Adam answered this adequately. But I take it you have never passed a
by-reference type as a parameter? Or are you surprised that that an access
to that parameter is what is really passed, even though the declaration says
something else??
My point being that hidden pointers are extremely common in the
implementation of modern programming languages, and certainly are common in
Ada implementations. The only language I know of that insists on making such
things explicit is C, and I think even it has some cases where the pointers
are implicit (struct parameters).
Randy.
