From: Eric Botcazou <ebotca...@adacore.com>
This happens with a noncontrolled type because the user-defined indexing is
expanded into a function call that binds the lifetime of the original call
to its return value. The temporary must be created explicitly in this case,
so that the front-end can control its lifetime.
gcc/ada/ChangeLog:
* exp_ch6.adb (Expand_Call_Helper): Also create a temporary in the
case of a noncontrolled user-defined indexing.
Tested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, committed on master.
