I previously asked a question regarding accessibility checks being raised in Ada, which @Brian Drummond was kind enough to awnser. The accessibility check was in a function, now I have a similair problem within a procedure; any guidance as to why this is would be greatly appreciated.
The code I am working on has been taken from here: https://github.com/raph-amiard/ada-synth-lib
The code in main file below is from the the Simple_Sine example which can be found here: https://github.com/raph-amiard/ada-synth-lib/blob/master/examples/simple_sine.adb
My main file looks like this:
with Write_To_Stdout;
with Command; use Command;
with Effects; use Effects;
with Sound_Gen_Interfaces; use Sound_Gen_Interfaces;
with Utils; use Utils;
procedure main is
pragma Suppress (Accessibility_Check);
BPM : Natural := 15;
Notes : Notes_Array :=
To_Seq_Notes ((C, G, F, G, C, G, F, A, C, G, F, G, C, G, F, G), 400, 4);
function Simple_Synth
(S : access Simple_Sequencer; Tune : Integer := 0; Decay : Integer)
return access Mixer
is
(Create_Mixer
((0 => (Create_Sine (Create_Pitch_Gen (Tune, S)), 0.5)),
Env => Create_ADSR (5, 50, Decay, 0.5, S)));
Volume : Float := 0.9;
Decay : Integer := 800;
Seq : access Simple_Sequencer;
Sine_Gen : access Mixer;
Main : constant access Mixer := Create_Mixer (No_Generators);
begin
for I in -3 .. 1 loop
Seq := Create_Sequencer (16, BPM, 1, Notes);
Sine_Gen := Simple_Synth (Seq, I * 12, Decay);
Main.Add_Generator (Sine_Gen, Volume);
BPM := BPM * 2;
Volume := Volume / 1.8;
Decay := Decay / 2;
end loop;
Write_To_Stdout (Main);
end main;
The error that's raised is this:
raised PROGRAM_ERROR : sound_gen_interfaces.adb:20 accessibility check failed
It is raised during a call to this procedure:

Any help as to why this is happening would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
What you're seeing here is the result of (over-)using anonymous access types (discussed in ARM 3.10.2, informally known as the “Heart of Darkness” amongst the maintainers of Ada).
I don't think there's a simple way around this (aside from using -gnatp, as we found earlier, to suppress all checks; though perhaps you might have luck with
pragma Suppress (Accessibility_Check);
in the units where there's a problem).
I managed to get a build without Program_Errors with a fairly brutal hack, changing the anonymous access I_Simulation_Listener'Class to the named Simulation_Listener_Access throughout and, for example,
function Create_Simple_Command
(On_Period, Off_Period : Sample_Period;
Note : Note_T) return access Simple_Command'Class
is
begin
return N : constant access Simple_Command'Class
:= new Simple_Command'(Note => Note,
Buffer => <>,
On_Period => On_Period,
Off_Period => Off_Period,
Current_P => 0)
do
Register_Simulation_Listener (N);
end return;
end Create_Simple_Command;
to
function Create_Simple_Command
(On_Period, Off_Period : Sample_Period;
Note : Note_T) return access Simple_Command'Class
is
Command : constant Simulation_Listener_Access
:= new Simple_Command'(Note => Note,
Buffer => <>,
On_Period => On_Period,
Off_Period => Off_Period,
Current_P => 0);
begin
Register_Simulation_Listener (Command);
return Simple_Command (Command.all)'Access;
end Create_Simple_Command;
Ideally I'd have thought about having Create_Simple_Command returning a named access type too.
You can see where I got to at Github.
