-1 Overview
-**********
-
-The Emacs mode for programming in Ada helps the user in understanding
-existing code and facilitates writing new code.
-
- When the GNU Ada compiler GNAT is used, the cross-reference
-information output by the compiler is used to provide powerful code
-navigation (jump to definition, find all uses, etc.).
-
- When you open a file with a file extension of ‘.ads’ or ‘.adb’, Emacs
-will automatically load and activate Ada mode.
-
- Ada mode works without any customization, if you are using the GNAT
-compiler (<https://libre2.adacore.com/>) and the GNAT default naming
-convention.
-
- You must customize a few things if you are using a different compiler
-or file naming convention; *Note Other compiler::, *Note Non-standard
-file names::.
-
- In addition, you may want to customize the indentation,
-capitalization, and other things; *Note Other customization::.
-
- Finally, for large Ada projects, you will want to set up an Emacs Ada
-mode project file for each project; *Note Project files::. Note that
-these are different from the GNAT project files used by gnatmake and
-other GNAT commands.
-
- See the Emacs info manual, section ’Running Debuggers Under Emacs’,
-for general information on debugging.

-
-2 Installation
-**************
-
-Ada mode is part of the standard Emacs distribution; if you use that, no
-files need to be installed.
-
- Ada mode is also available as a separate distribution, from the Emacs
-Ada mode website
-<http://stephe-leake.org/emacs/ada-mode/emacs-ada-mode.html>. The
-separate distribution may be more recent.
-
- For installing the separate distribution, see the ‘README’ file in
-the distribution.
-
- To see what version of Ada mode you have installed, do ‘M-x
-ada-mode-version’.
-
- The following files are provided with the Ada mode distribution:
-
- • ‘ada-mode.el’: The main file for Ada mode, providing indentation,
- formatting of parameter lists, moving through code, comment
- handling and automatic casing.
-
- • ‘ada-prj.el’: GUI editing of Ada mode project files, using Emacs
- widgets.
-
- • ‘ada-stmt.el’: Ada statement templates.
-
- • ‘ada-xref.el’: GNAT cross-references, completion of identifiers,
- and compilation. Also provides project files (which are not
- GNAT-specific).

-3 Customizing Ada mode
-**********************
-
-Here we assume you are familiar with setting variables in Emacs, either
-thru ’customize’ or in elisp (in your ‘.emacs’ file). For a basic
-introduction to customize, elisp, and Emacs in general, see the tutorial
-in *note The GNU Emacs Manual: (emacs)Top.
-
- These global Emacs settings are strongly recommended (put them in
-your .emacs):
-
- (global-font-lock-mode t)
- (transient-mark-mode t)
-
- ‘(global-font-lock-mode t)’ turns on syntax highlighting for all
-buffers (it is off by default because it may be too slow for some
-machines).
-
- ‘(transient-mark-mode t)’ highlights selected text.
-
- See the Emacs help for each of these variables for more information.

-
-3.1 Non-standard file names
-===========================
-
-By default, Ada mode is configured to use the GNAT file naming
-convention, where file names are a simple modification of the Ada names,
-and the extension for specs and bodies are ‘.ads’ and ‘.adb’,
-respectively.
-
- Ada mode uses the file extensions to allow moving from a package body
-to the corresponding spec and back.
-
- Ada mode supports a list of alternative file extensions for specs and
-bodies.
-
- For instance, if your spec and bodies files are called ‘UNIT_s.ada’
-and ‘UNIT_b.ada’, respectively, you can add the following to your
-‘.emacs’ file:
-
- (ada-add-extensions "_s.ada" "_b.ada")
-
- You can define additional extensions:
-
- (ada-add-extensions ".ads" "_b.ada")
- (ada-add-extensions ".ads" ".body")
-
- This means that whenever Ada mode looks for the body for a file whose
-extension is ‘.ads’, it will take the first available file that ends
-with either ‘.adb’, ‘_b.ada’ or ‘.body’.
-
- Similarly, if Ada mode is looking for a spec, it will look for ‘.ads’
-or ‘_s.ada’.
-
- If the filename is not derived from the Ada name following the GNAT
-convention, things are a little more complicated. You then need to
-rewrite the function ‘ada-make-filename-from-adaname’. Doing that is
-beyond the scope of this manual; see the current definitions in
-‘ada-mode.el’ and ‘ada-xref.el’ for examples.
-

-
-3.2 Other compiler
-==================
-
-By default, Ada mode is configured to use the GNU Ada compiler GNAT.
-
- To use a different Ada compiler, you must specify the command lines
-used to run that compiler, either in lisp variables or in Emacs Ada mode
-project files. See *note Project file variables:: for the list of
-project variables, and the corresponding lisp variables.
-
-
-File: ada-mode.info, Node: Other customization, Prev: Other compiler, Up: Customization
-
-3.3 Other customization
-=======================
-
-All user-settable Ada mode variables can be set via the menu ‘Ada |
-Customize’. Click on the ‘Help’ button there for help on using
-customize.
-
- To modify a specific variable, you can directly call the function
-‘customize-variable’; just type ‘M-x customize-variable <RET>
-VARIABLE-NAME <RET>’).
-
- Alternately, you can specify variable settings in the Emacs
-configuration file, ‘.emacs’. This file is coded in Emacs lisp, and the
-syntax to set a variable is the following:
- (setq variable-name value)

-
-4 Compiling Executing
-*********************
-
-Ada projects can be compiled, linked, and executed using commands on the
-Ada menu. All of these commands can be customized via a project file
-(*note Project files::), but the defaults are sufficient for using the
-GNAT compiler for simple projects (single files, or several files in a
-single directory).
-
- Even when no project file is used, the GUI project editor (menu ‘Ada
-| Project | Edit’) shows the settings of the various project file
-variables referenced here.

-* Compile commands::
-* Compiler errors::
-
-
-File: ada-mode.info, Node: Compile commands, Next: Compiler errors, Up: Compiling Executing
-
-4.1 Compile commands
-====================
-
-Here are the commands for building and using an Ada project, as listed
-in the Ada menu.
-
- In multi-file projects, there must be one file that is the main
-program. That is given by the ‘main’ project file variable; it defaults
-to the current file if not yet set, but is also set by the “set main and
-build” command.
-
-‘Check file’
- Compiles the current file in syntax check mode, by running
- ‘check_cmd’ defined in the current project file. This typically
- runs faster than full compile mode, speeding up finding and fixing
- compilation errors.
-
- This sets ‘main’ only if it has not been set yet.
-
-‘Compile file’
- Compiles the current file, by running ‘comp_cmd’ from the current
- project file.
-
- This does not set ‘main’.
-
-‘Set main and Build’
- Sets ‘main’ to the current file, then executes the Build command.
-
-‘Show main’
- Display ‘main’ in the message buffer.
-
-‘Build’
- Compiles all obsolete units of the current ‘main’, and links
- ‘main’, by running ‘make_cmd’ from the current project.
-
- This sets ‘main’ only if it has not been set yet.
-
-‘Run’
- Executes the main program in a shell, displayed in a separate Emacs
- buffer. This runs ‘run_cmd’ from the current project. The
- execution buffer allows for interactive input/output.
-
- To modify the run command, in particular to provide or change the
- command line arguments, type ‘C-u’ before invoking the command.
-
- This command is not available for a cross-compilation toolchain.
-
- It is important when using these commands to understand how ‘main’ is
-used and changed.
-
- Build runs ’gnatmake’ on the main unit. During a typical
-edit/compile session, this is the only command you need to invoke, which
-is why it is bound to ‘C-c C-c’. It will compile all files needed by
-the main unit, and display compilation errors in any of them.
-
- Note that Build can be invoked from any Ada buffer; typically you
-will be fixing errors in files other than the main, but you don’t have
-to switch back to the main to invoke the compiler again.
-
- Novices and students typically work on single-file Ada projects. In
-this case, ‘C-c C-m’ will normally be the only command needed; it will
-build the current file, rather than the last-built main.
-
- There are three ways to change ‘main’:
-
- 1. Invoke ‘Ada | Set main and Build’, which sets ‘main’ to the current
- file.
-
- 2. Invoke ‘Ada | Project | Edit’, edit ‘main’ and ‘main’, and click
- ‘[save]’
-
- 3. Invoke ‘Ada | Project | Load’, and load a project file that
- specifies ‘main’
-
-
-File: ada-mode.info, Node: Compiler errors, Prev: Compile commands, Up: Compiling Executing
-
-4.2 Compiler errors
-===================
-
-The ‘Check file’, ‘Compile file’, and ‘Build’ commands all place
-compilation errors in a separate buffer named ‘*compilation*’.
-
- Each line in this buffer will become active: you can simply click on
-it with the middle button of the mouse, or move point to it and press
-<RET>. Emacs will then display the relevant source file and put point
-on the line and column where the error was found.
-
- You can also press the ‘C-x `’ key (‘next-error’), and Emacs will
-jump to the first error. If you press that key again, it will move you
-to the second error, and so on.
-
- Some error messages might also include references to other files.
-These references are also clickable in the same way, or put point after
-the line number and press <RET>.

-5 Project files
-***************
-
-An Emacs Ada mode project file specifies what directories hold sources
-for your project, and allows you to customize the compilation commands
-and other things on a per-project basis.
-
- Note that Ada mode project files ‘*.adp’ are different than GNAT
-compiler project files ‘*.gpr’. However, Emacs Ada mode can use a GNAT
-project file to specify the project directories. If no other
-customization is needed, a GNAT project file can be used without an
-Emacs Ada mode project file.

-
-5.1 Project File Overview
-=========================
-
-Project files have a simple syntax; they may be edited directly. Each
-line specifies a project variable name and its value, separated by “=”:
- src_dir=/Projects/my_project/src_1
- src_dir=/Projects/my_project/src_2
-
- Some variables (like ‘src_dir’) are lists; multiple occurrences are
-concatenated.
-
- There must be no space between the variable name and “=”, and no
-trailing spaces.
-
- Alternately, a GUI editor for project files is available (*note GUI
-Editor::). It uses Emacs widgets, similar to Emacs customize.
-
- The GUI editor also provides a convenient way to view current project
-settings, if they have been modified using menu commands rather than by
-editing the project file.
-
- After the first Ada mode build command is invoked, there is always a
-current project file, given by the lisp variable
-‘ada-prj-default-project-file’. Currently, the only way to show the
-current project file is to invoke the GUI editor.
-
- To find the project file the first time, Ada mode uses the following
-search algorithm:
-
- • If ‘ada-prj-default-project-file’ is set, use that.
-
- • Otherwise, search for a file in the current directory with the same
- base name as the Ada file, but extension given by
- ‘ada-prj-file-extension’ (default ‘".adp"’).
-
- • If not found, search for ‘*.adp’ in the current directory; if
- several are found, prompt the user to select one.
-
- • If none are found, use ‘default.adp’ in the current directory (even
- if it does not exist).
-
- This algorithm always sets ‘ada-prj-default-project-file’, even when
-the file does not actually exist.
-
- To change the project file before or after the first one is found,
-invoke ‘Ada | Project | Load ...’.
-
- Or, in lisp, evaluate ‘(ada-set-default-project-file
-"/path/file.adp")’. This sets ‘ada-prj-default-project-file’, and reads
-the project file.
-
- You can also specify a GNAT project file to ‘Ada | Project | Load
-...’ or ‘ada-set-default-project-file’. Emacs Ada mode checks the file
-extension; if it is ‘.gpr’, the file is treated as a GNAT project file.
-Any other extension is treated as an Emacs Ada mode project file.
-
-
-File: ada-mode.info, Node: GUI Editor, Next: Project file variables, Prev: Project File Overview, Up: Project files
-
-5.2 GUI Editor
-==============
-
-The project file editor is invoked with the menu ‘Ada | Projects |
-Edit’.
-
- Once in the buffer for editing the project file, you can save your
-modification using the ‘[save]’ button at the bottom of the buffer, or
-the ‘C-x C-s’ binding. To cancel your modifications, kill the buffer or
-click on the ‘[cancel]’ button.
-
-
-File: ada-mode.info, Node: Project file variables, Prev: GUI Editor, Up: Project files
-
-5.3 Project file variables
-==========================
-
-The following variables can be defined in a project file; some can also
-be defined in lisp variables.
-
- To set a project variable that is a list, specify each element of the
-list on a separate line in the project file.
-
- Any project variable can be referenced in other project variables,
-using a shell-like notation. For instance, if the variable ‘comp_cmd’
-contains ‘${comp_opt}’, the value of the ‘comp_opt’ variable will be
-substituted when ‘comp_cmd’ is used.
-
- In addition, process environment variables can be referenced using
-the same syntax, or the normal ‘$var’ syntax.
-
- Most project variables have defaults that can be changed by setting
-lisp variables; the table below identifies the lisp variable for each
-project variable. Lisp variables corresponding to project variables
-that are lists are lisp lists.
-
- In general, project variables are evaluated when referenced in Emacs
-Ada mode commands. Relative file paths are expanded to absolute
-relative to ‘${build_dir}’.
-
- Here is the list of variables. In the default values, the current
-directory ‘"."’ is the project file directory.
-
-‘ada_project_path_sep’ [default: ‘":" or ";"’]
- Path separator for ‘ADA_PROJECT_PATH’. It defaults to the correct
- value for a native implementation of GNAT for the current operating
- system. The user must override this when using Windows native GNAT
- with Cygwin Emacs, and perhaps in other cases.
-
- Lisp variable: ‘ada-prj-ada-project-path-sep’.
-
-‘ada_project_path’ [default: ‘""’]
- A list of directories to search for GNAT project files.
-
- If set, the ‘ADA_PROJECT_PATH’ process environment variable is set
- to this value in the Emacs process when the Emacs Ada mode project
- is selected via menu ‘Ada | Project | Load’.
-
- For ‘ada_project_path’, relative file paths are expanded to
- absolute when the Emacs Ada project file is read, rather than when
- the project file is selected.
-
- For example if the project file is in the directory
- ‘/home/myproject’, the environment variable ‘GDS_ROOT’ is set to
- ‘/home/shared’, and the project file contains:
- ada_project_path_sep=:
- ada_project_path=$GDS_ROOT/makerules
- ada_project_path=../opentoken
- then as a result the environment variable ‘ADA_PROJECT_PATH’ will
- be set to ‘"/home/shared/makerules:/home/opentoken/"’.
-
- The default value is not the current value of this environment
- variable, because that will typically have been set by another
- project, and will therefore be incorrect for this project.
-
- If you have the environment variable set correctly for all of your
- projects, you do not need to set this project variable.
-
-‘bind_opt’ [default: ‘""’]
- Holds user binder options; used in the default build commands.
-
- Lisp variable: ‘ada-prj-default-bind-opt’.
-
-‘build_dir’ [default: ‘"."’]
- The compile commands will be issued in this directory.
-
-‘casing’ [default: ‘("~/.emacs_case_exceptions")’]
- List of files containing casing exceptions. See the help on
- ‘ada-case-exception-file’ for more info.
-
- Lisp variable: ‘ada-case-exception-file’.
-
-‘check_cmd’ [default: ‘"${cross_prefix}gnatmake -u -c -gnatc ${gnatmake_opt} ${full_current} -cargs ${comp_opt}"’]
- Command used to syntax check a single file. The name of the file
- is substituted for ‘full_current’.
-
- Lisp variable: ‘ada-prj-default-check-cmd’
-
-‘comp_cmd’ [default: ‘"${cross_prefix}gnatmake -u -c ${gnatmake_opt} ${full_current} -cargs ${comp_opt}"’]
- Command used to compile a single file. The name of the file is
- substituted for ‘full_current’.
-
- Lisp variable: ‘ada-prj-default-comp-cmd’.
-
-‘comp_opt’ [default: ‘"-gnatq -gnatQ"’]
- Holds user compiler options; used in the default compile commands.
- The default value tells gnatmake to generate library files for
- cross-referencing even when there are errors.
-
- If source code for the project is in multiple directories, the
- appropriate compiler options must be added here. *note Set source
- search path:: for examples of this. Alternately, GNAT project
- files may be used; *note Use GNAT project file::.
-
- Lisp variable: ‘ada-prj-default-comp-opt’.
-
-‘cross_prefix’ [default: ‘""’]
- Name of target machine in a cross-compilation environment. Used in
- default compile and build commands.
-
-‘debug_cmd’ [default: ‘"${cross_prefix}gdb ${main}"’]
- Command used to debug the application
-
- Lisp variable: ‘ada-prj-default-debugger’.
-
-‘debug_post_cmd’ [default: ‘""’]
- Command executed after ‘debug_cmd’.
-
-‘debug_pre_cmd’ [default: ‘"cd ${build_dir}"’]
- Command executed before ‘debug_cmd’.
-
-‘gnatfind_opt’ [default: ‘"-rf"’]
- Holds user gnatfind options; used in the default find commands.
-
- Lisp variable: ‘ada-prj-gnatfind-switches’.
-
-‘gnatmake_opt’ [default: ‘"-g"’]
- Holds user gnatmake options; used in the default build commands.
-
- Lisp variable: ‘ada-prj-default-gnatmake-opt’.
-
-‘gpr_file’ [default: ‘""’]
- Specify GNAT project file.
-
- If set, the source and object directories specified in the GNAT
- project file are appended to ‘src_dir’ and ‘obj_dir’. This allows
- specifying Ada source directories with a GNAT project file, and
- other source directories with the Emacs project file.
-
- In addition, ‘-P{gpr_file}’ is added to the project variable
- ‘gnatmake_opt’ whenever it is referenced. With the default project
- variables, this passes the project file to all gnatmake commands.
-
- Lisp variable: ‘ada-prj-default-gpr-file’.
-
-‘link_opt’ [default: ‘""’]
- Holds user linker options; used in the default build commands.
-
- Lisp variable: ‘ada-prj-default-link-opt’.
-
-‘main’ [default: current file]
- Specifies the name of the executable file for the project; used in
- the default build commands.
-
-‘make_cmd’ [default: ‘"${cross_prefix}gnatmake -o ${main} ${main} ${gnatmake_opt} -cargs ${comp_opt} -bargs ${bind_opt} -largs ${link_opt}"’]
- Command used to build the application.
-
- Lisp variable: ‘ada-prj-default-make-cmd’.
-
-‘obj_dir’ [default: ‘"."’]
- A list of directories to search for library files. Ada mode
- searches this list for the ‘.ali’ files generated by GNAT that
- contain cross-reference information.
-
- The compiler commands must place the ‘.ali’ files in one of these
- directories; the default commands do that.
-
-‘remote_machine’ [default: ‘""’]
- Name of the machine to log into before issuing the compile and
- build commands. If this variable is empty, the command will be run
- on the local machine.
-
-‘run_cmd’ [default: ‘"./${main}"’]
- Command used to run the application.
-
-‘src_dir’ [default: ‘"."’]
- A list of directories to search for source files, both for compile
- commands and source navigation.

-6 Compiling Examples
-********************
-
-We present several small projects, and walk thru the process of
-compiling, linking, and running them.
-
- The first example illustrates more Ada mode features than the others;
-you should work thru that example before doing the others.
-
- All of these examples assume you are using GNAT.
-
- The source for these examples is available on the Emacs Ada mode
-website mentioned in *Note Installation::.
-
-* Menu:
-
-* No project files:: Just menus
-* Set compiler options:: A basic Ada mode project file
-* Set source search path:: Source in multiple directories

-6.1 No project files
-====================
-
-This example uses no project files.
-
- First, create a directory ‘Example_1’, containing:
-
- ‘hello.adb’:
-
- with Ada.Text_IO;
- procedure Hello
- is begin
- Put_Line("Hello from hello.adb");
- end Hello;
-
- Yes, this is missing “use Ada.Text_IO;” - we want to demonstrate
-compiler error handling.
-
- ‘hello_2.adb’:
-
- with Hello_Pkg;
- procedure Hello_2
- is begin
- Hello_Pkg.Say_Hello;
- end Hello_2;
-
- This file has no errors.
-
- ‘hello_pkg.ads’:
-
- package Hello_Pkg is
- procedure Say_Hello;
- end Hello_Pkg;
-
- This file has no errors.
-
- ‘hello_pkg.adb’:
-
- with Ada.Text_IO;
- package Hello_Pkg is
- procedure Say_Hello
- is begin
- Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line ("Hello from hello_pkg.adb");
- end Say_Hello;
- end Hello_Pkg;
-
- Yes, this is missing the keyword ‘body’; another compiler error
-example.
-
- In buffer ‘hello.adb’, invoke ‘Ada | Check file’. You should get a
-‘*compilation*’ buffer containing something like (the directory paths
-will be different):
-
- cd c:/Examples/Example_1/
- gnatmake -u -c -gnatc -g c:/Examples/Example_1/hello.adb -cargs -gnatq -gnatQ
- gcc -c -Ic:/Examples/Example_1/ -gnatc -g -gnatq -gnatQ -I- c:/Examples/Example_1/hello.adb
- hello.adb:4:04: "Put_Line" is not visible
- hello.adb:4:04: non-visible declaration at a-textio.ads:264
- hello.adb:4:04: non-visible declaration at a-textio.ads:260
- gnatmake: "c:/Examples/Example_1/hello.adb" compilation error
-
- If you have enabled font-lock, the lines with actual errors (starting
-with ‘hello.adb’) are highlighted, with the file name in red.
-
- Now type ‘C-x `’ (on a PC keyboard, <`> is next to <1>). Or you can
-click the middle mouse button on the first error line. The compilation
-buffer scrolls to put the first error on the top line, and point is put
-at the place of the error in the ‘hello.adb’ buffer.
-
- To fix the error, change the line to be
-
- Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line ("hello from hello.adb");
-
- Now invoke ‘Ada | Show main’; this displays ‘Ada mode main: hello’.
-
- Now (in buffer ‘hello.adb’), invoke ‘Ada | Build’. You are prompted
-to save the file (if you haven’t already). Then the compilation buffer
-is displayed again, containing:
-
- cd c:/Examples/Example_1/
- gnatmake -o hello hello -g -cargs -gnatq -gnatQ -bargs -largs
- gcc -c -g -gnatq -gnatQ hello.adb
- gnatbind -x hello.ali
- gnatlink hello.ali -o hello.exe -g
-
- The compilation has succeeded without errors; ‘hello.exe’ now exists
-in the same directory as ‘hello.adb’.
-
- Now invoke ‘Ada | Run’. A ‘*run*’ buffer is displayed, containing
-
- Hello from hello.adb
-
- Process run finished
-
- That completes the first part of this example.
-
- Now we will compile a multi-file project. Open the file
-‘hello_2.adb’, and invoke ‘Ada | Set main and Build’. This finds an
-error in ‘hello_pkg.adb’:
-
- cd c:/Examples/Example_1/
- gnatmake -o hello_2 hello_2 -g -cargs -gnatq -gnatQ -bargs -largs
- gcc -c -g -gnatq -gnatQ hello_pkg.adb
- hello_pkg.adb:2:08: keyword "body" expected here [see file name]
- gnatmake: "hello_pkg.adb" compilation error
-
- This demonstrates that gnatmake finds the files needed by the main
-program. However, it cannot find files in a different directory, unless
-you use an Emacs Ada mode project file to specify the other directories;
-*Note Set source search path::, or a GNAT project file; *note Use GNAT
-project file::.
-
- Invoke ‘Ada | Show main’; this displays ‘Ada mode main: hello_2’.
-
- Move to the error with ‘C-x `’, and fix the error by adding ‘body’:
-
- package body Hello_Pkg is
-
- Now, while still in ‘hello_pkg.adb’, invoke ‘Ada | Build’. gnatmake
-successfully builds ‘hello_2’. This demonstrates that Emacs has
-remembered the main file, in the project variable ‘main’, and used it
-for the Build command.
-
- Finally, again while in ‘hello_pkg.adb’, invoke ‘Ada | Run’. The
-‘*run*’ buffer displays ‘Hello from hello_pkg.adb’.
-
- One final point. If you switch back to buffer ‘hello.adb’, and
-invoke ‘Ada | Run’, ‘hello_2.exe’ will be run. That is because ‘main’
-is still set to ‘hello_2’, as you can see when you invoke ‘Ada | Project
-| Edit’.
-
- There are three ways to change ‘main’:
-
- 1. Invoke ‘Ada | Set main and Build’, which sets ‘main’ to the current
- file.
-
- 2. Invoke ‘Ada | Project | Edit’, edit ‘main’, and click ‘[save]’
-
- 3. Invoke ‘Ada | Project | Load’, and load a project file that
- specifies ‘main’

-6.2 Set compiler options
-========================
-
-This example illustrates using an Emacs Ada mode project file to set a
-compiler option.
-
- If you have files from ‘Example_1’ open in Emacs, you should close
-them so you don’t get confused. Use menu ‘File | Close (current
-buffer)’.
-
- In directory ‘Example_2’, create these files:
-
- ‘hello.adb’:
-
- with Ada.Text_IO;
- procedure Hello
- is begin
- Put_Line("Hello from hello.adb");
- end Hello;
-
- This is the same as ‘hello.adb’ from ‘Example_1’. It has two errors;
-missing “use Ada.Text_IO;”, and no space between ‘Put_Line’ and its
-argument list.
-
- ‘hello.adp’:
-
- comp_opt=-gnatyt
-
- This tells the GNAT compiler to check for token spacing; in
-particular, there must be a space preceding a parenthesis.
-
- In buffer ‘hello.adb’, invoke ‘Ada | Project | Load...’, and select
-‘Example_2/hello.adp’.
-
- Then, again in buffer ‘hello.adb’, invoke ‘Ada | Set main and Build’.
-You should get a ‘*compilation*’ buffer containing something like (the
-directory paths will be different):
-
- cd c:/Examples/Example_2/
- gnatmake -o hello hello -g -cargs -gnatyt -bargs -largs
- gcc -c -g -gnatyt hello.adb
- hello.adb:4:04: "Put_Line" is not visible
- hello.adb:4:04: non-visible declaration at a-textio.ads:264
- hello.adb:4:04: non-visible declaration at a-textio.ads:260
- hello.adb:4:12: (style) space required
- gnatmake: "hello.adb" compilation error
-
- Compare this to the compiler output in *note No project files::; the
-gnatmake option ‘-cargs -gnatq -gnatQ’ has been replaced by ‘-cargs
--gnaty’, and an additional error is reported in ‘hello.adb’ on line 4.
-This shows that ‘hello.adp’ is being used to set the compiler options.
-
- Fixing the error, linking and running the code proceed as in *note No
-project files::.

-
-6.3 Set source search path
-==========================
-
-In this example, we show how to deal with files in more than one
-directory. We start with the same code as in *note No project files::;
-create those files (with the errors present)
-
- Create the directory ‘Example_3’, containing:
-
- ‘hello_pkg.ads’:
-
- package Hello_Pkg is
- procedure Say_Hello;
- end Hello_Pkg;
-
- ‘hello_pkg.adb’:
-
- with Ada.Text_IO;
- package Hello_Pkg is
- procedure Say_Hello
- is begin
- Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line ("Hello from hello_pkg.adb");
- end Say_Hello;
- end Hello_Pkg;
-
- These are the same files from example 1; ‘hello_pkg.adb’ has an error
-on line 2.
-
- In addition, create a directory ‘Example_3/Other’, containing these
-files:
-
- ‘Other/hello_3.adb’:
-
- with Hello_Pkg;
- with Ada.Text_IO; use Ada.Text_IO;
- procedure Hello_3
- is begin
- Hello_Pkg.Say_Hello;
- Put_Line ("From hello_3");
- end Hello_3;
-
- There are no errors in this file.
-
- ‘Other/other.adp’:
-
- src_dir=..
- comp_opt=-I..
-
- Note that there must be no trailing spaces.
-
- In buffer ‘hello_3.adb’, invoke ‘Ada | Project | Load...’, and select
-‘Example_3/Other/other.adp’.
-
- Then, again in ‘hello_3.adb’, invoke ‘Ada | Set main and Build’. You
-should get a ‘*compilation*’ buffer containing something like (the
-directory paths will be different):
-
- cd c:/Examples/Example_3/Other/
- gnatmake -o hello_3 hello_3 -g -cargs -I.. -bargs -largs
- gcc -c -g -I.. hello_3.adb
- gcc -c -I./ -g -I.. -I- C:\Examples\Example_3\hello_pkg.adb
- hello_pkg.adb:2:08: keyword "body" expected here [see file name]
- gnatmake: "C:\Examples\Example_3\hello_pkg.adb" compilation error
-
- Compare the ‘-cargs’ option to the compiler output in *note Set
-compiler options::; this shows that ‘other.adp’ is being used to set the
-compiler options.
-
- Move to the error with ‘C-x `’. Ada mode searches the list of
-directories given by ‘src_dir’ for the file mentioned in the compiler
-error message.
-
- Fixing the error, linking and running the code proceed as in *note No
-project files::.

-6.4 Use GNAT project file
-=========================
-
-In this example, we show how to use a GNAT project file, with no Ada
-mode project file.
-
- Create the directory ‘Example_4’, containing:
-
- ‘hello_pkg.ads’:
-
- package Hello_Pkg is
- procedure Say_Hello;
- end Hello_Pkg;
-
- ‘hello_pkg.adb’:
-
- with Ada.Text_IO;
- package Hello_Pkg is
- procedure Say_Hello
- is begin
- Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line ("Hello from hello_pkg.adb");
- end Say_Hello;
- end Hello_Pkg;
-
- These are the same files from example 1; ‘hello_pkg.adb’ has an error
-on line 2.
-
- In addition, create a directory ‘Example_4/Gnat_Project’, containing
-these files:
-
- ‘Gnat_Project/hello_4.adb’:
-
- with Hello_Pkg;
- with Ada.Text_IO; use Ada.Text_IO;
- procedure Hello_4
- is begin
- Hello_Pkg.Say_Hello;
- Put_Line ("From hello_4");
- end Hello_4;
-
- There are no errors in this file.
-
- ‘Gnat_Project/hello_4.gpr’:
-
- Project Hello_4 is
- for Source_Dirs use (".", "..");
- end Hello_4;
-
- In buffer ‘hello_4.adb’, invoke ‘Ada | Project | Load...’, and select
-‘Example_4/Gnat_Project/hello_4.gpr’.
-
- Then, again in ‘hello_4.adb’, invoke ‘Ada | Set main and Build’. You
-should get a ‘*compilation*’ buffer containing something like (the
-directory paths will be different):
-
- cd c:/Examples/Example_4/Gnat_Project/
- gnatmake -o hello_4 hello_4 -Phello_4.gpr -cargs -gnatq -gnatQ -bargs -largs
- gcc -c -g -gnatyt -gnatq -gnatQ -I- -gnatA c:\Examples\Example_4\Gnat_Project\hello_4.adb
- gcc -c -g -gnatyt -gnatq -gnatQ -I- -gnatA c:\Examples\Example_4\hello_pkg.adb
- hello_pkg.adb:2:08: keyword "body" expected here [see file name]
- gnatmake: "c:\examples\example_4\hello_pkg.adb" compilation error
-
- Compare the ‘gcc’ options to the compiler output in *note Set
-compiler options::; this shows that ‘hello_4.gpr’ is being used to set
-the compiler options.
-
- Fixing the error, linking and running the code proceed as in *note No

-
-6.5 Use multiple GNAT project files
-===================================
-
-In this example, we show how to use multiple GNAT project files,
-specifying the GNAT project search path in an Ada mode project file.
-
- Create the directory ‘Example_4’ as specified in *note Use GNAT
-project file::.
-
- Create the directory ‘Example_5’, containing:
-
- ‘hello_5.adb’:
-
- with Hello_Pkg;
- with Ada.Text_IO; use Ada.Text_IO;
- procedure Hello_5
- is begin
- Hello_Pkg.Say_Hello;
- Put_Line ("From hello_5");
- end Hello_5;
-
- There are no errors in this file.
-
- ‘hello_5.adp’:
-
- ada_project_path=../Example_4/Gnat_Project
- gpr_file=hello_5.gpr
-
- ‘hello_5.gpr’:
-
- with "hello_4";
- Project Hello_5 is
- for Source_Dirs use (".");
- package Compiler is
- for Default_Switches ("Ada") use ("-g", "-gnatyt");
- end Compiler;
- end Hello_5;
-
- In buffer ‘hello_5.adb’, invoke ‘Ada | Project | Load...’, and select
-‘Example_5/hello_5.adp’.
-
- Then, again in ‘hello_5.adb’, invoke ‘Ada | Set main and Build’. You
-should get a ‘*compilation*’ buffer containing something like (the
-directory paths will be different):
-
- cd c:/Examples/Example_5/
- gnatmake -o hello_5 hello_5 -Phello_5.gpr -g -cargs -gnatq -gnatQ -bargs -largs
- gcc -c -g -gnatyt -g -gnatq -gnatQ -I- -gnatA c:\Examples\Example_5\hello_5.adb
- gcc -c -g -gnatyt -g -gnatq -gnatQ -I- -gnatA c:\Examples\Example_4\hello_pkg.adb
- hello_pkg.adb:2:08: keyword "body" expected here [see file name]
- gnatmake: "c:\examples\example_4\hello_pkg.adb" compilation error
-
- Now type ‘C-x `’. ‘Example_4/hello_pkg.adb’ is shown, demonstrating
-that ‘hello_5.gpr’ and ‘hello_4.gpr’ are being used to set the
-compilation search path.

-7 Moving Through Ada Code
-*************************
-
-There are several easy to use commands to navigate through Ada code.
-All these functions are available through the Ada menu, and you can also
-use the following key bindings or the command names. Some of these menu
-entries are available only if the GNAT compiler is used, since the
-implementation relies on the GNAT cross-referencing information.
-
-‘M-C-e’
- Move to the next function/procedure/task, which ever comes next
- (‘ada-next-procedure’).
-‘M-C-a’
- Move to previous function/procedure/task
- (‘ada-previous-procedure’).
-‘M-x ada-next-package’
- Move to next package.
-‘M-x ada-previous-package’
- Move to previous package.
-‘C-c C-a’
- Move to matching start of ‘end’ (‘ada-move-to-start’). If point is
- at the end of a subprogram, this command jumps to the corresponding
- ‘begin’ if the user option ‘ada-move-to-declaration’ is ‘nil’
- (default), otherwise it jumps to the subprogram declaration.
-‘C-c C-e’
- Move point to end of current block (‘ada-move-to-end’).
-‘C-c o’
- Switch between corresponding spec and body file
- (‘ff-find-other-file’). If point is in a subprogram, position
- point on the corresponding declaration or body in the other file.
-‘C-c c-d’
- Move from any reference to its declaration, for from a declaration
- to its body (for procedures, tasks, private and incomplete types).
-‘C-c C-r’
- Runs the ‘gnatfind’ command to search for all references to the
- identifier surrounding point (‘ada-find-references’). Use ‘C-x `’
- (‘next-error’) to visit each reference (as for compilation errors).
-
- If the ‘ada-xref-create-ali’ variable is non-‘nil’, Emacs will try to
-run GNAT for you whenever cross-reference information is needed, and is
-older than the current source file.
-
-
-File: ada-mode.info, Node: Identifier completion, Next: Automatic Smart Indentation, Prev: Moving Through Ada Code, Up: Top
-
-8 Identifier completion
-***********************
-
-Emacs and Ada mode provide two general ways for the completion of
-identifiers. This is an easy way to type faster: you just have to type
-the first few letters of an identifiers, and then loop through all the
-possible completions.
-
- The first method is general for Emacs. It works by parsing all open
-files for possible completions.
-
- For instance, if the words ‘my_identifier’, ‘my_subprogram’ are the
-only words starting with ‘my’ in any of the opened files, then you will
-have this scenario:
-
- You type: myM-/
- Emacs inserts: ‘my_identifier’
- If you press M-/ once again, Emacs replaces ‘my_identifier’ with
- ‘my_subprogram’.
- Pressing M-/ once more will bring you back to ‘my_identifier’.
-
- This is a very fast way to do completion, and the casing of words
-will also be respected.
-
- The second method (‘C-<TAB>’) is specific to Ada mode and the GNAT
-compiler. Emacs will search the cross-information for possible
-completions.
-
- The main advantage is that this completion is more accurate: only
-existing identifier will be suggested.
-
- On the other hand, this completion is a little bit slower and
-requires that you have compiled your file at least once since you
-created that identifier.
-
-‘C-<TAB>’
- Complete current identifier using cross-reference information.
-‘M-/’
- Complete identifier using buffer information (not Ada-specific).

-9 Automatic Smart Indentation
-*****************************
-
-Ada mode comes with a full set of rules for automatic indentation. You
-can also configure the indentation, via the following variables:
-
-‘ada-broken-indent’ (default value: 2)
- Number of columns to indent the continuation of a broken line.
-
-‘ada-indent’ (default value: 3)
- Number of columns for default indentation.
-
-‘ada-indent-record-rel-type’ (default value: 3)
- Indentation for ‘record’ relative to ‘type’ or ‘use’.
-
-‘ada-indent-return’ (default value: 0)
- Indentation for ‘return’ relative to ‘function’ (if
- ‘ada-indent-return’ is greater than 0), or the open parenthesis (if
- ‘ada-indent-return’ is negative or 0). Note that in the second
- case, when there is no open parenthesis, the indentation is done
- relative to ‘function’ with the value of ‘ada-broken-indent’.
-
-‘ada-label-indent’ (default value: -4)
- Number of columns to indent a label.
-
-‘ada-stmt-end-indent’ (default value: 0)
- Number of columns to indent a statement ‘end’ keyword on a separate
- line.
-
-‘ada-when-indent’ (default value: 3)
- Indentation for ‘when’ relative to ‘exception’ or ‘case’.
-
-‘ada-indent-is-separate’ (default value: t)
- Non-‘nil’ means indent ‘is separate’ or ‘is abstract’ if on a
- single line.
-
-‘ada-indent-to-open-paren’ (default value: t)
- Non-‘nil’ means indent according to the innermost open parenthesis.
-
-‘ada-indent-after-return’ (default value: t)
- Non-‘nil’ means that the current line will also be re-indented
- before inserting a newline, when you press <RET>.
-
- Most of the time, the indentation will be automatic, i.e., when you
-press <RET>, the cursor will move to the correct column on the next
-line.
-
- You can also indent single lines, or the current region, with <TAB>.
-
- Another mode of indentation exists that helps you to set up your
-indentation scheme. If you press ‘C-c <TAB>’, Ada mode will do the
-following:
-
- • Reindent the current line, as <TAB> would do.
- • Temporarily move the cursor to a reference line, i.e., the line
- that was used to calculate the current indentation.
- • Display in the message window the name of the variable that
- provided the offset for the indentation.
-
- The exact indentation of the current line is the same as the one for
-the reference line, plus an offset given by the variable.
-
-‘<TAB>’
- Indent the current line or the current region.
-‘C-M-\’
- Indent lines in the current region.
-‘C-c <TAB>’
- Indent the current line and display the name of the variable used
- for indentation.
-

-File: ada-mode.info, Node: Formatting Parameter Lists, Next: Automatic Casing, Prev: Automatic Smart Indentation, Up: Top
-
-10 Formatting Parameter Lists
-*****************************
-
-‘C-c C-f’
- Format the parameter list (‘ada-format-paramlist’).
-
- This aligns the declarations on the colon (‘:’) separating argument
-names and argument types, and aligns the ‘in’, ‘out’ and ‘in out’
-keywords.
-
-
-File: ada-mode.info, Node: Automatic Casing, Next: Statement Templates, Prev: Formatting Parameter Lists, Up: Top
-
-11 Automatic Casing
-*******************
-
-Casing of identifiers, attributes and keywords is automatically
-performed while typing when the variable ‘ada-auto-case’ is set. Every
-time you press a word separator, the previous word is automatically
-cased.
-
- You can customize the automatic casing differently for keywords,
-attributes and identifiers. The relevant variables are the following:
-‘ada-case-keyword’, ‘ada-case-attribute’ and ‘ada-case-identifier’.
-
- All these variables can have one of the following values:
-
-‘downcase-word’
- The word will be lowercase. For instance ‘My_vARIable’ is
- converted to ‘my_variable’.
-
-‘upcase-word’
- The word will be uppercase. For instance ‘My_vARIable’ is
- converted to ‘MY_VARIABLE’.
-
-‘ada-capitalize-word’
- The first letter and each letter following an underscore (‘_’) are
- uppercase, others are lowercase. For instance ‘My_vARIable’ is
- converted to ‘My_Variable’.
-
-‘ada-loose-case-word’
- Characters after an underscore ‘_’ character are uppercase, others
- are not modified. For instance ‘My_vARIable’ is converted to
- ‘My_VARIable’.
-
- Ada mode allows you to define exceptions to these rules, in a file
-specified by the variable ‘ada-case-exception-file’ (default
-‘~/.emacs_case_exceptions’). Each line in this file specifies the
-casing of one word or word fragment. Comments may be included,
-separated from the word by a space.
-
- If the word starts with an asterisk (‘*’), it defines the casing as a
-word fragment (or “substring”); part of a word between two underscores
-or word boundary.
-
- For example:
-
- DOD Department of Defense
- *IO
- GNAT The GNAT compiler from Ada Core Technologies
-
- The word fragment ‘*IO’ applies to any word containing “_io”;
-‘Text_IO’, ‘Hardware_IO’, etc.
-
- There are two ways to add new items to this file: you can simply edit
-it as you would edit any text file. Or you can position point on the
-word you want to add, and select menu ‘Ada | Edit | Create Case
-Exception’, or press ‘C-c C-y’ (‘ada-create-case-exception’). The word
-will automatically be added to the current list of exceptions and to the
-file.
-
- To define a word fragment case exception, select the word fragment,
-then select menu ‘Ada | Edit | Create Case Exception Substring’.
-
- It is sometimes useful to have multiple exception files around (for
-instance, one could be the standard Ada acronyms, the second some
-company specific exceptions, and the last one some project specific
-exceptions). If you set up the variable ‘ada-case-exception-file’ as a
-list of files, each of them will be parsed and used in your emacs
-session. However, when you save a new exception through the menu, as
-described above, the new exception will be added to the first file in
-the list.
-
-‘C-c C-b’
- Adjust case in the whole buffer (‘ada-adjust-case-buffer’).
-‘C-c C-y’
- Create a new entry in the exception dictionary, with the word under
- the cursor (‘ada-create-case-exception’)
-‘C-c C-t’
- Rereads the exception dictionary from the file
- ‘ada-case-exception-file’ (‘ada-case-read-exceptions’).

- This License is a kind of “copyleft”, which means that derivative
- works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense.
- It complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft
- license designed for free software.
-
- We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for
- free software, because free software needs free documentation: a
- free program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms
- that the software does. But this License is not limited to
- software manuals; it can be used for any textual work, regardless
- of subject matter or whether it is published as a printed book. We
- recommend this License principally for works whose purpose is
- instruction or reference.
-
- 1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
-
- This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium,
- that contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can
- be distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice
- grants a world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration,
- to use that work under the conditions stated herein. The
- “Document”, below, refers to any such manual or work. Any member
- of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as “you”. You accept
- the license if you copy, modify or distribute the work in a way
- requiring permission under copyright law.
-
- A “Modified Version” of the Document means any work containing the
- Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
- modifications and/or translated into another language.
-
- A “Secondary Section” is a named appendix or a front-matter section
- of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
- publishers or authors of the Document to the Document’s overall
- subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could
- fall directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document
- is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not
- explain any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of
- historical connection with the subject or with related matters, or
- of legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position
- regarding them.
-
- The “Invariant Sections” are certain Secondary Sections whose
- titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the
- notice that says that the Document is released under this License.
- If a section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it
- is not allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may
- contain zero Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify
- any Invariant Sections then there are none.
-
- The “Cover Texts” are certain short passages of text that are
- listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice
- that says that the Document is released under this License. A
- Front-Cover Text may be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may
- be at most 25 words.
-
- A “Transparent” copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
- represented in a format whose specification is available to the
- general public, that is suitable for revising the document
- straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed
- of pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely
- available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text
- formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of formats
- suitable for input to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise
- Transparent file format whose markup, or absence of markup, has
- been arranged to thwart or discourage subsequent modification by
- readers is not Transparent. An image format is not Transparent if
- used for any substantial amount of text. A copy that is not
- “Transparent” is called “Opaque”.
-
- Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
- ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format,
- SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming
- simple HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for human modification.
- Examples of transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG.
- Opaque formats include proprietary formats that can be read and
- edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which
- the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally available, and
- the machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by some word
- processors for output purposes only.
-
- The “Title Page” means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
- plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the
- material this License requires to appear in the title page. For
- works in formats which do not have any title page as such, “Title
- Page” means the text near the most prominent appearance of the
- work’s title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
-
- The “publisher” means any person or entity that distributes copies
- of the Document to the public.
-
- A section “Entitled XYZ” means a named subunit of the Document
- whose title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses
- following text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ
- stands for a specific section name mentioned below, such as
- “Acknowledgements”, “Dedications”, “Endorsements”, or “History”.)
- To “Preserve the Title” of such a section when you modify the
- Document means that it remains a section “Entitled XYZ” according
- to this definition.
-
- The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice
- which states that this License applies to the Document. These
- Warranty Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in
- this License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other
- implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and
- has no effect on the meaning of this License.
-
- 2. VERBATIM COPYING
-
- You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
- commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
- copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License
- applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you
- add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You
- may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading
- or further copying of the copies you make or distribute. However,
- you may accept compensation in exchange for copies. If you
- distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow the
- conditions in section 3.
-
- You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above,
- and you may publicly display copies.
-
- 3. COPYING IN QUANTITY
-
- If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly
- have printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and
- the Document’s license notice requires Cover Texts, you must
- enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all
- these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and
- Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also clearly
- and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies. The
- front cover must present the full title with all words of the title
- equally prominent and visible. You may add other material on the
- covers in addition. Copying with changes limited to the covers, as
- long as they preserve the title of the Document and satisfy these
- conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in other respects.
-
- If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
- legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
- reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto
- adjacent pages.
-
- If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document
- numbering more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable
- Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with
- each Opaque copy a computer-network location from which the general
- network-using public has access to download using public-standard
- network protocols a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free
- of added material. If you use the latter option, you must take
- reasonably prudent steps, when you begin distribution of Opaque
- copies in quantity, to ensure that this Transparent copy will
- remain thus accessible at the stated location until at least one
- year after the last time you distribute an Opaque copy (directly or
- through your agents or retailers) of that edition to the public.
-
- It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of
- the Document well before redistributing any large number of copies,
- to give them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the
- Document.
-
- 4. MODIFICATIONS
-
- You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document
- under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you
- release the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the
- Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing
- distribution and modification of the Modified Version to whoever
- possesses a copy of it. In addition, you must do these things in
- the Modified Version:
-
- A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title
- distinct from that of the Document, and from those of previous
- versions (which should, if there were any, be listed in the
- History section of the Document). You may use the same title
- as a previous version if the original publisher of that
- version gives permission.
-
- B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or
- entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in
- the Modified Version, together with at least five of the
- principal authors of the Document (all of its principal
- authors, if it has fewer than five), unless they release you
- from this requirement.
-
- C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
- Modified Version, as the publisher.
-
- D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
-
- E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
- adjacent to the other copyright notices.
-
- F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license
- notice giving the public permission to use the Modified
- Version under the terms of this License, in the form shown in
- the Addendum below.
-
- G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant
- Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document’s
- license notice.
-
- H. Include an unaltered copy of this License.
-
- I. Preserve the section Entitled “History”, Preserve its Title,
- and add to it an item stating at least the title, year, new
- authors, and publisher of the Modified Version as given on the
- Title Page. If there is no section Entitled “History” in the
- Document, create one stating the title, year, authors, and
- publisher of the Document as given on its Title Page, then add
- an item describing the Modified Version as stated in the
- previous sentence.
-
- J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document
- for public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and
- likewise the network locations given in the Document for
- previous versions it was based on. These may be placed in the
- “History” section. You may omit a network location for a work
- that was published at least four years before the Document
- itself, or if the original publisher of the version it refers
- to gives permission.
-
- K. For any section Entitled “Acknowledgements” or “Dedications”,
- Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the section
- all the substance and tone of each of the contributor
- acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein.
-
- L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, unaltered
- in their text and in their titles. Section numbers or the
- equivalent are not considered part of the section titles.
-
- M. Delete any section Entitled “Endorsements”. Such a section
- may not be included in the Modified Version.
-
- N. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled
- “Endorsements” or to conflict in title with any Invariant
- Section.
-
- O. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.
-
- If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
- appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no
- material copied from the Document, you may at your option designate
- some or all of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their
- titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version’s
- license notice. These titles must be distinct from any other
- section titles.
-
- You may add a section Entitled “Endorsements”, provided it contains
- nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
- parties—for example, statements of peer review or that the text has
- been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of
- a standard.
-
- You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text,
- and a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of
- the list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage
- of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or
- through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document
- already includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added
- by you or by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on
- behalf of, you may not add another; but you may replace the old
- one, on explicit permission from the previous publisher that added
- the old one.
-
- The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this
- License give permission to use their names for publicity for or to
- assert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version.
-
- 5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS
-
- You may combine the Document with other documents released under
- this License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for
- modified versions, provided that you include in the combination all
- of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents,
- unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your
- combined work in its license notice, and that you preserve all
- their Warranty Disclaimers.
-
- The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
- multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
- copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name
- but different contents, make the title of each such section unique
- by adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the
- original author or publisher of that section if known, or else a
- unique number. Make the same adjustment to the section titles in
- the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the
- combined work.
-
- In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled
- “History” in the various original documents, forming one section
- Entitled “History”; likewise combine any sections Entitled
- “Acknowledgements”, and any sections Entitled “Dedications”. You
- must delete all sections Entitled “Endorsements.”
-
- 6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
-
- You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other
- documents released under this License, and replace the individual
- copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy
- that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the
- rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of the documents
- in all other respects.
-
- You may extract a single document from such a collection, and
- distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert
- a copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow this
- License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of that
- document.
-
- 7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
-
- A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other
- separate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a
- storage or distribution medium, is called an “aggregate” if the
- copyright resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the
- legal rights of the compilation’s users beyond what the individual
- works permit. When the Document is included in an aggregate, this
- License does not apply to the other works in the aggregate which
- are not themselves derivative works of the Document.
-
- If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
- copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half
- of the entire aggregate, the Document’s Cover Texts may be placed
- on covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the
- electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic
- form. Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket
- the whole aggregate.
-
- 8. TRANSLATION
-
- Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
- distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section
- 4. Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
- permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
- translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
- original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a
- translation of this License, and all the license notices in the
- Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also
- include the original English version of this License and the
- original versions of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a
- disagreement between the translation and the original version of
- this License or a notice or disclaimer, the original version will
- prevail.
-
- If a section in the Document is Entitled “Acknowledgements”,
- “Dedications”, or “History”, the requirement (section 4) to
- Preserve its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the
- actual title.
-
- 9. TERMINATION
-
- You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document
- except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
- otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute it is void,
- and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
-
- However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
- license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
- provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
- finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the
- copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some
- reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.
-
- Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
- reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
- violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
- received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from
- that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days
- after your receipt of the notice.
-
- Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate
- the licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you
- under this License. If your rights have been terminated and not
- permanently reinstated, receipt of a copy of some or all of the
- same material does not give you any rights to use it.
-
- 10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE
-
- The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of
- the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new
- versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
- differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See
- <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
-
- Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version
- number. If the Document specifies that a particular numbered
- version of this License “or any later version” applies to it, you
- have the option of following the terms and conditions either of
- that specified version or of any later version that has been
- published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the
- Document does not specify a version number of this License, you may
- choose any version ever published (not as a draft) by the Free
- Software Foundation. If the Document specifies that a proxy can
- decide which future versions of this License can be used, that
- proxy’s public statement of acceptance of a version permanently
- authorizes you to choose that version for the Document.
-
- 11. RELICENSING
-
- “Massive Multiauthor Collaboration Site” (or “MMC Site”) means any
- World Wide Web server that publishes copyrightable works and also
- provides prominent facilities for anybody to edit those works. A
- public wiki that anybody can edit is an example of such a server.
- A “Massive Multiauthor Collaboration” (or “MMC”) contained in the
- site means any set of copyrightable works thus published on the MMC
- site.
-
- “CC-BY-SA” means the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0
- license published by Creative Commons Corporation, a not-for-profit
- corporation with a principal place of business in San Francisco,
- California, as well as future copyleft versions of that license
- published by that same organization.
-
- “Incorporate” means to publish or republish a Document, in whole or
- in part, as part of another Document.
-
- An MMC is “eligible for relicensing” if it is licensed under this
- License, and if all works that were first published under this
- License somewhere other than this MMC, and subsequently
- incorporated in whole or in part into the MMC, (1) had no cover
- texts or invariant sections, and (2) were thus incorporated prior
- to November 1, 2008.
-
- The operator of an MMC Site may republish an MMC contained in the
- site under CC-BY-SA on the same site at any time before August 1,
- 2009, provided the MMC is eligible for relicensing.
-
-ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents
-====================================================
-
-To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of
-the License in the document and put the following copyright and license
-notices just after the title page:
-
- Copyright (C) YEAR YOUR NAME.
- Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document
- under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.3
- or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation;
- with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover
- Texts. A copy of the license is included in the section entitled ``GNU
- Free Documentation License''.
-
- If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover
-Texts, replace the “with...Texts.” line with this:
-
- with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with
- the Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts
- being LIST.
-
- If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other
-combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the
-situation.
-
- If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we
-recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of free
-software license, such as the GNU General Public License, to permit
-their use in free software.
