Controlled types will work with my components because a new object is 
created every time you insert into the table. and that is probably true 
of all my structure components, even though they were developped in Ada 83.

GNAT.Dynamic_Table does not work because it preallocates an array for 
storing its stuff, thus avoiding one allocation per insertion into the 
table.

You should describe your problem (what do you need to store into the 
table, what is the distribution of values of your index/key type ?) so 
that we can give you a better hint for choosing the right component.
