227 -- Documentation for Compiler Debug Flags --
228 --------------------------------------------
230 -- da Generate messages tracking semantic analyzer progress. A message
231 -- is output showing each node as it gets analyzed, expanded,
232 -- resolved, or evaluated. This option is useful for finding out
233 -- exactly where a bomb during semantic analysis is occurring.
235 -- db In Exp_Dbug, certain type names are encoded to include debugging
236 -- information. This debug switch causes lines to be output showing
237 -- the encodings used.
239 -- dc List names of units as they are compiled. One line of output will
240 -- be generated at the start of compiling each unit (package or
243 -- dd Dynamic allocation of tables messages generated. Each time a
244 -- table is reallocated, a line is output indicating the expansion.
246 -- de List the entity table
248 -- df Full tree/source print (includes withed units). Normally the tree
249 -- output (dt) or recreated source output (dg,do,ds) includes only
250 -- the main unit. If df is set, then the output in either case
251 -- includes all compiled units (see also dg,do,ds,dt). Note that to
252 -- be effective, this switch must be used in combination with one or
253 -- more of dt, dg, do or ds.
255 -- dg Print the source recreated from the generated tree. In the case
256 -- where the tree has been rewritten this output includes only the
257 -- generated code, not the original code (see also df,do,ds,dz).
258 -- This flag differs from -gnatG in that the output also includes
259 -- non-source generated null statements, and freeze nodes, which
260 -- are normally omitted in -gnatG mode.
262 -- dh Generates a table at the end of a compilation showing how the hash
263 -- table chains built by the Namet package are loaded. This is useful
264 -- in ensuring that the hashing algorithm (in Namet.Hash) is working
265 -- effectively with typical sets of program identifiers.
267 -- di Generate messages for visibility linking/delinking
269 -- dj Suppress "junk null check" for access parameters. This flag permits
270 -- Ada programs to pass null parameters to access parameters, and to
271 -- explicitly check such access values against the null literal.
272 -- Neither of these is valid Ada, but both were allowed in versions of
273 -- GNAT before 3.10, so this switch can ease the transition process.
275 -- dk Immediate kill on abort. Normally on an abort (i.e. a call to
276 -- Comperr.Compiler_Abort), the GNATBUG message is not given if
277 -- there is a previous error. This debug switch bypasses this test
278 -- and gives the message unconditionally (useful for debugging).
280 -- dl Generate unit load trace messages. A line of traceback output is
281 -- generated each time a request is made to the library manager to
284 -- dn Generate messages for node/list allocation. Each time a node or
285 -- list header is allocated, a line of output is generated. Certain
286 -- other basic tree operations also cause a line of output to be
287 -- generated. This option is useful in seeing where the parser is
290 -- do Print the source recreated from the generated tree. In the case
291 -- where the tree has been rewritten, this output includes only the
292 -- original code, not the generated code (see also df,dg,ds,dz).
294 -- dp Generate messages for parser scope stack push/pops. A line of
295 -- output by the parser each time the parser scope stack is either
296 -- pushed or popped. Useful in debugging situations where the
297 -- parser scope stack ends up incorrectly synchronized
299 -- dq In layout version 1.38, 2002/01/12, a circuit was implemented
300 -- to give decent default alignment to short records that had no
301 -- specific alignment set. This debug option restores the previous
302 -- behavior of giving such records poor alignments, typically 1.
303 -- This may be useful in dealing with transition.
305 -- dr Generate parser resynchronization messages. Normally the parser
306 -- resynchronizes quietly. With this debug option, two messages
307 -- are generated, one when the parser starts a resynchronization
308 -- skip, and another when it resumes parsing. Useful in debugging
309 -- inadequate error recovery situations.
311 -- ds Print the source recreated from the generated tree. In the case
312 -- where the tree has been rewritten this output includes both the
313 -- generated code and the original code with the generated code
314 -- being enlosed in curly brackets (see also df,do,ds,dz)
316 -- dt Print full tree. The generated tree is output (see also df,dy)
318 -- du Uncheck categorization pragmas. This debug switch causes the
319 -- elaboration control pragmas (Pure, Preelaborate, etc.) and the
320 -- categorization pragmas (Shared_Passive, Remote_Types, etc.) to be
321 -- ignored, so that normal checks are not made (this is particularly
322 -- useful for adding temporary debugging code to units that have
323 -- pragmas that are inconsistent with the debugging code added).
325 -- dv Output trace of overload resolution. Outputs messages for
326 -- overload attempts that involve cascaded errors, or where
327 -- an interpretation is incompatible with the context.
329 -- dw Write semantic scope stack messages. Each time a scope is created
330 -- or removed, a message is output (see the Sem_Ch8.Push_Scope and
331 -- Sem_Ch8.Pop_Scope subprograms).
333 -- dx Force expansion on, even if no code being generated. Normally the
334 -- expander is inhibited if no code is generated. This switch forces
335 -- expansion to proceed normally even if the backend is not being
336 -- called. This is particularly useful for debugging purposes when
337 -- using the front-end only version of the compiler (which normally
338 -- would never do any expansion).
340 -- dy Print tree of package Standard. Normally the tree print out does
341 -- not include package Standard, even if the -df switch is set. This
342 -- switch forces output of the internal tree built for Standard.
344 -- dz Print source of package Standard. Normally the source print out
345 -- does not include package Standard, even if the -df switch is set.
346 -- This switch forces output of the source recreated from the internal
347 -- tree built for Standard. Note that this differs from -gnatS in
348 -- that it prints from the actual tree using the normal Sprint
349 -- circuitry for printing trees.
351 -- dA Forces output of representation information, including full
352 -- information for all internal type and object entities, as well
353 -- as all user defined type and object entities including private
354 -- and incomplete types. This debug switch also automatically sets
355 -- the equivalent of -gnatR3m.
357 -- dB Output debug encodings for types and variants. See Exp_Dbug for
358 -- exact form of the generated output.
360 -- dC Output trace information showing the decisions made during
361 -- check suppression activity in unit Checks.
363 -- dD Delete new elaboration checks. This flag causes GNAT to return
364 -- to the 3.13a elaboration semantics, and to suppress the fixing
365 -- of two bugs. The first is in the context of inner routines in
366 -- dynamic elaboration mode, when the subprogram we are in was
367 -- called at elaboration time by a unit that was also compiled with
368 -- dynamic elaboration checks. In this case, if A calls B calls C,
369 -- and all are in different units, we need an elaboration check at
370 -- each call. These nested checks were only put in recently (see
371 -- version 1.80 of Sem_Elab) and we provide this debug flag to
372 -- revert to the previous behavior in case of regressions. The
373 -- other behavior reverted by this flag is the treatment of the
374 -- Elaborate_Body pragma in static elaboration mode. This used to
375 -- be treated as not needing elaboration checking, but in fact in
376 -- general Elaborate_All is still required because of nested calls.
378 -- dE Apply compile time elaboration checking for with relations between
379 -- predefined units. Normally no checks are made.
381 -- dF Front end data layout enabled. Normally front end data layout
382 -- is only enabled if the target parameter Backend_Layout is False.
383 -- This debugging switch enables it unconditionally.
385 -- dG Generate all warnings. Normally Errout suppresses warnings on
386 -- units that are not part of the main extended source, and also
387 -- suppresses warnings on instantiations in the main extended
388 -- source that duplicate warnings already posted on the template.
389 -- This switch stops both kinds of deletion and causes Errout to
390 -- post all warnings sent to it.
392 -- dH Inhibit call to gigi. This is useful for testing front end data
393 -- layout, and may be useful in other debugging situations where
394 -- you do not want gigi to intefere with the testing.
396 -- dI Inhibit internal name numbering in gnatDG listing. Any sequence of
397 -- the form <uppercase-letter><digits><lowercase-letter> appearing in
398 -- a name is replaced by <uppercase-letter>...<lowercase-letter>. This
399 -- is used in the fixed bugs run to minimize system and version
400 -- dependency in filed -gnatD or -gnatG output.
402 -- dK Kill all error messages. This debug flag suppresses the output
403 -- of all error messages. It is used in regression tests where the
404 -- error messages are target dependent and irrelevant.
406 -- dL Output trace information on elaboration checking. This debug
407 -- switch causes output to be generated showing each call or
408 -- instantiation as it is checked, and the progress of the recursive
409 -- trace through elaboration calls at compile time.
411 -- dM Assume all variables have been modified, and ignore current value
412 -- indications. This debug flag disconnects the tracking of constant
413 -- values (see Exp_Ch2.Expand_Current_Value).
415 -- dN Do not generate file name information in exception messages
417 -- dO Output immediate error messages. This causes error messages to
418 -- be output as soon as they are generated (disconnecting several
419 -- circuits for improvement of messages, deletion of duplicate
420 -- messages etc). Useful to diagnose compiler bombs caused by
421 -- erroneous handling of error situations
423 -- dP Do not check for controlled objects in preelaborable packages.
424 -- RM 10.2.1(9) forbids the use of library level controlled objects
425 -- in preelaborable packages, but this restriction is a huge pain,
426 -- especially in the predefined library units.
428 -- dQ Use old method for determining what goes on the secondary stack.
429 -- This disables some newer optimizations. The intent is to use this
430 -- temporarily to measure before/after efficiency. ???Remove this
431 -- when we are done (see Sem_Util.Requires_Transient_Scope).
433 -- dR Bypass the check for a proper version of s-rpc being present
434 -- to use the -gnatz? switch. This allows debugging of the use
435 -- of stubs generation without needing to have GLADE (or some
436 -- other PCS installed).
438 -- dS Omit conversion of fpt numbers to exact machine numbers in
439 -- non-static evaluation contexts (see Check_Non_Static_Context).
440 -- This is intended for testing out timing problems with this
441 -- conversion circuit.
443 -- dT Similar to dS, but omits the conversions only in the case where
444 -- the parent is not a constant declaration.
446 -- dU Enable garbage collection of unreachable entities. This enables
447 -- both the reachability analysis and changing the Is_Public and
448 -- Is_Eliminated flags.
450 -- dV Enable viewing of all symbols in debugger. Causes debug information
451 -- to be generated for all symbols, including internal symbols. This
452 -- is enabled by default for -gnatD, but this switch allows this to
453 -- be enabled without generating modified source files. Note that the
454 -- use of -gnatdV ensures in the dwarf/elf case that all symbols that
455 -- are present in the elf tables are also in the dwarf tables (which
456 -- seems to be required by some tools). Another effect of dV is to
457 -- generate full qualified names, including internal names generated
458 -- for blocks and loops.
460 -- dW Disable warnings when a possibly uninitialized scalar value is
461 -- passed to an IN OUT parameter of a procedure. This usage is a
462 -- quite improper bounded error [erroneous in Ada 83] situation,
463 -- and would normally generate a warning. However, to ease the
464 -- task of transitioning incorrect legacy code, we provide this
465 -- undocumented feature for suppressing these warnings.
467 -- dY Enable configurable run-time mode, just as though the System file
468 -- had Configurable_Run_Time_Mode set to True. This is useful in
469 -- testing high integrity mode.
471 -- dZ Generate listing showing the contents of the dispatch tables. Each
472 -- line has an internally generated number used for references between
473 -- tagged types and primitives. For each primitive the output has the
476 -- - Letter 'P' or letter 's': The former indicates that this
477 -- primitive will be located in a primary dispatch table. The
478 -- latter indicates that it will be located in a secondary
481 -- - Name of the primitive. In case of predefined Ada primitives
482 -- the text "(predefined)" is added before the name, and these
483 -- acronyms are used: SR (Stream_Read), SW (Stream_Write), SI
484 -- (Stream_Input), SO (Stream_Output), DA (Deep_Adjust), DF
485 -- (Deep_Finalize). In addition Oeq identifies the equality
486 -- operator, and "_assign" the assignment.
488 -- - If the primitive covers interface types, two extra fields
489 -- referencing other primitives are generated: "Alias" references
490 -- the primitive of the tagged type that covers an interface
491 -- primitive, and "AI_Alias" references the covered interface
494 -- - The expression "at #xx" indicates the slot of the dispatch
495 -- table occupied by such primitive in its corresponding primary
496 -- or secondary dispatch table.
498 -- - In case of abstract subprograms the text "is abstract" is
499 -- added at the end of the line.
501 -- d.a Force Target_Strict_Alignment to True, even on targets where it
502 -- would normally be false. Can be used for testing strict alignment
503 -- circuitry in the compiler.
505 -- d.b Dump back end types. During Create_Standard, the back end is
506 -- queried for all available types. This option shows them.
508 -- d.c Generate inline concatenation, instead of calling one of the
509 -- System.Concat_n.Str_Concat_n routines in cases where the latter
510 -- routines would normally be called.
512 -- d.d Disable atomic synchronization for all atomic variable references.
513 -- Pragma Enable_Atomic_Synchronization is ignored.
515 -- d.e Enable atomic synchronization for all atomic variable references.
516 -- Pragma Disable_Atomic_Synchronization is ignored, and also the
517 -- compiler switch -gnated is ignored.
519 -- d.f Suppress folding of static expressions. This of course results
520 -- in seriously non-conforming behavior, but is useful sometimes
521 -- when tracking down handling of complex expressions.
523 -- d.g Enables conversion of a raise statement into a goto when the
524 -- relevant handler is statically determinable. For now we only try
525 -- this if this debug flag is set. Later we will enable this more
526 -- generally by default.
528 -- d.h Minimize the creation of public internal symbols for concatenation
529 -- by enforcing a secondary stack-like handling of the final result.
530 -- The target of the concatenation is thus constrained in place and
531 -- initialized with the result instead of acting as its alias.
533 -- d.i Ignore all occurrences of pragma Warnings in the sources. This can
534 -- be used in particular to disable Warnings (Off) to check if any of
535 -- these statements are inappropriate.
537 -- d.k If an error message contains a reference to a location in an
538 -- internal unit, then suppress the line number in this reference.
540 -- d.j Generate listing of frontend inlined calls and inline calls passed
541 -- to the backend. This is useful to locate skipped calls that must be
542 -- inlined by the frontend.
544 -- d.l Use Ada 95 semantics for limited function returns. This may be
545 -- used to work around the incompatibility introduced by AI-318-2.
546 -- It is useful only in -gnat05 mode.
548 -- d.m When -gnatl is used, the normal output includes full listings of
549 -- all files in the extended main source (body/spec/subunits). If this
550 -- debug switch is used, then the full listing is given only for the
551 -- main source (this corresponds to a previous behavior of -gnatl and
552 -- is used for running the ACATS tests).
554 -- d.n Print source file names as they are loaded. This is useful if the
555 -- compiler has a bug -- these are the files that need to be included
558 -- d.o Conservative elaboration order for indirect calls. This causes
559 -- P'Access to be treated as a call in more cases.
561 -- d.r Forces the flag OK_To_Reorder_Components to be set in all record
562 -- base types that have no discriminants.
564 -- d.t The compiler has been modified (a fairly extensive modification)
565 -- to generate static dispatch tables for library level tagged types.
566 -- This debug switch disables this modification and reverts to the
567 -- previous dynamic construction of tables. It is there as a possible
568 -- work around if we run into trouble with the new implementation.
570 -- d.u Sets Modify_Tree_For_C mode in which tree is modified to make it
571 -- easier to generate code using a C compiler.
573 -- d.v Forces the flag OK_To_Reorder_Components to be set in all record
574 -- base types that have at least one discriminant (v = variant).
576 -- d.w This flag turns off the scanning of loops to detect possible
579 -- d.x No exception handlers in generated code. This causes exception
580 -- handlers to be eliminated from the generated code. They are still
581 -- fully compiled and analyzed, they just get eliminated from the
582 -- code generation step.
584 -- d.z Restore previous front-end support for Inline_Always. In default
585 -- mode, for targets that use the GCC back end, Inline_Always is
586 -- handled by the back end. Use of this switch restores the previous
587 -- handling of Inline_Always by the front end on such targets. For the
588 -- targets that do not use the GCC back end, this switch is ignored.
590 -- d.A There seems to be a problem with ASIS if we activate the circuit
591 -- for reading and writing the aspect specification hash table, so
592 -- for now, this is controlled by the debug flag d.A. The hash table
593 -- is only written and read if this flag is set.
595 -- d.B Generate a bug box when we see an abort_statement, even though
596 -- there is no bug. Useful for testing Comperr.Compiler_Abort: write
597 -- some code containing an abort_statement, and compile it with
598 -- -gnatd.B. There is nothing special about abort_statements; it just
599 -- provides a way to control where the bug box is generated. See "when
600 -- N_Abort_Statement" in package body Expander.
602 -- d.C Generate call to System.Concat_n.Str_Concat_n routines in cases
603 -- where we would normally generate inline concatenation code.
605 -- d.D For compatibility with some Ada 95 compilers implementing only
606 -- one feature of Ada 2005 (overriding keyword), disable errors on use
607 -- of overriding keyword in Ada 95 mode.
609 -- d.E Turn selected errors into warnings. This debug switch causes a
610 -- specific set of error messages into warnings. Setting this switch
611 -- causes Opt.Error_To_Warning to be set to True. The intention is
612 -- that this be used for messages representing upwards incompatible
613 -- changes to Ada 2012 that cause previously correct programs to be
614 -- treated as illegal now. The following cases are affected:
616 -- Errors relating to overlapping subprogram parameters for cases
617 -- other than IN OUT parameters to functions.
619 -- Errors relating to the new rules about not defining equality
620 -- too late so that composition of equality can be assured.
622 -- Errors relating to overriding indicators on protected subprogram
623 -- bodies (not an Ada 2012 incompatibility, but might cause errors
624 -- for existing programs assuming they were legal because GNAT
625 -- formerly allowed them).
627 -- d.F Sets GNATprove_Mode to True. This allows debugging the frontend in
628 -- the special mode used by GNATprove.
630 -- d.G Previously the compiler ignored calls via generic formal parameters
631 -- when doing the analysis for the static elaboration model. This is
632 -- now fixed, but we provide this debug flag to revert to the previous
633 -- situation of ignoring such calls to aid in transition.
635 -- d.H Sets ASIS_GNSA_Mode to True. This signals the front end to suppress
636 -- the call to gigi in ASIS_Mode.
638 -- d.I Do not ignore enum representation clauses in CodePeer mode.
639 -- The default of ignoring representation clauses for enumeration
640 -- types in CodePeer is good for the majority of Ada code, but in some
641 -- cases being able to change this default might be useful to remove
642 -- some false positives.
644 -- d.K Enable generation of contract-only procedures in CodePeer mode and
645 -- report a warning on subprograms for which the contract-only body
646 -- cannot be built. Currently reported on subprograms defined in
647 -- nested package specs that have some formal (or return type) whose
648 -- type is a private type defined in some enclosing package and that
649 -- have pre/postconditions.
651 -- d.L Normally the front end generates special expansion for conditional
652 -- expressions of a limited type. This debug flag removes this special
653 -- case expansion, leaving it up to the back end to handle conditional
654 -- expressions correctly.
656 -- d.M Relaxed RM semantics. This flag sets Opt.Relaxed_RM_Semantics
657 -- See Opt.Relaxed_RM_Semantics for more details.
659 -- d.N Enlarge entities by one node (but don't attempt to use this extra
660 -- node for storage of any flags or fields). This can be used to do
661 -- experiments on the impact of increasing entity sizes.
663 -- d.O Dump internal SCO tables. Before outputting the SCO information to
664 -- the ALI file, the internal SCO tables (SCO_Table/SCO_Unit_Table)
665 -- are dumped for debugging purposes.
667 -- d.P Previous non-optimized handling of length comparisons. Setting this
668 -- flag inhibits the effect of Optimize_Length_Comparison in Exp_Ch4.
669 -- This is there in case we find a situation where the optimization
670 -- malfunctions, to provide a work around.
672 -- d.Q Previous incomplete style checks for binary operators. Style checks
673 -- for token separation rules were incomplete and have been made
674 -- compliant with the documentation. For example, no warning was
675 -- issued for expressions such as 16-One or "A"&"B". Setting this flag
676 -- inhibits these new checks.
678 -- d.R As documented in lib-writ.ads, restrictions in the ali file can
679 -- have two forms, positional and named. The named notation is the
680 -- current preferred form, but the use of this debug switch will force
681 -- the use of the obsolescent positional form.
683 -- d.S Force Optimize_Alignment (Space) mode as the default
685 -- d.T Force Optimize_Alignment (Time) mode as the default
687 -- d.U Ignore indirect calls for static elaboration. The static
688 -- elaboration model is conservative, especially regarding indirect
689 -- calls. If you say Proc'Access, it will assume you might call
690 -- Proc. This can cause elaboration cycles at bind time. This flag
691 -- reverts to the behavior of earlier compilers, which ignored
694 -- d.V Do not verify the validity of SCIL files (CodePeer mode). When
695 -- generating SCIL files for CodePeer, by default we verify that the
696 -- SCIL is well formed before saving it on disk. This switch can be
697 -- used to disable this checking, either to improve speed or to shut
698 -- down a false positive detected during the verification.
700 -- d.W Print out debugging information for Walk_Library_Items, including
701 -- the order in which units are walked. This is primarily for use in
702 -- debugging CodePeer mode.
704 -- d.X A previous version of GNAT allowed indexing aspects to be redefined
705 -- on derived container types, while the default iterator was
706 -- inherited from the parent type. This nonstandard extension is
707 -- preserved temporarily for use by the modeling project under debug
710 -- d.Z Normally we always enable expansion in configurable run-time mode
711 -- to make sure we get error messages about unsupported features even
712 -- when compiling in -gnatc mode. But expansion is turned off in this
713 -- case if debug flag -gnatd.Z is used. This is to deal with the case
714 -- where we discover difficulties in this new processing.
716 -- d1 Error messages have node numbers where possible. Normally error
717 -- messages have only source locations. This option is useful when
718 -- debugging errors caused by expanded code, where the source location
719 -- does not give enough information.
721 -- d2 Suppress output of the error position flags for verbose form error
722 -- messages. The messages are still interspersed in the listing, but
723 -- without any error flags or extra blank lines. Also causes an extra
724 -- <<< to be output at the right margin. This is intended to be the
725 -- easiest format for checking conformance of ACATS B tests. This
726 -- flag also suppresses the additional messages explaining why a
727 -- non-static expression is non-static (see Sem_Eval.Why_Not_Static).
728 -- This avoids having to worry about these messages in ACATS testing.
730 -- d3 Causes Comperr to dump the contents of the node for which an abort
731 -- was detected (normally only the Node_Id of the node is output).
733 -- d4 Inhibits automatic krunching of predefined library unit file names.
734 -- Normally, as described in the spec of package Krunch, such files
735 -- are automatically krunched to 8 characters, with special treatment
736 -- of the prefixes Ada, System, and Interfaces. Setting this debug
737 -- switch disables this special treatment.
739 -- d5 Causes the tree read/write circuit to output detailed information
740 -- tracking the data that is read and written element by element.
742 -- d6 Normally access-to-unconstrained-array types are represented
743 -- using fat (double) pointers. Using this debug flag causes them
744 -- to default to thin. This can be used to test the performance
745 -- implications of using thin pointers, and also to test that the
746 -- compiler functions correctly with this choice.
748 -- d7 Normally a -gnatl or -gnatv listing includes the time stamp of the
749 -- source file and the time of the compilation. This debug flag can
750 -- be used to suppress this output, and also suppresses the message
751 -- with the version of the compiler. This is useful for regression
752 -- tests which need to have consistent output.
754 -- d8 This forces the packed stuff to generate code assuming the
755 -- opposite endianness from the actual correct value. Useful in
756 -- testing out code generation from the packed routines.
758 -- d9 This allows lock free implementation for protected objects
761 -- d.1 Sets Opt.Unnest_Subprogram_Mode to enable unnesting of subprograms.
762 -- This special pass does not actually unnest things, but it ensures
763 -- that a nested procedure does not contain any uplevel references.
764 -- See spec of Exp_Unst for full details.
766 -- d.2 Allow statements within declarative parts. This is not usually
767 -- allowed, but in some debugging contexts (e.g. testing the circuit
768 -- for unnesting of procedures), it is useful to allow this.
770 -- d.3 Output debugging information from Exp_Unst, including the name of
771 -- any unreachable subprograms that get deleted.
773 -- d.4 By default in case of an error during C generation, the .c or .h
774 -- file is deleted. This flag keeps the C file.
776 -- d.5 By default a subprogram imported generates a subprogram profile.
777 -- This debug flag disables this generation when generating C code,
778 -- assuming a proper #include will be used instead.

781 -- Documentation for Binder Debug Flags --
782 ------------------------------------------
784 -- da Normally if there is an elaboration circularity, then in describing
785 -- the cycle, links involving internal units are omitted, since they
786 -- are irrelevant and confusing. This debug flag causes all links to
787 -- be listed, and is useful when diagnosing circularities introduced
788 -- by incorrect changes to the run-time library itself.
790 -- db Output debug information from Better_Choice in Binde, which uses
791 -- various heuristics to determine elaboration order in cases where
792 -- multiple orders are valid.
794 -- dc List units as they are chosen. As units are selected for addition to
795 -- the elaboration order, a line of output is generated showing which
796 -- unit has been selected.
798 -- de Similar to the effect of -e (output complete list of elaboration
799 -- dependencies) except that internal units are included in the
802 -- di Normally gnatbind calls Read_Ali with Ignore_Errors set to
803 -- False, since the binder really needs correct version ALI
804 -- files to do its job. This debug flag causes Ignore_Errors
805 -- mode to be set for the binder (and is particularly useful
806 -- for testing ignore errors mode).
808 -- dn List details of manipulation of Num_Pred values during execution of
809 -- the algorithm used to determine a correct order of elaboration. This
810 -- is useful in diagnosing any problems in its behavior.
812 -- do Use older elaboration order preference. The new preference rules
813 -- prefer specs with no bodies to specs with bodies, and between two
814 -- specs with bodies, prefers the one whose body is closer to being
815 -- able to be elaborated. This is a clear improvement, but we provide
816 -- this debug flag in case of regressions. Note: -do is even older than
819 -- dp Use old elaboration order preference. The new preference rules
820 -- elaborate all units within a strongly connected component together,
821 -- with no other units in between. In particular, if a spec/body pair
822 -- can be elaborated together, it will be. In the new order, the binder
823 -- behaves as if every pragma Elaborate_All that would be legal is
824 -- present, even if it does not appear in the source code.
826 -- du List unit name and file name for each unit as it is read in
828 -- dv Verbose debugging printouts
830 -- dx Force the binder to read (and then ignore) the xref information
831 -- in ali files (used to check that read circuit is working OK).
