F.3.3 The Package Text_IO.Editing
The package Text_IO.Editing provides a private type
Picture with associated operations, and a generic package Decimal_Output.
An object of type Picture is composed from a well-formed picture String
(see
F.3.1) and a Boolean item indicating
whether a zero numeric value will result in an edited output string of
all space characters. The package Decimal_Output contains edited output
subprograms implementing the effects defined in
F.3.2.
Static Semantics
The library package
Text_IO.Editing has the following declaration:
package Ada.Text_IO.Editing
with Nonblocking, Global =>
in out synchronized is
function Valid (Pic_String :
in String;
Blank_When_Zero :
in Boolean := False)
return Boolean;
function To_Picture (Pic_String :
in String;
Blank_When_Zero :
in Boolean := False)
return Picture;
function Pic_String (Pic :
in Picture)
return String;
function Blank_When_Zero (Pic :
in Picture)
return Boolean;
Max_Picture_Length :
constant :=
implementation_defined;
Picture_Error :
exception;
Default_Currency :
constant String := "$";
Default_Fill :
constant Character := '*';
Default_Separator :
constant Character := ',';
Default_Radix_Mark :
constant Character := '.';
generic
type Num

Default_Currency :
in String := Text_IO.Editing.Default_Currency;
Default_Fill :
in Character := Text_IO.Editing.Default_Fill;
Default_Separator :
in Character :=
Text_IO.Editing.Default_Separator;
Default_Radix_Mark :

Text_IO.Editing.Default_Radix_Mark;
package Decimal_Output
is
function Length (Pic :

return Natural;
function Valid (Item :

return Boolean;
function Image (Item :

return String;
procedure Put (File :

Currency :
in String := Default_Currency;

in Character := Default_Fill;

in Character := Default_Radix_Mark)
with Nonblocking => False;
procedure Put (Item :
in Num;
Pic :
in Picture;
Currency :
in String := Default_Currency;

in Character := Default_Fill;

procedure Put (To :

Radix_Mark :
in Character := Default_Radix_Mark);
end Decimal_Output;
private
...
-- not specified by the language
end Ada.Text_IO.Editing;
The exception Constraint_Error
is raised if the Image function or any of the Put procedures is invoked
with a null string for Currency.
function Valid (Pic_String : in String;
Blank_When_Zero : in Boolean := False) return Boolean;
Valid returns True
if Pic_String is a well-formed picture String (see
F.3.1)
the length of whose expansion does not exceed Max_Picture_Length, and
if either Blank_When_Zero is False or Pic_String contains no '*'.
function To_Picture (Pic_String : in String;
Blank_When_Zero : in Boolean := False)
return Picture;
To_Picture returns
a result Picture such that the application of the function Pic_String
to this result yields an expanded picture String equivalent to Pic_String,
and such that Blank_When_Zero applied to the result Picture is the same
value as the parameter Blank_When_Zero. Picture_Error is raised if not
Valid(Pic_String, Blank_When_Zero).
function Pic_String (Pic : in Picture) return String;
function Blank_When_Zero (Pic : in Picture) return Boolean;
If Pic is To_Picture(String_Item,
Boolean_Item) for some String_Item and Boolean_Item, then:
Pic_String(Pic) returns an expanded picture
String equivalent to String_Item and with any lower-case letter replaced
with its corresponding upper-case form, and
Blank_When_Zero(Pic) returns Boolean_Item.
If Pic_1 and Pic_2
are objects of type Picture, then "="(Pic_1, Pic_2) is True
when
Pic_String(Pic_1) = Pic_String(Pic_2),
and
Blank_When_Zero(Pic_1)
= Blank_When_Zero(Pic_2).
function Length (Pic : in Picture;
Currency : in String := Default_Currency)
return Natural;
Length returns Pic_String(Pic)'Length
+ Currency_Length_Adjustment – Radix_Adjustment where
Currency_Length_Adjustment
=
Currency'Length – 1 if there
is some occurrence of '$' in Pic_String(Pic), and
0 otherwise.
Radix_Adjustment
=
1 if there is an occurrence of 'V'
or 'v' in Pic_Str(Pic), and
0
otherwise.
function Valid (Item : in Num;
Pic : in Picture;
Currency : in String := Default_Currency)
return Boolean;
Valid returns True
if Image(Item, Pic, Currency) does not raise Layout_Error, and returns
False otherwise.
function Image (Item : in Num;
Pic : in Picture;
Currency : in String := Default_Currency;
Fill : in Character := Default_Fill;
Separator : in Character := Default_Separator;
Radix_Mark : in Character := Default_Radix_Mark)
return String;
Image returns the
edited output String as defined in
F.3.2
for Item, Pic_String(Pic), Blank_When_Zero(Pic), Currency, Fill, Separator,
and Radix_Mark. If these rules identify a layout error, then Image raises
the exception Layout_Error.
procedure Put (File : in File_Type;
Item : in Num;
Pic : in Picture;
Currency : in String := Default_Currency;
Fill : in Character := Default_Fill;
Separator : in Character := Default_Separator;
Radix_Mark : in Character := Default_Radix_Mark);
procedure Put (Item : in Num;
Pic : in Picture;
Currency : in String := Default_Currency;
Fill : in Character := Default_Fill;
Separator : in Character := Default_Separator;
Radix_Mark : in Character := Default_Radix_Mark);
Each of these Put
procedures outputs Image(Item, Pic, Currency, Fill, Separator, Radix_Mark)
consistent with the conventions for Put for other real types in case
of bounded line length (see
A.10.6, “
Get
and Put Procedures”).
procedure Put (To : out String;
Item : in Num;
Pic : in Picture;
Currency : in String := Default_Currency;
Fill : in Character := Default_Fill;
Separator : in Character := Default_Separator;
Radix_Mark : in Character := Default_Radix_Mark);
Put copies Image(Item, Pic, Currency, Fill, Separator,
Radix_Mark) to the given string, right justified. Otherwise, unassigned
Character values in To are assigned the space character. If To'Length
is less than the length of the string resulting from Image, then Layout_Error
is raised.
Implementation Requirements
Max_Picture_Length shall be at least 30. The implementation
shall support currency strings of length up to at least 10, both for
Default_Currency in an instantiation of Decimal_Output, and for Currency
in an invocation of Image or any of the Put procedures.
