I have a problem with an Ada program, which is possibly access to a 
dangling reference (e.g. after Unchecked_Deallocation).

Do I guess rightly that JGNAT (as opposed to normal Gnat) will detect 
this problem for me? Is JGNAT free?

In general how to find dereferencing dangling references in Ada? I 
would use an OO wrapper around accesses which would do reference 
counting (in debug mode), but living entirely without accesses seems
bad.
