The function Apply_Accessibility_Check_For_Parameter in the Ada front end has been renamed to Apply_Accessibility_Check_For_Conversion. This renaming reflects that the function is also used for Ada 2012’s stand-alone objects of anonymous access types, not solely for access parameters. The change improves the accuracy and clarity of the codebase by giving the function a name that encompasses all its use cases.
