   --  point type T, i.e. if it is an exact multiple of Small.

   function Is_Fully_Initialized_Type (Typ : Entity_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Typ is a type entity. This function returns true if this type is
   --  fully initialized, meaning that an object of the type is fully
   --  initialized. Note that initialization resulting from the use of
   --  pragma Normalized_Scalars does not count. Note that this is only
   --  used for the purpose of issuing warnings for objects that are
   --  potentially referenced uninitialized. This means that the result
   --  returned is not crucial, but probably should err on the side of
   --  thinking things are fully initialized if it does not know.

   function Is_Inherited_Operation (E : Entity_Id) return Boolean;
   --  E is a subprogram. Return True is E is an implicit operation inherited
   --  by a derived type declarations.

   function Is_Lvalue (N : Node_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Determines if N could be an lvalue (e.g. an assignment left hand side).
   --  This determination is conservative, it must never answer False if N is
   --  an lvalue, but it can answer True when N is not an lvalue. An lvalue is
   --  defined as any expression which appears in a context where a name is
   --  required by the syntax, and the identity, rather than merely the value
   --  of the node is needed (for example, the prefix of an Access attribute
   --  is in this category).

   function Is_Library_Level_Entity (E : Entity_Id) return Boolean;
   --  A library-level declaration is one that is accessible from Standard,
   --  i.e. a library unit or an entity declared in a library package.

   function Is_Local_Variable_Reference (Expr : Node_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Determines whether Expr is a refeference to a variable or IN OUT
   --  mode parameter of the current enclosing subprogram.
   --  Why are OUT parameters not considered here ???

   function Is_Object_Reference (N : Node_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Determines if the tree referenced by N represents an object. Both
   --  variable and constant objects return True (compare Is_Variable).

   function Is_OK_Variable_For_Out_Formal (AV : Node_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Used to test if AV is an acceptable formal for an OUT or IN OUT
   --  formal. Note that the Is_Variable function is not quite the right
   --  test because this is a case in which conversions whose expression
   --  is a variable (in the Is_Variable sense) with a non-tagged type
   --  target are considered view conversions and hence variables.

   function Is_Partially_Initialized_Type (Typ : Entity_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Typ is a type entity. This function returns true if this type is
   --  partly initialized, meaning that an object of the type is at least
   --  partly initialized (in particular in the record case, that at least
   --  one field has an initialization expression). Note that initialization
   --  resulting from the use of pragma Normalized_Scalars does not count.

   function Is_RCI_Pkg_Spec_Or_Body (Cunit : Node_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Return True if a compilation unit is the specification or the
   --  body of a remote call interface package.

   function Is_Remote_Access_To_Class_Wide_Type (E : Entity_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Return True if E is a remote access-to-class-wide-limited_private type

   function Is_Remote_Access_To_Subprogram_Type (E : Entity_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Return True if E is a remote access to subprogram type.

   function Is_Remote_Call (N : Node_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Return True if N denotes a potentially remote call

   function Is_Selector_Name (N : Node_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Given an N_Identifier node N, determines if it is a Selector_Name.
   --  As described in Sinfo, Selector_Names are special because they
   --  represent use of the N_Identifier node for a true identifer, when
   --  normally such nodes represent a direct name.

   function Is_Statement (N : Node_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Check if the node N is a statement node. Note that this includes
   --  the case of procedure call statements (unlike the direct use of
   --  the N_Statement_Other_Than_Procedure_Call subtype from Sinfo).
   --  Note that a label is *not* a statement, and will return False.

   function Is_Transfer (N : Node_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Returns True if the node N is a statement which is known to cause
   --  an unconditional transfer of control at runtime, i.e. the following
   --  statement definitely will not be executed.

   function Is_True (U : Uint) return Boolean;
   --  The argument is a Uint value which is the Boolean'Pos value of a
   --  Boolean operand (i.e. is either 0 for False, or 1 for True). This
   --  function simply tests if it is True (i.e. non-zero)

   function Is_Variable (N : Node_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Determines if the tree referenced by N represents a variable, i.e.
   --  can appear on the left side of an assignment. There is one situation,
   --  namely formal parameters, in which non-tagged type conversions are
   --  also considered variables, but Is_Variable returns False for such
   --  cases, since it has no knowledge of the context. Note that this is
   --  the point at which Assignment_OK is checked, and True is returned
   --  for any tree thus marked.

   function Is_Volatile_Object (N : Node_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Determines if the given node denotes an volatile object in the sense
   --  of the legality checks described in RM C.6(12). Note that the test
   --  here is for something actually declared as volatile, not for an object
   --  that gets treated as volatile (see Einfo.Treat_As_Volatile).

   procedure Kill_Current_Values;
   --  This procedure is called to clear all constant indications from all
   --  entities in the current scope and in any parent scopes if the current
   --  scope is a block or a pacakage (and that recursion continues to the
   --  top scope that is not a block or a package). This is used when the
   --  sequential flow-of-control assumption is violated (occurence of a
   --  label, head of a loop, or start of an exception handler). The effect
   --  of the call is to clear the Constant_Value field (but we do not need
   --  to clear the Is_True_Constant flag, since that only gets reset if
   --  there really is an assignment somewhere in the entity scope). This
   --  procedure also calls Kill_All_Checks, since this is a special case
   --  of needing to forget saved values. This procedure also clears any
   --  Is_Known_Non_Null flags in variables, constants or parameters
   --  since these are also not known to be valid.

   procedure Kill_Size_Check_Code (E : Entity_Id);
   --  Called when an address clause or pragma Import is applied to an
   --  entity. If the entity is a variable or a constant, and size check
   --  code is present, this size check code is killed, since the object
   --  will not be allocated by the program.

   --  This function creates an N_Defining_Identifier node for an internal
   --  created entity, such as an implicit type or subtype, or a record
   --  initialization procedure. The entity name is constructed with a call
   --  to New_External_Name (Related_Id, Suffix, Suffix_Index, Prefix), so
   --  that the generated name may be referenced as a public entry, and the
   --  Is_Public flag is set if needed (using Set_Public_Status). If the
   --  entity is for a type or subtype, the size/align fields are initialized
   --  to unknown (Uint_0).

   function New_Internal_Entity

   --  when the resulting entity does not have to be referenced as a
   --  public entity (and in this case Is_Public is not set).

   --  This routine is called if the sub-expression N maybe the target of

   --  is returned (which is a New_Occurrence of the appropriate entity).
   --
   --  Note: one might think that it would be fine to always use True and
   --  to ignore the suppress in this case, but it is generally better to
   --  believe a request to suppress exceptions if possible, and further
   --  more there is at least one case in the generated code (the code for

   procedure Require_Entity (N : Node_Id);
   --  N is a node which should have an entity value if it is an entity name.
   --  If not, then check if there were previous errors. If so, just fill

   function Requires_Transient_Scope (Id : Entity_Id) return Boolean;
   --  E is a type entity. The result is True when temporaries of this
