--  Package (and subprograms) instantiations

--  When a package is instantiated, we need to 'duplicate' its declaration.
--  This looks useless for analysis but it isn't: a type from a package
--  instantiated twice declares two different types.  Without duplication, we
--  need to attach to each declaration its instance, which looks more expansive
--  that duplicating the declaration.
--
--  Furthermore, for generic type interface, it looks a good idea to duplicate
--  the body (macro expansion).
--
--  Duplicating is not trivial: internal links must be kept and external
--  links preserved.  A table is used to map nodes from the uninstantiated
--  package to its duplicated node.  Links from instantiated declaration to
--  the original declaration are also stored in that table.

with Vhdl.Nodes; use Vhdl.Nodes;

package Vhdl.Sem_Inst is
   --  Return the origin of node N, the node from which N was instantiated.
   --  If N is not an instance, this function returns Null_Iir.
   function Get_Origin (N : Iir) return Iir;

   --  Create declaration chain and generic declarations for INST from PKG.
   procedure Instantiate_Package_Declaration (Inst : Iir; Pkg : Iir);

   --  Return the instantiation of the body for INST, ie macro-expand the
   --  body.  INST has the form of a generic-mapped package.
   function Instantiate_Package_Body (Inst : Iir) return Iir;

   --  In CHAIN, substitute all references to E by REP.
   procedure Substitute_On_Chain (Chain : Iir; E : Iir; Rep : Iir);

   --  Deep copy of ORIG.  Doesn't change location.
   function Copy_Tree (Orig : Iir) return Iir;
