- values are preceded by a minus sign).
procedure Write_Str (S : String);
-- Write a string of characters to the standard output file. Note that
-- end of line is handled separately using WRITE_EOL, so the string
-- should not contain either of the characters LF or CR, but it may
-- contain horizontal tab characters.
procedure Write_Line (S : String);
-- Equivalent to Write_Str (S) followed by Write_Eol;

-- Debugging Procedures --
--------------------------
-- The following procedures are intended only for debugging purposes,
-- for temporary insertion into the text in environments where a debugger
-- is not available. They all have non-standard very short lower case
-- names, precisely to make sure that they are only used for debugging!
procedure w (C : Character);
-- Dump quote, character quote, followed by line return
procedure w (S : String);
-- Dump string followed by line return
procedure w (V : Int);
-- Dump integer followed by line return
procedure w (B : Boolean);
-- Dump Boolean followed by line return
procedure w (L : String; C : Character);
-- Dump contents of string followed by blank, quote, character, quote
procedure w (L : String; S : String);
-- Dump two strings separated by blanks, followed by line return
procedure w (L : String; V : Int);
-- Dump contents of string followed by blank, integer, line return
procedure w (L : String; B : Boolean);
-- Dump contents of string followed by blank, Boolean, line return
end Output;
