[comp.lang.ada] how do I do pointers to functions in Ada

bagpiper@pnet02.gryphon.com (Michael Hunter) (12/04/89)

I heard a vailed reference the other day of some way of manipulating address
attributes in some way such that you could take the address of a function or
procedure, store it, and latter execute (vector off to) it.  I havn't been
able to figure out how this could be done in Ada.  I realize that it isn't a
normal thing to do in the Ada programming philosophy and could probably turn
out non-protable, but it could be usefull and the answer could be interesting.
