package Evaluation is

   --  Evaluation is about compile-time computation of expressions, such as
   --  2 + 1 --> 3.  This is (of course) possible only with locally (and some
   --  globally) static expressions.  Evaluation is required during semantic
   --  analysis at many places (in fact those where locally static expression
   --  are required by the language).  For example, the type of O'Range (N)
   --  depends on N, so we need to evaluate N.
   --
   --  The result of evaluation is a literal (integer, enumeration, real,
   --  physical), a string or a simple aggregate.  For scalar types, the
   --  result is therefore normalized (there is only one kind of result), but
   --  for array types, the result isn't: in general it will be a string, but
   --  it may be a simple aggregate.  Strings are preferred (because they are
   --  more compact), but aren't possible in some cases.  For example, the
   --  evaluation of "Text" & NUL cannot be a string.
   --
   --  Some functions (like Eval_Static_Expr) simply returns a result (which
   --  may be a node of the expression), others returns a result and set the
   --  origin (Literal_Origin or Range_Origin) to remember the original
   --  expression that was evaluation.  The original expression is kept so that
   --  it is possible to print the original tree.

   --  Get the value of a physical integer literal or unit.  May propagate
   --  Constraint_Error.
   function Get_Physical_Value (Expr : Iir) return Iir_Int64;

   --  Evaluate the locally static expression EXPR (without checking that EXPR
   --  is locally static).  Return a literal or an aggregate, without setting
   --  the origin, and do not modify EXPR.  This can be used only to get the
   --  value of an expression, without replacing it.
