ada: False alarms from -gnatw.t with generic functions

ada: Compiler crash on early alignment clause This patch fixes a bug: if "for T'Alignment use..." is followed by "for T use (<enum rep>);" the compiler crashes. A workaround is to move the alignment clause after the enumeration rep clause. gcc/ada/ * sem_ch13.ads (Set_Enum_Esize): Do not set alignment. * sem_ch13.adb (Set_Enum_Esize): Do not set alignment. Archaeology seems to show that this line of code dates from when "Alignment = 0" meant "the Alignment is not known at compile time" and "the Alignment is not yet known at compile time" as well as "the Alignment is zero". In any case, it seems to be unnecessary, and in this case harmful, because gigi would crash. Alignment_Clause is set (because there is one), so gigi would query the Alignment, but Alignment was destroyed.
ada: Error in prefix-notation call The compiler gives a wrong error for a call of the form X.Y(...) when Y is inherited indirectly via an interface. gcc/ada/ * sem_ch4.adb (Is_Private_Overriding): Return True in the case where a primitive operation is publicly inherited but privately overridden.
ada: Clean up scope depth and related code (tech debt) The main point of this patch is to remove the special case for Atree.F_Scope_Depth_Value in the Assert that Field_Present in Get_Field_Value. Pulling on that thread leads to lots of related cleanup. gcc/ada/ChangeLog: * atree.adb (Node_Kind_Table): Specify parameter explicitly in GNAT.Table instantiations. Use fully qualified references instead of relying on use clauses. (Get_Field_Value): Remove special case for F_Scope_Depth_Value. That is, enable the Field_Present check in that case. (It was already enabled for all other fields.) Violations of this check were already fixed. (Print_Node_Statistics): Sort the output in decreasing order of frequencies. (Print_Field_Statistics): Likewise (sort). * accessibility.adb (Accessibility_Level): Pass Allow_Alt_Model in recursive calls. Apparently, an oversight. (Innermost_Master_Scope_Depth): Need to special-case the 'Old attribute and allocators. * einfo-utils.ads (Scope_Depth): Use Scope_Kind_Id to get predicate checks. (Scope_Depth_Set): Likewise. (Scope_Depth_Default_0): Likewise. * einfo-utils.adb: As for spec. * frontend.adb (Frontend): Remove unnecessary "return;". * gen_il-types.ads (Scope_Kind): New union type. * gen_il-gen-gen_entities.adb (Scope_Kind): New union type. * sem.ads: Move "with Einfo.Entities;" from body to spec. (Scope_Stack_Entry): Declare Entity to be of Scope_Kind_Id to get predicate checks. We had previously been putting non-scopes on the scope stack; this prevents such anomalies. * sem.adb: Move "with Einfo.Entities;" from body to spec. * sem_ch8.ads: Move "with Einfo.Entities;" from body to spec. Add "with Types;". (Push_Scope): Use Scope_Kind_Id to get predicate checks. * sem_ch8.adb: Move "with Einfo.Entities;" from body to spec. Add "with Types;". (Push_Scope): Use Scope_Kind_Id to get predicate checks. (Pop_Scope): Use Scope_Kind_Id on popped entity to get predicate checks. This prevents anomalies where a scope pushed onto the stack is later mutated to a nonscope before being popped. * sem_util.ads (Find_Enclosing_Scope): Add postcondition to ensure that the enclosing scope of a node N is not the same node N. Clearly, N does not enclose itself. * sem_util.adb (Find_Enclosing_Scope): There were several bugs where Find_Enclosing_Scope(N) = N. For example, if N is an entity, then we would typically go up to its declaration, and then back down to the Defining_Entity of the declaration, which is N itself. There were other cases where Find_Enclosing_Scope of an entity disagreed with Scope. Clearly, Find_Enclosing_Scope and Scope should agree (when both are defined). Such bugs caused latent bugs in accessibility.adb related to 'Old, and fixing bugs here caused such bugs to be revealed. These are fixed by calling Scope when N is an entity.

ada: Fix crash on selected component lookup in generic instance This patch fixes a compiler crash on selected component lookup in an instance of a generic unit when the relevant type is an itype. gcc/ada/ * sem_ch4.adb (Find_Component_In_Instance): Check that Declaration_Node (Par) is not Empty, as it is for itypes.
ada: check Atree.Get/Set_Field_Value Get_Field_Value and Set_Field_Value now check that the Nkind or Ekind is correct. However, the checks are partially disabled, because they sometimes fail. gcc/ada/ * atree.adb (Field_Present): New function to detect whether or not a given field is present in a given node, based on either the node kind or the entity kind as appropriate. (Get_Field_Value): Check that the field begin fetched exists. However, disable the check in the case of Scope_Depth_Value, because we have failures in that case. Those failures need to be fixed, and then the check can be enabled for all fields. (Set_Field_Value): Check that the field begin set exists.
ada: Avoid renaming_decl in case of constrained array This patch avoids rewriting "X: S := F(...);" as "X: S renames F(...);". That rewrite is incorrect if S is a constrained array subtype, because it changes the semantics. In the original, the bounds of X are that of S. But constraints are ignored in renamings, so the bounds of X would come from F'Result. This can cause spurious Constraint_Errors in some obscure cases. It causes unnecessary checks to be inserted, and even when such checks pass (more common case), they might be less efficient. gcc/ada/ * exp_ch3.adb (Expand_N_Object_Declaration): Avoid transforming to a renaming in case of constrained array that comes from source.
