--  This package contains routines involved in tagged types and dynamic
--  dispatching.

with Types; use Types;
package Sem_Disp is

   procedure Check_Controlling_Formals (Typ : Entity_Id; Subp : Entity_Id);
   --  Check that all controlling parameters of Subp are of type Typ, that
   --  defaults for controlling parameters are tag-indeterminate, and that the
   --  nominal subtype of the parameters and result statically match the first
   --  subtype of the controlling type. Issues appropriate error messages if
   --  any of these requirements is not met.

   procedure Check_Dispatching_Call (N : Node_Id);
   --  Check if the call N is a dispatching call. The subprogram is known to be
   --  a dispatching operation. The call is dispatching if all the controlling
   --  actuals are dynamically tagged. This procedure is called after overload
   --  resolution, so the call is known to be unambiguous.

   procedure Check_Dispatching_Operation (Subp, Old_Subp : Entity_Id);
   --  Add Subp to the list of primitive operations of the corresponding type
   --  if it has a parameter of this type and is defined at a proper place for
   --  primitive operations (new primitives are only defined in package spec,
   --  overridden operation can be defined in any scope). If Old_Subp is not
   --  Empty we are in the overriding case. If the tagged type associated with
   --  Subp is a concurrent type (case that occurs when the type is declared
   --  in a generic because the analysis of generics disables generation of the
   --  corresponding record) then this routine does not add Subp to the list of
   --  primitive operations but leaves Subp decorated as dispatching operation
   --  to enable checks associated with the Object.Operation notation.

   procedure Check_Operation_From_Incomplete_Type
     (Subp : Entity_Id;
      Typ  : Entity_Id);
   --  If a primitive operation was defined for the incomplete view of the
   --  type, and the full type declaration is a derived type definition,
   --  the operation may override an inherited one.
   --  Need more description here, what are the parameters, and what does
   --  this call actually do???

   procedure Check_Operation_From_Private_View (Subp, Old_Subp : Entity_Id);
   --  Add Old_Subp to the list of primitive operations of the corresponding
   --  tagged type if it is the full view of a private tagged type. The Alias
   --  of Old_Subp is adjusted to point to the inherited procedure of the
   --  full view because it is always this one which has to be called.
   --  What is Subp used for???

   function Covered_Interface_Op (Prim : Entity_Id) return Entity_Id;
   --  Returns the interface primitive that Prim covers, when its controlling
   --  type has progenitors.

   function Find_Controlling_Arg (N : Node_Id) return Node_Id;
   --  Returns the actual controlling argument if N is dynamically tagged, and
   --  Empty if it is not dynamically tagged.

   function Find_Dispatching_Type (Subp : Entity_Id) return Entity_Id;
   --  Check whether the subprogram Subp is dispatching, and find the tagged
   --  type of the controlling argument or arguments. Returns Empty if Subp
   --  is not a dispatching operation.

   function Find_Primitive_Covering_Interface
     (Tagged_Type : Entity_Id;
      Iface_Prim  : Entity_Id) return Entity_Id;
   --  Search the homonym chain for the primitive of Tagged_Type that covers
   --  Iface_Prim. The homonym chain traversal is required to catch primitives
   --  associated with the partial view of private types when processing the
   --  corresponding full view. If the entity is not found, then search for it
   --  in the list of primitives of Tagged_Type. This latter search is needed
   --  when the interface primitive is covered by a private subprogram. If the
   --  primitive has not been covered yet then return the entity that will be
   --  overridden when the primitive is covered (that is, return the entity
   --  whose alias attribute references the interface primitive). If none of
   --  these entities is found then return Empty.

   --  Given the spec of a subprogram, this function gathers any inherited
   --  subprograms from direct inheritance or via interfaces. The result is an
   --  array of Entity_Ids of the specs of inherited subprograms. Returns a
   --  null array if passed an Empty spec id. Note that the returned array
   --  only includes subprograms and generic subprograms (and excludes any
   --  other inherited entities, in particular enumeration literals). If
   --  No_Interfaces is True, only return inherited subprograms not coming
   --  from an interface. If Interfaces_Only is True, only return inherited
   --  subprograms from interfaces. Otherwise, subprograms inherited directly
   --  come first, starting with the closest ancestors, and are followed by
   --  subprograms inherited from interfaces. At most one of No_Interfaces
   --  and Interfaces_Only should be True.
   --
   --  If One_Only is set, the search is discontinued as soon as one entry
   --  is found. In this case the resulting array is either null or contains
   --  exactly one element.

   function Is_Dynamically_Tagged (N : Node_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Used to determine whether a call is dispatching, i.e. if it is
   --  an expression of a class_Wide type, or a call to a function with
   --  controlling result where at least one operand is dynamically tagged.
   --  Also used to determine whether an entity has a class-wide type, or a
   --  function call that dispatches on the result. Used to verify that all the
   --  dependent expressions in a conditional expression are equally tagged.

   function Is_Null_Interface_Primitive (E : Entity_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Returns True if E is a null procedure that is an interface primitive

   function Is_Overriding_Subprogram (E : Entity_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Returns True if E is an overriding subprogram

   function Is_Tag_Indeterminate (N : Node_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Returns true if the expression N is tag-indeterminate. An expression
   --  is tag-indeterminate if it is a call that dispatches on result, and all
   --  controlling operands are also indeterminate. Such a function call may
   --  inherit a tag from an enclosing call.

   --  Replace an implicit dispatching operation of the type Tagged_Type
   --  with an explicit one. Prev_Op is an inherited primitive operation which
   --  is overridden by the explicit declaration of New_Op. Is_Wrapper is
   --  True when New_Op is an internally generated wrapper of a controlling
   --  function. The caller checks that Tagged_Type is indeed a tagged type.

   procedure Propagate_Tag (Control : Node_Id; Actual : Node_Id);
   --  If a function call is tag-indeterminate, its controlling argument is
   --  found in the context: either an enclosing call, or the left-hand side
   --  of the enclosing assignment statement. The tag must be propagated
   --  recursively to the tag-indeterminate actuals of the call.
   --  Need clear description of the parameters Control and Actual, especially
   --  since the comments above refer to actuals in the plural ???
