--  This package contains the routines used to deal with issuing warnings
--  about uses of uninitialized variables and unused with's. It also has
--  some unrelated routines related to the generation of warnings.

with Types; use Types;

package Sem_Warn is

   --------------------
   -- Initialization --
   --------------------

   function Set_Warning_Switch (C : Character) return Boolean;
   --  This function sets the warning switch or switches corresponding to
   --  the given character. It is used for processing a -gnatw switch on the
   --  command line, or a string literal in pragma Warnings.

   ------------------------------------------
   -- Routines to Handle Unused References --
   ------------------------------------------

   procedure Check_References (E : Entity_Id; Anod : Node_Id := Empty);
   --  Called at the end of processing a declarative region. The entity E
   --  is the entity for the scope. All entities declared in the region,
   --  as indicated by First_Entity and the entity chain, are checked to
   --  see if they are variables for which warnings need to be posted for
   --  either no assignments, or a use before an assignment or no references
   --  at all. The Anod node is present for the case of an accept statement,
   --  and references the accept statement. This is used to place the warning
   --  messages in the right place.

   procedure Check_Unset_Reference (N : Node_Id);
   --  N is the node for an expression which occurs in a reference position,
   --  e.g. as the right side of an assignment. This procedure checks to see
   --  if the node is a reference to a variable entity where the entity has
   --  Not_Assigned set. If so, the Unset_Reference field is set if it is not
   --  the first occurrence. No warning is posted, instead warnings will be
   --  posted later by Check_References. The reason we do things that
   --  way is that if there are no assignments anywhere, we prefer to flag
   --  the entity, rather than a reference to it. Note that for the purposes
   --  of this routine, a type conversion or qualified expression whose
   --  expression is an entity is also processed. The reason that we do not
   --  process these at the point of occurrence is that both these constructs
   --  can occur in non-reference positions (e.g. as out parameters).

   procedure Check_Unused_Withs (Spec_Unit : Unit_Number_Type := No_Unit);
   --  This routine performs two kinds of checks. It checks that all with'ed
   --  units are referenced, and that at least one entity of each with'ed
   --  unit is referenced (the latter check catches units that are only
   --  referenced in a use or package renaming statement). Appropriate
   --  warning messages are generated if either of these situations is
   --  detected.
   --
   --  A special case arises when a package body or a subprogram body with
   --  a separate spec is being compiled. In this case, a with may appear
   --  on the spec, but be needed only by the body. This still generates
   --  a warning, but the text is different (the with is not redundant,
   --  it is misplaced).
   --
   --  This special case is implemented by making an initial call to this
   --  procedure with Spec_Unit set to the unit number of the separate spec.
   --  This call does not generate any warning messages, but instead may
   --  result in flags being set in the N_With_Clause node that record that
   --  there was no use in the spec.
   --
   --  The main call (made after all units have been analyzed, with Spec_Unit
   --  set to the default value of No_Unit) generates the required warnings
   --  using the flags set by the initial call where appropriate to specialize
   --  the text of the warning messages.

   ---------------------
   -- Output Routines --
   ---------------------

   procedure Output_Unreferenced_Messages;
   --  Warnings about unreferenced entities are collected till the end of
   --  the compilation process (see Check_Unset_Reference for further
   --  details). This procedure outputs waiting warnings, if any.

   ----------------------------
   -- Other Warning Routines --
   ----------------------------

   procedure Warn_On_Known_Condition (C : Node_Id);
   --  C is a node for a boolean expression resluting from a relational
   --  or membership operation. If the expression has a compile time known
   --  value, then a warning is output if all the following conditions hold:
   --
   --    1. Original expression comes from source. We don't want to generate
   --       warnings for internally generated conditionals.
   --
   --    2. As noted above, the expression is a relational or membership
   --       test, we don't want to generate warnings for boolean variables
   --       since this is typical of conditional compilation in Ada.
   --
   --    3. The expression appears in a statement, rather than a declaration.
   --       In practice, most occurrences in declarations are legitimate
   --       conditionalizations, but occurrences in statements are often
   --       errors for which the warning is useful.
   --
   --    4. The expression does not occur within an instantiation. A non-
   --       static expression in a generic may become constant because of
   --       the attributes of the actuals, and we do not want to warn on
   --       these legitimate constant foldings.
   --
   --  If all these conditions are met, the warning is issued noting that
   --  the result of the test is always false or always true as appropriate.
