For aggregate components that are aggregates the frontend has been
enhanced to evaluate if the inner aggregate depends on the variable
being assigned to. This enhancement allows the compiler to avoid the
generation of a temporary and thus generate better code for large nested
aggregates.

unsafe components that are aggregates; such removal allows the
frontend to proceed and evaluate if they are safe by means of
invoking Safe_Aggregate.--- gcc/ada/exp_aggr.adb
