obtained gcc-4.6.4.tar.bz2 from upstream website;upstream
verified gcc-4.6.4.tar.bz2.sig;
imported gcc-4.6.4 source tree from verified upstream tarball.
downloading a git-generated archive based on the 'upstream' tag
should provide you with a source tree that is binary identical
to the one extracted from the above tarball.
if you have obtained the source via the command 'git clone',
however, do note that line-endings of files in your working
directory might differ from line-endings of the respective
files in the upstream repository.

These could + -- be generated by building trees for corresponding declarations and then + -- analyzing these trees, but there are three reasons for not doing this + -- in some cases: + + -- 1. The declarations would require more tree nodes + + -- 2. In some cases, the elaboration of these types is associated + -- with internal nodes in the tree. + + -- 3. For some types, notably class wide types, there is no Ada + -- declaration that would correspond to the desired entity. + + -- So instead, implicit types are constructed by simply creating an + -- appropriate entity with the help of routines in this package. These + -- entities are fully decorated, as described in Einfo (just as though + -- they had been created by the normal analysis procedure). + + -- The type declaration declaring an Itype must be analyzed with checks + -- off because this declaration has not been inserted in the tree (if it + -- has been then it is not an Itype), and hence checks that would be + -- generated during the analysis cannot be inserted in the tree. At any + -- rate, Itype analysis should always be done with checks off, otherwise + -- duplicate checks will most likely be emitted. + + -- Unlike types declared explicitly, implicit types are defined on first + -- use, which means that Gigi detects the use of such types, and defines + -- them at the point of the first use automatically. + + -- Although Itypes are not explicitly declared, they are associated with + -- a specific node in the tree (roughly the node that caused them to be + -- created), via the Associated_Node_For_Itype field. This association is + -- used particularly by New_Copy_Tree, which uses it to determine whether + -- or not to copy a referenced Itype. If the associated node is part of + -- the tree to be copied by New_Copy_Tree, then (since the idea of the + -- call to New_Copy_Tree is to create a complete duplicate of a tree, + -- as though it had appeared separately in the source), the Itype in + -- question is duplicated as part of the New_Copy_Tree processing. + + -- As a consequence of this copying mechanism, the association between + -- Itypes and associated nodes must be one-to-one: several Itypes must + -- not share an associated node. For example, the semantic decoration + -- of an array aggregate generates several Itypes: for each index subtype + -- and for the array subtype. The associated node of each index subtype + -- is the corresponding range expression. + + -- Notes on the use of the Parent field of an Itype + + -- In some cases, we do create a declaration node for an itype, and in + -- such cases, the Parent field of the Itype points to this declaration + -- in the normal manner. This case can be detected by checking for a + -- non-empty Parent field referencing a declaration whose Defining_Entity + -- is the Itype in question. + + -- In some other cases, where we don't generate such a declaration, as + -- described above, the Itype is attached to the tree implicitly by being + -- referenced elsewhere, e.g. as the Etype of some object. In this case + -- the Parent field may be Empty. + + -- In other cases where we don't generate a declaration for the Itype, + -- the Itype may be attached to an arbitrary node in the tree, using + -- the Parent field. This Parent field may even reference a declaration + -- for a related different entity (hence the description of the tests + -- needed for the case where a declaration for the Itype is created). + + ------------------ + -- Create_Itype -- + ------------------ + + function Create_Itype + (Ekind : Entity_Kind; + Related_Nod : Node_Id; + Related_Id : Entity_Id := Empty; + Suffix : Character := ' '; + Suffix_Index : Nat := 0; + Scope_Id : Entity_Id := Current_Scope) return Entity_Id; + -- Used to create a new Itype + -- + -- Related_Nod is the node for which this Itype was created. It is + -- set as the Associated_Node_For_Itype of the new Itype. The Sloc of + -- the new Itype is that of this node. + -- + -- Related_Id is present only if the implicit type name may be referenced + -- as a public symbol, and thus needs a unique external name. The name + -- is created by a call to: + -- + -- New_External_Name (Chars (Related_Id), Suffix, Suffix_Index, 'T') + -- + -- If the implicit type does not need an external name, then the + -- Related_Id parameter is omitted (and hence Empty). In this case + -- Suffix and Suffix_Index are ignored and the implicit type name is + -- created by a call to Make_Temporary. + -- + -- Note that in all cases, the name starts with "T".
