package Sem_Scopes is

   --  The purpose of SEM_NAME package is to handle association between
   --  identifiers and declarations.
   --  Roughly speacking, it implements ch10 of LRM: scope and visibility.
   --
   --  Basic elements are: declarations and declarative region.
   --  Declaration should be understood in the large meaning: any textual
   --   construction declaring an identifier, which can be a label.
   --  A declarative region contains declarations and possibly other
   --   declarative regions.
   --
   --  Rules are scope, visibility and overloading.
   --

   -- Create and close a declarative region.
   -- By closing a declarative region, all declarations made in this region
   --  are discarded.
   procedure Open_Declarative_Region;
   procedure Close_Declarative_Region;

   -- Add interpretation DECL for ID to the current declarative region.
   -- ID is an identifier or a character literal.
   -- Note: ID may be different from get_identifier (DECL), since for example
   --  DECL may be a type definition.

   procedure Name_Visible (Decl : Iir);

   --  Replace the interpretation OLD of ID by DECL.
   --  ID must have a uniq interpretation OLD (ie, it must not be overloaded).
   --  The interpretation must have been done in the current scope.
   --
   --  This procedure is used when the meaning of a name is changed due to its
   --  analysis, eg: when a concurrent_procedure_call_statement becomes
   --  a component_instantiation_statement.
