OK, I looked it up. What you say you did was:

So, it isn't a general garbage collector integrated into the compiler.
It's a controlled type that cleans itself up -- I assume it's using
reference counting.
That's a useful exercise, and I'd like to see you post the code.
But it's not particularly related to the level of effort it would take
to do a full-up, behind-the-scenes garbage collector integrated into
the compiler.
I'm not aware of a project to develop garbage collection for GNAT --
anybody, is there one going? ACT isn't planning to do it. Is the
Ada community going to do it?
Best,
Sam Mize
