Where possible GNAT will store the binary representation of a record
aggregate in memory for space and performance reasons. This
configuration pragma changes this behaviour so that record aggregates
are instead always converted into individual assignment statements.

The following package pack.ads:

-- pack.ads

pragma Aggregate_Individually_Assign;
pragma Restrictions (No_Multiple_Elaboration);

package Pack is
   type A_Rec is record
      A, B, C, D : Boolean;
   end record;

   A : A_Rec := (True, False, True, True);
end Pack;

when compiled with

gcc -c -gnatdg pack.ads

should produce the following output:
