[Ada] Initialize_Scalars should not clobber variable with address clause

Arnaud Charlet charlet@adacore.com
Mon Jun 14 10:17:00 GMT 2010


This patch prevents Initialize_Scalars from initializing scalars with
address clauses, and thus suppresses the annoying warning associated
with this initialization. The following should compile quietly (it used
to give a warning about needing pragma Import).

pragma Initialize_Scalars;
with System; use System;
procedure IS_Overlay (A : Address) is
   X : Integer;
   for X'Address use A;
begin
   null;
end;

Tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, committed on trunk

2010-06-14  Robert Dewar  <dewar@adacore.com>

	* exp_aggr.adb (Has_Address_Clause): Moved to Exp_Util, and there it
	is renamed as Has_Following_Address_Clause.
	* exp_ch3.adb (Needs_Simple_Initialization): Add Consider_IS argument
	to allow the caller to avoid Initialize_Scalars having an effect.
	(Expand_N_Object_Declaration): Do not do Initialize_Scalars stuff for
	scalars with an address clause specified.
	* exp_ch3.ads (Needs_Simple_Initialization): Add Consider_IS argument
	to allow the caller to avoid Initialize_Scalars having an effect.
	* exp_util.adb (Has_Following_Address_Clause): Moved here from Exp_Aggr
	(where it was called Has_Address_Clause).
	* exp_util.ads (Has_Following_Address_Clause): Moved here from Exp_Aggr
	(where it was called Has_Address_Clause).
	* freeze.adb (Warn_Overlay): Suppress message about overlaying causing
	problems for Initialize_Scalars (since we no longer initialize objects
	with an address clause.
