Sure. If the access value denotes a record value, you don't have
to put ".all" to access the record's fields:
F := Access_Value.all.Field;
F := Access_Value.Field;
This requires different syntax in C ("@" and "." versus "->", IIRC).
In a case like this, it's unlikely you are making a mistake, so Ada
assumes you want the implicit ".all".
On the other hand, mis-using a pointer to a scalar is a common
error, so Ada doesn't infer any de-references -- you have to do
them manually.
Best,
Sam Mize
