This patch fixes an issue in the compiler whereby a spurious
accessibility error regarding actuals for explicitly aliased formals in
a function call within a return statement gets triggered during
compilation when the return type of the function call in question has
implicit dereference specified.
Tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, committed on trunk
gcc/ada/
* sem_util.adb (In_Return_Value): Modified to detect when
implicit dereference is specified on the return type of a
function call within the expression being checked.
