   function Abstract_Interface_List (Typ : Entity_Id) return List_Id;
   --  Given a type that implements interfaces look for its associated
   --  definition node and return its list of interfaces.

   procedure Add_Access_Type_To_Process (E : Entity_Id; A : Entity_Id);
   --  Add A to the list of access types to process when expanding the
   --  freeze node of E.

   procedure Add_Global_Declaration (N : Node_Id);
   --  These procedures adds a declaration N at the library level, to be
   --  elaborated before any other code in the unit. It is used for example
   --  for the entity that marks whether a unit has been elaborated. The
   --  declaration is added to the Declarations list of the Aux_Decls_Node
   --  for the current unit. The declarations are added in the current scope,
   --  so the caller should push a new scope as required before the call.

   function Addressable (V : Uint) return Boolean;
   function Addressable (V : Int)  return Boolean;
   pragma Inline (Addressable);
   --  Returns True if the value of V is the word size of an addressable
   --  factor of the word size (typically 8, 16, 32 or 64).

   function Alignment_In_Bits (E : Entity_Id) return Uint;
   --  If the alignment of the type or object E is currently known to the
   --  compiler, then this function returns the alignment value in bits.

   procedure Apply_Compile_Time_Constraint_Error

      Loc    : Source_Ptr := No_Location;
      Rep    : Boolean    := True;
      Warn   : Boolean    := False);
   --  N is a subexpression which will raise constraint error when evaluated
   --  at runtime. Msg is a message that explains the reason for raising the
   --  exception. The last character is ? if the message is always a warning,
   --  even in Ada 95, and is not a ? if the message represents an illegality
   --  (because of violation of static expression rules) in Ada 95 (but not
   --  in Ada 83). Typically this routine posts all messages at the Sloc of
   --  node N. However, if Loc /= No_Location, Loc is the Sloc used to output
   --  the message. After posting the appropriate message, and if the flag
   --  Rep is set, this routine replaces the expression with an appropriate
   --  N_Raise_Constraint_Error node using the given Reason code. This node
   --  is then marked as being static if the original node is static, but
   --  sets the flag Raises_Constraint_Error, preventing further evaluation.
   --  The error message may contain a } or & insertion character. This
   --  normally references Etype (N), unless the Ent argument is given
   --  explicitly, in which case it is used instead. The type of the raise
   --  node that is built is normally Etype (N), but if the Typ parameter
   --  is present, this is used instead. Warn is normally False. If it is
   --  True then the message is treated as a warning even though it does
   --  not end with a ? (this is used when the caller wants to parameterize
   --  whether an error or warning is given.

   --  This is called when Typ, a predicated subtype, is used in a context
   --  which does not allow the use of a predicated subtype. Msg is passed
   --  to Error_Msg_FE to output an appropriate message using N as the
   --  location, and Typ as the entity. The caller must set up any insertions
   --  other than the & for the type itself. Note that if Typ is a generic
   --  actual type, then the message will be output as a warning, and a
   --  raise Program_Error is inserted using Insert_Action with node N as
   --  the insertion point. Node N also supplies the source location for
   --  construction of the raise node. If Typ is NOT a type with predicates
   --  this call has no effect.

   --  If T is an unconstrained type with defaulted discriminants, build a

   --  declaration in the tree before N, and return the entity of that
   --  subtype. Otherwise, simply return T.

   function Build_Discriminal_Subtype_Of_Component
     (T : Entity_Id) return Node_Id;
   --  Determine whether a record component has a type that depends on
   --  discriminants, and build actual subtype for it if so.

   procedure Build_Elaboration_Entity (N : Node_Id; Spec_Id : Entity_Id);
   --  Given a compilation unit node N, allocate an elaboration counter for
   --  the compilation unit, and install it in the Elaboration_Entity field
   --  of Spec_Id, the entity for the compilation unit.

   function Cannot_Raise_Constraint_Error (Expr : Node_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Returns True if the expression cannot possibly raise Constraint_Error.
   --  The response is conservative in the sense that a result of False does
   --  not necessarily mean that CE could be raised, but a response of True
   --  means that for sure CE cannot be raised.

   procedure Check_Later_Vs_Basic_Declarations
     (Decls          : List_Id;
      During_Parsing : Boolean);
   --  If During_Parsing is True, check for misplacement of later vs basic
   --  declarations in Ada 83. If During_Parsing is False, and the SPARK
   --  restriction is set, do the same: although SPARK 95 removes the
   --  distinction between initial and later declarative items, the distinction
   --  remains in the Examiner (JB01-005). Note that the Examiner does not
   --  count package declarations in later declarative items.

   --  Verify that the full declaration of type T has been seen. If not, place
   --  error message on node N. Used in object declarations, type conversions
   --  and qualified expressions.

   procedure Check_Nested_Access (Ent : Entity_Id);
   --  Check whether Ent denotes an entity declared in an uplevel scope, which
   --  is accessed inside a nested procedure, and set Has_Up_Level_Access flag
   --  accordingly. This is currently only enabled for VM_Target /= No_VM.

   procedure Check_Order_Dependence;
   --  Examine the actuals in a top-level call to determine whether aliasing
   --  between two actuals, one of which is writable, can make the call
   --  order-dependent.

   procedure Check_Potentially_Blocking_Operation (N : Node_Id);
   --  N is one of the statement forms that is a potentially blocking
   --  operation. If it appears within a protected action, emit warning.

   procedure Check_Unprotected_Access
     (Context : Node_Id;
      Expr    : Node_Id);
   --  Check whether the expression is a pointer to a protected component,
   --  and the context is external to the protected operation, to warn against
   --  a possible unlocked access to data.

   procedure Check_VMS (Construct : Node_Id);
   --  Check that this the target is OpenVMS, and if so, return with no effect,
   --  otherwise post an error noting this can only be used with OpenVMS ports.
   --  The argument is the construct in question and is used to post the error

   --  a name is required by the syntax, and the identity, rather than merely
   --  the value of the node is needed (for example, the prefix of an Access

   --  test is conservative. If it cannot be sure that N is NOT an lvalue, then
   --  it returns True. It tries hard to get the answer right, but it is hard

   --  Given a node that is the root of a subtree, Copy_Tree copies the entire

   --  field references a copied node (descendents not linked to a copied node
   --  by the parent field are not copied, instead the copied tree references
   --  the same descendent as the original in this case, which is appropriate
   --  for non-syntactic fields such as Etype). The parent pointers in the
   --  copy are properly set. Copy_Tree (Empty/Error) returns Empty/Error.
   --  The one exception to the rule of not copying semantic fields is that
   --  any implicit types attached to the subtree are duplicated, so that
   --  the copy contains a distinct set of implicit type entities. Thus this
   --  function is used when it is necessary to duplicate an analyzed tree,
   --  declared in the same or some other compilation unit. This function is

   --  in particular concerning the structure of itypes and the generation of
   --  public symbols.

   --  The Map argument, if set to a non-empty Elist, specifies a set of

   --  set to its default value No_Location, then the Sloc values of the
   --  nodes in the copy are simply copied from the corresponding original.
   --
   --  The Comes_From_Source indication is unchanged if New_Sloc is set to
   --  the default No_Location value, but is reset if New_Sloc is given, since
   --  in this case the result clearly is neither a source node or an exact
   --  copy of a source node.
   --
   --  The parameter New_Scope, if set to a value other than Empty, is the
   --  value to use as the Scope for any Itypes that are copied. The most
   --  typical value for this parameter, if given, is Current_Scope.
