-- This package contains routines for scanning signed Integer values for use
-- in Text_IO.Integer_IO, and the Value attribute.
package System.Val_Int is
pragma Pure (Val_Int);
function Scan_Integer
(Str : String;
Ptr : access Integer;
Max : Integer)
return Integer;
-- This function scans the string starting at Str (Ptr.all) for a valid
-- integer according to the syntax described in (RM 3.5(43)). The substring
-- scanned extends no further than Str (Max). There are three cases for the
-- return:
--
-- If a valid integer is found after scanning past any initial spaces, then
-- Ptr.all is updated past the last character of the integer (but trailing
-- spaces are not scanned out).
--
-- If no valid integer is found, then Ptr.all points either to an initial
-- non-digit character, or to Max + 1 if the field is all spaces and the
-- exception Constraint_Error is raised.
--
-- If a syntactically valid integer is scanned, but the value is out of
-- range, or, in the based case, the base value is out of range or there
-- is an out of range digit, then Ptr.all points past the integer, and
-- Constraint_Error is raised.
--
-- Note: these rules correspond to the requirements for leaving the pointer
-- positioned in Text_Io.Get
--
-- Note: if Str is null, i.e. if Max is less than Ptr, then this is a
-- special case of an all-blank string, and Ptr is unchanged, and hence
-- is greater than Max as required in this case.
function Value_Integer (Str : String) return Integer;
-- Used in computing X'Value (Str) where X is a signed integer type whose
-- base range does not exceed the base range of Integer. Str is the string
-- argument of the attribute. Constraint_Error is raised if the string is
-- malformed, or if the value is out of range.
