Something like that:

with Ada.Text_IO, Ada.Integer_Text_IO; use Ada.Text_IO, Ada.Integer_Text_IO;

procedure Test_Static_in_generic is

  type S is array(0..7) of Integer;

  generic
    foo: Integer;
  package P is
    procedure BAR;
  end;
  
  package body P is
    initialized: Boolean:= False;
    cache: S;
    procedure BAR is
    begin
      if not initialized then
        cache:= (others=> foo);
        initialized:= True;
      end if;
      Put(cache(cache'last));
    end;
  end;

  package P10 is new P(10);
  package P20 is new P(20);
  package P30 is new P(30);

begin
  for count in 1..4 loop
    for i in 1..3 loop
      case i is
        when 1=> P10.BAR;
        when 2=> P20.BAR;
        when 3=> P30.BAR;
      end case;
    end loop;
    New_Line;
  end loop;
end;

?

BTW: what this solution with pointers is about ?!
