   -----------------------------
   -- Description of Approach --
   -----------------------------

   --  Every non-static call that is encountered by Sem_Res results in
   --  a call to Check_Elab_Call, with N being the call node, and Outer
   --  set to its default value of True.

   --  The goal of Check_Elab_Call is to determine whether or not the
   --  call in question can generate an access before elaboration
   --  error (raising Program_Error) either by directly calling a
   --  subprogram whose body has not yet been elaborated, or indirectly,
   --  by calling a subprogram whose body has been elaborated, but which
   --  contains a call to such a subprogram.

   --  The only calls that we need to look at at the outer level are
   --  calls that occur in elaboration code. There are two cases. The
   --  call can be at the outer level of elaboration code, or it can
   --  be within another unit, e.g. the elaboration code of a subprogram.

   --  In the case of an elaboration call at the outer level, we must
   --  trace all calls to outer level routines either within the current
   --  unit or to other units that are with'ed. For calls within the
   --  current unit, we can determine if the body has been elaborated
   --  or not, and if it has not, then a warning is generated.

   --  Note that there are two subcases. If the original call directly
   --  calls a subprogram whose body has not been elaborated, then we
   --  know that an ABE will take place, and we replace the call by
   --  a raise of Program_Error. If the call is indirect, then we don't
   --  know that the PE will be raised, since the call might be guarded
   --  by a conditional. In this case we set Do_Elab_Check on the call
   --  so that a dynamic check is generated, and output a warning.

   --  For calls to a subprogram in a with'ed unit, we require that
   --  a pragma Elaborate_All or pragma Elaborate be present, or that
   --  the referenced unit have a pragma Preelaborate, pragma Pure, or
   --  pragma Elaborate_Body. If none of these conditions is met, then
   --  a warning is generated that a pragma Elaborate_All may be needed.

   --  For the case of an elaboration call at some inner level, we are
   --  interested in tracing only calls to subprograms at the same level,
   --  i.e. those that can be called during elaboration. Any calls to
   --  outer level routines cannot cause ABE's as a result of the original
   --  call (there might be an outer level call to the subprogram from
   --  outside that causes the ABE, but that gets analyzed separately).

   --  Note that we never trace calls to inner level subprograms, since
   --  these cannot result in ABE's unless there is an elaboration problem
   --  at a lower level, which will be separately detected.

   --  Note on pragma Elaborate. The checking here assumes that a pragma
   --  Elaborate on a with'ed unit guarantees that subprograms within the
   --  unit can be called without causing an ABE. This is not in fact the
   --  case since pragma Elaborate does not guarantee the transitive
   --  coverage guaranteed by Elaborate_All. However, we leave this issue
   --  up to the binder, which has generates warnings if there are possible
   --  problems in the use of pragma Elaborate.

   --------------------------------------
   -- Instantiation Elaboration Errors --
   --------------------------------------

   --  A special case arises when an instantiation appears in a context
   --  that is known to be before the body is elaborated, e.g.

   --       generic package x is ...
   --       ...
   --       package xx is new x;
   --       ...
   --       package body x is ...

   --  In this situation it is certain that an elaboration error will
   --  occur, and an unconditional raise Program_Error statement is
   --  inserted before the instantiation, and a warning generated.

   --  The problem is that in this case we have no place to put the
   --  body of the instantiation. We can't put it in the normal place,
   --  because it is too early, and will cause errors to occur as a
   --  result of referencing entities before they are declared.

   --  Our approach in this case is simply to avoid creating the body
   --  of the instantiation in such a case. The instantiation spec is
   --  modified to include dummy bodies for all subprograms, so that
   --  the resulting code does not contain subprogram specs with no
   --  corresponding bodies.

   procedure Check_Elab_Call
     (N            : Node_Id;
      Outer_Scope  : Entity_Id := Empty;
      In_Init_Proc : Boolean   := False);
   --  Check a call for possible elaboration problems. The node N is either
   --  an N_Function_Call or N_Procedure_Call_Statement node. The Outer_Scope
   --  argument indicates whether this is an outer level call from Sem_Res
   --  (Outer_Scope set to Empty), or an internal recursive call (Outer_Scope
   --  set to entity of outermost call, see body). Flag In_Init_Proc should be
   --  set whenever the current context is a type init proc.

   procedure Check_Elab_Calls;
   --  Not all the processing for Check_Elab_Call can be done at the time
   --  of calls to Check_Elab_Call. This is because for internal calls, we
   --  need to wait to complete the check until all generic bodies have been
   --  instantiated. The Check_Elab_Calls procedure cleans up these waiting
   --  checks. It is called once after the completion of instantiation.

   procedure Check_Elab_Assign (N : Node_Id);
   --  N is either the left side of an assignment, or a procedure argument for
   --  a mode OUT or IN OUT formal. This procedure checks for a possible case
   --  of access to an entity from elaboration code before the entity has been
   --  initialized, and issues appropriate warnings.

   procedure Check_Elab_Instantiation
     (N           : Node_Id;
      Outer_Scope : Entity_Id := Empty);
   --  Check an instantiation for possible elaboration problems. N is an
   --  instantiation node (N_Package_Instantiation, N_Function_Instantiation,
   --  or N_Procedure_Instantiation), and Outer_Scope indicates if this is
   --  an outer level call from Sem_Ch12 (Outer_Scope set to Empty), or an
   --  internal recursive call (Outer_Scope set to scope of outermost call,
   --  see body for further details). The returned value is relevant only
   --  for an outer level call, and is set to False if an elaboration error
   --  is bound to occur on the instantiation, and True otherwise. This is
   --  used by the caller to signal that the body of the instance should
   --  not be generated (see detailed description in body).

   procedure Check_Task_Activation (N : Node_Id);
   --  at the point at which tasks are activated in a package body, check
   --  that the bodies of the tasks are elaborated.
