It is sometimes, it is always a factor of how you will be using the pointer.

Here is likely what you are looking for (from gnatcom-types.ads - 
http://www.gnavi.org)

   type Void is null record;

   subtype Pointer_To_Void is System.Address;

   type Pointer_To_Pointer_To_Void is access all Pointer_To_Void;

   --  C style Void pointers
