Stupid Question but it bothers me

[Hubert <herrdoktor@fumanchu.com>]

Yes, sorry I am sure this is a stupid question but I can not remember 
that I read an answer to it in Barne's book.

suppose you have simple record

TYPE A_Type IS RECORD
   My_Map : <instantiated Ada.Containers.Map>;
END RECORD;


now when I allocate a record with NEW obviously the map is correctly 
initialized.

What happens when I deallocate the record with an instantiation of 
Ada.Unchecked_Deallocate? is the map correctly destroyed or do I have to 
revive my record from Ada.Finalization? I mean there is no obvious 
memory leak detector in Ada so I am always a bit blind (on C++ I usually 
use VisualLeakDetector).

I assume, when I store access values in the map I will have to go 
through all entries and deallocate them one by one which is fine, but my 
question is about the map and it's internal datastructures. Will the 
deallocation automatically deallocate elements like the map as well?


Thanks
