   --  Builders.
   --  A complex type is a type whose size is not locally static.
   --
   --  The most simple example is an unidimensionnl array whose range
   --  depends on generics.
   --
   --  We call first order complex type any array whose bounds are not
   --  locally static and whose sub-element size is locally static.
   --
   --  First order complex type objects are represented by a pointer to an
   --  array of sub-element, and the storage area for the array is
   --  allocated at run-time.
   --
   --  Since a sub-element type may be a complex type, a type may be
   --  complex because one of its sub-element type is complex.
   --  EG, a record type whose one element is a complex array.
   --
   --  A type may be complex either because it is a first order complex
   --  type (ie an array whose bounds are not locally static) or because
   --  one of its sub-element type is such a type (this is recursive).
   --
   --  We call second order complex type a complex type that is not of first
   --  order.
   --  We call third order complex type a second order complex type which is
   --  an array whose bounds are not locally static.
   --
   --  In a complex type, sub-element of first order complex type are
   --  represented by a pointer.
   --  Any complex type object (constant, signal, variable, port, generic)
   --  is represented by a pointer.
   --
   --  Creation of a second or third order complex type object consists in
   --  allocating the memory and building the object.
   --  Building a object consists in setting internal pointers.
   --
   --  A complex type has always a non-null INFO.C, and its size is computed
   --  during elaboration.
   --
   --  For a second or third order complex type, INFO.C.BUILDER_NEED_FUNC
   --  is set to TRUE.

   --  * base: a pointer to the data of the array.
