package Sem_Res is

   --  As described in Sem_Ch4, the type resolution proceeds in two phases.
   --  The first phase is a bottom up pass that is achieved during the
   --  recursive traversal performed by the Analyze procedures. This phase
   --  determines unambiguous types, and collects sets of possible types
   --  where the interpretation is potentially ambiguous.

   --  On completing this bottom up pass, which corresponds to a call to
   --  Analyze on a complete context, the Resolve routine is called which
   --  performs a top down resolution with recursive calls to itself to
   --  resolve operands.

   --  Since in practice a lot of semantic analysis has to be postponed until
   --  types are known (e.g. static folding, setting of suppress flags), the
   --  Resolve routines also complete the semantic analyze, and also call the
   --  expander for possibly expansion of the completely type resolved node.

   procedure Resolve (N : Node_Id; Typ : Entity_Id);
   procedure Resolve (N : Node_Id; Typ : Entity_Id; Suppress : Check_Id);
   --  Top level type-checking procedure, called in a complete context. The
   --  construct N, which is a subexpression, has already been analyzed, and
   --  is required to be of type Typ given the analysis of the context (which
   --  uses the information gathered on the bottom up phase in Analyze). The
   --  resolve routines do various other processing, e.g. static evaluation.
   --  If a Suppress argument is present, then the resolution is done with the
   --  specified check suppressed (can be All_Checks to suppress all checks).

   procedure Resolve_Discrete_Subtype_Indication
     (N   : Node_Id;
      Typ : Entity_Id);
   --  Resolve subtype indications in choices (case statements and
   --  aggregates) and in index constraints. Note that the resulting Etype
   --  of the subtype indication node is set to the Etype of the contained
   --  range (i.e. an Itype is not constructed for the actual subtype).

   procedure Resolve_Entry (Entry_Name : Node_Id);
   --  Find name of entry being called, and resolve prefix of name with its
   --  own type. For now we assume that the prefix cannot be overloaded and
   --  the name of the entry plays no role in the resolution.

   procedure Analyze_And_Resolve (N : Node_Id);
   procedure Analyze_And_Resolve (N : Node_Id; Typ : Entity_Id);
   procedure Analyze_And_Resolve
     (N        : Node_Id;
      Typ      : Entity_Id;
      Suppress : Check_Id);
   procedure Analyze_And_Resolve
     (N        : Node_Id;
      Suppress : Check_Id);
   --  These routines combine the effect of Analyze and Resolve. If a Suppress
   --  argument is present, then the analysis is done with the specified check
   --  suppressed (can be All_Checks to suppress all checks). These checks are
   --  suppressed for both the analysis and resolution. If the type argument
   --  is not present, then the Etype of the expression after the Analyze
   --  call is used for the Resolve.

   procedure Check_Parameterless_Call (N : Node_Id);
   --  Several forms of names can denote calls to entities without para-
   --  meters. The context determines whether the name denotes the entity
   --  or a call to it. When it is a call, the node must be rebuilt
   --  accordingly (deprocedured, in A68 terms) and renalyzed to obtain
   --  possible interpretations.
   --
   --  The name may be that of an overloadable construct, or it can be an
   --  explicit dereference of a prefix that denotes an access to subprogram.
   --  In that case, we want to convert the name into a call only if the
   --  context requires the return type of the subprogram.  Finally, a
   --  parameterless protected subprogram appears as a selected component.
   --
   --  The parameter T is the Typ for the corresponding resolve call.

   procedure Pre_Analyze_And_Resolve (N : Node_Id; T : Entity_Id);
   --  Performs a pre-analysis of expression node N. During pre-analysis
   --  N is analyzed and then resolved against type T, but no expansion
   --  is carried out for N or its children. For more info on pre-analysis
   --  read the spec of Sem.

   procedure Pre_Analyze_And_Resolve (N : Node_Id);
   --  Same, but use type of node because context does not impose a single
   --  type.
