Reference counting access type

Reference counting access type

[AdaMagica]

For a safe reference counting access type (any user deallocation
prohibited, so the safety cannot be compromized - there are never
dangling pointers) see
http://www.christ-usch-grein.homepage.t-online.de/Ada/Smart_Pointers.html

This follows strictly the example at AdaCore gem #107
http://www.adacore.com/2011/06/06/gem-107-preventing-deallocation-for-reference-counted-types/

There is a preview to the Ada 2012 implicit dereference aspect
included (GNAT GPL 2011 does not yet fully support this).

Cool.

BTW, Christoph, any time I try to send you mail it comes back in a week with 
a non-delivery notice. So far as I can tell, there is no response from 
either of your e-mail addresses to any attempt to send mail from here. Not 
sure why, maybe someone has blacklisted us for no obvious reason (don't have 
a problem with other correspondents). So if you're wondering why you never 
get any mail from me anymore, that's why.

Randy,

have you received my private mail? I'm curious what you tried to
send...

I received it (that works),  the reply bounced again, and I went to the ARG 
meeting. I'll try sending you some mail from my phone (since that will 
bypass our e-mail system), but you need to figure out some way to get 
ada-auth.org, etc. whitelisted at your provider if you want to get any 
Ada-related mail in the future.

                       Randy.
