David Morton asks

"int *ptr;
int i;

ptr = &i;"

[how to do in Ada]

well you can exactly duplicate this using aliased and the 'Access attribute,
but a best guess is that you do not want to do this. This sounds like
a matter of rewriting C code in Ada but keeping C style, generally a
bad idea. Why not tell us what your problem is instead of asking for help
with your C-style solutions, there is probably a better way to do things
in Ada. This kind of use of pointers is inherently risky.
