As others have said, the short answer is "no".

However, depending on what you really want to do, there are ways to
define one pointer that can point to different functions at different
times.

One way is a simple 'access subprogram type.

Another is class wide programming on an inheritance type heirarchy.

Can you say something about what you are trying to do (assuming it's
more than "make Ada look like C")?
