package Iir_Chains is
   --  Chains are simply linked list of iirs.
   --  Elements of the chain are ordered.
   --  Each element of a chain have a Chain field, which points to the next
   --  element.
   --  All elements of a chain have the same parent.  This parent contains
   --  a field which points to the first element of the chain.
   --  Note: the parent is often the value of the Parent field, but sometimes
   --    not.

   --  Chains can be covered very simply:
   --      El : Iir;
   --   begin
   --      El := Get_xxx_Chain (Parent);
   --      while El /= Null_Iir loop
   --         * Handle element EL of the chain.
   --         El := Get_Chain (El);
   --      end loop;

   --  However, building a chain is a little bit more difficult if elements
   --  have to be appended.  Indeed, there is no direct access to the last
   --  element of a chain.
   --  An efficient way to build a chain is to keep the last element of it.
