--  Asis.Compilation_Units.Relations encapsulates semantic relationship

--  12.1  type Relationship
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--  Relationship queries provide references to compilation units that are
--  related, in some specific fashion, to one or more given compilation units.
--  Compilation units located by these queries are returned as a set of
--  ordered lists.

--  The following describes the semantics of the unit lists returned by the
--  queries Semantic_Dependence_Order and Elaboration_Order:
--
--  Each query returns a set of four lists.  Every unit returned will have the
--  same Enclosing_Context.  The lists are:
--
--    a) (Consistent)   A list of consistent ordered units.
--    b) (Inconsistent) A list of units that are inconsistent with one or
--                      more units on which they semantically depend.
--    c) (Missing)      A list of units that have missing (nonexistent) related
--                      units.
--    d) (Circular)     A list of circular semantic dependencies between units.
--
--
--  a) The consistent units list:
--
--     The semantics for the ordering of units in the first list are defined by
--     the individual queries.
--
--     Every unit in this list is unique.  No duplicates are returned; no
--     two units in the list are Is_Equal or Is_Identical.
--
--  b) The inconsistent units list:
--
--     The second list is made up of unit pairs.
--
--     Each pairing defines an inconsistent semantic dependence relationship.
--     The right unit of each pair semantically depends on the preceding left
--     unit. All rightmost units of each pair are always inconsistent, and will
--     not appear in the consistent units list. The leftmost unit can be either
--     consistent or inconsistent. If a leftmost units is consistent, then it
--     also appears in the consistent units list; otherwise the unit is part of
--     an inconsistent transitive relationship.
--
--     The unit pairs are ordered such that there are no forward semantic
--     dependencies between the inconsistent units.  Each inconsistent unit's
--     supporters always precede it in the list.
--
--     As an example, given four units, A withs B, B withs C, and C withs D;
--     if D is replaced, the inconsistent list contains six units with the
--     three pairs:
--
--        DC  CB  BA
--
--     The list indicates that units C, B, and A are inconsistent (the
--     rightmost units of each pair). Semantic dependencies such as B depends
--     on C also are indicated. The units C, B, and A are in an order that
--     could be submitted to the compiler (a possible recompilation order).
--
--     If a unit is inconsistent because the source for the unit has been
--     edited (or otherwise been made inconsistent by some action of the user
--     or implementation) then the unit references Nil_Compilation_Unit as the
--     cause of the inconsistency (e.g., (Nil A Nil B) is a list of two
--     inconsistent units, neither of which can point to a third unit as the
--     cause for their being inconsistent).
--
--  --|IP An implementation is allowed to use Nil_Compilation_Unit value for
--  --|IP the first unit of each pair if it cannot determine the supporting
--  --|IP unit causing the inconsistent semantic dependence.
--
--     For the above example, the list returned is:
--
--           DC DB DA CB CA BA
--
--     This list reports all dependencies:
--
--           D withed by C withed by B withed by A => DC DB DA
--                       C withed by B withed by A => CB CA
--                                   B withed by A => BA
--
--  c) The missing dependence list:
--
--     The third list is made up of unit pairs.   Each pairing consists of a
--     unit followed by a missing related unit needed by the first unit.
--     A missing unit is a required Compilation_Unit, with a known name, with a
--     Unit_Kind that is either A_Nonexistent_Declaration or
--     A_Nonexistent_Body.
--
--     For example:
--
--     Given a list containing the units:  AB AC
--
--     If Unit_Kind(B) = A_Nonexistent_Declaration and
--        Unit_Kind(C) = A_Nonexistent_Body then
--
--     It can be deduced that:
--        A is missing a needed supporter B (A depends semantically on B).
--        A is missing a needed related unit body C
--        (depending on the kind for A, C can be A's required body or some
--         subunit of A)
--
--     A unit is reported as missing only if the Post-Compilation Rules of Ada
--     determine it to be needed.  Reference Manual 10.2.
--
--  d) The circular dependence list:
--
--     Circular dependencies between compilation units are provided in the
--     fourth list.  There may be more than one set of circular dependencies.
--     The ordering of distinct sets in the list is implementation-defined.
--     This list will never contain nonexistent units.
--
--     The list is made up of unit pairs.  The second unit of each pair depends
--     semantically on the first unit.  A circularity is established when the
--     first unit of a pair also appears as the second unit of a later pair.
--     (See the unit A in the example below; it is the first unit of the first
--     pair and is the second unit of the third pair). The next set of circular
--     dependent units, if any, starts with the next unit in the list (the unit
--     D in the example below).
--
--     For example:
--
--     Given a list containing the units:  AC CB BA DG GF FE ED
--
--     It can be determined that there are two sets of circularly dependent
--     units:
--        {A, B, C} and {D, E, F, G}
--
--     The dependencies are:  A depends on B, B depends on C, C depends on A.
--            D depends on E, E depends on F, F depends on G, G depends on D.
--
--     Each circle of dependence is reported exactly once.  It is not reported
--     once for each unit in the circle.

--  --|AN
--  --|AN For these two queries, the existence of units in one or more of the
--  --|AN inconsistent, missing, or circular units list means that the
--  --|AN consistent unit list may not be complete.
