  33    -- Handling of Renamed Units --
  34    -------------------------------
  35 
  36    --  A compilation unit can be a renaming of another compilation unit.
  37    --  Such renamed units are not allowed as parent units, that is you
  38    --  cannot declare a unit:
  39 
  40    --     with x;
  41    --     package x.y is end;
  42 
  43    --  where x is a renaming of some other package. However you can refer
  44    --  to a renamed unit in a with clause:
  45 
  46    --     package p is end;
  47 
  48    --     package p.q is end;
  49 
  50    --     with p;
  51    --     package pr renames p;
  52 
  53    --     with pr.q ....
  54 
  55    --  This means that in the context of a with clause, the normal fixed
  56    --  correspondence between unit and file names is broken. In the above
  57    --  example, there is no file named pr-q.ads, since the actual child
  58    --  unit is p.q, and it will be found in file p-q.ads.
  59 
  60    --  In order to deal with this case, we have to first load pr.ads, and
  61    --  then discover that it is a renaming of p, so that we know that pr.q
  62    --  really refers to p.q. Furthermore this can happen at any level:
  63 
  64    --     with p.q;
  65    --     package p.r renames p.q;
  66 
  67    --     with p.q;
  68    --     package p.q.s is end;
  69 
  70    --     with p.r.s ...
  71 
  72    --  Now we have a case where the parent p.r is a child unit and is
  73    --  a renaming. This shows that renaming can occur at any level.
  74 
  75    --  Finally, consider:
  76 
  77    --     with pr.q.s ...
  78 
  79    --  Here the parent pr.q is not itself a renaming, but it really refers
  80    --  to the unit p.q, and again we cannot know this without loading the
  81    --  parent. The bottom line here is that while the file name of a unit
  82    --  always corresponds to the unit name, the unit name as given to the
  83    --  Load_Unit function may not be the real unit.

 119    --  messages are to be attached.

 124    --  analysis, then the Fatal_Error flag of the returned entry is set and
 125    --  in addition, the fatal error flag of the calling unit is also set.
 126    --
 127    --  If the corresponding file is not found, then the behavior depends on
 128    --  the setting of Required. If Required is False, then No_Unit is returned

 130    --  message is posted, and No_Unit is returned.
 131    --

 133    --  to Empty. In this case Required is False, and the caller in any case
 134    --  treats any error as fatal.

 136    --  The Subunit parameter is True to load a subunit, and False to load
 137    --  any other kind of unit (including all specs, package bodies, and

 140    --  The Corr_Body argument is normally defaulted. It is set only in the
 141    --  case of loading the corresponding spec when the main unit is a body.
 142    --  In this case, Corr_Body is the unit number of this corresponding
 143    --  body. This is used to set the Serial_Ref_Unit field of the unit
 144    --  table entry. It is also used to deal with the special processing
 145    --  required by RM 10.1.4(4). See description in lib.ads.

 147    --  Renamings activates the handling of renamed units as separately
 148    --  described in the documentation of this unit. If this parameter is
 149    --  set to True, then Load_Name may not be the real unit name and it
