Hello,

I have some strings and depending of an enum I want to return a
string. My code looks the following:

function Event_To_String(Event : in Events_Type) return String is
   Ev1_Name : aliased constant String :="ev3434";
   Ev2_Name : aliased constant String :="evEnd";
   eventStrings : constant array (1..2) of access constant String :=
(Ev1_Name'Access,Ev2_Name'Access);

   begin

   return EventStrings(Events_Type'Pos(Event));
end Event_To_String;

The compiler says:

expected type "Standard.String"
found type access to "Standard.String" defined ...

I think that my code returns the pointer to the string and not the
string. But I don't know how to fix it.
Is there a better solution to create an array of strings and accessing
them with an index?

Thanks,
Peter
