Please pardon my ignorance, but I have not been able to find how to do this
on the web.

I want to get the address of a particular object that is getting passed into
a function.  How can I do this?
Also, how can I get the address of some arbitrary element of an array?

Essentially, I want the return value of the following c++ statements:

return &Obj;
and
return &Array[5];

I understand that having pointers all over the place is somewhat discouraged
in Ada, but this is for a Windows API call binding.  Sorry if this is
obvious and I have overlooked it.  Any informative responses would be
greatly appreciated.  Thanks for your time + bandwidth.
