I'd prefer
...
function All_Some_Condition (A : Some_Array) return Boolean is
begin
for I in A'range loop
if not some_condition A(I) then
return False ;
end if ;
end loop ;
return True ;
end All_Some_Condition ;
begin
...
if All_Some_Condition(A) then
N := N+1 ;
end if ;
...
That seems to make the intention clearer and the main-line code is easy
to read as well.
If you have a lot of "conditions" then you could make a generic
"All_Are" and instantiate with a function computing the necessary
condition. In the case above, you are simply writing an explicit
instance, e.g.
function All_True ...
...
if not A(I) then ...
or
function All_Less_Than_100 ...
...
if not ( A() < 100 ) ...

Steve
