32 -- This package provides some useful utility subprograms that provide access
33 -- to source code information known at compile time. These subprograms are
34 -- intrinsic operations that provide information known to the compiler in
35 -- a form that can be embedded into the source program for identification
36 -- and logging purposes. For example, an exception handler can print out
37 -- the name of the source file in which the exception is handled.
39 package GNAT.Source_Info is
41 -- Note that this unit is Preelaborate, but not Pure, that's because the
42 -- functions here such as Line are clearly not pure functions, and normally
43 -- we mark intrinsic functions in a Pure unit as Pure, even though they are
46 -- Historical note: this used to be Pure, but that was when we marked all
47 -- intrinsics as not Pure, even in Pure units, so no problems arose.
49 function File return String with
50 Import, Convention => Intrinsic;
51 -- Return the name of the current file, not including the path information.
52 -- The result is considered to be a static string constant.
54 function Line return Positive with
55 Import, Convention => Intrinsic;
56 -- Return the current input line number. The result is considered to be a
59 function Source_Location return String with
60 Import, Convention => Intrinsic;
61 -- Return a string literal of the form "name:line", where name is the
62 -- current source file name without path information, and line is the
63 -- current line number. In the event that instantiations are involved,
64 -- additional suffixes of the same form are appended after the separating
65 -- string " instantiated at ". The result is considered to be a static
68 function Enclosing_Entity return String with
69 Import, Convention => Intrinsic;
70 -- Return the name of the current subprogram, package, task, entry or
71 -- protected subprogram. The string is in exactly the form used for the
72 -- declaration of the entity (casing and encoding conventions), and is
73 -- considered to be a static string constant. The name is fully qualified
74 -- using periods where possible (this is not always possible, notably in
75 -- the case of entities appearing in unnamed block statements.)
77 -- Note: if this function is used at the outer level of a generic package,
78 -- the string returned will be the name of the instance, not the generic
79 -- package itself. This is useful in identifying and logging information
80 -- from within generic templates.
82 function Compilation_Date return String with
83 Import, Convention => Intrinsic;
84 -- Returns date of compilation as a static string "mmm dd yyyy". This is
85 -- in local time form, and is exactly compatible with C macro __DATE__.
87 function Compilation_Time return String with
88 Import, Convention => Intrinsic;
89 -- Returns GMT time of compilation as a static string "hh:mm:ss". This is
90 -- in local time form, and is exactly compatible with C macro __TIME__.
