This is a prototype implementation of a language extension that allows calls to primitives of untagged types to be written using prefixed notation. That is, the first actual parameter of the call is given as a prefix using selected_component syntax, and the selector is a primitive operation of the actual's type). The basic implementation approach is to employ the Direct_Primitive_Operations field for use by untagged types. While we could choose to include only the primitives for which a prefixed call could be made, it seems better to include all primitives, consistent with the meaning of this list and for uniformity with tagged types. Tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, committed on trunk gcc/ada/ * doc/gnat_rm/implementation_defined_pragmas.rst: Add a description of the feature of prefixed-view calls for untagged types to the section on pragma Extensions_Allowed. * gnat_rm.texi: Regenerate. * einfo.ads: Update specification for Direct_Primitive_Operations to reflect its use for untagged types when Extensions_Allowed is True. * gen_il-gen-gen_entities.adb: Allow Direct_Primitive_Operations as a field of untagged classes of types by removing the "Pre" test of "Is_Tagged_Type (N)", and making that field generally available for all types and subtypes by defining it for Type_Kind and removing its specification for individual classes of types. * sem_ch3.adb (Analyze_Full_Type_Declaration): Initialize the Direct_Primitive_Operations list when not already set for the new (sub)type and its base type (except when Ekind of the type is E_Void, which can happen due to errors in cases where Derived_Type_Declaration is called and perhaps in other situations). (Analyze_Subtype_Declaration): Inherit Direct_Primitive_Operations list from the base type, for record and private cases. (Build_Derived_Record_Type): Initialize the Direct_Primitive_Operations list for derived record and private types. (Build_Derived_Type): Initialize the Direct_Primitive_Operations list for derived types (and also for their associated base types when needed). (Process_Full_View): For full types that are untagged record and private types, copy the primitive operations of the partial view to the primitives list of the full view. * sem_ch4.adb (Analyze_Selected_Component): Allow prefixed notation for subprogram calls in the case of untagged types (when Extensions_Allowed is True). In the case where Is_Private_Type (Prefix_Type) is True, call Try_Object_Operation when a discriminant selector wasn't found. Also call Try_Object_Operation in other type kind cases (when Extensions_Allowed is True). (Try_Object_Operation.Try_One_Prefixed_Interpretation): Prevent early return in the untagged case (when Extensions_Allowed is True). Condition main call to Try_Primitive_Operation on the type having primitives, and after that, if Prim_Result is False, test for case where the prefix type is a named access type with primitive operations and in that case call Try_Primitive_Operation after temporarily resetting Obj_Type to denote the access type (and restore it to the designated type after the call) (Try_Object_Operation.Valid_First_Argument_Of): Do matching type comparison by testing Base_Type (Obj_Type) against Base_Type (Typ), rather than against just Typ, to properly handle cases where the object prefix has a constrained subtype. (Fixes a bug discovered while working on this feature.) * sem_ch6.adb (New_Overloaded_Entity.Check_For_Primitive_Subprogram): Add a primitive of an untagged type to the type's list of primitive operations, for both explicit and implicit (derived, so Comes_From_Source is False) subprogram declarations. In the case where the new primitive overrides an inherited subprogram, locate the primitives Elist that references the overridden subprogram, and replace that element of the list with the new subprogram (done by calling the new procedure Add_Or_Replace_Untagged_Primitive on the result type and each formal atype). (Check_For_Primitive_Subprogram.Add_Or_Replace_Untagged_Primitive): New nested procedure to either add or replace an untagged primitive subprogram in a given type's list of primitive operations (replacement happens in case where the new subprogram overrides a primitive of the type). * sem_ch7.adb (New_Private_Type): When Extensions_Allowed is True, initialize the Direct_Primitive_Operations list of a private type to New_Elmt_List in the case of untagged types. * sem_ch8.adb (Find_Selected_Component): In the case where the prefix is an entity name, relax condition that tests Has_Components so that Analyze_Selected_Component will also be called when Extensions_Allowed is True and the prefix type is any type.
