Subject: Access to Address conversion question

Message-ID: <DoMv6y.2p@jvdsys.nextjk.stuyts.nl> (raw)
It might be just me again, but I cannot figure out how to convert an access
type to an address, as in assigning Address_C in the code below. GNAT (3.03)
tells me I have an invalid parameter list in the call to To_Address here ?
Of course I realize that although my C background makes me view Some_Object_Ptr
as just an alias for Some_Object'ACCESS it is, in fact, a different type.
However, LRM 13.7.2 (3) led me to believe it should be possible...
with System.Address_To_Access_Conversions;
with System.Storage_Elements; use System.Storage_Elements;
procedure Demo is
type Some_Object is array (1..10) of Character;
type Some_Object_Ptr is access all Some_Object;
package Some_Object_Conversion is
new System.Address_To_Access_Conversions(Some_Object);
use Some_Object_Conversion;
A_Object : aliased Some_Object;
A_Object_Ptr : Some_Object_Ptr := A_Object'ACCESS;
Address_A, Address_B, Address_C : Integer;
begin
Address_A := Integer(To_Integer(A_Object'ADDRESS));
Address_B := Integer(To_Integer(To_Address(A_Object'ACCESS)));
Address_C := Integer(To_Integer(To_Address(A_Object_Ptr)));
end Demo;
