3.3.2 Package Naming

Attributes in package Naming of a configuration file specify defaults. These attributes may be used in user project files to replace these defaults.

The following attributes usually appear in package Naming of a configuration file:

• Spec_Suffix (<language>)

  Specifies the default suffix for a “spec” or header file. Examples:

     for Spec_Suffix ("Ada") use ".ads";
     for Spec_Suffix ("C")   use ".h";
     for Spec_Suffix ("C++") use ".hh";
    

• Body_Suffix (<language>)

  Specifies the default suffix for a “body” or a source file. Examples:

     for Body_Suffix ("Ada") use ".adb";
     for Body_Suffix ("C")   use ".c";
     for Body_Suffix ("C++") use ".cpp";
    

• Separate_Suffix

  Specifies the suffix for a subunit source file (separate) in Ada. If attribute Separate_Suffix is not specified, then the default suffix of subunit source files is the same as the default suffix for body source files. Example:

     for Separate_Suffix use ".sep";
    

• Casing

  Specifies the casing of spec and body files in a unit based language (such as Ada) to know how to map a unit name to its file name. The values for this attribute may only be "lowercase", "UPPERCASE" and "Mixedcase". The default, when attribute Casing is not specified is lower case. This attribute rarely needs to be specified, since on platforms where file names are not case sensitive (such as Windows or VMS) the default (lower case) will suffice.

• Dot_Replacement

  Specifies the string to replace a dot (“.”) in unit names of a unit based language (such as Ada) to obtain its file name. If there is any unit based language in the configuration, attribute Dot_Replacement must be declared. Example:

     for Dot_Replacement use "-";
