------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 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).
with Hostparm; use Hostparm;
with Types; use Types;
package Output is
pragma Elaborate_Body;
type Output_Proc is access procedure (S : String);
-- This type is used for the Set_Special_Output procedure. If this
-- procedure is called, then instead of lines being written to
-- standard error or standard output, a call is made to the given
-- procedure for each line, passing the line with an end of line
-- character (which is a single ASCII.LF character, even in systems
-- which normally use CR/LF or some other sequence for line end).
-----------------
-- Subprograms --
-----------------
procedure Set_Special_Output (P : Output_Proc);
-- Sets subsequent output to call procedure P. If P is null, then
-- the call cancels the effect of a previous call, reverting the
-- output to standard error or standard output depending on the
-- mode at the time of previous call. Any exception generated by
-- by calls to P is simply propagated to the caller of the routine
-- causing the write operation.
procedure Cancel_Special_Output;
-- Cancels the effect of a call to Set_Special_Output, if any.
-- The output is then directed to standard error or standard output
-- depending on the last call to Set_Standard_Error or Set_Standard_Output.
-- It is never an error to call Cancel_Special_Output. It has the same
-- effect as calling Set_Special_Output (null).
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) when
-- no special output is in effect. When a special output is in effect,
-- the output will appear on standard error only after special output
-- has been cancelled.
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) when
-- no special output is in effect. When a special output is in effect,
-- the output will appear on standard output only after special output
-- has been cancelled. Output to standard output 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_Erase_Char (C : Character);
-- If last character in buffer matches C, erase it, otherwise no effect
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;
function Column return Pos;
pragma Inline (Column);
-- Returns the number of the column about to be written (e.g. a value
-- of 1 means the current line is empty).
-------------------------
-- Buffer Save/Restore --
-------------------------
-- This facility allows the current line buffer to be saved and restored
type Saved_Output_Buffer is private;
-- Type used for Save/Restore_Buffer
Buffer_Max : constant := Hostparm.Max_Line_Length;
-- Maximal size of a buffered output line
function Save_Output_Buffer return Saved_Output_Buffer;
-- Save current line buffer and reset line buffer to empty
procedure Restore_Output_Buffer (S : Saved_Output_Buffer);
-- Restore previously saved output buffer. The value in S is not affected
-- so it is legtimate to restore a buffer more than once.
--------------------------
-- 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
private
-- Note: the following buffer and column position are maintained by the
-- subprograms defined in this package, and cannot be directly modified or
-- accessed by a client.
Buffer : String (1 .. Buffer_Max + 1);
for Buffer'Alignment use 4;
-- 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. The alignment clause improves the efficiency
-- of the save/restore procedures.

Buffer : String (1 .. Buffer_Max + 1);
