Subject: access to controlled types

Message-ID: <918079635.219550@outpost1.roc.accglobal.net> (raw)
In a new version of TASH, I've implmented an interface
to Tcl objects (which are reference counted) with Ada
controlled types. I've been very impressed with how
well this works in GNAT.
But, there are certain calls in the interface which
return an access to a class-wide type. It's easy to
reference count these newly created objects, but since
the access type is not controlled, the reference counts
don't get decremented. What's the solution? Should I
declare another controlled type which *contains* an
access to the original controlled type? Or, is there
a better solution?
