27-- This package contains the routine called when a fatal internal compiler
28-- error is detected. Calls to this routines cause termination of the
29-- current compilation with appropriate error output.
30
31package Comperr is
32
33 procedure Compiler_Abort
34 (X : String;
35 Code : Integer := 0);
36 -- Signals an internal compiler error. Never returns control. Depending
37 -- on processing may end up raising Unrecoverable_Error, or exiting
38 -- directly. The message output is a "bug box" containing the
39 -- string passed as an argument. The node in Current_Error_Node is used
40 -- to provide the location where the error should be signalled. The
41 -- message includes the node id, and the code parameter if it is positive.
42 -- Note that this is only used at the outer level (to handle constraint
43 -- errors or assert errors etc.) In the normal logic of the compiler we
44 -- always use pragma Assert to check for errors, and if necessary an
45 -- explicit abort is achieved by pragma Assert (False). Code is positive
46 -- for a gigi abort (giving the gigi abort code), zero for a front
47 -- end exception (with possible message stored in TSD.Current_Excep,
48 -- and negative (an unused value) for a GCC abort.

51 -- Use of gnat_bug.box File --
52 ------------------------------
53
54 -- When comperr generates the "bug box". The first two lines contain
55 -- information on the version number, type of abort, and source location.
56
9dfe12ae 57 -- Normally the remaining text is one of three possible forms
58 -- depending on Gnatvsn.Gnat_Version_Type (FSF, Public, GNATPRO).
59 -- See body of this package for the exact text used.
ee6ba406 60
9dfe12ae 61 -- In addition, an alternative mechanism exists for easily substituting
ee6ba406 62 -- different text for this message. Compiler_Abort checks for the
63 -- existence of the file "gnat_bug.box" in the current source path.
64 -- Most typically this file, if present, will be in the directory
65 -- containing the run-time sources.
66
67 -- If this file is present, then it is a plain ASCII file, whose
9dfe12ae 68 -- contents replace the remaining text. The lines in this file should be
69 -- 72 characters or less to avoid misformatting the right boundary of the
70 -- box. Note that the file does not contain the vertical bar characters or
71 -- any leading spaces in lines.
