package Stringt is
-- This package contains routines for handling the strings table which is
-- used to store string constants encountered in the source, and also those
-- additional string constants generated by compile time concatenation and
-- other similar processing.
-- A string constant in this table consists of a series of Char_Code values,
-- so that 16-bit character codes can be properly handled if this feature
-- is implemented in the scanner.
-- There is no guarantee that hashing is used in the implementation, although
-- it maybe. This means that the caller cannot count on having the same Id
-- value for two identical strings stored separately and also cannot count on
-- the two Id values being different.

--------------------------------------
procedure Initialize;
-- Initializes the strings table for a new compilation. Note that
-- Initialize must not be called if Tree_Read is used.
procedure Start_String;
-- Sets up for storing a new string in the table. To store a string, a
-- call is first made to Start_String, then successive calls are
-- made to Store_String_Character to store the characters of the string.
-- Finally, a call to End_String terminates the entry and returns it Id.
procedure Start_String (S : String_Id);
-- Like Start_String with no parameter, except that the contents of the
-- new string is initialized to be a copy of the given string. A test is
-- made to see if S is the last created string, and if so it is shared,
-- rather than copied, this can be particularly helpful for the case of
-- a continued concatenaion of string constants.
procedure Store_String_Char (C : Char_Code);
-- Store next character of string, see description above for Start_String
procedure Store_String_Chars (S : String);
-- Store character codes of given string in sequence
procedure Unstore_String_Char;
-- Undoes effect of previous Store_String_Char call, used in some error
-- situations of unterminated string constants.
function End_String return String_Id;
-- Terminates current string and returns its Id
function String_Length (Id : String_Id) return Nat;
-- Returns length of previously stored string
function Get_String_Char (Id : String_Id; Index : Int) return Char_Code;
-- Obtains the specified character from a stored string. The lower bound
-- of stored strings is always 1, so the range is 1 .. String_Length (Id).
function String_Equal (L, R : String_Id) return Boolean;
-- Determines if two string literals represent the same string
function String_Chars_Address return System.Address;
-- Return address of String_Chars table (used by Back_End call to Gigi)
function Strings_Address return System.Address;
-- Return address of Strings table (used by Back_End call to Gigi)
procedure Tree_Read;
-- Initializes internal tables from current tree file using Tree_Read.
-- Note that Initialize should not be called if Tree_Read is used.
-- Tree_Read includes all necessary initialization.
procedure Tree_Write;
-- Writes out internal tables to current tree file using Tree_Write
procedure Write_Char_Code (Code : Char_Code);
-- Procedure to write a character code value, used for debugging purposes
-- for writing character codes. If the character code is in the range
-- 16#20# .. 16#7A# or 16#7C# .. 16#7F# then the single graphic character
-- corresponding to the code is output. For any other codes in the range
-- 16#00# .. 16#FF#, the code is output as {hh} where hh is the two
-- digit hex value for the code. Codes greater than 16#FF# are output as
-- {hhhh} where hhhh is the four digit hex representation of the code
-- value (high order byte first). Note: the reason that we output the
-- code 7B (left brace) in hex is to avoid escape sequence confusion.
-- Hex letters are always in upper case.
procedure Write_String_Table_Entry (Id : String_Id);
-- Writes a string value with enclosing quotes to the current file using
-- routines in package Output. Does not write an end of line character.
-- This procedure is used for debug output purposes, and also for output
-- of strings specified by pragma Linker Option to the ali file. 7-bit
-- ASCII graphics (except for double quote and left brace) are output
-- literally. The double quote appears as two successive double quotes.
-- All other codes, are output as described for Write_Char_Code. For
-- example, the string created by folding "A" & Ascii.LF & "Hello" will
-- print as "A{0A}Hello".
