Does Unchecked_Deallocation work with unconstrained arrays?  If so, will
a single instance work for all arrays in the type, or is a different
instance needed for each actual array size?

Here are some snippets that show what I am trying to do:

   type DNA_String is array( Positive range <> ) of Float;
   type DNA_Ptr is access DNA_String;

...

   procedure Free is
      new Ada.Unchecked_Deallocation( DNA_String, DNA_Ptr );

...

      DNA : DNA_Ptr;

...

      DNA := new DNA_String( 1 .. Number_Of_Units**2 );

...

      Free( DNA );



Thanks,
