There are ways of doing both.

If you're programming in Ada you rarely (if ever) need to use them.  The 
only cases I have used them is in interfacing with other languages.

Your question is indicative of a C way of thinking.

Tell us a little more about what you're trying to do, and perhaps we can 
suggest an approach using an Ada way of thinking.
