------------------------------------------------------------------------------
package Asis.Expressions is
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--  Asis.Expressions encapsulates a set of queries that operate on
--  An_Expression and An_Association elements.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--  --|D2005 start
--  It looks there is a problem with defining the result of Enclosing_Element
--  for expression components of normalized associations. The problem exists
--  for all kinds of associations having the normalized form and, respectively,
--  for the definitions of the corresponding queries that obtain the expression
--  from an association:
--
--    Component_Expression
--    Actual_Parameter
--    Discriminant_Expression
--
--  The following problem exists for a normalized association in case if the
--  corresponding expression (parameter) is given explicitly. All these queries
--  say that in this case they return an Element representing the corresponding
--  expression as it is given in the program text, this Element is not
--  Is_Normalized. And they say that the Enclosing_Element for such expression
--  Element is the argument An_Association Element. And now the question^
--
--  Consider the following subprogram declaration:
--
--     procedure P (X : Integer);
--
--  and the corresponding call:
--
--     P (13);
--
--  Suppose Call_Of_P is an Element representing this call. Now consider the
--  following ASIS-based code (all the variables are of Asis.Element type:
--
--  A := Call_Statement_Parameters      --  A represents non-normalized
--         (Statement => Call_Of_P,     --  parameter association
--          Normalized = False) (1);
--
--  NA := Call_Statement_Parameters      --  NA represents normalized
--          (Statement => Call_Of_P,     --  parameter association
--           Normalized = True) (1);
--
--  A_Actual  := Actual_Parameter (A);   --  actual parameter from
--                                       --  non-normalized association
--
--  NA_Actual := Actual_Parameter (NA);  --  actual parameter from
--                                       --  normalized association
--
--  And now the first question: both A_Actual and NA_Actual represent the same
--  numeric literal from the source code. And what should be the value of
--  Is_Equal (A_Actual, NA_Actual)? I would say it should be True. But if it
--  is really so, consider the following:
--
--  A_Actual_Enclosing  := Enclosing_Element (A_Actual);
--  NA_Actual_Enclosing := Enclosing_Element (NA_Actual);
--
--  According to the wording of ASIS section 17.22 (function Actual_Parameter)
--  Is_Equal (A_Actual_Enclosing, A) and Is_Equal (NA_Actual_Enclosing, NA)!
--  And for sure Is_Equal (A, NA) is False! That is, Enclosing_Element should
--  return two DIFFERENT results when applied to THE SAME argument ("different"
--  and "the same" means not Is_Equal () and Is_Equal ()).
--
--  This definitely needs clarification!

--  17.1  function Corresponding_Expression_Type
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   function Corresponding_Expression_Type
     (Expression : Asis.Expression)
      return       Asis.Declaration;

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--  Expression  - Specifies the expression to query
--
--  Returns the type declaration for the type or subtype of the expression.
--  This query does not "unwind" subtypes or derived types to get to the
--  Corresponding_First_Subtype or Corresponding_Parent_Subtype declarations.
--  For example, for the following program text:
--
--      type Int is range -5_000 .. 5_000;
--      type My_Int is new Int;
--      type Good_Int is new My_Int;
--      Var: Good_Int;
--
--  The type declaration for Good_Int should be returned. The "unwinding"
--  should not occur. The type declaration for either My_Int or Int should not
--  be returned.
--
--  Returns a Nil_Element if the argument Expression does not represent an Ada
--  expression having an Ada type, including the following classes:
--
--   - Naming expressions that name packages, subprograms, tasks, etc.  These
--     expressions do have a Corresponding_Name_Definition and a
--     Corresponding_Name_Declaration. Although task objects do have
--     a type, this query is limited, on purpose.  Thus, when a naming
--     expression is given to this query (for packages, subprograms,
--     tasks, etc.), this query will return Nil_Element.  As the
--     Application Note below indicates, if any further information
--     is needed, the element should be queried by
--     Corresponding_Name_Definition or Corresponding_Name_Declaration,
--     which should eventually return an A_Task_Type_Declaration element.
--
--   - When An_Identifier Element representing an attribute designator is
--     passed as the actual to this query.
--
--   - The Actual_Parameter Expression from A_Pragma_Argument_Association for a
--     Pragma may or may not have a Corresponding_Expression_Type.
--
--   - An_Attribute_Reference Element also may or may not have a
--     Corresponding_Expression_Type;
--
--   - An enumeration_aggregate which is a part of
--     enumeration_representation_clause.
--
--  Returns a Nil_Element, if statically determinable type of Expression is a
--  class-wide type or an anonymous type.
--
--  --|AN Application Note:
--  --|AN
--  --|AN If the returned declaration is Nil, an application should make its
--  --|AN own analysis based on Corresponding_Name_Definition or
--  --|AN Corresponding_Name_Declaration to get more information about the
--  --|AN argument, including the static type resolution for class-wide
--  --|AN expressions, if needed. Use Enclosing_Element to determine if
--  --|AN Expression is from pragma argument association. If for such an
--  --|AN expression, Corresponding_Name_Definition raises ASIS_Failed (with a
--  --|AN Status of Value_Error), this An_Expression element does not represent
--  --|AN a normal Ada expression at all and does not follow normal Ada
--  --|AN semantic rules.
--  --|AN For example, "pragma Private_Part (Open => Yes);", the "Yes"
--  --|AN expression may simply be a "keyword" that is specially recognized by
--  --|AN the implementor's compilation system and may not refer to any
--  --|AN declared object.
--
--  Appropriate Element_Kinds:
--       An_Expression
--

--       Not_An_Element
--       A_Declaration

--  I would propose to add to the ASIS interface the following query (the
--  wording below may need revision):

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--  17.#???  function Corresponding_Expression_Type_Definition
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   function Corresponding_Expression_Type_Definition
     (Expression : Asis.Expression)
      return       Asis.Element;

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--  Expression  - Specifies the expression to query
--
--  This query is similar to Corresponding_Expression_Type, but it returns not
--  the *declaration* of the argument expression type, but the *definition*
--  of the argument expression type. This allows to handle the case when the
--  type of the argument expression is anonymous.
--
--  This query returns Nil_Element if and only if the argument Expression does
--  not have type in Ada sense.
--
--  Appropriate Element_Kinds:
--       An_Expression
--
--  Returns Element_Kinds:
--        Not_An_Element

--  Returns a Nil_Element if the argument is a dispatching call.
--
--  --|D2005 start
--
--  The previous statement is, first of all, wrong - for this query, the
--  argument of this query in no case can be a call. Most probably, the idea is
--  to say that if argument is a reference to a called subprogram or to a
--  formal parameter from a dispatching call, then the result is Nil_Element.
--
--  Second, there is no real need to return Nil_Element in these cases.
--  According to the Ada Standard, for a dispatching call
--
--     Proc (X, Y, Z => Val);
--
--  both Proc and Z can and should be determined statically (see RM 2005
--  3.9.2 (2)): Proc should denote the reference to the dispatching subprogram
--  (that is, to the top-most procedure in the derivation class that can be
--  selected at run-time for this call), and Z - the corresponding formal
--  parameter from the declaration of Proc.
--
--  Third, ASIS has a serious gap related to processing of dispatching calls.
--  Corresponding_Called_Entity/Corresponding_Called_Function queries return
--  Nil_Element if their argument Is_Dispatching_Call, so there is no way to
--  get any information about the profile of the called subprogram.
--
--  If we remove this limitation (to return Nil_Element for references to
--  dispatching operations and their formal parameters) from this query, this
--  would (first) make this query with the Ada static semantic as it is
--  described in the Ada Standard, and (second) give to an application means
--  to get the complete information about the profile of the called subprogram,
--  and, moreover, about the top of the hierarchy of the subprograms that can
--  be  called at run time.
--
--  Starting from 2007.02.20, the GNAT ASIS implementation supports this
--  approach.
--
--  --|D2005 end
