   -- Subprograms --
   -----------------

   function Ancestor_Subtype (Typ : Entity_Id) return Entity_Id;
   --  The argument Id is a type or subtype entity. If the argument is a
   --  subtype then it returns the subtype or type from which the subtype was
   --  obtained, otherwise it returns Empty.

   function Available_View (Typ : Entity_Id) return Entity_Id;
   --  Typ is typically a type that has the With_Type flag set. Returns the
   --  non-limited view of the type, if available, otherwise the type itself.
   --  For class-wide types, there is no direct link in the tree, so we have
   --  to retrieve the class-wide type of the non-limited view of the Etype.
   --  Returns the argument unchanged if it is not one of these cases.

   function Constant_Value (Ent : Entity_Id) return Node_Id;
   --  Id is a variable, constant, named integer, or named real entity. This
   --  call obtains the initialization expression for the entity. Will return
   --  Empty for for a deferred constant whose full view is not available or
   --  in some other cases of internal entities, which cannot be treated as
   --  constants from the point of view of constant folding. Empty is also
   --  returned for variables with no initialization expression.

   function Enclosing_Dynamic_Scope (Ent : Entity_Id) return Entity_Id;
   --  For any entity, Ent, returns the closest dynamic scope in which the
   --  entity is declared or Standard_Standard for library-level entities

   function First_Discriminant (Typ : Entity_Id) return Entity_Id;
   --  Typ is a type with discriminants. The discriminants are the first
   --  entities declared in the type, so normally this is equivalent to
   --  First_Entity. The exception arises for tagged types, where the tag
   --  itself is prepended to the front of the entity chain, so the
   --  First_Discriminant function steps past the tag if it is present.

   function First_Stored_Discriminant (Typ : Entity_Id) return Entity_Id;
   --  Typ is a type with discriminants. Gives the first discriminant stored
   --  in an object of this type. In many cases, these are the same as the
   --  normal visible discriminants for the type, but in the case of renamed
   --  discriminants, this is not always the case.
   --
   --  For tagged types, and untagged types which are root types or derived
   --  types but which do not rename discriminants in their root type, the
   --  stored discriminants are the same as the actual discriminants of the
   --  type, and hence this function is the same as First_Discriminant.
   --
   --  For derived non-tagged types that rename discriminants in the root type
   --  this is the first of the discriminants that occur in the root type. To
   --  be precise, in this case stored discriminants are entities attached to
   --  the entity chain of the derived type which are a copy of the
   --  discriminants of the root type. Furthermore their Is_Completely_Hidden
   --  flag is set since although they are actually stored in the object, they
   --  are not in the set of discriminants that is visble in the type.
   --
   --  For derived untagged types, the set of stored discriminants are the real
   --  discriminants from Gigi's standpoint, i.e. those that will be stored in
   --  actual objects of the type.

   function First_Subtype (Typ : Entity_Id) return Entity_Id;
   --  Applies to all types and subtypes. For types, yields the first subtype
   --  of the type. For subtypes, yields the first subtype of the base type of
   --  the subtype.

   function First_Tag_Component (Typ : Entity_Id) return Entity_Id;
   --  Typ must be a tagged record type. This function returns the Entity for
   --  the first _Tag field in the record type.

   function Is_By_Copy_Type (Ent : Entity_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Ent is any entity. Returns True if Ent is a type entity where the type
   --  is required to be passed by copy, as defined in (RM 6.2(3)).

   function Is_By_Reference_Type (Ent : Entity_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Ent is any entity. Returns True if Ent is a type entity where the type
   --  is required to be passed by reference, as defined in (RM 6.2(4-9)).

   function Is_Derived_Type (Ent : Entity_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Determines if the given entity Ent is a derived type. Result is always
   --  false if argument is not a type.

   function Is_Indefinite_Subtype (Ent : Entity_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Ent is any entity. Determines if given entity is an unconstrained array
   --  type or subtype, a discriminated record type or subtype with no initial
   --  discriminant values or a class wide type or subtype and returns True if
   --  so. False for other type entities, or any entities that are not types.

   function Is_Inherently_Limited_Type (Ent : Entity_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Ent is any entity. True for a type that is "inherently" limited (i.e.
   --  cannot become nonlimited). From the Ada 2005 RM-7.5(8.1/2), "a type with
   --  a part that is of a task, protected, or explicitly limited record type".
   --  These are the types that are defined as return-by-reference types in Ada
   --  95 (see RM95-6.5(11-16)). In Ada 2005, these are the types that require
   --  build-in-place for function calls. Note that build-in-place is allowed
   --  for other types, too.

   function Is_Limited_Type (Ent : Entity_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Ent is any entity. Returns true if Ent is a limited type (limited
   --  private type, limited interface type, task type, protected type,
   --  composite containing a limited component, or a subtype of any of
   --  these types).

   function Nearest_Dynamic_Scope (Ent : Entity_Id) return Entity_Id;
   --  This is similar to Enclosing_Dynamic_Scope except that if Ent is itself
   --  a dynamic scope, then it is returned. Otherwise the result is the same
   --  as that returned by Enclosing_Dynamic_Scope.

   function Next_Tag_Component (Tag : Entity_Id) return Entity_Id;
   --  Tag must be an entity representing a _Tag field of a tagged record.
   --  The result returned is the next _Tag field in this record, or Empty
   --  if this is the last such field.

   function Number_Discriminants (Typ : Entity_Id) return Pos;
   --  Typ is a type with discriminants, yields number of discriminants in type
