My experience is limited to ASIS for Ada 83 but I hope this
helps anyway. Once you have an element of kind a_component_declaration
this can be used just like an_object_declaration. I assume you
already have each a_component_declaration from the record
since you say your are looping through all the components
of a record.

Also sssuming you already have a routine which takes
an_object_declaration
and produces the base type, you can reuse this same routine on each
a_component_declaration you produce from decomposing the record.

No wizardry involved :)
