You need to cite chapter and verse here. I have worked with
many many Ada compilers, and none of them ignored unchecked
deallocation, and it is hard to imagine that any would.
Of course GNAT deallocates memory, but I would never claim
this is a special advantage of GNAT, since all Ada
compilers deallocate memory.
The only instance I know of in commercial Ada compilers
which might give rise to such a peculiar claim is the
old obsolete Alsys 386 compiler, which for local
collections (not very common in practice) delayed the
deallocation till scope exit, but even there to say that
the memory was not deallocated is false.
Just what *are* you talking about here. I have often heard
misinformation about Ada spread, but this is among the
most extraordinary examples!
