If you are looking for the equivelent of an automatic 'destroy' function,
then
look up the 'ada.finalization.controlled' tagged type in any Ada95
reference.  Among other things, it will tell you how to set up a procedure
that is called whenever an instantiated object, derived from that class, is
destroyed.
