That's right.  If you're not doing anything with these things
on the C side, except copying the pointers around, then it's
fine to silence the warning.  Use the form of pragma Warnings(Off/On)
with a string around that one line of code, so you only silence
the one warning.

There's nothing wrong with silencing warnings when they are
false alarms, although it's a good idea to have a comment
explaining why.

GNAT never uses fat pointers for class-wide.  Fat pointers
are used only when the designated type is an unconstrained
array (and there are ways to get thin pointers for arrays).
I am ignoring access-to-subprogram, here.
