Would it be possible? I think you can use the Boehm collector together with GNAT. There might be some issues with tasking, but it should work pretty well, especially if you do not replace the standard C malloc() and use the collector malloc() only for your own objects (using a suitable storage pool). > Is there any interest in such a thing? The interest in garbage collection among the Ada users seems to be pretty low in general because otherwise, some of the Ada compiler vendors would have implemented it. ;-)
