When 40 -- the visibility rules find such a potential ambiguity, the set of 41 -- possible interpretations must be attached to the identifier, and 42 -- overload resolution must be performed over the innermost enclosing 43 -- complete context. At the end of the resolution, either a single 44 -- interpretation is found for all identifiers in the context, or else a 45 -- type error (invalid type or ambiguous reference) must be signalled. 46 47 -- The set of interpretations of a given name is stored in a data structure 48 -- that is separate from the syntax tree, because it corresponds to 49 -- transient information. The interpretations themselves are stored in 50 -- table All_Interp. A mapping from tree nodes to sets of interpretations 51 -- called Interp_Map, is maintained by the overload resolution routines. 52 -- Both these structures are initialized at the beginning of every complete 53 -- context. 54 55 -- Corresponding to the set of interpretations for a given overloadable 56 -- identifier, there is a set of possible types corresponding to the types 57 -- that the overloaded call may return. We keep a 1-to-1 correspondence 58 -- between interpretations and types: for user-defined subprograms the type 59 -- is the declared return type. For operators, the type is determined by 60 -- the type of the arguments. If the arguments themselves are overloaded, 61 -- we enter the operator name in the names table for each possible result 62 -- type. In most cases, arguments are not overloaded and only one 63 -- interpretation is present anyway. 64 65 type Interp is record 66 Nam : Entity_Id; 67 Typ : Entity_Id; 68 Abstract_Op : Entity_Id := Empty; 69 end record; 70 71 -- Entity Abstract_Op is set to the abstract operation which potentially 72 -- disables the interpretation in Ada 2005 mode. 73 74 No_Interp : constant Interp := (Empty, Empty, Empty); 75 76 type Interp_Index is new Int; 77 78 --------------------- 79 -- Error Reporting -- 80 --------------------- 81 82 -- A common error is the use of an operator in infix notation on arguments 83 -- of a type that is not directly visible. Rather than diagnosing a type 84 -- mismatch, it is better to indicate that the type can be made use-visible 85 -- with the appropriate use clause. The global variable Candidate_Type is 86 -- set in Add_One_Interp whenever an interpretation might be legal for an 87 -- operator if the type were directly visible. This variable is used in 88 -- sem_ch4 when no legal interpretation is found. 89 90 Candidate_Type : Entity_Id; 91 92 ----------------- 93 -- Subprograms -- 94 ----------------- 95 96 procedure Init_Interp_Tables; 97 -- Invoked by gnatf when processing multiple files 98 99 procedure Collect_Interps (N : Node_Id); 100 -- Invoked when the name N has more than one visible interpretation.
