Subject: Ada Pointer Problem
Date: 1 Oct 2004 08:26:21 -0700
Date: 2004-10-01T08:26:21-07:00 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <35f054ea.0410010726.466caebc@posting.google.com> (raw)
Each Ptr assignment below yields the following error message:
-- 9. Ptr : a.X_Ptr := Object'Access;
-- non-local pointer cannot point to local object
In the past, the only way that I seem to be able to fix the problem is to
put the pointer and assignment in global space (either in file global or
in a package spec). I've looked at Ada as a Second Language (Cohen) and,
with less diligence, at the Ada LRM but can't figure what I'm doing wrong.
What am I doing wrong?
thanks
