--  This package contains a set of auxiliary routines used by the Text_IO

--  generic children, including for reading and writing numeric strings.

package Ada.Text_IO.Generic_Aux is
   --  Note: for all the Load routines, File indicates the file to be read,
   --  Buf is the string into which data is stored, Ptr is the index of the
   --  last character stored so far, and is updated if additional characters
   --  are stored. Data_Error is raised if the input overflows Buf. The only
   --  Load routines that do a file status check are Load_Skip and Load_Width

   --  so one of these two routines must be called first.
   procedure Check_End_Of_Field
     (File  : File_Type;
      Buf   : String;
      Stop  : Integer;
      Ptr   : Integer;
      Width : Field);
   --  This routine is used after doing a get operations on a numeric value.
   --  Buf is the string being scanned, and Stop is the last character of
   --  the field being scanned. Ptr is as set by the call to the scan routine
   --  that scanned out the numeric value, i.e. it points one past the last
   --  character scanned, and Width is the width parameter from the Get call.
   --
   --  There are two cases, if Width is non-zero, then a check is made that
   --  the remainder of the field is all blanks. If Width is zero, then it
   --  means that the scan routine scanned out only part of the field. We
   --  have already scanned out the field that the ACVC tests seem to expect
   --  us to read (even if it does not follow the syntax of the type being
   --  scanned, e.g. allowing negative exponents in integers, and underscores

   --  at the end of the string), so we just raise Data_Error.
   procedure Check_On_One_Line (File : File_Type; Length : Integer);
   --  Check to see if item of length Integer characters can fit on
   --  current line. Call New_Line if not, first checking that the
   --  line length can accomodate Length characters, raise Layout_Error

   --  if item is too large for a single line.
   function Getc (File : File_Type) return Integer;
   --  Gets next character from file, which has already been checked for
   --  being in read status, and returns the character read if no error
   --  occurs. The result is EOF if the end of file was read. Note that
   --  the Col value is not bumped, so it is the caller's responsibility

   --  to bump it if necessary.
   function Is_Blank (C : Character) return Boolean;

   --  Determines if C is a blank (space or tab)
   procedure Load_Width
     (File  : File_Type;
      Width : in Field;
      Buf   : out String;
      Ptr   : in out Integer);

   --  Loads exactly Width characters, unless a line mark is encountered first
   procedure Load_Skip (File  : File_Type);
   --  Skips leading blanks and line and page marks, if the end of file is
   --  read without finding a non-blank character, then End_Error is raised.

   --  Note: a blank is defined as a space or horizontal tab (RM A.10.6(5)).

   --  Like Getc, but includes a call to Ungetc, so that the file

   --  pointer is not moved by the call.
   procedure Put_Item (File : File_Type; Str : String);
   --  This routine is like Text_IO.Put, except that it checks for overflow
   --  of bounded lines, as described in (RM A.10.6(8)). It is used for

   --  all output of numeric values and of enumeration values.
   procedure Store_Char
     (File : File_Type;
      ch   : Integer;
      Buf  : out String;
      Ptr  : in out Integer);
   --  Store a single character in buffer, checking for overflow and
   --  adjusting the column number in the file to reflect the fact

   --  that a character has been acquired from the input stream.
   procedure String_Skip (Str : String; Ptr : out Integer);
   --  Used in the Get from string procedures to skip leading blanks in the
   --  string. Ptr is set to the index of the first non-blank. If the string
   --  is all blanks, then the excption End_Error is raised, Note that blank

   --  is defined as a space or horizontal tab (RM A.10.6(5)).
   procedure Ungetc (ch : Integer; File : File_Type);
   --  Pushes back character into stream, using ungetc. The caller has
   --  checked that the file is in read status. Device_Error is raised
   --  if the character cannot be pushed back. An attempt to push back

   --  an end of file (EOF) is ignored.
