I apologize if this is a dumb question, but:

I've read that Ada uses memory pools for each type. When I read this, I thi=
nk it means, for instance, Ada sets up something like an array of 10000 ele=
ments for each type, and when the user asks to allocate a new object of suc=
h-and-such type, the run-time system hands that to you.

Is that the idea, or do they mean something else?
