(I _wish_ you could use shorter lines!)
Is an "RDF.Raptor.Syntaxes.Syntax_Description_Type" actually an "access
constant RDF.Auxiliary.Dummy_Record"? If so, why not just declare
C_Raptor_Parser_Get_Description as returning a
RDF.Raptor.Syntaxes.Syntax_Description_Type? And if not, what are you
doing returning an unchecked conversion of one to the other?
Your code as it stands is equivalent to
function C_Raptor_Parser_Get_Description
(Parser : Handle_Type)
return RDF.Raptor.Syntaxes.Syntax_Description_Type
with
Import,
Convention => C,
External_Name => "raptor_parser_get_description";
