Unchecked_Deallocation

[Scott Barrish]

Ada Professionals:

According to my professor's handout's and lecture notes, I should be able
to do the following:

--Scott Barrish
--CPSC-151
--Professor P. Williams
--October 23, 1997

--First Created:  October 21, 1997 6:45pm
--Last Revised:	  October 21, 1997 6:45pm

with Ada.Text_IO;	use Ada.Text_IO;

package body Stack_Dynamic is

procedure Free is new Unchecked_Deallocation(Object => Element_Type, Name
=> Stack_Ptr);

.
.
.

However, when I goto compile in Dubug mode, the compiler complains and says
that Unchecked_Deallocation is not found.  Ingnoring future references.

I thought that Unchecked_Deallocation is a generic procedure found in
Ada.Text_IO.  If I am wrong, please help me in fixing this part ofmy code.

I thank you a head of time for your help.

Sincerely,

Scott B.

P.S.  E-mail your reply.  My news server is very slow.

Have you asked your professor about this? That should be your first line
of inquiry.

Ada.Unchecked_Deallocation is indeed a generic procedure. It has nothing
to do with Ada.Text_Io (other than both being children of Ada). If you
mention it in a context clause your instantiation should compile fine.

Has anyone ever heard of "Unchecked_Deallocation?"  If so, what is it?

Look in any Ada text or reference manual.  It's similar to Free.

unchecked_deallocation

[Felix Engemann]

Hi all,

I'm just writing a generic double linked list package.
I want to implement a function destroy_list, wich should return null
and free the space. My question is:

is all the space freed, if i set a pointer to the first node and then free the
space with free(pointer_to_first_node)

or do i have to delete and free from node to node, in order to free all the
space ?

Thanx Felix

You must deallocate every node individually.  Use a recursive procedure (not a 
function) to do this.  Returning a null pointer serves no purpose.
