Re: Access to function returning class-wide type

Anyway, the access parameter exists so that an instance of this routine
matches the profile of S'Class'Input. After all, the purpose of this
routine is to eliminate the Ada 95 compiler magic involved with
S'Class'Input and make it user-programmable. The thought is that a
user-defined version of S'Class'Input would be directly specified as an
instance of Generic_Dispatching_Constructor.

I realized just now that I screwed up this answer, it doesn't make much
sense as I wrote it above. The correct reason was so that S'Input could be
used as the constructor routine to an instance of
Generic_Dispatching_Constructor, and then that instance could be used as
part of a routine implementing a user-defined S'Class'Input. Sorry about any
confusion.

Randy.
