   -----------------

   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;
   --  Ent is a variable, constant, named integer, or named real entity. This
   --  call obtains the initialization expression for the entity. Will return
   --  Empty 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 Effectively_Has_Constrained_Partial_View
     (Typ  : Entity_Id;
      Scop : Entity_Id) return Boolean;
   --  Return True if Typ has attribute Has_Constrained_Partial_View set to
   --  True; in addition, within a generic body, return True if a subtype is
   --  a descendant of an untagged generic formal private or derived type, and
   --  the subtype is not an unconstrained array subtype (RM 3.3(23.10/3)).

   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 visible 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.

   --  Typ must be a tagged record type. This function returns the Entity for
   --  the first _Tag field in the 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

   --
   --  In this case the nearest ancestor is R, but the Etype of T'Base will

   --  this information. It is used for making sure we freeze this before we
   --  freeze Typ, and also for retrieving inherited predicate information.
   --  For the case of base types or first subtypes, there is no useful entity
   --  to return, so Empty is returned.

   --  with the case of derived types.

   function Nearest_Dynamic_Scope (Ent : Entity_Id) return Entity_Id;

   --  Return the last entity in the chain of aliased entities of Prim. If Prim
   --  has no alias return Prim.

   function Unit_Declaration_Node (Unit_Id : Entity_Id) return Node_Id;
   --  Unit_Id is the simple name of a program unit, this function returns the
   --  corresponding xxx_Declaration node for the entity. Also applies to the
   --  body entities for subprograms, tasks and protected units, in which case
   --  it returns the subprogram, task or protected body node for it. The unit
   --  may be a child unit with any number of ancestors.
