   -- Documentation for Compiler Debug Flags --
   --------------------------------------------

   --  da   Generate messages tracking semantic analyzer progress. A message
   --       is output showing each node as it gets analyzed, expanded,
   --       resolved, or evaluated. This option is useful for finding out
   --       exactly where a bomb during semantic analysis is occurring.

   --  db   In Exp_Dbug, certain type names are encoded to include debugging
   --       information. This debug switch causes lines to be output showing
   --       the encodings used.

   --  dc   List names of units as they are compiled. One line of output will
   --       be generated at the start of compiling each unit (package or
   --       subprogram).

   --  dd   Dynamic allocation of tables messages generated. Each time a
   --       table is reallocated, a line is output indicating the expansion.

   --  de   List the entity table

   --  df   Full tree/source print (includes withed units). Normally the tree
   --       output (dt) or recreated source output (dg,do,ds) includes only
   --       the main unit. If df is set, then the output in either case
   --       includes all compiled units (see also dg,do,ds,dt). Note that to
   --       be effective, this switch must be used in combination with one or
   --       more of dt, dg, do or ds.

   --  dg   Print the source recreated from the generated tree. In the case
   --       where the tree has been rewritten this output includes only the
   --       generated code, not the original code (see also df,do,ds,dz).
   --       This flag differs from -gnatG in that the output also includes
   --       non-source generated null statements, and freeze nodes, which
   --       are normally omitted in -gnatG mode.

   --  dh   Generates a table at the end of a compilation showing how the hash
   --       table chains built by the Namet package are loaded. This is useful
   --       in ensuring that the hashing algorithm (in Namet.Hash) is working
   --       effectively with typical sets of program identifiers.

   --  di   Generate messages for visibility linking/delinking

   --  dj   Suppress "junk null check" for access parameters. This flag permits
   --       Ada programs to pass null parameters to access parameters, and to
   --       explicitly check such access values against the null literal.
   --       Neither of these is valid Ada, but both were allowed in versions of
   --       GNAT before 3.10, so this switch can ease the transition process.

   --  dk   Immediate kill on abort. Normally on an abort (i.e. a call to
   --       Comperr.Compiler_Abort), the GNATBUG message is not given if
   --       there is a previous error. This debug switch bypasses this test
   --       and gives the message unconditionally (useful for debugging).

   --  dl   Generate unit load trace messages. A line of traceback output is
   --       generated each time a request is made to the library manager to
   --       load a new unit.

   --  dm   Prevent special frontend inlining in GNATprove mode. In some cases,
   --       some subprogram calls are inlined in GNATprove mode in order to
   --       facilitate formal verification. This debug switch prevents that
   --       inlining to happen.

   --  dn   Generate messages for node/list allocation. Each time a node or
   --       list header is allocated, a line of output is generated. Certain
   --       other basic tree operations also cause a line of output to be
   --       generated. This option is useful in seeing where the parser is
   --       blowing up.

   --  do   Print the source recreated from the generated tree. In the case
   --       where the tree has been rewritten, this output includes only the
   --       original code, not the generated code (see also df,dg,ds,dz).

   --  dp   Generate messages for parser scope stack push/pops. A line of
   --       output by the parser each time the parser scope stack is either
   --       pushed or popped. Useful in debugging situations where the
   --       parser scope stack ends up incorrectly synchronized

   --  dq   In layout version 1.38, 2002/01/12, a circuit was implemented
   --       to give decent default alignment to short records that had no
   --       specific alignment set. This debug option restores the previous
   --       behavior of giving such records poor alignments, typically 1.
   --       This may be useful in dealing with transition.

   --  dr   Generate parser resynchronization messages. Normally the parser
   --       resynchronizes quietly. With this debug option, two messages
   --       are generated, one when the parser starts a resynchronization
   --       skip, and another when it resumes parsing. Useful in debugging
   --       inadequate error recovery situations.

   --  ds   Print the source recreated from the generated tree. In the case
   --       where the tree has been rewritten this output includes both the
   --       generated code and the original code with the generated code
   --       being enlosed in curly brackets (see also df,do,ds,dz)

   --  dt   Print full tree. The generated tree is output (see also df,dy)

   --  du   Uncheck categorization pragmas. This debug switch causes the
   --       elaboration control pragmas (Pure, Preelaborate, etc.) and the
   --       categorization pragmas (Shared_Passive, Remote_Types, etc.) to be
   --       ignored, so that normal checks are not made (this is particularly
   --       useful for adding temporary debugging code to units that have
   --       pragmas that are inconsistent with the debugging code added).

   --  dv   Output trace of overload resolution. Outputs messages for
   --       overload attempts that involve cascaded errors, or where
   --       an interpretation is incompatible with the context.

   --  dw   Write semantic scope stack messages. Each time a scope is created
   --       or removed, a message is output (see the Sem_Ch8.Push_Scope and
   --       Sem_Ch8.Pop_Scope subprograms).

   --  dx   Force expansion on, even if no code being generated. Normally the
   --       expander is inhibited if no code is generated. This switch forces
   --       expansion to proceed normally even if the backend is not being
   --       called. This is particularly useful for debugging purposes when
   --       using the front-end only version of the compiler (which normally
   --       would never do any expansion).

   --  dy   Print tree of package Standard. Normally the tree print out does
   --       not include package Standard, even if the -df switch is set. This
   --       switch forces output of the internal tree built for Standard.

   --  dz   Print source of package Standard. Normally the source print out
   --       does not include package Standard, even if the -df switch is set.
   --       This switch forces output of the source recreated from the internal
   --       tree built for Standard. Note that this differs from -gnatS in
   --       that it prints from the actual tree using the normal Sprint
   --       circuitry for printing trees.

   --  dA   Forces output of representation information, including full
   --       information for all internal type and object entities, as well
   --       as all user defined type and object entities including private
   --       and incomplete types. This debug switch also automatically sets
   --       the equivalent of -gnatRm.

   --  dB   Output debug encodings for types and variants. See Exp_Dbug for
   --       exact form of the generated output.

   --  dC   Output trace information showing the decisions made during
   --       check suppression activity in unit Checks.

   --  dD   Delete new elaboration checks. This flag causes GNAT to return
   --       to the 3.13a elaboration semantics, and to suppress the fixing
   --       of two bugs. The first is in the context of inner routines in
   --       dynamic elaboration mode, when the subprogram we are in was
   --       called at elaboration time by a unit that was also compiled with
   --       dynamic elaboration checks. In this case, if A calls B calls C,
   --       and all are in different units, we need an elaboration check at
   --       each call. These nested checks were only put in recently (see
   --       version 1.80 of Sem_Elab) and we provide this debug flag to
   --       revert to the previous behavior in case of regressions. The
   --       other behavior reverted by this flag is the treatment of the
   --       Elaborate_Body pragma in static elaboration mode. This used to
   --       be treated as not needing elaboration checking, but in fact in
   --       general Elaborate_All is still required because of nested calls.

   --  dE   Apply compile time elaboration checking for with relations between
   --       predefined units. Normally no checks are made.

   --  dF   Perform the new SPARK checking rules for pointer aliasing. This is
   --       only activated in GNATprove mode and on SPARK code. These rules are
   --       not yet part of the official SPARK language, but are expected to be
   --       included in a future version of SPARK.

   --  dG   Generate all warnings. Normally Errout suppresses warnings on
   --       units that are not part of the main extended source, and also
   --       suppresses warnings on instantiations in the main extended
   --       source that duplicate warnings already posted on the template.
   --       This switch stops both kinds of deletion and causes Errout to
   --       post all warnings sent to it.

   --  dH   Inhibit call to gigi. This is useful for testing front end data
   --       layout, and may be useful in other debugging situations where
   --       you do not want gigi to intefere with the testing.

   --  dI   Inhibit internal name numbering in gnatDG listing. Any sequence of
   --       the form <uppercase-letter><digits><lowercase-letter> appearing in
   --       a name is replaced by <uppercase-letter>...<lowercase-letter>. This
   --       is used in the fixed bugs run to minimize system and version
   --       dependency in filed -gnatD or -gnatG output.

   --  dJ   Prepend the name of the enclosing subprogram in compiler messages
   --       (errors, warnings, style checks). This is useful in particular to
   --       integrate compiler warnings in static analysis tools such as
   --       CodePeer.

   --  dK   Kill all error messages. This debug flag suppresses the output
   --       of all error messages. It is used in regression tests where the
   --       error messages are target dependent and irrelevant.

   --  dL   The compiler ignores calls in instances and invoke subprograms
   --       which are external to the instance for the static elaboration
   --       model. This switch is orthogonal to d.G.

   --  dM   Assume all variables have been modified, and ignore current value
   --       indications. This debug flag disconnects the tracking of constant
   --       values (see Exp_Ch2.Expand_Current_Value).

   --  dN   Do not generate file name information in exception messages

   --  dO   Output immediate error messages. This causes error messages to
   --       be output as soon as they are generated (disconnecting several
   --       circuits for improvement of messages, deletion of duplicate
   --       messages etc). Useful to diagnose compiler bombs caused by
   --       erroneous handling of error situations

   --  dP   Do not check for controlled objects in preelaborable packages.
   --       RM 10.2.1(9) forbids the use of library level controlled objects
   --       in preelaborable packages, but this restriction is a huge pain,
   --       especially in the predefined library units.

   --  dQ   Use old method for determining what goes on the secondary stack.
   --       This disables some newer optimizations. The intent is to use this
   --       temporarily to measure before/after efficiency. ???Remove this
   --       when we are done (see Sem_Util.Requires_Transient_Scope).

   --  dR   Bypass the check for a proper version of s-rpc being present
   --       to use the -gnatz? switch. This allows debugging of the use
   --       of stubs generation without needing to have GLADE (or some
   --       other PCS  installed).

   --  dS   Omit conversion of fpt numbers to exact machine numbers in
   --       non-static evaluation contexts (see Check_Non_Static_Context).
   --       This is intended for testing out timing problems with this
   --       conversion circuit.

   --  dT   Similar to dS, but omits the conversions only in the case where
   --       the parent is not a constant declaration.

   --  dU   Enable garbage collection of unreachable entities. This enables
   --       both the reachability analysis and changing the Is_Public and
   --       Is_Eliminated flags.

   --  dV   Enable viewing of all symbols in debugger. Causes debug information
   --       to be generated for all symbols, including internal symbols. This
   --       is enabled by default for -gnatD, but this switch allows this to
   --       be enabled without generating modified source files. Note that the
   --       use of -gnatdV ensures in the dwarf/elf case that all symbols that
   --       are present in the elf tables are also in the dwarf tables (which
   --       seems to be required by some tools). Another effect of dV is to
   --       generate full qualified names, including internal names generated
   --       for blocks and loops.

   --  dW   Disable warnings when a possibly uninitialized scalar value is
   --       passed to an IN OUT parameter of a procedure. This usage is a
   --       quite improper bounded error [erroneous in Ada 83] situation,
   --       and would normally generate a warning. However, to ease the
   --       task of transitioning incorrect legacy code, we provide this
   --       undocumented feature for suppressing these warnings.

   --  dY   Enable configurable run-time mode, just as though the System file
   --       had Configurable_Run_Time_Mode set to True. This is useful in
   --       testing high integrity mode.

   --  dZ   Generate listing showing the contents of the dispatch tables. Each
   --       line has an internally generated number used for references between
   --       tagged types and primitives. For each primitive the output has the
   --       following fields:
   --
   --         - Letter 'P' or letter 's': The former indicates that this
   --           primitive will be located in a primary dispatch table. The
   --           latter indicates that it will be located in a secondary
   --           dispatch table.
   --
   --         - Name of the primitive. In case of predefined Ada primitives
   --           the text "(predefined)" is added before the name, and these
   --           acronyms are used: SR (Stream_Read), SW (Stream_Write), SI
   --           (Stream_Input), SO (Stream_Output), DA (Deep_Adjust), DF
   --           (Deep_Finalize). In addition Oeq identifies the equality
   --           operator, and "_assign" the assignment.
   --
   --         - If the primitive covers interface types, two extra fields
   --           referencing other primitives are generated: "Alias" references
   --           the primitive of the tagged type that covers an interface
   --           primitive, and "AI_Alias" references the covered interface
   --           primitive.
   --
   --         - The expression "at #xx" indicates the slot of the dispatch
   --           table occupied by such primitive in its corresponding primary
   --           or secondary dispatch table.
   --
   --         - In case of abstract subprograms the text "is abstract" is
   --           added at the end of the line.

   --  d.a  Force Target_Strict_Alignment to True, even on targets where it
   --       would normally be false. Can be used for testing strict alignment
   --       circuitry in the compiler.

   --  d.b  Dump back end types. During Create_Standard, the back end is
   --       queried for all available types. This option shows them.

   --  d.c  Generate inline concatenation, instead of calling one of the
   --       System.Concat_n.Str_Concat_n routines in cases where the latter
   --       routines would normally be called.

   --  d.d  Disable atomic synchronization for all atomic variable references.
   --       Pragma Enable_Atomic_Synchronization is ignored.

   --  d.e  Enable atomic synchronization for all atomic variable references.
   --       Pragma Disable_Atomic_Synchronization is ignored, and also the
   --       compiler switch -gnated is ignored.

   --  d.f  Suppress folding of static expressions. This of course results
   --       in seriously non-conforming behavior, but is useful sometimes
   --       when tracking down handling of complex expressions.

   --  d.g  Enables conversion of a raise statement into a goto when the
   --       relevant handler is statically determinable. For now we only try
   --       this if this debug flag is set. Later we will enable this more
   --       generally by default.

   --  d.h  Minimize the creation of public internal symbols for concatenation
   --       by enforcing a secondary stack-like handling of the final result.
   --       The target of the concatenation is thus constrained in place and
   --       initialized with the result instead of acting as its alias.

   --  d.i  Ignore all occurrences of pragma Warnings in the sources. This can
   --       be used in particular to disable Warnings (Off) to check if any of
   --       these statements are inappropriate.

   --  d.k  If an error message contains a reference to a location in an
   --       internal unit, then suppress the line number in this reference.

   --  d.j  Generate listing of frontend inlined calls and inline calls passed
   --       to the backend. This is useful to locate skipped calls that must be
   --       inlined by the frontend.

   --  d.l  Use Ada 95 semantics for limited function returns. This may be
   --       used to work around the incompatibility introduced by AI-318-2.
   --       It is useful only in Ada 2005 and later.

   --  d.m  When -gnatl is used, the normal output includes full listings of
   --       all files in the extended main source (body/spec/subunits). If this
   --       debug switch is used, then the full listing is given only for the
   --       main source (this corresponds to a previous behavior of -gnatl and
   --       is used for running the ACATS tests).

   --  d.n  Print source file names as they are loaded. This is useful if the
   --       compiler has a bug -- these are the files that need to be included
   --       in a bug report.

   --  d.o  Conservative elaboration order for indirect calls. This causes
   --       P'Access to be treated as a call in more cases.

   --  d.p  In Ada 95 (or 83) mode, use original Ada 95 behavior for the
   --       interpretation of component clauses crossing byte boundaries when
   --       using the non-default bit order (i.e. ignore AI95-0133).

   --  d.q  If an array variable or constant is not modified in Ada code, and
   --       is passed to an 'in' parameter of a foreign-convention subprogram,
   --       and that subprogram modifies the array, the Ada compiler normally
   --       assumes that the array is not modified. This option suppresses such
   --       optimizations. This option should not be used; the correct solution
   --       is to declare the parameter 'in out'.

   --  d.r  Do not reorder components in record types.

   --  d.s  The compiler no longer attempts to optimize the calls to secondary
   --       stack management routines SS_Mark and SS_Release. As a result, each
   --       transient block tasked with secondary stack management will fulfill
   --       its role unconditionally.

   --  d.s  The compiler does not generate calls to secondary stack management
   --       routines SS_Mark and SS_Release for a transient block when there is
   --       an enclosing scoping construct which already manages the secondary
   --       stack.

   --  d.t  The compiler has been modified (a fairly extensive modification)
   --       to generate static dispatch tables for library level tagged types.
   --       This debug switch disables this modification and reverts to the
   --       previous dynamic construction of tables. It is there as a possible
   --       work around if we run into trouble with the new implementation.

   --  d.u  Sets Modify_Tree_For_C mode in which tree is modified to make it
   --       easier to generate code using a C compiler.

   --  d.v  This flag enforces the elaboration rules defined in the SPARK
   --       Reference Manual, chapter 7.7, to all SPARK code within a unit. As
   --       a result, constructs which violate the rules in chapter 7.7 are no
   --       longer accepted, even if the implementation is able to statically
   --       ensure that accepting these constructs does not introduce the
   --       possibility of failing an elaboration check.

   --  d.w  This flag turns off the scanning of loops to detect possible
   --       infinite loops.

   --  d.x  No exception handlers in generated code. This causes exception
   --       handlers to be eliminated from the generated code. They are still
   --       fully compiled and analyzed, they just get eliminated from the
   --       code generation step.

   --  d.y  Disable implicit pragma Elaborate_All on task bodies. When a task
   --       body calls a procedure in the same package, and that procedure
   --       calls a procedure in another package, the static elaboration
   --       machinery adds an implicit Elaborate_All on the other package. This
   --       switch disables the addition of the implicit pragma in such cases.

   --  d.z  Restore previous front-end support for Inline_Always. In default
   --       mode, for targets that use the GCC back end, Inline_Always is
   --       handled by the back end. Use of this switch restores the previous
   --       handling of Inline_Always by the front end on such targets. For the
   --       targets that do not use the GCC back end, this switch is ignored.

   --  d.A  There seems to be a problem with ASIS if we activate the circuit
   --       for reading and writing the aspect specification hash table, so
   --       for now, this is controlled by the debug flag d.A. The hash table
   --       is only written and read if this flag is set.

   --  d.B  Generate a bug box when we see an abort_statement, even though
   --       there is no bug. Useful for testing Comperr.Compiler_Abort: write
   --       some code containing an abort_statement, and compile it with
   --       -gnatd.B. There is nothing special about abort_statements; it just
   --       provides a way to control where the bug box is generated. See "when
   --       N_Abort_Statement" in package body Expander.

   --  d.C  Generate call to System.Concat_n.Str_Concat_n routines in cases
   --       where we would normally generate inline concatenation code.

   --  d.D  For compatibility with some Ada 95 compilers implementing only
   --       one feature of Ada 2005 (overriding keyword), disable errors on use
   --       of overriding keyword in Ada 95 mode.

   --  d.E  Turn selected errors into warnings. This debug switch causes a
   --       specific set of error messages into warnings. Setting this switch
   --       causes Opt.Error_To_Warning to be set to True. The intention is
   --       that this be used for messages representing upwards incompatible
   --       changes to Ada 2012 that cause previously correct programs to be
   --       treated as illegal now. The following cases are affected:
   --
   --          Errors relating to overlapping subprogram parameters for cases
   --          other than IN OUT parameters to functions.
   --
   --          Errors relating to the new rules about not defining equality
   --          too late so that composition of equality can be assured.
   --
   --          Errors relating to overriding indicators on protected subprogram
   --          bodies (not an Ada 2012 incompatibility, but might cause errors
   --          for existing programs assuming they were legal because GNAT
   --          formerly allowed them).

   --  d.F  Sets GNATprove_Mode to True. This allows debugging the frontend in
   --       the special mode used by GNATprove.

   --  d.G  Previously the compiler ignored calls via generic formal parameters
   --       when doing the analysis for the static elaboration model. This is
   --       now fixed, but we provide this debug flag to revert to the previous
   --       situation of ignoring such calls to aid in transition. This switch
   --       is orthogonal to dL.

   --  d.H  Sets ASIS_GNSA_Mode to True. This signals the front end to suppress
   --       the call to gigi in ASIS_Mode.

   --  d.I  Do not ignore enum representation clauses in CodePeer mode.
   --       The default of ignoring representation clauses for enumeration
   --       types in CodePeer is good for the majority of Ada code, but in some
   --       cases being able to change this default might be useful to remove
   --       some false positives.

   --  d.J  Relaxed rules for pragma No_Return. A pragma No_Return is illegal
   --       if it applies to a body. This switch disables the legality check
   --       for that. If the procedure does in fact return normally, execution
   --       is erroneous, and therefore unpredictable.

   --  d.K  Enable generation of contract-only procedures in CodePeer mode and
   --       report a warning on subprograms for which the contract-only body
   --       cannot be built. Currently reported on subprograms defined in
   --       nested package specs that have some formal (or return type) whose
   --       type is a private type defined in some enclosing package and that
   --       have pre/postconditions.

   --  d.L  Normally the front end generates special expansion for conditional
   --       expressions of a limited type. This debug flag removes this special
   --       case expansion, leaving it up to the back end to handle conditional
   --       expressions correctly.

   --  d.M  Relaxed RM semantics. This flag sets Opt.Relaxed_RM_Semantics
   --       See Opt.Relaxed_RM_Semantics for more details.

   --  d.N  Enlarge entities by one node (but don't attempt to use this extra
   --       node for storage of any flags or fields). This can be used to do
   --       experiments on the impact of increasing entity sizes.

   --  d.O  Dump internal SCO tables. Before outputting the SCO information to
   --       the ALI file, the internal SCO tables (SCO_Table/SCO_Unit_Table)
   --       are dumped for debugging purposes.

   --  d.P  Previous non-optimized handling of length comparisons. Setting this
   --       flag inhibits the effect of Optimize_Length_Comparison in Exp_Ch4.
   --       This is there in case we find a situation where the optimization
   --       malfunctions, to provide a work around.

   --  d.Q  Previous incomplete style checks for binary operators. Style checks
   --       for token separation rules were incomplete and have been made
   --       compliant with the documentation. For example, no warning was
   --       issued for expressions such as 16-One or "A"&"B". Setting this flag
   --       inhibits these new checks.

   --  d.R  As documented in lib-writ.ads, restrictions in the ali file can
   --       have two forms, positional and named. The named notation is the
   --       current preferred form, but the use of this debug switch will force
   --       the use of the obsolescent positional form.

   --  d.S  Force Optimize_Alignment (Space) mode as the default

   --  d.T  Force Optimize_Alignment (Time) mode as the default

   --  d.U  Ignore indirect calls for static elaboration. The static
   --       elaboration model is conservative, especially regarding indirect
   --       calls. If you say Proc'Access, it will assume you might call
   --       Proc. This can cause elaboration cycles at bind time. This flag
   --       reverts to the behavior of earlier compilers, which ignored
   --       indirect calls.

   --  d.V  Do not verify the validity of SCIL files (CodePeer mode). When
   --       generating SCIL files for CodePeer, by default we verify that the
   --       SCIL is well formed before saving it on disk. This switch can be
   --       used to disable this checking, either to improve speed or to shut
   --       down a false positive detected during the verification.

   --  d.W  Print out debugging information for Walk_Library_Items, including
   --       the order in which units are walked. This is primarily for use in
   --       debugging CodePeer mode.

   --  d.X  A previous version of GNAT allowed indexing aspects to be redefined
   --       on derived container types, while the default iterator was
   --       inherited from the parent type. This nonstandard extension is
   --       preserved temporarily for use by the modeling project under debug
   --       flag d.X.

   --  d.Z  Normally we always enable expansion in configurable run-time mode
   --       to make sure we get error messages about unsupported features even
   --       when compiling in -gnatc mode. But expansion is turned off in this
   --       case if debug flag -gnatd.Z is used. This is to deal with the case
   --       where we discover difficulties in this new processing.

   --  d1   Error messages have node numbers where possible. Normally error
   --       messages have only source locations. This option is useful when
   --       debugging errors caused by expanded code, where the source location
   --       does not give enough information.

   --  d2   Suppress output of the error position flags for verbose form error
   --       messages. The messages are still interspersed in the listing, but
   --       without any error flags or extra blank lines. Also causes an extra
   --       <<< to be output at the right margin. This is intended to be the
   --       easiest format for checking conformance of ACATS B tests. This
   --       flag also suppresses the additional messages explaining why a
   --       non-static expression is non-static (see Sem_Eval.Why_Not_Static).
   --       This avoids having to worry about these messages in ACATS testing.

   --  d3   Causes Comperr to dump the contents of the node for which an abort
   --       was detected (normally only the Node_Id of the node is output).

   --  d4   Inhibits automatic krunching of predefined library unit file names.
   --       Normally, as described in the spec of package Krunch, such files
   --       are automatically krunched to 8 characters, with special treatment
   --       of the prefixes Ada, System, and Interfaces. Setting this debug
   --       switch disables this special treatment.

   --  d5   Causes the tree read/write circuit to output detailed information
   --       tracking the data that is read and written element by element.

   --  d6   Normally access-to-unconstrained-array types are represented
   --       using fat (double) pointers. Using this debug flag causes them
   --       to default to thin. This can be used to test the performance
   --       implications of using thin pointers, and also to test that the
   --       compiler functions correctly with this choice.

   --  d7   Normally a -gnatl or -gnatv listing includes the time stamp of the
   --       source file and the time of the compilation. This debug flag can
   --       be used to suppress this output, and also suppresses the message
   --       with the version of the compiler. This is useful for regression
   --       tests which need to have consistent output.

   --  d8   This forces the packed stuff to generate code assuming the
   --       opposite endianness from the actual correct value. Useful in
   --       testing out code generation from the packed routines.

   --  d9   This allows lock free implementation for protected objects
   --       (see Exp_Ch9).

   --  d.1  Sets Opt.Unnest_Subprogram_Mode to enable unnesting of subprograms.
   --       This special pass does not actually unnest things, but it ensures
   --       that a nested procedure does not contain any uplevel references.
   --       See spec of Exp_Unst for full details.

   --  d.2  Allow statements within declarative parts. This is not usually
   --       allowed, but in some debugging contexts (e.g. testing the circuit
   --       for unnesting of procedures), it is useful to allow this.

   --  d.3  Output debugging information from Exp_Unst, including the name of
   --       any unreachable subprograms that get deleted.

   --  d.4  By default in case of an error during C generation, the .c or .h
   --       file is deleted. This flag keeps the C file.

   --  d.5  By default a subprogram imported generates a subprogram profile.
   --       This debug flag disables this generation when generating C code,
   --       assuming a proper #include will be used instead.

   --  d.6  By default the C back-end avoids declaring types that are not
   --       referenced by the generated C code. This debug flag restores the
   --       output of all the types.

   --  d.9  Enable build-in-place for function calls returning some nonlimited
   --       types.

   -- Documentation for Binder Debug Flags --
   ------------------------------------------

   --  da  Normally if there is an elaboration circularity, then in describing
   --      the cycle, links involving internal units are omitted, since they
   --      are irrelevant and confusing. This debug flag causes all links to
   --      be listed, and is useful when diagnosing circularities introduced
   --      by incorrect changes to the run-time library itself.

   --  db  Output debug information from Better_Choice in Binde, which uses
   --      various heuristics to determine elaboration order in cases where
   --      multiple orders are valid.

   --  dc  List units as they are chosen. As units are selected for addition to
   --      the elaboration order, a line of output is generated showing which
   --      unit has been selected.

   --  de  Similar to the effect of -e (output complete list of elaboration
   --      dependencies) except that internal units are included in the
   --      listing.

   --  di  Normally gnatbind calls Read_Ali with Ignore_Errors set to
   --      False, since the binder really needs correct version ALI
   --      files to do its job. This debug flag causes Ignore_Errors
   --      mode to be set for the binder (and is particularly useful
   --      for testing ignore errors mode).

   --  dn  List details of manipulation of Num_Pred values during execution of
   --      the algorithm used to determine a correct order of elaboration. This
   --      is useful in diagnosing any problems in its behavior.

   --  do  Use older elaboration order preference. The new preference rules
   --      prefer specs with no bodies to specs with bodies, and between two
   --      specs with bodies, prefers the one whose body is closer to being
   --      able to be elaborated. This is a clear improvement, but we provide
   --      this debug flag in case of regressions. Note: -do is even older
   --      than -dp.

   --  dp  Use old elaboration order preference. The new preference rules
   --      elaborate all units within a strongly connected component together,
   --      with no other units in between. In particular, if a spec/body pair
   --      can be elaborated together, it will be. In the new order, the binder
   --      behaves as if every pragma Elaborate_All that would be legal is
   --      present, even if it does not appear in the source code.

   --  du  List unit name and file name for each unit as it is read in

   --  dv  Verbose debugging printouts

   --  dx  Force the binder to read (and then ignore) the xref information
   --      in ali files (used to check that read circuit is working OK).
