The real question is what you are trying to acheive by this. The use of
access types is rarely needed in well designed Ada, and over use of
access values is a common sign of writing Ada with the C mind set, since
in C practically everything has to be a pointer. If you can tell us what
you need to do at the problem level, we can probably help you achieve it
Ada, probably without access values.
