46 -- Error Message Text and Message Insertion Characters --
47 ---------------------------------------------------------
48
49 -- Error message text strings are composed of letters, digits and the
50 -- special characters space, comma, period, colon and semicolon,
51 -- apostrophe and parentheses. Special insertion characters can also
52 -- appear which cause the error message circuit to modify the given
53 -- string as follows:
54
55 -- Insertion character % (Percent: insert file name from Names table)
56 -- The character % is replaced by the text for the file name specified
57 -- by the Name_Id value stored in Error_Msg_Name_1. The name is always
58 -- enclosed in quotes. A second % may appear in a single message in
59 -- which case it is similarly replaced by the name which is specified
60 -- by the Name_Id value stored in Error_Msg_Name_2.
61
62 -- Insertion character & (Ampersand: insert unit name from Names table)
63 -- The character & is replaced by the text for the unit name specified
64 -- by the Name_Id value stored in Error_Msg_Name_1. The name is always
65 -- enclosed in quotes. A second & may appear in a single message in
66 -- which case it is similarly replaced by the name which is specified
67 -- by the Name_Id value stored in Error_Msg_Name_2.
68
69 -- Insertion character ? (Question mark: warning message)
70 -- The character ?, which must be the first character in the message
71 -- string, signals a warning message instead of an error message.
72
73 -----------------------------------------------------
74 -- Global Values Used for Error Message Insertions --
75 -----------------------------------------------------
76
77 -- The following global variables are essentially additional parameters
78 -- passed to the error message routine for insertion sequences described
79 -- above. The reason these are passed globally is that the insertion
80 -- mechanism is essentially an untyped one in which the appropriate
81 -- variables are set dependingon the specific insertion characters used.
82
83 Error_Msg_Name_1 : Name_Id;
84 Error_Msg_Name_2 : Name_Id;
85 -- Name_Id values for % insertion characters in message

88 -- Error Output Subprograms --
89 ------------------------------
90
91 procedure Error_Msg (Msg : String);
92 -- Output specified error message to standard error or standard output
93 -- as governed by the brief and verbose switches, and update error
94 -- counts appropriately
95
96 procedure Error_Msg_Info (Msg : String);
97 -- Output information line. Indentical in effect to Error_Msg, except
98 -- that the prefix is info: instead of error: and the error count is
99 -- not incremented. The prefix may be suppressed by setting the global
100 -- variable Info_Prefix_Suppress to True.
101
102 procedure Error_Msg_Output (Msg : String; Info : Boolean);
103 -- Output given message, with insertions, to current message output file.
104 -- The second argument is True for an info message, false for a normal
105 -- warning or error message. Normally this is not called directly, but
106 -- rather only by Error_Msg or Error_Msg_Info. It is called directly
107 -- when the caller must control whether the output goes to stderr or
108 -- stdout (Error_Msg_Output always goes to the current output file).
109
110 procedure Finalize_Binderr;
111 -- Finalize error output for one file
112
113 procedure Initialize_Binderr;
114 -- Initialize error output for one file
