61 1 Overview
62 **********
63
64 The Emacs mode for programming in Ada helps the user in reading existing
65 code and facilitates developing new code.
66
67 Cross-reference information output by the compiler is used to provide
68 powerful code navigation (jump to definition, find all uses, etc).
69
70 When you open a file with a file extension of '.ads' or '.adb', Emacs
71 will automatically load and activate Ada mode.
72
73 Ada mode works without any customization, if you are using the GNAT
74 compiler (<https://libre2.adacore.com/>) and the GNAT default naming
75 convention.
76
77 You must customize a few things if you are using a different file
78 naming convention or compiler; *Note Non-standard file names::, *Note
79 Other compiler::.
80
81 In addition, you may want to customize the indentation,
82 capitalization, and other things; *Note Other customization::.
83
84 Finally, for large Ada projects, you will want to set up an Emacs Ada
85 mode project file for each project; *Note Project files::. Note that
86 these are different from the GNAT project files used by the GNAT tools.
87
88 *Note Debuggers: (emacs)Debuggers, for general information on
89 debugging.

94 2 Installation
95 **************
96
97 Ada mode requires Emacs 24.2 or greater.
98
99 Ada mode is distributed in the Gnu ELPA package archive; it can be
100 installed via 'M-x list-packages' (*note (emacs)Packages::). You must
101 first enable packages in your '~/.emacs', _after_ customizing
102 'Info-default-directory-list' (if you do that):
103
104 (package-initialize)
105
106 Ada mode is also available as a separate distribution, from the Emacs
107 Ada mode website
108 <http://stephe-leake.org/emacs/ada-mode/emacs-ada-mode.html>.
109
110 For installing the separate distribution, see the 'README' file in
111 the distribution.
112
113 To see what version of Ada mode you have installed, invoke 'M-x
114 ada-mode-version'.

123
124 2.1 gnatinspect
125 ===============
126
127 Ada mode has experimental support for the new AdaCore cross reference
128 tool 'gnatinspect', which supports Ada, C, C++, and any other language
129 for which gcc provices the '-fdump-xref'.
130
131 'gnatinspect' is distributed as part of 'gnatcoll'. Ada mode
132 requires the very latest version, in 'gnatcoll 1.7w' distributed with
133 GNATPro 7.2.
134
135 To build 'gnatinspect', assuming gnat-7.2 is installed in
136 '/usr/gnat-7.2':
137
138 tar xf ~/Downloads/gnatcoll-1.7w-src.tgz
139 cd gnatcoll-1.7w-src
140 ./configure --prefix=/usr/gnat-7.2

147 2.2 Upgrading from previous versions
148 ====================================
149
150 See the file NEWS for more details; here we summarize only important
151 user interface changes.
152
153 'from 5.0.1'
154 Nothing to do.
155
156 'from 4.01'
157 There are many user interface and API changes between 4.01 and
158 5.0.1; we only document those that may be hard to diagnose here.
159
160 'prog-mode-hook' is no longer run by 'ada-mode'; 'ada-mode' is no
161 longer derived from 'prog-mode'. Use 'ada-mode-hook' instead.

166 3 Customizing Ada mode
167 **********************
168
169 Here we assume you are familiar with setting variables in Emacs, either
170 thru 'customize' or in elisp (in your '.emacs' file). For a basic
171 introduction to customize, elisp, and Emacs in general, see the tutorial
172 ('C-h t').

183
184 3.1 Non-standard file names
185 ===========================
186
187 By default, Ada mode is configured to use the GNAT file naming
188 convention, where file names are a simple modification of the Ada names,
189 and the extension for specs and bodies are '.ads' and '.adb',
190 respectively.
191
192 Emacs uses the file extension to enable Ada mode; Ada mode uses the
193 file extentions to allow moving from a package body to the corresponding
194 spec and back.
195
196 Emacs and Ada mode support ways to use alternative file extensions
197 for specs and bodies. Note that you must also tell the compiler about
198 these extensions; doing that is beyond the scope of this manual.
199
200 For instance, if your spec and bodies files are called 'UNIT_s.ada'
201 and 'UNIT_b.ada', respectively, you can add the following to your
202 '.emacs' file:
203
204 ;; Tell Ada mode about spec and body extensions
205 (ada-add-extensions "_s.ada" "_b.ada")
206
207 ;; Tell Emacs to use Ada mode for those extensions
208 (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.ada\\'" . ada-mode))
209
210 You can define additional extensions:
211
212 (ada-add-extensions ".ads" "_b.ada")
213 (ada-add-extensions ".ads" ".body")
214
215 This means that whenever Ada mode looks for the body for a file whose
216 extension is '.ads', it will take the first available file that ends
217 with either '.adb', '_b.ada' or '.body'.
218
219 Simililarly, if Ada mode is looking for a spec, it will look for
220 '.ads' or '_s.ada'.
221
222 If the filename excluding the extension is not derived from the Ada
223 name following the GNAT convention, you need to provide an alternate
224 function for 'ada-file-name-from-ada-name'. Doing that is beyond the
225 scope of this manual; see the current definitions in 'ada-mode.el' and
226 'ada-gnat-xref.el' for examples.

230
231 3.2 Other compiler
232 ==================
233
234 The project variable 'ada_compiler' (default elisp variable
235 'ada-compiler') is used to index several variables that point to the
236 compiler-specific functions for corresponding Ada mode operations.
237
238 To use a compiler other than GNAT, you must write Emacs lisp code
239 that provides the interface to the compiler, and set 'ada-compiler' and
240 the indirection variables.
241
242 See 'ada-gnat-compile.el' for an example.
243
244 \1f
245 File: ada-mode.info, Node: Other cross-reference, Next: Other customization, Prev: Other compiler, Up: Customization
246
247 3.3 Other cross-reference
248 =========================
249
250 The project variable 'ada_xref' (default elisp variable 'ada-xref-tool')
251 is used to index several variables that point to the
252 cross-reference-tool-specific functions for corresponding Ada mode
253 operations.
254
255 To use a cross reference tool other than gnatxref, you must write
256 Emacs lisp code that provides the interface to the compiler, and set
257 'ada-xref-tool' and the indirection variables. This has already been
258 done for 'gnatinspect'; set 'ada-xref-tool' to ''gnat_inspect'.
259
260 See 'ada-gnat-xref.el' and 'gnat-inspect.el' for examples.
261
262 \1f
263 File: ada-mode.info, Node: Other customization, Prev: Other cross-reference, Up: Customization
264
265 3.4 Other customization
266 =======================
267
268 All user-settable Ada mode variables can be set via the menu 'Ada |
269 Customize'. Click on the 'Help' button there for help on using
270 customize.
271
272 To modify a specific variable, you can directly call the function
273 'customize-variable'; just type 'M-x customize-variable <RET>
274 VARIABLE-NAME <RET>').
275
276 Alternately, you can specify variable settings in the Emacs
277 configuration file, '~/.emacs'. This file is coded in Emacs lisp, and
278 the syntax to set a variable is the following:
279 (setq variable-name value)
280
281 Some general Emacs settings that are useful for Ada files:
282 'delete-trailing-whitespace'
283 Deletes space, tab at end of line and blank lines at end of buffer.
284 'untabify'
285 Deletes tab characters that have crept into the file.
286 'indent-tabs-mode'
287 Don't insert tab characters when indenting.
288 'copyright-update'
289 Updates the copyright date in the file header comment, to the
290 current year.
291 'electric-pair-mode'
292 Insert a matching right paren when you type a left paren.
293 'hippie-expand'
294 Bind 'hippie-expand' to a key; it expands the word before point,
295 using words from current buffer, other buffers, file names, etc;
296 see 'hippie-expand-try-functions-list'. You can also add
297 'ada-skel-hippie-try' to that list. Note that 'ada-expand', which
298 defaults to 'ada-skel-expand', is bound to <C-c C-e> (*note
299 Statement skeletons::).
300 'imenu'
301 'which-func'
302
303 The above can all be set by the following code in your '~/.emacs'.
304 Note that some are functions are added to 'before-save-hook'; they run
305 just before a buffer is written to disk. Also, the order is important;
306 ada-mode does not set up the Ada-specific features of imenu and
307 which-func unless they are loaded first.
308
309 (setq-default indent-tabs-mode nil)
310 (electric-pair-mode 1)
311 (require 'imenu)
312 (require 'which-func)
313 (require 'ada-mode)
314 (add-to-list 'hippie-expand-try-functions-list 'ada-skel-hippie-try)
315 (define-key ada-mode-map "\C-e" 'hippie-expand)
316 (add-hook 'ada-mode-hook
317 (lambda ()
318 (add-hook 'before-save-hook 'delete-trailing-whitespace nil t)
319 (add-hook 'before-save-hook 'copyright-update nil t)
320 (add-hook 'before-save-hook
321 (lambda () (untabify (point-min) (point-max)))

327 4 Compiling Executing
328 *********************
329
330 Ada projects can be compiled, linked, and executed using commands on the
331 Ada menu. All of these commands can be customized via a project file
332 (*note Project files::), but the defaults are sufficient for using the
333 GNAT compiler for simple projects (single files, or several files in a
334 single directory).
335
336 For complex projects, you will want to use 'make' or some other build
337 tool; in that case, you will need an Emacs Ada mode project file to tell
338 Emacs about the project directory tree and other settings.

348
349 4.1 Compile commands
350 ====================
351
352 Here are the commands for building an Ada project and running the main
353 program.
354
355 In multi-file projects, there must be one file that is the main
356 program. That is given by the 'main' project file variable; it defaults
357 to the current file if not yet set, but is also set by the "set main and
358 build" command.
359
360 'Check file'
361 Compiles the current file in syntax check mode, by running
362 'check_cmd' defined in the current project file. This typically
363 runs faster than full compile mode, speeding up finding and fixing
364 compilation errors.
365
366 This sets 'main' only if it has not been set yet.
367
368 'Compile file'
369 Compiles the current file, by running 'comp_cmd' from the current
370 project file.
371
372 This does not set 'main'.
373
374 'Set main and Build'
375 Sets 'main' to the current file, then executes the Build command.
376
377 'Show main'
378 Display 'main' in the message buffer.
379
380 'Build'
381 Compiles all obsolete units of the current 'main', and links
382 'main', by running 'make_cmd' from the current project.
383
384 This sets 'main' only if it has not been set yet.
385
386 'Run'
387 Executes the main program in a shell, displayed in a separate Emacs
388 buffer. This runs 'run_cmd' from the current project. The
389 execution buffer allows for interactive input/output.
390
391 To modify the run command, in particular to provide or change the
392 command line arguments, type 'C-u' before invoking the command.
393
394 This command is not available for a cross-compilation toolchain.
395
396 It is important when using these commands to understand how 'main' is
397 used and changed.
398
399 Build runs 'gnatmake' on the main unit. During a typical
400 edit/compile session, this is the only command you need to invoke, which
401 is why it is bound to 'C-c C-c'. It will compile all files needed by
402 the main unit, and display compilation errors in any of them.
403
404 Note that Build can be invoked from any Ada buffer; typically you
405 will be fixing errors in files other than the main, but you don't have
406 to switch back to the main to invoke the compiler again.
407
408 Novices and students typically work on single-file Ada projects. In
409 this case, 'C-c C-m' will normally be the only command needed; it will
410 build the current file, rather than the last-built main.
411
412 There are three ways to change 'main':
413
414 1. Invoke 'Ada | Set main and Build', which sets 'main' to the current
415 file.
416
417 2. Invoke 'Ada | Project | Edit', edit 'main' and 'main', and click
418 '[save]'
419
420 3. Invoke 'Ada | Project | Load', and load a project file that
421 specifies 'main'

426 4.2 Compiling Examples
427 ======================
428
429 We present several small projects, and walk thru the process of
430 compiling, linking, and running them.
431
432 The first example illustrates more Ada mode features than the others;
433 you should work thru that example before doing the others.
434
435 All of these examples assume you are using GNAT.

452 4.2.1 No project files
453 ----------------------
454
455 This example uses no project files.
456
457 First, create a directory 'Example_1', containing:
458
459 'hello.adb':
460
461 with Ada.Text_IO;
462 procedure Hello
463 is begin
464 Put_Line("Hello from hello.adb");
465 end Hello;
466
467 Yes, this is missing "use Ada.Text_IO;" - we want to demonstrate
468 compiler error handling.
469
470 'hello_2.adb' has no errors:
471
472 with Hello_Pkg;
473 procedure Hello_2
474 is begin
475 Hello_Pkg.Say_Hello;
476 end Hello_2;
477
478 'hello_pkg.ads' has no errors:
479
480 package Hello_Pkg is
481 procedure Say_Hello;
482 end Hello_Pkg;
483
484 'hello_pkg.adb':
485
486 with Ada.Text_IO;
487 package Hello_Pkg is
488 procedure Say_Hello
489 is begin
490 Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line ("Hello from hello_pkg.adb");
491 end Say_Hello;
492 end Hello_Pkg;
493
494 Yes, this is missing the keyword 'body'; another compiler error
495 example. However, note that the indentation engine parser accepts this
496 code with no errors, making it easier to indent slightly illegal Ada
497 code.
498
499 In buffer 'hello.adb', invoke the menu entry 'Ada | Build | Check
500 syntax'. You should get a '*compilation*' buffer containing something
501 like (the directory paths will be different):
502
503 -*- mode: compilation; default-directory: "c:/Projects/org.emacs.ada-mode.stephe-1/test/Example_1/" -*-
504 Compilation started at Fri Oct 18 04:23:54
505
506 gnatmake -u -c -gnatc c:/Projects/org.emacs.ada-mode.stephe-1/test/Example_1/hello.adb -cargs
507 gcc -c -Ic:/Projects/org.emacs.ada-mode.stephe-1/test/Example_1/ -gnatc -I- c:/Projects/org.emacs.ada-mode.stephe-1/test/Example_1/hello.adb
508 hello.adb:4:04: "Put_Line" is not visible
509 hello.adb:4:04: non-visible declaration at a-textio.ads:263
510 hello.adb:4:04: non-visible declaration at a-textio.ads:259
511 gnatmake: "c:/Projects/org.emacs.ada-mode.stephe-1/test/Example_1/hello.adb" compilation error
512
513 Compilation exited abnormally with code 4 at Fri Oct 18 04:23:54
514
515 The lines with actual errors (starting with 'hello.adb') are
516 highlighted, with the file name in red.
517
518 Now invoke 'Ada | Build | Next compilation error'. Or you can click
519 the middle mouse button on the first error line, or use the key binding
520 shown on the menu. The compilation buffer scrolls to put the first
521 error on the top line, and point is put at the place of the error in the
522 'hello.adb' buffer.
523
524 To fix the error, invoke 'Ada | Build | Fix compilation error'; this
525 adds "Ada.Text_Io." to the line:
526
527 Ada.Text_Io.Put_Line ("hello from hello.adb");
528
529 Now invoke 'Ada | Build | Show main'; this displays 'Ada mode main:
530 hello'.
531
532 Now (in buffer 'hello.adb'), invoke 'Ada | Build | Build'. You are
533 prompted to save the file (if you haven't already). Then the
534 compilation buffer is displayed again, containing:
535
536 -*- mode: compilation; default-directory: "c:/Projects/org.emacs.ada-mode.stephe-1/test/Example_1/" -*-
537 Compilation started at Fri Oct 18 20:39:33
538
539 gnatmake -o hello hello -cargs -bargs -largs
540 gcc -c hello.adb
541 gnatbind -x hello.ali
542 gnatlink hello.ali -o hello.exe
543
544 Compilation finished at Fri Oct 18 20:39:34
545
546 The compilation has succeeded without errors; 'hello.exe' now exists
547 in the same directory as 'hello.adb'.
548
549 Now invoke 'Ada | Build | Run'. The '*compilation*' buffer is
550 displayed, containing
551
552 -*- mode: compilation; default-directory: "c:/Projects/org.emacs.ada-mode.stephe-1/test/Example_1/" -*-
553 Compilation started at Fri Oct 18 20:41:53
554
555 ./hello
556 Hello from hello.adb
557
558 Compilation finished at Fri Oct 18 20:41:53
559
560 That completes the first part of this example.
561
562 Now we will compile a multi-file project. Open the file
563 'hello_2.adb', invoke 'Ada | Build | Set main and Build'. This finds an
564 error in 'hello_pkg.adb':
565
566 hello_pkg.adb:2:08: keyword "body" expected here [see file name]
567
568 This demonstrates that gnatmake finds the files needed by the main
569 program. However, it cannot find files in a different directory, unless
570 you use an Emacs Ada mode project file or a GNAT project file to specify
571 the other directories; *Note Set source search path::, *note Use GNAT
572 project file::.
573
574 Invoke 'Ada | Build | Show main'; this displays 'Ada mode main:
575 hello_2'.
576
577 Move to the error with 'C-x `', and fix the error by adding 'body':
578
579 package body Hello_Pkg is
580
581 Now, while still in 'hello_pkg.adb', invoke 'Ada | Build | Build'.
582 gnatmake successfully builds 'hello_2'. This demonstrates that Emacs
583 has remembered the main file, in the project variable 'main', and used
584 it for the Build command.
585
586 Finally, again while in 'hello_pkg.adb', invoke 'Ada | Build | Run'.
587 The '*compilation*' buffer displays 'Hello from hello_pkg.adb'.
588
589 One final point. If you switch back to buffer 'hello.adb', and
590 invoke 'Ada | Build | Run', 'hello_2.exe' will be run. That is because
591 'main' is still set to 'hello_2', as you can see when you invoke 'Ada |
592 Build | Show main'.
593
594 There are two ways to change 'main':
595
596 1. Invoke 'Ada | Build | Set main and Build', which sets 'main' to the
597 current file.
598
599 2. Invoke 'Ada | Build | Set Project ...', and select a project file
600 that specifies 'main'.

605 4.2.2 Set compiler options
606 --------------------------
607
608 This example illustrates using an Emacs Ada mode project file to set a
609 compiler option.
610
611 If you have files from 'Example_1' open in Emacs, you should close
612 them so you don't get confused. Use menu 'File | Close (current
613 buffer)'.
614
615 In directory 'Example_2', create these files:
616
617 'hello.adb':
618
619 with Ada.Text_IO;
620 procedure Hello
621 is begin
622 Put_Line("Hello from hello.adb");
623 end Hello;
624
625 This is the same as 'hello.adb' from 'Example_1'. It has two errors;
626 missing "use Ada.Text_IO;", and no space between 'Put_Line' and its
627 argument list.
628
629 'hello.adp':
630
631 comp_opt=-gnatyt
632
633 This tells the GNAT compiler to check for token spacing; in
634 particular, there must be a space preceding a parenthesis.
635
636 In buffer 'hello.adb', invoke 'Ada | Build | Set main and Build'.
637 This finds the project file 'hello.adp', uses it to set the compiler
638 options, and builds the project. You should get a '*compilation*'
639 buffer containing something like (the directory paths will be
640 different):
641
642 cd c:/Examples/Example_2/
643 gnatmake -o hello hello -g -cargs -gnatyt -bargs -largs
644 gcc -c -g -gnatyt hello.adb
645 hello.adb:4:04: "Put_Line" is not visible
646 hello.adb:4:04: non-visible declaration at a-textio.ads:264
647 hello.adb:4:04: non-visible declaration at a-textio.ads:260
648 hello.adb:4:12: (style) space required
649 gnatmake: "hello.adb" compilation error
650
651 Compare this to the compiler output in *note No project files::; the
652 gnatmake option '-cargs' has been replaced by '-cargs -gnaty', and an
653 additional error is reported in 'hello.adb' on line 4. This shows that
654 'hello.adp' is being used to set the compiler options.
655
656 Fixing the error, linking and running the code proceed as in *note No
657 project files::.

662 4.2.3 Set source search path
663 ----------------------------
664
665 In this example, we show how to deal with files in more than one
666 directory, using an Emacs Ada mode project file to set the search path.
667
668 Create the directory 'Example_3', containing:
669
670 'hello_pkg.ads':
671
672 package Hello_Pkg is
673 procedure Say_Hello;
674 end Hello_Pkg;
675
676 'hello_pkg.adb':
677
678 with Ada.Text_IO;
679 package Hello_Pkg is
680 procedure Say_Hello
681 is begin
682 Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line ("Hello from hello_pkg.adb");
683 end Say_Hello;
684 end Hello_Pkg;
685
686 These are the same files from example 1; 'hello_pkg.adb' has an error
687 on line 2.
688
689 In addition, create a directory 'Example_3/Other', containing these
690 files:
691
692 'Other/hello_3.adb':
693
694 with Hello_Pkg;
695 with Ada.Text_IO; use Ada.Text_IO;
696 procedure Hello_3
697 is begin
698 Hello_Pkg.Say_Hello;
699 Put_Line ("From hello_3");
700 end Hello_3;
701
702 There are no errors in this file.
703
704 'Other/other.adp':
705
706 src_dir=..
707
708 Note that there must be no trailing spaces.
709
710 In buffer 'hello_3.adb', invoke 'Ada | Project files | Find and set
711 project...', and select 'Example_3/Other/other.adp'. This tells Emacs
712 Ada mode to stop using the project file from 'Example_2', and use the
713 one for 'Example_3'. Also note that since this project file is not
714 named 'hello_3.adp', it would not be found by default.
715
716 Then, again in 'hello_3.adb', invoke 'Ada | Set main and Build'. You
717 should get a '*compilation*' buffer containing something like (the
718 directory paths will be different):
719
720 cd c:/Examples/Example_3/Other/
721 gnatmake -o hello_3 hello_3 -g -cargs -I.. -bargs -largs
722 gcc -c -g -I.. hello_3.adb
723 gcc -c -I./ -g -I.. -I- C:\Examples\Example_3\hello_pkg.adb
724 hello_pkg.adb:2:08: keyword "body" expected here [see file name]
725 gnatmake: "C:\Examples\Example_3\hello_pkg.adb" compilation error
726
727 Compare the '-cargs' option to the compiler output in *note Set
728 compiler options::; this shows that 'other.adp' is being used to set the
729 compiler options.
730
731 Move to the error with 'C-x `'. Ada mode searches the list of
732 directories given by 'src_dir' for the file mentioned in the compiler
733 error message.
734
735 Fixing the error, linking and running the code proceed as in *note No
736 project files::.

743
744 In this example, we show how to use a GNAT project file, with no Ada
745 mode project file.
746
747 Create the directory 'Example_4', containing:
748
749 'hello_pkg.ads':
750
751 package Hello_Pkg is
752 procedure Say_Hello;
753 end Hello_Pkg;
754
755 'hello_pkg.adb':
756

758 package Hello_Pkg is
759 procedure Say_Hello
760 is begin
761 Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line ("Hello from hello_pkg.adb");
762 end Say_Hello;
763 end Hello_Pkg;
764
765 These are the same files from example 1; 'hello_pkg.adb' has an error
766 on line 2.
767
768 In addition, create a directory 'Example_4/Gnat_Project', containing
769 these files:
770
771 'Gnat_Project/hello_4.adb':
772
773 with Hello_Pkg;
774 with Ada.Text_IO; use Ada.Text_IO;
775 procedure Hello_4
776 is begin
777 Hello_Pkg.Say_Hello;
778 Put_Line ("From hello_4");
779 end Hello_4;
780
781 There are no errors in this file.
782
783 'Gnat_Project/hello_4.gpr':
784
785 project Hello_4 is

787 end Hello_4;
788
789 In buffer 'hello_4.adb', invoke 'Ada | Project | Load...', and select

791
792 Then, again in 'hello_4.adb', invoke 'Ada | Set main and Build'. You
793 should get a '*compilation*' buffer containing something like (the

880 --------------------
881
882 In this example, we show how to use a Makefile to build an Ada project
883 with GNAT, run the result, and clean the build directories.
884
885 Create the directories 'Example_4, Example_5' as specified in *note
886 Use GNAT project file::, *note Use multiple GNAT project files::.
887
888 In 'Example_5', add the file:
889
890 'Makefile':
891
892 # build and run hello_5 project
893
894 all : build run
895
896 .PHONY : force

911 # eval:(ada-select-prj-file "hello_5.adp")
912 # End:
913
914 Close and re-open 'Makefile'; the 'Local Variables' section sets the
915 project file to 'hello_5.adp' when the 'Makefile' is opened. You can
916 also use <C-x C-e> to execute the select line after the 'Makefile' is
917 opened, to change the project file back to 'hello_5.adp'.
918
919 In 'Makefile', invoke 'Tools | Compile...', and accept the default
920 make command. This runs the 'all' target, which builds 'hello_5' and
921 runs it.

927 ===================
928
929 The 'Check syntax' and 'Build' commands, or running 'make', place
930 compilation errors in a separate buffer named '*compilation*'.
931
932 Each line in this buffer will become active: you can simply click on
933 it with the middle button of the mouse, or move point to it and press
934 <RET>. Emacs will then display the relevant source file and put point
935 on the line and column where the error was found.
936
937 You can also press the 'C-x `' key ('next-error'), and Emacs will
938 jump to the first error. If you press that key again, it will move you
939 to the second error, and so on.
940

947 5 Project files
948 ***************
949
950 An Emacs Ada mode project file specifies what directories hold sources
951 for your project, and allows you to customize the compilation commands
952 and other things on a per-project basis.
953
954 The default file extension for Ada mode project files is '*.adp' or
955 '*.prj'. You can use a different extension by adding it to
956 'ada-prj-file-extensions', and a different syntax by adding a parser
957 function to 'ada-prj-parser-alist'.
958
959 Note that Ada mode project files '*.adp' are different than GNAT
960 compiler project files '*.gpr'. However, Emacs Ada mode can use a GNAT
961 project file to specify the project directories. If no other
962 customization is needed, a GNAT project file can be used without an
963 Emacs Ada mode project file.
964
965 If no Emacs Ada mode project file is specified, some Ada mode
966 functions are not available.

975
976 5.1 Project file overview
977 =========================
978
979 Project files have a simple syntax; they may be edited directly. Each
980 line specifies a project variable name and its value, separated by "="
981 (spaces not allowed):
982 src_dir=/Projects/my_project/src_1
983 src_dir=/Projects/my_project/src_2
984
985 Any line that does not have an "=" is a comment.
986
987 Some variables (like 'src_dir') are lists; multiple occurrences are
988 concatenated.
989
990 There must be no space between the variable name and "=", and no
991 trailing spaces.
992
993 The current project file is given by the lisp variable
994 'ada-prj-default-project-file', and shown by the menu command <Ada |
995 Project Files | Show project>.
996
997 To set the project file, use the menu command 'Ada | Set Project
998 ...', or the elisp functions 'ada-parse-prj-file, ada-select-prj-file'.
999 The latter can be added to a Makefile:
1000
1001 # Local Variables:
1002 # eval: (ada-parse-prj-file "ada-mode.prj")
1003 # eval: (ada-select-prj-file ada-mode.prj")
1004 # End:
1005
1006 You specify either a GNAT project file or an Emacs Ada mode project
1007 file; if the file extension is '.gpr', the file is treated as a GNAT
1008 project file. Extensions given by 'ada-prj-file-extensions' (default
1009 '.adp, .prj') are treated as an Emacs Ada mode project file.
1010
1011 After a project file is parsed, you can make it current again with
1012 just 'ada-select-prj-file', or by selecting it from the menu.

1017 5.2 Project file variables
1018 ==========================
1019
1020 To set a project variable that is a list, specify each element of the
1021 list on a separate line in the project file.
1022
1023 Process environment variables can be referenced using the normal
1024 '$var' syntax.
1025
1026 Most project variables have defaults that can be changed by setting
1027 elisp variables; the table below identifies the elisp variable for each
1028 project variable. Elisp variables corresponding to project variables
1029 that are lists are elisp lists.
1030
1031 In general, project variables are evaluated when referenced in Emacs
1032 Ada mode commands. Relative file paths are expanded relative to the
1033 directory containing the project file.
1034
1035 Ada mode defines some project variables; others are defined by the
1036 compiler.
1037
1038 Here is the list of variables valid for all compilers. In the
1039 default values, the current directory '"."' is the directory containing
1040 the project file.
1041
1042 'ada_compiler' [default: 'ada-compiler, gnat']
1043 Ada compiler for this project. It must occur in the project file
1044 before any compiler-specific project variable.
1045
1046 'auto_case' [default: 'ada-auto-case, t']
1047 Non-nil means automatically change case of preceding word while
1048 typing.
1049
1050 'case_identifier' [default: 'ada-case-identifier, ada-mixed-case']
1051 Function to call to adjust the case of an Ada identifier.
1052
1053 'case_keyword' [default: 'ada-case-keyword, downcase-word']
1054 Function to call to adjust the case of an Ada keyword.
1055
1056 'case_strict' [default: 'ada-case-strict, t']
1057 If non-nil, 'ada-mixed-case' forces 'Mixed_Case' for identifiers.
1058 Otherwise, 'ada-mixed-case' allows 'UPPERCASE' for identifiers.
1059
1060 'casing' [default: 'ada-case-exception-file, nil']
1061 List of files containing casing exceptions. *Note Automatic
1062 casing::.
1063
1064 'el_file' [default: ]
1065 The value is a file name, which is loaded as an elisp file when the
1066 project file is parsed or selected. This allows setting Ada mode
1067 indentation variables, and any arbitrary elisp code used to
1068 customize the project.
1069
1070 'path_sep' [default: 'path-separator']
1071 Separator character used in compiler search paths.
1072
1073 'src_dir' [default: '"."']
1074 A list of directories to search for source files.
1075
1076 'xref_tool' [default: 'ada-xref-tool, gnat-xref']
1077 Cross reference tool for this project.
1078
1079 The following variables are valid with the GNAT compiler:
1080
1081 'ada_project_path' [default: '""']
1082 A list of directories to search for GNAT project files.
1083
1084 If set, the 'GPR_PROJECT_PATH' process environment variable is set
1085 to this value in the child process that runs GNAT tools. If not
1086 set, 'GPR_PROJECT_PATH' in the child process is inherited from the
1087 Emacs process.
1088
1089 If you have the 'GPR_PROJECT_PATH' or 'ADA_PROJECT_PATH'
1090 environment variable set in the Emacs process correctly for all of
1091 your projects, you do not need to set this project variable.
1092
1093 The project search path can also be set in GNAT aggregate projects.
1094 However, the gnat tools do not make that path available to Emacs,
1095 so you must duplicate it in an Emacs Ada project file.
1096
1097 'gpr_file' [default: '""']
1098 The GNAT project file.
1099
1100 If set, the source and project directories specified in the GNAT
1101 project file are appended to 'src_dir' and 'ada_project_path'.
1102 This allows specifying Ada source directories with a GNAT project
1103 file, and other source directories with the Emacs project file.
1104
1105 'gpr_project_path' [default: '""']
1106 Same as 'ada_project_path'.

1111 6 Moving Through Ada Code
1112 *************************
1113
1114 There are several commands to navigate through Ada code. All these
1115 functions are available through the Ada menu and keybindings.
1116
1117 Some of these commands rely on cross reference facilities provided by
1118 the compiler; the standard Emacs Ada mode only supports the GNAT
1119 compiler, but others can be added (*note Other cross-reference::).
1120
1121 'C-c C-d'
1122 Move from any use of an identifier to its declaration, for from a
1123 declaration to its body (if there is one).
1124
1125 'C-c M-d'
1126 Move from a child type declaration to the parent type declaration;
1127 display a list of references if there is more than one parent.
1128
1129 'C-c C-n'
1130 Move to the next keyword in the current statement.
1131
1132 For example, if point is on 'if', move to 'then'.
1133
1134 'C-c C-p'
1135 Move to the previous keyword in the current statement.
1136
1137 For example, if point is on 'then', move to 'if'.
1138
1139 'C-c C-o'
1140 Switch between corresponding spec and body. There are several
1141 special cases:
1142
1143 * If the region is active, it is assumed to contain an Ada
1144 package name; position point on the corresponding package
1145 declaration.
1146
1147 * If point is in the start line of a top level child package
1148 declaration (but not package body), or a child subprogram spec
1149 or body, position point on the corresponding parent package
1150 declaration.
1151
1152 * If point is in the start line of a top level separate body,
1153 position point on the corresponding separate stub declaration.
1154
1155 * If point is in a subprogram declaration or body, position
1156 point on the corresponding body or declaration in the other
1157 file.
1158
1159 * If point is on a 'with' clause, position point on the
1160 corresponding declaration.
1161
1162 'C-c C-r'
1163 Show all references to the identifier surrounding point. Use 'C-x
1164 `' ('next-error') to visit each reference (as for compilation
1165 errors).
1166
1167 'C-c C-x'
1168 Show all declarations that override the primitive procedure at
1169 point. Use 'C-x `' ('next-error') to visit each reference (as for
1170 compilation errors).
1171
1172 'C-c M-x'
1173 Show the declaration that the declaration at point overrides.
1174
1175 'C-u SPACE'
1176 Jump back to the previous location.
1177
1178 'Ada | Misc | Refresh cross reference cache'
1179 Cross reference information is loaded from the compiler output when
1180 the first cross reference command is issued. If the code is
1181 recompiled after that, the cross reference information is reloaded
1182 by invoking this menu command.

1187 7 Identifier completion
1188 ***********************
1189
1190 Emacs provides a general way of completing identifiers: 'M-/' (bound to
1191 'dabbrev-expand'). This is an easy way to type faster: you just have to
1192 type the first few letters of an identifier, and then loop through all
1193 the possible completions.
1194
1195 'M-/' works by parsing all open Ada files for possible completions.
1196
1197 For instance, if the words 'my_identifier' and 'my_subprogram' are
1198 the only words starting with 'my' in any of the open Ada files, then you
1199 will have this scenario:
1200
1201 You type: myM-/
1202 Emacs inserts: 'my_identifier'
1203 If you press M-/ once again, Emacs replaces 'my_identifier' with
1204 'my_subprogram'.
1205 Pressing M-/ once more will bring you back to 'my_identifier'.
1206
1207 This is a very fast way to do completion, and the casing of words
1208 will also be respected.

1213 8 Indentation
1214 *************
1215
1216 Ada mode comes with a full set of rules for automatic indentation. You
1217 can also configure the indentation, via the following variables:
1218
1219 'ada-indent' (default value: 3)
1220 Number of columns for default indentation.
1221
1222 'ada-indent-broken' (default value: 2)
1223 Number of columns to indent the continuation of a broken line.
1224
1225 'ada-indent-comment-col-0' (default value: nil)
1226 If non-nil, comments currently starting in column 0 are left in
1227 column 0. Otherwise, they are indented with previous comments or
1228 code.
1229
1230 'ada-indent-label' (default value: -3)
1231 Number of columns to indent a label.
1232
1233 'ada-indent-record-rel-type' (default value: 3)
1234 Indentation for 'record' relative to 'type' or 'use'.
1235
1236 'ada-indent-renames' (default value: 2)
1237 Indentation for 'renames' relative to the matching subprogram
1238 keyword.
1239
1240 If the subprogram has parameters then if 'ada-indent-renames' is
1241 zero or less the indentation is abs 'ada-indent-renames' relative
1242 to the open parenthesis; if 'ada-indent-renames' is one or more the
1243 indentation is relative to the line containing the keyword.
1244
1245 If the subprogram has no parameters then 'ada-indent-broken' the
1246 indentation is relative to the indentation of the line containing
1247 the keyword.
1248
1249 'ada-indent-return' (default value: 0)
1250 Indentation for 'return' relative to the matching 'function'.
1251
1252 If the function has parameters, then if 'ada-indent-return' is zero
1253 or less the indentation is abs 'ada-indent-return' relative to the
1254 open parenthesis; if 'ada-indent-return' is one or more,
1255 indentation is relative to line containing 'function'.
1256
1257 If the function has no parameters, 'ada-indent-broken' is used
1258 relative to line containing 'function'.
1259
1260 'ada-indent-use' (default value: ada-indent-broken)
1261 Indentation for the lines in a 'use' statement.
1262
1263 'ada-indent-when' (default value: 3)
1264 Indentation for 'when' relative to 'exception', 'case', or 'or' in
1265 'select'.
1266
1267 'ada-indent-with' (default value: ada-indent-broken)
1268 Indentation for the lines in a 'with' context clause.
1269
1270 The indentation variables are buffer local; the global value may be
1271 overridden in an elisp file invoked by an 'el_file' Emacs Ada mode
1272 project file statement, or in a file local variable section.
1273
1274 The following keys indent portions of the text:
1275
1276 'RET'
1277 Insert and indent a new line.
1278
1279 'TAB'
1280 Indent the current line, or the current region.
1281
1282 'C-c TAB'
1283 Indent the current statement or declaration.
1284
1285 The indentation algorithm relies on a grammar parser to identify the
1286 syntactic role for keywords and other words in the code. If the code is
1287 accepted by the parser, the indentation is done according to the rules
1288 in the indentation engine.
1289
1290 If the code is not accepted (because it is partially complete during
1291 editing), the indentation engine falls back to the trivial algorithm of
1292 indenting each new line the same as the previous line. Once enough new
1293 text has been entered to make the code acceptable to the parser, the
1294 statement or declaration is properly indented.
1295
1296 For example, if you are entering this code:
1297
1298 if A then
1299 B;
1300 end if;
1301
1302 when you type 'RET B', 'B' is indented to the same column as 'if',
1303 because the parser does not find 'end if;'. Then when you type the
1304 final ';' followed by <TAB>, all three lines are indented, putting 'B'
1305 where it belongs.
1306
1307 To be more user friendly, the parser accepts a superset of the Ada
1308 grammer. For example, the parser accepts this code for an 'if'
1309 statement:
1310
1311 if then
1312 end if;
1313
1314 In general, any sequence of statements, and many expressions, may be
1315 omitted.
1316
1317 One way to easily insert empty statements like this is using *note
1318 Statement skeletons::.
1319
1320 In rare cases, the parser gets confused; it can be reset by invoking
1321 menu <Ada | Misc | Reset parser>. Please report such cases as a bug.

1325
1326 9 Statement skeletons
1327 *********************
1328
1329 'C-c C-e' expands the previous one or two words into a statment
1330 skeleton. For example, 'i f C-c C-e' expands to:
1331
1332 if then
1333 elsif then
1334 else
1335 end if;
1336
1337 All skeleton expansions are accepted by the indentation parser, so
1338 this is a convenient way to insert statements with correct indentation.
1339
1340 For named statements (packages, loops, etc), the name is taken from
1341 the word before point, and the name of the statement from the word
1342 before that. Some expansions prompt for more information, such as
1343 whether a spec or body is desired. For example, 'package A_Package C-c
1344 C-e' first prompts for "body" or "spec". If "spec" is selected, the
1345 following code is inserted:
1346
1347 package A_Package is
1348 private
1349 end A_Package;
1350
1351 Named blocks work similarly: 'declare A_Block C-c C-e' expands
1352 (without prompting) to:
1353
1354 A_Block:
1355 declare
1356 begin
1357 exception
1358 end A_Block;
1359
1360 Note that the order of the keyword 'declare' and the name 'A_Block'
1361 are reversed in the expansion; this may take some getting used to.

1366 10 Aligning code
1367 ****************
1368
1369 Aligning code adds space in each line so that similar parts of
1370 successive lines are aligned vertically. For example, a sequence of
1371 declarations:
1372
1373 A : Integer;
1374 Another : Float := 1.0;
1375 More : Integer := 2;
1376
1377 changes to this when aligned:
1378
1379 A : Integer;
1380 Another : Float := 1.0;
1381 More : Integer := 2;
1382
1383 Alignment is invoked by 'C-c C-a', which aligns the sequence of
1384 statements surrounding point, or within the selected region.
1385
1386 Parameter lists are also aligned:
1387
1388 procedure Foo
1389 (A : in Integer;
1390 Another : out Float := 1.0;
1391 More : in out Integer := 2);
1392
1393 is aligned to:
1394
1395 procedure Foo
1396 (A : in Integer;
1397 Another : out Float := 1.0;
1398 More : in out Integer := 2);

1402
1403 11 Automatic casing
1404 *******************
1405
1406 Casing of identifiers, attributes and keywords is automatically
1407 performed while typing when the variable 'ada-auto-case' is non-nil (the
1408 default). Every time you type a word separator, the previous word is
1409 automatically cased.
1410
1411 You can customize the automatic casing with the following variables:
1412
1413 'ada-case-keyword'
1414 Value must be one of:
1415 'downcase-word'
1416 Ada keywords will be lowercase.
1417
1418 'upcase-word'
1419 Ada keywords will be uppercase.
1420
1421 'ada-case-strict'
1422 If non-nil, all identifiers are forced to 'Mixed_Case'; first
1423 letter, and letter following "_" are uppercase; rest are lowercase.
1424
1425 If nil, the mixed case characters in identifiers are forced to
1426 upper case, but the other characters are not modified. That allows
1427 typing all uppercase identifiers without defining a casing
1428 exception.
1429
1430 You can define exceptions to these rules, in files specified by the
1431 variable 'ada-case-exception-file'. Each line in a case exception file
1432 specifies the casing of one word or word fragment. If an exception is
1433 defined in multiple files, the first occurrence is used.
1434
1435 If the word starts with an asterisk ('*'), it defines the casing of a
1436 word fragemnt (or "substring"); part of a word between two underscores
1437 or word boundary.
1438
1439 For example:
1440
1441 DOD
1442 *IO
1443 GNAT
1444
1445 The word fragment '*IO' applies to any word containing "_io";
1446 'Text_IO', 'Hardware_IO', etc.
1447
1448 There are two ways to add new items to this file: you can simply edit
1449 it as you would edit any text file. Or you can position point on the
1450 word you want to add, and select menu 'Ada | Casing | Create full
1451 exception' or 'Ada | Casing | Create partial exception'. The word will
1452 be added to the current list of exceptions and to the file.
1453
1454 It is sometimes useful to have multiple exception files. For
1455 example, one could be the standard Ada acronyms, the second some company
1456 specific exceptions, and the last one some project specific exceptions.
1457 If you set up the variable 'ada-case-exception-file' as a list of files,
1458 each of them will be parsed and used in your emacs session. When you
1459 create a new exception, you are prompted for the file to save it in.
1460
1461 Other keys and menu entries are defined:
1462
1463 'C-c C-w'
1464 Adjust case of the word at point. With prefix arg, adjust case
1465 even if in comment. Normally, comments are not affected by case
1466 adjust.
1467
1468 'Ada | Casing | Adjust case region'
1469 Adjust case in the active region.
1470
1471 'Ada | Casing | Adjust case buffer'
1472 Adjust case in the active buffer.

1607 14.1 Directory structure
1608 ========================
1609
1610 'org.emacs.ada-mode'
1611 Main source.
1612
1613 File extensions:
1614 '*.el'
1615 Elisp files; main code.
1616
1617 '*.elc'
1618 Byte-compiled elisp files, not in the distribution. Generated
1619 by the Makefile target 'byte-compile', or by the Emacs package
1620 installer.
1621
1622 Compiling the parse tables ('*-wy.el') speeds up loading them
1623 significantly. Compiling other files speeds up parsing, but
1624 not noticeably.
1625
1626 One reason to byte-compile files is to find errors; the byte
1627 compiler reports undefined variables, wrong argument counts,
1628 etc.
1629
1630 '*-wy.el'
1631 Parse tables, generated from the corresponding grammar '*.wy'
1632 by the OpenToken tool 'wisi-generate.exe'. These are in the
1633 tarball distribution and the monotone repository so users and
1634 Elisp developers don't have to install OpenToken.
1635
1636 '*-wy.output'
1637 Diagnostic output from 'wisi-generate.exe', useful for tracing
1638 parses while debugging a grammar issue. Not in the tarball
1639 distribution or the monotone repository.
1640
1641 '*.wy'
1642 Grammar files, specifying the language to be parsed. The
1643 syntax for these grammar files is similar to that for bison
1644 and wisent, but not the same; see the OpenToken documentation
1645 for more info.
1646
1647 The wisi parser (in 'wisi-parse.el') is a generalized LALR
1648 parser, so it tolerates some conflicts and ambiguities. This
1649 makes the grammars easier to write, and in particular makes it
1650 possible to let the Ada grammar closely match Annex P of the
1651 Ada Language Reference Manual (the syntax summary).
1652
1653 '*.texi'
1654 Texinfo source for the user guides.
1655
1656 '*.html'
1657 Generated user guide in HTML format.
1658
1659 '*.info'
1660 Generated user guide in Emacs info format.
1661
1662 'build'
1663 Makefile for building the user guides, publishing to the web page
1664 or Gnu ELPA. Test drivers.
1665
1666 'build/wisi'
1667 Makefile for building and testing with the wisi-based parser.
1668 Separate from 'build', because there used to be a SMIE-based
1669 parser, and there might be another parser someday.
1670
1671 The emacs used to byte-compile and run tests is given by the 'make'
1672 variable EMACS_EXE, which defaults to 'emacs'; it can be overridden
1673 on the make command line or by an environment variable.
1674
1675 'test'
1676 All tests for Ada mode, gpr mode, parser.
1677
1678 Each test is run in a separate invocation of Emacs, so it is
1679 completely independent of all other tests.
1680
1681 The tests are driven by the elisp code in 'build/*.el'.
1682
1683 In general, the Ada mode tests open the file, execute test actions,
1684 re-indent, and re-captialize the entire file. The result is diffed
1685 with the original, and must match.
1686
1687 The test actions are defined by comments with the prefix
1688 '--EMACSCMD:'; they are elisp forms that invoke Ada mode functions.
1689 This is used to test navigation features and other parser effects.
1690
1691 'test/Example_*'
1692 Starting files for examples in user guide.
1693
1694 'test/gpr'
1695 Tests for gpr mode.
1696
1697 'test/subdir'
1698 More tests; allows testing path search features.
1699
1700 'test/wisi'
1701 Tests of the elisp wisi grammar compiler and parser.

1718
1719 14.2.1 Ada mode
1720 ---------------
1721
1722 Ada mode consists of all files with 'ada-' prefix in the file name.
1723
1724 'ada-mode.el'
1725 The main file, implementing the keymap, menu, and top level
1726 functionality.
1727
1728 It allows for different backend implementations for compiling,
1729 cross-referencing, and indenting. The functions for each of these
1730 backends dispatch thru global variables that are set by Emacs Ada
1731 mode project files. They default to the GNAT compiler, the
1732 gnatxref cross reference tool, and the ada-wisi indentation engine.
1733
1734 'ada-build.el'
1735 Provides functions for compiling Ada files without a Makefile (or
1736 similar tool).
1737
1738 'ada-fix-error.el'
1739 Provides an interface to utilities for automatically fixing errors
1740 reported by the compiler. It dispatches to a compiler-specific
1741 backend.
1742
1743 'ada-gnat-compile.el'
1744 Implements the Ada mode compiler functions for the GNAT compiler.
1745
1746 'ada-gnat-xref.el'
1747 Implements the Ada mode cross reference functions for the GNAT
1748 compiler.
1749
1750 'ada-grammar.*'
1751 The Ada language grammar, and files generated from it by the
1752 OpenToken tool 'wisi-generate.exe'.
1753
1754 'ada-indent-user-options.el'
1755 All user-settable options for the Ada indentation engine.
1756
1757 'ada-mode-compat-23.4.el'
1758 Defines functions used by Ada mode that are not in Emacs 23.4.
1759
1760 Emacs Ada mode is written for Emacs 24.3. Emacs version 23.4 is
1761 partially supported. Earlier versions of Emacs are not supported.
1762
1763 'ada-mode.texi'
1764 The Ada mode user guide source and compiled versions.
1765
1766 'ada-skel.el'
1767 Skeletons for expansion of Ada syntax (*note Statement
1768 skeletons::). Extends the Emacs skeleton functions with "tokens",
1769 inspired by the lamented Else package (which was inspired by DEC
1770 LSE).
1771
1772 'ada-wisi-opentoken.el'
1773 Indentation functions useful when editing OpenToken code; an
1774 example of extending the Ada mode indentation engine for special
1775 circumstances.
1776
1777 'ada-wisi.el'
1778 Implements the Ada mode indentation functions for the wisi
1779 indentation engine backend.

1783
1784 14.2.2 gpr mode
1785 ---------------
1786
1787 gpr mode consists of all files with 'gpr-' prefix in the file name. The
1788 functions in each file are similar to the similarly-named Ada mode
1789 files.
1790
1791 \1f
1792 File: ada-mode.info, Node: GNAT core, Next: Wisi, Prev: gpr mode, Up: Package organization
1793
1794 14.2.3 GNAT core
1795 ----------------
1796
1797 'gnat-core.el'
1798 GNAT is actually a multi-language tool; it builds on top of the
1799 multi-language gcc.
1800
1801 'gnat-core.el' is a start at a language-agnostic interface to the
1802 GNAT tools. It was first factored out from 'ada-gnat.el' and
1803 'ada-mode.el' to support the multi-language 'gnat-inspect.el',
1804 which is still experimental.
1805
1806 More code currently in 'ada-mode.el' could be migrated to
1807 'gnat-core.el', in particular the project file support.
1808
1809 'gnat-inspect.el'
1810 Provides an experimental interface to the experimental
1811 multi-language cross-reference tool 'gnatinspect' from AdaCore,
1812 which will supercede 'gnatxref'.
1813
1814 Implements the Ada mode cross-reference functions for the
1815 'gnatinspect' backend, and a minor mode providing similar functions
1816 for C++.
1817
1818 \1f
1819 File: ada-mode.info, Node: Wisi, Prev: GNAT core, Up: Package organization
1820
1821 14.2.4 Wisi
1822 -----------
1823
1824 The "wisi" parser. "wisi" used to be an acronym, but now it's just a
1825 name.
1826
1827 'wisi.el'
1828 Implements the lexer, the main parser driver, parser actions that
1829 cache parser information in text properties, utilities for
1830 indenting and navigating using the cached information, and general
1831 setup.
1832
1833 'wisi-compile.el'
1834 Implements the parse table compiler. 'wisi-generate.exe' processes
1835 the grammar source '*.wy' into an elisp source representation of a
1836 parse table '*-wy.el'. That is compiled into an internal structure
1837 containing the state transitions and executable actions. The
1838 actions can be any elisp form; the intent is that they be calls to
1839 the action functions provided by 'wisi.el'. 'wisi-compile.el' uses
1840 some features provided by 'semantic'.
1841
1842 'wisi-parse.el'
1843 Implements the generalized LALR parser.
1844

1846 File: ada-mode.info, Node: OpenToken, Next: ELPA, Prev: Package organization, Up: Developer overview
1847
1848 14.3 OpenToken
1849 ==============
1850
1851 Ada mode uses the OpenToken tool 'wisi-generate.exe' to process the
1852 grammar sources into elisp parse tables. See
1853 <http://stephe-leake.org/emacs/ada-mode/emacs-ada-mode.html> for current
1854 information about which version of OpenToken is required, and how to get
1855 it.
1856
1857 The Makefile variable 'WISI_OPENTOKEN' gives the path to the build
1858 directory for OpenToken; you probably need to override it with an
1859 external environment variable or on the 'make' command line.
1860

1862 File: ada-mode.info, Node: ELPA, Prev: OpenToken, Up: Developer overview
1863
1864 14.4 ELPA
1865 =========
1866
1867 Ada mode is published via the Gnu ELPA archive. To test a new version
1868 of Ada mode, we use a local Gnu ELPA archive. That requires fetching
1869 Gnu ELPA via git:
1870
1871 cd /Projects
1872 git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/emacs/elpa.git
1873
1874 If you have an Emacs Savannah developer account, you can use:
1875
1876 cd /Projects
1877 git clone <login>@git.savannah.gnu.org/emacs/elpa.git
1878
1879 'build/Makefile' contains targets for copying Ada mode source to the
1880 elpa workspace, and for building the elpa archive there.

1888 Version 1.3, 3 November 2008
1889
1890 Copyright (C) 2000, 2001, 2002, 2007, 2008, 2009 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
1891 <http://fsf.org/>
1892
1893 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
1894 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
1895
1896 0. PREAMBLE
1897
1898 The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
1899 functional and useful document "free" in the sense of freedom: to
1900 assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it,
1901 with or without modifying it, either commercially or
1902 noncommercially. Secondarily, this License preserves for the
1903 author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not
1904 being considered responsible for modifications made by others.
1905
1906 This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative
1907 works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense.
1908 It complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft
1909 license designed for free software.
1910
1911 We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for
1912 free software, because free software needs free documentation: a
1913 free program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms
1914 that the software does. But this License is not limited to
1915 software manuals; it can be used for any textual work, regardless
1916 of subject matter or whether it is published as a printed book. We
1917 recommend this License principally for works whose purpose is
1918 instruction or reference.
1919
1920 1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
1921
1922 This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium,
1923 that contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can
1924 be distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice
1925 grants a world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration,
1926 to use that work under the conditions stated herein. The
1927 "Document", below, refers to any such manual or work. Any member
1928 of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as "you". You accept
1929 the license if you copy, modify or distribute the work in a way
1930 requiring permission under copyright law.
1931
1932 A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the
1933 Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
1934 modifications and/or translated into another language.
1935
1936 A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section
1937 of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
1938 publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall
1939 subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could
1940 fall directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document
1941 is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not
1942 explain any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of
1943 historical connection with the subject or with related matters, or
1944 of legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position
1945 regarding them.
1946
1947 The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose
1948 titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the
1949 notice that says that the Document is released under this License.
1950 If a section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it
1951 is not allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may
1952 contain zero Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify
1953 any Invariant Sections then there are none.
1954
1955 The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are
1956 listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice
1957 that says that the Document is released under this License. A
1958 Front-Cover Text may be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may
1959 be at most 25 words.
1960
1961 A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
1962 represented in a format whose specification is available to the
1963 general public, that is suitable for revising the document
1964 straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed
1965 of pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely
1966 available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text
1967 formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of formats
1968 suitable for input to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise
1969 Transparent file format whose markup, or absence of markup, has
1970 been arranged to thwart or discourage subsequent modification by
1971 readers is not Transparent. An image format is not Transparent if
1972 used for any substantial amount of text. A copy that is not
1973 "Transparent" is called "Opaque".
1974
1975 Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
1976 ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format,
1977 SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming
1978 simple HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for human modification.
1979 Examples of transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG.
1980 Opaque formats include proprietary formats that can be read and
1981 edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which
1982 the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally available, and
1983 the machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by some word
1984 processors for output purposes only.
1985
1986 The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
1987 plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the
1988 material this License requires to appear in the title page. For
1989 works in formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title
1990 Page" means the text near the most prominent appearance of the
1991 work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
1992
1993 The "publisher" means any person or entity that distributes copies
1994 of the Document to the public.
1995
1996 A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named subunit of the Document
1997 whose title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses
1998 following text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ
1999 stands for a specific section name mentioned below, such as
2000 "Acknowledgements", "Dedications", "Endorsements", or "History".)
2001 To "Preserve the Title" of such a section when you modify the
2002 Document means that it remains a section "Entitled XYZ" according
2003 to this definition.
2004
2005 The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice
2006 which states that this License applies to the Document. These
2007 Warranty Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in
2008 this License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other
2009 implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and
2010 has no effect on the meaning of this License.
2011
2012 2. VERBATIM COPYING
2013
2014 You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
2015 commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
2016 copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License
2017 applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you
2018 add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You
2019 may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading
2020 or further copying of the copies you make or distribute. However,
2021 you may accept compensation in exchange for copies. If you
2022 distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow the
2023 conditions in section 3.
2024
2025 You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above,
2026 and you may publicly display copies.
2027
2028 3. COPYING IN QUANTITY
2029
2030 If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly
2031 have printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and
2032 the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must
2033 enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all
2034 these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and
2035 Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also clearly
2036 and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies. The
2037 front cover must present the full title with all words of the title
2038 equally prominent and visible. You may add other material on the
2039 covers in addition. Copying with changes limited to the covers, as
2040 long as they preserve the title of the Document and satisfy these
2041 conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in other respects.
2042
2043 If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
2044 legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
2045 reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto
2046 adjacent pages.
2047
2048 If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document
2049 numbering more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable
2050 Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with
2051 each Opaque copy a computer-network location from which the general
2052 network-using public has access to download using public-standard
2053 network protocols a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free
2054 of added material. If you use the latter option, you must take
2055 reasonably prudent steps, when you begin distribution of Opaque
2056 copies in quantity, to ensure that this Transparent copy will
2057 remain thus accessible at the stated location until at least one
2058 year after the last time you distribute an Opaque copy (directly or
2059 through your agents or retailers) of that edition to the public.
2060
2061 It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of
2062 the Document well before redistributing any large number of copies,
2063 to give them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the
2064 Document.
2065
2066 4. MODIFICATIONS
2067
2068 You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document
2069 under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you
2070 release the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the
2071 Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing
2072 distribution and modification of the Modified Version to whoever
2073 possesses a copy of it. In addition, you must do these things in
2074 the Modified Version:
2075
2076 A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title
2077 distinct from that of the Document, and from those of previous
2078 versions (which should, if there were any, be listed in the
2079 History section of the Document). You may use the same title
2080 as a previous version if the original publisher of that
2081 version gives permission.
2082
2083 B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or
2084 entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in
2085 the Modified Version, together with at least five of the
2086 principal authors of the Document (all of its principal
2087 authors, if it has fewer than five), unless they release you
2088 from this requirement.
2089
2090 C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
2091 Modified Version, as the publisher.
2092
2093 D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
2094
2095 E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
2096 adjacent to the other copyright notices.
2097
2098 F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license
2099 notice giving the public permission to use the Modified
2100 Version under the terms of this License, in the form shown in
2101 the Addendum below.
2102
2103 G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant
2104 Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document's
2105 license notice.
2106
2107 H. Include an unaltered copy of this License.
2108
2109 I. Preserve the section Entitled "History", Preserve its Title,
2110 and add to it an item stating at least the title, year, new
2111 authors, and publisher of the Modified Version as given on the
2112 Title Page. If there is no section Entitled "History" in the
2113 Document, create one stating the title, year, authors, and
2114 publisher of the Document as given on its Title Page, then add
2115 an item describing the Modified Version as stated in the
2116 previous sentence.
2117
2118 J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document
2119 for public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and
2120 likewise the network locations given in the Document for
2121 previous versions it was based on. These may be placed in the
2122 "History" section. You may omit a network location for a work
2123 that was published at least four years before the Document
2124 itself, or if the original publisher of the version it refers
2125 to gives permission.
2126
2127 K. For any section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications",
2128 Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the section
2129 all the substance and tone of each of the contributor
2130 acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein.
2131
2132 L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, unaltered
2133 in their text and in their titles. Section numbers or the
2134 equivalent are not considered part of the section titles.
2135
2136 M. Delete any section Entitled "Endorsements". Such a section
2137 may not be included in the Modified Version.
2138
2139 N. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled
2140 "Endorsements" or to conflict in title with any Invariant
2141 Section.
2142
2143 O. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.
2144
2145 If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
2146 appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no
2147 material copied from the Document, you may at your option designate
2148 some or all of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their
2149 titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's
2150 license notice. These titles must be distinct from any other
2151 section titles.
2152
2153 You may add a section Entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains
2154 nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
2155 parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text
2156 has been approved by an organization as the authoritative
2157 definition of a standard.
2158
2159 You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text,
2160 and a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of
2161 the list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage
2162 of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or
2163 through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document
2164 already includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added
2165 by you or by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on
2166 behalf of, you may not add another; but you may replace the old
2167 one, on explicit permission from the previous publisher that added
2168 the old one.
2169
2170 The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this
2171 License give permission to use their names for publicity for or to
2172 assert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version.
2173
2174 5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS
2175
2176 You may combine the Document with other documents released under
2177 this License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for
2178 modified versions, provided that you include in the combination all
2179 of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents,
2180 unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your
2181 combined work in its license notice, and that you preserve all
2182 their Warranty Disclaimers.
2183
2184 The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
2185 multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
2186 copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name
2187 but different contents, make the title of each such section unique
2188 by adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the
2189 original author or publisher of that section if known, or else a
2190 unique number. Make the same adjustment to the section titles in
2191 the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the
2192 combined work.
2193
2194 In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled
2195 "History" in the various original documents, forming one section
2196 Entitled "History"; likewise combine any sections Entitled
2197 "Acknowledgements", and any sections Entitled "Dedications". You
2198 must delete all sections Entitled "Endorsements."
2199
2200 6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
2201
2202 You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other
2203 documents released under this License, and replace the individual
2204 copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy
2205 that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the
2206 rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of the documents
2207 in all other respects.
2208
2209 You may extract a single document from such a collection, and
2210 distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert
2211 a copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow this
2212 License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of that
2213 document.
2214
2215 7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
2216
2217 A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other
2218 separate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a
2219 storage or distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the
2220 copyright resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the
2221 legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual
2222 works permit. When the Document is included in an aggregate, this
2223 License does not apply to the other works in the aggregate which
2224 are not themselves derivative works of the Document.
2225
2226 If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
2227 copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half
2228 of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed
2229 on covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the
2230 electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic
2231 form. Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket
2232 the whole aggregate.
2233
2234 8. TRANSLATION
2235
2236 Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
2237 distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section
2238 4. Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
2239 permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
2240 translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
2241 original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a
2242 translation of this License, and all the license notices in the
2243 Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also
2244 include the original English version of this License and the
2245 original versions of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a
2246 disagreement between the translation and the original version of
2247 this License or a notice or disclaimer, the original version will
2248 prevail.
2249
2250 If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements",
2251 "Dedications", or "History", the requirement (section 4) to
2252 Preserve its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the
2253 actual title.
2254
2255 9. TERMINATION
2256
2257 You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document
2258 except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
2259 otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute it is void,
2260 and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
2261
2262 However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
2263 license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
2264 provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
2265 finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the
2266 copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some
2267 reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.
2268
2269 Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
2270 reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
2271 violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
2272 received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from
2273 that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days
2274 after your receipt of the notice.
2275
2276 Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate
2277 the licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you
2278 under this License. If your rights have been terminated and not
2279 permanently reinstated, receipt of a copy of some or all of the
2280 same material does not give you any rights to use it.
2281
2282 10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE
2283
2284 The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of
2285 the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new
2286 versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
2287 differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See
2288 <http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/>.
2289
2290 Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version
2291 number. If the Document specifies that a particular numbered
2292 version of this License "or any later version" applies to it, you
2293 have the option of following the terms and conditions either of
2294 that specified version or of any later version that has been
2295 published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the
2296 Document does not specify a version number of this License, you may
2297 choose any version ever published (not as a draft) by the Free
2298 Software Foundation. If the Document specifies that a proxy can
2299 decide which future versions of this License can be used, that
2300 proxy's public statement of acceptance of a version permanently
2301 authorizes you to choose that version for the Document.
2302
2303 11. RELICENSING
2304
2305 "Massive Multiauthor Collaboration Site" (or "MMC Site") means any
2306 World Wide Web server that publishes copyrightable works and also
2307 provides prominent facilities for anybody to edit those works. A
2308 public wiki that anybody can edit is an example of such a server.
2309 A "Massive Multiauthor Collaboration" (or "MMC") contained in the
2310 site means any set of copyrightable works thus published on the MMC
2311 site.
2312
2313 "CC-BY-SA" means the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0
2314 license published by Creative Commons Corporation, a not-for-profit
2315 corporation with a principal place of business in San Francisco,
2316 California, as well as future copyleft versions of that license
2317 published by that same organization.
2318
2319 "Incorporate" means to publish or republish a Document, in whole or
2320 in part, as part of another Document.
2321
2322 An MMC is "eligible for relicensing" if it is licensed under this
2323 License, and if all works that were first published under this
2324 License somewhere other than this MMC, and subsequently
2325 incorporated in whole or in part into the MMC, (1) had no cover
2326 texts or invariant sections, and (2) were thus incorporated prior
2327 to November 1, 2008.
2328
2329 The operator of an MMC Site may republish an MMC contained in the
2330 site under CC-BY-SA on the same site at any time before August 1,
2331 2009, provided the MMC is eligible for relicensing.
2332
2333 ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents
2334 ====================================================
2335
2336 To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of
2337 the License in the document and put the following copyright and license
2338 notices just after the title page:
2339
2340 Copyright (C) YEAR YOUR NAME.
2341 Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document
2342 under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.3
2343 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation;
2344 with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover
2345 Texts. A copy of the license is included in the section entitled ``GNU
2346 Free Documentation License''.
2347
2348 If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover
2349 Texts, replace the "with...Texts." line with this:
2350
2351 with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with
2352 the Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts
2353 being LIST.
2354
2355 If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other
2356 combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the
2357 situation.
2358
2359 If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we
2360 recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of free
2361 software license, such as the GNU General Public License, to permit
2362 their use in free software.
