Re: Question on arrays

["Marin David Condic" <mcondic.auntie.spam@acm.org>]

That depends a lot on how A_Integer is declared. For one thing, when you are
de-referencing the array, you are talking about an object of its component
type, not an array, so the "(others =>...)" aggregate is probably
inappropriate. (A_Integer (2) probably references an object of type
"Integer" - which is not an array and to which you can't assign an
aggregate - but we'd have to see the declaration.) Secondly, *if* the array
is composed of objects of type Integer, then the aggregate references a
constant of type Unversal Real - which is a type mismatch. (2.0 is not the
same as 2 - at least in Ada context).

So you might get:

A_Integer (2) := 2 ;

to work Or possibly you might get:

A_Integer (2..3) := (others => 2);

to work (because now it is an array slice). Post a bit more code if this
doesn't explain it.
