Hi,
In converting some C code to Ada I came across a difficulty.
In C, I pass the address of a structure (any structure) to a
routine that doesn't care what the structure is. The structure
is defined in this higher-level program which contains the
procedure call. For example :
struct stype { int a,b,c; float d,e,f; } a_struct;
x = func_name(&a_struct);
/* BTW, in "func_name" I store the structure contents in
bytes by casting (char *). */
In designing the low-level routine (in which this function
is encoded), I was wondering if I could pass the address of
a structure as I do above in C.
If not, then I would have to use a generic package with a
private parameter.

Also, thanks to everyone who sent me replied to my last
mail message regarding questions on C -> Ada.
