More on Compilation States

Using compilation commands, you can parse, analyze, compile, and link program units in the compilation context of the view associated with the units. The compiler that is used, the values of compiler switches, and the imported views that provide external visibility are all established by the view context.

Each compilation command produces permanent information that is used by succeeding commands. For example, In Ada, the Compile > Analyze command provides semantic information about the meaning of the units that is later used to generate code.

The compilation states are described below:

If you skip a compilation step, the lower compilation commands are superseded by the higher one. For example, if you execute Compile > Code on a unit without executing Compile > Analyze, the Code command does an implicit Analyze.

More information on Ada compilation can be found in the Ada Compiler Reference.
