I assume you mean the Ada ISO standard -- I believe that it allows but
doesn't require GC, and it isn't specific about how GC is accomplished.
I cross-posted to comp.lang.ada to allow the language lawyers to
correct and/or embellish.
I saw a post about 6 months ago saying that Smalltalk and Visual Basic
byte code compilers are also in the works (along with Scheme and maybe
some other less-used languages). Does anyone know what's going on with
these languages?? Is anyone trying to do a C++ to byte-code compiler??
