This patch introduces the 'Constructor attribute and implements its direct
attribute definition syntax within subprogram specification. This new shorthand
avoids having to come up with an arbitrary subprogram name and to type out the
constructor aspect. Before, constructors where defined through the aspect
Constructor, which has been removed.
Furthermore, this patch prepares for the expansion of direct attribute
definitions to other attributes.
gcc/ada/ChangeLog:
* errout.adb (Set_Msg_Node): Support N_Attribute_Reference and
nodes that denotes direct attribute definitions.
* exp_dbug.ads: Description for the encoding of direct attribute
definitions as tick are hard to deal in entity names.
* erroutc.adb
(Set_Msg_Insertion_Name): Replace underscore between prefix and
attribute name in direct attribute definitions; at this point we
lost the semantic information of node type and we resort to match
the string name as described in exp_dbug.adb.
* exp_aggr.adb (Convert_To_Positional): Use Needs_Construction and
Has_Default_Constructor.
* exp_ch3.adb (Build_Record_Init_Proc)
(Expand_N_Object_Declaration): Likewise.
* exp_attr.adb (Expand_N_Attribute_Reference): Likewise.
* exp_ch4.adb (Expand_N_Allocator): Likewise.
* exp_ch6.adb
(Prepend_Constructor_Procedure_Prologue): Use
Is_Constructor_Procedure.
(Make_Parent_Constructor_Call): Use
Direct_Attribute_Definition_Name.
* gen_il-fields.ads: Remove Constructor_List and Constructor_Name.
* gen_il-gen-gen_entities.adb: Likewise.
* einfo.ads (Needs_Construction): Add description.
(Has_Delayed_Aspects): Adjust indentation.
* par-ch13.adb (P_Attribute_Designators): Parse attribute
designators.
(P_Representation_Clause): Use P_Attribute_Designators.
* par-ch6.adb (P_Subprogram): Support attribute designators in
subprogram name.
(Rewrites_Entity_If_Direct_Attribute_Def): Fix the specification
node in case of direct attribute definitions.
* par-endh.adb (Check_End, Same_Label): Likewise.
* par.adb (P_Attribute_Designators): Specification.
* sem_attr.adb (Analyze_Attribute): Error when using 'Constructor
outside procedure specification.
(Analyze_Attribute): Add error handling code.
* sem_ch3.adb (Analyze_Aspect_Specifications): Likewise.
* sem_ch6.adb (Analyze_Direct_Attribute_Definition): Handle direct
attribute definitions. Add error handling code for the
'Construction attribute and set constructor flags when necessary.
(Analyze_Subprogram_Specification): Use
Analyze_Direct_Attribute_Definition.
* sem_util.adb (Direct_Attribute_Definition_Name): Name of
entities created for direct attribute definitions. We emit an
error if multiple attributes.
(Is_Direct_Attribute_Subp_Spec): Helper to check whether a
subprogram specification is a direct attribute definition.
(Is_Constructor_Procedure): Helper to check whether a subprogram
is a constructor procedure.
(Has_Default_Constructor): Check whether the default constructor
exists.
(Default_Constructor): Not used anymore.
(Parameter_Count): Likewise.
(Process_End_Label): Get_Attribute_Reference_Name_String encodes
also direct attribute definition end labels.
* sem_util.ads: Likewise.
* snames.ads-tmpl: Support for 'Constructor attribute.
* snames.adb-tmpl (Is_Direct_Attribute_Definition_Name): Helper to
check attributes allowed in direct attribute definitions.
* aspects.ads: Remove constructor aspect.
* sem_ch13.adb: Likewise.
