  Given
    package One is
      Global_Voltage : Integer;
      ...
    end One;
    package Two is
      Global_Red_Button_Pushed : Boolean;
      ...
   end Two;
   ...
How about adding
  package Self_Description is
  begin -- run once at package Self_Description's elaboration time
    Tell_Monitor("One.Global_Voltage", One.Global_Voltage'address);
    Tell_Monitor("Two.Global_Red_Button_Pushed",
                 Two.Global_Red_Button_Pushed'address);
    ...
  end Self_Description;
Assuming of course that 'address in the testee program is meaningful
to the monitor program.
